Chapter 106 Laboratory
These two armored vehicles were obtained by the mutants from the warehouse of the security personnel on the upper floor of the laboratory. They are not tank-shaped armored vehicles with combat and protection capabilities, but more like small armored personnel carriers. The
front of the vehicle is in the shape of a truck, the body is long, the windows are narrow and not easy to break, and it has six wheels. In addition to the two doors in the driving area, there are other doors on the right side of the body and the rear of the vehicle, but in order to prevent acid rain, the door at the rear of the vehicle has been closed, and the skylight on the roof is double-layered and has been treated with acid-proof coating.
Inside the armored vehicle, the driving area and the compartment area are connected, and it can carry up to twelve people.
This type of car, except for being more fuel-efficient, has no disadvantages, because the cabin is large enough that you can even lay on the floor or set up a cot to sleep at night.
Youxi only lamented that the space in his own transportation vehicle was full. The RV was practical, and the three-story yacht was even more practical and spacious. In comparison, although the armored vehicle had a higher safety factor, its functions overlapped with those of the RV, and it was not as practical as the RV with its complete water, electricity, kitchen, bathroom and bathing facilities, so he could only sigh. The
wheels of the armored vehicle were also treated with a special acid-proof coating, but the number of spare tires was insufficient, and they did not know how to apply the coating. If they were all used up, it would be difficult for ordinary wheels to resist acid soil corrosion.
So on the way from the official shelter in Fancheng to the suburban laboratory, both cars drove slowly and carefully along the way. The villa area could no longer be lived in. They had no way out now. Before the laboratory was cleaned up and ready for moving in, the armored vehicle was their only shelter.
The dozen or so people who followed Youxi and Lin Wu to the laboratory were extremely cautious. They divided the work along the way. Some people kept a close eye on the road conditions, some took turns driving, some began to plan what to do first after arriving at the institute, and some began to organize the repair tools in their backpacks in the hope of being able to help...
In comparison, the atmosphere in the other armored vehicle following behind was much more relaxed.
Youxi took out an iced fruit bowl that had been prepared in the villa. There was a thin layer of crushed ice at the bottom of the ice bowl, and a lot of watermelon, pineapple, and cantaloupe were cut on it, and finally condensed milk was poured on it.
She put a lot of small plastic forks on it, and placed the entire ice bowl between two places in the driving area, so that Lin Wu could eat at any time while driving.
She even turned on the mobile phone on her wrist and randomly played a playlist in it.
The world is different, and the singers and styles in the world are also different. The music in this world is heavier, and it feels quite unique.
After Lin Wu ate a few pieces of icy and sweet fruit, he almost forgot that he was in the mission world, not to mention that this was a post-apocalyptic world with SS difficulty. No matter what happened before or after, at this moment, they were leisurely as if they were on a spring outing.

That evening, two armored vehicles arrived smoothly outside the exhibition hall of the pharmaceutical factory in the suburbs, and the entrance to the laboratory was just below it.
After nearly two months of acid rain, most of the exhibition hall's buildings have been corroded, but half of the exhibition hall is made of glass. Except for some parts that have fallen and shattered, the rest is still standing.
The car went down from the entrance of the parking lot next to the exhibition hall, and the wheels rolled over a pile of sticky garbage. It drove to a wall in the parking lot. There was a hidden secret door. After opening it, it was the original location of the security personnel.
Inside was a large space similar to a maintenance garage and warehouse. According to the mutant's previous explanation, this was where they found the thermal weapons and armored vehicles when they left. It was also the only place in the entire underground space without corpses.
It's just that the secret door in this area was left open after the mutant drove away, so the air in this area was also polluted.
After Lin Wu and his team came to get medicine last time, they closed this secret door, but they couldn't clean up the polluted air for the time being.
From this space, it is the activity area of the security personnel, where there is an elevator leading directly to the underground laboratory.
They closed the door leading to the parking lot outside, parked the armored vehicle, and everyone put on all protective equipment in the car, and then got out of the car to work.
After opening the doors of the closed garage and activity area, several bodies were seen lying nearby. They inhaled highly corrosive acid mist without protective gear and were eventually killed by the experimenters.
The bodies had been placed in a high temperature and acidic environment for nearly a month, and their current state can be imagined.
Lin Wu did not let You Xi get involved in the cleaning "work" and took a few people to clean up the mess. You Xi knew that Lin Wu was taking care of him, so he accepted his kindness and took two people down the safety stairs to check the situation in the laboratory first.
