Survival in the apocalypse: I exploited a bug in an infinite dungeon.
Chapter 22 Anrong City 15
By the time I brought the things back, it was already afternoon.
However, time was of the essence, so they went back underground and continued their efforts, but after two hours, they still had no results.
"Damn it, where is this damn entrance?" Cheng Rui finally couldn't help but swear when he returned to the building from yesterday night.
Shi Jinwei remained calm: "We'll find it eventually, what's the rush?"
Although she was anxious, the more flustered she became, the harder it was to get things done.
Seeing that she was calmer than him, Cheng Rui was inspired and gradually calmed down as well.
On the 20th day of the game, the two continued their underwater search.
As the saying goes, perseverance pays off, and this time they finally discovered the clues.
It was in a corner of the underground parking garage, with a barely noticeable crack in the ground, much like the description given by Cheng Rui's second brother.
The problem is that while the gap is easy to pry open on land, underwater, due to the resistance, even if Shi Jinwei takes out a knife and the two of them work together, the gap doesn't budge at all.
In the end, they had to go up to rest because they had been underwater for too long.
Cheng Rui was too exhausted to even complain anymore, and sat there dejectedly.
When his second brother told him about this place, he thought it would be easy to get in, but the series of setbacks made him admit defeat to the designer.
"Alright, don't be discouraged. Now that we've found it, things will be easier from here on out," Shi Jinwei said, offering rare words of comfort.
After resting for an hour, they went back into the water.
This time, however, Shi Jinwei did not let Cheng Rui act blindly, but carefully examined the gap.
Suddenly, an idea struck her, and she tried pressing on that spot.
As a result, I saw that this place actually popped out slightly, like a spring-loaded button.
Presumably because it was underwater, it couldn't fully pop out, so it only bulged slightly.
Cheng Rui: "..."
He cursed his second brother hundreds of times in his heart.
With the protrusion in place, things became easier. They carefully pried the protrusion open with a knife, finally revealing what was inside.
Inside, there was a glass cover with a panel that looked like a combination lock underneath.
These were all waterproofed. Cheng Rui simply lifted the cover and entered a twelve-digit password.
Shi Jinwei observed her surroundings from the moment he entered the password, but she didn't notice any changes.
Then Cheng Rui gestured to her, indicating that she should follow him.
However, an unexpected change occurred at this moment.
First, the stairs around them began to sway slightly, and the water began to ripple unusually.
Then they saw the water in the entire garage start to rush in one direction, as if it had been ignited.
The flood discharge dam has been breached!
Upon hearing this idea, both of them were startled and hurriedly rushed towards the entrance.
But no matter how fast they go, they can't outrun the flow of water.
Shi Jinwei felt a tremendous force rushing towards her, and then she began to tumble in the water.
Cheng Rui wasn't in much better shape; if they hadn't crashed into the wall, they probably would have been "flying" away.
Even so, this feeling still made them feel suffocated.
It's like someone on the other side is spraying your whole body with hundreds of high-pressure water guns. You are powerless to resist, your whole body aches, and you have difficulty breathing.
Shi Jinwei gasped for breath inside the oxygen mask.
To alleviate the discomfort in her chest, she leaned against the wall with difficulty, trying to turn her body so that her chest was facing the wall, in order to relieve the discomfort.
Just when she thought she couldn't hold on any longer, the pressure finally disappeared.
The two of them leaned against the wall for a while to catch their breath before struggling to swim upwards.
Their vigorous breathing had increased oxygen consumption, so they needed to go up and change the oxygen cylinders while they took a break.
But this time, when I swam to the fourth floor, I couldn't see the water surface.
It only surfaced when it reached the corner of the stairs on the fifth floor.
The water level rose by a full 5 meters!
Looking out the window from the stairwell, you can only see one or two stories of most of the low-rise buildings outside.
Some people on the fourth or fifth floor who didn't have time to escape became direct victims.
After the flood, their bodies floated slowly on the water, almost in large numbers.
Even though the two were far apart, they could still faintly hear people crying and shouting.
"Sister Shi, this is only the first wave. There might be a second and a third wave. We need to hurry down," Cheng Rui said in a deep voice.
Even if the dam can't withstand the pressure, it can't collapse all at once.
Therefore, it is very likely that there will be more floods like this in the future.
They had no way of knowing the time, so they could only get into the safe house as quickly as possible.
Shi Jinwei naturally understood what he meant, and without being coy, she put on her equipment and continued to dive underwater.
