My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! Chapter 96
Advertisement
Under the howling winds of the wasteland, the skies full of yellow sand declared war on every creature that walked the wasteland.
Turning his head, Su Mo stood on high ground, his eyes drifting to the chaotic camp of the lion people this time.
The sudden explosion of the base's core shelter threw the otherwise well-organized lion people's camp into pandemonium!
A catty of picric acid explosives was not powerful enough to raze the shelter to the ground.
However, for picric acid, the explosion was secondary. The subsequent violent combustion and the toxic smoke emitted were the primary deadly weapons.
"My fellow countrymen, one day, I, Su Mo, will avenge your grievances! I won't spare any of these lion people!"
Looking at the panicked lion people standing in front of the shelter, as well as the humans in varying, miserable states of deaths on the gigantic logs, the agitation in Su Mo's heart finally calmed down a lot.
The picric acid explosives, made with the saltpeter that had been purified by the psychic energy water, were obviously unusually powerful and terrifying.
Several lion people rushed recklessly into the fire, trying to rescue the Lion God sculpture that had just been placed inside.
However, after inhaling large mouthfuls of the yellow gas…
Thud!
They collapsed and scattered to the ground like vegetables.
Seeing this, Su Mo, who was observing with binoculars, could not help but let out a laugh.
"In a battle, you can't even trust others of the same race, much less cooperate with others from an outside race that don't even speak the same language! Unless I wait until the day my strength can completely overwhelm them…"
"Otherwise, if I want to maintain balance, I can't wipe out the lion people so quickly. I still need them to help me contain the kobolds. When I have manufactured hundreds of catties or even thousands of catties of picric acid explosives…"
Turning his attention away from the chaos behind him, Su Mo readjusted his focus and circled around in the direction of the buggy.
He had made huge profits from this trip.
He should have enough resources to tide through the blizzard disaster!
"It's a pity that people can't spend their entire lives in a cave."
Looking at the 'lively' atmosphere in the camp of the lion people, Su Mo now had new expectations for the future.
Subsequently, he wanted to build a real shelter that integrated features from both above and below the ground but, to create such a safe house that was protected from natural disasters, he would require more resources.
"It's too little. If I can't even save up the resourcesI find in the early stages, I'm afraid it will only get more difficult in the middle and late stages!"
Before he could find a way to solve the food supply problem, he could not get rid of these monsters all at once. Otherwise, he would fall into the predicament of having no supplies.
As for the matter of breaking into the kobold's saltpeter mining camp, it had prevented Kento Maeda from developing properly.
After adjusting the balance between the kobolds and the lion people, he incidentally obtained the most important Lion God statue from the lion people's shelter.

His power had greatly increased!
"I, Su Mo, have always been a fair and just person. Since the camp of the lion people has suffered heavy damage, the kobolds also cannot be exempted!"
Thinking about it, after Oreo sat down, Su Mo deliberately took a different route toward the kobold's camp, traveling in an arc.
"In a hurry."
"Why is life always like this?"
"Is this my ideal?"
"To spend my life like this."
…
Humming a happy song, Su Mo even found the yellow soil on the road interesting. Thinking of the outboard motor and Lion God statue in the storage space, he saw the mutated creatures that occasionally fled from fright due to the passing buggy, but did not bother to pursue them.
"The kobolds and lion people are my treasures too!"
While driving with one hand, Su Mo leisurely took out his vintage mobile phone and began to adjust his objectives.
Between kobolds and humans, after thinking about it, Su Mo selected humans.
Sure enough, in the western direction, at the edge of the map, a relatively large red dot immediately appeared, clearly indicating signs of a human gathering site.
Several smaller red dots were also sparsely spread out on the map.
"Holy sh*t, did the phone's power usage increase with the wider distribution of humans?"
Seeing the 64% power indicator in the upper right corner drop to 42% in the blink of an eye, Su Mo was so shocked that he quickly switched off the search for human signals and set it to kobolds instead.
On the map, in the north, a huge blood-red dot was indicated. Without thinking, he already knew that it was the kobold castle.
The grounds outside the castle were clean, with only a few dots scattered around here and there.
"I guess it has been cleaned up by the lion people?"
Su Mo surveyed the direction of the kobold's saltpeter mining camp, but the map did not display anything.
Switching to the lion people's signal, a long ribbon-like strip appeared on the map.
The long strip was extremely scattered. At the front of the group, a dozen small dots could be seen going extremely fast, rushing in the direction of the lion people's camp.
Snap!
The vintage machine ran out of power and automatically shut down!
"Alas, those shared charging station companies should really come to the wasteland to expand the market. I didn't expect to face phone charging issues here!"
Putting the phone back into the storage space dejectedly, Su Mo stepped on the accelerator in the direction of the kobold castle.
Oreo, who was behind him, felt the increase in speed and couldn't help but howl, excitement clearly expressed on the dog's face.
This was a husky that loved riding in a buggy!
Similarly, after Su Mo stopped the buggy, Oreo's face was full of dismay, her expression seeming to urge Su Mo to go another round.
"Okay, that's enough. We need to get to work. When we head home, I'll bring you for two more laps!"
After stroking Oreo's furry head and taking off the seat belt, he placed Oreo down and drove the buggy into the bushes.

