Chapter 585: What a peaceful and beautiful new world
"118 years...... We have been hibernated for more than a century! "Sheldon's mental arithmetic over there is fast.
"I don't know what the outside world is like now...... " the girl Isabelle sighed in a tone of emotion.
"You should already be able to get out, right?" The big-eyed Xiao Ka obviously has a certain foundation in Chinese: "I see that it is written on it is normal." ”
"Let's go, let's see where the exit is." In a group of Chinese people, Jimmy always seemed a little uncomfortable, and now that he had finished reading everything he should see, there was naturally no need to stay, so he decisively gave the order to retreat.
Walking out of the glass house, the group followed Jimmy to the edge of the square not far away, and there were eight iron doors on the wall on the edge, and they chose the one with fewer people at the door.
In front of that door, a group of Chinese people were huddled at the door, not knowing what they were doing.
As he approached, Jimmy heard their slogans.
"One, two, three...... Hard! ”
"One, two, three...... Come on! ”
"One, two, three...... Hard! Yes! ”
……
As he got closer, Jimmy realized that they were battling a ring-shaped hinge disc on the iron door.
This is obviously not an electronic door, and there is no trace of any electronic equipment in the surrounding area, and the door is also very large, and it looks very thick, like the metal security door used in bank vaults, but the only thing that makes people care is the hinged disc under the center of the iron door.
It looks similar to the steering wheel used on ships to control the direction of the ship, but it is simpler, with a ring-shaped steel ring connected to a steel post inserted into the door in the middle, and a protruding handle on the steel ring.
And the four sturdiest-looking young men in the group were grabbing a handle and trying to turn it to open the door. I just don't know if it's because of the lack of strength, or if it's the wrong direction of rotation, the noose coil doesn't move at all.
Jimmy looked back at the gates in several other directions in the square, two of which had already been opened, and groups of Chinese people with large bags and small bags were walking towards the dark doors.
The eight doors are in eight directions, it is conceivable that the places leading to are also different, the two open doors go to so many people, once they arrive at the surface, the competition they face must be very large, it is better to wait here, wait for the door to open, and take this passage with fewer people.
So, Jimmy didn't move and began to communicate his thoughts with his companions in English.
However, after waiting for several minutes, the iron door was still not opened, and even the slogans shouted by the Chinese people who had opened the door there were a little weak.
"I can't stand it anymore!" Ivanov, the Russian man over there, winked at his companion Julian, and the two of them walked towards the iron gate.
Jimmy hurriedly followed with a few other people.
After some difficult negotiations, the group of Chinese retreated and went to the open door on the other side, giving it to Jimmy and his party.
There is a limited space next to the hinge disc for everyone to use their strength, so there are still four people, namely the sturdy Ivanov and Julian, as well as Jimmy and another relatively strong Tom.
The door next to the hinge disc is engraved with the direction of force, which is open to the right and closed to the left.
"Finish, spit, Sirui!" Jimmy shouted, and the four of them worked together to turn the hinge disc to the right.
It's a pity that after a long time, the hinge disc still doesn't move.
"One more time!" Jimmy shouted encouragement: "End, vomit, Sri!" ”
"I think it's probably rusty inside." The pretty girl Isabelle gives her opinion.
"I've got industrial lubricants here!" Shoka next to him patted his head and rummaged through his backpack.
……
After a while, finally, the hinged disc was turned around by four panting people, and with a "click", it was circle after circle, getting better and better.
After turning more than 30 times, there was another "click", and the hinge disc could not rotate.
The four continued to exert themselves, but this time instead of turning the hinge disc, they pulled.
The heavy, more than 40 centimeter-wide metal door was pulled open by them, and with the "creaking" sound of the metal door shaft rubbing, it turned over to the wall next to it.
Inside the door was still a long staircase, only this time it was straight, and there was no light inside, and it was pitch black.
To deal with the darkness, of course, everyone has special equipment in their backpacks.
Jack took out two fist-sized, milky white glass balls from his backpack, and took out two thin wires hanging from the glass balls connected to a plasma battery, and then pinched the balls.
In an instant, the two glass balls lit up, emitting a soft white light, and slowly floated, pulled by thin wires, suspended above everyone's heads, illuminating the passage.
This passage was obviously a little more dusty, and as soon as everyone stepped on it, it left a very obvious shoe print, so that everyone had to carry their backpacks.
Without speaking, the group of twelve continued to go up the stairs.
After climbing for more than ten minutes, another iron gate stopped in front of everyone, and the hinge disc on the door was turned again to open the door, and everyone moved forward again.
After more than ten minutes, another gate appeared in front of everyone, but this gate was different, it was not erected like before, but lying on the ground and level with the ground.
The door is not opened with a hinge plate, but with two wrenches on the door.
Pull the wrench to open the heavy door, and a small door appears in front of everyone three meters away.
There was also a small rectangular glass window the size of three mobile phones connected to each other on the small door, and there was a faint light shining through it.
That's natural light!
Turn off the floating light, everyone can see more clearly, and there is indeed light shining down, but this glass window is covered with too much dust, so it obscures most of the light.
The wrench on the side of the door was flipped again, but this time the door was facing outward, and as the door opened, a large amount of light spilled out, and then a fresh air poured in.
Yes, everyone can clearly feel the change in the air, as if they have stepped into the wetland park from the interior of a group of old smoking guns, and the whole person is clear.
It turns out that the air is so muddy underground! We didn't even notice it before!
Impatiently, everyone poured out of the passage and onto the surface.
Jimmy, of course, was the first to come out, and he found that he seemed to be standing on the top of a large mountain, and as far as the eye could see, it was full of lush greenery, and under the mountain, there was a large forest, and the breeze was paved, the sun was warm, and the sky was full of white clouds, and the rocky mountains were falling under his feet, which was simply the most standard natural beauty, similar to what he had seen when he used to travel abroad.
This is the post-nuclear world? It doesn't look any different...... But think about it, after all, more than a century has passed, and the resilience of nature is still okay. There didn't seem to be much danger around, there wasn't as much devastation as I had imagined, and with the equipment we had now, even without specialized weapons, some beasts shouldn't be too hard to deal with......
But what's next? Let's gather some resources and build a temporary base......
"Look over there!"
Just as Jimmy was planning his next step, Isabelle, who was next to him, suddenly screamed.
Jimmy turned his head and looked in the direction she was pointing.
It was the sky on the right, and in the blue sky, a large number of fine black dots were slowly flying from far and near.
This is...... A flock of birds?
