Chapter 168: Construction Sites
……………………………………………………………………………………
It was only a little more than ten seconds between starting the elevator and the top floor, and everyone took advantage of the few moments to take a small rest.
Ding dong!
Has it arrived?
Everyone slowly opened their eyes and took a deep breath, as if they were palpitating after a major event.
"Okay, sooner or later, I'll go out first, you guys follow behind, don't fall behind." Constance said solemnly.
"Okay." The crowd nodded.
Bang......
The lift door slowly opened, revealing a wide passage in front of you, with energy-saving lights overhead.
When I saw the lights, I finally felt a little relieved.
"Let's go, there's a staircase at the end of this passage, and when you go up, you'll be on the ground." Constance said slowly.
"By the way, maybe your eyes are not too comfortable when you go out, after all, we have been staying underground for nearly half a day, so it is recommended that you cover the uncomfortable place with your hands when you go out."
"Okay, okay, got it."
"I just want to go out and have a good meal right now, my stomach is rumbling with hunger now, and I'm going to starve to death if I don't eat."
Carl laughed, patted his stomach and said.
Soon, the crowd came to the end and slowly took the first class, and the top of the staircase was the exit.
They already felt the surging emotions in their hearts, like a raging tide, which could not be stopped.
That's all human longing for light.
They are normal people, and they are no exception.
"There's a lid here, come and open it for me." Constance looked at everyone and beckoned.
"I'll do it, I have more strength, and it's easier to implement."
Carl walked out of the queue and said with a smile.
"I'll count to three."
“3”
“2”
“1”
"Moving !!"
The two of them exerted force at the same time, and soon pushed the cover away and fell aside.
"Alright, let's get out."
Without the barrier of a lid, the sunlight swayed down from the sky, dispelling all the gloom on everyone's faces.
Constance looked up in satisfaction, slightly covering it with his palm, and showed a smile for the first time in a long time.
It was a smile that came from the bottom of my heart.
The sun wasn't very warm, but it was enough for everyone.
Seeing the sun tomorrow morning means that they have lived another day.
There is nothing happier in the world than to be alive.

"Ahem, there's a lot of dust here......"
"Because this is a construction site, don't you see, some cranes around, and reinforced concrete, and some special materials, and this unfinished building in front of us, isn't this a construction site?"
"Looks like it's ...... again"
"Alright, now that we've confirmed that we've left the underground space, let's do one thing for now." Constance raised his index finger and said solemnly.
"Tell me something."
And they all gathered around him, and stood around him, and listened to him.
"We have to find out which area of the city we are in, otherwise it will be a big deal to get lost, our supplies are all exhausted now, and if we can't find a stronghold, we are no different from some wandering survivors."
"So we have to make sure that we are in that place first, and we have a reference position, then it will be much more convenient for us to go back to the stronghold."
After speaking, he took out the bottle and took a sip of water, looking at everyone quietly.
"Do you have any good ideas, bring it up and see."
Karl nodded and said:
"We all understand this truth, as for the good way......"
"Actually, it's very simple, far away in front of you, isn't this high-rise building connecting heaven and earth the best reference?"
"Look, it's right there!"
He pointed over there and said.
Everyone looked over and suddenly realized.
That's right!
Why didn't I think of it just now, this is the most obvious reference.
No matter where you are in the city, you can see this super high-rise, which was the symbol of the whole city of Heaton at that time, and at the same time the heart of the city.
"But it's a bit far......," Rosa muttered.
Just by looking at the distance, it seemed that it was very far away, and I am afraid that it would take nearly two days to walk unhindered, and if they did not sleep, I am afraid that they would die halfway through.
After all, now that their supplies have been exhausted, if they don't replenish them, they will first face the situation of running out of ammunition and food.
"Still, if you have enough supplies, you can't do it."
"Anyway, we're not in a hurry for a while, we can take our time in this matter, but we have to settle tonight's food first." Kiss said.
"Well, you're right."
"But this neighborhood looks like it's barren, it seems to be a not so prosperous area, probably some old towns, and there are many such places in Heaton."
"If we start collecting supplies now, with the strength of our group, we should be able to get everything done before dark."
Constance said, looking at the sky, it was about ten o'clock in the morning, and there were still two hours before noon.
They have plenty of time, and it's okay to spend some of it on their plans.
"But there doesn't seem to be any plan to make......" he muttered to himself.
After all, they don't have a map of this area, so they can only touch it blindly.
"Maps are really important, without them, we are like a blind man now, and it has become so difficult to even collect supplies."
"Alright, now we'll count the weapons and supplies in our backpacks, and we'll be off in ten minutes."
After that, everyone sat in the corner and quietly checked all the items in their backpacks.
"It's really exhausted......" he exhaled, his gaze long and far-reaching.
Now Karl has a knapsack with only a few things left, including half a bottle of water, a spare set of clothes, shoes, and a saber and, of course, a pistol without bullets.
But this obviously doesn't work.
A pistol without bullets is not much stronger than a lump of scrap metal.
"It's so poor now......" he sighed.
Ten minutes later, everyone was assembled, everyone had packed their bags and was ready to go.
Surrounded by the old city, they can even foresee the situation of not having one in ten supplies, although they will not back down, but it will be a stumbling block after all.
"Let's go here, although it seems to be a little more barren here, but because of this, we may be able to gather more supplies."
