Chapter 541 Water Purification Device
In the blink of an eye, another half month has passed.
The situation in the underground shelter No. 72 has completely stabilized. The death of Mad Dog Johnny did not change the lives of the survivors in the shelter. Wayne and his gang became the new rulers, and all the rules were the same as before.
The only difference is that Enzo made a rule.
The scavengers who went to the garbage dump returned to the shelter with 20% less food resources, but they needed to be replaced with mechanical parts. For him, food is not important, but mechanical parts are more needed.
This day, in the underground studio.
Enzo was assembling a double-barreled shotgun with discarded mechanical parts. Using the knowledge in the chip, he quickly completed the work and a smile appeared on his face.
"With this gun, plus the source power arm armor."
"If there is an emergency in the shelter, Wayne and Yulia will be able to deal with it. My plan should also speed up the progress..."
Enzo's eyes flickered, and then shook his head.
"Unfortunately, there is too little gunpowder, and there are only twelve bullets. Double-barreled shotguns should be eliminated in a hundred years. If there are enough materials, maybe I should make a more advanced energy gun."
In the doomsday wasteland a hundred years later, mechas are the mainstream equipment.
But guns are also deadly to ordinary people. Guns filled with gunpowder bullets have long been eliminated by history. Since humans discovered the energy crystals in the bodies of mutant beasts, they have developed more advanced energy guns.
This kind of gun does not need to change the magazine and can be fired continuously for several hours.
"It seems that I still need to go to the garbage dump in person."
Enzo shook his head. Most of the scavengers in the underground shelter No. 72 were scavenging outside the garbage dump, so the mechanical parts they could find were limited. If it weren't for the assistance of the chip in Enzo's body, I'm afraid even this double-barreled shotgun could not be successfully assembled.
Dongdongdong!
At this time, there was a knock on the door from above. Enzo walked over and opened the basement door, and saw Wayne holding a pile of discarded mechanical parts.
"These are the mechanical parts that the scavengers handed in today."
Wayne looked around the studio and suddenly saw the shotgun on the workbench. His eyes lit up and he was surprised, "Gun? Oh my God! Did you make this?"
Enzo nodded and walked out of the basement with the shotgun.
"Let Uriah try it later."
Enzo threw the double-barreled shotgun to Wayne, who stroked the shotgun assembled from old materials and couldn't hide the joy on his face.
"By the way, Enzo."
After playing with the shotgun for a while, Wayne suddenly remembered something and winked and said, "Everyone has a party tonight, come and join us."
Enzo rolled his eyes and sighed helplessly in his heart.
Perhaps during the reign of Mad Dog Johnny, Wayne and his gang were suppressed for too long. After they came to power, they released their desires to their heart's content. The so-called party was nothing more than gathering all the women in the shelter together for a group sport.
Enzo shook his head and was not interested in it.
"Tsk! You're so boring."
Wayne curled his lips and couldn't help but mutter in his heart. Since becoming a scavenger, Enzo's personality seems to have changed a lot. He is not interested in men and women. He hides in the studio almost every day, accompanied by the pile of mechanical parts.
Then, the two walked out of the bar.
As soon as he stepped out of the door of the bar, Enzo saw that not far away, two scavengers were supporting their companions and walking on the road in a mess. The injured scavenger seemed to have been scratched by something on his leg, which looked bloody.
"Stop!"
Before Enzo could speak, Wayne had already spoken, frowned and called the three scavengers, and walked over quickly.
"Wayne boss." The three scavengers were humble.
"What's wrong with this guy?"
Wayne's eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Bitten by a zombie? Don't you know the rules of the shelter? Who allowed the infected to come in?"
The three scavengers were so scared that they trembled all over.
The injured scavenger trembled and said, "No, Boss Wayne, my leg was scratched accidentally, not by a zombie."
At this time, Enzo also came over.
He looked at the injured scavenger's leg with a blank expression on his face. Even without using a chip scan, it can be seen that this scar is not a scratch at all, but a scratch by a mutant beast.
"You should be aware of the risk of mutation of the infected."
