When Hometowns Meet, Tears Fill Both Eyes

Only by putting yourself in Death Land can you survive.

The most dangerous place is the safest place.

These were the two thoughts that arose in Su Mo the instant he landed on the Death Land.

Stepping on the magic carpet, he successfully reached the ground with almost no danger.

Carefully navigating the intermittent bursts of flame, Su Mo stood atop a boulder and began to gaze into the distance, scrutinizing any potential anomalies.

At this moment, the Geiger Counter on the protective suit was almost off the charts, and the sound it emitted was like a loud bang.

Calculated based on the intensity of radiation.

Either the bombardment here didn't last long enough, and the radiation hasn't completely dissipated.

Either the amount of the substance is sufficient, or the frequency is also sufficient!

After considering both options, Su Mo did not make a definitive conclusion, but his guess was very close to the second one.

Just as Lü Kuan had predicted, this place had indeed suffered a horrific nuclear bombardment.

As a result, they have not yet recovered their vitality.

"Ocean God is indeed a daring man. If I were in his shoes, I definitely wouldn't have the guts to hide."

A wealth of information.

With the scene before him and after figuring out some key points, he had a complete guess about Su Mo, the hiding place of the Ocean God.

Just like when Su Mo was a child, Su Ma would prevent Su Mo from playing games secretly.

He put the game console in his backpack, and he couldn't find it for the entire holiday until he went back to school.

If Ocean God wanted to complete a perfect "dodge".

Then he has to hide in a place that the game knows about, but that he won't go to.

After stepping off the rock, they did not immediately search for the Ocean God's hiding place.

Su Mo first took out a jar and collected soil, then quickly walked to the sea and collected seawater.

After completing the sample collection, he wiped the moisture from his breath off his protective suit and jumped into the scarlet seawater.

Unlike the seawater in the wasteland, the seawater here has an astonishing viscosity and terrifying resistance.

However, Su Mo's Giant Strength did not cause him any trouble.

Soon, they swam deeper and deeper.

As Su Mo approached the center of the ocean, a "familiar" building appeared before him.

According to the information brought back by the messenger, this is where the Ocean God once lived.

It is the place where all the sea gods hold their council.

After many years, no one has entered this place anymore, and it looks incredibly eerie against the backdrop of the scarlet seawater.

After swimming for a while longer, Su Mo took a step forward, landing on the stone steps. He steadied himself and strode inside.

Surprisingly, the seawater outside flooded in.

But once inside the building, it felt like stepping onto land, with the seawater blocking the way.

Even the Geiger Counter stopped beating here, indicating that the radiation had completely disappeared.

He took out his flashlight and used its light to examine the surrounding furnishings.

Su Mo slowly took off the helmet from his protective suit and greedily inhaled the slightly stuffy air.

The next second, Su Mo did not make any move.

Inside the main hall, a faint blue light began to appear, like a shadow, automatically clinging to Su Mo's body.

From Su Mo's shadow, then to his feet, then to his body, and finally to his head.

The blue light, like a sophisticated scanner, slowly examined Su Mo's entire body.

"What, now you want to see if I'm from the game?"

"A spy?"

Looking at the blue light, which was bobbing up and down like a child, Su Mo, who had already guessed the whole story, said irritably.

As Su Mo finished speaking...

A long, slightly joyful voice immediately rang out in the hall.

"Haha, I didn't expect to meet someone from my hometown! Don't be angry, buddy, I was just being cautious."

"What's that old saying again? Better safe than sorry. I've been hiding for so long, I can't let this old dog find me!"

This is the first time I've met a living wasteland "shareholder".

Upon hearing the man speak fluent Chinese, Su Mo was not surprised; instead, he smiled slightly.

Once he had determined that the Ocean God Kingdom had indeed been bombarded by nuclear weapons, he was already 90% certain of the outcome.

It is possible to launch a nuclear bomb here.

There are only two possibilities.

First: The game's design.

The game uses some kind of ability to teleport a nuclear bomb directly here and launch an attack.

However, Su Mo immediately rejected this idea.

The evidence is that nine-tenths of the entire wasteland was blasted into ruins. If the game has that capability, there's no reason not to stop it.

So, after ruling out this possibility, only one remains.

Ocean God blew it up himself!

"Hey buddy, come in from here, I haven't seen a living person in ages!"

After the man's slightly deep voice echoed, a huge opening suddenly appeared in the hall, revealing a passage leading downwards.

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Mo stepped inside and went down.

After a while, as they reached the end of the stairs, they turned a corner and entered a somewhat empty room.

Su Mo saw the other person.

The other party also saw Su Mo.

However, the difference is that Su Mo is a physical entity, while the other party who made the sound was a ghostly blue entity.

A phantom image!

"Hehe, nice to meet you. I am Jiang Chu, a citizen of Xia Kingdom in the Taihang Universe, number 029!"

"Hello, I am Su Mo, from China. As for the universe... I don't know which one."

A phantom cannot merge with a solid object.

