After a while, Xu Feng's weak state disappeared, and strength returned to his body. Only then did he feel better. The previous state of feeling tired after taking a step was really a bad experience. It reminded him of the embarrassing years in his previous life when he had not yet become an apostle of the secret realm.
"Let's check around first to see if there is anything useful!" Xu Feng said after taking a deep breath.
"Hey, when is it your turn to give orders?" Shui Sheng said dissatisfiedly: "If I hadn't saved you just now, you would be dead now, and this is the promotion secret realm. If you die here, you might really die!"
"Don't you want to repay me for saving your life? Why are you still speaking to me in such a commanding tone?" Shui Sheng widened her eyes and said with an unconvinced look on her face: "From now on, I am the captain, and all your actions must be subject to my will!"
After a moment of silence, Xu Feng shrugged and said, "Okay, Captain, what do we need to do now?"
Shui Sheng and Xu Feng started to stare at each other. After a while, Shui Sheng pretended to cough twice, touched her chin, and pretended to think. After thinking for a long time, she finally said, "I think our first step should be to explore the surroundings to see if there is anything we can use!"
Xu Feng: “…”
The two began to search the room, and soon Shui Sheng found two tubes of nutrient solution, which is a kind of food similar to compressed dry food. One tube can support an adult's food consumption for a day, and can also provide a small amount of water. It is similar to liquid bread and is a very good food.
Xu Feng made a brief search but found nothing, so he walked to the operating table in front of the screen and began to check it carefully. After a while, Xu Feng seemed to have discovered something and began to fiddle with it.
Soon, the image on the cracked screen began to shake violently, and the previous mission content disappeared, replaced by a bald man in uniform.
The man looked to be in his forties, with a weathered face. He was mumbling something to himself in a strange accent. Xu Feng and Shui Sheng had never heard of this language before, but when the man on the screen began to speak, just like the previous cuneiform texts, the content was automatically translated in their minds.
It turned out that this was a survival base for humans, and its purpose was to quickly cultivate artificial humans. After all, in the doomsday world, there were crises everywhere, and the survival rate of infants was less than one in ten thousand. Humans could no longer reproduce through natural childbirth and natural raising. They could only reproduce humans through in vitro fertilization, genetic debugging, and rapid growth in nutrient capsules.
It would take an ordinary human being at least fifteen to eighteen years to grow into a warrior who could take up arms, but using this method, it would only take three months to harvest a group of eighteen-year-old adult humans.
Moreover, this cultivation technology is already very mature. It only requires a basement to cultivate five to seven people. After they are placed, no one is needed to guard them, and the cost is extremely low.
The culture room where Xu Feng and Shui Sheng were located was similar to a basement, but the building was destroyed and collapsed, the basement was damaged, and it was attacked by unknown creatures. As a result, out of the six adults who were supposed to be cultured, only two survived.
"Here, nutrient supplements, one for each person!" Shui Sheng gave one of the nutrient supplements she had found to Xu Feng. Xu Feng took it, thanked him, and continued to search for useful content on the main computer.
Xu Feng didn't care about food and water. After the weak state disappeared, his portable secret realm could also sense it. Xu Feng had already prepared a large amount of food and water in it. Not to mention a week, even if it was enough for two people to survive for a year, there would be no problem.
Half an hour later, a spark suddenly appeared in the circuit nearby, and the light flowing on the wall dimmed instantly. The whole room was suddenly dark, with only an emergency light in the corner illuminating a small area.
"Ah!" Shui Sheng was startled by the sudden darkness. She made a sound and immediately covered her mouth. It seemed that she was not very vigilant.
The fluorescent cloak is a lower-grade spiritual equipment with magic resistance, poison resistance, and toughness attributes. It also has the aura of a spider, which can make spider monsters mistakenly think that Xu Feng is of the same kind as themselves. The effect is very good under certain circumstances.
But most of the time, the fluorescent cloak seems a bit cumbersome, and it will hinder movement, dodging and other actions. Moreover, it emits light, which is useful in the dark, but in ordinary situations, it is like a light bulb, which will attract the enemy's attention. Therefore, under normal circumstances, Xu Feng will not equip this cloak.
"This cloak is nice, why don't I usually see you wearing it?" Shui Sheng touched the fluorescent cloak gently out of curiosity. The fluorescent spider silk is finer and smoother than silk, and it feels very good to the touch.
"Haha, it's too easy to get damaged, I can't bear to wear it!" Xu Feng laughed and said, "Let's find an exit as soon as possible and leave here."
It can be seen from the life-support capsule with a big hole in the hatch that this place is probably not safe. Moreover, the entire building has been damaged, and it is not easy to get out of this basement.
Fortunately, with the help of the fluorescent cloaks, the two quickly found the exit. The door to the basement had been smashed open by the collapsed rubble, but there were also a lot of reinforced concrete fragments piled up at the door. If they wanted to leave here, they would need a lot of physical strength and it would easily cause a secondary collapse.
Xu Feng walked around the basement and came to a ventilation duct exit. He pulled Shui Sheng over and pointed at the dark ventilation duct and said, "Let's get out from here!"
"Can we get out from here?" Shui Sheng looked at the dark vent and said with some fear, "It won't be blocked, right? Otherwise, let's go out from the door. It's just a pile of rubble and dirt. It won't take long to move it..."
"It's been more than 20 minutes since we came out of the life support cabin. Do you feel suffocated after such a long time?" Xu Feng suddenly asked.
"Suffocating?" Shui Sheng was stunned, then shook her head and said, "It seems not..."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"This means that the ventilation duct is still working properly. We should be able to climb out from here..." Xu Feng pointed to the exit of the basement that was blocked by rocks and said, "From the rubble piled up at the door, the building we are in is at least 18 stories high. For such a high-rise building, the basement is more than 10 meters deep. Even if we are lucky and are not at the bottom, it is at least 3 to 5 meters deep. With our strength, it is not difficult to dig a passage, but it is almost impossible to dig an escape passage without making any noise. You don't want us to go through so much trouble to dig a passage, only to face a group of mutant monsters attracted by the noise, right?"
"Okay, as the captain, I have decided to escape from this ventilation duct!" Shui Sheng pointed at the exhaust port of the ventilation duct with a firm face and said, "Xu Feng, as the captain, I order you to explore the way first, and I will follow you!"
"Haha, yes sir!" Looking at Shui Sheng's childish little face, Xu Feng smiled and nodded in agreement.
Just as the two were about to climb up the vent, a strange "squeaking" sound suddenly came from the dark cave. After a while, a pair of dark green eyes appeared at the entrance, staring at the two.

I owe you five chapters, and they haven't come back yet, what should I do? I'm so worried!
