The skull on the ground did not snort, nor did fire burst from its eye sockets, shouting “How dare you?”, rising from the ground and screaming.
“Doth thee dareth dismount and square me?”
It just lay sideways on the ground and looked at him with empty eyes.
He knew in his heart that everyone already knew that the world was very different from what they knew before after transmigrating.
However, it was hard to avoid feeling waves of fear seeing a skeleton scattered on the ground with his own eyes.
After all, humans had a natural fear of the supernatural.
Su Mo’s heart was churning quickly as he looked at what was before him.
He moved his steps gently, trying to avoid the skull’s line of sight.
Crack!
Su Mo carefully took a step to the left but accidentally stepped on an object on the ground that gave a loud crack.
He looked down and immediately felt his scalp tingling.
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry, man. I didn’t mean to disturb you. Sorry!”
After being trampled by Su Mo, a white bone arm had broken in half, opening a gash down the middle.
Su Mo looked around by the light. Not only the arm but the floor was littered with bone fragments.
“I wonder who it is. It’s so sad…”
Su Mo smiled wryly at the intact skull lying on the ground as he moved away from the broken bones on his right.
The floor of the ruins seemed to be made out of concrete, and plenty of feline fur could be seen scattered on the ground.
After thinking about it, Su Mo took out the last unused torch from his inventory and chose to light it.
It was scary to use the flashlight in the dark ruins.
It was as if he was raiding a tomb. Almost resembling a horror movie if you added the BGM.
As bright flames appeared over the ruins, Su Mo finally had time to take a good look around.
The house of this ruin was small, and Su Mo could faintly see the things inside from near the main door.
Focusing, Su Mo sadly discovered that, for some reason, the game panel’s identification function and the survival system’s identification function had been turned off.
It was more like an underground shelter than a ruin.
“Record my shelter as shelter number one and refer this underground ruin as shelter number two for the time being.”
Opening his usual private messages, Su Mo found the friends he had added earlier and began to write down what he saw and heard.
Memories could deceive, words could not.
After writing down what he had seen, maybe he could figure out where the loopholes were after getting back to the shelter and analyze it.
Upon reaching the main door, the first exploration description began to appear in the chat box.
“Doomsday calendar Month 1 Day 6, entering shelter number two for the first time.”
“Shelter number two is made of iron or steel of unknown materials according to simple touch and sound. The feeling is similar to the alloy doors of the civilization era. The strength is yet to be tested, and there is no trace of leakage.”
“The wall is made of unknown materials. According to observation, it’s initially suspected to be the product of reinforced concrete or unknown architectural stone. It’s extremely strong. Observing from the hole at the top, the thickness of the wall is about 25cm.”
“There are mysterious patterns on the floor, with different quantities and shapes. There are no symmetrical patterns for reference or any communication. No specific reference value at present (emphasis, need to investigate).”
“There are dozens of unknown feline fur (picked up), a humanoid skeleton (cannot be determined to be human, to be investigated).”
“There are scattered tables around, overturned utensils on the floor, no paper records, and I can’t use the game panel to view the properties. The reason is unknown.”
“Combined with previous signs, it is highly likely that it has been explored by an unknown presence (emphasis: explosives, fur), and most of the valuable objects have been removed or destroyed!”
“At the innermost side of the shelter is an abandoned deep well similar to the psychic energy water well. At first smell, it gave off a strange fragrance. Uh, it’s a little overwhelming, but it makes you happy after you smelled it.”
“I smell it again and think that… It smells like blueberry jam.”
“I smell it again and think that… it smells like the spectacular Chinese photinia in spring.”
“Su Mo oh Su Mo. How can you let yourself indulge in it? Have you forgotten what you came here for?”
“I smell it again and think that…”
“Cross out the whole paragraph.”
“I tried to lift the abandoned well manually but found that the method was wrong, and the device was stuck. The cause is unknown (prioritized investigation!). ”
“At the corner of the shelter, there was a straight stairway heading downstairs. There was a small amount of feline fur on the stairs and was stuck on the edge (collect).”
“Fourteen steps down the stairs, and I found the second floor of the shelter (emphasis). Did I find a car from the civilized era?”
Holding a torch and remembering the smell of the abandoned well while taking notes, Su Mo froze.
As Su Mo’s focus dissipated, the game panel began to fade into view.
However, none of this caught Su Mo’s attention.
Because… on the underground second floor, Su Mo immediately saw the vehicles placed in the middle.
“Isn’t… Isn’t this the buggy in PUBG?”
Behind the vehicle frame, reinforced with a triangular roll cage, sat an engine smaller than a generator but much more demonstrably detailed.
It had a single seat and even a “luxurious” convertible with ventilation on all sides with no glass restrictions so that the driver could fully feel the touch of nature when driving.
The overall shape was obviously like a buggy except that the tire was flat, and there were several dents on the frame due to external force.
Human civilization?
Su Mo had no idea.
If it had not been ransacked, perhaps the details inside would have led him to the owner’s identity.
However…
This mess had destroyed any possibility of finding out the identity. Even around the second floor…
“Hmm? Is that a card word?”
Looking at a pictograph of “car” on the left side of the wall, Su Mo subconsciously looked at the only buggy on the second floor.
Looking to the right, an arrow-shaped indicator pointed right at the buggy car in the center.
The meaning was self-evident.
“Does the owner of the ruin want to send a message with this car?”
Su Mo frowned, trying to think as much as he could about what he had missed when he came down.
From the Liangfang Town in the misty ruins to the underground ruins, it seemed to be traces left by his own kind. Others were playing violent pushing games, while he was the only one solving mental puzzles.
Su Mo had an idea and began to connect and analyze all the details after entering the ruin.
Time passed.
One speculation after another was denied, and all the clues led to one place.
Shaking his head, Su Mo hurried over to the buggy’s tank, where he decided to test his hypothesis based on the instructions.
Unfortunately, after opening the lid of the tank to take a look, sure enough, the oil in the tank had already evaporated.
He could use the diesel from the shelter as fuel for the buggy, but there was too little storage space for him to take it with him when he came out.
“I wonder if there’s diesel or gasoline in here…”
If the buggy was in good condition and working, he could go anywhere in this world!
Holding the torch, Su Mo was about to carefully squat on the ground to search for a diesel bucket.
However, there was suddenly a great noise outside!
“Woof woof woof~ Awoo!”
“Woof!”
“Woof!”
First came Oreo’s signature barking, followed by two very strange, human-like barks.
“Oh no! It’s Oreo’s warning. There are ‘people’ outside!”
Su Mo instead put out the torch, took out his well-strung crossbow, and darted off to the first floor.
