Wasteland Hideout Upgrading From The Sewers Chapter 85

[ … words ]

When Yu Yuan finished organizing all the supplies in the shelter inside the warehouse, an hour had already passed.

The left side of the Level 2 warehouse had an entire row of firearms and ammunition, the shelves directly opposite contained all the food and medical supplies, while the shelves on the right were completely filled with various collected materials.

Leaving the warehouse, he came to the magazine display stand.

Today’s newspaper had already refreshed, but there was only one sheet. However, a thin book had appeared next to the newspaper.

Yu Yuan revealed a smile.

After the upgrade, the probability of additional items appearing is really high!

Picking up the book to look, it still required 1000 survival points to view, so he immediately purchased it.

【Low-Altitude Parachuting Operation Guide】

Quality: Bronze

Reading this book allows one to acquire knowledge of low-altitude parachuting operations, with a small probability of comprehending the skill—【Basic Low-Altitude Parachuting】(Ordinary), and an extremely small probability of comprehending the skill—【Low-Altitude Parachuting Stunts】(Excellent).

“Good book!”

Yu Yuan’s eyes sparkled. If he could comprehend the skills from it, they might produce miraculous effects at certain critical moments.

Putting the book away, he looked at that newspaper.

There were still four pieces of news, aside from one that still recorded the date, weather, and publisher name in the masthead.

The remaining three pieces of information were quite interesting.

【District News Section】

Quality: Pebble-tier

Danger Level: Medium

According to our newspaper’s information: At 10:30 AM yesterday, Thug Prison finally received a clear statement from Burning Fortress agreeing to cooperate. However, the other party demanded priority elimination of Black Shield Police Department, and they have first search rights for spoils.

Regarding this, Deputy Warden Baku stated that he had anticipated it, because through investigations over the past two days, it had been discovered that the team of Flame Knights remaining in the eastern city seemed to be searching for something.

That item was suspected to have been taken by Black Shield Police Department. He was very interested in whatever Burning Fortress was searching for.

He had previously obtained confirmed information that Loris, one of the three commanders of Black Shield Police Department, recently left the First District alone every late night, going from Film Avenue to somewhere in District 6.

Therefore, he decided to plan an attack targeting Loris tomorrow late at night, first cutting off this arm of Black Shield Police Department.

But considering this information might be bait thrown out by Black Shield Police Department, Baku decided to bring Burning Fortress along for the operation.

Danger Level: Low

Yesterday, the Dale Shelter located between Songshan Station and Lüsong Station subway tunnels was occupied by a group of scavengers. They temporarily used it as a gathering point and will rest there for the next few days.

The shelter owner Dale was also captured by the scavengers, who forced him to join their organization.

Although very reluctant to part with his research results and materials,

Dale knew that joining the scavengers would inevitably plunge him into an inescapable abyss. He planned to find an opportunity to escape after the scavengers fell asleep.

Danger Level: Low

Carmen has been searching for traces of that sewer rat these past two days. He could clearly sense that the threat from Loris towards him was growing increasingly stronger, and his inner fear of Loris was also increasing daily.

But it seemed because he was summoned by Chief Hogg last time, Loris still didn’t dare to target him openly.

However, the taste of day and night fear made Carmen extremely uncomfortable. He understood that only by eliminating the source of his fear could he rest easy.

He finally discovered that the place Lorvis visits every night is Clear Spring Hot Spring Hotel.

He doesn’t trust people from Black Shield Police Department, but he urgently needs help. The only person he can think of is that man.

“Since I can’t find him, I can only use other methods! The information that Loris passes through Film Avenue in District 6 alone every night should have already reached Thug Prison through Hyena’s channels! I hope they act quickly!”

————————————

Looking at the information in the newspaper, Yu Yuan’s eyes slightly brightened.

“Carmen is quite something!”

He didn’t expect that Thought Tide Card to take effect so quickly, and Carmen was quite bold!

Actually having channels to leak information to Thug Prison people.

If the matter gets exposed, the consequences….

But… he doesn’t seem like a reckless person, he probably has his own backup plans.

“In other words, tomorrow night Thug Prison people will most likely attack Loris on Film Avenue in the Sixth District.”

Yu Yuan opened the virtual map and found the Sixth District.

The screen zoomed in as he marked it, and Film Avenue from the First District to the Sixth District appeared as a red line.

After thinking for a moment, Yu Yuan looked at another piece of news.

This scavenger organization should be the same organization those scavengers belonged to before—Iron Blood Gang, and their stopping location matched what he learned from questioning the scavengers.

“What a coincidence indeed! Since that’s the case, eliminate them root and branch…”

3 PM in the afternoon.

Yu Yuan woke up from bed.

This time there was no alarm reminder, he woke up on his own.

Tap tap tap tap….

The sound of Mie Mie running could still be heard from the treadmill generator room inside the room.

“Mie Mie, rest! Eat something!”

After shouting towards the generator room, Mie Mie quickly walked out, going to its own feeding area on its own and starting to munch on green grass.

Yu Yuan entered the kitchen, brewing himself a cup of expired coffee and mixing it with High-Energy Sheep Milk to drink.

Opening the Virtual Light Screen, 【Defense—Flamethrower】 showed that construction was completed.

【Defense—Flamethrower】

Quality: Rare

Effective Range: 20 meters

Combustion Temperature: 1100°C~1200°C

Fuel Status: 100%

Defense Level +8

Lethal Mechanisms: Suffocation, Burning, Psychological Deterrence

On the virtual map, the areas covered by the flamethrowers had been marked as danger zones.

With these ten flamethrowers, the civil defense shelter level finally had defensive power. He no longer needed to worry about someone raiding his home while he was away from the shelter.

Downing the coffee in his cup, he left the shelter and began inspecting the trap areas of each nozzle. Each gunpowder nozzle had been camouflaged.

If not examined carefully, they were impossible to find.

Only upon close observation could one see the metal nozzles hidden within the brick walls, very concealed and quite treacherous.

The triggering mechanism was the pressure plates arranged underfoot—stepping on them would activate the flamethrowers.

These trigger switches were directly connected to the 【Shelter Defense System Management Log】 in Yu Yuan’s Virtual Light Screen.

Yu Yuan could control whether the flamethrower traps were activated through the Virtual Light Screen.

No need to worry about safety when he enters the passageway.

Finally, Yu Yuan carefully inspected the flamethrower at the ladder exit location, and the results were quite satisfactory.

With the shelter’s security assured, Yu Yuan entered the shelter to eat and drink, then prepared to leave with Mie Mie.

Before dark, he needed to go eliminate the potential threat posed by that group of scavengers.

Leaving no future troubles.
