Chapter Twenty-Three: Vault 9
"There's no place to live, get out of here at once."
The hoarse man's eyes flashed fiercely, and he pushed his thumb forward to open the safety device of the metal gun.
"Hey, what's in your hand?"
The hoarse man looked at Su Xiao's fingers, and a small section of the test tube was exposed.
"Something that could save your life."
Su Xiao threw out the test tube in his hand, and the hoarse man immediately jumped back, and the glass test tube fell on the soft field.
"I drank it if I didn't want to die, the taste of my organs being eroded, it was uncomfortable."
"Do you think... Is it possible. ”
The hoarse man laughed, he was just about to step on the broken glass test tube, and the stinging pain in his chest made his movements pause.
Sha's hidden illness Su Xiao can be conditioned and cured, not to mention the problem of this hoarse man, the opponent's organs are eroded by some kind of energy, and that energy is the energy used by the opponent when fighting.
"Is it radial, or is it speckled?"
Su Xiao snapped his fingers twice, and the hoarse man turned his head a little 'bored'.
"Spots, shapes."
The hoarse man pursed his lips, and there was indeed a black spot in his left eye.
The metal gun was still pointing at Su Xiao, but the hoarse man had already bent down to pick up the test tube on the ground.
Picking up the test tube, the husky man pushed his thumb against the cork, brought the test tube to his nose and sniffed it.
"Die of organ erosion within a month, or drink it and gamble once, the choice is yours."
Su Xiao looked at the hoarse man with interest.
"I'm going to kill you suspicious guy first."
The hoarse man grinned, revealing a few yellow teeth.
After a few seconds, the husky man put away his smile, he raised his chin, and a girl in a green grass coat got up from the ground.
"I'm dead, shoot right away."
"Do you really want to drink this? You are crazy? ”
The girl in green grass was obviously a little surprised.
"I'm alive now, it's better to be dead, if it weren't for the shame of shooting myself in the jaw, I would have done it earlier."
The husky man jumped into the stall, dragged over a spotted cow, and poured some potion on it.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, the spotted cow was not dead, seeing this, the hoarse man ignored the cow saliva at the mouth of the test tube, and drank the medicine in a few sips.
The hoarse man didn't care about Su Xiao's origin, and he didn't care too much about whether he would die if he drank this potion, the burning feeling in his chest had almost tormented him crazy, and more than forty percent of the hunters in the shelter had similar problems, and there was nothing he could do.
"Ahem~"
The hoarse man felt discomfort in his throat, and he began to cough dryly one after another, and soon, he coughed up a large lump of blackened sputum.
"Whew, whew, whew......"
The hoarse man breathed heavily, tears and snot came out together, he felt very strange now, like coughing up the mucus blocked in the organs, this sense of relaxation made him want to lie on the ground, sleep without caring about anything, he has been 1 month, no, 1 month and 17 days have not slept well, sleep at most 3~4 hours a day, will be tormented by the burning sensation of the organs.
"Broken teeth, hey, talk, how are you."
The girl in the green grass dress spoke, ready to shoot at any moment.
The hoarse man wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, stood up from the ground, and came to Su Xiao.
"Doctor, please save my brother, as long as my brother recovers, I will be your dog in the future."
"Wang (not uncommon)."
Bu Bu Wang screamed at the hoarse man, that is, the broken teeth.
"Of course no problem, where is your brother."
Su Xiao was in a good mood, because blending into Vault 9 was much easier than he imagined, and the transcendents of this world would suffer huge side effects when using their abilities, that is, their organs would be eroded by energy.
Su Xiao thought that the situation of the broken tooth was just an accident, but after the other party said that his younger brother was also suffering from erosion, and that the green grass-clothed girl's liver was severely eroded, let Su Xiao know that this was a common problem for transcendents in this world.
"Please come with me."
Broken Tooth's attitude has changed drastically, yes, this is the law of the jungle on Siren, or rather, those who are capable will not be rejected wherever they go.
Following the march of the broken teeth, Su Xiao soon arrived at a large slum, no wonder Baha called this a slum, within a radius of several kilometers, full of tents made of wooden planks, and the higher buildings were made of iron sheets, and the top buildings were rusty.
Walking on the dirt road covered with garbage, Su Xiao saw a human in front of the tents on both sides, their clothes were tattered, unkempt, and the calluses on their hands indicated that the fields outside were cultivated by them.
