Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Chapter 1546: Chapter 521: Corpse Kingdom, Dangers in the Thick Fog!

Cao Xing pushed open the castle gates, and immediately, a vast white fog appeared before him.

It seemed as if the entire territory was shrouded in thick mist.

Only faintly could he see the black Energy Tower beside him and other buildings within the territory.

Even the tall Pale Trees appeared intermittently within the fog.

Surveying the surroundings, Cao Xing mused to himself: "Although the fog during the day is also thick, with the help of the Lighthouse, it’s barely possible to make out the terrain and carry out work."

"And it seems this Fog Disaster will persist for a while, so let’s use this time to develop the territory and upgrade those buildings."

Cao Xing intended to call over all the staff.

But before that, he opened the Giant Dragon Store and exchanged 400,000 Ice Dragon Marks for a blueprint.

[Exchange successful: You have received Expert-level Frost Wall Construction Blueprints *1, Ice Dragon Mark -400000...]

...

Before the system was updated, this was the highest level of wall blueprints that survivors could exchange for.

Currently, most territories have Basic Level and Intermediate walls, with Advanced being quite rare.

But not only had Cao Xing upgraded the entire territory’s walls to Advanced, he was now beginning to upgrade to Expert-level.

It’s imaginable how far ahead he is in terms of progress.

He glanced at the attributes of the blueprint.

[Expert-level Frost Wall Construction Blueprints]

[Blueprint Effect: Can upgrade Advanced Frost Walls in the territory to Expert-level, enhancing Armor and Durability]

[Armor: 1500]

[Durability: 100000]

[Attached Effect: Expert-level Frost Aura (Increases Armor of all friendly units within 100 meters by 300 points, reduces damage taken by the wall by 30%)]

[Area: 10 meters long * 15 meters high * 10 meters wide]

[Upgrade Required Materials: Advanced Frost Wall *1, Stone *1500, Ice Glacier Fragment *800, Iron *150, Dragon Rock Ore *30]

[Upgrade Required Time: 30 hours 34 minutes...]

...

"Gosh, does one wall need so many materials? It’s almost three times that of an Advanced wall!"

Of course, the durability and armor of the Expert-level wall, as well as its area, have significantly increased.

Cao Xing glanced at his resource reserves.

[Wood] *1.3144 million

[Stone] *1.5489 million

[Coal] *315,400

[Iron] *174,600

[Copper] *95,000

[Mithril] *41,461

[Ice Glacier Fragment] *17.5488 million

[Dragon Rock Ore] *71,837

...

"Not bad, the materials are abundant enough to upgrade all the walls once."

Then he pressed the communication device on his ear and spoke a sentence.

"All staff, gather."

Upon hearing the sound, shadows began to move in the fog-covered territory.

One by one, staff cautiously made their way through the path they remembered.

From the residential area of the second ring to the center of the territory, it was actually only a distance of one or two hundred meters.

But even this one or two hundred meters required them quite an effort to traverse successfully.

One can imagine, if they were outside, the situation would be even more severe.

After consuming ten minutes, hundreds of staff had gathered together.

Cao Xing glanced and then said: "Next, while the fog hasn’t dissipated, everyone will work within the territory."

"Cao Yi, you lead most of the staff, along with the Goblins, to upgrade all the walls from Advanced to Expert-level."

"Remember to adjust the lighting range of the Lighthouse, focusing work in the same area."

"If any personnel get lost or go missing, contact me immediately."

Subject Cao Yi respectfully replied: "Yes, Lord."

After speaking, he took over a hundred people and left.

Cao Xing continued: "Du An, your task for the near future is to continue upgrading the Energy Tower and Lord Castle."

"Additionally, construct the Empire Knight training grounds and War Research Institute."

"Particularly the latter building, which can be prioritized for construction."

"After completing these, arrange for the territory’s Lighthouses to be upgraded to expert-level as well."

Du An took down Cao Xing’s instructions one by one, then respectfully said: "At your service!"

After speaking, he also departed with a batch of Polar People and other staff.

Cao Xing glanced around; now only the villagers of Puteng Village and those cooks remained here.

Thus he said: "Alright, each of you proceed according to my instructions from yesterday."

"Yes."

The remaining staff disbanded.

Then, Cao Xing again pressed the communication device on his ear and said in the team channel: "There are no battle tasks for today."

"All combat personnel, train as required or rest as needed."

After Cao Xing issued this series of commands, the majority of members in the territory began to stir.

...

...

Cao Xing walked through waves of dense fog to the edge of the territory.

Anyway, this was his own territory, a place where he had lived for several months. The geography was relatively familiar, and even with his vision obstructed, he could still maneuver within it.

He climbed up the wall and took a stroll along the top.

As expected, the fog outside the territory was thicker still, even with his vision, he could only see a dozen meters ahead.

Under such circumstances, even heroic-level creatures were unable to move freely in the heavy fog.

Cao Xing sighed to himself: "This Fog Disaster is truly strange, unclear where it’s coming from, covering an entire continent."

However, this world has many bizarre occurrences, so such heavenly calamities are indeed normal.

Shaking his head, Cao Xing returned to the territory and went to the Mage Tower to absorb a Magic Crystal Stone.

Then he prepared to take some time to visit the library, intending to read some books to boost his attributes and learn a bit about the background of this world.

"Creak!"

The library door swung open, releasing a mixed scent of wood and paper.
