He stared at the sky, and finally found the clue.

Behind the blue background, traces of a patchwork of huge plates can be faintly seen, at least a hundred meters away from the ground.

The soft white clouds seem to be real, the breeze around is also blowing pleasantly, and a few fallen leaves are slowly falling from the plane trees on the side of the road, and the breath of autumn is blowing in the face.

If you don't look closely, you won't realize that these scenes are all created by man.

Xia Ren looked down at the black phone, and the map showed that he was currently in the living area on the tenth floor of the basement, three thousand five hundred and seventy meters above the surface.

One floor alone is so huge, it's hard to imagine how the entire building of the Foundation headquarters could have been built, and I'm afraid it was definitely not human.

The streets are clean, and under the branches of the trees, you can see cute cleaning robots standing guard in place.

It's a small city entirely, and there are even all kinds of shops on both sides of the road, except for a small number of people, only one can be seen once in a while, and the people walking on the road are leisurely young and middle-aged, and there are no old people.

Xia Ren stood on the sidewalk, looking at the clerk who was bored and playing with her mobile phone behind the glass door of a bubble tea shop.

After a moment's hesitation, he didn't go in to disturb the other party.

After passing through the neat streets and waiting for a dozen red lights, Xia Ren came to the other side of the living area.

It is a golden wheat field with dirt paths crisscrossing the wheat fields, and at the edge of the wheat fields, there are greenhouses where fruits and vegetables are grown.

The doubts in Xia Ren's heart were solved, no wonder he was able to eat fresh ingredients for lunch, it turned out that those ingredients did not come from the outside, but here.

Xia Ren suddenly realized that the other energy sources in the headquarters were probably also self-sufficient.

The place where he is at the moment is completely detached from the ecology of the earth and is operating independently.

Opening the black phone, he read all the ten layers of the map, and found that there were still seven living quarters like this, but only two were open.

Xia Ren made a rough estimate, according to his simple observation just now, one living area can accommodate at least 500,000 people, and those eight living areas are four million people!

Know that this is only one layer!

Not counting the eighteenth floor, there are sixteen floors in places like this in the Foundation headquarters.

Accommodating at least 64 million people......

"No wonder it was built in the Moka Desert, where birds don't poop."

But then, a new question popped up in Xia Ren's mind.

According to his observations along the way, the utilization rate of this living area is actually very low, and it is an exaggeration to say that only one household lives in a residential building.

In other words, even if only one living area is open on this floor, it is completely enough for all people, and it is more than enough, which is equivalent to increasing from one household in one building to two households in one building.

It is impossible for the Foundation not to be aware of this problem when they built the headquarters, but they built it anyway, and even after it was built, only two of the eight living quarters on the first floor could barely be opened.

It is necessary to build like this at the expense of a lot of resources and time, Xia Ren thinks about it, there is only one possibility.

"Shelter!"

Whether it is the geographical location of the headquarters or various other conditions, this conjecture is completely valid.

"Could it be that the Foundation's founders predicted the end of the world?"

If this is really the case, then this world is more magical than he imagined.

With this thought in mind, Xia Ren rode a scooter through the farmland to the end of the living quarters.

In fact, he could have had a faster passage to the shelter, but he wanted to see the scenery of the living area, so he chose to use the scooter to move slowly.

As it turned out, he made the right choice.

Walking out of the living quarters and taking another horizontal elevator, he finally stood in front of the door of the shelter.

This area mainly contains Safe-class containment, which is the easiest level to contain, but it does not mean that the containment objects of this level are harmless, it just means that they do not need to pay more attention after being contained.

Carrying the A-level identity token, the door of the shelter is automatically open to him.

After entering, there is a spacious and bright hall, where there are obviously more people than the living quarters, some of the staff are wearing normal white uniforms, some are dressed in strange shapes, what kind of welder's hat, space suit, yellow-green pattern sheets, etc., etc., etc., I don't know if it is because of the needs of the work to wear like this.

Originally, Xia Ren was worried that his casual clothes would not be too eye-catching, but now it seems to be more normal.

"How can I help?"

A male staff member stepped out from behind the office desk in the lobby and asked.

Xia Ren turned his head to look, and at the same time, the male staff's pupils suddenly lit up with a faint green light, and then, he changed his greeting: "Hello, respected legendary investigator. ”

Xia Ren found that his behavior was somewhat disobedient, so he couldn't help but look him up and down curiously, and found that this male staff member turned out to be a robot.

No one's expression can be stable to such an extent, and even the pupils don't move a bit.

"I want to see the containment here."

Xia Ren said calmly.

"What is the containment number, please?" The staff asked.

Xia Ren thought for a while: "Is there a catalog?" ”

"Wait a minute."

The staff turned back to the workbench, took out a screen, and handed it to Xia Ren.

When he walks, he takes every step of the exact same distance, and even the amplitude of the swing of his arms is extremely precise, which only a robot can do.

