Global Awakening: Apocalypse Ender's Chronicle - Chapter 998

Capítulo 998: The New Outpost

Soon, Shane got the notifications about the Talents he just acquired.

[ Spirit Eye Talent (Epic): The Survivor’s vision exceeds the ordinary, allowing them to perceive hidden flows of energy and detect concealed actions. With Spirit Eye, the Survivor can see through illusions, stealth techniques, and even sense the activation of items or Spirit Point expenditure within a 30-meter radius.

Passive Bonus: Grants +20% perception and detection accuracy. Reveals hidden traps, cloaked enemies, and disguised items. ]

“Now… This is good.” Shane muttered as he realized that he could see Spirit Points expenditure of a nearby Survivor. It means that no matter how stealthy their abilities were, he could detect them beforehand.

Partnered with Phantom Instinct Talent, his Death Glimpse Skill, and other perception-based abilities, he’d be untouchable.

Then, Shane checked the other Talent.

[ Zapper Talent (Epic): The Survivor becomes a living source of electricity, channeling raw lightning through their body and weapons. Every strike could carry a surge of electrical energy, shocking enemies and disrupting their movements.

Active Skill: Zap On – Physical attacks have a 15% chance to inflict Shock, reducing enemy movement speed by 20% for 5 seconds.

Active Skill: Arc Discharge – Releases a concentrated burst of electricity in a cone up to 10 meters, dealing moderate lightning damage and stunning enemies for 2 seconds. Costs 50 Spirit Points. (Cooldown: 3 minutes) ]

“Mhmm… The Zap On skill is an Active Skill, but it doesn’t cost Spirit Points upon activation.” Shane muttered as he realized that it seemed to be just there to ensure that he wouldn’t zap anyone unintentionally.

After all, it would indeed be terrifying if he were just tapping something and it would inflict a shock without his permission.

As for the Athletic Body and Iron Will Talents, he decided not to bother with them even if he had two Expansion Scrolls.

Instead, he turned his attention to the items and news skills that he had just received from Hendryx…

“They’re awesome… As expected of someone with more than eight thousand Reputation Points.”

[ Thunder Palm Lv6: Releases a surge of electricity that stuns and damages enemies in a 10-meter radius…

[ Lightning Surge Lv5: Channels raw electricity through the body, releasing a concentrated blast forward…

[ Stormbreaker Lv7: Summons a concentrated lightning storm within a 20-meter radius, dealing continuous damage…

[ Fast Regeneration Lv4: Gradually restores health over time, accelerating wound closure and recovery. Restores 2% of maximum HP every 10 seconds for 30 seconds…

Shane liked these skills since he could actually fish really well if he had these abilities. Furthermore, as he checked their cost per usage, they were actually very cheap.

Although using a net was still the best way to ensure that the young ones wouldn’t get hit, it shouldn’t be a huge problem if he only does this a few times.

Anyway, he also liked how Hendryx had been well-equipped. It was no wonder that Lancelot sent this guy here to lead an outpost of their Clan.

[ Concealment Ring (Epic): A rare ring that reduces the chance of being detected by skills and grants +15% stealth effectiveness…

[ Stormguard Chestplate (Epic): An armor that provides +25% Lightning Resistance, +15% Physical Defense, and reduces Spirit Point cost of lightning skills by 10%…

[ Lightning Rod (Epic): A weapon that channels electricity, increasing lightning skill damage by 20% and adding shock damage to basic attacks…

[ Ring of Current (Master): A unique accessory that boosts Spirit Point regeneration by 12% and has a passive chance to paralyze attackers for 1 second…

[ Lightning‑Charged Boots (Master): Boots infused with electricity, granting +20% movement speed and a 10% chance to release a shockwave when sprinting…

“Cool items…”

Still, none of it had saved Hendryx, and they were now all owned by Shane.

Shane stored the items in his inventory…

He looked around at the ruined outpost… They were actually using a Beginner Shelter Core as he swiftly sensed it hidden in the tower at the very center.

They tried to protect this place, but now, nothing stood in Shane’s way.

He approached the building and swiftly found the core… He just grabbed it with his hands and crushed it.

Boom!

The shelter core cracked and exploded into pieces. Energy flared wildly, but it was nothing for Shane…

Just like that, a wave of destruction rippled outward. The walls collapsed, traps dissolved, and the outpost’s faint barrier that wards off Zombies had finally vanished.

Of course, with the nearby Fishing Zone and the stocks of fish about to be transported to the Overlord Clan, Shane decided to take this outpost himself and plant his own Beginner Shelter Crystal.

[ Beginner Shelter Crystal: A crystal imbued with the essence of the Shelter. It had the power to claim a small piece of land for its user. Once activated, the crystal will slowly repel zombies and undead creatures from the designated area until it reaches full energy capacity.

It will also help with Production Speed, Culture Points, Building Durability, and Defense. Once the crystal’s energy is filled, lower-tier Zombies will be less likely to attack your Shelter, and you can activate the special effect of the crystal to protect your land if it has.

Current Energy: 30%

Shelter Crystal Effect: Unavailable ]

[ Do you wish to spend 500 Spirit Points to claim this piece of land? ]

“Yes…” Shane replied. He planned to at least put a few Warden Units to protect this place if they weren’t fishing in this area…

After all, he was still unsure if anyone would want to be stationed here.

“A few turrets would probably be a good idea…” Shane muttered since he knew that a Beginner Shelter Crystal wouldn’t provide free walls, barrier, or defensive structures.

It would only repel Zombies away from the designated area, give a little boost, and create a small room for the core…

Just like that, he got the notification.

[ Spirit Points deducted: 500 ]

[ Beginner Shelter has been established. ]

[ Shelter Crystal has successfully established the first building for the Shelter Core. ]

[ Shelter Effects: +15% Building Durability, +10% Production Speed within the territory. ]

[ Shelter Defense: Zombies and undead creatures of Tier 1 and below will be repelled within a 100-meter radius. ]

[ Energy Charge: 30% ]

[ Estimated time to full charge: 48 hours.]

[ Warning: The Shelter Crystal must be placed inside the territory to maintain its effect.]
