The Grey Age Chapter 30 The Farm

"Ahem, the day before yesterday, the two men in suits were here for a long time, and then they took the card and swiped it, and then here, a bunch of buttons popped up."

Entering the elevator, I cleared my throat and pointed to the floor button and told them what I had seen before, and I didn't know if they could understand it.

"What's that? Listen to you say it's like a science fiction movie. ”

Sure enough, Dabin, a guy with a low IQ, suddenly scratched his head and looked at me with innocent little eyes.

"Qi Mo is right, look here."

Maggie had been bending down to look inside the elevator. I saw her gently stroking the hidden buttons with her hand, feeling it and saying to us.

"Huh? I'll see. ”

When Dabin heard Maggie say this, he also followed Maggie's example and gently stroked the lines of the button.

"I'm going?! There are really grooves, why is this Paula company so mysterious? ”

Dabin looked like he didn't understand.

"Maggie, is there anything you can do? Did you find any keyholes or something? ”

Thinking that Maggie was very clever to untie the monitoring system just now, I might as well ask her again, maybe there is a way, or not.

"No, it seems that it's really like you said, you have to swipe your card."

Maggie shook her head helplessly, indicating that there was nothing she could do about this elevator.

"Well, you guys study first, I'll go to my office to get something first, and I'll be back soon"

Liu Xuerong interjected a digression at this time.

"Something? That's it, Sister Liu, this elevator can also go to the eighth floor, and a few of us have nothing to do, let's go with you together, what do you think? ”

Although I don't want to get too close to Sister Liu, for fear that she will say something that makes me unable to get off the stage, I can't tolerate sloppiness in this kind of matter related to life safety.

Dabin and Fei Fei agreed without even thinking about it, and in their opinion, it was an inconsequential matter.

Maggie hesitated, then nodded. I could tell that Maggie was not very reluctant, but in the end she gave me this face.

"Huh? No, no, I can do it myself, and I'll come down soon, so I don't need to bother you. ”

Liu Xuerong refused very abruptly, as if she resisted like an electric shock, which was completely different from her usual state, and I couldn't help but have some doubts in my heart.

"It's really not okay to go alone, or Fei Fei and I will go with you, someone has to go with you anyway."

Dabin was a little impatient, although he and Liu Xuerong were both employees of Paula's company, they were not familiar with each other at all, and they would not speak politely.

"Huh? Forget it, I won't take it, I won't take it. ”

Seeing that we were so persistent, Liu Xuerong was a little overwhelmed for a while, and finally gave up going to the office directly.

We are all a little inexplicable, what kind of way is this Liu Xuerong? Why didn't you go all of a sudden?

While we were puzzled, the general jumped up and down in the elevator with some impatience, scratching the position of the elevator button with his paws from time to time.

"Qi Mo, I have a way!"

At this moment, Maggie suddenly interrupted my thoughts and said to me with a look of surprise. A few of us gathered around, waiting for Maggie's answer.

"We're all too careful, in fact, we don't need to do this at all, you just use an axe to split it? What else are you looking for in a keyhole? ”

Maggie lowered her body and touched the general's head, very doting.

Dabin and I woke up from a dream. That's right! When is this coming, and you still need a fart password key, what rules do you still keep? Just split it violently.

As soon as I thought of it, I pulled out the hand axe pinned to my waist and slashed it horizontally at the place where there were slight grooves in the twenty-six buttons. With a "clang", the axe was firmly embedded in the metal partition. The elevator still didn't respond, and I just wanted to pull out the axe and chop it again, but Dabin stopped me.

"Kuroko, don't move, hold the axe steady"

As he spoke, Dabin also pulled out the claw hammer from his waist, found the back of the axe and smashed it down.

There was another "clang" in the elevator. Dabin's strength was so great that it made my mouth slightly numb. But to our excitement, a scene appeared.

I saw the elevator door slowly close, and then climbed upward. It seems that Dabin's huge force just now triggered the hidden button of the elevator, and our luck is really good!

With a "ding" sound, the elevator finally came to the twenty-sixth floor as we wished. Looking at the man-made world in front of me, which is about 500 square meters, even if I have seen it once before, I will still feel extremely shocked, especially the huge glass cover covering the entire farm, and its shocking effect is no less than that of the farm. It's like a secluded pure land, unpolluted, so wouldn't it be nice to be able to wait quietly for the disaster to end?

"O Nima! That's awesome, isn't it? ”

Dabin held his head in his hands, completely unable to believe the scene in front of him.

"This, is this my Paula company that has been in for so many years?"

Liu Xuerong's eyes widened, her lips opened slightly, and her face was incredulous.

"Dabin, it's so beautiful here! Let's stay here! ”

Fei Fei's face was slightly red, and she was very excited. It's a tourist attraction for her.

The general was also bouncing around, grinning wide-mouthed, and occasionally dripping a drop or two of saliva on the ground.

