[You obtained a Large Vegetable Culture Medium, the hope of green, giving you a goal in the apocalypse (Survival Points +5)]

[Scanning the host's living environment, Survival Points are being evaluated, and 30 Survival Points have been obtained today.]

Final settlement: Survival Points +117, remaining Survival Points: 120120 Survival Points! With dark circles under his eyes, Su Mo sat on the edge of the bed.

Last night, there were constant sounds of creatures moving around outside, which caused him to not sleep well all night, fearing that something would break in.

He didn't fall asleep until about five o'clock.

At this time, feeling the fresh air, the bright Shelter, and looking at yesterday's Survival Points settlement, Su Mo's lips curled up.

"The more things I do every day, the more Survival Points I get. A Ventilation and Lighting Facility and a Culture Medium increased it by 19 points, great!"

In his vision.

The Culture Medium placed under the ventilation opening, although only a corner of it receives sunlight, the whole thing emits a shimmering white light.

Summoning the game panel, Su Mo clicked on the Monster Compendium.

The number of scans has been refreshed.

[No Mutated Beasts have been detected within a kilometer of the player]
[Today's attempts 2/3]

"I knew it, how could anyone be so unlucky that there are Mutated Beasts nearby every day"

After putting his mind at ease, Su Mo was in a great mood and began to complete the daily routine of the Shelter.

First, he came to the cornucopia of the Shelter, next to the Psionic Water Well.

After a night of accumulation, the Psionic Water Well has now pumped up 3L of Psionic Water, plus the 800ml surplus from yesterday, there is now a total of 3.8L.

He scooped out 1.8L and evenly watered the Vegetable Culture Medium.

He took out a Large Rye Bread, cut off another pound with the Iron Axe, and after eating and drinking it with Psionic Water, Su Mo began to put on his armor.

Not having any Mutated Beasts within a kilometer does not mean absolute safety.

Putting on armor is always good to be prepared.

After opening the Wooden Door of the Shelter and walking out, Su Mo's eyes instantly focused on one point.

"This, this is!"

In the distance, on the originally barren plain, a Ruins suddenly appeared, shrouded in mist.

Su Mo remembered the place where the Ruins appeared.

Yesterday, this place was still bare, with few trees. He didn't expect the Ruins to have refreshed here.

According to visual estimation, the Ruins are about three hundred meters away from the Shelter.

Standing at the entrance of the Shelter, it is not possible to see very clearly what the scene is inside the Ruins.

All that can be seen are the ruins wrapped in mist, like they have been bombed, extremely terrifying.

"I originally wanted to wait until a crisis came before making plans, but now it seems that I must increase my combat power immediately"

Returning to the Shelter, Su Mo's eyes were burning as he took out the Pet Egg stored in his inventory.

Exploring the Ruins is too dangerous with just him alone.

In Su Mo's plan, this Pet Egg was originally to be saved until the base had stable food production before using it.

"No more waiting!"

Exploring the Ruins is a must.

The refresh location this time is so good. With the slightest change, I can quickly retreat from the Ruins and return to the Shelter.

In the future, if it refreshes a few kilometers away, it will be troublesome.

Re-crafting an Iron Axe and ensuring a sterile environment, Su Mo carefully ran his index finger along the corner of the axe blade, cutting a small opening in the fingertip of his left hand.

Pinching it with his right hand, a few drops of blood were squeezed out of the wound and dripped onto the Pet Egg.

The silvery-white Pet Egg began to show blood-colored patterns on its shell after receiving the blood.

A series of lowcry sounds sounded within the Pet Egg, like the low growl of a ferocious beast.

A few strands of cyan light rose from the eggshell, splitting into nine and shooting straight to the top of the Shelter!

In an instant, the Shelter became an ocean of cyan, and even the originally dark corners were illuminated.

Whirr! Cracking sounds came continuously from the eggshell.

Crack!

Countless cracks filled the surface of the eggshell, and the next moment... "Woof! Awoo! Woof!"

