Volume 1: Afterglow of the Old World Chapter 30: Essence of Essence
Jiayu picked up the oxygen cylinder, and the barometer index had reached zero, that is to say, after the accident between these two people, they didn't know how many oxygen cylinders they had found from there, and then hid in the vault, but the result was too tightly closed, and the two had no chance to escape at all.
Because the preparations were relatively sufficient, the condition of the two survivors was relatively optimistic, and as soon as the air inside and outside the vault circulated, they gradually regained consciousness.
"Rescue is coming?" The middle-aged man struggled to open his eyes. Although after the disaster, they were chased by bugs and fled to the vault of the human bank. He also grabbed two oxygen cylinders from the ambulance that accompanied him.
But two days passed, the oxygen in the vault was simply not enough, the door could not be opened, the vault was not completely sealed, and there were tiny gaps for them to keep alive, but the fresh air was getting less and less, and when they were about to suffocate to death, they were saved.
Even when he was on the verge of death, this middle-aged man was still dressed in a straight suit, his hairstyle was not messy, and his aura was extremely powerful, and the first feeling to Jiayu and Liu Moxi was that this person had seen strong winds and waves.
It's just that Jiayu feels that this person is so familiar.
Liu Moxi, a vigorous ambulance soldier, first checked it with a stethoscope, blood pressure and other portable devices, and quickly nodded, indicating that the condition of the middle-aged man had improved and there was no need to worry.
The young man who killed Matt's hairstyle next to the middle-aged man was in a coma, but he was in a very bad state, and it seemed that his father handed over oxygen to the child at the last moment.
Jiayu nodded, turned around and walked out, the communication equipment in the vault could not be used, and he had to go to the open ground to guide the helicopter to locate and land.
Outside the vault, night has fallen, no stars can be seen, dark clouds are rolling, there will be a thunderstorm soon, it is no longer suitable for rescue helicopter flight, Jiayu yelled at the communication equipment: "Speed up, transport the personnel back as quickly as possible!" ”
After Liu Moxi's treatment, the situation of the two survivors finally stabilized, and then Moxi carried a survivor in one hand and walked out of the vault easily.
The middle-aged man was lying on the stretcher, and when he walked past Jiayu, he raised his hand to signal, Liu Moxi stopped, and the middle-aged man said to Jiayu: "The grace of saving my life, remember my heart, my name is Cheng Guoqing." ”
Liu Moxi treats and saves people in the ward every day, she has never heard the name Cheng Guoqing, but Jiayu is different, she often has to run to the government, and she is slightly surprised.
Ten minutes later, the helicopter arrived, and the two men were quickly transported to the camp, and Liu Moxi, as the team doctor, also had to leave with the plane. Under Jiayu's scorching pee, Liu Moxi got on the plane with a red face.
Looking at the plane that was gradually moving away, I thought, "I actually saved the governor?" ”
In the ruins, only Jiayu was left.
The vault opened a big hole, according to the rules of the camp, Jiayu had to seal the vault and wait for the guards and soldiers of the military region to come here to take care of it, the vault is all state property, and if something happens, he will lose his head.
However, the vault in which the gold bars were stored in the vault could not be opened at all without large machinery, so Jiayu's task was to seal the hole with a simple welding torch, and if there was any problem in the vault, Jiayu would have to go to jail.
There was no one else around him, only himself, and he didn't even look at the welding torch, and walked straight into the vault.
Jiayu looked at the gold entry and exit records, and sure enough, this batch of gold was the finished product of the previous quarter from two gold mines in the northwest of N Province, and it had to be transferred to the capital for storage in a few days.
The gold bars in the vault have been scattered on the ground, each gold bar weighs 100 grams of the international standard, and there are 50 or 60 gold bars densely packed, if it is a standard 12.5 kilograms of gold ingots, ordinary people can't move it.
The box with gold bars was more than 2 meters away from the egg-thick railing, and people couldn't reach into it, and there were some strange gems in the box next to them, all of which were mined in the gold mines.
On the side of the railing, Jiayu pulled the door and did not move, with his current level of evolution, it is still not enough to open such a well-defended vault, let's see what the watch is for.
Jiayu put his left hand with the watch inside, and it was more than a meter away from the gold bar, and the distance could be said to be out of reach.
He sighed, and was about to withdraw his arm, seal the vault and leave, when his watch shook slightly, and he saw a very fantastical scene.
The solid gold bricks seemed to be shattered into fine dust in an instant, and quickly flew towards Jiayu's watch, and the brilliant gold powder, like a brilliant river, meandered into a tiny point on the surface of the watch, and disappeared.
Half an hour later, the gold stored in the vault quietly flowed into the watch system.
Jiayu broke out in a cold sweat, and muttered in his mouth, "I'm not trying to steal money, I'm a good person, and besides, gold is useless in the last days." ”
Gold was a symbol of wealth before the disaster, and a 12.5-kilogram international standard gold ingot was worth more than 3 million.
That is, after the disaster, the value of gold is gradually changing, from a general equivalent, to a metal raw material, the source of gold has extremely strong toughness, hardness exceeds diamond, is an excellent raw material for making weapons, armor and other equipment.
Many wear-resistant metals, such as steel and titanium alloys, have become extremely radioactive substances and can no longer be used by humans.
