My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1497

[1488. Chapter 1465: Demigod level, follow your heart’s choice!]

Two months passed, and when the survivors had escaped from a two-year period of food shortage, territories with natural advantages like Boulder became popular.

Considering that war between humans and aliens may break out at any time.

Even ordinary people have an urgent need for a sense of security and no longer blindly covet the benefits of large territories.

Of course, the welfare of large territories is not as good as that of giant stone territories.

In Tesla’s territory, they can only hold a bonfire New Year’s Eve party, and supply potatoes without limit.

The Stone Territory can supply delicious pancakes, some fast food, and precious grain wine.

No one cares whether grain wine is brewed from good grains or some rotten grains.

No one cares that this meal also requires paying for three days of public supplies quota.

At this moment, all worries are thrown aside.

The villagers sitting around the campfire sang loudly, using the familiar melody to relieve the psychological pressure that had been suppressed for two years.

As the atmosphere gradually reached a climax, Lord Zhang walked out amidst the crowd.

Having served as lord for half a year, Lao Zhang had long lost his initial immaturity. The firelight shining on his rough, weathered face made him look exceptionally resolute.

He cleared his throat, and the whole audience suddenly fell silent, with nearly ten thousand eyes focused on him.

“Brothers and sisters from all over the world, we sit here tonight not only to celebrate the arrival of the New Year, but also to commemorate the first year we have walked hand in hand on the wasteland.”

“Looking back, life in the wasteland is like a thick textbook that taught us the true meaning of persistence and unity. Together, we resisted the invasion of hunger, overcame the ravages of cold, and faced countless unknown natural disasters and challenges. I believe that it is these hardships that have forged the indomitable will of all mankind, allowing us to learn to sow the seeds of hope in the wilderness and find that ray of light in the abyss of despair.”

“Looking forward to the new year, I don’t want to say anything pretentious here.”

“In the three years of the wasteland, the Giant Stone Territory will continue to develop the subsequent stone mountains. We will open up more arable land at the foot of the mountain and introduce a variety of new crops, so that baked bread and vegetables will become common meals on every household’s table, and grain wine will no longer be a luxury, but a drink that every villager can taste at any time.”

“In addition, we will strengthen the village’s defenses to ensure the safety of every resident. We will promote education so that knowledge will not be lost in this generation of children. In addition, bravely exploring the unknown, searching for valuable resources, and exchanging technology with other territories will also be the focus of the future development of the Giant Stone Territory.”

“I believe that one year from now, we will welcome a new boulder territory!”

Lao Zhang’s words were like a warm current, warming everyone’s heart.

The crowd instantly burst into thunderous applause and cheers, and the atmosphere reached a boiling point.

The villagers raised their glasses, paying high tribute to the lord and expressing their sincerest wishes for a bright future for the Stone Territory.

“Hey, this guy is really getting more and more presentable!”

Luo You stood in the crowd and couldn’t help but smile when he saw Lao Zhang speaking with great vigor.

From a timid fisherman in the beginning to the lord of a territory of 30,000 people today.

People grow at an alarming rate through trials and tribulations. Even if the people in the Xingye Territory saw Lao Zhang’s current appearance, they would not connect the two together.

“Dad, I plan to leave in a few days.”

Luo Xiang stood behind Luo You, tiptoed and watched Lao Zhang’s speech for a while, then suddenly spoke.

“Have you figured it out?”

“Well, what my cousin said is indeed right. This kind of stable environment is not suitable for me. Taking risks and growing up between life and death is what I really want.”

Luo Xiang paused. Although his words still sounded loud and noisy, his tone was much calmer than before.

“Then go ahead. I won’t stop you. A man has to go through something before he understands his responsibilities.”

Luo You nodded with relief.

He was not worried about Luo Xiang’s life or death, and he never thought about whether they would see each other again after they separated.

This is what the wasteland is like, every minute counts.

Standing still and staying where you are may bring you temporary safety, but at some point you will wake up and understand the cost of wasting time.

“By the way, it seems my cousin hasn’t been home for three weeks?”

