My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!

Doomsday Calendar Month 4 Day 8, humans had been in the doomsday wasteland for 98 days, which was 11 more days until the arrival of the long winter.

There were only two more days before the 100-day mark since humans left the civilized world and returned to the wilderness.

Since six o'clock in the morning, the temperature gradually dropped again.

The sun that had just risen was like a refrigerator lamp and could not bring any warmth.

Today was an average day like usual.

It was an average day where nothing significant happened or changed in the eyes of the human survivors.

As usual, they repeated their tasks, continuing their work from sunrise and resting when the sun had set. They worked hard to increase their chances of survival.

The words "tomorrow" and "future" were such luxury terms to them.

However, a "small" change had occurred within the basin.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the villagers gradually started to wake up to wash up, one after another. They quickly took notice of the isolation belt that surrounded the underground shelter.

The eye-catching red warnings that surrounded the boundaries of the shelter alerted every creature that came close.

The villagers who were late to join the basin were slightly uneasy with such an overwhelming scenario.

However, the older villagers who had moved to the basin from Candlelight Village had an opposite reaction.

The last time the basin had such a huge accomplishment was when Hope One had just been completed.

Since then, the basin had grown significantly with great speed. Su Mo had received the title of King of Humans because of the significant accomplishments of Hope One which cruised the sea.

Seeing such a huge commotion in the basin…

That would mean…

"Everyone better prepare yourselves and be at your best today! The shelter leader is preparing us for an important matter! Don't listen to any gossip or rumors if you're still unaware of the plans. Everyone will be rewarded accordingly when the time comes!

"Do your part properly, and don't let the shelter leader's efforts for us go to waste!"

Chen Shen stood at the village entrance and shouted while beating on the gongs and drums.

Hearing his words, everyone started to do their work effectively.

After breakfast at eight o'clock, more than 1000 people dispersed in a flash and quickly returned to their posts that they had been delegated to the night before.

The leaders grabbed some breakfast and opened the isolation belt to enter, after seeing that the surrounding area had already been completely cleared.

Unlike typical days, everyone wore a severe expression and rarely made any small talk.

Although they had seen and walked through the shelter's main door countless times in the past, every time they gazed at it from afar, they were still overwhelmed by it.

It was unbelievable every time they thought about how someone could build such a fortress within the first few dozen days of the apocalypse.

Even now, if they were to gather all the villagers to set up such an underground shelter, it would still be tough.

Li Hu stepped forward to the main entrance and gently knocked on it.

After a while, a slight creaking sound could be heard as the gate was raised, revealing Lu Kuan's grinning face.

They did not exchange many words after handing over breakfast. Lu Kuan nodded, and the main gate was lowered again, making a heavy and loud "thud".

"Come on, let's go. We won't be of much help by staying here either and might even make things harder for them.

"In short, I'll raise both hands in agreement to whatever the shelter leader has in mind, and if he wants to launch an attack, I'll be the first to charge to the forefront!

"All of you better immediately bury whatever thoughts you may have after what you've just seen."

Li Hu, who was in charge, did not mind Lu Kuan's indifferent attitude. Instead, he shrugged his shoulders and walked out of the isolation belt first.

It was always the lively Moore who would open the main door without any exceptions in the past.

However, today it was Lu Kuan who was at the door. It was apparent that Moore would be involved in the plans that were happening soon.

At a glance, everyone noticed the various machines that were inside and on top of that, they had a one-kilometer isolation belt surrounding the area.

Those who were quick could easily guess that this had something to do with the "experiments".

However, smart individuals were also ones who often "act dumb". After Li Hu's warning, everyone nodded and quickly made their leave.

Soon, the area within the isolation belt returned to complete silence.

…

"Su Mo, our food is here! Let's eat first!"

Lu Kuan quickly descended three floors as he held onto the two large food boxes.

As soon as he reached the ground floor, he saw Moore meditating with Su Mo.

The marks contained a slight amount of the gods' power. This was the first time attempting to use different means to fuse the mark onto another person's body.

Even Su Mo himself was unsure of the side effects of such means.

On top of that, because Moore was involved in the experiment, Su Mo was extremely cautious and detailed about it.

