My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!

“This is the kobold castle near our shelter that houses more than 2000 kobolds!”

“Almighty Su is going to the kobold castle to save someone—his little sister. Stop making such wild guesses!”

Nobody knew which person from shelter in the west inadvertently leaked the information but, at that moment, the live broadcast room blew up even more.

“Save someone? F*ck me, I love it, I love it! Almighty Su will slice up a thousand kobolds in a fit of rage and rescue his sister. Don’t say anything more. My head is already starting to come up with the plot for an overbearing CEO!”

“As expected of our number one player from Huaxia. He’s tender-hearted and righteous—only someone like this can be called an ‘idol’!”

“If he’s fighting foreign races, I’ll motherf*cking donate supplies to Almighty Su. Almighty Su, I have wood, iron, and copper here. As long as you’re fighting foreign races, we’re brothers!”

“Someone finally sounded the horn for our earthlings’ counterattack. Awesome!”

Pretty much all the Huaxians were shocked upon hearing that their idol was going to attack such a scary castle for his little sister!

A tide of countless praises and exclamations flooded the comments. At the same time, there were countless people shouting about donating materials and supplies.

Also, there were people who were not optimistic about this battle where the disparity in power between the two sides was so great.

“Su Mo should calm down a little. As long as one is able to take things safely and steadily, they can surely rise up again if they put in the effort. With your speed of development, as long as you have another ten or so days, I believe that defeating this group of kobolds won’t be an issue, but now, for your sister… Youngsters are too impulsive.”

“Ten thousand people are writing this with their blood (1/10000)—Almighty Su, don’t act impulsively; you’re our idol! Don’t do foolish things like this. Figuring out a way to survive in this doomsday wasteland is the right way!”

“The risk of a direct attack is too great. Why don’t you try to negotiate first and agree on an exchange with the kobolds?”

“In doomsday, you can only trust yourself. Acting so impulsively for a sister, I don’t agree with Su Mo doing this. It’d be too much of a shame if his own life was lost.”

“To risk his own life in order to save someone else, not knowing if it’ll even succeed, is too dangerous. I’d still support not saving anyone. It’s better to grow further and wait for the chance for revenge later on!”

A battle late at night. Before things had even started, there were already countless people spontaneously entering Su Mo’s perspective and expressing their opinions.

From their excitement at the start to the gradual calm after, more and more people understood the kobolds’ characteristics…

They also started to believe that it would be hard for Su Mo to achieve victory and successfully save a person in this battle with the disparity in strength between the two sides.

…

“Not on the first floor. All of them are regular kobold warriors. All corners have been checked.

“Not on the second floor. This floor is also the kobolds’ residence. Most of the kobolds are gathered in the front. The rooms in the back are all empty.”

Not knowing that the live broadcast room had been so shaken up, Su Mo remained calm. He used the broadcast perspective to slowly look through every corner of the castle in detail.

Zhong Qingshu sat beside him on the floor, using a red pen to outline the map directly.

After checking through everywhere that people could be hidden, then climbing up to the third floor and finding nothing, Su Mo’s fists slowly tightened.

The lower three floors were the kobolds’ residence areas. The upper two floors were the kobolds’ core areas. As he was in a rush last time, Su Mo could not clearly see just what was on these two floors either.

However, when the live broadcast perspective moved to the fourth floor, two places that shone with a golden light abruptly appeared in his vision.

“The castle’s fourth floor. In the room right opposite the supplies room we went to last time, there’s a layer of golden light blocking my vision. Upon trying to use the live broadcast perspective to enter, it failed!

“The castle’s fourth floor. There’s another room diagonal to the supplies room that can’t be entered. The probability is extremely high!”

A thin layer of golden light hovered over these two rooms’ doors, but this golden light was like a canyon, blocking the live broadcast perspective’s vision.

Without stopping, upon seeing that Zhong Qingshu had finished recording this, Su Mo’s vision once again hopped up to the fifth floor. This time, there were even more locations covered with golden light.

Moreover, in the large room in the center, Su Mo could even see a picture slowly appearing above the golden light.

“This is… the kobolds’ ancestor?”

Within the pale golden light, as Su Mo examined it, an illusory portrait quite similar to a kobold mage, but with majesty, flashed.

The perspective pulled closer. Just as Su Mo was preparing to investigate and observe exactly what was so sacred about the golden picture, the room door opened…

A kobold dressed in white robes walked out slowly, its vision centered right at where Su Mo was looking.

Across the void, the two seemed to be looking at each other.

Immediately after that, with a wave of the staff in the white-robed kobold’s hands, Su Mo’s vision went dark. When it was clear again, it had gone back out outside the castle.

This time, the entire castle was covered in the pale gold light, and he was unable to break in again.

“F*ck me… What creature is this?”

While he had been initially startled, Su Mo had seen and evaluated the white-robed kobold’s full appearance clearly.

This was completely different from the ignorant expressions of kobold warriors and mages. The white-robed kobold’s eyes were full of “wisdom” that did not fit with what was common knowledge!

Moreover, before he left, Su Mo seemed to have seen the white-robed kobold’s eyes reveal a trace of…

Caution!

“Their fifth floor was also shrouded with golden light. My little sister’s location could very possibly be on the fourth or fifth floor…

“If you can enter… you must be careful of a kobold in white robes. He could have extraordinary power beyond our imagination!”

