Ye Shen's doubts were not without reason, but Qin Feng had already considered this possibility. So he pointed to the cave being excavated and said, "This fortress has reinforcement devices that can withstand earthquakes above level 8, and it also has a temperature control device that can withstand extreme cold and heat for 24 hours. If it's not a monster attack but a natural disaster, we can at least hold on for 24 hours."
Hearing this, Ye Shen asked curiously, "How did you do it? Both earthquake-proof and cold/heat resistant. Such engineering should be very complex. Have you done engineering before?"
Qin Feng shook his head, then pointed to his brain and said, "There are many materials in the store, as well as many construction blueprints. I just need to buy the corresponding materials according to the blueprints and then hand them over to these subordinates to do it."
Ye Shen exclaimed, "That's amazing! You're such a thoughtful and good man. That's great, then we don't have to be afraid!"
Just as Ye Shen was happy, Qin Feng suddenly felt a little tired, and his head ached. He thought he might have caught a cold and it was nothing serious, so he continued to command his subordinates to excavate the fortress. As time passed, the headache worsened, and he could no longer establish a mental connection with his 100 subordinates.
Thus, all the Red Alert soldiers stopped, and Qin Feng slumped to the ground, covered in sweat.
Ye Shen sensed something was wrong. She rushed to Qin Feng's side and asked, "What's wrong? Oh my god! Why are you covered in sweat? Have you been poisoned? Oh no, it must be that Cheng Yezi has a third means of attack. Don't you die, what will I do if you die? I don't know what poison he used, and I don't know which antidote to buy to save you!"
"What a pity, sob sob sob... He was clearly a thoughtful good man, and now he's dead like this. Heaven is truly jealous of talent! I am indeed a woman with a thin fate, and I will die here too, sob sob sob sob sob..."
Qin Feng was in unbearable pain and could not answer Ye Shen's words. He knew he was not poisoned, and Cheng Yezi could not have a third means of attack. If he had a third means of attack, there would be no need to kill everyone watching their fight; he only needed to poison Yuri.
Moreover, the two of them had never interacted. If an airborne poison was used, then he wouldn't need to slaughter everyone.
The reason for his condition was likely overwork. That is to say, establishing a mental connection with over 100 units was equivalent to him transforming into 100 people. The mental burden was too great, and he could not control so many people for a long time, which led to this sequela.
Thinking of this, Qin Feng opened his attribute panel.
Name: Qin Feng
Level: 37 (37/9999)
Reputation: 1
Strength: 35
Agility: 38
Constitution: 20
Mental Power: 1
Talent: SSS-level "Red Alert Domain"
Skills: None
Combat Power: 1
Items: T-Virus Antiserum, Zombie Heart, Flame Demon Core, Giant Wolf's Tooth, Foundation Building Pill
Gold: 1000
Upon seeing that his mental power attribute was only 1, he finally understood the role of mental power.
Originally, he thought that the most important attributes in the attribute panel were strength, agility, and constitution, but now it seemed that was not the case. Mental power was equally crucial, especially in his situation of multitasking, which required even stricter mental power.
Because he was controlling too many subordinates simultaneously, his mental power was depleted. To restore his mental power to its initial state, he would need a long period of rest, but he didn't have time because the unknown disaster was imminent, and he had to speed up the excavation of the fortress.
Therefore, there was only one way: to buy drugs that increased mental power to help him get through this period!
So, he searched for such drugs in the store.
He searched for a long time but did not find any drugs that directly increased mental power. However, he did find drugs that restored mental power, which were very expensive, costing 2000 gold, called Compound Vitality Pills.
One Compound Vitality Pill could restore 50% of mental power, and 2000 gold could buy a box, with 10 pills in a box.
Qin Feng did not have enough money at the moment, so he immersed his consciousness in the Red Alert domain and sold the newly created Tanya for money. After accumulating 2000 gold, he decisively bought the Compound Vitality Pills.
With a flash of white light, a box of medicine appeared in his hand. Qin Feng decisively threw a pill into his mouth and swallowed it.
A trace of coolness traveled through his body, and his headache quickly disappeared. It was magical. He opened his attribute panel again.
Name: Qin Feng

Constitution: 20
Mental Power: 25

Seeing that his mental power had reached half of its previous level, he was very satisfied.
Then, he stood up and continued to control the more than 100 Red Alert soldiers to excavate the fortress.
Ye Shen, who was still crying beside him, was startled to see Qin Feng return to normal.
"You... what's wrong with you? You were deliberately scaring me just now, weren't you? You are so detestable, making such a joke at a time like this. You are truly hateful, making me grieve for so long for nothing."
After saying this, she saw the medicine box in Qin Feng's hand and realized that he might not have lied to her.
She asked curiously, "What happened just now? Why did you suddenly collapse on the ground covered in sweat? What disease does the medicine in your hand treat? Did you not get poisoned, but your old illness relapsed? Do you have any congenital diseases? As a teammate, you should tell me, otherwise, I won't know how to save you when you fall ill next time!"
Qin Feng did not intend to hide anything. He truthfully said, "Does your attribute panel have an item called mental power? When mental power is depleted, you will experience what I just did!"
Hearing this, Ye Shen asked in surprise, "What? Mental power depleted? How can that happen? I thought that useless number was just a decoration because it didn't seem to have any use. It doesn't provide direct improvements like strength, speed, and constitution. I thought only mages would use this thing, could it be..."
Qin Feng nodded and said, "You guessed correctly. Controlling these subordinates consumes a lot of mental power. When mental power is depleted, such symptoms will occur. You don't have to worry, there is a drug in the store to restore mental power called Compound Vitality Pills. Although it is expensive, it can alleviate these symptoms, and there is no danger to life."
Ye Shen nodded and said, "Oh!"
Then she immersed herself in the store, looking for this Compound Vitality Pill. When she saw the price, she jumped again.
"Oh my god! It costs 2000. Even if you sold me, I wouldn't have that much money!"
After saying this, she glanced at Qin Feng and then said cautiously, "You have a lot of money, right? So, if you feel your mental power is insufficient, you should buy it in advance. If that symptom occurs again, it would be too dangerous. You know, since we are teamed up, I earn very little money. If I had to spend 2000 gold to buy such medicine, I could do it once, but twice and I would be completely out of money! I wouldn't be able to eat delicious food or buy things I like!"
After saying this, she slapped her forehead and said, "Right! If I buy medicine for you, you will return the money to me when you wake up, won't you?"
Qin Feng was somewhat speechless. He didn't want to talk to this stingy and petty teammate. Now he had to hurry up and excavate his fortress because he had a premonition that the disaster was imminent.
