Meanwhile, back in the outpost.

Seeing that the administrator of Shelter 404 went out for a long time and didn’t come back, Hyrja, who was restless, walked out of the reception room.

When she walked to the entrance of the main building of the nursing home, the passing-by players who happened to see her suddenly showed the shocked expression as if discovering a new continent.

"White hair!"

"Holy shit! Can you customize the color of your hair in this game?"

"Why didn’t anyone tell me?!"

"Bis sis, Big sis! What’s your name?"

Hyrja looked blank, not understanding what the shelterers were saying.

More and more players started to gather around her, and soon it was discovered that although she was wearing a blue coat, she was not a player.

If her confused expression was faked, then her acting was really good!

"She doesn’t seem to understand our nonsense..."

"She doesn’t look very smart… Is she a new NPC?"

"But she’s wearing a blue coat..."

"What’s so strange about this, it’s not only players who wear blue coats, there are also a few in Shelter 117? It’s just that we don’t seem to have encountered people from other shelters before."

Everyone agreed with what was said.

Indeed, the game did not say that blue coats were unique to players, but the roles played by players were the residents of a shelter.

At this moment, a player who was on a mission at Shelter 117 just now approached. "I know who she is! She’s an NPC picked up by Yaya and Teng Teng! She was in the hidden room of Shelter 117!"

Hearing this sentence, the surrounding crowd suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"What the heck?! The hidden room has been found?!"

"And it was Boss Ya who found it?!"

"Damn it, it’s unfair! I almost scraped off the wall, but I couldn’t find it!"

"I have a question. Is it because there are mushrooms growing in the room?"

"You people, don’t underestimate Boss Ya. She is the first player who was killed by the monster and triggered the punishment mission in the entire server, alright."

"I don’t care about the hidden room, I just want to know where to find the same white-haired NPC?"

"Me too!"

Surrounded by these hospitable shelter residents, the dazed expression on Hyrja’s face gradually turned into confusion, and from confusion to fear. She was at a loss for what to do.

At this time, someone wearing an exoframe came over from the direction of the south gate along with a loud voice amplified by the speaker. "Disperse immediately, don’t scare her."

"Also, this is the new doctor of bioengineering from our shelter. She will officially start to work tomorrow… Miss Hyrja, please come with me."

Hyrja nodded quickly and hid behind Chu Guang.

After using a yellow card to warn a few excited players, Chu Guang took her to the elevator and pressed the down button.

Looking at the closed elevator door, Hyrja finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with lingering fear, "Are they all residents of Shelter 404?"

After lifting up the visor, Chu Guang stretched his neck and said casually.

"My players are a little enthusiastic, please don’t mind them... By the way, a player refers to residents, especially the residents of our shelter."

"Why can’t I understand what they were saying? Your people don’t speak the Federation of People’s language?"

It was also the same when she was in the emergency room before.

Hyrja couldn’t understand what the two ladies who had woken her up from the nurturing cabin were saying.

However, Chu Guang did not intend to discuss this issue with her in depth.

"The Federation of People has disappeared for more than 200 years. Is it strange that other languages have evolved? But I can speak both languages, so don’t worry."

Hyrja silently recited the strange pronunciation several times and silently memorized the word.

Leaving the exoframe in the preparation room, Chu Guang took her through the two gates of the airlock room and went straight to level B2, where there were still a hundred empty rooms in Zone B.

After finding a room, Chu Guang assigned permissions to her VM, and then said to her, "This will be your new home from now on. Instructions for using the facility and the 404 Shelter Resident Handbook will be sent to your VM. From tomorrow onwards, you’re a bioengineering expert, and I’ll set you up with something to do."

Hyrja glanced inside the room and saw that there was only a single bed and a table, and it was smaller than the confinement room of Shelter 117.

"Your room... It’s so compact, have you always lived in this kind of place?"

It was not the first time that Chu Guang heard someone complain about how poor his shelterer was, so he didn’t take it to heart at all.

"Yes, but our spiritual world is very rich. Those players...

mhm

, they will go to other places when they sleep."

"In the early days of entrepreneurship, the conditions were tough, but it will get better in the future. I hope you can overcome it."

What is entrepreneurship?

Even though she had only slept for twenty years, Hyrja felt as if thousands of years had passed.

