Chapter 11: The Survivor Base
Along the entrance, dozens of mermaids rushed in.
As soon as I entered the passage, a cacophony of voices came to my face, and although the sound was small, it came from the bottom of the passage.
Everyone did not hesitate, Lu Ping and Yuriko walked down the stairs under the heavy protection of the mobilized soldiers and peacekeeping infantry, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Zhang Heng gradually walked at the front of the team.
All the way down, the group encountered a total of three iron gates, opened them one by one, and finally went down to the ground and came to the survivor base.
When the conscripts and peacekeepers walked out of the passage, all the survivors near the exit looked up, all of them with surprised expressions on their faces.
Especially the soldiers of the base guarding the exit, there was a trace of envy on their faces, compared with the old military uniforms and messy weapons on their bodies, the military uniforms and weapons of the red police soldiers couldn't help but look much neater.
In particular, the sophisticated set of heavy armor worn by the peacekeepers and the tall explosion-proof shields in their hands almost made the soldiers present red-eyed, and they couldn't help but go up and grab them.
Fortunately, reason made them stop thinking, and looking at the neat equipment on the group in front of them, they couldn't help but guess which place this was the army.
Looking at the neat and neat people who are all 1.8 meters shortest, and the sophisticated equipment in their hands, are they special forces from other cities?
But the military uniforms on their bodies do not look like Chinese uniforms.
Facing the scrutiny of the guards and survivors at the exit, the Red Guard soldier's face was calm, but after a brief look, he stopped paying attention, as if he was not interested.
Zhang Heng squeezed away the mobilized soldiers who were surrounding Lu Ping, came to the front and said, "This is the periphery of the survivor base, do you see the house over there?" ”
He pointed to a wooden house about 100 meters northwest of the exit, and said, "That's a trading point set up by the government in the inner perimeter, where survivors can exchange bullets for food, or predators returning from going out can exchange their prey for bullets." ”
"Although bullets are precious, there are also many survivors in circulation. However, the trading point has a very high transaction ratio, and a one-person serving of food requires five bullets, and many people are dissatisfied with this, but they are helpless, because they don't want to go out and fight hard, so they can only obediently go there to exchange food. ”
Lu Ping nodded after hearing this, and the more he knew about the preciousness of ammunition in the apocalypse, the smoother his plan would be.
So he immediately commanded the team to move on, and Zhang Heng volunteered to lead Lu Ping and others to his residence.
The group immediately set off, and as they went deeper, Lu Ping saw that there was a huge hole with a diameter of 100 meters at the top of the underground base, and couldn't help but ask, "What does that hole do?" ”
"Oh, that's the ventilation duct of the base, it can be said to be the life passage of the entire base, and the more than 1.5 million people in the underground base rely on it to deliver oxygen."
Lu Ping nodded, the temperature under the ground was much cooler than on the ground, about thirty degrees, since he got out of the passage, he felt the temperature drop, this feeling was very comfortable.
After walking for about twenty minutes, the group finally came to the residence in Zhang Heng's mouth.
Here is a rock wall, on the cliff wall, side by side with independent portals, almost every ten meters there is a wooden door, and Zhang Heng's residence is one of the wooden doors on the rock wall.
Leaving all the mobilized soldiers and peacekeepers outside, Lu Ping and Yuriko walked into one of the wooden doors under the leadership of Zhang Heng.
Here, it is said to be a dwelling, but it is more like a cave in the ground, which is very simple, and the rough walls can be seen to be excavated by artificiality.
It's hard to believe that those survivors live in such a humble place.
And it's hard to imagine how the army has dug up such a huge underground base and these habitable caverns in the past little time, only a month after the outbreak of the end of the world.
"I don't know what the situation is in other cities, but I do know that Zibo started building these underground bases a few years ago."
Zhang Heng put Zhang Kai on the only stone bed covered with a quilt in the room, and said, "Since I was also a worker who built this base at that time, I am very clear about this matter. The initial doubts gradually became clear in this month. ”
"You're saying that the government probably knew the end was going to happen?"
If that's the case, it's terrible!
But if you think about it carefully, Lu Ping can also find some clues from some of the things that have happened in recent years. For example, five years ago, China suddenly began to spend a huge amount of money to build a railway connecting the whole country, this railway consumed countless manpower, material and financial resources, a height of more than 200 meters, and each bracket is extremely large, even the smallest screw, the size of a human head!
Three years ago, for example, China built a huge oil reserve tank and a huge fresh water and food reserve tank in the capital cities of Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Qinghai, Xinjiang and Tibet, and transferred many high-ranking government officials and the children and relatives of wealthy businessmen to these five places.
And the completion time of these two projects seems to be exactly February 20, 2015, just a week before I fell asleep inexplicably, if it were not for the fact that all the money spent on the construction of these things was the state treasury and the money sponsored by those rich businessmen, I am afraid that the people would have rebelled long ago.
In those years, Japan, the United States, Russia and other countries seemed to have similar projects, and these things were broadcast on the news every day at that time, making many people think that a third world war was about to break out.
Now that I think about it, it seems that governments really knew what was going on in advance and quickly prepared for it.
As for why governments did this, Lu Ping couldn't figure it out, and he didn't bother to think about it, and after stretching his waist, his stomach suddenly "gurgled".
He hadn't eaten for more than ten hours since he had eaten the bowl of broth made from crocodile meat, and by now, his stomach was in serious protest.
Seeing this, Zhang Heng hurriedly lifted the tablecloth on the table on the side, took out a piece of white raw meat, and said, "The food, electricity, water and fire sources here are very expensive, and if you want to eat a decent meal, you can only go to the trading point to exchange it." Fortunately, the meat of those unknown creatures is very pure, and it is very sweet, and there is no problem with eating it raw, give! ”
As he spoke, he handed over the meat in his hand.
Lu Ping looked at the piece of flesh in front of him that was still bloodshot, and suddenly lost his appetite, he waved his hand and said, "You wait." ”
After saying that, under Zhang Heng's puzzled gaze, he turned around and walked out of the door, and after letting a few peacekeepers block the view of the survivors around him, he immediately spent thirty energy points to exchange three boxes of Russian Army Field Individual No. 7 Battle Rations from the food factory.
In addition to a few boxes of canned meat, a box of canned beef and rice, a box of canned ham, a few packets of compressed biscuits, a box of cheese, a few packets of ketchup, jam and two packs of solid drinks, this combat ration also included a few pills of water purifier, a small folding stove, a few blocks of alcohol, a pack of waterproof matches and a canning knife.
However, in this kind of apocalypse, this kind of battle ration is already considered the top food, after all, no matter how nutritious the meat of unknown creatures is, it is not as tasty as land food.
After taking out four rations from one of the boxes, Lu Ping turned around and returned to the house, while the rest of the mobilized soldiers and peacekeepers lined up to receive the food.
"This ......"
Seeing Lu Ping open a cardboard box, Zhang Heng was speechless in surprise.
It wasn't because the boxes contained pre-apocalyptic food, but because he had never seen them on the way before, so where did the young man in front of him get them?
For a moment, he suddenly felt that the young man in front of him was gradually covered with a veil of mystery.
