“Su Mo is giving out free water. As long as you are Chinese, you can receive three liters of water daily for free!”

“Foreign people only have 500ml. Good, this is the way. As long as they aren’t dehydrated to death. I’m proud that he’s Huaxian. If this were me, I would not give them even 5ml, let alone 500ml!”
“The G.o.d of water, Su Mo, has so much water. We Huaxians have Su Mo, are there any natural disasters that we can’t survive?”
“Su Mo, call him Almighty Su! This is a true G.o.d. No doubt that this action will save more than tens of millions of people!”

“By the way, did Almighty Su find a river? There are rivers in the wasteland?”
“What river can supply so many people with water? Are you stupid? Look at the quality of the water you received and then talk.”
“Our Huaxia is too strong, and these foreign G.o.ds can’t copy it. Oh, Almighty Su, G.o.d from Huaxia, may I ask, is it too late for me to join Huaxia now?”
“Are there any Huaxians willing to trade the water that they can’t finish? I am willing to use materials in exchange for water, I am willing to use labor in exchange for water. I am about to die of thirst!”
…
After Su Mo’s listing of water on the trading market launched, the World Channel blew up even before the first disaster arrived!
The game panel probably did not understand why, on this ordinary night, there were billions of messages delivered every few seconds.
As this was happening, at Hope Plains, Su Mo’s game panel was not idle. He madly drew thousands of tons of water from the spring every minute, transferred it onto the trading market, and distributed it to various places.
According to the current population of five billion people on the wasteland, the water provided by Su Mo in one day alone would be as much as three million tons.
After fifteen days, it would add up to 45 million tons.
As he sat next to the well, he watched as the game panel absorbed a huge amount of water over the course of an hour, before finally completing the transaction listing.
However…the well seemed to still be at the same level from when he started, without the slightest change in water level. It was as if the water that was pumped away previously had not been sourced from this well at all.
“The water converted from more than 9,000 energy points may have formed a terrifying large body of water underground. If it leaks out, I am afraid the consequences will be much more dire than the flood disaster!”
Su Mo stood up and stretched his limbs. Looking at the various materials that had been piled up into a mountain around him, his heart calmed down.
The ecstasy of living out his fantasy, the satisfaction that came from the feeling of seemingly conquering the world, at this moment, all those feelings had transformed into his peace of mind.
Those humans who had died in the main world due to lack of water would have their fates completely changed in the ruins of time.
They may die in the hands of foreign races, or under the knife of someone from the same race, but at least at this moment…
The name Su Mo had brought hope to too many people, like candlelight, igniting every dark and deserted heart!
“Oh man, it’s not easy to be a hero. It feels better to go back to the main world and continue being a powerful ordinary person!”
In the World Channel, messages of wors.h.i.+p still filled the comments screen.
Compared to the main world, Su Mo had taken even less time to be deified by the human inhabitants of the ruins of time. In fact, it only took an hour and a half to complete the task.
In the progress bar of the main task on the game panel, the completion rate of the task at this time had exceeded its limits, reaching a terrifying 120% rate of completion.
Once the first acid rain disaster was over, Su Mo could return to the main world with the time currency completion rewards.
Without stopping, Su Mo thought about the issue of storing everything he had acc.u.mulated. He began to wander slowly along the mountain of food.
However, just as he pa.s.sed the corner of the well, he saw Zhong Qingshu sitting in front of the mountain with an expression that seemed to be both crying and laughing at the same time.
The visual impact of the mountain of food swept up his heart in waves, and this feeling was even more apparent for Zhong Qingshu.
The big mountains of food encompa.s.sed about 45 square kilometers of s.p.a.ce, and the shortest pile was seven or eight meters high.
The tallest was over ten meters high!
Countless humans in the wasteland dreamt of having meat and snacks for enjoyment. Now, boxes of compressed food, just like roadside garbage, were piled up the open ground.
Zhong Qingshu, who had just been starving the day before, was sh.e.l.lshocked.
Sensing that Su Mo was coming over, Zhong Qingshu turned her head numbly, with a trace of confusion in her eyes.
“Su Mo… are all these ours?”