Is the generation gap between shelters so big?

Why are there so many words and concepts that I don’t understand...

After settling in Hyrja, Chu Guang returned to the central lobby.

Just when he was about to go to the newly unlocked level B3 to see what the first administrator had left for him, he found that Xia Yan was holding Little Seven waiting at the elevator door.

Seeing Chu Guang, Little Seven shouted from a distance, "Master!"

Chu Guang glanced at Xia Yan and Little Seven in her arms, and asked with a strange expression.

"Why did you bring Little Seven down?"

"It asked me to take it down... By the way, who is that woman with white hair?" Putting Little Seven on the ground, Xia Yan took a peek behind Chu Guang and found that the person was no longer there.

Chu Guang said casually. "She’s a resident of Shelter 117, she’s the only one left there, and my players brought her back."

"Oh." Xia Yan nodded in understanding, and whispered with a slightly hesitant expression, "But... is it really good to let her live here? Maybe she is a bad person."

Chu Guang said with a smile, "Don’t worry, Little Seven will keep an eye on her 24 hours a day. If there is anything unusual, I will know as soon as possible."

Little Seven hummed helplessly, "Although it’s true, Little Seven still doesn’t recommend that master bring in some people of unknown origin; especially the guy whose right hand is a machine, I always feel the way he looks at me is scary."

Hmmmm?! There’s actually such a thing?!

"It’s precisely because I don’t trust them that I have to keep them close... Is the guy with the machine in his right hand Yin Fang? I’ll ask him to restrain himself." After a pause, Chu Guang continued, "Let’s not talk about this, I still have something to deal with. Since you are here too, let’s do it together."

Xia Yan was stunned. "Together? Do what together..."

The corner of Chu Guang’s mouth curled into a faint smile. "Go and see level B3 with me."

As he said that, he walked into the elevator, swiped his index finger on the touch screen lightly, and soon the words ‘Level B3 authorization’ appeared on it.

Little Seven, who was following Chu Guang, made a surprise buzz. "Wow, master, you have obtained the permission of level B3 already?"

Chu Guang nodded. "Mhm, I just got it."

The elevator door closed and began to descend.

When the door was opened again, dry and fresh air rushed in, just like when Chu Guang first stepped into level B2.

"It always feels like this place has just been cleaned..." Xia Yan glanced around, followed in Chu Guang’s footsteps, and walked out of the elevator.

The layout here was almost carved out of the same mold as level B2. Whether it was the 4 fan-shaped partitions distributed in a ring and the elevator tower in the center of the square, or the total of 600 rooms, as well as the public canteen and sanitary facilities in Zone A.

Even the corridor sandwiched between Zone A and Zone B was exactly the same!

Chu Guang’s eyes fell on the corridor. And as if he suddenly thought of something, he looked at the floor plan printed next to the elevator.

As could be seen from the floor plan, behind the corridor was a rectangular space and four rectangular areas of different sizes divided by partitions.

It appeared to be the functional area of the shelter.

"Power room, planting area, medical laboratory, warehouse... and airlock room? Wait, why is there an airlock room behind the warehouse?" A hint of surprise appeared on Chu Guang’s face.

The airlock room was a special structure used to balance the air pressure inside and outside the shelter. It included two gates and a corridor with an air shower function, which could remove dust and most harmful substances from clothes, and could spray acid to disinfect if necessary.

This kind of facility was generally located at the entrance of a shelter, but now it appeared on level B3?

Little Seven, who was next to Chu Guang, raised the camera, its voice was also full of doubts. "Maybe… Shelter 404 has more than one entrance?"

Chu Guang stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then nodded lightly. "This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Xia Yan looked at him and said slightly nervously. "Should we check it?"

"Of course, otherwise why do you think we are here?"

Before that, though, Chu Guang had something else to do.

After saying that, Chu Guang opened the VM on his arm and retrieved the pre-edited document.

Upload is complete!

After finishing that, Chu Guang looked at Little Seven. "Little Seven, sync to the official website."

The signal light above its head flickered slightly, Little Seven said energetically. "Okay, Master!"

Then two people and one machine walked towards the depths of the B3 floor.

At almost the same time, the official website of Wasteland Online, located in another world, immediately exploded with excitement with the release of the update announcement!
