Chapter 128: The Secrets of the Aborigines
"Huh?" As if she had suddenly discovered something, Charlene was stunned in surprise.
"See that?" Chu Ci chuckled, "You say, is it possible that these stones are the tools used by the aborigines on the other side of the river to cross the river?" ”
"Why don't you say that Yuhe was deliberately left behind by those aborigines...... This? Charlene rolled her eyes angrily, "Why are you sure that there will be aborigines here?" The environment is obviously well maintained, isn't it? ”
"It's good." Chu Ci nodded, and affirmed Charlene's observation ability, "It is precisely because this is a very intact underground city in the history of the Federation and a very good ecosystem evolution, so it is more suitable for human survival." ”
Charlene pursed her lips, a little disapproving.
You know, in the late apocalypse, the ratio between humans and zombies is not just one to ten, and the number of surviving humans is really so small that it is sad.
And most of these survivors are also gathered in a fixed number of survivor bases. Therefore, even if after his "death", the earth has undergone a large-scale violent crustal movement, and because of its sudden and menacing appearance, a lot of places have been buried, but it can just not be good to trap the survivor base, and it has also formed an environment suitable for human survival underground......
It's not impossible, but obviously it's not everywhere! It might have been possible if it was a zombie that had fallen, after all, zombies had occupied most of the earth at that time. Even the huge number of alien beasts and alien plants are faintly vulnerable.
Charlene's eyes widened suddenly. Wait, maybe it's possible!
You know, the water in the underground river is said to be clean. But no one knows what kind of effect it will bring if you drink it directly, and the biggest effect of that large piece of Yuhe is to purify the river water......
Moreover, the reason why there are no aggressive beasts in this dark river, who knows if it is because those beasts that once existed zài have been in the past thousand years. Cleared by the humans underground?
Water is the source of life, and humans want to live. It is necessary to have enough water. There is no substitute for this, no matter what the circumstances.
In the last days, humanity suffered heavy casualties and was rapidly defeated. The lack of water is a very important point. But in the same way, if there is enough pure water, it is not a particularly difficult place for human beings to live.
Even if there were no humans in this dungeon when it first fell, there is no guarantee that there will be humans who later discovered this underground paradise and led some people to hide here.
Perhaps, the water in the lower reaches of this dark river can be used directly? Thinking that she had not only gone down the dark river, but also didn't know how many times she had been choked when she was fluttering in the dark river, Charlene's expression was a little strange. I looked up at Chu Ci, and then at the other side of the river, not knowing what I was thinking.
And Chu Ci also raised his head. He was staring at the hazy scenery on the other side of the river with a deep expression, and his expression was indistinguishable.
In fact, after the arrival of Bai Qiang and the hedgehog, Xia Lin and Chu Ci's bold guesses were quickly confirmed.
The water of the Dark River is divided into two distinct parts because of the storage of the lotus.
The upstream water can also be used, but it is clearly not pure enough. There are even some harmful substances in it. The water downstream of Yuhe has been thoroughly purified. There is even a hint of sweetness.
For the people who are accustomed to drinking the artificially purified water of the Federation, it is simply unbelievable.
"It seems that your luck is indeed very good." Looking at the people in front of them who were very diligently replacing the water in the bucket that Charlene handed them with the water in the river, and then collecting it into their own space, Chu Ci turned his head and looked at Charlene with a smile.
It's not just good, it's just against the sky? Everyone secretly complained in their hearts.
You should be able to find power stones by anyone, discover underground rivers, find Yuhe, and even find aborigines who have lived underground for more than 3,000 years (plus the dark years before the establishment of the Federation).
Charlene didn't go down to the river to get water.
It's not because she doesn't like these natural mountain springs that are equivalent to her time, or because she can't bear the water in her space, but she doesn't need it.
Don't forget, her space is now planted with lotus! In the near future, she can dig out another pool alone, and fill it with the purified water of the Federation, and she can easily eat this real pure water forever.
Moreover, she was clearly more concerned about other things at this time.
"You say, that piece of power stone, could it be that the aborigines of the underground deliberately put it there to lure us over?" Glancing at the other side of the river, Xia Lin was still a little unsure of the situation on the other side of the river, so Xia Lin could only reach out and pull Chu Ci's sleeve, let people attach her ears, and she asked in a careful whisper in Chu Ci's ear.