Enzo looked at the injured and said in a deep voice, "Returning to the shelter like this, do you want everyone to be buried with you?"
The injured scavenger's face turned pale, and deep fear appeared in his eyes.
At the same time, after hearing Enzo's words, the other two scavengers were also startled and quickly jumped away from the injured. They didn't know the extent of their companion's injuries, whether they were scratched or scratched, and they were also deceived.
"Please save me, Boss Enzo!"
The injured scavenger seemed to collapse, kneeling on the ground, begging, "I don't want this to happen, please save me!"
Enzo was unmoved by the other party's plea.
Wayne's face was also cold. In the doomsday wasteland, kindness and goodness are rare even in the floating city, not to mention the underground shelter where life is at stake. Moreover, this guy deliberately concealed the infection and threatened the safety of everyone.
"You two, throw this guy out." Wayne said coldly.
The other two scavengers looked at each other and stepped forward to grab the infected person, preparing to obey the order and throw him out of the shelter. Wayne's behavior was already very merciful. If it were Mad Dog Johnny, facing such a deceiver, Be sure to peel off the skin to warn others.
"No! Don't! I don't want to die."
The infected man wailed and struggled. Now, once he is thrown out of the shelter, he will only die. He screamed: "I know a secret that threatens the shelter. As long as you save me, I will tell you."
Wayne sneered, a dying person would dare to say anything.
However, at this moment, Enzo suddenly raised his head and said, "Wait a minute, what did you just say?"
Wayne was stunned and looked at Enzo next to him.
According to the feedback from the chip, the infected person does not seem to be lying. He really knows something that may threaten the safety of the shelter.
The two scavengers saw this and put down the infected person.
"Boss Enzo, you must promise not to throw me out of the shelter, otherwise I will not tell you what happened anyway." The infected person gritted his teeth.
"Yes, I promise you." Enzo said quietly.
It is not difficult for Enzo to let the infected person stay in the shelter. The worst is to lock him up and wait until he mutates before killing him. It is just spending more energy and will not affect anything.
"...It's a mutated zombie!"
The infected person hesitated, then gritted his teeth and said, "A mutated zombie has appeared in the shelter's water purification system area and is wandering nearby. If it is not dealt with as soon as possible, he will definitely destroy the shelter's water purification device."
"What? You're lying!" Wayne's face changed and he said coldly, "The water purification device of Underground Vault 72 is located in a pipe deep underground. There are three iron doors at the entrance. Mutated zombies cannot break in. "
"Hmph! How dare you lie to me and break his legs!"
"No! What I said is true." The infected person screamed quickly and said, "Although the mutated zombie did not enter the clean water area, it was lingering nearby, and its strength was very strong, enough to destroy the iron gate. "
"He didn't lie." At this time, Enzo said.
The water purification system is the core and top priority of the entire shelter. Vault 55, which is adjacent to underground Vault 72, was originally abandoned because the water purification device was destroyed.
If zombies appear near the water purification device, it is indeed a major threat to the shelter.
However, Enzo was a little confused. The clean water area was located deep underground, surrounded by mud, and the entrance was only connected to a pipe connected to the shelter. How could the mutated zombies get close to it.
"The scratches on my body were caused by the mutated zombie."
The infected person swallowed his saliva, took a deep breath, and said, "The mutated zombie should have the ability to dig into the ground. It is like swimming in the mud. It destroyed the pipe connecting the shelter to the water purification device. At the iron gate Wandering outside.”
While several people were talking, a figure came from a distance.
Uriah, whom he hadn't seen for several days, came over in a hurry. As soon as he saw Enzo and Wayne, he said solemnly: "Oh no, the pipe connecting the water purification system to the shelter has been damaged. We must It needs to be repaired as soon as possible.”
Enzo and Wayne looked at each other.
"You two, take care of this guy first." Enzo ordered the two scavengers, and then said, "Wayne, you stay to maintain order in the shelter. Uriah and I will go deal with the water purification device." "
"Okay, be careful." Wayne nodded.
