Chapter 297: Awakening, Ten Days in a Flash!

In history, people who followed the general trend guarded the country.

Those who went against the trend fought against it.

However, apart from these two groups of people, there was still another group.
These people were unique.
Their appearance could set off a series of events that would lead to momentous changes.

They would not play by the rules of the game, nor would they adhere to any traditions.

Must all revolutionaries have blue blood?

They would flip the tables on the rules!

In Chen Shen’s eyes, Su Mo’s actions always made him seem like he belonged to the group of people fighting against the country.
He was the kind of person who could become extremely ruthless or very calm, without a flaw, depending on who he was facing.
He was one who was able to read and adapt to the times.

Su Mo was merciless and ruthless when it came to enemies, but down-to-earth and approachable to his own people.
He could even squat down among a group of refugees and have the same bowl of noodles with them.

From the time Su Mo rescued him, Chen Shen knew that he was a kind man; a good guy.

As Su Mo’s follower, he did not have to be afraid of being excellent and getting thrown aside like a weed when his role was complete..

But now…

Chen Shen was stunned when he sensed that Su Mo seemed to exude a sense of madness from head to toe!

His memory and knowledge of the wasteland made it impossible for him to comprehend what had happened in this storage room that made Su Mo change like this within just a short hour.

Dismantling doors and barriers?

Although Chen Shen could not understand what Su Mo was about to do, a crazy feeling told him that if he succeeded…

The situation on the wasteland would undergo a drastic shift!

The past would be gone forever…

And humankind would welcome a new chapter!

Was this a bad thing?

After being stunned momentarily, Chen Shen shook his head, nodded again, and walked up the staircase with heavy thoughts weighing on his mind.

Clomp…

Clomp…

Chen Shen’s steps were so heavy that, as he climbed up the stairs, there was a resounding echo in the storage room below.

He made his way to the top of the stairs.
A single step would take him outside, but he paused when he looked toward the storage room below.

Looking at the door that was left ajar, there was a sudden glimmer of understanding in his eyes.

“It turns out…that we are actually on the lower level.
I am,and so is Brother Su…”

“What he wants to do is actually…”

Dong!

One step forward and Chen Shen’s shoes made a muffled noise that echoed throughout the cave, which was not something unusual.

However, if anyone were to lock eyes with Chen Shen at that moment, they would surely see the undisguised madness within which signified…

A wild ambition!

On the other hand, Su Mo knew nothing about the change in Chen Shen’s heart and attitude.
The further he walked out from the cave, the more passionate he became.

As the saying goes—heroes emerge during troubled times!

It had been exactly a month since he arrived on this wasteland that was devoid of all rules.
Su Mo’s desire to live as an ordinary person and have a stable life had quickly disappeared alongside it.

“Pushing a door open was not as exhilarating as breaking it down.
It’s only been a month since we arrived on this doomsday wasteland and yet a clear structure is about to be established.”

“Ordinary people who don’t understand or are unaware of the truth are being coerced and led by those thieves and villains with ulterior motives to die in the middle of the battlefield.”

“But these stupid thieves are also being coerced and led by the game to embark on this deadly path.”

“Given the lack of information, I’m afraid that these people won’t even know how they died.
It’s better to cause an uproar than for things to stay like this.”

“At least everyone will be aware of the truth and dangers surrounding the wasteland…”

“The game can issue missions to control humans and foreign races.
It’s not impossible for me, Su Mo…to do the same!”

During troubled times, this small shelter seemed to be able to protect oneself and one’s family.

However…

No one could escape from the calamity that would befall the larger group.

If these waves of natural disasters were natural occurrences and happened due to uncontrollable factors, then building a shelter was truly the best choice.

However, after discovering that these disasters were instigated by people with ulterior motives to force humankind to complete their so-called important tasks…

Every human being living in this wasteland would live as if carrying invisible heavy shackles on their necks, struggling to survive.

Despite how powerful these people might become in the future, if these shackles were not removed, it was only a matter of time before these shackles “took shape”.

In the end, they would still be a “prisoner” of the game.

“The shelter…”

“To me, an underground shelter is a place for me to settle down but, to the people in Hope Village and to my family, I’m afraid that I am…”

“Their shelter!”

“As long as I’m strong enough, their shackles will come off the moment I tear mine off of my own neck.”

“If humankind wants to survive in this wasteland, it’s not about competing on who has the stronger shelter, nor on the pace of development of science and technology.
It’s not even about who can be the last one standing…”

“What humankind needs is to rise above.”

“It’s about having someone who will rise above like a righteous thief!”

Wow!

As he stepped out of the gloomy cave, the scene in front of him suddenly became clear at once.

The sky was still the same.

The sun was still the same.

Everything was the same as before and nothing had changed but, in Su Mo’s eyes, this world was suddenly bigger.

He had to try and decipher the rules of the three-dimensional universe and their beings, along with other “ancient gods” lurking silently in the wasteland.

One would have full power over the wasteland when all the various rules hidden between heaven and earth fell into one’s hands.

Compared to living an empty and vague existence, the thought of competing with the gods, fighting against the game, and discovering all the hidden secrets made Su Mo’s blood rush.

