At the edge of the horizon, under the assault of the wind and snow, the six of them moved forward slowly, finding it difficult every step of the way.
The weather was very cold.
Literally.
When Su Mo tried pulling down his mask, he felt a cold wave as his face was exposed to the outside temperature and the wind ca flooding in. It made him shiver and he had goosebumps instantly on his skin.
Without thick clothes, the frigid wind would quickly cool down the body heat of anyone walking in the wilderness in that kind of weather, causing their body temperature to get lower and lower.
When he thought about it, he realized that those people had walked hundreds of miles to get here without any supplies and in this harsh wasteland environnt.
In an instant, a sense of admiration rose in Su Mo’s heart!
“Yo, I can’t believe I’m receiving delivery packages on such a cold day! Dedication’s one way to put it!”
After Su Mo put on his mask and licked off the snowflakes that stuck onto his lips, his murderous intentions surfaced.
Whether it was to develop the base or to sacrifice the first floor of the Deep-sea Shelter to the Underground Shelter, there was an urgent need for safehouse cores.
However, collecting them ant that he had to kill his own kind, other human beings, who had also co over from Earth!
Su Mo was not evil enough to kill civilians or weak humans but, at the sa ti, he also did not think it was worthwhile to do so!
As for the villains and henchn, Su Mo did not feel the sa way about them!
“Oreo, are you sensing danger from that group of people?”
As Oreo’s head lowered, the man and dog laid on the high slope, observing the six of them slowly walking over from a distance.
When Oreo heard what Su Mo said, there was a trace of doubt in her eyes before she slowly shook her head.
It seed that those people coming from afar were not the threatening enemies that Oreo sensed with her sixth sense.
“No?”
When Su Mo saw Oreo’s movents, he thought to himself.
“It seems that these six people are just a side dish in this big show. I’m sure the main entree is still hiding in the back!”
Initially, that small team did not seem like a threat to Su Mo either. After receiving Oreo’s confirmation, Su Mo nodded and cald down.
The instinct of hunters was to wait for their prey.
The six of them were moving very slowly, walking heavily through the snow but, as ti passed, it beca clear where they were heading.
Impressively, it was the Underground Shelter!
As Su Mo laid above the high slope, which was less than three hundred ters from them, he coldly watched the group of people walking slowly.
As they got closer to him, the image in his binoculars beca clearer.
The two people who were leading the team wore small padded jackets that they got from god knows where and several pairs of pants.
Such unfitting clothes naturally made them look a little bloated.
However, compared to the four people behind, the two looked better equipped.
Even the short man who stood to the left, behind the guy with the yellow quilted jacket on the left, was wearing a thin autumn coat with a rough plant fiber cover wrapped around him.
With every cold breeze that blew past, the short man could not help but shiver and sneeze again and again.
Slowly, as the group of people walked past the Deep-sea Shelter, Su Mo could clearly see the delight on the faces of the first two n.
At the sa ti, they said sothing that Su Mo could not hear and the entire group suddenly went faster.
Various weapons also began to appear in the yellow quilted jacket guy’s hand.
When he looked closely, Su Mo imdiately beca furious.
Su Mo was no stranger to the weapon that he took out. It was the wooden spear that Su Mo used to kill a chaleon more than ten days ago.
With a total of four wooden spears, a shovel and a steel sword, the six of them looked threatening. Along with their outfits, they gave off a thug and gangster-like feel.
When Su Mo saw their shoddy equipnt, coupled with their scattered formation, he almost could not resist the urge to catch up to them and annihilate them.
“Even if there were ten or twenty deliveryn like these, it would be no problem for , let alone six!”
Currently, in his storage space, he had seven crossbow arrow shots that were filled with picric acid explosives. He just had to aim at the spot where those people were standing and slightly pull the trigger…
The huge impact from the detonation would turn those people into dust in an instant.
“But… I think I’d better wait and see what the big fish is…”
As he stared at the six of them gradually speeding up and disappearing from the end of his field of vision, Su Mo adjusted himself into a more comfortable posture and continued to wait on his stomach.
As for whether those people were going to break into the Underground Shelter or not, Su Mo was absolutely not concerned.
First of all, compared to when Huang Biao and his group attacked, the Underground Shelter had sunk a further five ters underground.
Secondly, since the thick stone walls sank in, the weakest spot was now at least five or six ters thick, not to ntion the passageway’s eight or nine ter-thick stone wall. Surely, one could only imagine how solid the whole thing was.
Thirdly, with the mobility brought about by the Earth Tiger, as well as the system’s shelter durability prompt, Su Mo could always return imdiately as soon as he detected an abnormality.
Based on these three considerations, Su Mo was extrely unconcerned about that group of henchn.
“It’s a pity that I didn’t bring my old phone that was still charging when I ca out. Otherwise, I would’ve been able to use my phone to check if there were other humans nearby!”
Since Su Mo ca over just to park his car, he did not think that he would et these deliveryn so, at that mont, he could only continue to wait on his stomach.
While waiting, Su Mo opened up the property panel of the shelter. As he stared at its durability, he also vigilantly watched the tracks where the group of henchn ca from.
