Chapter 604: Departure to the Great Mountain! Part 2
“Okay! Go and check the preparations!”
Su Mo tied the last rubber band as his mind ran wild with thoughts of the future. The two beautiful braids finally took shape.
“Pfft! That’s actually really good~
“Brother, your technique is better now! My future sister-in-law will be extremely blessed to have you as her husband!”
The comprehensively upgraded physical fitness was not only useful in battle but also made Su Mo almost omnipotent in daily life.
The more skillful you were in controlling the subtleties of your body, the less likely you were to make mistakes with your hands.
Su Chan glanced at the reflection in the mirror and was satisfied.
She would have definitely started taking selfies on the spot and uploaded them on her social media to show off if it were not because of the lack of internet and smartphones.
“Let’s go! The drums already sounded outside!
“I’ll be leaving after this meal!”
…
Su Mo walked toward the two-meter-high mirror and adjusted the combat clothing he wore.
He had sword-like eyebrows and a fierce expression.
Su Mo stood tall.
An invisible aura radiated from his body, making him seem like a completely different person from when he first transmigrated.
“Ordinary people excluded, even elites in the past probably never lived a more colorful life than me these days.”
...
Su Mo glanced at his reflection in the mirror.
Su Mo was filled with emotion as he compared himself to his cautious self from his memory.
The change in mentality brought a lot of external changes to him.
In the past, he would have never taken the risk to personally lead the team into the mountains, which were filled with a mysterious enemy hidden.
Now, he was excited and could not wait to head into the mountains to show off his skills.
After sorting himself out, he took the food and headed out the shelter door with Su Chan, Oreo, and Moore, their heads held high.
The disaster was not over yet, and the morning sun was still hidden behind the faint dark clouds, exuding a faint light.
A cool breeze blew slowly from the ground.
The snowflakes that had not frozen caressed blew toward them from a distance.
At the same time, it brought the fragrance of food that made them want to give a thumbs up.
“There’s a lot of food! Everyone sure is blessed today!”
They had a small feast every three days and one huge feast every seven days.
This was the doomsday wasteland that was full of death and desolation.
However, there were seeds of hope that were being planted and waiting for sprint to be harvested.
With ample resources and channels for continuous harvest, Su Mo not only felt bad about the waste, but he was also extremely pleased to see such festive scenes.
Half-past seven in the morning.
The farewell party was held on time, and 1,329 people attended the village feast except for those who were on duty.
There were 83 tables that were filled with 16 people each.
The huge crowd of people could be seen up until outside the canteen.
Throughout the whole meal, Su Mo continued to eat like normal. He did not stand up to speak or hold a meeting to inspire and motivate the people. Instead, he smiled as he sat at the table and listened to the interesting stories being shared by the leaders.h.i.+p around the table.
During the meal, the villagers who cast their gazes toward them occasionally felt at ease.
Through Su Mo’s att.i.tude, they saw his confidence that came from his “strength.”
It was exactly the same as in the two previous disaster resistance live broadcasts!
“Okay, I’m done. This stir-fried fish is really good. Help me pack some so I can eat on the way!
“You guys don’t have to send me off. It’s not like I’m not coming back!”
After finis.h.i.+ng the meal, he pointed to the stir-fried fish on the table that had not been touched and smiled.
Outside the canteen door, the expedition team had already quickly finished their meals, packed their equipment, and waited for Su Mo’s order to depart.
This was the convenience of having a game storage s.p.a.ce.
The team of 100 did not need supporting logistics personnel and was lightly loaded because they had sufficient disaster points.
Among the 100 people, 30 people were responsible for carrying food and resources. Most of the food packed was instant food prepared overnight by the canteen after the announcement about Su Mo entering the mountains.
Among them were hand-compressed biscuits, brown bread, dehydrated vegetables, and other convenient foods.
There were also some frozen dumplings, handmade noodles, a large jar of pickles, sealed toppings, and so on, which were considered enjoyable portable food.
They had sufficient food prepared.
Even if the team of 100 people was trapped in the mountains for two or three months,they would still be able to ensure that everyone had sufficient calories every day.
In addition to these 30 people, among the remaining 70 people, 40 people were responsible for carrying equipment, and 30 people carried weapons.
There were guns, ammunition, explosive packs, and other weapons used for combat, as well as tents, ropes, gas masks, bunker sandbags, spare clothing, shoes, gloves, sled boards, and other high-consumption materials.
They were supposed to be traveling thousands of miles into the mounts, but in fact, the equipment they carried was enough to arm a thousand-people army!
“Su Mo, you have to be careful while traveling. We don’t know the ident.i.ties of the people in the mountains. We can’t determine whether they were acquaintances or the people that Jianfeng had mentioned before.
“You have to be extremely cautious and don’t be careless. You must beware and be prepared for their unpredictable attacks at any time.”
Following everyone, Li Kuan chased Su Mo all the way to the canteen entrance and repeatedly advised him to be careful in a worried manner.
The remnants of the expeditionary base had ruthless methods and would not hesitate to commit evil deeds that went against the bottom line of human beings to achieve their goals.
The Blazelanders sought strength and treated human life lightly. They would eradicate humanity in the New World with taboo methods if they had to.
There were also other humans from different universes that might appear.
“Don’t worry. I understand all of this.
“I won’t be soft-hearted if they plan to be inhuman. Let’s see who’ll be afraid if they wanted to come at us head-on!”
Su Mo turned around to comfort Lu Kuan. He raised his hand and began to straighten out the latter’s messy collar.
“When I’m not around, the advancement of technology better not slow down!
“These are the foundation for us to survive in the wasteland; without them, our current development would be nothing!
“Okay! Take care!” Lu Kuan promised and sent him off.
Everything that needed to be arranged was settled.
Everything else that needed to be reminded was repeated.
Su Mo had no intention of staying any longer after he confirmed that everything had been arranged well.
