“How much time is left until the ruins form? Can you hold out until I arrive? D*mn, how can it choose such an inopportune time to appear?”

1

As he got dressed, Su Mo frantically asked in the chat.

Knowing that the next disaster was possibly a world extinction flood that would last half a year, Su Mo viewed this opportunity to prepare before the punishment disaster as incomparably vital.

Entering the ruins to obtain enough time currency to cultivate seeds was his top priority at the moment.

“Time-wise, it’s not that urgent. The ruins have just appeared. Based on previous instances, it will take about an hour or two for the ruins to consolidate. I felt signs of its arrival yesterday, but I didn’t think it would be at this time.”

At five, the sun had not risen yet.

Hearing Su Mo’s questions, Zhong Qingshu turned on her own video.

Behind her, a grey fog rolled between heaven and earth, visible despite the lack of light in the sky.

“It’s a grey fog…”

Su Mo was very familiar with the color of the nearby ruins.

This fog was similar to the first time he entered Liangfang Town. Looking at it would give one the chills.

However, when compared to the black fog he encountered the second time entering Liangfang Town, it was the case of a little evil meeting a big one. There was no comparison at all.

“Okay, don’t panic. Given my traveling speed, I should be able to reach before the ruins consolidate. We should have plenty of time, so just get things ready over there. I’ll be there soon!”

Seeing Zhong Qingshu already dashing rapidly out of the Candlelight Shelter with her equipment, Su Mo’s heart sank. He hung up as he comforted her.

The reason for the punishment disaster had not been found yet.

The method to obtain the time currency was also completely unknown. At this moment, he could only place his hope on Zhong Qingshu, believing that a genius like her had sufficient theoretical and practical knowledge to decipher those problems.

On the other hand, if a fight were to break out, as the main combatant, Su Mo was not scared at all.

Walking over to the gym equipment room in the shelter—which currently also stored his firearms—he looked at the variety of sleek, polished guns arranged on the ground. Su Mo squatted down and picked up four M-1 rifles. He loaded the magazines one by one, and then put them into the storage space.

He picked up the Type-80 machine gun too. This time, Su Mo planned to bring them all. Moreover, before he put the Type-80 machine gun in the storage space, he attached the ammunition belt properly so that, when he opened his storage, he could start firing immediately.

“Mm, if it’s explosives, I’ll bring ten packs. I can’t use this thing rashly in the ruins, otherwise I might end up exiting the ruins after the welfare disaster is over. If that happens, there will be no place for me to cry!”

After his previous experience exploring the ruins, no matter what sort of danger awaited, Su Mo would do his utmost not to damage or destroy things if it could be avoided.

Of course, if it was a matter of life and death, Su Mo would not be pedantic; he would definitely use it.

Strong guns brought with them a sense of safety that came with having long-range firepower. After checking through everything to make sure he didn’t miss anything out, Su Mo thought for awhile, before going to the corner to put the new three-pointed two-edged sword that had never seen use into the storage space as well.

Having a large weapon in his hands brought a different feeling of strength, as a feeling of invincibility surged through his body. Su Mo smiled as the lingering fear from experiencing the world extinction flood yesterday instantly disappeared!

“Going into the ruins this time, I must do well. I have to get enough items to prepare and protect myself from the world extinction flood.”

“Regarding the prediction of the punishment disaster that will happen, once I exit the ruins, I can try disseminating information in the World Chat and deepen my level of influence in the wasteland world. That will also allow me to obtain more energy for the Divulgence of Heaven’s Secret and simulate even more realistic situations.”

As he packed up the emergency supplies he had to bring, Su Mo kept muttering to himself.

Before this, he had kept all information to himself to protect himself and not attract too much attention.

However, things were different now. The Divulgence of Heaven’s Secret needed the holder’s level of influence to be substantial in order to recover and increase its energy reserves for future simulations. Su Mo needed more fame too to ensure that he could keep collecting more information and data!

As for the potential dangers that might occur, Su Mo glanced at the various supplies in the storage space and took out the combat pet egg he had obtained from the golden treasure chest earlier.

