Wasteland Code Survival Chapter 285: Tunnel

Qi Lin rested for five or six hours, and Ivan walked into the room with two mutants.

"You can go now. This time period happens to be when the frequency of mutant creatures is the lowest."

……

……

The warehouse at the mouth of Ivan is located at the foot of the valley north of Nerodsk. The entrance is a cave similar to an air-raid tunnel. Two signs with Russian characters are hanging outside but tell Qi Lin , This tunnel is a three-defense fortification built during the Cold War in the former Soviet Union.

This fortification was also built to prevent nuclear war, but it fell into disrepair and was abandoned.

According to what Ivan said, after the beginning of the third world war, the Russian government did not unpack and repair the old three defenses, but built it near Nerodsk A brand new refuge was established, which is the "E04 Refuge of the Far East" where Ivan and the others are located.

Of course, the newly constructed shelter must be more reliable than the tunnel dug nearly a hundred years ago, and before the shelter was contaminated by radiation, the Far East e04 shelter was also connected to the underground shelter network in the Russian Far East. , Both materials and information can be effectively guaranteed.

The problem is that the e04 refuge in the Far East is just a small refuge, which cannot accommodate the entire population of Nerozsk and the refugees from the surrounding areas. After the refuge is full, they cannot squeeze in. People thought of the three defenses left over from the Cold War period, but at this time, they found desperately that the government had sealed the entrance to this fortification with a heavy steel gate and could not be opened at all.

"Then what's going on?" Qi Lin pointed to the dark entrance of the fortification. Except for the half-person-high weeds around, he didn't see any trace of the big iron gate at all.

"Do you know this kind of bug?" Ivan rummaged for a while on the ground, then picked up a gray-white worm.

The bug looks similar to termites from the outside, but it has subtle dark green lines on its body. Even though the bug has been dead for a long time, the dark green lines are still emitting a dim light-this Seeing is the trace of mutation produced in radiation.

"Gold-eating ants, this little insect feeds on metal, and their saliva contains a strong acid that can corrode the metal into a state for them to swallow. That big iron gate is just a nest from other places The swarms of gold-eating ants that came here were eaten alive."

"What about these gold-eating ants? They flew away after eating the iron gate?"

"We originally thought so, but the other metal objects in the city of Nerodsk have not been corroded and gnawed away. Later, during one of our explorations, we discovered that these insects were radiated from the depths of the fortifications. Attracted, flew in, but in the end all died under excessive radiation."

Many insect mutants have a strong tropism to radiation, just like Jet’s taste is attractive to drug addicts. Although they can’t withstand such high-intensity radiation at all, they still do Act like moths fighting a fire.

There is a simple hand-push rail car made of iron sheet at the tunnel entrance. This kind of rail car uses pure human power. Just push one, and then continuously press a lever at the rear of the car. , The whole car can move forward continuously.

Under the car, a rusty railroad track extends from the entrance to the depths of the tunnel.

In Qi Lin's eyes, the darkness in the tunnel does not exist at all, but at about two hundred meters, the tunnel turned a turn, so he could not see the deeper scene.

"We are walking, this thing is too noisy, it will attract many mutant creatures living in the tunnel, and the middle track is also broken in several places." Ivan pointed to the rail car and said.

"Yeah." Qi Lin nodded, and then Ivan waved his hand. Two short, thin, agile mutants took the lead, stepped in silently, and entered the two mutants. After more than 20 meters, other talents followed one after another.

According to Ivan’s instructions, try not to make any noise when you enter the tunnel, and you must never shoot. In the tunnel, the echo of the gunshot will go far and far.

The tunnel is wide enough for three heavy-duty trucks to stand side by side. At the top of the tunnel, there are thick metal pipes. Beside the pipes, there are bundles of cables with aging and cracked rubber skin. .

The terrain of this tripartite fortification inside the mountain is intricate, like a maze, but due to the mutants’ previous explorations, every fork in the road will be marked with white lime on the wall, so it’s not necessary. Worry about the problem of going wrong.

As the people gradually deepened, Qi Lin obviously felt that the radiation concentration in the surrounding environment had increased. Although this feeling made him very comfortable, the steps of the mutants around him began to heavier.

After turning a fork in the road and moving forward for nearly a kilometer, Ivan finally signaled everyone to stop.

"This place is almost close to our limit~IndoMTL.com~There will be no fork in the road. The source of radiation is in the deepest part of the tunnel." Ivan whispered, and then handed a backpack to Qi Lin .

"This is a night vision camera. I need you to take pictures of the images in the warehouse for me. In addition, according to the information we exchanged for death in previous explorations, the warehouse door has been destroyed, so You don’t have to worry about entering the warehouse, but it should be noted that there may be mutant organisms that adapt to high-intensity radiation in the warehouse."

"You have four hours. We will meet you at the last fork in the road, but if you fail to come out within four hours, we will leave. Please understand this. Staying in the environment for four hours is already very difficult for us."

While talking, Ivan raised his hand and wiped away a puff of black blood spilling under his nostrils. Except for him, most of the other mutants also had some uncomfortable reactions, some of them were weaker. Yes, it is constantly twitching and trembling, and it needs the support of people around to stand barely.

"I know, but if I encounter a monster that is too powerful, I will give up this mission."

Ivan nodded, glanced at Qi Lin, then turned his head and walked out with the mutant, leaving Qi Lin here alone.

Until the last mutant disappeared in the corner, Qi Lin took a deep breath of the turbid air with a strong rust smell and fishy smell. Although the environment in the tunnel was extremely bad, it was difficult to absorb For Qi Lin in the heart of the black forest, he was as happy and comfortable as a fish in water, and his whole body was filled with overflowing energy.

"Radiation concentration in the environment: 980"

"Current additional increase ratio: 35"
