The endless yellow sand, led by the raging wasteland winds, declared war on every creature walking on the wasteland.

Turning his head, Su Mo stood on the high ground, his gaze drifting to the chaotic lionman camp.

The sudden explosion at the core shelter of the base threw the previously orderly Lionman camp into chaos!

A pound of Picric Acid Explosive Pack isn't very powerful and wouldn't be enough to level a shelter.

But for Picric Acid, the explosion is secondary; the subsequent violent combustion and the toxic fumes released during combustion are the real deadly weapons.

"My fellow countrymen, one day I Su Mo, will avenge you! I will not let a single one of these lion-men escape!"

Looking at the panicked lion-men standing in front of the lion-man's sanctuary and the humans lying dead on the giant tree, Su Mo's agitation finally subsided.

The Picric Acid bomb made from saltpeter purified with Psionic Water is obviously exceptionally powerful.

A few reckless lion-men rushed into the fire, trying to salvage the "Lion God Statue" that had just been placed inside.

But after inhaling a large mouthful of yellow gas...

Thud! It fell to the ground cleanly, lying straight down like a scallion.

Even Su Mo, who was observing through a telescope, couldn't help but laugh at this scene.

"Trust is impossible in battles within one's own race, let alone cooperating with people from other races whose languages one cannot understand! Unless one day my strength is sufficient to completely subdue them..."

"Otherwise, to maintain the balance, the Lion Man Tribe cannot be dealt with so quickly. I still need them to help me restrain the Kobolds until we have produced hundreds or even thousands of kilograms of Picric Acid Explosive Pack."

Ignoring the chaos that followed, Su Mo composed himself and took a long detour towards Bouncy's direction.

This trip has already yielded a substantial profit.

They had enough resources to survive before the Snow Disaster struck! "It's a pity that one can't spend their whole life in a cave..."

Looking at the "lively" lionman camp, Su Mo had new expectations for the future.

To create truly integrated above-ground and underground shelters, and genuine safe houses during natural disasters, more resources will be needed.

"That's too little. We can't even accumulate enough resources in the early stages, so it will probably be even more difficult in the mid-to-late game!"

Until the food cycle can be resolved, these monster leeks cannot be harvested all at once, otherwise they will be plunged into a predicament of having no resources.

As for... they breached the kobolds' Saltpeter Camp, preventing Maeda Kento from developing properly.

They adjusted the balance between the kobolds and the lion-men, and incidentally acquired the most important lion-man statue in the lion-man's sanctuary.

Their hard power has increased significantly! "I, Su Mo, have always been Equal Love For All. Since the lion-man camp has suffered heavy losses, the kobolds are no exception!"

With that in mind, after Oreo was seated, Su Mo deliberately took a detour, following an arc towards the kobold camp.

"In a hurry and in a panic"

Why is life always like this?

"Could it be that this is my ideal?"

"That's how I spend my life."

Humming a cheerful tune, Su Mo, the yellow earthen creature on the road, also found it amusing. Thinking about the Sterndrive and the lion-man statue in the space, and seeing the Mutated Creature that were occasionally frightened away by the Bouncy creatures, Su Mo was too lazy to go down and chase after them.

"Kobolds, lion-men, my treasure!"

While driving with one hand, Su Mo leisurely took out his old-fashioned mobile phone and began to adjust his destination.

Among the kobolds and humans, after some thought, Su Mo set up a human.

Sure enough, at the western end, a relatively large red dot appeared immediately, clearly a sign of a human Gathering Place.

On the map, there are also several smaller red dots, scattered sparsely, also distributed across the map.

"Holy crap, so phone battery life increases as people become more dispersed?"

Seeing that the battery level in the upper right corner was still 64%, it dropped to 42% in the blink of an eye. Startled, Su Mo quickly switched off the signal searching for humans and set it to the kobold.

On the map, to the north, a huge, blood-red dot lies across the map; without a doubt, it's the kobold's castle.

The area outside the castle was quite clean, with only a few scattered dots scattered around.

"They were probably wiped out by the lion-men?"

Su Mo glanced in the direction of the kobold Saltpeter Mine camp, but it wasn't shown on the map.

Switching to the Lionman signal, a long, ribbon-like strip appears on the map.

The long line was extremely spread out. At the very front of the line, you could see about a dozen small dots moving very fast, heading in the direction of the Lionman camp.

*Snap! Old Phone ran out of battery and shut down automatically! "Sigh, these shared power bank companies really should expand their market in the wasteland. I never thought they'd experience phone battery anxiety here too!"

Frustrated, Su Mo put his phone back in the Storage Space and, facing the direction of the Kobold Castle, stepped on the gas.

The Oreo hanging on his back sensed the increased speed and couldn't help but howl, its face beaming with excitement.

This is a Erha that loves riding in cars! Similarly, after Su Mo stopped the car, Oreo looked reluctant to leave, his expression clearly urging Su Mo to go for another lap.

