Chapter Thirty-Seven: Two Guys, Target Trading Station!
After Chen Xi confessed his "secret", Lu Dachuan and others understood why Chen Xi was able to survive from the surface alone.
Especially the explanation of their extraordinary abilities, they had no reason to stop Chen Xi from doing this.
"Now that you all understand what I mean, then this secret is only known to those who are here. Remember? ”
Seeing everyone nodding, Chen Xi put the items on the table back into the [inventory] one by one.
Looking at the items that disappeared out of thin air, several people present couldn't help but be amazed in their hearts.
Worthy of the extraordinary...
"Ah Xi, when are you going to leave?"
Looking down at the mechanical watch on his wrist, Chen Xi thought for a moment and then made a decision: "It's nine o'clock in the morning, and in an hour, we'll set off!" ”
"In such a hurry?"
"We have to hurry. If all goes well, we can come back tomorrow. ”
After saying that, Chen Xi turned his head to look at his hair small, "Taozi, you go with me!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
"Huh?"
Wang Tao, who was named, was stunned at first, and then reacted immediately, and then his face immediately showed an excited look:
"Yes!"
Regarding Chen Xi still taking Wang Tao, a "burden" who has never gone out, Lu Dachuan once again expressed his opposition!
"Ah Xi, Xiao Tao has never left the subway station, and he doesn't have any experience fighting mutants, isn't this a bit hasty?"
Facing Lu Dachuan's worries, Chen Xi just smiled slightly and calmly explained:
"There's a first time for everything, and isn't that just right? Before going to the surface, as a trainee explorer, he can first get up close and personal with the monsters in the tunnel..."
The reason why he brought Wang Tao was that Chen Xi naturally planned to take this opportunity to exercise Wang Tao.
As a young man who grew up together, Wang Tao's loyalty is not questioned.
However, considering the upcoming as well, Wang Tao must grow up as soon as possible and take on more responsibilities for him and for the entire subway station.
Anyway, with his own protection along the way, Wang Tao will be fine, and he can follow behind him with peace of mind and increase his experience.
Two people, just right.
No matter how many people there are, not only will he not be able to protect them, but he will also move slowly...
After the meeting, Chen Xi began to pack up his travel equipment.
Remington shotguns, Glock pistols, crossbows, homemade daggers, gas masks, canisters...
In addition to weapons and equipment, food, his backpack also stuffed a lot of valuable things.
A thousand coins seized from Li Jingui, as well as a few gems that were withdrawn from the handle of the revolver,
In addition to that, he also brought the pair of leather shoes that exploded.
He was thinking that at the trading post, gems and leather shoes should be sold for some money.
An hour, fleeting.
Chen Xi and Wang Tao, who were ready, left the outpost with different moods and stepped into the extremely dark tunnel without hesitation...
。。。
Rustle...
In the dark and silent subway tunnel, subtle movements echoed.
If you listen closely, you can tell that there are two footsteps, one in front of the other.
At this moment, two rays of light broke through the shackles of darkness and illuminated the tunnel.
Two figures, from the other end of the tunnel, walked slowly.
The people who came were Chen Xi and Wang Tao, who were fully armed!
Chen Xi put the tactical flashlight that broke out earlier into the pocket of his left coat, fixed it, and then twisted the lamp head to shine forward.
In this way, he can not only see the situation in front of him with the help of lights, but also free hands and take out his weapon at any time to deal with possible emergencies.
Wang Tao gave full play to his maintenance talent, he used a small flashlight that he repaired, plus tape, and made a simple headlamp on the rugby helmet he carried.
Looking at the railroad tracks stretching under his feet, and the darkness that seemed to have no end in front of him, Chen Xi's thoughts couldn't help but turn.
He gradually discovered that this world, although very similar to the world before he crossed over.
But in many places, it's very different.
For example, the name and territory of the country, the size of the continent, the level of science and technology of the country, and so on.
For example, in a nuclear war, the super nuclear bomb used by the five superpowers is much more powerful than the nuclear bomb he knows, which is equivalent to an enhanced version of the nuclear bomb plus a dirty bomb!
This super nuclear bomb can not only leave radiation for hundreds of years, but also seriously affect climate change around the world.
After a large number of super-nuclear bombs explode, the huge amount of energy injects soot and particulates into the atmosphere, causing the temperature of the upper atmosphere to rise and the surface temperature to drop, producing the opposite effect of the greenhouse effect, thus plunging the world into a long and bitterly cold nuclear winter.
Another example is that the world's five superpowers have established a huge network of subway lines, covering almost all parts of the country.
This is why Nanling City, as a fifth-tier small city, actually has a subway!
However, not all metro stations have survivors.
According to Lu Dachuan, in the entire city of Nanling, there are only five underground shelters.
Most of the survivors took refuge in various underground shelters when nuclear war broke out.
And with the evolution and strife of these decades, some underground shelters ran out of materials and eventually died out; Some shelters have been attacked by mutants; Some shelters have a virulent infectious disease and are locked down by other shelters...
In the end, in the entire huge Nanling City, only these five shelters remained that continued to hold on.
It is worth mentioning that all but one of the five underground shelters were built inside the metro station.
Thanks to Li Jingui's closed dictatorship and his backstage assistance, Tomorrow Metro Station has persevered until now, despite living in dire straits.
The closest underground shelter to the Tomorrow subway station is Nanfeng Station, two kilometers away.
Since there is no human-powered rail car on the railroad tracks at the Tomorrow subway station, the two can only rely on their own legs to move along the dark subway tunnel that seems to have no end.
However, once they have successfully reached the Nanfeng Station, they can take the rickshaw to the trading station in the west of the city.
This is also the method every time Li Jingui sends someone to the trading post.
If you are walking alone in the dark subway tunnel, the loneliness that hits you all the time, and the fear of the unknown that may appear at any time in the darkness, will make people want to escape from here immediately.
However, thanks to the innate effect of [Otherworldly Soul], Chen Xi did not have such negative emotions at all, but kept muttering in his heart:
Mutants, you're here!
Hurry up and come out and let you brush up some experience!
What's more, he still has Wang Tao by his side, but he is not panicked at all.
"Be careful, pay more attention to the sides and the top of your head..."
While speaking, Chen Xi took out a green package of a certain arrow gum from his trouser pocket, opened one piece, threw it into his mouth, and then unwrapped the other piece as well, and handed it to Wang Tao on the side:
"Grab a piece of gum."
"Chewing gum?"
"This is a kind of candy before the nuclear explosion. Remember, after chewing until it has no taste, you have to spit it out, don't swallow it. ”
Take the gum and put it in your mouth.
Just chewed it twice, Wang Tao's expression lit up suddenly!
"It's cool, it's sweet, and it's delicious!"
"It's minty flavor."
However, before Wang Tao could imagine what mint was, Chen Xi, who was walking in front, was stunned and issued a warning:
"There are corpses!"
