My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1510
[1501. Chapter 1478: Fire Fist Tribe, the First Difficulty!]
That is, the wasteland new world is just a backdrop, a world view for gambling and fighting.
Including the survivors that can be encountered in the gambling space now, they are all NPCs specially arranged by the scene designer.
Such an ingenious design not only ensures that even if Su Mo has established an unshakable prestige among the humans on Earth, he must remove his past glory and start from scratch in this gambling space.
In addition, this design has invisibly added many difficulties and challenges to the entire gambling space.
The contestants must understand the current world’s culture as quickly as possible and integrate into the NPC’s living atmosphere before they can begin to try to contact these people and promote their beliefs.
However, how could the survivors who had been struggling in the wasteland for twelve years easily make contact?
Considering the current nuclear winter background, Su Mo has reason to suspect that many people will even find it difficult to find a gathering place away from radiation to join in.
“It will be easy as long as Sunny Harbor City is still there. Most of the shelters here are nuclear-proof.”
In Su Mo’s imagination, even if a brutal nuclear war occurred in the scene simulated by the game, with the standards of Qinggang City, there should at least be a lot of supplies left that were not taken away.
As long as we can gather these supplies, it shouldn’t be difficult to get through the initial difficulties.
However, ideals are full and reality is skinny.
The game obviously did not intend to give him the opportunity to find a loophole. As soon as Su Mo thought of this, he immediately received the first guidance task released by the game.
[Record]: The first gambling fight ‘Battle of Faith’ has officially begun. Since the player ‘Suma’ has chosen the special ‘God’ route to start, you will receive a certain degree of guidance on how to start the route.
[Record]: Please go to the flashing light spot to receive the start bonus for the special route:
You will receive at this light spot:
1. A shelter base with a development level no higher than 5
2. 50 ordinary believers, 5 devout believers, and 1 fanatic believer
The prompt ended, and an inexplicably bright area appeared in the field of vision.
Located at the front left.
If we continue forward in this direction, we will be going in the opposite direction of the center of Qinggang City, and will only get farther and farther away from the entire city.
“What a hassle! I knew it wouldn’t be so easy to get this buff!”
Su Mo pondered in his heart.
If his physical condition was still there, he would definitely choose to turn the city upside down in the past few days and find all the usable supplies as much as possible.
However, now, after only staying in the cold wind for a few minutes, Su Mo immediately felt his whole body was cold and his limbs were stiff.
Especially when gusts of cold wind blow, the heat in the body is lost rapidly, and the feeling of hunger comes along.
“Sure enough, not only can we not bring in physical qualities from outside, but even some special abilities are banned.”
This is undoubtedly terrible news.
The food in a nuclear winter would definitely not be as abundant as it is in the wasteland after the autumn harvest, and it would be extremely difficult for ordinary contestants to obtain it.
Could it be that in just a month or so, two million people will be eliminated and only one percent will remain?
I saw that the number of participants on the game panel had plummeted to 1.7 million in just one day.
Su Mo shrank his neck and quickly took big steps towards the direction of the light.
Fortunately, the soul carrier still contained a certain amount of survival supplies, all of which were high-calorie foods.
Moreover, due to the serious decline in physical fitness, physical needs have also been reduced to the level of ordinary people.
This meant that the supplies that were originally only able to be supplied for two weeks could suddenly increase to a supply of three or four months.
At the same time, relying on the rights and interests attached to the divine route, the shelter base that is taken over should also have certain supplies.
With the help of manpower to go to Qinggang City to search for supplies, Su Mo has full confidence that he can solve the most basic survival problems within a month and restore stable supply and demand.
“Wow, this distance is quite far?”
Su Mo walked from noon to dark, and when he looked back, only a rough silhouette of Qinggang City remained.
The lonely ruins of the city looked even more desolate amid the falling snow, exuding the smell of civilizational corruption.
However, the light spots in the field of vision still showed no sign of ending, but their size and brightness had increased by about three times compared to the initial time.
Based on his leg strength, Su Mo could roughly determine the location of the shelter.
The straight-line distance from Qinggang City should be about two hundred kilometers.
It would take an ordinary person at least three to four days to arrive if he tried his best.
