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

The people at the table opposite her were quite loud, even without eavesdropping.

With just a few words, he drew everyone's attention.

"Have you heard? This time, the scavenging team discovered a strange black mist in the nearby garbage city."

"Black mist?"

"Yes, I heard they even eat people."

"Could it be some undiscovered mutated beast or mutated plant? There was a mutated flying insect before, it didn't change size, but it reproduced faster, and when it gathered together it was like a black fog, and people who went in couldn't get out."

"It's not that thing. It's said that this black fog can block signal devices."

"It's a period of magnetic field weakness now, isn't it normal for the signal receiver to not receive a signal?"

"You've heard that those mutated flying insects are unaffected by particle cannons?"

"Particle cannon? That thing An Xincheng just developed?"

"Yes, didn't they show us on the giant screen last time? A beam of light can blast a hole in mutated plants and animals, and zombies are easy to kill too."

"That's really unbelievable. The damage from that cannon is comparable to the attack power of a top-tier superhuman."

"Let me tell you, that new gadget, the 'Scent Shielder,' is also useless against that black mist. Our scavenging team was almost wiped out."

"Really? What is that thing?"

"I don't know. I heard that our base has already sent people over to check the situation and has also passed the message on to other bases. We won't receive a reply for a few days."

……

After the man said that, the entire restaurant fell silent.

The only sound was the mutated mouse robot serving food from a tray.

Upon hearing this, Shi Jinwei's first reaction was that it could produce eerie "black mist".

These people only mentioned the presence of black mist, without mentioning any related "monsters".

In normal dungeons, the NPCs don't see anything strange or the black mist.

Whether the black mist these people saw was truly a "strange black mist" is hard to say.

She also heard many new terms, searching for them on her bracelet while eating and listening:

Signal transceiver: An instrument developed by An Xincheng that can establish a temporary local area network in a small area of ​​nuclear radiation zone. It can be used in a bridge configuration, with up to six transceivers capable of establishing a transmission and reception range with a diameter of 500 meters.

It's already widespread; you can buy it at modification shops in the city and install it on your wristband.

Particle Cannon: A new type of energy weapon developed by Anxin City in the past two years. It is very similar to the kind of weapon that shoots beams of light in science fiction movies. It is expensive to manufacture and is only equipped by official forces.

Shielding Device: An instrument developed by An Xincheng that can shield the human scent. After wearing this, mutated plants and animals and zombies will treat you as a "comrade" and will no longer attack you.

It's already widespread; you can buy it at modification shops in the city and install it on your wristband.

Scavenging teams: Teams, whether privately or officially organized, that specialize in searching for supplies in abandoned cities and other similar locations.

Shi Jinwei encountered this in the "Garbage Mountain Dungeon," and even kidnapped a couple who specialized in scavenging and took away their remaining children.

Anxin City: A new city built by people after the fall of the central city, when they reclaimed their homeland.

It can also be understood as a "capital city" after the apocalypse.

It is the "New Eden" that everyone longs for.

……

Shi Jinwei is interested in "particle cannons", "shielding devices" and "signal devices".

However, the first one is unavailable for now; I'll have to inquire on the black market.

The two nearest installation shops can do the modification.

After she finished eating, she sat for a while, and seeing that the surroundings had returned to their usual noise and there was no other important news, she got up and left.

It's not what Shi Jinwei thought—just installing a new part on the bracelet.

After going to the modification shop, the mechanic simply downloaded an app to her wristband to activate it.

The technician briefly explained to Shi Jinwei how to use the app, explaining that both the jammer and the signal transmitter use the same app.

Buy that and they'll activate the corresponding function for you.

They just stuck something like a pad on the bottom of the bracelet and that was it.

Shi Jinwei's expression rarely turned into "(⊙o⊙)!!!"

I was still a little dazed when I walked out of the store. Why did this setting take such an unconventional approach?

However, she didn't have time to think about these things right now; instead, she searched for other information.

Besides the natural disaster, what also concerned her was the "large-scale mission for superhumans organized by Anxin City".

What kind of mission could possibly prompt so many safe cities to act together?

But there was no message at all in the bracelet.

If she hadn't happened to come to the restaurant at that time and met the young couple, she really wouldn't have known this information.

Whether it will be related to future dungeons is unknown at the moment; we can only keep it in mind for now.

Another issue is the black fog.

The official sources didn't hide anything and even proactively released the video.

The purpose is to serve as a warning to independent scavengers and task forces.

If they happen to meet outside, don't approach them like they're flying insects; you might end up losing more than you gain.

In the video, a cloud of black mist can be seen floating above the garbage heap.

A person in protective clothing threw a stone at the black fog, but the fog did not react.

They threw a piece of rotten flesh over, and the black mist swallowed it.

This action was like a switch being activated; the next second, the black mist swallowed the person who threw the object.

The camera captured horrified screams from the crowd.

Because the black mist began to attack the others.

Shi Jinwei keenly noticed that the black mist seemed to have grown larger after swallowing the person.

In the very center, a small black blob is faintly visible.

People scattered in terror, and the camera automatically locked onto the black fog.

Watching it chase after the people around it, it ate two and seemed to be full, so it stopped running.

……

The video ends here. Below is the official warning subtitle; she has no interest in watching it anymore.

It's highly likely that this black mist is a strange entity.

It's just that people don't seem to see the small black blob in the middle?

She carefully read through the comments, but no one mentioned it; they probably couldn't see it.

I'd venture to guess: will people be able to see black mist after the apocalypse?

But what about the eerie things that are happening in the black fog?

However, that wasn't the main point; she continued to look at topics related to "planetary magnetic fields" and "solar storms."

The planet has experienced dozens of instances of "weak magnetic field" phenomena before.

The earliest instance was the "first mutated beast tide" that Shi Jinwei encountered.

At the time, people speculated that it was a solar flare, but it was never confirmed.

After several instances of development, the NPCs have been able to confirm that the mutated beast tides and zombie tides are related to the planet's magnetic field and solar storms.

Under normal magnetic field conditions, if the sun produces a solar storm, the planet will be less affected, but the disasters that will occur are the inability to use communication equipment, mutated beast tides, and zombie tides.

In the case of a weak magnetic field, the effects of solar storms include mutated beast hordes, zombie hordes, and various natural disasters.

This cannot be explained using prior or pre-existing scientific knowledge; all we can do is be fully prepared.

High or low temperatures are manageable, but the most terrifying thing is torrential rain carrying radiation.
