《My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!》Chapter 187: Absorbing the Powers of God Gray, Fulfilling the Promise!
Advertisement
Even without Ying Tianlong, that old dog, Su Mo remained confident about the strength that the Tundra Shelter possessed.
An official shelter such as theirs would definitely be secure and have certain capabilities in terms of management and ability.
Given the assurance of the next welfare disaster, if he wanted his sister to remain safe in the Tundra Shelter and await his rescue, he only needed to make some small arrangements, and the Tundra Shelter would then be able to advance rapidly.
Furthermore, with Su Mo as a firearms dealer, the combat ability of the Tundra Shelter would be raised to a level where it could protect itself for a short period of time.
"After 24 hours, I will be able to scan for your location again. At that time, I will quickly settle the matters here, and then come find you."
"Remember, your life is of the utmost priority. Don't let our parents end up attending your funeral!"
The conversation between the siblings was very direct and straightforward.
There was no depressing mention of life and death, nor was there heart-wrenching and lung-tearing crying. Although Su Chan was a high school student, she was one of the top students at Fudan University Affiliated High School and was extremely mature and intelligent.
Su Mo nodded. He repeated his instructions again. After Su Chan nodded solemnly to indicate that she had remembered everything, he hung up.
He took another look at his sister's profile picture and then looked at the message in the inbox, filled with a sense of unwillingness...
The next moment, Su Mo did not hesitate further. He focused mentally and tapped on the delete button.
With a flash of light, Su Chan's profile picture disappeared from his friends' list…
The game panel was still the same game panel, and Su Mo was still the same Su Mo…
However, from this moment on, his highest priority target had appeared in this vast wasteland!
"Su Chan, wait for me! Soon I'll be able to let everyone in the world know that you are my one and only..."
"Sister!"
After taking a deep breath, Su Mo closed the game panel. There was no longer any hesitation left in his heart, and his iconic cold expression returned.
In the ruins of the kobold castle, the team continued to search for resources. Even Zhong Qingshu joined them.
Kobolds might have looked down on some of these resources, but they were precious resources to the human population.
From food to weapons, and from weapons to tools, every time a resource of similar quality was unearthed, the castle ruins were filled with cheering from time to time.
The kobold castle had become a thing of the past.
Death, and life, both intersected here.
Similarly...
Hope was also born here.
Looking at the busy group, Su Mo shook his head, his eyes filled with emotion.
To the refugees trapped in such a chaotic wasteland, as long as there was food and water, they would be willing to work for others.
In such an environment, driven by the need to survive, people were the easiest to control.
Su Mo silently took two steps back. Under the light of the rising sun, Su Mo started to retrace his steps and route from last night.

Walking past the crater created by the white-robed kobold, and after walking a further 400 to 500 meters, Su Mo finally saw the snowboard that Chen Shen and his team had made yesterday.
The location of the fireball's explosion was very far from this area, so it was unaffected.
Following the footprints on the ground, Su Mo walked around and easily found Oreo, who was sleeping soundly in a small pit.
At this moment, Oreo had already returned to her normal size. She did not look as impressive as the three-meter wolf she had morphed into yesterday.
As if sensing the scent of Su Mo, Oreo slowly opened her eyes and saw the approaching feet.
"Woof?"
"Go to sleep, go to sleep. Sleep more if you're tired. We've already won, so we don't need to fight anymore. We won't need to at all in the future either!"
Feeling sorry for Oreo, Su Mo picked her up. Seeing the exhaustion apparent on Oreo's face, Su Mo took out the Mountain and Sea Painting Scroll card and gently placed it on her.
And…
The next second, something unexpected happened!
The black card that was emitting starlight seemed to have found its owner and started to spew out star power crazily.
The violent light lifted Oreo, who was lying in his arms, upwards into the air.
As if sensing the threat, the snowflake symbol between Oreo's eyebrows appeared without any stimulation, erupting with blinding white light.
Similarly, the dark light relied on the Mountain and Sea Painting Scroll card to continuously erupt, not backing down.
One, and then two seconds passed. When the dark light around Oreo was about to solidify, the snowflake symbol finally gave up and moved aside from the center of her forehead.
With a flash of light, the symbol on Oreo's forehead changed…
Oreo was smiling foolishly with her tongue out...
Huh?
Something doesn't seem right!
Compared to the snowflake symbol, this bland symbol was extremely lacking.
Unfortunately, Oreo did not have a mirror to look at. Although she felt that something strange had appeared between her eyebrows, she could only look around curiously, unable to actually see the new symbol.
The symbol flashed for three seconds before being cut off, and the power surrounding Oreo slowly disappeared.
Holding Oreo, who had fallen from the sky, Su Mo opened the game panel curiously and brought up Oreo's attribute panel.
[Pet Name]: Oreo
[True Name]: ???
[Status]: ??? (Personality has been permanently fixed)
[Creature Description: A gentle wasteland creature. As a mutated husky that has inherited many different bloodlines, after inheriting the divinity of Gray Cize, it now possesses incredible suppressive power, allowing it to have supreme status when facing its own kind. At the same time, its bloodline has been upgraded and the upper limit of its potential has increased exponentially.]
[First Ability: Adaptation (Demi-God): A special biological bloodline and powerful divinity that allows this creature to have terrifying adaptability; being able to perfectly adapt to any harsh weather or environment. When it fights in a disadvantaged environment, its combat power will increase by a certain extent.]
