My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!

Chapter 169: Upsurge Of Temperature, Rising To Rank One

Rows upon rows of bullets were arranged in the collection bucket. Su Mo took one out and, under the light, he could see the serial number on the bullet.

SM-5.56-2058.

This was the mark that the laser manufacturing machine automatically added when manufacturing bullets, and it was also a symbol of the “strength” of automation.

If anyone got their hands on this bullet, they would know immediately by observing the serial number that it was not obtained from a treasure chest, but manufactured by a machine.

The neat bullets were engraved with steel patterns according to the arrangement of the numbers.

Su Mo removed 40 bullets and took out the M-1 automatic rifle from the storage space, which had been manufactured but had not been loaded with bullets yet.

It was his first time loading an automatic rifle. Using his experience in loading pistols, Su Mo quickly completed loading the magazine.

Click!

The magazine was pushed into the rifle.

With the rifle on his shoulder, Su Mo, who was surging with pride, stepped forward to the garage gate on the first floor. After looking around, he found a wild wolf staring at Big Spark and Little Spark from a distance.

This kind of wild wolf was clearly described in the monster illustration handbook. They had strengthened cold resistance and a heightened sense of smell. They were the natural enemy of herbivores and had a natural fear of medium and large enemies.

Looking at the location where the four wild wolves were hiding, Su Mo warmed up his body that was covered by a cotton jacket and picked up the automatic rifle.

The most important thing for novices when shooting from a standing posture was relaxation.

Everyone had their own preferred shooting posture, which would differ according to the situation.

In actual combat, it would not be like the scenes in movies or TV series where everyone had the exact same posture when holding a gun. In real situations and actual combat, except for strictly trained honor guards, all kinds of strange shooting postures would appear.

For example, in Su Mo’s current posture, he cradled the heel of the gun between his shoulder joint to fix it in place and ensure that it would not shake.

The next second, as the wild wolf in the distance came into view again, his quick reflexes and growing physical fitness made Su Mo instinctively raise the gun and turn off the safety.

The heel of the gun was wedged between his body and shoulder, and his cheeks were pressed closely against the gun; eyes aligned with the muzzle of the gun. Aiming at the still bewildered wolf, Su Mo quickly pulled the trigger.

Tat tat tat!

Using the rifle for the first time was undoubtedly more terrifying compared with using a pistol; the recoil was incomparable. The three simultaneous shots pushed the gun back and caused pain in Su Mo’s shoulder, and he also had temporary tinnitus in his ears.

The rumbling sound was like a heavy blow to the head. Su Mo, who had not yet acclimatized to this feeling, almost fell to the ground.

“My goodness, the scenes in the TV series are all a lie. The recoil of the rifle is quite scary.”

While looking at the wolf lying on the ground in the distance, Su Mo rubbed his aching shoulder and walked over.

He used his shoulders to resist the recoil effect and did not take the initiative to push back and continue firing, resulting in highly accurate shots.

The leading wolf among the four wild wolves had been pierced by three bullets. The 5.56mm lead bullet immediately burst into the wild wolf’s body with great power.

Striking red blood spewed from the wolf’s body that dyed the surrounding snow red.

Su Mo looked around for a moment before turning the wolf over, carefully examining the spot where the bullet landed.

Of the three bullets, only one accurately hit the wolf’s abdomen.

This bullet formed a big trumpet-shaped hole at the point of impact.

“Sss… such terrifying damage! As long as the accuracy is guaranteed, a single bullet would be enough to take the life of an enemy!”

Looking at the wound, Su Mo was surprised.

During the period when bullets were being rapidly developed, the military deliberately enhanced the deformability factor of bullets.

For example, they used lead, which easily deformed, to cast the core of the bullets, and then coated it with a thin layer of copper, which would ensure that the bullet’s flight trajectory remained accurate. After hitting the human body, the copper coating and lead core would instantly deform.

It was like putting a mass of mud on the wall, which instantly increased its surface area. All the kinetic energy of the bullet would be poured into the human body, increasing its lethal force.

Even if an unimportant body part was hit, this type of production method made the damage caused by the resulting bullet cavity, from the impact, sufficiently deadly.

Using his previous experience as the basis, this time, Su Mo practiced on the remaining three wild wolves, using up all the remaining bullets.

Of the three shooting modes, firing a single shot was the most stable and suitable for long-range shooting, continuous instantaneous firing was suited to close combat and suppression, and the three-burst shot was suitable for dealing with fast-moving targets.

“Rather than single shots, I would use a crossbow for sneak attacks or assassinations. The automatic mode is the best and gets your blood boiling, though the price of these bullets are still very expensive.”

Smacking his lips, Su Mo put the automatic rifle back into the storage space and looked at the few wild wolves lying on the ground. He did not consider taking them back, so he found a low-lying spot, and threw them straight down; their flesh and blood would be used to fertilize the land.

It seemed that as more time passed on the wasteland, the lower the rate of treasure chests emerging was, especially from these ordinary mutant creatures. Hunting these four wild wolves did not yield even a single treasure chest.

“Kobolds, after this winter is over, we can finally end our grievances!”

Back in front of the base, looking at Oreo who was still in a coma in her nest, Su Mo felt the wind gradually pick up as darkness set over the land. He looked toward the direction of the kobold castle, his eyes full of killing intent.

With guns and ammunition, it was only a matter of time before he got rid of the kobolds.

Su Mo resisted the idea of attacking during the disaster, despite the allure of the thousands of kobolds in the castle and the treasure chests they represented..

He waited approximately another two hours and, when he felt the wind speed reach level 9, he picked up Oreo and carried her back into the garage.

Fortunately, the time he spent waiting that day was not in vain. At least when he touched her head, Oreo was already showing signs of awakening.

