My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!

Chapter 456 Meeting People From Home, Brings Tears to Both Eyes

One could only rise from the ashes after death.

The most dangerous place possible would naturally be the safest.

These two thoughts rang in Su Mo’s mind after landing on the Land of Death.

Thanks to the magic carpet, he encountered no danger and successfully touched down on the ground.

He carefully sidestepped the untimely burst of flames from below, and stood atop a huge boulder. Su Mo started looking out far and wide to try to identify any existing abnormalities.

At this time, the Geiger counter on the protective suit had almost reached its limit, it almost felt like it would explode. It emitted constant warning noises.

Perhaps not enough time had passed since the bombardment, resulting in the high radiation levels that had yet to disperse.

Or...

Perhaps both the number and payload of the nuclear weapons used had simply been that terrifying!

After some contemplation, while Su Mo could not make an absolute judgment between the two possibilities, his heart and mind gravitated toward the latter.

This place right here was just as Lu Kuan had expected, it had suffered a terrible nuclear bombardment previously.

That resulted in this place being unable to recover its vitality up till now.

“God of the Ocean is really quite daring. If it were me, I would never have the guts to hide in this spot.”

There were many signs.

In addition to taking in the scene before him, he thought through a few key findings. Su Mo had a concrete guess on the God of the Ocean’s hiding spot.

It was similar to his childhood days, when his mom would try all that she could to stop him from sneakily playing video games.

It was similar to how she would put the gaming console in his school bag so that he would not be able to find it during the holidays, all the way until he had to go to school.

If the God of the Ocean wanted to conceal himself perfectly, he would have to hide in some place the game knew about, but would never explore.

Stepping off the boulder, he did not immediately search for the God of the Ocean’s hiding spot. Instead, Su Mo first took out the instrument to collect some soil, after which he trotted towards the water’s edge and used the other instrument to collect some water.

After collecting those samples, he wiped off the steam building up inside his protective suit and dived into the scarlet-red ocean.

In comparison with wasteland’s ocean water, the water in this blood-red ocean was amazingly viscous, and had incredible resistance.

However, it did not cause Su Mo any trouble thanks to his immense strength. He kept on swimming deeper into the center of the ocean as fast as he could.

Once he got close to the center of the ocean, a “familiar” building appeared before his eyes. According to the info he obtained once becoming the Oracle of the God of the Ocean, this was once a residence of the God of the Ocean. It was where all the gods that governed the ocean assembled.

Years and years had gone by and, now, no traces of life could be seen in this place. The deserted building looked undeniably strange when set against the backdrop of the scarlet-red ocean water.

He continued to swim forward until he reached the stone steps of the building. He then steadied himself and went inside.

The miracle was that even though the ocean water outside surrounded the building, inside, it was like walking on land. It was somehow separated from the ocean water and was bone dry.

Even the Geiger counter had stopped issuing warning noises, indicating that all the radiation had dissipated within the building.

He took out a flashlight and scanned the surroundings using its light.

Su Mo slowly took off the helmet of the protective suit and greedily breathed in a mouthful of depressing, stagnant air. The next second, Su Mo made no movement whatsoever.

There was a faint blue flickering light lit up in the main hall, which automatically attached itself onto his body just like a shadow.

From his shadow, and then onto his legs, his body and then finally his head, the blue light felt like a complex scanner that leisurely inspected his entire body.

“What now? Are you gonna check to see if the game sent me? Do you think that I’m a spy?” He was enthralled by the light like a child. He even jumped up and down during the scanning process. He had accurately guessed what was going on and thus asked impatiently.

A drawn-out voice rang out with joy from within the main hall.

“Hahaha! I didn’t think I’d be able to come across someone from home! Brother, don’t be angry with me! Am I not just being careful?”

“What was that old saying? One can never be too careful. I’ve gone into hiding for so long, so I can’t just let the old dog find me so easily!”

It was the first time he met a living, breathing wasteland authority “shareholder”.

Hearing the fluent Huaxian being spoken, Su Mo was not even surprised. He even grinned a little.

re

He already was almost a hundred percent sure of the situation after confirming that this God of the Ocean’s kingdom had suffered from a nuclear disaster.

If a nuclear bomb could be detonated here, there were only two possibilities.

Firstly, it might have been the game’s doing.

The game could have directly launched a nuclear bomb here through some unknown method.

Su Mo immediately rejected this possibility as the evidence indicated that more than ninety percent of the wasteland’s landmass had been blown to smithereens and turned into rubble. If the game truly had such power, it would make no sense for it to not somehow at least try to stop the destruction.

Hence, after excluding this possibility, there was only one other explanation. The place had been wrecked by the God of the Ocean himself!

“Hey brother! Come on in. I’ve not seen a living human in ages!”

After the echoes of this man’s rich, thick voice stopped reverberating, a gap opened up unexpectedly in the main hall, which revealed a pathway leading downward.

Again, without any reservations, Su Mo stepped inside and headed downward.

After a while, as the flight of stairs came to an end, Su Mo saw a slightly empty room when he turned the corner.

Su Mo saw the other party and the other party saw Su Mo.

The difference was that Su Mo was a physical being, but the “thing” that was talking was-a bluish phantom!

“Hehe, I believe that it’s the first time we’re meeting. I’m Jiang Chu, a member of the Xia Kingdom of Tai Hang Universe No. 29!”

