Chapter 7: The Underworld

"You mean, we're going to search that building today? But this doesn't seem to be our territory. ”

After living in this wasteland for a few days, even the old summer has a certain understanding of some of the customs and land divisions of this area.

It stands to reason that since Su Qianxue has no intention of fighting with others, she should not do this kind of thing of invading other people's collection areas.

"Stupid, you don't want to die yet, there's a passage under that building, that's what we're here for." Su Qianxue said as she checked the shotgun in her hand.

In this regard, so Xia could only slander weakly in his mind, Su Qianxue's approach felt no different from invasion, the only difference was that one was above ground and the other was underground.

After walking for about ten minutes, the two reached the bottom of the building.

Su Qianxue walked around the building and nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, this place hasn't been discovered by anyone else."

Then, Su Qianxue pushed open a stone slab, and a small metal door appeared on the ground in the back area.

The small door was quickly opened by Su Qianxue, so Xia looked from the protective mask, and the door was completely dark.

Su Qianxue took out a rope, tied one end to herself, and tied the other end around a stone pillar and tied it to Gu Xia's body.

"I'll go down first, you help me pull, and when I get below, you can rest, and I'll come up as soon as possible."

After saying this, Su Qianxue planned to jump down directly.

"Wait a minute, what if someone comes over later?"

"Ah, the people here won't come here so easily, if they do, you can just shoot." Su Qianxue looked indifferent.

"Okay."

After arranging the tasks of the old summer, Su Qianxue began to slowly turn into the door.

Therefore Xia also held the rope tightly with both hands, helping Su Qianxue to reach the bottom safely.

After about five minutes, Xia suddenly felt that the rope in his hand was light, and he knew that Su Qianxue had probably reached the ground.

So Xia was a little relieved and sat on the ground to rest, but he never untied the rope.

Su Qianxue tied the rope to a stone at the bottom of the cave, took out a flashlight and began to explore this underground world.

Time passed slowly, Su Qianxue walked slowly underground, but Gu Xia, who was guarding the entrance of the cave, encountered huge trouble.

Holding a pistol, Xia wanted to cry and hid behind a rock.

In the direction he was facing, a group of six people had already walked towards their positions with various firearms.

"So, don't set up flags, I'll say you'll definitely be discovered!"

Although he had a torn type 1 pistol in his hand, Gu Xia was a novice after all, and he didn't think that he could use it to kill the six big men in front of him.

And even if Gu Xia wants to fight, he can't do it for a life, their vigilance is very strong, as long as Gu Xia dares to probe, it will be a few bullets flying over, and he won't be given a chance at all.

I don't know why, the people in this area always feel a little overly irritable, originally thinking that even if they really met, they would always come to communicate when they didn't know what they were doing, but they actually omitted this step directly.

There was the sound of swishing bullets cutting through the air, even if it was blocked by a protective mask, but in Gu Xia's ears, these sounds were still so clear.

Panting for breath with all his might, Soxia picked up the stone on the ground and threw it out, trying to attract their attention.

The flashing stones did make the enemies who slowly touched them pause, but that was about it.

However, Gu Xia, who had no combat experience, didn't know it, and still followed the original plan, dodged out, raised his pistol and prepared to fire.

But in the end, he was hit by a bullet in the big bag hanging in his chest.

The tremendous force of the impact pushed Gu Xia backwards, and fell straight into the open metal door.

The enemy who caught up stood in a circle by the door, looking curiously at this place that looked very deep.

"Hey, he's falling, shall we go down and have a look?"

"Definitely, he's gone to such great lengths to get here, there's definitely something unusual here, but we'll have to get ready before we come here."

"Yes, go back and prepare some rations and rope or something."

"Well, let's go."

The leader took one last look at the entrance to the cave and left with his own men.

……

The icy underground river soaked Gu Xia's whole body, and the current was very turbulent, if it wasn't for the rope tied to his body, so Xia would definitely be washed out by the current.

My chest was stuffy and aching.

This is probably the result of that bullet.

But fortunately, Gu Xia put his bag on his chest, and while waiting, he stuffed some metal objects into it, otherwise his life would definitely be lost.

Although he was still driven into the hole by the thrust of the bullet, at least there was a river below, which saved his life.

The turbulent water made it impossible for Gu Xia to rely on swimming to get back to the shore, so she could only rely on a rope to slowly lean towards the shore.

Just when Gu Xia was working hard, there was a sudden movement in the system.

"At this time, who is in the mood to check what the system sends!"

So Xia gritted his teeth and shortened the rope little by little.

But the rope was still too long after all, so Xia pulled it for more than ten minutes and still didn't reach the end, so she had to stay halfway to rest.

By the way, I opened the system and checked the messages that were sent.

【Mission】

【Underground Exploration】

[Description: There are many things hidden in the underground of the wasteland world, most of them are well hidden, and now because of some coincidences, you have discovered an underground world, this kind of unexpected joy, isn't it worth exploring it?] Maybe you'll find something useful here! 】

[Requirements: Explore the Underground World]

[Reward: A certain amount of research points and political points will be given according to the level of exploration]

Although it is still in the icy river, Gu Xia's heart is much warmer.

Although this task is not like the previous one, which is very simple and rude to directly reward oneself with civilian factories, political points are indeed something that they urgently need.

With it, you can open some useful resolutions yourself, which will inevitably bring great benefits to yourself.

As for the research points, at first glance it looks more like something that should exist in the Stellar system, but after all, the Stellar system is not yet open, so it should be used in place of the research slot.

When I observed it before, I found that I didn't even have a scientific research slot, and I was still wondering how to study those technologies, but I didn't expect that now there was something that seemed to solve this problem.

This made Gu Xia how could he not be excited.
