"Warning: The gyroscope of the balance system is damaged, and the balance system of the power armor is out of function......"

"Warning: Damaged back armor, 18% reduction in protection."

"Warning: Left shoulder damage enlarged, coolant leakage 50 percent ......"

"Warning: The mechanical joint of the left ankle is damaged again, and the automatic repair is forced to stop, please replace the spare part manually."

……

The built-in brain of the power armor constantly emitted alarm sounds, and the VR screen showed the damage of the entire power armor - I saw that about 30% of the parts of the power armor had become red representing "completely scrapped and needed to be replaced with new parts", and the orange color representing "seriously damaged and unable to repair itself" also occupied more than half.

Those grenades were specially made to deal with armored targets, and with the bumps and bumps that rolled down from the top of the cave, the Type 33 power armor was already in a very bad condition.

And Qi Lin, who was in this power armor, although he turned on the metallization state in time, the shock wave generated by the explosion still shocked him.

After lying on the ground for more than ten seconds, Qi Lin barely recovered his breath.

Shaking his still dizzy head, he tried to get up from the ground, but at this time, he found that the damaged joints of the power armor were completely stuck, and he couldn't even bend and extend his knees.

"Damn...... It's a shame ......."

It took a lot of effort for Qi Lin to use brute force to directly lift the cover plate on the chest of the power armor, and drill out from the inside of the power armor, which was already unable to move.

"Here...... Where is it? The bottom of that cave? ”

Looking around the cave, it is supposed to be under the foundation of the Herlens power station, and the surrounding cave walls are no longer artificial concrete foundations, but the hard permafrost peculiar to the Mongolian plateau, which is hard enough to compare with the hard limestone rock formations, and it will undoubtedly take astronomical manpower and material resources to dig tunnels or caves in such places.

Where Qi Lin is now located is an unnaturally formed tunnel, the tunnel is generally an irregular oval, and there are obvious traces of corrosion and dissolution on the tunnel wall.

"Is this the monster's lair?"

Qi Lin looked back at the cave he had fallen into, the slope of the cave had reached more than sixty degrees, it was very steep, and the depth was about two hundred to three hundred meters, and it was very difficult to return from the original way. Moreover, even if Qi Lin climbed up with all his might, those who were going to kill him might be standing at the edge of the hole, waiting for Qi Lin to run into their guns.

As far as the current situation is concerned, it is impossible for Qi Lin to get back what belongs to him, he can't even return to the ground.

Since you can't go back the way you came, you can only go forward.

Qi Lin checked the equipment in his hand - a Type 33 power armor (scrapped), a GS-03 Gauss pistol, 41 rounds of 2.5mm electromagnetic bullets, an FMG9 folding submachine gun, 90 rounds of 9mm Parabellum pistol rounds, and two M84 shock rounds.

The heavy scrapped power armor can only be thrown here, Qi Lin originally wanted to remove the weapon of this three-three type power armor and bring it on, but he tried his best and failed to activate the weapon system of this power armor, so he could only give up.

According to the standard configuration of the Type 33 power armor, there should be two folding 5.56 mm on the inside of the arm armor, which are fed by metal hard magazines, and on the back of the power armor, there is a small honeycomb rocket launcher, if Qi Lin can use these weapons, he will not be forced to jump into this cave.

Filling the empty Gauss pistol magazine with bullets, Qi Lin held the Gauss pistol in one hand and the FMG9 in the other, and began to slowly move towards the depths of the cave.

……

If this cave is indeed the lair of the monster above, then there must be some other exit elsewhere - there is nothing for the monster to feed on in this hard tundra, even if it feeds on radiant energy, and the place where it has been contaminated by radiation from a nuclear attack is on the surface, not hundreds of meters underground.

Merely...... Why is it that the further you go, the higher the concentration of radiation in your surroundings?

Thick rock formations and soil have always been the best barrier to isolate radiation - shelters in the real world are generally only about 100 meters to 150 meters from the ground, and those super large shelters that go deep underground will not be more than 500 meters deep, but mostly at a depth of about 300 meters, and those ultra-small shelters located within 50 meters of the shallow surface of the earth actually have a good protection against radiation.

Generally speaking, a soil layer of about 30 meters, a concrete layer with a thickness of more than 2 meters, plus a layer of lead plate and a layer of water, can perfectly resist radiation from the outside world.

And here in Qilin, although there is no lead layer and water layer, there is a 200-meter-thick permafrost layer, and even if a hole is opened, the radiation concentration here should not be so high...... Right?

"Could it be that I'm wrong? Isn't the radiation here coming from the reactor of the nuclear power plant overhead? ”

Qi Lin glanced at the ambient radiation concentration displayed on the brain—only one of the few functions that the brain retained after the third stage was opened—and saw that the radiation concentration in the tunnel was 89 at the moment, which was even higher than the radiation concentration in the surrounding environment of the Hellens power station.

The radiation here does not come from the nuclear fuel rods in the reactor that are exposed to the air...... Even, these radiations may not have anything to do with humans at all!

Thinking that the monster fed on radiant energy, Qi Lin suddenly had a bold guess about this underground tunnel.

"Here...... Isn't there a ...... What humans have not discovered...... Uranium ore veins, right? ”

Although the mastermind says that the environment in the game world is all a replica of the real world earth, it is obviously a lie - due to the presence of the player, the wasteland in the game world has long been very different from the real surface, and it is impossible for the two to be completely consistent, or even generally consistent.

In other words, even if there is a uranium vein under the Hellens power station, it is not impossible at all, after all, for the mastermind, the existence of a uranium vein is just a series of numbers composed of 0 and 1.
