nIn this disaster, without exception, all live broadcast rooms ranked in the top ten chose to build shelters on the ground, mainly with wooden houses.
n
nOnly the Lone Wolf Guide live broadcast room ranked ninth was made of a team of seven people.
n
nInstead of living in the shelter provided by the survival game, they simply chose to move to the foot of a mountain.
n
nThese people worked on digging a hole day and night for five days and finally dug out a cave that could accommodate seven people on the last day.
n
nIt was sturdily built against a mountain.
n
n“I wonder if these people have given up the shelter the game provided, or if it wasn’t released at all…”
n
nSu Mo pondered and began to wonder how the shelter would develop.
n
nHe subconsciously placed more emphasis on the game panel-generated shelter following the cues from the game panel.
n
nAs a result, development was currently stunted in the shelters.
n
nIt was a good thing but also a bad one to some extent.
n
n“I’m alone, while they have at least seven or eight people. Some even have a few dozens. I’m certainly not as fast as them in collecting supplies at the early stage. If I want to catch up with them, the only way to surpass them is to use technology!”
n
n‘I didn’t expect a corporate slave like me, who grew up studying, memorizing textbooks, and had never used my brain much could plan a base like a pro one day, but my hair…’ Su Mo laughed wryly at himself.
n
nBlindly hoarding resources and upgrading the shelter would only turn it into a solid tomb. When your upgrading speed could not keep up with the scale of the disaster, you would have to give up without a fight.
n
n“It requires combat abilities to get the good things in the ruins and explore the wilderness. It just won’t work without better equipment and weapons.”
n
n“The priority now is to find a way to develop electricity. I have an advantage, so I must use it.” Su Mo’s eyes darkened. “I’ll have to play it by ear.”
n
nThe rain was still falling outside. Su Mo got up and began to carefully weave a straw raincoat and a straw umbrella.
n
nHe had to go out and look around the shelter to make sure nothing happened.
n
nAfter some weaving…
n
n“Perhaps my weaving is too bad that the system doesn’t recognize it at all?”
n
nSeeing that the system failed to show the properties of the grass raincoat, Su Mo pursed his lips and spent another 4 units of wood to build a wooden trunk.
n
nHe put the grass raincoat into it and silently hypnotized himself.
n
n“It’s a closet. It’s a closet. It’s a closet!”
n
nHe said to himself thrice, focused, and his inner voice called to the survival system to look at the wooden trunk.
n
nSimple wardrobe
n
nDescription: Wood, used to store clothes.
n
nStock: Straw raincoat.
n
nPlease choose the item to upgrade: 1. Closet
n
n2. Grass raincoat
n
n“I knew it!”
n
nSu Mo raised his eyebrows when he saw the closet’s properties.
n
nAfter creating the grass raincoat, he could not see the grass raincoat’s properties and upgrade option when he summoned the survival system.
n
nThe system did not recognize this item at all.
n
nIt was like the tables and tea sets taken from the ruins, with no upgrade options developed.
n
nAfter creating the closet and putting it in, the upgrade options popped up.
n
n“I choose 2!”
n
nHe said to himself, and the grass raincoat’s properties were already on display when he looked at it.
n
nGrass raincoat
n
nDescription: A raincoat weaved from plant fibers. Provides minimal rain resistance.
n
nFirst upgrade option: Change the material and its look. Has stronger comfort. Survival points required (25).
n
nSecond upgrade option: Change the material and add electric power. Has stronger impact resistance, radiation resistance, corrosion resistance… Survival points required (300).
n
nIntroduction: An old man in a lonely boat, fishing alone in the snow.
n
n“Why these two options?”
n
nSu Mo frowned.
n
nIf he wanted to go outside, of course he wanted better water resistance!
n
nHowever, the two upgrade options that popped out did not make it clear where they enhanced.
n
nIt would be a waste to spend his survival point in this way.
n
nAs he gave it a try, Su Mo said to himself:
n
n“System, can I replace the upgrade option with stronger water resistance?”
n
nThere was a flash of light as Su Mo finished speaking, and the two upgrade options that were presented flashed away and became a new interface.
n
nGrass raincoat
n
nDescription: A raincoat weaved from plant fibers. Provides minimal rain resistance.
