Chapter 364 Entering the Dungeon
After entering the entrance of the dungeon, there is a U-shaped corridor that can be walked on either side. Going around to the back of the corridor, there is an invisible door hidden in the wall.
The invisible door was made with great precision and was exactly the same as the wall before it was opened. Without a staff member to lead the way, even if you walked around the zigzag corridor dozens of times, you might not be able to find the entrance to the dungeon.
Open the invisible door and you will find an elevator. This elevator can only go to the next floor, which also has a U-shaped corridor.
The elevator door leads to the north. After they get out of the elevator, the staff takes them to the south, where they feel around on the wall to find the mechanism button and open the door hidden in the wall.
Entering this door is where Xia Xiaoman and the others are temporarily living.
"Go to your respective locations according to the number plates in your hands. If you have any problems, you can ask the patrolling security guards for help." After the staff member said this, he turned around and prepared to go back and bring the next group of people down.
Xia Xiaoman and the others responded and looked around with their number plates to find their seats.
The underground city was much simpler than Xia Xiaoman had imagined. Although it was large, there was nothing inside except for the pillars and walls that supported the weight. The location the staff mentioned was actually an empty space marked with white lines, and each empty space had a corresponding number.
The survivors who entered the underground city earlier yesterday stayed in the positions assigned by the staff. Those who had abundant supplies would set up sheds and tents in their own positions. Those who were relatively short of supplies would just sit on the ground.
The ground here is made of cement and is very flat. There is no ventilation here, so the cold wind outside cannot blow in. The temperature is more than twice as high as that outside, so you won't feel that cold even if you sit on the ground.
But precisely because there was no ventilation, Xia Xiaoman felt that this place was stuffy and smelly.
"Xiaoman, stop daydreaming and come with me. We are in Area C." Li Yu'e waved to Xia Xiaoman and led the way to Area C.
Xia Xiaoman followed him, and along the way, many people stared at the hairy eggs with greedy eyes. But perhaps because there were so many of them, those who coveted the hairy eggs did not dare to act rashly.
After walking to Area C and finding her own seat, Xia Xiaoman put away the luggage she had brought, untied the sled from Maodan, and took up his paw to take a look. Seeing that his paw was not frostbitten, she took a frozen steel-toothed rabbit and gave it to Maodan, letting him rest nearby.
Xia Xiaoman was sitting next to a load-bearing column, with a member of the Lingxu Gang behind him, Li Yu'e on his left, and an unknown stranger in front of him.
The stranger recognized Maodan as a wolf at a glance. He seemed very interested in Maodan and took some dried sweet potatoes to tease Maodan.
Maodan glared at him with disdain, changed the direction of the Steel-Tooth Rabbit in his mouth, turned his butt towards the stranger, and gnawed on the rabbit meat with a crunching sound.
Seeing that the stranger had no ill intentions, Xia Xiaoman didn't bother to pay attention to him. She took out a few sticks from her luggage and built a shed.
The staff allocated a space of 3 meters by 3 meters for each of them, which was the space for two single beds. Apart from the space for storing supplies and sleeping, there was very little space left, but this was the maximum space that could be allocated.
Xia Xiaoman built a shed on half of the space and used the rest to store luggage. If she wanted to cook, she would hide in the shed. If she cooked outside, she was afraid that if the food was too rich, it would make people jealous.
After setting up the shed, Xia Xiaoman was too tired to move. He found two sweet potatoes, cleaned them, and ate them raw.
Li Yu'e, who was standing next to her, saw her eating raw sweet potatoes and said, "Xiao Man, don't eat sweet potatoes. I made vermicelli soup. Come and have a hot drink!"
Xia Xiaoman didn't hesitate, took a set of bowls and chopsticks and walked over, "I'm so tired, I haven't been this tired for a long time."
Li Yu'e smiled and said, "Who asked you to build such a big shed? Just build one that can block other people's view. We will only live here for half a month at most."
As she spoke, she looked up and looked around. "Xiao Man, don't you think this underground city is too simple? It's empty and has nothing in it. And it's also very small. It only has one floor, so it can only accommodate 20,000 to 30,000 people at most."
The stranger who had teased Maodan before heard what Li Yu'e said and said, "Beauty, you don't know this. The place we live in is just one of the rooms in the dungeon. The real dungeon is much bigger than you think."
When Li Yu'e heard this, she smiled and asked, "What's your name, big brother?"
"Lv Qingshan, if you don't mind, you can call me Brother Shan."
"Hello, Brother Shan. My name is Li Yu'e. You can just call me by my name. This is Xia Xiaoman." After introducing, Li Yu'e asked, "Brother Shan, from what you just said, do you know how big this underground city is?"
Lu Qingshan smiled and nodded, "I only know a rough idea, not the exact size. We haven't actually entered the underground city yet. If we want to enter the underground city, we need to go through five doors."
"This first gate is a huge rock blocking the entrance. When the staff presses a button on the rock, a password and fingerprint lock will pop up. After entering a special password and pressing the fingerprint, the rock will move away."
"The second door is the door leading to the elevator. The third door is any of the four rooms on the 0th floor. The room we are in is called '0th Floor South'. The other three rooms are '0th Floor North', '0th Floor East' and '0th Floor West'."
"There is a fourth door leading to the interior of the dungeon in each of the four rooms on the 0th floor, east, west, south, and north. Enter the fourth door and you will find the elevator inside the dungeon."
"There are 10 floor buttons in the elevator. Apart from the first and second floors and the -1 to -7 floors, there is another floor between the first floor and the -1 floor. The floor button is marked as '0', which is the floor we are on now."
"If you want to enter other floors, for example, if you want to go to -1 floor, take the internal elevator to -1 floor. There is a solid heavy steel door in front of you. You need to open this door to truly enter the dungeon. The same goes for other floors."
Li Yu'e looked puzzled. "The dungeon is small to begin with. Why did they go to so much trouble to set up levels? Aren't they afraid of wasting space?"
Lu Qingshan said: "This is also to protect the underground city from being invaded."
"Invasion? Who would invade the dungeon at this time?"
"Of course it's those unknown animals and plants." Lu Qingshan said: "Are there not enough unknown animals and plants that have appeared in Xia Country in the past two years? If the ozone layer... cough cough..."
"If the environment on Blue Planet continues to deteriorate and the glaciers melt completely, who can guarantee that those unknown animals and plants will not invade the underground city?"
"Even if there are no unknown animals and plants invading, the sea level will rise after the glaciers melt, and the sea water will flow into our floating city sooner or later. If the entrance to the underground city is not built well, what should we do if it flows back into the underground city?"
Lu Qingshan looked at Li Yu'e and said, "So don't think that setting up the entrance to the dungeon is troublesome. The more troublesome it is to enter the dungeon, the safer we will be."
