Tokyo underground city

Chapter 82 Uncle Tao

Since everyone was playing the Riddler, Lin Huaien decided to think of some solutions on his own.

He opened the Wilderness House, hoping to find some information on it.

At first glance, everything seems normal on the forum, and everyone is posting normally. However, after he filtered the display conditions of the posts to Shangdu City, everything became a little different.

On the surface, there are still those posts on the forum, but the atmosphere is very depressing.

Some people are sharing first aid knowledge, while others are distributing tactical manuals related to street fighting.

A serious, dull and chilling atmosphere enveloped the forum.

"What happened……"

Lin Huai'en frowned and wanted to search again, but unexpectedly, there was a knock on the door.

He subconsciously picked up the phone and took a look.

He just placed the order, takeout won’t be that fast...

With doubts, he walked to the door and opened the door.

"Hey! Long time no see!"

As a result, as soon as Lin Huai'en opened the door, the uncle from the engineering team of the Dungeon Association and five or six familiar members behind him all raised their hands and said hello to him.

"Uh...why are you here?"

Seeing these "old acquaintances", Lin Huai'en was shocked and felt a little guilty.

He didn't know if the matter in the Salt 10 dungeon was exposed.

However, the captain of the engineering team just smiled and seemed to know nothing about the situation of Salt 10: "Let's take a look at the situation. There has been some movement in Changying Lower City recently, and we are worried that your place will be affected."

"Is there some movement in the lower city of Changying?" Lin Huai'en was stunned for a moment and moved out of the way.

"That's right, don't you know yet?" The uncle from the engineering team nodded and revealed the shocking information that the others had been hesitating about for a long time: "The monster wave is coming, and Chang Ying has detected anomalies in magic power. ”

"Monster surge?!"

Lin Huai'en was taken aback and followed the captain to the toilet: "Is there going to be a monster surge?"

"We'll talk later. Let's take a look at the situation here first." The captain took out something like an electric meter from his backpack and connected it to an interface under the seal bolt shell: "Your underground city is not connected to The main tunnel will theoretically not be affected.”

"But just in case, we'd better come here and add an alarm - if the seal bolt detects an abnormality in magic power or is attacked by a monster, the alarm will immediately notify the dispatch center and send official association explorers to deal with it."

"So you don't have to worry too much about safety..." The captain said, and suddenly he was stunned: "No... you seem to be an explorer now?!"

"Yes, or was it your suggestion?" Lin Huai'en was a little confused, "And, what's wrong with being a dungeon explorer? Is it more dangerous than civilians?"

Lin Huai'en felt something strange from the captain's uncle's hesitation.

"..." The captain was silent for a moment, and suddenly became annoyed: "What's going on with those people in the association? Why don't they even teach the basics?!"

The captain threw down the instrument in his hand and shouted to his subordinates: "I'll leave this to you, I have something else to do."

He came over and patted Lin Huai'en on the shoulder: "Come with me and we'll chat outside."

Lin Huai'en subconsciously glanced at the messy dungeon equipment in the room, especially the Wu Ru Zhi Yu and the backpack hanging on the hangers.

But the captain’s uncle smiled and tugged on the hairpin-like gadget on his collar:

"Don't worry, we won't steal anything."

"We all have cameras on our bodies. If the camera is damaged, the state will compensate you for all losses."

"Of course, our jobs will also be lost." The uncle dug in his arms and asked, "Want to smoke?"

"No, thank you, I don't smoke." Lin Huai'en declined.

"Then I won't smoke anymore. I'll hold one to relieve my addiction." The captain held the butt of the cigarette in his mouth and sighed: "What's your name?"

"Lin Huaien." Lin Huaien hesitated and gave his real name.

"My name is Li Tao, you can call me Uncle Tao."

Li Tao leaned against the wall and looked up at the sky outside: "How many years have you been in Shangcheng?"

"It's about two or three years since graduation." Lin Huai'en thought for a while and replied.

"You've been working in Changying? Where did you work before?"

"Chaoyang Gate."

"Chaoyangmen and Changying? They are both good places without dungeons..." Li Tao sighed.

Lin Huai'en frowned, and he heard a hint of sadness in Li Tao's tone.

Li Tao touched the cigarette in his mouth: "I used to live in the south of the city. About seven or eight years ago, a large monster surge of magnitude 4.5 occurred at Nanlu Airport, which destroyed my house and killed my son. .”

"I'm too old to be an explorer, so I signed up for the engineering team. I've been working on construction sites all my life, and with more than 20 years of construction site experience, I have no problem leading a team to seal the underground city."

Li Tao saw that Lin Huai'en seemed to want to say something, so he interrupted him: "Don't sympathize with me. There were many people who lost their relatives in that incident, and even the whole family left together."

"However, in the past few years that the engineering team has been working, we have seen a lot of joys and sorrows."

Li Tao subconsciously put the cigarette out of his mouth, and then realized that the cigarette was not lit at all.

He patted his thigh with some distress: "All in all, the underground city before the 20th floor is relatively safe, and the death rate of junior explorers is also relatively low. But there is only one exception -"

"'Only one exception?'" Lin Huai'en repeated subconsciously.

"Yes!" Li Tao nodded seriously: "That's when the monsters surge."

"When the underground city surges, is it more dangerous than inside the underground city?" Lin Huai'en was a little confused, "Why?"

"Because explorers cannot be resurrected on the ground." Li Tao said lightly: "The pass is a technology for the dungeon. It will only be activated after you enter the dungeon. And when you leave the dungeon, the protective effect of the pass will naturally be invalid. ——”

Having said this, Li Tao smiled bitterly: "Don't you think that we have really mastered the technology of resurrection from the dead?"

"No... I just..." Lin Huai'en took a deep breath. Many things he had not thought about before suddenly figured out: "So, in the tide of monsters, we explorers are more dangerous?"

Li Tao nodded solemnly: "Yes, starting from about tomorrow, all explorers in Shangdu City will receive a defense notice issued by the Prefectural Association - you will face monsters from the underground city together with the army."

"In about three days, the concentration of magic power in the dungeon will reach its maximum, and by then, the monsters in the dungeon will hatch at an incredible speed."

"If there are no accidents, starting from tomorrow, the emergency evacuation plan will be made public, and all residents within 10 kilometers of the nearby area will be transferred to other places for refuge."

"At that time, the only ones who will stay here will be soldiers and related staff of the Association of Prefectures——"

"And you explorers."

Having said this, Li Tao patted Lin Huai'en on the shoulder: "Of course, you can also choose to apply for asylum, but in that case, your pass will be revoked. Even if the monster wave ends, you will not be able to enter the dungeon."

"I'm sorry that I originally suggested that you become a dungeon explorer...but you can still give up this job now."

Lin Huaien saw that Li Tao's fingers were trembling slightly. He didn't know whether the other party was worried about him or was annoyed by his original suggestion.