Slowly spitting out this news, Su Mo was not only unafraid of the unknown threat before him, but he was abnormally excited.

“The white-robed kobold isn’t strong. He probably noticed I was spying on him just now, but he didn’t do anything to me and only blocked me out.

“This means that his strength is still within an acceptable range for us, even if he is possibly… a little strong!”

Su Chan’s profile was still lit up, meaning that there was no danger.

Having investigated her possible locations, Su Mo was even more confident about the next step.

“Alright. I’ll go to the back first and be on standby. When you guys in the front create a chance, I’ll wait for the opportunity to enter!”

Upon finishing the investigation, Zhong Qingshu kept the map and got up determinedly. She packed up the weapons and equipment she had with her, a trace of solemnity in her eyes.

“This time… I’m counting on you. Take it as me owing you a life!”

Seeing to have sensed the heaviness of Su Mo’s promise, Zhong Qingshu’s face showed no movement or emotion. She nodded, then quickly vanished from his vision under the night sky.

Ruthless people did not say much.

This style was definitely not something an ordinary National University of Defense Technology graduate student could pull off, but Su Mo could not care about such things now. After watching Zhong Qingshu leave, he quickly laid prone on the floor and studied the creation of the Heartless Cannon.

The composition of the Heartless Cannon was divided into four parts, which were the launch tube, propellant, divider, and explosive.

The function of the launch tube was to provide a simple guiding mechanism for the explosive. This was exactly the same function as the barrel of a mortar.

The creation of the barrel is easy. Opening the trading market, Su Mo purchased 15 units of iron and spent 12 Disaster Points, using the game’s creation panel, to create 8 iron barrels with large calibers.

After using an axe to gently chisel through the back of the iron barrel, eight simple but abnormally sturdy barrels were created.

The function of the propellant was to provide the propelling force for the explosives. This was exactly the same as the basic and additional propellants of a mortar shell.

As he had a smokeless gunpowder production line, Su Mo simply took out two catties of guncotton and used 120 survival points to turn it into smokeless gunpowder.

The function of the divider was to separate the propellant from the explosives to avoid premature combustion from occurring.

The divider was a circular wooden board the same size as the inner diameter of the launch tube—below it was the propellant, and above it was the explosive.

After the propellant was lit, it would directly push the divider up, which would in turn push the explosives out of the barrel.

In actual use, wet soil could also be used to replace the wooden boards to divide the propellant and explosives; where a thick layer of wet soil was placed where the divider should be and would then be compacted to seal the propellant. Its effects were similar to the wooden divider.

The principle was very simple, but the launch was different from what was shown in movies. The cannon barrel had to be buried under the ground so that the ground could be used to resist the recoil.

However, on a snowy day like today, he could save the effort on the cumbersome digging process.

“Everything’s ready. Next, I just have to wait until everyone’s here, move the cannon barrels over, and then we can start the fight!”

Squeezing his fists till they turned purple, Su Mo once again entered the live broadcast perspective view and started looking for traces of Chen Shen and his party within the 50-kilometer radius.

It would have been fine if he had not looked but, after this glance, Su Mo was instantly thrilled.

After Su Mo came over the first time, Chen Shen and his party did not remain idle either. They mimicked Su Mo’s equipment from earlier and created more than ten rough snowboarding equipment at their shelter.

Moreover, these equipment devices were firmly connected by the time Oreo went back the second time. As long as the first person could keep steady, the people at the back would also remain steady within the slipstream.

This was the exact current image playing out in Su Mo’s vision. At a distance about ten kilometers away from Su Mo, Oreo was running in front at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour. The people at the back seemed to be playing the snake game, each one holding on to the person in front of them and linked tightly together as they slid swiftly over the snowy ground.

Because of the tailwind, not only did these people not show any nervousness, instead, each of them was curiously evaluating the scenery as it quickly passed by around them.

Especially Chen Shen—he even carried a huge Type-80 machine gun on his back, his face full of excitement!

“Good! Very good! After the disaster this time, I can probably start attempting to build my team.”

Having this group of refugees who trusted him and worked hard, Su Mo finally made up his mind on forming a team.

He had to establish a team—he must!

As long as he could maintain the number one shelter position and receive the rewards, supporting ten or twenty people was definitely not an issue!

The principle of strength in numbers was already displayed very clearly at this moment.

Fighting alone could develop exceptional individual capabilities and prowess but, under the current circumstances, it was obviously not enough.

Hence, if he wanted to develop the technology tree, he had to find a way to organize departments and teams to perform different duties. Only then could they move forward together.

Lying prone on the ground, he watched the party get rapidly closer while monitoring the movements on the kobold castle’s walls. Ten minutes later, Chen Shen and his party finally arrived!

Seeing Su Mo lying on the ground in the distance, as well as the shining “war room” behind him, the party was unusually moved but imitated a scene from television dramas as they quietly hunched their bodies and rushed over to Su Mo’s side.

“Brother Su, how are we going to attack? Are we going to rush up straightforwardly? We don’t know how to use these guns, so we’ll need Almighty Su to instruct us a bit.”

The 11 people who followed along were the Huaxians who had been rescued last time. A bunch of simple refugees, their faces were awkward as they scratched their heads in embarrassment.

Seeing this group of “adorable” people, Su Mo shook his head. He stood up with pride on his face and patted the iron bucket beside him.

“No need to rush up. With me here today, nobody will die.

“We…

“Will be relying on this!”
