My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!

Chapter 97: Great Harvest, Upgrading the Transportation Vehicle

Rumble!

Sizzle!

Along with a loud noise, the gates of the kobold castle began to slowly open. Compared to the last chase, it opened much wider this time.

It even reached the point of being fully opened.

From the gates of the kobold castle, a team of well-equipped kobold warriors walked out.

Each team was a group of six—five warriors and a mage.

“One team, two teams, three teams…twelve teams…twenty teams…forty teams…sixty teams.”

Sprawled on the high ground, Su Mo counted silently. As the numbers got higher and higher, Su Mo’s heartbeat sped up.

Pulling out some psychic energy water, he trembled as he brought it to his mouth to drink.

He saw a robed kobold stepping out in front to brief the brigade. After it had done so, the kobold team began to advance, and Su Mo punched the sandy ground next to him.

“Great! This is the momentum we want. Go forward obediently and eat the ‘dessert’ I’ve prepared for you…”

There were no humans in this team, only well-equipped kobolds.

Moreover, in terms of momentum and formation, compared to the kobolds in the saltpeter mining camp, this 360-person brigade was definitely not inferior to the lion people’s brigade.

With high morale and well-practiced advance and retreat formations, Su Mo could not help but worry that, after the kobolds encountered the first explosion, the brigade would not fall into disorder like he hoped.

“Lion God, you have to bless me at this time and let these kobolds step on the landmines! I’m avenging the lion people!”

The closer the brigade got to the location where the mines were placed, the more nervous Su Mo became.

Once he took down a team of more than 300 kobolds, the treasure chests he received would no longer be counted using single or double digits—it would be 100 or 200 chests by then!

Su Mo dared not even imagine what good things he could get from so many treasure chests!

The pace of the kobolds was steady, the murderous aura in their eyes overflowing, as they moved forward resolutely.

Following the road that had been tread upon before, the marching distance of the kobold brigade exceeded 500 meters without changing directions. They were destined to embark on a path of no return.

Taking one step after another, the kobold in the forefront suddenly felt that he had stepped on something, and moved his foot around curiously.

Boom!

Whoosh!

With a loud blast, more than 30 kobolds in the front row were instantly swallowed by the blaze. The highly toxic picric acid smoke rose from the ground, turning into a yellow cloud, and soaring off into the open sky.

In an instant, the kobold team that was still in neat formation immediately became confused.

The strict formation discipline that Su Mo had worried about did not appear at all. The panic caused by this kind of bomb flooded every kobold’s weak heart for a while.

With the first kobold mage taking the lead to flee, the remaining kobolds would naturally not resist.

As they did not know where the enemy was, the kobolds could only instinctively run to the side.

On the left were the cascading high and low slopes while on the right lay the flat land overgrown with weeds.

The instinct of creatures compelled them to run to the right.

When he saw that everything was going as planned, Su Mo put down the binoculars in his hands, pressed down on Oreo’s curious dog head, and plugged Oreo’s ears.

Within three seconds, a yellow cloud that was four or five times larger than the one that had exploded at the entrance of the kobold mining camp rose from the ground.

A mushroom cloud with a diameter of more than five meters formed in the sky!

The loud rumbling sound was akin to the god of thunder’s anger. In the wilderness, it shook everyone until their scalps went numb.

Under the force of 30 catties of picric acid explosives, blocks of soil were blasted to a height of forty or fifty meters before falling like rain.

Lying on the ground, even if it was two kilometers away, Su Mo could feel the earth beneath him tremble like a miniature earthquake.

“This is the time!”

After he snapped the electric shoes on his feet and signaled Oreo to stay put, Su Mo ran as fast as he could. On some of the lower slopes, he even just jumped down.

Amid all the stumbling, Su Mo arrived at the scene of the explosion before anyone dared to venture forth from the kobold castle.

The yellow flames seemed to be born from hell, spontaneously igniting the ground without firewood.

The corpses of the kobolds were blown to pieces and a stinking stench of blood permeated directly into his nasal cavity.

Wisps of yellow smoke were like gangrene on the bones, absorbing the final life embers of the kobolds that were not completely dead yet.

“Gosh, is the power of 30 catties so terrifying?”

Seeing the bloody battlefield in front of him, a wave of nausea washed over Su Mo and he could not help but want to throw up.

If not for the countless treasure chests lying beyond the smoke, Su Mo would have definitely fled the scene immediately!

