Chapter 13: First Exploration of the Ruins
After checking the armor and weapons on his body again, Somo greeted Oreo to open the wooden door of the shelter and walked out.
Currently, there are still survival points left, which is enough to upgrade weapons and armor for one round.
However, the purpose of Sumo's trip was not to fight.
From yesterday to today, in the collected news about the ruins, no one has talked about the appearance of the monsters in the ruins.
The unknown is always the scariest thing.
“If it’s because there is no danger in the ruins, someone would have explored it a long time ago.”
“No one has mentioned the situation inside now. The biggest reason should be that everyone who explored it has He’s already dead. Even if I upgrade my equipment, it’s totally unnecessary based on my current combat power!”
It’s important to be self-aware.
Although he exercises regularly, Sumo does not think that his current combat effectiveness is comparable to that of the special forces.
After all, he is just an ordinary person with a little strength.
"Be extremely careful and don't get hurt, Oreo, come here"
The fog in the ruins is like a mosaic, even if it is a hundred meters away, it is still blocking Sight effect.
Sumo squatted down, waved to Oreo who was snooping around, and said with a smile.
"Woof, woof"
Seeing Somo's actions, Oreo ran over affectionately, got into Somo's arms, and rubbed his head hard.
The expression management that was originally serious and strong suddenly collapsed, and with a hint of naughtiness, he licked Somo's chin.
"Okay, okay, after we enter the ruins, I have to give you a task."
With all conscience, Sumo definitely does not think that Oreo's clingy performance is Because of the influence of his character.
Hmm.
no way!
Hearing Somo's words, Oreo pricked up his ears and looked like he was listening attentively.
“When you go in, don’t leave me too far, just stay within five meters of me. Once you feel danger, immediately sound the alarm. At that time, we will retreat along the way in, listen. Do you understand?”
Olio tilted his head, and after two seconds, nodded to indicate that he understood.
"So good! You may encounter other creatures when you go in. Then you have to remember that they are enemies, so don't stupidly run over and kill them"
After saying that, Soma stood up, took out the eucalyptus spear from the inventory, held it in his hand, and walked firmly towards the ruins.
Walk until about ten meters.
Suma finally saw clearly the internal structure of the ruins.
The low earth wall is about two or three meters long, and the gray-black scorch marks on it look like they have experienced war.
Such a strange situation not only failed to dispel Sumo's inner doubts, but made Sumo even more curious.
Judgment based on currently available information.
The level of civilization in the ruins will not be very high, at least there is nothing beyond his understanding.
After tightening the spear in his hand and calling Oreo to his side, Somo mustered up his courage and plunged into the mist.
"The smell is a bit strange"
As soon as he entered the range of the fog, Somo became vigilant and began to observe the surrounding situation with all his concentration.
[Record]: You have entered the ruins.
[Record]: The game panel identification function is sealed, please use it after exiting the ruins
The sudden system sound startled Sumo, and at the same time, the fog seemed to have received the signal. The guilt begins to dissipate.
Not daring to go deep, Somo began to circle around the periphery of the ruins. After walking for about twenty minutes, he still couldn't reach the starting point.
“This ruins is actually so big?”
Secretly recording in his mind, Soma began to return along the way he came.
Surviving in the apocalypse is not a novel. Going in recklessly is the treatment of the protagonist of the novel. He asked himself that he did not have the courage to rush into the unknown.
After walking back to the starting point, Somo began to move forward. The yellow soil under your feet is like a country road, one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Follow the earth wall until you reach the corner at the end, and your eyes suddenly open up.
Something like an archway stood on the ground not far away.
Looking from bottom to top, Sumo's good eyesight allowed him to immediately see clearly the words in the middle of the archway that were looming in the fog:
"Liangfang. Town?"
"Zhen?"
Seeing the familiar Chinese characters, Sumo did not feel a sense of familiarity as if he were meeting a fellow villager. Instead, he felt a cool breeze running down his back.
Oreo beside him also seemed to be facing a formidable enemy. He was still sniffing around nearby, but the moment he saw the archway, he suddenly lay on the ground and glared ahead!
Sumo had goosebumps all over his body and was so stimulated by the sight in front of him that he stood up!
Looking into the depths of the mist behind the archway of Liangfang Town, Sumo instinctively sensed something was wrong and decisively retreated quickly along the path.
In the apocalypse, I saw a scene like a ghost town surrounded by fog.
How many people dare to go in and explore!
He didn't know if there was such a Shura scene in other people's ruins, but he was sure that going in to search for it would definitely be extremely dangerous with the current combat capabilities of the equipment.
As Somo left the corner, the fog behind him began to slowly close again, gradually burying the archway.
Walking along the earth wall, Somo began to have some wrong ideas.
Since the town looks so dangerous and you can’t get in, you might as well find a way to cut through the earthen walls and see what’s in the farmhouses on the roadside.
“Oreo helps me be alert”
After saying hello, Sumo cautiously walked to where he came from and began to look at the structure of the earthen wall.
Just like the ordinary walls made of mud in the countryside, Somo poked it with a eucalyptus spear, and a small piece immediately came off.
There is drama!
Seeing that it was not as strong as he imagined, Somo became excited and began to take out his iron ax and hit it on the earth wall.
Every time he hit the earth wall hard, listening to the sonorous and powerful contact sound and watching the falling earth clods, Somo was full of energy.
The wall, which was about half a meter thick, collapsed in less than five minutes with a loud bang.
There is about a gap that can be passed through by three people at the same time.
Looking inside through the gap, you can vaguely see brick houses in the old rural style.
There are three tile-roofed houses, symmetrical on the left, middle and right.
“Smell the Oreos to see if there is any danger nearby”
Squatting on the earth wall, Somo looked curiously at the scene inside the house.
Each room is padlocked, and it looks like the owner has gone out, without any signs of life.
After Sumo studied the outside of the room, his eyes fell on Oreo.
Oreo listened with his ears up for a while, then lay down on the ground and sniffed for a while, and finally shook the dog's head to indicate that there was no smelly creature inside.
Putting away the eucalyptus spear, Soma stepped into the courtyard with an iron ax in hand, feeling alert.
Just now it seemed to be looking around randomly, but in fact it had already measured the escape route.
From the courtyard to the outside of the ruins, based on foot strength, it should be about thirty meters.
The running speed of an adult in this kind of terrain is about five meters per second. Even if you are exploring the house, if something goes wrong, you can leave the ruins for no more than ten seconds.
Step by step, Sumo moved towards the center of the courtyard with extreme caution, his eyes scanning the three rooms nearby.
Poof!
A black shadow flashed and hit Somo's pottery plate armor, knocking Somo to the ground.
As a low roar sounded, Sumo raised his head and was horrified to find an extremely terrifying wolf dog in front of him!
