My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!

Chapter 55: Gaining New Neighbors Unexpectedly

Su Mo crouched and hurried through the passageway to the exit, where he pushed the small stone door open and burrowed out.

The two wild feather chickens were pretty brave when they saw their surprise guest Su Mo. All they did was stand still and cluck.

“Hi, nice to meet you. I’m your neighbor, Su Mo!”

Su Mo slowed down his steps and advanced carefully toward the two wild feather chickens.

He moved slowly, and the wild feather chickens did not seem to be reacting aggressively either.

Unless it was absolutely required, Su Mo did not intend to use “enthusiastic” methods to invite his new neighbors to begin a new life in his shelter.

However, Su Mo had ended up underestimating his charm.

When he was only about 30m away from the wild feather chickens, the two chickens began running swiftly, as if they had discovered some sort of treasure.

Their goal was not to run away!

Instead, it was to run towards Su Mo!

The wild feather chicken’s large feet gave them the ability to run just as quickly as a teenager. Within three to five seconds, they had arrived at Su Mo’s feet.

Two cute chickens sat down next to each other and gazed expectantly at Su Mo!

“Huh? Has my handsomeness crossed communities? (isn’t that being a little too self-immersed?)”

Su Mo had a confused expression on his face as he wiped his face.

However, when he took another careful look, he noticed that the two wild feather chickens were not looking at his face. Instead, they were looking at the tiny splotches of water on the shirt inside his raincoat.

“Oh? Was it attracted by the psychic energy water?”

Intrigued, Su Mo retrieved a bottle of psychic energy water from his storage space.

He twisted the bottle cap slightly open.

As the smell of the psychic energy water wafted out, the longing in the two wild feather chickens’ eyes grew even more obvious. The pleading look in their eyes was so humane, it hurt to watch.

After giving it some thought, Su Mo retrieved a small piece of wood.

He bent down and poured some of the water from the bottle onto the piece of wood. The two chickens hurried forth and clucked as they drank.

The sweet-tasting psychic energy water caused a blissful smile to appear on the wild feather chicken’s faces.

He poured a little more for them to drink.

Whenever he poured more, the two chickens would lower their heads to peck viciously.

After drinking around 100ml, the two wild feather chickens finally raised their heads and signaled that they were done drinking!

“You don’t have that large of an appetite, but why are you giving me such weird looks!”

When Su Mo twisted the cap back on and placed the bottle of psychic energy water in his storage space, he turned back to the wild feather chickens and was startled to see that the two chickens had a look in their eyes that showed —

Trust?!

Why was it trust?!

Su Mo tried taking two steps forth, and the chickens also took two steps toward him.

Then, Su Mo tried running a few steps forth. The two chickens also ran up to him.

It was just like how you got a pet in an RPG game. The two wild feather chickens had become programmed to automatically follow him after drinking the psychic energy water.

Su Mo circled past the dune and arrived at the front door.

The two wild feather chickens also arrived at the front door with him!

As if they had set their sights on Su Mo and were not the slightest bit afraid he would bring them harm.

“I thought they wouldn’t change their nesting place? Are you sure these aren’t bum beetles that forget their way home once they meet someone new?”

Su Mo did not know if he should laugh or cry as he gazed at his two followers.

He circled back and entered the shelter through the back door. When Su Mo walked in, so did the two wild feather chickens.

Oreo immediately raced to the back door while barking loudly once it caught a whiff of a strange scent.

However, an unrestrained look of excitement appeared on the dog’s face when it saw the two new additions to their team!

“Oh no, will Oreo hurt these chickens by playing with them!”

The look on Oreo’s face was so devilish that Su Mo could not help but recall the times he had seen both small and large dogs toying with chickens in his past life.

As he ruffled Oreo’s hair, Su Mo pretended to be checking if it had any fleas on its stomach.

In truth, he used that opportunity to quickly glance at the lower part of Oreo’s body…

“Ah… Oreo is a girl. I’m not so worried then I guess…”

“Oh? Oreo is a girl?”

Two thoughts surfaced one after the other in Su Mo’s mind.

“No wonder Oreo’s been looking so depressed lately. I heard that girls always have those few days every month where they’re… especially blue…”

“Yep, that’s right!”

Su Mo was in a great mood after finding out the reason behind Oreo’s slump and hurriedly shooed Oreo to sit down in a corner so that their new neighbors would not be frightened.

“You, the one with brighter red hair. Hm, by looking at the shape, I’m going to call you Big Spark.”

“You, the one with lighter hair. Hm, I’ll call you Little Spark.”

After he was done naming the two wild feather chickens of different heights and feather colors, Su Mo took out an extra basin and filled it with psychic energy water before placing it in the crop breeding room that currently took up about 50 square feet of the total space.

When the two wild feather chickens saw the basin of psychic energy water, their eyes widened.

Once Su Mo placed it down in a corner, both Big and Little Spark dashed over and settled down, ready to defend their property to the death.

“Huh, have they decided to nest here now? They’re so easy to fool.”

When Su Mo saw the spark in Oreo’s eyes, he grabbed Oreo by the waist and walked out from the breeding room.

“I’m warning you, Oreo. You can play with Big and Little Spark, but you’re not allowed to bully them!”

“They are the newest members of our base!”

Oreo seemed to grow shy as Su Mo cradled her in his arms.

This was the first time Su Mo had taken her in his arms, and she buried her head into Su Mo’s chest and did not stop wiggling.

Whimpers sounded from her mouth.

“I’m going to assume you’ve agreed. Take care of the house. I’ve got to go out and find ways to take care of you financially!”

After Su Mo took Oreo back to the corner where the kobold was lying, he dusted himself off.

If you wanted to survive in the wasteland, you needed both the capabilities to do so as well as a huge amount of luck.

Just like the acid rain puddle the drains had accidentally created. He had initially thought they would hinder his progress of advancing the base.

Yet, it had ended up bringing him those two wild feather chickens.

Now that the shelter, which had previously only been occupied by one human and one dog, had two new additions to it, Su Mo had a different feeling toward the impending disaster.

He felt much more confident!

“There are 13 days left. No need to panic. As long as no monster comes and attacks me, I’m 70 percent sure I can make it through this disaster…”

“But… that’s not enough!”

“I have to be the champion of all the shelters worldwide and get even more disaster survival points so that I can ensure I’m still ahead of everyone else on the personal leaderboard.”

A determined expression appeared on Su Mo’s face as he ruminated to himself.

Pushing open the shelter’s front door…

The first time.

Su Mo came to the front passageway after the reconstruction.

Right now, the shelter had not yet evolved to the point where the passageway had the resources to form a barbican. However, slots to fire from had already been left in the design.

Through using the left-over light from upgrading the shelter, the game panel had automatically upgraded the exit passageways to be made from stone as well.

Su Mo felt multiple emotions washing over him as he gazed at the tiny firing holes on the walls.

If he had been working alone without the convenience of gaming upgrades, he would never have been able to construct such a building!

This was the culmination of the works of countless humans from countless civilizations.

The forms of aid survival games brought to single players were more than enough for these lone wolves.

After opening the second door, and then the main door on the very outside, a gust of fresh air raced into the tunnel due to the tunnel effect.

After observing the depth of the passageways, Su Mo managed to determine how much the base had sunk during this reconstruction.

“If the base I’d previously lived in was on crown land, then I must have sunk five meters below the crown land this time!”

“And if you add on the height, the shelter must be ten meters below ground!”

Su Mo used his eyes to guesstimate the numbers before shutting the door and walking toward the shrubbery.

He had a tight schedule and could not afford to lose a single second. It was time to begin excavating the sulfur ores nearby!
