Chapter 712: Su Mo’s Decision, the Beginning of the Chaos! Part 1

Time and space intertwined, and fog spread out.

As the upper right corner countdown ended, a thick cloud engulfed him and returned him to reality. The territory in front of him had vanished.

What was left was the warm sunlight pouring down on him through the windscreen of the climbing car, which made the inside of the vehicle slightly hot.

Everything he saw seemed like an illusion and dream that never happened.

‘I’m back?’

Su Mo rubbed his face and turned to his side, coincidentally meeting the curious eyes of Feng Long, who was leaning against the window.

He pressed a button and opened the car window.

Seeing that Su Mo was still in a daze as if he had not woken up yet, Feng Long scratched his head and said, “Ah, you’re awake, shelter leader? Did I disturb you?

“Well, we’ve already prepared breakfast. Would you like to wash up and eat something before continuing to rest? See, I told you, you must have been exhausted!”

It was rare to see Su Mo’s sleepy and exhausted appearance. Even Feng Tianmin, who was walking past, was also taken aback.

Everyone’s impression of Su Mo was that his energy seemed endless. He was constantly pumped with energy and passion every time they saw him.

When they occasionally met him late at night or early in the morning, Su Mo never showed a hint of exhaustion on his face.

However, things seemed different today.

Feng Long was speaking to Su Mo, who was sitting inside the car, but the latter’s eyes stared blankly ahead. He was obviously not back to his senses yet.

Apparently, he was burnt out!

‘I’m fine!”

Seeing the worried looks of the two people outside the car, Su Mo shook his head and retracted his gaze.

‘Are the murlocs I saw in the last moment the same ones from the murloc army I led in the White Sand Ruins?’

Su Mo was convinced when he first saw them, but after thinking about it over and over again, he did not dare to draw a conclusion just yet.

After all, it would be about a hundred days after they arrived in the New World. It was definitely possible for other foreign races to look similar to murlocs.

Even if it were certain that these murlocs were from the White Sand Ruins, Su Mo would also be 100% vigilant toward them.

Only Su Mo knew what absurd and strange things he had done as the supreme commander of the Deep Sea before he left that continent.

He abolished theocracy and started an industrial revolution!

Countless basic research and blueprints were left behind as well as advanced ideas that had been developed for thousands of years!

These were initially unintentional acts before he left.

Now, they had become the most significant threat!

It would have been difficult for an unintelligible race to understand and convert these advanced things into their strength without researching them for hundreds to thousands of years.

However, these forbidden murlocs of the Deep Sea took his word as the imperial edict, and Su Mo was convinced that it would only take them a few decades to integrate these technologies completely.

‘According to the calculation that one day of the outside world is a hundred days in the Deep Sea World, it has been nearly two months since I left the ruins and if I convert that to the time within the ruins, that would be…

‘6000 days! Nearly 17 years!

‘After developing for such an extended period, they probably constructed those buildings!

‘Could I have accidentally used the Ocean Authority and forcibly dragged them out of the ruins?’

Realizing the imminent trouble, Su Mo zipped up his jacket and got out of the climbing car.

“I’ve got bad news to break to you guys first. There’s been a huge problem in the territory during the week we’ve been gone.

“You two remember the three-story small supermarket that we raided yesterday at noon? There’s a similar one in the territory right now.

“However, according to my investigation just now, its scale is probably hundreds to thousands of times the one we encountered yesterday!”

Boom!

Su Mo used the most prosaic terms to describe a severe problem.

Instantly, Feng Tianmin and Feng Long’s expressions changed dramatically and gradually became serious.

“Feng Long, get the radio and see if we can connect to a signal from the territory!

“Get two people for me as soon as you confirm that you can’t connect to them! I have an urgent order that must be brought back to the territory immediately!”

Feng Long nodded and left hurriedly.

“Feng Tianmin, there might be a change of plans. We might need to increase our pace to Great Mountain. We have to reach the periphery of the center within two days at the latest.

“Not only did a mysterious building appear in the territory, but a group of foreigners also descended. I could not confirm if they were good or had ill intentions, so I’m worried that there will be a change of circumstances if we delay too long!”

Su Mo continued to make arrangements with Feng Tianming.

They were already familiar with climbing the terrains in Great Mountain, and their traveling speed should be improved like last night.

Only by doing so would they be able to match the tense rhythm of the doomsday wasteland!

Su Mo could not be bothered by the dangers and losses that might occur during the journey.

After all, it seemed that the territory had managed to maintain peaceful communication, for the time being, maintaining the balance between both parties.

Otherwise, let alone the time to enter the mountain, they might be too late even if they rushed back straight to the territory.

“Changes would inevitably happen the longer we delay!

“We can only take a week or two at most. By then, if we can’t find out the situation within the mountains, we will have to rush back to the territory as soon as possible.’

“We can’t let anything happen to the territory!”

Su Mo increased his vigilance as he stood at the peak of the seventh mountain of Eight Peak Mountain and watched Feng Tianmin hurry off to make arrangements.

There was a new building and a foreign village, which was not a big deal on the surface.

However, upon deeper thought, it was an extremely strange phenomenon that had occurred in the wasteland.

Somehow, Su Mo could sense that something big was about to happen, far more terrifying than the current disasters.

Yet no matter how hard he thought about it, he could not find any clues and could not figure out where the chaos began brewing.

Under the circumstances, there was no East wind and no ballistic missiles to rely on anymore.

The only option left for Su Mo was to return to the territory as soon as possible.

They had to adhere to their ingenious strategy of building high walls, accumulating food resources, and enough strength to survive the chaos before the outbreak.

When the time came, the territory would be able to resist whatever catastrophe came their way.

‘This is the only way for us to survive in this wasteland!’
