Healing, Counting the Harvest!

The mist-shrouded Ruins began to fade abruptly as Su Mo stepped out, as if truly transforming into mist.

At this moment, the Black Dog's corpse, which Su Mo had brought out impaled on the Beech Spear, also became illusory along with the mist.

A gentle breeze swept past, turning it into dust.

"What a pity, I thought this thing was so fierce, I could have pulled it out and identified what kind of monster it was."

Summoning the game panel and tapping on the Monster Compendium, Su Mo scanned while regretting.

[No mutated creatures detected within a one-kilometer radius of the player]
[Today's attempts: 1/3]

The Shelter is surrounded by wasteland, and large animals can basically be observed with the naked eye.

To be safe, Su Mo still used one attempt.

Dragging his tired body back to the Shelter, after closing the Wooden Door, the long-lost sense of security returned.

Streams of pain also surged out along with the sense of security.

Taking off the Pottery Armor, a trace of piercing pain made his scalp tingle.

The effect of force is mutual. Although the Pottery Armor blocked the Black Dog's impact, the resulting recoil still caused a patch of bruising on Su Mo's chest.

To hold the Beech Spear, the skin on his palms had also been rubbed open. Looking at it under the sunlight, it was bloody.

Other painful areas of the body were due to sudden exertion, resulting in soft tissue contusions, which were not a major issue.

"Woof~ Awoo"

Oreo lowered its head and kept circling around Su Mo. Although dogs can't speak, its concern was sincere.

Enduring the pain, Su Mo squeezed out a smile: "Good boy, I'm fine. We just stumbled this time. Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Next time, I'll let them taste what Modernized Weapons are!"

"Awoo awoo"

Oreo raised its dog head, obviously not understanding what Su Mo meant by Modernized Weapons.

"What a cute furball."

Oreo was clearly not an ordinary pet. As a Mutated Creature from the apocalypse, its ability to understand human speech added a layer of mystery to it.

While comforting Oreo, he moved to the side of the bucket containing Psionic Water.

Picking up a water cup and drinking a full cup, the burning sensation in his chest immediately subsided a lot, and even the wounds on his hands felt a tingling itch.

Raising his hand, some of the slightly peeling wounds began to heal under the effect of the Psionic Water, and the larger wounds also stopped bleeding.

Learn from a fall, grow from a pit.

After this exploration of the Ruins, Su Mo finally faced up to the necessity of fighting in the apocalypse.

Simply hiding and avoiding battle would only push himself into a place of eternal doom.

In peaceful times, you have to compete; in the chaotic apocalyptic wasteland, you have to compete even more!

Psionic Water is not a panacea. Even with unlimited drinking, after 300ml, it lost its healing effect on minor wounds.

Picking up the mirror left over from cutting the skylight ventilation duct, Su Mo stared intently.

Due to inheriting his parents' outstanding looks, the young man in the mirror had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, with a youthful and delicate beauty. The spots of blood on his face and messy hair not only didn't make him look sloppy, but instead exuded a masculine aura. The extremely perfect jawline, with its beautiful curve, made his profile even more attractive.

Looking down, Su Mo saw his chest in the mirror.

When he looked down earlier, it was a purplish-red color with stagnant bruises, extremely terrifying.

After drinking the Psionic Water and stimulating the hidden healing effect, the bruises had begun to circulate slowly, and the purplish-red color had turned into a slightly bloody purple.

Nodding, Su Mo put down the Psionic Water cup.

The time from when he stepped into the Ruins was probably around nine o'clock in the morning, and by the time he left the Ruins, it was already at least four o'clock in the afternoon.

This was completely inconsistent with the previous information he had gathered that he could only stay in the Ruins for two hours.

Opening the private message panel and finding Feng Mengyue, Su Mo proactively sent a message.

[Su Mo: Hello, I would like to ask you for more information about the Ruins. I can use Psionic Water as a reward.]

After sending the message, and waiting for another two or three minutes of delay, Feng Mengyue's reply came.

[Feng Mengyue: Hello, Su God. What would you like to know? If you want to know the source of the Bulletproof Glass, I'm sorry, but the Ruins from this morning didn't refresh again, and even I can't enter it.]