“Nice to meet you. I’m Su Mo from Huaxia. As for which universe I’m from, I’m not so sure myself...”

The phantom could not interact with a physical being like Su Mo, but once it stepped forward, both men’s palms still clasped each other’s “tightly”.

Once he heard Su Mo’s words, Jiang Chu still seemed happy, “Man, you’re already a God and you still don’t know which universe you’re from? You wouldn’t happen to be part of the recently summoned human faction, right?”

Su Mo replied, “Erm, it would be more accurate to say that it’s been three months since I’ve been summoned over!”

Deng! He did not know how devastating the words “three months” could be until he saw Jiang Chu’s abrupt, wide-eyed stare. He only reacted shortly after, “Ah, don’t misunderstand. While I am also a God, I just got lucky and inherited some old brother’s stuff and ended up succeeding his position.”

Su Mo did not hesitate to transform into his alter-ego because he thought that Jiang Chu had misunderstood him.

The next second, an intense aura that could only be exuded by Gods spread out from Su Mo’s body.

Moreover, two kinds of authoritative auras emerged from both his arms following his transformation, both radiating a strange and mysterious light.

This change only served to freak Jiang Chu out even more.

Not only did Jiang Chu not recover from his trance, but the look on his face also became even more exaggerated.

It was only when Su Mo lifted his hand and waved it in front of Jiang Chu’s eyes that Jiang Chu came back to reality.

“Wow, brother! It can’t be! You have more than 1% authority?”

Su Mo touched his head. “Yes, I do. I have food and light, so if you add it up, my authority reaches 1.46%.”

“Hiss...” Jiang Chu abruptly took a sharp breath, and Su Mo could see a familiar expression in his eyes; one he had seen on the wasteland numerous times.

It was the state of astonishment that normal survivors could not hide when they found out about the progress of his development.

While others were living in wooden houses, he was living in a lavish underground shelter.

While others rode on wooden rafts, Su Mo rode on a steel destroyer.

At every turn, Su Mo developed himself faster than anyone could imagine, astonishing the people around him every time.

What he did not expect was that he would receive the same reaction when faced with a god of the same level.

He was not sure why, so he tried asking, “Big Brother Jiang, does having more than 1% authority result in some consequences, or is it just a large percentage to have?” Jiang Chu promptly nodded, “My god! It’s not that. I just thought that you’d be a fledgling, but you ended up being a tycoon!”

“Quick! Come and sit down! You’re a rare

guest!”

He waved his hand at the void, and a creaking sound could be heard as a chair slowly moved toward Su Mo from behind.

At the same time, another chair appeared under Jiang Chu’s phantom existence.

After doing this, Jiang Chu kept going and, with a clap of his hands, cracks from the wall gave way to holes that spat out mechanical arms one after another endlessly, which worked together to place objects and items in front of them.

In the end, when both men sat down, fresh fruit, still dripping with water, appeared before Su Mo’s eyes along with some small snacks that could have only come from Earth. Right after that came a sizzling hot plate of-roast chicken!

Su Mo looked into Jiang Chu’s gleaming eyes and steadily picked up a piece to take a bite after the system confirmed that there was nothing wrong with it.

Incidentally, he picked up a bottle of cola and hastily chugged half the bottle down.

It turned out that the God of the Ocean was so warm and hospitable! He seemed more akin to the God of Food hosting a banquet as laid out the best dishes he could come up with!

The game would have lost its mind before it could figure out how or why two of its most “wanted criminals” could sit together so harmoniously in such a tiny room.

“My man Su Mo! Since you ended up here, you must also have come for my God of the Ocean’s authority, right?”

Seeing that Jiang Chu opened his mouth once again and hit upon such a key point, Su Mo put down the chicken and nodded slowly.

Regarding this matter, Su Mo had never planned to keep his intentions a secret from the outset.

After he nodded, Jiang Chu raised his eyebrows and a touch of morbid curiosity flashed across his face.

“Tsk tsk! Compared with me, your courage and nerves are so much greater! Certainly worthy of being the chosen one!” “Chosen one?”

Jiang Chu saw the confusion on Su Mo’s face and did not reply. He just shook his head and spoke to the void, “Old friend, aren’t you gonna show yourself?”

This sentence came across as Jiang Chu speaking to nothing and no one. What Su Mo did not expect was that from the void that he spoke to, an unexpected vortex appeared as Jiang Chu’s voice faded. From within this vortex, a talisman emerged, which floated toward him.

It was the Divulgence of Heaven’s Secret talisman!

Even though Su Mo was not using his main identity, and despite not having storage space authority, this talisman could still break through the restrictions and arrive here directly.

Anyhow, this talisman appeared quickly, but also disappeared just as quickly. Within seconds, a green light from the talisman shot toward Jiang Chu’s glabella before it disappeared once again into the void.

“Wow! Su Mo, you really are cruel!”

“Compared to us, you actually have the right to go head-to-head with the game!”

After receiving the green light, Jiang Chu’s shock only grew as the words he said in passing resonated in Su Mo’s mind.

Clearly, the green light had delivered a lot of information. Su Mo did not bear it in mind and understood the situation at hand, “The old man behind the Divulgence of Heaven’s Secret talisman was one of our own?”

Jiang Chu stared and laughed, “Ha! The Old Man! Yes, he is one of us. We spoke of many fascinating things, but it also limited my achievements.” “Su Mo, why don’t I tell you a story?”

“He told me that you really wanted to know what this game is really all about!”
