Survival in the apocalypse: I exploited a bug in an infinite dungeon.

"Children born without 'superpowers' cannot survive; only children with 'superpowers' can survive."

The mistress said those words with great difficulty.

The three children's eyes were filled with sorrow as they spoke.

Shi Jinwei didn't ask why; the reason was easy to guess.

The pollution in this city, or rather the world, is too severe.

Garbage pollution, air pollution, and water pollution are almost everywhere.

Ordinary people can only live in new cities equipped with a "purification system".

If one were to live in the outside world, the longest lifespan would only be a few years, let alone that of a newborn.

In contrast, the new humans are "systemically immune" to the pollution we see now.

Only children with special abilities can survive under such circumstances; they are all new humans.

As for the failed experiments, those who escaped had a lifespan between that of ordinary people and new humans.

"However, not all children of the new humans possess superpowers."

The eldest brother continued to add to the discussion, as if he were comforting Shi Jinwei.

The waiter wanted to continue, but his expression changed immediately: "Here we go again, hide!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the three children skillfully squeezed into the gaps in the garbage heap.

This is where the small size of the body comes in handy.

Seeing that Shi Jinwei was taller than them, they even found the biggest gap for her to hide in.

Feeling the children's kindness, she did not refuse.

Then we saw an accident happen in the third garbage building.

This time it wasn't a collapse, but an explosion at the top.

She turned her gaze to the three children and noticed that although their expressions showed some panic, their eyes were remarkably calm.

After the loud noise subsided, she asked, "What was that?"

"Sound pollution," the eldest brother said.

Seeing that Shi Jinwei was no longer a threat, he continued to call on his friends to pick up trash, not forgetting to answer Shi Jinwei's questions.

The mistress had the easiest job of the three, so it was his turn to explain:

"Sound pollution refers to the dangers caused by attack waves generated by sounds that we cannot hear."

He frowned and pulled out the explanation from his memory, which was somewhat awkward.

This is a new type of pollution that emerged after the New Human Wars and has been categorized as one of the "new environmental pollutants".

For humans, sound waves that cannot be heard are actually nothing.

But what's frightening is that these sound waves can resonate with certain objects, thus triggering an explosion.

"Because sound wave frequencies are highly irregular, existing scientific knowledge cannot explain these phenomena, so they are regarded as new hazards. It is only because they cannot directly harm the human body that they are called 'sound pollution'."

The waiter fluently supplemented the mistress's information.

Watching the little girl's nimble movements, Shi Jinwei suddenly asked, "So your special ability is that you can hear sound waves?"

The waiter glanced at her and nodded: "You can't hear ordinary sound waves, but I can. After a while, I'll be able to tell by feel which ones can cause harm and issue a warning."

Under normal circumstances, the damage is of a low level.

Ordinary people are used to it and don't feel anything other than that it's inconvenient.

Shi Jinwei felt a headache earlier because her current attribute points are high, and her five senses are also higher than those of ordinary people.

Like noise, the vibrations from sound pollution are unpredictable.

She will become aware of sound waves if their frequency approaches the lower limit of human hearing.

That's why there's a noticeable headache.

"It's noon, let's head back."

Having explained this, the waiter looked at the sky and asked his companion.

The eldest and youngest children had no objections, so all three looked at Shi Jinwei and asked, "Are you coming back with us?"

She nodded sensibly.

Even after understanding the global context, she still dared not be careless.

Perhaps because she had "amnesia," the children were very kind to her.

Rather than being completely clueless, going with them is the best option right now.

Seeing that she didn't refuse, the three children seemed very happy.

The mistress ran over, grabbed Shi Jinwei's hand, and led her back the way they came.

Feeling the thin, small hand in hers, Shi Jinwei lowered her eyes slightly.

They didn't encounter any sonic attacks on the way back, so they were able to return much faster.

Standing by the door, the eldest brother knocked rhythmically.

A child opened the door from the inside.

Seeing a girl standing behind him, the child shrank back in fear.

Upon noticing the three leaders' calm expressions, he also calmed down, took a few steps back, and let them in.

Inside the door was a corridor with a ceiling height of only about 1.5 meters.

Shi Jinwei had no choice but to lower her head and follow them inside.

The child who opened the door emitted a soft light from his hand, illuminating the dark corridor for the group.

After walking around for about ten minutes, twisting and turning, I finally saw a door with glass.

Warm light shone through the glass.

She could clearly sense that the children seemed happier.

The eldest brother opened the door, and a commotion came from inside.

Shi Jinwei squinted slightly and shielded her eyes from the warm light with her hand.

The space inside was large, and a dozen or so children were chattering away.

They all look younger than the eldest.

Hearing the door open, they all looked over, their excited expressions freezing the moment they saw the stranger.

The noisy space became completely silent.

Several younger children took the opportunity to hide behind the older children.

He looked at Shi Jinwei with a mixture of curiosity and wariness.

"Hey, you guys found new friends?"

A gentle voice suddenly rang out from the corner, breaking the tense atmosphere.

It was visibly clear that the children relaxed after hearing the voice.

They made way for her, and Shi Jinwei saw a dark figure slowly moving from the shadows, accompanied by the sound of wheels rolling.

The person was sitting in a wheelchair, wearing a mini ventilator designed for patients.

His face was pale, his cheeks were thin, and he was as thin as a piece of paper.

Unlike the children's wariness, the gaze directed at Shi Jinwei was peaceful and warm.

It's not offensive at all; in fact, it's quite comfortable.

"Uncle, this young lady is the one we met in Zone 3. She seems to be a 'failed product'."

The eldest brother peeked out from behind Shi Jinwei and explained to the man.

The man's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this, but he showed no surprise.

After calming the children down, he gestured for the three children and Shi Jinwei to follow him.

In the space behind them, the children started chattering again.

The five people then moved from the corner to another space.

She then noticed that there was also a small door here.

The man in the wheelchair didn't feel cramped, but Shi Jinwei had to bend over and stoop to walk forward.

This time, after walking for only a few minutes, we entered another space, which looked like a warehouse.

There are many shelves inside, with various supplies neatly arranged on them.

The man didn't greet Shi Jinwei, but instead had his mistress take the supplies out of her spatial storage.

In terms of quantity, this child's space is completely incomparable to Shi Jinwei's.

All they pulled out were junk; there was no food.

The group wasn't disappointed and skillfully sorted and organized the items.
