Transcending Worlds: I Have an Invincible Shelter

Su Yuyang shoveled mouthfuls of braised pork into his bowl, not caring that oil splattered on the corners of his mouth. The rich aroma of the meat slid down his throat, dispelling his fatigue and drowsiness.

The two people beside them had already forgotten their earlier shock and instinctively leaned forward, swallowing repeatedly with gurgling sounds.

The tall, thin Shen Changge's Adam's apple bobbed violently a few times, his chapped lips moved, and his voice carried an undisguised longing. "Brother, you, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Song Ruhai bumped his arm hard.

Song Ruhai was shorter than Shen Changge, but appeared more composed. He suppressed the hunger in his stomach and bowed deeply to Su Yuyang.

"Thank you for saving my life, brother. My name is Song Ruhai, and this is my elder brother, Shen Changge. We are deeply grateful! If you ever need our help in the future, we will do our best to assist you."

After saying that, Song Ruhai's gaze swept over Su Yuyang from head to toe, his eyes full of confusion.

Su Yuyang's tactical backpack was bulging, and his outfit was considered luxurious in the abandoned land, not to mention the steaming, fragrant braised meat.

The aroma had traveled far and wide, and it would likely attract settlers from other camps soon.

"Brother, aren't you worried about getting robbed dressed like that?"

Song Ruhai couldn't help but ask, his tone carrying three parts surprise and six parts confusion.

Upon hearing this, Su Yuyang slowly put down the spoon in his hand, and with a flash of his right hand, drew a machete from his waist.

The blade traced a cold arc, waving slightly in front of the two of them, and Su Yuyang asked coldly.

"You want to rob me?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it made Shen Changge and Song Ruhai freeze, instantly suppressing all inappropriate thoughts.

In this unfamiliar wasteland, Su Yuyang needs to extract information from them to make arrangements for the next leg of his journey.

"Brother, you've misunderstood! That's absolutely not what I meant!"

Shen Changge hurriedly waved his hand, his tone filled with panic, fearing that this ruthless man might kill them like those mutated hunting dogs if he was displeased.

Seeing the two of them in a panic, Su Yuyang smiled faintly and put away his machete.

"Alright, I'll stop teasing you guys."

As he spoke, he reached into his tactical backpack, unzipped it, and pulled out an unopened self-heating beef meal and two bottles of mineral water. He waved them in front of the two men, his eyes filled with a hint of temptation: "Want some?"

At this point, Shen Changge and Song Ruhai completely lost their composure.

The aroma of beef rice wafted into their nostrils, along with the two bottles of mineral water. In the wasteland, clean water was the most precious resource for survival.

The two men stared intently at what Su Yuyang was holding, their mouths watering uncontrollably.

Song Ruhai reacted the fastest, hurriedly raising his tattered sleeve to wipe the drool from the corner of his mouth, his voice trembling with disbelief.

"Brother, are you really going to give it to us? Tell me, what do you want? If we have it, we won't hesitate!"

He was telling the truth. On this abandoned wasteland, human food was extremely scarce and resources were extremely limited.

For pioneers like them, every day they had to risk their lives to go deep into the ruins to hunt mutated beasts and eat their meat. Being able to eat a clean bowl of rice and drink a sip of pure water was a luxury.

Su Yuyang blinked, his mind racing with calculations.

He still had a lot of food in his backpack, which should be enough to exchange for a lot of scarce resources, especially since food is a form of hard currency.

He had already planned to switch into "ruthless businessman" mode and squeeze a hefty sum out of these two, so upon hearing this, he casually asked, "What do you have?"

Song Ruhai hesitated for a moment, his eyes flickered as if he was considering his words, and then he gritted his teeth and said.

"To be honest, our night watch camp is weak and can only hunt low-level mutated beasts. I wonder if you'd be interested in the materials from those beasts..."

Before Song Ruhai could finish speaking, Su Yuyang's eyes suddenly turned cold, and with a flick of his wrist, half a blood energy crystal appeared in his hand. He asked solemnly.

"I want this, do you have it?"

Besides gold, what he urgently needs right now is blood energy crystals, which can help him extend his lifespan.