[Su Mo: I want to know everything you saw and heard after entering the Ruins, because I also entered the Ruins once. I will use my experience to judge the authenticity of the information. I hope we can have a pleasant transaction.]

Without choosing to be evasive, Su Mo chose to tell the truth.

In fact, from the moment he entered the Ruins, he keenly noticed that his Ruins were different from others.

The area was too large! The Ruins that others encountered, even if large, allowed them to stand and barely see what was deep inside.

But his Ruins, just the periphery alone, took him more than 20 minutes to walk around without being able to see what was inside.

[Feng Mengyue: Okay, but it will take some time. I'm in the wild right now, and it's not very convenient. How about this, Su God? I'll describe it to you in words when I get back to the Shelter, and you can give me water according to the value. It's not a big secret anyway.]

After replying with an "Okay," Su Mo closed the private chat channel.

He was now 100% sure that something was wrong with his Ruins! Opening his inventory, Su Mo began to take things out one by one.

First, he took out the most "valuable" item among these things: the television.

[32-inch Color Television (Fine)]

Description: A technological product from an unknown era, mainly composed of five parts: a power circuit, a common channel, an audio channel, a color decoding circuit, and a color image display system. The picture has 25 frames per second and 625 lines per frame.

Special Ability: When placed and powered on in the Shelter, it can monitor the surrounding one kilometer of the Shelter, with the ability to zoom in, zoom out, and switch perspectives.

Evaluation: In front of this television, you, me, her! No privacy! (Righteously!)

"Holy crap, there's such a bug-level thing?"

The television's attributes astonished Su Mo.

The ordinary-looking television in the Ruins actually had such a bug-level function outside the Ruins.

If he could power the television, it would mean that Su Mo would have absolute initiative within a kilometer.

Not understanding the working principle of the television didn't matter. Just this powerful, scientifically unexplainable function was enough to drive people crazy.

Sure enough, risk and reward were the same.

At this moment, Su Mo's desire for electricity reached its peak.

Speaking of which, since transmigrating here, he hadn't played with his phone for three days. Now that he had some free time, he immediately felt the importance of electricity.

After carefully putting the power strip away, a bold idea suddenly appeared in Su Mo's mind.

"If this town even has televisions... it might have generators!"

Such a large town had no reason not to have strategic materials like generators in reserve.

Thinking of this, Su Mo's mind immediately became active.

"As long as I have Modernized Weapons, those monsters from before are nothing to worry about. Maybe I can quickly develop the Shelter with the help of the Ruins!"

Keeping all his expectations in his heart, Su Mo continued to look at the moldy bedding he had stolen.

[Kang Three-Piece Set (Common)]

Description: Consists of a quilt, a bed sheet, and a pillow.

Special Ability: The unique fabric slightly improves comfort and also has a certain ability to isolate moisture.

Evaluation: The white bed sheets have no love, but this red mandarin duck three-piece set makes up for it!

Opening a common-level item, Su Mo wasn't discouraged.

He hadn't had high hopes when he took this item. It was already very rare for a moldy quilt to have the special ability to slightly increase comfort.

While there was still sunlight outside, Su Mo walked out of the Shelter and spread the three-piece set flat on the ground where it could be exposed to the sun, allowing the bedding to fully receive sunlight to remove the mold.

Actually, if there were conditions, Su Mo would still be willing to wash these things with water before taking them out to dry.

However, with the current living situation, everything had to be simplified.

Back in the Shelter, Su Mo successively took out the table, tea set, and seasonings he had taken before.

This time, unfortunately, the game panel couldn't recognize these items at all and could only treat them as ordinary furniture, cups, and seasonings.

However, the half bag of Exquisite Flour he had obtained in the kitchen made Su Mo happy.

[Exquisite Flour (Excellent)]

Description: Creamy white in color, between high and low gluten flour, with a semi-loose texture, suitable for steamed buns, mantou, noodles, etc.

Special ability: The flour has an automatic dust removal function, is not easily spoiled or moldy, and is suitable for long-term storage.

Evaluation: What? Looking at it, don't you want to make a bowl of oil-splashed noodles and devour (die) it?
