PM7:45

One hour and fifteen minutes had passed since the dungeon was closed. Gu Tongwan had just returned home and washed off her sweat. She also put Aoao and Tutu in the space and placed a basin of water in it for them. Now, under her "coercion and inducement", the two dogs have learned to wash their bodies by themselves.

After all, he killed so many red-eyed rats in the dungeon that Gu Tongwan even had to mop the floor for a while.

Yan Fan saw her coming downstairs and then asked about what happened in the dungeon today.

Gu Tongwan took out the pre-prepared paper-skin steamed buns and braised beef from the refrigerator, steamed the paper-skin steamed buns in a pot for ten minutes, dipped the braised beef in garlic sauce, and also prepared some raw cucumbers and lettuce, making a total of three dishes. Although it may seem simple, it is precious enough in the end times.

Yan Fan was not idle at home either. He kept the living room on the first floor clean and tidy every day. The small house in the yard was no longer habitable after being washed by acid rain. Considering that she would continue to "send" the young man around in the future, Gu Tongwan simply let him live on the first floor, and in exchange for rent he would help her with work.

"There's a house in the underground city that I'd really like to buy. Even though it's an unfinished building, the location is pretty good." She took out her cell phone and handed it over. On it were some photos she had taken, especially the top floor, which was taken from multiple angles.

"Growing vegetables on the roof? But how can plants survive without sunlight?" Although Yan Fan didn't know much about crops, he at least knew that plants should need photosynthesis.

"I have a solution to this problem. I'll just buy some imitation solar lights. I know someone who is also engaged in planting at the Wanderer Base. I can learn from her related experience." Of course, she couldn't say that the seeds in the system space don't need sunlight to grow normally. "

Yan Fan stuffed a piece of braised beef in his mouth and continued to scroll through the photos. He nodded and asked, "But this house is not cheap, Sister Wanwan. In fact, this house on the ground is already very good. Is it necessary to live in the underground city in the future?"

Gu Tongwan did not answer immediately. He just poured a glass of homemade passion fruit lemonade and handed it over. He lowered his eyes slightly and said in a calm but firm tone: "The underground city will become the only fortress of mankind in the next ten years."

In fact, this sentence was said by a big man who stood at the top in the previous life. At that time, the news that Jiangcheng was going to dig an underground city was broadcast in newspapers and various radio elevators, but the outside world was not optimistic about it, and even thought that it was a waste of Jiangcheng’s resources. After all, even the capital had no plans to dig an underground city, but Jiangcheng was the only one to start it.

I still remember that when Gu Tongwan heard the news, he was still in a wanderer team. Everyone in the team was sneering at the leader of the Jiangcheng base for being dreamy. If there was a big earthquake one day, the entire underground city would be destroyed.

However, Gu Tongwan had only experienced one major earthquake during the last few years of the apocalypse. According to experts from the Meteorological Bureau, there would not be another major earthquake in the next fifteen years. Of course, it was hard to say whether there would be another one after this, after all, she herself had not lived to see that time.

The reason why she firmly believed that the dungeon would become a fortress was that she had used a luck card once during the system lottery. The luck card could be exchanged for corresponding points or for an answer from the system.

[I want to know if underground cities will be the place where humans will live in the future? ]

System [The underground city is the most correct decision made by mankind so far. In the next twenty years, it will become the most solid fortress in the end times. ]

This was the system's answer, but it also gave Gu Tongwan peace of mind. At least the decision to settle in the underground city was the right one.

"Sister Wanwan, if I don't have that much money, I plan to go out to work and earn some." Yan Fan spoke sincerely, and there seemed to be light in his eyes when he looked at Gu Tongwan.

Gu Tongwan looked up at him, his hand holding the chopsticks stagnating for a moment: "What kind of job are you going to do?"

Seeing that she had no objection to him going out to work, Yan Fan felt relieved and at ease.

