My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!

The simple stone houses.

The wooden bed and table were slightly eye-catching.

The various piles of junk.

All these were not enough to instantly grab Su Mo's attention and make him curious.

However…

'This thing looks so familiar. I must have seen it somewhere before!'

Su Mo glanced at the object under the bed and identified its general shape. He tried to use the system to analyze it but was denied because the object's ownership was not his.

He put down the bed sheets and sat on the edge of the bed, thinking carefully about what it could be.

'This thing is definitely something not highly valued.

'Otherwise, Feng Mengyue and the others who aren't fools wouldn't leave it here, risking the possibility of it being taken by others no matter how bold they were,' thought Su Mo.

It was extremely impolite and disrespectful of him to flip through the items in another person's room without permission.

Thus, for the time being, Su Mo could only search for clues in his memory.

The appearance of the item was very simple. It was a small golden disc with very average quality and was one-sixth the size of a palm.

The erosion over time had covered the surface of the disc with a layer of rust, hiding the originally dense pattern below it.

Even the possibly dazzling golden color of the item in its prime had faded into a bronze color and was slightly tarnished by a blackish mud.

'This pattern…'

Su Mo ruled out the familiarity of the shape of the disc itself and focused his attention on the pattern.

After comparing it to some of the more unique things in his memory, the answer slowly surfaced in his mind.

'It's a pocket watch!

'The pattern on this thing is almost identical to the pattern engraved on the exterior of that pocket watch I saw!'

Inside the Divulgence of Heaven's Secret, Su Mo had carefully observed the old-fashioned pocket watch strapped to the mysterious man's feet more than once.

He had seen the internal composition, appearance, pattern, and artistry. Su Mo was confident that he could clearly identify it.

The moment he saw the familiar pattern, he could easily match it to the one in his memory!

…

Su Mo's line of sight turned to the outside.

The Mountain Moon Territory that was deserted in the past had finally ushered in an exciting atmosphere after a long absence!

Several days of heavy snow in the mountain had annihilated all traces within Great Mountain.

Each territory was also blocked off by the snow and had no way of communication with each other.

Unlike the basin, which still had great daily demands, so all the villagers were busy every day and had ongoing work to earn resources….

The economic structure of Mountain Moon was relatively simple, to the point where they could be easily defeated by an external force with abundant resources in a blink of an eye.

The reason was that their domestic demand had already ended after the housing construction was completed.

Additionally, they had no scientific researchers and no threats that would invade at any time. The technology tree in the entire territory was extremely slow and could be considered to have zero development.

Almost everyone focused on researching more powerful weapons, and no one paid attention to people's livelihoods and the basic needs of all refugees.

Another reason was that there were no enemies around.

After surviving the tense early stage, not only did all the refugees gradually lose their fighting spirit, even the lord Feng Mengyue was somewhat content with the current situation.

Anxiety pushed development forward, whereas being content could cause the fall of a whole society.

They had no clue how to develop as they grew more prominent in quantity.

The final reason was the restrictions caused by the topography of Mountain Moon's territory.

They could not plant anything and had no stable source of crops, causing everyone to worry about how they would get through the food shortage after they had exhausted their current food resources.

Without any minerals, the only thing they were left with was worthless rocks that had no trade value at all.

The mountain road was difficult to travel, and caravans from the outside would only come every one or two weeks when it was not snowing and were nowhere to be seen if it was snowing.

These three points were enough to leave them in a tough situation.

It was easy to understand why they were so excited to see outsiders near their territory.

"Brother, there seems to be something really strange about this territory. Just look at the way they are staring at us…

"Our territory lord is an acquaintance of theirs. Our shelter leader would definitely find it hard to decline them if they insist on following us!"

The two brothers sat on the stone and rested at the entrance of Mountain Moon Village with their equipment.

Feng Long complained to Feng Tianmin, who was beside him as he cautiously watched the refugees in the distance.

It would be reasonable if these people showed curiosity toward outsiders.

After all, if a group of people suddenly came to their territory, all the villagers would react the same way.

However, this was precisely why he found it weird.

After seeing all the soldiers, these refugees from Mountain Moon showed not curiosity but undisguised, scorching excitement upon seeing them.

It was like a treasure hunter finding treasure or starved people seeing delicious food after so long.

Their gazes were terrifying.
