My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!

"MMP!"

"Do these gopher guys usually eat dung? This is too smelly!"

Just when the people in Pingtan Shelter seemed to have discovered a new world, they were immersed in all kinds of novelty.

Far away in Qinggang City, the trio walking on the sewer pipeline maintenance route also saw another "New World".

Because the undead were poured out in large quantities and black ash was left behind.

The thick excrement that was originally stuck in the upper sewage pipe has been completely squeezed into the lower pipe and started to "ferment".

During this period when the sewage discharge window is about to open, wisps of escaping gas have begun to gush out along sporadic pipe leaks.

It is hard to imagine that there can be a smell that makes people feel their eyes burning even after wearing goggles.

He accidentally almost stepped on a puddle of black and yellow objects. The old man quickly moved his feet away and couldn't stop cursing.

"Hurry, if we can't get out."

"Eat last night's stuff every day, and after a while, you'll end up with the same thing."

Tao Mengzhe, who was recording the sewage route on the side, glared at Lao Dao.

From last night to now, the three of them have eaten four meals that were like pig food to satisfy their hunger.

The taste of that thing is not bad, with only a faint salty and irritating smell. Generally speaking, it is still within the acceptable range of humans. Moreover, the raw materials added in the overall production process are very simple, and it is very easy to be absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract.

But the problem is that its ingredient ratio is simply too contrary to the living habits of humans on earth.

In the long-term cave environment, Blue Star humans lack a large amount of vertical space for activities and can only live in a small area.

In order to maintain the activity of muscle cells and prevent muscle atrophy throughout the body.

They can only passively increase the protein intake ratio and encourage the body to better maintain activity levels.

But humans on earth live on a vast surface. Even office workers have enough space to meet their activities.

In comparison, carbohydrates that can sustain body consumption are the favorites of humans on earth.

Other ingredients can be obtained in sufficient amounts from different foods.

Such completely different food intake habits have led to the fact that the kidneys of Blue Star humans have become extremely powerful for more than two hundred years.

Even protein, which accounts for up to 41% of a hunger-satisfying meal, can be easily broken down by the intestines and stomach, and then metabolized by the kidneys.

Of course, if you are a muscular man like Chu Ling Mo Zi who only cares about the ingredients, you will definitely be ecstatic.

But for ordinary humans on earth who are accustomed to a five-grain diet, it is still a bit too reluctant.

Long-term consumption is very likely to put a huge load on the kidneys and gastrointestinal tract, leading to a series of complications.

"Don't worry, we will definitely be able to get out." The male gunman walking at the front comforted.

Compared with the danger on the ground, at least underground is quite safe.

Although those radiation beasts received a huge size bonus, they were rampaging on the ground like tanks.

But those originally narrow sewer entrances and exits can no longer be easily accessed.

"Are you sure that if you go through here and pass the sewage window, you can reach the Wandering Jungle?" Finally reaching the end of the pipe, seeing Rosas rubbing the back of his head and turning around, the old man asked with a subtle expression.

"Probably, but I'm not sure if the gopher guys from Sunny Harbor Sanctuary set traps here before."

After groping on the wall for a while, Rosas suddenly pressed on a spot.

Creak.

The wall that had no gaps suddenly sank a small amount, revealing a window large enough for a person to bend down and pass through.

"That's it, it seems they haven't discovered it yet!"

The dark passage has no end in sight.

The male gunman took out the flashlight from the small pocket on the left and shined it. The light traveled far and hit a corner.

"This passage is about four hundred meters long. As long as we pass through it, we can reach the abandoned sewage window in Wandering Jungle!"

"There won't be any radioactive beasts that suddenly pop out, right?"

"Of course not." Rosas shook his head firmly, but judging from his evasive eyes, it was most likely that he only knew this path and had not walked it himself.

After lingering at the door for a while, the male gunman was the first to squat down and enter the passage.

This was probably a path built by the Red Core Shelter to maintain sewage pipes. Fine perforated ceramic tiles were laid on the ground for drainage, and the top of the head was double-reinforced with stainless steel alloy plates.

