Chapter 133 Wilderness Crisis
Chapter 133 Wilderness Crisis
Su Wu had to operate the base vehicle and advance bit by bit across the wilderness.
As time goes by towards evening.
The gray clouds in the sky gradually turned as black as ink.
Driving in the wilderness becomes even more difficult.
Sitting in the cockpit, Su Wu turned on the vehicle's high-power searchlight.
The wilderness within dozens of meters ahead was illuminated as if it were daytime.
And in the face of such high brightness.
The areas outside the range of the light become increasingly dark.
Basically, you can't see anything anymore.
"Current driving speed: 15 kilometers per hour."
"The outside temperature is 72 degrees, and the radiation factor is 0.2."
Take a look at the external environment.
The temperature drops further, and the radiation levels become almost harmless.
All of this made Su Wu feel a little surprised.
"Except for the gravel desert everywhere."
"The environment here seems to be better than that in Chongzhou."
"If the temperature drops a little bit, maybe people can move directly to the ground to live."
I sighed for a while.
The on-board radar suddenly scanned out some different information.
Su Wu shifted his gaze and found that it was not far in front of the base vehicle.
There is actually a shelter.
Judging from the equipment it still has running.
The shelter was clearly not deserted.
"I don't know what the purpose of building a shelter in a place like this is."
"Could it be that they predicted in advance that the temperature here would be lower than that in Chongzhou City?"
Su Wu couldn't help but want to complain.
This place is not like the mountains, where there are ready-made caves for transformation, and it is also extremely far away from cities and populated areas.
The surrounding area is a wasteland with nothing but a pile of rocks.
It is several times more remote than his Huangshi Village.
Build shelters in places like this.
The main theme is a place with scarce resources and far away from the world.
Even if something happened, no one would know about it for centuries.
As soon as his thoughts turned to this, Su Wu was watching the data transmitted back by the radar.
His expression suddenly changed slightly.
He stopped the base vehicle suddenly and sat up straight.
Part of the image outline scanned by the radar is magnified on the screen.
In that silhouette.
There was a vaguely visible black shadow that looked like a bloated tumor, emitting an astonishing amount of heat.
It seems to have life, expanding and contracting in a regular pattern.
And its location.
It was right inside the shelter that was scanned.
"What it is?"
There was silence for a while.
Out of caution.
Su Wu maneuvered the base vehicle slowly backwards.
It didn't stop again until it had retreated to a position 150 meters away from the shelter.
Check the information scanned by the vehicle radar again.
This time.
Su Wu discovered that there seemed to be no human beings inside the shelter.
Only the unidentified spherical object, estimated to be about 2.5 meters in diameter, showed signs of life.
In addition, the air circulation system, central air conditioning, generators and other equipment in the shelter are still operating normally.
This means that the owner of the shelter will not be gone for long.
Otherwise, the generator would have automatically shut down due to running out of fuel.
"Did we just arrive at the crime scene?"
Weighed it up.
Su Wu decided to investigate the matter thoroughly.
The federal government of this world seems to be extremely keen on blocking information.
If he doesn't take the initiative to investigate today.
After that, don't expect to get any news related to this.
Normal things would be fine, but the obviously abnormal situation before him did not allow Su Wu to retreat.
After all, this place is not too far from Jianghe City.
If you fail to take precautions in advance, you will suffer a great loss sooner or later.
Carefully activate the rocket launcher and 20mm quad-mounted turret on the base vehicle to allow it to lock onto the location of the shelter in the distance.
Then the third carriage was opened.
All the land combat clusters were mobilized to set up several positions in front of the base vehicle.
After feeling everything is stable.
Su Wu gave way to the engineering robot in the second carriage and boarded the Type 1 ore transport vehicle.
Slowly approaching the shelter.
Shelters are usually built underground, and the entrance doors are made of heavy metal.
With Su Wu's current means.
Only by using the high-frequency oscillating cutting knife on the engineering robot can it be easily broken open.
This might be a bit risky.
If you are not careful, an expensive engineering robot may break.
But it’s the lesser of two evils.
It's still better than Su Wu driving a micro mecha and breaking into the house.
Micro-Mechs are not invincible.
Not to mention the unknown creatures in the shelter opposite.
Even the federal government has many means to forcibly break through the defenses of micro-mechas.
It wouldn't go wrong to be cautious.
At the speed of a type 1 ore transport vehicle.
Soon they crossed a distance of 150 meters and arrived at the entrance of the shelter.
The engineering robot climbed out of the car.
I scanned the structure at the entrance with the detection equipment I carried with me.
Then start the oscillating cutting knife.
Insert it into the gap of the entrance door little by little.
Ten seconds later.
The lock on the metal door was broken.
The engineering robot did not go in, but instead took a few steps back and returned to the Type 1 ore transport vehicle.
Start the journey back to the base vehicle.
Its mission has now been completed.
At the same time, the engineering robot began to retreat.
A fully armed construction robot at the back.
Carrying a single-soldier land combat tracked vehicle equipped with a flamethrower.
Start walking forward.
Take over the tasks of engineering robots.
Continue to explore inside the shelter.
The heavy metal door of the shelter was slowly pushed open.
A ray of bright light poured out from deep within the corridor.
Illuminating the passage in front of the construction robot.
“Even the lights were still on.”
Su Wu took a deep breath and felt his heartbeat seemed to speed up a little.
He moved his fingers.
The construction robot is controlled at the slowest speed through the touch screen temporarily connected to the cockpit.
Walk down the passage step by step.
Behind the construction robot.
The individual land combat tracked vehicle did not follow along.
It stopped in the doorway, aiming its flamethrower down the passage.
In case of any unexpected events, we can launch an attack immediately.
More than a minute later.
The construction robot came to the end of the staircase.
Push open the unlocked inner door.
A hall with supplies placed in a somewhat messy manner appeared within the observation range of the robot camera.
Su Wu carefully examined the scene in the camera and quickly made a judgment.
"A modest private sanctuary."
“It’s not a big area.”
“It can accommodate about 2 to 5 people.”
