Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

The people in the car immediately restrained their relaxed posture because of this sentence, even Liao Yunyun straightened her back and her expression became serious.

The windows of the van were half open. Even in the underground city, there was still a cold wind blowing outside. The wind carried a fishy smell of mud, and the sound of the wheels rolling over the mud kept echoing in the ears. On both sides was an endless desolate scenery. At first, it was a very empty place, and you could see traces of excavation. Perhaps this place will be set up for other purposes in the next few years.

But as the car went deeper into the cave, the scenery changed. It gradually became less open and the stone walls on both sides gradually narrowed. Compared with the open scenery just now, this place looked more like a long and narrow corridor.

The street lights outside the window are hazy, like tall and thin ghosts, and the visibility here can only be guaranteed to be visible within a range of ten meters. If a street light is occasionally turned off or not lit, you can only rely on the headlights to illuminate the road ahead.

Liao Yunyun picked up the detection instrument in her hand, which was assigned to their interview team by the leader before they set out. The instrument can check the current depth, temperature, humidity and other conditions of the underground city.

"The current depth is 503 meters, the nearest exit is 32 kilometers away, the temperature is 12 degrees, and the humidity is 4." Liao Yunyun took a breath of the muddy air and looked out the window again. At this time, the corridor could only be barely considered a two-way lane, and water could be seen flowing on the stone walls on both sides.

The Self-Defense Force member who was driving probably wanted to ease everyone's tension, so he smiled and said, "Actually, I was also very nervous when I first went down to the underground city. Especially at that time, the underground city had just been excavated and the environment was even worse than here. But many interesting things also happened, such as seeing light blue fireflies."

"Blue fireflies? Aren't they usually green? The ones I've seen on TV are all green. This is the first time I've heard of blue ones." The recorder girl suddenly became interested. She put her hands on the back of the chair and stretched her neck as if she wanted to listen to a story.

"Actually, they are mutant fireflies. They look about the same size as ordinary fireflies, but they appear blue at night. Most importantly, there are very few of them. They usually appear in groups of 20 to 33, and they will dissipate within 20 minutes after being caught."

"Dissipate?" Liao Yunyun was not interested at first, but now she became curious. Why didn't they say death but dissipation?

The Self-Defense Force member laughed and said, "Because the fireflies turn into powder and dissipate into the air about five minutes after they are caught."

"Why is it so strange? There is not even any insect remains left?" the recorder girl asked curiously.

At this time, the co-pilot member also joined the topic: "There are so many strange things in the dungeon. This is still fun. After all, those fireflies can still lead us when necessary. Generally speaking, the dungeon is safe now. Of course, the premise is not to enter the danger zone. It is already a dangerous area. If someone insists on breaking in, they are courting death."

He didn't care at all about the eleven people who disappeared in the underground city. In fact, if it weren't for these people, there would be no need for them to work overtime so late at night and even take the risk to rescue people.

Afterwards, in order not to deepen the fear of the dungeon, the driver could only talk about interesting things in the dungeon. Unknowingly, more than half an hour had passed, and the number of lights in the corridor had been reduced from one every thirty or forty meters to one every seventy or eighty meters.

Although the recorder girl is small in stature, she is actually very brave. At this time, she lowered her voice and said, "The environment here reminds me of a book."

"What?" The photographer glanced at the girl.

The girl looked mysterious. "It reminds me of Ghost Blows Out the Light. Do you think the street lamps next to me look like burning candles in this environment?"

"Stop, stop. Can you please stop saying such horrible things, girl? I'm already cold enough." The drone guy gritted his teeth and glared at the girl.

"You're afraid of ghosts? Hehe, I just said it casually, and the environment here is really similar to that in the end times. If you need to shoot a horror movie in the end times, you can just shoot it here. There's no need to build a shed at all." The recorder girl leaned back a little. She was not afraid of ghosts. She had been struggling in the end times for almost four years, and what she feared most was people. Human hearts were much more terrifying than mutant beasts and demons.

Liao Yunyun frowned and reminded everyone, "We are getting farther and farther away from the exit. We are currently 1023 meters deep into the underground city. The passage we just came down is a slope, which means we are in a concave part of the underground city, right?"

