Global Wasteland: Sanctuary of the Immortal Emperor

Chapter 153 Revisiting the World of Zombies
Su Mu's goal is to abandon the shelter.

He is going to seize the time to build an iron ore factory on the abandoned shelter to solve his own iron ingot supply problem in one fell swoop.

After today, it will be the 25th of January in the waste earth calendar.

The fourth red moon will come on January 27 at midnight.

With all his calculations, he only had three days left.

In these three days, he had to build a more solid defense facility than before to have a chance of surviving the red moon.

There is no time left to waste.

"Sleep... just throw it away for now." Su Mu sighed, thinking silently in his heart.

For the last three days, he wasn't going to sleep. Although this would have a certain impact on his mental strength and slow down the recovery of his spirit energy, it was not the time to worry about these things.

If you don't develop as soon as possible, you won't even be able to save your life!

Driving the mobile base vehicle all the way, Su Mu was still studying various defensive facilities that the mobile base could build.

There are three main defense facilities, namely the Light Tower, the machine gun bunker, and the anti-aircraft missile.

The role of the Light Tower is to emit laser light, causing extremely high damage to the enemies hit. The disadvantage is that the firing rate is too slow, and it will be difficult to face a large number of enemies.

The machine gun bunker is exactly the opposite of the advantages and disadvantages of the Guangling Tower. Its attack power is not strong, but its rate of fire is fast enough, and it has a miraculous effect when facing a large number of enemies.

As long as there are enough of these two facilities to defend against the invasion of zombies on the ground, there should be no problem.

Those in the air can be dealt with by anti-aircraft missiles. As for the ones that can penetrate the ground, there is no way to do that. We can only let Reimu take action.

"Let's build ten of them first. In this case, I still have a material gap of 10,000+ units."

While thinking, Su Mu had already arrived near the abandoned shelter.

Regardless of the size of the mobile base vehicle, its speed is not considered slow, even compared with off-road vehicles, it is not too much to give up. In just over ten minutes, it has covered a distance of more than ten kilometers.

Su Mu parked the mobile base vehicle, and then gave the base vehicle a deployment command on the console.

In the next moment, the entire mobile base vehicle turned into a construction factory full of technology like a Transformer.

Five giant robotic arms waved above the factory like octopus tentacles, making the whole factory look like a steel monster ready to go, making people look awe-inspiring.

"Build a mine, and then a coal plant to power the mine..."

Su Mu muttered, editing the corresponding items on the console.

The entire steel monster moved immediately, and the five mechanical arms began to grab the materials scattered around, and started to build the mine facilities.

Su Mu took the opportunity to walk out of the base and checked the remaining materials in the abandoned base.

In addition to the [-] worth of materials obtained through trading during the day, many of them were newly sent by Fuyuan Refuge, which Su Mu already knew from private messages.

These materials are more than enough to build the things he planned, and even the rest can be used to build a machine gun bunker or other facilities.

After setting up the work items for the base, Su Mu ignored it, got on the off-road vehicle, and went to the coal mining area where Lingmeng was located.

Here in the coal mining area, there are still replica magic circles left by the zombies.

By re-engraving the magic circle, he can bring his consciousness to the zombie world.

Yesterday, in the iron mine stronghold occupied by Wang Kang's Refuge, he had already planned a path for his spiritual consciousness, letting him go all the way along the pipeline of the strange ancient town.

Now that a whole day has passed, maybe the spiritual consciousness he left behind has made a new discovery.

Su Mu is not willing to give up the opportunity to spy on information about the zombie world!
After half an hour.

Su Mu has already arrived at his position.

At this time, Lingmeng had controlled a thousand zombies, and was letting these zombies organize the coal mine and prepare to transport it to the abandoned shelter.

Su Mu didn't bother him either, and came to the engraved magic circle, performed the corresponding exercises, and descended his spiritual consciousness into the zombie world.

"here it is……"

After Su Mu's consciousness became clear, he found that he was possessing a mosquito, and his location was not like a wilderness, but like a city.

