My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!

Chapter 343: Foreign Race Live Broadcast! Unprecedented!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“In the environmental data feedback display, the current sea level on the port side is 2.28 meters high, and the current sea level on the starboard side is 2.19 meters high. Hope One remains in excellent condition.”

“The engine has started the auto-pumping function mode. The current level of supply is normal and there are no problems.”

“The sea entry procedure has entered autopilot mode. Respected Captain Su Mo, you may move freely now!”

Seeing the three familiar prompts from the OS, and the safety belt that had been securing him down tightly being automatically released, Su Mo let out a long exhale of breath, but did not immediately stand up.

Seeing the two red dots on his private message interface, Su Mo tentatively tapped into it.

He did not have to worry about Hope Village first. With such a “terrifying” disaster resistance structure, their probability of surviving the disaster was not lower than 99%.

However, with the Tundra Shelter ten thousand miles away, Su Mo had no control over their preparations!

“They have to be safe! They have to be safe!”

Muttering this repeatedly, as Su Mo tapped on the messages anxiously, the interface responded.

The first message was from Chen Shen. It was just an “ok” sign; very simply and effectively sending an update on Hope Village’s current situation.

The second message was news from Shen Ke’s side, and it also indicated a trace of joy in its simplicity!

With just a glance, Su Mo jumped up from the chair with emotion!

[Shen Ke: All the people are safe. The ship is still in perfect condition, and we have successfully entered the sea!]

Also, as the Tundra Shelter was located in an area that would be submerged under the deep sea, the rate at which the water rose would be much faster than that of the basin area. Despite this, coupled with the fact that Tundra One did not have a low draft, it had still successfully entered the sea ahead of schedule. It broke through the shackles of its limitations!

The two places he cared about had survived this disaster without facing any problems.

Seeing the one big and four little ones similarly moving behind him, when he switched over to the ship’s properties panel and saw that Hope One still had 98% durability remaining, Su Mo clenched his fists and swung it violently through the air twice.

Surviving the disaster without damage?

Making a perfect sea entry?

(Lean back!)

These two achievements would put a perfect full stop to all the blood, sweat and tears he had shed previously.

All the suffering and all the exhaustion had resulted in…

Peace of mind!

Still, when he actually thought about it, Hope One had not actually successfully entered the water yet. After responding to the messages and once again confirming that there were no problems, Su Mo continued patiently sitting in his seat and waiting for the OS to complete the automated sea entry operation.

On the other side in Iron Rock Mountain, all the villagers crawled out of the cave excitedly. They used shovels to clean up the remaining water that had not been drained as they passed around the only two binoculars that Hope Village possessed among themselves.

In this first wave of the ocean disaster, everyone—including Hope One—had successfully survived it!

As for whether Hope One could successfully enter the water, although everyone was full of confidence, none of them wanted to miss seeing this scene that could only be witnessed once in a lifetime!

“Hey, hey, stop squishing me! Stop squishing me—you’re motherf*cking going to push me off!”

“Quick, quick, give me the binoculars! Let me see what stage it’s at now.”

“The water level rose too quickly! F*ck me, if this was on Earth, and three meters of water rose in less than half an hour, who could hold on!”

“It’s lucky that we have the leader, or we’d now be rowing rafts to the New World!”

“Hey, hey, it’s gone, it’s gone! The scaffolding has been released! Hope One is starting to enter the water!”

The familiar 3.28-meter track started moving, making Hope One lean back slightly.

The 3.69-meter scaffolding that fixed Hope One in place had been detached by the OS using small explosions, destroying the key points of contact and freeing Hope One from its shackles.

Everyone could see the entire ship starting to slide backward. Finally, with the fenders holding it back, Hope One temporarily stopped.

At this time, Hope One was already tilted up high at at least a 25-degree angle.

The flag hanging at the bow of Hope One also started dancing in the wind. It glowed with a golden-red light and was very eye-catching amidst the dark night.

Because of the environment, there were many people sharing ship knowledge and information in the World Channel. Under this influence, none of the villagers were shocked by the ship’s current position.

However, most of the people who did not have a great mental fortitude all silently held their breaths.

“The water level… the water level is still rising. I can see that Hope One is starting to sway—there’s buoyancy.”

