Chapter 49: Getting to the Source

As soon as I approached the hallway, I felt a strong feeling of discomfort. Lu Buping and the others hurriedly took out Radiant Ning, and swallowed it one by one, only then did they barely adapt.

Mario, on the other hand, is a ghoul himself, a person who has been baptized by radiation. At this time, he stood there calmly, which made Levy envious.

Lu Buping calmed down and asked Mario beside him: "The amount of radiation in this location is very huge, and the depths of the corridor are the source of radiation for the entire shelter?" ”

"Yes, have you heard of the accident back then?" Mario asked rhetorically.

"Well, Mr. Bailey told me." Lu Buping knew that what he was talking about back then was that it was corroded here. The swamp outside the shelter eroded the walls of the third floor, and countless mutated insects and monsters rushed into the shelter. As a result, the third floor was abandoned, and it became a black swamp that everyone feared.

Mario continued, "Along this corridor, there is a dilapidated room. This is where the initial source of corrosion occurs, and where the radiation is highest in the entire Vault. Similarly, the purification room on the second floor and the dwelling of the god Hans on the first floor have been affected, and they are in the same location as here......"

As soon as Mario said this, he was grabbed by Lu Buping by the collar: "You said the abode of the god Hans!" ”

Mario, who was originally short, was lifted up by the whole person at this time, half-hanging in the air. "Yes, the great god Hans is on the first floor. Use the body of a god to stop the massive spread of radiation into the living quarters. ”

"." Lu Buping muttered.

Unexpectedly, Mario, who was only a promise before, became angry when he heard it, and stretched out his hand to fight with Lu Buping.

Lu Buping knew that he was speechless. The loyalty of these believers who have believed in the god Hans for a hundred years can be said to be extremely high, and Lu Buping still expects to get information from his mouth, and he is unwilling to quarrel with Mario over this matter.

"I'm sorry, I'm just coming up from the surface, and I really don't understand the situation." Lu Buping said: "Take this opportunity to talk to me about the Hans God, I will not be ridiculed if I join the Hans God in the future." ”

Seeing Lu Buping like this, Mario's expression also softened.

"No problem, Mr. Zhang San, just ask."

"You said that the god Hans is now in the interior of the first floor, which is above this corridor."

"Yes, the deepest part of this corridor to be exact, and on either side of the corridor are the places where the saints are located."

"Did Hans first show his miracle after the formation of the Black Swamp?"

"Yes, God Hans has mercy on us, and this is why he has come to the refuge."

"The industrial facilities in the living quarters were all moved in before the war, and the miracle of Hans was the screen and the saints, right?" Lu Buping asked.

"There's also an artifact, the device for recording images, which Mr. Garble takes with them when they go out exploring. The wisdom of the god Hans is unfathomable, and only the gods can make these things. Mario said proudly.

Lu Bu was calm, and it seemed that the video played at the prayer meeting was also taken by a transistor camera. The so-called god Hans was a genius inventor, if not a true god. As the saying goes, God is also a human being, but he has done things that cannot be done by humans. To a certain extent, the name of this god Hans is well deserved.

However, the body of this Hans god was actually on the first floor, which Lu Buping never expected. I don't know why Diana didn't mention it at the time. It seems that the secret of the so-called refuge will most likely fall on this Hans god, and he will have to go there no matter what.

Hearing this, Levi interjected curiously, "What was the shelter like before the Black Swamp incident, and did it also have a special prayer room?" ”

"This ...... I guess there is. ”

Levy was obviously not satisfied with this answer, and said: "What do you mean by yes, didn't you survive before the nuclear war, how can you not know." ”

Mario thought about it again, shook his head and said, "It's too old for me to remember." ”

"So what was life like before the nuclear war? I only heard my mother say it, and she also heard from her mother, and I heard that there was everything to eat and drink at that time. As long as you have money, you can do whatever you want. ”

"It's the same with money now." Lu Buping couldn't help but complain.

Mario patted his head and pondered, but finally gave up: "No, it's been too long, I can't remember it at all." ”

"Cut." Lévy pursed his lips and said bored.

After hearing this, Lu Buping lingered on Mario for a while, frowning slightly. Subconsciously, he felt that this kind of forgetting was not normal.

Levy didn't ask about a specific thing, just a general outline. Even if it's been a long time, you should keep some impressions. Could it be the ghoul constitution and the side effects of forgetfulness?

But this is not a big deal for Lu Buping, at most it is a little strange.

Now Lu Buping just wants to quickly finish exploring this place and return to the first floor. The abode of the god Hans, that's where the main thing is.

With this in mind, Lu Buping and the two of them informed themselves and prepared to enter it.

The original intention was to let Mario go ahead and explore the way, but he didn't want to live or die, so the three had to walk side by side.

