Chapter 215: I Can Give You Everything You Want!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Magoo’s shelter core was a level five one and, as long as it was integrated into a formed shelter, it could immediately increase the area of the shelter by 50 cubic meters.
Moreover, the mermaid clan’s water ability attached to Magoo’s core could also be transferred to the main shelter through sacrifice.
In addition, it was possible that the shelter’s core held some secrets or even some rare items. He might even discover objects similar to the diary that would reveal the future development trend of the game world!
If such a core could be brought out to the main world, it would naturally be extremely valuable!
However, after seeing all kinds of magical cards, Su Mo had a clear understanding of the value of an epic-level treasure chest.
This unexpected treasure chest was more precious than Magoo’s shelter core, and could increase his combat capabilities immediately!
Thinking along these lines, Su Mo was already certain about his choice of item to bring out!
“Future, present, past…”
“Divulgence of Heaven’s Secret, the main world, the ruins of time…”
While walking back, looking at Zhong Qingshu’s nervous expression in the distance, Su Mo pondered on the connection between the three.
When the game relocated everyone here, it did not clearly state the purpose of the relocation, or even the “main task” that all players would have to complete.
As everything was still clouded in mystery, Su Mo could only use these details to infer the connection between the three.
“For the people in the ruins of time, I am a person from the future.”
“Then, for the creatures that may exist in the Divulgence of Heaven’s Secret, I am a person who traveled from the past into the future.”
“But both the future and the past are derived from the main world. The two places I arrived at after being transported over were both near the Underground Shelter. Could it be that the coordinates of the Underground Shelter act as an anchor point in time and s.p.a.ce?”
Su Mo balled his fist. Although he had not figured out the connection between the three, Su Mo had found the connection between the future and the past.
Whenever he entered an alternate s.p.a.ce or world, he sp.a.w.ned near the Underground Shelter every time!
In the process of teleportation, the shelter acted as an initial anchor point by using its coordinates.
Such a setting provided room for manipulation.
If he could change this anchor point according to his imagination, the next time he entered the ruins of time, he would sp.a.w.n Zhong Qingshu’s shelter instead!
“Or I could use Magoo’s shelter core to build my shelter here in the past!”
“And bring back the epic treasure chest to enhance my strength in the main world!”
As for the secrets that may exist in Magoo’s shelter core, Su Mo would not miss this chance. Since he could not take it back with him, he could simply use it here.
After finalizing his choice, he let go of the remaining distracting thoughts, and his steps became lighter.
Of course, this behavior also relieved Zhong Qingshu, who was still standing in front of the motorcycle in the distance.
In the short span of two days, after being inexplicably transported to the wasteland world, she had experienced both starving and fear.
If Su Mo had not appeared at night, she would have gone to bed hungry and thirsty.
The next day, before she had time to adapt to the rhythm of the wasteland, she followed Su Mo on his hundred-kilometer journey. She partic.i.p.ated in a life and death situation, and enjoyed a grand show of “fireworks”.
Experiencing this kind of stimulation, this surging freedom, how could she calm herself down?
“Problem solved?”
“Problem solved!”
Hearing Su Mo’s affirmative reply, Zhong Qingshu raised her head happily, and let out a long, soothing sigh.
“It’s so dangerous. Does this place have all kinds of monsters?”
Zhong Qingshu quickly absorbed the previous knowledge, and then began to ask questions like an inexperienced toddler.
Smiling, Su Mo got on the motorcycle and turned on the engine. While riding toward the new Candlelight Shelter, he explained things patiently.
If he could re-enter these ruins again next time, the seed of “hope” that was Zhong Qingshu might take root. She might be able to use the resources left behind by Su Mo to build a true “shelter” in the past!
Both of them had a discussion session. Other than the ruins of time and the secrets of the main world, Su Mo explained everything.
“The acid rain is a form of nerve acid, which does not harm structures and the land. As long as it is mixed into flowing water, its toxicity will disappear.”
“The second disaster will be a blizzard with a temperature of minus 20 degrees and a level 12 storm rating!”
“The third disaster is a great flood, with a forty-meter high peak water level!”
In the backseat, while hugging Su Mo’s waist tightly, Zhong Qingshu’s mouth opened into an O shape while she rested her head on Su Mo’s wide back, feeling his powerful heartbeat!
“If there is a flood, then won’t we have to place our shelter on high ground in advance? Won’t our current location be flooded?”
After experiencing Su Mo’s greatness, she naturally believed 100% in Su Mo’s prophecy and was also 100% worried.
Whether it was the terrifying blizzard from Su Mo’s words or the flood with a peak water level of 40m, both these disasters were more than enough to wipe out half of the human race in an instant!
“Don’t worry, we can talk about future disasters at a later point in time. Maybe there will be a solution at that time!”
Zhong Qingshu nodded obediently when she heard Su Mo’s words.
However, she did not know, and she would never know that…
The true meaning of Su Mo’s words was that when he entered the ruins of time next time, he might be able to find a real solution to these terrible disasters.
The cross-country motorcycle sped along the wasteland.
After pa.s.sing many familiar points in Zhong Qingshu’s mind, the two lonely wooden houses appeared at the end of the horizon.
