Chapter 15: Healing His Wounds And Sorting Through His Harvest!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The ruin shrouded in fog dissipated after Su Mo stepped out, and it began to fade as if they had truly turned into mist.
At that moment, the black dog’s corpse that Su Mo dragged out on his Japanese Oak Spear also turned into a shadow along with the fog.
??
A breeze blew past and it turned into ashes.
“What a shame, I thought I could at least pull this fierce thing out to identify what the hell it was.”
Slightly dejected, Su Mo called out the game panel, selected the Monster Illustration Handbook, and tried to scan.
[No mutant beast presence detected within a thousand-meter radius of the player.]
[Today’s count 1/3]
The surrounding area around the shelter was just a vast wasteland and any large animals could be seen with the naked eye.
Just for some peace of mind, Su Mo used the scanning once.
As he dragged his tired body back to the shelter, the long-lost sense of safety finally washed over him again after he closed the shelter’s wooden door,
A wave of pain also greeted him together with his sense of security.
After he took off the ceramic plate armor from his body, he felt a trace of pain that made his scalp numb.
There was always an equal and opposite force. Although the ceramic plate armor blocked the impact of the black dog’s charge,?the impulse still gave Su Mo a bruise on his chest.
To hold the Japanese Oak Spear, parts of the skin on the palm of the hand were also chafed off. At that moment, he could see blood on his palm when he took a better look under the sunlight.
The other painful parts of his body were soft tissue contusions from the sudden blow, which was not a big deal.
“Woof~ Awoo~”
Oreo lowered his head and kept circling Su Mo. Even though the dog could not speak, its feeling of worry was genuine.
As Su Mo endured the pain, he squeezed out a smile.
“Good dog, I’m fine. We’ve made some mistakes today. However, things will be changing. Next time, we’ll let them have a taste of modern weapons!”
“Aw—Awoo~”
Oreo raised its head and it was obvious that it did not understand what Su Mo meant by modern weapons.
“What a cute fur baby.”
Oreo was clearly not an ordinary pet. As a Doomsday mutant creature, its ability to understand human speech gave it an extra layer of mystique.
While Su Mo pacified Oreo, he moved the harvested water to the wooden barrel where he stored the psychic energy water.
He picked up his cup and drank a cup of water. The burning sensation on his chest suddenly subsided a lot and there was even a numb itchiness on the wound on his hand.
When he raised his hand, he could see some small skin wounds. At that moment, under the effect of the psychic energy water, the injuries began to heal up and even the larger wounds stopped bleeding.
One should always learn from his mistakes.
After his exploration in the ruin, Su Mo finally realized the importance of combat in the Doomsday world.
Anyone who naively hid and avoided battles would only eventually push themselves into their doom.
If there were already fights during the peaceful times, there were going to be many more battles in a chaotic doomsday wasteland!
The psychic energy water was not a cure-all. Even if he had unlimited water to drink, the healing effect on small wounds plateaued after 300ml of consumption.
He picked up a mirror which was a leftover from the glass which he cut for the lighting and vent. He observed it closely.
Due to his excellent appearance he inherited from his parents, the young man in the mirror had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. There was an air of youthful beauty with the little blood on his face, along with his unruly hair. Not only did he look fairly tidy, but it also made his vigorous masculinity stand out. He had a perfect jawline that curved beautifully and looked even more prominent from his side profile.
As his gaze swept further down, Su Mo saw his chest in the mirror.
When he looked down before, it was a purplish red with bruises and looked extremely gruesome.
After drinking the psychic energy water and its invisible healing effect kicked in, the bruises started to break down, making the purplish-red color turn into a lighter blood-colored purple.
Su Mo nodded and put down the cup of psychic energy water.
The time he stepped into the ruin was about nine o’clock in the morning. By the time he left, it was at least four o’clock in the afternoon.
That was completely inconsistent with the previous information he gathered that said that people could only stay in the ruins for two hours.
He opened the private message panel and looked for Feng Mengyue whom he had spoken to previously. After that, Su Mo took the initiative to send a message.
[Su Mo: Hello, I would like to inquire more about the ruins and I’ll pay you with psychic energy water.]
After he sent the message, Feng Mengyue replied to him after two or three minutes.
[Feng Mengyue: Hello, Almighty Su. What would you like to know? If you want to know where I got the blast-resistant glass, then I’ll have to apologize because the ruin did not regenerate this morning, so I was not able to enter.]
