Doomsday Drifting Begins with Shipbuilding

Chapter 156 Underwater Search
As the distance continued to get closer, Chen Xuan also took a closer look at these buildings.

Just like the news I found out before, these buildings were not submerged very deep, and many buildings were even less than half a meter away from the sea.

Back then when he was in the Times Building, he could only see one building, but at this moment, Chen Xuan only felt that there were buildings everywhere, row upon row, like rocks.

And unlike the landmark buildings like the Times Building that I saw before, these buildings in front of me are very ordinary in shape, without too many fancy designs, square in shape, with red and white walls.

It seems that they are just ordinary residential buildings.

These residential buildings are quietly swaying under the water at this moment. Some algae have grown on them, and most of them are still standing tenaciously. However, some of them are still broken.

In addition, there are four or five ships parked on the sea here, apparently someone came to search for underwater resources.

There are plenty of people who are more diligent than Chen Xuan.

And this also means that dozens of people are doing missions in this sea area, and the vicinity should be very safe.

It's just that when there are too many people, some methods cannot be used, so we need to be more restrained.

Anyway, it's just collecting resources, and there's no need for any special means.

"Chen Xuan?"

Just as Chen Xuan was about to return to the cabin and change into his diving suit, he suddenly heard someone calling himself.

I followed the voice and saw a familiar face.

It was Jiang Wanfang.

At this time, Jiang Wanfang was standing on another boat, waving at him.

"Chen Xuan, long time no see, you have also joined the army."

Seeing Chen Xuan looking at him, Jiang Wanfang looked very excited.

"Wait, where are your teammates?"

Jiang Wanfang looked left and right, and saw that there was no one else on Chen Xuan's boat, so she couldn't help asking suspiciously.

"Don't tell me that you came out to carry out the mission alone."

"Sister, aren't you alone?"

Jiang Wanfang in front of him was also staying alone on a boat, which also made Chen Xuan a little puzzled.

"Because I was injured, I stayed to watch the boat. Everyone else has already entered the water. Chen Xuan, is it too dangerous for you to go to sea alone?"

"I'm more comfortable like this. Sister, are you also going to do the task of searching for resources?"

Without much explanation, he asked again.

"Yeah, this mission is relatively easy. Although I really want to perform missions on land, why don't there be many people who can swim on the North Wind Plateau?"

At this time, Chen Xuan thought again, since Jiang Wanfang was here, maybe he could get some information.

"Sister, it's my first mission, please give me some advice."

"That's no problem. I'm still very experienced in this area."

I saw Jiang Wanfang paused, as if she was sorting out her words, and then said.

"Although searching for resources sounds simple, the location of the collection is also particular. For example, it is very convenient to collect things in these residential buildings, and there are a lot of them. They belong to the area that everyone is eyeing."

"But the things in the residential building are very messy. There is everything, garbage, pots and pans. Rubbish rummaging will only waste time."

"It should be noted that the most useful ones are the metal equipment, followed by food. Of course, this is the well-preserved food that is not wrapped in plastic. And some people may even install a safe in their homes."

Hearing Jiang Wanfang talk about the safe, Chen Xuan remembered that he had obtained one before, but because he had no other way, he had already left it in the corner.

However, there are a lot of talents on the North Wind Plateau, maybe find a skilled locksmith later and try to see if he can open the safe.

Chen Xuan put away the sails, took off his military uniform, and put on a diving suit.

Then he took the rope and the snake tooth gun and jumped into the water with a plop.

Since I don't plan to go deep for the time being, and the light is good now, I don't need to bring fluorescent sticks for the time being.

After entering the water, Chen Xuan scanned around again, but found no trace of fluorescent seaweed.

It doesn't mean that where there is a city, there must be fluorescent seaweed. The place in front of me has not been touched by fluorescent seaweed.

Afterwards, Chen Xuan swam all the way to the residential buildings, and found that the anti-theft windows on the several floors of these residential buildings near the water surface were basically removed, and the windows were also smashed, obviously someone had visited them.

I also want to know that it has been so long since the end of the world, the upper buildings should have been collected by the survivor team long ago.

If you want to gain something, you can only go deeper.

