Chapter 131: Shelter
Cleared of the roadblocks, the convoy set off again in the pouring rain, carefully rounding the large pothole in the middle of the road, and driving more slowly in the direction of the palace.
Zhang Chujiu, who was in the back of the leading classical British-style RV, was completely soaked, and his arm on one side was still naked, looking at the dark rain curtain outside the windshield, and said in a respectful and worried tone: "Butler Charlie, the one who stopped the convoy just now was an elemental life with an extraordinary level of 5 or 6, right?"
Do you know its name, such an elemental life that is rare in the Shroud, if it is captured by a living person and transported out of the Shroud, it is good that it escapes unexpectedly.
If it was born directly from the streets of London, wouldn't the whole world be in chaos?"
As he spoke, he activated the 'Great Sun and Heaven' supernatural power, and his whole body became hot like a furnace, evaporating all the moisture in his wet clothes.
Charlie turned his head to see Zhang Chujiu's face that was caught in the diffuse steam, and thought with some surprise, "First the whole body liquefied, then the ice was made at a low temperature, then the limbs healed themselves, and now it is evaporated at a high temperature."
This young man from the mysterious East has a wide variety of extraordinary abilities. But he replied nonchalantly: "The elemental life that blocked our way just now is the humanoid void beast 'Mudstone Warrior' from the 'Fairy Lake' Void Realm.
The strength is slightly stronger than you estimate, about between level 6 and 7 transcendent lifeforms.
I can't say for sure why it appeared on the streets of London, but it was probably just an accident, not a harbinger of chaos for the whole Blue Star. ”
The reason why Zhang Chujiu became very respectful of Charlie and took the initiative to ask him to solve his doubts was because he saw that he easily killed the armor life, and speculated that Charlie's strength should have reached the level of high-level transcendent life.
Hearing Charlie's answer, Zhang Chujiu found that this elegant, capable and powerful aristocratic butler may be perfect as a steward, but he does not think about problems for a long time and is conservative, and has no talent to break the barriers of thinking, so he feels that he is a little overestimated him, so he stopped silent and fell silent.
The convoy continued to move forward in the torrential rain, and finally came to the neighborhood where Buckingham Palace, where the British royal family usually lived, but it was impossible to approach it because of the crowd of traffic outside the palace.
In the era of interstellar democracy, the British royal family has become a national symbol rather than a ruler of real power, so although the royal palace is guarded by guards, it is not forbidden for citizens to approach it on weekdays.
It seems that in addition to the panic caused by the natural disaster, many people rushed to the palace with the same thoughts as the residents of 11 Popton Street, so that this abnormal congestion situation was formed.
Fortunately, the government's rescuers have already started the evacuation, and the traffic continues to slowly leave.
After waiting for a while, someone gently knocked on the glass of the driver's seat of the RV where Zhang Chujiu was sitting, and after the window fell, he asked formulaically: "How many people are sitting in the car, how many men and women, how many adults, how many children?"
"There were a total of 7 people in the car, 4 men and 3 women, 6 of whom were in the compartment and 1 was on the roof. Bob replied clearly, "The three ladies and the two of us are adults, and the remaining two are young men of about fourteen or fifteen years old." ”
Outside the window, a government employee wearing a special black rainproof jacket and a big head covered in the hood of a raincoat blurted out in astonishment: "One is on the roof of the car...", and when he looked up, he found that there was a teenager wearing close-fitting armor standing on the roof of the car, and he couldn't help choking.
"Sir, I and Lord Charlie in the passenger seat are bodyguards and butlers serving the Wellington family," Bob hurriedly explained, "Standing on the roof of the car is Young Master Credner of the Wellington Earl's family.
Because he has powerful supernatural powers and treasures, he takes the initiative to stay on the roof of the car and guard our safety. ”
"Oh, I see, what a noble aristocratic sentiment. Hearing this, the government employee outside the car hesitated for a few seconds, praised Wellington in a tone of mental illness, and then took out 21 jelly stick-like hoses from his satchel and handed them to Bob: "Teenagers over the age of 14 are treated as adults, so 7 people will give you 21 measuring sticks."
No one eats three meals a day, which is just enough to replenish the nutrients and water that people need for a whole day.
Your car has been assigned to shelter YU087, turn on the navigator and I'll transmit you a coordinate, rush over as soon as possible, settle down, have a good rest, maybe wake up and the rain will stop. ”
"Sir, we have come in a convoy with a lot of companions, can we be assigned to the same shelter?" said Charlie, who was in the passenger seat, politely pleaded.
"I'm sorry Your Excellency," the government employee shook his head in embarrassment, "There is an unknown number of cars stuck in traffic outside the palace, and it is impossible for us to take care of everyone's needs in such an emergency.
We can only use the vehicle as a unit for grooming, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to fulfill your request, so we hope that you can understand. ”
"Oh, of course, my request is so rude that I should ask for your pardon. After being rejected, Charlie did not rely on the golden sign of the Wellington family to continue to demand, but more politely blamed himself, showing the humble demeanor and temperament of the wealthy and aristocratic butler who has been inherited for hundreds of years.
After that, Bob turned on the RV's navigation system, recorded a new section of coordinates through wireless transmission, said goodbye to the government employee, restarted the car, and slowly turned according to the newly entered navigation content, heading towards the YU087 shelter.
There are constantly vehicles converging on the road, and it is necessary to avoid those cars that have been directly scrapped on the road because of the heavy rain and the road is slippery and the line of sight is too fast, and the cars that are directly scrapped on the road have been tossed for more than an hour, and Zhang Chujiu and others finally arrived at the destination.
The YU087 shelter is built underground, and the scale of the shelter is not too large according to the specifications of the shelter, but the internal nuclear power supply system, large-scale oxygen autopometer, soilless vegetables, grain production base, groundwater purification system, domestic garbage disposal system and other livelihood support systems are readily available.
According to the design standards, in the event of a natural disaster or war disaster that is difficult for ordinary citizens to resist, it can accommodate 20,000 people to hide 50 to 300 meters underground and live safely for 50 years.
The gate of the shelter was built on a huge concrete platform dozens of meters above the ground, apparently considering the possibility of flooding, which was necessary in the interstellar age when meteorological weapons were no longer rare.
Coming to the civic square outside the evacuation center, the car had to be thrown under a high platform made of reinforced concrete.
Zhang Chujiu pushed the door and got out of the car, not wanting to mix with Wellington and the others who had a habit of moral cleanliness, so he walked a few steps quickly and blended into the flow of people who staggered in the rain and rushed to the cement platform, and after a while, he went up to the high platform and walked into the inclined road that led directly to the underground.
