My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!

Chapter 87 - A Day In The Sky, A Year On The Ground

[Ginoa Mobile Phone (Good)]

[Description: The Ginoa mobile phone has a simple appearance. It is small and eye-catching, easy to hold, comfortable to use, and durable. After smartphones entered the market, it gradually lost its competitive edge and turned into a novelty within the field of old devices.

[Special Ability:

Signal search: Within 50 kilometers of the signal source, it automatically searches and displays information by species type. Currently stored species information: (Human, Kobold)]

[Comment: Even though grandparents may not know how to properly use a mobile phone, once they pick it up, it’s always you that they’re looking for!]

“It’s a very useful function to search for other shelter camps.” After evaluating it, Su Mo placed the phone next to the power strip and started charging the old-fashioned phone with a USB charging cable.

He tried to check the other items that he brought back but, unfortunately, he could not find other items with special abilities.

“Woof! Woooo!”

“Cuckoo~Cuckoo”

On the other side, Oreo spotted Big Spark and Little Spark, who were looking sluggish in the crop culture room, and called out anxiously.

Stepping into the crop culture room, Su Mo noticed that Big Spark and Little Spark were lying on the ground, and he glanced at the water basin.

“Huh, didn’t I fill these up with water before I left? How are they already empty?”

“Hmm? The tomatoes have sprouted too! But why do these shoots seem to be as off-color as Big Spark and Little Spark?”

Seeing a large number of young shoots growing on the culture medium, Su Mo hurried over to the psychic energy water tank and poured out a few scoops of water. He first refilled some water for Big Spark and Little Spark before watering the culture medium.

The psychic energy water emitted a soft blue color. When it entered the culture medium, it was as if it had become nectar, the yellowing buds turning a fresh green at a rate visible to the naked eye.

After settling everything and confirming that there were no issues, Su Mo returned to the psychic energy water well to collect the accumulated water from yesterday.

But when he collected the water, Su Mo’s expression changed drastically.

The barrel that could store 15 liters of water was now full. Even shaking it a little, caused some water to fall into the well.

15L of water stored overnight?

“Damn it, the flow of time in the ruins may not be six times or even a night. It was more than a day.”

“Today is probably the 11th or even the 12th day of the Doomsday calendar!”

“The growth of the plants on the culture medium, the state of Big Spark and Little Spark. Damn it, I didn’t expect the time difference of the ruins this time could be so terrible!”

Filling the water into the tank, Su Mo sat on the stone bench and focused, summoning the system.

Dong dong!

The illusory timer popped out. When Su Mo checked the panel where today’s survival points should have been displayed, there were three more messages.

[Doomsday Calendar Month 1, Day 10]

[Doomsday Calendar Month 1, Day 11]

[Doomsday Calendar Month 1, Day 12]

“The time has not passed eight o’clock. If that’s the case, I’m afraid that the current date is the 13th day of the Doomsday calendar!”

“The time difference from my venture into the ruins exceeded forty times the normal rate. I spent just two hours in the ruins and over 80 hours have passed outside!!!”

Su Mo turned off the system and opened the chat channel.

He went straight to the Regional Channel and looked at the number of people still alive at this time, which was 812 people.

Before entering the ruins yesterday, Su Mo clearly remembered that there were 890 people on the Regional Channel.

70 people had died overnight?

Shaking his head, Su Mo tried asking on the Regional Channel:

[Su Mo: Does anyone remember what today’s date is on the Earth calendar?]

After he finished the sentence, the Regional Channel that was at first silent suddenly began to get lively.

[Liang Jian: Oh, the Almighty Su was probably too busy and forgot about this. Today is January 4th on the Earth calendar. 10 more days and it will be Chinese New Year!]

[Cai Junfeng: Liang Jian, don’t talk nonsense. The 15th is the new year, and there are 11 days left. It’s been 13 days since we arrived at the wasteland. I’m already used to using the time here.]

[Liang Jian: Bullshit, Almighty Su must be a northerner like us. We northerners celebrate the new year on the 14th of the twelfth lunar month!]

Seeing that the chat channel had started arguing about when the new year was celebrated, Su Mo silently closed the chat panel.

