Seeing Garble leave, Lu Buping also breathed a sigh of relief, his tense right arm relaxed, and secretly said that he was lucky. The situation just now was very dangerous, and if it weren't for the timely arrival of Diananna, I am afraid that she would really have to confront Garble head-on, which is the best of the best strategies.

At this time, Levy was still kneeling on the ground, and the shoe prints and soup marks on his body testified to the victim's humiliation.

Lu Buping stretched out his hand to pull him up. Levy's expression was low, as if he was crying and laughing, and he barely said thank you, and then pushed away the crowd and ran away.

Lu Buping didn't care, no one would be happy if they were insulted like this. Lu Buping is not a confidant sister, and he has no heart to give him psychological counseling. At this point, it's best to let him calm down on his own for a while.

Seeing the end of the conflict, the surrounding residents had no intention of leaving, and waited to see the excitement. The recreation of this shelter is so lacking that it is hard to have some fun, and the residents don't want to let it go. This human who dares to confront Mr. Garble will also be the talk of the town for a while.

Diana didn't want to be watched as a monkey, so she motioned for her escort to disperse the crowd, and she came to Lu Buping.

"It was my negligence," said Diana, "that Garble came back sooner than I expected. That's what makes the two of you bullied by them. ”

Speaking the word "bully", Diana recently showed a meaningful smile, apparently thinking of the ghoul who was kicked away and Garble who was deflated.

They originally wanted to take the opportunity to trouble Lu Buping and the others, and then embarrass Diana. Now it was dissolved by Lu Buping and devoured himself.

Diana, as an opponent, was naturally refreshed.

"Thank you, Ms. Diana. If you hadn't shown up in time, we'd be in trouble. Lu Buping expressed his gratitude to her, and then asked with a straight face: "Will Garble really shoot me in public?" ”

Diana put away her smile and said with a serious expression: "Although I don't want to admit it, Garble is really crazy. In his eyes, he did the right thing, and if he did hurt you, he wouldn't have much pressure, so I don't know if he would shoot. ”

Lu Buping nodded slightly in understanding.

Diana continued, "But one thing I'm sure is that this won't end there, and Garble will be going to trouble you again." I'm responsible for the entire Vault, and I can't protect you two all the time. If you encounter a problem that cannot be solved, you have to find a way to get to the area where the saints are, and no one dares to do anything there. ”

The Saints area naturally refers to places where wild ghouls are kept in captivity, where the Vault is taboo.

"Okay, that's all I can say, take care of yourself." Diana glanced at Lu Buping meaningfully.

"Thank you, I'll go first." Lu Buping turned around and walked in the direction where Levy disappeared.

Back in the lounge area, Levy was curled up in a corner, burying his head between his arms.

Lu Buping wanted to talk to him, but he didn't respond to two gentle touches, so he lay down on his own.

Time passed little by little, and the number of people in the rest area gradually increased. Residents returned to rest after a long day of work and play.

People kept their distance from Lu Buping and whispered about the interesting things that happened today.

After waiting for a long time, the lights in the rest area turned off by themselves. There is no natural light in this underground facility, and the difference between day and night is all determined by the light.

In the dark, Lu Buping looked out, and some guards in the corridor were patrolling with guns. They carry dim flashlights in their hands, saying that patrols are more like leisurely shopping. It has been in operation for two hundred years, and there have been only a handful of special events.

The defense here is really lax, Lu Buping thought to himself. If it weren't for Garble's trouble, he might have been able to sneak out tonight to gather information. It's a pity that I've just dealt with Garble now, and I'm in the center of the Vault. At this time, there is a great chance that casual actions will be exposed, so it is better to endure for a while before carrying out covert actions.

And so the day passed.

The next day, with the sound of the radio, the residents got up one after another to start a new day's work.

Lu and his wife were also assigned to the production area to start planting potatoes, and the vegetables here have been mutated to become very high-yielding. The maturation period, which used to take three to four months, has been shortened to one week, which also ensures the needs of thousands of residents.

I worked like this for two days in a row. Lu Buping seemed to be integrating into the lives of the residents, working, eating, praying, and resting, looking nothing unusual.

