B3 floor infirmary.
Chu Guang, who was sitting next to the scanning bed, saw the upgraded attribute panel through the tablet handed over by Heya.
What surprised him was that he didn't expect that this upgrade would add two attribute points.
...Incredible, your DNA is even more magical than I thought. Is Refuge No. 404 a gene bank of the Human Resources?How much improved DNA have you reserved?
Sitting on the chair opposite him, Heya's face was filled with an incredible expression, and she had been chattering about her amazing discovery since the beginning.
However, Chu Guang, who was completely amateur, couldn't understand it at all.
have no idea.
have no idea??Heya looked at him in surprise. Did the director of the previous shelter tell you the nature of the shelter when he handed over his authority?
That old riddle man only told me that this is the last hope of human civilization.
Has he read this sentence on the note Chu Guang can't remember it. Because he often compiles short stories and background settings of the People's League on the official website, he occasionally confused himself, what are the things that happened in this world and what are the imaginations he used to improve his worldview.
But is this important?
Not very important.
He is a pragmatist, as long as it is easy to use.
As for the secret hidden in this refuge and what happened two hundred years ago, Chu Guang admitted that he was curious, but he also clearly understood that this was not the first priority for him.
After zipping the jacket, Chu Guang stood up from the scanning bed.
I have to tell you a bad news. I learned through my permission that spore concentrations in the air in the northern suburbs are rising, and something bad may happen at the latest two weeks.
Heya's expression gradually became solemn.
Regarding this, I actually happen to have something to report to you.
What's the matter?
While exploring the tunnel, your residents discovered a strange phenomenon... Heya took a tablet casually and swiped her index finger gently on the screen.
Soon, a 15-second video was presented on the tablet in Chu Guang's hand.
It was a flesh-red room.
At first, Chu Guang thought that the mucus on the floor on the wall was covered with blood and flesh, but after magnification, he found that things were completely opposite to what he imagined.
Layers of tiny flesh-red cilia are evenly attached to the concrete structure, and piles of flesh-red fruit bodies that are large in refrigerators are attached to the wall, stimulating gently like breathing.
The voices of players can also be heard in the video.
Shet...What's this?
Maybe it's the slime mold.
Not necessarily... I feel a bit like a trap. Look at the cilia, which looks like tentacles, is a little shorter.
Where is the captain?Hurry up and take a photo of Ah, and it will definitely be popular on the forum!
I'm taking pictures!
Chu Guang frowned slightly and looked at Heya.
This is?
The mutational mucus formed by the mutational mucus, with arms wrapped around his chest, Heya said with a serious expression. According to my research, the mutational mucus attached to the object all appear in three colors: black, brown, and black green, and appear in the form of plaques.
However, when the thickness exceeds 2mm, the fourth form will be produced... which is what you see now.
Chu Guang: I mean what it does.
Heya: Hatching fruit entity.
Chu Guang's expression was solemn.
In other words, those chewers came out of such houses?
He's heard of it.
In addition to the mother nest, there is also a kind of thing called an incubation room distributed in many places in the city, mass-producing spores, simulating the environment of the mother nest to foster child cow entities.
Although the efficiency of producing fruiting entities is far less than that of the mother nest, the number is quite amazing.
This is also the reason why those slime-type alien species cannot be killed no matter how hard they are.
Not only the chewingers, but also the crawlers, tyrants, etc. you found... in theory, they may be produced through this kind of thing.
When I studied the ingredients of the bacterial blanket, I found that in most cases, the fourth form of slime bacteria has strong self-limiting properties. Usually, after filling a room, it will stop expanding, and instead increase the thickness of the bacterial blanket and the number of hatching units.
However, in certain specific situations, this self-limiting will be lifted.
Chu Guang immediately asked.
What does this particular situation mean?
Not sure, Heya shook her head. Maybe the environmental conditions are met. Maybe when it thinks it is necessary to expand the population, the bacterial blanket will recycle some of the fruit entities that were previously released to hunt, and quickly expand the area of the bacterial blanket in a short period of time, completely engulfing the original environment, forming a larger incubation room... and at this time their color will turn dark red.
Chu Guang's Adam's apple moved.
...Maternal Nest.
Heya nodded.
I think so too.
The increase in the concentration of spores in the air is one of the important indicators for monitoring waves.
However, what Chu Guang didn't understand was why the first-generation managers knew about this.
Isn’t the variant slime mold something that only formed after the Wasteland Era?
According to the information originally obtained by Chu Guang, the shelter was blocked for more than one century.The variant slime fungi seemed to have begun to spread after the initial small ice age of the Wasteland Era.
Until his death, the first-generation manager should have never walked out of this shelter, and this is why that person chose to pass on his responsibilities and research results to his next successor.
Or...
There were mutated slime molds in the pre-war era?
Or this mutated slime mold itself is some kind of doomsday weapon.
He didn't know what Chu Guang was thinking at this moment, and He Ya's eyes were filled with a hint of worry and she said softly.
The urban environment is too friendly to slime mold. The concrete has strong warmth performance. In the case of sufficient nutrition, sewers, subways, abandoned buildings... these facilities are simply natural petri dishes.They are probably more suitable for the city than plants, and this is probably the real reason for the wave.
Sometimes the more I study, the more I feel powerless…it may be as Mr. Severn said, this planet may be no longer saved.The only thing we can do is preserve the fruits of the pre-civilization, carve it and the stories about us on the tombstones, and leave it to its next successor.
Sain is the administrator of Shelter No. 117.
It can be seen that as a tomb guardian, she respects the firm and kind manager very much.
However, Chu Guang did not agree with her statement.
My opinion is exactly the opposite. I don’t care about what happened after I die, and I don’t really want to consider whether there is any problem of saving this kind of problem.
