Golden Light Suddenly Appeared, and the Magic Carpet Arrived!

The battlefront, stretching over two hundred kilometers in both directions, allowed the efficiency of the killings to be maximized in just one night.

However, the subsequent regrouping slowed down.

After confirming that there were no further threats within 200 kilometers, Su Mo did not participate in the hasty cleanup of the battlefield.

His biological clock had been somewhat disrupted by days spent sleeping during the day and working at night.

The mental confusion caused by this disorder is not a big deal for survivors in the wasteland.

But when it comes to a decision-maker like Su Mo, even the slightest mistake can lead to disaster! Back in the Captain's Cabin, lying on the soft little bed, he drank a large glass of Psionic Water to help him sleep.

After realizing that there were still eight hours left before the system update, Su Mo fell into a deep sleep, feeling at ease.

At this time, the other survivors did not come up to disturb them.

Under the command of Lu Yongyi and a group of managers, the teams scattered across the sea began to gather and assemble in an orderly manner.

They arrived at the sea where the Hope was anchored, carrying with them the joy of a bountiful harvest, tons of supplies from other races, and hundreds of treasure chests.

With a speed of over twenty knots, even if a few alien groups were to collide with it, they would only end up running away in disarray.

Human power has risen to an unprecedented level in this sea area.

As for the instigator, Su Mo didn't wake up from his small bed until 2:30 pm.

A glint of light shot from his eyes; six hours of rest was more than enough for someone with his extraordinary physique.

Instead of rushing to get up and explore below, Su Mo lay on the bed and silently brought up the Game Panel.

Unlike before, the Game Panel now prominently displays a timer at the very beginning, indicating the expected start time of the update and providing an update preview.

Clicking into the trailer will show you hints about the game.

After noon tomorrow, all functions on the panel except for the Storage Space will go offline and become unusable.

Whether it's the Trading Market, the chat channel, or even manufacturing, everything will be shut down for maintenance.

These features won't be available until fourteen days later when the game returns with a brand new, Real Survival Version! "It's a pity, because right now, survivors have almost completely removed their supplies from the market, preparing to take them to the deep sea to rebuild their homes."

"It seems there are no good opportunities for another acquisition now."

"But that's alright. Hope Village has already made several rounds of rapid purchases in the past few days, so at least the supplies should last until production resumes."

After quickly flipping to the section on the soon-to-be-closed market and carefully examining it, Su Mo came to this conclusion.

The market closure was a heavy blow to most people.

Fortunately, the continuation of the Trading Realm at least offers a glimmer of hope for the exchange of goods and services.

In the current market, most things are already priced but not available. Apart from essential needs, forcibly trying to profit from them is simply not worth the effort.

Shaking his head and closing the market panel, Su Mo quickly switched the interface to his friend's private messages.

Snap! Two messages popped up one after the other! After a quick glance, Su Mo couldn't help but show a hint of excitement on his face.

The first message was sent by Chen Shen at 9:30 in the morning, and its general meaning was not complicated.

First, the acquisition operation lasted for nearly a week, and the entire village was filled with basic materials for building the base, as well as some daily tools.

From screwdrivers and batteries to building materials and modern appliances.

From large generators and Scattering Antenna to hundreds of high-definition cameras.

Items of all sizes have filled the warehouses of Iron Stone Mountain, so much so that they have taken up space where many people live.

In addition, Hope Village has received approximately one hundred more refugees over the past four or five days.

Among these people, there were no highly skilled personnel like those in the Tundra Fleet.

But there were a full fifteen retired soldiers! Thanks to Pei Shao and Qi Qin's persuasion, these people all stayed and temporarily camped near Iron Stone Mountain.

"Indeed, every retired soldier is a valuable asset in terms of combat effectiveness."

"Most importantly, with their training, these thousand people can be quickly trained into warriors who can adapt to the pace of the apocalypse!"

Nodding in approval of Chen Shen's actions, Su Mo replied with a few words of satisfaction before turning his attention back to Lu Yongyi's conversation.

As of 1:30 p. m., only 140,000 people had gathered in the area where the Hope was anchored, with more than 30,000 others en route.

However, the data on the supplies received was compiled and recorded ahead of time.

Compared to last time, the number of chests has decreased again, as Su Mo predicted, but it's still considerable! "Gold Treasure Chest: 42"

Silver Treasure Chest: 424

Bronze Treasure Chest: 2081

"Black Iron Treasure Chest: 2209"

"Rotten Wood Treasure Chest: 2480"

There were no rare treasure chests produced, and the number of Gold Treasure Chest was nearly half that of the last time. As for Silver Treasure Chest, there was a major collapse, with a decrease of two hundred.

Fortunately, the drop rates for bronze and iron chests in the basic treasure chests remain unchanged, and are even slightly higher than last time.

The other materials yielded a much greater harvest this time.

The devastating explosion of the cannonballs caused most of the alien races to be affected only by the shockwave, their internal organs rotting into a mess.

Their shells did not show any direct or obvious damage, and their integrity was much better than last time.

With a little use, these shells can become excellent weapons and armor, providing considerable convenience for humans in the deep sea.