“I don’t know. Maybe Tesla’s territory is busy. Why are you paying attention to this? You should think about your next preparation for going out.”

Luo You shrugged and changed the subject without leaving a trace.

After a while, the speech ended. Lao Zhang smiled and waved to everyone around him, then quickly walked off the stage and went straight to Luo You.

“Did I perform well?”

“It’s OK, but I don’t know if these big words can be realized next time.”

“That can’t be possible. I never brag. What I say will definitely come true.”

Lao Zhang laughed and was about to use some things that happened in the past to support his words.

But at this moment, several guards in brand new uniforms squeezed through the crowd.

“Lord, Vice Lord Ji just came to the dock and asked us to help deliver a package to you.”

“What?”

Old Zhang was stunned. “Vice Lord Ji is back? Where is he?”

“No, Vice Lord Ji gave us the package and left.”

The guard shook his head and quickly recounted what had just happened at the dock.

“Vice Lord Ji drove a ship we have never seen before. It was about ten meters long. It looked much more advanced than the Golden Eagle’s ship. When we first arrived, we were still guessing which territory this distinguished guest came from.”

“This is a package. He asked me to pass it to you. He said he has important things to do in the next period of time and may not come to our Giant Stone Territory again in the short term. If you have any questions, you will understand after taking a look at the package.”

“In addition, he also wishes you and Boss Luo a happy new year, and hopes that you can realize your dreams as soon as possible.”

A ship that has never been seen before?
More advanced than the Golden Eagle?

In just a moment, Lao Zhang immediately thought of the patrol boat that left a deep impression on him.

At the same time, an indescribable special feeling surged into his heart.

“Lord?”

“Oh, give me the package.”

Taking the heavy package from the guard, Lao Zhang took a deep breath and looked at Luo You.

The so-called important thing is naturally the battle between gods that is about to begin.

Is this moment finally coming?

The two looked at each other, and could see the heaviness flashing in each other’s eyes.

They can hide in this huge stone territory and develop step by step, but Su Mo has to face the challenge, face countless alien races, and win the gambling fight under tremendous pressure.

The difficulty involved is enough to make one shudder just thinking about it.

“Let’s go and take a look together.”

Leaving the bustling crowd, Luo You and his son and Lao Zhang arrived at the stone house allocated to Su Mo one after another.

Although Soma only comes back once every two weeks, this stone house is cleaned by someone every day.

Gently push open the door of the stone house, and a faint scent of grass wafts from inside.

Bright lights came on, Luo Xiang was guarding the door, and Luo You and Lao Zhang walked into the house.

Lao Zhang took out a pair of scissors and gently peeled off the sealing wax.

The kraft paper was spread out from the middle to the outside. On the top was a letter, and below were two document bags wrapped in waterproof bags.

“You come to demolish it?” Old Zhang turned and looked at Luo You.

“Just tear it down, what are you afraid of?”

After glaring at Lao Zhang, Luo You himself was actually a little nervous.

It should be said that a gambling fight is about to happen. If this letter contains information about the gambling fight
, Lao Zhang took a deep breath and gently opened the envelope.

Surprisingly, there was only one page in it, and the text was divided into four paragraphs.

“I’m sure you’ve guessed what I’m going to do before you even opened this letter. Hush, don’t say anything, please help me keep this secret for now.”

“In ten days, a fleet will set out for the Golden Eagle. It is expected to pass through the Stone Territory in twenty-five days. At that time, you can decide whether to stay or go to another place.”

‘Friendly reminder, if you follow your heart’s choice, you will often receive the blessing of the Stone God~’

‘If you choose to leave, you will give the gift in the package to the next Lord of the Stone Territory.’

There is no information about gambling fights between gods.

There is no mission or task that they should not bear.

After reading the contents of the letter, Luo You breathed a sigh of relief. After such a long time, he finally waited for Tianyuan’s ship.

Staying in the Stone Territory really wouldn’t allow him to make full use of his strengths.

The only alien races that can be contacted here are mostly at the bottom of the alien race and do not have much value.

