The disaster ended.
‘The tsunami stopped completely, and the surface of the ocean reverted back to its initial calm state, without a single ripple in sight.
‘The flames that had been extinguished in the area where the Hope One was located were ignited once again.
After the live broadcast stream ended, there was no mercy nor parley.
After just eleven shells were fired, the line of defense of those 15 thousand foreign races collapsed instantly.
Amidst the blazing fire, they burned to ash and transformed into a number of treasure chests that floated on the surface of the ocean.
The explosions and smoke from the ballistic missiles fogged up the sky.
However, this did not dampen the excitement felt by the fleet’s survivors!
After a short period of rest, the process of gathering the spoils started once again.
Thanks to the “lighthouse” at the top of the Hope One, one could see each of the happy survivor’s heads as they floated on and swam in the water.
Su Mo and Lu Yongyi, the supreme leaders of the two fleets, walked side by side on a raft ferry.
Behind them were more than ten ship captains.
At this moment, Su Mo had already removed all his body armor and was only wearing a lightweight sweatsuit. Along with his youthful handsome face, he did not look much different from a university student in the civilized era.
Lu Yongyi beside him, as well as the captains behind him, had also changed out of their bloodstained garments and into fresh new clothes.
Seeing the grand scene unfolding below, Lu Yongyi was like a kid who had just gotten a new toy. He could not help but say, “That’s good. The disaster is finally over, and our ship has also been repaired. Those foreign races have definitely been scared out of their wits. I think our humans relocation plan
will proceed a lot smoother moving forward too. Su Mo, thank goodness you were here, otherwise I don’t know if these humans would…”
“Shelter Leader Lu, enough. Do you really have to put a damper on this festive atmosphere?”
Zhang Long caught up to them quickly, his face beaming with happiness.
Lu Yongyi returned to his senses. “That’s true. The game is going to be updated now too. Look at this prompt—we can finally relax in the next version. Although we will lose some of the game’s assistance, there will probably not be many people who would be willing to focus on developing through the
game’s functions after going through this war.”
After saying this, Lu Yongyi tilted his head slightly.
Sensing his gaze, Su Mo nodded as well.
“That’s right. After the next version update, there will be no trading market or World Chat. All long-distance communication and support platforms will be cut off.
“Luckily, there are plenty of people gathered around our fleets. During this remaining time, we can get in touch with everyone and gather more people together. In that way we won’t have to worry about being caught off guard once the game functions disappear. Still, in the coming days, it would be
difficult to witness such a celebration!”
“Real Survival’ version.
To the current humans, in some way, this was not bad news.
Without the assistance provided by the game, humans could redirect their focus back to reality, rather than relying on the game’s illusory functions.
By relying on an ocean that was rich in aquatic flora and fauna, as long as the upcoming disasters were not too extreme, humans would be able to get past the most difficult first half of the year.
The days of development were just around the corner!
Seeing that Su Mo did not know what he was thinking, with a slight smile on his face, Lu Yongyi slowly said, “Right, Su Mo, I don’t plan to bring my fleet over to the New World, but Shelter Leader Long…”
“Huh?”
Lu Yongyi nodded again. “Shelter Leader Long has sent me news that he wants… No, it’s a problem facing the entire HQ of the Alliance of Humanity’s Future. They want to ask your opinion, Now that the war has ended, we humans urgently need to decide on an important issue.”
“After the ‘Real Survival’ version update, there will be countless opportunities in the New World, but to us humans who have currently already lost 4.0% of our total population, the risk of migrating there is too large. If there is another wave of disasters, and this degree of loss occurs again, I’m afraid… our
days will become even harder.”
“As such, everyone is now thinking whether to head to the center of the ocean and stay ten thousand kilometers away from the New World. The magnitude of disasters at that distance is only 40%. With the accumulated supplies from the war this time, as well as the various rewards that will be issued, the
chances of humans surviving there would be much higher.”
The problem that Lu Yongyi brought up was a big issue that all humans had to face.
Opportunities came hand-in-hand with risk.
‘The ocean version update this time had resulted in a loss of more than a billion people. All the surviving humans had once again become aware of this game’s cruelty.
Even if there were opportunities, they still needed to be alive to make use of them!
If they migrated to the New World and experienced disasters at 100% magnitude, it was very likely that they would not be able to hold on for very long before they were eradicated.
On the other hand, if they went to the center of the ocean and held out there, they might be able to reach a new turning point.
It was obvious that, among the humans this time, the ones in the enduring faction had the least casualties.
Thus, not even ten minutes after the war concluded, the higher-ups of the HQ of the Alliance of Humanity’s Future quickly passed a resolution and handed over the authority to make the final decision to Almighty Su.
This was a form of respect.
An unprecedented level of respect!
Almighty Su had saved the humans, so the humans should also believe in… Almighty Su!
Of course, if these people knew of the disasters that were going to occur in the New World, they definitely would not ask him such a question.
Faced with the foreign race zombies’ maniacal attacks, without sufficient strength, the New World was a death trap.
