Chapter 42: The Penguin Bar Below the Sewers
This new technology, Wang Yonghao wants it anyway, but now he is shy in his pocket, and he can't take on this task.
He pretended to turn around and leave, as if he had forgotten that he was the one who was anxious about the next two science and technology.
But this ape scientist Eliot didn't see Wang Yonghao's pretense, after all, it was really not easy for this person to find a person who could help him complete the experiment.
Originally, the ape-man scientist Eliot's experimental target was the penguin breeder.
But when the penguin keeper was blind in one eye, lame in one leg, put on an eye patch, and put on a wooden prosthesis.
There is no suitable fighter left to help him in his mission.
Fortunately, he met Wang Yonghao, how could he let go? Naturally, they are in hot pursuit.
However, Wang Yonghao now has other thoughts in his heart, he has obtained a total of three reward packages, and he hasn't opened them to see what is inside.
Counting the manipulator model he had just acquired, he had amassed four manipulator models, four blank tech cards, and a whole bunch of various blueprints from the previous Erches Crystal Pit.
Now it's time to sort out all these useless things on his body and exchange them for money, plus he doesn't have enough silver bars of his own.
Mining, or continuing to find opportunities to open boxes, can be said to be the only solution to the current situation.
He'd certainly be willing to get his hands on all three, and he'd be able to get at least two more manipulator models here.
So Wang Yonghao didn't say anything to death, but the ape-man scientist Eliot obviously didn't want to give too much.
I don't know how this guy suddenly calmed down, and when Wang Yonghao was about to leave, this guy was almost ready to take out a manipulator model again.
But all of a sudden, it stopped.
Wang Yonghao didn't stay, just looked at this guy with his peripheral vision, and simply walked out of the airtight cabin that opened automatically.
Going back down to the first floor, Wang Yonghao planned to return to the primordial planet through the central console of the ancient ruins to collect the items needed for the mission.
However, he also thought that he should go back and see what kind of function the ship that had been repaired was now.
At least he knew what the function of his ship was. Where can you go?
However, Wang Yonghao, who was a little lazy, still wanted to do these things well one by one, so he turned off his plan to go back to the spaceship to take a look.
Seeing that there was nothing to do, I walked down the stairs to the first floor of this entire outpost.
Looking at the overcrowded canteen, Wang Yonghao suddenly felt a little hungry.
It's right to think about it, I was tossing and turning in two copies in a row before, and I tossed for so long, so everyone should be hungry.
Seeing that there is a cafeteria, it is really hard to swallow when he looks at the food he makes, such as baked potatoes and baked tomatoes.
Some of them follow the locals and try the snacks here, but this canteen is packed with people like canned sardines!
Wang Yonghao was standing between the two airtight cabins on this floor, hesitating between whether to go to the canteen for a meal or cook by himself.
But when it was time for lunch, there were many natives of the outpost fighting, passing by him and walking vertically downwards towards the underground of the outpost.
Wang Yonghao seemed to remember something, but he couldn't remember clearly, after all, this game had never been played like this!
After taking a look at the crowded cafeteria, he gritted his teeth and decided not to eat there!
The space filled with the smell of sweat and the smell of foreign races is estimated to contain that strange smell even if the food is taken away.
It's really not interesting.
Wang Yonghao became curious, so he also followed those who went down to the ground and walked down this corridor.
He seemed to feel that there should be a place to solve the problem of eating for the natives below, at least he walked down from top to bottom, and he really didn't find out who brought his own food, which means that these people must need to eat.
The road goes down without any lights at all!
In the darkness, Wang Yonghao could only rely on the flashlight in the hands of the person walking beside him to illuminate his feet.
He didn't do anything out of the ordinary, he just slipped around with these people, didn't even take out his own flashlight, and walked down with the help of other people's light.
After descending about fifty or sixty meters into this completely metalized corridor, the vertical corridor finally came to an end.
At the end of the vertical corridor is a horizontal corridor running east-west, and as soon as the passage lands, you will see an airtight chamber that opens automatically to the west.
There was still no light in the vicinity, as if it was a dark underground corridor.
In Wang Yonghao's opinion, if this can be regarded as the negative floor building of the entire outpost, it is better to say that this is the sewer of the entire outpost.
Compared to the urban layout, this 50-meter-deep horizontal passage across the ground really resembles a sewer.
And its course is exactly the same as that of the outpost above as a whole.
In the basement or sewer, you can see that the damp and patina-colored metal pipes are swirling overhead.
There is also the sound of rumbling water in the pipe, and the air in the entire passage is very humid, although there is no obvious odor, but with his Wang Yonghao's sense of smell, he can still smell a smell similar to excrement or algae.
Wang Yonghao had to take out his flashlight and shine it into the airtight cabin that opened automatically on the west side, it was too dark.
As far as the light of the flashlight can see, it is a small room, and the decoration resembles a small bazaar.
A few small food trucks, apparently selling unknown food, were lined up, as if no one was operating before business hours.
Wang Yonghao suddenly felt that he had come to the right place, but this ridiculous feeling of buying snacks in the sewer also made him sad for a while.
"Could it be that the people at the outpost like to smell the sewer before they can eat it? Is it the smell of stinky tofu, the more smelly it is, the more fragrant it is? ”
I shone a flashlight into the corridor on the east side, and found that there were still a few exhaust valves on the wall that were not working.
A distribution box with a warning sign with a black exclamation mark on a yellow triangle background, he looked up, maybe the lights and the exhaust valve were locked in this distribution box.
But the warning to watch out for electric shocks kept it all out of the distribution box, where there was only a rotten and damp smell and a dark environment, although there was no rat breeding or anything like that, and it was probably not much of a pleasure for people to walk in it.
