My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1511

[1502. Chapter 1479: Lack of supplies, the second difficulty!]

Therefore, Su Mo put eight boxes of hard candies in the soul carrier plate just to exchange them for some start-up capital.

Unexpectedly, before the time for exchange came, half a box was sent out to subdue these people.

The effect is naturally excellent.

Especially the method of descending from the sky. Even if Su Mo did not deliberately remind them, the young people who gathered around were still shouting slogans that sounded extremely childish, such as “God has appeared, bless the Fire Fist Tribe”, etc.

“Priest Thomas, do you now believe that this patriarch has received the oracle from the gods?”

Su Mo tilted his head and looked at the old man who slowly stood up.

In fact, from the moment the murderous intent began to disappear, Thomas’ threat no longer existed.

However, the reason for asking this question was because Soma wanted to confirm his authority in this unfamiliar tribe.

What Fire Fist Tribe? He had no memory of it at all.

If we fail to scare this group of people under such circumstances, we will be in an extremely passive position once the truth is revealed.

“Yes, I believe this is a gift from the gods!”

Thomas nodded obediently, obviously understanding what Soma meant. He raised the scepter in his hand and said softly:

“I, Thomas, the priest of the Fire Fist Tribe, formally recognize Sumo as the new chief of the Fire Fist Tribe!”

As the voice fell, responses came one after another from all around.

“I, Huang Xiangyu officially acknowledges”

“I, Sun Chong.”

“I, Zhang Liubang”

“I am Nongcao.”

“I, Kong Geliang, captain of the Fire Fist Tribe, formally recognize Su Mo as the new chief of the Fire Fist Tribe!”

First, five devout believers quickly responded to Thomas’s speech.

Then a group of ordinary believers around spoke up and acknowledged Su Mo as the leader of the Fire Fist Tribe.

Maybe all this seems a little strange in the eyes of the three years in the wasteland.

But considering the background of this world, which has been poisoned by faith for twelve years, everything is normal now!
“Very good.”

Su Mo nodded slightly, his eyes sweeping across the faces of this group of original villagers one by one.

Based on the premise that they can be conquered, having such a group of people at the beginning is indeed a huge help.

In addition, they also got a place to settle down in the wasteland.

“Let’s go back to the tribe. There are still many things to deal with. The oracle has more to say than what I just said.”

“yes!”

Kong Geliang and Huang Xiangyu immediately stepped forward and picked up Soma from the ground.

The group of people walked down the slope in a lively manner towards the Fire Fist Tribe in the big pit.

You know what, maybe because of the shelter from the wind down there, the perceived temperature did rise a lot.

Su Mo estimated that the temperature had risen from at least minus ten degrees to three or four degrees above zero, and a warm feeling came from under the ground.

They escorted him all the way to the largest hut in the tribe, and the crowd surrounding him left.

Only five devout believers and a fanatic worshipper of Thomas were left.

Several people entered the house. The space inside was quite large, but there were very few items.

There are only two wooden cabinets, a wooden bed, and a very old-fashioned work desk.

On the wall, Suma saw a sketch.

The sketch was a photo of Su’s father and Su Mo, with the Fire Fist Tribe’s tower in the background.

“Fuck, this game is so funny!”

Su Mo secretly complained in his heart.

But in the eyes of others, he had been staring at the portrait on the wall since he entered the room, with his expression changing back and forth.

Thomas pursed his lips and suddenly sighed:
“The old patriarch’s wish in this life is to get a response from the gods. If he knew that you, patriarch, have been recognized by the gods, he would rest in peace in his grave.”

“Yes, if the old chief knew that you were the first chief among all the tribes around here to receive the oracle, he would jump out of his coffin with joy. Uh, I mean, he would be very pleased!”

“The old patriarch is such a good man, but it’s a pity that good people don’t live long in this world. There’s nothing we can do about it.”

“We must make those damned Benlei tribe pay with blood!”

“Yes, if the chief of the Benlei tribe knew that our chief Su had obtained the oracle, he would be so frightened that he would fall off the tower!”

“.”

Several people spoke out to comfort her.

However, these words sounded a bit harsh and weird to Su Mo’s ears, and he almost couldn’t keep a straight face.

