Chapter 191.2: New Entrance and The Tunnel That Isn’t On The Map
Everything outside the gate on level B3 was unknown, and no one could say what would happen.
If the situation was optimistic, it may be an easter egg left by the first administrator.
In the worst case scenario, it may also be a litter of mutant mice or cockroaches.
Just in case, Chu Guang brought the exoframe over and slung his Nitrogen-Powered Hammer behind him and grabbed his Gauss Rifle. He also took two Sickle assault rifles, a bulletproof vest and a backpack stuffed with 7mm bullets.
The bulletproof vest was for Xia Yan.
Back in the preparation room on level B3, Chu Guang threw a Sickle assault rifle and a police bulletproof vest into Xia Yan’s hands.
"I shouldn’t have to teach you how to use it, right?"
Putting the bulletproof vest on, Xia Yan tied her long red hair into a ponytail and picked up the rifle leaning against the wall.
"Who do you think I am? I used to be..."
"The mercenary who gave her leg to the Creeper as its lunch?"Seeing the murderous look on Xia Yan’s face, Chu Guang hurriedly closed his visor and walked in front with a cough. "Follow me."
Little Seven rolled its wheels and squeaked along behind Chu Guang.
Seeing that he had no weapons, Yin Fang quickly chased after him and asked. "What about me? Give me a weapon too! In case of an accident, I can fight!"
Chu Guang thought for a while and threw the Silver Snake revolver hanging on the side of the exoframe to him.
"Remember to give it back to me."
"Just six bullets?!"
"I’ll give you more if you need it."
The gate switch on the console was pulled down, and Chu Guang pressed the red button.
After the alarm bell in the preparation room rang three times, the gate bolts as thick as human thighs were retracted one by one, and then the gear-shaped alloy door slowly rolled to one side, revealing the dark tunnel.
A blast of cold and dry air rushed at them the second it was open.
Chu Guang turned on the searchlight on his shoulders and walked forward with a Sickle assault rifle.
The soles of his feet squeaked on the ground. The layer of dust was thick. Clearly, no one had been there for a long time.
The light in the passage was very dim, it could almost be considered pitch black.
Luckily, the exoframe had its own light source, and the other two also carried flashlights.
With the light from his shoulders, Chu Guang could see a steel rail lying on the ground and a few construction tools scattered around.
"There is no such tunnel on the map," Yin Fang confirmed the map through the VM, and then said, "Our south direction is directly facing Clearspring City’s 12th Metro Line, and the straight-line distance is about 4 kilometers. The north direction overlaps with the exit of the city viaduct, facing the outside of Clearspring City.”
The 12th line ran through Clearspring City from north to south, and Flower Garden Street subway station was one of the stops on the 12th line.
Chu Guang raised his index finger, tapped on the side of the helmet, and opened the map on the eyepiece.
On the orange-yellow window projected on the tactical eyepiece, the nearest subway station was located near Baker Street, about 800 meters away.
Chu Guang had been there before, but he didn’t go in. He just took a look outside, and the inside was completely occupied by crunchers.
Most likely, there were other things that were difficult to deal with.
"What if we go north?"
Yin Fang tilted his head to the slide slightly.
"North... We are at the northernmost edge of Clearspring City, and further north is outside Clearspring City. The subway line is not marked on the map." Ɍ
The tunnel ran from north to south. The exit of the shelter was located on the side of the tunnel. After passing through the iron gate, there was a way to go both south and north.
"Let’s go to the north and have a look first." After speaking, Chu Guang took the initiative to walk in front and led the team to the north.
About 800 meters forward, the tunnel came to an abrupt end. There was an alloy wall at the end.
"It seems to be a dead end," Xia Yan, who was shining her flash forward, turned to look at Chu Guang, and asked, "Do you want to go back?"
Chu Guang looked at the wall for a while, then walked to the side of the wall and found something like a power distribution box.
Pulling off the cover, he saw a handle and a circular port.
What was interesting was that the circular interface just matches a small cold fusion battery.
With an idea in mind, Chu Guang took out a cold fusion battery with a remaining energy of 11% from his pocket and plugged it into the port.
Then, he pulled down the handle next to him.
A slight electric current sounded, accompanied by an extremely unpleasant fricative sound, followed by a slight tremor.
It was like an earthquake!
"What’s happening?!" Yin Fang looked around in slight panic, and took two steps back.
Xia Yan was relatively calm, she glanced at the ceiling cautiously, then looked forward again, her eyes widened slightly.
"It’s the wall! It’s sinking!"
Little Seven slipped to Chu Guang’s side and said nervously, "Master, this place is very dangerous, why don’t we retreat first?"
