Chapter 275: Living Underground

"You say." There is no such thing as a big problem, as if he knew that this was a mausoleum of an ancient royal family, so he dug it up excitedly, almost turned over the whole mountain, and had entered the mausoleum, but suddenly someone jumped out to tell you that in fact, this royal mausoleum, which was buried, was just a far away royal family that had no wealth.

Then you clearly understand that the dream of gold and silver antiques in your dreams has been lost.

Zhou Yuanqiang's current situation is like this, after spending so much effort and risking great danger, he finally arrived here, and saw what was readily available, but he was told that there was nothing you wanted here. This kind of instantaneous blow is like a thunderbolt that will definitely make you want to die.

Facing the loss of color, cough cough, it should be said that Zhou Yuanqiang's face has become ugly, fortunately, the light in the underground layer is very dark, otherwise it is estimated that the two of them will be depressed.

Li Xiaomo didn't see anything wrong, and said seriously: "Of course not, think about it, all over the country, almost all the largest cities, there are mints and banknote printing companies, if they all master the technology of printing money, do you think the secret of money can still be kept?" The world is crazy, as long as there are too many fierce interests, even if you know that it is death, a lot of people will rush over. ”

When it came to this, as if he had found a person to talk to, Li Xiaomo said "crackling": "Generally speaking, like the mint and the banknote printing company, they will only start printing after they are authorized. Like technology, it is generally not handed over directly, but through a special channel

"Stop

Zhou Yuanqiang faced the chattering Li Xiaomo and shouted.

Suddenly, this stop word, in the basement of the negative second floor, kept going back and forth, and the echo produced made Zhou Yuanqiang's stop word become like a lion skill, which was deafening, and he almost fell to the ground softly. In fact, the two of them, Li Xiaomo and Dai Lili, who were cold and unguarded, fell to the ground softly, and they were almost the same.

Zhou Yuanqiang didn't feel guilty or anything, but patted Li Xiaomo's shoulder affectionately, and said in the voice of the big bad wolf to tempt Little Red Riding Hood: "I heard that you are from the central bank to guide the research technology here?" That is to say, what are you skilled in coinage? ”

Li Xiaomo was taken aback by this futile affection, and said: "Let me tell you, I have someone I like, that is, Lily next to me, don't you play with me, I don't like this." As he spoke, he also expressed his loyalty and said to Dai Lili: "Sheli, my loyalty to you is definitely worthy of the sun and the moon." ”

"My day!"

After Zhou Yuanqiang was speechless, he could only come out with this classic scolding, sharp eyesight, and Li Xiaomo's flattering face. "This kid has been a genius since he was a child, it should be said that in terms of emotional intelligence, he should be an idiot, how can he bubble up a girl, so good at it" The law of genius should not be like this. ”

There was no way, Zhou Yuanqiang, who was entangled, had no choice but to take out the killer copper, hehe sneered, and said, "Xiaomo, and Lihe, let's discuss something." ”

Li Xiaomo seemed a little indifferent, and said, "Come less, Lily, let's hurry back." In this ghost weather, it rains at every turn, and the road is getting harder and harder to walk, and in case of heavy rain, there is no way to use the sewer. ”

After a few minutes of walking, I finally walked around and walked to an inconspicuous corner of a basement on the second floor.

And Li Xiaomo easily pushed a small counter open and opened a small iron door inside. Pause. The sound of running water and dripping water was heard, and a strange smell with a thick dampness rushed out of here. It's just that this smell that made Zhou Yuanqiang frown had no effect on Li Xiaomo and Dai Lili, but they drilled directly into the small iron gate.

"Dead Xiaomo, you must have lied to me. What kind of helicopter, I think you're trying to trick me into coming here to help you hit the *flying* plane, right? You bastard."

The fierce scolding made Li Xiaomo embarrassed, and while stepping on the edge of the sewer, he said: "I really saw it, if I really want to deceive you, I won't lie to you to such a dangerous place, right?" I want to live a few more years. ”

Zhou Yuanqiang thought about it, but he still slid down into the sewer with them, and suddenly the smell was stronger, and there was water under his feet, so he entered the sewer, and there was water dripping down on his head and clothes, which made Zhou Yuanqiang very uncomfortable.

When Li Xiaomo saw Zhou Yuanqiang coming down, he closed the small iron door casually and said: "It's very silent here, the water vapor is very heavy, and there is no way to use the torches, so follow me carefully, be careful if you get lost, you just wait to be starved to death here." As he spoke, he directly took Dai Lili's hand and walked forward, and Dai Lili didn't seem to object this time, because she was not familiar with this place.

Zhou Yuanqiang finally learned a trick from Li Xiaomo, at least when there was no way. Can be above board oil.

But" Zhou Yuanqiang smiled evilly, and took out his flashlight from the storage space. Undoubtedly, a snow-white beam of light appeared, and in vain it stopped in the sewer where the outstretched fingers were almost missing. Poor Li Xiaomo and Dai Sheli were once again gorgeously frightened, and they fell directly into the river of the sewer and became real soup chickens.

