Chapter 381: Undercurrent
At this time, Feng Peng didn't realize what Chuanshu's escape meant to the military region of the North Acropolis, and even if he knew, he probably couldn't stop the military region from continuing to carry out more and more in-depth research on the spores.
This is because they have already taken the first step, and then only by continuing to walk can they see hope, otherwise, there is no turning back from the bow.
In such a situation, the rainstorm weather in the North Acropolis did not cause the military region to care, after all, in recent years, although the weather has still changed for no reason, but with the passage of time, in the past few hundred years, all animals and plants have gradually become familiar with and adapted to the transformation of the power of the light source, so even the demon beasts in the forest have no longer become so sensitive.
Better control over their own light source power, so that they will not be easily frightened and go crazy during thunderstorms because lightning stirs up the light source power.
If it weren't for the fact that there were some things like Kirito that would release water vapor and make it impossible to survive in the original place, I'm afraid that many demon beasts would be reluctant to leave the original place and eventually break into the North Acropolis, resulting in casualties.
The threat of natural disasters is gradually decreasing, but man-made disasters will not disappear with time, they will only be more hidden and more subtle.
In the darkness, two figures sat opposite each other, their eyes glowing yellow, allowing them to clearly see the surrounding objects and the people sitting across from them without the help of any lights.
"It's almost time. ”
"It's not close. ”
“…… How much longer?"
"It should be soon...... It's only two or three days."
"Then wait...... Any other good news?"
"Yes, the teacher is ready to help us!"
"Tsk, hasn't he always been against what we're doing, and why is he agreeing to it now?"
"Teachers care about us......"
“…… He can make a better move! The old dwarf in the Double Dragon Martial Arts Pavilion was just handed over to him to deal with. ”
The teacher said the same thing. ”
"What did the viper say?"
"She will cooperate with us...... It's still the same as before......"
"Hehe, this woman's heart is like the bottom of the sea, I advise you to have less contact with her!"
"I know that. ”
"If you have the chance, even she will be cleared!"
“……”
"What?
"I don't have ......"
"Then I'll take your acquiescence. Anyway, the woman is not a good thing, and it doesn't matter so much when she dies...... Then so be it! The bottom of the North Acropolis is almost touched, hurry up, don't delay any longer, lest you have too many dreams at night. ”
"Good!"
After the voice answered, the two people who were talking disappeared at some point, and there was no sound in the dark living room, and it became a dead silence.
The torrential rain outside is gradually subsiding, the cathartic dark clouds are gradually dissipating, the sky is brighter again, and the air after the rain is extremely fresh.
People who had been hiding in the house for a long time couldn't wait for the rain to stop completely, and they couldn't wait to get out of the door and start to be active.
The store was reopened, and in the midst of the people coming and going, the streets and markets were once again lively and noisy, and everything was the same as before.
The water in the wet streets pooled into a small river and flowed lower, washing the dust and sediment from the ground into the sewers.
The accumulation of sediment becomes sludge, like a raging undercurrent brewing beneath the city, and when it reaches its limit, it will clog the sewers and flood the city in one eruption.
All this, in fact, has been foreshadowed for a long time, some people have noticed, some people have not noticed, some people have avoided it, and some people have secretly chosen to go along with it.
But no matter what, for Rob, who is hundreds of kilometers away, all this is unknown.
Because when he first arrived in Nanshan City, Cheng Shanjun did not say that he would directly lead Luo Bu to visit and play in the city, but first led a few people directly to his home and settled down first.
As the son-in-law of the Mo family, Cheng Shanjun did not hold any position in Nanshan City, but opened several ore shops by himself, doing the business of reselling ores.
This is obviously a very lucrative job, as can be seen from Cheng Shanjun's home.
Chengshanjun, or Mo Zhaoxue's home, was in the cliff he saw when he was still in the forest insects before.
After leading Rob and the others through an old road that had been excavated before and had not been planned, they took the elevator directly and came to this place at a height of more than 400 meters.