At the same time, looking at the small hills above the Underground Shelter, Su Mo’s eyes seemed like they were traveling through time as he envisioned what this piece of land would look like in the future.

With the current advantage that they possessed, it was not difficult to build an underground shelter that could protect dozens of people.

However, as the situation worsened, and with the knowledge he had about future disasters and occurrences…

Su Mo’s thoughts changed.

“As long as I gain more survival points, the speed of my development will surely be unimaginable to this freaking game!”

“In the future, not only will I build a super underground city that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, but even on this land I will construct the infrastructure and defenses required to recreate the prosperous and magnificent era back on Earth!”

“When the time comes and my strength has matured, I’ll take you down in battle, stupid game!”

Clenching his fist as he stood on the cliff, Su Mo had even more thoughts swirling around in his head.

At the same time, Su Mo already had a rough plan for the crazy things that he was planning to accomplish.

This plan was crazy; so crazy to the point that, once it unfolded, the new world would become the base of operations for humankind to completely stand in opposition to the game.

However, for now, they were still very far from falling out with the game.

Therefore, it was best to insincerely cater to the game for now and utilize its various functions to slowly develop within this wasteland.

After some thinking, and realizing that this matter required thorough consideration, Su Mo did not act rashly.
He kept it in the depths of his heart and stopped thinking about it.

He went down the mountain, gave orders to the leaders, and took the mining team to extract some saltpeter.

After communicating with Connie the Lioness for a little while and discovering that the foreign races had no new plans or changes, Su Mo strode back to the base in a mood completely different from when he arrived.

While he had become the God of Cookery and minor shareholders of this wasteland, these slight changes did not greatly affect the overall plan for the situation.

Those humans who were supposed to gather would come together and the foreign races who should escort them would do so.
Before seeing his sister, Su Mo chose to keep a low profile to ensure that no unexpected trouble would occur because of him.

Once the mining team collected enough saltpeter, the production of ammunition and weapons would enter a stable state.

Before the disaster struck, despite the undercurrents surging in the wasteland, this small kingdom under Su Mo’s authority was still peaceful and stable without the interruption of outsiders.

Time began to pass slowly as Su Mo stayed dormant.

One day, two days, three days, four days…

Time went by very slowly.
During his days in the Underground Shelter, Su Mo went out less frequently.
He would stay in the shelter all day without stepping foot outside.

Apart from the time when the Hope Village cooks came to deliver his meals on time every day, to the other villagers, it was almost as if Su Mo had disappeared or gone missing.

Of course, as the disaster approached day by day, the thought of what Su Mo was “busy” with did not occur to those busy villagers either.

During the daytime, the villagers of Hope Village would work on constructing disaster-resistant facilities and continue sorting out certain details to ensure that no mishaps would occur during the ocean disaster.

In the evening, a public “trial” would be held.
The bad guys from Zeus Shelter were tried according to the crimes they committed to show and warn the villagers of the seriousness of the matter.

Meals were not something they were worried about, and they were even sheltered from the wind and rain.
As long as they worked on time every day, they could live comfortably.

Compared to the people on the World Channel who were living hurried and unpredictable lives, not only did these villagers have fulfilling lives, but they were also satisfied.

However, the one thing that gave them the most hope was…

The “metal monstrosity” that was taking shape rapidly!

Every day after they woke up, it became a compulsory activity for all the villagers to stand on the side of the cliff and gaze from afar at the construction progress of the destroyer.

Everyone ate large, white steamed buns as they watched, and even when the side dishes were not even served, the sight of the giant warship was in itself a “tasty meal”.
It was even good enough to be “eaten” as a side dish!

When they were exhausted from the day’s work and accidentally glanced at the destroyer, their bodies would immediately be imbued with a wave of enthusiasm to get their work done and quickly dive into the next construction project.

As for the construction speed of the tireless robot workers, after passing the initial phase of “hull construction”, things slowly turned extreme.

It took about 3 minutes for the furnace to create a steel plate, while the robot workers only took one and a half minutes to assemble them.

The furnace could only produce over 400 steel plates in a day, but the mechanics only needed 13 hours to complete the assembly work.

For this reason, at the cost of sacrificing the durability of the furnace, Su Mo chose to run the furnace non-stop, pushing its output to its limits, and used survival points to repair the durability loss caused.

As a result, the production rate of the steel plates finally climbed again, reaching 600 pieces a day.

The increased efficiency and speed meant that it only took 6 days and, when there were still 11 days left until the arrival of the disaster, the ship’s overall structure could be observed within the scaffolding.
It was already 70% complete!

At this point, the overall shape of the destroyer was set.

“This is a battleship in the shape of a destroyer…!”

After the first experienced villager came to this conclusion, all the villagers gradually began to comprehend what a destroyer and battleship meant.

However, the more they comprehended, the more astonished the villagers became.

Everyone had complete confidence that they could ride on this ship through the oceans and into the new world when the ocean disaster struck.

If such an awesome destroyer like this could not make it through the disaster, how could any of the others survive?

As they maintained their enthusiasm and work efficiency, when the tenth day arrived and seven days before the disaster, the destroyer finally reached its final step of construction.

The robot workers only needed to put and install the steel plates in place before they could officially enter the second stage of the shipbuilding.

The refinement testing stage!
