Having... Having a Car!

Chapter 39: I... I have a car!

The skull on the ground didn't emit a poof sound like in novels, with ghostly flames overflowing from its eye sockets, nor did it shout presumptuously, standing up directly and roaring:

"The Dou Sheng ahead, dare to dismount and battle me!"

It just lay there askew, gazing at you with empty eyes.

Honestly, although everyone already knew that this world was vastly different from what they knew before after transmigrating.

But seeing a skeleton scattered on the ground with your own eyes still inevitably caused a wave of fear.

After all, humans have a natural fear of ghosts and spirits.

Su Mo looked at the scene before him, his heart churning rapidly.

He gently moved his steps, trying to avoid the skull's line of sight.

Bang! Su Mo carefully took a step to the left, but unexpectedly stepped on something on the ground, making a crisp sound.

Looking down, he immediately felt his scalp tingle.

"Forgive me, forgive me, old brother, I didn't mean to, sorry for disturbing you!"

A section of white bone arm, under Su Mo's trampling, had now broken into two pieces, with a crack opening along the middle.

By the light of the torch, Su Mo looked around, and it wasn't just this bone arm; bone fragments were scattered everywhere on the ground.

"I wonder who this old brother was, too miserable..."

Looking at the skeleton lying on the ground with only its head still intact, Su Mo smiled wryly while making way for the broken bones on the right.

The floor of the Ruins seemed to be made of concrete. On the ground, one could see a lot of feline fur scattered around.

After thinking about it, Su Mo took out the last unused Torch from his inventory and chose to light it.

In the pitch-black Ruins, using a flashlight was really terrifying.

It was just like tomb raiding. If you added some background music, it could totally be turned into a horror movie.

When the bright Torch light appeared in the Ruins, Su Mo finally had time to take a good look at the surrounding furnishings.

This room in the Ruins wasn't big. Standing near the door, Su Mo could vaguely see the things inside.

Concentrating his attention, Su Mo regretfully discovered that, for some reason, the game panel's appraisal function and the survival system's appraisal had been sealed.

Calling it a Ruins was less appropriate than calling it an underground Shelter.

"Recording my Shelter as Shelter Number One, then this underground Ruins will be temporarily referred to as Shelter Number Two."

Opening his usual dead-man private message, finding the dead-man friends he had added before, Su Mo began to record what he saw and heard.

Memories can deceive, but words won't.

After recording what he saw and heard, perhaps after careful analysis back at the Shelter, he could find loopholes.

Walking to the door, the first exploration record began to appear in the chat box.

"Doomsday Calendar, January 6th, first entry into Shelter Number Two."

"The door of Shelter Number Two, based on simple touch and sound, is preliminarily judged to be composed of iron or steel of unknown material through hearing. The feel is similar to the Alloy Gate of the civilized era. The degree of firmness remains to be tested, with no traces of water leakage."

"The walls are made of unknown materials. According to observation, it is currently preliminarily suspected to be a Reinforced Concrete product or an unknown building stone material, with extremely high strength. Observation of the hole at the top shows that the wall thickness is approximately 25cm."

"The floor has mysterious patterns, with varying numbers and shapes, not forming symmetrical graphics with reference significance, and no information transmission is detected. Currently, there is no specific reference value (highlight, need to investigate)."

"There are dozens of unknown feline animal hairs (picked up), and one humanoid skeleton (currently unable to determine if it is human, to be investigated)."

"There are scattered tables around, and overturned utensils on the ground. There are no paper records, and the game panel cannot be used to view attributes, the reason is unknown."

"Combining the previous signs, it is highly likely that it has been explored by an unknown entity (highlight: explosion, hair) beforehand, and most of the valuable things have been moved away or destroyed!"

"At the innermost side of the Shelter, there is an abandoned deep well similar to a Youneng well. Initially, the smell emits a strange fragrance, um, a bit intoxicating, and the mood becomes pleasant after smelling it."

"Judging from another sniff... there's a smell of blueberry jam."

"Judging from another sniff... there's a wonderful smell of being under heather flowers in spring."

"Su Mo, ah, Su Mo, how can you be so greedy for enjoyment? Have you forgotten what you came here to do?"

"Smell it again to judge."

"Cross out the entire section."

"Attempted to manually raise and lower the abandoned well, discovered the method was incorrect, and the device is already stuck, the current reason is unknown (key investigation!!!!)"

"In the corner of the shelter, a straight ladder leading downwards was found, with a small amount of feline animal hair falling on the ladder, stuck on the edge of the ladder (collect)"

"Following the ladder down, fourteen steps, Shelter Second Floor was discovered (highlight), found a vehicle suspected to be from a civilized society??!!!"

Holding the torch, while distractedly recording, Su Mo, who was recalling the smell of the abandoned well, was stunned.

As Su Mo's thoughts dissipated, the game panel began to slowly disappear before his eyes.

However, all of this failed to attract Su Mo's attention in the slightest.

Because on the underground second floor, Su Mo saw the vehicle placed in the middle at a glance.

"Isn't this just the buggy from PUBG?"

A triangular roll cage reinforced the vehicle's frame, with an engine placed behind it that was a bit smaller than a generator, but with significantly more refined craftsmanship.

A single-seat, still a "luxurious" four-sided ventilated convertible, without the restriction of glass, allowing the driver to fully feel the caress of nature while driving.

In terms of overall appearance, except for a few places on the frame that were bent due to external force impacts, and the tires being completely flat, the shape was clearly a buggy.

Human civilization? Su Mo didn't know.

If this place hadn't been looted, perhaps through the details inside, he could have known the owner's identity.

However... the current state of disarray had already destroyed any possibility of leaving the owner's identity behind, even the surroundings of the second floor... "Hmm? Is this character 'car'?"

Looking at the left side of the wall, at a pictograph resembling the character "car" (chē) (car), Su Mo subconsciously looked at the only buggy on the second floor.

Looking to the right, an arrow-shaped indicator was pointing directly at the buggy in the center.

The meaning was self-evident.

"Does the owner of the Ruins want to convey some information through this car?"

Su Mo frowned, trying his best to think about whether he had missed anything after coming down.

From Liangfang Town in the Mist Ruins, to the traces in the underground Ruins that seemed to be left by his own people, others were playing violent, head-on games, but he was playing a brain-teasing puzzle game.

Su Mo's heart stirred, and he began to connect all the details after discovering the Ruins and entering the Ruins to analyze them.

Time passed by minute by minute.

One hypothesis after another was rejected, and all the clues pointed to one place.

Shaking his head, Su Mo quickly walked to the buggy's fuel tank, he decided to verify his guess based on these instructions.

Unfortunately, after opening the fuel tank cap and taking a look, as expected, the fuel in the tank had already evaporated, leaving not a drop.

The diesel in the shelter could be used in this type of oil car that uses both diesel and gasoline, but because the storage space was too small, he didn't bring it with him when he came out.

"I wonder if there's any diesel or gasoline in here..."

If the buggy was intact and could still be driven, there would be no place in the world he couldn't go!

Holding the torch, Su Mo was just about to squat down carefully on the ground to look for diesel barrels.

But suddenly, a huge noise came from outside! "Woof woof woof~ Awoo"

"Woof!"

"Woof!"

First, Oreo's signature barking sounded, followed by two more dog barks with extremely strange tones, as if humans were imitating them.

"Damn it! It's Oreo's warning sound, 'people' are coming outside!"

In an instant, Su Mo quickly extinguished the torch, flipped his hand to take out the crossbow that had already been cocked, and rushed up to the first floor.
