Chapter 591: Life in the Dungeon

Chapter 584 – Life in the Underground City
This bottom card Owen hid it very well, and never used it since a certain period of time, not to mention the people in the territory, even he had almost forgotten about it.

In the case of no money in his pocket can only rummage through the small treasury, remembering the place to hide private money Owen transformed himself into a state of psychic energy, and then virtualization deep into the dungeon.

Nowadays, the underground city can already afford the word “city”, not to mention the huge network of underground passages that runs through the entire Northland in all directions, just the population living here is more than 100,000 people.

They worked, lived, and even reproduced their offspring here, and had begun to differ from the humans on the surface, which made Owen feel somewhat novel.

Migrating to the underground city was not forced, although those who entered in the early days were the loyal and reliable system-transformed population who worked hard, but as it continued to grow, some of the unconverted population who had gone through strict scrutiny were also allowed to enter the underground city.

With the gradual increase in population, the living conditions that were originally just for survival were also improving to meet more needs, which allowed the dungeons to begin to get rid of their original limitations and develop towards a more perfect city.

As the founder of the Dungeon, Owen who witnessed this scene rarely slowed down his steps and began to appreciate the scenery of the Dungeon today.

Incarnation of psychic form walking in the space sandwich Owen invisible, untouchable, from the beginning no one knew that the owner of the territory to patrol his city, which also allows him to see the most real side of this city.

Underground transportation system is the biggest and most spectacular construction in the underground city, the underground passageway which is enough to accommodate two trains in parallel is using the north city as the transportation hub, connecting many important places in the north, from the border in the south to the mountain range in the north, from the forest in the east to the sea in the west, it is just like an artery for transporting nutrients to the north, connecting the north to the same place.

In addition to transporting supplies, the hidden and safe underground transportation network also serves as an important back-up capacity in times of emergency, so the Underground Transportation Department alone has tens of thousands of staff members just to maintain the smooth operation of this huge underground transportation network.

Hareid kissed his wife goodbye and walked out of the house with his still warm lunch box.

As a skilled laborer with a short working life, Hareid’s income is not bad, so the conditions of the community where he lives are not bad, all of them are two-storey residential houses with single houses and courtyards, and every day the lantern grass on both sides of the road will illuminate the road, and the sunflowers on the lawn of every house provide sufficient lighting for the growth of private gardens and adjust the brightness, so that people live in more peace of mind.

Although it was nighttime on the surface, the place was still bustling with activity, there were quite a few people walking around with magical creatures suitable for breeding, and energetic children running around with toys, which made Hareid have to be careful that his lunchbox didn’t get knocked over by these rambunctious brats.

It wasn’t until he got on a curb-side steam bus that Hareid lowered his hand to protect his lunchbox, then said hello to someone he knew well.

Finding an empty seat and sitting down, over the slight rhythmic swaying, Hareid chatted with his fellow workers about the latest news, mainly some changes in the ground, after all, the big changeover meant expanding production and transportation, and as a railroader he couldn’t have been more sensitive to that.

Soon enough Hareid arrived at the station where he worked, saying goodbye to his acquaintances before heading to the stationmaster to clock in and sign in, and then to pick up his gear.

This is not a station for goods, but just a normal maintenance station, so there are not many people, and Hareid’s job is to ride with his fellow workers in the monorail maintenance car, checking the railroad tracks and pipeline lines along the way, until they reach the next station and return from the other side.

Since it was an eight or nine hour round trip, it was necessary to take food with you.

The job was monotonous, but very demanding, so the income was good, and Hareide, who had been working for ten years or so, had no intention of changing jobs, as his third child had just been born, and he now needed stability, not adventure.

“Hi Peter.” Hedred greeted his partner who was picking up his gear.

“Another love meal, how enviable.” Peter snickered when he saw the lunch box in Hedare’s hand. “If you’re willing to lower the bar a bit, I’m afraid a second child has been born, let alone a love meal.” Hedry said as he shrugged his shoulders at Peter.

“I’d rather have a work meal then.” Peter said shaking the greasy paper bag in his hand.

The station provided a free dry ration every day, but this portable ration was pure starch with a little oil and salt and dried vegetables, which was fine at first, but over time it was torture, especially when going to the toilet, when you couldn’t wait to get a tool through the pipes.

Haiderui heart palpitating look at the dry food a glance, hastily move away from the gaze.

When his first child was born, because he was still a trainee worker, so his salary was not high, in order to maintain his livelihood, he ate dry food for a whole year, and even took what his fellow workers did not want, and ate it three times a day, resulting in a feeling of a clogged stomach as soon as he saw the square-shaped oil paper packets until now.

Two people each receive a hard shell armor, this magical plant armor processed into a half body armor is very lightweight, although the defense is a little worse, but for them, these railroad workers is already enough.

Then Hedare took a revolver, and Peter took a double-barreled shotgun, which was also a necessary tool.

After handing over to the previous shift, Hedley picked up the checklist, calculated what needed to be repaired by their group, signed for some common parts, and then went to the monorail maintenance car to fill up with fuel and water.

The monorail is not just a frame with one wheel, it is in fact a small steam car, about the size of a roller coaster, able to ride four people, very small, but fixed on a track can not turn the direction, can only go forward or backward.

This is to prevent the steam car deviated from the direction caused by accidents, after all, next to the railroad, once the accident, not dead so simple.

Carrying enough fuel, after filling the water tank, the two checked the car’s condition, after all, if it breaks down in the middle of the road, the two can only rely on lifting and pressing the teeter-totter like lever manpower to drive the car forward, even if it can come back, it will also be tired and half dead.

After doing all the checks, put the collected parts in the trunk, the two started the steam car, with the sound of the whistle, the overhaul car towards the depths of the dimly lit tunnel.

This railroad wasn’t busy, so the only sound in their ears was the sound of the steam car making a whimpering noise, which had a drowsy feel to it after hearing it for a long time.

But both dare not be careless, the underground city is safe, but after all, in the underground, occasionally there will be some vicious underground creatures by mistake, when they will rely on the hand of the gun to protect themselves.

Fortunately, every hundred meters in the tunnel there is a pot of lantern grass, which is their favorite creatures of these railroad workers, so every time they come to help water and fertilize, as long as the care is good, the light emitted will also be brighter.

While watering, Hareid also saw a few poisonous snakes, but he was used to that.

There are many snakes and slimes in the dungeon, but even children are not afraid of them, as they have long been a part of life.

Such a huge dungeon, there are always places that can’t be taken care of, these remote and narrow places rely on these little guys to maintain, such as eating the rats and bugs that like to gnaw, cleaning up the moss that grows in the humid corners, prolonging the life of the equipment, avoiding environmental degradation, as the earliest residents of the dungeon, they are very important.
