My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!

“Oh Zeta, Zeta, you were such a good person! Ah no, I mean a good dragon!”

The matter conversion engine was dark and lustrous. Although all kinds of thick lines intermingled together on its surface, its high-tech aesthetic appearance was not lost. As Su Mo caressed it, he became more and more fond of it; the more he looked, the happier he was. His eyes brightened up as well.

The first time he killed Zeta, he received a silver treasure chest and obtained the blueprint design of the energy bike.

Su Mo had thought that he would only be able to manufacture it during the later stages of technology development on the wasteland. However, at that stage, there would not be too much use for a bicycle.

Yet it was with this design that the harsh conditions for unlocking the matter conversion engine were achieved!

The price of unlocking was naturally the energy bike blueprint design. It acted as a key, and disappeared forever after being consumed by the cube.

However, such a blueprint was insignificant compared to the matter conversion engine in front of him. He had definitely lucked out!

“I originally thought that the engine would be the most difficult part of building a ship that could sail amidst the flood, but now I only need to insert the matter conversion engine in… There will be so much water around, which means that …”

“I possess unlimited energy!!!”

“There are 2000 durability points. If I turn on the engine 12 hours a day and shut it off for the remaining 12 hours, the durability won’t change. This is so much more OP than the special ability ‘Indestructibility’.”

The more he thought about it, the more excited Su Mo became. He picked the engine up and went to the living room on the third floor. He sat down on the sofa and continued his research.

According to his previous vision, using the Destroyer as a template to build a large ship was an unrealistic dream, but now…

He could totally incorporate it into the shelter’s development plan!

Speaking of materials, there were still close to ten thousand units of iron and copper blocks in the shelter. As long as he could find a way to build a furnace, there would be a constant supply of high-strength steel as well as parts.

At that time, even if he wanted to manufacture the shell structure of a large ship and the various internal structures, the materials he had on hand were absolutely more than enough.

As for the heart of the ship, and the most important component of the vessel—the engine, he now had the material conversion engine that could replace it. With it, plus the outboard motor he acquired from the lion people, powering the ship was not a problem as long as he upgraded the size of the outboard motor.

The two most critical points were now addressed, and preparation for the remaining resources were underway.

For the weapons, he had to first build the furnace and acquire the key materials. Next, he could upgrade the thermal weapon laser manufacturing machine to build small and medium-sized weapons and install dozens, or even hundreds, of RPG launchers on the large ship.

If any foreign races came to disrupt his voyage, the RPGs would show no mercy.

As it was one of the most ferocious portable weapons, he would be able to deal with even a sizable group of foreign mythical races.

Accumulating supplies was even easier. After this welfare disaster, he would not need to worry about food even if he ended up floating aimlessly on the water for one or two years.

“Good lord, the material conversion engine single handedly revived my future prospects.”

“I still can’t say that I can build the destroyer in its entirety, but as long as I complete the three main parts, I can ensure my survival through this flood disaster!”

Currently, the shelter was only at Level 3. He would need to survive the welfare disaster before he could upgrade and use the destroyer’s blueprint design.

Looking at the engine in front of him, Su Mo could only suppress his restless heartfirst. He put the engine back and started cooking dinner.

Not long after, Moore came down following the fragrance of the steaming rice. He found Su Mo in a very good mood, cooking with a smile on his face.

After looking at him for a while, Moore touched the back of the head and sat on the ground, laughing stupidly and mimicking Su Mo’s laugh, causing Oreo to roll its eyes.

Of course, Su Mo had reason to be happy—he had just solved a big problem. Su Mo was now full of confidence to face the vision he had seen in the Divulgence of Heaven’s Secret disaster simulation.

He began to cook even faster.

However, the shelter was now short of supplies.

There was little rice and flour left. They could eat for two days at most before the shelter’s supplies were exhausted.

However, the day of harvest was just around the corner, so Su Mo did not skimp on the meal’s ingredients or portions. He pulled out a big pot of springy noodles.

Combined with the vegetables and seasonings that were still available in the shelter, fifteen bowls of extremely filling hot oil noodles were made!

These hot oil noodles were very oily. Even if there was some psychic energy cabbage on the side, these noodles would still be considered extremely oily in modern society.

However, they were great in the doomsday wasteland.

This was Moore’s first time having hot oil noodles. After hesitating briefly, he struggled to swallow the first bite of noodles.

After that, almost without pausing, a storm of slurping sounds echoed throughout the shelter.

During this meal, not including Oreo, Big Spark, and Small Spark, Su Mo and Moore alone finished eight bowls of noodles!

After the springy noodles were consumed, the fragrance of oil and the vegetables still lingered unceasingly in their mouths.

“Moore, oh Moore. After eating so much of the food I cooked, you’ll have to work hard tonight!”

Su Mo patted Moore’s shoulder while the bear was scrubbing pots and pans and washing dishes. Looking at his nodding head, Su Mo laughed and went back to the second floor to prepare the supplies that he would bring over.

First, he had to load the supplies. All the crop seeds had to be brought over first. There would be no problem as long as he freed up some storage space.

Next was the problem of diesel reserves. Su Mo had initially thought that he could purchase large quantities of it on the market.