This time, instead of going to the garage, they swam directly to the stairwell of the underground garage.
Soon they saw a hidden door appear on the otherwise ordinary wall.
Cheng Rui walked over and groped around the hidden door, found the concealed switch, and entered the password again.
Then the hidden door opened, revealing a heavy steel door inside.
They continued entering the second password.
As they entered the password, the hidden door slowly closed, blocking most of the water pressure.
Next are the third and fourth passwords.
The deeper you go, the less water there is, until you enter the fifth door.
Shi Jinwei finally saw the glass door that didn't require a password; it had a keyhole.
Without Cheng Rui's instruction, she inserted the key, turned it left and right to find the right direction, and the door opened directly.
After entering, the glass door closed automatically, and now it was time to witness a miracle.
"Life form detected, water accumulation detected, drainage process initiated."
A mechanical sound rang out in the room, and then the last of the water was drained out, and the two slowly landed.
"Drain the accumulated water and carry out sterilization treatment."
Then, suddenly many spray gun-like disinfection tubes appeared all around and sprayed them violently.
Then, following the instructions of the mechanical voice, the two entered two separate rooms.
Shi Jinwei once saw a video on TV that described in detail what it was like to have an automated shower.
At the time, she thought it was a fantasy, but after experiencing it firsthand, she realized... it really hurts.
Without her having to lift a finger, several mechanical arms emerged from the wall and shredded her clothes into pieces.
Then a broom-like object will appear on the ground and clean up the pieces of clothing.
Then the spray nozzle above her head sprays her vigorously until she is completely soaked, then the robotic arm switches to a fluffy roller brush and gives her a thorough "washing".
That wasn't all. After brushing, I washed my hair three times with something like disinfectant, and then I used shower gel to wash my hair.
After washing, she went into the next room, where her body and hair were dried, before entering the next sterilization room.
Just like in the hospital, after this step, she felt like her whole being had been elevated.
"Sterilization complete. Human, welcome to the safe house." The mechanical voice finally freed Shi Jinwei, and a door opened beside her.
Shi Jinwei couldn't wait to put on her clothes and go outside, only to see Cheng Rui, who also looked utterly hopeless.
They haven't cleaned the internal organs yet, so they're not afraid of infection now.
At that moment, a robotic arm reached out from the sky again and fed them the latest type of medicine to boost their immunity.
"This safe house is really advanced," Shi Jinwei said after sitting in the chair for a long time.
Cheng Rui gave a wry smile: "This is built with the world's most advanced technology, and it is said to be safe even in a 9.5 magnitude earthquake."
"What if there's a volcanic eruption?" she wondered.
"We can guarantee that the person will survive inside for two months," Cheng Rui continued to explain.
Without Shi Jinwei continuing to ask questions, an electronic screen appeared in front of them, explaining the function of this place in detail.
Even in the event of a volcanic eruption or if the safe house is buried underground, this shell can still dig a hole on its own to safely bring people to the surface. Therefore, it is very expensive and will only be used as a last resort.
When designing the safe house in Anrong City, the factors that prevented those inside from knowing what was happening outside were taken into account, and surveillance equipment was installed at the highest point of the official office building.
The wiring is buried in the building's pillars and is generally impossible to destroy.
When a person enters the building, the internal power supply automatically starts, and the monitoring system automatically turns on.
Without hesitation, they turned on the surveillance camera and happened to witness a scene they would never forget.
Inside the safe house, they felt nothing, but outside, a massive torrent was surging toward Anrong City with overwhelming force.
Many high-rise buildings collapsed due to various reasons, and countless people who were on the top floor fell into the water like dumplings being dropped into a pot, disappearing without a trace.
Various debris, animal and human corpses, and building ruins tumbled in the water.
The raging floodwaters were unstoppable and completely submerged the city of Anrong.
Apart from a few high-rise buildings, almost the entire city of Anrong was submerged.
The surveillance cameras were inevitably blurred by the floodwaters and it took quite a while for them to finally stabilize.
After this flood, very few people survived in Anrong City.
They could even see figures leaning out of the buildings, shouting something into the water. Some, unable to bear the sight, jumped and ended their lives.
On the 21st day of the game, the two found no one alive on the surveillance footage anymore...
On the 23rd day of the game, the flood struck again, and their surveillance cameras were submerged...
On the 28th day of the game, the underwater world finally became calm again.
On the 30th day of the game, at 24:00, Shi Jinwei successfully completed the game and returned directly to the game space!