After returning to the ship and grabbing a glow stick, Chen Xuan continued to dive and finally saw some floors with intact security windows.

The anti-theft window was firmly embedded in the wall. Although it had been soaked in water for a long time, there was no sign of loosening.

This kind of metal anti-theft door, if it was replaced by Chen Xuan before, it would not be easy to destroy it. The snake tooth gun could not cut through the metal, so he could only destroy the wall to take out the anti-theft window.

However, at this moment, Chen Xuan's mind sank, and he mobilized the energy of his whole body to gather in his hands. After a while, he only felt that his hands were several times stronger.

Then he grabbed the anti-theft window and pulled it hard, the anti-theft window made a harsh creaking sound, but after the noise, the anti-theft window that was originally firmly fixed on the wall was pulled down by him.

The results of these days of training have been initially displayed at this moment.

With the anti-theft window removed, the rest is very simple.

The window frames in the residential area are all made of plastic, which has long been decomposed and cleaned, leaving only a thin layer of glass inserted in the gap.

Chen Xuan stretched out his hand and pushed lightly, and the glass fell off.

I don't know how many points the glass is worth.

However, well-preserved glass like this should still have a lot of functions.

This anti-theft window is the best material to collect at present, and there are forty or fifty windows on this floor alone.

Chen Xuan's heart moved, and he began to dismantle all the anti-theft windows outside the windows, including a layer of glass windows inside. He also picked out the intact parts and took them to the "Kunpeng".

Before entering the building, he had already made a small fortune.

Then, Chen Xuan entered through the window.

After entering the window, the location is a living room, and there are a lot of wood furniture in ordinary houses like this, just like a low-end version of an underwater hotel.

If it was for the former Chen Xuan, he would definitely dismantle it and take it away.

But now, he doesn't plan to waste time and effort dealing with these wooden furniture.

After all, he has no shortage of wood now.

------

【Current resources】：
"Wood": 319 units.

"Plant fiber": 805 units.

"Bioplastic": 131 units.

"Oil": 253 units.

"Metal": 3 units.

"Dirt": 36 units.

"Glass": 1 units.

"Stone": 56 units.

"Gel": 23 units.

------

There is still a lot of wood harvested from the unnamed island before.

And if you want to harvest resources again, you can just chop them in the forest. Isn't this more convenient than slowly collecting them underwater?

He started to rummage through the boxes and cabinets, and thoroughly searched for the things that Jiang Wanfang said before.

After so long, his physique has strengthened again, and his lung capacity has also increased accordingly. It has been an hour and a half since he entered the water, and he has not felt chest tightness.

Reducing the need for ventilation is undoubtedly a great gain to the efficiency of collection.

However, ordinary houses are ordinary houses, and there are not many valuable things.

In the whole room, the only valuable things are the metal parts left by home appliances, some kitchen utensils and tools for daily use, and finally the anti-theft door.

And the anti-theft door can't be taken away, it's too big to take it out.

Then, he went to several other companies, and it was the same.

Such a result undoubtedly made Chen Xuan very disappointed.

It takes so much time and effort to search, but there are not many things that can be used, and the efficiency is too low.

Doing this kind of work yourself seems like a waste of time.

Chen Xuan pondered for a while, and decided not to stay in the residential building any longer, he would go to other places to have a look.

Ordinary metal parts were no longer attractive to him. Seeing that these buildings were not flooded deeply, Chen Xuan couldn't help thinking of the ground floor.

The good stuff is there.

Just saying that the bicycles on the street are good things, and there are no fluorescent seaweeds growing here, which means that those metal things should be well preserved.

Before leaving, he took down a dozen windows by the way.

These outermost iron railings are the most useful resource for residential buildings.

Nearly fifty anti-theft windows have been hung on the ropes.

With so many metal parts, if they are collected, at least 100 units of metal can be provided to him.

Seeing Chen Xuan coming out of the water with dozens of metal windows hanging from ropes behind him, Jiang Wanfang was dumbfounded.

How did he float up with so many things on his back?

Is this something a human can do?

As expected of a guy who came from Dongji Mountain alone, it really wasn't just luck.

But at the same time she was very envious.

