Chapter 70: The Idea of Intercepting Kimchi Country to Benefit God Summer

~7 min read 1,287 words

Actually, you don't have to be so pessimistic.

Looking at Ling Xue'er's worried expression, Su Hao curled his right hand into a finger and lightly tapped his thigh.

There should be many people who have awakened a crafting-type talent; as long as we let them become artisans, builders, and the like—extraordinary beings.

While high-tech weapons are still usable, we should produce more, creating weapons and constructions close to extraordinary grade, which would both boost our strength and better handle crises.

That's true, but the formulas and materials for extraordinary-series elixirs aren't something we can just have whenever we want...

Ling Xue'er drooped her head, still wearing a frown-filled, bitter expression.

You know that among God Summer's survivors, fewer than one percent are extraordinary beings, and the formulas for extraordinary-series elixirs are even rarer.

Crafting-type elixir formulas...

Su Hao slightly narrowed his eyes, but didn't say anything more.

In his memory, Kimchi Country obtained many crafting-type elixirs in a single exploration, allowing them to gain a foothold in the apocalypse.

That exploration also caused quite a commotion.

But last time, Su Hao was just an ordinary person, so he wasn't clear on exactly where Kimchi Country got those elixirs.

If we could obtain some of Kimchi Country's movement tracks and combine them with my memories from my previous life, maybe we could seize this thing.

Su Hao doesn't have any fondness for Kimchi Country, but if he could intercept its opportunity and use it to boost God Summer's strength, letting more God Summer people survive, he would gladly make the trip.

Merely wanting to obtain the other side's movement tracks, relying on himself alone obviously won't work; he also needs to cooperate with the God Summer Doomsday Investigation Group, and this matter still needs planning.

Afterward, the two traveled in silence, and the helicopter, after flying for over four hours, landed in an open clearing.

Boss, is this Su Hao the big shot?

Su Hao had just stepped down from the helicopter when he saw four people walk out from the nearby woods.

Seeing that thick layer of blood qi on Su Hao's body, they hastily averted their gazes, and a hint of fear inevitably appeared in their eyes.

Although they didn't know what that blood qi was, it didn't prevent them from sensing a tremendous pressure emanating from it.

Perhaps this is truly a big shot; just the aura on his body makes it impossible to meet his gaze.

Exactly, this is Su Hao the big shot!

Ling Xue'er nodded and introduced them to Su Hao:

Big shot, big shot, they're all my team members; these two warriors in heavy armor are Chen Xi and Chen Bei, this bald one is Sun Wu, an assassin, and this bespectacled little girl is Pu Wenyao, a priest.

I'm not little at all!

The girl with round-frame glasses crossed her arms over her chest, pursed her lips, and muttered softly.

……

Well… to be fair, she can only be considered short; as for being small… that definitely doesn't count.

Su Hao glanced at Pu Wenyao and Ling Xue'er without a trace, and the verdict was immediate!

Figure?

Ling Xue'er is just like Lin Daiyu—there's simply no good or bad about it!

But immediately, Su Hao's brows furrowed slightly.

Chen Xi, Chen Bei, and Sun Wu—Su Hao had seen them several times in Ling Xue'er's sanctuary in his previous life, but he had never seen Pu Wenyao.

As a team member, Pu Wenyao never appeared even once back then, which suggests she was likely already dead at that time.

But in such a small team of Ling Xue'er's, everyone else was fine, yet the priest died—this seems a bit problematic.

However, Su Hao didn't dwell on it; as the saying goes, 'When the sky rains, the mother remarries,' so if he happened to meet her, he might still lend a hand.

As for now…

He just wants to meet his ghostly good brother soon!

If there's nothing else, shall we go?

Okay, big shot.

Ling Xue'er nodded, led Su Hao through a forest, and arrived outside a monastery.

This monastery… feels somewhat familiar.

Looking at the dilapidated monastery not far away, Su Hao's steps paused slightly, and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.

He always felt he had seen this monastery somewhere before, but since he'd never been there in person, he couldn't recall the details; he just vaguely felt it wasn't a good place.

I'm probably overthinking it.

Soon, Su Hao gave a self-deprecating smile and continued following Ling Xue'er and the others into the monastery.

These First Rank extraordinary beings of Ling Xue'er have returned safely from two explorations—what do I have to fear?

Soon, Su Hao followed Ling Xue'er and the others to the front of a tomb.

The tomb had already been dug open, revealing a passage leading underground.

Go!

Ling Xue'er glanced at Pu Wenyao and the others, skillfully took formation, with Chen Xi and Chen Bei standing at the front and rear of the group.

She placed Lin Xue'er, Sun Wu, Pu Wenyao, and Su Hao in the middle of the formation, and they slowly entered the tomb.

At the same time, three people in black robes walked out of the forest outside the monastery, their lips moving slightly as they began to communicate silently.

I don't know how many of them there are, but could they be a match for second-rank undead creatures?

These people are probably the ones who first discovered this place; they surely know about that undead creature, and since they dare to come back, it shows they have some confidence.

Second-rank undead creatures aren't easy to deal with; no matter the outcome, we can just reap the benefits like a fisherman.

Hehehehe!

The three exchanged a glance, using their black robes to conceal their forms and mask their aura, then followed far behind Su Hao and the others as they headed toward the underground tomb.

……

After walking along the underground passage for about five minutes, Su Hao and the others reached the end of the passage, before a vast underground space.

"Wait a moment!"

Just then, Su Hao, looking at the stone door at the end of the passage, shouted to stop the people who were continuing forward.

Amid the crowd's initial doubt and then shock, Su Hao grabbed the stone door, pulled hard outward, and tore it from the wall.

These two stone doors were made from gray rock boulders; they are a first-tier supernatural item, and leaving them here like this is such a waste.

Although Su Hao already has plenty of gray rock boulders at home now, who would complain about having too much of such excellent building material?

Even if Su Hao can't use them himself, they could later be traded, or used to construct buildings for his subordinates, upgrade shelters, and so on.

"If you keep exploring like this in the future, you'll miss out on a lot of good stuff!"

After removing both doors and placing them in his Storage Bag, Su Hao glanced at the bewildered crowd, smiled slightly, and strode into the underground tomb.

"Oh, okay, okay, alright."

At that moment, Ling Xue'er and the others came to their senses one after another and continued walking forward.

Still, they felt somewhat bewildered—this big boss is too ruthless, even tearing away a door…

At the same time, they exchanged glances, all showing a thoughtful expression.

What did the big boss mean by that? Could it be that this stone door is also some kind of good thing?

Later, Su Hao's actions gradually made them understand what he meant, but Su Hao himself wasn't clear on how they figured it out.