Because of the relationship between the internal space, the houses here naturally do not have a front yard or anything like that, the most simple and ordinary is a door, and the one that is a little rich and luxurious is two doors.
Chengshan Jun's house is two very delicately carved hollow doors, which appear low-key but faintly have a sense of luxury.
After opening the door, there is a short entrance, Cheng Shanjun led Luo Bu and others in, changed his shoes at the shoe cabinet, and then walked inside for a while, revealing in front of him is a very wide vaulted living room.
The vault of the living room is exquisitely decorated with many reliefs, while the floor is paved with wooden planks and is equipped with all kinds of furniture and appliances.
But more importantly, one side of the living room is designed with floor-to-ceiling windows, which are very well lit, and you can see that it is at a high place through the glass, with a panoramic view of the Taotao South River and the scenery in the distance.
"There's a platform here!"
When I looked at this side in the forest insects before, I could see that there were many staircases, pavilions and platforms on the cliffs of Nanshan, but I didn't expect that now I would be able to stand on this platform and enjoy the scenery so soon.
When you open the floor-to-ceiling windows and come to the outside of the platform, you are standing directly outside the cliff, and there are many similar platforms around the left and right.
Because they hadn't settled down yet, Rob and the others took a look at it, then returned to the living room and asked, "Isn't such a house expensive?"
Cave houses like this, which are directly close to the edge of the cliff and have such good lighting, may not be uncommon elsewhere, but in a city like Nanshan Castle, which digs a hole in the belly of the mountain, it should obviously be very expensive, after all, the area that can transmit light is limited, and only a small number of people can live.
"It's a bit expensive. Cheng Shanjun nodded and admitted: "But this can't be helped, the number is limited." ”
Rob nodded, in understanding.
"Come, I'll arrange where you live first!"
There are two visible passages in this living room, Cheng Shanjun said, leading a few people to a lighted passage on the right side of the living room.
This passage is not very long, only about ten meters, on one side is a smooth wall, carved with reliefs, and on the other side, there are several separate doors, a total of three, should be rooms.
"It's a small place, and I smiled. ”
Push open the door, inside is really a room, the ground is also paved with wooden floors, although the area is a little small, only more than ten square meters, but the key is the same as the living room, the side facing the cliff directly opened half of the wall of the window, the lighting is very good, do not need to turn on the light, you can see the room clearly, the only pity, is that there is no platform, can not go out.
This room should be furnished according to the specifications of the guest room, there should be, simple but not casual, Rob is very satisfied with it, anyway, he can't live here for a few days, so it doesn't matter if it's small.
The three rooms are all about the same, just one room for Yu Minghai and Luo Bu, and one room for Muzi and Bailu. Bailu still sleeps on the hospital bed, and Muzi can sleep on the bed in the room.
After putting down his luggage and simply walking around the house, Cheng Shanjun asked with a smile: "Do you want to go out for a walk now, or wait here for dinner at home?" When I went to pick you up, I had already asked my aunt to go grocery shopping, and it should be almost time to come back at this time. ”
"It's still early, why don't you go out and take a walk?" Rob was very curious about this city built in the middle of the mountain, although he had seen a lot of things on the way before, but they were only passing by in a hurry, and he didn't see anything more, so he couldn't wait to go out and have a look.
"I have no opinion!" Yu Minghai shrugged, he had said on the road before that he had been to Nanshan City, and he should have visited all the places he should have visited, but he hadn't been here for so long, if he went again, it didn't matter.
"I followed Brother Rob. Muzi said. Although Bailu needs to be taken care of, it does not need to be taken care of 24 hours a day, as long as it is replaced and cleaned at a fixed time.
Seeing this, Cheng Shanjun smiled and said, "Since Rob is so interested, let's go out for a walk! ”
"Done!" Rob responded.
Now that the opinions have been unified, several people went out again, ready to take a look around the neighborhood.
This time, Mo Zhaoxue's daughter and son didn't come out, after all, they were both born locally, and they were already familiar with Nanshan City, and they weren't ready to go far when they went out this time, so they had no interest and chose to stay at home and do their homework.