As for the gold, he can continue sweeping through the wastelands of the apocalypse.

Shen Changge and Song Ruhai exchanged a glance, both seeing hesitation and doubt in each other's eyes. Then, Shen Changge spoke.

"We do have Blood Energy Crystals, but they are under the unified control of the Night Watch Camp, not something we two can decide on our own."

Upon hearing this, Su Yuyang's cold smile faded slightly, his eyes became serious, and his tone became more solemn.

"In other words, you possess blood energy crystals."

Song Ruhai's eyes flickered for a moment, a hint of wariness flashing in them. He then quickly shook his head, his tone somewhat evasive: "Besides Blood Energy Crystals, what else do you need, brother? We two really can't decide on Blood Energy Crystals."

Su Yuyang frowned, feeling somewhat disappointed, but he didn't insist.

The fact that the blood energy crystals had to be handed over to the camp was something he had expected. He shrugged and said, feigning disdain.

"Gold is fine too, ten kilograms for a bottle of mineral water. Fifty kilograms for a box of beef rice."

This price is undoubtedly outrageous.

But Shen Changge and Song Ruhai did not hesitate at all; instead, their faces showed expressions of ecstasy.

In their eyes, this was like a windfall.

"Okay! It's a deal!"

Song Ruhai nodded hurriedly, afraid that Su Yuyang would change his mind. "You wait here, I'll be right back, at most half an hour, and I'll definitely bring you the gold!"

Without waiting for Su Yuyang's response, he turned and ran into the depths of the gray-yellow smog, his steps hurried, as if afraid that if he was a step too late, Su Yuyang would change his mind.

Shen Changge remained where he was, his gaze still fixed on the braised pork in Su Yuyang's hand. After hesitating for a long time, he finally reached into his pocket and pulled out an old USB drive covered in scratches and dust.

He hesitated for a moment, then quickly walked up to Su Yuyang, handed him the USB drive, and spoke with a hint of probing.

"Brother, I noticed you asked about Blood Energy Crystals earlier. Perhaps this thing can be useful to you."

Su Yuyang's gaze fell on the old USB drive, his brows furrowed slightly, his heart filled with doubt.

This thing looks ordinary; he couldn't see anything special about it, so he subconsciously asked a question.

"What's inside?"

Shen Changge lowered his voice, "It's a technology that can cause genetic mutations."

The reagents produced using this technology can transform ordinary people, even granting them special abilities like those with advanced talents.

"Gene serum? Talent? Superpower?"

Su Yuyang's heart tightened suddenly, and his pupils dilated instantly.

He absorbed the blood energy crystal in order to repair his genes and complete his evolution, and this seemingly inconspicuous USB drive actually hides the secret of genetic mutation.

The immense temptation instantly clouded his judgment, and he instinctively reached out, trying to snatch the USB drive away.

With this thing, perhaps the terminal illness could be cured more quickly, but the next moment he suddenly realized.

Su Yuyang knew nothing about the wasteland, and even with the USB drive, he couldn't access its contents immediately.

His outstretched hand froze in mid-air as he stared intently at Shen Changge, pressing for an answer. "You have a computer?"

"A computer?" Shen Changge shook his head subconsciously.

"Fine, I'll take the loss!"

Before he could finish speaking, Su Yuyang snatched the worn-out USB drive from Shen Changge's hand and tossed him a bowl of beef rice and a bottle of mineral water.

Shen Changge hurriedly caught it, his hands trembling. He eagerly tore open the packaging of the beef rice and started eating it in big mouthfuls without even bothering to drink water.

As he ate, tears welled up in his eyes; he had never tasted such delicious food before.

Su Yuyang leaned against the ruins wall, picked up his braised pork again, and ate it slowly, but his eyes kept glancing into the depths of the gray-yellow smog.

He was waiting for Song Ruhai to return, but he didn't know how many kilograms of gold the other party could bring him.

At the same time, he was also planning in his mind that once he got back, he must find a way to figure out the contents of this USB drive.

If gene mutation can truly be achieved.

Its value is much higher than that of gold.