Looking at Heya who looked at him in surprise, Chu Guang said concisely.
But since I am still alive and standing here.
Then I have to take care of it.
……
The edge of the fifth ring line.
On the messy streets, a strong wild boar was shaking his mane and emerged from the broken windows of shops along the street.
The snow had melted, and tender buds had already emerged from the cracks in the concrete rocks. Just as it was looking for the delicacy hidden in the soil, a gunshot suddenly came from a distance.
He was shot in the head, and the wild boar fell down and lay down on the ground.
pretty!
Squatting behind the half-collapsed billboard, Li Gou waved his fist excitedly.
This was his first time hunting.
The hunter at home was his eldest brother Li Niu before, but Li Niu entered the factory a few months ago, so he could only do this job.
Yu Hu, not far away, took a deep breath, put away the hunting rifle in his hand, and urged his companion.
Go and bleed quickly, wait for a while and the meat will become sour.
OK!
Li Gou excitedly walked to the wild boar with a dagger, and Yu Hu, who was carrying the hunting rifle on his body, followed him.
Since Brother Chu drove away the old town mayor's family, every hunter's household has replaced it with cheap and easy-to-use rifles.
Hunting with this thing is much easier than using bows, javelins and stone-capping ropes.
Especially when you encounter a plunderer, you will not be able to fight back.
It was a few months ago that they could have a rifle of their own, which was simply unthinkable for them.
Hiss... This wild boar is quite heavy, probably eighty kilograms!
I'll help you.
The two turned the prey in the face. Just as Li Gou was about to cut open the prey's arteries and bleed, Yu Hu suddenly frowned.
Wait a moment.
As he said that, Yu Hu reached out and pushed away the wild boar's ears, and saw a festering scar at the base of the ear.
The scar is very small, only as long as the little finger, and it is blocked by a mane. If you don't look carefully, it's really easy to ignore it.
What's this?Li Gou asked curiously.
The traces of the chewing person being scratched, mildly infected...
Yu Hu used a dagger to flip the sparse hair behind the wild boar's ears, then used the dagger to open the wild boar's mouth, carefully observe its teeth, and muttered.
Too rare.
At the slow speed of the getter, it is basically impossible to catch up with the wild boar.
unless……
Yu Hu swallowed unconsciously.
He had a premonition.
Something bad may happen.
Seeing that his cousin stopped talking, Li Gou thought there was something wrong with his prey and quickly said nervously.
So can this prey be sold?
Of course, it can be done, just a little skin trauma, which will not affect its flesh. After studying for a while, Yu Hu urged and said, "Hurry up and work, we will go back early today."
Li Gou nodded immediately, stopped talking nonsense, and began to bleed the prey.
After simply dealing with the prey, the two tied the wild boar to a wooden stick, each picked a shoulder, and rushed nearly ten kilometers to Linghu Wetland Park.
Although the slaughter stalls on Bate Street also collect prey, the price given is far less refreshing than the blue jackets in the park.
Such a big wild boar can now be sold for one hundred silver coins at the outpost, but at the slaughter stall on Bet Street, it can be sold for up to seventy or eighty days.
It is not a problem for him to earn more than 20 or 30 silver coins and walk more than 5 kilometers.
……
It was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was evening in a while.
After winter passed, the night would become more and more dangerous, and the two people on the road unconsciously accelerated their pace.
Follow the cement road through the woods and arrive at the south gate of the outpost.
Just as the two were about to go in, they saw a row of guards wearing black coats and carrying rifles standing to the west.
A rough picture shows that there must be about a hundred people.
A blue power armor also stood there, as if inspecting the recruits.
Yu Hu, who often comes here, naturally recognizes the blue iron lump.
That is the manager's power armor.
Is this going to fight?A surprised expression appeared on Li Gou's face, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.
He is different from his brother Li Niu. He wants to join the army more than to work in the factory.
The black coat and the Arbitrator rifle were so handsome!
Recently, the Guard also issued a helmet and an engineer shovel, which in his opinion was simply a man's dream.
I don’t know... Yu Hu shook his head and said in a muffled voice, I always feel that something big is going to happen.
Didn't disturb Brother Chu's work.
Yu Hu urged Li Gou to stop watching, and the two of them took the wild boar to the warehouse together.
It was not Zhao Shu who was on duty today, but another young man who didn’t know his name.
Since this time it was settled in silver coins, the process is very simple.
After checking that the prey had released blood, the guy weighed the prey and put 7 silver coins and a bill worth 100 in Yu Hu's hands.
Has the meat price rise again?Looking at the banknotes and coins in his hand, Yu Hu showed a surprised expression on his face.
The guy smiled and said: It's a little higher. The price of a pound of wild boar meat in the market has now risen to 6 silver coins.Recently, the manager has raised the closing price and inventory limit of meat trading products. If I hadn't been able to hunt, I would have wanted to be a hunter.
Of course, although prices have risen a lot, wages have also risen a lot.
The earliest warehouse administrator's daily salary was only two silver coins. If you want to eat meat, you have to save money. Now the daily salary has increased to twelve silver coins, and you can buy one kilogram of meat a day.
However, it was too troublesome to start the fire and cook. In the past, they would save money to buy some meat and eat it, but now they just use the money to go to the market at the north gate to spend money.
A three-liang bun can only be a silver coin, and two buns can be a full meal with a cup of soy milk or corn juice, which can not cost much in total.
Compared with the wandering life before, every day here is like a fairy day.
Yu Hu and Li Gou discussed it, used the money in their hands to buy some salt, cloth, and soap and other daily necessities, and added some bullets.
After purchasing these things, there were still 10 coins left.
