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

Another superhuman chimed in, "Safe City isn't that big; it can't hold too many people. I heard they're even implementing a 'birth promotion policy,' so they're not short of people at all. Even if we wanted to go, they might not want us."

"Everyone's acting on their own now, and we're just surviving in the cracks. Do you know that scarred guy?" someone changed the subject.

His question reminded the regulars at the bar, and they all nodded in agreement.

Let the person continue.

Shi Jinwei listened to her surroundings but found no other useful information.

I turned back and listened to the group continue their conversation.

The scarred man is a regular at the bar and a skilled member of the mission team.

Their superpowers rank among the top in the base.

Large, safe cities have already established detailed classifications for the levels of superhumans.

It hasn't been extended to other bases yet.

Therefore, all that is known is that his superpower is very strong.

Two months ago, this person heard that a large safe city was recruiting people with superpowers and would provide them with accommodation.

Big cities are better than their precarious little bases in terms of security, resources, and development.

After discussing it with my regular teammates, we decided to go and try our luck.

Unable to ascertain the specifics of the situation, the two set off without their families, traveling light.

It took us half a month to get to the base, only to find that it was completely different from what we had heard.

The base recruits people with superpowers, but the requirements are stringent.

The two barely met the requirements and were even assigned a room.

As a result, the local indigenous people were extremely discriminatory towards newcomers.

They have to pay an extra 10% when they buy something.

This is tolerable.

However, after a few days, they discovered that of the dozen or so people in the room, only the two of them remained.

The whereabouts of the others are unknown.

The two sensed something was wrong, because many of the outsiders in the other houses had also gone missing.

So they discussed it and decided to leave, as the situation here was unclear and life was too difficult.

That night, she was drugged and taken to the laboratory.

In the end, the scarred man risked his life to help his teammates escape, but he himself was captured and taken back to be used as a test subject.

"I don't know what kind of experiment it is, but it requires people with superpowers. Safe City naturally denies it, but the people here who wanted to go have all given up the idea," the man said.

The others looked at each other in bewilderment.

Shi Jinwei then thought of the group of children arrested in Anjing City.

Is it also for the sake of superpowers?

Then these people started talking about other things, all related to the mission.

Shi Jinwei checked the time; it was time for the black market to open, so she stopped listening.

After paying, I put on a gas mask and headed towards the market.

The market is bustling during the day, crowded with people like a marketplace.

The black market at night is a completely different story.

The buyers were alright; they only bought ordinary protective suits and masks.

The sellers, on the other hand, were well-covered, with most of their items disguised on the outside of masks or their faces.

It's impossible to tell what it actually looks like.

The items sold there are also different from those sold during the day.

Tobacco, alcohol, tea, gold, and firearms.

There were also demonstrations on site where the skin of mutated beasts was made into armor and the bones were made into weapons.

She even saw plants and animals that had not mutated.

The price is so high that it makes people shake their heads; an average family couldn't afford it even for a year's worth of food.

Her first goal was "energy shoes".

After circling around inside a few times, I finally found my target.

The stall wasn't big, and it was full of shoes, all different styles, and all of them could fly.

The stall owner sat lazily in the chair, looking listless.

Other sellers were all trying to attract customers, their shouts filling the air.

This person, however, had an attitude of "take it or leave it."

When someone stopped to look at the shoes, he would only lift his eyelids to take a look before continuing to stare blankly at his head.

Shi Jinwei couldn't tell the difference in function between these shoes, so she could only call for help.

The stall owner introduced the stall in a lazy, sloth-like voice, which made her anxious.

Ask for the best; price is not an issue.

Hearing her boastful words, the man finally looked at her properly.

Seeing her expression that suggested she didn't care about money, he smiled.

He bent down and pulled a box from under the stall. Inside, instead of shoes, were insoles.

It looks like it's made of metal, with a silvery-white sheen.

"This is SafeCity's latest power bank. It automatically attaches to the soles of your shoes, so you don't need to change shoes. One charge lasts for 12 hours, which is two to three times longer than other shoes. What do you think?"

The shop owner spoke much faster when introducing these insoles, clearly treating them like a prized possession.

Shi Jinwei didn't hesitate and bought two sets directly.

The shop owner was surprised that she was actually quite wealthy, so he happily handed her the goods and then started packing up his stall.

Seeing that Shi Jinwei was still standing there, he waved his hand and said, "That's it for today, we're not selling anymore."

She was speechless when she first encountered this kind of seller.

However, since I also wanted to buy a "tranquilizer gun" that could anesthetize plants, I continued browsing.

I finally bought it from a stall selling firearms.

The price is attractive.

A gun and 20 bullets cost a total of 30000 contribution points.

Two pairs of insoles cost 8000 contribution points.

Even if you don't earn enough in a day to buy shoe insoles, you can still spend it.

Most of the other items were useless, but there was armor made from mutated animal hides that could be worn under protective clothing to withstand their attacks.

Its defensive capabilities are also quite good.

I spent 2000 coins to buy 4 sets.

I returned home with a full load and slept well that night.

On the third day of the game, the bearded man was waiting in the small square early in the morning.

Upon seeing Shi Jinwei, he immediately waved excitedly, as if afraid the God of Wealth wouldn't see him.

Shi Jinwei nodded to the man, accepted six tasks, and got into the car.

Today's tasks didn't involve any of the plants I saw yesterday. I wasn't sure if there would be any other issues along the way, so I didn't dare accept too many.

The bearded man assumed she would also pick up any mutated plants along the way.

They immediately started rubbing their hands together, eager to get on the bus as soon as they saw someone getting on.

After hearing Shi Jinwei's list of goals, he smiled wryly: "Little girl, you're afraid we'll be too quiet. Six missions in all directions, I have to admire you."

Shi Jinwei: "I'll give you 500 contribution points today."

"Alright, please sit tight, we're off now."

Upon hearing the price, I didn't say anything more and just hit the road.

The first three tasks went fairly smoothly.

On the fourth mission, something went wrong.

A group of mutated rats surrounded the car, trying to force the people inside out.

Watching the football-sized rat squeaking around the car, the bearded man swallowed hard and subconsciously glanced at the person next to him.

Shi Jinwei felt much more at ease when she realized that the group of guys were just shouting around the car and didn't attack it.

Tell the bearded man to stay inside the car and not come out, and open the sunroof.

It stuck the insole to its foot and flew out of the skylight.

This flying game is different from squishy dolls; you need to maintain your balance with both feet.

After a while, I managed to stand still in mid-air, then took out some food and threw it to the ground.

The mutated mice were immediately attracted and began to scramble for the food.

Seeing that it was effective, Shi Jinwei used this method to gather the mice together and make them fly away into the distance.

If someone were to pass by at this moment, they would be horrified to discover that a large group of mutated beasts were rapidly chasing after something in one direction.

It makes you want to run away as soon as you see it.
