My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! Chapter 123 - Interrogation! The Story Of The Camp

Chapter 123: Interrogation! The Story Of The Camp

“Huh…huh….”

Having spent time chasing the fleeing Ying Xiong, Su Mo’s breathing under the mask was a bit heavy. Every breath was like a whale swallowing, loud and heavy.

Since he upgraded the anti-viral properties of the combat uniform, the mask could effectively block harmful components in the air.

At the same time, it still had certain effects on normal breathing.

It had still been okay before, but now that Su Mo had been climbing up and down, and chasing all the way, he was suddenly struck with the feeling of hypoxia.

However…

The heavy breathing sound that resonated in Ying Xiong’s ears sounded like a beast frightening their prey before eating; it was extremely terrifying!

The heavier Su Mo breathed, the more he looked like an evil spirit from h.e.l.l coming to claim his life.

“Ying Xiong!”

Hearing a sudden shout, Ying Xiong, who was still lying on the ground, was so frightened that he sat up quickly.

Before Ying Xiong could react, an emotionless cold iron was placed against the back of his head.

Even if it was the first time he had felt its shape, having seen this exact scene in films, television dramas, and on the internet, Ying Xiong knew what it was…

“Su Mo… Su Mo… Don’t kill me. The person you really want is Ying Tianlong! It has nothing to do with me!”

With a tearful voice, Ying Xiong placed his hands above his head and stood up slowly.

Too panicked while he was escaping, Ying Xiong did not even have time to put on his pants, only his underwear.

In this weather, a cold wind blew upon him, causing him to tremble.

“I know, I know!”

“I know it has nothing to do with you. There are no debts without creditors, no hatred without cause. I just want to settle things with Ying Tianlong!”

Retracting the pistol, Su Mo patted Ying Xiong on the shoulder “kindly”, and his tone was no longer cold, even making it seem like it was all a misunderstanding.

Hearing Su Mo’s words, Ying Xiong finally dared to turn around.

However, just looking at Su Mo made him fall back onto the ground again, his legs trembling uncontrollably.

The armor was stained with crimson splotches of blood. In the cold weather, the blood had already solidified, no longer dripping.

The originally transparent mask had also turned b.l.o.o.d.y.

Where the mask was exposed, there were two cold and dark eyes that could be vaguely seen inside!

The smell of blood, and the spear in his hand…

For an instant, Oreo whimpered twice, revealing an expression of disgust.

Ying Xiong, who was sitting on the ground, was so frightened that he peed his underwear, and a yellow stain appeared under him.

“Don’t be afraid. I’m not here to trouble you. The design drawings of my shelter were revealed to you by Ying Tianlong?”

With the spear in his hand, Su Mo squatted down, looking directly at Ying Xiong.

This scene was extremely strange.

Looking at Su Mo’s eyes, Ying Xiong stammered and replied while he trembled, “Yes! He told me about it. That old b.a.s.t.a.r.d was the one who set me up. I didn’t mean to be hostile to you, Almighty Su. It was Kento Maeda… He plucked up a great deal of courage and dared to go against you!”

“From beginning to the end, I was honest and dutiful… Even when they asked me to go to your shelter yesterday, I didn’t dare to go…”

As he spoke, Ying Xiong his words were choked as he cried.

The tears in his eyes spilled forth, and with snot and tears he began to accuse Maeda of the crime.

“Almighty Su, ever since Ying Tianlong told me the details, I knew that this was the way of no return. Ying Tianlong didn’t have the guts to provoke you. He could only start these things behind your back. I would never dare to. Kento Maeda kept forcing me, I…”

“Didn’t Maeda say that he would share the spoils with you when he found the treasures?”

“Huh? That’s an injustice. It was a unilateral promise by Kento Maeda. I never thought that way!”

Realizing that he could not sneak his lie through, Ying Xiong looked panicked. Su Mo suddenly laughed.

This laugh was unrestrained.

Echoing throughout the mountains and forests, the trees and leaves rustling!

At the same time, without any hesitation, Su Mo directly picked up the spear and pierced it into Ying Xiong’s left leg!

Ah~

A wailing scream burst out of Ying Xiong’s mouth when the tip of the spear plunged into flesh.

The convulsing, severe pain almost instantaneously made Ying Xiong’s forehead sweat.

Su Mo did not pull out the spear, but coldly lifted the mask off his face, revealing the young but fierce face underneath.

“Next time…”

“When I ask a question, give me an answer…”

“If any answer you give is a lie, you can give up on your other leg. However, these legs…”

“Can still last four sentences.”

Without the cover of the mask, Su Mo’s expression was full of malice. When he glanced at Ying Xiong’s crotch, Ying Xiong shuddered instantly.

“The first question is, how did Maeda get on with the kobolds, and why would the kobolds believe him?”

This question was very basic, and it did not involve any important or difficult knowledge.

Before Su Mo’s voice ended, Ying Xiong immediately shook his head and spoke immediately, “When I joined the camp, Kento Maeda was already there, Maeda…hiss…”

Listening to Ying Xiong about to start talking nonsense, Su Mo gently twisted the spear, and the sharp pain instantly made Ying Xiong sober.

“Kento Maeda… his starting location was… in the saltpeter mining camp. That gunpowder could increase the power of spellcasting… He was the one who experimented on that and told the kobolds.”

“After the kobolds got their hands on the gunpowder, they relied on their 100-strong squad to defeat a total of 400 rat men and received a second opportunity to use the portal.”

“This time they sent over two thousand people and brought a large number of supplies. They built a castle in an instant, and Kento Maeda became their loyal lackey!”

Ying Xiong said these words quickly and without pause. At this speed, even if there was a false statement inside, it would not have been important, so there was a high probability that the words were true.