Moving Oreo’s nest back to the first floor, Su Mo opened her mouth and poured some crumbled pancakes and psychic energy water. Su Mo safely closed the stone door and returned to the second floor of the shelter.

“It seems that Oreo’s awakening will take another day to complete. Fortunately, nothing has happened recently, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to take care of her if I had to go out!”

It had been a cold day, and Big Spark and Little Spark were looking weak. They drank some psychic energy water and went off to lay motionlessly on the sofa.

Looking at the two of them, Su Mo was not too worried. He went over to the energy distribution room to adjust the power supply.

The increase in power was accompanied by even louder noises from the generators.

The machine was still working at this time, importing the design blueprints for the explosives and RPG. There were no raw materials for the time being for the RPG and it could not be built. However, the simplest explosives could still be produced in batches.

Excellent-quality explosives would be both powerful and stable at the same time, not to mention much neater than handmade ones.

Su Mo waited until the picric acid produced during the daytime was assembled, generating 30 neat bags of explosives, then he stopped his busy schedule.

Back in the living room, and lying on the soft sofa, he felt his body had begun to lose heat after taking off the combat uniform. Su Mo’s eyes turned to the external unit of the air conditioner… and the electromagnetic cooking equipment he bought!

In the secret trading realm, he had acquired two induction cookers, which were still intact.

“Oh, these people are all impatient. That’s it?”

At night, when the storm picked up, the temperature in the No. 1 shelter in the disaster resistance live broadcast room had reached 7 degrees.

The remaining live broadcast rooms kept their temperatures between 3-5 degrees, and the temperature in the remaining live broadcast room was only a pitiful 1 degree.

Were it not for the one hour refresh period to record the temperature readings, these people might end up off the list before long.

Standing up, Su Mo first used the abundant wood in the shelter to create a TV cabinet in the living room according to the furniture style given in the previous design blueprint, and then moved the LCD TV over.

After thinking about it, he made another set of dining table stools along the way and placed them in the middle.

After many days of manufacturing, Su Mo’s production speed was very quick. In addition, there was no need for polishing and design considerations. In just half an hour, the empty living room was furnished.

After carefully cleaning the electromagnetic cooker and confirming that there was no problem, Su Mo drew out half a bucket of psychic energy water and set it aside.

The tomatoes in the culture medium were not ripe yet, but the harvest period for the Chinese cabbage was about right.

He took three Chinese cabbages and three heads of garlic, and placed them in the ingredient box he carried in his arms. Su Mo then walked over to the freezer.

The beef, mutton, and fish meat received from the treasure chests were frozen in the freezer and still very fresh when taken out.

Putting the meat into the ingredient box as well, Su Mo picked out another pound of mangoes and a pound of apples with it.

He picked up the remaining dried noodles and the three bottles of Wanglaoji tea drinks and placed the ingredient box in front of the dining table on the third floor. Su Mo then came to the air conditioner.

In such terrible weather, Su Mo was a little worried when he turned on the air conditioner for the first time but, when he thought about the attributes of the external unit, he decisively turned on the switch.

Woo~ woo~

He adjusted the mode to heating with a temperature of 24 degrees, and the power rating of 2400W was selected. The air conditioner began to rumble slowly, making a harsh whining sound.

The slender air-conditioning duct that was connected to the external unit started to operate, and a burst of fiery red light suddenly passed down from the duct and connected to the main unit.

[Record]: Your equipment has gained a new attribute (temporary). Please check it.

This red light was very peculiar and, even though there was no LED light on the surface of the body, it continued to emit light.

When Su Mo ran his hand over the main unit, an illusory attribute panel popped out.

[All-weather “combat” external unit (Currently working)]

[Description: The Tian Er Air Conditioner has a “combative” external unit. The harsher the environment, the more it stimulates the fighting spirit of the external unit and creates special effects. Please check the specific effects out personally.]

[Function]:

[Storm (Temporary): The external unit felt the presence of a life-threatening storm, which stimulated a little fighting spirit and created the perseverance effect.]

[Low temperature (Temporary): The external unit heeded the main unit’s call, and created the rapid heating effect.]

[Special Ability]:

[Perseverance: Without external interference, it will never be damaged by the storm.]

[Rapid heating: When the set temperature is lower than 24 degrees, it will temporarily operate at 300% power. The power consumption will increase by 300% accordingly.]

“My goodness, this is an air conditioner? It’s more like a combat tool!”

According to the current 2400W energy consumption of the air conditioner, as long as the heating was turned on, the consumption would reach 7200W in an instant.

Such a terrifying power consumption, it was simply a luxury and a waste to use on an air conditioner.

After trying to adjust the power consumption down to 1000W, Su Mo turned on the heating function again, and the power consumption soared to 3000W in an instant and, at the same time, a hot wind began to blow forth.

-7…

-3…

-1…

2!

In just two to three minutes, the overall temperature in the shelter directly rose to 2 degrees, and it was still rising.

This feeling was more obvious when he was on the third floor of the Underground Shelter. The temporary hot wind gave off a feeling as if summer had returned.

He tried to open the disaster resistance live broadcast page and, as expected, a prompt appeared:

[Record]: Congratulations to the player Su Mo. It has been detected that your shelter is currently the world’s No. 1 in disaster resistance. Would you like to disclose the ranking data and activate the live broadcast of the shelter’s disaster resistance?

[Record]: Please note that turning on the live broadcast will not broadcast the interior of the shelter. It will open a surround-style live broadcast over the shelter, and only allow other players to observe the buildings on the ground!

[Record]: If the time accumulated on the list is more than 12 hours, or the number of viewers reaches 5 hundred million, and if you have successfully survived the disaster, you would receive a random survival airdrop *1.

[Record]: Would you like to start the live broadcast?
