Facing the outbreak of the Corpse Poison Disease, while the development of a vaccine is undoubtedly important, the most urgent task at hand is to find a way to escape this crisis-laden Underground City.
Fortunately, Leng Fengyang now holds the latest mapping documents of this Underground City. This map serves as a beacon in the darkness, guiding them through the complex and perilous terrain of the Underground City towards their escape.
With this detailed map, Leng Fengyang has identified the safest and most efficient escape route. This path cleverly avoids potential traps, closed-off areas, and places where corpses might gather, minimizing both physical exertion and ammunition consumption.
Looking at the structure of the Underground City, it seems that there were once supply vehicles coming in before the fall. Therefore, we can use a tank to transport ourselves and the supplies from the trunk out of here.
Leng Fengyang pointed to the arterial routes on the map. Judging by the indicated road widths, although this is an Underground City, it can easily accommodate heavy eight-wheeled trucks. For a tank, these roads are more than sufficient.
Leng Fengyang's leadership spirit instantly ignited hope within the trio.
Without delay, they quickly immersed themselves in tense preparations.
Leng Fengyang personally conducted a thorough inspection of the tank, leaving no detail unchecked from fuel reserves to onboard systems, ensuring that this steel beast would be their strongest support at a critical moment without any failures.
A Yan meticulously counted the supplies in the trunk. Every morsel of food and every drop of water was an invaluable resource for their survival on this treacherous journey; it was her lifeline and their only reliance in this dire situation.
Luo Shanhe, a retired soldier and expert sniper, gently caressed his beloved sniper rifle. He knelt down, fully focused on adjusting the scope's focus and angle. Every subtle movement revealed his readiness for the impending challenges, as if he could hardly wait to showcase his skills on the battlefield and secure that crucial opportunity for escape for the trio.
"A-Feng, are you sure this route leads to the outside world?"
Despite his absolute trust in Leng Fengyang's judgment, Luo Shanhe's voice carried a hint of caution; after all, they were in an Underground City filled with unknown dangers.
"This is our most likely exit," Leng Fengyang replied firmly. "According to the map design, this arterial route was once the only connection between the Underground City and the outside world. Although it has fallen into disrepair over time, its basic structure remains intact."
With unwavering determination shining in his eyes, Leng Fengyang reassured them.
The three quickly sprang into action, packing essential supplies into the tank's trunk: food, water, medical supplies, and several tools that might come in handy.
As the engine roared to life, the tank resembled a beast poised for action as it slowly moved toward the unknown road ahead.
Inside the Underground City, light was dim; only the tank's headlights illuminated a small area ahead.
They drove cautiously, avoiding collapsed pits and scattered debris along their path. Occasionally, they glimpsed abandoned equipment and ancient murals that seemed to tell tales of past glory and decline.
However, after navigating through many twists and turns in the Underground City while evading traps and corpses, they encountered their first challenge when they reached a massive stone door.
The door stood firmly shut, covered in marks of time; it was clearly not something that could be opened easily.
"Let me give it a try."
Luo Shanhe stepped forward, filled with confidence as he challenged the stone door with his own strength. He clenched his fists tightly, muscles tensed, attempting to shake the ancient seal with sheer brute force. However, the stone door remained unmoved, as if even time could not affect it in the slightest.
After a bout of exertion, Luo Shanhe found himself panting heavily, sweat soaking his clothes. He shook his head helplessly and chuckled bitterly to himself, "That damn designer must have taken the wrong medicine."
Just as Luo Shanhe was trying to recover, a voice echoed in Leng Fengyang's ear: "System Notification Detected Abnormal Human Transformation."
"The surface of the stone door shows no visible buttons or complex mechanisms. The system has calculated that a powerful impact from a tank can directly break through the door."
Upon hearing the sudden notification from the system, Luo Shanhe's eyes widened in disbelief as he exclaimed, "Isn't that a bit too violent? It's even more ruthless than I am! If there's an abyss behind that door, won't we be done for along with the tank?"
However, before his words could settle in the air, Leng Fengyang had already pressed the accelerator without hesitation. The tank roared like a beast unleashed, accelerating instantly and charging toward the heavy stone door.
As they passed through the stone door, it felt as though they had crossed a boundary of time and space. Suddenly, a vast new scene unfolded before them.
To their astonishment, they had not arrived at the expected surface; instead of a desert, they found themselves on an expansive glacier. A biting cold wind rushed toward them, mixed with tiny ice particles that made them shiver involuntarily.
"What on earth is happening?" A Yan stared at the scene before him in shock, unable to believe his eyes.
"Is this ice and fire coexisting?" Luo Shanhe felt an inexplicable excitement surge within him. Just moments ago, they had narrowly escaped from the sweltering heat of the Underground City, and now they were stepping into a sub-zero glacier realm. This extreme temperature shift seemed like nature's most wondrous magic; perhaps only in this end could such encounters occur.
Leng Fengyang furrowed his brow, quickly analyzing their current situation. "It seems that the Underground City is more complex than we imagined; it may connect to multiple unknown spaces. However, since we are already out, we need to find a way to survive until we locate the Dark Side of the Moon."
On this freezing icy surface, for the tank to continue moving forward, it needed to be equipped with anti-slip chains.
Leng Fengyang swiftly activated the system interface with his mind, and a faint blue light screen unfolded before him.
He lightly tapped on the screen and navigated to the trading center, browsing through numerous trading items. Although most supplies did not meet his needs, when he patiently scrolled to the end of the page, a store specializing in automotive parts caught his eye and piqued his interest.
Without hesitation, he sent an inquiry message to that store: "Hello, do you have anti-slip chains available? They just need to fit domestic car models."
Shortly after sending the message, he received a prompt response in a tone reminiscent of customer service: "Dear customer, we do have a limited stock of anti-slip chains available. However, due to their scarcity, you will need to provide a considerable amount of supplies as trade."
"What are the trade conditions?"
Leng Fengyang sent another message asking for clarification. The response came back: "Fuel barrels, submachine guns, rifles, and sniper rifles are acceptable—plus two boxes of instant noodles and a box of ham sausages."
