Snowy Night Raid, Erha's Authority!
"Pleasant my ass, you son of a bitch!"
Hearing the game's notification sound, Su Mo almost didn't think twice, immediately got out of bed, quickly dressed, and rushed out.
"You dog game, didn't you say this time the target audience was 17? My sister's only 16 and you're already targeting her? What the hell?"
While quickly sketching his sister's image in his mind with Pointing Needle, Su Mo vented his anger by cursing loudly.
She has long hair tied in a ponytail, usually wears a dark blue school uniform, has a shallow dimple when she smiles, and likes to eat cake. Looking at the information bar, which is already two-thirds full as she recalls, Su Mo continues to quickly input more information.
My younger sister is currently sixteen years old, and her birthday is the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month.
December 23rd? Birthday?
"Damn! You're considered 17 after midnight? What kind of rule is that?"
Thinking back to his birthday, and seeing his information bar suddenly fill up, Su Mo finally understood the source of his heart palpitations during the day.
At midnight, the blizzard was at its strongest, and the perceived temperature had dropped to an unimaginable level.
In this kind of weather, without thick clothing and without immediately setting up a wooden house or Underground Shelter, one probably wouldn't even last five minutes.
While the Pointing Needle was spinning erratically, Su Mo quickly switched to the friend adding panel, found Su Chan's avatar, and clicked to add her.
One point was deducted, but the next second Su Mo almost couldn't hold back and roared out in anger again:
"Adding a friend requires points, and my sister doesn't have any points to add. Is it fair to distribute points at a time like this?!"
"Why even bother with these distribution rules? Isn't this blatant murder?!"
The green Game Panel looked utterly repulsive at that moment.
Out of sight, out of mind, Su Mo immediately closed the Game Panel and quickly loaded supplies into his Storage Space.
Within the three-square-meter space, all clutter was removed, leaving nothing inside.
All five loaded rifles were taken away, and the two machine guns with ammunition belts were also placed in the Storage Space.
Sixty Explosive Pack, all the bullets, ten bottles of Psionic Water, and a large, filling Plain Flour Pancake.
Before Su Mo could be fully stored in the Storage Space, the Pointing Needle finally stopped jumping, revealing a precise direction and an intuitive number.
Just one look and Su Mo almost fainted and collapsed to the ground.
Seventy-three kilometers to the northwest.
Roughly speaking, this location is probably less than two kilometers away from the Kobold Castle.
It's even highly likely that it's near the kobolds' castle.
An uncontrollable palpitation, accompanied by a frantic twitching of his right eyelid, surged through him. Su Mo took two steps in three, biting his lip, and rushed straight to the basement door.
At that moment, the winch was subjected to unprecedented force, and almost instantly it was pulled to its peak.
Whoosh! Whoosh! A violent, almost insane storm, accompanied by a flurry of snowflakes, rushed into the garage like a hail of bullets.
After taking two steps outside, Su Mo's heart sank.
In this awful weather, let alone driving the Earth Tiger out, even walking 70 kilometers to the Kobold Castle would take at least six hours!
"¥##!@"
He swore in his dialect again, looked at the storm outside, and with Su Mo head covered, returned to the Earth Tiger. He started the car, slammed on the gas, and sped off.
Whether this path is passable or impassable, we should still take it!
A car can be rebuilt, but if your sister is gone, she's truly gone!
"Kobolds, you scourges! This time I will wipe you all out!" Suppressing his rage, Earth Tiger rammed his head into the ice and snow.
I was almost standing up when, as soon as I stepped out of the garage, a violent gust of wind, mixed with blizzard, blew in and overturned the car.
The wind was crosswind, and the impact area of the ground tiger was too large. In addition, the vehicle body was smooth. After it fell to the ground, it was blown forward by the wind and began to slide.
In this kind of weather, people can still walk, but it's too difficult for an earthworm to move!
With great effort, Su Mo climbed out of the car and saw the Earth Tiger lying on its side. He gritted his teeth, mustered all his strength, and pushed the car against the storm, trying to flip it over.
But under such natural disasters and storms, there is no way that human power can fight against them.
Before Su Mo could even fight back for a few seconds, another gust of wind blew in, and on the smooth snow, the Earth Tiger was blown away like a giant toy, sliding into the distance.
"Damn, the wind is too strong! The weight of the Earth Tiger can't withstand the impact of the storm at all!"
"The excavator's card hasn't been unsealed yet, so we must find a way to strengthen the Earth Tiger's counterweight."
Su Mo gripped the Earth Tiger Car tightly with his hands, trying to fix it to the ground.
But how can human strength overcome nature? After being carried forty or fifty meters, Su Mo could only let go of his hands and watch as the Earth Tiger continued to be blown away into the distance. He lay on the ground, temporarily exhausted.
In such blizzard conditions, the chances of vehicles getting around are extremely slim.
There was only a sliver of hope if the Earth Tiger was evolved into a snowmobile or a tracked vehicle. However, upon opening the upgrade panel, Su Mo felt a chill run down his spine! Upgrading a snowmobile required tens of thousands of points, and even upgrading an all-terrain tracked vehicle required upgrading the drive sprocket, which, along with the road wheels, idler wheels, and track rollers, formed a flexible chain. The cheapest upgrade cost at least 6,700 points! "Only 700 points short!"
"Could this truly be the will of Heaven?"
In the pitch-black snowy night, without a single ray of light, the Pointing Needle compass still stubbornly pointed towards the Kobold Castle despite the howling wind.
Watching the numbers fluctuate between 73 and 74, Su Mo was initially extremely anxious, quickly calmed down, and a glimmer of hope rose in his heart.
"The more this happens, the less you should rush!"
"The only place near this drop-off point is the Kobold Castle. In this weather, the kobolds are unlikely to go out, so my sister should be safe for now."
