Global Tremors! We Rely on This!

"This is the Kobold Castle near our shelter, with over two thousand kobolds!"

"Su God is going to the Kobold Castle to rescue people, everyone stop speculating!"

It's unclear whether someone in the Western Shelter inadvertently leaked the information, but this caused an even bigger uproar in the live stream.

"Saving people? Holy crap, I love it! Su God slashed through thousands of kobolds in a fit of rage to save the hostages. I'm already imagining a domineering CEO scenario in my head!"

"Truly worthy of being called the number one person in China, with both loyalty and righteousness, this is the kind of person who deserves to be called an 'idol'!"

"If you fight the alien race, I'll donate supplies directly to Su God. Su God, I have wood, Iron Block, and copper here. As long as you fight the alien race, we're brothers!"

"Finally, someone has sounded the clarion call for humanity's counterattack! Awesome!"

Almost all Chinese people were shocked to hear that their idol had attacked such a terrifying alien castle to save people! Countless praises and exclamations flooded the screen like a tidal wave, and countless people spontaneously shouted slogans to donate money and supplies.

However, some people are not optimistic about this battle where the odds are so low.

"Su Mo, calm down. As long as you're alive, you can always rebuild. With your current pace of development, I believe that in a few dozen days, defeating this alien race will be no problem. But right now, for the sake of others... young man, you're being too impulsive."

"A petition written in blood by 10,000 people (1/10,000): Su God, don't be impulsive! You're our idol, don't do something so foolish! The right thing to do is to find a way to survive in this post-apocalyptic wasteland!"

"A direct attack is too risky. How about we try negotiating and making a deal with the alien race?"

"In the apocalypse, you can only trust yourself. I don't agree with Su Mo's impulsive actions for the sake of others. It would be too much of a waste if he lost his life."

"To risk your own life to save others, without even knowing if you'll succeed, is too risky. I still support not saving anyone, but focusing on developing your strength and waiting for a chance to get revenge later!"

"Su Zi, listen to your uncle's advice. This castle is too dangerous for you to handle. Wait a year or two until my refuge takes off, then I'll come and help you take control!"

Before a battle in the dead of night even began, countless people spontaneously put themselves in Su Mo's shoes and expressed their opinions.

From initial excitement to gradual calm, as more and more people learned about the characteristics of the kobolds, they began to doubt that Su Mo could win this battle against such a disparate force and successfully rescue the people.

"Nothing on the first floor, just ordinary Kobold Warrior. Every corner has been searched."

"There's no second floor. This floor is also the kobolds' dwelling. Most of the kobolds are concentrated in the front; the rooms in the back are empty."

Unaware of the sensation the live stream had caused, Su Mo remained calm and carefully used the streamer's perspective to slowly examine every corner of the Kobold Castle.

Zhong Qingshu, sitting on the ground, was sketching on the map with a red pen.

After climbing to the third level and finding nothing where people might be hiding, Su Mo's fist slowly hardened.

The lower three floors are the kobolds' residences, while the upper two floors are their core location. Last time, in his haste, Su Mo was unable to see clearly what was on those two floors.

But at this moment, after the streamer's perspective swept up four layers, two places radiating Golden Light suddenly appeared in the field of vision.

"On the fourth floor of the castle, in the room directly opposite the Supply Room we visited last time, there's a layer of Golden Light blocking the view. I tried to enter from the streamer's perspective, but failed!"

"On the fourth floor of the castle, diagonally opposite the Supply Room, there is another room that is inaccessible, which is highly likely!"

Both rooms were enveloped in a thin layer of Golden Light, but this Golden Light acted as an insurmountable barrier, blocking the view from the live stream.

Without pausing, seeing that Zhong Qingshu had finished recording, Su Mo's perspective jumped up to the fifth floor again, this time with more Golden Light in the area.

Furthermore, in the central room, Su Mo saw a pattern slowly emerging from the Golden Light. "This is... the Kobold Ancestral God?"

On the pale yellow Golden Light, as Su Mo observed, a phantom head, not much different from a Kobold Warlock but exuding majesty, flickered.

As the camera zoomed in, just as Su Mo was about to examine the Golden Light pattern to see what it was, the door opened. A dog-headed man in a white robe slowly walked out, his gaze fixed on the spot Su Mo was looking at.

Across the void, the two seemed to be gazing at each other.

Then, with a wave of his staff, the White Robed Kobold's vision went black, and when it cleared again, Su Mo found himself outside the castle.

This time, the entire castle was covered in a light gold, making it impossible to break through and enter.

"Holy crap, what kind of creature is that?"

In a fleeting glance, Su Mo clearly saw the full appearance of the White Robed Kobold.

This was completely different from the bewilderment of the warrior and Warlock Kobold; the White Robed Kobold's eyes were filled with an unnatural "wisdom"! And before leaving, Su Mo seemed to see a hint of caution in the White Robed Kobold's eyes!

"Their fifth floor was also shrouded in Golden Light, so my sister is likely on the fourth or fifth floor."

"If you get in, be very careful of a kobold in a white robe; he may possess supernatural powers beyond our imagination!"

Slowly releasing all the information, Su Mo was not afraid of the unknown threat before him; on the contrary, he became unusually excited.

"The White Robed Kobold isn't strong. He must have noticed me spying on him, but he couldn't do anything to me; he just kept me out."

"This shows that his strength is still within our control, even if he might be a little stronger!"

Su Chan's profile picture was still lit up, indicating that there was no danger.

Since the kobolds weren't holding the enemy there, Su Chan was most likely not in the castle.

