Staying Home in the Apocalypse: I Upgraded My Repair Shop Into a Fortress

On the first night of the gray rain, the appliances across the entire city began repeating the same recording.

Lin Zhou listened to the cries for help outside his door three times and realized even the gasps were identical.

He turned off the doorbell and wheeled over his workbench.

[Repairable fault detected: front door.]

[Available upgrades after repair: soundproofing, impact resistance.]

There are no unlimited supplies, and he can't create things out of thin air. All he has are discarded parts in his repair shop and a strange System that tells him “what's about to break.”

A door, a water purifier, a little scavenger's cart.

While others are still fighting over the last crate of canned food, his home is already lit by warm lamps.

When someone tries to lure a monster to his door, Lin Zhou opens his repair price list.

“Door repair: materials required.”

“Electrical repair: labor charge.”

“And as for using my home as bait...”

He flips a switch, and the silent signal tower on the street corner suddenly turns toward them.

On the seventh day of the apocalypse, the first repair shop opens its doors.

On the thirtieth day of the apocalypse, someone comes looking for him with a map of the city.

“Boss Lin, how about fixing up an entire city?”
