Tasty "Lion God Statue" (Second Update)
"At this rate, it seems these large Eastern shelters won't survive this blizzard! Without a large-scale racial war, how can they possibly hold out by cutting down trees and hunting Mutated Creature?"
Lying in bed, seeing that most of the people who were crying and complaining had Chinese names, Su Mo couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
The game's release is completely random.
In some places, dozens of people can be thrown together at once according to family and kinship relationships.
In some places, however, like Su Mo, there is only one person all alone.
"Fortunately, my Su family has been a single-line family for generations, and in recent years, living in a big city, I haven't had many close relatives to drag me down, otherwise it would have been really difficult!"
In the post-apocalyptic wasteland, Su Mo couldn't guarantee that he would remain calm, or rather, cold-blooded, when he saw his relatives crying for help.
Seeing the plight of his fellow Chinese, Su Mo could only watch helplessly, unable to make any contribution.
Individual strength is insignificant in the face of hundreds of millions of people. In just over ten days, even China's infrastructure could not create a complete supply chain.
Furthermore, after adding the crucial points restriction to the trading system, the only way to achieve large-scale exchange of goods and services is to wait until the Trading Realm is opened.
Therefore, under the current circumstances, the only options are to either hold out until the Trading Realm opens and exchange more valuable items for supplies, or "only war, only war, only risking one's life for another, can ensure survival; otherwise, when disaster strikes, one can only wait to die."
In just over ten days, several shelters have shared their experiences with large-scale racial warfare.
Having absorbed the experiences shared by other shelters, Su Mo opened his private messages in his diary and silently wrote down two points, "Lion-men and kobolds, once this disaster is over, we must find a way to quickly attack and defeat them; we cannot stand idly by and watch them continue to develop."
"Currently, a small human shelter has been detected 110 kilometers west of the base. It can be contacted if necessary (regarding the issue of identity disclosure!)."
After noting it down, Su Mo turned around and opened the Area Channel.
After the ruins were discovered, there were 812 people on the Area Channel. Two days later, this number did not change much, remaining at 799.
People like Liang Jian, who were quite active before, are still active in the Area Channel.
And because of today's weather, there were quite a few people on the Area Channel, all speaking freely and discussing how to effectively avoid disasters.
[Zhao Zhiyong: You know, this snow, if you're going to snow, either snow heavily, or don't snow at all. This little bit of snow is freezing cold, and we can't do anything. It's making people anxious.]
[Liang Jian: I was thinking of building a Snow House for warmth, but it looks like I won't be able to get any snow this time.]
[Sun Xian: For those of you who chose the above-ground wooden cabins as shelters, you can do what I did. Just pry open the planks in the middle of the cabin, dig a hole, hide inside, and cover it with weeds. You know what? It's actually quite warm, except for being a bit damp. Before the blizzard comes, I plan to make a few planks to make this hole, so I can lie there for three days when the blizzard comes!]
[Ema De Wen: Mr. Su Mo hasn't appeared for two days since his last speech. I hope something happened to him. We lone wolf players can only wait for the Trading Realm to open so we can find Mr. Su Mo there and exchange for food and supplies to get through the winter!]
[Cai Junfeng: Hey, you foreign devil, how could Su God be in trouble? You can rest assured, even if you're gone, everyone else will still be here.]
[Na Wenxing: That's right, I'm not even asking for anything good anymore, I just want to be able to go in and trade some food with the big shots. I'm really running out of resources.]
Compared to the World Channel, the Area Channel was much less hostile; everyone was harmoniously discussing how to survive in this wasteland.
Of course, in these chat messages, there are usually no more than three before the topic of Su Mo comes up, which then leads to a heated discussion.
"After the natural disaster eliminated the first wave of people, the remaining humans all possessed the basic abilities to survive in the wasteland. At least before the Trading Realm opens, this number shouldn't change too much. Hopefully, we can have a good trade then!"
Seeing that many people were saying they had good items to trade, Su Mo was also intrigued and posted in the Area Channel: [Su Mo: I have a considerable amount of food and tools. Those who want to trade can bring valuable items to exchange after the dungeon opens!]
Whoosh! The Area Channel, which was slowly scrolling through the screen, exploded the moment Su Mo finished speaking!
Countless divers stepped forward, saying they had many valuable items and only wanted to exchange them for food or something.
Many people have also inquired about joining the shelter, even if it means working like slaves, just to get food and survive.
After watching for a while, Su Mo didn't speak and quietly left the Area Channel.
All he had to do was give these people the confidence to persevere; nothing more needed to be said. He believed that these people could hold on with their faith.
After reading all this, it gradually came to eight o'clock.
The system notification tone never arrives late; it popped up silently after Su Mo silently recited it.

[Scanning the host's living environment, Survival Points assessment in progress. 191 Survival Points gained today.]
Final settlement: Survival Points +1781; Remaining Survival Points: 1800. "Huh, will the Survival Points given by this environment decrease?"
Seeing that his Survival Points had returned from two digits to four digits, Su Mo was slightly delighted.
However, among all the bonuses, Su Mo astutely observed the fixed income at the very bottom.
The Survival Points Survival Points mentioned earlier are obtained through daily activities and are therefore uncertain.
There is a high possibility that a disaster will strike, and we won't be able to leave our homes for more than ten days, rendering all these gains worthless.
Only the last item, the points based on the living environment assessment, will be the primary source of future acquisition.
"Does the system mean my living environment has worsened? It's not as comfortable as before?"
Lying on the warm bed, Su Mo stretched out his hand to feel the temperature in the shelter, confirming his suspicions.
As the outside temperature drops, the temperature in the shelter, even underground, remains between zero and three or four degrees Celsius.
Wearing thin sneakers, if you sit in the living room, your feet will freeze solid in no time, like stones, and you'll feel numb when you step on them.
As for the above-ground shelters outside, such as wooden houses, the temperature must have already dropped below zero by now, and the living conditions would probably be even worse.
After carefully reviewing today's income, Su Mo confirmed his judgment.
"Oh right, how could I forget about the Lion God Statue I brought back yesterday!" Su Mo suddenly remembered the good stuff that was still in his Storage Space.
With a thought, the Lion God Statue that the lion people had repeatedly worshipped suddenly appeared in Su Mo's hands.
The Lion God Statue still radiates its own blue light. Beneath the face, which lacks any facial details, there should be stiff, rigid fur, but this piece of wood has been carved with incredible skill. Each strand of wood feels like real hair, which is truly awe-inspiring.
"Woof~ woof~ woof"
"Coo coo coo coo coo~"
As Su Mo sat up and carefully examined the Lion God Statue, the three little ones beside him were startled by the faint "pressure" emanating from the Lion God Statue and started shouting.
Oreo, in particular, stared intently at the Lion God Statue, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.
The Big and Little Spark, began to cluck repeatedly, and the chicken's head stretched back and forth.
Su Mo was very familiar with the three little ones' expressions; it was exactly how they reacted when they saw delicious food.
"Huh? You all want to eat this Lion God Statue? No way, it's made of wood!"
Before Su Mo could finish speaking, Oreo nodded repeatedly, his eyes filled with longing, and his mouth was drooling.
"Goodness, you can't just eat this stuff. Let me examine this statue first."
Pressing down on the Oreo dog head and the Big and Little Spark chicken head, Su Mo reluctantly spent some Disaster Points.
This is my first time using the Game Panel's identification function. Unlike the system identification, this time the information that popped up was more comprehensive and complete.
The Game Panel even thoughtfully includes usage instructions and recycling prices!
