Chapter 283.2: Level B4, Unlocked!
Before coming down, Chu Guang deliberately took a deep breath, just to make a comparison of the air qualities between level B4 and other floors.
Chu Guang took a look around. It was as clean and spotless as the level B3 when it was just opened, even more dust-free than the dust-free workshop of an electronics factory.
However the difference was...
There was no familiar square the functional divisions. There was only a corridor extending straight.
Chu Guang looked up and saw that there was a door at the end of the corridor that opened to the side.
Based on the floor plan on the wall, the corresponding position of the corridor in front of him should be the horizontal line in the middle of the letter ‘G’.
"Little Seven, go ahead and explore the way."
"Okay, master." Little Seven rolled the wheels forward immediately. It had long been used to its master’s caution.
Seeing Little Seven moving towards the end of the corridor, Chu Guang also took a step towards the outside of the elevator. The next second, he noticed a note at the elevator door.
That was the only thing that was left there.Chu Guang reached out to pick it up and read the familiar handwriting.
[To the administrator of Shelter 404 and my successor:]
[... Is there any creature in this world more suitable to be exploited than players? Remember what I said to you at the beginning? Presumably you should have realized my genius by now!]
[Hahahaha, I am a genius who packaged the whole world into a game!]
[Please don’t worship me!]
"..."
Who the hell are you?!
Leave a name at least!
But frankly speaking, it was indeed really incredible to be able to invent this the morphoforming field device which was most definitely a singularity-level technology.
At least even the archaeological experts of the Academy couldn’t understand it.
However, the first administrator obviously didn’t know how to make games. From the player interface to the core gameplay, as well as the rich economic systems, contribution systems, and the current game screenshot function… He designed them all!
Chu Guang admitted that the guy was a genius, but he was not perfect.
In terms of admiration, he did admire his ingenuity, but not a lot.
[... Ahem, that’s enough of a joke. I’m glad you passed my first test. An incompetent person who only knows how to complain all day long is absolutely impossible to come to this floor. And now that you are standing here, I can finally heave a sigh of relief and officially entrust one of my most precious treasures to you. ]
[Give yourself an applause, you deserve this honor! The treasure chest belonging to the brave one is at the end of this maze, it’s not even hidden. Go, don’t stand at the door of the elevator stupidly, you are really dumb when you let the little thing go to the front to explore the way. Can I, a person who is already dead, still harm you? Don’t let them wait any longer.]
[By the way, for the sake of helping you so much, can you tell me what year it is now?]
[Don’t write it on paper and burn it to me, I don’t believe in that. Anyway, you won’t even be able to light this paper on fire. You can tell me quietly. Just treat it as a secret between the two of us.]
The note ended there and it wasn’t signed.
"It is now 2341, the 212th year of the Wasteland Era..."
Subconsciously blurting out the request of the first administrator, Chu Guang suddenly felt that he was really silly. He angrily crumpled the note into a ball, stuffed it into his pocket, and then walked towards the end of the corridor.
What a waste of my time!
After going through the open alloy door, the area ahead suddenly opened up.
Several sofas were placed in a semi-curved room.
It appeared to be a reading room, but there were no books or anything else on the shelves against the walls.
The coffee machine leaning against the side of the corridor was a surprise. The retro shape allowed Chu Guang to understand the function of the item at a glance.
Yin Fang had been complaining to him before that Shelter 404 was so poor that he didn’t even have a coffee machine. That annoying doctor could finally shut up.
Well, too bad there were no coffee beans in it. Until they found a supply of beans, the machine could only be used as a water dispenser.
"This should be a rest area or a reading room."
The space was quite large, more than half the size of a school playground. Although there were not many sofas, people still could sit on the ground; it would not be too crowded to accommodate 400 or 500 people.
However, apart from the function of taking a nap, Chu Guang, who had taken a look around, really couldn’t think of any reason it existed.
Little Seven also buzzed in confusion. "But... Why can’t I see a single book here?"
"Perhaps the people of the Prosperity Era have other ways to record information..." Chu Guang replied casually, looking at the door at the end of the curved corridor. "Let’s move on."
Behind the rest area was the fitness area. In the spacious room, there were some strange fitness equipment on display, as well as several massage chair-like devices.
"It’s much easier to understand here, it should be a place for exercise."
Shelter 117 also had similar facilities. Good living habits could keep the body and mind healthy.
Chu Guang still remembered seeing on the forum before that some strength type players had studied something like that. They could accumulate the development progress of the genetic sequence through continuous anaerobic exercise and stimulate certain DNA-specific expressions.
However, that required a lot of perseverance, and the process would be more boring than cutting down trees.
Unless it was Garbage who couldn’t do anything else in winter, few people could really withstand it.
Chu Guang did not carefully study the functions of those devices, but he chose to continue to explore the treasures left by the first administrator.
Behind the fitness area was a closed door. Judging from the notice written on the wall, one needed the administrator’s authority to unlock it. Unauthorized entry could trigger alarms.
Chu Guang had obtained all the permissions on level B4, so he was naturally unimpeded.
Rows of metal cabinets were displayed in the room. Chu Guang stepped forward holding his breath and opened a cabinet casually. When he saw the contents inside, his eyes widened in shock.
"Light Cavalry Exoskeleton?!"
With a thought in his heart, Chu Guang immediately opened the next cabinet.
Not surprisingly, there was also a set inside!
"Holy shit!"
"I’m rich!"