After taking four or five seconds to calm down, he looked at the yellow smoke still dissipating around the hardest-hit areas. Su Mo hurriedly summoned the system and looked at the combat uniform on his body.

“65 points to upgrade to an anti-toxic property? Upgrade!”

Su Mo’s words were without any hesitation, and soon a green light flashed and covered the mask.

Three to five seconds later, the green light retracted. When he breathed again, the bloody stench and yellow smoke could no longer pass through the mask.

“One…two…five…”

As soon as he entered the dense smoke, Su Mo took a look around and saw no less than twenty bronze treasure chests lying around, while wooden treasure chests were everywhere.

“Goodness gracious, I’ve struck it rich this time!”

Opening the storage space, Su Mo subconsciously wanted to put the treasure chests in, but the storage space was already full to the brim with the outboard motor.

Some of the gaps could not fit a big treasure chest!

Open it?

Lying on the ground, Su Mo chose to open a bronze treasure chest. With a thud, a 20kg bag of flour jumped out of the bronze treasure chest and fell to the ground.

“Yikes, this is even bigger than the treasure chest. What a nuisance!”

Looking at the bag of flour on the ground, Su Mo’s scalp went numb. He quickly clicked into the game panel and looked at the 500 disaster points that were fresh out of the oven. With a grimace, he spent 400 points to upgrade one cubic meter of space.

After the points were deducted, another cubic meter of space abruptly appeared within the previous storage space.

Using his will, he collected the bag of flour and tossed it into the storage space, before running frantically in the direction of the buggy.

Under such circumstances, it was absolutely unrealistic for him to collect these treasure chests by relying solely on the storage space. In that case, the only way was to upgrade the buggy!

The location where the buggy was parked was not far away, just two kilometers in the direction of the explosion.

Running all the way, Su Mo reached the buggy in less than five minutes, panting for breath after the physical exertion.

As he focused mentally, the properties of the buggy popped out.

[Compact, Rear-wheel drive, Off-road, Desert Racing Car (Good)]

Description: A desert racing car produced by the quasi-intermediate level manufacturer ‘Magoo’. Has good off-road ability and a powerful engine. The overall shape is beautiful and the materials used are solid. It is one of the better vehicles for traveling in the wasteland.

[Horsepower: 212hp]

[Torque: 400Nm]

[Fuel consumption: 14 liters of diesel per 100 kilometers (it will increase or decrease by varying degrees according to the terrain)]

[First upgrade option: Combat vehicle direction: Modify vehicle shape, upgrade all vehicle materials, enhance the degree of the vehicle’s protection, open up the weapons panel, increase the horsepower and torque of the vehicle, and increase its crash resistance. Survival points required (2,095).]

[Second upgrade option: Transportation direction: Modify vehicle shape, rebuild the entire structure, upgrade all vehicle materials, replace the off-road tires, increase storage space, and increase the horsepower and torque of the vehicle. Survival points required (1,890).]

Looking at the two upgrade options, Su Mo almost did not even think about it before directly choosing the second upgrade option, enhancing the vehicle in the transportation direction.

Spending such a large number of survival points for the first time, Su Mo’s heart was bleeding.

However, as soon as he thought of the hundreds of treasure chests that had just dropped, he resolutely chose to spend them.

Survival points were meant to be spent. As long as the upgrade was in the right direction, there was absolutely no such thing as waste!

The blue light began to radiate from Su Mo’s body toward the buggy in the bushes and enveloped the entire vehicle at once.

Like the previous upgrade of the motor-pumped oil well, the magical feeling reappeared.

Between heaven and earth, all color faded. The ground beneath his feet began to turn into nothingness and the surrounding environment also faded away, leaving only Su Mo, the buggy, and the blue light reconstructing it.

The light did not operate on the buggy. Instead, with a flash, it kneaded the buggy like blue play-doh.

Then, as if 3D printing, the grid began the reconstruction within the light.

The blue play-doh began to fill the light grid. When it was half-filled, more play-doh appeared from the void and added to it.

Sizzle!

There was a sound akin to electric welding. Soon, the modified vehicle fell to the ground with bang.

Looking at the exaggerated vehicle shape as well as camouflage paint, Su Mo temporarily stifled his shock. He immediately sat in the car and looked at the storage space behind.

“Nice, I was correct! This modified vehicle is equipped with modules and already has five cubic meters of storage space!”

“Adding one cubic meter of my own storage space, that’s six cubic meters! Enough to hold nearly a hundred treasure chests!”
