My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!

Chapter 701

Chapter 701: They’re Not Humans! Who Are These People? Part 1

The plains were frigid on this particular night.

The outside temperature had plummeted to -10 degrees by one in the morning.

Lying on the freezing snow, Chen Shen was supposed to feel cold.

However, his heart was burning with anxiety and impatience instead of the cold.

“How much longer will it take for Captain Li Hu’s team to arrive?”

Hearing Chen Shen’s irritated inquiry, the soldier who had just finished communicating with the other team hurriedly answered, “Village chief, they’ll be arriving in ten more minutes!”

“Good!”

Chean Shen suppressed his thoughts and forced himself to calm down after hearing that there were only ten minutes left till they arrived.

While a soldier had gone to bring him a telescope, he had already confirmed a fact through his simple telescope.

‘People.

‘There are people inside the mysterious complex!

‘Not to mention, there are a lot of them!’

After he had confirmed these three points, a clear conclusion could be formed about it.

This was probably one of the most challenging situations anyone had encountered since they came to the New World!

Four to five minutes passed as he waited anxiously.

The soldier who had gone to bring the telescope finally returned and rushed over with a large box almost half the height of an average human.

Contained inside the box was the treasure of Hope Village: an ultra-long-distance telescope with a physical magnification of up to 15 times that a lucky winner drew from the lucky bag.

Although it was far from the optical zoom implemented by advertised smartphones in modern civilization, it allowed large amounts of light to pass through the scope. It would still be able to observe the sightings from a distance even if the light in the wilderness at night was insufficient.

The telescope and the tripod stand were assembled quickly in a few seconds.

Chen Shen impatiently raised his head and looked through the telescope, carefully observing the mysterious building complex that had fallen from the sky.

“Hiss...”

Chen Shen quickly glanced across the outside of the complex toward the inside and took a deep breath.

From his previous observation, he could confirm that the building structure within the mysterious village was much taller than inHope Village. It was at least on the same level as in the age of civilization on earth.

From his current observation, he could determine that not only was the building complex at the same level as on earth, but it was also even more...

Advanced!!!

From the outer gate, the villagers used natural stones as the foundation and steel as the foundation. There was also a village signboard made of a piece of wooden board.

The gate of this mysterious building complex was made of an unknown material and looked like a unified piece without any visible connection points.

The village signboard also had many oddly shaped decorations.

“This is really strange. No matter how you look at the architectural style, it seems to be made by humans...

“However, the details are extremely bizarre?”

Chen Shen murmured and shivered as he stared at the dried tentacles on the signboard and various biological carapaces beside it.

Hanging a sign on the door to show one’s identity was a tradition widely used in human gathering places and was unlikely to be seen in a foreigner’s territory.

Strangely enough, there were also prey skulls, and corpses hung at their gates, similar to the style of foreign races. There were very few dumb human gathering places that would be so ostentatious.

Incorporating both a signboard and skulls was a very rare sight.

So far, no human beings have been recorded to be able to integrate with foreign races, and no foreigners were willing to allow humans to share the same territory.

Chen Shen could not gather the information he needed after a series of observations.

He clicked his tongue and swallowed his saliva to moisten his unbearably dry throat. Then, he continued to inspect the conspicuous places in the building complex.

‘There’s a bonfire in the center!’

Under the bonfire light, Chen Shen could roughly see human figures flickering but could not see their specific appearances with his simple binoculars.

However, with the large telescope, despite a slightly blurred vision because of the distance and bad lightning, it was still much better than before!

He chased after the figures, stared at them carefully without blinking once, and patiently waited for them to pass by the bonfire.

Roughly ten seconds passed.

The figures flashed by again.

Chen Shen immediately felt relieved and nervous at the same time.

“Chen Yu, tell Captain Li Hu not to startle them for now.

“Ask him to do the same as us. Park the car three kilometers away and walk over on foot.

“There are people like us in the buildings, and they are likely humans like us.

“They seem very strong, and if they are equipped, we might be no match for them right now!”

Chen Shen identified the people who mysteriously showed up with the building as humans.

They walked on two legs and used two hands to carry their supplies.

Chen Shen turned his head and made a few arrangements after deep thought.

As long as it was humans and not a foreign race, they would have a chance to talk no matter the other party’s identity.

Even if the other party refused to negotiate peacefully, they would have a better advantage since it was their territory.

However, if they accepted negotiation...

“It’s a great opportunity for us!

“The shelter leader would be delighted when he returns if the other party is willing to join our territory and become an affiliate village!”

Chen Shen clenched his fists and was determined in his heart as he thought to himself.

As the village chief, he was well aware of why Su Mo entered the mountain.

The other leadership members thought Su Mo wanted to investigate the mysterious enemy and search for Marshal Wang’s missing party.

They thought Su Mo’s statement about rescuing more survivors was just an excuse to comfort everyone.

They did not believe him.

After all, it was impossible to bring hundreds to thousands of people back from the mountains all the way back to the village. The thought of it alone was a headache.

Despite that, Chen Shen believed that the words he shared with the villagers were his real purpose!

The population in the village was pitiful and not enough to support the recovery of science and technology of a civilized age, nor was it sufficient to support further improvement of manufacturing.

They had to make use of their chances to increase the population now.

After two to three months, humans would scatter further apart from each other and hide in deeper parts of the New World.

The number of human survivors would also likely decrease drastically after three to five disasters.

By that time, it would be like finding a needle in a haystack to recruit humans to the territory!
