Crane tail salted fish from the Academy of the Brave

Chapter 204 The hope of underground survival

Laurent originally thought that he was not far from the city, but he still misjudged the scale of the map.It took almost a day to walk on the completely lifeless land, but the two of them didn't even cover the normal distance.

There were no animals in the wasteland. It was estimated that most of the animals had been parasitized by the mechanical bugs. However, the water bottle the boy carried was broken and there was not much food left.

Lauren devoured the carcasses of some killed animals before setting off, so he replenished enough energy and water, otherwise he would probably lose his strength soon.Before reaching level 50, the humanoid race would still be affected by basic physiological needs, so he felt that this boy might not be able to survive anymore.

"Sir, we are still... six thousand five hundred riels away from the city."

This unit of length is unique to this world, and Lauren can't figure out how different it is from the standard unit of the multidimensional world.But as a rough guess, it will probably take another day to arrive.

"Wait a moment, I'll contact my friend."

"Friends? Are there any other scavengers...travelers like you?"

I know you think of me as a trash picker!But at least you have to tell Ye Ying about it first.

"Hey, I rescued a boy not long ago, and he said he would take me to a place called Delta City."

"Really? I understand. I will rush there as soon as possible. The people I meet here belong to Beta City, and I have established initial trust with them. 』

It seems that there are still many cities in this world, which means that civilization has not been cut off yet.This world has summoned its own heroes...perhaps because it wants to preserve this last spark of fire.

"Wait, there are dead animals over there... can they be eaten?"

"Sir? Have you ever eaten those animals? Don't you have an implanted neural support system? Animals will be injected with supermicro digital viruses after being parasitized! If we eat their meat casually, our support system will be infected! "

"Really, but I didn't pretend to be those things."

Moreover, Laurent does not eat directly with his mouth, but directly uses his divine corrosive cells to devour and decompose all organic matter.Under high-level terminal power, these so-called infections will have no effect at all.

But this means that it is difficult for humans in this world to even eat meat?

"I haven't pretended...how is that possible! How can a scavenger survive in the wild with nothing?"

"You'd better not ask so many questions. It's not good for you."

It seems that people in this world have to use this kind of thing to live. It is indeed a technological level 4 world. Even if civilization is about to be destroyed, it still has a unique way of survival.

But Laurent can't say that he is from another world, because he still doesn't know how much people in this world can bear.If these people regard all outsiders as enemies, then their work will not be easy.

And it may also affect those classmates who have not been able to establish contact...especially Jing, I don't know how she is now.

Although she has always said that she doesn't have too many thoughts about Jing, she is a woman of the same age who can communicate with her in a normal manner after all. Even if there is no further opportunity, she can't just let it go.

After all, I am a nerd, and I have some delusions about being popular.

"Can't you get in touch with the classmates who were summoned before?"

"No, their terminals probably don't have anti-chaos interference modules, so there's no way to establish direct contact."The two of us should have downloaded the relevant information before departure so we could keep in touch. 』

If Ye Ying can't do anything, then he won't think about it for the time being.

"Huh... Mr. Jaeger, I need a break."

"This pronunciation... forget it, I feel like the explanation is too long."

It seems that the pronunciation of the name I said is different in these people's ears, and Lauren doesn't care what they call him. Anyway, as long as his real name is not revealed, there will be no big trouble.

Because maybe the guy who plots against him has set an ambush in advance.

"I haven't been to the city for a long time. Can you tell me what's going on in the city now?"

"Huh...Delta City is a transportation hub, responsible for coordinating the supplies and personnel of several surrounding cities. It is also the place where most people who study how to fight against mechanical disaster beasts communicate."

"Do you have any countermeasures against those things?"

Lauren was really curious about whether the people in this world could resist the mechanical parasites that lived on animals. Those bugs obviously had their own civilization system, which probably evolved from things like out-of-control artificial intelligence.

"No, because those guys will also use special digital viruses to infect human neural auxiliary systems...those infected people will also become puppets."

That thing can even parasitize people?When Lauren thought about it, he felt a little scary. It was obviously just a machine but it had to be a parasite on a living organism in order to move. So what did they live for?
"Then my luck is really good, otherwise I would have died in the wild."

"luck?"

The young man looked unconvinced...Forget it, there's no way to explain it.

"Anyway, you should rest first. We will continue walking in a while."

The sky was gradually getting darker. Lauren made a simple estimate. A day here is about 100 hours. Although I don't know how much the measurement unit here is different from the unified standard of the multi-dimensional world, ten days in the Infinite City... probably in this It must be more than [-] days.

The flow of time in this world is originally a thousand times faster?No wonder the end-of-life process evolved so quickly that even the Space-Time Administration failed to deal with it immediately.

After a brief rest, the boy named Ben recovered some of his strength, and the two continued to move towards the city.Although he didn't eat or drink, the boy's endurance was stronger than Lauren expected.It is estimated that the people here have developed this kind of endurance in order to survive, otherwise civilization would have been extinct long ago.

"Sir, that's the entrance to the city..."

So after walking for a long time, here is a flat land... What?underground?
An inconspicuous door slowly opened under the cover of a pile of rubble, revealing a downward walking ladder.This is probably not the main entrance, otherwise it would be impossible for such a huge transport plane to enter from here.But Laurent didn't have any doubts. He followed the boy down the stairs, and then the door outside slowly closed again.

"This is a special passage for our resistance forces. Scavengers like you, sir, generally have to wait for the big elevator to come out before they have a chance to enter the city."

"Then my luck is really good."

Laurent repeated this sentence again, but this time the boy did not question it.

The further you go down, the fresher air becomes richer. It seems that the facilities here are quite complete, but this is not so much a city as -

A very large underground shelter.

　Let me ask, no one reads long chapters of more than [-] words?If so, I will honestly break it next time.
