“I brought so many people on this trip, but in the end, it’s just you and me!”
“Awoo…”
Su Mo smiled and patted Oreo’s head. He leaned over and took out some dried food from Oreo’s bag to munch.
Although it seemed that he was overwhelming Sun Bahu in this battle, Su Mo benefited greatly from it.
In such an unrestrained physical battle, he learned about the limits of his strengths and how terrifying it was in the current stage.
‘I made the right decision to master martial arts!
‘In the face of a stronger enemy, victory can only be guaranteed by having these slight advantages.’
While thinking, Su Mo chewed on the dry food.
Chomp! Chomp!
It was freezing cold, and the crispy compressed biscuits were slightly frozen, making very crunchy sounds from Su Mo’s vigorous chewing.
His body was drained of energy after the intense battle.
Under total exertion of strength, he did not feel anything right after the battle. However, at this moment, he could feel a burning sensation in his stomach, indicating that he urgently needed food to supplement his energy.
This was an inevitable consequence of having improved his physical fitness. This was the reason why athletes with greater physical fitness had shorter lives.
The organs throughout the body would sustain more significant pressure because of increased physical fitness.
The organs’ functions would gradually decline, and it would be difficult to recover if energy intake was insufficient to replenish the lost energy.
Seeing Su Mo enjoying his food, Oreo, who was sitting beside also pleaded for a piece out of curiosity and chewed on it.
He gulped down a big mouthful of psychic energy water. Suddenly, he felt a familiar relaxed feeling and could not help but laugh.
His laughter lasted for a while.
It was not until the frightened birds nearby flew away that Su Mo finally straightened up and stopped laughing.
This rest had completely removed all the stress he was feeling on his body.
From Su Mo’s perspective, he felt as if the previous exhaustion had completely disappeared and was replaced with the feelings he had when he first descended on the wasteland.
‘The time in the ruin will not be the same as the outside world. Even if the difference in time flow rate is small, I can develop in ruins for an extended period.
‘I won’t have to rush completing the tasks. After entering, I’ll have to think thoroughly about the things I’ve overlooked during this period and the territorial weaponry development and research directions.
‘Also…’
Su Mo gulped down the last cookie and stood up, glancing toward Origin Territory.
Sun Bahu had only physical strength and was no match for Su Mo in head-on battles with either close-range cold weapons or hot long-range weapons.
Su Mo was confident he could make Sun Bahu kneel next time in only five minutes without other factors involved.
However, it was on the premise that the threat of missiles was removed.
Otherwise, if Sun Bahu was not killed with one blow, there was a high probability that he would do as he threatened previously and blow up everything should he feel that he could not turn the situation around.
This was a situation Su Mo did not want to see happen.
So he either developed a device that could find and control Sun Bahu’s hidden missile troops to get rid of his greatest trump card or found a way to improve his combat capabilities to kill the opponent before he could react.
Apart from these two solutions, other methods had low success rates and significant risks. Thus, it would be a dangerous situation.
‘I’ll try to develop a signal tracing equipment first, and if that doesn’t work, I’ll try to research equipment and weapons!’
The latter was much more challenging to achieve.
After all, a sneak attack with conventional hot weapons would not work since Sun Bahu had an ability similar to a sixth sense.
There would only be one chance to succeed in such an attack, and it would have to strike precisely when Sun Bahu let his guard down.
At the same time, the weapon would have to be portable which further increases the development difficulty.
Su Mo thought about it for a while but could not come up with anything.
He gave up struggling to think about it and began traveling quickly toward the ruin with Oreo.
Since he had already traveled through it once, he had a vague idea of the general terrain and the dangerous areas along the path.
Su Mo used the muscles from his hands and feet as he ran and climbed along the way. He was twice as fast as when he had traveled the road before.
Meanwhile, it was unnecessary for him to worry about Oreo.
She had the Grace of Ice and Snow ability, and her overall condition improved rapidly because of the gradually lowering temperature. She would progressively reach her peak form, similar to her first transformation in the snowstorm.
According to her current progress, she could transform into her giant wolf form without exhausting energy if the energy dropped by another four to five degrees.
Su Mo could ride on her when that happened, and they would undoubtedly be much faster.