As he pondered and watched the numbers slowly disappear while the pointer remained stationary, Su Mo forced himself to his feet and, braving the storm, made his way step by step toward the shelter.
No car? No big problem!
Traveling in the snow using the most primitive human tools is not unprecedented on Earth! If there is no power source, then let the "storm" become the driving force and make tools driven by wind power.
"By building a sled and harnessing the wind, I can achieve speeds comparable to those of the Earth Tiger!"
Thinking as you walk, against the headwind, you can walk steadily, but it is very physically demanding.
As the snow slope of the Underground Shelter came into view, Su Mo felt dizzy in the storm and slipped and fell to the ground.
In such a strong wind, a distance of just over a hundred meters makes humans seem so small.
Physical strength is being rapidly depleted.
The cold rapidly draws heat from the body.
Even with the Combat Suit's timed heating function, it couldn't stop the terrifying cooling caused by the violent movement of molecules due to the storm.
With his last breath, Su Mo charged forward and crashed through the open entrance of the shelter.
The gust of wind vanished in a flash, and my tense body began to relax quickly.
"System, create a tool that allows your creatures to travel in this weather. Filter criteria: below 6000 points, for use in harsh environments."
With a thought, the system reliably listed all the options available.
The sled had 800 points, which was within the range of options, but considering his own skill level, Su Mo quickly looked down.
Toboggans, ranging from the cheapest single-kick to double-kick, are priced between 3,000 and 6,000!
"What should we choose?"
As Su Mo quickly flipped through the panel, a familiar dog face appeared.
Oreo? Hmm? Sensing Su Mo's distraction, the System Panel disappeared, revealing the previously hidden Oreo, along with something else that was still in Oreo mouth.
"Is this Hemp Rope, or a skateboard?"
The thin Hemp Rope had already dragged for more than ten meters on the snow, and the orange-yellow skateboard was in Oreo's mouth, inevitably causing him to drool.
"You mean you can pull me away?"
Seeing Oreo nod, Su Mo was overjoyed and immediately stood up.
Once it was past midnight, Oreo, having seen something, started twitching on the ground and was in a hurry to leave. Su Mo didn't care what Oreo was doing in the base.
Looking at Oreo's appearance, Su Mo's eyes quickly focused on the skateboard, and a phantom attribute appeared: [Skateboard]
[Description]: An ordinary skateboard, with nothing special about it.
[Upgrade Direction 1]: Snow Skateboard, with better angle, better smoothness, and better material composition. It can carry two people and has a scientific locking design to ensure that users will not fall off the snowboard due to excessive speed. Survival Points (440) are required.
[Upgrade Direction 2]: Sky Skateboard, equipped with a pneumatic device and Gliding Wing device, can use the airflow to generate a brief wind to take off, greatly enhancing the material of the skateboard and significantly improving the quality of the skateboard. Requires Survival Points (8859).
[Review]: Who wouldn't want a Green Goblin skateboard?
Seeing the two paths presented by the system, Su Mo chose the first path almost without thinking and quickly tied a knot in the Hemp Rope, placing it around Oreo's neck.
Once Oreo has completed its evolution, it has reached the size of an adult Erha on Earth.
With strong, powerful muscles and ample replenishment of Psionic Water, long-distance sledding and running are entirely possible in this kind of weather.
"Oreo, thank goodness you're here!"
Patting Oreo's head and looking at Oreo's adorable appearance, Su Mo stood on the Snow Skateboard and tied the other end of the Hemp Rope around his waist.
Skateboarding can be considered the ancestor of extreme sports, with many extreme sports derived from it.
Compared to snowmobiles, being pulled by Oreo scooter allows for easy adjustments based on wind direction, making it undoubtedly safer.
After straightening his clothes and tensing his thighs to squat down like someone skiing on TV, Su Mo could only grip the rope tightly and pray for divine intervention.
Su Mo has lived in the south most of the world since childhood, and has only seen snow a handful of times. Naturally, she has never skied before, so this is her first time.
Unfortunately, before Su Mo could even bow down to Buddhism from Daoism, Oreo tilted his head back and let out a mournful wolf howl.
"Awooo!"
Under the snowy night, with the storm still blowing, and amidst the snowflakes, in Su Mo's sight, the snowflake mark on Oreo's head suddenly lit up.
As if connected with the power between heaven and earth, the snowflakes falling outside the shelter seemed to be guided, no longer falling to the ground, but magically being absorbed into Oreo's body.
Half a meter, one meter! Two meters!
As the snowflakes blended in, Oreo's size seemed to inflate like a balloon, transforming in the blink of an eye from about 80 centimeters long into a giant wolf three meters long! Its powerful thigh muscles and dog head, large enough for a person to close, left no doubt about just how terrifying its power could be!
Oreo
Standing at the back, even Su Mo felt his palms sweat when he saw Oreo like that.
However, the next second, when Oreo turned around and revealed his signature wicked and arrogant look, Su Mo laughed, and all the fear of the unknown in his heart vanished!
The future is uncertain, but there is always a way out. If the Oreo of the past only had the ability to resist the wind and snow, then the power of the current Oreo is enough to break through the storm barrier and defy fate!
He tightened the ropes binding him again, bent down, put the Pointing Needle in his pocket, and looked at the unknown future Su Mo hope in his eyes.
"Charge! Target: Kobold Castle!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Oreo turned around, his gaze resolute. He pushed off the floor with his two strong legs and carried Su Mo out of the shelter, quickly running through the blizzard.
This time, under Oreo's terrifying power, the blizzard could no longer stop it in the slightest.
On the pitch-black snowfield, a man and a dog seemed to transform into black and white lightning, speeding at a speed of no less than 60 kilometers per hour!
