Chapter 629: The Three Ill.u.s.trated Books, the Powerhouses of the Past Era! Part 3

Su Mo read through the content under the ground and mobile shelters in the next half an hour.

‘Interesting!

‘Spectacular!’

Su Mo expressed his praise repeatedly and was not stingy with his words.

The ground shelters substantially impacted him more than the underground shelters.

The book recorded an alloy castle with a circular disk on the ground that was shaped like a beast.

There were various buildings and infrastructures scattered over a range of hundreds of kilometers.

There were odd shapes and different patterns, but they had potent functions, and there were even super territories that could be linked during disasters.

Indeed, there was also a lot of outstanding creativity in the mobile shelter section.

Some people chose to transform a bus into a shelter and kept traveling all the way.

…

When natural disasters came, they would find a suitable location to resist the disaster.

Some people chose to convert their boats into shelters. They followed the rivers and floated to wherever the streams brought them. They sought sh.o.r.e to lean on whenever natural disasters occurred.

Others tamed beasts to ride or built mobile bases and wandered around the wasteland.

Human wisdom was endless, and it was evident through the continuous breakthroughs and the diversity of ideas.

Inheritance, knowledge, expectation.

The three ill.u.s.trated books were no different from toilet paper in the hands of an average person. Still, to Su Mo, they were valuable “golden treasure.”

Su Mo put the book down and could not calm himself down for a long time as his mind flooded with various thoughts about the future.

‘This can’t do! I have to find out where these two sc.u.mbags found these books!’

Su Mo could not open up his storage s.p.a.ce while outside, so he carefully placed it behind the pa.s.sword-protected storage box he carried.

Hiding the excitement on his face, he stood up and walked to where the abusers were imprisoned.

The previous resource storage was vacated, and the things were transferred to the main cave where the abusers lived for the soldiers from the expedition team to sort and categorize them.

The 25 abusers were detained together.

After a few hours, most of the efficacy of the drugs had already faded. Because these people had strong physiques, they were able to wake up sooner.

The others who were still under the influence of the drug had regained their consciousness but temporarily had no control of their bodies and laid on the ground mumbling.

They saw Su Mo approaching from a distance.

The soldier guarding the prisoner tapped on the table, his eyes narrowed, and all the abusers were so frightened that they hurriedly sat upright.

“These people haven’t tried to resist anymore?”

“Reporting to shelter leader! No, everyone has gone through our first ideological education and deeply recognized their mistakes!”

He seemingly wanted everyone inside to hear his voice as he repeated loudly, echoing throughout the cave.

“Sir, we’ve deeply reflected upon our mistake and ask you to be generous! Please spare our worthless lives!” The abusers trembled subconsciously and said in unison.

Their voices sounded almost too neat.

It was as if they had rehea.r.s.ed themselves, and Su Mo found it funny.

For the time being, he did not have the time to deal with the Liu brothers’ subordinates. He quickly found the two leaders, Liu Jie and Liu Zhi, then waved his hand, gesturing that he wanted to interrogate them alone.

The two were then escorted by the soldiers.

Su Mo walked into a separate compartment, and the two followed behind him very obediently, not even daring to make a sound.

They clearly understood their current situation.

Su Mo had no care for their lives or about the human resources in the cave anymore.

The thoughts the two had were very simple.

Live, by any means!

The Liu brothers were interrogated separately this time. They quickly realized the undisguised interest in Su Mo’s eyes and exchanged glances, knowing that an opportunity had come!

Gangsters who remained tight-lipped after being severely tortured only existed in films, dramas, or fictional novels.

It was impossible for one indulgent in enjoying themselves to have such strong wills.

The two understood that if they performed well, they might still have a chance to survive.

However, if they didn’t perform well and happened to provoke the person oozing with murderous intent in front of them, they would end up either severely tortured or meet their ends.

There would be no other ending for them.

Therefore, before Su Mo spoke, the timid younger brother, Liu Zhi immediately explained and wanted to beg for mercy.

“Al…Almighty Su, I know our lives are worth nothing to you. We…we are sc.u.mbags, but you can rest a.s.sured that we’ve never killed anyone in our lives. You can check with anyone in this cave, and if my words are proven false, you can kill me!

“We can tell you anything, all the secrets including the source of the treasures in our resource storage room or the mysterious group of people in the mountains, the process of the ruins of Sky Unity and… topographical maps of Great Mountain and…”

Liu Zhi spouted a lot of valuable information in one breath but still tilted his head as he frantically searched his memories for information that could redeem their lives.

Meanwhile, Liu Jie, who spoke with air leaking through his words, also tried to mumble additional information that his brother had not mentioned.

“Oh? It seems you two know a lot?”

Su Mo observed their expressions and micro-movements. He eventually concluded that the two were not lying.

The information had aroused his curiosity.

These two had previously acted as sc.u.mbags with no ambitions and were only capable of doing evil.

However, it now looked like these two were very valuable a.s.sets. They had an unknown past and likely precious information!