"The Hunter Association will regularly announce some tasks on the forum, and free hunters and people with special abilities can accept orders at any time. Well, you can think of it as a delivery and order-grabbing service similar to the one before the end of the world. Those with fast hands can grab the tasks, but there are some special tasks that need to be selected by the publisher, or there are requirements for the corresponding level of special abilities." Yan Fan took a sip of juice and briefly explained the content of the work he was going to do.

Gu Tongwan drummed his fingers on the table, leaned back, and had a knowing smile on his face.

Instead, Yan Fan was confused by her appearance.

"Sister Wanwan?"

"I'm sorry, the job you mentioned reminds me of the games I saw in Internet cafes during my summer job. They were similar to online games, with various tasks issued by the Hunter Guild or the Adventurer Guild. You can freely choose the tasks according to the content, and you will receive corresponding bonuses after completing the tasks. Sometimes I really feel that our world is like another online game world, but in the game, you can start over if you die, but in real life, if you die, you really disappear."

Yan Fan nodded: "Yes, maybe the world in the end times is just a real-life game. With superpowers, plant and animal mutations, and all kinds of natural disasters, this is a doomsday game for humans."

Gu Tongwan thought to herself, she was a reborn person and was cheating on the system. Of course, she couldn’t let anyone know about this.

"Okay, now that you are a C-level psychic, you should be able to get some good missions. But I have a request. If it is a very dangerous mission, I hope you can discuss it with me before making a decision. After all, I am still your guardian now."

"Sister Wanwan, thank you." Yan Fan responded with a smile, and a shallow dimple appeared on both sides of her mouth, which made Gu Tongwan smile.

After having a better diet during this period, his face has gained some weight and he looks much more handsome. No wonder many girls turned back when he went to the commercial street with him recently. It turned out that they were going there for him.

Just after dinner, Gu Tongwan received a call from Liao Yunyun, but Liao Yunyun seemed to be in a wind outlet, and the wind on the other end of the phone was whistling.

"Wanwan, I may have to trouble you with something tonight. I was in a hurry to go out and forgot to bring my door key. I guess I will have to ask the locksmith company to come to my house tomorrow, but I may have to stay at your place tonight." Liao Yunyun was so anxious that she kept grabbing her hair. If the station's top boss hadn't directly mentioned on the phone that she and another photographer must go out on a field trip tonight, she wouldn't have run out in such a hurry while she was still watching TV.

"It's no problem for you to stay overnight. I have a room here. But why are you going out at this time?" It was 8:15 in the evening. Although young people were still looking for the fun of "nightlife" during this time, there were not many places to have fun in the base. In addition, the environment had just eased, so very few people were willing to go out at night.

Liao Yunyun glanced at the several rows of armed Self-Defense Forces in front of her and explained helplessly: "I'm following a big news. It is said that something happened in the underground city. More than a dozen people disappeared down there today."

"Aren't there people stranded in the underground city every day? This won't be on the news, right?"

Gu Tongwan had just released Aoao and Tutu from the space. The two dogs kept rubbing against her legs as soon as they came out. Their hair had dried and the mud and sand on their bodies had been washed clean. So she rewarded them with a piece of rib-eye steak that she had prepared in advance. Normally, she herself was reluctant to eat it. If the two dogs had not been so obedient, she would not have given them a treat. Although their favorite was the meat of mutant beasts, they also liked good quality beef. Even though the space was good, she could only reward them with two kilograms each time as a treat.

At this time, bursts of car horns and various noisy conversations came from Liao Yunyun's direction. It could be felt that she was in a place with many people and vehicles.

“The bad thing is that among the missing people there are two second-generation rich people, who should be the children of a certain leader. And I heard that these people were not stranded, but disappeared after entering the danger zone. Our leader received news that there is a high possibility of demons in the underground city.” Liao Yunyun covered her hand with the side of the phone, trying to keep her voice down as much as possible, and her eyes were fixed on the captain of the fourth squad of the guard team leading the team in front.

