Chapter 102: Building the Escape Passage, Mudiz Water-Jet Turtle and Green-Fuzz Seaweed
Yu Yuan returned to the shelter and first thing he did was place the door to the Map Room — the one taken from Fries’ safe house — against the wall adjacent to the warehouse door, then opened the Facility Management Log for the shelter.
He took out the Escape Key and inserted it into the lock on the door.
— [Escape Passage] construction.
The next moment, the door pressed against the wall and the wall itself seemed to melt together, beginning to merge. The door slowly embedded into the wall and then fixed in place.
In just a few seconds, the [Escape Passage] icon lit up on the Virtual Light Screen.
It was already built.
Yu Yuan turned the Escape Key, pulled and pushed the door open, and a surprising scene appeared before him.
With the door as the boundary, one side led to the shelter in the sewer, while the other side opened onto the Starry Sky Observatory at the top of the Financial Center Tower.
Yu Yuan stepped into the observatory, stood at the edge of the platform, and looked at the Black Shield Police Department in District 1, whose lights still glowed. The delight in his eyes was beyond words.
Turning back to look at the shelter behind the door, he realized he now had a thoroughly reliable card to play for survival.And the way he returned to the shelter was no longer limited to the city sewers.
This Starry Sky Observatory would be his second entry and exit point.
“Three burrows for a wily rabbit! Now I finally have the first burrow too!”
Back in the shelter, Yu Yuan closed the escape door and removed the Escape Key.
He walked to the security door of the shelter. Now that the Escape Passage had been built, he needed to run one more verification.
When he inserted the Escape Key into the security door’s lock and turned it, the door opened. When he saw the familiar Motel Main Guest Room on the other side,
Yu Yuan couldn’t contain his joy and laughed softly.
“I knew it! I knew a Rare Artifact couldn’t have only a single effect. These two effects can coexist.”
This had been on his mind while building the Escape Passage.
Building the Escape Passage was very important, but the other function of the Escape Key was equally crucial.
Because tonight, it was precisely the Escape Key that allowed him to avoid a potential crisis.
Back in the shelter, Yu Yuan’s gaze fell on an item listed on Taotao Hole.
— Electronic Tracker.
This was what he had found inside the container, and it had given him a cold sweat.
At the seaside, when he confirmed that the speedboat that had appeared offshore was heading toward his location, he realized the situation was wrong as soon as he fled the beach.
The container had been there for a full day; they hadn’t appeared earlier or later, yet they showed up the moment he opened the container.
There had to be something wrong with the container.
Realizing that, Yu Yuan didn’t dive into the sewer to keep running.
He couldn’t expose the sewer until he found the hidden danger.
So he thought of the Escape Key and the Motel Main Guest Room.
And as he suspected, when he entered the motel main guest room and checked the cavity in the cabinet, Yu Yuan found the Electronic Tracker.
It was the cabinet’s opening that activated the hidden tracker and drew that group to the spot.
After thoroughly checking the three alloy boxes and the cabinet and confirming there was only this one tracker,
Yu Yuan waited another hour before leaving the main guest room.
When he returned to the sewer, he was full of lingering fear.
If he hadn’t found the tracker and had brought it back to the shelter, it would have been an unmitigated disaster.
Nothing was more dangerous than the shelter being exposed.
Fortunately, the crisis was now resolved.
Yu Yuan’s mind also became more active. Looking at the Electronic Tracker listed on Taotao Hole, he had a very good idea.
He closed the light screen, took the three alloy boxes out of the Magician’s Ring.
He didn’t open the two Insulated Boxes again. Instead he pulled out the two USB drives, took his Laptop, and plugged them in.
He opened the first USB drive. Inside were two folders, named [Mudiz Water-Jet Turtle Incubation Data] and [Green-Fuzz Seaweed Growth Environment Data].
[Ding... High-value item found!]
[Found special construction path for shelter facilities. Add this path to — Facility Management Log?]
[Ding... High-value item found!]
[Found special construction path for shelter facilities. Add this path to — Facility Management Log?]
It was actually special construction paths for the shelter!
Yu Yuan opened the two folders.
The [Mudiz Water-Jet Turtle Incubation Data] folder contained sets of data and photos. The photos appeared to show a turtle nesting site on some island, and not only did they detail the structural points of the turtle nest, they recorded environment requirements clearly: temperature, humidity, sand moisture content, sand grain coarseness, aeration, and so on.
The [Green-Fuzz Seaweed Growth Environment Data] folder contained data and suggestions for cultivating the green-fuzz seaweed.
Sea salt concentration, light intensity, light cycles, light penetration, temperature, pH, water flow — all the data were recorded in clear detail.
And in the Facility Management Log for the shelter, the newly discovered construction paths were [Mudiz Water-Jet Turtle Incubation Nest] and [Green-Fuzz Seaweed Cultivation Tank].
Both of these facilities were special types and relatively difficult to build.
First, they required sufficient electrical power support. Whether incubators or cultivation tanks, they needed various instruments and lighting to affect the environment inside the units, which required the power system.
Fortunately, Yu Yuan already met that requirement. All that remained was to gather the construction materials to build these two facilities.
However, Yu Yuan was still puzzled about the so-called Mudiz Water-Jet Turtle and Green-Fuzz Seaweed.
What exactly were these things!
He plugged the second USB drive into the computer and opened its folder.
It also contained two folders, titled [Mudiz Water-Jet Turtle] and [Green-Fuzz Seaweed].
Inside each folder were several video clips.
Then Yu Yuan saw a scene that shocked him.
It was a long-range shot.
Two sea turtles the size of small cars were battling a whale in the ocean. The whale’s body was three to four times their size, but the two turtles calmly attacked the whale. When one turtle was about to be bitten by the whale as it opened its mouth to rip at the other, a jet of water like a high-pressure water gun sprayed from the turtle’s mouth.
The water stream struck the roof of the whale’s gaping mouth, pierced the skull, and shot out through the back of its head.
Blood stained the seawater, yet the two turtles finished off the whale and then leisurely swam away.
The other videos were much the same — mostly turtles killing marine creatures. The last clip showed several turtles on an island peacefully digging the nest and then laying eggs.
Until the videos ended, Yu Yuan couldn’t come to his senses.
A single sentence echoed in his mind.
— Spiritual Creatures.
