Chapter 542 Floating City
"Is this the thing?" Enzo looked at the energy source in his hand.
It was an oval-shaped crystal, with a golden luster throughout, like a huge amber, emitting strong energy fluctuations, and its surface was covered with mucus secreted from the zombie's abdomen, making it look a little disgusting.
"It seems that we can no longer stay in this shelter."
Putting away the golden crystal source, Enzo shook his head, his face slightly solemn. The water purification device was damaged, which meant that after the water source of the shelter was exhausted, the place would gradually become deserted.
It also means that Enzo must find a new refuge.
…
"It's over, it's completely over now."
In the underground bar, Uriah looked pale and said, "The water purification device is destroyed, which means that we will not be able to extract clean water from the ground, and the shelter will be abandoned soon."
In the doomsday wasteland era, water is more precious than food.
A shelter that loses its water purification device will eventually become deserted. Even if the survivors force themselves to stay here, they will eventually fall into a crisis of death due to water source problems.
"Is there no other way?" Wayne gritted his teeth.
He had just become the boss of the underground shelter and had not enjoyed it for a while. He really couldn't accept the decision to abandon the shelter because he cast pleading glances at Uriah and Enzo.
"Don't look at me, I can't help it."
Uriah shook his head and sighed, "I have just checked that the damage to the water purification device is almost impossible to repair. Even if it is possible, it is not something we can do."
Suddenly, Wayne fell into despair.
Enzo remained silent and did not take the initiative to speak. In fact, as long as he had enough materials, he had the ability to repair the water purification device, but the cost of doing so would be worse than plundering a new shelter.
So Enzo wasn't planning on fixing the water purification unit.
"How long can our water supply last?" Enzo asked.
"At most...two months." Uriah sighed and shook his head, saying, "Within two months, we must find a new shelter. Enzo is a hunter, and he will not refuse any shelter." .”
"Our lives are guaranteed, but others are not."
If a shelter is in crisis, it will inevitably mean the death of many people. This is almost unavoidable. There are about 800 survivors in underground shelter 72. No shelter will accept so many people.
Wayne and his gang can find a new source of support in Enzo's identity as a hunter.
As for the others, they can only resign themselves to their fate. Those who are lucky will pay some price and be accepted by a nearby shelter, while those who are unlucky can only wander around the surface and eventually die from radiation or infection.
"Damn it!!" Wayne roared angrily and slammed the table.
After finally becoming the ruler of a sanctuary, it was really hard for him to accept everything now. Wayne was filled with unwillingness, but he had no choice but to get furious.
"After some time, we can try to contact Vault 65."
After a while, Uriah sighed and said, "I heard that the boss there lost many of his men because he killed a mutated beast. If he can get a new hunter, he will definitely not refuse."
"We don't need to rely on anyone." At this time, Enzo said.
Uriah and Wayne were both stunned. Seeing Enzo's calm expression, Uriah's pupils shrank, as if he had guessed something, and hesitantly said: "What do you mean..."
“Instead of relying on others, it’s better to take the initiative.”
Enzo shrugged and said indifferently: "Anyway, this is also the rule of the wasteland. Only the strong can enjoy the resources. As long as we are strong enough and plunder a new shelter, no one will say anything, right?"
Wayne gasped, then his eyes widened.
Yes, why must they bother with Vault 72? As long as they are strong enough, they can plunder a new refuge and even obtain more resources and more fresh and beautiful women.
Thinking of this, Wayne suddenly became excited.
"Yes! Why didn't I think of that?"
Wayne clapped his hands and laughed, saying, "We still have eight hundred scavengers on hand, plus Enzo, who is a scavenger hunter, as well as the power arm armor and double-barreled shotgun, we can completely plunder other shelters and continue to work." Boss."
In the doomsday wasteland, there is no concept of gangsters.
Everyone believes in the rule that the strong are respected, and strength represents the truth. Only the strong can become the master of the shelter. Just like when Mad Dog Johnny betrayed his boss, no one felt wrong.
“The purified water can last another two months.”
