Chapter 199: Shocking! The Rumored “Su Mo”
“Brother Shen, is… is Almighty Su the same as the rumors? Does he kill without blinking and does his body tremble with excitement when he smells blood? Every day before going to bed, does he has to slaughter more than a dozen foreign races before being able to sleep peacefully at night?”
“Chen Shen, he… this Su Mo, I heard that he did that for living on Earth… that he was a super killer who took on bounties, and that the person who was targeted would definitely die!”
“Yes, he is also an almighty soldier. He can operate a guided missile launcher, he can shoot ten rings with his eyes closed, and he is also a super gardener. I heard that he’s Yuan Longping’s pupil. He can drive any sort of vehicle, penetrate walls, fly, dig through the ground, and manipulate bugs!”
“What all of you are talking about, Almighty Su is the Dragon King! He is the only Dragon King of Huaxia. With a single order, thousands of soldiers would be called to quell all the dissatisfied mythical races in just one day…”
“Su Mo is a werewolf, he will transform into a wolf king under the full moon, and all foreign races must bow their heads as his courtiers.”
“Stop talking nonsense, in my opinion, Almighty Su is Pangu, since the beginning of the world…”
“Big brother Su is here!”
As time passed in front of the shelter, no one dared to disclose the news of Su Mo’s collaboration under the strict regulations of the four prison guards, the group of brothers, and Zhong Qingshu.
However, at the same time, when the world’s first person was just next to their shelter and was about to come over to seek cooperation, the crowd was simultaneously surprised and panicked.
What was pleasantly surprising to them was that, as long as they could latch on to Su Mo’s “spaceship” from the rumors, even a fool could traverse the universe and create a bright future.
What left them panicking was that news about Su Mo on the World Channel was simply too scary. Especially because everyone heard and saw were all different because of the intelligent screening function of the game panel.
All kinds of weird, and apparently problematic, news about Su Mo’s various actions and exploits seemed to have become the norm.
However, accompanying the announcement that “Big Brother Su is here” from Chen Shen, all the refugees shut their mouths in a flash and, with awe in their eyes, they stared at the “behemoth” that appeared on the horizon!
Regardless of what the rumors had described Su Mo as, or what terrifying exploits he had achieved, those were all merely words.
At this moment, the words they have read and heard transformed into something that could be seen with their own two eyes, and the resulting shock was even more exaggerated!
“An excavator… it truly is an excavator. In addition, it’s a medium-large excavator, but this speed…”
Amidst the crowd, an old man stood up involuntarily with a shocked expression on his face. He looked at the excavator running across the wasteland at a speed of close to forty-five kilometers per hour.
“This excavator’s speed is even faster than a car. Can this even be called an excavator? Am I seeing things correctly?”
As the old man stood up, two more middle-aged persons came out and stared at the excavator. Their jaws were about to fall to the ground!
Looking at the other persons’ puzzled eyes, the three of them started to discuss their observations heatedly.
More than ten seconds later, everyone knew the difference between the normal speed of an excavator and the current speed at which Su Mo’s excavator was approaching. This time, the eyes of everyone in the crowd, including the four prison guards, were tinged with an indescribable sense of “awe”!
…
“O! RE! O! Later, when you get out of the bucket, stand guard at the side. Try not to let these people notice your trail!”
Seeing that he was approaching the shelter, Su Mo opened the window and shouted out his instructions.
After receiving the news, Oreo nodded slyly. As Su Mo slowed down, she jumped down from the bucket and quickly disappeared amidst the snow.
“Hehe, so obedient!”
Su Mo watched as Oreo made a vigilant posture in the distance. After she lowered her head and disappeared into the snow, Su Mo’s heart jumped and he quickly adjusted his condition.
The smile on his face quickly transformed into his iconic cold expression in just a few breaths of time.
His originally non-aggressive body posture tightened up instantly. Like a cheetah ready to pounce, an unspeakably horrific aura was quickly spreading.
Su Mo increased the excavator’s speed to the maximum, squeezing the two gear levers. Looking at the people who greeted it, King Kong roared along the way.
Da da!
Da da!
The chain tracks ran over the heavy ice and snow, and there was a loud noise coming that echoed like background music heralding the scene of his arrival. When Su Mo stopped the vehicle and alighted with the M-1 rifle in hand, everyone below looked at the charming curves of King Kong foolishly.
“Big brother Su, You are finally here! Brother Su, we missed you so much!”
The others who did not know Su Mo’s character did not dare to come into contact with him. However, the several Huaxians who followed Su Mo to the kobold castle came up enthusiastically at this time.
Alongside them, Chen Shen also walked up. Lowering his body slightly, he stood by Su Mo respectfully and began to report the situation.
“Brother Su, these are all the people in the Candlelight Shelter. Including us, there are a total of 124 people.”
“The oldest is 51 years old, and the youngest is 17 years old. Among us, there are 37 men and 87 women.”
“Among all the men, there are three who can operate excavators. One of them is a master who has been operating it for almost ten years. The other two are not bad either, and they are all good helping hands on the construction site.”
“Regarding the rest of the women, Brother Su, you don’t have to worry. They are very motivated. Except for the fact that everyone has been hungry for many days and has very little energy, I can vouch for them in all other aspects!”
Chen Shen was worthy of his name. In terms of statistical reporting, he was quite detailed and clear.
