Chapter 171: The Blessing Of Ice And Snow, Level Up Complete

“The snow is still accumulating. After this, I’m afraid the next disaster will most likely be a flood!”

There was no shortage of visionary experts among humankind here and, at the same time, many people had found fragments depicting the future in the ruins.

The last blizzard disaster recorded in Magoo’s diary, which lasted only 48 hours, caused a flood disaster capable of destroying humankind.

One could only imagine the aftermath of the 72 hours of horrible snowfall this time around!

“Flood… With the basin surrounding my shelter, I have to quickly transform the terrain, otherwise it will turn into a big lake when that happens!”

At this moment, Su Mo once again felt the limitations of the surrounding terrain.

In the early stages when he had no access to mechanical equipment, it was very difficult to significantly alter the terrain of such a large basin just by relying on manual labor.

Honestly, even with the help of the excavator, Su Mo had no confidence in transforming the surroundings into highlands before the next disaster occured.

Therefore…

“Either I migrate temporarily and wait for the flood to pass, or I start building dams!”

Picking up a pen, Su Mo drew a large circle on the area surrounding the shelter on the topographic map.

This circle covered a diameter of four kilometers around the Underground Shelter, and the workload involved and construction cost of the dam, according to this outline, would no doubt be an extremely terrifying amount.

Even if he worked all day at it, and solely focused on the construction of the dam, it would take at least 20 days to complete.

Only when the dam had been built to a sufficient height would it be possible for it to withstand the terrible flood disaster.

“It’s difficult for me to give up on the Underground Shelter and build a separate shelter like everyone else, so this idea has to be abandoned!”

“If I temporarily migrate, although I will survive, before the flood subsides, my growth and development rate will be ground to a halt and I won’t be able to do anything for dozens of days.”

“To directly resist the disaster…”

Sitting at the table, Su Mo’s gaze was faint. He began to consider the pros and cons of several strategies.

After the flood, low altitude terrains such as basins would form the embryonic form of seas and oceans, flooding with water and transforming into deep bodies of water.

Therefore, the migration of all humankind would be triggered by this disaster.

Everyone would need to move to high ground, or even build boats to become nomads and drifters to survive.

“I have to confirm whether the surrounding terrain is above sea level otherwise, even if I have a dam, I won’t be able to resist the disaster!”

Storing away the design drawings and putting on the cotton-padded jacket and trousers again, Su Mo walked over to the front door of the first floor to check on Oreo’s awakening progress.

Her breathing was steady and her body was soft, and her temperature did not fluctuate between extreme heat and extreme cold.

Other than the fact that she would not wake up, even after Su Mo tried shaking her awake, Oreo’s condition was identical to that of sleeping.

After repeatedly confirming that there were no problems, Su Mo returned to the third floor with peace of mind and, along the way, set the temperature to 18 degrees; a temperature suitable for sleeping.

With the air conditioner on, in addition to other miscellaneous electrical equipment, the battery capacity alone would not be enough, so the generator would have to be kept running.

Fortunately, a large 300-kilowatt generator set could maintain stable power output under stable conditions.

After checking to confirm that there were no problems with the circuit, Su Mo sat on the small bed and his anxious heart finally calmed down a bit.

The more he knew, the more he feared the future.

This worry was made even worse since he knew that the next disaster would only be a matter of time.

“I must hasten my preparations. If there are no surprises, my younger sister will arrive during the next arrival phase. If I only rely on probability and chance, the risks are too great.”

The people arriving this time would be between 17-51 years old, and his younger sister was 16 years old. According to the current casualty rate, there was a high chance that the next batch of humans would arrive to replace the lost lives.

Su Mo took out the previously acquired rare-quality mini destroyer blueprint and, after repeated inspections, Su Mo reluctantly stored it away.

When the flood came, he had to have a boat if he wanted to travel and explore.

However, the design of the destroyer was too complex. Although the points Su Mo currently possessed were enough, before the shelter was upgraded to level 4, the design could not be used. There was nothing he could do about this except remain anxious.

“I have to think of something, I must find a way to resolve the next disaster as soon as possible!”

Planning for the future, Su Mo laid on the bed and fell asleep after drinking a large glass of psychic energy water to help with his sleep.

Under the cover of the wind and snow, no trace of creature or human activity could be found; the wasteland remained silent except for the howling wind and snow.

Even when it came to the bear people with strong physiques, who were normally unafraid of the severe cold, they could only shrink and hide in their territory under such extreme weather conditions.

Time was passing minute by minute…

The strong wind in the night became more and more terrifying. As midnight approached, the wind reached its peak speed, and it was not until 3 am that it began to subside.

Under the storm, all of humankind suffered.

Millions of people were once again frozen to death in the middle of the night. Faced with such a devastating natural disaster, even Su Mo had no way to change the outcome.

It seemed that enough people had died, or it was time for the let-in.

At ten past three, water-like air bubbles suddenly appeared above the clouds.

Not only were some animals wrapped within the air bubbles, but also strange-shaped foreign races and humans.

