ALL NOVEL Chapter 194 You’ve been under a lot of pressure recently
The two rowed the rubber boat and quickly reached the other shore. Mu Jiu collected the rubber boat and put it in his bag. Fu Hengyuan reached out and took it naturally and carried it on his back.
Immediately, Fu Hengyuan opened the way, followed by Mu Jiu, and the two quietly walked towards the ring-shaped fortress in the center of the island.
Mu Jiu took the lead to check and found that the total number of people on this island was no more than 30.
In other words, excluding the people on the cargo ships that landed not long ago, there are no more than 10 permanent residents on the island.
As a transfer station for ships between the seas, these people are enough. Similar to the high-speed service stations before the end of the world, they can only provide some basic services.
The outer wall of the fortress is very high, and the wall is the building. Only the part above 6 meters has small windows that open outward.
The windows are sealed with steel mesh, so there is basically no possibility of climbing over the wall.
Mu Jiudu suspected that this place was some kind of private prison before the end of the world. It looked a little dilapidated, but it was still majestic and terrifying, and full of momentum.
Mu Jiu followed Fu Hengyuan to the right and explored the outer wall of the fortress, looking for a breakthrough.
Finally, I found the inconspicuous back door of the fortress in the overgrown bushes.
Presumably the people who stay inside don't enter or exit through the back door.
They were two rusty double-leaf thick iron doors with a strange pattern printed on them. They were probably in disrepair and their original appearance could no longer be seen.
This was not the time to explore these details. Fu Hengyuan studied how to open the big iron door. He took out two thin steel wires from somewhere and started to pick the lock.
Mu Jiu stood aside and waited quietly. His consciousness had entered the fortress and he was exploring carefully.
The structure of this fortress is not complicated. There is a two-story building around the outside, plus a warehouse-like place on the ground floor.
There was an open space in the middle, with a hard ground paved with cement, but it was cracked into pieces due to the devastation of the apocalypse, which looked a bit disgusting.
Everyone inside, including the group that had just landed, was now concentrated near the front gate of the fortress, and seemed to be negotiating something, which was not very pleasant.
Mu Jiu guessed that it was probably because of Tamsui.
They had cut off the fresh water supply business they had negotiated, and even blew up the fleet.
Now there are only a few cargo ships that have escaped empty, bringing nothing with them.
But a small island like this, even if it is located in the sea and is surrounded by sea water, must rely on external supplies of fresh water to survive.
After all, converting seawater into fresh water is far more complicated and troublesome than imagined.
In the end of the world, all forces will have their own considerations.
For example, the indigenous refugees guarding the island at the moment, although there are not many in number, are faced with the situation of not bringing back any useful supplies in exchange.
Obviously, they are not willing to use the supplementary fuel energy to replenish these cargo ships.
Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it will be like beating a dog with a meat bun and there will be no return.
The last days are difficult, and whose supplies are not supplies.
So at this moment, the two sides were arguing endlessly, and they were still talking in E-slang. Mu Jiu could only use her level 4 plastic skills to listen and join in the fun.
Just when she was listening with interest, she was touched by a big warm hand on her forehead, which made Mu Jiu jump out of fright.
Immediately put on a defensive posture...
"You don't have a fever. How are you? Did you fall asleep standing up, sleepwalking?" Fu Hengyuan's clean voice came from his ear.
Only then did Mu Jiu come back to her senses. She was so fascinated by what she was listening to that she couldn't remember the meaning of a few words...
"Ahem! Well~ I'm probably a little sleepy!"
Mu Jiu laughed and asked for no reason: "Well, what does antibiotics mean?"
Fu Hengyuan was a little confused by this question, and several big question marks popped up in his mind, "What did you just say?"
"Ahem, it's nothing. I just dreamed that I was taking an exam and there was a question I couldn't solve..."
Mu Jiu borrowed the words of the donkey down the slope and talked casually.
Fu Hengyuan...
"Are you asking about antibiotics? Antibiotics, are you under a lot of stress recently? I heard the team doctor said that this is what happened when you dreamed about exams.
But you are really capable of going into deep sleep even under such circumstances! "
As Fu Hengyuan spoke, he yawned as if he was infected and said with emotion:
"I'm really tired from going out this time. I haven't slept much in three days."
Mu Jiu looked at Fu Hengyuan sympathetically. Well, as someone who wants to lie down and enjoy herself, she is guaranteed 8 hours of sleep every day.
"Sir Fu, if you haven't slept for three days, aren't you afraid of sudden death?
I remember before the end of the world, people often burped because they stayed up late and worked overtime without sleeping.
You are under a lot of pressure! "
She wants to live for a long time, otherwise so many materials in space will not be wasted!
"Fortunately, I slept for an hour or two when I couldn't hold on any longer.
Isn't there a saying that says, why sleep for a long time while alive? You will sleep forever after you die.
When I’m nervous on a mission, I automatically get less sleep. "
Mu Jiu...
As expected, everyone likes to be a boss. It feels like working and making money for oneself, which is full of motivation!
"By the way, has the lock been picked?" Mu Jiu quickly changed the topic.
Fu Hengyuan shook his head helplessly, "I just wanted to ask you if you brought any other tools.
This lock is too old, and the structure inside is rusted together. There is no point of strength at all, and it will shatter into pieces when you poke it! "
"Okay, let me take a look." Mu Jiu said, and Fu Hengyuan stepped aside to make way for her.
Fu Hengyuan naturally didn't know what was going on inside the fortress, so he could only think of opening the lock with as little movement as possible to avoid disturbing the situation and causing trouble.
After all, there are only two of them. Although the enemy is overt and we are covert, he may not be at a disadvantage, but he does not like a passive situation. It is best to be able to sneak in quietly.
It was completely dark now. The two of them consciously took out their night vision goggles and put them on, and continued to study the door.
Night vision goggles have become a common item worn by people like them since the extreme heat came and day and night were reversed.
Mu Jiu looked at it for a long time, but couldn't see anything special. There was only a small gap between the bottom of the door and the ground.
Mu Jiu thought for a while, put her hand into her pocket, took out the work gloves that prevented scratches and stab wounds from the space, and put them on.
"Help me hold the door, and I'll try to see if I can remove it directly. This thing doesn't look very strong."
Fu Hengyuan thought for a moment and did as he was told. This was probably the option with the least noise at the moment. It was much gentler than just kicking him away.
With a slight click, the half iron door on the left separated from the wall from the side rotating hinge...
Just like before when he opened the steel mesh with his bare hands, Mu Jiu unloaded half of the 500-pound iron door with his bare hands.
Her strength was directed inward, and she controlled it just right. Half of the door leaf fell towards Fu Hengyuan to catch it.
The two of them set the door aside in unison and entered the yard one after the other.
There was no one in the courtyard at the moment, but the inside and outside seemed like two different worlds.
All the first-floor doors in the ring-shaped fortress open to the inner courtyard, and all the equipment and objects that can be seen here indicate that this is probably some kind of secret research institute.
Research institutes related to medicine.
