Chapter 17 The Mystery of the Ruins, Continue to Stockpile!

[Feng Mengyue: Because there is no specific tool to measure time, based on the angle of the sun, the ruins I entered was about eight o'clock in the morning]

[Feng Mengyue: The outside of the ruins is shrouded in a layer of fog, but when you get closer, you can barely see what’s inside]

Looking at Feng Mengyue's private message two days ago, Su Mo nodded.

In terms of time and the shape of the ruins, everyone seemed to be similar. Pulling his mind downwards, Somo continued to look.

[Feng Mengyue: After entering the ruins, when I came to my senses, I found that I was standing in a building, surrounded by explosion-proof glass that was traded to you. I tried to look outside through the window, but was blocked by Because of the fog, I didn’t dare to go out later. I kept holding a few pieces of explosion-proof glass until two hours later, and then I automatically exited the ruins]

[Feng Mengyue: After leaving the ruins, about two hours have passed, which is exactly the same as in the ruins]

[Feng Mengyue: Although there is no way to get rid of the ruins, I can be sure that this ruins is definitely not our earth]

After seeing Feng Mengyue's private message, Su Mo's face darkened and he felt something was wrong.

The time when the first two ruins appeared matches the appearance of the ruins.

But the last three are completely different. Not only Feng Mengyue, but also everyone who has entered the ruins in the chat records orally stated that the place where they appeared was inside the building.

Only Somo appeared in a wasteland and had to break through the farmer's wall to enter the yard.

Moreover, Sumo has a 99% probability that the place he entered must have something to do with the earth.

[Suma: Why are you so sure? 】

After thinking about it and sending this sentence, Sumo's thoughts were flowing in his mind. He held the white porcelain teacup in his hand and thought to himself.

On the other side, in a slightly damp underground base, the woman leaning against the wall laughed as she watched the news on the screen.

Reflected in the firelight, the woman's bright white teeth and sweet smile showed no trace of the embarrassment of other survivors.

If Su Mo could see at this time, he would definitely recognize that the woman in front of him is Feng Mengyue.

Feng Mengyue did not reply immediately. Instead, she sent a message to others on the private message interface.

After a while, four people walked into the underground base.

There are three men and one woman, all of them tall and tall, with firm faces, unlike ordinary people.

"How about it, Yueyue, what did Somo say?"

The woman who came in said anxiously immediately, and the other three men also showed expectant looks after hearing the name Sumo.

"It's hard to say that Sumo is very cautious. I judge that he is very powerful and has already left the safe house and explored it." Feng Mengyue shook her head slightly.

Everyone was silent.

Feng Mengyue continued: "He bought glass before to strengthen his shelter, and he has a steady stream of water resources. Logically speaking, ordinary people should live by guarding the gold mine and slowly developing it, but Sumo didn't, so he still braved the risks. Entering the ruins proves that he is no ordinary person."

"Then what should we do? Can we still win him over to join our team?" The man with the scar on his face on the left said anxiously, a little uneasy.

"Let's take it one step at a time. Now we don't have transportation, and it's impossible to move. That is, we can only be connected if we are close."

[Feng Mengyue: Su Shen, right? It’s not like you haven’t seen the properties of that glass. Where can we find this kind of technology on earth? It’s almost like magic, right? Besides, there are other people in our team who have gone out of their own way. Buildings, I have seen the outside world. If Su Shen considers joining our team, this information can be shared together]

Seeing Feng Mengyue's reply, Su Mo shook his head and laughed dumbly.

It's not that he's not afraid of loneliness, or that he's afraid of these people harming him. At this stage, it's basically impossible to form a team except for the short distance.

And if he joins the team, the value he can provide immediately is the psionic water in his hand.

This is not a good deal compared to buying and selling.

After privately sending Feng Mengyue 100ml of psionic water information as reward, Sumo closed the private message.

"When I enter the ruins next time and I am still different from others, I will try to buy information from others. There is no rush for now."

The biggest danger at present is the unknown cycle of disasters. The prerequisite for exploring the ruins is to ensure the safety of the shelter.

If you are not careful, your refuge will be breached by disaster, and you will lose your wife and your troops.

After thinking for a while, Sumo collected his thoughts and began to continue building the shelter.