n
nUpgrade option: Strong raincoat
n
nSections: Waterproof (10), material (10), heat insulation (10), corrosion resistance (10)…
n
nIntroduction: Strong waterproof raincoat. It can keep you fresh on rainy days
n
nDon’t expose to the sun. Dry it in the shade.
n
n“I can change it?”
n
nSu Mo was surprised.
n
nApart from the psychic energy water well upgrade, it was the first time he had seen a separate property upgrade.
n
nCompared to the vague comprehensive upgrade, this upgrade was slightly more expensive, but you could choose the property you want, which was more suitable in this scenario.
n
n“It seems there are a lot more ways to use the system that I don’t know about…”
n
nHe memorized the information earlier and spent 20 survival points. Su Mo selected one by one and upgraded the water-resistance and material.
n
nInstantly.
n
nThe grass raincoat in the closet began to change.
n
nThe grass-woven waterproof layer started becoming dense, and the material also began to change.
n
nIt gradually changed from grass to a material similar to the waterproof cloth in the civilized age.
n
nThe color had also changed from the original yellow-green to a mixture of black and white.
n
nWhen the upgrade was completed, Su Mo took out the strong raincoat and began sizing it up.
n
n“It really is a raincoat upgraded by the system. No machine can come out with this workmanship!”
n
nYou needed precision to resist water.
n
nAfter putting on the raincoat, Su Mo found that the strong raincoat was a pullover. His body, hands, and feet were enveloped in it, which saved him the need to hold an umbrella.
n
nFrom head to toe, the raincoat fit him perfectly like it was customized for him. There were tiny air holes in the face area that allowed him to breathe and a water-repellent layer that ensured no water molecules could sneak in.
n
nNo mutant beast presence detected within a thousand-meter radius of the player.
n
nToday’s count 2

n
nAfter telling Oreo to stay in the base, Su Mo opened the main door, pulled the bolt up, and walked out.
n
nA hot damp feeling swept over his face.
n
nCrackling raindrops hit the top of his head and slid down the material of his raincoat to the ground.
n
nEven under the wind, a lot of raindrops spattered on his face covered by the raincoat.
n
nReaching out his hand, Su Mo wiped the water off his mask and looked out, gasping uncontrollably.
n
nThe area outside of the shelter seemed to have turned into a swamp.
n
nStanding halfway up the hill, the dry earth that was about to crack had drunk enough water and became sludge.
n
nThe brown vegetation began to turn green.
n
n“The rain here is so heavy! It’s a good thing I have a special raincoat.”
n
nSlightly perturbed, Su Mo shook his head and examined the soil around the shelter.
n
nThe amount of rain varied from place to place. It was information he gathered from the live broadcast rooms.
n
nThe rain at the number one Zeus Shelter was probably less terrifying.
n
nOne foot was deep, and the other was shallow.
n
nSu Mo came to the back of the hill.
n
nMeanwhile, three excavated drains were working at full capacity to keep water from accumulating under the shelter’s hill.
n
nA small lake had already formed at the area sixty meters away from the shelter.
n
nUpon the sight of it.
n
n.
n
nSu Mo somewhat regretted it too.
n
nIf he had known, he would have just built a drain and built it as far away as he could!
n
nWho knew this rain was so heavy it could create a small lake about ten meters long and wide at the back of the base?
n
n“Gosh. I’ll be living near a mountain and lake once the rain stops!”
n
nAfter checking that the drains were not blocked, Su Mo walked around the shelter again, checking for loose soil.
n
nFortunately, days of insolation made the land lack moisture desperately, preventing it from becoming a swamp.
n
nOtherwise, he would not be able to do anything or move around for a day or two after the disaster.
n
nAfter patrolling for half an hour, Su Mo began to head back. Relying on his raincoat for water protection, he was still dry and comfortable.
n
nBack in front of the shelter’s main door.
n
nSu Mo opened the main door. However, the moment he opened the main door, he casually turned his head. On the grassland more than ten meters away.
n
nAn unexpected marking caught Su Mo’s attention.
n
nAfter taking a close look, Su Mo’s pupils immediately constricted!
n
n‘Are these…’
n
n‘Footprints?’