"Yes, this is indeed an area similar to a basin. There are many similar corridors. We are currently taking Exit A1. If we continue driving about five kilometers forward, there will be a fork in the road. We will name it with a specific combination of letters and numbers. The large corridors here are artificially excavated, and the small corridors are naturally formed. As for what is inside, it is hard to say. Generally, there are high-voltage wires on the periphery. But if there are really demon species here as the citizens say, the high-voltage wires cannot intercept such monsters at all." The driver couldn't help but tighten his grip on the steering wheel when he said this.

The vehicle in front stopped about ten meters away, and the radio used for communication in the car made a "crackling" sound.

[Attention all personnel, pick up your weapons and prepare to get off the vehicle in half a minute. The heavy firepower team will provide support from the side. The exploration team will report the specific situation at any time.]

After hearing the instructions on the walkie-talkie, regardless of whether they were psychics or not, everyone grabbed the pistols in their hands. Non-psychics like the interview team could only be careful and cautious about their surroundings. Except for the photographer and the drone guy who had to hold relevant equipment in their hands, the recorder girl held the baseball bat in her hand tightly. When necessary, the power of a baseball bat can be more useful than a knife.

Liao Yunyun was no exception. She instantly pulled out a pistol from her waist, which scared the people in the car.

"It's a self-defense item." Liao Yunyun said lightly.

The recorder bit her lower lip tightly, and after a while she gave Liao Yunyun a thumbs up. "Sister Yunyun, you are awesome. You can even get this thing. It seems that ordinary people don't dare to mess with you."

Liao Yunyun sighed: "There is no other way. Girls always have to learn how to protect themselves. How can we do that without some weapons?"

"I also want to have weapons for self-protection, but I can't afford them." Currently, weapons can be purchased through two channels in the base. One is at the trading center, and the second is on the black market. The former is moderately priced but requires going to the relevant department to apply for weapons certificates and passing layers of identity review, so it is difficult for ordinary people to buy it.

The latter can be purchased directly, but the price is generally several times higher than the market price. A revolver can be sold for nearly 20,000 points.

In addition to the pistol in her hand, Liao Yunyun also has a mini ladies' pistol hidden in a drawer at home. When Gu Tongwan gave it to her, he even gave her dozens of bullets. If these two guns and dozens of bullets were purchased at the trading center, it would cost tens of thousands.

As soon as they got off the car, several people shivered at the same time. With the wind blowing in front, their body temperature suddenly dropped below ten degrees.

"Eight degrees? Are you crazy? Is it so cold in the dungeon?" The drone guy muttered to himself while holding the drone tightly in his hand. This is a valuable item. There are only about thirty drones left in the station since the last hunting conference. The remaining ones that need to be repaired are still in the warehouse. At this stage, there is a lack of repair personnel, and the repair cost is higher than the value of the drone itself, so it has been shelved. Before setting off, the director repeatedly reminded him to protect the unit's property.

"The temperature here is still dropping." Liao Yunyun wrapped her clothes tightly and looked at the stone wall beside her. She could see that it was covered with a thin layer of frost.

"It is rumored that demons like cold and fear heat. Generally, demons live in extremely cold places. It is previously rumored that demons appear in the area north of the Yangtze River. There are very few rumors of demons appearing here." The driver whispered.

The recorder girl asked, "Hasn't the base captured mutants before? Are mutants a type of demon? Are they the same creature?"

"Demons are a subgenus of mutants. In fact, the two are very different. It should be said that demons are just a branch of mutants. They have the same genes, but they are more powerful than mutants and have greater supernatural energy. Their crystal cores are very precious. Currently, the only demon crystal core announced to the world is in Eagle Country."

"That is to say, demons are actually more difficult to capture, and they shouldn't appear in dungeons?" the recorder girl said in surprise.

The driver nodded, and then the order to move forward came from the walkie-talkie, interrupting the others from continuing the topic.