Athletes with good physical fitness can shorten the time to two days, but considering the severe weather factors of nuclear winter, it still takes about three days to arrive.
Unfortunately, Su Mo’s physical fitness when he first traveled to the wasteland was even weaker than that of an ordinary adult.
Follow the light all the way.
It was the afternoon of the fourth day.
A small tribe built in a sunken terrain gradually came into view.
“Can this be called a shelter?”
Su Mo sat down on a high place, and the soles of his feet were covered with blisters and were burning with pain.
If the refuge provided by the rights and interests is anything to go by, it can barely soothe the pain.
But the scene before him made Su Mo regret wasting time coming here.
The sunken terrain where the tribe is located is like a hole that suddenly sank into the flat ground, which is extremely abrupt.
The area inside the pit is also very small, and the flat land is only the size of ten football fields.
The only thing that looks half decent is the tower in the middle, which is very similar to the heating tower in Frostpunk.
However, compared with the heating tower in the game, this tower is obviously the ultimate weakened version.
According to Su Mo’s initial observation, it should be just an incinerator made of simple insulation materials. Things are thrown in to burn and boil water, and then heat is supplied to the houses next door through pipes.
Speaking of houses, Su Mo was completely powerless to complain. Can people really live in these sheds that sway constantly in the breeze?
A few simple pieces of wood nailed to the ground and then sewn on with unknown animal fur is what is called a house.
If you really encounter a snowstorm, it wouldn’t be surprising to be buried alive.
Of course, this refuge is not without merit.
Just like now.
The survivors in the pit were quite alert and immediately spotted Su Mo sitting on top.
“The clan leader is back!”
“Hurry up, the patriarch has collapsed at the door!”
“What are you doing? Hurry up, the chief is back with food!”
A few sharp-eyed skinny young men shouted in the camp, and then dozens of people came running out.
Su Mo counted quickly and found that the number of people and the gain just matched, a total of fifty-six people.
There were exactly forty young men among them. Although they were extremely thin, they still looked energetic.
There were fifteen women with disheveled hair standing at the back.
As for the other person, he was a hunchbacked old man who was somewhat special and seemed to have considerable prestige.
The crowd moved forward in a crowded manner, and soon formed a circle around Su Mo.
Strangely enough, Su Mo saw full of expectations and trust in the eyes of many people.
He felt that even if he ordered these people to die now, they would not refuse.
“Chief, more than ten days have passed, and you are finally back!”
The young man who had shouted in the camp at the beginning came up and supported Su Mo with an eager look on his face.
At the same time, the game panel lit up in front of Su Mo.
[Villager: Huang Xiangyu]
【Faith Level: Devout believer】
Fortunately, the game did not force a large number of strangers on him, but gave simple information to identify their identities, as well as a data to illustrate their combat power.
But
0.67?
Isn’t this too low?
Is this the physical fitness data that a human being who has been struggling in the wasteland for twelve years should have?
But soon, Su Mo’s question was answered.
Just after he finished looking at Huang Xiangyu’s attribute panel, his own attributes also popped up above his head.
【Name: Suma】
[Faith Level: God’s Spirit]
[Combat Power: 0.32]
Wow.
It turns out that I am not even half as good as Huang Xiangyu?
Realizing this problem, Su Mo can probably confirm that the current combat effectiveness standard should be based on twelve years of wasteland.
That is, the combat effectiveness of a healthy adult in the current environment is 1, rather than being counted in units of ordinary humans on Earth.
From this perspective, Huang Xiangyu seems to be a pretty good person.
If you can make up for the deficit in your body, reaching 1.3 or even 1.5 will not be a problem.
“It wasn’t an easy trip, but I’m back!”
Su Mo pretended to hear what was said, glanced at Huang Xiangyu, and then looked at everyone around him in turn.
He was so precocious in this set that he couldn’t lose again. Sure enough, everyone who was staring at him showed excitement.
Only the hunchbacked old man had an unfathomable gleam in his eyes.
He stepped forward, cleared his throat and said:
“Chief Su, I wonder if you have found any trace of the oracle?”
oracle?
Su Mo’s eyes narrowed and he glanced at the old man’s panel attributes with his peripheral vision.
【Villager: Thomas】
[Faith Level: Fanatic]
[Combat Power: 1.27]
Hiss.