Chen Xuan's income from this trip was worth half a day's income of everyone in their team.

However, she couldn't help feeling a little depressed when she heard that Chen Xuan felt that she had gained very little.

"That's too little for you."

The team he was in regarded these places as treasures, but Chen Xuan felt that there was nothing there.

For some reason, Jiang Wanfang suddenly felt that the kid in front of her looked a little unworthy of a beating.

"It's too little, then go to the police station, there are guns and ammunition in there, why don't you go there?"

She couldn't help saying something casually.

The speaker is unintentional, listening intentionally.

"It makes sense, sister, do you know how to get to the nearby police station?"

Chen Xuan became interested for a while.

These places are not flooded very deep now. With the depth of my dive, the police station may really have hope.

When he thought of guns, his heart burned instantly.

Go and have a look, maybe you can find the key.

"I'm just talking casually, don't take it seriously, the police station is not a residential building, the general police station is on the first floor, that place is too deep."

Seeing Chen Xuan's excited look, Jiang Wanfang felt that something was wrong, so she hurriedly spoke to stop it.

"And those police stations have very strong protective facilities outside. It is almost impossible to break through from the outside. Even if you go, it will be a waste of effort."

"Sister, you just need to tell me. If it doesn't work, I'll come back."

"If you really don't hit the south wall and don't look back, you're crazy. I don't bother to talk about it anymore. Walk about 20 kilometers southwest from here, and you can see an office building with a sign of Life Insurance on it. Below that is the police station."

"Thanks, sister, I'll go and have a look."

After learning the desired information, Chen Xuan immediately bid farewell to Jiang Wanfang and rushed to the place he wanted to go.

Looking at Chen Xuan's back, Jiang Wanfang couldn't help but have a thought in her heart.

This kid won't be making another big news, right?

20 kilometers is not too far. In less than 10 minutes, Chen Xuan found the location of the office building that Jiang Wanfang mentioned.

Looking at the four big characters of Beifeng Life Insurance on it, Chen Xuan admired Jiang Wanfang a little bit.

As expected of an aborigine, they are all flooded like this, and they still know the terrain like the back of their hands.

And the height of this office building is obviously much shorter than that of residential buildings, and it is nearly 30 to [-] meters deep from the water surface, so it is no wonder that there are few patrons.

And then there is nothing to see.

Confirmed the safety of the nearby sea area.

Taking the light stick and snake fang gun, Chen Xuan dived down the office building.

The office building is just an ordinary office building, with glass curtain walls on the outside, and it's pitch black inside, and you can't see anything. Maybe you can look back to see if there are any metal materials to collect.

The computers inside are all very good metal sources.

And the further down, the deeper and darker it was, only the light stick in Chen Xuan's hand exuded the last bit of brilliance.

Chen Xuan hasn't dived so deep for a long time.

And the glass in the office building reflects green light, which looks a little weird.

Gradually, Chen Xuan could already see the unique blue and white logo of the police station.

It seems to be coming.

This cheered him up, and he felt a little faster.

Before the apocalypse, he had never been in a police station, but he did not expect that after the apocalypse, he would be in a police station, still in this way.

Chen Xuan felt a little funny for a moment.

Plus, he could even see the concrete pavement.

This was the first time he had been so close to the road since the last days.It seems that some aquatic plants can also be seen swaying on the sea.

And you can also see some small fish and shrimp swimming, they are not big, so they should be fine.

Holding the snake fang gun tightly in his hand, Chen Xuan was a little nervous, but his mind was only on the police station at this time.

The lure of guns surpasses everything else.

After turning around, he finally found the gate of the police station hall, touched the wall and Chen Xuan dived into it.

He didn't know which room stored the firearms, but according to his inference, the most heavily guarded place should be where the firearms were prevented.

Finally, he found a door with a very strong door.

For this solid anti-theft door, he definitely has nothing to do.

He hurried outside and found the corresponding window.

Just as he was about to try to disassemble it, suddenly, he seemed to feel something, the Snake Tooth Gun slammed against the wall, and his body used the strength to leap to the side.

Immediately afterwards, as if a torpedo exploded in the water, a huge explosion sounded beside him.