The cyan light dissipated, and Su Mo stared blankly at the black and white animal in front of him.

Before Su Mo could react, the figure pounced over and began to circle around Su Mo's feet, extremely fawning.

"Did I just hatch an Erha?"

Lowering his body, Su Mo hugged the dog's head, feeling both amused and exasperated.

The activation of the Pet Egg had such a grand display, he thought he would hatch some awesome pet, the kind that would directly grab his thigh and take off.

But it turned out to be an Erha.

Holding the Erha's head and watching it constantly sticking out its tongue to lick him, Su Mo felt a sense of intimacy from the bottom of his heart.

This was also the reason why Su Mo didn't dodge when it pounced over just now.

The hatched pet felt like he had raised it for more than ten years, instinctively feeling that it had no malice, just wanting to be close to him.

The Erha's smooth fur shimmered with a gem-like luster, and as Su Mo stroked its head, it even let out a comfortable hum.

"It's good that it's just an Erha, so even if it eats a lot, I can afford to raise it..."

After only two days of being alone in the wasteland, Su Mo felt extremely lonely.

The game panel information appeared in due course, dispelling his concerns.

[Pet Name]: Unnamed

[Status]: Juvenile Stage

Biological Description: A gentle wasteland creature. As a mutated husky inheriting multiple bloodlines, its strength will become stronger and stronger as it grows. (Please note: The personality of a juvenile pet will change with the personality of its owner)

Ability 1: High-Speed Movement. Its muscle structure guarantees a certain amount of explosive power. After activating the ability, its speed doubles for 30 seconds, with a cooldown time of 5 minutes.

Ability 2: Sixth Sense. Its biological structure makes its perception extremely strong. After activating the ability, it can briefly predict upcoming dangers, with a cooldown time of 1 day.

Evaluation: It is a good child, provided that you can help it awaken all its bloodlines.

"Woof! Oooo!"

Seeing Su Mo in a daze and ignoring it, the little Erha began to roll playfully on the ground, exposing its snow-white belly.

Its already comical face seemed to be questioning Su Mo. "Hmph, why aren't you playing with me!"

Seeing the little Erha's expression, Su Mo's heart stirred, and he said with a smile:

"Such a flirt, you don't have a name yet, uh... let's call you..."

Pausing for a moment, seeing the Erha's black and white color, Su Mo suddenly felt like it was an Oreo sandwich cookie, and laughed: "My name is Su Mo, from now on... from now on, you'll be called Oreo!"

The Erha, who was still lying on the ground, was very satisfied after hearing this name. It stood up with a whoosh, raised its head, and looked proud, exuding an indescribable majesty.

"Awoo! Woof woof woof!"

Erha Oreo seemed to really like its name and began to patrol the shelter, running around happily.

"What a playful little guy."

Looking at the added vitality within the shelter, Su Mo felt like a kind old father, his heart filled with emotion.

Alone, he had come to the wilderness.

Two days felt as long as several months. He had no relatives, no one to talk to, and even the chat channel was full of deceit and betrayal.

In the apocalypse, the word 'friend' might be too luxurious until one's strength reached a certain level.

Seeing Su Mo sad, Oreo quickly ran over and rubbed its furry head against Su Mo's face.

"Good! Good! I'm not sad, I'm happy! I'm delighted!"

Su Mo remembered that Erhas preferred meat, so he opened the trading market and directly bought half a catty of Mutated Jackal Meat.

The dry, unpalatable wolf meat that was hard for humans to swallow was devoured by Oreo with relish, not caring about the taste at all.

"Eat, eat as much as you want, if it's not enough, I have Large Rye Bread here!"

Seeing Oreo's reluctant expression after finishing, Su Mo took out the Large Rye Bread from the storage cabinet, scaring Oreo into a hasty retreat.

For a moment, the shelter echoed with Su Mo's hearty laughter.

"So! Next up is exploring the Ruins!"
