Volume 1: The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 15

The unique sound of the hydraulic machinery echoed through the deep cave, and then a large cloud of steam poured out from the exhaust duct hidden behind the rock, and the gear-shaped gate, which was three meters in diameter and shone with a cyan glow of high-strength alloy steel, slowly sank into the mountain, retracted a full meter, and then rolled sideways, retracting into the mountain wall, revealing a deep passage.

Although the light was dim, Su could see through the steam several weapon terminals hidden in the mountain and hanging from the ceiling at the end of the passage. The main attack system visible from the terminal is a miniature automatic machine gun, and the angle at which the swarthy barrels are pointed is very particular, and if you calculate the landing point, you will find that the fire net tightly seals the entire passage. There are also two different lenses on the top, and the appearance should be visible and infrared sensors. In the old days, such defenses were superior, but now that tough species are emerging that can withstand micro-machine gun fire, the old weapon terminals are clearly outdated.

"Hey! Turner! It's great to see you back in its entirety! ”

As soon as the group walked out of the aisle, a large black man who was two meters tall walked up and gave Turner a strong hug.

Turner returned an equally powerful hug and said, "If it's not Sue, it's not a question of whether or not you can come back in full." You can only churn our scum from the dung of the rotting wolf, if anything. ”

The black man followed Turner's gaze and saw Sue standing at the back of the line. He strode over, stretched out his hand, showed a mouthful of white teeth, and smiled, "My name is Tony!" He is the logistics supervisor of Base N11. You saved Turner, that's my friend, welcome to the N11 base! ”

After a simple scan and quarantine, the soldiers who had been on duty for more than half a month were disbanded in situ and returned to their respective residences to repair. Sue was treated to a high standard for his exploits in saving the entire Turner team and for his hunter and mercenary license issued by Payne & Co., not only did she have a separate room, but she could also procure supplies at the base's internal prices.

The N11 base is not large, with only more than 400 residents inside, and since there is no extra space, in recent years, not only has the verification of residency qualifications been strict to the point of being almost harsh, but even the number and standard of accepting foreign guests have also made specific and cumbersome regulations.

In the old days, the N11 base was one of the many anti-nuclear, biological, and chemical shelters, and the area was designated N11. In terms of size, it is a miniature shelter, but it has all the internal water, food, defense, medical and air cleaning systems. In any country, a shelter that can defend against a nuclear war and has full self-survivability will not be intended for civilians, the equipment inside is of course advanced and will be changed regularly.

When the war broke out without warning, the N11 Vault was not even activated, and none of the powerful and wealthy people with access to the Vault could reach the Vault in time. When the automated defense mechanism was activated and the N11 Vault closed itself, there were only sixteen personnel responsible for routine maintenance.

It took a long fifteen years for the vault to reopen according to the set procedures. By this time, the old era had been buried under endless ruins, and a new era of turmoil had just awakened.

The N11 base replaced the N11 Vault, just as the new era replaced the old.

Sue closed her eyes and let the powerful currents wash over her body as she replayed a brief history of the N11 base in her head. The base is fully functional, and is divided into four parts: living quarters, logistics areas, military areas, and central control areas. There is an emergency exit at the rear of the base, and outside is a naturally formed cavern that is said to lead to the abandoned subway network several kilometers away. And those underground passages have long been a paradise for many dangerous creatures. So on the N11 base map, the area is marked "Danger" in bold red.

The short shower only lasted two minutes, and it had already cost Su a full fifty yuan, which was still the price of the base. The currency of the new era is not the same as the old era, and the only coins that can be circulated and difficult to counterfeit are the coins. Therefore, fifty yuan is an unbearable amount for ordinary people, even for the residents of the base. Even if money is not a problem, the shower time should not be too long, although the water used for showering has been treated, the radiation has been greatly reduced, but it is far from reaching the point of drinking water, and it will cause irreparable damage to the body after a long time. Despite all the restrictions and the high cost of bathing, being able to take a shower is still the proudest perk of the base's residents.

The flow of water on the sprinkler head quickly decreases and eventually stops. The last drop of water fell reluctantly, popping up a small splash on the smooth skin on his shoulder, and then flowing down the silky curve of his skin. However, only up to the waist, the drop has completely disappeared and is absorbed into the skin.