“Quick, give me the binoculars quickly! Let me see. Let me explain!”

“You guys should stop fighting over it. Take turns and don’t hog the binoculars!”

Hearing the noises echoing in their ears, and watching each of Hope One’s movements under the spotlight, every time the Hope One swayed a little more, each villager’s heart would tighten and tense up.

Su Mo, who was sitting inside the Hope One, was also staring firmly at the data being transmitted in real-time on the screen, quickly calculating whether or not he had to intervene.

Of course, this was not because the entry this time was having issues.

It was because, after the details were adjusted, the launching operation of Hope One was going so smoothly that it was almost unbelievable.

Because the surrounding terrain had been excavated and modified, Hope One’s current sea level at the port and starboard sides were also basically the same, and the ship position was also picture perfect.

He only had to wait for the water level to rise for another 20 seconds to reach the 4.18-meter mark, and then the fenders could be released!

When the time came, “Hope One”, which was like a giant sea monster, would release its own power and free itself of all its shackles in one go!

[Sea level on port side is 4.11 meters, sea level on starboard side is 4.09 meters]

[Slideway setup has been completed, and the data has been matched successfully. Fender is being opened. . .]

[Hope One’s sea entry angle and speed have been corrected. Hope One is entering the sea. Please do not activate any operations.]

…

The perfect sea entry angle, the perfect ship position, and the OS’s supreme stability of operation!

Blessed by these three forms of insurance, as the first clunk noise sounded, three words arose in Su Mo’s heart…

It was stable!

The launch this time was even more stable than the third test in the simulation world. Before the one big and four little ones behind him could react, Hope One shot backward abruptly.

Then, with the stern heavy and the bow light, influencing the buoyancy, the bow was suddenly like a guillotine, smashing violently onto the surface of the ocean and causing water to splash up several meters high.

Su Mo had waited too long for this.

When it actually happened in the wasteland world, even Su Mo felt tears welling up in his eyes!

“It succeeded?”

Seeing Connie behind him look so moved that she seemed out-of-character, Su Mo nodded heavily.

“It succeeded!”

These words were not just said to Connie or the four little ones. It was very much like saying it to himself, this land, and his past efforts.

Moore stood up and danced a funny belly dance, hooting loudly.

Oreo paced around emotionally, going around with Big Spark and Little Spark.

Su Mo no longer hesitated. He reached the watertight door in two steps, turned the switch on the mechanism, and let the outside air flow in.

Mm…

So fragrant!

The breeze was mixed with the salt from the sea. Finally, there was a scent, letting him feel that this was all not a fantasy!

This was not the talisman simulation world that he would exit within a few hours. This timeline would continue moving forward with the general trend.

Seeing Iron Rock Mountain’s spotlight flashing over here, Su Mo laughed. He did not ask the OS to flash back but quietly issued a few orders to the OS.

The next second, the engine at the bottom of the ship started supplying power to the huge blades under the ship.

A wave of ripples began to break out at the bottom of the ship, ramping up the speed of Hope One up immediately.

Moreover, Hope One’s bow started turning in a direction, which was shockingly…

Iron Rock Mountain!

The villagers on the mountain also noticed that Hope One was moving on the ocean now. They cheered as they ran down the mountain.

They knew that Hope One was coming!

They also knew that after this goodbye, if they wanted to see Su Mo again, it would maybe be tens or hundreds of days in the future!

Two kilometers was not considered far. Even if Hope One’s speed was not increased, in the blink of an eye, it was already near the stone mountain.

Because he was afraid he would hit it, Su Mo did not dare to go too close. He kept a safe distance of 60 meters on each side.

However, under the spotlight, Su Mo could also see all the villagers’ excited expressions as they stood on the mountain.

“Hi. All of you… go back! Don’t worry, after a while, I’ll… return… and pick you all up!”

“We’re… not worried!”

It looked silly to be yelling at each other when there were loudspeakers available but, at this moment, it made his heart swell excitedly.

Especially when he saw Chen Shen flailing the large flag that had “Hope” printed on the front and “Su” printed on the back. Su Mo laughed and went over to the Hope One’s golden-red flag at the bow.