He had taken a long time to guide Moore into relaxing and maintaining a good mental state since the night before.

The Genie's Magic Flying Carpet had also been spread under Moore to allow him to achieve the best state.

Su Mo did not use the psychic energy water collected by the people sparingly.

Since the night before, he had stuffed Moore full of the psychic energy water to ensure he had stored enough energy for the experiment.

Su Mo had used every means he could to improve Moore's state.

He was confident that with the mysterious system as their support, they would be able to keep Moore safe as long as they did not get greedy with the fusion.

"Okay, we'll start the experiment right after eating!"

The quick-minded Su Chan had already rushed out of the bedroom and took the breakfast from Lu Kuan's hands, then began to set it up on the table.

It was a simple breakfast that consisted of porridge, pickles, steamed buns, and spring onion mutton.

Although Su Mo had not made any special requests, the villagers had spontaneously made a rule to prepare a complete meal that included meat for him.

Su Mo finished his breakfast with anxious thoughts. Afterward, he guided Moore, Oreo, and Su Chan down to the garage and closed the stone door leading down toward it.

"Moore, go ahead and lie down first. We'll conduct a brief analysis of your body composition to determine the best compatibility for you!"

Su Mo led Moore to lie down on the newly remodeled machine in the center of the garage.

The robot's eyes blanked out, and Lu Kuan disappeared.

Yan Xiaqing, the medical expert, had taken over the body.

Unlike Lu Kuan's somewhat unfamiliar movements, she was highly skilled in controlling the "old" machine and was extremely reassuring.

Buzz…

Buzz…

The overwhelming electrical current began to be transmitted through the wires and the 300KW generator set up on the second floor of the underground shelter began to output its full power.

Unlike the 50KW generators in the village, this modular generator obtained at the beginning of the apocalypse was very handy.

This generator would sustain itself even if the electrical consumption of the shelter had increased, as long as the energy resources were sufficient.

"Subject: Moore

"Physical Value Analysis is detected to be 72.46, seven times higher than an average human being.

"Cellular Activity Value is detected to be 3.96, forty times higher than an average human being. Cells have a strong ability to divide and replicate. Cells can repair and regenerate within a short period of time.

"Energy Component is more than 67 percent similar to a human being, and the remaining 33 percent is still matching…

"Blood Component Analysis shows that the similarity with humans is higher than 95 percent. Blood type is identified as O and consists of a small amount of foreign blood component which does not affect the original nature of blood.

"In vivo radiological imaging is in progress…"

Yan Xiaqing would announce each test result aloud as it came out.

The analysis showed that Moore's physique was seven times stronger than a normal human being. His strength was approximately 30% greater than a human, which was a terrifying trait.

The ultra-high cellular activity meant that even if Moore were to get hurt, it was difficult for him to get infected.

Additionally, his wound healing ability was incredibly fast, surpassing more than 99% of living beings!

The various analysis became more detailed and precise as time passed.

Yan Xiqing had prepared herself before the experiment, but she still could not calm down as she viewed the series of unbelievable data.

"Moore is already in his best state. There won't be significant improvements even if we wait a little longer.

"I recommend giving Moore high-intensity oxygen for half an hour if possible before we start the fusion.

"As for the energy components, we've detected three abnormalities!"

The pieced-together machine looked worn-out, but its efficiency should not be underestimated. It integrated most of the analyzing and detection functions in modern medical equipment.

Yan Xiaqing pointed to red signs with exclamation marks and paused for a moment.

"Okay, let's begin the oxygen inhalation right now and discuss the data in the conference room."

Su Mo pulled out the oxygen machine in the garage corner and placed it over Moore's head. He smiled, looking at Moore's peaceful expression dozing off, before closing his eyes.

The next moment, the garage disappeared, and the space around them changed into a conference room that was already filled with people.

There were stacks of documents the height of half a human in front of them, which consisted of various data and emergency plans.

The researchers showed 200% enthusiasm, knowing that they could regain their human form.

"Su Mo, we've analyzed the data, and Yan Xiqing's suspicion was right, but now we need different data!"

Zhuo Junfan spoke out as the representative of the research scholars, and the initially heated discussion in the conference room came to a stop.