Walking all the way to the end, the passage that turns left is slightly larger, barely enough for a person to bend down, stand up, and walk.

However, the closer to the sewage discharge window, the more obvious the putrid smell became. The noses of those who were exposed to the direct smoke began to feel sour, and when they opened their mouths, it was as if someone was pouring Xate into it.

In such a harsh environment, no wonder the Radiation Beast wouldn't ambush him.

Maybe even they can't withstand this continuous attack like a stink bomb.

"Come in!"

"It's safe inside!"

Holding back tears, the male gunman yelled.

The trio, including Rosas, began to walk toward the end of the passage with tears and runny noses.

Gan!

The old man couldn't help coughing several times and almost vomited out the hunger-satisfying meal he had eaten in the morning.

If it weren't for the fact that the experience gained on the game panel hadn't been increased three or four times faster, even dogs wouldn't have come in this environment!

Fortunately, the distance of this passage is not long.

After about five minutes, Rosas came to the end again and knocked on an inconspicuous place.

A door to the outside world quietly opened, and the "fresh" air instantly excited the four people present.

Of course, freshness here is relative.

Although there is still a big gap between the air on the ground and a thick smell lingering there.

But compared with the stimulating smell just now, at least it can make people open their eyes now.

Take one step.

By the light of the flashlight, the male gunman successfully exited the pipe and stepped on the ground.

But the next moment, after seeing the scene around him, he froze on the spot.

Under the dim emergency lights.

The ground of the platform he was standing on now was as huge as a square, surrounded by hundreds of pipes erected above his head.

At the end of the pipe, there is a thick round alloy door with a height of at least thirty meters blocking it, like a heavenly gate.

Many corpses that have not yet been weathered are piled hastily in front of the alloy door. They must be old by the looks of it.

Nearby, there are several corpses wearing protective clothing, undergoing "giant view" transformation.

The sour and smelly corpse water flowed out from the gaps in the clothes and accumulated in a small pool on the ground. There were also some supplies that had not been eaten in time, piled up scatteredly.

vomit.

The old man who came down from behind took a look, and finally couldn't hold it back anymore, so he lay down on the side and started vomiting.

"They probably couldn't find a way out and suffocated to death in this confined space."

Rosas, who was used to seeing death, didn't care about this. He walked closer and observed for a while, and then gave the approximate cause of death.

"When the sewage discharge window is not opened, the oxygen in the entire space will be extracted by the huge exhaust fan to maintain the internal negative pressure environment, thereby extending the calendar life of the components. If you still want to get out at this time, there are only two ways."

"First, blow up the exhaust fan to restore the air pressure to normal."

"Second, leave through these hidden entrances and exits before absolute pressure is formed."

The few people lying on the ground most likely ran down from the entrance and exit above in a panic when the gophers were being cleared away from Qinggang Shelter. Their backpacks contained a large amount of supplies, including food, weapons, and some gadgets for first aid in emergencies.

But the strange thing is that they know how to get here, but they don't know how to get out of here.

Judging from the traces left near the place where they stayed, they could not even make a struggle.

"Could there be other causes of death?"

The male gunman also came closer and barely took a few glances.

The surface of the swollen skin of the corpse has turned black and yellow in the form of ulcers, as if it had been burnt.

The juice that was concentrated in the clothes but had not yet flowed out was a bit green and quite scary.

"Is it possible that you were poisoned first, and then when you got here, you didn't have the energy to move on?"

"It's possible that they left too few traces of their activities."

Although the cautious dream hunter was very reluctant, he still took out a small test tube from his backpack, which contained a slightly turbid yellow liquid.

"Brother, there is a wrongdoer and a debtor, so don't seek revenge from me."

After muttering in his mouth, he opened the mouth of the test tube and poured the liquid onto the exposed skin of the corpse.

hiss

A faint burning sound sounded, and the liquid on the surface of the corpse instantly reacted with the yellow liquid.

A few faint but definite wisps of black precipitate appeared at the reaction site.

"Good guy, is this obvious arsenic poisoning?"

"What the hell, how do you still understand this?" The male gunman squatted down and looked at the dreamer curiously.