The city seems to have been abandoned for a long time, with ruins and ruins everywhere, which is not much better than the environment of the strange ancient town.

However, judging from the scale of various architectural ruins, this place was much larger than Weird Ancient Town when it was prosperous.

"This should be the main city of a certain force, right?" Su Mu made a rough judgment on the entire abandoned city while retrieving the memory stored in this copying consciousness.

The aura surged, copying the things recorded by the divine consciousness along the way, and began to transmit them to Su Mu's mind.

Su Mu immediately understood what happened to his copying consciousness during this day and night.

In the first dozen or so hours, nothing special happened. This copying consciousness conscientiously completed the plan he had made in advance, that is, possessing different animals, and then walking along the abandoned palace. Road all the way forward.

In the past ten hours, his copying consciousness has changed a total of more than a dozen animals, as many as six or seven species, such as mosquitoes, flies, butterflies, etc., all of them have been pawned over and over again.

Hard work paid off, when No. 20 possessed animals were exhausted, the copying consciousness finally came to this abandoned city.

When copying the consciousness into the city, according to the mottled stone plaque at the gate, he could roughly recognize the name of this abandoned city - Star City.

In addition to this concise name, the only thing detected by copying the consciousness is that the city is empty, not even a zombie.

Apart from that, there is no other valid information.

Su Mu didn't bother about anything, in order to avoid being noticed by some bigwigs in this world, the energy efficiency of the spiritual consciousness he left behind was very low.

In the case that he does not take the initiative to manipulate, this consciousness has only the independent intelligence of a two- or three-year-old child.

With this level of intelligence, being able to recognize the word "Xingcheng" is not bad, and it is pure fantasy to expect him to search for more effective information.

"Not bad, I'll do the rest myself."

Su Mu controlled the mosquito possessed by his spiritual consciousness and flew for a while, and soon felt that the body's functions were not enough.

In layman's terms, this physical body is about to die from exhaustion.

Helpless, Su Mu could only change another butterfly and continue to fly.

After the city was abandoned, the place was gradually not occupied by all kinds of wild animals. Mosquitoes, flies and other things, looked around, and there were more animals.

Su Mu even found a jackal.

It's a pity that there is not a single humanoid creature.

"The animals here are not infected with the zombie virus... Is it the result of some kind of intentional control?"

After controlling the butterfly to fly into a well-preserved house, Su Mu wandered around the house, and soon found something useful——

A book with yellowed and rotten title pages.

"I can actually understand it." Su Mu marveled.

The text on the book is a kind of oracle bone inscriptions, and he happened to have knowledge about this kind of writing in the memory of his previous life.

According to the memory in his mind, Su Mu translated the meaning of the title of this book - ledger!
After re-observing the furniture display in the entire house, combined with the newly discovered ledger, Su Mu deduced that the house should have been used as a teahouse before the city was abandoned.

"The ledger should have a date record, first confirm the date of the disaster." Su Mu controlled the butterfly's insect feet, which are finer than an embroidery needle, and was going to flip through the dilapidated ledger with a slightly oxidized surface to read the contents.

The date when the ledger is stopped is likely to represent the date when a large-scale disaster that can destroy a city occurs.

Confirming the date of the disaster would be of great help to him inferring the present time!
"...It's really a bit embarrassing."

After trying for 2 minutes, Su Mu was speechless for a long time when he saw the account book that was only turned over by one corner and then quickly closed.

In desperation, he could only use the power of aura.

I hope that this subtle aura fluctuation will not affect the attention of those who are interested.

With a disturbed mood, Su Mu concentrated his mind, formed the aura into an invisible little hand, and successfully turned a page in the ledger.

After opening it, the contents of the ledger began to oxidize rapidly, and soon became somewhat blurred.

Fortunately, Su Mu's memory is amazing. The moment he saw the contents of the ledger, he had already recorded the contents in his mind.

"March 22, the third daughter of the Wang family, buy two cups of Lin tea, six dollars on credit..."

