Chapter 58 Night in the Wasteland! Explore more!
The night in the wasteland is always full of a different kind of beauty.
In the wasteland world, which is far different from the earth's environment, there are not only the sun, the moon, but even stars.
Under such a night scene, I never imagined that there would be an upcoming snowstorm more than ten days later.
After eating and drinking, Sumo put on his rare equipment, took Oreos, and came outside the shelter.
As the kobold warlock revealed more information, the sense of urgency in Somo's heart became heavier.
According to what the Warlock Kobold said, all Kobolds were released into this world at the same time as humans.
But it is different from forced placement by humans.
The kobold race was inspired by the call and took the initiative to come.
And the most important thing is that when all the kobolds arrived, they already carried a large amount of supplies, which was enough for them to open up the situation in the wasteland.
The two-person team encountered in the ruins earlier and the six-person team encountered later were all resource spies sent by the kobold tribe.
They are responsible for scouting out resources and reporting to the clan.
Unfortunately, both teams coming in this direction encountered Somo.
Exploring the location of the kobold camp and finding the place where they dig saltpeter must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
Especially according to the description of the warlock kobold, the distance between the two places is estimated to be at least more than sixty kilometers.
The team walked for almost a full day before arriving near Somo's shelter.
Such a distance, measured according to human foot strength, is simply impossible to make a round trip in one day.
Therefore
All hope can only be pinned on the bouncing car in Shelter No. 2!
With this car, Sumo is confident that he can go and return on the same day, not to mention 60 kilometers, but even 100 kilometers.
After closing the door of the shelter, Somo turned and left.
The stars are bright in the sky, casting a ray of light.
"It's so beautiful! But how many humans can enjoy this kind of starry sky?"
Rubbing the electric crossbow that emitted cold light in his hand, Sumo lifted it up in the night and saw the dots. Stars and a full moon hung in the sky.
“Tonight, I’m going to explore the ruins. If I can repair the Bengbeng and drive it out, I’ll go to the saltpeter mine to explore it tomorrow!”
Somo tightened his raincoat and pottery plate armor tightly, closed the door, and walked forward resolutely.
Olio also immediately entered a fighting state and began to follow the two-person care-taking marching method taught by Sumo, keeping a distance of about 100 meters to guard.
At night in the wasteland, which humans were originally afraid of like tigers, with Soma's current combat power, the threat has been greatly reduced.
There are electric crossbows and Oreo reconnaissance. Unless the individual is an extremely powerful wasteland creature, ordinary creatures will be shot into a sieve by Somo from a hundred meters away.
Along the way, the stars shine.
Soma was very focused and walked for fifteen minutes, stopping to rest for five minutes to regain his strength.
The husky’s strong endurance can ensure that Oreo patrols the side continuously, providing Somo with a safe environment to rest.
The road of three and a half kilometers is not long.
After walking for almost an hour, Sumo saw Shelter No. 2 crawling on the ground in the distance.
“It seems that as time goes by, there will be fewer and fewer mutant beasts, and the disasters that humans may face will be even more terrifying.”
Along the way, I didn't encounter a single mutant beast.
Not only did Su Mo not feel relieved, but he was actually worried.
The powerful wasteland creatures cannot withstand such frequent disasters. Those who can survive are undoubtedly the strongest among the monsters.
By that time, there will be fewer and fewer creatures in the wasteland, and humans will lose the important development path of hunting to obtain treasure chests to replenish supplies.
Farming?
Sumo shook his head.
In more than ten days, we will face the extreme weather of minus 20 degrees blizzard.
What kind of food crops can survive in this extreme environment.
"Woof!" Oreo tentatively searched around the front, sending a signal that there were no enemies.
After a day of exposure, the water near Shelter 2 has reduced a lot, and Oreo, wearing a raincoat, can also swim through it.
And at the door of the garage where the Bengbeng is placed, due to the terrain, the ground has become dry and hard at this time, and it is fully suitable for driving.
Moving to Oreo to walk on the flank, Somo checked the electric crossbow in his hand again to make sure it was on and could be activated at any time, and then cautiously walked forward.
With the light of the full moon shining down, the road conditions can be clearly seen even without a flashlight.
The last time we walked on the muddy road for more than 20 minutes, this time it took Somo less than five minutes to successfully stand at the gap opened by the kobolds.
Taking out the flashlight from the storage space and shining it, Somo first looked at the crime scene that he had prepared when he left.
At the kobold's footprints, there were still two strong pieces of feline hair that Somo had specially glued to it.
The pattern of the footprints shows no trace of being stepped on twice.
Looking inside the ruins, there is no difference between the furnishings inside and those in memory.
Even near the black blood sprayed out by the kobolds on the ground, there were no traces of biological action.
"Haha, haha"
After Oreo finished patrolling, he came to the pothole and looked inside the hole curiously.
"Are there no traces of the enemy?"
Hearing Sumo's question, Oreo nodded, indicating that no one was found around him.
"Okay, continue to patrol nearby. If there is anyone, give us a warning as soon as possible!"
After touching Oreo's dog head through the raincoat and asking Oreo to stand aside to be on guard, Somo took out the hemp rope that he had braided in the shelter.
The previous hemp rope was used to tie the kobold warlock, but this one was specially prepared by Somo before coming out.
And this hemp rope is different from the last rope, but a climbing rope made by Somo on the workbench!
[Hook Rope (Excellent)]
Description: The climbing rope is woven by "Suma", a beginner in rope art. It is composed of two parts: hook and rope. It has good stability. It is a perfect tool for playing at home and exploring in the wild.
Function: The rope is 4.8m long and has "tough" properties. It will never break when it bears objects not exceeding 300kg.
Evaluation: It seems to be...a novice prop in a certain sea survival novel?
Took out an iron nail, nailed the hook firmly to the ground, pulled it a few times, and after confirming that there was no problem, Somo turned around and went straight down.
With this first experience, this time the expedition went very smoothly.
In just three to five seconds, Somo slid onto the floor surface of Shelter 2 along the smooth rope.
The moment he came down, Somo immediately took out his electric crossbow and started to be on guard.
“I remember that the angle of this bone should be about 35 degrees, so there is no problem in matching it.”
“This iron nail was specially placed here by me, and it has not been People stepped on it"
"The footprints on the ground have been covered with a layer of dust, and no signs of biological activity have been found for the time being."
Holding the flashlight in his left hand, Somo quickly swept it to leave At the same time, the index finger of the right hand is always pressed on the trigger to ensure that it can be fired at any time.
"Fortunately, it's sixty kilometers. With the kobold's foot strength, it will take a lot of effort to get here!"
After looking around to make sure it was safe, Somo put the crossbow back into the storage space and put it down. Heartbroken.
The head of the miserable old man was still lying quietly on the ground inside, watching Somo walking in silently.
Avoiding the dried blood on the ground, Soma came to the railing that was bombarded by the warlock kobolds.
The railing, which was about 10cm in diameter, was shattered to pieces and lay in a mess on the stairs to the basement on the first floor.
"This power is so powerful!"
Carefully picking up the railing on the ground and taking a look, Sumo suddenly felt a chill on his back.
The solid iron rod was blown into two pieces. If it hit a person, a big hole would be blown out in seconds.
Use your feet to push aside the broken iron rod on the ground, and slowly go down the stairs.
The orange bouncer that he had been thinking about appeared in Sumo's sight again.