Bang!
Blood splattered, and a meaty, pot-bellied butcher stood in front of the board, splitting a skinned animal's leg.
Several children with dirty faces stood nearby, staring at the pieces of raw meat without blinking.
"I've always been so merciful."
The butcher threw the shaved bones at the children, and was robbed in a frenzy, and this savage world has never been gentle to anyone.
"Doctor, we're on good ground."
Broken teeth spoke, looking at the children with interest, he was also like this when he was a child, no, it was more bitter than this, he couldn't meet such a kind butcher.
"Although it can't be compared to the big shelter like the Fireskull, there aren't many of us starving to death, so it's good to be alive."
Broken Tooth spoke out of the harsh environment that people were subjected to with an attitude of nonchalance.
"Here we are."
Broken Tooth stopped in front of a square underground entrance to a concrete structure, which was about a dozen meters wide and eight meters high, with a gentle slope and a cool breeze blowing from inside.
Walking into the underground entrance and entering more than thirty meters underground, Su Xiao found that there was a cave here.
Through a giant metal door, Su Xiao saw an underground city, most of the buildings here are stone + concrete, there are roads between the buildings that are enough for vehicles to pass, and huge light bulbs are hung above, as for the origin of electricity, it is likely to be magnetic electricity, which is the highest achievement developed by human beings before the catastrophe.
Obviously, this is Vault 9, and the slums above are coolies and victims.
As for why Vault 9 was built underground, this is very commonsense, how can humanity not learn a lesson from such a disaster a hundred years ago, it is based on the experience of tens of billions of people, in Siren, never live on the surface.
On the canopy of the shelter, metal pipes more than two meters thick are neatly arranged, which is a refrigeration device, even if the catastrophe strikes for the second time, it can keep the temperature underground not exceeding 20°C, and human beings will not succumb to natural disasters for the second time.
The huge exhaust fan blades turned, and an off-road chariot was on the underground street, speeding past Su Xiao and heading straight for the exit of the shelter.
"Doctor, over here."
Broken Tooth sent away the girl in green grass clothes, and gave the other party a potato, Broken Tooth tilted his head, and motioned for Su Xiao to go with him first.
"Call me Pharmacist, Holy Flame Pharmacist."
"Okay doctor, ahhh
Broken Tooth suddenly slapped himself, although this guy is thin and thin, but he is a ruthless man, and he even beats himself when he gets angry.
After walking for half an hour in the underground shelter, Su Xiao arrived at Broken Tooth's residence, which was much larger than he imagined.
Bang, bang, bang.
Broken teeth slapped their own door panels.
"Open the door, you bastard."
Broken Tooth showed an angry face, obviously, his attitude towards his own brother was not good, but even so, he still risked being executed by the leader and concealed Su Xiao's ability, because he knew that once it was made public, it was really unknown whether it would be his brother's turn to be healed.
The badly painted iron door was opened, and a teenager with heavy bags under his eyes stood inside the door, lifeless.
"You're not dead yet."
The gloomy boy spoke, sitting reflexively on a mechanical exoskeleton.
"You're not dead, how can I die."
Broken Tooth sneered.
"I'll tell you bad news," Broken Tooth said as he walked into his humble home, grabbing a kettle and pouring it on, a wooden table full of metal parts.
"What?"
The gloomy boy raised his eyes to look at the broken teeth.
"You don't have to die, but I will."
The well-drunk broken tooth breathed a sigh of relief.
“……”
The gloomy boy was stunned for a moment, and the next moment, the gloomy boy rushed forward, grabbed the collar of the broken tooth, and roared, "What are you kidding?" ”
The gloomy boy's face was trembling, and he knew that his brother was never joking.
"There are still 12 days of food left, and after I die, don't hate anyone, otherwise you won't live long."
Broken Tooth knelt down on one knee at Su Xiao as he spoke, raising the metal gun in his hand.
"Mr. Pharmacist, please, save my brother now, save it immediately."
Su Xiao glanced at the broken teeth, and then looked at the gloomy young man, the development of things became more and more interesting.
Bang!
The irons were knocked away, twisted to the ground, and a bloodstained figure was thrown into the room, it was the green-clothed girl from before.
"This gentleman, our chief is please."
A strong man wearing a mechanical exoskeleton and at least two meters tall walked into the room.
