Nikke, something’s seriously wrong with this evacuation point! Chapter 150 150: “Anchor” Driven Down

Charon was staying at the lowest level of the "Other Shore" Base, specifically at the core geothermal power generator. Before parting, Abe had asked him to check whether the generator was operating properly when he arrived at the base. After all, due to repeated relocations and changes in communication frequencies, the original contact lines had long been cut off, and Abe could no longer observe the condition of the base.

After inspection, the generator was in good condition, and the cooling system was operating normally. As long as the underground water and magma veins did not run dry, it could continue running for another hundred years without issue.

This was normal as well. This place had originally been a secret base for developing Sleeping Beauty. If not for the explosion that resulted in Sleeping Beauty's death, it might never have been abandoned. The internal facilities were all top-tier.

After confirming this, he looked at the nine Nikkes behind him, who were watching him expectantly, and said sowhat helplessly: "We don't need so many people here. Get out!"

"Ehhh, Chief is so an! We just haven't seen you in a long ti!" No.07 put her hands on her hips and puffed out her cheeks, unexpectedly looking quite cute.

As for Nikkes… fundantally, they were all face-reconstructed models. During production, engineers would manually correct minor defects from their pre-modification state. Technically there were no issues with the process, and the result was that even mass-produced units had above-average looks, not to ntion the Fairytale-type units, each of whom was unforgettable at first glance.

This was understandable. After all, the Goddess Squad had to appear on television, so appearance could not be neglected. Combined with the natural desire for beauty among won, giving them high-level appearances also helped recruit more volunteers.

"Anyway, the inspection is about done. The conclusion is that as long as no major accidents occur, this place only needs periodic maintenance checks in the future–ten minutes per visit is enough. Also, we can shut down the Rapture-core generator; that thing is risky. Geothermal power alone is enough to support a base three tis larger running at full capacity."

With the main power supply issue resolved, this facility already had all the conditions to function as a main base.

Thus, Charon gathered all the Nikkes into the eting room.

Although the eting room had been cleaned once by Rose's team at the beginning, it had not been used since then and had accumulated a thick layer of dust again.

After a quick cleanup, everyone finally sat down.

Because the matter was important, it could not be handled half-heartedly. Although Charon initiated it, he still believed he needed to inform the long-term residents of the base first–the lee unit.

"Is everyone here?" Charon counted the heads. After confirming everyone was present, he slowly began: "I have a proposal. It is very important and concerns the future developnt of this base. I need you all to vote on it."

"Approved!"

The mont Charon finished speaking, Rose was the first to raise her hand.

"If the captain approves, I approve too!"

"Even if the captain doesn't approve, I still approve!"

"If the captain approves or not, I approve anyway!"

Instantly, the eting room beca as noisy as a marketplace as the lee unit expressed their firm stance.

–"Whatever the Chief says, goes."

"Wait, I haven't even said anything yet! At least listen to what I'm going to say!" Charon laughed helplessly. It was good that they obeyed, but they should at least think a little.

"Chief, you might think we've beco blindly obedient, but that's not the case. Each of us has thought this through carefully." As the representative of the lee unit, Rose spoke with a gentle smile. "Everything you have done for us has, in hindsight, proven to be correct. Even putting aside our personal feelings, your actions have never caused us harm. Therefore, our unit will never question your judgnt."

She even blinked: "Besides, we simply can't let go, can we?"

"Chief, whatever you want to do, please go ahead. We will faithfully carry out your orders. This is not due to NIMPH's underlying logic, but purely our own will."

"Very nice, these girls," Rose's(Sleeping Beauty) voice turned unusually gentle. "Looks like this step of yours was the right one."

"To be honest, I never intended for them to beco my subordinates… but, well."

Although no formal oath of allegiance had ever been made, in reality, they had already beco Charon's private force, largely built on emotional bonds.

"Alright." Charon sighed lightly and smiled at the serious gazes of the lee unit. "Then, next, let soone else explain what we are going to do."

"Wait, what do you an–again?" Rose protested.

"Let us welco–Fairy Tale Type Nikke, First Unit, Sleeping Beauty!" Charon placed the "Shittim Chest" on the table and led the applause.

"Charoooon, I'm going to kill you!!!!"

After a chaotic commotion, the lee unit ca to understand Rose's existence. They were more composed than the second-generation Fairy Tales, as they were familiar with mbers of the Goddess Squad and knew nothing about the First Unit story, so they simply offered a normal welco.

Rose then took over the explanation role and described Charon's plan.

"I see. Understood. What do you need us to do?" Rose(lee) asked.

"Just follow instructions. After all, this is my first ti as well."

Charon conjured a wooden nail from his hand.

[Anchor]

Then he drove it directly into the ground behind him.

In an instant, invisible ripples spread outward. Everyone felt sothing pass through their bodies.

The next second, the wooden nail transford into a one-ter-tall control terminal.

[Na: Anchor (Stage 0)]

[Type: Base Core]

[Rarity: Blue]

[Construction Points: 0/1000]

Effect 1: Within the base range, Reaper parts, rare tals, or specific materials can be decomposed into construction points.

Effect 2: When construction points are full, the base can be manually upgraded to the next stage.

Effect 3: Generates a 500m radius stealth field; non-authorized entities cannot detect the base.

Effect 4: Locked (unlocks at Stage 3).

Base Radius: 500m

Just as Charon was about to inspect the terminal, Rose's(Sleeping Beauty) voice ca again:

"Connect Shittim Chest to it. Hurry, before you activate it."

Charon did not hesitate and complied, plugging in the data cable.

The screen of Shittim Chest lit up, and shortly after, the terminal screen also glowed in sync.

"All done."

"What is this?" Charon asked.

"Permission override. From now on, Shittim Chest will fully take over this system. At the very least, you won't need to manually manage construction anymore."

"That's pretty convenient." Charon nodded. "So what exactly can it do?"

"It converts any material into construction points. When the points are full, it upgrades the base. It can also modify the environnt without disrupting operations, gradually turning this place into a self-sustaining underground fortress… You understand what this will eventually beco once it keeps upgrading, right?"

"Another Ark?" Charon half-joked.

"Though I don't know what the Ark is like… it might really beco that."

"Seriously?"