"Alright, alright, time to get back to work. I'll take you for a couple more rides on the way home!"

After patting Oreo's soft head, unbuckling the seatbelt, and letting Oreo out, Su Mo drove the Dune Buggy into the bushes.

The Kobold Castle was now in sight.

Despite the loss of the Saltpeter Camp, the Kobold Castle seemed oblivious to the news and remained peaceful and quiet.

The kobolds on the four watchtowers, dressed in heavy animal skin robes, lazily basked in the sun.

If Su Mo hadn't witnessed the Saltpeter Camp being reduced to ruins by his own Picric Acid bombs, he might have even thought that the kobolds on both sides weren't the same race.

After a while, when Su Mo was lying on the high ground, almost annoyed, there was finally some movement in the castle.

A small group of about a dozen humans stealthily made their way around the potholes toward the castle, shouting as they ran.

On the stretcher they carried was a Warlock Kobold looked as dead as could be.

The kobolds on the watchtower spotted the human team immediately and began barking loudly.

A small door next to the heavy city gate opened, and a small group of kobolds rushed out. Upon seeing the kobolds on the stretcher, they roared in anguish.

Then, the human team was welcomed inside, and peace was restored in front of the castle.

"Maeda Kento, that old dog is really lucky to have survived. I wonder how the other humans are doing."

As Su Mo stroked the Electric Crossbow that gleamed coldly to the side, a chill ran through him.

"The power of foreign tribes is not unusable, but Maeda Kento has clearly taken the wrong path, actively choosing to become a servant in a subordinate relationship."

"If I were to follow his example and become a partner of the Lionmen, even if we were equals at the beginning, as I help the Lionmen win more and more battles and their numbers increase, the balance would eventually be broken!"

From the moment these people entered the Kobold Castle, in Su Mo's mind, these humans had already been stripped of their Earthly status.

Except for the fact that the heads on their heads are not dog heads, they are otherwise indistinguishable from dog-headed people.

"Heh heh, if you want to take back your Saltpeter Mine camp, you'll have to ask me, Su Mo, first if I agree!"

Standing up, Su Mo picked up his weapon, called out to Oreo, and quickly ran towards the place where the kobolds had left the city.

After a short while, seeing the dense and neat footprints on the ground, Su Mo stopped and began to plan his attack.

There are specific guidelines for the placement of landmines.

If the device is installed too far forward, it won't kill many people and will instead alert the enemy.

If the installation is too remote, there is a risk that the enemy will not pass by and the explosion will not be detonated.

"My dad always said something like, 'Landmines must be planted in places where no one will go, so that the enemy is forced to step on them by other things, thus creating an effective killing force.'"

While recalling the events, Su Mo devised a placement plan based on the terrain.

Su Mo had made up his mind to place this landmine, deciding to use a ten-pound Explosive Pack, and to place three at once to maximize the damage.

Having surveyed the terrain from the best vantage point, Su Mo had a plan in mind.

Mother-Child Chain Mine! The 30-pound Explosive Pack used to cause maximum damage needs to be placed in a place that kobolds would never normally walk through.

However, the location cannot be too remote; it must be such that the kobolds will definitely step on it once they scatter.

The landmines used to disrupt the formation should not cause excessive damage; they should not inflict heavy losses on the kobolds at the beginning, otherwise these idiots might very well run back the way they came.

One meter, five meters, twenty meters... until he reached a position thirty meters away from the dog-headed man's footprints, Su Mo placed a 30-pound Explosive Pack and set up a mechanical detonator.

Pulling the safety valve, Su Mo carefully and quickly left the bomb site.

Upon reaching the footprints, Su Mo walked along them for nearly a hundred meters before digging a hole in the middle of the path and placing the second Explosive Pack.

It wasn't very powerful, only about a pound! After pulling the safety valve again and hearing a loud bang, Su Mo hastily covered his footprints on the ground and quickly left.

This time, Su Mo didn't stop until he had walked two kilometers away.

After surveying the surrounding terrain, Su Mo found a high slope, climbed up it using both hands and feet, and took out his binoculars to begin his observation.

Having lost sight of the landmines, Su Mo couldn't pinpoint their location, only having a vague direction.

With his gaze fixed on the direction of the Kobold Castle and seeing the still-closed gates, Su Mo could only wait patiently, placing his hopes on luck.

"You absolutely have to come out! The lionmen are killing your people, how can you sit still?"

"The lion-man cheated on you, kobold, pull yourself together!"

"The Saltpeter Mine camp is so important! Let's take it back and restore the glory of our kobold race!"

Oreo lay lazily to the side, listening to Su Mo's mutterings, a human-like helplessness appearing on its face.

"My silly master, when will I grow up and be able to share your burdens!"

"Going for a drive is so much fun!"

"Eat tomorrow"

Before Oreo could continue his reverie, suddenly, the ground began to shake.

Before Oreo could even roll over, they heard Su Mo, who was lying next to him, say something with a slightly excited tone:

"They're here!"