Only by going to Tianyuan and being able to come into contact with the front-line battlefield of alien races can we find research subjects.

“Twenty-five days later, that will be the first week after the Gods’ Gambling Contest begins.”

“It seems like you should take advantage of the time now and hand over your work as soon as possible.”

Luo You took the letter with a smile, read it silently in his mind and couldn’t help laughing.

However, to his surprise, Lao Zhang beside him did not respond for a long time and fell into deep thought.

“Why, you don’t want to leave?”

“No, I was wondering if you’d stay there after you went there?”

“Of course not. I will immediately follow the troops to the front line. Why would I stay in the rear?”

“That”

Lao Zhang hesitated and shook his head slightly.

“I was wondering if we should stay for a while, just in case the first battle of gods ends too soon?”

“It’s up to you. It’s fine for you to stay. There’s no need to limit yourself. Just follow your heart.”

Both of them tacitly agreed not to break the window paper.

Unlike the ordinary survivors outside, what they want is never a stable life, but to catch up with Soma and promote human beings to take root in the wasteland.

Including Lao Zhang, who just felt that he was falling behind, and couldn’t wait to express his feelings.

“Well, it seems that this gift does not need to be given to others.”

Lao Zhang let out a breath.

If it were before, he would definitely go to Tianyuan Territory without hesitation, as it was a bigger stage where he could continue to test the limits of his abilities.

But in the past two months, Su Mo’s periodic visits and his special actions each time made him realize the importance of the Giant Stone Territory.

There seemed to be other values here that he didn’t know about.

Therefore, he decided to stay here until the outcome of the first gambling fight was determined.

After all, unlike people like Luo You who have great abilities, he is just an ordinary person.

Even if there was only a slight chance of helping Su Mo, Lao Zhang didn’t want to miss the opportunity because of his own ideas.

A few days later.

In a deep valley in the southern fire zone where no one has ever set foot.

A few ripples appeared on the water, and a low-key but technologically advanced boat quietly came from downstream and stopped at a place where the water flow was slower.

A tall and burly figure jumped out from the cabin and landed on the shore.

“It looks pretty good here.” Su Mo looked around. The terrain in the valley was like a gourd. The exit and entrance were very narrow, but there was a huge lake in the middle.

Although dense forests cover both banks, the land area is actually very small, only about twenty meters wide.

While it was still early, Su Mo pulled out a hatchet from the cabin and quickly explored the surroundings.

In terms of location, this is already the area closest to the edge of the New World.

If you follow the water system for less than a hundred kilometers, you will leave the New World and enter the ocean surrounding the plates.

Maybe there was human activity here when people first landed.

But with the emergence of the Julong Xianjiang River and the split of the plates again, there were indeed no signs of any human activities in the surrounding areas.

And even if a few years pass, the speed of human development will not be able to reach here.

“The location is perfect, but I don’t know if the water is deep enough.”

Su Mo nodded with satisfaction, jumped onto the boat, took off his clothes and jumped into the water.

Due to its proximity to the sea water outside, the river water in the valley is extremely cold, estimated to be only minus five degrees Celsius.

But for Su Mo’s current physique, it is no different from warm water.

Soon, Soma swam to the bottom and measured the approximate depth.

Perhaps due to the impact of the earthquake when the plates split, there is nearly 120 meters below the horizontal surface, which is definitely a good place to hide things.

“That’s enough!”

Back to the surface, Su Mo had an idea.

Wow.

Suddenly, a gap appeared in the void, and a ship over 300 meters long crashed out of it.

“It’s been a long time.”

Feeling that the water level seemed to have risen a little, Su Mo couldn’t help but smile.

The Hope, which has been upgraded to demigod level, has indeed undergone a drastic change in appearance.

Not only did the length increase from the original 80 meters to 300 meters, but even the material of the ship’s hull changed, turning into a light blue armor that Suma had never seen before.

It was magical. A thin mist lingered on the armor and enveloped the entire ship in the blink of an eye.

It was as if fog suddenly appeared in the deep valley. Even though he was hundreds of meters away, Su Mo still found it difficult to see what was hidden inside through the mist.