At present, the acquisition of iron is almost done, but the initial shelter cannot be made entirely of iron.

The strength of the iron shelter is not high. Although it will form a Faraday cage to resist lightning, its practicality is actually very low. Under ideal conditions, reinforced concrete is the optimal solution.

Opening the supplies column, Sumo began to sort out the purchased resources.

The first is iron. I have collected 130 units intermittently before. It took 6 units to build the iron stove, leaving 124 units left.

Next is wood. Because we entered the ruins, there is no logging today, and there is only one unit left in stock.

Plant fibers and stones, all used up.

Soil 6 units.

After adding the nether energy water, cooking pots, buying meat for cooking, and paying Feng Mengyue, there was still 8L left.

I don't plan to save this water soma.

Nether energy water has a fixed output every day, but the materials are different and need to be manually collected and sold.

Sumo kept an eye on it. The current trading system was really buggy. Not only did it have no restrictions, it could also transfer objects through the air.

This mechanism is nothing in the short term, but it will be controlled and manipulated by financial professionals in the future.

These financial people can make ordinary people run around by taking advantage of the price difference.

The survival game will naturally not sit idly by and watch these people break the rules like this.

After the novice stage, the trading system will definitely be subject to some restrictions, or even abolished.

And the most critical trading items, water and food, will definitely return to normal in exchange ratio over time.

At that time, it will be even more difficult to take advantage of the asymmetry of resources and gain development advantages.

After figuring this out, Su Mo opened the trading panel and started to buy.

Rare items, no one has put them up for sale yet.

Turn to ordinary materials and sort them by unit price.

Excluding wood, soil and food fiber, stone is the cheapest resource on the market.

It takes about 15-20 minutes to collect one unit of stone on the Great Plains.

Miners near the mine can mine one in about 5 minutes.

So according to the labor force, one unit of stone requires 5 ml of water.

Just after a brief calculation in his mind, Su Mo couldn't help but shout:

"It's really a black mine, no, even the capitalist black mines don't dare to do this."

Digging stones for an hour in the hot sun can only exchange for 60 ml of water.

Converted to two mouthfuls of water!

This is why many miners rest during the day and go out to mine at night.

The scorching sun during the day is too physically demanding, and 60 ml of water can't make up for an hour's consumption.

Only at night can these water resources just maintain the basic life needs of miners.

The more he analyzed, the more Su Mo understood the situation of other people in the end of the world.

Su Mo suppressed his inner anger, took a deep breath and said:

"Life game!"

It is essentially a seemingly game-like survival world, but behind it are pairs of eyes eager to survive.

Mining is just a very miserable life!

If you don't mine, you will die!

Of course, these miners are still the ones who live a relatively comfortable life among ordinary people. For example, living in a large plain like Sumo, there are no mines to dig.

They can only cut trees, and the resources they get in return are even less, which may not be enough to maintain a person's daily survival needs.

Shaking his head with a little disappointment, pretending to forget the many images that just flashed through his mind, Sumo whispered.

"If you are poor, you can take care of yourself. If you are rich, you can help the world. Consider it my insignificant contribution."

According to the market price, the exchange ratio of his psionic water to ordinary water is 1 to 3.

However, Sumo did not exchange it, but directly used psionic water to buy goods.

Monopoly trading is too profitable. Just spending 1L of psionic water can buy up to 200 units of stone.

Of the remaining 800ml of water, Sumo took out 500ml and exchanged all of it for food and stored it.

In terms of food selection, Sumo adhered to the principles of easy storage, fullness, salt, and not easy to deteriorate, and chose all bread.

Together with the remaining 8 kilograms of black bread panels, the current inventory of bread is now 14 kilograms.

Looking at the inventory full of supplies, Su Mo, who was previously depressed because of the human situation, gradually regained his confidence and said calmly:

"Although relying on the system is not my real ability, who can tell what will happen in the future? As long as I am alive, humans will never become extinct"

"One day, I will become stronger and live longer!"

"Maybe I can create a super shelter that is difficult to shake even by any natural disaster!"

Suma's tone became more and more calm.

Oreo, who was lying on the other side on guard, also turned around at the right time, howling, indicating that he also had a share of this burden!