Maggie seemed calm, as if it was all within her acceptability, which I couldn't help but admire. Now is a special period, the outside world is no longer suitable for human habitation, can be fortunate to hide in such a pure land, shouldn't you feel happy?

The elevator door slowly opened, and the general was the first to rush out with a flick of his tongue.

But what made us laugh and cry was that the general hit his head on the transparent glass shield that protected the entire farm, and it kept rolling on the ground in pain, and its mouth made a "whine" sound.

We went to the 26th floor to take a closer look, and probably figured out the layout of the entire floor. The entire floor of the building is built in concentric circles and covers an area of about 1,000 square meters. The entire 26th floor is a huge circular building, which encloses the laboratories, dormitories, and dining halls that the farm and researchers need, and even a room decorated in the style of a bar for the entertainment of the researchers.

In the center of the twenty-sixth floor, there is this thick and long pitch-black metal cylinder, and the cylinder is also scattered with regular circular grooves, connecting the very center of the entire glass shield. On our left hand side is a row of eight bedrooms, each about 30 square meters in size, with its own bathroom, furniture and supplies, and even a small kitchen. On the right-hand side is a row of laboratories with a wide variety of chemicals and glassware, and directly across from the staff lounge and a miniature bar the size of ten people to rest. It can be said that we are now equivalent to collective tourism.

We were all happy, and the corners of my mouth were also hooked up in an upward arc. In this way, we don't have to go to the city's epidemic prevention station to report, besides, after the completion of the epidemic prevention station, I don't know how many survivors go there to take refuge.

The general kept scratching around the glass cover with his gripper, as if he wanted to go in and play.

"Qi Mo, hurry up and find out where you can get inside, what do you think the general is in a hurry?"

Seeing the general's anxious look, Meiqi said to me with some distress.

I nodded with a wry smile and began to look along the entire glass enclosure for where to get in.

After walking along the glass cover for nearly a quarter of a minute, I finally saw something similar to the LED sign in a shopping mall, with a faint blue glow on it. I quickly stepped forward to check it out, and found that this thing that resembled an LCD TV was the controller of the entire farm! All the functions of controlling the farm are clearly annotated above.

I clicked on the menu, there was a weather simulation on it, I clicked on this entry, and at once I saw rows of various weather "cloudy and sunny, light to heavy rain, winds from 1 to 10, sandstorms, hail..." Click back to look again, and there is an entry on it that catches my attention. Click on it to view, there are open and close the shield, and there is an entry called "restore default".

"Revert to default? Is it an option similar to a factory reset of your phone? Wouldn't it be nice if you accidentally pressed it?"

I was in a cold sweat, and if I accidentally clicked on this option, I didn't know what would happen.

The general was already in a hurry, scratching back and forth on my legs. I wanted to check out the wonders of this farm more, but the general didn't seem to give me this opportunity.

In desperation, I pressed the entry "Open the shield", and when I landed, the ground shook slightly, and the huge glass shield rose straight up along the pitch-black metal cylinder, until it was three meters above the ground. The general rushed inside and began to roll around, and the rest of us went inside to find out.

The refreshing scent of the earth wafted into my nose, mixed with the smell of chicken and cow dung, and I closed my eyes and couldn't help but think back to when I was younger. At that time, although the family lived in the countryside and was not a farmer, livestock such as pigs, cattle and sheep could still be seen frequently. Next door to my yard is a farmer who breeds cattle, and every time I pass by his house, I cover my nose and pass quickly, and the smell is so strong that I can't breathe. But now, somehow, I feel a sense of happiness when I smell this stench, which proves that I am still alive, I still have hope of living, and I am still a real human being.

"Qi Mo, what do you want? So into the gods? ”

Liu Xuerong didn't know when she had come to my side, I subconsciously hid to the side, and now this action has become my sequelae.

"Ah, nothing, it just feels like a dream."

I took another deep breath and felt the fresh air again.

"yes, it's like a dream, I've probably been living in a dream for so many years."

Liu Xuerong sighed, as if she had something to say.

"Qi Mo! Come and see, the general catches a chicken! ”

Maggie stood next to a chicken pen and jumped up and waved at me, a happy smile on her face. From afar, I could see the general holding a fat chicken in his mouth, jumping up and down so excitedly.

"It's coming! Stinky boy, don't bite the chicken to death! That's food! ”

I laughed and ran to Maggie's side.

"Huh!"

Liu Xuerong behind me looked at the back of me running towards Meiqi, raised her hand, her lips opened slightly, and she made a note.

"Huh? What's wrong, Sister Liu? ”

I looked back at her, and she seemed to have something to say to me.

"No, it's nothing, I'll go to the dormitory to rest for a while, I'm a little tired."

Liu Xuerong said to me with a smile and pursed her lips slightly.

"Okay."

I answered, didn't think much of it, and ran towards Maggie again.

"Qi Mo, I, I like you.."

Liu Xuerong's lips trembled slightly, and she watched me walk away, and then slowly spit out this sentence....
