Huang Biao's core clearly had more items compared to the other three.

It almost filled up the ten square-meter expansion.

When Su Mo looked at it, he saw three large bags of biscuits that were around five or six kilograms.

The biscuits were very similar to the biscuits sold in supermarkets. After eating a piece, Su Mo nodded in satisfaction. The taste of the biscuit was similar to normal packed biscuits.

There was a refrigeration function in the storage space. When things were placed inside, it was equivalent to the Schrödinger cat's state, where it only appeared when Su Mo was observing it.

He closed up the bags of biscuits and put them together.

Su Mo saw two big buckets in the corner as well.

After walking toward it to take a closer look, Su Mo was overjoyed.

Everything came in a set. When Huang Biao found the generator, it must have come with the two buckets of 200L diesel fuel as well.

"I thought I was going to make my own biodiesel, but I didn't expect that I'd be so lucky!"

Homemade biodiesel would easily damage the insides of the generator, but if he used the system, he would just need to spend some survival points to repair it.

Even so, if he could get diesel fuel during the earlier, more difficult stages now, he would surely be able to trade diesel fuel in the future!

After spending two hours sorting out the items, he took the unusable items outside and dug a pit. After he buried them, Su Mo opened up the chat channel and randomly looked for a dead person's grey profile picture and started writing out a message record:

"One generator, two hundred liters of diesel fuel.

"6kg of biscuits, 2kg of bread, 2.5L of unopened purified water, 800g of beef jerky, 7 cartons of milk, 3 corn sausages, 1 container of old yogurt, 2 bottles of Pepsi, two packs of Lay's potato chips.

"One opened bag of salt (confirmed to be non-toxic), one small bag of unopened chili oil.

"One rechargeable flashlight (fully charged), one extremely bulky mace, one pair of unworn sneakers (size 43).

"15 units of wood, 19 units of plant fiber, 30 units of stone, 3 units of iron blocks, 1 unit of copper blocks.

"And a map that seems to be for the nearby terrain (important)."

After listing down all his items in one breath, Su Mo just looked at the numbers on the game panel and felt extremely satisfied and happy.

Of course, at a time like that, Su Mo did not hesitate to share his happiness. He took out two corn sausages from his supply pile and took them apart. He took one big bite and threw the other sausage to the side for the drooling husky, Oreo.

"Good doggie. Now that I have you, I hope you can double what I earn in the future!"

Oreo, who was on the side, eating with its mouth full of drool, howled cheerfully.

He had a taste of what it would be like and was going to work hard. Su Mo was in a good mood and called out the game panel to see if he could upgrade his shelter!

After the four damaged safe house cores were absorbed, the upgrade system was triggered.

Before this, there were no levels for the shelter displayed, but currently, an extra level tab was displayed at that moment.

[Personal Shelter]

Level: lv1

Description: Shelter made of stone. Very strong with good security. Possesses a unique effect in isolating moisture and retaining heat.

Space: 140㎡ (4.2m high) 

Level of Integrity: 100%

Facilities: Iron stove, bed, large scale vegetable culture medium, psychic energy well water extractor, dining table…

Currently available permissions: Reconstruct the shelter layout and automatically generate partition walls (One-time use, so please adjust carefully)

"I can't believe I can create a partition wall! Now this is a shelter, that's the life I'm talking about!"

As Su Mo looked at the notification prompts on the game panel his eyes sparkled.

The empty shelter was still a big flat floor. The dark corners that no light shone on would be the first things anyone saw when they walked in.

It was fine during the day, but when night time came, it made his blood freeze.

If a person never ate supper, he would never get fat and a horse would never get fat without extra feed.

Just by slaughtering a group of scoundrels, he gained that much. Su Mo could not help but even wanted to start a livestream to attract another wave of hatred so that more gangsters would be attracted to come over to him and deliver his supplies.

"I can only build this level once, so I'll have to plan this carefully."

Su Mo looked at the plan on the panel.

When he thought about it, a box popped up on the interface.

The 3D image of the shelter happened to be in the box at that moment. It had the floors, the stone walls, up, down, left, right, the entire thing.

Su Mo briefly browsed through all the functions, closed the interface, and opened up the chat interface.

After that night's battle, Su Mo had completely cleared up the confusion in his heart about other people outside.

Being in the wasteland, in the big pot of bad, he realized that the more he wanted to stay out of things, the more he was going to fall into the cage.

To completely close oneself and treat the shelter as a lone island in the ocean was the stupidest thing one could do.

After he found out about the truth, he knew what he had to do.