But when Li Xiaomo, who fell into the water, struggled to climb up to the side of the sewer, he didn't blame Haiqiang, but opened his eyes wide. Said! "You... You have a flashlight, you have this thing, why didn't you take it out earlier? I'm worried about whether I'll go the wrong way. ”

Seeing Li Xiaomo say this, Zhou Yuanqiang had to bring up the old matter again, he said: "Didn't you want to find a helicopter before? ”

Li Pamo said: "So what? ”

Zhou Yuanqiang gestured and said, "Don't you see that I am different from you?" Thinking about our previous encounters, with your IQ, it shouldn't be difficult to connect with anything, right? ”

Being reminded by Zhou Yuanqiang, Li Xiaomo finally faced up to this problem, he thought about it carefully, suddenly patted his head, pointed at Zhou Yuanqiang and said: "I was saying before that only I know about this passage, and the black fire is blind." How could you possibly show up. He suddenly became excited and said, "I'm really not mistaken, you, you are the one who flew the helicopter?" Isn't it, isn't it? ”

Even Dai Lihe, who was next to her, had her eyes wide open and covered her mouth lightly.

Zhou Yuanqiang admitted generously and said, "That's right, the helicopter you saw before was indeed me." That's what I wanted to discuss with you just now. So, if I have something to say, I'm here to speak. is for the coinage technology, and you, Li Xiaomo, are in control of this technology, since we all need each other's things, it is better to exchange them. I can take the two of you out of the city, and you have to work for me, which is to hand over all the technology in the coinage. ”

At this moment, Li Xiaomo, who had just picked up a girl like a gangster, squinted his eyes, revealing a genius eye, and said: "I'm very strange, in this last world, why do you need this coinage technology." If you change it before, you can eat prison for the rest of your life just by relying on your words. ”

"Huh,"

Zhou Yuanqiang laughed, when it comes to shrewdness, maybe he is far from being his opponent, but now that he is in a certain high position, what has he not seen? The so-called sky-high asking price, the same as paying back the money on the ground, this Li Xiaomo seems to be not only satisfied with taking only the two of them away. "A helicopter can only carry up to ten people away, and that's all I can guarantee

Who knew that Li Xiaomo was shaking and said: "No, you underestimate my IQ too much, since you have the ability to come here, you will definitely have the ability to leave with more people, the key is whether you are willing to help this one." He also understood how many zombies there were in this city, and he said: "We don't have a lot of people, only more than 800 people, as long as you can bring everyone to where you are, I, Li Xiaomo, will hand over this hundred catties of meat to you." ”

In fact, this condition is not harsh, more than 800 people, for Zhou Yuanqiang, it is nothing at all, as long as the Hercules transport airship is driven over, they can be taken away at one time.

Of course, Hercules' goal is too big, and I am afraid that it will alarm the zombies of the entire city at that time.

Zhou Yuanqiang thought for a while and said, "This problem won't be very big, but I want to see where you live first, otherwise I won't be able to make a decision." You also know that the population of Chengchuan City is 13 million, so many zombies, what kind of terrifying alienated zombies are produced, we have no way to predict. I don't want my people to come and take risks, you know? ”

With Zhou Yuanqiang's ability, in fact, there is no need to negotiate conditions with Li Mo at all, a knife hand can solve them, and then bring them back to the Chamber of Commerce, with Xu Yuhai, the intelligence leader, the means are definitely seventy-two changes, and it is guaranteed that those who want to die will obediently explain all the secrets.

The reason why he agreed to this somewhat ridiculous condition was that Zhou Yuanqiang was just curious about how these more than 300 people in this city survived.

With a consensus, Li Xiaomo took Zhou Yuanqiang's flashlight and led the way in front. With the light, it is indeed going fast. Li Xiaomo said: "In the past six years, the sewer has no artificial domestic water, and after several years of rain, it has long lost its smell, and the sludge has been washed away. It's the rainy season in winter, and there is a lot of water in the sewers, so in the summer and autumn, the sewers will be very dry. We live here, mainly in the summer and autumn, trying to find food, and in the winter and spring in the shelter where we live.

Zhou Yuanqiang asked: "In the past few years, the food must have been seriously damaged, what do you feed on?" ”

Li Xiaomo explained: "In the shelter where we live, there is enough food and water for 10,000 people to live for a year and a half, and now 800 of us are crazy, plus what we usually go out to harvest, enough for us to live in peace until now." But what you said is not wrong, there are fewer and fewer places to find food outside, and a lot of food, even if it is well packaged, has spoiled. ”

The sewers are very complicated, and sometimes there are several intersections, but Li Xiaomo has made all the markings, so he doesn't have to worry about going wrong.

