Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 45: Dog and Dog Legs

Perhaps because of the obstruction of the courtyard wall, the weeds in this small building grow much more vigorously than those outside.

The weeds were green with yellow, half a person's height tall, forming a barrier between the courtyard gate and the small building.

Lu Xian and Yao Wei pushed aside the weeds and walked through. When they reached the steps in front of the building, they looked back and saw that the weeds they had pushed aside had returned to their original positions without being affected at all.

"Do you think there are any insects or snakes in here?"

Lu Xian asked.

Yao Wei shook her head: "I don't know." She was not the weak little girls in her previous life. As tough as she was, she would not show the slightest fear because of the insects and snakes that might exist in the weeds.

On the contrary, after Lu Xian said, "It would be nice if there were insects or something like that. They are rich in protein and very nutritious," the woman became even more excited and looked carefully into the weeds, as if intending to find some insects to eat from the weeds.

Lu Xian couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't look for it. When we are at the end of our rope, we can find bugs to eat. Now we have rice, vegetables, bread and compressed biscuits. There is no need to eat bugs."

Yao Wei was a little puzzled: "If we find food, shouldn't we store as much as possible?"

Lu Xian said: "Insects are not considered as stored food."

"Oh."

Yao Wei felt it was a pity. She finally knew about a new kind of food, but she couldn't collect and store it. She looked at the weeds all over the ground and felt very uncomfortable when she thought about the many foods that might exist in the weeds.

But as she watched, she was suddenly stunned.

"what happened?"

Lu Xian asked.

"Look there."

Yao Wei pointed to an area near the west wall. The weeds there were much lower than elsewhere. However, the weeds from the east, south, and north sides had covered the area, making it impossible to see unless you looked closely.

Lu Xian didn't notice the difference at first, but when Yao Wei pointed it out, he noticed it.

He and Yao Wei looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts. They pushed aside the grass and walked towards the west wall of the small building.

When we reached the base of the west wall, we looked carefully and found that there was indeed a rectangular area with slightly lower weeds, which was more neat than other places.

You have to get close to see it. If you are too far away and not paying attention, you won’t be able to see it at all.

"Dog."

Lu Xian called out and asked the mechanical dog to come over.

In this wasteland, the dog's wheels are of no use, and it can only sway as it moves through the weeds that are much taller than it.

Lu Xian simply walked over and picked up the dog, and instructed: "Check here, is there any problem?"

The dog then used its eyes to scan the place that seemed a little strange, and then a light lit up in its eyes. It lifted the wheel and lowered its paws again.

It was held in Lu Xian's hand, and the dog's paws were raised and lowered in vain, which looked a little funny.

However funny it is, it has already served its purpose.

Lu Xian saw the light in its dog's eyes sweeping over a corner, and as if realizing something, he pushed aside the weeds and lowered his head to check, and indeed, he found the problem -

There were square bricks on the ground, and weeds were sprouting from the cracks between them. Because of years of wild growth, the bricks were broken and uneven, like endless mountains.

But when the "mountains" reached the point where the dog-eye light pointed, and we walked further in, they suddenly became much more orderly.

The texture and color of the square bricks seemed to be the same as the others, but the gaps between the bricks were much smaller, and there were fewer cracks caused by weed growth.

"Yao Wei, give me a knife."

Lu Xian squatted on the ground without getting up, just raised his hands.

Yao Wei immediately took out a knife she carried with her and handed it to Lu Xian. After Lu Xian took the knife, he inserted it into the crack of the brick where the dog's eye was pointing, and easily pried the brick up.

The brick brought up a large piece of soil, which was still attached to the grass.

Lu Xian pulled out the grass again, bringing up another large piece of soil. He poked the knife downwards, and the soil buried most of the knife. Then he heard a "ding" sound, and the tip of the knife hit something hard.

really……

Lu Xian's heart moved, and he used the knife to rotate and poke, back and forth several times, and pushed the whole piece of soil away, and the things underneath were finally revealed -

A rusty iron plate that looks quite thick.

"There should be a basement here."

Lu Xian looked at Yao Wei and laughed, "You are amazing. You actually found this place."

Yao Wei said, "You're really good. If you hadn't mentioned the bugs, the dog would have been the only one who could have found them."

She assumed that they would definitely find this place because of the dog.

Lu Xian didn't say any more nonsense. He dug the soil again to make it easier to work horizontally, then pushed the knife to cut along the parallel line of the west wall.

The iron plate is so thick, it must have a handle, otherwise how can you pull it up?
Even if it is electric, there should be a spare handle to prevent problems with the electronic control system.

He rowed and planed, but soon encountered an obstacle.

It seems that the handle of the iron plate is not recessed or has a mechanical device.

Lu Xian dug along the obstruction, dug up the soil and pulled out the grass, and saw a square handle with a slightly curved corner welded to the iron plate.

He handed the knife back to Yao Wei, pulled out all the grass on the iron plate, picked up a lot of bricks, and then threw them away one by one.

Then, he grabbed the handle on the iron plate and pulled it hard, feeling a little tired.

With more force, the edge of the iron plate finally loosened, and the soil on it shook, and Lu Xian lifted up a corner of it.

As a result, the cracks on the edge of the iron plate were instantly shaken open, and the entire shape was revealed. It was a rectangle at least two meters long and more than one meter wide, and the thickness of the iron door was at least three centimeters.

The remaining bricks on the iron gate became loose, and dirt and weeds were scattered all over the place.

Lu Xian cleaned it up, revealing another handle. He handed the dog to Yao Wei again, grabbed the handle with both hands, and pulled hard.

The power of the new human was revealed again. With great strength, miracles were achieved and the door was pulled up alive by him.

"Zi-"

A teeth-grinding sound followed.

Only after the entire iron gate was lifted up did Lu Xian and Yao Wei see clearly that there was indeed a controllable metal rod supporting the iron gate. They didn't know whether it was a hydraulic rod or a pneumatic rod.

But no matter what it was, it had lost its effect at this point. Instead, because of the connection between the metal rods on both sides, Lu Xian had to waste a lot of effort.

If it weren't for the poles on both sides, Lu Xian would have easily lifted the iron gate.

There is a wooden door under the iron door.

Lu Xian opened it, and a damp and gloomy smell hit him in the face.

"Dog."

Lu Xian's instructions only required two words, and Gouzi understood what he meant. He first asked the drone to go down to check, and then went down himself. After confirming that there was no problem, he signaled Lu Xian and Yao Wei.

This dog also has his own legs. He doesn't even have to do the most dangerous work himself. He can just send a drone.
