It took Lin Chuan more than ten minutes to finally climb back to the window on the seventh floor, and completing this almost impossible task made him haggard, and he rested for half an hour before continuing to move.
He slowly approached the entrance of the underground fortifications, which had been scarred by the claws of the monsters, and the steel bars inside were exposed in many places, and there were pools of blood on the ground, and many flies gathered there, and they buzzed into the air like smoke as Lin Chuan passed by.
"Lin Chuan!" Someone shouted in surprise.
Lin Chuan raised his head and saw that the tank was running out of the hidden gate.
"How do you ...... What about the giant dog? He asked impatiently.
"I killed you." Lin Chuan replied blandly, he only felt deeply sleepy.
"What's wrong with you?" The tank reached out to hold him and quickly carried him down.
Many familiar faces appeared before his eyes, and people scrambled to greet him, but he just tried to squeeze out a smile and fainted.
It was already night when he woke up again, and he was now sleeping on a camp bed near the door, and there was no light outside the door. Tank and another unknown man stood guard in the doorway, the familiar creaking of giant rats and the sound of claws scratching at the door.
"Awake?" Li Mingfeng's voice came from the other side. Lin Chuan turned his head and saw him smile at him with a tired face. "You're finally back."
Lin Chuan wanted to get up, but Li Mingfeng held him down.
"Jian Chen said that after you lost blood and exercised vigorously, your body was overloaded and you need to recuperate."
Lin Chuan thought about it and lay back again.
There was a foul smell in the air, Lin Chuan looked inside the tunnel, and he couldn't see anything clearly, only the humming sound of the motive could be heard.
But there were obviously many people in it, which made him feel a palpitation for no reason.
Li Mingfeng smiled bitterly and said, "You also feel it?" This place is dying. ”
"What's wrong?" Lin Chuan's heart sank. Li Mingfeng is not a person who accepts defeat lightly, and for him to say such things, there must be unsolvable difficulties.
"It's hard to put into words." Li Mingfeng replied.
The biggest problem is people.
This underground fortification was not designed and constructed according to long-term fortifications, its design capacity was only 1,000 people, but now the number of people crowded in it is not 2,219 when Lin Chuan left, but 3,441 people, which is the result of many wounded people dying after they could not be treated.
After Lin Chuan left here for the inner city, sporadically the surviving residents of the surrounding area came to the door, begging them to be contained.
"We just can't keep them out." Li Mingfeng said. "But after a start, things got out of hand."
More than 3,000 people is just the number of people in a medium-sized community for Jianghai on weekdays, but in such an apocalypse, this is already an amazing number.
You must know that even the second plan, which is led by the government and built by tens of thousands of people, can accommodate only one million people at each site. It's just a small section of tunnel with no ancillary facilities.
As a direct consequence of the population boom, there is a shortage of food, water, and medicine.
After it started to rain, the number of monsters around them increased dramatically, and they no longer dared to go out to look for supplies, and they could only consume the already small inventory every day. If it weren't for Liang Jin who had asked Zhou Tao to send two truckloads of water and a cart of oil, they wouldn't even be able to survive the day when Lin Chuan arrived.
They had also killed some giant rats, but their corpses attracted more and bigger monsters, and before the giant dog blocked the door, they had already sent away a mutant pig and two mutant sheep, and they stayed here for several hours, and now they could not eat the people hidden inside and left, but the giant dog did not leave for some reason.
"You killed it?" Li Mingfeng asked in disbelief.
Lin Chuan nodded, and briefly told his experience, this time taking advantage of the fact that there was no one else around, he even told the mysterious person and the capsule he gave himself.
"Wait a minute, my mind is a little unclear now, let me think about it." Li Mingfeng received so much information at once, and he was a little dizzy.
"Brother Lin, are you awake?" A familiar voice shouted, and Lin Chuan couldn't help but laugh.
The owner of the voice limped over with a cane and hugged him warmly. "I thought I'd never see you again." Zeng Yu said excitedly.
"I escaped." Lin Chuan replied. "Zhou Tao gave me a key."
Jiang Ming, Wang Qinian, and Lao Leng also came over, but Lin Chuan didn't see Jian Chen, and hurriedly asked about his situation.
"He's fine, he finally fell asleep." Wang Qinian sighed and said.
"What's wrong with him?"
"It's too stressful, there are too many sick people, more than a dozen people die every day, I think he can't hold it anymore." Wang Qinian said in a deep voice.
The atmosphere of the reunion suddenly became cold, and Lin Chuan saw that they all lowered their heads, and it seemed that Chen Jian was not the only one who couldn't hold on.
"How's the inner city?" Finally someone asked.
It was the only hope that their refuge would continue to last, and it was also the reason why Lin Chuan ventured into the city.
But as soon as he entered the city, he was detained, and his purpose was not achieved at all.
Although Jiang Ming also said something about the situation in the inner city when he returned, people always wanted to hear better news.
Looking at these eager eyes around him, Lin Chuan hesitated, the actual situation would definitely disappoint many people, even despair.
