Chapter 14 Upper Groove
Patting the blood and dust on his clothes vigorously, Xia bent down and picked up the pistol that he had thrown aside before.
Although this pistol is nothing compared to the big killing weapon of the origin, it indirectly saved Gu Xia's life in the crisis situation just now.
At this time, the pistol was completely covered in blood, so Xia was very skeptical that it would be able to work properly, but after reloading the bullet and firing a shot, Xia had no worries about this.
Sure enough, it is worthy of the pistol of the wasteland world, it is really durable, and it does not look damaged at all.
And the short stick, which was somewhat damaged by being used to jam the radiant's mouth, but was still usable.
The good condition of the two weapons made Gu Xia breathe a sigh of relief, after all, this is the capital of his life, and the road ahead is still very long, if he loses them here, I am afraid that he will not be far from death.
……
"Is it really not there?"
On the surface, in the underground shelter where Su Qianxue and Gu Xia had stayed, the protective equipment all over her body looked a little tattered, and Su Qianxue returned here with the shotgun in her hand.
Unlike Gu Xia, who was still exploring in the underground world, Su Qianxue had returned to the surface from that underground facility on the night of the day she went down.
Originally, Su Qianxue planned to go back to find Gu Xia according to the original plan, and of course she did so, but when Su Qianxue returned to the side of the building, she only found some bullet marks in a ruin.
Su Qianxue knew that this should be a trace of a battle, and as for those people fighting, it was easy to speculate that there must be Gu Xia's participation among them.
Su Qianxue, who guessed the situation, immediately fell into self-blame, after all, she let Gu Xia stay here, and she also told him that no enemy would come, but it just happened, no matter how much she regretted it, she couldn't save Gu Xia.
However, after a follow-up careful investigation, Su Qianxue found that there was no blood stains on the ruins, no matter what, in just one day, even in this wasteland, the blood stains should not be cleaned up so cleanly.
Therefore, Su Qianxue concluded that there was a high probability that Gu Xia was still alive, at least not here anyway.
So in the next few days, Su Qianxue went back to the shelter, hoping to see the old summer who came back, and after making sure that he was not there, he returned to that area and had a "friendly exchange" with the local people, but there was no news of the old summer.
Eventually, he returned to the shelter and wanted to gamble.
But obviously, Su Qianxue made a mistake.
Some of them walked into the shelter where they hadn't been back for at least three days, and Su Qianxue always felt that the temperature in the shelter today was a little low and terrifying.
Although she and Gu Xia have known each other for a few days, or even just a cooperative relationship, the idea that she might kill him has been haunting her thoughts.
No matter how she says it, she Su Qianxue just likes to use others as a meat shield, but in fact, she cherishes every friend.
"Sorry......"
Su Qianxue, who was lying on the bed, silently apologized to Gu Xia, who didn't know where to go.
……
On the fifth day after encountering a large group of radiant beasts, with the help of Origin, Gu Xia finally found an exit from the underworld back to the surface.
Climbing the ladder with no end in sight, Xia already felt that his legs were not his own, but the obsession of returning to the surface made him persevere.
In other words, the protection of the origin that crawls behind him is also one of the motivations for him to persevere.
In the past few days of exploration, Gu Xia also invited Origin to return to the surface with him many times, and in the end, maybe it was Gu Xia's behavior that moved Origin, or some other reason, anyway, Origin promised to go back with Gu Xia.
Originally, Origin was going to climb the ladder with Gu Xia on his back, but because of the huge ammunition box behind him, Gu Xia couldn't hold Origin's body, so he gave up.
As for why they would rather climb the ladder than do the elevator marked on the map, hmm......
Of course, it is because of the power outages of this underground facility from time to time, which leads to the extreme distrust of the elevator here.
Climbing the ladder may just be tiring, even if you can't hold it halfway, you will be pulled by the origin to rest on the ladder for a while, but if the power goes out when you take the elevator, and then in case the elevator here is not equipped with a protective device and falls, then I'm afraid that Gu Xia will fall to his death directly.
Everything is based on safety, this is Gu Xia's current code of conduct, anyway, Gu Xia never believes in his luck.
Finally, after another half an hour, the panting Guxia finally arrived at the surface.
Seeing the familiar night sky, so Xia couldn't help but be a little moved, this nearly ten days of dark life really made him go crazy.
"Ding~"
This is the sound of the system, hearing this sound, so Xia directly opened the system interface as quickly as possible.
After nearly ten days of exploration, it is finally time to harvest at this time, how can you not make Gu Xia feel excited?
【Mission】
【Underground Exploration】
[Mission Status: 66% Completed]
[Rewards: Politics: 330 Research Points: 660]
[Because the executor has left the Underworld, the status of this task has been changed to pending, waiting for the next time it will be opened.] 】
Seeing these 330 political points, so Xia was really happy, if it weren't for the fear of being seen by the origin who had just climbed up the ladder, so Xia really wanted to sing a song and express his emotions.
Not to mention those scientific research points, these political points are enough to meet the return expectations of this task in Gu Xia's heart, but it is better to say that it has actually exceeded a lot.
Looking at these political points, Gu Xia was as kind as looking at his own good son, and he was full of thoughts about how to use it to suppress ...... Get the most out of them.
First of all, the 100 points that open the robot repository must be left, and the 50 political points that open the arsenal are also, not to mention opening all, at least one political point must be left for each to open.
Then there are 180 political points that can be freely distributed.
As with the government in the tightrope, it takes points to get a leader into a slot, and the cost may vary depending on the leader.
This time, Gu Xia is planning to put the Origin into a slot called a military advisor, although Gu Xia doesn't understand why Origin is such an engineering robot with military qualities, but considering the fact that everyone in the wasteland world is full of martial virtues, it doesn't seem so difficult to understand.
Although there are not many political points now, the origin of the mechanical warrior can increase the attack power of robot units by 10%, which makes it difficult for Gu Xia, who plans to form a mechanical legion, to refuse.
These 150 political points, the old summer of the flower is not hesitant at all.