According to his understanding, Dream Taoist's job on earth is just an ordinary university librarian.

As a side job, I occasionally go out to help people run weddings and arrange opening ceremonies.

The only thing that can be said is probably the Top 2 Peking University graduates.

"Well, I saw it in a book occasionally. I didn't expect it to be useful."

Reading is okay.

The dreamer continued with a serious face: "Arsenic poisoning is not common now, but you must know arsenic. Eating too much of it can cause arsenic poisoning. But they should have been dead for at least a week. There is still such a high arsenic reaction in the body now. It seems that the dose ingested at that time must have exceeded the lethal dose by dozens of times."

"Didn't that guy say he was hypoxic?"

"Hypoxia?" The dreamer nodded slightly: "That's true. Arsenic is highly toxic. Once it enters the body, it will cause serious damage to cellular respiratory enzymes, causing tissue cells to be unable to obtain oxygen normally, resulting in hypoxia. Phenomenon. Also, if you look at their nails, a corpse that died normally would not fall off and break into pieces in such a short period of time."

Conducting detailed autopsies was not the strong point of those present.

Inferring based on the only information available, only the above information can be obtained.

But for the next exploration, this information is enough.

"Several adults."

"We have to push their bodies over, otherwise we won't be able to leave next time we come here."

Once you have passed the taboo threshold in your heart, you are no longer so afraid of what is happening in front of you.

The diligent Rosas may not have the word "respect" in his worldview at all. He found a crowbar from nowhere and pushed all the corpses into the sewerage on the ground in three strokes. He also threw in some supplies remaining on the ground.

"We have to hurry up. Once the window opens, we only have half a day to stay."

"Soon, this place will be filled with a lot of urban water."

Apart from the corpses on the ground, there are no other traces worth exploring here.

He stopped and rested for a while.

More than half an hour later, with a creaking sound, the heavy alloy door began to magically move to the left, and a breath of fresh air blew in from the gap.

Goulong.

Goulong.

The hundreds of sewage pipes on the top began to work, breaking through the previous blockage and heading farther away.

Seeing this, Rosas quickly stood up and asked the three of them to walk sideways along the wall of the gap.

"Go up here and you'll reach the Wandering Jungle!"

On the other side of the sewage window, there are stairs leading directly to the upper floor.

Although many places are decayed and broken, generally speaking, it is okay to leave.

He circled up the stairs with difficulty. The alloy door at the end was still open, and a whooshing cold wind came out of it.

"How many floors are you entering here?"

"It should be the sixteenth floor?" Rosas groped for a while on the wall uncertainly, but still couldn't find the place where the floor was marked.

"Sixteenth floor?" Dream Taoist frowned: "Didn't the Rangers Alliance completely seal off the place below the twelfth floor?"

"Of course it's sealed. It's their lifeblood down here."

Rosas chuckled and motioned for the three of them to follow him inside.

And through this passage, the surrounding space suddenly opened up.

Different from the interconnected design of other shelters, the idea of ​​the Red Core Shelter was somewhat unique from the very beginning. It wanted to make each floor completely independent and set up different functional divisions.

This floor, for example, is specially used for

"Is this planting underground?"

No one is maintaining it, and only pale lights are on inside the entire space.

It was like walking into a vegetable greenhouse. There were rows of steel frames hundreds of meters long on both sides, with many plants hanging on them.

Using soilless cultivation, the roots of these plants are rooted in water.

However, due to the recent arrest of homeless people and lack of maintenance, many plants are showing signs of withering and yellowing.

"Damn it, who said the wanderers can't farm? Are they secretly digging up the gopher man's roots behind his back?"

"On the surface, they are still relying on the Gopher Man to survive, but in fact, they are secretly doing so in this way."

"This is"

"Fight back!"

Even if you don’t recognize the plants on the shelf, you can still find many grasses at a glance.

However, just when the dreamer wanted to step forward and take a closer look.

Suddenly.

The rifle on the male gunman's back appeared in his hand at some point, bursting into flames and roaring.

"Get out of the way!"

"There's a radioactive beast!"