"I'm at the entrance to Dungeon B now. Did you know that the leader of the guard tonight is Chen Ruhai, the psychic ranked 39th in the A-level? It is said that he already has S-level abilities, but he is unwilling to continue to rise, so he has remained at his original level. In addition, there are six A-level psychics around him. There are nearly a hundred people from the Self-Defense Force alone, and they are all psychics."

"The demon species is an A-level mutant beast. If it's just for hunting, there shouldn't be a need to mobilize so many people. Did something else happen?" Gu Tongwan thought of the biker gang he met in the danger zone this afternoon. For some reason, he always felt that the people who disappeared in the dungeon might be them.

Liao Yunyun walked to a slightly more open place. Several colleagues across from her were already calling her name, so she quickened her speech: "It should be a mutated demon species. A guard team had already entered the dungeon to clear it out, but something unexpected happened. Even the drone was destroyed. I guess they must have encountered a difficult situation, so they sent a big shot like Chen Ruhai to lead the team. I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go down to the dungeon right away."

"Wait, if the dungeon is really that dangerous, will it be okay for you to go down?" Gu Tongwan was still worried about his friend's personal safety.

"It doesn't matter. The psychics going down this time account for two-thirds, and there are seven A-level psychics alone. They even brought heavy weapons for support. This scale is enough to suppress a small-scale beast tide. What's more, as a front-line reporter, I'm standing in the back and recording. The whole process is operated by drones. I'm just serving as a live announcer. Don't worry, I cherish my life very much. I can't afford to lose my life for work." There was no fear in Liao Yunyun's tone. It seemed that the base was indeed well prepared this time.

"Then be careful and call me when you're done." Gu Tongwan had just given a few words of instruction when the other party hung up the phone in a hurry.

Yan Fan saw her coming downstairs with a worried look on her face, and after knowing that it was because of Liao Yunyun's matter, he comforted her: "Sister Yunyun is very smart, she won't do anything risky, and since the base allows the media to enter, it means that at least their safety can be guaranteed."

"I hope so, but if it really is a mutated demon species, is it possible that there is only one?" Gu Tongwan couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Yan Fan was training his supernatural powers. Now he could easily catalyze two ice cones in one or two seconds, and could play with the ice cones in his hands according to his will. Looking at the ten-centimeter ice cones, he waved his hands slightly, and two ice cones shot towards the open door and hit the hard concrete floor directly.

The mutant demon species, this mutant beast that only exists in rumors, is said to have the powerful strength to crush B-level mutants. More importantly, this mutant beast has become intelligent, so it can easily hunt mutant beasts of the same level, but for some reason the base has never released any detailed information about it, so it can only exist in word of mouth.

Ordinary demons are enough to make people shudder. If they are mutated demons, will their intelligence and abilities surpass those of humans?

———Dungeon

Liao Yunyun couldn't help but shiver. Sitting in the back row, she would never have thought that she would enter the dungeon she had been dreaming of under such circumstances.

Just this morning she was still frantically browsing information about the dungeon on the forum, imagining how exciting it would be to go on a day trip into the dungeon. This is a completely new and unknown world, and it might even become the residence of future humans.

But when she actually entered the underground city, she found that imagination was beautiful, but reality was cruel. This pitch-black place was where humans would live in the future?

In fact, she was not the only one who thought so. The recorder girl next to her had already started complaining: "This is the underground city. It looks so gloomy. Can humans live in such a place?"

The interview team sent a total of four people, a photographer, a drone operator, a recorder, and a reporter. They were two men and two women in the team, each with different responsibilities, but they had worked together for a while so they were already very familiar with each other. After seeing the recorder's disgusted look, the photographer smiled and said, "I seem to have heard that two-thirds of the lighting equipment will be turned off at night to save power, so it will look a little dark here, but some places are as bright as day during the day."

"This young man is right. It's very bright during the day. It's not that dark at all." The driver was a member of the Self-Defense Force. In addition to the four of them, there were three other members of the Self-Defense Force in the car, and they were all people with special abilities.

At this time, the other member of the co-pilot seat had a gloomy expression and whispered, "We are about to enter the danger zone, everyone cheer up."
