Chapter 603: Departure to the Great Mountain! Part 1
Doomsday Calander Month 4 Day 26. It was the sixth day of the heavy snowfall disaster.
Although the disaster was not over, the small canteen in the village had already begun getting busy as early as five in the morning.
This time Su Mo was entering the mountain with hundreds of people for at least half a month.
He would have been able to find an excuse and conceal the mission if the village was still scattered like before.
However, right now, the ordinary villagers and militiamen of the expedition team both lived together in the village.
It would be impossible to lie and keep it from them like in the past!
Chen Shen simply gave up on the idea. After the meeting ended the previous night, he immediately announced it publicly in the village.
With some embellishment, the villagers were informed that Su Mo was leading a team into the mountains because he had received news and was going to rescue some refugees.He omitted the part about trying to find Marshal w.a.n.g and the team they had lost communication with for the past few days.
His announcement also stated that they were looking to bring back a group of people into the territory to expand the village so that they could contribute to the recovery of human society in the New World!
The villagers heard that there were going to be fellow humans being brought into the village in large numbers.
…
Woah!
The villagers’ enthusiasm suddenly rose, completely diluting the worries that had not arisen. Many people who usually slept well at night were restless for half the night.
It was apparent that some had their hopes up about finding a wife if there were more people recruited into the village.
Maybe, they also considered the fact that they could use their advantage as the first batch of villagers to convert the resources in their hands into more valuable things, so they could gain themselves a certain status in the small society in the village and live a better life.
In short, Su Mo looked forward to the trip to the mountain, and the villagers were also very excited about it.
...
The villagers had already gotten up and were preparing for the sendoff party just slightly after the bell rang at six in the morning.
…
“Su Chan, I’m going to be bringing Oreo with me on this trip. Without her watching over you, I don’t feel at ease. You have to be careful and take care these days.
“I’ll leave Moore here to protect you, and if something happens outside, remember not to run around. Just follow Moore, and he will take you to a safe place.
“Also, when I’m not around, you have to eat on time and always wear enough clothes to keep warm, so you don’t catch a cold. You have to learn to take care of yourself when I’m not here.
“When our parents come, I’ll be much more at ease if I had to leave…
“Remember to collect your daily share of psychic energy water and store it. Don’t forget to feed Big Spark and Little Spark some chicken food so they don’t starve! These are the elders in our family!
“There is a hidden compartment beside my bed. You can find a gun I left for you inside. You probably won’t have to use it since Moore is much more powerful than that little gun…”
“…”
Su Mo sat in the large living room on the shelter’s third floor and personally combed his hair into braids. He also did not forget to remind Su Chan repeatedly.
There were much more dangers in traveling thousands of miles into the mountain than in the territory.
Despite Su Mo boasting that he had different means and abilities to survive, he could not promise anyone that he would be able to return to the territory with everyone that went into the mountain with him.
Naturally, it was the best choice to leave Su Chan in the shelter and let her take care of the resources at home.
Moore’s strength had also reached greater heights after a long period of absorbing nutrients from the psychic energy water.
Su Mo had yet to judge how much his strength had grown. Still, one thing for certain was that even if he were to swap into his second body, which was close to an interstellar human and used its peak strength to compete, Moore would still be able to block ten times the force of his attack with great agility that did not match his physical body. He had superhuman strength that would block anything from getting past him with just one hand.
As for defending against Moore’s attack?
Su Mo thought about it and concluded the power of his punch could reach the force of three tons. His large bear fist could smash through even boulders.
He slightly s.h.i.+vered at the thought and his lips formed into a small smile.
“Brother, stop worrying! I’ve already asked Oreo to do the math for me! She said there won’t be any danger for now, and I’ll be very safe!”
“Oh, right! It seems that you won’t be in any great danger too, so stop being so nervous!”
Su Chan, sitting on a chair, smiled as she listened to Su Mo’s nagging.
She would definitely be more anxious and would not trust any clairvoyant that claimed such predictions, but she was relieved since it was Oreo who technically had the magical powers of a “G.o.d.”
“Just treat it as if you were out on a trip. When you’re familiar with the route in the future, I’d also like to go out to see the mountains!”
“Okay! When I’ve conquered the mountains, they’ll have to fear us wherever you go in this world!”
Su Chan did not take the joking promises seriously, and she continued to play along with them and occasionally shared a couple of exciting things in the territory. Oreo, who was lying beside, also let out a few barks.
Su Mo, on the other hand, repeated his words over and over again in his heart.
It was a promise and also his ambition.
Ultimate security was unachievable by hiding in the depths of the earth. Instead, Su Mo thought that as long as an enemy existed, then the danger would come at any time.
They had to be uprooted to settle it once and for all.
He wanted to turn the entire New World and the wasteland into a beautiful garden.
