My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!

Chapter 412: Version 3.0, Real Survival!

After Hope One came to a standstill, the remaining 15 thousand foreign races in the distance broke out into a small commotion.

It was just that the commotion was drowned out by the cheers of the human survivors, resulting in many people forgetting about their existence.

After all, since Almighty Su had arrived, these foreign races were as good as dead In the eyes of the survivors.

Their fate had already been written in stone; the only difference was whether they would die sooner or die later.

However, at this moment, when Lu Yongyi saw Su Mo smiling and looking at those foreign races with excitement, he could not help but rub his hands in anticipation, but refrained from speaking.

The state of a human’s psyche was contagious.

As Su Mo had completely relaxed after being reunited with his sister, the people around him were also infected by his good mood. They felt as if they had returned to Earth and, for a while, everyone gained some much needed relief.

The feeling of peace and safety was hard to come by for these people on the wasteland.

Lu Yongyi was not an ambitious person. He was more than happy to stand behind someone powerful.

At 1.50 am, Moore brought the captains back on deck.

Su Mo clapped his hands and called out to Li Li, “Go, get someone to bring me the set of audio equipment in the ship’s warehouse and… bring the microphones to the deck for me!”

He wanted to have some background music playing before he pulled off something big.

For human beings, language might not fully convey what a person wanted to express, but music would, especially when paired with the Eternal Flame Lamp that had yet to be turned on.

Su Mo believed that once this crazy plan, which had been prepared for many days, really unfolded, human beings on this wasteland would embark on a journey of progress and growth.

“Su Mo, I’ll bring my people back first. The game will be updated soon and, if an accident occurs, it’ll be troublesome if no one is around to manage the situation.”

“After this disaster is over, let’s have a drink together. I still have a lot of good things in my place.”

“Okay, Old Lu. I’ll take care of everything.”

One by one, he shook hands with the captains who were on the frontlines of the war of resistance. Su Mo laughed when he saw everyone’s excited expressions. It felt like he was a celebrity meeting his fans.

In the civilized era, it was more difficult for ordinary people to stand out.

However, in this wild and savage wasteland era, as long as one grasped the right opportunity and moment, anyone could stand at the peak, which was something that they would never have dared to dream about before.

After sending off all the captains one by one, Su Mo saw that there were only a few minutes remaining until the game update. He was not in a hurry, and took his time bringing Su Chan over to the captain’s quarters on the third floor.

“Just stay here later. Don’t go out even if anything happens outside.”

Su Chan blinked. “Brother, are you going to do something big again? The last time you slew… When you slew that god, I saw your performance on the game live broadcast stream.”

“I would have called you dashing if you weren’t my brother. Do you know those 18 to 40-year-old women in the Tundra Shelter were all mesmerized by you? Tsk tsk tsk, but since you are my brother…”

Su Mo glared at her. “So you were lying when you said on the phone back then that I looked handsome?”

Su Chan blushed and avoided his gaze. “Oh, don’t pay attention to such details. I have to say, Brother, you look really awesome when you are acting all high and mighty, but… something’s missing. You don’t seem to exude enough presence. Perhaps this time you can…”

“…”

“Oh, by the way, you will have to come up with a few more slogans when the time comes. How can you not shout out some slogans when you arrive on the scene?”

As someone who was born in the late-2000s, Su Chan’s ideas were very strange. They basically catered to the needs and tastes of ‘youngsters’.

The hero in her mind had to show up with special effects, exuding a murderous aura while waving their hands. If they had a glorious speech and a domineering slogan, then it would look even better.

In short, if a hero was too individualistic, then the people from the newer generation like them would not like them.

However, if a hero epitomized an awakening or greatness, then that hero would be deified by the youngsters.

Su Mo understood what Su Chan was getting at, but for Su Mo, an old guy born in the early-1990s, the way he would express this was…

“To be honest, I’m going to sing a song…”

Su Chan, “D*mn it…”

Just like that, Su Mo put down his headset in satisfaction as he looked at the shocked expression on Su Chan’s face. Then, he walked out of the captain’s quarters and swaggered out.