Doing two things at once, Su Mo took down all the information mentally and continued to ask, “The second question is, how many people were still in the kobold camp? Why are there only nine mages left in the camp this time?”

“I know the answer to this question! I know! Don’t pierce me!”

Su Mo was like a stern teacher, and Ying Xiong was like an obedient student.

If it was not for the spear in Ying Xiong’s leg oozing with blood, this place could be called a harmonious cla.s.sroom scene. Su Mo even thought he had the gift of a teacher!

“There were about 2400 people in the kobold camp. The last time they were seriously injured outside the castle, their numbers were left with less than 1500. After going out with Kento Maeda though, they started the summoning again, and this time nearly a thousand people came over.”

“However, most of the people who came over this time were warriors, and there were very few mages who could cast fireb.a.l.l.s. As a result, there weren’t enough mages in the camp today!”

“Where are the rest?”

“They are on their way to kill the lion people!” After speaking timidly, Ying Xiong broke out in a painful cold sweat.

However, looking at Su Mo’s expressionless face, he still held his breath as much as possible and did not dare to make a sound.

“I am very satisfied with the answers to these two questions.” A bottle of psychic energy water appeared in Su Mo’s hands from the storage s.p.a.ce.

Seeing Ying Xiong’s look of eagerness, Su Mo pulled out his spear from his leg. He unscrewed the bottle cap, tossed it into the air and poured it out.

A magical scene appeared. Ying Xiong, who had almost fainted in pain because of the pulled spear, after drinking about two hundred milliliters of the psychic energy water, seemed to have been injected with anesthetics. A happy expression appeared on his face.

The b.l.o.o.d.y hole that was still bleeding on his leg seemed to be clotting at this time, and the blood flow became extremely slow.

“Delicious, it’s delicious, please give me more! I don’t want to die!”

Seeing the desperation to live in Ying Xiong’s eyes, Su Mo showed a satisfied expression. He shook the remaining three hundred milliliters of psychic energy water in his hand and asked the third question.

“The next question, if you answer it well, I can let you go, and I can even give you the rest of this bottle of water. I can even guarantee that no one will pursue you for trouble again.”

Hearing the first half of Su Mo’s words, Ying Xiong was still immersed in the wonderful taste brought by the first taste of psychic energy water.

After hearing the second half of the sentence, Ying Xiong immediately reacted, nodding his head like a chicken pecking at rice.

“Who revealed the design of my shelter to you? Who was involved in the process of designing it? What is the relations.h.i.+p between you and Ying Tianlong, and how did he tell you?”

The three questions came out like a cascading waterfall, and left Ying Xiong stunned.

Soon afterward, Su Mo repeated the question. This time, Ying Xiong nodded repeatedly, indicating that he understood.

“Ying Tianlong is the son of my grandfather’s cousin. He is currently the leader of the Tundra Shelter. It hasn’t been easy for our branch ever since we were separated. At their branch, their situation has been relatively good, being grouped with several dozens of people.”

“In the first place, Ying Tianlong got in touch with those of us who were already distant relatives. He wanted to bring everyone together to build a shelter and fight against the disaster together but, in this wasteland, everyone did not know where they were, so they could only put it aside at first.”

“Then when Almighty Su, you broadcasted for the first time, I was surprised to find that the location of your shelter seemed familiar, similar to our current terrain. I told Kento Maeda about this matter, and I also shared it in a private message to the family clan.”

The carrot and stick approach was always the best way to get others to lower their defenses!

If Ying Xiong knew that he was bound to die, maybe he would have brought these things with him to the grave.

Now, Ying Xiong, who had not been honest even when a spear pierced a b.l.o.o.d.y hole into his leg, started to speak the truth under the temptation of the psychic energy water.

These details that were given, when thinking about it, Su Mo thought that they were worthy of further scrutiny.

He nodded, motioning to Ying Xiong to continue.

“I don’t know how Kento Maeda verified that Almighty Su’s shelter was nearby. Anyway, on the night when the kobold team went out to search for resources, Maeda looked for me excitedly, saying that he had found Almighty Su’s shelter location. He invited us to attack and obtain the so-called “treasure”!”

“Of course, after learning about the location of Almighty Su’s shelter at that time, several people we knew agreed that the right way was to seek refuge from you. However, two of them were strangled by Kento Maeda and Marshall’s subordinates and died in the camp.”

“Since then, everyone has been forced to board the pirate s.h.i.+, and I could only pretend to flatter him. However, it was just the following morning that, by coincidence, Ying Tianlong also messaged me, saying that he knew the loopholes of Almighty Su’s shelter, and that a hand grenade would have sufficient power to raze the shelter to the ground!”

At this point, Ying Xiong’s face showed a d.a.m.ned look, as if all the coincidences under the sky had all been gathered together.

“After that, I told Maeda Kento about this matter, and Almighty Su already knows the rest of the story, so I don’t need to say more!”

Looking at Ying Xiong’s longing eyes, Su Mo raised the water bottle in his hand again and poured out another hundred milliliters.

The psychic energy water, seemingly s.h.i.+ning with a blue hue, and mixed with an inexplicable fragrance, made people extremely enticed by it.

Taking advantage of this gap, Su Mo said, “Then who made this design? Was it Shen Yitian alone, or was there partic.i.p.ation from your people?”

Ying Xiong spoke unconsciously, intoxicated, “It was two people, no, it was three people to be precise. The top students from our two families played a role in completing the design of the shelter together.”

“Shen Yitian didn’t see the loopholes inside?”

“He could see then!” Ying Xiong said with a strange expression on his face.

“With Shen Yitian’s level, why wouldn’t he be able to see such obvious loopholes? Of course he did!”

“Where is he?” Su Mo said coldly.

“He’s dead!”