Xia Ren flipped through it, and in the screen that the other party brought, a string of directories was displayed, each directory corresponded to a containment object, and after clicking on it, there was a detailed description of the containment object, as well as the current person in charge.

Digging through the catalog, Xia Ren found that the containment center in this area contained a total of 310 Safe-class containment objects.

"That's it."

Xia Ren said casually.

The staff took back the screen from his hand, nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll arrange it for you right away." ”

"However, due to the incident two days ago, all containment items are currently under observation, and I need you to provide your ID token to register before entering."

"Still need to register?"

Xia Ren was a little surprised.

The shelter at the Foundation headquarters was very different from what he had imagined before, in his previous vision, the shelter should be a library-like structure, with all the containments placed on the shelves, like neat books, and after entering by himself, he only needed to reach out and touch the shelves one by one.

But the reality is that containment items are not just stored individually, and they need to be registered in order to be seen.

The most important thing is that once registered, if there is a problem behind the containment, he will definitely be listed as a key suspect, and the containment object that he touches will definitely have a problem......

Is it really worth it for a fifty achievement point?

Xia Ren thought for two seconds and decided to forget his original intention.

"Sorry to interrupt."

He turned and left the shelter.

The dream of bullshit when he was young might as well seal an infected body by himself to achieve it quickly!

……

……

Half an hour later, Xia Ren returned to the hospital.

The difference is that this time he did not return to his hospital room, but came to find an acquaintance.

Looking at the sign above his head that said "The Third Training Room of the Rehabilitation Department", Xia Ren pushed open the door.

"Yo, long time no see."

He was the first to say hello.

In the center of the room, Tang Tangtang was sitting on a yoga mat with a worried face, and at a position one meter in front of Tang Tangtang, a figure wrapped tightly in white bandages was doing handstand push-ups in an exaggerated posture, perhaps it would be more appropriate to say that it was one-finger meditation, because the person really only used one finger to support the whole body, and it was a little thumb.

With his arm bending and rebounding, the moment his body was temporarily in the air, the little thumb was replaced with the ring finger, and it was just a turn, it was really fierce.

"You're here."

The man noticed footsteps approaching, finished his workout, and got up from the ground, covered in bandages.

"Yi Zhiyu?"

Xia Ren reluctantly recognized his identity from the other party's eyes.

"It's me who made you laugh."

Yi Zhiyu glanced Xia Ren up and down, and said in admiration: "Brother Xia recovered really fast. ”

Xia Ren looked at his appearance and couldn't help but worry: "You ...... Does it really matter? ”

"What did Brother Xia say?"

Yi Zhiyu laughed and said, "This little injury has long been fine, if it weren't for the fuss of those doctors, the dozens of stitches on the heart and the dozens of steel plates on the bones last night should have been removed." ”

Dozens of steel plates...... This must be a whole body fracture, right?

Hearing the other party's description, Xia Ren became even more worried.

Wait a minute!

He felt as if he had just heard something.

Dozens of stitches on the heart?

Natsuhito's eyes widened and he looked at the position of his chest.

"Harm, it seems that Brother Xia is suspicious of me, you look."

Probably to prove that his body was indeed strong, Yi Zhiyu took two steps back and took a deep breath.

"Master, don't ......"

Tang Tangtang hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it, but it was too late.

Yi Zhiyu leaned back and sat up on the spot for a backflip, and it was continuous, and the movements were fast, very fast.

He's spinning!

"How's that, isn't it amazing?"

Yi Zhiyu said while turning his head.

Xia Ren opened his mouth and saw that the bandages on his body began to scatter, and the whole person was like a swirling ball of noodles.

"There's more!"

After Yi Zhiyu finished speaking, he kicked his legs hard, and the whole person jumped to a high place.

But he seemed to be so happy that he forgot one thing.

This room has a ceiling.

With a "bang", the white ceiling withstood the impact that it should not have endured at its age.

But fortunately, it was strong, so it resisted.

Yi Zhiyu went up too fast, and how fast he came down, and the whole person formed a big shape and lay on the yoga mat.

"Bang!"

The people in the training room were kicked open, and several doctors in white coats ran up violently, and the fierce gaze of the leader locked on Yi Zhiyu who was lying on the ground at a glance.

"Dare to sneak out and take it away!"

With a wave of his hand, several doctors immediately moved out of the stretcher, threw Yi Zhiyu on it, and then carried it out without stopping.

In the blink of an eye, Xia Ren and Tang Tangtang were left in the room.

The air is quietly terrifying.

Xia Ren looked at Tang Tangtang.

The latter blushed and said, "The doctor said that this is the sequelae, and the master's sanity has not yet recovered, so in the near future, it may be ...... Can be a little dumb. ”

"Ugh."

Xia Ren suddenly sighed.

Tang Tangtang thought that he was worried about the master's physical condition, so he said: "It's okay, the master's recovery power is really strong, and it wasn't fatal just now." ”

"Not this."

Xia Ren shook his head, put his hand in his trouser pocket, touched his phone, and said, "I regret that I didn't shoot the scene just now, what a good black history, alas." ”
