The night in the wilderness is very dangerous, but it is relatively close to Orchid Town and there are only a few wandering corpse dogs. Plus he has a motorcycle, so it will be relatively safe.
Before dark, he found a large rock more than three meters high and set up a small tent underneath. Then I washed my hands, opened cans, cooked noodles, and had a delicious meal.
That night, nothing special happened except for the occasional barking of a corpse dog in the distance.
A night without words...
At dawn, Chen Xing woke up. Sleeping in the wilderness is really a last resort. Last night, he used rocks and motorcycles to form a relatively safe angle. Lay several more warning traps. If you don't encounter humans, there shouldn't be much of a problem.
After boiling some hot water and eating a piece of compressed biscuit, Chen Xing got on the motorcycle and returned to the place where he killed the living corpse yesterday. He raised his head high, rode slowly, and carefully searched every part of the gray land. generally
Where should the entrance be?
Generally speaking, the entrance should be where the living corpse crawls out. But the scope is too large, and some clues must be found before we can excavate.
About half an hour later, he found a rusty water pipe, so he took out a military shovel and dug holes along the water pipe. In order to avoid being seen by people passing by, he would spread the soil around him every once in a while.
In this way, you have to walk closer to see the straight hole in the ground, which greatly increases the concealment. A traveler in the wilderness would not take the initiative to approach another traveler unless he was confident that his strength was far superior to that of the other traveler. Both parties will maintain a sufficient safe distance to facilitate evacuation at any time.
Digging a hole is a huge project, and after digging for a while and stopping for a whole day, Chen Xing only dug five or six meters down. Cover the hole with a tarp, drive back to the big rock, rest for the night, and continue digging the next day.
"Dudu..."
While digging, the black watch suddenly sounded a beep. Chen Xing opened his sleeves and took a look.

"Yeah!" Chen Xing clenched his fists and shouted to encourage himself. Although overall it is still very low, but every little bit is a little bit, and a little adds up to a lot. One day, he will reach "elite level" combat power.
In this world, combat power levels are generally divided into elite level, guard level, lord level, king level, and emperor level.
The standards for elite level are physical fitness above 25, agility above 15, and strength and spiritual power above 25. Just through exercise alone, it is difficult for most pure humans to have three force-sensitive body levels exceeding 20, and they must be injected with "attribute-enhancing potions" to improve them. Spiritual power depends entirely on talent. Some people are naturally powerful and can absorb spiritual energy, condense spiritual pools, and even swallow up the world, drink from hundreds of rivers, and open up the boundless spiritual sea without the assistance of drugs. Some people are naturally deficient, and no matter how many strengthening potions they take, it won't help.
Only those who reach the elite level can be regarded as warriors in the true sense, and it is also the minimum standard for obtaining a noble title. Otherwise, they are not in the class.
In the United Kingdom of Ambergris, elite warriors can automatically obtain the title of knight as long as they have served for more than ten years. If you have enough military exploits, you can also get the title of baron.
The standards for guard level are very vague. The elastic range is very large, and there are no hard requirements for personal attributes. Because in actual combat, in addition to personal attributes, it also depends on natural abilities, combat skills, experience, the spells that can be cast, etc. A person with fifty attributes is likely to be killed head-on by a person with only twenty attributes but very good natural abilities.
Therefore, the evaluation criteria for the garrison level mainly come from military exploits. After accumulating to a certain level, you can obtain the title of "Guardian of the Wilderness" and own the fiefdom of a town.
As for the lord level, king level, and emperor level that follow, Chen Xing has only heard about them but has no in-depth understanding of them. A low-level mercenary really doesn't need to know much.
However, according to scientists' theories, it is difficult for "carbon-based life" to have a physical strength higher than thirty times that of a standard human being. In other words, the limit of the three attributes of a force-sensitive body is 299. As for spiritual power, it is theoretically unlimited. Therefore, some scientists believe that spiritual power is the key point for carbon-based life to transcend its limits.
Although this is said in theory, in reality, people with more than 100 force-sensitive body attributes are already very rare. Of course, there are also more than 150, but those are all legendary level. And when the attribute exceeds 90, the body density has exceeded the detection range of the black meter, and the specific value cannot be measured, commonly known as "explosion of the meter".
Chen Xing's goal in his previous life was to become an elite mercenary. After working hard for fifteen years, when he was still one step away from his goal, he was slapped away by the Great Demon of the Abyss.
Since God gave him another chance, no matter what, he had to become a guard-level person. Being the mayor of a town and holding an entire town's troops is very impressive. At least for Chen Xing in his previous life, the mayor was already an out-of-reach big shot.
On the fourth day of digging, the ground suddenly sank and collapsed. Fortunately, Chen Xing was prepared and tied a rope around his waist, connecting the motorcycle to the rivets on the ground, so he didn't fall.