Despite only having stayed there for one day, Zhong Qingshu still felt the joy of returning home from the bottom of her heart when she saw the two wooden houses surrounded by fences.
“Hehe, what do you want this place to be like? Do you want it to be surrounded by the sea?”
Looking at the endless plains, Su Mo stopped the motorcycle and parked it on the hillside. He looked at the beautiful scenery below.
No acid rain, no blizzard.
The plains were full of gra.s.s that was as tall as half a person, and the land was also a healthy color of black and yellow. Looking at it, there was hope to be found everywhere.
“It’s pretty good here. If it’s possible, it’d be great if there’s a small river behind our house, and a hill overlooking it not far away”
“Of course, considering the possibility of a major flood, it would be better if there is a big mountain tens of kilometers away. When the flood comes, we will move up there, and when the flood subsides, we will return here!”
Sitting in the backseat, Zhong Qingshu, who had not fully experienced the terrors of the wasteland, was like an innocent little girl. While waving her hands, she happily fantasized about how to build her shelter.
“Oh right, we have to plant a lot of trees; apple trees, peach trees, and even build some grape racks to cultivate grapes. I will take care of them myself!”
“We will open up ten acres of land by the small river, and plant food and various vegetables at that time!”
“If it’s possible, I would also like to have a dog, two chickens, a kitten, a cow, and two sheep!”
It was said that men and women think differently.
When building a shelter, men think about how deep their shelter should be, how much concrete should be used to reinforce the walls, how perfect the structure and design should be, and even where to deploy defenses and where to place dozens of machine guns to prevent the incursion of enemies.
Even if they obtained an ordinary object, they would think about how to add it to the shelter’s defensive a.r.s.enal to improve its safety!
Women were very different. In their eyes, the shelter should be a paradise, a big private manor!
In the manor, there would be two or three small attics, with creeks, mountains, fruit trees, and farmland in the surroundings.
When a disaster struck, everyone would flee and survive the catastrophe together.
If there was no disaster, they would live a simple and beautiful life, taking the wasteland as their second home.
“That’s it? Is that all you want?”
After getting acquainted, and feeling that Su Mo was completely harmless and protective, Zhong Qingshu also lowered her guard. She boldly imagined her future life with a stranger who she had only known for one day.
Hearing Su Mo’s words and feeling Su Mo’s radiant self-confidence, Zhong Qingshu narrowed her lips.
“That’s not a lot? Can you move two mountains over? Or can you open a river for us?”
“We don’t even have a fixed source of water right now. If we want to drink water, we have to kill… Yes, kill those foreign races, and look for water in the treasure chests they drop!”
After being transported over, due to the exhaustion of the day’s activities, up until four o’clock in the afternoon the next day, when the sun was the hottest, most people who had not yet found water were already on the verge of death.
According to Su Mo’s memory, on this night alone, there were at least 10 million humans who died due to the lack of water.
Seeing that Su Mo was not speaking and quietly thinking, Zhong Qingshu suddenly realized that she might have said something wrong. She quickly opened the World Chat channel and pointed it out to Su Mo.
“Look, most people’s lives are much worse off than ours. There are so many people asking for water.”
“With less than one hundred milliliters of water, we can buy so many materials, which can be used to completely strengthen our shelter’s defense.”
“And we can still go…”
Seeing that Su Mo was still being silent, Zhong Qingshu was slightly anxious. While comparing their situation with others, she also made suggestions.
However, sitting in the front seat, Su Mo pulled over and got off the motorcycle. Looking at the terrain in the distance, he “roughly” interrupted Zhong Qingshu’s comforting words!
“No! We have water, and we also have mountains. I can give you everything you want!”
After finis.h.i.+ng speaking, looking at the doubt apparent on Zhong Qingshu’s face, Su Mo summoned the storage s.p.a.ce, and a gray-white card floated out.
The next moment, starlight burst out from the card.
Faced with such an instantaneous burst of power, even the sun in the sky had to hide from its power!
Between heaven and earth, light was lost, and the sky suddenly darkened. Like a total solar eclipse, the entire wasteland was plunged into darkness.
At this moment, the humans who were fighting monsters, and the humans who were hiding, waiting for the monsters to reveal their flaws, were all surprised to find that the originally ferocious animals suddenly stopped moving as the sky darkened. They lowered their bodies to the ground, not daring to move.
Puff!
In a deep pit somewhere in the wasteland, a cheetah that had been entangled for a long time suddenly fell on the ground and stabbed itself to death on a spear. The man below raised his head curiously and saw the most unforgettable supernatural scene in his lifetime.
An illusory image of a huge dog head gathered in the air and occupied two-thirds of the sky. The sky full of stars was used as the background, flas.h.i.+ng, as expressions of panic were reflected on every human’s face.
“The abyss is a candle, and we are the flames. Only by jumping down can we light this dark abyss and reach the other sh.o.r.e of salvation!”
More and more power gathered around his body. Zhong Qingshu’s mysterious words from before echoed in Su Mo’s mind.
“Candlelight, candlelight. I am the flame. A single spark can ignite the fire of hope for humankind!”
“Let’s call this place Hope Plains from now on!”
Boom!
Boom!
Just after his voice ended, a louder rumbling sound than before suddenly exploded across the wasteland.
The transformation process….began!