Enzo thought for a moment and decided, "Use this time to make our strength as strong as possible. After that, we will conserve water for ten days and prepare to select a shelter as an attack target."
"In this case, it is also a solution."
Uriah's eyes flashed, and she agreed with Enzo's decision. If the water purification device in underground shelter 72 was damaged and irreparable, the water source in the shelter could be maintained for up to two months.
Before this deadline, a new shelter must be found.
"That's right, Wayne."
Suddenly, Enzo looked at Wayne and said, "How is the progress of the things I asked you to do now?"
Wayne scratched his head and said sheepishly, "Well, it hasn't started yet."
Enzo frowned slightly, feeling a little helpless. He had just become the boss of the shelter. Except for Uriah, almost everyone in Wayne's group was addicted and enjoyed themselves. Wayne, who was originally a strong character, had not exercised for a long time and was with women every day. Hide in the bar and hang out.
"What happened?" Uriah asked doubtfully.
"Enzo asked me to select thirty people who are less susceptible to radiation infection from the scavengers in the shelter to form a special training team."
Wayne explained, then became disapproving and said, "But, Enzo, is the thing you gave me useful? Aren't things like ancient martial arts long ago eliminated by the times?"
As he spoke, Wayne took out a white paper from his arms.
Uriah grabbed it and recognized the words on it, Knight's Breathing Technique. She couldn't help but frown and looked at Enzo in surprise.
"What is this?" Uriah raised the white paper.
"A way to exercise." Enzo said softly.
Uriah shook his head and said, "It's useless, Enzo. History has proven countless times that humans cannot obtain strong power through physical training. They can only rely on radiation infection or mechas to fight mutant beasts."
In the history of Planet Aquamarine civilization, there were things like ancient martial arts.
However, those training methods can only strengthen the body at most, allowing practitioners to have the ability to deal with three or five enemies of the same size. If you want to use ancient martial arts to deal with mutated beasts, it is tantamount to wishful thinking.
"Do as I say."
Enzo shook his head and didn't explain much. The Knight Breathing Method is different from Aquamarine Star's own cultivation method. It is based on special breathing and exercise methods, which changes the internal organs of the human body and condenses the fighting spirit.
The main reason why the breathing method was given to Wayne was for testing.
If Enzo wants to conquer the sea blue plane, he first needs an army. In the absence of witchcraft, the knight's breathing method is obviously the best choice. Although the progress may be slower, Enzo has plenty of time.
"Okay, it's up to you." Wayne shrugged.
Afterwards, the three of them separated, Uriah was responsible for maintaining order in the shelter, Wayne began to select people from the scavengers to practice breathing techniques, and Enzo himself planned to go to the garbage dump.
Underground Vault 72 can last another two months.
If you want to take advantage of this period to form a force that can plunder other refuges, the easiest way is to create a large number of mechanical equipment. The power of the firearms can allow ordinary people to kill the hunters.
Half an hour later, Enzo came to the surface.
In the wasteland continent under the apocalypse, the sky is always gray. The blue sky and white clouds that once made people yearn for have long disappeared. Even if there is a cloud floating in the sky, they are all yellow clouds condensed by acid rain.
Ho ho ho...
As soon as he walked out of the underground shelter, the sound of zombies could be heard in his ears. Enzo pulled out a folding steel knife with his backhand and chopped off the zombie's head with one blow.
Immediately afterwards, Enzo heads to the junkyard.
As a resource point that supports the survival of dozens of surrounding shelters, airships dropping garbage will only appear in the garbage dump every few days. When Enzo came here, the available resources in the surrounding areas had already been swept away.
All he could see was a group of zombies.
This garbage dump covers an extremely large area, and no one has even entered the deepest area. According to the old man in underground shelter 72, there are a lot of mechanical waste and even broken mechas piled deep in the garbage dump.
Every young man with a dream longs to go to the depths of the garbage dump, pick up a mecha, and drive it to the floating city to live a life like a human being.
However, no one can actually do it.