It was pitch dark below, so Chen Xing took out a flashlight and shined it. Dust and dirt were everywhere in the incandescent beam.
He relaxed the rope and dropped downward, soon touching the ground. Looking around, this is an underground space of hundreds of square meters. There are many large water tanks around, the ones tens of meters high, either vertically or horizontally, connected to countless thick water pipes, half hidden in the mud, but there is not much rust on the surface.
The top is arched, with a large hole five or six meters in diameter. And he came down from here. Due to a large amount of soil falling from the gap, the ground has risen a lot. Judging from the equipment buried in the soil, it is at least ten meters deep.
Based on past experience, he quickly determined that this was the "impurity precipitation room" of the water station, the first step in the water purification process.
Although no danger was found, Chen Xing still pulled out his pistol and explored carefully.
"Wow..."
When approaching a water tank, the soil on the ground suddenly arched up, and a living corpse pulled the soil and emerged from the ground. Chen Xing quickly pulled out the dagger. When the half body of the living corpse was just unearthed, he held it behind his back, pierced it into its temple, and twisted it hard!
The living corpse waved its arms randomly and soon lowered its head.
Chen Xing wiped the blood from the dagger on his pants and put it back on the armed belt around his waist. Some people like to tie daggers to their calves, but Chen Xing is not used to it. It also affects his movement a bit and makes him easily injured.
After exploring further for a while, another living corpse emerged. Chen Xing followed suit and killed him with one knife. He doesn't have many bullets now, so he'll save what he can.
After about ten minutes, he searched all the places. Except for two living dead people and a lot of giant water jars, there was nothing special.
However, he also found the location of the entrance. He only needed to dig down a few meters to open it.
Chen Xing rested for a while, ate something, and then started digging.
"Shashasha..."
In the quiet and dark underground space, the sound of scraping shovels and sand echoed, which seemed particularly permeable.
Chen Xing III was a man and had been a mercenary for more than ten years. He was used to seeing life and death. As long as there is no immediate danger, you will not be afraid.
"Kekeke..."
Half an hour later, Chen Xing dug up the ground, revealing most of the iron door. Then he twisted the lock and opened the door.
"Wow..."
The moment the iron gate opened, a large amount of soil poured down, forming a small slope. The flashlight shined inside, and there were black and white tile floors, long benches, and rows of metal lockers.
Chen Xing took a look around and saw that there was nothing inside, so he felt relieved and slid inwards along the slope.
"Wow!" The moment he entered the door, Chen Xing suddenly felt wind in the back of his head and hurriedly rolled forward. Then he pulled out his pistol and shot continuously at the living corpse hiding behind the door.
"Bang bang bang bang bang!"
Chen Xing was so frightened that he fired bullets for free until the living corpse fell to the ground.
"Huh..." He wiped the cold sweat with his sleeve and exhaled. There are only a few bullets left, and there are dangers everywhere, so we can no longer explore.
However, now that we have arrived at the dressing room, let’s see what we gain first.
"Kakaka..."
He walked over to a row of lockers, pulled at them, and found they were all locked. I had to pick up a shovel and smash and pry.
"Bang bang bang!"
The huge sound echoed in the small space, making people feel terrified, for fear of disturbing the monster hiding in the dark.
"Crack!"
After a few smashes, the locker came loose. When Chen Xing pulled it, a lot of stuff fell out. There are magazines with beautiful women on the cover that fall apart when touched, and various rusty small objects, such as gloves, knives, lighters and so on.
After looking through it for a while, there was nothing valuable. Disappointed, Chen Xing pried open the second cabinet.
As soon as the cabinet door opened, Chen Xing's eyes suddenly lit up. In addition to a few rotten camouflage uniforms, there was something wrapped in black oilcloth.
This time I made a fortune. The thing wrapped in this oilcloth could only be one thing - a gun!
He quickly took out the package. The rope on the outside broke when touched, and the oilcloth on the outside fell off automatically. But after wrapping it several times, nothing inside was rotten.
As the oilcloth was peeled off layer by layer, the strong smell of diesel came out. Gradually, a shiny black Uzi submachine gun was revealed, along with three boxes of bullets.
Chen Xing was immediately ecstatic. He took it out and tried it. At least it seemed to be in good condition. Then, he opened all the cabinets, but found no more firearms. Instead, he found a gold brooch and a diamond ring. The diamond was sparkling and very beautiful, at least half a carat in size.
After the search, he didn't dare to open the door of the locker room because there were not many bullets left. The Uzi submachine gun he had just received had not been tried yet, and the bullets had been stored for who knows how many years. God knows whether it could still be used.
We have already gained something, so we won’t take risks for the time being.
Thinking this way, he returned to the sedimentation room and climbed up along the rope. Then cover the hole with tent cloth, cover it with soil, and remove the traces. After everything was settled, I got on my motorcycle and headed to Orchid Town.
