My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!-Chapter 26
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In this disaster, without exception, all live broadcast rooms ranked in the top ten chose to build shelters on the ground, mainly with wooden houses.
Only the Lone Wolf Guide live broadcast room ranked ninth was made of a team of seven people.
Instead of living in the shelter provided by the survival game, they simply chose to move to the foot of a mountain.
These people worked on digging a hole day and night for five days and finally dug out a cave that could accommodate seven people on the last day.
It was sturdily built against a mountain.
“I wonder if these people have given up the shelter the game provided, or if it wasn’t released at all…”
Su Mo pondered and began to wonder how the shelter would develop.
He subconsciously placed more emphasis on the game panel-generated shelter following the cues from the game panel.
As a result, development was currently stunted in the shelters.
It was a good thing but also a bad one to some extent.
“I’m alone, while they have at least seven or eight people. Some even have a few dozens. I’m certainly not as fast as them in collecting supplies at the early stage. If I want to catch up with them, the only way to surpass them is to use technology!”
‘I didn’t expect a corporate slave like me, who grew up studying, memorizing textbooks, and had never used my brain much could plan a base like a pro one day, but my hair…’ Su Mo laughed wryly at himself.
Blindly hoarding resources and upgrading the shelter would only turn it into a solid tomb. When your upgrading speed could not keep up with the scale of the disaster, you would have to give up without a fight.
“It requires combat abilities to get the good things in the ruins and explore the wilderness. It just won’t work without better equipment and weapons.”
“The priority now is to find a way to develop electricity. I have an advantage, so I must use it.” Su Mo’s eyes darkened. “I’ll have to play it by ear.”
The rain was still falling outside. Su Mo got up and began to carefully weave a straw raincoat and a straw umbrella.
He had to go out and look around the shelter to make sure nothing happened.
After some weaving…
“Perhaps my weaving is too bad that the system doesn’t recognize it at all?”
Seeing that the system failed to show the properties of the grass raincoat, Su Mo pursed his lips and spent another 4 units of wood to build a wooden trunk.
He put the grass raincoat into it and silently hypnotized himself.
“It’s a closet. It’s a closet. It’s a closet!”
He said to himself thrice, focused, and his inner voice called to the survival system to look at the wooden trunk.
[Simple wardrobe]
Description: Wood, used to store clothes.
Stock: Straw raincoat.
Please choose the item to upgrade: 1. Closet
2. Grass raincoat
“I knew it!”
Su Mo raised his eyebrows when he saw the closet’s properties.
After creating the grass raincoat, he could not see the grass raincoat’s properties and upgrade option when he summoned the survival system.
The system did not recognize this item at all.
It was like the tables and tea sets taken from the ruins, with no upgrade options developed.
After creating the closet and putting it in, the upgrade options popped up.
“I choose 2!”
He said to himself, and the grass raincoat’s properties were already on display when he looked at it.
[Grass raincoat]
Description: A raincoat weaved from plant fibers. Provides minimal rain resistance.
First upgrade option: Change the material and its look. Has stronger comfort. Survival points required (25).
Second upgrade option: Change the material and add electric power. Has stronger impact resistance, radiation resistance, corrosion resistance… Survival points required (300).
Introduction: An old man in a lonely boat, fishing alone in the snow.
“Why these two options?”
Su Mo frowned.
If he wanted to go outside, of course he wanted better water resistance!
However, the two upgrade options that popped out did not make it clear where they enhanced.
It would be a waste to spend his survival point in this way.
As he gave it a try, Su Mo said to himself:
“System, can I replace the upgrade option with stronger water resistance?”
There was a flash of light as Su Mo finished speaking, and the two upgrade options that were presented flashed away and became a new interface.
[Grass raincoat]
Description: A raincoat weaved from plant fibers. Provides minimal rain resistance.
Upgrade option: Strong raincoat
Sections: Waterproof (10), material (10), heat insulation (10), corrosion resistance (10)…
Introduction: Strong waterproof raincoat. It can keep you fresh on rainy days
Don’t expose to the sun. Dry it in the shade.
“I can change it?”
Su Mo was surprised.
Apart from the psychic energy water well upgrade, it was the first time he had seen a separate property upgrade.
Compared to the vague comprehensive upgrade, this upgrade was slightly more expensive, but you could choose the property you want, which was more suitable in this scenario.
“It seems there are a lot more ways to use the system that I don’t know about…”
He memorized the information earlier and spent 20 survival points. Su Mo selected one by one and upgraded the water-resistance and material.
Instantly.
The grass raincoat in the closet began to change.
The grass-woven waterproof layer started becoming dense, and the material also began to change.
It gradually changed from grass to a material similar to the waterproof cloth in the civilized age.
The color had also changed from the original yellow-green to a mixture of black and white.
When the upgrade was completed, Su Mo took out the strong raincoat and began sizing it up.
“It really is a raincoat upgraded by the system. No machine can come out with this workmanship!”
You needed precision to resist water.
After putting on the raincoat, Su Mo found that the strong raincoat was a pullover. His body, hands, and feet were enveloped in it, which saved him the need to hold an umbrella.
From head to toe, the raincoat fit him perfectly like it was customized for him. There were tiny air holes in the face area that allowed him to breathe and a water-repellent layer that ensured no water molecules could sneak in.
[No mutant beast presence detected within a thousand-meter radius of the player.]
[Today’s count 2/3]
After telling Oreo to stay in the base, Su Mo opened the main door, pulled the bolt up, and walked out.
A hot damp feeling swept over his face.
Crackling raindrops hit the top of his head and slid down the material of his raincoat to the ground.
Even under the wind, a lot of raindrops spattered on his face covered by the raincoat.
Reaching out his hand, Su Mo wiped the water off his mask and looked out, gasping uncontrollably.
The area outside of the shelter seemed to have turned into a swamp.
Standing halfway up the hill, the dry earth that was about to crack had drunk enough water and became sludge.
The brown vegetation began to turn green.
“The rain here is so heavy! It’s a good thing I have a special raincoat.”
Slightly perturbed, Su Mo shook his head and examined the soil around the shelter.
The amount of rain varied from place to place. It was information he gathered from the live broadcast rooms.
The rain at the number one Zeus Shelter was probably less terrifying.
One foot was deep, and the other was shallow.
Su Mo came to the back of the hill.
Meanwhile, three excavated drains were working at full capacity to keep water from accumulating under the shelter’s hill.
A small lake had already formed at the area sixty meters away from the shelter.
Upon the sight of it.
.
Su Mo somewhat regretted it too.
If he had known, he would have just built a drain and built it as far away as he could!
Who knew this rain was so heavy it could create a small lake about ten meters long and wide at the back of the base?
“Gosh. I’ll be living near a mountain and lake once the rain stops!”
After checking that the drains were not blocked, Su Mo walked around the shelter again, checking for loose soil.
Fortunately, days of insolation made the land lack moisture desperately, preventing it from becoming a swamp.
Otherwise, he would not be able to do anything or move around for a day or two after the disaster.
After patrolling for half an hour, Su Mo began to head back. Relying on his raincoat for water protection, he was still dry and comfortable.
Back in front of the shelter’s main door.
Su Mo opened the main door. However, the moment he opened the main door, he casually turned his head. On the grassland more than ten meters away.
An unexpected marking caught Su Mo’s attention.
After taking a close look, Su Mo’s pupils immediately constricted!
‘Are these…’
‘Footprints?’