Although it was a police exoskeleton, it was pre-war equipment. The polymer bulletproof plate was not durable, but its defensive power was absolutely undisputed. The bullets of ordinary light weapons couldn’t penetrate it at all, and the steel plate could be replaced if it was damaged.
With an ecstatic expression on his face, Chu Guang couldn’t wait to open all the cabinets in the maintenance room and count them all.
A total of 200 sets of Type 5 Light Cavalry Exoskeleton!
There were also 20 sets of Type 6 Heavy Cavalry Exoskeletons!
In addition, there were more than 300 palm-sized programmable short-range drones with flexible rotor blades. They could be used to automatically follow the operators or enemies within 400 meters. And while synchronizing with the camera on the helmet eyepiece in real time, it could also act as a law enforcement recorder!
When not in use, it could also be charged on the right shoulder of the exoskeleton, leaving only the camera section outside. It was very easy to use!
Chu Guang studied it carefully.
The equipment stored in the cabinet was much more comprehensive than the Type 5 and Type 6 exoskeletons he got from the loot box!
With those exoskeletons and drones, he could easily set up a semi-mechanized light infantry company.
Coupled with a few anti-aircraft autocannons and recoilless gun vehicles converted from trucks, he had everything that a mechanized army should have!
Little Seven moved closer to Chu Guang’s calf, and the camera above its head tilted left and right curiously. "I didn’t expect that after more than 200 years, these are still as good as new.”
"Maybe this floor was just ventilated when we came in, or maybe it’s some special technology... Who knows." Chu Guang temporarily put the exoskeleton he took out back into the cabinet with a look of reluctance.
Damn it!
Why doesn’t he give me these good things sooner!
In addition to the exoskeleton and supporting drones, there were more than 300 batons and explosion-proof shields, as well as 50 Silver Snake revolvers, They were the same as those he picked up on level B2 before.
Perhaps it was predicted that after the shelter was opened, there would be some powerful monsters outside, so those pistols were of a large caliber.
However, Chu Guang was a little surprised that he didn’t see any traces of a rifle or a submachine gun.
"Speaking of which... There’s one more thing I can’t figure out." Chu Guang stared at the door leading to the gym and the rest area as he thought out loud. "Why is the equipment room for storing equipment behind the rest area and the fitness area?"
The layout was very strange.
Logically speaking, each floor should have a corresponding function. But no matter how hard Chu Guang thought about it, he still couldn’t figure out the connection between the room and the first 2 rooms.
Little Seven: "Hmm... Maybe the equipment was transferred from somewhere else? Like the equipment rooms on level B1 and B3?"
Little Seven’s reminder reminded Chu Guang that the two exits of the shelter also had similar maintenance rooms, right between the airlock room and the giant gear-shaped metal gate.
The cabinets there were slightly larger, and players were currently renting them out as lockers.
Now that he thought about it…
It was really possible that those equipment were transferred over from those 2 places.
"Makes sense." Chu Guang looked towards the door at the end of the maintenance room.
That was the last unexplored area.
Chu Guang had reasons to believe that what the first administrator called treasures certainly couldn’t be more than 200 sets of exoskeletons.
Unlocking the last door with his permission, Chu Guang walked in with Little Seven.
It was a circular room, and it was very dark inside. However, the moment he stepped into the room, a soft light slowly lit up the entire place.
4 familiar devices lined up quietly in the room, making Chu Guang suck in a cold breath.
Black boxes!
The omnipotent wishing machine in the eyes of countless wastelanders, the crystallization of advanced productivity and technology of pre-war civilization!
There were 4 of them!
However, what surprised him the most was not the 4 black boxes lying in the corner of the room, but the pitch-black cylinder that was as thick as a thousand year old tree in the center of the room. Well, it was more like a cylindrical terminal.
Intuition told him that was the treasure the first administrator referred to!
"Little Seven..."
The paper bin, who was following Chu Guang, raised its camera sensibly. "I’m here, master, do you need me to go up and have a look?"
"... No need, wait for me here."
With apprehension and excitement, Chu Guang walked up to the black cylinder. The diameter of more than 10 meters made him look as small as a leaf.
How do I use this?
Thinking so in his heart, Chu Guang subconsciously put his palm on it. Immediately, a cold feeling came from the metal shell before blue light ripples appeared on it.
Hologram?
Before Chu Guang realized what had happened, countless light blue particles of light like stars all over the sky sprinkled from the canopy landed around him.
Chu Guang swallowed and looked at everything around him, his eyes filled with surprise and bewilderment.
"… This." Just as he spoke, lines of familiar IDs appeared in his pupils through light particles.
Not only that, but also the corresponding serial number.
Chu Guang immediately understood what he was staring at.
"...This is the Morphogenetic field?"
Or the tip of the iceberg?
From the ripples flickering on the light particles, Chu Guang found that he could faintly perceive those fluctuating emotions.
Invisible threads crossed the walls of the dimension one by one, connecting the mirror consciousness bodies that were flickering from time to time.
Chu Guang didn’t understand the principle, but he could sense their presence.
"It turns out that the nurturing cabin is just a signal repeater... This terminal is the port connecting to a different world!"
"That is to say... The destruction of the nurturing cabin will not result in the cancellation of the player’s account?"
In other words, the resurrection point could be deployed outside the safe zone!
Chu Guang thoughtfully controlled the screen with his index finger, and a row of light blue windows appeared in front of him.
