Data Wasteland

After dinner, Chen Xing went back underground and continued to command. But he was busy all day, a little tired, and fell asleep while waiting for feedback.

"Commander, wake up, there is a situation!"

In the middle of the night, he was awakened by a rapid voice and learned that he had encountered a corpse during the exploration. Three soldiers had been lost, and the corpse was crawling here. Chen Xing decisively ordered a retreat, and informed the mecha team outside to prepare for shelling. When the corpse nightmare appeared, it would explode.

"Hurry up!"

Upon receiving Chen Xing's order, the mecha pilot quickly got up from the tent, opened the hatch, climbed into the cockpit, flipped the switch, and turned on the screen. The logistics personnel ran back and forth, constantly stuffing shells into the magazine behind the mecha.

"Loaded!"

Following the order from the captain of the mecha team, all mechas carrying mortars on their shoulders made a "chuckling" sound, which was the rubbing sound of shells pushing into the barrel.

Immediately afterwards, the surroundings fell silent. The beam of the searchlight was concentrated at the entrance of the tunnel, sweeping in a small area, everyone held their breath and stared.

I don't know how long it took, the ground suddenly bulged out. In the incandescent light beam, a pile of rotten meat appeared, and countless faces were twisted on the pus-stained surface, and they were slowly creeping.

"Boom boom boom!" "Boom boom boom!" "Boom boom boom!" "Boom boom boom!"

In the next second, ten mechas fired at the same time, and the shells roared away, exploding beside the corpse nightmare. All of a sudden, the soil rushed to the sky like a fountain, and then fell like raindrops.

"Fight, fight again!"

Before the gun smoke cleared, Chen Xing issued the first round of orders. He had encountered corpse nightmares several times when he was in the Thunder Light Regiment in his previous life, and he has seen their tenacious vitality, which can never be solved by a few shells.

Next, several rounds of shelling were carried out until the barrel became red and clear, and it was necessary to stop and rest.

Chen Xing tensed his nerves and did not dare to relax. Suddenly, there was a long and sharp noise in the gunpowder smoke, and Chen Xing immediately fell to the ground. The sound of breaking through the air fell into the mecha group from far to near.

Turning his head and looking at it, a mecha was blowing a lot of white smoke, twisting uncontrollably, sparks and arcs burst from the joints, and a tragic wailing came from the cockpit.

"Hands, my hands! Help, ahhhh!"

When the gunpowder smoke cleared, the huge meat ball appeared in the beam of the searchlight again. Although the surface was charred and pus was flowing, it did not seem to have been fatally injured.

Chen Xing quickly scanned it with the black table.

[Dead Nightmare (Normal)]

[Vitality: 707/914]

[Innate ability: body regeneration, acid injection]

[Negative feature: slow action]

[Possible virus: living corpse disease]

Unexpectedly, several rounds of shelling only caused more than 200 points of damage to it, which was too difficult to deal with.

When he was worried, the white-robed old man standing on the high ground suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and a spear appeared out of thin air. The body of the spear was as black as ink, cold and heavy, but the tip of the spear seemed to be burned by fire, and it was extremely red.

I saw the old man throw his spear, grabbed it backhand, jumped into the air, and threw it.

"drink!"

A burst of red light shot out, piercing the corpse nightmare in an instant, and then the fire light flashed and exploded. The dazzling light, like the rising sun.

The corpse nightmare was blown to pieces, and there were squirming pieces of meat on the ground. Chen Xing immediately waved his hand and ordered the incendiary bomb to be fired. The soldiers and mechas quickly replaced with liquefied fuel bombs and threw them at the corpse's minced flesh.

The fire burst into the sky, and the smell of burnt meat filled the air.

The old man touched his feet on the ground, his face was flushed, and he took a few deep breaths before he was relieved. It seemed that this shot was not a small loss to him.

"Sanshu Gong, your Da Ri Magic Spear has improved again." Ye Yang Qingyan said in surprise.

"Congratulations Sanshugong." Ye Yang Bailiu nodded.

"Haha~" San Shugong smiled slightly, waved his hands and said, "I'm old, it won't work, I'll see you in the future."

After a while, the flame went out, and Hook led people to sweep the battlefield. Before long, a walnut-sized green crystal was delivered to Chen Xing.

[Intermediate toxin & energy crystal (corpse nightmare), about 26 grams]

[Market price estimate: 1300~1320 gold coins (World Bank)]

Although it was very valuable, nearly 50 gold coins per gram, it was still a loss. He lost an Art6, three lives, and consumed a lot of incendiary bombs and artillery shells.

After cleaning the battlefield, Chen Xing sent someone to give Ye Yang Qingyan the corpse nightmare crystal core, and she would distribute it uniformly. Next, because the tunnel was mostly destroyed by shells and needed to be dug through again, Chen Xing had to return to the water station to rest.

The next morning, he returned to the ground just after dawn and continued to command exploration.

The underground survival center is composed of five major parts, namely the living area, the manufacturing area, the power generation area, the planting area and the resource recovery area.

The living area and planting area are at the top level, the middle level is the manufacturing area and resource recovery area, and the bottom level is the power generation area. Most survival centers are maintained by geothermal power generation. The steam engine converts heat energy into electrical energy, and then various types of production are carried out.

Electric lights can provide plants with the energy needed for photosynthesis, and electrolysis technology can decompose all kinds of garbage. It can be said that electricity is the lifeblood of survival, and power failure means death.

At noon, the expedition team found a high-ranking officer’s residential area and harvested a batch of souvenirs, including identity sabers, medals representing military exploits, exquisite pistols, gold bars, clocks, jewelry, and various handicrafts.

Roughly estimated that it could sell more than 100,000 gold coins, Chen Xing hid two golden guns, a pocket watch and three major bronze medals, and handed in the rest. His private possessions accounted for about 5% of the total value. Even if Sanshugong and Ye Yangqingyan knew about it, they would turn one eye and close another. After all, he also contributed a lot of manpower and material resources.

On the third night, the expedition finally entered the manufacturing area. The passage is much wider, with pipelines over it, and tracks installed on the ground, and old rail cars can be seen from time to time.

The people in the survival center make and repair all kinds of equipment here, as well as produce weapons and medicines. Some of the survival centers are also connected to the subway tunnels before the cataclysm and can be traded with other survival centers.

But later, due to years of underground life, some people developed disease. In order not to be infected, most of the survivors cut off contact.

The rooms in the manufacturing area are very large, equipped with various large-scale production equipment, but they are not very valuable and can only be used as scrap iron and steel making.

"Commander, we found traces of some kind of large creature."

An expedition team discovered several giant holes several meters in diameter, unlike humans. Chen Xing went to the scene to check and found that there were some traces of high temperature burning around, and he quickly thought of steam silkworms.

The body shape of the steam silkworm matches the size of the hole, and linear burning marks will be formed where the high-temperature rays pass. There were various signs that steam silkworms had come here, then dig holes and left.