Within the bubbles, the eyes of all these creatures were closed shut, as if they had entered a deep sleep, and even the storm hardly affected these bubbles.

As they descended closer and closer to the ground, the bubbles’ film-like surface transformed, and a 30-minute countdown timer appeared.

Thirty minutes passed in a flash and, when the time came, these creatures gradually woke up and began to look at the surrounding terrain in horror.

Compared with these creatures, the human beings who had been transported here previously were luckier, as they had at least 20 days to develop!

These new arrivals were thrown into this “hellish” situation to survive!

“Su Chan, grab my hand. Don’t give up!”

Ding ding ding ding~

Bewildered, Su Mo was awakened from his nightmare by the slightly harsh sound of the old phone’s alarm. There was cold sweat dripping all over his body.

“Hoo, hoo…”

Su Mo took deep breaths as he sat up on the bedside and looked at the wet sheets with lingering fear. He reached out for the cup of psychic energy water on the bedside and gulped it down. His mood began to calm down.

While he slept, for some unknown reason, Su Mo suddenly dreamt that his sister had suddenly arrived during the flood disaster. When he steered the boat over to find her sister, he watched as the whirlpool swept her away.

This feeling of losing a loved one was an uncomfortable experience. Even after sitting still for a long time, waves of palpitations continued to echo through his heart.

“Strange, this feeling is inexplicable. Could this be a premonition?”

After opening the game panel and checking for prompts, Su Mo took out the pointer and searched again for the location of his family.

After three failed searches, he wiped the sweat from his brow and put on his clothes. Su Mo turned over and got out of bed.

With the air-conditioning heating function active, the temperature in the shelter was maintained between 16-18 degrees; a very comfortable temperature after he had put on clothes.

On the ranking, besides Su Mo’s 17-degree temperature reading, the temperature reading of the second ranked shelter had returned to 12 degrees, but the difference in points between the two made it impossible for the second ranked shelter to even imagine catching up.

Putting on his combat uniform, he opened the heavy stone door and walked up the passageway to the first floor.

“Huh, Oreo, you’re awake?!”

Lying in the nest, Oreo was weak but, after seeing Su Mo, she still managed to open her eyes.

“Woof…”

The deep cry was accompanied by Oreo’s movement. When he got closer, Su Mo was surprised to find that Oreo was already covered with blood.

Even part of her fur had been dyed blood red, and the strong smell of blood rushed into his nostrils.

Without hesitating, Su Mo quickly took out all the psychic energy water in the storage space as well as the pancakes. He first fed Oreo with psychic energy water and then began to crumble the soft pancake to feed her.

“Thank goodness! It’s because of the cracked skin and not because of an injury.”

While feeding her, he stroked the site of the bleeding on Oreo’s body and realized that it was only because the skin had been squeezed and cracked. Su Mo felt relieved.

Focusing mentally, Su Mo summoned Oreo’s attribute panel, which automatically popped up and appeared in front of Su Mo.

[Pet Name: Oreo]

[Status: Growth period (personality has been fixed)]

[Creature Description: Gentle wasteland creature. As a variant Husky that inherited a variety of bloodlines, it will become stronger and stronger as it grows.]

[Ability 1: High-speed movement. Its muscle structure guarantees a certain explosive power. After the ability is stimulated, its speed doubles within 30 seconds, with a cooldown time of 5 minutes.]

[Ability 2: Sixth sense. Its biological structure gives it an acute sense of perception. After stimulating the ability, it can briefly predict incoming danger, with a cooldown time of 1 day.]

[Ability 3: The blessing of ice and snow (attributes unknown)]

[Current Status: Successfully awakened the Ice and Snow Bloodline (Bloodline Awakening Progress: 9%)]

“The awakening was successful!”

Looking at the data displayed on the panel, Su Mo stroked Oreo’s head with great surprise, feeling extremely happy.

Although he did not know what Oreo’s third ability was, as long as she survived safely, Su Mo would be satisfied!

Licking the droplets of psychic energy water, Oreo’s state was visibly restored. After drinking a bottle of it, she could even get up and bite the pancake herself.

“Okay, eat more. There’s more of it if it’s not enough!”

Seeing Oreo regain her appetite, Su Mo smiled even more and began to slowly turn the winch and open the garage gate.

After the heavy blizzard overnight, the snow accumulated on the ground was even more terrifying than before. This time, it was piled up in front of the garage gate like a high wall.

The thickness of the snow was at least one cubic meter and, because the ice and snow had melted a few days ago, there was a solid layer of ice below. The snow on the top was hard, almost like rock.

Su Mo took out the iron pickaxe, which triggered a critical hit after a single strike, causing the snow to break apart and crumble into the basement.

Su Mo, who could not evade it, was directly buried underneath the pile of snow. Fortunately, there was the lion clan’s wind ability at hand, and he managed to finally crawl out after much effort.

After summoning the wind to blow out all the snow, Su Mo came to the high slope again and cleared the snow over the ventilation duct.

“In the next two days, the accumulated snow will probably exceed two meters. It may even reach three meters. If that were to occur, I’m afraid a sea would directly form once all the snow melts!”