At the same time, the simple report also gave Su Mo a preliminary understanding of the crowd in front of him.
“Where are the prison guards? Who are the four?”
With a cough, Chen Shen’s heart felt numb looking at Su Mo’s cold eyes, and he quickly pointed at the four men standing in front of the crowd.
The four prison guards, all of them did not seem to be young.
Judging from their faces, the youngest was someone about thirty-five years old, maybe even a little older.
The four of them looked righteous, and all of them looked at Su Mo. Although their scalps were numb, they were still able to withstand the pressure in their hearts to barely raise their heads and “look up”.
‘Such… such a strong aura of oppression!’
In the three seconds when their eyes met, it was either that the cold rifle in Su Mo’s hands, or Su Mo’s eyes that were without a trace of emotion, that terrified them. When Su Mo looked away, the guard on the far left already had sweat rolling off his forehead.
“Very good. Can I have an introduction?”
After making sure that every prison guard was given the “killer stare”, and no one dared to confront him, Su Mo’s temperament turned friendly, as he smiled and patted Chen Shen on the shoulder. The cold image on his face disappeared.
Hearing Su Mo’s words, the tense atmosphere suddenly loosened, and the people next to them who did not dare to make any noises began to speak smilingly.
“This is the hunting captain of the Candlelight Shelter, Qi Qin. Yes, his name is the same as the singer. Captain Qi’s martial arts are very amazing. He once faced three lion people evenly. He is the number one in terms of individual combat power in our shelter!”
Hearing Chen Shen’s praise, the guard on the far left, who was called Qi Qin, smiled awkwardly and greeted him.
“I’m overwhelmed by such praise. To see Almighty Su today, I learned that there are higher mountains beyond the mountain, and that there are always better people. I’m Qi Qin, I am willing to follow the command of Almighty Su and join the battle to protect humankind!”
The eye contact just now, the slight adjustment of muscles, and the change in combat posture, made Qi Qin fully aware of what a “master” truly was.
From his experience in the army, only a few soldiers could emit such terrifying pressure on others during the combined martial arts contests.
After experiencing it from the young Su Mo, Qi Qin immediately put away his pride and became the first person to swear allegiance in the Candlelight Shelter.
With Qi Qin taking the lead, the two on the left and the far right followed suit. Before Chen Shen could introduce them, they stepped out and started talking, “Hello, Almighty Su. I am Hong Kangcheng. I lived in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, 49 this year… I used to be a soldier, and then I was made the team leader of a security company for a while. I am currently the resource supervisor of the Candlelight Shelter and am mainly responsible for the matters regarding food in the shelter.”
“However, I’m quite useless as the supervisor. Everyone not eating well or dressed well, as they only receive one meal of porridge daily. It’s been only twenty days and everyone is already starving like this. I’m embarrassed that Almighty Su has to see this.”
This man on the far right was the oldest among the four and seemed to be the most reliable but, according to his speech, in Su Mo’s heart, he had been labeled as an “honest person”.
From the address of his home to his age, he also mentioned that there were still a few people left in his home as if it was a common chat about home. It was not until the man on the left coughed that Hong Kangcheng realized and laughed embarrassedly. Under Su Mo’s kind gaze, he retreated.
“Hello, Almighty Su. I am Pei Shao. I am currently the farming supervisor of the Candlelight Shelter. Yes, it is okay if you find it funny; this position was just assigned.”
“Our life is bitter, and though we are obviously sitting on a fertile plain, there is no way to effectively open up this land.”
“If it weren’t for you, after today, I would go down and conscientiously want to use this unlucky soul to apologize to those who have high hopes for me! Thank you for coming to the Candlelight Shelter today to rescue these poor people. Since you came to the Candlelight Shelter, if it is your order, I, Pei Shao, will be the first to rush to the forefront!”
The words of the three of them were more ruthless than the other; it may be that all their edges and corners had been polished off during the civilized era. In the face of Su Mo’s unquestionable strength, each of them spoke straightforwardly without beating around the bush.
After the introductions, seeing the three colleagues “surrender” one by one, the man standing in the middle had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk out.
His age was the youngest among the four and, at the same time, in terms of status, he was the strongest.
“Hello, Almighty Su. I am Wu Feiguang. As a Huaxian, your great name has been like a clap of thunder to one’s ear, and now it is even more convincing to see you in person.”
“The Candlelight Shelter was established on the third day of the Doomsday calendar. It lasted 24 days. It grew from nothing and developed to more than 100 people. As the head of the shelter, Feiguang can only watch as everyone starves every day and night! After this disaster is over, it will be hard for us to overcome the next disaster!”
After he spoke, Wu Feiguang was frank and simply brought out the illusory image of his shelter’s core. At the same time, he took out a piece of talisman paper, lowered his head, and spoke respectfully, “I hereby request Almighty Su to take charge of the Candlelight Shelter!”
“We implore Almighty Su to become the host of the shelter!” After Wu Feiguang finished speaking, the other people gradually realized what was going on and immediately repeated Feiguang’s words in unison with surprise etched on their faces.
Hundreds of people yelled at the same time, forming a grand scene. However, after hearing Wu Feiguang’s words, Su Mo frowned and observantly captured the information revealed in Wu Feiguang’s words.
“So, in saying this, you are aware of what the next disaster will be?”
