First Exploration of the Ruins

After rechecking the armor and weapons on his body, Su Mo called Oreo to open the Shelter Wooden Door and walked out.

Currently, there was still a surplus of Survival Points, completely enough to upgrade the weapons and armor once.

However, Su Mo's purpose for this trip was not to fight.

From yesterday to today, among the collected information about the ruins, no one had talked about the appearance of the monsters inside.

The unknown is always the most terrifying.

"If there were no dangers in the ruins, someone would have explored it long ago."

"The biggest reason why no one mentions the situation inside now is probably because the people who explored it have already died. Even if I upgrade my equipment, with my current combat power, it's completely unnecessary!"

It is important for people to know their own limitations.

Although he exercised regularly, Su Mo didn't think his current combat power could be compared to special forces.

In the end, he was just an ordinary person with a little bit of strength.

"Must be extremely careful, can't get hurt, Oreo, come here."

The fog in the ruins was like a mosaic, even when walking within a hundred meters, it still had the effect of blocking the line of sight.

Su Mo squatted down, beckoned to Oreo, who was scouting around, and said with a smile.

"Woof, woof."

Seeing Su Mo's movements, Oreo ran over affectionately, burrowed into Su Mo's arms, and rubbed his head hard.

The originally serious and imposing expression management instantly collapsed, with a hint of playfulness, licking Su Mo's chin.

"Alright, alright, after entering the ruins later, I want to give you a task."

Heaven and earth conscience, Su Mo absolutely did not think that Oreo's clingy behavior was due to the influence of his personality.

Well... absolutely not!

Hearing Su Mo's words, Oreo perked up his ears and put on a serious listening expression.

"After entering later, don't leave me too far, stay within five meters of me. Once you feel danger, immediately warn me, and then we will retreat along the way we came in, understand?"

Oreo tilted his head, nodded after two seconds, indicating that he understood.

"Good boy! After entering later, you may encounter other creatures, then you must remember that they are enemies, don't be silly and run over to give them your head."

After speaking, Su Mo stood up, took out the Beech Spear from the inventory, held it in his hand, and walked firmly towards the ruins.

He walked for about ten meters.

Su Mo finally saw the internal structure of the ruins clearly.

The low earthen walls were about two or three meters high, and the gray-black scorch marks on them looked like they had experienced war.

Such a strange situation not only failed to dispel the doubts in Su Mo's heart, but made Su Mo even more curious.

Based on the currently known information.

The civilization level in the ruins would not be very high, at least not beyond his understanding.

Tightening the spear in his hand, after calling Oreo to his side, Su Mo mustered his courage and plunged into the fog.

"The smell... is a bit strange."

As soon as he entered the range of the fog, Su Mo's vigilance was at its highest, and he began to observe the surrounding situation with all his attention.

[Record]: You have entered the ruins.

[Record]: The game panel identification function is sealed, please exit the ruins before using

The abrupt system sound startled Su Mo, and at the same time, the fog seemed to have received a signal, and began to dissipate within a radius of five meters.

Not daring to go deep, Su Mo began to circle around the periphery of the ruins, estimating that he had walked for about twenty minutes, but still could not reach the place where he started.

"This ruin is actually so big?"

Silently recording in his heart, Su Mo began to return along the way he came.

Doomsday survival is not a novel. Charging in headfirst is the treatment of the protagonist in a novel. He asked himself that he did not have this courage to rush headlong into the unknown.

Until he walked back to the starting point again, Su Mo began to move forward.

The yellow earth underfoot felt like a country path, each step sinking a little.

Following the earthen wall, I walked to the corner at the end, and suddenly my vision opened up.

Something like a memorial arch stood on the ground not far away.

Looking up, my good eyesight allowed Su Mo to immediately see the words in the middle of the archway, faintly visible in the mist:

"Liangfang. Town?"

"Town?"

Seeing the familiar Chinese characters, Su Mo didn't feel a sense of familiarity like meeting a fellow countryman. Instead, a chill ran down his spine.

Oreo beside him also seemed to be facing a formidable enemy. It had been playfully sniffing around, but the moment it saw the archway, it suddenly lay down on the ground, glaring ahead!

Su Mo's goosebumps were all standing on end, stimulated by the scene before him! Looking into the depths of the mist behind the Liangfang Town archway, Su Mo instinctively sensed something was wrong and decisively retreated quickly along the path.

In the apocalypse, seeing a scene surrounded by mist, like a ghost town...

How many people would dare to bravely go in and explore! He didn't know if other people's ruins were like this scene of carnage, but he was sure that going in to search with his current equipment and combat power would be extremely dangerous.

As Su Mo left the corner, the mist behind him slowly began to close again, gradually burying the archway.

Walking along the earthen wall, Su Mo began to have some crooked ideas.

Since the town looked so dangerous and he couldn't enter, he might as well find a way to break through the earthen wall and see what was in these roadside farmhouses.

"Oreo, keep watch for me."

After calling out, Su Mo cautiously walked to the place he had come from and began to examine the structure of the earthen wall.

Like the walls in ordinary rural areas made of mud bricks, Su Mo poked it with his Beech Spear, and a small piece immediately fell off.

It's promising!

Seeing that it wasn't as strong as he had imagined, Su Mo became excited and began to take out his Iron Axe, chopping at the earthen wall.

Each heavy blow landed on the earthen wall, and listening to the powerful sound of contact and watching the constantly falling clods of earth, Su Mo was full of energy.

The wall was about half a meter thick, and in less than five minutes, with a loud bang, it collapsed.

A gap was opened, large enough for three people to pass through at the same time.

Looking through the gap, he could vaguely see old rural-style brick houses.

There were three tile-roofed houses, symmetrical from left to right.

"Oreo, sniff around, is there any danger nearby?"

Squatting on the earthen wall, Su Mo curiously gazed at the inside of the house.

Each room was locked, looking as if the owner had already gone out, without a trace of life.

After Su Mo finished examining the outside of the house, his gaze fell on Oreo.

Oreo pricked up its ears and listened for a while, then sniffed around on the ground, and finally shook its head, indicating that it couldn't smell any living creatures inside.

Putting away the Beech Spear, Su Mo held the Iron Axe and stepped into the courtyard, feeling alert.

It seemed like he was just looking around randomly, but he had already measured the escape route.

From the courtyard to the outside of the ruins, according to his foot speed, it should be about thirty meters.

An adult's running speed in this terrain is about five meters per second. Even if he was exploring in the house, if something went wrong, leaving the ruins would take no more than ten seconds.

Step by step, Su Mo cautiously walked towards the center of the courtyard, his eyes scanning the three houses beside him.

Pfft! A black shadow flashed past and crashed into Su Mo's Pottery Armor, knocking Su Mo to the ground.

As a low growl sounded, Su Mo, who raised his head in shock, discovered that a terrifying wolfdog had appeared before him!
