Ss!

Seeing Zhong Qingshu’s extremely firm expression, Su Mo unconsciously took a small step back.

‘To jump down from this height… Isn’t this equivalent to eating arsenic on your birthday? Does she not want to live anymore?’

“Don’t be confused by the illusion in front of you. The first time I descended slowly down that cliff path. When I did, I found out that there is a second world here!”

“By the way, do you know why the name of the shelter is called Candlelight?”

Looking at the direction indicated on the compass, Zhong Qingshu moved forward slowly, leaning toward the position pointed by the pointer, and whispered to herself.

“The abyss is a candle, and we are the flames. Only by jumping down can we light up this dark abyss and reach the other shore of salvation!”

Slowly exhaling, she examined the compass’s direction again and took one step forward before turning around. After taking another two steps backward and facing forward again, Zhong Qingshu stopped and motioned for Su Mo to come over and observe.

“This is the only point. After jumping down, we have to pass through this entrance to reach the entrance to the ruins of time. After entering through the entrance, you will obtain the time currency after completing the task...”

“Do you dare to enter?”

Standing in front of the empty abyss, the words uttered by Zhong Qingshu bounced off the walls of the cliff continuously, transforming into a long echo.

“How did you find out this information?”

Looking at Su Mo’s cautious expression, Zhong Qingshu chuckled and did not answer this question. To Su Mo’s consternation, she waved her hand freely...

She actually...

Jumped!

“Hey!!!”

The darkness underneath swallowed her so fast that Su Mo did not have time to see exactly where Zhong Qingshu was going. The black mist covering the abyss once again permeated the space.

Su Mo summoned the game panel and quickly tapped onto his friends’ list, staring at the small green dot in front of Zhong Qingshu’s name.

As long as the green dot was lit up, it meant that the person was still alive.

Once the green dot turned gray, it would mean that that life had come to an end, and the person would vanish into eternal nothingness.

One minute passed.

Five minutes passed.

Even once ten minutes passed, Su Mo’s firm heart was still shaken when he noticed that Zhong Qingshu’s green dot was lit up.

“Could it be that this is truly the entrance? Otherwise Zhong Qingshu would have had no reason to be so courageous!”

After looking at it again, making sure that Zhong Qingshu’s green dot was still lit up, Su Mo pulled Moore and Oreo over.

“Oreo, is there any danger below?”

Although Oreo’s active skill to detect danger had become a passive skill, its power had not decreased but rather increased; transforming into a detection skill that worked under any circumstances.

Looking into the abyss, Oreo shook her head suspiciously, indicating that she did not feel any sense of danger.

Looking at Oreo’s behavior, Su Mo steeled himself!

“When we jump down later, you two hold on to me tightly. Be careful not to let go!”

Seeing the two nod in affirmation, Su Mo’s was determined. Grabbing Oreo and Moore, he jumped off the cliff into the darkness.

The howling sharp wind.

The beating sound of their hearts.

The whirring sound created as they passed through the air.

There were countless sounds echoing all around them. At the same time, before Su Mo could thoroughly examine this unprecedented experience...

His feet touched the land!

After jumping off the cliff, they seemed to arrive in a completely different world.

Here, there were birds and flowers, and a few butterflies were flying over the flower fields, chasing the little bees in front of them.

There were gurgling streams, winding along the ground, providing moisture to every flower that was blooming beautifully.

However, when Su Mo looked at them carefully, all these sights disappeared altogether.

Instead of the flowers, he saw Zhong Qingshu, who had jumped down earlier, standing in the distance with a smile on her face.

Although the high platform had lost its illusion, it still maintained the same shape as the dark abyss above.

However, the biggest difference between the two was that this place was bright!

Including the cracks on the cliffs down the canyon, standing atop this platform, Su Mo could see things clearly.

“Amazing isn’t it? When I first came in, I was really scared too!”

After saying this, Zhong Qingshu shook her head in resignation.

“You can open the game panel and see what the notification prompt says now.”

“Notification prompt?”

Hearing Zhong Qingshu’s words, Su Mo was puzzled. He focused and summoned the game panel.

The next second, the light of the game panel automatically lit up, like Zhong Qingshu had said, a notification prompt had appeared on it.

[Record]: Player “Su Mo” entered ??? ruins.

[Record]: The ruins here block all game panel functions except the storage space, so please explore carefully.

“Huh, the ruins don’t have a corresponding logo on the game panel?”

With all the game functions blocked, while Zhong Qingshu was looking elsewhere, Su Mo took the opportunity to summon the system panel, which quietly emerged.

‘Fortunately, my system is not blocked.’

Looking at the colorful functions of the system, as well as the stash of over ten thousand survival points remaining, the panic of having suddenly arrived at the strange ruins subsided significantly.

Both of them looked around and, after repeatedly searching the area for a few minutes, the two returned to the center of the platform.

“I was lucky to be able to enter this place last time. This time I entered using this compass, so it was not a problem, but there’s no way to find the next entrance.”

After she finished, Zhong Qingshu handed over the compass in her hand.

The compass that was originally steadily pointing in one direction steadily had been damaged; its brass pin had been twisted and its interior had become a mess.

Looking at it, he knew that he needed to find a way to repair the compass, and that it would take more effort than it did to enter the place where they were standing!

So, this was the problem. Zhong Qingshu could only bring him up to this point in the mysterious ruins. Regarding the problem of getting further, both of them have to explore and see if luck was on their side.