“Okay, I’m not sad, I just thought of something.”

“Everyone, please sit down. I need to know the current situation of the Fire Fist Tribe after being away for so many days.”

“Tell me about the remaining supplies, energy situation, surrounding enemies, and other difficulties.”

We communicated for such a long time.

Su Mo also roughly judged his current situation and decided that he should go to the outside world alone to seek the so-called “oracle” in order to gain recognition from the tribe.

Therefore, it is not out of place to raise this issue now.

The person in charge of supplies was ‘Zhang Liu Bang’, and everyone’s eyes turned to him.

“Supplies. Since the Benlei tribe plundered a large part of our supplies, we only have less than half a month’s worth of food left. If we save a little, maybe we can last for a month?”

hiss.

Sun Liubang’s stammering answer immediately made Su Mo frown.

It was winter now, and there was only half a month’s worth of food left, which had pushed the tribe to the brink of collapse.

Once the villagers outside know about this situation, they will definitely go crazy and demand to divide the remaining supplies and join other tribes.

This is nothing new in the wasteland.

As the saying goes, when disaster strikes, everyone flees. Ordinary believers do not have strong constraints, and the Fire Fist Tribe does not have any unique advantages.

“We kept this a secret, so the villagers outside thought we could survive until the end of winter and the next farming cycle.”

“How long will it take for deep winter to end?” Su Mo asked.

“Two and a half months.”

Seeing that Su Mo did not seem to blame or get angry, Sun Liubang gradually grew bolder.

“Chief, if we can get back the supplies that were looted from the Benlei Tribe, we will definitely be able to hold on until the next farming cycle!”

“Nonsense, everyone knows this!”

“We have only eight guards in the Fire Fist Tribe, but the Thunder Tribe has thirty-four, more than four times our number. I also heard that Rao Yuanhong, the chief of the Thunder Tribe, has hired a team of mercenaries from outside, intending to sweep through other surrounding tribes.”

“We attack now? Even if the clan leader obtains the oracle, there is still a clear gap in strength between us and the enemy in the short term. Do you expect the gods to help us win this battle?”

Kong Geliang’s worries are not without reason.

The gap between the fire fist and the thunder is like an egg hitting a stone.

Moreover, he didn’t say it clearly, but the eight soldiers of his own guard were all skinny, while the people of the Benlei tribe on the opposite side were all of normal physique. It might not be possible for three of his people to win against one.

If he dares to come to my house, wouldn’t he be asking for trouble?

“Besides this, what about the energy situation?”

Su Mo’s expression remained unchanged, and he continued to ask calmly.

Looking from above at the tower in the center of the tribe, the heating seems to be rubbish and has little practical effect.

However, when he actually entered the shed, Su Mo discovered that his first impression was indeed very wrong.

Who would have thought that this heating tower could actually adjust the temperature inside the shed directly to around ten degrees.

After sitting for a while, he even felt a little hot.

“The energy needed to heat the tower is not so scarce. It can last for at least another month. We have also found two unmined radiation mines nearby. As long as we have enough food to sustain our expenses, we can mine the ore in batches. There will be no shortage even until next year.”

Finally there is good news!

The most unbearable thing about a nuclear winter is the drop in temperature, low temperatures and cold.

As long as the heating tower can offset this part of the impact, the food problem can resolve all the current crises.

After realizing this, Su Mo immediately felt relieved.

However, he thought it was a little strange. If the wasteland humans all had heating towers, the nuclear winter background would not be as threatening as imagined?
Did the people who designed the scene make a mistake, or was there something wrong with the process of creating the world?
Su Mo couldn’t figure it out, so he could only put the question aside for the time being and continue to ask about other situations.

As for the surrounding enemies, there is only the Benlei Tribe.

“Our tribes located around the 37th rift are all small tribes with less than 500 people. Therefore, we have never had a fight due to disagreements during the development process. The only fights we have had are due to conflicts over ore mining.”

“But since the Benlei tribe received a divine oracle half a year ago, it has begun to expand disorderly. Not only has it actively launched invasions against surrounding tribes, it has also openly or covertly recruited those cruel ice bandits, trying to stir up a huge chaos in the 37th crack.”