Under the leadership of Chengshanjun, Luo Bu Minghai and Muzi walked in the passage while listening to Chengshanjun talk about some interesting things such as the historical background of Nanshan City.
According to the chronological order of the construction of Nanshan City, the later the place is built, the more regular the planning, at least in some passages, the height and width are relatively unified, and there are also a lot of reliefs or painting walls and other decorations along the way, so that the simple stone wall looks a lot more eye-catching.
In addition to some forks in the road, there is also a main road that runs through the entire Nanshan City in the belly of the mountain, which is actually the main road that runs through the mountain range.
This main road has been built in the last 100 years, the road surface is more than 100 meters wide, and the height is more than 20 meters.
On the curved vault above, colorful murals are painted, and two rows of huge chandeliers hang to illuminate the main road as bright as day.
Even so, every 200 meters, there is a patio that leads to the top of the mountain, which refracts the sunlight outside, leaving a huge solar spot on the ground.
For the pursuit of sunshine, the residents of Nanshan City are obviously more urgent than the residents of other cities, and they will gather under this spot of light to bask in the sun when they are idle.
Even the welfare of some community organizations is that every once in a while, all employees will gather and occupy a spot to shine on the sun.
If you are not a person who lives in Nanshan Castle all year round, I am afraid it is difficult to understand this yearning and pursuit of sunshine.
The new government can only try to satisfy the residents of Nanshan City as much as possible for such a pursuit, and even regard it as an obligation, and if the community does not organize such sunbathing activities, it will be punished.
According to Chengshanjun's data, this main road has been leading to the depths of the mountain range, although it has an end, but it has not stopped digging inside, which basically means that the main road known as the Sunshine Avenue is currently being built ahead of time, and often after the construction of the Sunshine Avenue is completed for several years, the planning around this main road will continue to extend inside.
“…… For now, it is said that consideration has been given to building a branch line on the Sunshine Boulevard, and that the branch line will lead all the way out of the mountains, and at that time, cities may be built on both sides of the mountains. ”
This is probably what Mo Zhaoxue said, trying to expand Nanshan City from the inside out, right?
To be honest, this is a very dangerous thing, compared to the relatively flat terrain of the North Acropolis, all the surrounding areas of Nanshan City are mountains, and the higher the mountain, the more dangerous it is, far more difficult than preventing demon beasts in the ruins forest.
Looking at the pedestrians coming and going around him, Rob still couldn't hold back after all, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Cheng, why are there so many people in Nanshan City who are so short?
Regarding this question, Cheng Shanjun was not surprised at all, but said with a smile: "People who have never been to other cities, and who come to Nanshan City for the first time, will have such questions. I thought you could endure it until the night! ”
Hearing this, Rob didn't know what to say, so he could only laugh dryly.
"Actually, there's nothing to hide. Cheng Shan Jun said: "Most of the inhabitants of Nanshan City are relatively short, but they are far greater than the tall people. ”
"Nanshan City will have today, it is completely the ...... established by the ancestors of these dwarves"
…… It's not a long, but very simple thing.
Speaking of which, we still have to start from 600 years ago.
The mysterious light from the depths of the universe shone on this planet, and all the animals and plants began to riot, and human beings were caught off guard and almost extinct.
And there happened to be a group of people living under the mountain, who hid in the belly of the mountain by digging holes, so as to avoid the slaughter of animals and plants and preserve the fire of human beings.
After this, the group realized that the only way to survive was to continue hiding in the mountains, and the deeper the hole, the safer it would be.
But what they didn't know at the time was that after being irradiated by the power of the light source, the genes of human beings themselves became very unstable, and they were almost in a state where they would change as long as there was a slight external force.
At that time, the group did not have any large machinery or useful tools, and basically started digging holes with simple tools such as simple hoes.
With such a rudimentary tool, the hole dug out is naturally not that big.
Basically, if you are more than a meter tall and can live and live, it is already very good.
And in such an environment, the first residents of Nanshan City hid for more than two hundred years and spread out.