However, he only managed to obtain 100L of diesel fuel by the time the secret trading realm closed. This fuel was only enough to tide them through the current urgent situation, but did not solve the overall lack of diesel.

“Every day, I have to make a round trip to transport diesel over. In addition, if I have to return, I also have to drive Earth Tiger.”

“So… I’ll drive the Earth Tiger over later and teach Moore how to drive the combine harvester!”

Su Mo happily decided to transform the Lightning Bear warrior into a skilled driver. He hastily selected some weapons and ammunition, and loaded the car. After that, everything was prepared.

It was now half past six at the shelter.

The people at the Candlelight Shelter did not rush him. Even Zhong Qingshu had not sent a single message to him. However, Su Mo knew that they were definitely waiting anxiously.

“Moore, come over quickly, I’ll teach you how to drive!”

The combine harvester was much easier to drive than Earth Tiger because its engine was a single stroke engine, and there was no transmission.

It did not take much effort to teach Moore and, after a while, he could already drive the combine harvester and wander around skilfully.

Due to his height, Moore needed to bend down while driving. Aside from that, he just looked like a regular person driving a car when one looked from a distance.

“Okay, Oreo. Moore can drive because he has hands and feet. You don’t need to try so hard.”

Su Mo did not know if he should cry or laugh when Oreo indicated that she wanted to try driving Earth Tiger. He picked Oreo up, put her in the passenger seat, and reassured her.

After Su Mo closed the garage gate and double-checked that everything was brought along, the two steel beasts officially set off.

Now the snow had turned completely solid under the sunlight and formed an icy surface. The vehicles relied on the snow chains to grip the surface and trundled along at a rapid pace.

The sun was gradually setting in the distance, and the “night carnival” on the wasteland was about to start.

The price of the various seeds on the market kept falling rapidly under Su Mo’s influence.

Take spring wheat as an example. After Su Mo’s massive purchase, it dropped from the initial 15 times to eight times their weight in food. Recently, it had fallen to four times their weight in food, and the decline had not slowed down at all.

Those who could not afford seeds were waiting for the first people who managed to cultivate excellent-quality crops to achieve their first harvest.

Those who could afford seeds were eager as well. They took out all their supplies in preparation for a buying spree. They sat on the ground, biding their time until the opportune moment.

The plains surrounding the Candlelight Shelter were no exception.

In the eyes of everyone in the outside world, they were the luckiest shelter because they were situated next to Su Mo’s shelter.

Candlelight Shelter had also tilled 240 mu of farmland thanks to the excavator. They would be able to sow the seeds as soon as they received them.

The people sat on the high slopes overlooking the fields they tilled. All of them were chatting, but their wandering eyes betrayed them; straying toward the distance in the direction where Su Mo usually appeared!

They were both anxious and eager, as twenty of those torches, that were the universal reward for surviving the blizzard disaster, were lit up all over the area, illuminating their surroundings and driving the darkness away.

“Brother Shen, Almighty Su didn’t forget about us, right? The plots are all tilled, but we don’t have any seeds…”

After another ten minutes or so of sitting on the ground, a 17-year-old teen finally could not help himself and quietly spoke out.

However, just as he uttered those words, before Chen Shen could reply, the middle-aged man on the side knuckled him on the head.

“Kid, even if the Almighty Su does not come, that is because he’s busy. We all have to wait!”

“We only managed to till so much land for planting due to him. It’s because he held us in high regard. Can’t you even be patient for just a short while? Ah, if you bring this up again, you’re really being ungrateful!”

“That’s right! Those excellent-quality seeds would cost a lot of money if others wanted to buy them, but now Almighty Su is giving them to us for free…”

“Almighty Su is here!!!”

Wow!

Everyone who had been just scolding the teen stood up in an instant with a clamor after hearing those words.

Following the direction of the man’s finger, they looked toward the place where Su Mo usually appeared. Two sets of car headlights shone brightly.

In the darkness of the night, the headlights were like candle flames, instantly igniting the torch in the hearts of all the refugees!

In the hearts of everyone, flames were…

Ignited!

“Everyone, listen to the slogan and stand up!”

After Wu Feiguang humbly stepped down, the Candlelight Shelter’s leader was now the younger Chen Shen.

As he received Su Mo’s endorsement, hundreds of refugees began to move in unison, listening to his instructions even though Chen Shen was only a young man in his twenties.

Within four or five seconds, the refugees, who had just been sitting on the ground in disarray, began to line up neatly.

“All of you, look to the left and count!”

The two cars carrying the “flames” were already close at hand. The refugees were all excited, and their voices, as they counted, became louder and louder.

However…

As two cars were approaching, and all the refugees clearly saw the outlines of the two vehicles, they suddenly fell quiet.

Silence, ultimate silence!

Aside from the rustling sound of the breeze blowing across the ground, it was quiet. Even the refugees’ breathing stopped for a few moments.

This appearance also confused the leadership team of Candlelight Shelter.

All of them turned their heads in wonder at the sight of the large vehicle that Moore was driving.

This time, not only were the refugees dumbfounded, but even Chen Shen, Wu Feiguang, Qi Qin, and the others as well.

“This… This is…”

“A combine harvester!”