The two shared the money. After Yu Hu asked Li Gou to take the things back, he went to the bank and found Xiaoyu.
Compared with the thin little girl like a reed stick a few months ago, the fish has not only grown taller, but also grown better, and its fair cheeks even have a trace of baby fat on it.
The black big eyes were exactly as clear and cute as before, just like the water of Linghu Lake.
Yu Hu always worried that his sister would not be able to do such an important job as a settlement, because she always fry the green wheat cakes.In his impression, the people who can manage the account books are all old men as steady as old Charlie.
But now it seems that my worries seem to be redundant.
Although she is not good at pancakes, she is unexpectedly suitable for calculating.
Could it be because the iron pot is too heavy?
Yu Hu suddenly realized this problem and couldn't help feeling ashamed.
I didn't realize it at all...
elder brother?
Seeing Yu Hu, Yu Xiaoyu's eyes lit up and he immediately stood up from behind the counter.
After the New Year's party, she hadn't seen her brother for a month.
Yu Hu said with a simple smile.
I'll see you for my parents. How are you doing recently?No one bullies you, right?
Xiaoyu nodded vigorously, shook his head like a wave, with a happy smile on his face.
The little fish is doing well!Brother Chu and everyone, they are all very good people!
Although she was a little uncomfortable at the beginning, she is now able to complete the job very skillfully.Everyone is very kind and takes good care of her.
The only thing that made Xiaoyu a little troubled was that people always put the change secretly on the table and turned around and ran away. She also had to go to Xiaoqi to check the surveillance camera to find out who saved the money.
Especially the big white bear, it is always sneaky when saving money.
Is it because I am too fierce?
Although Brother Chu told me not to care, sometimes Xiaoyu still felt a little sad.
Seeing his sister's lively and cheerful appearance, Yu Hu showed a reassuring smile on his face.
That's good!
I feel relieved when I see you healthy.
Xiaoyu continued.
Are your parents in good health?And the elder brother, I heard that they encountered a plunderer on the side of the Fifth Ring Road the day before yesterday?No injuries.
Yu Hu smiled and said: No, no, don’t worry, they are in good health.And your elder brother's shooting skills are very powerful. Last time I saw him shooting a target, he could hit a can 100 meters away with one shot.
Xiaoyu had no idea about this distance, but she still frowned.
No matter how powerful the marksman is, you can't show off. Everyone in the shelter is also very powerful, but sometimes they will still be injured.And second brother, you are the same. Even if you have a gun, you can't go to a too dangerous place.
I know.Yu Hu scratched the back of his head.
It was obvious that he was taking care of his sister himself, but he was educated by the little guy in turn.
Where can I go and where can I not go? Can I still not know, an old hunter?
However, it feels pretty good to be cared for.
At this moment, the azure blue power armor walked towards this side from the west gate.
Seeing Chu Guang, Yu Hu's eyes lit up and hello.
Brother Chu!
Yu Hu?Chu Guang opened the mask on his helmet, looked at the young man in front of him and said with a smile, "What are the gains today?"
Hehe, it's not bad. I got a wild boar worth more than 80 kilograms and exchanged it for more than 100 silver coins.Yu Hu smiled shyly, but his eyes were full of pride.
good!Chu Guang nodded with praise, smiled and joked, it seems that there was roasted wild boar meat at the barbecue stall today.
Yu Hu smiled, but at this moment, he suddenly remembered something and immediately spoke.
By the way, Brother Chu.
Chu Guang: What's wrong?
Yu Hu hesitated for a while, and then said: There is something I have to tell you. When I was hunting today, I felt that the atmosphere inside the Fifth Ring Road was a bit unusual.
Chu Guang's heart moved and he asked.
Have you discovered anything?
Yu Hu nodded.
Recently, the alien species has become more dangerous than before. The wild boar I caught today was scratched by a corpse gnawing... It was almost impossible before.
Chu Guang had a thoughtful expression on his face.
This is indeed a problem. I have also noticed that the geeks and crawlers in the subway have been obviously more aggressive than before...
Listening to the conversation between the elder brother and Brother Chu, Xiaoyu's eyes were a little worried and couldn't help but whisper.
Brother, why don’t you change to a safer job...
It's okay, I didn't go out to hunt at night, and saw my sister's worries. Yu Hu smiled and said, "Those chewers all go out at night and hide in the house during the day."
Chu Guang suddenly spoke.
That's hard to say.
Seeing Yu Hu looking over in surprise, Chu Guang continued.
According to experts in our shelter, there may be a wave in the near future.Even during the day, it may not be very safe.
wave?!
Yu Hu's face changed slightly.
The wave...isn't that happening in the city center?
Chu Guang shook his head.
This statement is inaccurate, as long as the conditions are met, the wave may occur anywhere.
Yu Hu swallowed.
If someone else said this to him, he would definitely treat that person as a fool.
There is a giant stone city next to the Third Ring Road, and there is no mother nest outside the Third Ring Road. Those chewers are heading for crowded places. The northern suburbs are vast and sparsely populated. How could a wave break out?
But this sentence was said by Brother Chu.
In his impression, Brother Chu never joked about such serious things.
By the way, Yu Hu, what are you thinking about what I told you before?
Yu Hu was stunned.
What's the matter?
Chu Guang said with a smile.
It's spring, come here to help me.
I do, of course I do!When he heard that it was this, Yu Hu nodded repeatedly and touched the back of his head embarrassedly, but I would hunt... I'm afraid I won't be able to help you any more.
How could it be?Chu Guang smiled and said, "A sophisticated hunter and guide is exactly what we need now."
After pausing, Chu Guang looked at Yu Hu seriously and continued.
