The vast wasteland world.


Not only unknown underground ruins but also the nearby landscape was all a blank to Su Mo.


“Bring a bottle of mineral water, a bottle of psychic energy water, fifty crossbow arrows, a Japanese Oak Spear, bring… Erm… the mace too.”


“Bring some materials in case I need them.”


Su Mo stuffed it with items, piece by piece.


Going out to explore was not a child’s game. You had to be fully geared up to treat Doomsday with the highest level of respect.


Having gathered everything, Su Mo opened the shelter’s main door.


It happened to be noon.


The sun descended to the world like a god, shining bright.


However, the time was too short, and the rain on the ground had not evaporated. There were potholes and water everywhere.


“I wonder if the mutant beasts have survived in this environment.”


Su Mo’s expression changed.


His mind began to recall the black dog he had met in the ruins of Liangfang Town.


If the mutants in the wasteland were to turn out that way, it was probably nothing less than the coming extreme cold disaster for mankind.


It was either that the mutant beasts would die like humans when they come in contact with the rain.


Or…


Su Mo hoped it was the former.


After checking out his surroundings to make sure nothing was wrong, Su Mo returned to the shelter, grabbed plant fibers, and began weaving a raincoat for Oreo.


There was a lot of water on the ground. It was lethal upon contact with flesh.


He had to rely on Oreo’s detection and warning ability on outdoor explorations.


It did not take long. After putting it in the wardrobe and spending 10 survival points to make the same thing, a brand-new raincoat for dogs left the factory was ready.


Oreo, who had been stuck in the shelter for two days, jumped up and down with joy when it saw its new clothes.


After putting on its raincoat, it ran out of the shelter and began sniffing around.


Seeing that, Su Mo closed the shelter main door. After making sure he had everything, he turned around to go back to the second passage and climbed up it.


The shelter main door’s current design was still stupid. It could only be closed and open on the inside, not on the outside.


It was a good thing there was a second passageway. Otherwise, he was finished if someone robbed his house when he was out on a long trip.


Climbing out of the shelter’s second passage and opening a stone door covered with a layer of soil, Su Mo reached the back of the hill.


The acid rain lake sparkled in the scorching sun.


After taking a second look at the place where he buried the men last night and making sure there was nothing unusual with it, Su Mo closed the small door, covered it with soil, and went back to the front door.


The underground ruins were three and a half kilometers from the shelter as the crow flies.


They would get there in half an hour if they did not take detours.


“Let’s hurry and explore in broad daylight. We have to get back before the sun goes down.”


Su Mo trotted forward.


Although there were potholes on the ground, he was quite familiar with the nearby terrain, so it was easy to walk on.


Oreo, who had been 200m away from Su Mo, was in charge of patrol and detecting mutants.


“Woof woof woof!”


After more than 700 meters of walking, Oreo, who had been calm until then, suddenly barked, making Su Mo tense.


“Are there monsters?”


“Woof!”


After getting an affirmative answer from Oreo, Su Mo did not hesitate to activate the first Monster Illustration Handbook scan today.


[One-horned sand wolves *6 were detected 331m away from the player … Danger factor 48. Please be cautious]


[Today’s count 2/3]


Su Mo was stunned.


“One-horned sand wolves, and even six of them?”


Opening the Monster Illustration Handbook, Su Mo did a quick scan and immediately understood the animals’ nature.


The most common mutant beasts’ food sold in the trading market were sand wolves. As animals who live in packs, they were not very effective in fighting.


A normal adult male with one weapon could easily beat two sand wolves.


Sand wolves’ rate of return was extremely high. Not only would you get meat, but also sand wolf skin and sand wolf blood. You might even get treasure chests.


Licking his lips, Su Mo calmed himself down and had an idea. He took out his crossbow from his storage bag.


The energetic Oreo immediately showed its professional fighting qualities after running into enemies.


Keeping its head low, sniffing the scent, and moving its ears to listen from time to time. The man and the dog did not move very fast.


Before long, Su Mo, who had minimized the sound of his footsteps, saw the sand wolves lying under a big rock a hundred meters away, trying to hide from the natural disaster.


