Having just transmigrated, Zhong Qingshu clearly hadn't yet developed that nonchalant, studious demeanor.

During these days, while the two worked and rested together, Zhong Qingshu also took the time to vividly describe her predicament when she first arrived in the wasteland.

On the first day, she acted just like Su Mo, extremely cautiously. However, Zhong Qingshu didn't have a system, so she naturally went hungry for a whole day, feeling both thirsty and hungry.

It wasn't until the second day, when they had no other choice, that they went out hunting and got their first bite of food.

When she took her first bite of food, she was so excited that she almost cried.

However, Zhong Qingshu in the Time Ruins is definitely not the same as in the real world!

Looking at Su Mo riding a luxurious Off-road Motorcycle and carrying Automatic Rifle in the distance, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

After a full day of observation and chatting on the World Channel and Area Channel, most people now know what has happened in their world.

Just like what happened in the main world, this world was as if the replay button had been pressed, and it was playing from the beginning.

Everyone else was a cooperating actor, except for Su Mo, who became the sole exception in this grand spectacle.

"He did come."

As Su Mo drew closer, Zhong Qingshu was startled, and countless unfamiliar memories seemed to flash through her mind.

In an instant, a familiar feeling came over me.

She instinctively wanted to say the name, but it got stuck in her throat.

A strange warning popped into my mind.

"Cooperate with him to complete the mission?"

A strange conclusion made Zhong Qingshu involuntarily continue to retreat, and the door of the wooden house was slammed shut, leaving only a small crack.

"Please do not enter my shelter, or else... or I will call the police!"

"The wasteland is not a lawless zone; please abide by the law!"

Hearing Zhong Qingshu's trembling voice, Su Mo burst into laughter from behind his mask.

When I first met Zhong Qingshu, she was already capable of taking on more than a dozen kobolds by herself, which was incredibly brave.

But who would have thought that she would look like such a delicate young woman when she first arrived in the wasteland?

"Hello, my name is Su Mo, I mean no harm!"

"I came to see you on the behalf of a friend, so please don't worry."

Squeeze the brakes to turn off the Off-road Motorcycle, then make a gesture towards the air, and the M-1 Rifle obediently falls into the Storage Space.

Incidentally, Su Mo also pulled off his mask, revealing his handsome and confident face.

Good looks are still quite useful when people don't know each other. With the help of the enhanced vision from the Psionic Water, Su Mo was able to clearly see that Zhong Qingshu breathed a sigh of relief after seeing her face under the mask.

If the face under the mask was a rugged bearded man with scars, Zhong Qingshu would probably be running away with a bucket like Maeda Kento right now.

As for the stranger, after glancing at the luxurious supplies in the Storage Space, Su Mo smiled slightly, his confidence growing even stronger.

Does being unfamiliar matter? You'll only exist in the Time Ruins for a few days; once you leave, they'll collapse and disappear forever.

These supplies can't be taken away, so I won't feel bad even if they're completely wasted.

Therefore, Su Mo's style of doing things was completely different from usual, entirely "idealistic" and 100% "comfortable"! With a thought, he withdrew his hand and made a slight gesture towards the air.

The next second, he took out a 500ml bottle of mineral water and a golden, crispy baked Dead Dough Pancake.

Zhong Qingshu had no food and no water.

Upon seeing what Su Mo was holding, she was visibly startled for a moment, and then revealed an expression even more wary than before.

"Oh my, you're really going after me, aren't you!"

Seeing the former academic star now looking so wary, Su Mo, who had always been suppressed by his intelligence, could no longer maintain his composure.

"Zhong Qingshu, I'll leave your things here for now. I'll be staying next to you for the next few days, so we'll be neighbors from now on!"

Placing the flatbread and water on the wooden floor beside him, Su Mo slowly stepped back a few paces, pushed his Off-road Motorcycle to the side of Zhong Qingshu's refuge, took out the Tortoise Shell core he had obtained directly, and selected to create.

This wasn't the first time Su Mo had created a shelter, so he was quite adept at it and directly chose the same type of above-ground shelter!

After a few seconds of thunder, a wooden house rose from the ground.

The wooden house was located right next to Zhong Qingshu's wooden house, and the two formed a perfect parallel line.

"You"

"From now on, you'll be my neighbor!" With a wave of his hand, Su Mo felt even more relaxed seeing Zhong Qingshu's bewildered expression.

A simple wooden hut can't compare to a luxurious Underground Shelter.

Despite only sleeping for a few days, Su Mo still took a torch and went to the nearby bushes to begin his nighttime work.

On the empty wasteland, they were completely unconcerned about the behavior of the Mutated Beast mentioned by most people on the World Channel.

In Zhong Qingshu's view, it was simply extremely "arrogant and domineering"! However, the sense of security that followed made her suppress the increasingly strange memories in her mind.

In her eyes, there was a strange person by her side who was powerful, acted strangely, and whom she didn't know at all.

To some extent, the panic of being transported to the wasteland did lessen.

