Chapter 6: Underground Shelters
"Just sit on the edge of the bed, don't stand all the time, wait a moment and then tell me the destination, I'll make up first."
Pingping said as she sat down next to the dresser, carefully observing her face in the mirror, while pursing her lips and raising the corners of her eyebrows.
Li Kaishan sat on the bed as soon as he sat on the bed, a greasy and sweet smell came from the sheets, he sniffed with his nose, and looked at Pingping with his eyes, Pingping saw Li Kaishan's nervousness, scratching his ears and cheeks from the mirror, and couldn't help but smile.
Li Muyun didn't sit down, he was still looking around at the space he was in, trying to find more novel things.
"Are you wondering? How the hell did it take off? There's not even a console, it's just a room. Pingping looked at Li Muyun's every move through the mirror and spoke.
"Yes, is it controlled by thoughts? Go wherever you want? I think your dresser is the worktop. Li Muyun asked.
"Poof...... Pingping couldn't help laughing, "Imagination is good, but this dresser is really just a dresser, I picked it up from the ruins of a supermarket in a city, in fact, you were right from the beginning, it just depends on thought." ”
"Huh? Are you sure? ”
At this time, the large rape field suddenly disappeared from the front of the eyes, and a large map appeared, and a green exclamation mark kept flashing on a certain coordinate.
Li Muyun pointed to the flickering coordinates of the map and said, "That's right, this is where we are now, and the place we go should be below it, the edge of a forest composed of big purple trees."
The picture began to zoom in in an instant, and they even saw this flying saucer on the screen, and then the map moved down quickly, over the city, over the prairie, and the wall he had leaned on before gradually appeared in front of them as Li Muyun kept correcting the coordinates up and down.
Yes, they live in the shelter under this wall, 318 people, all of them stay in this underground world, at the edge of this forest, not only can avoid the carpet scanning of the big robots on the grassland, but also with manual intervention, to prevent the underground facilities from being destroyed by the purple trees in the forest, not far away, there is a small river, through the secret channel to divert a small part of the underground world, so as to provide them with enough water.
"This is it!" Li Kaishan pointed to the wall and said.
At this time, they felt the flying saucer vibrate a little slightly, Pingping sat there and dotted the corners of her eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil a few times, pursed her lips again, and said, "It's here, let's go down." ”
"You have to be careful later, the Gold Swallowing Beast is very powerful, I will protect you." Li Kaishan began to be attentive again.
"You're talking about the cleaners? They have names, not big robots, gold swallowers, purple trees or whatever, but reapers, cleaners, and transformers, which is not my name, they are translated as such names. Pingping said.
"Yes, yes, whatever you call it, Cleaner...... It's very powerful, we can't beat it, we all rely on my brother's various means to kill it, originally there are more of us than this, there are always people who can't stand the loneliness, so they have to run to the ground to bask in the sun for a while, and they never come back. Li Kaishan's tone became heavy again.
As the two spoke, the flying saucer was slowly spit out and landed on the ground as if it had been sucked in before.
The strange thing is that a few dozen meters in front of them, there was a gold-swallowing beast patrolling, but like a blind man, he turned a blind eye to their appearance, and let the three of them go straight to the broken wall.
If you look closely, this broken wall is not made of sand and stone, nor is it a steel structure, but it is covered with a little sand and dust on the outside, and it is actually thick and tightly wooded together.
Li Muyun found a drawstring on the wall, and with a hard pull, a very simple small door was lifted from the ground, revealing a black hole.
"Let's go down." Li Muyun looked at them.
Li Kaishan was the first to drill down, Pingping followed closely behind him, after Li Muyun broke off, the size of this cave mouth happened to be only able to accommodate a new human to pass through, if the old human was crawling in it, it would be more spacious, but the hole could only be so big, just to prevent the gold swallowing beast from finding and drilling in, so that facing them would be a massacre without fighting back, fortunately, so far, this cave has not been discovered by the gold swallowing beast, those old humans who died in order to bask in the sun, often when they escaped, Before he could get close to the hole, he was torn apart.
The three of them crawled down the slope for about ten meters, and the tunnel became more and more wide, from crawling to downhill, and finally completely became walking on the ground, and a spacious underground world appeared in front of them.
This is a refuge in the old era, originally built of pure reinforced concrete, there are countless similar shelters on the earth, but in the end they are almost all eroded by the pervasive purple tree, this underground world can be preserved intact, first, it mainly depends on its location on the edge of the purple tree's growth, the invasion of the roots is carried out from one side, not a large-scale infiltration, so it is much less difficult to stop it. Second, it met someone who knew how to use wood to stop the roots from seeping in. As early as the third year after the nuclear explosion, when the coverage of the purple tree had not yet reached here, Li Muyun discovered this secret, so he collected a large amount of wood everywhere, separated the fan-shaped surface of the purple tree invasion with dense wood, and sent people to manually prune the roots that seeped out of the gap between the wood to prevent its spread.
At the same time, this area is also a blind spot for the big robot to perform carpet scanning, and it will not re-scan the coverage area of the purple tree, so the biggest threat is useless.
The lights are bright, and more than a dozen large ventilation fans are working non-stop through countless small ventilation ducts that extend to the ground, and the power resources seem to be very redundant, and the air is not stuffy and humid, but very dry. It's not what Pinkie originally imagined, it's pitch black everywhere, and all humans live where they can't see their fingers.
"I found that you are really a very wise new human, my father said, although our new human beings have made a great leap in physical fitness compared to the old humans, but the improvement in intelligence is quite limited, not only did you find the horns of the cleaners, the kind of metal synthesized by living beings, which can cause damage to alien robots, but also know that wooden things can completely prevent the invasion of the transformers, and what is especially valuable is that the electricity released by the roots of the transformers can also be used by you, It successfully solves the survival needs of human beings for energy. ”
"Is it hard? These are obvious things, and I found out about this problem back when I was doing root quarantine, so too many of us were electrified, so we built a transformer station, and now we use it to boil water for cooking, to provide light and heat to the plants underground, and even to play games, of course, because we don't have a network connection. Li Muyun replied quietly.
"No, brother, we have a local area network, last time we teamed up to play a game and lost to Zhou Xiaolong, we must beat them today." Li Kaishan said excitedly.