[Second Ability: Fate (Demi-God): A powerful biological structure. After injecting the power of divinity into it, this creature now has the ability to see through the fog of destiny for short periods of time. This ability is a passive skill and cannot be used actively.]

[Third Ability: Snow (Follower): In cold weather, as a devout follower of the Arctic Queen, this living creature can gather the power of ice and snow into its body and expand its body size, which correspondingly improves the physical quality of its body.]
[Fourth Ability: Oreo? Race? (Pseudo God): This creature has the right to create its own race.
[Current Status]: A Pseudo God without any power (0%)
"Wow, Oreo turned into a God?"
Looking at Oreo's exaggerated description on the attribute panel, Su Mo rubbed his eyes and was shocked when he realized that there was still no change in her attributes.
The Heavenly Dog Pseudo God, while it was only a Pseudo God, was not something Su Mo could have dealt with if its strength had not been restricted and if the system had not detected its weakness.
The colossal shadow of a god, the destructive power of a nuclear bomb, a gigantic leap in life order…
After Oreo absorbed the Pseudo God's divinity, as long as he could replenish the energy, it would mean that… Su Mo would have the power of a Pseudo God on his side.
"Woof!"
"Awoooo!"
On the snowy ground, before Su Mo could continue pondering about the subsequent changes that had taken place, Oreo became anxious.
She tried to figure out what was on her forehead but, as she turned around, she could only see her tail. After repeating this action several times, Oreo became so angry that she bit her own tail. A look of resentment appeared on her dog face.
"She inherited godhood, but not the intelligence of a god!"
Seeing that the lively Oreo was still an "idiot", Su Mo laughed loudly. He took out the remaining biscuits and fed them to Oreo.
Together with Oreo, who had eaten her fill, Su Mo returned to the castle ruins where, by now, the team had basically cleared out all the supplies and resources.
Of course, the most important treasure chests had been collected by everyone and stacked in a pile together.
It was a pity that less than 10% of the kobolds dropped treasure chests, as most of the kobolds had been killed by the white-robed kobold. After the extinction of the kobolds, Su Mo realized that there were fewer treasure chests on the ground than during his previous outing with explosives.
There was not a single silver chest, and there were only 11 bronze chests. The remaining treasure chests were mostly wooden and iron chests, which were not worth much.
"What a pity, but I had no choice back then. It was good that no one died!"
Hearing Chen Shen's report, Su Mo nodded. Then he changed the topic and asked everyone the question that they wanted to hear the most.
"Are you interested in joining my shelter?"
Before he could finish his sentence, everyone, including a few older uncles, nodded their heads like chickens pecking at rice. Their faces were filled with anticipation.
"Yes! Yes! Brother Su, not just us, even people on the World Channel, if you ask, I guarantee that 99%… no, 100% of the people would want to come and join your shelter!"
Chen Shen's gaze was fervent. Among all the people, he was the bravest and the smartest. He was also the one that Su Mo thought the most highly of.
After Chen Shen said that, the others started to share their opinions.
In conclusion, there was only one sentiment.
They wished that they could run away from the shelter in the west and move to the Underground Shelter overnight!
However, after everyone said those words, they turned their hesitant gazes to a single person in the front row. There seemed to be something that they could not say.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Su Mo smiled and looked over kindly.
Chen Shen seemed to have mustered up his courage. He coughed and started to share everyone's thoughts.
"Brother Su, the situation is like this. Although everyone wants to join your shelter, after we leave, there won't be many men left in the shelter to the west. Most of them there are women and children. Seeing that the next disaster happens to be a welfare disaster, everyone is thinking of going back to the shelter to help them grow some food. It could be considered as us repaying the kindness to the shelter that took us in."
"But don't worry, Brother Su. When we come back, we will definitely bring more than half a year's worth of food over. We will not let you worry about us at all!"
After saying that, everyone, including Chen Shen, turned their gazes over nervously. They were afraid that Su Mo would get angry and take back his offer.
"What a bunch of simpletons."
Seeing that everyone was sizing him up, Su Mo praised them in his heart.
Even though Su Mo had a grasp on the characters of these people after a number of experiences together, he could not help but feel touched.
"Alright! Join my shelter later. I'll keep this promise."
After making a solemn promise, everyone cheered when they saw Su Mo's determined face under the mask. They quickly packed up their bags and prepared to return.
Seeing how busy everyone was, Su Mo took two lazy steps back while basking in the sunlight. He started to tidy up and prepared to return to the Underground Shelter.
"So, are you going to look for your sister after this disaster?"
While packing up, Zhong Qingshu came over and took the snowboard from Su Mo.
"Yeah, I already know where my sister is. After the welfare disaster, I should be setting off..."
After a moment of silence, Su Mo chose to believe Zhong Qingshu.
As friends who had gone through trials and tribulations together, the friendship between them had something extraordinary; especially in the desolate wastelands, it became something even more treasured.
"Well… before you leave, if there's a chance, I want to ask you for a favor!"
"Oh?" Su Mo put on a curious expression. He looked at Zhong Qingshu's pretty face and listened intently.
"I might have discovered a… secret of this world?"
Tilting her body, Zhong Qingshu mysteriously said words that could only be described as "earth-shattering"!