On the other hand, as a seasoned survivor in the wasteland, and with the special training from the system, Su Mo's carpentry skills have become increasingly proficient.

With a fine axe, cutting down bushes was as easy as chopping vegetables, and in no time at all, they had collected enough wood and plant fiber.

"Hmm, if manufacturing is free, it's much more convenient than a workbench!"

As the Wooden Bed, Bedside Table, dining table, and two stools slowly appeared before him, Su Mo nodded in satisfaction.

As for the bedding, after glancing at the items currently for sale on the Trading Market, it only cost the price of three 500ml bottles of water.

Amidst the shouting and commotion on the World Channel, Su Mo didn't even bother to haggle; he simply placed an order for a brand-new, luxurious quilt.

"For just 1.5L, which is only three bottles of water, I can get such comfortable bedding. What a bargain!"

The soft bedding feels incredibly comfortable to hold, and even without any special abilities, it can bring immense satisfaction in the dead of night.

At this moment, Su Mo completely forgot the predicament he had faced when he first transmigrated to the wasteland.

"The blizzard hasn't arrived yet, and prices are still so low. As long as I have access to drinking water, it's like billions of people are working for me."

After laying out the bedding and looking at the darkness outside, Su Mo returned to the wooden house to continue tidying up the defensive perimeter.

Meanwhile, Zhong Qingshu temporarily ignored the panicked reminders from everyone on the World Channel.

"Su Mo. Is Su Mo someone I know?"

After racking her brains, Zhong Qingshu sat blankly on the ground, holding her head and carefully recalling all her friends with the surname Su from the time she could remember until before she transmigrated.

After carefully searching through everything from Su Shi in elementary school textbooks to Asian sprinter Su Bingtian, Zhong Qingshu was certain that she had never seen the names Su Mo before.

I opened the World Channel World Channel saw other people arguing over a bite of food or a sip of water, with countless people struggling on the verge of death, looking like they were about to die.

Then look at the thick flatbread placed at the entrance of his shelter, and a 500ml bottle of Nongfu Spring.

Touching the back of her head, Zhong Qingshu was a little confused about what she was doing.

However, the burning sensation in my stomach from the lack of food was very real, and the smell of the flatbread made the feeling even worse.

My stomach is twitching.

My parched throat is protesting!

Watching the busy figure moving between the bushes and the cabin, Zhong Qingshu suddenly went all out, sitting on the edge of the cabin in a huff, and started chugging Nongfu Spring.

Sweet spring water gurgled down his feverish throat.

At this moment, a two-yuan bottle of Nongfu Spring feels so wonderful.

Hmm, this water smells really good, it's definitely not poisonous!

After drinking half a bottle in one go, feeling her throat finally no longer thirsty, Zhong Qingshu opened her eyes with satisfaction.

Then, in her vision, that increasingly familiar face quietly appeared before her eyes.

"Are you finished? Want some more? I have some more here!"

With a loud crash, three cases of Nongfu Spring landed neatly on the ground, causing the wooden floor to shake violently.

"Drink it all, there'll be more after you finish!"

Smiling and nodding, Su Mo looked at Zhong Qingshu's blushing face and returned to his hut to continue his work, tidying up the surrounding area.

Opportunities to make Zhong Qingshu lose face are few and far between.

In the real world, she seems to have a natural ability to predict what he's going to say.

Once they arrived here, the two of them felt much more comfortable with each other.

Similarly, after seeing Su Mo's exaggerated extravagance, Zhong Qingshu held her head and thought for a moment, then shook her head in embarrassment and annoyance.

However, her nimble little hands never stopped moving throughout the process.

One piece, two pieces, the large pancakes broken into small pieces entered my mouth and slid down into my stomach along with Nongfu Spring.

Even without any food, Zhong Qingshu, who had been living in fear all day, ate with great relish.

She ate two-thirds of the large pancake, which weighed more than half a pound, before slowly stopping.

"Hey, do you want some? Otherwise, I've already finished eating!"

Zhong Qingshu shook the large pancake in her hand and shouted.

"Eat as much as you want, I have more here, and I'll make you more if you need more!"

Standing in front of his hut, Su Mo smiled and took out a bag of flour, placing it on the ground.

Thump! White flour spurted out from the small gap in the bag with the impact, flying freely in the air.

Under the moonlight, the flour seemed to blend into the moonlight and fall silent.

Silence, silence, is Cambridge tonight!

Faced with the nouveau riche in the wasteland, Zhong Qingshu lost, lost completely, and lost wholeheartedly!

While others lived in constant fear, worried about being attacked by creatures at night, they looked at Su Mo in the distance—not particularly muscular, but full of powerful beauty. Suddenly...

A strangely clear image appeared before her eyes.

Were the two of them standing in front of a huge floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the city in the distance? Thank you to the "Serious Life Youth" Alliance Master for the reward, and thank you to the "Ye Shan Xiu" Alliance Master for the reward. I was hit by a car and suffered a hand injury, so I will owe you an extra chapter for now. I will make up for it as soon as I recover!
