I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

Chapter 272 Ancient Ruins Mushroom Flood

It was the orcs' indiscriminate and brutal killing that shattered the Elias people's three views, and Spartacus's practice of liberating slaves and overthrowing slavery was carried out more easily than ever before.

Now, in the team of survivors led by Spartacus, there is no distinction between nobles, civilians and slaves, only gender distinction between men and women, and occupational distinction between warriors and farmers.

Under the greenskins' death threat, people silently accepted the new rules set by Spartacus.

After the execution of several nobles who were complaining, these diehard slave owners stopped complaining and started to work hard to earn their own living.

Spartacus relied on his strong personal charm, excellent command ability, and the ability to turn the tide many times, thus establishing absolute authority in the army.

It received enthusiastic support from all the soldiers.

The survivors, especially the warriors, believed that Spartacus was the only one who could lead them to survive the green frenzy.

The others were also aware of this, and even if they had complaints about Spartacus, they dared not express them.

The sound of an explosion came from not far behind.

The sound came from a few kilometers away.

Spartacus's face darkened and he ordered, "Speed ​​up!"

He could tell from the sound that the minefield he had set up behind him had been detonated, and it seemed that the pursuers were approaching.

Not long ago, they encountered a mopping-up orc mobile force. Spartacus injured their leader, and since then, this force has been chasing them closely.

It seems that the orc boss was annoyed by Spartacus.

Jiaozhazha wants to take Spartacus' head as a trophy.

Urged on by the soldiers, the group sped up their pace.

Finally, after leaving behind more than a dozen corpses of the old, weak and sick, they rushed to the secret cave discovered by Spartacus.

Everyone has left the dense forest and stepped into the snow line of glaciers and snow.

Although preparations had been made in advance, the biting cold and temperatures of more than ten degrees below zero still made many people shiver.

People looked up ahead and saw majestic white mountains rising and falling as if there was no end in sight.

There were clouds and winds on the top of the mountain, blizzards were raging, thunder was flashing, and it looked like the end of the world.

Is there really a shelter here?

Everyone couldn't help but doubt.

No matter how you look at it, this is not a place where humans can survive.

When Spartacus said there was a hidden shelter here, everyone subconsciously did not believe it.

But because of the prestige he had built up during this period, after careful consideration, everyone still chose to believe in him and continue to follow him.

"Light the torches and lanterns, and everyone form two lines and follow me into the cave."

Spartacus took the lead and walked in front of the team.

Soldiers were dispersed among the troops, maintaining order and being cautious.

Everyone walked into the cave with trepidation.

The path was narrow at first, but became wider as they walked along. They encountered no danger and it gradually became warmer, and everyone gradually felt at ease.

After twists and turns, a wide underground cave appeared in front of everyone.

Even without the aid of lights, the survivors could clearly see the huge flashing creations deep in the cave.

Inside this cave, there was a huge steel wall. There were lights flashing in front of it, and there were glowing patterns and unknown words.

One can vaguely feel that this huge wall is just a corner of something huge buried inside the mountain that was revealed by chance.

Led by Spartacus, everyone walked into the giant steel wall with awe. At the bottom of the wall, there was something like a portal.

While people were still in doubt, Spartacus walked up carelessly and placed his hand directly on the glowing mirror next to the portal.

A blue light swept across, and to everyone's astonishment, the iron door opened just like that.

The surrounding soldiers stared at Spartacus in amazement.

"Chief, this..."

Spartacus shook his head. "Everyone go in first, and we can talk about other issues later."

Everyone stepped through the door with joy but also uneasiness.

Walking through the brightly lit corridor behind the door, I discovered that behind the door was a criss-crossing structure similar to that of an underground city.

Corridors and stairs connect a large number of rooms and halls to form a multi-story structure. Many rooms look like bedrooms, with beds and other furniture, and they look like shelters specially prepared for humans.

"This is the remains left by ancient humans..."

Spartacus explained to everyone.

He did not say that he discovered this place by accident. He said that one day when he was a child he met a godly old man who guided him to discover this place.

And told him that if Elias encountered a crisis one day, he could bring people here for refuge.

In critical moments, Spartacus needs a little white lie to help him consolidate his leadership.

Just as he expected, everyone became solemn after hearing his words, and they respected and admired him even more, and had no objection to his orders.

Accommodation was assigned to everyone, sacred objects (high-tech weapons) left by ancient humans were distributed to the soldiers, and trusted confidants were ordered to guard important places such as the control room, armory, and energy room.

Spartacus led his men to blow up the passage leading to the ruins, completely sealing the entrance.

Next, they will hide in this self-sufficient ancient ruins for a while until the outside world stabilizes and then return to the ground.

Of course, it is also very likely that they can only live underground forever like moles.

What if those green monsters continued to occupy the surface of the earth from now on.

“Life was so good for the ancients!”

Living in clean and tidy rooms equipped with bathrooms, running water and air conditioning, everyone marveled at the wonderful life of ancient humans and lived more comfortably than noble lords.

"I feel so uncomfortable. I want to take a shower!"

The first thing the survivors did when they moved into the shelter was to take a hot shower to clean the dirt and blood on their bodies.

They hadn't been able to take a shower for several days and felt terribly uncomfortable.

"Hey, it's so dirty. It's moldy."

The woman rubbed the green dirt off her clothes with disgust. As the water washed away, a large amount of dirt entered the sewer and eventually fell into the huge purification pool at the bottom of the shelter.

Soon the only sound in the room was the rushing water.

No one noticed that some green, mold-like substance stuck to the soles of the survivors' shoes, clothes, and luggage, following them into the shelter.

Everyone was busy adapting to life in the shelter, learning to use the equipment inside, and taking over guard and production work.

As the leader, Spartacus was extremely busy, personally leading a few old scholars who could barely read ancient characters to decipher the information in the base.

They were able to enter here because the base recognized their human citizenship, but they did not have permission to use many core areas and functions.

To take root here, we must crack the control of the base.

A few days later, the person in charge of cleaning felt something was wrong.

"Hey, why are there so many mushrooms growing in the hall?"

The cleaner muttered in confusion, but still picked up his tools and shoveled away the colorful mushrooms and the sticky, moss-like fungal mat that had grown in the corner at some point in time.

Throw it into the garbage collection system.

However the next day.

"Fuck! Why did it grow again?!"

The cleaner cursed and was very unhappy.

Overnight, the mushrooms that had just been dug up grew back in larger numbers and sizes.

Many residents reported that mushrooms had appeared in large numbers in various locations across the base, and there were signs that the growth was abnormally out of control.

The report was passed back to Spartacus. He had just finished reading it and had no time to give any instructions when one of his men rushed in in a panic to report.

"Oh no, Chief, the water purification system has malfunctioned!"