Of course, if they could not get further inside, there was nothing to be worried about. They would be thrown out by the ruins when the time came.

‘This isn’t the correct line of thinking. Since this compass can guide the way, do I have any objects that can locate the entrance to the next level?’

Staring at the broken compass, Su Mo’s mind worked rapidly.

Summoning the storage space, he began to quickly search the pile of miscellaneous items to see if any objects could potentially help him locate the next entrance.

In the pile of miscellaneous items, he had arranged the items from most valuable to least valuable.

Stealing the Day, Changing the Light… Nope!

Mountain and Sea Painting Scroll… Did not work!

Even the Divulgence of Heaven’s Secrets… did not work!

All the objects were mentally examined by Su Mo and thrown aside one by one. Soon, there were only a few objects remaining.

Suddenly... In the corner, Su Mo spotted an object he had obtained, but not tried out yet...

The versatile key!

This key could unlock all kinds of levels and doors, as long as the place was unowned.

According to this description, the entrance of the ruins could possibly be categorized as a level.

“If it works, exchanging a single use for the opportunity to enter the ruins of time would be a big gain!”

Without waiting any longer, Su Mo went over to the platform and retrieved the versatile key from his storage space.

The brass key looked ordinary and unattractive but, as Su Mo placed it against the inner wall, something magical happened!

In clear view, the key turned into a puddle of yellow water, and was suddenly sucked into the wall, disappearing.

Then, a mysterious yellow door appeared out of thin air on the platform.

Dong!

A dull sound reverberated across the platform and, as it echoed across the valley, it seemed to herald the opening of a world!

Zhong Qingshu, who was still examining the ground further away, turned around in shock.

In front of her eyes, the brass-colored door suddenly opened, revealing a world that exuded endless white light.

“The... the ruins directly opened?”

Zhong Qingshu looked dazed and Su Mo, who had used the key, was also a little stunned.

After all, this was the first time Su Mo had used this kind of key. It was also the first time he had seen such a strange scene.

Shaking his head to express that he was not clear with the situation, Su Mo saw Oreo nodding quietly at the side. With a heavy heart, the M-1 automatic rifle appeared in Su Mo’s hand.

“There’s not enough time. If I don’t enter now, we’ll have to wait until god knows when.”

“I will go in with them. You stay here and wait for me. If time runs out and you are thrown out, it doesn’t matter. I will be back on time!”

Su Mo quickly gave her a few instructions. Watching Zhong Qingshu nod in affirmation, Su Mo no longer hesitated. He instructed Moore to carry Oreo while he held Moore himself. The three of them flashed into the door of light.

After they left, calm was restored on the large platform again. The brass door closed with a snap, slowly disappearing between heaven and earth.

On the big platform, Zhong Qingshu was left dazed.

...

[Record]: You have entered ??? duplication. The duration of the current duplication would last for ???. The exit method of the current duplication: Death or completion of the mission!

[Record]: An unknown device is detected and is requesting a connection. Would you like to accept the connection?

As soon as he stepped into the door of light, a world full of yellow sand appeared before him.

Looking at the familiar sights around him, he noticed that Moore and Oreo had disappeared. Su Mo was stunned.

“Am I back at the Underground Shelter?”

Su Mo was naturally familiar with the basin that he had been living in for a month.

He even recalled the placement of the stones near the Underground Shelter very clearly.

Aside from the fact that the high slope, created by upgrading the Underground Shelter multiple times, no longer existed, it was no different from when he first arrived in the doomsday wasteland.

In addition, the book that appeared next to him also corroborated Su Mo’s evaluation.

“The duplication wants me to start from scratch?”

Su Mo tried to summon the system. Seeing that there were still tens of thousands of survival points in the system panel and the rifle was still slung over his body, Su Mo picked up the book.

Familiar introductions and familiar rules; after flipping through the book, just like it did before, it transformed into a turtle armor that would construct the shelter.

Except for the fact that Su Mo had changed and became stronger, this world seemed to have been reset and had returned to its original state.

[Record]: An unknown device is detected and is requesting a connection. Would you like to accept the connection?]

The prompt on the game panel sounded again. After thinking about it, Su Mo did not choose to refuse this time around and tapped the “Accept” button mentally.

There was no imaginary burst of light or massive connection ceremony.

After the connection, the biggest change was that the previously locked functions, most of them suddenly became accessible!

“Manufacturing functions are accessible, chat functions are also accessible, trading functions are also accessible. What exactly is this place?”

Seeing all the functions light up, Su Mo curiously tapped into the World Chat channel.

The game panel’s automatic filtering system once again screened the flow of information in the chat channel, but when Su Mo saw the messages, he was shocked!

“Wasn’t I just in the shelter a moment ago? How am I suddenly in this hellhole?”

“There’s a lion next to me. Help! It’s got its eyes on me!”

“The end of humanity has come. Haha, everyone will die!”

“Does everyone else also only have one shelter that you can construct?”

Familiar dialogue, and even familiar names.

Without waiting for Su Mo to continue checking, a mission prompt notification that had never been heard of before announced itself.

[Task: Ensure that more humans survive the first disaster (Novice disaster: Acid Rain)!]

[Task Reward: Time currency reward. Reward amount depends on the degree of task completion!]

[Record]: It is detected that you have automatically accepted the task, and prize draw chances will be rewarded*3.

[Record]: Would you like to use the prize draw?