“Everyone, take care! Wait for me to return!”

“Leader, take care! We’ll be waiting for you!”

The ceremonial shouting ended. Watching all the villagers wave goodbye together, as he stood on the ship, Su Mo gave them a standard military salute and stepped back into the bridge.

Su Mo had seen many farewells, but now that he was really about to leave, it was not only Su Mo who felt no sadness. Even the villagers expressed their inner happiness!

Everybody knew…

That this was just a temporary farewell!

This confidence was not unfounded. The source of this confidence was the powerful…

Hope One!

“OS, travel at full speed toward the first navigation coordinates. Set the fire-control radar’s scanning range to the 50km maximum. Avoid all the creatures that may be encountered along the way and strive to ensure the ship’s concealment!”

The first navigation point was around 250 kilometers away from the first unit of the foreign races’ army, which was at least 14,000-strong.

However, it was also only about 100 kilometers away from a mixed group of some 5500 troops!

As for why he chose this point, it was not because Su Mo was afraid that he could not defeat an army of more than 10 thousand foreign races, but rather because Su Mo was…

Greedy!

“If I want to devour all of the foreign races in this wave, if I start by showing off the main cannons now, I’m afraid that once I finish fighting these 10 thousand foreign races, the random soldiers and insect clans will have run away to god knows where. Even if I want to use the old phone device to continue to investigate and pursue them, the time and energy it would require will not be cost-effective.”

“Thus, for the first wave, what I must do is, naturally…”

“Act weak…”

Seeing the gathering points on the paper that he had deduced from the speed of the foreign races’ movements as well as the information on the plan to sweep them all up in one go, as someone who was experienced in “pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger”, Su Mo laughed, not conscious at all of his status as the strongest human in the wasteland.

Reputation? Style? What was the use of such things?

Was it more useful than the treasure chests he could obtain from slaughtering 5000 foreign races?

Foreign races would not kneel on the ground and bow down to you just because of your style!

If one wanted to make them feel fear and pain, one could not let a single one of these 23400 foreign races go!

Seeing that the OS had successfully assumed control using the autopilot and sensing that there were no problems with the ship, Su Mo returned to the captain’s quarters on the third floor.

Like last time, the game panel did not prompt him to start a live broadcast session this time.

This also meant that this ocean disaster’s top ten selection rules had, like the blizzard disaster last time, changed somewhat.

At the very least, when evaluating the top ten, the strength of the ship should be one aspect, but there were perhaps even more factors.

He took out a bottle of coke from the refrigerator in the captain’s quarters and sat on the couch. Seeing the scenery passing by outside the porthole, Su Mo comfortably opened up the game panel.

Being unable to get into the ranks at the beginning was not a big problem.

This time’s ocean disaster would continue for tens of days. Given that he had such a powerful ship like Hope One, if he wanted to obtain the airdrop reward, it would be a piece of cake.

Speaking of live broadcasts, what attracted Su Mo more was…

The foreign races’ live broadcasts!

Yes, with the help of Connie as a “guide”, Su Mo found out two days ago that the foreign races could also initiate live broadcasts during disasters.

Su Mo naturally did not want to let go of this good opportunity to observe his enemies’ strengths.

With a thought, the jade-green human color disappeared from the panel, and the golden foreign race color lit up in its place.

However, before Su Mo could react and enter the Disaster Resistance channel, a sudden prompt appeared.

[Record: Congratulations to the player “Golden Lion King—Connie”. It has been detected that the comfort properties of your ship are currently ranked first among the foreign races. Will you disclose the ranking data and open a disaster resistance live broadcast stream simultaneously?]

[Record: Congratulations to the player “Golden Lion King—Connie”. It has been detected that the firepower properties of your ship are currently ranked first among the foreign races. Will you disclose the ranking data and open a disaster resistance live broadcast stream simultaneously?]

[Record: …]

…

[Record: Please note that initiating the live broadcast will not broadcast the interior of the ship. It will broadcast the ship’s surroundings, only allowing other players to observe the surrounding five kilometers of the ocean!]

[Record: If you maintain the number one spot for more than one day, and then successfully survive the disaster, you can obtain the upgrade experience package*2.]

[Record: Will you start the live broadcast?]