The three of them gradually approached the source, and the deeper they went, the stronger the radiation became. If it weren't for the fact that he had taken radiant in advance, he was afraid that the two humans would have been burned to death. Even so, Lu Buping still felt the burning sensation in his skin gradually strengthen, his chest rose and fell violently, and his breathing became rapid.

A few mutated plants can be found at the entrance to the hallway, but there is no grass growing here. From time to time, white bones were seen on both sides of the corridor, scattered all over the ground at the slightest touch.

"These bones are human beings who died when the swamp first eroded." Mario said. In the face of such a high intensity of radiation, even his ghoul body was a little overwhelmed.

"More than 100 years ago? Why didn't it be cleaned up. Lu Buping asked.

Mario smiled: "No one dares to come in." The Black Swamp is already dangerous, and here it is even more dangerous. If I hadn't known that the swamp crab had been killed, I wouldn't have come here. Those who were sent here were the sworn enemies of the agents, and it would be good if they could survive, who would want to take care of the bones on the ground.

Besides, there are no useful supplies in the entire Black Swamp, there is no shortage of food and drink in the living quarters on the first floor, and the agent cannot organize people to risk their lives. ”

"No, we found this." Lu Buping shook the radiant pill box in his hand and said, "Even if you don't need the medicine, this can be used as a bargaining chip for exchange." The guns of my guardians are probably all traded with surface forces. How can such a valuable thing be a useless material? ”

"Hehe, Mr. Zhang San doesn't know. Do you see the water purifier in the living area? A bottle of pure water on the surface can be exchanged for a shotgun. The supply of pure water in our shelters is endless. If it weren't for the fear of someone on the surface of the earth plotting against him, the Hans Divine Society's forces would have been more than a refuge long ago.

These medicines are very bad for us ghouls, and trading them only increases the strength of others. So, unless there is a special need, none of the Vault residents care about these little pills. ”

"I see." Lu Buping promised on his lips, but his heart was alive.

This black swamp may be a treasure trove for itself. Before, I carefully dodged the monsters, and I was able to find some potions. Now that the entire Black Swamp is like no one, isn't it about to make a profit?

Do you risk your life to go to the first floor to find the body of the god Hans first, or do you want to scavenge in the black swamp and go back after you have enough supplies? It's really hard to choose......

Lu Buping thought about it beautifully, and Mario beside him spoke: "Mr. Zhang San, this is it, we have arrived." ”

When I looked up, I saw a dilapidated room in front of me. The rotting desk and broken lamp make it vaguely recognizable that it was once an office. A huge hole in the wall must be the source of the corrosion.

The ground was covered with a layer of green unknown liquid, which flipped out a few bubbles from time to time, expanding and cracking. The smell of the liquid is hard to describe, and it is difficult to breathe just by getting close.

Lu Buping looked at the ground and frowned, this place was even more deserted than expected. Whether he can find useful information, Lu Buping is a little unsure.

"This thing is poisonous." Levi said with a pinch of his nose.

"It's true that you can't get close to it easily." Lu Buping nodded slightly.

After hearing this, Mario said suspiciously, "Then didn't we come for nothing?" Do you think it's ......?"

Before he could finish speaking, Mario turned his head to see two humans looking at him in unison.

"No, two masters, I ......"

"What am I, just you as a ghoul here can enter safely, do you still expect me and Mr. Zhang San." Levy had a gun in his hand, and he was visibly much tougher.

Lu Buping didn't say anything, just looked at him. It looked like Mario was uncomfortable.

Finally, in desperation, Mario gritted his teeth and stepped into the abandoned room.

Mario's sole stepped on the green liquid, and after a while, there was a "zila" sound, and white smoke began to emit and was rapidly corroded.

"My god Hans!" Mario jumped to his feet and was about to run back, but when he turned around, he saw Lu Buping's sharp eyes, and he fell down instantly.

"Stomp!" Lu Buping picked up two heavy planks from the ground and slid them to Mario's feet.

"Start at the edge of the south wall and work your way in. Take out something valuable, faster. Lu Buping shouted.

Mario stepped on the plank as he spoke, and from time to time liquid splashed onto his skin and burned a spot. Fortunately, the ghouls don't care, and if they were humans, they would have been in pain for a long time and couldn't move.

I searched for a while, but I couldn't find anything useful. Except for rotten wood, which is scrap metal. The patience of all three was exhausted. Lu Buping felt that the pressure in his body was getting stronger and stronger, and it seemed that the effect of the medicine was about to arrive, so he hurriedly supplemented one pill with Levi. There were only the last two pieces left in their hands, and if they didn't get anything in a short time, they had to leave.

Fortunately, surprises always come out of nowhere.