"In the past six years, the only place we have been able to move has been the sewers. But we didn't have a blueprint, so we had to rely on making marks and slowly exploring ways to expand the area of our activities. There are actually many places that can be reached through the sewers. But the location of the sewers is usually under the street, and there are many zombies on it, and there is no way for us to go to it. There are only a handful of places that can be found on the edge of a tall building, or on the edge of a basement. ”

The refuge is a little far from here, otherwise it wouldn't be behind the existing hisirs; nbsp; After turning many corners, finally after Li Xiaomo arrived, in a huge pipe in the sewer, Li Xiaomo took the lead in getting in. Wait until you finish climbing this pipe and appear in a dry pool underground.

"Well man?"

There was a loud shout, and soon several people gathered around, and several guns were pointed at the bottom of the pool. However, after seeing that it was not a zombie that came out, but Li Xiaomo, those people breathed a sigh of relief, and one of them scolded: "Li Xiaomo, you are so bold, you dare to steal my gun?" "This person should be the old man Zhao in Li Xiaomo's mouth.

"Ah, Old Man Zhao!" Li Xiaomo drilled out. shook the ** clothes, shook the flashlight in his hand, and said proudly: "Don't fight yet, I have good news to tell you." ”

Who knows if the person next to him laughs, Xiaomo, what good news can you have? Wouldn't it just tell us that you managed to catch up with Lihe? There are a lot of similar words, and it can be seen that Li Xiaomo's status here should be like a pistachio, otherwise there would not be so many people laughing so kindly.

Li Xiaomo smiled helplessly and said, "I thought it was news, but Lily hasn't agreed to my pursuit yet." ”

With Zhou Yuanqiang this. A complete stranger appeared, and everyone began to realize that Li Xiaomo was not joking just now, but what was the good news he was talking about? Could it be that someone has come to free them from this cage? You must know that living here for six years is the same as being in prison for six years, and it is even more painful than being in prison.

The person who was called Old Man Zhao by Li Xiaomo excitedly grabbed Li Xiaomo's collar and said, "What is the good news you are talking about, tell me quickly!" ”

The people here have long been dead set on the outside world, and from the first year's expectation, they expect that there are survivors who will remember them and rescue them. But they waited a year. I was disappointed by expectations. And the second year passed, and they turned from disappointment to despair, and by the fourth year, they were completely dead, and no one brought up the topic of leaving here again, because it was a taboo.

But he was already desperate, but in this cage-like shelter, he couldn't do anything but eat, drink, and sleep, and inevitably, everyone fantasized about being able to get out of here, and although no one said the idea, everyone understood what everyone was thinking.

Now that it's the sixth year of the last days, they don't know what's going on in the outside world, like birds trapped here, they don't know anything.

Especially as the food is about to run out, the panic starts to spread here, and no one knows what will happen after the food is eaten. Maybe everyone starved to death in this, or maybe everyone showed the courage to fight for their lives and find a way to rush out? But what to rush, this is a densely populated area of Chengchuan City, and the streets are full of zombies.

In the early days, I also organized manpower to open the sewer to escape, but in the sewer, there were also zombies, and the manpower was demolished several times, so that the heart to continue trying became lighter, and no one wanted to continue to die.

Originally, this desperate heart suddenly saw an outsider come in, which meant something, and it meant that they had a chance to leave here. Faced with the news that has been waiting for six years, who is not excited? The hope that was born in that moment made everyone become quick and incoherent. Zhou Yuanqiang even maliciously thought that if he told them that he was also trapped here, would they faint and go into shock because of the roller coaster?

To be honest, no matter how good the ventilation system of the shelter is, the smell produced over the past six years is so special that it makes people vomit.

Maybe the people who live here are used to this smell, but for Zhou Yuanqiang, it is like being hit by a stink bomb.

This pool is located inside the shelter, and of course it was designed as a purification tank. Unexpectedly, it was a passage to the outside world that allowed the people here. Like the door of the shelter, it has been closed and has not been opened in six years.

It's not that they don't want to, but they don't dare, there are so many zombies outside.

In order to survive, the people in the shelter are very careful, trying not to let the zombies outside know that there is someone here, don't forget, the existence of giant zombies, the door in the shelter can't stop them. This kind of trembling life will make people very tired, and living in it is afraid of making a loud enough noise to cause a catastrophe.

The entire hall of the sanctuary was chaotic. Then there are the small rooms that are densely packed, which are supposed to be where they live.

With the existence of this sewer mouth, their material is slightly richer, at least in terms of clothing and use, which can be obtained from some housing in the outside world, and there is no phenomenon of wearing tattered clothes in other settlements in the last days.

Facing Old Man Zhao's questioning, as well as the countless hot eyes that had already heard the letter surrounding him, Li Xiaomo knew that if they couldn't say a reason, they would have to tear themselves apart. But it doesn't matter, Li Xiaomo believes that they will definitely be crazy when they learn the news, because this is indeed a big news today.