[Su Mo: I’d like to know what you’ve seen, heard, and everything in between since you entered the ruins... That’s because I also entered a ruin once, so I can judge the authenticity of the information from my experience. I hope that we can have a pleasant trade.]
Instead of choosing to be secretive, Su Mo chose to lay down the facts.
In fact, from the moment he entered the ruin, he felt that his ruin was different from the others.
The area was too big!
Even if the ruins others encountered was a large one, they could still sort of see what was inside.
On the other hand, more than 20 minutes of walking around the periphery was not enough for him to reach the other side of his ruin, let alone seeing what was inside.
[Feng Mengyue: Fine, but give me some time. I’m in the wilderness now and busy for the time being. How about this, Almighty Su Mo? I’ll write a text description for you when I’m back in my shelter later and you can pay me the amount of water according to the value you think of the information, since it’s not a big secret anymore.]
After agreeing to the conditions, Su Mo closed the private message channel.
He was now one hundred percent sure that something was wrong with his ruin!
After Su Mo opened his inventory, he began to take the things out one by one.
First, he took out the most “expensive” of those items, the television.
[32-inch Color Television (excellent)]
Description: A technological device from an unknown era. The system consists mainly of five parts. They are the power supply circuit, the common channel, the audio channel, the color decoding circuit, and the color image display system. Video frame quality is 25 frames per second and 625 lines per frame.
Special ability: If the shelter has electricity, this item can monitor a one-kilometer radius around the shelter, with zoom in, zoom out, and different angles function.
Comment: In front of this television, you, me, and her, have no privacy! (It’s justified!)
“Holy sh*t! There’s a bug function in the item?”
The television’s property threw Su Mo for a loop.
Originally, it looked like an ordinary television set in the ruin. However, after he brought it out of the ruin, he was surprised to find that it had a special bugging function.
If Su Mo could power up the television, that meant he could always be the first one to attack within the one thousand meters radius around his shelter.
Even though he was not sure how the television worked, the mere fact that it had a powerful feature that science could not explain was enough to drive him crazy.
Sure enough, the risks and the benefits of his trip were almost equal.
At that moment, Su Mo’s desire for electricity was at its peak.
Speaking of which, from the time he crossed over to this place, he had not used his phone for three days. At that moment, he had some free time and immediately felt the importance of electricity.
After taking everything out, checking them, arranging, and putting them away properly, a bold idea suddenly appeared in Su Mo’s mind.
“If there was a television in that town... There could be a generator too!”
There was no reason why such a huge town would not have strategic supplies like generators in their reserve.
When Su Mo thought of that, his mind became active.
“As long as I have modern weapons, monsters like the one before would be nothing to me. Maybe I can even rely on ruins to quickly develop my shelter!”
After he carved all the expectations into the back of his mind, Su Mo continued examining the stolen moldy bedding.
[Kang Bed-stove Three-piece Set (Normal)]
Description: Consists of a comforter, bedsheet, and pillow.
Special Ability: The unique fabric improves comfort by a small amount and also has some moisture barrier function.
Comment: This mandarin duck red three-piece set makes up for the love you lack with white bedsheets!
Even though Su Mo got a normal quality item, he was not discouraged.
Although Su Mo did not have high expectations when he picked up the item since it was a comforter that was already moldy, having a special ability that improves comfort even by a little was already hard to come by.
While there was still sunlight outside, Su Mo stepped out of the shelter and laid the three-piece set flat on the ground where the sun could shine on it so that the sunlight could demold the bedding.
In fact, if it was not for the limited condition he was living in, Su Mo would not have minded washing them with water and taking them out in the sun.
However, due to his current living situation, he had to keep everything basic.
After Su Mo went back into the shelter, he took out the table, tea set, and seasonings that he had looted from before.
This time, unfortunately, the game panel did not recognize those things, so he could only use them as ordinary furniture, cups, and seasoning.
In the end, it was the half sack of flour that he got in the kitchen that made Su Mo overjoyed.
[Refined Flour (Good)]
Description: Milky white color, protein content is between high and low protein flour, semi-loose body, suitable for baozi, mantous, noodles, etc.
Special ability: Flour with self-regulated dirt removal function, does not rot or mold easily. Suitable for long-term storage.
Comment: What do you think? Doesn’t looking at it make you want to make a bowl of Biang Biang noodles and slurp it up?