The people who came with Lin Wu and You Xi this time were quiet but efficient. Their plan today was to check whether the power and air filtration systems were still working, to check the damaged sealed doors of the laboratory, and finally to clear the security area.
The laboratory below was even more terrifying. In addition to the bodies of scientific researchers and security personnel, there were also many bodies of experimenters. Both men and women had their heads shaved. Most of them had been through many experiments and drug injections, and their bodies were not in good condition...
They were busy until late at night, and then closed the doors of the maintenance garage and activity area.
This closed garage has an independent water purification system, which was originally used for car washing. After the acid rain began, an alkali dispenser was installed in the water purification system, which would automatically add a large amount of alkali to the water at regular intervals.
Such water is perfect for disinfecting protective clothing and masks. A group of people cleaned themselves one by one, then returned to the armored vehicle wearing protective clothing, started the car and turned on the air filtration system inside to filter all the air in the car, then took off the mask, ate a simple meal, put on the mask again, turned off the car, and lay down to rest.
The reason for doing this is not only to save gasoline, but also because in a closed space, the car cannot emit too much exhaust gas.
There was no toilet in the armored vehicle, so they had to endure it temporarily that night. If they couldn't bear it any longer, they started the car to filter the air inside the car, and then used bags and buckets to solve the problem.
Lin Wu knew that You Xi was fully equipped and could be more comfortable in the car alone, so he went to another car and squeezed in with the others for the night.
It was precisely because this night was not easy that everyone woke up one after another before dawn the next day. Each of them said that at least the activity space for the security personnel had to be cleaned up today, and the electricity had to be restored, otherwise the air filtration system would not work and they would have to squeeze back into the armored vehicle for another night.
For a more comfortable living environment, everyone was full of energy.
In this way, they cleaned and maintained one space after another as if they were expanding their territory. Two days later, they officially began to repair the underground laboratory.
Ten days later, the sealed door of the laboratory was repaired, 70% of the area was cleaned, and the water and electricity were functioning normally.
At first, they relied on Youxi and Lin Wu's fast food and convenient military rations to survive. Later, Lin Wu learned from the data in the laboratory computer that there was a hidden space at the bottom of the two-story laboratory. That was the core part of the laboratory. There was a warehouse inside, and there should be a large number of supplies.
They put on their protective gear again, opened the sealed door hidden downwards, and went to look for supplies in the warehouse.
The space on the bottom floor is not big, only about a quarter of the size of the space above. After going out from the stairs, there is an L-shaped corridor. There seems to be an independent power system here. When people step into the corridor, the sensor lights turn on one after another.
They first checked the entire terrain. At the end of the L-shaped corridor, there is a laboratory blocked by a sealed door. The sealed door has several layers in front and back, all made of special materials, and ordinary people can't open it at all.
Youxi has [High Temperature Perfume], maybe they can try it, but she and Lin Wu don't know what's inside this door. Intuition tells them that this is the most core and confidential place in the entire laboratory, and it's hard to say what's inside.
Adhering to the principle of completing the three-month mission, they decided to give up opening the sealed doors.
The warehouse is located in the front corridor. Everyone was very cautious at first, but the process was unexpectedly smooth. They opened the warehouse and found boxes of sealed supplies. The quantity of this batch of water supplies was beyond their imagination. Everyone was very happy because they would not have to worry about food for a long time.
There are even clean clothes and daily necessities here. The outside of the boxes have all been acid-proofed to ensure long-term storage.
Youxi was also very happy. With this batch of supplies, after they leave in more than half a month, "Youxi" and "Linwu" will continue to lead others here and slowly develop this place.

A week later, the official shelters sent news that there had been a breakthrough in the research of antacids, but the side effects were still very severe and they could not be used on the human body at present.
"We need to conduct research in a more complete place. I heard that you are in the laboratory. I hope you can cooperate and accept a group of scientific researchers from here to conduct research. This is for the future of all mankind. I hope you understand."
This is a unified polite statement from several official shelters, but Youxi and Lin Wu both understand that this "hope for cooperation" does not have much room for maneuver. Even if they disagree, the other party will find another way to enter the laboratory.
Youxi and Lin Wu still have more than ten days left. The conditions for refuge in the laboratory are good, and sooner or later they will start to accept other refugees, so after discussing it, the two people agreed directly. At this time, neither of them thought that
this small decision would lead to major changes later.