The kind where whoever who went would die!
After thinking about it and looking at Lu Yongyi’s solemn face, Su Mo did not hesitate further. He smiled again and said, “When you guys asked me this, did you not already have an answer in your hearts? I definitely won’t advise you all to go to the New World. I’ll tell you a fact instead.”
“Previously, I was only going to talk about this after the rewards were issued, but looking at things now, it seems it’s time!”
Waving a hand, the group stopped moving forward.
Without sugarcoating anything and homing in on the important elements, Su Mo quickly described the changes that the foreign races, who were “infected” Superpower Suppressant, would undergo.
From the changes in the beginning, to their continuous strength improvement and rebound, and then finally about their ability to infect normal foreign races as well as humans once they became zombies.
Even though Su Mo did not exaggerate any of the facts, the ten or so captains who were listening could not resist inhaling a few gulps of cool air, each of them making fearful expressions!
It could be seen that, although they previously said they wanted to head to the center of the ocean, they still wanted a chance to head to the New World.
However, upon hearing his description, their thoughts were one and the same.
F*ck! Whoever f*cking went, they would be stupid b*tches.
Uh.
Aside from Almighty Su!
Having realized the importance of the information, Lu Yongyi no longer had the desire to chase after him. After apologizing, he hurriedly ran to a quiet comer.
Clearly, he was reporting the information to the Dragon Flag Shelter.
This was the result that Su Mo had wanted to see, so he did not stop him and continued bringing the others with him as he walked down.
After more than ten minutes of going around the raft, everyone returned to Tundra One.
Here, Su Mo saw his “old” enemy, Ying Tianlong.
“Su Mo, you’re a devil. They’ve all been deceived by you and your hypocritical act. You’re the culprit. Humankind will perish with you!”
“You’re an executioner who has murdered loads of people. You’re a villain, a hypocrite, and you should go to hell!”
Tied to a chair, Ying Tianlong shouted like a lunatic.
In his forcefulness, he unexpectedly flipped the chair and clattered to the ground, much to the surprise of the two crew members watching over him.
Sprawled on the deck, Ying Tianlong’s mouth still kept shouting, but Shen Ke—who had been standing behind Su Mo—seemed to have realized something.
She took two steps forward, raised her hand, and slashed with her blade.
Ying Tianlong’s left and right hands left his body right then.
Reddish-brown blood poured out from the wounds. The immense pain made Ying Tianlong, who had still been cursing, cry out tragically.
“Ying Tianlong, you still want to use these kinds of tricks in front of me?”
“Don’t think that you’ll be able to list the things in your storage space on the trading market using the game panel. You can’t run, and neither can the items in your shelter core!”
“Do you believe that, as long as Almighty Su says the word, all the items traded from your shelter core will returned intact?”
Using the trading market to sell all of one’s items for 1g of grain.
This was what most people would do to make things more difficult for their enemies.
Avillain like Ying Tianlong naturally also knew of this method, except that his acting skills were not quite up to par and could not fool Shen Ke’s eyes.
“Heh, heh heh, Shen Ke, no wonder you’re Shen Yitian’s niece. It’s a shame, a shame that you’ve been living in ignorance!”
“Ha ha, didn’t you always want to know… how Shen Yitian died?
“He… He designed a blueprint for Su Mo and was not willing to betray him. I chopped off his left hand. He still didn’t want to, so I chopped off his right hand. He cursed me, so I cut off his legs. He cast me aside, so I didn’t spare his third leg either. One chop after another, I…”
Flash!
Another piercing flash of the blade.
This time, Ying Tianlong was shut up for good.
Fresh blood poured from his neck. On the head that flew off, one could still see the maniacal smile he had before his death, as well as a trace of.
Bitterness!
He died, humbled and humiliated.
At the spot where he died, a complete shelter core appeared.
Unbelievably, this b*stard Ying Tianlong—from the beginning to the end—had never placed down his shelter core!
“Su Mo, t—thank you for helping me…”
“No, I’m sorry, Uncle Shen… Ugh!”
‘Taking two steps forward, Su Mo hugged Shen Ke whose tears had already started pouring and gently patted her back, pain evident on his face as well.
Shen Yitian died a humble death… but a noble one.
He could not make his mark on this wasteland, but he had invisibly influenced many, and influenced humankind’s Almighty Su.
“Someday, I’ll have everyone remember. Someday, I’ll have everyone remember these brave warriors who died before the dawn!”
“Uh-huh!”
It was five o’clock on the wasteland.
After finishing his patrol around the Tundra fleet, Su Mo returned to Hope One with Ying Tianlong’s core.
Despite having killed his enemy, his mood was not great.
However, when he saw Su Chan playing with Moore on the deck, his mood lightened up like a rainbow after a storm.
summoning the game panel, he saw that there were more than 30 notification prompts.
Su Mo did not hesitate and chose to examine them immediately.
This war had been too devastating!
All of the surviving people should be greatly rewarded!