But it won't take long for the lie to be exposed, and by that time, they'll have to face the same dilemma.
Even worse than it is now.
At the end of the day, they don't have a way out.
He finally decided to tell the truth.
"We can't rely on the inner city anymore, the plan to build the high wall has stopped, but the plan to renovate the subway has not been successful, which has led to chaos in the inner city. As far as I can see, the troops don't know where they went, the walls are no longer guarded, and monsters can enter the inner city at will. Looting and rape can be seen everywhere, but no one comes out to maintain order. People want to squeeze into the subway, and few people really find a safe place. In this case, no one will care about our little refuge, let alone send us any supplies. ”
The tunnel was eerily quiet, and there must have been many people in the dark listening to the news he had brought, but the news was so unacceptable.
For a while, no one spoke, and someone cried in the darkness.
"We're dead, aren't we?" Wang Qinian's voice trembled, with a little crying.
Many people have been prepared for this for a long time, especially after these people have joined in, and everyone knows what is going on out there. They just instinctively have the last hope for life, but after this glimmer of hope is also dashed, perhaps many people will choose to die.
Suicide is not a new thing in this shelter, people with ability and ability have been selected very early, and the vast majority of those who stay here are citizens with no special skills. Many of them were old and weak, and some of them were not with their children, so when no one was looking, they cut their wrists with knives that they had secretly hidden. In the darkness, no one could see what they had done, and most of them would not be seen dead until dawn.
Maybe more people will die when they wake up tomorrow morning.
A terrifying image conjured up in Wang Qinian's mind, and when he opened his eyes, he was surrounded by corpses, and the lake-like blood surrounded him in the middle of an isolated island.
"Who said that!" Lin Chuan replied loudly. "Who said we were going to die?" He sat up from his bed and asked aloud. "We all have hands and feet, knowledge and wisdom, so why wait for someone else to save us? How did we survive in the past? Would we starve to death if we didn't depend on others? ”
"But now we're trapped in this and can only wait to die." A voice came from afar.
"Who said that?" Lin Chuan stood on the bed, and Li Mingfeng lit the flashlight so that everyone could see him. "I killed the mutant dog that kept blocking the door during the day today! I'm alone! There's nothing to be afraid of! It's just a little bigger! What are we? We are human beings, we are the rulers of the earth, human beings who are the primates of all things! I can set a trap to kill a giant dog by myself, and there is no reason why the three thousand of us just stay together and wait to die! If there is no road, we will dig a way out! If there's not enough space, we'll expand it! ”
Suddenly, his mind brightened, and his thoughts became clear.
"We don't have the tools."
"We have hammers, we have crowbars, and if we can't do it, even if we dig with a spoon, we have to dig a way out!" Lin Chuan said loudly, the cries of those giant rats outside the door could not affect him in the slightest. "Whoever wants to give up, I don't stop him, but don't spread negativity here. We have 3,000 people, this is our capital, we have to work together to use everyone! As long as everyone doesn't give up, we will definitely be able to live! Live until the day when you return to the surface and return home! ”
No one applauded, let alone cheered, but Lin Chuan didn't care about it. He didn't expect these people to be able to cheer him up because of a few words, he didn't have the ability to do it, but he couldn't tolerate someone giving up in front of him without any effort.
"Is anyone familiar with the situation here? Come here, we're going to find the nearest route. Lin Chuan finally said. Whether it's useful or not, as long as you can give advice, please come over, maybe your idea can save us all! ”
"It can't be." Wang Qinian shook his head and said in a low voice. "It's all 300 concrete, how can it be dug up?"
Lin Chuan wanted to punch him, but the tank had already done it for him, and he gave Wang Qinian a kick from behind and kicked him under the bed.
"Don't say frustrating words to Lao Tzu!" He scolded.
This made Lin Chuan laugh.
"Can we really do it?" Zeng Yu looked at the tank, but still asked.
"Have you seen The Shawshank Redemption? He can dig a way out with a spoon alone, why can't we? ”
"But that's just a movie."
"Who says a movie has to be fake?" Lin Chuan asked rhetorically. "If anyone doesn't want to live, I have a grenade here, please take one outside, remember to pull the string when you are eaten by monsters, and you can make some contribution to those who want to live."
"Does anyone not want to live?" He asked, his unusually tough attitude calming everyone's hearts.
No one answered.
Lin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that his adventure had succeeded.
No one really wants to give up, they just don't have a direction, and when he shows them a direction and forces them to do it, they forget their fears, they forget their despair, and they focus all their attention on completing the task.
"Who's in charge of the warehouse?" He asked.
"It's me." Lu Guangping raised his hand.
"Find everything metal, anything hard that can be used to dig holes and cut walls, even a screwdriver. Do you understand what I mean? He looked at Lu Guangping and asked.
He nodded.
"Don't overcomplicate the problem, doesn't Jianghai claim that there are at least ten pipelines under every road? We just need to dig through one of them. ”
