Chapter 497: Ordinary Carriage
The 67106th train is still speeding in the dark and lengthy tunnel, and in the carriage where Qi Lin is located, the smell of blood is quickly covered by all kinds of disgusting odors, and the air in the entire carriage is very turbid, and it is not much better than the tunnel in the slums, fortunately, the adaptability of human beings has never been weak, when Qi Lin just entered the carriage, he was still thinking that it would be good if he could wear a mask with filter cotton, but now, he has become accustomed to the smell in the carriage.
To be precise, it's not a habit, but his nose has lost his sense of smell Under the action of the human body's self-protection mechanism, his sense of smell has been temporarily blocked, unless he smells some dangerous smells that he represents, such as the smell of blood, gunpowder or the unique stench of some mutated creatures, otherwise, Qi Lin has been completely numb to other smells.
As for opening the windows for ventilation, it is an absolute taboo on this kind of underground train, although the windows are not sealed, but even if the smell in the carriage is unbearable, the windows on the train will only be opened when entering the station.
The reason is simple, there are a large number of mutated creatures living in the dark and deep tunnels, and the bloodthirsty rats and giant beetles are only the lowest level of these mutated creatures, and no one knows how many dangerous predators are still hiding in the shadows.
The train full of passengers is undoubtedly the equivalent of a tin can filled with delicious fresh meat for these trappers, but in the face of the sturdy carriage, these trappers do not have a suitable can opener, and after entering the tunnel, a layer of steel is placed outside the transparent synthetic resin window, which is also to prevent these trappers from using their fangs and claws to force their way in.
Originally, it would have been possible to deal with the drunkard who was making trouble, plus throwing the corpse, and this kind of thing could be solved by two guards at most, but six people came at once, just to prevent those things in the tunnel from taking the opportunity to get into the carriage when the train door was opened.
The sound of metal wheels and metal tracks rubbing has been echoing in the ears of passengers, because in just a dozen years to lay all over the entire China underground tracks, so the quality of the steel of these tracks is mostly uneven, rust, deformation and the like are common things, but as long as they can still be used for the train to run, few people will renovate these tracks.
Anyway, according to the original setting, the maximum service life of these shelters is basically ten years, and only the bases of some big conglomerates will be built according to the standard of permanent fortifications, and these tracks are naturally enough as long as they can be maintained for ten years, if humans really can't return to the surface within ten years, then no matter whether this underground transportation network all over the world can still operate or not, human beings are basically not far from extinction.
……
An hour and a half later, it was time for lunch.
There is a small kitchen on the train, but the food prepared in this kitchen will only be served to the crew and passengers in the VIP car, and the passengers in the green car can also enjoy the steaming food after paying an additional meal fee, as for the ordinary car where Qi Lin is located, even the cart that delivers the meal will not come in.
The passengers in the carriage began to eat with their own food, but at this time, Qi Lin found something a little embarrassing.
Most of the food brought by passengers in ordinary carriages is the kind of powdered synthetic food, which is inferior to the paste-like synthetic food of relief materials in terms of taste, texture and nutritional value, but it is cheaper.
A 350-gram bag of pureed synthetic food can provide an adult's daily calorie needs, but such a 350-gram bag of pureed synthetic food can be exchanged for a large bottle of this powdered synthetic food.
Such a bottle of powdered synthetic food has a net weight of about seven or eight hundred grams, take out a part of it, and brew it with water to become a bowl of thin paste, although it is not very hungry, but a bottle can be calculated, how can a person not have to worry about food problems in three or four days.
A ticket with 45 resource points is nothing to Qi Lin, but for these poor people, they must tighten their belts and save money for a long time.
Qi Lin only carried canned food in his backpack, although these canned foods were all "processed products" that had been contaminated by radiation, but most of them were products of the old era, in other words, almost all of them were "genuine" vegetables and meat, unlike the "canned meat" produced by the canneyard factory, which was said to be "canned meat", but there was not even a bit of meat in it, all of them were pieces of salty and hard "soy protein meat".
If Qi Lin opened these cans in the carriage, the unique aroma of meat would instantly attract the attention of everyone in the carriage, and if these cans attracted some unnecessary attention, it would not be what Qi Lin wanted to see.
Although these contaminated cans are cheap, they also require several resource points, and people who can afford to eat this kind of canned food will never buy an ordinary car ticket with 45 resource points.
In this case, Qi Lin simply chose not to eat, anyway, with the physique of the evolutionary, eating less or eating a few meals later would definitely not have any effect on the body.
……
Two hours later, train 67106 entered the "Xinfuyang" station of Vault 367.
The place of this station is called "New Fuyang", because the largest railway station in Hui Province in the old era, "Fuyang Railway Station", is located on the surface directly above the "New Fuyang" station, but the old Fuyang Railway Station has long been in ruins in the war.
The passengers rushed out of the carriage, and some people who had already gathered around the platform and wore ill-fitting inferior suits immediately surrounded them, but the target they were looking for was neither the VIP passenger nor the ordinary passenger of the business car, but the people who came out of the ordinary car.
These people call themselves "headhunters", but unlike the headhunters of the old days who focused on high-end talent, their job is only to find enough people for those projects in the shelter that require a lot of labor.
To put it bluntly, it's similar to the labor agency of the old days.
A thief-eyed headhunter set his sights on Qi Lin Compared with the other passengers in the ordinary carriage with a weak body and thin yellow muscles, Qi Lin's physique is obviously much stronger and his complexion is also very good, and labor like this can often be sold for a higher price, and he, as an intermediary, can also earn more intermediary fees. 2k reading web
