nWhen collecting supplies, most people did not think of using cloth that absorbed water better, so they could only substitute with secondary plant fiber.

n

nHe pulled a handful of cloth from the corner of his cupboard, and Su Mo had made up his mind after counting them.

n

nIt should be enough!

n

nAfter lighting the torch, Su Mo went carefully to the stone door to investigate exactly where the water was seeping.

n

nSu Mo was relieved after lying on his stomach and watching for a while.

n

nThe place where the water was seeping was the lower right edge of the stone door.

n

nProbably due to the uneven terrain, the shelter was actually slightly higher on the left and lower on the right.

n

nIt directly caused acid rain to seep in through the gap on the lower right.

n

nDue to the uneven left and right, the left side was not leaking. Otherwise, it would be a problem if both were leaking.

n

n“In that case, it’s not very serious…”

n

nStaring at the spot where water was seeping in little by little, Su Mo had a bold idea.

n

n“If this acid rain could be collected, won’t it be equivalent to a poison? And a strong one at that…”

n

nSu Mo’s brain was active in the luxurious shelter while others tried to survive the disaster.

n

nThe more Su Mo thought about it, the more he felt that it could be done. He said excitedly:

n

n“Since this acid rain can’t corrode anything except the human body, I’ll simply make a guide rail and collect the acid rain leaking in with a tank!”

n

nHe dived right into it as soon as he finished speaking. Su Mo smoothened the cloth and carefully placed it where water was collecting.

n

nSu Mo’s heart was instantly relieved as he watched the water on the ground being quickly absorbed by the dry cloth.

n

nThe anxious Oreo seemed to sense the danger disappearing, and his teeth-baring expression eased.

n

nWhile absorbing the water, Su Mo began to check yesterday’s survival points harvest.

n

nDoomsday calendar Month 1 Day 5

n

nYou made it through the first night of disaster unscathed. (Survival points 5)

n

nYou gained a small increase in combat abilities with your continuous training. (Survival points 2)

n

nYou opened up the first small facility attached to the shelter—a drainage channel. (Survival points 30)

n

nYour base has changed dramatically from the wooden age to the stone age. (Survival points 50)

n

nYou got your first ranged weapon, which gave you a huge leap in combat power. (Survival points 10)

n

nYour long-range shooting ability has increased. (Survival points 2)

n

nScanning host survival environment. Survival points evaluation in progress. 52 survival points gained today.

n

n…

n

nTotal calculation: 151 points!

n

nSurvival points remaining: 153

n

n153 survival points!

n

nSu Mo was slightly surprised by the latter statistics.

n

nHe had spent almost all of his survival points to upgrade his shelter yesterday—only 2 remaining, and his sense of security had plummeted.

n

nHe did not expect that with the drainage and stone shelter, his survival point was restored to 153 points.

n

n“At this rate, I won’t be afraid of a disaster being magnified all of a sudden!”

n

nCompared to this shelter, the restoration of survival points undoubtedly made people feel more secure.

n

nSitting on the stone chair and looking at the safe shelter, a sense of security surged, and his stomach began to grumble in protest.

n

n“You must be hungry too.”

n

nTouching his stomach, Su Mo smiled. Oreo realized that dinner was about to be served. He walked up and down as if he were about to soar with joy.

n

nAfter pulling out the psychic energy water he had stored overnight and using the survival system to confirm that the water quality was fine, Su Mo poured all the water into a wooden bucket and stored it.

n

nPouring about 1L of psychic energy water from the bucket with a wooden basin into the wok, Su Mo started a fire to cook.

n

nIt was still the same bread soup. The soup base was rich and slightly white, leaving a rich aftertaste.

n

nIt was a comforting sip of hot soup in an underground shelter while others were desperately trying to avoid a disaster.

n

nAfter eating and drinking, and brushing the wok, the cloth had absorbed the acid rain on the ground, leaving only a little behind.

n

nAfter carefully prodding the cloth to one side with a wooden stick, Su Mo used a torch to bake and evaporate the last water stain.

n

n“It looks like it’s just a slight seepage. It took one night to accumulate this much.”

n

nAfter observing the crack of the door, Su Mo had a clear idea of the resilience of his current shelter.

n

nAcid rain was scary, but it was categorized as a beginner disaster in the survival game.

n

nIt meant that it would not be hard to survive the first disaster with a bit of forethought and caution.

n

nIt also turned out that those who did survive did not have a problem surviving another day by relying on their own way.

n

nHe conveniently transported the water tank to the bottom of the steps by using the storage space.

n

nSu Mo began to build a guide rail to collect acid rain.

n

nAfter two units of iron were used to make iron plates with iron edges, Su Mo took out two units of plant fibers to make a hemp rope, which was used to fix the iron rails together with the wooden box.

n

nAll the rainwater that seeped through the crack of the door would slide down the stone steps and eventually onto the iron plate, then to the water tank.

n

nAt the current rate, it should not be a problem to collect about 1 liter of rain before the disaster was over.

n

nAfter doing everything to resist the disaster and pouring out water to water the vegetable field, Su Mo sat on a chair and continued to collect information.

n

nThey could not go out. Almost everyone gathered at the chat channel.

n

nSkipping the overwhelming World Channel flooding with messages, Su Mo clicked into the Regional Channel suffering heavy causalities.

n

nThe usually slightly lively Regional Channel was now listless, and they were mostly talking about trivial matters.

n

n“Oh, when will this miserable life end?”

n

n“I’m doing alright here. I’ve picked a high ground, and it’s good. It seems I’ll have no problem getting through this disaster, but next time…”

n

n“Lil Liu, who’s beside my base has lost contact with me since yesterday. I wonder how he’s doing.”

n

n“I heard that some people in the wilderness have abandoned their shelters, committed crimes on the run, and robbed others. Be smart when surviving disasters. Don’t let these inhumane beasts attack you.”

n

n“Yeah. I don’t know how many lives will suffer in these lawless troubled times.”

n

n“If they dare to come here, I’m no pushover. I’ll make them pay some price. Besides, these people must have robbed a lot of things. Maybe I can gain something.”

n

n“Cut it out. They come in a group. You alone? Two fists are no match for four hands!”

n

nAfter lurking for some time, Su Mo silently exited the Regional Channel.

n

nHe had already guessed that some would abandon their shelters and choose to wander, collecting supplies by raiding other people.

n

nHe just did not expect humanity to fall so quickly.

n

n“It seems we’re not just looking out for mutant beasts, but also these wilderness vagrants.”

n

nAfter adding a rule in his mind, Su Mo began to look at the new features.

n

nIn the chat function, other than the World Channel and Regional Channel, there was an extra Disaster Resistance Channel; just as expected.

n

nHe clicked into the Disaster Resistance Channel.

n

nIt was a bit like the live broadcast room in the civilized age, where ten live video feeds were evenly distributed from one to ten on a single page.

n

nEven the titles were different.

n

n

nCurrently ranked in the top ten shelters with live broadcasting rights, four were from his country, ranking third, fifth, sixth, and ninth respectively.

n

nSix were from overseas.

n

nSu Mo was a little surprised to see this number.

n

nIn his estimation, having two shelters from his country in the top 10 were already good enough, but now there were four.

n

nAfter all, in terms of operational ability and combat abilities, foreign countries had vast lands and were sparsely populated, so they had more opportunities to train.

n

nHis country was relatively stable, so many people had no chance to go to the wilderness to train.