But as they stepped forward, their hands remained "tightly" clasped together.

Upon hearing Su Mo's words, Jiang Chu chuckled, "Good heavens, you've become a god and you still don't know where you came from? Could you be a human who recently descended to earth?"

Su Mo: "Uh, to be precise, I've been here for three months!"

Thump! Unaware of the damage his "three months" had caused, Su Mo only reacted after seeing Jiang Chu's sudden stunned expression.

"Don't misunderstand, I am also a deity, but I was just lucky enough to inherit something left behind by an older brother, and I was forced to inherit it."

In an instant, thinking that Jiang Chu had misunderstood him, Su Mo did not hesitate and immediately switched to his Second Form.

The next second, an aura belonging only to the gods emanated from Su Mo.

Furthermore, as he actively released them, two kinds of authority auras rose from his left and right arms, radiating an eerie light! This time, however, shocked Jiang Chu quite a bit.

Instead of snapping him out of his daze, it made his expression even more exaggerated.

After a long while, when Su Mo stretched out his hand and circled it in front of his eyes, Jiang Chu finally came back to his senses from his astonishment. "Holy crap, no way, bro, you have more than 1% of the authority right now?"

Su Mo scratched his head. "Yes, I have food and light now, which adds up to 1.46%!"

"Hiss"

Su Mo gasped sharply, recognizing a familiar look in Jiang Chu's eyes.

He had seen that look in his eyes countless times in the wasteland.

Even ordinary survivors, upon witnessing his progress, revealed undisguised astonishment!

While others lived in wooden huts, Su Mo lived in a luxurious underground base.

While others sailed rafts, Su Mo sailed a steel destroyer.

Each time, Su Mo's progress exceeded everyone's expectations, bringing different kinds of shock.

But he never imagined that facing an equal deity could cause such shock!

Uncertain, Su Mo tentatively asked, "Brother Jiang, could it be that my exceeding 1% of the authority will cause some consequences, or even many?"

Jiang Chu nodded hurriedly. "Damn, that's more than that! I thought it was just a local bully, but I didn't expect you to be a dragon that has crossed the river from the south!"

"Please, have a seat. You're a rare guest!"

With a wave of his hand, Jiang Chu's gesture fell, and a creaking sound rang out. A chair slowly moved over and stopped right under Su Mo's buttocks.

At the same time, a chair appeared under Jiang Chu's illusory figure's buttocks.

After doing all that, Jiang Chu didn't stop. As he clapped his hands, cracks gradually appeared in the wall.

From this opening, countless robotic arms extend, rapidly assembling to pick up and place objects.

Finally, after the two were seated...

Before Su Mo appeared fresh fruit still glistening with water droplets, some snacks only found on Earth, and a roasted chicken still steaming hot!

Seeing Jiang Chu's intense gaze, and after the system confirmed that there was no problem, Su Mo picked up the roast chicken and took a bite.

He then grabbed a bottle of cola and gulped down half of it.

The hospitable Ocean God! The Food God forced to be entertained!

No one in the game would have imagined that this would happen in this tiny room.

The two "most wanted criminals" he was hunting were able to sit together so harmoniously.

"Su Mo, since you have come to me, it must be for my Ocean God Authority, right?"

Seeing Jiang Chu speak again and point out the key point, Su Mo put down the roast chicken and nodded slowly.

Su Mo never intended to hide this matter from beginning to end.

After he nodded, Jiang Chu raised an eyebrow, a look of interest appearing on his face.

"Tsk tsk, you're definitely much bolder than me."

"As expected of the chosen one!"

"Selected?"

Seeing Su Mo's puzzled expression, Jiang Chu did not answer, but shook his head and spoke to the void.

"Old friend, aren't you planning to come out and meet me?"

These words sound like they're being spoken to the void.

But miraculously, as Jiang Chu finished speaking, a sudden vortex rose in the void.

Within this vortex, a talisman slowly floated out! It was none other than the Heaven Stealing Secret! Even though Su Mo was not in his primary identity form and did not have access to the Storage Space, this talisman was still able to break through the restrictions and arrive here directly.

However, the talisman came quickly and disappeared just as quickly.

Just a few seconds later, a burst of green light suddenly erupted from the talisman, struck Jiang Chu's forehead, and then slowly disappeared into the void once again.

"Damn, Su Mo, you really are a ruthless person!"

"Compared to us, you certainly have the right to challenge the game!"

Upon receiving the green light, Jiang Chu's face showed even greater surprise, but he subtly glossed over the topic he had just brought up.

Clearly, this green light conveyed a lot of information.

Su Mo didn't dwell on this, but instead understood immediately and said, "Is the old man in the Heaven Stealing Secret also one of our own?"

Jiang Chu was taken aback, then burst into laughter:

"Ha, old man! Yes, he's one of us too, but he told me a lot of interesting things, which limited my ability to speak."

"Su Mo, why don't you listen to a story first!"

"He told me that you really want to know what games are!"
