Less than an hour after leaving, it was a hundred times more difficult to find something to eat in the food warehouse.

But this is also a very easy thing to understand, on the way back, Jimmy and Sheldon deliberately went to several life support rooms to check the statistics, each life support room has 9 rows of shelves, and each shelf is divided into upper, middle and lower 3 layers, each floor is 3 life support cabins, that is to say, the players in each life support room are 81, this floor from 50 to 59 has a total of 10 life support rooms, that is, there are 810 players on this floor alone.

The vast majority of the 810 players chose to rush to the food warehouse to fill their stomachs in the first place, and you can imagine how hard it would be for so many hungry people to loot. It's like the crate of chocolates that Jimmy found before, but now it's completely empty.

As far as the eye can see, the two or three rows of boxes under all the shelves have basically been opened, and the mess of rotten food is scattered all over the ground, and every box with edible food is clean and empty.

Fortunately, the warehouse is large enough and the shelves are high enough, and there are still some boxes that have not been opened on the upper floors of some of the shelves near the warehouse.

So Sheldon watched the two of them underneath their backpacks, and Jimmy climbed up and down on his own, rummaging through boxes and cabinets on the high shelves.

At this time, it was far less relaxed and comfortable than before, because most of the food had been spoiled, many times, Jimmy worked hard to climb up and open a whole row of boxes, but he also found nothing, so he could only climb down again.

Moreover, he was not the only one who climbed the shelves, there were hundreds of people who did not go to the equipment warehouse, and for some unknown reason, they also crawled from shelf to shelf, searching for food to eat, and Jimmy had to face their competition.

There is no way, there are all yellow-skinned and black-haired Chinese people on the other side, Jimmy and Sheldon, two white people, who are alone, and when they meet someone who chooses the same frame as themselves, they can only choose to avoid and find a new target.

Time passed, Jimmy was tired and sweaty, and Sheldon had been on the shelves a dozen times, and the two finally found some food and water.

The food is strange, there are colorful fruit candy, there are small bags of yellowed rice grains, there are large dry bags of vacuum-packed oats, and there are black jerky that is as hard as metal, because the shelves for drinking water are the priority of everyone's search, so the drinking water is less found, only 8 bottles, and half of them have a strange smell, fortunately the taste is not strong, barely able to eat.

After packing the hard-earned food in their bags, the two of them did not stay any longer, continued to drag their backpacks, and left the food warehouse in the eyes of other Chinese players.

"Where to go next? What kind of vertical corridor is that? Walking out of the warehouse, Jimmy began to discuss with Sheldon.

"yes, or not? We're underground now, we have to go to the surface. Sheldon was puzzled.

"However, it didn't say that it was underground, and it didn't say that we had to go to the surface......" Jimmy looked a little helpless: "This damn game, there is not even an NPC, it's okay to post a mission at random, I hate the feeling of not having a clear goal." ”

……

While discussing, the two of them walked towards the [Main Vertical Corridor].

It was still the T-shaped intersection, but this time the two chose to turn left, and after walking for about 200 meters, at the end of the road, a small door appeared on the wall on the right.

Although the small door is only compared with the previous food warehouse and equipment warehouse, it is actually more than three meters high and more than two meters wide, and a jeep can drive it.

The door was closed, and next to it was a round black LCD screen the size of a human head, and I don't know what it was for.

After thinking about it, Jimmy walked over, reached out his hand, and tapped on the LCD screen.

With a "tick", the black LCD screen lit up, and a dotted line appeared on it, the outline of the palm, and a line of Chinese characters on it:

"Please authenticate"

Still need to verify? What does this identity mean? How many levels are there?

Puzzled, Jimmy reached out a hand and pressed his entire palm into the outline.

A red light swept from the bottom to the top in the outline, and then an electronic voice sounded:

"Number TH05826, Identity: Normal Member, Detection Completed, Allowed to Pass."

Then the gate split in the middle and opened from the left and right.

The lights gradually lit up, allowing the two of them to see the inside clearly, it was a slightly curved wall, and a wide staircase, which went down and up, and there was a lot of dust on it.

"Just a staircase......" Sheldon's voice looked a little disappointed.

"Doesn't that confirm your suspicions? We are underground. Jimmy smiled and stepped inside.

The door remained open, and Sheldon walked in without checking in.

When they walked in, they realized that this staircase was a little different from what they had imagined.

It was curly, it spiraled upwards, and it encircled the wall that looked a little crooked.

To put it simply, it's like a very thick pillar surrounded by thin ribbons, and the thickness of this pillar is amazing.

At this time, Jimmy realized that the ten living rooms before them were not actually on a straight line, but together with the two warehouses, around this big pillar, this [main vertical corridor]!

It was simply because the corridor was long enough that they thought it was a straight line, but it was actually curved!

The two of them continued to hold their backpacks and went up the stairs.

Fortunately, only 80% of the middle of this staircase is a staircase, and about 10% of each side is an inclined plane, and the two of them can completely put their backpacks on this inclined plane and drag them without having to carry them hard.

After walking for a while, suddenly, Sheldon shouted, "I know what this slope is for!" ”

"What's it for?" Jimmy was puzzled.

"Look here!" Sheldon pointed in one direction.

It was in the middle of the inclined plane, and there was a shallow groove that was covered in dust, so you couldn't see it until you looked closely.

"This is a track that transports large equipment!" Sheldon explained: "Look at these grooves, it's obviously deeper, and there's a small opening, which is fixed!" Didn't there be a couple of big guys in the equipment warehouse before? They all have moving wheels underneath them, and aren't these wheels just right enough to get stuck in this little opening? ”

Jimmy looked at it carefully and had to admit that Sheldon had a point.

Come to think of it, those big devices can't stay underground forever, right? Otherwise, if you collect resources from the surface, won't you have to work hard to transport them? It's better to transfer the machine to the ground to be used.

The two walked for a while, and suddenly a platform four or five meters long appeared in front of the stairs, and on the other wall of this platform, there was a door that was exactly the same as the previous small door, and there was a big number on the door: 4.