So what if he sang? Who said that he wasn’t allowed to sing if his singing sounded bad?

We’re playing rock and roll, baby!

Why would something major always happen after Mr. Wang released his new song? It was simply because rock and roll was bad*ss!

…

Three minutes later, as Su Mo was sitting on the beach chair at the bow of the ship and listening for the notification from the game, the game’s update progress finally reached 99.9%. Su Mo had an idea and quickly summoned the game panel.

The sudden variation in the current number of creatures was extremely abnormal if one referred to the previous records of the game’s ‘contestants’.

This round’s human beings were too good at the game, and it had led to many unreasonable differences in the gameplay and rules set by the game1.

Setting the other things aside, there had been a huge bug that had caused the number of living organisms to plummet during this war on the ocean.

In just two months, after detecting that the human’s strength had reached a certain standard, the game had changed the rules and directly initiated the ocean version.

However, if they were to talk about strength, in these two months, human beings had not even passed the novice stage. They had nothing and had only managed to build vessels by collecting and piecing things together.

If one took one glance at the vessels sailing on the ocean, it could be seen that 60% of human beings were still using the rafts converted from the game’s shelter core.

For foreign races, their strength had basically not improved much either in these two months.

This was even more so when over 80% of the foreign races had been infected with the Superpower Suppressant. After three months, they would definitely not be able to meet the energy requirements to maintain their sanity, and would definitely turn into bloodthirsty ‘zombies’.

This had led to them entering a ‘dead end’ situation even before the game had truly started.

This situation was definitely beyond the expectations of the game, which was why it started the update without any warning.

Mysteriously and inexorably, Su Mo had a feeling that the version 3.0 update of the game would bring a major change in the wasteland.

It would either be a form of support so that all living creatures would get a second chance at life, or it would be death and destruction, seeking to restart the entire game scenario with a new batch of living creatures.

After the update finished and the annoying update interface finally disappeared, Su Mo did not hesitate and activated the game panel to start checking things out.

“Oh? This is huge!”

“Just as I predicted, this son of a b*tch game has begun to play dirty tricks on us!”

Su Mo frowned as he listened to the beeping sounds in his ear and looked at most of the functions on the game panel that now had question marks on them. Then, a cautious look appeared on his face.

[Record]: It has been detected that the current death toll of living creatures (humans: 39%, foreign races: 27%) far exceeds the predicted value. The game will make the necessary adjustments automatically and issue a version update.

[Record]: The third version update will automatically be installed in the current wasteland world after ten days.

[Record]: The third world version is about real survival! The first trailer is coming in hot.

[Record]: It has been detected that, according to the current progress of the game, the probability of extinction of the human race is 96.8%, and the probability of extinction for the foreign races is 99.9% within the next 100 days. All living creatures will get the right to vote and request certain interventions during the next seven disasters. Please view the specific entry to check out the relevant information!

[Record]: A major loophole in the game rules has been detected. In order to thank all players for verifying and remedying it, this update will issue certain rewards for the players’ contributions in addressing the loophole. For more details of the rewards, please view the specific entry to check out the relevant information!

[Record]: Congratulations to the human player ‘Su Mo’. It has been detected that your contribution value is ranked first among all living creatures. You can use the game panel to view your reward and compensation. Happy gaming!

The six announcement notifications indicated that the game had thoroughly discovered the shortcomings of going by the rulebook, and that this version 3.0 update was a patch fix.

Within the next 100 days, the probability of extinction of both the humans and foreign races exceeded 95%.

To a certain extent, this update indicated that the game had given up on continuing to push everyone forward along its predetermined route.

However, in a sense, the game had not completely given up on all living creatures and chosen to restart the scenario either.

Perhaps it was due to the discovery of this so-called loophole that the game temporarily gave the current wasteland creatures a chance.

