After Su Mo saw Shen Ke’s determined eyes and concise military style, he nodded, supposedly agreeing to Shen Ke’s conditions.

The next second.

Shen Ke, who looked serious, could not hold back the seriousness of her face anymore and a bright smile appeared on her pretty face.

“The Almighty Su, now that the shelter’s trade is over, can I do some private trades with you?”

A smirk appeared on her charming little face.

A look that no one could refuse.

“Go ahead.” Su Mo smiled faintly. There was an inexplicable, indifferent, free and easy look on his face.

“I want to trade 1L of psychic energy water with you. The trading items are wires and a mechanical controller for programming the control. Mmhmm, and I’ll also add a secret bit of information for you.”

“Hmm?”

When Su Mo heard Shen Ke’s words, he turned his head and realized that he had exposed the generator behind him in the video call.

Su Mo smiled and shook his head.

It was no wonder that Shen Ke would propose such a deal. That was to meet his development requirements.

“Don’t worry, I’ll tell my little uncle to design a circuit plan as well when he designs the blueprint for you.”

When Shen Ke saw Su Mo’s expression, she immediately continued nervously, for fear that Su Mo would reject her the next moment.

One liter of psychic energy water might be extremely precious for others, but they would never know that his precious little thing was producing seven liters a day in his shelter!

The inequality brought about by unknown information always gave him an advantage in trades.

Su Mo slightly smiled and said, “Fine, deal. That’s not a problem. As for secret information… How much do you know about the ruins?”

After thinking about it, Su Mo was still really curious about Liangfang Town.

His ruin was different from what everyone else knew about ruins. There was a lot of fantastic loot inside and as long as he could put together a weapon and get through a room, his loot was unimaginable.

When Shen Ke saw that Su Mo agreed, she pulled back the hair that hung in front of her face and after thinking for a moment, she said calmly,

“We also organized a group of people to investigate the ruin. So far, we know quite a bit of information about it, but this isn’t worth anything because everyone will find it out sooner or later.

“According to the information we’ve discovered so far, there are three types of relics.

“The first type is the foggy relics that everyone has mentioned in the chat channel. The places where players go when they enter this kind of relics are strange, but according to the information we have gathered, most of them enter into a prehistoric civilization on earth when they enter this time of relic. However, there is insufficient investigation about it, so I can’t say for sure what ancient civilization it is.

“The second type of relic is… well… like the treasure stories in novels that you’d heard of. Us earthlings may not be the first species to be exiled here to participate in this survival game. There are other species that have been here before, so for some people that did not survive through the natural disasters, their shelters that are left here end up becoming a fixed relic.

“For the third type… we suspect that there are other civilizations merging with the wasteland world we are currently in. As to which civilization it is and what their purpose is, we don’t have a definite conclusion for now as we have insufficient evidence. We also have insufficient information collected, so we’ll just have to wait for technology to make a comeback before we can take a better look at it.”

Shen Ke was very detailed and explained the three types of relics that they had discovered so far clearly.

After Su Mo silently recorded all the information again by private messaging a dead person, he nodded and that signaled the completion of the trade.

“Okay, I’ll get you your wires and controller later~”

With a pleasantly surprised look on Shen Ke’s face, she stood up with a bounce. After the two of them said goodbye to each other, they hung up their video call.

After a while, Shen Ke sent her trade request and after confirming that it was correct, Su Mo uploaded 1100ml of psychic energy water.

He also left a message:

“Thank you for your information and your observation. Please take this 100ml as a private gift for you. Stay alive for everyone!”

A burst of light flashed, and the trade was completed.

…

In the huge Huaxia Shelter.

In an inconspicuous small house, Shen Ke raised her arms and breathed out. She uploaded all the wires into the trading system in one breath.

“Hehehe. Who said I’m just a girl who can only work as a civil servant?!”

With a silly simpering smile, Shen Ke confirmed the trade and got the psychic energy water.

When she saw the amount that Su Mo traded along with his message, a burst of sadness suddenly came up inexplicably.

A few drops of moving tears suddenly welled in her eyes, wetting her face that had turned yellow and dark because of dehydration.

When she realized she was crying, the first thing the girl did was not wipe away her tears. Instead, she licked her tears greedily with her cracked up, bloody, dry lips.

Then, the bright girl stopped crying, took her umbrella, and rushed out of the house. She shouted,

“Anyone who has a cold can stop worrying tonight because we traded some psychic energy water! Everyone’s going to get some before going to bed!”

Wow!

Psychic energy water!

For minor sickness, even medicines were not as effective as the legendary psychic energy water.

In the camp, the people who were still working hard at night looked up with their eyes full of gratitude and joy.

They did not shout!

They did not cheer!

That was because after they entered the shelter from the first day, the rules they received were:

“Save your energy. Don’t shout. Don’t cry. We don’t have enough food and water, but we…

“Will go back to earth alive!”

…

“Sigh. It seems like I’m a little socially challenged now with no one to talk to. I only have a silly dog.

“Humans really are social animals!

When he looked at a large number of wires on the ground for building circuits, Su Mo felt like going back onto his small bed to just lay there.

The silly Oreo also ran over at that moment, jumped onto the bed, and jumped back.

The black and white dog had a provocative look on its face.

“Silly dog, are you unhappy just because I called you a silly dog? Watch what I can do!”

After it jumped off the bed, the man and the dog began to chase each other in the shelter.

Su Mo’s hearty laughter echoed throughout the shelter.

After chasing Oreo for a while, Su Mo panted and helplessly sat on the bench after he watched Oreo still running high spiritedly ahead.

Oreo was still clowning around in the distance and when it saw that Su Mo was not chasing him anymore, it showed its husky teeth and barked happily.

“Don’t worry. I’ll make sure I stay alive for you, for myself, for my parents and sister!”

Su Mo said as he looked at Oreo firmly.

However, when Su Mo looked at Oreo, he had a rare touch of gentleness.

After resting for a while, he spread out the map that he looted on the table.

Su Mo carefully identified the location of the ruin.

“According to what Shen Ke said, it seems that the place marked on this map should be the place where Huang Biao and the others found the ruin.”

Huang Biao and his party’s starting point should be twenty kilometers away from the ruins.

“If these three lines are my base, then the ruin should be west to me…

“Three and a half kilometers away!”

The marks on the map were drawn using the most primitive pictographic method.

Thanks to them for finding a paper map to record it down. In addition to that, they marked it quite clearly, too. Otherwise, the average person would not be able to understand such an abstract map.

“The spots marked x should be the bases that they attacked. Hiss. What a bunch of cruel beastmen…”

After looking, Su Mo suddenly realized that the five of them were robbing anyone that they came across.

The red crosses on the map lined up into a straight line and there were as many as 16 in total.

“Maybe they didn’t know that a person dropped a damaged safe house core after dying. Even so, it was useless for them even if they knew it because only a placed safe house can absorb these cores.

“When I’m equipped, maybe I can travel West to see if those cores are still there.”

Su Mo had a lot of time to think about the acid rain disaster the whole day.

As an ordinary person without any subject knowledge advantage, he could only rely on hard work in the doomsday world.

Not only must he actively inquire about information, but he also had to take the initiative to strengthen himself.

When he looked at the treasure icon on the map, Su Mo curled up the corner of his lips, stood up, and looked to the West.

“Let’s see how sacred my journey to the west will be when the time comes in two days.”
