Chapter 194 You are under a lot of pressure recently

The two of them rowed the rubber boat and quickly reached the other side. Mu Jiu put the rubber boat into his bag. Fu Hengyuan reached out and took it naturally, and put it on his back.

Then Fu Hengyuan led the way, and Mu Jiu followed behind, and the two of them walked quietly towards the circular fortress in the center of the island.

Mu Jiu was the first to investigate and found that the total number of people on this island was probably no more than 30.

In other words, excluding the people on the cargo ships that landed not long ago, there are no more than 10 permanent residents on the island.

As a transfer station for ships between the oceans, these people are enough. Similar to the highway service stations before the end of the world, they only need to provide some basic services.

The outer wall of the fortress is very high. The wall is also the building. Only the part above 6 meters has small windows that open outwards.

The windows are sealed with steel mesh, so there is basically no possibility of climbing over the wall to get in.

Mu Jiu suspected that this place was some kind of private prison before the end of the world. It looked a bit shabby, but still majestic and imposing.

Mu Jiu followed Fu Hengyuan and explored the outer wall of the fortress to the right, looking for a breakthrough.

Finally, I found the inconspicuous back door of the fortress in the overgrown bushes.

I guess the people inside would not enter or exit through this back door.

They were two thick, rusty iron doors with a strange pattern printed on them. They had probably fallen into disrepair over the years and their original appearance could no longer be seen.

This was not the time to explore these details. Fu Hengyuan was trying to figure out how to open the big iron gate. He took out two thin steel wires from somewhere and started to pry the lock.

Mu Jiu stood aside and waited quietly, his consciousness having already entered the fortress, carefully exploring what was going on.

The structure of this fortress is not complicated. It has a two-story building on the outside and a warehouse-like area on the underground floor.

There is an empty space in the middle, with a hard cement floor, but due to the ravages of the apocalypse, it has cracked into pieces, which looks a bit disgusting.

All the people inside, including those who had just landed, were now gathered near the front gate of the fortress, seemingly negotiating something, and they were not very happy.

Mu Jiu guessed that it was probably because of the Tamsui incident.

The fresh water supply business that had been negotiated was intercepted by them, and the fleet was blown up.

Now only these few cargo ships have escaped back empty, taking nothing with them.

But for a small island like this, even if it is located in the sea and surrounded by sea water, it still relies on external supply of fresh water to survive.

After all, converting seawater into fresh water is much more complicated and troublesome than imagined.

In the end times, all forces will have their own considerations.

For example, the indigenous refugees guarding the island at the moment, although not in number, are facing a situation where they have not brought back any useful supplies in exchange.

Obviously, they were also reluctant to use the additional fuel energy to supply these cargo ships.

Otherwise, it would be like throwing a meat bun at a dog and there would be no return.

The end of the world is difficult, and everyone’s supplies are supplies.

So at this moment, both sides were arguing endlessly, and they were all speaking E language. Mu Jiu could only listen to the general idea with her plastic level of Level 4 university education and join in the fun.

Just as he was listening attentively, a big warm hand touched his forehead, and Mu Jiu was frightened.

Immediately take a defensive stance...

"You don't have a fever. What's wrong with you? Did you fall asleep while standing? Are you sleepwalking?" Fu Hengyuan's clean voice came from the side of my ear.

Mu Jiu finally came back to his senses. He was so engrossed in the lecture that he couldn't remember the meaning of a few words...

"Ahem! Um~ maybe I'm a little sleepy!"

Mu Jiu laughed and asked for no reason: "Um~what does antibiotics mean?"

Fu Hengyuan was a little confused by this question, and several big question marks popped up in his mind, "What did you just say?"

"Ahem, nothing much. I just dreamed that I was taking an exam and I didn't answer a question..."

Mu Jiu took the opportunity to say something nonsense.

Fu Hengyuan...

"Are you asking about antibiotics? Antibiotics, have you been under a lot of stress lately? I heard from the team doctor that dreaming about exams is what happens.

But you are amazing, you can fall into a deep sleep under such circumstances!"

Fu Hengyuan said, and yawned as if he was infected, and said with emotion:

"I'm really tired from going out this time. I haven't slept much in three days."

Mu Jiu looked at Fu Hengyuan sympathetically. Well, as a person who aspires to lie down and enjoy life, she ensures 8 hours of sleep every day.

"Commander Fu, aren't you afraid of sudden death if you don't sleep for three days?

I remember that before the end of the world, people often died from working overtime and not getting enough sleep.

You are under a lot of pressure!"

She wants to live for a long time, otherwise all the supplies in the space will be wasted!

“It’s okay, I can sleep for an hour or two when I can’t hold on any longer.

Isn’t there a saying that goes, why sleep for a long time when you are alive, you will sleep forever after you die?

When I'm on a mission and my nerves are strained, I automatically sleep less."

Mu Jiu...

It turns out that bosses all like it. It feels like working for themselves and earning money, which is very motivating!

"By the way, was the lock picked open?" Mu Jiu quickly changed the topic.

Fu Hengyuan shook his head helplessly, "I was just about to ask you if you brought any other tools.

This lock is too old, the internal structure has rusted together, there is no point of support, it will fall apart if you poke it!"

"Oh, I'll take a look." Mu Jiu said, and Fu Hengyuan stepped aside to give her a seat.

Fu Hengyuan naturally didn't know the situation inside the fortress, so he could only think of unlocking the door with as little noise as possible to avoid alerting the enemy and ruining the matter.

After all, there are only two of them. Although they may not be at a disadvantage if the enemy is in the open and they are in the dark, he also does not like a passive situation. It would be best if he could sneak in quietly.

It was already completely dark at this moment. The two of them took out their night vision goggles and put them on, continuing to study the door.

Night vision goggles have become a common item for people like them since the extreme heat came and day and night were reversed.

Mu Jiu looked for a long time but couldn't figure out what it was. There was only a small gap between the bottom of the door and the ground.

Mu Jiu thought about it, reached into his pocket, took out a pair of anti-scratch and puncture work gloves from the space and put them on.

"Help me hold the door. I'll try to remove it. It doesn't look very sturdy."

Fu Hengyuan thought about it and did as he was told. This was probably the least noisy option at the moment and much gentler than kicking it open with a bang.

With a slight click, the left half of the iron door separated from the wall at the hinged part...

Just like he had pried open the steel mesh with his bare hands before, Mu Jiu removed half of the 500-pound iron door with his bare hands.

She directed her force inwards, controlling it just right, so that half of the door fell towards Fu Hengyuan to catch it.

The two of them cooperated tacitly, put the door aside, and entered the yard one after the other.

There was no one in the yard at this moment, but inside and outside seemed like two different worlds.

All the doors on the first floor of the ring fortress open to the inner courtyard, and all the equipment and objects visible here indicate that this is probably some kind of secret research institute.

Research institutes related to medicine.