But Su Mo didn't want to gamble on that probability.

Now that we've come this far and uncovered all the secrets of the Kobold Castle, the next move can be summed up in two words: let's go!

"Alright, I'll go to the back and wait for your turn. I'll seize the opportunity to enter when you find a chance to strike from the front!"

After completing the reconnaissance and putting away the map, Zhong Qingshu decisively stood up, packed her weapons and equipment, and her eyes became solemn.

"Wait, this is for you."

"Thank you for your help this time. Please be careful!"

Su Mo took out two pistols loaded with bullets and 50 bullets, and solemnly placed them in Zhong Qingshu's hand.

Seemingly sensing the heavy tone of Su Mo's voice, Zhong Qingshu nodded without any emotion on her face, tucked the gun into her leather pocket, and quickly disappeared into the night.

He's ruthless and doesn't talk much.

Such a style is definitely not something an ordinary graduate student from the National University of Defense Technology could do, but Su Mo had no time to care now. After watching Zhong Qingshu leave, he quickly lay down on the ground and began to study how to make the No Conscience Cannon.

The No Conscience Cannon consists of four parts: the launch tube, the propellant, the isolation plate, and the Explosive Pack.

The launch tube serves to provide a simple guide for the Explosive Pack, just like the barrel of a mortar.

The cannon barrels were easy to make. By opening the Trading Market, Su Mo directly purchased fifteen units of Iron Block and spent 12 Disaster Points to create eight Iron Bucket with a considerable caliber using the game's crafting panel.

Using an axe, the back of the Iron Bucket was gently chiseled open, and eight simple yet exceptionally sturdy cannon barrels were made.

The purpose of the propellant is to provide the propulsion for launching the Explosive Pack, which is exactly the same as the function of the basic propellant and auxiliary propellant charge in a mortar shell.

With a production line for Smokeless Gunpowder, Su Mo took out two kilograms of guncotton and used 120 Survival Points to turn it into Smokeless Gunpowder.

The purpose of the isolation plate is to separate the propellant from the Explosive Pack to prevent sympathetic detonation.

The isolation plate is a circular wooden board with a diameter exactly the same as the inner diameter of the launch tube. The propellant is placed below it, and the Explosive Pack is placed on top.

After the propellant is ignited, it directly pushes the isolation plate, and then pushes the Explosive Pack through the isolation plate.

In practical applications, wet soil is sometimes used instead of wooden boards for isolation. A thick layer of wet soil is placed on the spot where the isolation board is placed and compacted to seal the propellant, which serves the same purpose as wooden isolation boards.

The principle is very simple, except that the firing process is different from what is shown in the movie. The cannon barrel must be buried underground in order to use the soil to resist the recoil.

However, with the snow on the ground these days, the tedious step of digging is no longer necessary.

"Everything is ready. All that's left is to wait for everyone to arrive, move the cannons over, and then we can start the battle!"

Clenching his already purple fist, Su Mo switched perspectives again and began searching for Chen Shen and his group within a 50-kilometer radius.

It wouldn't have mattered if he hadn't looked, but once he did, Su Mo was overjoyed.

When Su Mo first came, Chen Shen and his group were not idle. They directly imitated Su Mo's device and created more than a dozen crudely made skateboard devices in the shelter.

Furthermore, these devices were already securely connected before Oreo passed by a second time, so as long as the first person could remain stable, the people behind would be very stable under the wind.

This is what it looks like in the field of vision at this moment. More than ten kilometers away from Su Mo, Oreo is running ahead at a speed of 40 miles per hour, and the people behind him are like greedy snakes, one pulling the one in front, tightly connected, and quickly sliding on the icy and snowy ground.

Thanks to the tailwind, these people did not show any signs of tension; instead, they curiously looked around at the rapidly receding scenery.

Chen Shen, in particular, was carrying a huge Type 80 General Purpose Machine Gun on his back, and his face was full of excitement!

"Good! Very good. Now that we've weathered this disaster, I should be able to begin building my initial team structure."

With such a group of refugees who believed in themselves and were hardworking, Su Mo finally made up his mind to form a team.

A team must be created! As long as we can hold out until the first crop is harvested at the shelter, supporting a dozen or twenty people should not be a problem at all!

The advantage of numbers has been fully demonstrated at this moment.

Going it alone can only develop individual extraordinary abilities, but under the current circumstances, that is clearly unlikely.

Therefore, if we want to develop a technological path, we must find a way to establish departments with distinct responsibilities so that we can move forward in unison.

Lying on the ground, Chen Shen observed the rapidly approaching group while monitoring their movements on the walls of the Kobold Castle. In less than ten minutes, Chen Shen and his group finally arrived!

Looking at Su Mo lying on the ground from afar, and the "War Room" emitting light behind him, the group was extremely excited. However, imitating the scene in the TV series, they quietly crouched down and scurried to Su Mo's side.

"Big Brother Su, how do we fight? Should we just charge in? The brothers don't know how to use these weapons, you'll have to teach us."

The eleven people who came with us were all Chinese people we rescued last time. They were a group of simple and honest refugees, their faces showing embarrassment as they scratched their heads awkwardly.

Looking at this group of "lovable" people, Su Mo shook his head, stood up with a heroic air on his face, and patted the Iron Bucket next to him.

"No need to rush in. With me here today, no one will die."

"Us."

"Damn it!"

I went for two job interviews today, and I'm exhausted. It's so hard to find a job these days, everyone's working 996 (9am-9pm, 6 days a week), I'm completely worn out!
