Wasteland Hideout: Upgrading from the Sewers

Chapter 268: [Radio Station] Construction Completed, Entering the Northern Wilderness

Inside the Containment Room.

Yu Yuan looked at the Swiftstrider, now a dried-up corpse, entwined by the Binding Bramble.

His eyelids twitched slightly as well.

From the moment the Binding Bramble wrapped around the Swiftstrider to now, a total of only five seconds had passed.

All the blood in the Swiftstrider's body had been completely sucked dry.

Even the spiritual organ on its body had lost all its spirituality.

Yu Yuan used his foot to nudge the dried-up corpse remains of the Swiftstrider.

*Crack...*

The Swiftstrider's arm snapped off and fell to the ground.

"The Binding Bramble is even more powerful than I imagined! It's a good thing Zhi Zhi escaped quickly last time, otherwise there really might have been danger."He put the Binding Bramble away.

Another trump card added to his arsenal.

At that moment, Fang sent him a message.

[Fang: King, the Radio Station construction is complete!]

Yu Yuan checked the time and immediately headed to the third floor.

He noticed that each floor of the shelter now had two small broadcast speakers.

On the underground third floor, on the wall between the living room and Yu Yuan's rest area, a wooden door and a glass window had appeared.

Through the window, one could see a radio station broadcast studio inside the room.

A mixing console, broadcast microphone, professional monitor speakers, audio workstation computer, digital audio player/recorder... and other extremely professional equipment filled the entire broadcast studio.

Fang was already inside the studio inspecting the equipment.

She held an operation manual in her hand.

"How does it feel?" Yu Yuan asked.

Yu Yuan had already discussed with Fang about her being responsible for the radio station.

So Fang naturally understood Yu Yuan's meaning.

"I think it's okay. The operation isn't too complicated; it's been simplified to a certain degree."

As she spoke, Fang had already sat in the host's chair, put on the broadcast headphones, and began operating according to the prompts in the manual.

Soon, a relatively upbeat piece of light music began playing throughout the shelter.

This sudden music made Masier, Doctor, and Dale, who were all working, pause for a moment, looking up towards the location of the speakers.

Masier held her tools and started swaying to the rhythm of the music.

Doctor refocused his attention on the petri dish in front of him.

Dale, however, showed a knowing smile and continued working with his head down.

But clearly, the sense of urgency weighing on their hearts due to the impending Endless Cold Wave had eased slightly.

This also led to an increase in their work efficiency.

And the flock of Cree Mountain sheep, hearing the light music, also became more relaxed and content, chewing their food heartily.

Yu Yuan, seeing a buff status named [Mood: Pleasant] appear on himself, also smiled slightly.

[Body and Mind Pleasure]

Type: buff

Effect: Listening to music, mental relaxation. Work efficiency +30%. Mental illness occurrence rate -20%, mental trauma recovery speed +20%.

Just this effect alone made the Radio Station worthy of being an Epic-tier facility; the large pile of resources consumed to build it were worth it.

But Yu Yuan valued the Radio Station's second effect even more.

"So, can you search for the frequencies of other radio channels?"

Yu Yuan looked at Fang.

Guided by the operation manual, Fang had already become familiar with the radio controls.

She operated between several devices, using the headphones to monitor for any abnormal signal fluctuations.

But soon, she shook her head slightly at Yu Yuan.

"King, no other radio signals have been detected."

Although he already knew that receiving content from other radio stations was a random probability, Yu Yuan still felt somewhat disappointed.

Now he could only hope this probability wasn't too low!

Leaving Fang to familiarize herself with the Radio Station.

Yu Yuan returned to the rest area.

He then received a picture sent by Mona and opened it to view.

A hint of joy appeared on his face.

"So Faith Gold is actually this?"

The photo Mona sent was a description from a book.

In simple terms, Faith Gold was not a specific object, but a general term for metal that had been bathed in a large amount of faith power.

It could be the gold powder on the surface of statues or sacred emblems devoutly worshipped in temples, shrines, or churches.

Or fragments of armor left at places where martyrs sacrificed themselves for their faith.

Or even ancestral weapons worshipped daily by certain ethnic groups.

These, when pulverized, were all called Faith Gold.

[Wolf Mother: The book was given to me by Miller. I think this explanation makes sense! Just not sure if it's correct.]

Looking at Mona's message, Yu Yuan felt this information was probably correct.

Faith Gold was one of the materials required to craft the Legendary-tier weapon Thunder's Secret Contract's exclusive projectile—the Silver Projectile.

It was also the final material Yu Yuan currently lacked.

Others, such as pure metallic silver, he had already collected long ago.

And the effect of the Silver Projectile was to have an extremely strong restraining effect on creatures of darkness, shadow, etc.

These also matched the characteristics of Faith Gold.

Opening the virtual map, he checked information about churches in Green Forest City.

Actually, he preferred information about temples; as everyone knows, temple Buddha statues are the most fond of being gilded.

But unfortunately, the only religious buildings in the entire Green Forest City were two large churches.

They were built in the western district and the northern district respectively.

That night, Yu Yuan went to the northern district's—St. Paul's Church.

He went directly before the sacred emblem representing religious faith.

The sacred emblem was covered in dust. After Yu Yuan wiped away the dust, the emblem immediately gleamed with a golden radiance.

And so, holding a dagger in one hand and a small plastic box in the other.

Yu Yuan scraped off the gold powder bit by bit.

The Stealth Rat crouched on Yu Yuan's shoulder, while shadow-constructed rats had quietly occupied every part of the church, inside and out, monitoring everything around them.

Half an hour later, Yu Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the golden powder in the box, and smiled.

[Faith Gold]

Introduction: This is a product bathed in a large amount of faith power. It might have some special effects in certain places.

"Success!"

Clearly, Mona's information was correct.

"With this, the Silver Projectile can also be crafted!"

Yu Yuan estimated there were about fifty grams of Faith Gold in the box.

Crafting one Silver Projectile required consuming 1 gram of Faith Gold.

With over fifty projectiles, it should be enough for a while.

After all, normal combat didn't require the use of Thunder's Secret Contract. The reason Yu Yuan was preparing these was solely in preparation for a possible invasion war launched by Moss Cottage.

Putting the items away, Yu Yuan didn't linger any longer. He had many things to do tonight and needed to hurry.

Leaving the church.

He rode Mie Mie and quickly left the northern district, entering the Northern Wilderness area.

Without the cover of buildings, Yu Yuan immediately felt the bitter, freezing cold.

"In a couple of days, it will probably be even more difficult to travel in this wilderness."

With that thought, Yu Yuan disappeared into the darkness.