Although there is a lot of mechanical waste accumulated in the deepest part of the garbage dump, it is precisely because of the excessive mechanical waste that the place is filled with a large amount of radiation. Once someone steps into it, they will vomit blood and die from radiation infection in a few minutes.
Only those strong men who control mechas can resist the invasion of radiation.
Enzo looked calm and walked towards the depths of the garbage dump.
Although he was not protected by a mecha, the fighting spirit he released was enough to withstand the radiation. However, doing so was extremely taxing on the body. Enzo would have to leave after being exposed to radiation for a few hours at most.
Still, that's long enough to do a lot.
Trampling on the narrow road full of garbage, Enzo gradually walked towards the depths of the garbage dump, and the sound of broken things continued to sound around him.
"Alert, unknown creature is approaching, threat to subject: low."
In his mind, there was an alarm from the chip, and out of the soil not far away, a rat-like flesh and blood monster emerged. It had no fur, looked bloody, and looked extremely disgusting and ferocious.
Bah! !
The flesh-and-blood monster dragged its long tail and spat out a mouthful of acid. Enzo dodged sideways, and then threw the folding steel knife in his hand, nailing the monster to the ground.
"Mutant rat?"
Enzo pulled out the folding steel knife, shook his head and said, "Excessive radiation pollution caused the mutated mice to mutate twice."
Enzo then moved on.
The closer to the depths of the garbage dump, the more dangerous it becomes. Enzo has killed more than a dozen mutated zombies and mutant beasts on the way, and finally approaches the deepest part of the garbage dump.
"Alert! There is high-intensity radiation energy around, please stay away as soon as possible."
The chip in his mind sounded a rapid alarm, and Enzo frowned slightly. The surrounding radiation caused the earth to be polluted, and various twisted plants grew out and bit each other, forming a terrifying scene.
Enzo took a deep breath and released his fighting spirit to protect his body.
Under the corrosion of radiation, his skin stung slightly. Only by relying on fighting spirit could he resist this invasion.
"No wonder a wizard can become the master of all realms."
Enzo sighed in his heart. There are millions of worlds in the multiverse, and there are all kinds of weird worlds. Some of these worlds are simply not suitable for ordinary creatures to survive. Even a knight with extraordinary power can only step into them. A dead end.
However, wizards are highly adaptable.
They master the wizard's mask, which can resist all erosion. At the same time, maintaining the wizard's mask requires only a small amount of magic power, and they can live in a world for a long time.
Enzo's body at this time cannot cultivate magic power, so he can only rely on fighting spirit to protect his body.
Then, Enzo continued to move forward, walking on his legs, and it took half an hour before he finally reached the core area of the garbage dump.
"This is……"
However, as soon as he reached the core area of the garbage dump, Enzo's pupils shrank, and he felt a little stir in his heart when he looked at the scene in front of him.
Ahead is an extremely huge pit.
Countless mechanical scraps can be seen almost everywhere. However, what is really shocking is the abandoned small city under the deep pit.
Floating city!
The floating city, which I have only seen in pictures, lies quietly in a deep pit. Its main body is completely made of steel, like a giant mothership. Its appearance has been corroded by radiation and is somewhat tattered, but its former glory can still be vaguely recognized. .
The floating city that houses the fire of human civilization!
"Why do you appear here?"
Enzo murmured to himself, the luster in his eyes flashing. After a brief moment of surprise, he quickly returned to normal. Perhaps for ordinary wastelanders, seeing a floating city falling to the earth might be a surprise. Subverting the three outlooks, even the spirit completely collapsed.
But Enzo was different. As a third-level wizard, he had even conquered a world on his own. His god-like mentality made him unfazed by anything. He was just a little curious as to why a floating city appeared in a garbage dump. in the deep pit.
"No matter, let's go in and take a look first."
Enzo shook his head, and then walked down the pit. The pit was several hundred meters long, and it was a bit of a challenge for the knight. It took Enzo ten minutes to slowly reach the bottom of the pit. .
The abandoned floating city that fell from the sky to the earth is right in front of you!