“Whew… It turns out that these animals also have a natural tendency to seek good and avoid harm.”


With the help of his good eyesight, Su Mo saw four sand wolves lying on the ground resting.


The other two sand wolves were looking around warily.


Seeing Su Mo in the distance, the sand wolves froze for a moment and began to howl in panic.


Swoosh!


The crossbow arrow went through its throat and took the life of the sand wolf that was howling!


Quickly winding the crossbow, Su Mo observed the remaining five sand wolves.


After being attacked, the sand wolves all got up and growled in Su Mo’s direction.


They tried to be as threatening as possible, bluffing by having so many companions around.


Unfortunately, the sand wolves were aware of the power of acid rain. The water spots on the ground made them afraid of taking the initiative to attack and could only rage helplessly where they stood.


“What a good opportunity.”


After he was done winding the crossbow, he took aim, and the crossbow arrow was fired once again, taking away another sand wolf’s life.


The four remaining sand wolves began to howl in dismay. One of them even tried to escape, but when his foot touched the damp ground, he retracted his foot as if it had just touched fire.


Su Mo raised his brow when he saw what the sand wolf did.


“I had full view the first time I used the crossbow. The second time, the enemy couldn’t move at all. I’m so lucky.”


H did not know if he should call the sand wolves smart or stupid.


They had no idea why a distant figure could shoot one arrow after another. With Oreo threatening them at the side, the sand wolves could do nothing but stand there like sitting ducks.


“Die!”


With no effort at all, Su Mo harvested a pack of sand wolves by using only six crossbow arrows.


In the distance, six sand wolves gave him two treasure chests. One of wood and one of iron.


Even without going into the underground ruin, he had gained something from the trip.


He went closer and retrieved all the crossbow arrows stuck on the sand wolves. Then he loaded all the sand wolves into the storage space.


Wagging its head, Oreo came to Su Mo’s feet, showing off its exploits.


Su Mo touched Oreo’s head and laughed. “The meat is all yours after I have taken care of them when we get back. Don’t worry. I won’t fight you for them!”


“Woof woof woof!”


Oreo was so excited that it rubbed its head against Su Mo’s palm.


[Record]: You opened the wooden treasure chest.


[Record]: You have gained Fanta soda *1.


[Record]: You have gained Master Kong Old Altar Pickled Beef Noodle*1.


As the wooden chest’s light faded, a bottle of soda and a cup of instant noodles were left behind.


“Slurp…”


At the sight of the instant noodles on the ground, Su Mo instantly felt the saliva running in his mouth, and his taste buds burst as if he had absorbed instant noodles’ rich soup.


With reluctant eyes, he put the two items into the storage space. Su Mo looked forward to the iron treasure chest.


[Record]: You opened the iron treasure chest.


[Record]: You have gained workbench blueprint *1.


[Record]: You have gained a simple clamp *1


[Record]: You have gained a beaker *1.


A series of resources popped up with the prompts.


A blue blueprint, a forearm-length iron clamp, and a beaker made of glass appeared on the ground.


“The workbench blueprint has no use for now, but I’ll study it first.”


After picking up the blueprint and crumpling it up to study it, Su Mo grabbed two more items and threw them into the storage space.


“What a pity. I should have built the ranged weapon sooner if I had known.”


“But I’m lucky today. It would’ve been a headache if these six sand wolves were fast-moving.”


Su Mo sighed as he straightened up and set off again.


The confrontation between one man, one dog, and six wolves, including reaping the spoils, took only about ten minutes. With favorable conditions, Su Mo was confident about their journey ahead.


After reembarking on the journey, he compared the map all the way. This time, Su Mo walked two kilometers without finding any sign of mutant beasts.


“Maybe Huang Biao got rid of all the mutant beasts they could handle when they came over. This pack of sand canines was also unlucky. They probably came to this place to take shelter from the rain and were caught alive by me.”


Su Mo, who had been tense all the way, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.


In the distance, he could already see the terrain symbol marked on the map.