The threat of the wave is approaching. I plan to set up a hunter union at the outpost to unite hunters and residents of the shelter with hunting talents, and investigate the city along the edge of the Fifth Ring Road.
I plan to let you be the first president of this union!
Yu Hu was stunned for a moment, and was at a loss for a moment.
Let me be the president?But I've never been
No one is born to be able to do it. I am very optimistic about your potential. Chu Guang smiled slightly and gave him an encouraging look. Don’t worry, I will tell you what work should be done and what specific work should be done.You only need to answer me one sentence, yes or no.
Compared to others, Yu Hu is most familiar with the terrain in the northern suburbs. He is not only an experienced hunter, but also a reliable guide.
Although this young man doesn't look very smart, he is actually not stupid. Chu Guang is still very confident in his eyesight.
The most important thing is that both the hunters on Bet Street or the hunters in other areas of this area are familiar with him, and players are not unfamiliar with him.
He is the one who serves as this functional NPC, which is perfect!
The old man was still hesitating, and Xiaoyu gently pulled his sleeve and said Nouo.
Brother, just agree. Working here will definitely be much safer than going out to hunt, and parents will definitely be very happy.
Yu Hu touched the back of his head and muttered.
You little girl, you have just been out of your house for a few days and started directing your brother to do things.
Xiaoyu said aggrievedly.
I'm not worried about you yet... and Brother Chu thinks that you can do it well, there will definitely be no problem.
He reached out and rubbed his sister's little head. Yu Hu looked up at Chu Guang with a smile and said seriously.
Since you are willing to believe me and give me such an important task, I will do my best to do it!
Chu Guang looked at him with approval and nodded.
Just wait for your words!
……
In the evening, Yu Hu returned to Bet Street, intending to tell his father, mother and elder brother about this matter and come back tomorrow morning.
Chu Guang told him not to worry, to settle the family affairs first and report within two days.
Night gradually descends.
On the other side of the Rock City.
My tail, which was full of food, was touching my slightly bulging belly, and burping out of the restaurant.
Hiccup~S, there are quite a lot of delicious food here.
emmm...it's not delicious. I feel that the snack street at the north gate is a little bit delicious. Si Si glanced at her. It would be better for Awei to pay attention to her image.
Tail said indifferently.
What's the relationship?Is there any problem with the awakened person's appetite a little more?And anyway, in the game, even if you gain a little weight, you just need to die once.
Well... Although the Resurrection Coin has become cheaper, I didn't expect you to use it in such a place.
The two of them each ate a big bowl of noodles and spent 4 chips.
Objective evaluation is not as delicious as the little player named Zhang Hai at the north gate.
The two of them came to an unanimous conclusion that the people of Giant Rock City were indeed living in the heat of water, and there was nothing in the noodles except salt and vinegar!
Where is the chili?
Does ramen without pepper still have a soul?
Sce unfolded the note in her hand, which read the matters she planned to investigate.
More than 20 items have been completed now, and only a few are left.
The next stop is the tavern.
Tavern!The eyes of my tail suddenly lit up, Oh, there must be many mercenaries there, right?
In theory, Sce looked around, but... the street seemed to be full of shops, and there was no sign that looked like a tavern.
Brother Fang’s strategy was not written either.
This kind of key information was actually missed, unlike that guy's style...
Tail said vigorously.
fine!Let's explore it!
Well, that's what I plan.
The two walked on the street for a while and continued to move towards the inner city.
Soon a big sign came into view.
I saw a beautiful girl on the sign, with her back against a barrel and a beer glass in her hand, and colorful neon lights flashing around her.
Although the style is a bit wild, it is undoubtedly wine.
!Discovered!
emmm…I think this shouldn’t be the kind of tavern we are looking for.
What's the relationship?Since the game production team has made it, it must have its meaning!
Huh?It makes sense for you to say this.
To be honest, Sce is also very curious about how real this game is.
Looking at the tail with expectations on her face, she made an expression that she really had no choice but to take it, and then walked over with her tail.
The security guard standing at the door glanced at the two of them in surprise, but said nothing, and collected two tickets for one person and two chips, and let them go.
The lights shaking in the tavern, the music was loud, full of wild and explosive feeling.
The two people who have never been to the bar feel that they are out of place with the atmosphere here.
Even the best tail felt a little uncomfortable.
If you don’t understand, just ask, how should you pretend to be like you go to the bar for the first time?
I think it might be a little more natural to treat this place as a canteen.
Tail looked at Sce with a surprised look.
Alas!Does Ss often go to such a powerful place?
Sce: Do you think this is possible for someone who plays games every night?
This is not quite like the tavern that adventurers often go to in RPGs.
It's a bit like a bar in reality.
I found a not very conspicuous position on the bar, and the two sat in the corner in a low profile.
Soon the bartender brought two glasses of beer mixed with water. Sis politely said thank you in a couplet. He smelled the cup and did not drink it, but looked at the surrounding environment.
The lights outside the dance floor were very dim, and no one could see the people around them clearly, and no one paid attention to them.
Just as Sce was wondering where to start the investigation, the music in the tavern suddenly changed.
A host walked to the stage and said a few words in the microphone, then a dancer in a pretty avant-garde dress walked to the stage.
There was a burst of excitement around me.
The sound of the climate even overshadowed the live music!
The dancer standing on the stage looked at the audience in a charming way and started his own performance.
However, what is interesting is not the dance itself.
But the clothes on her body.
Sis was slightly stunned, with a look of surprise on his face.
That's not Vine...
Before she could say anything, the tail next to her jumped up excitedly as if she had discovered a new world and pulled her to point to the stage excitedly.
I'm gia!See you!
Isn't that a work of art from Teng Teng?
A subtle expression appeared on Sis's face, as if she had foresaw what would happen in the next few hours.