Wang Yonghao, who was standing here, found that there was an endless stream of people up and down, and none of them seemed to come to the small food street on the east side that had not yet opened.
The men descended the vertical corridor and walked straight to the east.
Wang Yonghao also turned on the flashlight and walked forward along a corridor that he didn't know how long, and saw from a distance that something seemed to provide light.
It wasn't until I walked about 50 meters to the light that I could see that it was a garbage can, and someone had thrown something into it and lit it.
This can't help but remind Wang Yonghao of the scene when he was on earth in the cold winter, when the homeless man on the street used a gasoline barrel to light a fire to keep warm.
I couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that there are also such veritable 'inferior' neighborhoods in this outpost battle!" ”
Thinking of this, I can't help but amuse myself, class is such a thing, it is a natural behavior that cannot be avoided in any society.
It is estimated that the refugees who have just arrived at the outpost do not seem to understand that if they do not show enough value to change their status, or if they leave from here, sooner or later they will have to enter this sewer and simmer in the lit garbage can to keep warm.
This should be the darkest corner of this outpost battle where everyone is full of positive energy!
Looking at the red arrows on the wall in the firelight, he soon realized that he was still underestimating the situation in this place.
He thought it was the lowest position, but he didn't think there was anything lower.
The red arrow sign on the apparently man-made rear nail is eye-catching, just like the two fixed arrows on it and the rust-stained white iron nails on the wall.
The red arrows, half a meter long and palm-wide, stand out against the heavy walls that are used to expose them to extreme elements.
The two rusty white iron nails are also very eye-catching on this bright red arrow sign.
The light provided by the burning garbage can clearly exposes the arrow to the view of all who pass by.
I don't know if the person who nailed the arrow found the location of the trash can, or if he deliberately lit a trash can here in order to expose the arrow.
Perhaps Wang Yonghao miscalculated whether anyone in the sewer needed to use burning garbage cans to keep warm, but at least the scarlet arrow aroused Wang Yonghao's interest.
It was not so much that the arrow was nailed in this position that aroused Wang Yonghao's interest, but that the person who nailed the arrow or the purpose of doing so aroused the interest of this hungry man.
Wang Yonghao has absolutely reason to believe that if there is such a bright red instruction in the sewer on the basement floor, he will never take him to a place like a septic tank or a landfill center.
Especially on the west side of the corridor, behind the airtight compartment, is a closed miniature food court.
Wang Yonghao followed a big toad that walked upright behind his feet, and walked all the way to the corridor on the east side.
Listening to the sound of water above and smelling the moldy and humid air, the atmosphere in this dark and narrow corridor is really depressing.
Looking at the fat toad in front of him, who was about the same height as him, Wang Yonghao was a little afraid that the place he would be led to only sell amphibian food such as insects.
Of course, in fact, this is just a boring idea, after all, there are people of all races who come and go, and go in that direction.
Wang Yonghao walked forward more than ten meters unhurriedly, and happened to see a ventilation valve that was not working.
The maintenance panel with the warning sign behind it seemed to have been opened, and the circuit was sent with a "buzz" sound.
The four-bladed valve next to him began to spin at high speed, and the stale moist air was pumped out through the valve, making a whistle-like sound.
And the lights in front of me also started, because the circuit was unstable, there was a flickering of light and brightness.
Although the circuit is very unstable, and the lights in front of it are flickering and on, at least it is much better than rushing in the dark.
Although most of the people who come down have flashlights, the beam of the flashlight, even in this narrow sewer, cannot be made too bright.
Or the lights make the path extremely clear.
After another thirty or fifty meters, he finally came to the end of this narrow corridor that ran east-west.
There is a vertical passage at the end, but there is light passing from here to there, even if there is a flickering chandelier hanging directly above the passage, it cannot hide the lively atmosphere and light below.
It was very lively below, and the noisy laughter and shouting made Wang Yonghao can't help but think of the bar on Earth Time and the Lookout Hotel on the planet Terraria.
I remember when I first came to the Lookout Hostel to ask for a living, there were always the people of the Dryad laughing in front of the bar in the lobby of the hostel when they were idle and not on duty.
"There's no doubt it's a bar down here, right?"
Wang Yonghao was half a step behind and followed the unsuspecting big frog down the bar on the second floor.
As soon as I came in, my cheeks were slightly red and my sideburns were sweaty because of the lively atmosphere and the scorching heat.
The bar isn't actually very big, and when you come down, there is a bar on the left, and a penguin bartender with this red scarf on the bar looks left and right normally.
Behind the bar is a three-story wine cabinet, on top of which there are three barrels full of ale, it seems that there is not much wine stored here, and the sales are very fast.
On the right-hand side is a neon sign with two words arranged one at a time.
It clearly reads:
seak
easy
Below the diagonal sign is a large game console that is more popular nowadays: a green cabinet, a built-in monitor, and a joystick button on the console,......
Everything looks like a large game console in the game hall that Wang Yonghao played in his childhood on Earth.
And this game console is only equipped with a game called [Labyrinth Boundary 64], which is the hottest game developed by the Wing Clan.
The highest part of the bar's dome is only about five meters, and this is where the sign and the bar are located.
Stretching to the sides, there are two open areas that are not too large to fit together for eight tables.
And the penguin with the red bow tie seemed to be staring precisely at the material manipulator hanging from his waist the moment Wang Yonghao fell into the bar.
Wang Yonghao felt that this penguin had something to say to him, and Wang Yonghao was still very confident in perceiving ulterior motives or special attention.
He didn't even have to talk to the other person to know that the penguin wanted to say something to him.