"No hurry. Let’s just wait for a moment." Chu Guang stared at the wall in front of him.
After a while of shaking, the tunnel behind it was finally revealed in front of everyone.
At this time, everyone discovered that the wall was hundreds of meters deep!
It was like the tunnel leading to the center of the earth.
"Incredible..." Yin Fang took two steps forward with a shocked expression on his face.
Such a thick concrete structure.
It had to be tens of thousands of tons, to say the least.
Counting the mechanical structure and the load-bearing structure below, it was almost equivalent to burying an aircraft carrier in the ground!
The metaphor may be inappropriate, but the meaning was the same.
Chu Guang was also shocked.
The mechanism itself was nothing complicated.
However, it was astonishing that more than 200 years after it was constructed, it was still able to start and run smoothly!
Just when the two were stunned, hoarse roars and running sounds came from the front of the tunnel.
Hearing the sound, Xia Yan was startled, immediately raised the assault rifle in her hand, and released the safety with her index finger.
"Crunchers! Ahead of us!"
Before her words fell, she had already pulled the trigger in her hand, killing the nearest two with three shots.
"It seems that the movement just now has attracted a lot of attention." Turning on the auxiliary aiming mode of the tactical goggles, and lifting up the Sickle assault rifle, Chu Guang fired the gun immediately. The heads of the few crunchers closest to him were instantly blasted open, and they all fell to the ground and died on the spot!
At this moment, a dangerous omen suddenly struck.
"Shit, it’s Creeper—" A trace of panic appeared on Xia Yan’s face, and the fearful memory resurfaced in her heart.
But in the next instant, the creeper’s head exploded into pieces.
"Don’t panic, I’m here."
Putting the Gauss rifle back onto his back, Chu Guang, holding the Sickle assault rifle again, skillfully switched back to automatic fire, and killed the several crunchers that rushed up to him.
There was a body piece all over the ground and the rotten stench permeated the passage.
Yin Fang, who was hiding behind, heaved a sigh of relief and lowered the raised his short gun.
Looking at Crunchers on the ground, and the black spots and Slime Mold on the far wall, his Adam’s apple moved with difficulty. "I have a hunch... I’m afraid there are many mutants ahead!"
"This doesn’t require a hunch from you. Anyone who isn’t blind can see it," Chu Guang continued after a moment’s pause, "The area ahead is better left for the players to explore."
After saying that, Chu Guang put away the rifle, tapped his index finger on the helmet twice, called up the mission window, and edited it skillfully.
[Mission: Clear the exit of level B3]
[Type: Hunting, Exploration, Assault]
[Note: The passage outside the exit of level B3 is occupied by Slime Mold mutants, we have to take it back from the hands of those beasts!]
[Target Professions: Hunters, Scavengers, Soldiers, and Players above LV5]
[Reward]
[Cruncher x1, 1 silver coin and 2 contribution points
[Suicide Bomber x1, 1 silver coin and 1 contribution points]
[Creeper x1, 20 silver coins and 20 contribution points]
[Tyrant…]
[...]

[Mission: Explore level B3 tunnel]
——
[Mission: Investigate the source of Slime Mold contamination in level B3 tunnel]
...
A total of 5 missions were updated in the mission channel, and players who met the Target Profession condition could freely receive them.
This should be a good leveling location.
Even if there were 10,000 Crunchers, it was just 10,000 silver coins.
Even if there were also 500 Creepers, it was just another 10,000 silver coins.
That way, players would not only gain experience, and improve their proficiency in shooting, archery, throwing, and fighting skills, but they would also earn money.
It was simply perfect!
If he could get another Active Matter Extractor, he could also deploy it there.
The efficiency of extracting Active Matter from a Cruncher was average; 10 of them could only be refined into 1 unit of Active Matter. However, no matter how small mosquitoes were, they were still meat, and the accumulation of small amounts could also be quite big in the end. Besides, it was better than letting the corpses of those mutants rot and stink in the tunnel, becoming a breeding ground for germs.
What he needed to pay was just some values that could be adjusted at any time.
Thinking of this, the corners of Chu Guang’s mouth curled up into a smile.
Looking at Chu Guang with admiration, Yin Fang couldn’t help but sigh. "Your players are too useful."
They were simply models of hard-working people.
He had never seen such a hardworking shelter resident!
Chu Guang joked, "It seems that you have gradually grasped the essence of this
game…”
Yin Fang was stunned when he heard a word he didn’t understand. "Game?"
"It means the art of exploitation."
Yin Fang’s eyes widened slowly. "...?"
