Ah~ The First Time "Traveling Far"

The vast wasteland world.

Su Mo was still completely in the dark about not only the unknown underground Ruins, but also the surrounding landscape.

"Take a bottle of mineral water, and a bottle of Psionic Water, all fifty crossbow bolts, the Beech Spear, and the Wolf Tooth Club...emm, take it too."

"Bring some materials, in case there's an emergency."

Su Mo packed things one by one.

Going out to explore was not a child's play, he had to be fully equipped to show the best respect for the apocalypse.

After gathering everything, Su Mo opened the Shelter Door.

It was noon.

A round of scorching sun descended upon the sky like a deity, releasing its mighty power.

However, the time was too short, and the rainwater on the ground had not yet evaporated, leaving puddles everywhere.

"I wonder if Mutated Beasts have survived in this environment."

Su Mo's expression changed.

His mind began to recall the Black Dog he encountered in the Liangfang Town Ruins.

If the Mutated Creatures in the wasteland really became like that, it would be no less than the impending extreme cold disaster for humans now.

Either the Mutated Beasts, like humans, would die as soon as they touched the rainwater.

Or Su Mo hoped it was the former.

After looking at the surrounding environment and confirming that there was nothing unusual, Su Mo returned to the Shelter, took out plant fiber, and began to weave a raincoat for Oreo.

There was a lot of standing water on the ground, and skin contact was lethal.

To explore outside, he had to rely on Oreo's reconnaissance and early warning abilities.

It didn't take long. After putting it in the closet and using 10 Survival Points in the same way, a brand new dog raincoat was produced.

Oreo, who had been cooped up in the Shelter for two days and unable to go out, was overjoyed when he saw his new clothes, jumping and bouncing.

After putting on the raincoat, he ran out of the Shelter in a puff of smoke and began sniffing around.

Seeing this, Su Mo also closed the Shelter Door, confirmed again that everything was brought, turned around and returned to the second passage, and climbed up along the passage.

The current Shelter Door design was still very stupid, it could only be closed and opened from the inside, not from the outside.

Fortunately, there was a second passage, otherwise, it would be over if someone stole his home when he went out.

Climbing out of the second passage of the Shelter, opening the Stone Door covered with a layer of soil, Su Mo came to the back of the Hill.

Under the scorching sun, the Acid Rain Lake sparkled.

After taking a couple of glances and observing that there was nothing unusual at the place where he buried the person last night, he closed the small door, covered it with soil, and Su Mo turned back to the front door.

The straight-line distance between the underground Ruins and the Shelter was three and a half kilometers.

Without considering detours, it would take half an hour to get there.

"Take advantage of the daytime to explore quickly, and I must return before sunset."

Su Mo strode forward.

Although there were potholes on the ground, the nearby terrain was still familiar, and it was not difficult to walk.

Oreo always kept a distance of 200m from Su Mo, responsible for patrolling and scouting Mutated Creatures.

"Woof woof woof!"

After walking more than seven hundred meters, Oreo, who had been calm, suddenly barked, causing Su Mo's heart to tighten.

"There are monsters?"

"Woof!"

Getting Oreo's affirmative answer, Su Mo didn't hesitate and directly activated the Monster Compendium scanning function for the first time today.

[Detected 6 Unicorn Sand Wolves 331 meters away from the player, danger coefficient 48, please treat with caution]

[Today's attempts 2/3]

Su Mo was stunned.

"Unicorn Sand Wolves, and six of them together?"

Opening the Monster Compendium, Su Mo quickly scanned through it and immediately understood the characteristics of this animal.

Previously, the most sold Mutated Beast meat on the trading market was from this Sand Wolf species. As animals that move in packs, their combat power isn't high.

Often, a normal adult male with a weapon can easily defeat two Sand Wolves.

Moreover, the return rate for Sand Wolves is extremely high, not only do they provide meat, but also Sand Wolf skin, Sand Wolf blood, and the possibility of Treasure Chests dropping.

Licking his lips, Su Mo suppressed his thoughts and with a thought, took out the crossbow from his storage backpack.

The lively Oreo, upon encountering enemies, immediately displayed extremely professional combat qualities.

Keeping its body low, sniffing the air, and occasionally twitching its ears to listen, the pace of the man and dog wasn't fast.

