My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!

Compared to the first floor, the second floor was much newer.

Although there were still large parts of the walls that were moldy due to dampness, at least the floors were not as worn out, and there were fewer black handprints on the walls.

As they passed through the corridor, Chen Shen turned his gaze to a separated small room.

He saw many ordinary murlocs resting inside the room.

Unlike humans that needed to lay in bed,these murlocs simply laid straight on the floor.

Upon hearing a visitor, many of the sleeping murlocs woke up and glanced at him curiously and with surprise.

Further down the corridor, there were another four to five rooms in a row that had sleeping murlocs all over the ground.

Soon, familiar desks, office chairs, documents stacked high, and full cabinets entered his sight.

Chen Shen was startled in his heart and could not help but speed up to catch up with the cloaked murloc.

"Don't they have to go back to their quarters to sleep after finishing their work?" he asked.

The cloaked murloc that walked in front was taken aback for a moment and shook his head.

"That'll be a waste of time. Murlocs only have a lifespan of twenty-five years. We don't have the luxury of wasting our time!

"You humans can waste your life on useless enjoyments, but we can't!"

The unexpected answer startled Chen Shen.

He immediately pondered on the sudden information but was unable to discover anything further than that.

As the two set foot on the third floor, the sight of all the murlocs in the room behind gradually disappeared.

Chen Shen still suppressed the various doubts in his heart and continued to observe the building.

On the third floor, the environment changed drastically again.

The fishy smell from before was almost undetectable and it was so fresh that Chen Shen found it hard to believe it was the same building.

The floor began to reveal its original appearance.

They were wooden floors with gradient patterns.

As for the walls, although there was still some mold due to humidity, it did not heavily affect the appearance. Countless shell decorations were hung on the walls.

The rooms were still separated but had a much larger area and plenty of furniture inside.

The murlocs on the third floor no longer slept on the floor and instead had tubs that resembled baby bathtubs on earth.

The tubs were filled with light blue water.

The murlocs simply lay in their tubs and sank their bodies into the water, comfortably sleeping.

Many of the murlocs opened their eyes and cast their gazes over after sensing the cloaked murloc approaching along with Chen Shen.

Unlike the curiosity of the murlocs on the second floor, the eyes of those on the third floor were less curious but more friendly.

Chen Shen felt as if he was surrounded by a group of elderly people in a nursing home and felt at ease as they observed him passing through the halls.

'It's so weird that they're so similar to humans!'

In the wasteland, many foreign races were powerful.

However, their eyes lacked the desire to acquire wisdom and knowledge.

It was different with these murlocs. Chen Shen could not associate them with the foreign races just by looking at their eyes.

He continued to climb the stairs one after another as more and more questions rose in his heart.

The same stairs connected the fourth and fifth floors this time, so Chen Shen did not have the opportunity to observe the rooms on the fourth floor and the state of those living there.

The top floor of the building gradually appeared in Chen Shen's field of vision as the cloaked murloc came to a stop.

There were only three rooms located on the floor.

Two of them had their doors closed and hung on them were incomprehensible symbols seemingly of another language.

The only room lit was at the end of the corridor, which exuded a yellow light.

"That's my office.

"I'm the assistant leader of the Murloc Tribe!

"You can call me Yu Du!"

Arriving at the opened room, the cloaked murloc turned his head, pointed at the closed door on one side, and explained.

Chen Shen could roughly see a murloc sitting inside the other room through the blurry, frosted glass.

Judging by the height of the murloc he saw on the way, an ordinary murloc was extremely petite and was about 160 centimeters tall, while some were just over 160 centimeters tall.

The gun-wielding soldier murlocs seemed physically stronger and were about 170 centimeters tall.

As the assistant leader of the tribe, Yu Du had a much larger physique of about 190 centimeters.

The murloc inside looked the same as an ordinary murloc at a glance.

It was strange that the petite murloc was seated in such an important position.

"Murloc tribes do not have an official leader but instead a priest!

"Our priest will answer our questions and guide our tribe forward!

"We'll reward you with the building and tribe if you complete the priest's request."

Yu Du bent over slightly and pushed open the door, revealing a small gap for Chen Shen to enter.

Chen Shen was full of questions but refrained from asking anything as he pushed open the door and entered the room.

The room he entered was much brighter than the outside.

Everything in front of him was so dazzling that it was difficult to adapt to the room's brightness immediately. He could not see the murloc that sat directly in front of him.

Suddenly, a woman's voice could be heard at the right time.

"Guest, don't worry. We still have a lot of time to communicate and learn more about one another.

"Do take a seat!"

Following the voice, Chen Shen subconsciously raised his right hand to block the source of light and glanced in the direction of the voice.

He instantly took notice of the clean wooden table with a tea set that humans used that was steaming with vapor.

Behind the desk was a straight wooden chair with a large pattern of a begonia carved on it.

On the wooden chair, Chen Shen was extremely startled upon seeing the person seated on it.

"You…are you human?" he exclaimed.

The figure sitting on the wooden chair was completely different from the murlocs outside.

The murloc priest that Yu Du mentioned and the person sitting on the chair showed no characteristics of a foreign race at all.

She had silky cyan-colored hair with a few strands that were gray, falling gracefully on her slim shoulders.

There were no scales on her face, and the only think that was evident was some wrinkles.

Her thick clothes were made of an unknown blue flower.

Her feet under the table were also covered with a pair of blue and black boots.

Her appearance and clothing made it impossible to believe that she was a murloc!

"Human?

"Haha! Well, to a certain extent, I'm half human!"

She pointed toward the chair opposite her and had a very peaceful expression.

Chen Shen's mind had countless thoughts flooding through as the murloc priest stared at him.

"I'm unaware of the cause, but your tribe coincidentally landed in our territory like a meteor!

"You're currently located in Heaven's Origin of the New World in the doomsday wasteland.

"I'm the village chief of the only village under the rule of Heaven's Origin, Chen Shen!"

Having obtained the negotiation opportunity he wanted, Chen Shen chose to take the initiative.

By now, Chen Shen had realized there was a high probability that the Murloc Tribe would not be difficult to communicate with, unlike the other foreign races.

From their architectural style, to their language, and finally to the behavior murlocs displayed, they were almost like a human gathering place apart from their weird appearances!

"Wasteland? New World?"

The murloc priest was taken aback but immediately lit up with joy after hearing the two terms.

"Where's the Deep Sea World?"