“Surprisingly, 80 hours passed. That’s a lot longer than the 7 hours previously.”

“Is it because I destroyed stuff in the ruins, or because I took too many things at once?”

Sitting on the bench, Su Mo thought about what he had done in the ruins.

If he took into account the “useless” information given by Feng Mengyue before, in addition to the information gathered from the ruins during this period, no one had ever encountered such a terrifying difference in the flow of time.

Of course, none of the people who spoke about the ruins on the World Channel dared to unscrupulously walk into the ruins or carelessly destroy them.

Su Mo swapped to the “friends” panel and started to look for someone who might have more information.

His eyes scanned the list and, among all his friends, Su Mo’s sight locked onto two people.

Li Xiufeng and Chen Pingan.

The former battled with monsters and found the culture medium, whereas the latter was an expert who got their hands on the Monster Illustration Handbook at the beginning and provided materials for the crossbow.

The combat skills of these two people should be up to scratch, and they likely would not have missed out on any chances to enter the ruins.

[Su Mo: Do you have any information on entering the ruins? Let’s discuss.]

Su Mo sent the same message to the both of them simultaneously. Seeing no immediate response in the private message channel, Su Mo could only wait patiently.

“There must be people out there like me, who were daring enough to go out and explore, just that they haven’t shared any information. It would be troublesome if the time difference is calculated according to the degree of damage to the ruins!”

Su Mo thought about the courtyard in the ruins that had still been burning when he left and suddenly felt his scalp go numb.

If it was really measured in the terms of destruction, then if Su Mo actually did fire the Dongfeng Missile and collected the remains inside, then things would have likely changed even more drastically.

Perhaps time would have fast-forwarded four or five hundred days on the Doomsday calendar.

If that happened, while he might accumulate quite a lot of survival points according to his current progress, any benefits he had gained from the early stages would be wiped out.

Even worse, in one or two hundred days, the shelter might have been destroyed by disasters. Even the survival points given by the daily survival environment assessment would disappear in that case.

“Tsk, impulsiveness is of the devil. Although I managed to get a lot of good things this time, time is quickly running out!”

“There are only eight days left before the blizzard disaster arrives!” As Su Mo calculated the time silently in his heart, the feeling of tension arose again.

The problem of the kobold castle had not been resolved. The humans in the saltpeter camp were still enslaved, and there was no sign of any humans in any nearby locations.

Also… regarding the upgrade of the evacuation shelter, the solution to the damaged safe house core had not yet been found.

“Eight days…”

“No more sleep! I will collect toluene and diesel from the Deep-sea Shelter later and try to make a large number of picric acid bombs. I have to quickly clear out the threat of the kobold camp, and…”

“Find a shelter nearby where humans gather!”

Thinking of this, Su Mo’s anxiety calmed down a little and he silently read the system prompts to assess his gains over the past three days.

[Doomsday Calendar Month 1, Day 10]

[You posses the first high-quality, sustainable development resource – Motor-pumped Oil Well (Survival points +100)]

[You have prepared a weapon with a lethality rate of over 100 (Survival points +100)]

[You possess a second shelter and improved its safety (Survival points +200)]

[Scanning host survival environment. Survival points evaluation in progress. 122 survival points gained today.]

Total calculation: Survival points +522

Survival points remaining: 1346

[Doomsday Calendar Month 1, Day 11]

[Scanning host survival environment. Survival points evaluation in progress. 122 survival points gained today.]

Total calculation: Survival point +122

Survival points remaining: 1468

[Doomsday Calendar Month 1, Day 12]

[Scanning host survival environment. Survival points evaluation in progress. 122 survival points gained today.]

Total calculation: Survival point +122

Survival points remaining: 1590

“The total survival points have returned to 1500 points again. It’s too bad. If I could have spent the time outside exploring for those three days, this number would have been higher, but I guess you can’t be too greedy…”

Glancing at the various items in the living room, the LCD TV, and the air conditioner, Su Mo sighed with mixed feelings and prepared to cook.

After obtaining three bags of flour, the pressure of survival had suddenly eased a lot. Su Mo started preparing the familiar and filling gnocchi soup. He was still cooking when…

Ding dong…

The sound of a private message rang…