This old man who seems to be at the end of his life, his fighting power is about twice that of Huang Xiangyu?
He is indeed the only fanatic, and his fighting power alone should not be underestimated.
However, Su Mo did not feel the trust from others from Thomas, but instead a kind of contempt with a hint of murderous intent.
This is not good. Could it be that the person who planned this gambling fight has set a trap for me?
Just when Su Mo was a little unsure about what to answer, he suddenly reacted and stood up confidently:
“Nonsense, of course I found the oracle left by the gods, and the oracle also guided me to find the supplies!”
What is the faith stream all about?
Isn’t it just a competition of who can deceive more?
Since this is a battle of faith, as long as you maintain your sense of mystery, you can keep the game going.
As expected, the young men around started shouting excitedly, and the women behind them started dancing with their hair disheveled.
Only Thomas was stunned. He raised his head in astonishment, with a look of helplessness in his eyes.
Is this still the useless chief of the Fire Fist Tribe?
Could it be that he really went out and received an oracle from God, which led to such an obvious change?
But soon, Thomas reacted and looked coldly around Soma.
I have to say, he was really intimidated by this guy just now.
“Chief Su, where are the supplies you found? Did you not bring them back? Are they somewhere far away?”
He strongly suspected that Su Mo had made up a false location. Since no one could go there anyway, there was no way to know whether there were really supplies there.
When the people around heard what Thomas said, they calmed down instantly and all took half a step back to make way.
Soon, only five devout believers were left in the circle in the center, surrounding Soma and Thomas.
The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere seemed tense.
“Uh, Patriarch, if the supplies for the sacrifice are nearby, I can go and get them back!”
Huang Xiangyu stammered.
The other four people were also talking at once. At first glance, they seemed to be on Su Mo’s side, but in fact they were forcing the emperor to abdicate.
Because of the father of this useless chief, a large amount of supplies of the Fire Fist Tribe were plundered by the neighboring Thunder Tribe.
The reason why everyone is willing to nominate Su Mo to take the throne now is because he promised to find the oracle back.
If the oracle cannot be found,
thinking of the inhuman torture, even the bravest person would rather die outside than come back.
That’s why everyone was so excited when they found out that Su Mo had returned.
“Haha, it seems that Priest Thomas doesn’t believe me anymore?”
Su Mo glanced at the old man.
This divine route is not really a wheelchair route, but a more perverted and more difficult start than the ordinary route.
Although the reward was generous, he was directly given a shelter base and more than fifty laborers.
But compared to the difficulty of the mission, the only option for most people here is to surrender.
Thomas didn’t say anything, but the murderous intent in his body became stronger and stronger.
Su Mo wanted to tease the old man again, and it would be best if he could test where his fighting power came from.
But on second thought, Thomas was after all the only fanatic, and he was also the priest in the tribe.
never mind.
Let’s take him down first.
“Well, in that case, let me open your eyes.”
Su Mo snorted coldly and began to chant in an incomprehensible language.
A group of people were confused, but suddenly, there was a cheer from the crowd.
“Sugar, a candy actually fell from the sky!”
“Big White Rabbit, it’s actually a Big White Rabbit, my God, God has finally shown favor to us!”
“It’s delicious, it’s delicious, it’s really delicious!”
What?
Thomas looked up suddenly and looked towards the place where the cheers came from.
I saw candies appearing from nowhere in the sky and falling like raindrops.
Some fell on the villagers’ heads, and some fell into their raised hands.
The number seemed to be quite a lot. In just half a minute, each person grabbed four candies.
Including Thomas himself, a White Rabbit milk candy hit him squarely on the forehead and fell to the ground.
He slowly squatted down and looked at the candy wrapped in plastic on the ground, lost in thought for a moment.
After twelve years of struggling to survive, the memory of this candy has long been erased.
But now, these sealed memories are coming back like a tide.
Earth, China, Humanity
Thomas picked up the candy tremblingly, gently peeled off the plastic paper, and put the candy into his mouth.
Hmm, it’s a familiar taste.
Once the refreshing sweetness and milky flavor are brewed, people will feel a sense of ecstasy and happiness.
Even the look he gave Su Mo at this moment now contained a hint of gentleness that he had never seen before.