"What kind of data?"

"Before this, we've only been able to make guesses before we could analyze Moore's data, but now we've made a ground-breaking discovery! How should I put this? Let's say that the gods' power is a terrifying cold weapon that humans could never wield because its power would backfire on us.

"That leaves us with only two options left. The first would be to strengthen ourselves and achieve terrifyingly high levels of physical fitness to control the power of gods.

"The second option would be to use… external force!"

Zhuo Junfan waved his hands in the air after a slight pause.

"Moore's case is the first scenario. His physical fitness is constantly improving significantly. How should I explain… Okay, I'll use an example to make it easier to understand. The movie 'Avengers', which exists on your Earth, has a creature called the Hulk. Comparing the power of the gem to the gods' power, the only reason Hulk could withstand the power of the gem is because his physical fitness had met the requirement to wield the power.

"However, Iron Man could also withstand the power, not because of his physical fitness but because of… external force!"

These researchers who could only stay in the brain box relied on learning about the different cultures of the universe as relaxation in their free time.

Zhuo Junfan made a clear example to state the difference between the two.

"Wait. That means Moore could transform because his physical fitness met a certain standard. It would be impossible to copy the data and implant it on other people…"

"Yes, that's the conclusion we've reached based on the current data." Zhuo Junfan nodded.

"However, nothing is impossible. There is actually a hidden component in Moore's body which I highly suspect is the reason he is able to control his power!"

Su Mo could vaguely understand the reason even without Zhuo Junfan explaining it in full detail.

The lightning bear clans have a god's power in them, and it makes sense for them to have a similar genetic component.

Assuming that this gene was the so-called hidden component used to control divine power, it would be impossible to copy it.

Unless…

"It is possible that we humans had once wielded the power of gods, meaning that there is a controller inside our bodies that has the potential to adapt to it.

"Su Mo, if you're willing…

"The best experiment subject isn't Moore but…you!"

The entire conference room fell silent after such blatant and straightforward words were said.

Everyone turned their eyes away and tried to relocate themselves in another direction.

They were aware of what it would mean to replace the experiment subject with Su Mo.

"Can our machine identify and analyze the controller?"

Su Mo wavered, and his mind was full of thoughts after he heard the explanation by Zhuo Junfan.

The Immortal God of Huaxia who had vanished, the thieves that left behind "Stealing the Day, Changing the Light", the sins of the righteous thieves, the mysterious relics of time, and the world outside the incubator…

The new information obtained began to form a complete puzzle.

Su Mo recalled the time when he was separated by the thick frosted glass and used the power of gods.

There was a key to unlock this puzzle in front of him that he could have achieved if he reached out to grab it.

"The data we acquired can only be used as a guideline. Strictly speaking, whatever we shared was only our guesses. We don't have any examples to refer to, let alone data to verify our hypothesis."

"We're completely clueless and need you to explore and feel it yourself to find the answer."

Zhuo Junfan shrugged his shoulders with an expression full of uncertainty.

A scientist's creation comes partially from a solid foundation of data, while the other half comes from a rich imagination and creativity.

However, the research scholars were terrified to think about experimenting on their leader to verify their hypothesis.

'It's up to me to find out?' Su Mo's heart pounded heavily as the possibilities filled his mind.

However, he maintained his long-standing habit and took a deep breath to calm himself before he spoke again.

"Can the experiment be terminated at will?"

"Yes, we can stop the stimulation at any time and guarantee your safety to the greatest extent."

"Okay, then we shouldn't delay any further. Prepare to begin the experiment on me!"

Su Mo was different from the rest. He was able to control his mark.

It was unavoidable that more and more people would gain the authority to obtain marks over time as they accumulated survival points.

However…

The system did not give them the chance to see the hidden components of an individual.

Countless thoughts flashed through Su Mo's mind. He suddenly recalled the numerous soul-shaking experiences as he used his authority.

Assuming that the frosted glass represented the complex composition of a human body, the key element to finding the controller would be whatever was behind the frosted glass.

It would be possible to see through the frosted glass once you find and stimulate the key component!

There was a high possibility that if Su Mo accumulated more than 51% authority, he could see…

The real world!