Before long, Su Mo, carefully stepping, saw under a large rock a hundred meters away, the Unicorn Sand Wolves lying down to avoid the natural disaster.

"Hah, so these animals also have a natural instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages."

With his good eyesight, Su Mo saw at a glance that four Sand Wolves were lying on the ground resting.

The remaining two Sand Wolves were vigilantly watching their surroundings.

Seeing Su Mo in the distance, the Sand Wolves were stunned for a moment and began to howl in panic.

Whoosh! An arrow pierced through a throat! Taking the life of the roaring Sand Wolf.

While quickly reloading, Su Mo carefully observed the remaining five Sand Wolves.

Now, after being attacked, the Sand Wolves all stood up, roaring and yelling in Su Mo's direction.

They tried to appear intimidating, bluffing with the number of companions around them.

Unfortunately, the Sand Wolves clearly knew the power of the Acid Rain. The puddles on the ground made the Sand Wolves dare not initiate an attack, and they could only rage in place.

"Good opportunity."

After reloading, with just a slight aim, the crossbow arrow shot out again, taking another Sand Wolf's life.

The remaining four Sand Wolves immediately began to howl in panic. One even prepared to escape, but when it touched the still-wet ground with its foot, it quickly retracted its hoof as if it had touched fire.

Seeing the Sand Wolves' reaction, Su Mo raised his eyebrows.

"The first time I used the crossbow, I had full map vision, and the second time, the enemies simply couldn't move. This luck is too good."

He didn't know whether to praise the Sand Wolves for being smart or stupid.

They simply didn't understand why the figure in the distance could shoot arrow after arrow from his hands. With Oreo's threat from the side, all the Sand Wolves could only stand in place as targets.

"Die!"

Without any effort, relying solely on six crossbow arrows, Su Mo easily harvested a nest of Sand Wolves.

From afar, the six Sand Wolves dropped two Treasure Chests, one Wood, and one Iron.

Even if he couldn't enter the underground Ruins on this trip, he had already gained something.

Walking closer, he first retrieved all the crossbow arrows stuck in the Sand Wolves, and then put all the Sand Wolves into his storage space.

Oreo wagged its head and came to Su Mo's feet, showing off its achievements.

Su Mo patted Oreo's head and laughed, "These meats will be yours after they are processed, don't worry, I won't steal them!"

"Woof woof woof!"

Oreo was immediately excited, rubbing its head wildly in Su Mo's palm.

[Record]: You have opened a Wooden Treasure Chest
[Record]: You have obtained Fanta Soda*1
[Record]: You have obtained Master Kong Pickled Cabbage Noodles*1

As the light from the Wooden Treasure Chest dissipated, a bottle of soda and a bucket of instant noodles were left in its place.

"Hiss"

Seeing the instant noodles on the ground, Su Mo immediately felt a rush of saliva in his mouth, and his taste buds bloomed as if he had already absorbed the rich broth of the instant noodles.

Reluctantly putting the two items into his storage space, Su Mo was even more expectant of the Iron Treasure Chest.

Record: You have opened an Iron Treasure Chest
Record: You have obtained Workbench Design Blueprint *1
Record: You have obtained Simple Tool Pliers *1
Record: You have obtained Beaker *1

A series of resource acquisition notifications popped up.

On the ground, a blue design blueprint, a forearm-length iron pliers, and a glass beaker appeared.

"Workbench Design Blueprint, not very useful at this stage, but I'll learn it anyway."

After picking up the design blueprint, crushing it, and learning it, Su Mo grabbed the other two items and threw them into his storage space.

"Too bad, I should have made a ranged weapon earlier."

"But it's just my good luck today, otherwise, those six sand wolves moving quickly would be quite a headache."

Su Mo sighed as he straightened up and set off again.

The entire confrontation between one man, one dog, and six wolves, including harvesting the spoils, only took about ten minutes. With the help of favorable weather, terrain, and people, Su Mo was full of confidence as he faced the road ahead.

After embarking on the journey again, comparing the route with the map, this time, Su Mo walked two kilometers without spotting any Mutated Beasts.

"Maybe Huang Biao and the others cleared out all the Mutated Beasts along the way when they came here. This pack of sand dogs was unlucky; they probably ran to this place to avoid the rain and were caught by me."

Su Mo, who had been tense all the way, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

In the distance, he could already see the terrain marker marked on the map.