The girl's warm breath caressed her ears, making Chu Ci, who had always had little contact with the opposite sex, slightly uncomfortable, but soon, his attention was gone.
was confused by Charlene's question, Chu Ci even forgot to push Charlene away, but his face became solemn.
This question is really uncertain!
Of course, the premise of this qiē is that if there really are aborigines.
Although everyone said that they were all fetching water by the river, everyone was a good hand at watching and listening to all directions, Charlene and her boss were so close, how could people like the two of them not see it?
Therefore, Bai Qiang and Lu Weiming, who were fetching water, secretly communicated with each other.
Tsk, it's really incredible that the boss of their family, who has always had a negative EQ, will have a day of falling in love.
They originally thought that the boss would fall in love with military merit for a lifetime, after all, (╯_╰) the reason why their boss's military merit climbed so fast was inseparable from his desperate struggle.
In the federal army, no matter what your status is, everyone is treated equally, and if you want to stand tall, there are only two ways, one is to show that you are good enough during school, or even achieve very important military merits, and then directly enter the army after graduation. As for the two, it can only be a little bit of climbing up from the formation.
Even the Nine Hidden Families, the most powerful and mysterious in the Federation, would not take action for their family's children's status and rights in the military.
As for the so-called nine major families of the Federation now, I'm sorry, there are not many opportunities for them to get involved in the army.
"This place, the next exploration, is no longer something we can decide." Chu Ci sighed, and it was difficult to hide regret in his tone.
If they wanted to hand over the right to explore this place, then naturally, it would be impossible for them to look for power stones here.
Regardless of whether these power stones were left thousands of years ago, or those deliberately placed by underground humans, or even what was on the other half of this dungeon, whether there were really aborigines or not, I am afraid that they were destined to have no chance with Chu Ci.
Even if they still have the right to know, even if maybe they will still participate in the development of this dungeon, but what is here, he can't touch it again.
Everyone obviously thought of this very quickly, so their mood was somewhat depressed.
Thinking about their group of people, although their backgrounds are not necessarily all noble, and even the hedgehog and Du Qinglin have climbed up from the bottom little by little, but since they grew up, they have not suffered this kind of grievance for many years.
But it's so important......
Xia Lin didn't know what the crystal nucleus meant to Chu Ci, but looking at the people who were extremely depressed, she could more or less guess a few points, and it was these points that made her feel a little uncomfortable.
On the way back, Charlene always looked like she wanted to say something, and secretly resigned more than once.
Seeing Charlene's actions, everyone only thought that Charlene finally had a good impression of the boss, so they squeezed their eyebrows and reminded each other, and even deliberately created opportunities for the two to be alone more than once.
For example, at this time, it was supposed to be the time for everyone to eat together, but everyone hurriedly pulled their share of the meal one by two, and found an excuse to slip away.
Even the originally stupid teenager Liang Sihao and the silent Du Qinglin were taken away by Lu Weiming and the hedgehog one by one.
After all, even if only a piece of energy stone was found, everyone believed in Elder Huangfu's words, and Charlene would be the destined person of the boss and could help the boss survive the disaster.
In that case, it's even better to match the two, isn't it?
So, when Charlene finally cleaned up the kitchen and came over for dinner, she saw that Chu Ci was the only one left on the table.
"Uh...... What about them? Charlene looked at Chu Ci with some puzzlement.
"It's all gone." Chu Ci raised his eyes and glanced at Xia Lin lightly, unable to see his joy or anger, "Sit down and eat." ”
"Oh." Charlene nodded, sat down as she said, took a few bites of dinner, and couldn't help but secretly look at Chu Ci again. Unexpectedly, as soon as he raised his eyes, he collided with Chu Ci's eyes.
"Uh...... Hehe...... That ......" Charlene was inexplicably a little weak-hearted, "You don't eat, see what I do?" ”
Chu Ci still looked at Xia Lin calmly, "Do you have anything to say to me?" ”
"Huh?" Charlene paused for a moment, "What words?" I ......"
"If not, what are you doing peeking at me lately?" It seemed that she couldn't feel Charlene's embarrassment at all, and Chu Ci asked very concisely. "It's so frequent that it's impossible for anyone to pretend to ignore it."
Charlene:......
"I thought you were suggesting that I was giving you a space to speak alone."
Charlene who didn't want to talk at all: ...... (To be continued) R655
