Chapter 25: Hope Underground

I felt like it was dawning early, and when there was a knock on the door, the lights went out in the building outside.

I didn't expect Xiang Ci to come over in person, so I quickly invited her into the living room and looked at my watch, which was already past seven o'clock.

"Come with me to breakfast, and I'll show you around when I'm done." Xiang Ci sat on the sofa and looked around.

I was afraid that she would see E's appearance and pretend to close the door of the suite inadvertently. Xiang Ci didn't care about my movements at all, "You don't need to wear that set of things, we have a set of ultrasonic disinfection equipment here, and the main urban area is basically completely covered." ”

When I heard her say this logical and grammatical political language, my heart moved, "What did you do before the mayor?" ”

"Me? I used to be the dean of the College of Life Sciences and later the secretary of the city, do you have any questions? ”

No wonder there is such an official saying, I thought to myself. Looking at her appearance, Xiang Ci's age is less than thirty, but her actual age should be between thirty and forty. At such a young age, he has already served as the dean of the academy and the secretary general of the city, and this person's academic and political skills must be outstanding. I took another look at her abilities, and it seemed that I had been a little too pessimistic before, and that the actual situation might be much better than I had estimated.

"No problem, I'll change my clothes."

No matter what I'm doing today, I can't dress like a special forces anymore, and a seemingly gentle pigeon is easier to trust anywhere except on the battlefield than a threatening falcon.

There was a set of clothes prepared in the room, a white Chinese shirt and a black slightly Chinese-style dress. I dressed myself in front of the mirror, and put Kan's Glock on my waist and the Fixing Light Sword together.

Walking out of the suite door, Xiang Ci tilted his head and looked at me for a while, "The young man is good, are you interested in being a secretary for me?" ”

I smiled and opened the door, "Mayor, we're partners now. ”

Xiang Ci smiled and nodded, and walked out, and I followed her through the low hallway of the hotel.

There was a car waiting for us downstairs, and the driver, a silent but capable young man, opened the door to let us in before starting the car.

"Go back to my office, and I'll go around with Mr. Si'an." Xiang Ci commanded.

The young man said yes, the acoustic panel was raised, and the car drove off.

I looked at the luxurious decoration in the car, and found that I couldn't recognize the brand of the car, and I couldn't help but feel a little unhappy when I thought of Chang Cheng's broken car.

"Mayor Xiang, your car is really good, I don't know what brand it is." I could feel the cold tone myself.

"This is a specially modified car made by the Hongqi Factory, and there was a leader left here during the cataclysm. The defense is good. Xiang Ci didn't seem to notice my tone.

"No wonder, fuel consumption is quite high, right?" I tried to accentuate the contempt in my tone, feeling a little childish in my heart.

Xiang Ci smiled and unbuttoned his clothes, revealing a body armor inside, "In this city, there are many people who want my life, and my life may not be very valuable in the past, but now I think it is at least worth much more than gasoline." ”

I glanced at the bulging body armor and accepted her explanation, "Has the situation deteriorated to this extent?" ”

"It's worse than you think, what do you think would happen if everyone was cursing you at every meal?" Xiang Ci buttoned up.

I heard it was a joke, so I smiled, "Mayor Xiang, there's one thing I can't figure out all night. ”

"You say."

"Obviously, it is Chang Cheng who is protecting the people in the city now, for whatever reason, they are the foundation of the city, why would anyone want to destroy the Great Wall? Even ordinary people will be short-sighted, but the people you are facing should not be so mentally retarded. ”

Xiang Ci was amused by my retarded mind, "You are very sensitive, and this matter is the crux of the whole problem." At first, they only expressed their dissatisfaction with the supply of natural food outside the city, and wanted to reduce the share of natural food and improve the life in the city, but then they thought that they had found a way to replace Chang Cheng's defense, and this became even more serious. ”

There was a lot of information in Xiang Ci's words, and after listening to them, I immediately had two questions, one was why they had to be provided with natural food, and the other was what the new defense was. But after thinking about it, I felt that these questions could be clarified slowly, and the other question had to be asked first.

"To the mayor, I don't think this disagreement can lead to ...... Assassinate. I pondered and asked, "Is there anything else I don't know?" ”

"Of course, there are many more things, don't worry, look around, you will understand." A hint of surprise flashed in Xiang Ci's eyes, probably not expecting me to think of this.

The driver got out of the car and helped Xiang Ci open the car door, and I noticed that he had been protecting Xiang Ci very carefully with his body.

I watched the driver go upstairs. The car started again, drove into a nearby underground passage, and circled down four floors before stopping, next to a huge iron gate.

"It's a personal fortification." Xiang Ci said, "It can withstand a nuclear bomb attack on the ground, and it is already very large, and we have expanded it downward, which can accommodate about 10,000 people, and has its own set of life support systems and small food and drug factories." ”

Xiang Ci introduced me as she flipped through a cover on the car, pressed her finger to a device, and entered a long password after the prompt sounded.

Two machine guns suddenly appeared in the dark groove above the iron gate, and one of them turned out to be an aircraft gun on an airplane! I was shocked, I pressed the wrong password, right?

"Don't be nervous, this can automatically identify the individual who entered the password, and the gun is to ensure that no life other than the target can enter." Xiang Ci seemed to sense my nervousness and explained.

"Am I okay then?" I remembered that it was the password that Xiang Ci pressed.

Xiang Ci drove the car and walked inward, "It's this car that entered the password!" ”

I felt ashamed, my brain must have twitched more than one tendon just now, and in order to hide my embarrassment, I asked, "If a lot of cars pass, will it be very inefficient?" ”

"The highest authority is here, if there is a real emergency, you can turn off this setting." Xiang Ci stopped the car and turned around.

I also got out of the car, and in front of me was an extremely large hall, with a high ceiling, divided into six floors around it, but there were very few people, only a few people passed by, as if it was being repaired.

Xiang Ci pointed to the passage on the other side, "There is the same structure over there, this is the living area, and the production area is there, and now there are about 6,000 people working there. ”

I nodded, shocked in my heart, such a huge civil air defense fortification, it is not an exaggeration to call it a dungeon, could it be said that their reliance is here?
