Wasteland Code Survival

Chapter 285: Tunnel

After Qi Lin rested for five or six hours, Ivan walked into the room with two mutants.

"It's time to go. Now this time period happens to be the time when the frequency of mutant creatures is the lowest."

...

...

The warehouse at the mouth of Ivan is located at the foot of the valley to the north of Nerozsk. The entrance is a cave similar to an air-raid tunnel. Two signs with Russian characters are hung outside to tell Qi Lin that this tunnel It is a three-defense fortification built during the Cold War in the former Soviet Union.

This fortification was also built to prevent nuclear war, but it fell into disrepair and was abandoned.

It’s just that according to Ivan, after the beginning of the third world war, the Russian government did not unsealed and repaired this old three-defense fortification, but built a brand new fortification near Nerodsk The refuge of Ivan is the "E04 Refuge of the Far East" where Ivan and the others are located.

Of course, the newly constructed shelter must be more reliable than the tunnel dug nearly a hundred years ago, and before the shelter was contaminated by radiation, the Far East e04 shelter was also connected to the underground shelter network in the Russian Far East, whether it was Both materials and information can be effectively guaranteed.

But the problem is that the e04 refuge in the Far East is just a small refuge, which is totally unable to accommodate the residents of Nerozsk and the refugees from the surrounding areas. After the refuge is full, people who fail to get in think of it. The three defenses left over from the Cold War period, but at this time, they desperately discovered that the entrance to the fortification had been sealed by the government with a heavy steel gate and could not be opened at all.

"Then what's going on?" Qi Lin pointed to the dark entrance of the fortification. Except for the half-person-high weeds around, he didn't see any trace of the big iron gate at all.

"Do you know this kind of bug?" Ivan rummaged on the ground for a while, then picked up a gray-white worm.

This bug looks similar to termites from the outside, but has subtle dark green lines on its body. Even though the bug has been dead for a long time, those dark green lines are still emitting a dim light-this looks like Traces of variation in radiation.

"Gold-eating ants, this little insect feeds on metal, and their saliva contains a strong acid that can corrode the metal into a state for them to swallow. That big iron gate was flew here by a nest from another place. The gold-eating ants that came here were eaten alive."

"What about these gold-eating ants? They flew away after eating the iron gate?"

"We originally thought so, but the other metal objects in Nerodsk City showed no signs of being corroded and gnawed away. Later, during one of our explorations, we discovered that these insects were attracted by the radiation from the depths of the fortifications. Flew in, but in the end all died under the excessive radiation."

Many mutant insects have a strong tropism towards radiation, just like Jet’s taste is attractive to addicts. Although they can’t withstand such high-intensity radiation, they can still fly. The moth's act like a fire.

At the entrance of the tunnel, there is a simple hand-push rail car made of iron sheet. This kind of rail car uses pure human power. Just push one of them, and then continuously press a lever at the rear of the car with your hands. The car can move forward continuously.

Under the car, a rusty railroad track extends from the entrance to the depths of the tunnel.

Although in Qi Lin's eyes, the darkness in the tunnel does not exist at all, but at about two hundred meters, the tunnel turned a turn, so he could not see the deeper scene.

"We are walking, this thing is too noisy, it will attract many mutant creatures living in the tunnel, and the middle track is also broken in several places." Ivan pointed to the rail car and said.

"Yeah." Qi Lin nodded, and then Yiwan waved his hands, the two were low and thin.The agile mutants took the lead and walked in silently. After the two mutants had entered for more than 20 meters, other talents followed one after another.

According to Ivan's instructions, try not to make any noise when you enter the tunnel, and you must never shoot. In the tunnel, the echo of the gunshot will go far and far.

The tunnel is wide enough for three heavy-duty trucks to stand side by side. On the top of the tunnel, there are thick metal pipes. Beside the pipes, there are bundles of cables with aging and cracked rubber skins.

The terrain of this tripartite fortification inside the mountain is intricate and complex, like a maze, but due to the mutants’ previous explorations, every fork in the road will be marked with white lime on the wall, so don’t worry about going wrong. The problem.

As the people gradually deepened, Qi Lin clearly felt that the radiation concentration in the surrounding environment had risen. Although this feeling made him very comfortable, the steps of the mutants around him began to heavier.

After turning a fork in the road and advancing for nearly a kilometer, Ivan finally signaled everyone to stop.

"Here is almost close to our limit. There will be no fork in the road. The source of radiation is in the deepest part of the tunnel." Ivan whispered, and then handed a backpack to Qi Lin.

"There is a night vision camera. I need you to take pictures of the images in the warehouse and show them to me. In addition, according to the intelligence we exchanged for death in previous explorations, the warehouse door has been destroyed, so you don’t need to worry. When entering the warehouse, it should be noted that there may be mutant organisms in the warehouse that are adapted to high-intensity radiation."

"You have four hours, we will meet you at the last fork in the road, but if you fail to come out within four hours, we will leave-please understand this, stay in this environment Four hours is already very difficult for us."

As Ivan was talking, he raised his hand and wiped away a puff of black blood that overflowed under his nostrils. Except for him, most of the other mutants also had some uncomfortable reactions. Some of them were weaker and more. It is constantly twitching and trembling, and it needs the support of people around him to barely stand.

"I know, but if I encounter a monster that is too powerful, I will give up this mission."

Ivan nodded, glanced at Qi Lin, then turned his head and walked out with the mutant, leaving Qi Lin here alone.

It was not until the last mutant disappeared at the corner that Qi Lin took a deep breath of the turbid air with a strong smell of rust and stench. Although the environment in the tunnel was extremely bad, it absorbed the black forest. For Qi Lin of Zhixin, he was as happy and comfortable as a fish in water, and his whole body was full of overflowing energy.

"Radiation concentration in the environment: 980"

"Current additional increase ratio: 35"