Sure enough, within half an hour, another group of people appeared from the sa path!
After waiting for a long ti, Su Mo’s body started to go numb. He quickly patted off the snow on his body and turned on the heating switch on his waist to heat up his body.
The warm air from the heating elent and fan was very effective.
In less than ten seconds, his slightly stiff legs quickly loosened up and, soon, he was raring to go all out at any mont.
Su Mo took out his binoculars and quickly adjusted his lens to focus on the hurried figures.
“Very good! Great!”
Even though he could not see their faces well, Su Mo roughly counted the number of people in that group and was overjoyed.
The distance between the two teams was about five kiloters. Compared to the tattered-looking people in the previous team, the next team was obviously much better equipped.
“They have a total of eight people and seem to be well-equipped. Everyone’s wearing big quilted jackets. I wonder if they found it themselves or if they stole it from other people!”
The previous group with the six people stumbled along as they walked, but this group was different.
They were very clever and followed the footsteps of the group of six just now. They traveled along the route really quickly and were able to avoid all the obstacles along the way.
With their speed, this group would be able to catch up with the previous group in less than ten minutes.
“Hey, I’ve seen them before too. Aren’t they… that group of supervisors?”
Compared with the previous tattered-looking group, this team was made up of a few supervisors that Su Mo had specifically observed when he was sizing up the camp.
He t them at a familiar place again.
With those familiar expressions again.
The two people in the front row sized up Deep-sea Shelter’s hill and imdiately looked overjoyed, as they began to take out their weapons.
“They have spears, swords, and even a DIY crossbow… Good thing I’m going to wait for them to fight and stop each other first. Otherwise, I’d have to face a group of outlaws who are bigger and stronger than even in a few days…”
In the cold weather, Su Mo was so hot that he was sweating all over as he laid on the snow.
Even though just looking through the binoculars passively, he was obviously capable of firing his crossbows as well. Still, Su Mo was very thankful that he did not go all out in the ruins previously.
Otherwise, by the ti he ca out, that group from the kobolds’ camp might have already developed long-range weapons.
“Oreo, are you sensing danger from them?” Su Mo asked in a low voice after patting Oreo’s two cute little ears.
However…Oreo thought for a while and still shook her head.
“It’s not them??? Sh*t… Are you telling that there are more people at the back?”
When Su Mo saw Oreo still shaking her head, he was taken aback.
Counting the six people from before, plus the eight people now, there were already fourteen of them. If there were more people behind, then it really did not make any sense.
“Is Kento Maeda at the back?”
When Su Mo saw that the durability was still 100% on the ga panel, Su Mo suppressed the uneasiness he felt and continued to wait on his stomach.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
Even though it might feel great to catch them from behind and kill that group of people, he might miss out on the big fish that was going to co later.
Naturally, Su Mo chose to wait!
Ti passed quickly, and the thick dark clouds above the sky blocked the scorching sun from shining down its light.
The snowflakes were getting bigger and bigger, and the gentle breeze gradually beca more intense.
There were no buildings or towering trees to withstand the raging storm.
Even though the blizzard had yet to arrive, Su Mo’s heart gradually beca cold.
This kind of weather was going to continue for seven days before the final “feast” arrived.
If the wind and snow in other places were as heavy as it was near his shelter, then he was afraid… that humanity’s survival was at stake.
“This doesn’t seem right. Before this group of people ca, the wind and snow around my place wasn’t that bad yet. It seems that as more people arrive, the heavier the wind and snow gets.”
Su Mo, who was lying on the ground in bored contemplation, suddenly caught on to a blind spot that he had overlooked before.
Su Mo pulled out the hand-drawn map from his storage space and spread it out over the snow, he looked at it intently.
Using the distance between the Underground Shelter and the Deep-sea Shelter as the radius, he drew a circle.
Within the circle that had a seven-kiloter diater, when Su Mo was alone…
Although there was so wind, it was just a small breeze.
Although there was snow, it was just so light snow.
As a result, once the fourteen people entered the seven-kiloter circle, the wind and snow suddenly beca much heavier.
Even though the change was not very obvious, Su Mo, who had been lying on top of the hill and watching everything, was sharp enough to notice the difference!
There was indeed a change, and not a small one at that!
“It can’t be… If there are more people around the shelter, the worse the disaster gets. I’m afraid that…”
“I get it now. That’s why Magoo never joined a team. It’s most likely that they realized this exact problem that ti around too, so…”
Su Mo slapped himself in the head and had goosebumps instantly appear all over his body.
After he found Magoo’s diary from before, Su Mo quickly flipped through it, and in the entry for the 142th day of his diary, a seemingly nonsensical sentence to himself caught Su Mo’s attention.
“Manman, even though I’m doing really well, it’s too bad that there are too few beasts refreshing near my shelter!”
“I’m not having fun! I’m not having fun at all!”
As for the diary entry before that day, Su Mo lightly flipped the page to the front and to his surprise, the entry wrote the details of the disaster:
Mutant beast riot!