Unfortunately, this thing is too bulky, and the Hope wouldn't be very profitable to carry it.

Considering the already substantial harvest, Su Mo generously decided to leave only about one-twentieth of the chests to be loaded onto a ship and taken to the New Continent for research.

As for chests, all the Gold Treasure Chest were naturally accepted without question.

This time, Su Mo chose to leave behind two hundred of the Silver Treasure Chest and took 224 with him.

In return, they reaped a huge harvest of Bronze Treasure Chest and Black Iron Treasure Chest, a total of two thousand! In terms of contribution, Su Mo had every reason to take more than three-fifths, or even four-fifths, of the treasure chests, which would be reasonable for the survivors.

However, considering the balance that the game has always strived for, Su Mo abandoned this dangerous idea and chose to Equal Love For All.

Getting up, washing up, and putting on Combat Suit —the whole process was completed in one go.

Upon receiving news that all of Lu Yongyi's gold chests had arrived, Su Mo stepped forward and pushed open the door to the Captain's Cabin's cabin!

Nearly seven hours have passed since the morning's battle, and the sea area can be seen to be slowly returning to its normal color.

A gentle breeze was blowing, and the sea surface rippled slightly.

Most of the returning survivors, like worker bees that have worked all day, lazily lay on the raft to rest and recover their strength.

I found a good spot without disturbing anyone else.

Su Mo quickly rowed his small boat to the Tundra and, using his position as the captain of the fleet, announced the decision on who would own the treasure chest.

Lu Yongyi was both surprised and delighted by Su Mo's generous decision and immediately wanted to invite him for a good drink and a good meal.

"Alright, Director Lu, go and rest. It looks like we're too busy to enjoy this wine!"

While laughing it off, Su Mo quickly gathered up the Gold Treasure Chest that the crew members had brought from the ground!

He was already filled with anticipation for the magic carpet, a prop that only existed in imagination and movies.

Even the best wine isn't even one percent of what we're looking for!

Seeing Su Mo's anxious appearance, Lu Yongyi didn't dare to linger and immediately smiled as he helped Su Mo off the ship again.

In just five minutes, a whopping 42 Gold Treasure Chest appeared in the Storage Space! Combined with the 21 chests left over from before, and six more 10-pulls, the last piece of the Magic Carpet was practically guaranteed.

"Tell everyone not to bother me unless it's absolutely necessary; I need to conduct an experiment."

Leaving the raft behind him, Su Mo shouted at Zhang Long, who was standing at the door, and hurried up to the Captain's Cabin, almost running.

The next second, he closed the door to the Captain's Cabin's cabin and swept away all the clutter on the table.

As Su Mo's mind stirred slightly, all the treasure chests began to appear one by one.

The magic carpet, which had already been collected in parts 1, 2, 3, and 5, also appeared on the ground to the side.

"Game, considering how good our relationship is, give me some loot!"

"The magic carpet, the kids are practically crying with envy!"

Whether it's useful or not, after silently offering a couple of words of remembrance, Su Mo waved his hand and began taking the treasure chests for his first ten-pull.

Tsk. Just like I felt before, this first ten-pull was indeed without any suspense. The moment it was opened, the Golden Light seemed to have been deflated and returned to calm.

Even the second ten-pull couldn't escape this fate, ending up with the exact same result.

Su Mo was prepared for this outcome, so he was not alarmed.

Picking up the third batch of ten-pull treasure chests, I rubbed the latches on all the chests to open them, and gently pushed them open, but still nothing!

At this point, three of the six consecutive draws had been used! With only three chances left, a fine layer of sweat had seeped from Su Mo's forehead, indicating that his heart was not at peace.

For some, this gambler-like feeling is the ultimate enjoyment.

But for a cautious person like Su Mo, although it was exciting, he also had an instinctive resistance to it!

"This is the fourth time! Have some decency, have some decency, pay up!"

Silently chanting Old Ma's name, Su Mo reached out and fiercely opened the treasure chest in front of him, but the result was still touching.

This time, the Golden Light dissipated even faster than the first time, indicating that the quality of the items inside was not high.

If this trend of luck continues, the fifth or even the sixth attempt may not yield a result.

"Whatever, I've already done a ten-pull, might as well do a twenty-three-pull this time."

"If you're going to die, die cleanly and decisively!"

Despite his harsh words, Su Mo didn't slow down. He sat down on the ground and unlocked all the treasure chests one by one. He then took out two wooden sticks and placed them at the joints of the two rows of treasure chests.

With just a gentle push, all twenty-three treasure chests can be opened simultaneously in an instant.

Such a crazy and extravagant act, while perhaps unprecedented, was something these survivors couldn't even dream of! "Open for me!"

With a strong push of his upper arm, the weight of more than twenty treasure chests was not considered heavy, given his current superhuman physical abilities.

But after only a third of the lids were opened, an endless smile spread across Su Mo's face! The next second, with Su Mo exerting force again, all the treasure chest lids flipped over instantly.

Whoosh! A pillar several times larger than the previous Golden Light pillar suddenly appeared before Su Mo's eyes!