The Huaxia Shelter that he saw in the daytime had an extremely ingenious architectural style and overall construction method. He knew that there must be an expert behind it.

For a professional design work like that, Su Mo decided to contract it out so that he could maximize the use of the space in the shelter.

Finally, there was an opportunity to rebuild it. Su Mo had been very dissatisfied with the existing shelter structure, but he did not know where to start.

The first was the main entrance which was a long staircase.

That kind of staircase was fine during a normal day, but once someone broke through the main entrance and rushed in, both sides would have to have a hand-to-hand combat. There was no safety aspect to it at all and there should be at least two buffer zones or even three!

In the house, there was a 30-square-meter culture medium placed in the center of the base. Besides taking up a lot of space, it might also affect the subsequent development in particular.

In addition to the renovation, Su Mo had another idea.

After the contact he had that night, he realized that if anyone surrounded him from the top, he would have the risk of a surprise attack if he decided to leave since he lived underground.

Once or twice was fine, but if it kept happening, it would be big trouble for him.

Therefore, it was also necessary to build a buffer zone on the ground.

He could not completely give up control of the ground above in the early stage just because he had an underground shelter. 

After he decided on his idea, Su Mo clicked onto the private message function and started his first historical call according to the contact information he found on the Huaxia Shelter during the daytime.

The person who answered the call was the same little lady who spoke from the shelter during the day-

Shen Ke!

[Su Mo: Hello, I'm Su Mo from Huaxia and I'd like to make a trade with your shelter. Is that okay?]

Not long after he sent the message,

He got three very anxious replies. Before Su Mo could see what they said, the person on the other side immediately video called him.

After thinking about it, Su Mo did not reject the call.

Since he had shown his face to everyone in the world, there was no need for him to keep anything back at that moment.

The call was connected.

Shen Ke's face appeared on the screen.

"Hello, Su Mo, I'm the person in charge of the 79th Regiment of the 13th Army for disaster resistance. We've agreed to your trading request. What kind of trade are you looking for?"

When Shen Ke looked at Su Mo's face on the screen, she tried her best to suppress the shock she was feeling and tried not to show it.

In her view.

The first thing that caught her eye was his eye-catching generator and the two large buckets of diesel next to it.

Then came the extravagant cola, bread, biscuits, and other daily necessities... In the afterglow, she also saw a corner of the culture medium.

The opulence in his shelter was too much of a shock for Shen Ke after living in the doomsday world.

As for Su Mo's handsome face, he looked even more mysterious with the pile of supplies behind him.

"I'd like to get someone to help me design a structure for my underground shelter. It would be best if I got a blueprint design for it."

When Shen Ke heard what Su Mo said, she nodded hurriedly.

"Our shelter has a well-known former Huaxia designer, Ar. Shen, who's also my little uncle. Is it okay if I ask him to design it for you?"

"Sure, no problem. You guys should know the structure of an underground shelter, right? And according to..."

After Su Mo heard that it was Ar. Shen, he was a little surprised, nodded calmly, and began to talk about his requirements.

On the other side, Shen Ke immediately called her little uncle, Shen Yitian, over so that Su Mo could communicate with him face to face.

After a while, the two started discussing the details.

"Okay, we've understood your requirements. I'll hand the design to you the day after tomorrow at the latest. Don't worry, I'll follow the wartime rules and strictly abide by the confidentiality agreement!"

Shen Yitian was extremely straightforward. After discussing Su Mo's requirements, he once again picked up his grass umbrella from the side of the table and swaggered away. He was a dependable person.

Su Mo had also heard about the professional architect before.

Many supertall skyscrapers in their country, including the 840-meter tower, were designed by him. Therefore, a design for his shelter should be no problem.

After Shen Yitian left, Shen Ke returned to the middle of the screen.

"Ar. Shen didn't give me a quotation. Do you know how much supplies it will cost for a design drawing like that?"

When Su Mo saw that Shen Ke was too shy to bring that up, he said it in a direct manner.

Regarding the quotation, he believed that Shen Ke would never demand an exorbitant price. She did not ask many questions from the beginning, so Su Mo knew that the Huaxia Shelter was sincere.

However, the next moment, Shen Ke's words made Su Mo extremely uneasy.

"Mr. Su Mo, since this is just a design drawing, it doesn't use up any supplies. Therefore, as our first trade and out of the sincerity of Huaxia Shelter, we hope that you can help some people from Huaxia who's facing difficulties.

"Even in the wasteland world, we have to support each other and push on. Of course, as for the scoundrels you met tonight, you have one hundred percent of your independent defense rights and we support you for doing what you did, Mr. Su..."
