Chapter 270

The Wastewater Swamp isn't exactly an ocean, and there are a few uncovered paths in between.

Chu Zihang walked up to a path, but he didn't hurry up. Instead, he picked up a piece of metal from the ground and threw it on the road.

There was a splash of water, and a creature that looked like a dog and a crocodile rushed out of the swamp, holding the metal block in its mouth.

Its long snout is constantly opening and closing, and the metal block is constantly deforming in its mouth.

It's a crocodile!
This kind of creature likes to live in wastewater, and its bite force and scale hardness are amazing.

Moreover, according to Lu Mingfei, its intelligence level is not low.

Thinking of this, Chu Zihang took off the double-barreled shotgun on his back.

This thing only looks the same as the weapon of the same name on Earth, but its structure and material are quite different.

The steel ball inside has been hardened, and the shell of the armored vehicle can be smashed at a short distance.

Moreover, the recoil force is much smaller than in theory, and some kind of recoil or buffer device should be installed.

Even in the Bottom Nest, such a weapon is no longer a commodity, and I don't know where Lu Mingfei got it.

Chu Zihang put his finger on the trigger but didn't pull it off. The dog crocodile's yellow eyes were fixed on him.

After confronting for a while, it let out a cry that seemed to be dissatisfied but also a warning, and then retreated into the water.

The raised back separated the water surface, and the dog crocodile swam to a distance of five or six meters from the path, and then continued to look at it with its head exposed.

For a distance of five or six meters, even with the explosive power of a dog crocodile, it takes about one second, but it only takes one second.

The moment he slackens, it rips off the arm and the shotgun.

This distance is the concession of the dog crocodile, and it is also its trap.

"Even a crocodile is so smart, how did Brother Lu Mingfei fight his way out of these monsters and become recruits of the battle group?"

Chu Zihang sighed.

He stepped on the road with a shotgun in his hand, and walked towards the water purification plant in small steps.

Until he stepped into the gate of the water purification plant, he didn't give the dog and crocodile a chance.

With a grunt, the beast sank back into the water to await its next prey.

Entering the gate of the water purification plant, Chu Zihang ran directly to the central control room.

Abandoned for hundreds of years, the equipment that has not been corroded by waste water is still as clean as new.

But that's only on the surface, the internal structure must have been malfunctioning or damaged.

The water purification plant is a relatively precious asset of Bottom Nest. If it can be used, those gangs will definitely not give it up.

But if it does break, the gang doesn't have the ability to repair it.

As for the upper-level managers of the hive capital?
Those nobles prefer to build a new layer rather than maintain the lower layer of the hive capital.

When we arrived at the central control room, the door that had been tightly sealed had already been opened.

Various equipment and instruments were destroyed, and pipelines and circuits were exposed.

Countless treasure hunters have come here and taken everything of value.

Except for those not found.

Chu Zihang walked to the southernmost corner of the central control room, and punched the metal wall three times.

A slight sound came from the ground, and a metal plate was slightly lifted by the mechanism.

He lifted the metal plate, and four transparent crystals were lying in the groove.

This is the water purification chip, one of the hive capital's black technologies. It only needs such a small piece to maintain the operation of the water purification device in a small settlement.

And it is extremely simple to use, as long as it is powered on, the chip will generate a strong magnetic field to separate harmful substances such as microorganisms, feces, and heavy metals, and the purification rate can reach more than 95%.

This is a hard currency that sells well in all settlements. Four water purification chips can even find a worker in the next nest and buy a small house.

For most bottom nesters, this is already a dream life.

Of course, the premise is that you can sell things alive.

Chu Zihang put the chip into the inner pocket, and then restored the mechanism.

As soon as he walked out of the central control room, he saw a group of people in fur clothes walking into the gate of the factory.

They were generally short in stature, even the tallest one only reached Chu Zihang's chin.

These men carried a variety of weapons in their hands, ranging from bolt-action rifles or pistols at best to machetes wrought from sheet iron.

With this special attire and temperament, Chu Zihang quickly identified them in his memory and confirmed their identities.

Ratmen, a group of demihumans living in the form of tribes at the bottom of the hive.

They usually live in cracks in pipes, abandoned factories, etc., relying on nomadic survival and staying away from people.

Ratmen are also less aggressive, as they fear revenge from the undead.

Living in isolation, they were not educated by the Empire, but had their own shamanism, worshiping the hive spirits.

These guys regard the hive city as a living body, and regard various natural disasters in the hive city as the joys and sorrows of the hive city. They breathe together with the hive city and feel the spirit of the hive city.

The reason why they are called rat men is because of the clothes they wear made of giant rat fur.

Generally speaking, the mouse skin people can be regarded as the most harmless group of people in the bottom.

What are these lowliest untouchables doing in the water purification plant?
Chu Zihang wanted to hide and observe, but the mouse skin man's sensitive senses let them hear him.

The tallest mouse skin man screamed immediately, and all the mouse skin men raised their weapons nervously.

Chu Zihang dodged and hid in the control room, but he didn't hear the sound of firing, only the loud shout of the mouse-skinned leader.

As much as he tried to hear, the Rat Man's accent was too thick, like the English of a Frenchman born in India and raised in Japan.

"I can not understand what you say."

Chu Zihang said loudly.

The leader of the mouse skin was silent, and after a while, an older voice with a clearer accent sounded.

"We don't want to hurt you, young man. If you want to leave, we're willing to get out of the way."

"Who are you guys and what are you doing here?"

Chu Zihang asked.

"We are just a group of hard-working people who want to come here to try our luck and find something usable."

said the old voice.

He thought for a while, picked up a metal plate to block in front of himself, and then walked out of the central control room.

When the mouse skin man saw him coming out, there was another commotion, but he did not open fire.

"Let's go, young man, we are different from others, we are not interested in senseless killing."

The old voice sounded again.

This time Chu Zihang saw the appearance of the other party clearly. It was a hunched rat-skinned man with traces of years and poisonous gas on his face.

But the eyes looked very bright, and the hand holding the pistol was steady.

He remained vigilant and passed by the side of the mouse skin man.

The rat men also looked at him nervously, especially at the double-barreled shotgun in his hand.

If they get hit, at least half of them will be killed or injured.

Only then did Chu Zihang realize that among these mouse skin men were not only adult men, but also women and half-grown children.

In this way, he faced the mouse skin team and retreated, until he retreated to the gate, but they did not launch an attack.

Just when Chu Zihang was about to step out of the gate with one foot, he stopped suddenly.