“Our Fire Fist Tribe is not an isolated case. In fact, more than a dozen tribes have had their supplies plundered by the Thunder Tribe!”

“More than ten?” Su Mo raised his eyebrows.

“Then why don’t we unite and attack the Benlei Tribe? Even if one tribe only sends out five people, the total number of people is much larger than that of the Benlei Tribe, right?”

“This point.” Kong Geliang swallowed.

However, before he could open his mouth to speak, the priest Thomas took the initiative to take over the conversation.

“Chief, maybe the old chief passed away in a hurry and didn’t have time to explain these things to you. In our wasteland, the weak are vulnerable to a single blow. Even if we all join forces, we are still no match for the Thunder Tribe.”

“The one who caused this was Shadu, the high priest of the Benlei tribe.”

Thomas looked solemn and emphasized the word “big” in the name of high priest.

“Shadu, this person is a priest from the 24th rift. His tribe was once a tribe of 10,000 people, so he gained many incredible abilities during his growth. Now he has brought these abilities to our 37th rift, and he is completely invincible!”

“Even if the priests of our ten tribes all united, it would be difficult to take down this sand dune.”

“Once we let him leave the encirclement, what we will face next is probably the tragedy of being defeated one by one!”

Shadu, the high priest, incredible power!
Su Mo immediately caught a few key words and realized the specificity of this world of faith.

Technology does not seem to be respected here. Humans should be heading towards the same path of theocracy as the aliens.

I’m in trouble.

If technology is the main focus, Su Mo believes that he is still capable of quickly making a revolutionary change in the production of the Fire Fist Tribe.

But if it is mainly about divine arts, he has been exposed to it very rarely and it will take him a long time to understand it.

“What about sneak attacks?”

“At this level, one has already attained intermediate or higher divine perception. Sneak attacks are useless.”

Thomas shook his head and looked at me helplessly: “Just like I know now, Chief, you want to hit my old waist with your fists, and you will also use sneak attacks and hammers. In addition, for an old man like me, kicking my hips is a bit too harsh.”

“Forehead”

Su Mo scratched his head and suddenly felt embarrassed.

Well, speaking of sneak attacks, he did think about it unconsciously just now and glanced at Thomas.

He didn’t expect that just this one look would allow him to perceive so much information.

“What is this principle? Can I learn it?”

“Of course!” Thomas gave a definite answer: “Any human being who is favored by the gods can practice the magic given by the gods. Chief, you have already received the oracle of the gods and have the ability to summon the gods’ gifts. This level has long met the qualifications to practice the magic.”

“I will bring you all the magic arts collected by the Fire Fist Tribe later. If you can learn them sooner, the strength of our tribe will increase significantly!”

“Okay, the tribe’s food problem must be solved, but whether it should be through divine gift or fighting, this needs me to decide. After all, asking the gods for food is…”

Su Mo had only said half of his words when everyone in the room nodded and clasped their hands together.

The gods will only give oracles, gifts, and grace to the devout.

But if the purpose of the devout is to pursue desires, then there will be ulterior motives in the faith and it may be abandoned by the gods at any time.

If they dared to advise Su Mo now, their faith would immediately collapse and they would have to start all over again.

“Okay, I need a night’s rest. I’m exhausted from traveling all these days!”

After driving these people away, Su Mo climbed onto the wooden bed lightly.

He was telling the truth. Traveling without sleep for four days was indeed difficult.

If it weren’t for the mental fortitude that I had forged in the wasteland, I would have never been able to hold on when I first arrived.

“Although this shed is simple, I didn’t expect the bed to be so comfortable.”

The bed was covered with two thick layers of unknown thatch, and lying down felt like sinking into cotton.

With the addition of a thatched quilt, Su Mo felt that his whole body was wrapped inside.

It’s cold and windy outside.

The room is warm like spring.

A hint of inexplicable plant fragrance wafted through the house, driving away the last trace of coldness.

Soon, Su Mo fell into a sweet sleep.

More than ten hours later, when he opened his eyes, there were a few more things on his desk.

The most eye-catching one.

It was a piece of parchment emitting a faint white light in the middle of the wooden table!