“Aside from Oreo… It’s about time for the second pet egg to start supplementing my combat ability!”

Compared to working with the other humans in the wasteland, Su Mo was still more inclined to form a united front with his own pets.

Loyal pets would never betray him. They were the best companions for exploring the ruins!

The first time he entered the ruins, Oreo, who had just hatched from the pet egg, saved his life when encountering the bad black dog.

After that, during the second disaster, it was Oreo who had pulled him through the blizzard toward the kobold castle during his attempt to rescue his sister.

As for the new pet egg he had obtained, Su Mo did not plan to leave it idle any longer. He took it straight out of the storage space and placed it on the floor, preparing to activate it.

Oreo’s pet egg did not come with any instructions for activation, but this one had its activation method clearly written out.

As for the type of pet he would obtain, countless types of aggressive animals flashed through Su Mo’s mind as a drop of fresh blood slid from the back of his hand onto the pet egg.

One second, two seconds, three seconds…

The pet egg did not shine with the same mysterious green light like Oreo’s did previously.

On the contrary, it was just like a normal animal hatching, with cracks slowly spreading over the surface of the eggshell.

As more and more cracks formed, he could see that the pet egg was starting to quickly swell up like a sponge that had absorbed water.

It kept swelling until it reached the height of Su Mo’s shoulder before stopping. After that, something else floated out from the storage space spontaneously.

“This is… the staff I picked up at the kobold’s castle?”

After angering the white-robed kobold to death, Su Mo had picked up this staff off its corpse. While it was a pity that this staff could not supplement any of his shelter’s existing blessings, it could at least store some pseudo-divinity.

When he saw the pet egg needed some of the so-called “divinity”, Su Mo did not hesitate and summoned the game panel, taking out 3 units of pseudo-divinity as well as one unit of divinity.

“After entering the game panel, divinity seemed to have transformed into another form of consumable energy. Could it be that this pet egg requires a large amount of energy?”

Su Mo carefully put each unit onto the surface of the eggshell. When all three units of pseudo-divinity had been consumed, the eggshell started spinning around as if it was very pleased.

Then, before Su Mo could put away the unit of true divinity, the eggshell pounced up and sucked it into its body, transforming as the eggshell began to shatter into broken pieces that scattered across the room.

Wham!

Wham!

The large eggshell descended from the air and fell onto the ground, making a crisp, clear sound. At the same time, the remaining eggshell pieces crumbled into fine powder, revealing a majestic-looking creature in its place, standing upright.

Before Su Mo could further investigate the pet he had obtained, the creature suddenly walked over and made low noises from its mouth.

“Hu hu!

“Master Su Mo!”

“It can talk?” When he heard the slightly awkward but still Huaxian-accented voice, Su Mo’s face was overjoyed, and he rushed over to it at once.

Only then did Su Mo clearly see what type of treasure he had obtained!

It had strong, thick arms and legs. Greyish-yellow fur covered the surface of its skin. Its face was like a dog’s, with a large head and long snout, and its eyes and ears were both rather small. Its molars were large and well-developed—just looking at it, he could imagine its terrifying bite force.

Especially the five sharp claws that extended from each of its paws—he could immediately tell that this guy was not one to provoke.

“It’s a bear?”

“No, Moore is not a bear. Moore is a brave bear clan warrior!”

1

Surprisingly, not only did the bear warrior Moore deny Su Mo’s words, it even affectionately went up and pulled Su Mo into its arms, rubbing its bear head wildly onto Su Mo’s face.

1

Even if he had already been mentally prepared for it, when such a large bear walked up to him, Su Mo still found it hard to suppress his body’s instincts to resist.

Still, Moore’s hugging strength was controlled particularly well. Wrapped in his arms, Su Mo actually felt a wave of warmth.

“Moore… hurry up and let go of me. We have to go out to battle now!”

“Battle! Moore loves battle!”

Hearing Su Mo’s words, Moore the bear warrior looked happy and swiftly released him, following behind him with a face full of excitement.

Taking advantage of this gap, the game panel flashed and, before Su Mo’s eyes, the pet egg’s attributes as well as introduction were displayed.