The cold wind in the corridor was not only blowing from the front, but there seemed to be wind above their heads as well, so everyone looked up and was surprised to find that the dungeon was only gradually becoming cramped on the two sides, but actually the top of their heads was very empty, as if the top was not visible, with only a dark part that was invisible to the top.

"Tsk, what the hell place have we come to? I really don't want to stay here any longer."

The drone guy was panting. He was the only one wearing the least among the people today. He was always proud of his height of 1.8 meters and weight of 200 kilograms. After all, it was rare to see fat people in the end times. At least it proved that the food at home was really good. In addition, he wore a thin denim jacket when he came down. He said that he was thick-skinned and had a lot of fat. Fat people were afraid of heat but not cold, and didn't take the temperature of the dungeon seriously at all. Now, seeing that others at least listened to the advice and wore a thin cotton coat, he felt so regretful.

Liao Yunyun walked over to the drone guy and whispered, "The channel the station manager asked you to connect to is 090, right? Can you send out two more channels?"

The drone has set up the connection channel in advance. Generally, if there are no major problems with the signal, it will be transmitted to the station. Currently, the department's editing team is ready to work overtime and is waiting for the video data to be transmitted back.

“Of course you can, but didn’t the director say that the video footage cannot be leaked?” The drone guy frowned, holding the phone that had just been connected to the drone.

Liao Yunyun lowered her voice and looked anxious: "I have a friend who is also a superpower. I want him to see the situation here. Don't worry, the information will not be leaked. If you want to leak it, just give me away."

Seeing that the other party was still hesitant, Liao Yunyun could only beg: "Brother Zhang, please be kind, just this once? Don't you know my temper? How could I do such a thing?"

"What does your friend being a psychic have to do with this matter?" The drone guy looked at her in confusion, but in fact he was already shaken.

"He is a member of the guard team and just wants to know about the situation in the underground city." Liao Yunyun answered truthfully.

Finally, the drone guy couldn't stand Liao Yunyun's nagging, so he had to agree and agreed to connect directly to her phone.

At this time, Chen Ruhai, who was at the front of the team, led the team to move forward. The eight B-level psychics in front were walking in the front as an exploration team. More than 20 meters away were Chen Ruhai and others. The interview team followed closely behind them, and five Self-Defense Force members were left behind with guns to cover their retreat, while several people holding heavy machine guns and small rocket launchers surrounded and moved forward from the side.

The closer we got to the location where Wang Shu lost contact with the signal, the more we felt that the air was flowing very slowly. The only sound here was the whistling wind, except for the footsteps.

"Sister Yunyun, do you smell a strong fishy smell..."

At this time, Liao Yunyun pursed her lips. Not only her, but in fact everyone present smelled the smell, because the smell of blood in the air was too strong, accompanied by the cold wind, the smell was simply nauseating.

Everyone endured the discomfort and continued to move forward.

"Captain Chen, there's something going on ahead."

The voice of the exploration team came through the intercom.

"Have you found the target of attack?" The pressure emanating from Chen Ruhai instantly overflowed, and the guard team member closest to him immediately felt a horrifying sensation.

The person in front continued to answer: "No mutant beasts were found... Oops, is that Captain Wang of the Seventh Squad ahead?"

The voice on the intercom spoke much faster. Chen Ruhai hurried forward, but the tragedy in front of him still made his pupils shrink suddenly.

The scene in front of us can no longer be described as corpses everywhere. Perhaps the term "broken limbs" would be more appropriate, because the ground was littered with human limbs, but there was not a single complete body.

And they finally knew the source of the disgusting smell of blood, which came from the blood spilled all over the ground.

Hands, feet, knees, even a headless body, everything was like entering purgatory.

Some people with lower psychological quality were deeply shocked by the tragic scene. Some of them immediately turned their heads and started vomiting, but the guards still stood very straight. After all, those who participated in the suppression of the beast tide had crawled out of the pile of dead bodies. However, they still looked away with some physical discomfort and tried to accept everything in front of them as much as possible.

"buzzing"

A drone slowly rose overhead, but its flight was not smooth.

Liao Yunyun noticed from the corner of her eye that the drone guy's hands were shaking like sieves.
