“Moore, Moore, Moore... Why do they all have such weird names?”

Looking at the bear warrior who was one head taller than he was, Su Mo touched his forehead with a helpless expression, and then reached out and patted Moore’s head.

It was the first time he touched such a huge bear. Moore’s fur was not as rough as he imagined.

After receiving nourishment from the pseudo and true divinity energy, Moore’s fur became silky and extremely smooth to the touch. It was as though he had just taken a shower with shampoo.

“Master Su Mo, Moore wants to go out to fight. Moore can help you fight!”

Moore seemed to feel that Su Mo did not believe in his fighting power, and felt a little mad, slapping its bear paw on its chest loudly.

The noise immediately attracted Oreo, who was still playing with Big Spark and Little Spark on the second floor.

“Woof!”

Seeing the tall bear warrior, Oreo was not afraid at all. She laid on the floor growling, ready to pounce at any moment!

Her loyal actions made her seem more intelligent than Moore, who only cared about fighting.

“Chill, Oreo. Let me introduce to you, this is our new partner, Moore!”

Putting his hand on Moore’s shoulder, he saw Oreo’s tense muscles slowly relax, and slowly let out a sigh of relief.

There was a relationship of trust between pets and their owners.

However, the relationship between pets and pets was not definite. For example, the relationship between Oreo and Little Spark was better than her relationship with the gluttonous Big Spark.

If these two combat-oriented pets did not like each other, it would be difficult to manage if they went at each other uncontrollably when Su Mo was not present.

“Moore likes her. Moore likes partners that are loyal to his master!”

Leaving Su Mo’s side, the bear warrior Moore walked over with a surprised face and squatted down on his front paws in front of Oreo, who still maintained a slight defensive posture.

At this point, Oreo and Moore’s heads were finally at the same level; Moore’s was even lower because of his body structure.

Moore’s polite greeting etiquette made Oreo smile and nod. Now the two pets had been introduced to each other!

“That’s great! We are all partners in this shelter who will fight battles together!”

“Without further ado, there is a tough battle to be fought today!”

When dealing with pets, it was necessary to treat pets the same way as one did children and to speak as simply as possible in a “childlike” manner.

With Moore joining their family, Su Mo’s confidence in exploring the upcoming ruins increased exponentially.

With such a warrior by his side, even the Tibetan mastiff from before would not be a worthy opponent. Moore could kill the Tibetan mastiff with just one terrifying swipe of his bear paw.

Su Mo gathered his things and rushed out quickly to start up King Kong’s engine!

Watching Moore choosing to lie in the bucket with Oreo, Su Mo’s gaze focused slightly, and he directly pushed King Kong to its maximum speed from the get-go.

The roar of burning diesel in the engine burst forth, resounding across the wasteland.

Billowing black smoke was emitted from the rear and, as King Kong traveled across the wasteland rapidly, it left a trail of exhaust.

As it was Moore’s first time traveling using such a modern vehicle, he did not dare move while lying in the bucket, his whole body trembling.

The fact that a huge hunk of metal could achieve such speeds was completely beyond its comprehension.

Seeing Moore’s condition, Oreo, who was sitting beside him, laughed loudly. Buffeted by the strong wind, the trio made their merry way across the wasteland.

Su Mo followed the trail of “destruction” laid out by King Kong yesterday. As the sun slowly rose in the distance, Su Mo became even more familiar with the road, allowing him to pick up the pace even further.

After passing through the ruins of the kobold castle, a shroud of black fog became visible in the distance.

This black mist blocked the warm sunlight of the rising sun. At the same time, it blocked the vision of any living creatures that wanted to pry into its secrets.

“What does the thickness of the black fog represent? Does it represent danger?”

“However, the last time I entered, it was still the same set of ruins and the same location. It stands to reason that the level of danger should not change.”

Even though he was sitting in an excavator that was four meters tall, Su Mo still felt the insignificance of human beings before the power of nature as he observed the black fog that covered the sky in the distance.

“These natural disasters are just a driving force to promote the development of humankind.”

“But to find out the truth of this world, and what we will encounter in the future, it’s likely that we will have to slowly research and explore these strange ruins.”

There were too many wonders in the wasteland world, coupled with scenes and situations that would normally only exist in science fiction works.

As he watched Moore, who gradually picked up the courage to stand up and look around in the bucket, Su Mo smiled slightly and let go of his worries.

In Moore’s eyes, the mysterious excavator was a machine that defied comprehension. Even though he was sitting in it, he could still not understand what it was and how it worked.

This black fog was similar. Standing outside, Su Mo still felt that the black fog contained vast secrets and things beyond his imagination. In reality though...

It might just be a case of insufficient knowledge and understanding! Something that could be rectified by more frequent explorations.

King Kong traveled across the wasteland rapidly and, as he approached the location specified by Zhong Qingshu, he summoned the game panel to instruct Chen Shen to pick up the excavator at the ruin’s entrance. After that, Su Mo continued driving toward the ruins.

