My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!-Chapter 73 - What Goes Around Comes Around

The death of the sentry tower kobold was akin to a drop of water hitting the surface of a boiling pan of oil; causing an immediate ruckus within the kobold castle.

Woo… woo… woo…

The death triggered the monitoring mechanism and alarm bells blared loudly, reverberating in the wilderness.

Shouts shook the earth!

Thousands of dogs howled and wailed!

The sound of grievances broke through the clouds!

Running through the overgrown wilderness, Su Mo looked back and was even more surprised.

The door in the center of the kobold castle was completely open and his vision was filled as hundreds of kobolds swarmed out of the small door.

They saw Su Mo sprinting away in the distance.

The kobolds clamored loudly, locking onto their target, and began to take long strides as the chase commenced.

“F*ck…”

“Did I stir up the hornets’ nest?”

Su Mo exploded with profanities and picked up the pace.

At this moment, he was extremely glad to have upgraded the shoes on his feet.

Bursts of powerful energy spread from toe to heel, increasing the propulsion of each step, making the next step easier and faster.

With each powerful step on the ground, a small pit could be seen left behind one after the other!

Su Mo never thought that he could run so fast!

The kobolds also did not expect Su Mo to run so fast!

Oreo, who was still sleeping on the hillside, was awakened by the roar at this moment and looked up sleepily.

The next moment, Oreo’s black and white face displayed a trace of humanlike surprise and bewilderment!

Ahh-woo…

Standing on the hillside, Oreo stretched out the howl.

It was as if she was saying, “D*mn, this brat Su Mo is too savage!”

In Oreo’s vision, the two parties were in a race. The frontrunner kobolds were about 400 meters away from Su Mo.

However, the scene became even more exaggerated.

Behind the frontrunner kobolds, there was another group of kobolds more than 50 meters away.

Moreover, a tide of kobolds continued to rush out from the small door, their eyes fixed in Su Mo’s direction, and started to chase after him.

“Oreo, you silly dog, run!”

Seeing Oreo still standing on the hillside, appearing majestic and arrogant, Su Mo shouted as he panted from exertion.

The next moment.

The targets pursued by the countless kobold army increased to two!

One human and one dog.

500 kobolds!

At times they stepped into potholes, and at other times they had to use both their hands and feet on the high slopes.

Unlike the kobolds from the exploration team, the kobold warriors from the castle were obviously in better physical shape.

The distance between the two parties constantly decreased.

380m…

350m…

300m!!!

Woof… hah… woof… hah…

The few kobolds leading the group had cruel smiles plastered on their faces.

It seemed that in a minute or two, they would be able to catch up with the nasty intruder in front of them and drag him back to the castle with a stone spear plunged into him, ready to be tortured properly.

However…

Woof? Woof! Woof?

They watched as the intruder suddenly sat on an iron shell.

The next second…

Black smoke erupted from the iron shell and quickly increased the distance between the two parties at a terrifying speed.

Even a kobold in their heyday could only sigh at that speed, not to mention a kobold team that had been chasing a target for over one kilometer.

Seeing the increasing distance between the two parties, the kobold team stopped in their tracks.

A hint of humanlike confusion appeared on their faces.

They looked at each other, not understanding why or how that iron shell could move so fast without being pulled by an animal.

On the high slope, more and more kobolds stood up and watched as the yellow dust storm stirred up by the iron shell got further and further away.

Silence… was the silence of all the kobolds standing on the hillside.

Roar… was the roar of Su Mo and Oreo speeding across the wilderness!

“Woohoo! Hahahaha!”

“Woof! Woof!”

“Fools like you want to catch me? Can’t you see how fast Grandpa Su Mo’s precious steed is?”

With one foot on the accelerator, Su Mo cheered heartily as the violent gusts of wind hit his face.

It had only taken two to three minutes.

Human beings could harness the power of machinery to perform ‘magic’ that was unique to humans in front of these so-called ‘fantasy’ creatures!

Diesel was the blood, the engine was the heart, and the wheels were the legs! The power was the ‘wind magic’!

While going downhill, the speed of the bouncing buggy increased to 65 yards per second!

Before the rolling dust realized who had stirred it up, the buggy’s swift shadow had already passed it by.

Facing the setting sun that was hanging over the horizon, Su Mo rushed to a safe spot and stopped the car.

In the rear compartment, Oreo was still standing; her hair naturally billowing back under the caress of the wind, looking indescribably sprightly and carefree.

Turning his head, he looked at the kobolds congregated densely on the mountain ridge.

A wave of pride swelled in Su Mo’s heart!

Raising his middle finger, Su Mo shouted loudly at all the kobolds looking in his direction, “Dogs, one day, I, your grandpa, will chase you instead!”

“At that time, I’ll show you what it means to be a human with a backbone!”

His loud voice vibrated through the air and transmitted into the distance.

It was unknown whether it was because Su Mo had stopped, or if it was because they heard Su Mo’s words, but the kobolds on the mountain ridge began to bark.

The momentum was rather like they were telling him, “Come on!”

After a few more glances, Su Mo bent his body, climbed into the buggy, and continued forward without looking back.

It was not until the mountain ridge where the kobolds stood had become as tiny as ants in the distance that Su Mo turned the car around and headed east.

On this trip, he had gathered enough information and his storage space had also been stuffed to the brim.

He had totally attained a bountiful harvest!

Driving the buggy and maintaining a speed of about 40 yards per second, Su Mo successfully returned to shelter number two before the sun went down.

After reaching that point, it would only take another three to five minutes before he arrived at his own shelter.

Oreo also realized that they had returned to their territory and began to whimper softly. As they approached, she became more excited; her voice changing tones several times.

“It’s great having such a solid shelter in the doomsday wasteland!”

As he parked the buggy in front of the gate of the shelter and looked at the unusually strong stone wall, Su Mo could not help but feel waves surge through his heart.

So what if it was a castle?

In the face of natural disasters, it was nothing more than an ant!

On the contrary, as the underground shelter got deeper and deeper, it would be much safer than a castle.

“However… it would be better to bring a helmet the next time I go out. All that gravel this buggy kicks up hurts my head.”

Sumo smiled and touched the back of his head. When he saw that Oreo’s body had also been smashed by the gravel, he shook his head

He could avoid most obstacles while driving on the wasteland.

However, it was inevitable that the buggy, which had a chassis that almost touched the ground, would be uncomfortable without any glass or protective covering.

After placing Oreo down and parking the buggy back in the simple garage, Su Mo arrived at the back door of the base.

“Tomorrow, I’ll need to find a way to make a big lock. Otherwise, I would have to enter through the back door every time I enter and exit. It’s also pretty dangerous not to lock the backdoor.”

Lifting the heavy stone slab and putting Oreo inside the shelter, he looked around again before climbing inside and closing the stone slab.

Cluck, cluck.

Cluck.

Big Spark and Little Spark heard the noise and scampered out quickly, sitting in a row at the spot where they had exited the back door.

After seeing Su Mo appear, they puffed their chests up and circled around him.

“Okay, I’m back. Are you hungry?”

Seeing a few small crystals appearing on the culture medium, Su Mo realized what Big and Little Sparks’ behavior meant.

They were here to claim credit, huh?

Stroking Little Spark’s head and holding the two little chickens in his arms, Su Mo walked over to the living room and turned on the lights.

The dark shelter suddenly brightened up.

It was like going out to work in the era of planet earth and returning to his room at night.

At this moment, a feeling of incomparable calm and peace of mind washed over him.

“Sulfur, saltpeter and another twelve days to go!”

“Kobold beasts, just you wait!”
