Doomsday Fast Travel: Kill That Black Butterfly

Chapter 21 The pain of difficulty breathing (21)

Li Yan knew very well that the most difficult part of his whole operation was not getting in, but getting out.Managers cast a mouse trap, allowing them to take a huge advantage.
The dungeon is like an urn filled with countless bugs, it is easy to get in, but once you are sealed inside, you will become a bastard.There is no room for them to fail in an action that wiped out the family.Li Yan climbed up with a gun on his back, and from time to time glanced at the two children who were struggling to keep up.

After climbing more than ten floors in a row, Li Yan signaled everyone to rest.All of a sudden, the elevator doors on each floor were opened, and glaring eyes were cast on them, followed by the laser dots of the scope. If all the thugs are slaughtered, then he should stop enjoying the preferential treatment of being able to live without working, and go to the factory to do production.In order not to be thrown out of work, the captain of the garrison had no choice but to order the people below to open the elevator door at the risk of injury and shoot into the elevator shaft.

Li Yan, who was always on guard, made his men stick to the wall the moment the elevator door opened, and when they finished a round of shooting, he threw the remaining Molotov cocktail outside the nearest elevator door, and the Molotov cocktail exploded with a bang, triggering The fire emergency command at the lowest level of the dungeon defense command was issued, but the elevator door closed automatically, the exit on that level was locked, and the air in the entire room was instantly drained—the fire caused by the Molotov cocktail was indeed extinguished, but the ten Several unlucky defenders also quickly fell to the ground due to lack of oxygen.In the city, they usually don't wear protective clothing equipped with oxygen cylinders, which are heavy and unnecessary.

The dungeon strictly prohibits open flames. The inspection of flammable and explosive substances is much stricter than the inspection of drugs, and the circuit system will be inspected and repaired twice a day. It is the only inspection that does not allow absenteeism. The failure rate Infinity is close to zero, and it is impossible to cause a fire due to electric sparks, so those who understand the security system of the dungeon will think that fire is an impossible thing.

The captain of the defense looked anxious and wanted to send people to block Li Yan on that floor, but the manager didn't say anything.Surveillance shows that Li Yan and his party just lost the Molotov cocktail and did not leave the elevator shaft.Now that the firefighting linkage has not been unlocked, the administrator doesn't want to ask the other two administrators to help her open the commander-in-chief authority for a matter that only needs to wait for the result - that will not be good for her reputation at all.

Let me tell you about the management system of the dungeon.Level B dungeons have three managers who are in charge of security, production and justice.Analogous to the division of power familiar to Yudi, security not only takes care of security issues, but also takes care of internal stability and external communication. Production is responsible for all material consumption and maintenance of all equipment in the dungeon. This person is also directly responsible for the opening of an express line that connects to Grade A cities; and the person in charge of the judiciary, in addition to being in charge of resolving public disputes and formulating penalties, in order to strip some of the production leaders from their control of the dungeon, similar cleaning, distributing All kinds of miscellaneous matters in the dungeon, such as checking the bedroom, etc., are also under his control.

The bottom-level command in the defense command mentioned earlier is a command that bypasses the authority of each of their administrators. In addition to fire protection, there is actually a self-destruct command that even the three of them do not know.Since the establishment of the dungeon system, after countless debates, the form of alliance agreement plus coalition government control and deployment was finally formed.There are smart people in the coalition government. They know that this seemingly tight cooperation like gears is actually very loose, especially the second-tier cities with certain autonomy, which can easily escape the control of the coalition government.The seven Class A cities have signed a confidential proposal in private, leaving a back door in the main control system that no one knows. If the coalition government unanimously agrees to "close" a certain Class B city, then this "autonomous" can be activated. "destroy command", at that time all circuits will be cut off and all production will stop.

Above the bottom-level command is the authority of the commander-in-chief, which requires three administrators to enter the key at the same time to start it.After the general command authority is activated, you can have absolute command over the entire interior of the dungeon.If the security manager had absolute command at this time, she would have opened the elevator door and ordered the defenders to pour oil and light the fire.

Li Yan saw the elevator door closed, and continued to climb up with his men, separated by a wall, forming a strange calm.

During the stalemate in the dungeon, Yudi's slicing business was in full swing.Because many of the alkali melon seedlings transplanted before died, Cheng Die asked them to dig out the ones that didn't survive, so that they could take them back for research and avoid affecting the growth of other normal seedlings due to rot.

She found that most of the roots of these unviable alkali melon seedlings looked a little burnt yellow with black spots. Compared with the light yellow roots and circular folds in the previous observation box, it was more like growing sick.Seeing her picking up those black spots with tweezers and putting them under the microscope, Yu Di suddenly remembered that these seedlings that failed to survive seemed to be concentrated in the northeast corner, where the rotten layer they had dug up was piled up.In addition, the three of Yan Lin discussed it, and they felt that these dead seedlings did not seem to have failed to survive due to environmental problems, but rather seemed to be infected with some kind of virus or fungus.

The surface has long been abandoned by humans, and most of the exposed soil is covered with layers of decay of varying composition.Although the name is rotten, it is actually heavily polluted soil that has completely lost its organic activity. Even organisms such as bacteria and fungi find it difficult to obtain energy sources in such soil, and it is still very difficult for viruses to lose their hosts. Difficult to survive.But no one can guarantee that it is impossible for any fungus or virus to evolve to adapt to the decayed layer.

If it is said that these rotten layers can infect the roots of the melon and cause death, Cheng Die will definitely vote for the virus.Yu Di suddenly understood why the melons could be found only in the place where she came from—maybe not because some kind of local plant seeds mutated into the melons caused by the distortion of time and space, but because the people who buried the local Yudi dug a pit The rotten layer was dug up, and the root system of the melon, which was lucky enough to escape the infection, grew up successfully because it was far away from the source of infection, and had a certain resistance to the source of infection, which allowed Yu Di to dig out .

The three of them discussed and decided to throw all the rotten layers around the experimental field into the big pit that was blown out of the construction site.So there was one more item on their agenda - cleaning up the rotten layer.Not only around the experimental field, but also all the rotten layers within a kilometer radius of them are stuffed into the cage made of reinforced concrete bit by bit.

This is a big project, and Yu Di, with the good intention of cheering everyone up, wrote an inspirational slogan with red paint and pasted it on the railing of their simple elevator.

"A small shovel every day, the ground is full of fields!"

This silly and embarrassing slogan inexplicably made the four of them full of energy. The melon seedlings in the experimental field seemed to be infected by this energy, growing stronger every day.

This land, which had been gray and red for a long time, finally appeared a touch of sickly bright green.