So when the shower was over, Sue had almost no water on his body, and he simply wiped his body and wrapped a bandage around his body. He had carefully inspected the room and made sure there weren't any detection devices, and no one was likely to notice that the shower was a few gallons less. After all, this is just undrinkable circulating water.

After a self-check in the shower, the next step is to check the guns, ammunition stock, money on the body, and then draw up a plan of action for the next stage and replenish the supplies needed for the operation. This is what Su always does when he arrives in a new habitat.

There are still quite a few ordinary heavy machine gun rounds used in modified rifles, but only three handmade special bullets remain. This must be made up to more than twenty rounds. The modified revolver used an old-era 5.56mm rifle cartridge, which is not hard to find, and the base should be in good supply and at a fair price.

"Only 110 yuan?" Su counted the coins one by one, and her good-looking eyebrows wrinkled slightly. This amount of money may only be enough to replenish water and ammunition, and it is far from his goal: the RF series rifles produced by the Catrovin Company. As an entry-level product for the new era of firearms, the benchmark model of the RF series rifle costs 3,000 yuan, and the various additional subsystems are even more expensive than the rifle itself. A primary genetic modification agent produced by a large company that can provide a complete evolution point costs 10,000 yuan, which is still a general-purpose drug. And those formula drugs that have stable effects, mature dosage forms, and can directly produce specific abilities, even the lowest price is at least several times that of general-purpose drugs.

Agility is one of the most important qualities for survival in the wild, and no one wants to carry tens of thousands of coins across the wilderness. Various companies and organizations are also developing their own credit bureaus and even issuing banknotes and credit cards. However, they face the same problem, don't expect your competitors to admit your creditworthiness. Gradually, in this era without banks, barter became the main means of exchange, guns, weapons, ammunition, can become semi-universal currency, and genetically modified drugs have actually become some kind of large denomination currency. Of course, this currency is very fragile and does not last long.

Sue's bag was very simple, a standard military water bottle, bullet pouch, and a glove bag only ten centimeters long and five centimeters wide to hold money, medicine, and other miscellaneous items. These things can be easily hung on the belt without affecting movement. Whether you're a hunter or a mercenary, less weight often means more chances of survival.

Su grabbed a piece of paper casually, drew a pattern with a few strokes, marked the corresponding data, and then went out.

Following the signs on the walls of the passage, Su easily found the logistics area. Several of the residents he met along the way were all actively greeting him, and for them, the young man with pale blond hair was just dressed strangely, but not to mention the superior ability of his third-order sniper, not to mention the license issued by Payne's company, just the beautiful left eye full of mysterious charm, which was enough to offset the effect of the bandage on his body.

Finally entering the military area, Su saw a big black man busy in the middle of a pile of guns.

"Tony, can you make some bullets for me?" Sue handed over the drawings.

With a sweep of his hand, Tony cleared a space on the workbench full of gun parts and laid out the drawings. He only glanced at it, then grinned and said in surprise, "Hey! The recoil of this bullet can crush your shoulder! Maybe only mutants and those who have strengthened their defenses would dare to use this thing. ”

"Twenty rounds." Sue's blue eyes showed a distinct smile, and he liked the straightforwardness and simplicity of the big man.

"Well, twenty rounds. Anyway, you third-order guys are all perverts. Tony muttered, estimated the materials, and stretched out his hand to Su: "Ninety yuan and a day's time, it can't be cheaper." ”

For non-standard ammunition that needs to be made entirely by hand, this price is indeed very fair, and Sue did not hesitate to pay most of his fortune.

After collecting the money, Tony still stared at Sue's shoulder, he couldn't imagine how this thin, slender shoulder could withstand such a ferocious recoil. People who have undergone genetic modification for both enhanced defense and enhanced strength have very distinct characteristics, and their common characteristics are overdeveloped muscles and thick bones. Obviously, whether it is a slightly thin body or a height of 179 cm, Su has nothing to do with these enhancements.

Tony shook his head, deciding not to bother with such a question that would surely not be answered. In his mind, no matter what aspect he has evolved to the third order, he is a pervert, of course, this does not include himself. Tony's third order is the Gun Transformation specialization, which belongs to the category of auxiliary ability domains, which are not the same as the five major ability domains that are more inclined to combat ability.
