Chapter 592: Railroads and Workers

Chapter 585 The Railroad and the Workers

Gently knocking on the railroad tracks and pipes, through the sound, Hareide can determine where normal where there is a problem, so it takes less time and is more efficient, otherwise it is just a worker’s where his salary can support a large family.

Watering and fertilizing the lantern grass, replacing the fragile parts, everything was in order, and soon came to the first emergency shelter.

Dungeon design and construction of many emergency shelters, all over the place, some remote although never used, but regular maintenance is still to do, really wait until the time to use to maintain, do not know how many people will die because of this, so no one dares to be sloppy in this regard.

Not to mention that very often, the emergency shelter is also their railroad workers in danger when the shelter, even for their own lives, no one is willing to be lazy in this area.

Hareide gripped the steering wheel-like door handle, and after turning it once, the sealed door opened, and then the backup power supply inside the shelter was also activated, and the lights that lit up smoothly proved that their efforts had not been in vain.

Both men were skilled laborers, dividing their time between them to check that the equipment was functioning properly and that the emergency reserves were intact.

“Damn, something’s invading!” Peter’s urgent yell of curses caused Hareed, who was lubricating the bearings, to immediately drop the tool in his hand, and with his revolver drawn, he walked quickly over to take his turn with Peter.

On the wall on the side of the water purification workroom, a large hole was broken open in the thick concrete wall, and Peter was pointing his gun at the opening while looking left and right warily, his forehead sweating because he didn’t know where the intruder was either.

Underground creatures invasion is nothing new to the dungeon, most of the invading creatures are weak, and are quickly resolved by the dungeon’s immune system Vipers and Slimes, not even the dregs are left, and the strong ones can’t escape from the hunting team made up of T600s.

But the dungeon is so large, it is inevitable that there are fish in the net, especially in the underground transportation network which is not crowded on weekdays.

Hareid and Peter hate to encounter the most unexpected situation is to encounter the intruder, because carelessness is really will die.

Hareide’s face was gloomy as he compared the size of the hole and checked if there were any hairs and scales left behind, and finally found a short black hair.

“It’s a black-backed ratman.” Hareide’s face was a bit ugly, it wasn’t the first time he encountered a black-backed ratman, he even had a worker who was killed or injured in the hands of a black-backed ratman, and as for the news he had heard about it, it was even more, so he immediately became nervous.

The black-backed rat people originally lived in the underground ruins of Green Shade City, then they were driven out and multiplied rapidly in the Devil’s Horn Forest, and right now they had already proliferated into the underground city, becoming a pest.

Just the large number, can still endure, but the claws and teeth of the black-backed rat people are very sharp, that is to say, they are very good at making holes, also can cause more damage, and have wisdom, like group action, that is to say, when you see a black-backed rat people, the darkness has already hidden ten times a hundred times the number of black-backed rat people.

“Good luck, just a few scouts, bad luck, we’ll be accounted for here today.” Hareid took a deep breath, gripped his pistol tightly, and tried to get as close as possible to Peter, because all dark and narrow places could harbor black-backed ratmen.

The two men were no longer in the mood to continue working, nor was there any need to, the most important thing now was to return to the station as fast as possible to report this matter, so that the hunting team could come and clean up these black-backed ratmen that had strayed in.

But the black-backed rat people are not animals that only rely on instinct, they also have intelligence, and have dealt with the territory a long time ago, even if the rat people’s lifespan is short, it is already an unknown number of generations ago, it is still passed down in the form of stories, so when they saw that the two people of Hareide wanted to leave, they immediately jumped out to stop them. Three adult black-backed ratmen slowly came out from the shadows and corners, they wore simple leather armor and still held weapons, clearly out of the range of the beasts.

All the residents of the territory have received combat training, from one-handed axe, spear, shield, fire rope gun, to the current firearms have contact with, and know how to use, especially the railroad workers who often go deep into the no man’s land, but also a box of bullets are issued every month by a professional soldier to guide the shooting, so the black-backed rat people have just appeared, Hareid did not hesitate to immediately right-handed raise the gun, the left hand quickly toggle the hammer, in one breath, will be six rounds of bullets All six bullets were fired in one breath.

Nearly sealed environment to shoot, it is simply to their own torture, humans can still barely tolerate, the ratman with sharper senses was almost scared to stiffness, killed two on the spot, the other just want to escape, was prepared for Peter with a shotgun to smash.

But it is true that there are more than just these three black-backed ratmen, the aftermath of the sound of the gun for the disappearance of the smoke is still filling the air, from the corner of the two ratmen scurried out, and it is close to the ground rolled over, like a frightened watermelon worms, the body rolled up into a ball, fast rolling up.

Black back ratman’s back fur is very tough, only need to go through a simple treatment can be used as leather armor, coupled with the constant rolling, it is difficult to shoot the vitals, so the two Hareide coincidentally chose to fight in close combat.

Peter’s shotgun has long been inserted under the bayonet, although the shotgun hanging bayonet seems awkward, but as long as it is useful on the line.

Hareide does not have a bayonet, but he has a wrench, four or five pounds of large wrench, smashed in the skull, on the spot can lift the ceiling to you.

Slightly distressed, the two men got into an overhaul vehicle, turned the power up to maximum, and didn’t breathe a sigh of relief until they saw the overhaul station.

Similar incidents occur from time to time, the station manager first let people send them to the treatment, and then reported, as for the two people’s treatment costs and subsidies, as long as it is confirmed that the black-backed rats invasion, these are not a matter of fact, otherwise the workers that will be so desperate.

Not long after, two steam armored vehicles arrived, from which came down sixteen black painted T600s, also holding scary looking small caliber Gatling machine guns and carrying heavy ammunition boxes.

Seeing these metal skeleton faces, the station chief breathed a sigh of relief, these metal puppets were real killing machines, as long as the ammo didn’t run out, even more black-backed ratmen wouldn’t be a problem.

According to the instruction manual, the station chief gave more precise orders to the sixteen T600s, next these metal machines would follow the passageway towards the two sides for a patrol type cleanup, taking out some pests.

In fact, similar cleanups were conducted every so often, except that no one could guarantee that there would be accidents during the intervals, such as this one.

After receiving the order, the T600 split into two groups, advancing towards both directions of the platform.

The T600’s intelligence was not as good as the T800’s, but simple operation of a steam car was still no problem, and the darkness could not hinder them at all, and the sound collector would not miss the slightest movement, so just a short distance away, the Gatling’s characteristic tearing sound was intermittently and constantly ringing, and there was no telling which mouse was unlucky enough to have been mistakenly shot.

The T600 is good at everything, cheap, fast, and has enough firepower, but it’s hard to improve its intelligence, and it’s easy to fall into traps and be targeted, leading to the fact that it can’t be used alone at all, so it can only be used to carry out some simple tasks.