In fact, he took the opportunity to start wandering around the shelter. The map detection range of the beep boy is about 200 meters, which means that even if there are some places that he can't reach by himself, the map will be displayed completely.

One of the things that is of concern is the area where the mad ghoul is located, Lu Buping secretly went there once, and found that the detection map was not fully displayed at all. In other words, it is much deeper than expected, but the further you go, the higher the radiation uptake. The number on the beep boy kept going crazy, and for the sake of his own safety, he gave up.

Levy has obviously been in poor shape in the past two days, and he is originally a person who is willing to talk and is good at talking. For two whole days, he didn't say a word and had a gloomy face, and he went back to rest after finishing his work, and it seemed that he had hit things too hard before.

The change occurred on the third day. On this day, just as Lu Buping and the others were about to go to work, a heavily armed ghoul came to the two.

"On the orders of Mr. Garble, the two of you have been assigned to the Black Swamp to carry out excavation work. For one year, no rotation allowed! The ghoul shouted.

Lu Buping had heard about the Black Swamp before, and the guy who found fault was arranged there by Garble. Just by the name, you know how dangerous it is.

"Human, Mr. Garble has a special word for you. He has the right to arrange the work of the residents, this is the rule. The ghoul looked at Lu Buping and smiled sadly.

As she spoke, Diana also walked in with the escort.

"Ms. Diana, what's going on?" Lu Buping asked.

Diana frowned, gritted her teeth, and said, "This is Gayber's bastard's revenge, but he does have the right to do so." ”

The heavily armed ghoul looked at Diana, "Ma'am, Mr. Garble has asked me to tell you that digging up the Black Swamp is also an important job. These two humans want to gain our trust, and whatever they should do, for the sake of Hans! ”

The ghoul was clearly Garble's confidant, and even when he looked at Diana, he looked at her defiantly.

"I don't need you to teach me," cried Diana, "Bailey, you take them with you." ”

"Yes," said one of the convoys.

"Okay, Bailey will tell you about the situation in the Black Swamp on the way, and you will be safe for the rest." Diana finished and left.

"Please." The cronies stretched out their hands in a weird manner, and made a gesture of invitation.

The guard Bailey ignored him, said a word to Lu Buping and the two to follow, and took the lead out of the rest area. Along the way, Bailey shared his information with Lu Buping and the others.

Vault 118 was built before the war and was originally designed to be divided into three floors.

Originally, each floor had production areas, residential areas, etc., which could accommodate more than 3,000 people at most.

At that time, there were no such creatures as ghouls, and the inhabitants were all humans. Moved here during the outbreak of war, safely awaiting the arrival and end of the final battle.

But nuclear weapons have been dropped far more than people think, and shelters are not immune. Nuclear radiation seeped into the shelters, and the prolonged radiation turned people into ghouls.

Even so, people still hold on to this three-story underground fortress, after all, this is already a paradise compared to the outside world.

Unbeknownst to the crowd, not far from the shelter, a wasteland had been blasted into a huge crater. Decades passed after the war, and the surface climate was greatly affected by radiation, and the radiation rain continued uninterruptedly. The soil of the crater became extremely corrosive, forming a radiation swamp.

Finally, one day, it eroded the walls of the third floor of the vault. Countless mutated insects and monsters rushed into the shelter and began to slaughter with impunity, causing heavy casualties among the unsuspecting residents.

The survivors were forced to abandon the last layer and begin to hold on to the second layer, still losing to the mutants. Eventually, they returned to the first level, which is where the inhabitants now live, which completely blocked them. The original 3,000 inhabitants were also reduced to more than 1,000.

It wasn't until a few more years later, when the monsters had evacuated most of them due to lack of food, that the two floors below were reopened.

However, some creatures still live here tenaciously, such as giant cockroaches.

The cost of exterminating cockroaches is too great, and people have adapted to living on the first level. As a result, the lower two floors were abandoned, and people were occasionally sent down to collect supplies.

Garble's faction found several locations with high levels of radiation and named them "clean rooms". It's actually about killing. There is only one person in ten who can truly transform into a ghoul and return to the first layer of life.

The so-called black swamp refers to the third layer that was initially corroded.
