Chapter 412 Underground City
Seeing that the secondary personality was staring at the emblem, Hu Ke took the initiative to explain: "This is the contract emblem, the contract we signed with the city. We can feel the city from a distance and prevent us from being polluted."
Second personality: "Pollution?"
Hu Ke: "I don't quite understand what you mean. Pollution means that the body will decay and die soon. I will take you back to the city to meet someone. She should know your era very well."
Ye Tingbai thought about it and decided that sneaking into a city now was indeed the easiest way to understand it, so he agreed to Hu Ke.
Hu Ke is very experienced and can always choose the safest way in the mountains and forests.
Second personality: "Is it dangerous here?"
Hu Ke: "The Spider Mountains, the territory of the Nakya clan, are full of human-faced spiders, which are very scary."
"Then why did you come here?"
"The eggs of human-faced spiders are very precious, so precious that they can make us rich for a lifetime. The spider silk of human-faced spiders is also very valuable. For the sake of life, I have no choice. My residency qualification is about to expire, so I can only fight."
The secondary personality nodded and didn't ask more questions. The more questions he asked, the easier it would be to expose his own problems.
An hour later, Hu Ke and his secondary personality found a covered cellar. Hu Ke jumped down directly, and the secondary personality followed closely. There was a very smooth passage here, which was slanted downward at a 45-degree angle, just enough for people to slide down.
After walking down the slide, there was a worn-out straw mat below. The two fell on it and hugged each other. Hu Ke looked shy, and the secondary personality looked indifferent.
Secondary personality: "Are all your cities underground?"
Hu Ke: "Thirty years ago, the last ground city of mankind was destroyed. It was just east of the Spider Mountains and was called Yangcheng. Since then, mankind has completely moved to underground cities. We are no longer qualified to survive on the ground."
From Hu Ke's description, Ye Tingbai also roughly understood the current situation of the world. The world now does not have the pollutants he remembered, because the outside gods are rampant, and the pollution sources are countless times more than before. The previous pollution was a chronic poison that could cause people to mutate, while the current pollutants have become highly toxic. As long as they are exposed, they will die. There is another possibility of becoming a member of the outside gods.
In this era, there are many foreign gods, and countless foreign gods are wreaking havoc in the world. They divide territories among each other, keep their own families in them, and fight each other.
Humanity has completely lost the qualification to survive on the ground.
Hu Ke walked through a nearly 100-meter tunnel with his secondary personality and came to a gate. The tunnel can accommodate about 100 people. There are dozens of similar slides around. In front of the two is a heavy iron door. Several people are guarding in front with weapons, and people keep coming in and out.
Hu Ke took out an identity card and handed it to the guard. The man swiped it on the machine at hand, just like swiping a credit card.
Ding~ Hu Ke, survival score 40
"Only 40 points left, did you get anything?"
"Yes, yes, this time I got the spider silk of the human-faced spider."
Hu Ke took out the spider silk that was tied to her body before. Ye Tingbai didn't make much acid, so this spider silk was relatively intact. Several guards were stunned when they saw this large ball of spider silk. Normal people can only find a few spider silks at most. If it is in the shape of a cocoon, it means that they have encountered a human-faced spider, and the survival rate is almost 0.
Guard: "Not bad, a lot of gains, where is this person, ID card!"
Hu Ke: "He is my teammate, his ID card is lost, and the inside is also gone. Please make a temporary one for him. This ball of spider silk is for everyone. Sorry for the trouble."
The guard was impatient when he heard that the ID card was lost, but he smiled when he saw the fist-sized spider silk that Hu Ke took out.
"Okay, okay! Old Wu, give me a temporary card and top up 50 points!"
No matter where you go, this money is a good thing.
Guard: "Come, go through the security check."
A ring as high as a person was placed in front of the door. Hu Ke stepped over the ring and it made a beeping sound.
"Corrosion degree, 30, safe~"
Guard: "Thirty is still a safe value. Go back and have a good rest. Don't go out casually."
Hu Ke called the secondary personality to go over. The secondary personality thought it was also a thing to measure the pollution index, so he didn't care. After all, his pollution index has always been 0 and has never changed.
But when he just stepped over the ring, a shrill alarm sounded.
"Warning, corrosion degree 100, corrosion degree 100, clan invasion, clan invasion!"
The four guards immediately took out their guns and pointed them at the secondary personality, but they didn't shoot immediately because the secondary personality looked like a person without any changes.
Guard: "What's going on? How can a human be corroded 100? Where is your contract pattern?"
The secondary personality simulated a contract pattern exactly like Hu Ke's on his arm. After seeing the emblem, these people were relieved and began to study the iron ring.
The guard slapped the iron ring without any care: "This thing is old, it can measure such an outrageous number as 100? Try it again."
Ye Tingbai directly used magic to block all his breath and stepped over the iron ring again.
Beep~Erosion degree 0, normal
Guard: "Sure enough, there is a problem, it's okay, you can go in."
Hu Ke hurriedly grabbed the hand of the secondary personality and entered the city. Behind the city gate was a staircase that continued to extend downward. This was a huge underground cave. The buildings inside looked very primitive, all of which were some original bricks and stones. In sharp contrast, there were five high-rise buildings, huge cylindrical towers, which were both buildings and supports for the cave.
Hu Ke: "Those five high-rise buildings are where the rich live. The environment inside is very good. They also support this cave. There are about 300 floors, and each floor can accommodate nearly 50 people."
The environment outside this city is very bad. The ground is the most ordinary soil, but it is compacted.
Secondary personality: "What happens if you don't have enough survival points?"
Hu Ke: "You will be driven out of the city. Unless you find enough things to exchange for your life, or someone is willing to save you, you can only wait to die outside.
It is definitely different from your time. I heard from the older generation that before the Great Destruction, humans were very happy. Even if they did nothing, they could get money to ensure their lives. If we don't work now, we are redundant.
As long as you are in this city, you need ten points every day. The first fifteen years of each person are free. After the age of sixty, the consumption of survival points will increase tenfold."
People under the age of fifteen represent the future and potential. People over the age of sixty are indeed a burden for the current situation. It is very good that people here do not directly stipulate that all people over the age of sixty should be driven out to die.