From a distance, he could see Zhong Qingshu was already waiting outside the ruin, clutching several weird-shaped tools in her hands.

Hearing the roar of the excavator, Zhong Qingshu, who was still deep in thought, was startled and cast her gaze toward the sound.

The next moment...

She saw a huge bear head that was smiling widely appear!

“Huhu!”

“Woof!”

After seeing Zhong Qingshu, Moore yelled in excitement, making Oreo beside him bark along as well.

Before Su Mo brought the excavator to a halt, Moore hugged Oreo and jumped out of the bucket; with a skilled backflip, they both landed firmly on the ground.

“Miss...Miss Zhong, my master Su Mo likes you. He wants to sleep with you and have lots and lots of children with you!”

“By the way, he called your name in his sleep. Oreo heard everything!”

“Moore can help to take care of your children. Moore likes playing with children the most!”

As soon as they stopped, Moore spat out “human words” one after the other without stopping. The scene stunned Su Mo, who was still in the vehicle.

Seeing Moore betray her so honestly, Oreo covered her face, forcibly breaking free from Moore’s arms, and slipping quietly to the side.

Moore, who did not realize his mistake at all, was still speaking words he heard from Oreo with his mouth wide open, listing them out one by one.

“Hehe, in our shelter, I heard that there are very delicious Chinese cabbages and meat. Moore’s favorite food is...”

Pang!

After receiving Su Mo’s violent punch, Moore turned his head around aggrievedly. Noticing Su Mo’s “vicious” expression, it hid away and cried out to Oreo.

“Uh, this is a misunderstanding, and its IQ is also a misunderstanding! Don’t mind these little details!”

Seeing the undisguised look of understanding in Zhong Qingshu’s eyes, Su Mo felt his scalp go numb. He quickly changed the topic.

“How long have the ruins been open for?”

“Not long, about half an hour. Also, it was not stable at the beginning, but it has just begun to fully consolidate, so we can enter!”

Taking out the compass from yesterday, Zhong Qingshu shook it slightly. This time, the pointer did not move after trembling slightly.

The magnetic arrow pointed firmly in the direction of the ruins, although what the arrow was pointing to exactly remained unknown.

“This is the direction in which we are going. In theory, only this location will be able to lead us to clues regarding the time currency.”

At this moment, Zhong Qingshu no longer concealed anything as she directly pointed out the direction the two of them needed to take.

At the same time, she put her hand into her backpack and pulled out another familiar object.

“If you can enter the actual ruins of time, relying on this thing, you should be able to overcome critical situations.”

“What about you?”

“Me? My strength is insufficient. I will only be cannon fodder if I enter the actual ruins of time. I’m not as good as you!”

After mutually expressing humility, Su Mo picked up the object Zhong Qingshu handed over and put it into the storage space with a heavy expression. Then he took out an M-1 rifle and handed it to Zhong Qingshu.

Compared with close combat weapons, the long-range aspect of guns was still more straightforward and convenient for girls.

Everything was ready. Su Mo glanced at Chen Shen and his group, who had rushed over to pick up the excavator, and nodded. He called out to Moore and Oreo who were wrestling at the side.

Three big silhouettes and one small silhouette held their hands together. Facing the black fog covering the ruins, they rushed in steadfastly.

Boom!

Before stepping into the ruins, the morning sun had risen, and the sky was full of clouds.

After stepping into the ruins, the whole world seemed to be crying and howling, as if they had stepped into the abyss of despair.

In the darkness in front of him, there were only a few illuminated candles to ensure that people who came in could observe the surrounding environment.

“Have we entered the ruins?”

Seeing that Zhong Qingshu was behind him, together with Moore and Oreo, who were still looking around, Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

The ruins were completely different from Liangfang Town. One was a small civilized village, while the latter was like the gates to hell.

The entire site was in the shape of a funnel. At the edge of the entrance there was a stone platform where everyone stood, and they could see that there was only a steep path down the cliff.

If not careful while walking, they could easily fall into the endless abyss.

“Are we going to walk down this valley?”

Even though Su Mo was brave, feeling the cold wind blowing out of this bottomless pit, and seeing the cliff path that was the width of a single person, his heart still trembled.

Bottomless...

Extremely dangerous...

Darkness...

When these three terrifying factors were added together, they could produce qualitative changes that were beyond the simple sum of their addition.

Even the bear warrior Moore, who could adapt to all terrains, felt his legs weaken at this time, as he stood on the side of the platform, carefully checking for other ways to descend.

As for Oreo, she used her evolved special ability for the first time, her little ears directed below, trying to listen for something unknown.

“No, we are going to jump from here!” Seeing Su Mo’s cautious stance, Zhong Qingshu smiled and shook her head.

“Jump?”

“Yes!”
