Chapter 399: Energy Shortage
The air in the ecological park is obviously much better than the foul smell outside, and there is a faint smell of earth, and all kinds of plants grow healthily here.
Nutrients are the last thing the survivors lack, and manure and decay discarded in the underground passages can be used as a source of fertilizer.
A man in a wheelchair with his left eye tightly wrapped in a bandage stares at the plant in front of him, holding a small shovel with dirt in his hand.
Although he was very embarrassed and his clothes were dirty, when he glared at Wu Mo with his only remaining right eye, Wu Mo couldn't help but take a step back, this man is not simple.
"By introduction, if you have our information, you should be able to guess his identity, one of the EA leaders - Mr. Owen." Yang Ping moved two small benches, one for each person, and it would be more comfortable to sit down and talk.
"Now it's more like a waste that only takes care of plants." Owen smiled slightly, threw away the small shovel in his hand, and politely stretched out his hand to Wu Mo, "Don't you think I'm dirty, right?"
Wu Mo stretched out his hand and shook hands with Owen, EA, a very powerful organization, then one of his leaders will not be a small person.
"This is Wu Mo, the spaceship pilot who came from Earth to help us, and belongs to an evolutionary organization." Yang Ping introduced.
"Evolvers are organized, manpower is sometimes poor, so we will continue to pursue evolution." Owen lifted the blanket that had been laid on him, his right leg amputated, and he relied on a prosthetic leg to move, but the lack of maintenance and repair made the mechanical limb appear to be very inflexible.
As an elite in EA, he certainly knows how to fix it, if there are parts.
"It didn't hit me, but the shrapnel hit my right leg, if it weren't for Yang Ping's sudden appearance and dragged me away, I must be lying outside now, tsk, the human body is really fragile, this guy was also blown up, I thought he was going to finish playing, who knew that this guy could actually heal himself." Owen said and gave Yang Ping a fist in a feigned anger, as if he felt unfair to the different circumstances.
"I didn't know at the time, didn't you see me lying lying and waiting to die, who would have thought that I would still live." Yang Ping said.
"Okay, let's get down to business, I've heard everything you guys got out outside, Brother Wu Mo, you're also an evolutionary, right?" Owen turned the conversation back in time.
"Huh?! No, I'm an ordinary person, even though I belong to an evolutionary organization. Wu Mo wondered, he didn't say that all the evolutionaries in the evolutionary organization were evolutionaries.
"Are you sure?!" Owen asked rhetorically, Yang Ping on the side also behaved strangely, he raised his hand and used his mobile phone to unfold a picture, in which Wu Mo was using a hand-held blaster to shoot a terrifying robot in chaos, the image was zoomed in, and there was a hole in the leg of his spacesuit, I don't know when it was done.
"We've got a couple of working cameras up there, and in this one your spacesuit is broken, so you're exposed to intense radiation for at least a minute, and you're so anxious that you probably didn't even notice the infiltration alarm."
"So you suspect I'm an evolutionary?" When Wu Mo saw this scene, there was a cold sweat in the back of his head, he really didn't notice that when he found the enemy, he couldn't care about it so much, and he did feel strange, because it had only been five minutes after entering the radiation zone, but his body's reaction was extremely strong, it turned out that the problem was here.
"Ordinary people will be severely burned and eroded when the spacesuit is torn, and it will make him completely incapacitated in ten seconds, and only the evolutionary can last longer."
"Maybe it's just my luck, I really don't have any ability, otherwise it would be so embarrassing." Wu Mo said.
"Okay, but I don't believe in luck, maybe you have more contacts with evolutionaries in the evolutionary organization, so there are some changes, maybe ...... I don't care, I want to ask you for a favor for us. Owen said.
"I'm here to help you." Wu Mo said as a matter of course.
"You'd better hear it first." Owen switched the projection, this time a picture of the sky dome after a nuclear explosion, the camera very far away from the target, and it became extremely blurry as it zoomed in.
"At the end of the day, it's still the battery that has given us a headache countless times, we don't lack food, we don't lack water, you brought medicine, the only thing we lack is energy, the battery in the air circulation machine on the sky dome has not been damaged, if we can get it, our final problem will be solved."
"Can't you just pick it up?" Wu Mo asked.
"There is serious radiation there, Mr. Yang Ping has tried many times, the main thing is that the space where the batteries are stored has enough structures to resist a nuclear explosion, so that when the explosion occurs, a small number of robots hide in it, radiation is only a matter of time, but the enemy is the most fatal problem."
"If it's an open space, I can directly ask the intelligence to activate the space shuttle to destroy them, if the space is closed, my spaceship doesn't have the right weapons, and it is very likely that the entire area will be destroyed with one shot."
Zila∽
The light suddenly dimmed, suddenly brightened again, and then slowly recovered, and the three of them regained their vision, this time a little dimmer than before.
The survivors' energy sources are not far from running out, and the energy that is only available for the lighting system all year round is now close to a thousand people to survive, which is a bit of a stretch.
If they don't find a new source of energy, they can't hold on to it at all.
"I have figured out the situation there, if Brother Wu Mo is willing to accompany me on a trip, I am sure of success, you can hold out longer than ordinary people in the radiation area, I can only ask you to help, in short, we can understand if you refuse." Yang Ping's eyes were full of sincerity and expectation, he really had no choice, he had already tried what he could.
Wu Mo didn't speak, he stood up and walked over, carefully observing the plants that were struggling to grow here, they were well cared for.
Behind the plastic sheeting is where the survivors stay, they all gather outside, waiting for the results inside, living here for so long, what is going on in their hearts.
Wu Mo really wanted to smoke a cigarette, but it was not suitable here, so he suppressed this thought, he could now walk away, the battery or something was beyond the scope of his task.
"I can go back to Earth and bring energy." Wu Mo said.
"Not all batteries can be used here, as far as I know, there are no batteries on the planet that can be used here, and retrofitting the energy access requires a lot of tools, and we don't have the right technicians."
No, it's a pity!
"If you really think I'm better than anyone else for your plans, then let's go." Wu Mo gritted his teeth and made up his mind, he was not a hero, he just didn't have the courage to give up that life.