Safety, drinking water, and food had all been acquired in one day, and in a one-time serving that would last them decades.
Even with Zhong Qingshu’s courage, she was also left frightened at this time.
The materials collected by billions of people were concentrated on one person. Even if had only been a day or so, the results had been scary enough.
“Yes, it’s all ours. These potato chips, you can eat a packet or throw a packet!”
Looking at Zhong Qingshu’s naive appearance, Su Mo laughed loudly. He picked up a pack of potato chips that had fallen beside him and ate it happily.
His mission was completed, and he would enjoy the next five days as a vacation.
As the pressure of completing the task no longer weighed on his mind, he chuckled as he looked at Zhong Qingshu who was still in disbelief. Then Su Mo lowered his body, picked her up, and simply carried Zhong Qingshu on his shoulders.
“Don’t look at those things anymore. Even if the sky and land are endless, we can explore them on another day. Let’s take the day off, and we can continue discussing things tomorrow.”
Being placed on Su Mo’s shoulders by Su Mo, and watching the mountains of food disappearing in the distance, Zhong Qingshu’s eyes were full of confusion. After realizing her situation though, she immediately blushed.
However, this time, she did not put up any resistance, and she did not have any words to say either. She just lay on Su Mo’s broad shoulders quietly, her eyes twinkling with a trace of shyness.
After putting her on the motorcycle’s backseat, Su Mo got on and twisted the accelerator!
“Hold on tight, let’s go!!”
Speeding across Hope Plains that belonged to the two of them alone, Su Mo shouted, and all the gloom of the wasteland over the past few days seemed to be swept away.
If he could still return to the ruins of time in the future, relying on the resources he had acc.u.mulated, the ruins of time would turn into his back garden.
Along the way back to the two wooden houses, they observed the changes in the surrounding area. Su Mo lifted the fence gate with confidence and parked the motorcycle inside the compound.
Throughout the process, Zhong Qingshu hung behind his back like a clingy kitten.
“Oh dear, she could even fall asleep like this. She must be exhausted!”
Seeing Zhong Qingshu’s defenseless posture, Su Mo was startled and, at the same time, he could not decide whether to laugh or cry.
Only in an extremely safe environment could someone sleep so sweetly.
Even though she had not eaten dinner and was tired and nervous the entire day, she did not care and fell into a deep sleep right on Su Mo’s back.
As for the changes of yesterday and today…
Zhong Qingshu had been very vigilant yesterday; she was about to die when Su Mo entered her house.
Today, she had turned compliant and had full trust in Su Mo.
Wiping the gray and black dirt stains on Zhong Qingshu’s face, he sighed and watched her sleep. He opened the door of his wooden house and placed Zhong Qingshu on the soft bed that he made.
The big bed was covered with luxurious bedding. It was many times more comfortable than the wooden floor and, because of yesterday’s sleep, it still retained the Su Mo’s scent.
As soon as Zhong Qingshu was placed on the bed, her tensed-up body immediately relaxed, and the corners of her aggrieved mouth slowly relaxed.
“It’s…troublesome. Why don’t things happen according to the playbook?”
Touching the back of his head and looking at the sleeping Zhong Qingshu, Su Mo was slightly dejected. He opened the door and walked out.
However, from an angle that Su Mo could not see, Zhong Qingshu’s mouth curled up slightly, showing a relieved smile.
Su Mo had never dealt with a situation like this; having a girl in his bed. At this time, while the bed was occupied by someone, Su Mo could only ride his motorcycle and return to the food mountain and begin to work.
When he designed the placement of the well and the warehouse, he had naturally considered matters regarding transportation.
Therefore, in the two places, Su Mo had deliberately created a downward pathway that had simple stone guide rails.
It only took him a little more effort to create a few small rail cars to transport resources and materials into the warehouse.
The sky had darkened but, with the fire torches from the game, and the fact that Hope Plains was now extremely safe, Su Mo was not worried about the darkness around him. He sat on the ground and started to build the small rail cars manually.
After the eight little rail cars were constructed and connected, he placed them on the guide rails. After confirming that they could be successfully moved to and fro, it only took two hours before the mountain of food was transported into the warehouse by Su Mo.