The water purification device is related to the entire shelter, so there is no room for sloppiness. Enzo did not intend to waste time and handed the newly made double-barreled shotgun to Uriah to facilitate the other party to go to the water purification device area.
Not long after, the two came to a door.
"This is the entrance to the pipe connected to the water purification device." Uriah pointed to the door in front and introduced.
Then, he took out a key and opened the iron door.
After Wayne and his gang became the rulers of the underground shelter, Uriah took the initiative to take charge of the water purification device. Now she basically guards this place with a few of her subordinates day and night. In the small shed not far away, several men left one after another. come over.
"Boss Uriah, Boss Enzo."
The guard responsible for guarding the water purification gate greeted several people. When Uriah was hesitating how many people should be brought to deal with the pipeline, Enzo had already spoken.
"You guys stay outside and I'll go in by myself."
The pipe connecting the water purification device to the shelter is very narrow. Too many people entering will delay things. What's more, the main threat is the mutated zombie. As long as it is eliminated, everything will be no problem.
"...Okay." Uriah hesitated.
Then, Enzo walked into the water purification pipe. This narrow passage could only accommodate one person. Enzo turned on the scanning function of the chip, always paying attention to the movements around him, and looking for the location of the mutated zombies.
After more than half a month, Enzo has been promoted to Grand Knight.
If according to this world's calculation method, it is equivalent to a bronze hunter. With the aid of the chip, it is enough to explode the strength of a silver hunter, which is roughly equivalent to the level of an extraordinary knight, that is, a first-level life form.
Moving forward in the dark and damp pipe, Enzo's eyes were particularly clear.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from not far away.
"over there?"
Enzo narrowed his eyes and used the scanning function of the chip to see that not far above, the pipe was broken, mud and muddy water flowed down, and a mutated zombie with a belly as big as a drum was lying on its stomach.
As if it smelled the scent of humans, the mutant zombie slowly raised its head.
"A zombie with a mutated belly?"
Enzo raised his eyebrows. The biggest difference between this mutant zombie and other zombies is its bloated belly. He had never heard of a zombie that would mutate in the belly.
"Chip, scan!" Enzo was curious and turned on the scanning function.
Looking at the mutant zombie's belly, he was shocked. An extremely powerful energy source was condensing in the other's abdomen. If this power exploded, it would be enough to completely destroy ten shelters.
"What's going on?" Enzo frowned slightly.
The energy source in the mutant zombie's belly obviously did not belong to it, but was eaten for some reason. Perhaps it was because of this that the mutant zombie's belly swelled to this extent.
Enzo didn't have time to think about it, and the mutant zombie had already swam over.
The special mutation ability allowed this zombie to swim freely in the mud. When it approached Enzo, it opened its mouth and spit out an energy wave, which directly smashed the pipe above and caused a large number of collapses around it.
"What a strong energy!" Enzo narrowed his eyes.
The energy shock just now was as powerful as witchcraft. It is estimated that in this world, most mechas cannot burst out such an attack. Enzo could not help but cheer up and move quickly.
The narrow space is very disadvantageous for Enzo.
He must fight quickly, not only because of the threat of mutant zombies, but more importantly because the fight between them is likely to damage the water purification device and even threaten the safety of the entire shelter.
Boom!
Another energy shock came, Enzo dodged awkwardly, a trace of anger appeared in his eyes. When had he ever experienced such a frustrating battle? The chip auxiliary function was turned on, and after locking the position of the mutant zombie, he rushed over.
Puff!
In an instant, a sharp steel bar had penetrated the mutant zombie's head. As Enzo exerted force on his wrist, he crushed the mutant zombie's head, grabbed its rotten neck with one hand, and pulled it down directly.
"Damn it!"
Although he killed the mutant zombie, Enzo showed no joy on his face. He looked at the water purification pipeline not far away. A large area of the pipeline had collapsed, causing the water purification equipment to be damaged and even repair was impossible.
At this point, Enzo no longer hesitated.
While the pipeline could still hold for a few minutes, he decisively tore open the mutant zombie's stomach and found an energy source the size of a human head from a pile of rotten internal organs.