Well...I saw it.
Very awesome.

Chu Guang, who was sitting next to the scanning bed, saw the upgraded attribute panel through the tablet handed over by Heya.
What surprised him was that he didn't expect that this upgrade would add two attribute points.
...Incredible, your DNA is even more magical than I thought. Is Refuge No. 404 a gene bank of the Human Resources?How much improved DNA have you reserved?
Sitting on the chair opposite him, Heya's face was filled with an incredible expression, and she had been chattering about her amazing discovery since the beginning.
However, Chu Guang, who was completely amateur, couldn't understand it at all.

That old riddle man only told me that this is the last hope of human civilization.
Has he read this sentence on the note Chu Guang can't remember it. Because he often compiles short stories and background settings of the People's League on the official website, he occasionally confused himself, what are the things that happened in this world and what are the imaginations he used to improve his worldview.
But is this important?
Not very important.
He is a pragmatist, as long as it is easy to use.
As for the secret hidden in this refuge and what happened two hundred years ago, Chu Guang admitted that he was curious, but he also clearly understood that this was not the first priority for him.
After zipping the jacket, Chu Guang stood up from the scanning bed.
I have to tell you a bad news. I learned through my permission that spore concentrations in the air in the northern suburbs are rising, and something bad may happen at the latest two weeks.
Heya's expression gradually became solemn.
Regarding this, I actually happen to have something to report to you.
What's the matter?
While exploring the tunnel, your residents discovered a strange phenomenon... Heya took a tablet casually and swiped her index finger gently on the screen.
Soon, a 15-second video was presented on the tablet in Chu Guang's hand.
It was a flesh-red room.
At first, Chu Guang thought that the mucus on the floor on the wall was covered with blood and flesh, but after magnification, he found that things were completely opposite to what he imagined.
Layers of tiny flesh-red cilia are evenly attached to the concrete structure, and piles of flesh-red fruit bodies that are large in refrigerators are attached to the wall, stimulating gently like breathing.
The voices of players can also be heard in the video.
Shet...What's this?
Maybe it's the slime mold.
Not necessarily... I feel a bit like a trap. Look at the cilia, which looks like tentacles, is a little shorter.
Where is the captain?Hurry up and take a photo of Ah, and it will definitely be popular on the forum!
I'm taking pictures!
Chu Guang frowned slightly and looked at Heya.
This is?
The mutational mucus formed by the mutational mucus, with arms wrapped around his chest, Heya said with a serious expression. According to my research, the mutational mucus attached to the object all appear in three colors: black, brown, and black green, and appear in the form of plaques.
However, when the thickness exceeds 2mm, the fourth form will be produced... which is what you see now.
Chu Guang: I mean what it does.
Heya: Hatching fruit entity.
Chu Guang's expression was solemn.
In other words, those chewers came out of such houses?
He's heard of it.
In addition to the mother nest, there is also a kind of thing called an incubation room distributed in many places in the city, mass-producing spores, simulating the environment of the mother nest to foster child cow entities.
Although the efficiency of producing fruiting entities is far less than that of the mother nest, the number is quite amazing.
This is also the reason why those slime-type alien species cannot be killed no matter how hard they are.
Not only the chewingers, but also the crawlers, tyrants, etc. you found... in theory, they may be produced through this kind of thing.
When I studied the ingredients of the bacterial blanket, I found that in most cases, the fourth form of slime bacteria has strong self-limiting properties. Usually, after filling a room, it will stop expanding, and instead increase the thickness of the bacterial blanket and the number of hatching units.
However, in certain specific situations, this self-limiting will be lifted.
Chu Guang immediately asked.
What does this particular situation mean?
Not sure, Heya shook her head. Maybe the environmental conditions are met. Maybe when it thinks it is necessary to expand the population, the bacterial blanket will recycle some of the fruit entities that were previously released to hunt, and quickly expand the area of the bacterial blanket in a short period of time, completely engulfing the original environment, forming a larger incubation room... and at this time their color will turn dark red.
Chu Guang's Adam's apple moved.
...Maternal Nest.
Heya nodded.
I think so too.
The increase in the concentration of spores in the air is one of the important indicators for monitoring waves.
However, what Chu Guang didn't understand was why the first-generation managers knew about this.
Isn’t the variant slime mold something that only formed after the Wasteland Era?
According to the information originally obtained by Chu Guang, the shelter was blocked for more than one century.The variant slime fungi seemed to have begun to spread after the initial small ice age of the Wasteland Era.
Until his death, the first-generation manager should have never walked out of this shelter, and this is why that person chose to pass on his responsibilities and research results to his next successor.
Or...
There were mutated slime molds in the pre-war era?
Or this mutated slime mold itself is some kind of doomsday weapon.
He didn't know what Chu Guang was thinking at this moment, and He Ya's eyes were filled with a hint of worry and she said softly.
The urban environment is too friendly to slime mold. The concrete has strong warmth performance. In the case of sufficient nutrition, sewers, subways, abandoned buildings... these facilities are simply natural petri dishes.They are probably more suitable for the city than plants, and this is probably the real reason for the wave.
Sometimes the more I study, the more I feel powerless…it may be as Mr. Severn said, this planet may be no longer saved.The only thing we can do is preserve the fruits of the pre-civilization, carve it and the stories about us on the tombstones, and leave it to its next successor.
Sain is the administrator of Shelter No. 117.
It can be seen that as a tomb guardian, she respects the firm and kind manager very much.
However, Chu Guang did not agree with her statement.
My opinion is exactly the opposite. I don’t care about what happened after I die, and I don’t really want to consider whether there is any problem of saving this kind of problem.