At the same time, Su Mo also carefully sorted them into categories.
“Meat can be stored for a long time, but it needs to be processed. Things like rice noodles can also be stored for a long time.”
“As for these snacks, we can eat them as soon as possible!”
There were too many things, and Su Mo did not have a weighing scale, so he could only temporarily record the number of materials by estimation in a small notebook, and then let Zhong Qingshu take care of things slowly afterward.
After doing all this, he rode the motorcycle to patrol the surroundings of Hope Plains. After affirming the safety of his surroundings, Su Mo rode back to the small courtyard of the shelter.
After solving the problems of dinner and was.h.i.+ng up outside the wooden house hastily, he looked at the shelter gates that were closed on both the left and right sides of both the wooden houses.
Between being a beast and becoming a human being worse than beasts, Su Mo struggled. He finally followed his nature and walked to his hut!
“It’s just within the ruins, just within the ruins, it’s not the main world…”
Su Mo kept meditating in his heart. Feeling his heart beat nervously, Su Mo slowly opened the small door, and then walked in under the light of the stars.
Inside the room, there was a gleam of light and, on the small bed, Zhong Qingshu’s pretty face seem to glitter.
Should he wake her up…
As he was thinking, Su Mo lowered his head to look at Zhong Qingshu on the bed, and was then stunned.
Zhong Qingshu was crying?
What had happened?
She did not shed a tear even after being injured by a kobold, yet now she was crying?
Curiously, Su Mo went closer and found that Zhong Qingshu was indeed crying.
Her delicate little face was turned sideways, and tears flowed down her white cheeks. It made Su Mo feel distressed when he saw it.
“Could it be a nightmare?”
Touching his head, and then looking at Zhong Qingshu’s trembling appearance, Su Mo stretched out his hand. When he was about to wake her, Zhong Qingshu woke up.
“Su Mo!” Zhong Qingshu was tearful and pitiful. She opened her eyes to see Su Mo standing behind the bed. She suddenly jumped into Su Mo’s arms and hugged him tightly.
Su Mo was originally standing next to the bed. After being hugged, Su Mo could only sit on the bedside for the sake of his waist.
He had never dealt with a situation like this. At this moment, he froze on the bed and could only hug Zhong Qingshu mechanically, unable to say a word.
“Su Mo, are you going to leave soon? Are you going to return to your world?”
“Don’t leave, don’t leave me. Take me along, okay?”
Her words startled Su Mo, who was still thinking about how to comfort Zhong Qingshu.
Zhong Qingshu knew that he was leaving? How did she know?
The bug in the ruins of time was finally discovered by Zhong Qingshu?
Seeing Su Mo’s stunned expression, Zhong Qingshu did not speak anymore. Instead, she kissed him slightly fervently.
All the words that were in Su Mo’s throat were suppressed.
The night was charming, and the wooden house was pleasantly warm.
On the lonely wasteland, a man and a woman shared their body warmth.
…
After a while, looking at the woman with a blus.h.i.+ng complexion before him with blurred eyes, Su Mo leaned forward, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.
“Are you sure you want me to be here?”
“Will you reject me? Almighty Su~~~”
With a sweet smile, Zhong Qingshu asked in a honeyed voice, blinking as she spoke.
“Well, I admit, I like tonight.”
Su Mo put aside his serious side and pretense, revealing the true nature of a man.
Even if it was not in the ruins, in the main world, if one encountered such a thing, could he still be called a man if he was not impulsive?
Zhong Qingshu, who got an affirmative answer, immediately abandoned all her usual restraints and attacked him again on this fateful night.
…
Never has the flowery path been swept for a guest; from now on, the wicker gate would be opened just for you.
The spring water in the cave was endless, and the tadpoles in the stream competed for the upper reaches.
As he looked at Zhong Qingshu, who lay charmingly in his arms, a hint of red on her face, Su Mo paused and nodded gently.
At this moment, looking at the woman in front of him, a heavy sense of responsibility competed with the waves of happiness in his heart.
“This is my woman, the one I want to protect!”
“Ruins of time… Wait for me… I will be back!”