The kobold castle was already in sight.
It seemed that the kobold castle had not received the news of the loss of the saltpeter mining camp. It was still quiet and peaceful at this time.
The kobolds on the four sentry towers wore heavy animal skin robes, lazily basking in the sun.
If he had not witnessed the saltpeter mining camp being blown into smithereens by his picric acid explosives, Su Mo would have even thought that the kobolds on both sides were not of the same race.
After waiting a long while, there were finally some odd movements around the castle. Su Mo had almost been bored to death lying there on the high ground.
A small group of about a dozen humans sneaked around the potholes and ran toward the castle, shouting as they ran.
They were carrying a stretcher in their hands with a kobold mage that looked dead to the world.
The kobolds on the sentry tower were the first to spot the human squad and began to bark.
The small door next to the enormous castle gate opened and a small group of kobolds rushed out. Seeing the kobold on the stretcher, they howled sadly.
Then the human squad was invited in and calm was restored to the castle.
"Kento Maeda… This old dog is really lucky to survive. I wonder how the other humans are doing."
Su Mo felt a surge of cold intent as he silently fondled the electric crossbow that was emitting a cold light, placing it next to him.
"It's not impossible to make use of foreign powers, but Kento Maeda obviously took the wrong path and proactively chose to become a servant in this relationship."
"If I follow his example and become a partner of the lion people, even if we are equal at the beginning, as I help the lion people win more and more battles, the number of lion people will increase. Sooner or later, the balance will be broken!"
From the moment these people entered the kobold castle, in Su Mo's mind, they were no longer a part of humanity.
Apart from the fact that the heads on their shoulders were not dog heads, the rest was no different from a kobold.
"Hehe, if you want to get your saltpeter mining camp back, you have to ask for my permission first!"
Standing up, Su Mo grabbed his weapon. He called out for Oreo and quickly ran toward the direction where the kobolds headed out of the city.
After a while, seeing the dense and neat footprints on the ground, Su Mo stopped in his tracks and began to plan his attack.
There was a certain method and technique to the placement of landmines.
If placed too close to the front, not many people would be blown up and it would instead alert the enemy.
If placed in a remote corner, there was a risk that the enemy would not pass through there and it would not detonate.
"What did dad always say… Landmines should be installed in places where people won't pass by. One should combine landmines with other methods to force the enemy to step on them and increase their effectiveness."
While reminiscing, Su Mo hatched a plan to place them according to the terrain.
So Mo had made up his mind about the landmines and decided to use a 10-catty explosive pack. He would also put three at once to inflict maximum damage.
The best position…
After looking at the terrain, Su Mo had a layout in his mind.
Linked chain explosion!
To inflict maximum damage, the 30 catties of explosives had to be placed in a location where the kobolds would normally not pass through.
However, this place should not be too remote either. He had to ensure that after the kobold team scattered, they would definitely step on it.
The damage of the landmine used to disrupt the formation should also not be too exaggerated, and the kobolds should not sustain a great loss at the beginning. Otherwise, this group of fools would most likely rush back along the way they came.
One meter…
Five meters…
Twenty meters…
After walking 30 meters to a position near the footprints of the kobolds, Su Mo placed down the 30 catties of explosives and set down the mechanical detonator.
Pulling open the safety valve, Su Mo cautiously and quickly left the bomb site.
When he came to the footsteps, he walked along the front for a hundred meters. Su Mo then started to dig a hole in the middle of the road and put down the second explosive pack.
Not much power, only one catty!
Pulling open the safety valve again, and after hearing a bang, Su Mo hastily covered his footprints on the ground and walked away quickly.
This time, Su Mo did not stop until he walked two kilometers away.
After looking at the nearby terrain and finding a high slope, Su Mo climbed up with his hands and feet. He took out his binoculars and began to survey the area.
After losing focus, Su Mo could hardly figure out where the two mines were buried exactly, only having a vague indication of their direction.
Gazing in the direction of the kobold castle and seeing the tightly-closed gates, Su Mo could only wait patiently while pinning his hopes on lady luck.
"You have to come out. The lion people have already killed your people. Can you sit still?"
"The lion people have betrayed you. The kobolds must stand up and fight!"
"The saltpeter mining camp is so important. You must take it back and revive the glory of the kobolds!"
Oreo lay lazily on the side. Listening to Su Mo's muttering, the dog's face could not help but express a trace of humanlike helplessness.
"My silly master, when can I grow up to share your worries?"
"It's a joy to go for a ride…"
"Tomorrow, we eat…"
Before Oreo's reverie continued, the ground suddenly began to vibrate.
Without waiting for Oreo to turn around, Su Mo said a little excitedly, while lying on the side, "Here it comes!"

He played for the combat, he played for the grind and he played for his guild but above all he played for the story. Kyle is a roleplayer, one who enjoys the simple parts of this virtual life. Whether his guild was starting a war or ending one he'd always have his drammatic entrence or exit, his decleration of annihalition or demand of surrender. After all that? He divulged himself in the game's story, the interaction with NPCS (Non Player Characters) and their advanced AI. He went through many questlines, many tales of heroics and many more adventurers of legend but one thing always remained true with his character. Kyle absolutely loved to the play the villain. But when game turns reality, what will he and his guild of twisted personalities do?