Looking at Heya who looked at him in surprise, Chu Guang said concisely.
But since I am still alive and standing here.
Then I have to take care of it.
……
The edge of the fifth ring line.
On the messy streets, a strong wild boar was shaking his mane and emerged from the broken windows of shops along the street.
The snow had melted, and tender buds had already emerged from the cracks in the concrete rocks. Just as it was looking for the delicacy hidden in the soil, a gunshot suddenly came from a distance.
He was shot in the head, and the wild boar fell down and lay down on the ground.
pretty!
Squatting behind the half-collapsed billboard, Li Gou waved his fist excitedly.
This was his first time hunting.
The hunter at home was his eldest brother Li Niu before, but Li Niu entered the factory a few months ago, so he could only do this job.
Yu Hu, not far away, took a deep breath, put away the hunting rifle in his hand, and urged his companion.
Go and bleed quickly, wait for a while and the meat will become sour.
OK!
Li Gou excitedly walked to the wild boar with a dagger, and Yu Hu, who was carrying the hunting rifle on his body, followed him.
Since Brother Chu drove away the old town mayor's family, every hunter's household has replaced it with cheap and easy-to-use rifles.
Hunting with this thing is much easier than using bows, javelins and stone-capping ropes.
Especially when you encounter a plunderer, you will not be able to fight back.
It was a few months ago that they could have a rifle of their own, which was simply unthinkable for them.
Hiss... This wild boar is quite heavy, probably eighty kilograms!
I'll help you.
The two turned the prey in the face. Just as Li Gou was about to cut open the prey's arteries and bleed, Yu Hu suddenly frowned.
Wait a moment.
As he said that, Yu Hu reached out and pushed away the wild boar's ears, and saw a festering scar at the base of the ear.
The scar is very small, only as long as the little finger, and it is blocked by a mane. If you don't look carefully, it's really easy to ignore it.
What's this?Li Gou asked curiously.
The traces of the chewing person being scratched, mildly infected...
Yu Hu used a dagger to flip the sparse hair behind the wild boar's ears, then used the dagger to open the wild boar's mouth, carefully observe its teeth, and muttered.
Too rare.
At the slow speed of the getter, it is basically impossible to catch up with the wild boar.
unless……
Yu Hu swallowed unconsciously.
He had a premonition.
Something bad may happen.
Seeing that his cousin stopped talking, Li Gou thought there was something wrong with his prey and quickly said nervously.
So can this prey be sold?
Of course, it can be done, just a little skin trauma, which will not affect its flesh. After studying for a while, Yu Hu urged and said, "Hurry up and work, we will go back early today."
Li Gou nodded immediately, stopped talking nonsense, and began to bleed the prey.
After simply dealing with the prey, the two tied the wild boar to a wooden stick, each picked a shoulder, and rushed nearly ten kilometers to Linghu Wetland Park.
Although the slaughter stalls on Bate Street also collect prey, the price given is far less refreshing than the blue jackets in the park.
Such a big wild boar can now be sold for one hundred silver coins at the outpost, but at the slaughter stall on Bet Street, it can be sold for up to seventy or eighty days.
It is not a problem for him to earn more than 20 or 30 silver coins and walk more than 5 kilometers.
……
It was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was evening in a while.
After winter passed, the night would become more and more dangerous, and the two people on the road unconsciously accelerated their pace.
Follow the cement road through the woods and arrive at the south gate of the outpost.
Just as the two were about to go in, they saw a row of guards wearing black coats and carrying rifles standing to the west.
A rough picture shows that there must be about a hundred people.
A blue power armor also stood there, as if inspecting the recruits.
Yu Hu, who often comes here, naturally recognizes the blue iron lump.
That is the manager's power armor.
Is this going to fight?A surprised expression appeared on Li Gou's face, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.
He is different from his brother Li Niu. He wants to join the army more than to work in the factory.
The black coat and the Arbitrator rifle were so handsome!
Recently, the Guard also issued a helmet and an engineer shovel, which in his opinion was simply a man's dream.
I don’t know... Yu Hu shook his head and said in a muffled voice, I always feel that something big is going to happen.
Didn't disturb Brother Chu's work.
Yu Hu urged Li Gou to stop watching, and the two of them took the wild boar to the warehouse together.
It was not Zhao Shu who was on duty today, but another young man who didn’t know his name.
Since this time it was settled in silver coins, the process is very simple.
After checking that the prey had released blood, the guy weighed the prey and put 7 silver coins and a bill worth 100 in Yu Hu's hands.
Has the meat price rise again?Looking at the banknotes and coins in his hand, Yu Hu showed a surprised expression on his face.
The guy smiled and said: It's a little higher. The price of a pound of wild boar meat in the market has now risen to 6 silver coins.Recently, the manager has raised the closing price and inventory limit of meat trading products. If I hadn't been able to hunt, I would have wanted to be a hunter.
Of course, although prices have risen a lot, wages have also risen a lot.
The earliest warehouse administrator's daily salary was only two silver coins. If you want to eat meat, you have to save money. Now the daily salary has increased to twelve silver coins, and you can buy one kilogram of meat a day.
However, it was too troublesome to start the fire and cook. In the past, they would save money to buy some meat and eat it, but now they just use the money to go to the market at the north gate to spend money.
A three-liang bun can only be a silver coin, and two buns can be a full meal with a cup of soy milk or corn juice, which can not cost much in total.
Compared with the wandering life before, every day here is like a fairy day.
Yu Hu and Li Gou discussed it, used the money in their hands to buy some salt, cloth, and soap and other daily necessities, and added some bullets.
After purchasing these things, there were still 10 coins left.
The two shared the money. After Yu Hu asked Li Gou to take the things back, he went to the bank and found Xiaoyu.