However, as he looked at the words ‘real survival’ and thought of the game functions that were now covered in question marks, a conjecture that was anything but reassuring gradually formed in Su Mo’s heart.

He focused his thoughts and tapped on it quickly. Then the game interface transformed smoothly.

It looked almost the same as the last ocean update trailer. Except for a video, the trailer for real survival did not include any written hints.

With a sinking heart, Su Mo immediately organized his thoughts and tapped into it to start reading and observing.

Unlike the last time, when the game had spent half an hour elaborating on the legend of the God of the Ocean, the game seemed to have accepted its fate and went straight into the subject-matter.

“To survive and return to nature, living creatures will traverse the wilderness and swaps, wandering between hope and despair.”

“In the face of a natural disaster, one should use their tenacious will…”

“…”

The droning voice sounded like a spell being chanted. Almost every sentence conveyed a large amount of information about the version update.

After the droning voice concluded, new notification prompts began to pop up.

[Record]: After the installation of the third version ‘Real Survival’, a large number of functions in the current game panel will be restricted/no longer available/charged. The specific list is as follows:

Chat (World Channel/No longer available, Level restrictions for Regional Channels/Unlocked at Shelter Lv4/charged, Private message/No longer available, Disaster Resistance Channel/Charged)

Trading market (No longer available)

Creation (No longer available (Below Rare)/Charged (Rare and above))

Storage space (Charged/Per-use)

Appraisal service (No longer available (Below Rare)/Charged (Rare and above))

…

[Record]: The new disaster cycle will no longer be regulated according to the number of creatures. It is fixed at 7 days/minor disaster, 14 days/regular disaster, and 28 days/major disaster. Players can cast their votes for the disaster sequence selection but, after the selection is confirmed, the option will enter a locked state. It will be unlocked after three selection cycles are completed.

[Record]: The new disaster intensity will be adjusted according to the player’s location, specifically: New World (100%) / within 1000-5000 kilometers away from the New World (80%) / 5000-10000 kilometers away from the New World (60%) / 10000 kilometers away from the New World (40%).

[Record]: The new reward mechanism will be regulated according to the player’s location, specifically: New World (Yes)/Outside the New World (No).

[Record]: The arrival of new players will encourage more competition between species.

[Record]: The introduction of new buildings, ruins, scenarios, and environments will provide more opportunities for the courageous, specifically: New World (Yes) / Outside the New World (No).

[Record]: New rule settings, the production of items/tools/weapons/armor using the game creation function… will incur a charge each time, depending on the rarity of the item.

[Record]: New shelter setting (implemented after 30 days). Players will not be allowed to leave the vicinity of the shelter, within a certain range, after placing the shelter. This limit increases in tandem with the shelter level (Lv1: 50 km/Lv2: 70 km/Lv3: 90km/…). If the player exceeds the allowable range for more than 24 hours, the shelter core will automatically reset to its initial state. The shelter’s level will be reduced back to one, and can be bound by any player.

This update was completely different from the previous one. In addition to the deactivation of certain game panel and shelter core functions, the new version update was very complex and complicated!

Even the preview only provided a brief introduction of the clauses and sub-clauses.

However, before Su Mo had finished looking through and analyzing the purpose and intention behind these specific updates, the sky outside quickly changed color.

Countless brilliant and dazzling auroras flashed lit up the night sky.

Similar to the descent of the Heavenly Dog Pseudo God last time, the wasteland sky was once again torn open like a curtain, and a rift was formed.

However, it was also different from last time. This time, the rift was no longer small, or singular. Instead, five giant rifts were distributed neatly in five different directions.

This extraordinary scene could be clearly seen no matter where one was on the wasteland.

Below, all the survivors of the Tundra fleet also came back to their senses after the shock of the game update. They were watching the sudden scene play out in the sky above, and could not stop themselves from shouting.

No one knew what was going to happen next, but Su Mo, who had expected this scene from the beginning, stood up slowly.

“It’s finally time for this war between humans and foreign races to come to a conclusion!”