According to the memory in his consciousness, Su Mu successfully translated what he saw.

As expected, it was nonsense to him, the only key date information, and there was no year attached, only an ambiguous date.

This aura seems to be wasted.

"Not to mention the details of the records..."

Su Mu sighed, and suddenly turned his gaze, and noticed a gecko on the wall.

Maybe it was the vision of the ledger suddenly flipping just now. The gecko was startled and ran to check the situation, which was noticed by Su Mu.

If you lose your horse, you will know no blessings.

Although no useful information was obtained from the ledger, this newly discovered gecko gave him more mobility!

Without hesitation, Su Mu's consciousness broke away from the butterfly and rushed into the gecko instead.

The weak spiritual intelligence of the gecko was instantly strangled by his consciousness, and the whole body fell into his hands at once.

Manipulating the gecko to come to the ledger, Su Mu tried to turn over the ledger again.

Needless to say, the strength of a gecko is greater than that of a butterfly, so he opened the ledger with ease, and was able to read the contents carefully.

"On March 42, the Li family bought a cup of Yingcao tea for seven dollars on credit."

"No. 50 in March, Chen's family buys a cup of Cordyceps tea for nine dollars on credit."

"On April [-]st, the Li family repaid the debt for seven qian, and the Zhao family bought a cup of white herbal tea, and paid four qian on credit..."

Looking through the messages one by one, Su Mu found something out of the ordinary.

The first is the format of this date. Every month is actually fifty days long. What's more, every record has a brand new tea product.

Su Mu looked all the way, and found more than a dozen different tea varieties, and these names were very strange, strange looking, and meaningless.

Ordinary people may be at a loss when they discover this, but Su Mu deduced a useful piece of information from this.

The original civilization of this world really had a culture of cultivating immortals. According to his experience, only a world with a culture of cultivating immortals could come up with so many weird names.

"There is a culture of cultivating immortals, which means that technology will definitely be weak. How did the zombie virus appear?" A new question appeared in Su Mu's mind.

There is basically no possibility of coexistence between technology and magic.

On the basis of the previous scientific and technological civilization, after the recovery of spiritual energy, it may be possible to evolve a civilization of cultivating immortals.

But in the case of the civilization of cultivating immortals, it is impossible for this world to evolve a technological civilization.

The reason is very simple. Take the pumping machine as an example. How much knowledge does a technological civilization need to build a machine that can pump oil from scratch?

What mechanics, mechanics, electrical science... there are as many as several disciplines!

After mastering all these, it is possible to manufacture the pumping unit.

In the modern world, under the premise that some people have researched and summarized these subjects, it is so difficult for ordinary people to create a pumping unit, let alone a world without modern civilization?

On the other hand, in the civilization of cultivating immortals, as long as you master the knowledge of cultivating immortals, you can make a magic circle that can completely replace the function of the pumping unit.

Who is more convenient, at a glance!
With such a handy spell, who's hungry enough to study physics or something?
Anyway, Su Mu has never seen a civilization of cultivating immortals that can successfully develop a technological civilization.

In this premise, the problem comes.

Why did the zombie virus appear here and cause the demise of this world?

Zombie virus, not to mention how high-tech it is, is definitely not something that cultivating civilization should have.

This thing appeared here, which is really a bit of a violation.

Even if we take a step back, the zombie virus evolved by accident, but the power of the zombie virus cannot be said to be strong, right?

Even if the virus spreads, powerful cultivators have the ability to clean up the zombies. How could the entire civilization be wiped out by the zombie virus?

No matter how you look at it, this is not reasonable.

"Undecided, quantum mechanics, unexplainable, travel through time and space." Su Mu suddenly realized something.

Is there a possibility that this zombie virus spread from another world?
He can travel here from the wasteland world, so there is no reason, people from other worlds cannot come here, so it seems not surprising that there are some zombie viruses.

"This zombie force, is it stronger than I imagined...?"

Vaguely, Su Mu seemed to have some clues, but he was not particularly sure.