Compared with the thin little girl like a reed stick a few months ago, the fish has not only grown taller, but also grown better, and its fair cheeks even have a trace of baby fat on it.
The black big eyes were exactly as clear and cute as before, just like the water of Linghu Lake.
Yu Hu always worried that his sister would not be able to do such an important job as a settlement, because she always fry the green wheat cakes.In his impression, the people who can manage the account books are all old men as steady as old Charlie.
But now it seems that my worries seem to be redundant.
Although she is not good at pancakes, she is unexpectedly suitable for calculating.
Could it be because the iron pot is too heavy?
Yu Hu suddenly realized this problem and couldn't help feeling ashamed.
I didn't realize it at all...
elder brother?
Seeing Yu Hu, Yu Xiaoyu's eyes lit up and he immediately stood up from behind the counter.
After the New Year's party, she hadn't seen her brother for a month.
Yu Hu said with a simple smile.
I'll see you for my parents. How are you doing recently?No one bullies you, right?
Xiaoyu nodded vigorously, shook his head like a wave, with a happy smile on his face.
The little fish is doing well!Brother Chu and everyone, they are all very good people!
Although she was a little uncomfortable at the beginning, she is now able to complete the job very skillfully.Everyone is very kind and takes good care of her.
The only thing that made Xiaoyu a little troubled was that people always put the change secretly on the table and turned around and ran away. She also had to go to Xiaoqi to check the surveillance camera to find out who saved the money.
Especially the big white bear, it is always sneaky when saving money.
Is it because I am too fierce?
Although Brother Chu told me not to care, sometimes Xiaoyu still felt a little sad.
Seeing his sister's lively and cheerful appearance, Yu Hu showed a reassuring smile on his face.
That's good!
I feel relieved when I see you healthy.
Xiaoyu continued.
Are your parents in good health?And the elder brother, I heard that they encountered a plunderer on the side of the Fifth Ring Road the day before yesterday?No injuries.
Yu Hu smiled and said: No, no, don’t worry, they are in good health.And your elder brother's shooting skills are very powerful. Last time I saw him shooting a target, he could hit a can 100 meters away with one shot.
Xiaoyu had no idea about this distance, but she still frowned.
No matter how powerful the marksman is, you can't show off. Everyone in the shelter is also very powerful, but sometimes they will still be injured.And second brother, you are the same. Even if you have a gun, you can't go to a too dangerous place.
I know.Yu Hu scratched the back of his head.
It was obvious that he was taking care of his sister himself, but he was educated by the little guy in turn.
Where can I go and where can I not go? Can I still not know, an old hunter?
However, it feels pretty good to be cared for.
At this moment, the azure blue power armor walked towards this side from the west gate.
Seeing Chu Guang, Yu Hu's eyes lit up and hello.
Brother Chu!
Yu Hu?Chu Guang opened the mask on his helmet, looked at the young man in front of him and said with a smile, "What are the gains today?"
Hehe, it's not bad. I got a wild boar worth more than 80 kilograms and exchanged it for more than 100 silver coins.Yu Hu smiled shyly, but his eyes were full of pride.
good!Chu Guang nodded with praise, smiled and joked, it seems that there was roasted wild boar meat at the barbecue stall today.
Yu Hu smiled, but at this moment, he suddenly remembered something and immediately spoke.
By the way, Brother Chu.
Chu Guang: What's wrong?
Yu Hu hesitated for a while, and then said: There is something I have to tell you. When I was hunting today, I felt that the atmosphere inside the Fifth Ring Road was a bit unusual.
Chu Guang's heart moved and he asked.
Have you discovered anything?
Yu Hu nodded.
Recently, the alien species has become more dangerous than before. The wild boar I caught today was scratched by a corpse gnawing... It was almost impossible before.
Chu Guang had a thoughtful expression on his face.
This is indeed a problem. I have also noticed that the geeks and crawlers in the subway have been obviously more aggressive than before...
Listening to the conversation between the elder brother and Brother Chu, Xiaoyu's eyes were a little worried and couldn't help but whisper.
Brother, why don’t you change to a safer job...
It's okay, I didn't go out to hunt at night, and saw my sister's worries. Yu Hu smiled and said, "Those chewers all go out at night and hide in the house during the day."
Chu Guang suddenly spoke.
That's hard to say.
Seeing Yu Hu looking over in surprise, Chu Guang continued.
According to experts in our shelter, there may be a wave in the near future.Even during the day, it may not be very safe.
wave?!
Yu Hu's face changed slightly.
The wave...isn't that happening in the city center?
Chu Guang shook his head.
This statement is inaccurate, as long as the conditions are met, the wave may occur anywhere.
Yu Hu swallowed.
If someone else said this to him, he would definitely treat that person as a fool.
There is a giant stone city next to the Third Ring Road, and there is no mother nest outside the Third Ring Road. Those chewers are heading for crowded places. The northern suburbs are vast and sparsely populated. How could a wave break out?
But this sentence was said by Brother Chu.
In his impression, Brother Chu never joked about such serious things.
By the way, Yu Hu, what are you thinking about what I told you before?
Yu Hu was stunned.
What's the matter?
Chu Guang said with a smile.
It's spring, come here to help me.
I do, of course I do!When he heard that it was this, Yu Hu nodded repeatedly and touched the back of his head embarrassedly, but I would hunt... I'm afraid I won't be able to help you any more.
How could it be?Chu Guang smiled and said, "A sophisticated hunter and guide is exactly what we need now."
After pausing, Chu Guang looked at Yu Hu seriously and continued.
The threat of the wave is approaching. I plan to set up a hunter union at the outpost to unite hunters and residents of the shelter with hunting talents, and investigate the city along the edge of the Fifth Ring Road.
