We Must Return to Earth Alive!

Looking at Shen Ke's firm little eyes and her concise, clear military style, Su Mo nodded, tacitly agreeing to Shen Ke's conditions.

The next second.

Shen Ke, who had been serious, couldn't maintain her stern expression any longer, and a bright smile bloomed on her pretty face.

"Su God, now that the Shelter trade is done, can I do another private trade with you?"

A mischievous smile appeared on her charming face.

No one could refuse to hear her request.

"Let's hear the details," Su Mo said with a faint smile, his expression indescribably calm and detached.

"I want to trade you 1L of Psionic Water for electric wire and a Mechanical Controller to write control programs. Oh, and I can add a piece of information."

"Hmm?"

Hearing Shen Ke's words, Su Mo turned his head and realized that his video call had exposed the Generator behind him.

Su Mo shook his head with a wry smile.

No wonder Shen Ke would propose a trade; she had accurately assessed his development needs.

"Don't worry, I'll tell my uncle to help you plan the circuits and stuff when he's drawing the design,"

Seeing Su Mo's expression, Shen Ke quickly continued, afraid that Su Mo would reject her.

One liter of Psionic Water might be an incredibly precious thing in the eyes of others, but they would never know that the Shelter could produce seven liters of this precious stuff a day!

The information asymmetry gave her a huge advantage in the trade.

Su Mo smiled slightly and said, "Okay, I'll trade. That's not a problem. As for the information, how much do you know about the Ruins?"

After thinking about it, Su Mo was really curious about Liangfang Town.

His Ruins were different from everyone else's. There were so many good things inside. As long as he could gather enough weapons to clear a room, he could get unimaginable rewards.

Seeing Su Mo agree, Shen Ke brushed the hair hanging in front of her face behind her ear, thought for a moment, and said calmly, "We've also organized people to explore this Ruins, and we do know a lot of information. But this stuff isn't worth much; everyone will know it sooner or later."

"According to the information we've gathered so far, there are three types of Ruins in total."

"The first type is the Mist Ruins that everyone has mentioned in the chat channel. Players go to all sorts of strange places in these Ruins, but according to the information we've gathered, these Ruins mostly lead to the prehistoric civilizations of our Earth. I can't be sure which ancient civilization it is due to insufficient exploration."

"The second type of Ruins is... well, you know the treasures in novels. Our Earthlings might not be the first species to be exiled here to participate in survival. Other species came here before us, so some people didn't survive the disasters, and their Shelters were left behind, becoming fixed Ruins."

"The third type, we suspect, is that other civilizations are merging with the wasteland world we're currently in. We don't have a definite conclusion yet as to which civilization it is or what their purpose is. There's not enough evidence, and we haven't collected enough information. We can only wait until technology is restored to investigate slowly."

Shen Ke spoke very carefully, explaining the three types of Ruins that had been discovered so far in detail.

Su Mo silently recorded all the information again using the method of messaging dead people, then nodded, indicating that the trade was complete.

"Yay, I'll go get the electric wire and controller for you later~"

Shen Ke stood up with a joyful expression, bouncing and jumping. After saying goodbye to each other, they hung up the video call.

Before long, Shen Ke's trade request was sent over. After confirming that everything was correct, Su Mo uploaded 1100ml of Psionic Water.

And left a message:

"Thank you for the information and your observation skills. This 100ml is a personal gift to you. Survive! For everyone!"

A flash of light passed, and the trade was completed.

In the vast China Shelter.

In an inconspicuous small house, Shen Ke raised her arms and threw all the electric wires into the trade items with a grunt.

"Hehehe, this will show them that I'm not just a girl who can only do clerical work!"

With a silly smile, Shen Ke confirmed the trade and got the Psionic Water.

But when she saw the quantity of the trade items and Su Mo's message, a wave of sadness suddenly surged up.

A little bit of moved tears suddenly burst out, wetting her face that had turned yellow and black due to lack of water.

Realizing that she was crying, the girl's first reaction was not to wipe away the tears, but to greedily lick the tears with her dry lips that had cracked into several bloody openings.

Afterward, the bright girl stopped crying, grabbed an umbrella, and rushed out of the house, shouting, "Don't worry if you catch a cold tonight, we've traded for Psionic Water! Everyone will get some before bed!"

Wow!

Psionic Water!

For minor illnesses, even medicine isn't as effective as the legendary Psionic Water.

In the camp, people who were still working hard late into the night looked up, their eyes filled with gratitude and relief.

They didn't shout!

They didn't cheer!

Because from the first day they entered the Shelter, the rules they received were: conserve energy, don't shout, don't cry, we don't have enough food and water, but we... must live to return to Earth!

"Sigh, it seems I've become a bit withdrawn, no one talks to me, just a stupid dog."

"Humans are truly social animals!"

Looking at the pile of Electric Wire on the ground for setting up circuits, Su Mo, who just wanted to be a lazy bum, lay back down on his small bed.

The stupid dog Oreo also ran over at this time, jumped onto the bed with a thud, and then jumped back down with another thud.

Its black and white dog face was full of provocation.

"You little mutt, you're not happy when I call you a stupid dog, huh? Take this!"

Jumping off the bed, the man and the dog began to chase each other around the Shelter.

Su Mo's hearty laughter echoed throughout the entire Shelter.

After chasing for a while, seeing that Oreo was still running ahead full of energy, Su Mo, panting, had no choice but to sit down on a stool.

Oreo was still teasing him in the distance, and when it saw that Su Mo wasn't chasing, it made a "ha chi ha chi" laughing sound.

"Don't worry, for you, for me, for my parents and sister, I will survive!"

Su Mo said with a firm gaze.

However, when he looked at Oreo, Su Mo's eyes showed a rare hint of tenderness.

After resting for a while, he spread the captured map out on the table.

Su Mo carefully identified the location of the Ruins.

"According to what Shen Ke said, it seems that this marked spot on the map should be where Huang Biao and his group discovered the Ruins."

Huang Biao's group's starting point should be about twenty kilometers away from the Ruins.

"If this Three Row Comb is my base, then the Ruins should be to my west..."

"Three and a half kilometers away!"

The markings on the map used the most primitive form of hieroglyphics.

It was fortunate that they were able to find paper to record, and that they recorded it relatively clearly, otherwise most people wouldn't be able to understand such an "abstract" map.

"These 'X's on here should be the bases they attacked, hiss, what a ruthless bunch of beasts."

After counting, Su Mo was shocked to discover that these five people had been robbing wherever they went.

The red crosses on the map had formed a straight line, with as many as 16 of them.

"Maybe they don't know that destroying a Shelter after someone dies will cause the Shelter core to drop, but even if they did, it wouldn't matter, only placed Shelters can absorb these cores."

"When I'm geared up, maybe I can go west and see if these cores are still there."

During the day and night of Acid Rain disaster, Su Mo had plenty of time to think.

As an ordinary person without any academic advantages, in this apocalypse, everything would depend on that fighting spirit.

Not only did he have to actively inquire about information, but he also had to take the initiative to attack and strengthen himself.

Looking at the treasure pattern on the map, Su Mo raised the corners of his mouth, stood up, and looked towards the west:

"In two more days, when the time comes, let me see what you are."