Busy until midnight, Jiayu has been drenched by the rain, and the gold has been collected. Jiayu, who is a thief, hurriedly welded the vault firmly with an iron plate, and the weather on a thunderstorm night, the helicopter could not fly, and the walkie-talkie was also disturbed by all the noise.
After collecting it, Jiayu searched the system's Home Galaxy Cluster Handicraft Workshop options, and found that several unique pieces of equipment had been slightly lit up.
The skeleton nodded, the main equipment of the material has been collected, and it needs auxiliary materials to provide production energy.
A drop-down menu appears on each equipment option, showing what materials are needed to craft this equipment.
Jiayu looked around a few times and was stunned, "Void Gold? Starlight magnesium? Colorful glass crystals? Mithril? What the hell are these? I don't think there's a periodic table! ”
The skull uses the robotic voice of the tablet to explain, "All new substances can be collected on Earth, please complete all system activation as soon as possible!" ”
Jiayu sighed, walked into the rain, and ran lonely on the ruined land, saving people, and collecting materials by the way.
The people who survived the ruins are now basically finished in one breath.
Originally, it was necessary to wait for the rain to stop and the helicopter flight conditions allowed before entering the dangerous city to save people, but now Jiayu activated the hadron collider equipment service system and followed the instructions of the little girl on the mountain radar to find survivors.
Late at night, the visibility of the ruins of Qingcheng was extremely low, and the whole city was covered by heavy rain, and the life sense of the mountain woman found that there were several places where the survivors were concentrated in the city, and after Jiayu asked the coordinates in detail, he embarked on the road of search and rescue alone.
The disaster brought a huge basin in the center of Qingcheng, which has become a huge lake after a huge rainstorm.
At the bottom of the lake is the original Zhongshan West Road business district, where the most high-rise buildings in the whole Qingcheng are concentrated, the most congested street environment, the new and old buildings are mixed, and the most serious insect tide has also been formed.
This area concentrates 30% of Qingcheng's resident population, and nearly 60% of the floating population, accounting for one-third of the total population of the entire Qingcheng city, and under the double impact of huge geological disasters and insect tide disasters, 250,000 people only left broken bones, only in the basin, the island in the middle of the lake, where there is only a signal of life, about to be extinguished.
Jiayu found the nearest commanding height to the big lake - a high mountain that rose abruptly, moved his body, Jiayu after a short sprint, accelerated the run, jumped up on the edge of the cliff, with the help of the flying suit, pierced into the clouds and lightning, and flew to the center of the lake with all his strength.
On this large lake, lightning rained, and a small figure struggled to descend in the darkness, and finally disappeared into the water not far from the isolated island.
In the dark night, the big lake is like a raging sea, the surging waves cover the sky, and the lake is an isolated island formed by skyscrapers, which has gradually been swallowed up by the huge waves little by little.
In the dark rainstorm, Jiayu climbed the isolated island with difficulty, at this time, there was not much air left in his lungs, he struggled for a long time before he could barely get up, and with difficulty crossed the overlapping ruin obstacles, he could see several skyscrapers falling on top of each other, supporting each other to form a large flat ground.
On the flat ground were countless white bones, piled up into a mountain of bones, and the mountain was gradually beginning to crumble.
I don't know why, none of these tens of thousands of people wanted to resist until they died, everyone just crowded together. Every muscle on the corpse in the outer circle has been eaten away by the sea of worms.
Jiayu began to dig the mountain, X-ray exploration was no longer effective, tens of thousands of people's white bones blocked the line of sight of the exploration, and he began to tear down the mountain with a blue face.
The heads of each of the bones squeezed desperately into it, as if that would give them a chance to survive.
After the bone wall of more than ten meters in the outer circle was excavated, relatively complete corpses began to be seen inside, and the insect swarm was destroyed by the starlight before they could eat it.
Jiayu estimated that by the time the swarm was wiped out, thousands of people in the inner circle had been dead for a long time, most of them were squeezed to death and suffocated, and a small number of people were scared to death.
In the huge mountain of corpses, it is undoubtedly a matter of looking for a needle in a haystack to find a living life. Jiayu didn't give up, he dug according to his instincts, and the carcass fell into the lake, floating into the distance in the loud sound of the thunderstorm.
Tens of thousands of people piled up in the mountain, Jiayu can't dig it all up, so he can only hit the luck, relying on his natural ability, in the cold corpse, to feel any bit of temperature with all his might.
After a day and a night of fermentation, the temperature of the inner core of the corpse mountain has begun to gradually rise, and a large amount of organic gas is released, like a volcano, waiting for the moment of eruption.
Jiayu felt like a groundhog, digging east and west in the corpse mountain, and in the end, he felt completely disoriented, and there was no chance to get the only survivor out.
When he reflexively withdrew, Jiayu heard a cry for help, which sounded directly in his head.
The sound of "oops, babbling, babbling" is not heard by ear, but directly rings in the mind, it is a natural ability of some kind of broadcasting, and the sound is gradually increasing, and some messy pictures appear.
A shaky and shaky scene, by chance several buildings collapsed like loose dominoes, several buildings fell together, forming a relatively stable structure, and then the next scene was a large hall with ornate crystal chandeliers, and then a grizzled woman crying.
Jiayu's cold hair stood on end, "Ghost! ”