I plan to let you be the first president of this union!
Yu Hu was stunned for a moment, and was at a loss for a moment.
Let me be the president?But I've never been
No one is born to be able to do it. I am very optimistic about your potential. Chu Guang smiled slightly and gave him an encouraging look. Don’t worry, I will tell you what work should be done and what specific work should be done.You only need to answer me one sentence, yes or no.
Compared to others, Yu Hu is most familiar with the terrain in the northern suburbs. He is not only an experienced hunter, but also a reliable guide.
Although this young man doesn't look very smart, he is actually not stupid. Chu Guang is still very confident in his eyesight.
The most important thing is that both the hunters on Bet Street or the hunters in other areas of this area are familiar with him, and players are not unfamiliar with him.
He is the one who serves as this functional NPC, which is perfect!
The old man was still hesitating, and Xiaoyu gently pulled his sleeve and said Nouo.
Brother, just agree. Working here will definitely be much safer than going out to hunt, and parents will definitely be very happy.
Yu Hu touched the back of his head and muttered.
You little girl, you have just been out of your house for a few days and started directing your brother to do things.
Xiaoyu said aggrievedly.
I'm not worried about you yet... and Brother Chu thinks that you can do it well, there will definitely be no problem.
He reached out and rubbed his sister's little head. Yu Hu looked up at Chu Guang with a smile and said seriously.
Since you are willing to believe me and give me such an important task, I will do my best to do it!
Chu Guang looked at him with approval and nodded.
Just wait for your words!
……
In the evening, Yu Hu returned to Bet Street, intending to tell his father, mother and elder brother about this matter and come back tomorrow morning.
Chu Guang told him not to worry, to settle the family affairs first and report within two days.
Night gradually descends.
On the other side of the Rock City.
My tail, which was full of food, was touching my slightly bulging belly, and burping out of the restaurant.
Hiccup~S, there are quite a lot of delicious food here.
emmm...it's not delicious. I feel that the snack street at the north gate is a little bit delicious. Si Si glanced at her. It would be better for Awei to pay attention to her image.
Tail said indifferently.
What's the relationship?Is there any problem with the awakened person's appetite a little more?And anyway, in the game, even if you gain a little weight, you just need to die once.
Well... Although the Resurrection Coin has become cheaper, I didn't expect you to use it in such a place.
The two of them each ate a big bowl of noodles and spent 4 chips.
Objective evaluation is not as delicious as the little player named Zhang Hai at the north gate.
The two of them came to an unanimous conclusion that the people of Giant Rock City were indeed living in the heat of water, and there was nothing in the noodles except salt and vinegar!
Where is the chili?
Does ramen without pepper still have a soul?
Sce unfolded the note in her hand, which read the matters she planned to investigate.
More than 20 items have been completed now, and only a few are left.
The next stop is the tavern.
Tavern!The eyes of my tail suddenly lit up, Oh, there must be many mercenaries there, right?
In theory, Sce looked around, but... the street seemed to be full of shops, and there was no sign that looked like a tavern.
Brother Fang’s strategy was not written either.
This kind of key information was actually missed, unlike that guy's style...
Tail said vigorously.
fine!Let's explore it!
Well, that's what I plan.
The two walked on the street for a while and continued to move towards the inner city.
Soon a big sign came into view.
I saw a beautiful girl on the sign, with her back against a barrel and a beer glass in her hand, and colorful neon lights flashing around her.
Although the style is a bit wild, it is undoubtedly wine.
!Discovered!
emmm…I think this shouldn’t be the kind of tavern we are looking for.
What's the relationship?Since the game production team has made it, it must have its meaning!
Huh?It makes sense for you to say this.
To be honest, Sce is also very curious about how real this game is.
Looking at the tail with expectations on her face, she made an expression that she really had no choice but to take it, and then walked over with her tail.
The security guard standing at the door glanced at the two of them in surprise, but said nothing, and collected two tickets for one person and two chips, and let them go.
The lights shaking in the tavern, the music was loud, full of wild and explosive feeling.
The two people who have never been to the bar feel that they are out of place with the atmosphere here.
Even the best tail felt a little uncomfortable.
If you don’t understand, just ask, how should you pretend to be like you go to the bar for the first time?
I think it might be a little more natural to treat this place as a canteen.
Tail looked at Sce with a surprised look.
Alas!Does Ss often go to such a powerful place?
Sce: Do you think this is possible for someone who plays games every night?
This is not quite like the tavern that adventurers often go to in RPGs.
It's a bit like a bar in reality.
I found a not very conspicuous position on the bar, and the two sat in the corner in a low profile.
Soon the bartender brought two glasses of beer mixed with water. Sis politely said thank you in a couplet. He smelled the cup and did not drink it, but looked at the surrounding environment.
The lights outside the dance floor were very dim, and no one could see the people around them clearly, and no one paid attention to them.
Just as Sce was wondering where to start the investigation, the music in the tavern suddenly changed.
A host walked to the stage and said a few words in the microphone, then a dancer in a pretty avant-garde dress walked to the stage.
There was a burst of excitement around me.
The sound of the climate even overshadowed the live music!
The dancer standing on the stage looked at the audience in a charming way and started his own performance.
However, what is interesting is not the dance itself.
But the clothes on her body.
Sis was slightly stunned, with a look of surprise on his face.
That's not Vine...
Before she could say anything, the tail next to her jumped up excitedly as if she had discovered a new world and pulled her to point to the stage excitedly.
I'm gia!See you!
Isn't that a work of art from Teng Teng?
A subtle expression appeared on Sis's face, as if she had foresaw what would happen in the next few hours.
Well...I saw it.
Very awesome.
