My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!

Liu Cheng immediately reported the newly discovered fact after calling the excited Li Hu, who observed them from a distance.

Through the gap they created was a combination lock that looked overwhelmingly complicated.

From left to right, there were twelve rows with incomprehensible symbols on them.

Just above the symbol sequence was a copper lever that could be triggered.

It was easy to open such locks.

The twelve rows with symbols had to be in their appropriate position, and the lever had to be pressed down, causing the mechanism inside to unlock itself.

Upon successfully unlocking the door, the lock plate placed inside would also begin functioning to pull or push open the door, making room for entry or exit.

The method was very old-fashioned but highly reliable.

There was no need to rely on any facilities that required energy, nor would there be any reliability issues that would occur.

The only tricky part was that…

"I even know how to make this lock!

"However, it doesn't make me automatically capable of cracking it. There are only three input chances, and the mechanism will complete lock itself after three attempts!"

Liu Chem's expression was solemn as he turned the combination lock and felt the smooth damping that came from it.

"Are you sure humans made the lock?"

"I'm a hundred percent sure about it, Captain. Here, take a look. There's even a sign to signify the owner's identity!"

Liu Cheng took out a rag from the tool bag around his waist and carefully wiped lubricating oil on the copper lever.

As the black stains faded, the so-called ownership rights gradually emerged on the cylindrical plug's circle.

The symbols that were uncovered were not unfamiliar to Liu Cheng and Li Hu.

It was a combination of uppercase and lowercase alphabets in English!

Li Hu tilted his head in confusion and began to read out each alphabet in sequence.

"A…

"S…

"M…

"L…

"Mmd…

"Huh? What is this supposed to mean?"

…

The sun began to set at a view from the foot of Five Finger Mountain.

It was already seven in the evening, and as the last rays of the sunset faded away, Feng Mengyue finally arrived with 300 residents from the Mountain Moon Village.

The two soldiers Su Mo left at their temporary campsite heard the movement from afar.

They stood on higher ground and shook their heads calmly after spotting the team approaching.

The atmosphere was completely different from the expedition team, which was always serious and vigilant.

The team led by Feng Mengyue were amateurs, and most of them chatted, occasionally laughing while they traveled as if they were out for an outing.

There was a great difference.

On the other side, Feng Mengyue's team crossed the high slipe and spotted the soldiers who stayed behind to wait for them as well as the traces of their temporary camp that was not far from them.

"Argh. Did Almighty Su leave already?"

One of the two soldiers who stayed back approached and said with a smile, "Lord Feng, our shelter leader already left with the team three or four hours ago. They might have already come in contact with the two territories on Five Finger Mountain by now."

"So soon?"

Feng Mengyue muttered as she glanced at the scattered footprints in the snow in surprise.

"I heard that Almighty Su had found a large amount of treasure around here? Could you lead me to it?"

"Yes, please follow after me!" The soldier nodded with a smile.

After speaking, without giving Feng Mengyue a chance to continue inquiring further, the two soldiers turned around decisively and began to lead the way forward.

Feng Mengyue was taken aback by their behavior toward her and could not help but feel slightly dissatisfied.

She naturally accepted whatever behavior or attitude Su Mo had toward her, whether it was friendly or disdainful.

After all, he was the Almighty Su.

However, she was once a territory lord with thousands of residents under her compared to these ordinary soldiers of Su Mo.

It hurt her ego, and she was infuriated by how she was neglected and disrespected.

'Let me see how many supplies you guys discovered to act so proud!'

Feng Mengyue sneered in her heart, the smile on her face subsided, and an authoritative aura began to radiate from her.

The Mountain Moon villagers sensed the fluctuating emotions of their territory lord and gradually stopped their chatter, shutting their mouths and lowering their heads as they advanced.

For a time, except for the sound of people slipping to the ground occasionally because of the slippery snow, the atmosphere of the entire team was incredibly dull.

"Lord Feng, over there is where we store the supplies.

"Our shelter leader specially asked us to pass on the message to be careful when you return to the village since the mountain road will be hazardous at night!"

After crossing another slope, the two soldiers stopped and smiled.

Seeing their smiling faces made it hard for her to take out her anger on them.

Despite the anger in her heart, Feng Mengyue had no choice but to nod her head stiffly and finish climbing the last slope.

Following the soldier's direction, she glanced at the loot for the first time.

At one glance, Feng Mengyue froze and was surprised!

"This is…!"

…
