Chapter 485: Contact (2nd Update)
Soon, Su Mo and the others followed Jia Lan to the end of the passage, and the scene in front of them suddenly became clear.
A very narrow underground gathering area came into the eyes of Su Mo and the others.
There are square-shaped buildings here, and the roads are very narrow. However, many children can be seen squatting and playing together, laughing from time to time.
In terms of size, it is a gathering area of more than 20,000 people.
"There's a clearing here, you have to rest there, and you won't be allowed to leave the clearing without our consent. I'll let you know if there's any update. ”
Jia Lan led Su Mo to a relatively spacious open space.
In fact, it was not that Jia Lan and they despised Su Mo and the others, but that Su Mo and them had too many people, and there was no suitable place to place them for a while.
"Okay."
Su Mo and the others didn't have any opinions, and they weren't picky.
Then Garan turned and left.
Lin Ming said to everyone; "Rest in place."
When the people heard this, they sat down on the ground.
At this time, many aborigines and children of the Hongji Empire gathered around curiously, and most of them were seeing outsiders for the first time.
The eyes are full of curiosity and surprise.
But they didn't rush closer, still a little instinctively afraid.
At this time, many people who were resting and recuperating took out a nutrition bar from their waist bags and prepared to eat and replenish their physical strength.
Although they had eaten it before, the high-intensity escape before had caused their physical fitness to drop very much.
Just as they were about to start, they saw a pair of curious, slightly eager eyes staring at them.
Many children in shabby clothes swallowed cigarettes and saliva with longing expressions.
Although these children don't know what a nutrition bar is, they naturally know that it is delicious when they see that the color of the nutrition bar is so beautiful and that it is sent to their mouths.
At this point, Karinsha smiled and handed them a nutrition bar in her hand.
A little girl hesitated, then held out her hand.
Karinsha nodded with an encouraging look.
The little girl walked up and took it, and a smile of joy broke out from her little face, and she said to Karinsha.
"Thank you."
Then the other children saw this and rushed in.
Seeing this, Lin Ming and the others were not stingy, and took out nutrition bars one after another and handed them to them.
.....
In the distance, an old man in a cyan robe and a mechanical cane was looking at this place from a distance, and he saw this scene with a thoughtful expression.
At this time, Garan walked over and greeted respectfully.
"Grandpa."
"Garan, you've been a bit reckless this time."
"I'm sorry."
"Say what you do, Ju has nothing against your approach. From the current point of view, this is not necessarily a bad thing, at least the first impression of these outsiders is okay. Of course, this is not representative of what I will ultimately think of them, but it is true that the situation we are in now is getting harder and harder, and if we can't change anything, we won't be far away from a drastic annihilation. In the battle between artificial intelligence and black space, we really lost. ”
"Grandpa won't."
Garan kept shaking his head.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, I think about it, you brought the people back, and you are responsible for contacting them. As a sign of sincerity, I would like to allow you to show them around our gathering area, and ask them for details. ”
"I will."
Garan nodded in response.
"Silly boy, you don't have to have too much mental pressure, contact slowly, we can't do it again, and we won't collapse in a while. Just one thing I want to warn you to be, don't put too much faith in these outsiders, man is a very complex creature and is very deceptive. ”
"I understand."
"Go ahead, be bold and contact, as for the different voices on the side of the Council of Elders, I will suppress it for you, the future belongs to you young people after all."
......
----------------------------------------------
In the temporary camp, Su Mo and several people sat around and communicated in a low voice.
Lin Ming directly said what he thought.
"I just looked a little bit and I saw that it was in a tattered place. But the degree of civilization is well preserved, not to mention that the air quality here is not at the same level as the sewer, which means that there is a complete air filtration system. ”
Karinsha said approvingly.
"Not only that, but if you take a closer look at the houses here, they are not ordinary metal structures, they are all made of alloy. It should be made of killed security guards, looted materials, they should have a decent processing capacity, and they should have the ability to reserve some of the manufacturing power. ”
"According to what you say, they are no ordinary remnants of the Acerji Empire."
Su Mo thought for a while and said.
"It could be a core member."
Lin Ming nodded and said.
"What's the difference?"
Witco asked, puzzled.
"The difference is big, if they are the core members of the Hongji Empire, they must know how to get out of here. No matter how bad it is, I know how to get out, and we still haven't figured out how we ended up in this hellish place. ”
Su Mo explained to Witke.
"I've seen enough, if they knew how to leave, they would have left a long time ago."
Witco isn't very promising.
At this time, Qianchengxue opened her mouth to remind; "Okay, don't talk about that, the woman named Garan has come over."
Su Mo and the others all closed their mouths.
At this time, Jia Lan walked over, and Lin Ming and the others opened their mouths to greet one after another.
"Hello Miss Garan."
Jia Lan glanced at Lin Ming and the others, then his eyes fell on Su Mo, ignoring the others and saying, "You come with me." ”
"Ah, me?"
Su Mo was also stunned.
"Questions?"
"Nope."
Su Mo reacted and hurriedly responded.
Seeing this scene, Qiancheng Xue and Karinsha moved their lips slightly, wanting to speak, but gave up again.
I could only watch Su Mo and Jia Lan leave.
After the two of them walked away, Witco said with some unease: "If they call Su Mo away alone, will it be bad for him?" ”
Although Wittco didn't look at Su Mo very pleasing to the eye before, but after this period of escape, Wittco already admired Su Mo from the bottom of his heart.
"Don't worry, have confidence in Su Mo, we don't want to do anything now, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the other party."
Lin Ming unconsciously trusted Su Mo very much.
"Okay."
......
On the other side, Su Mo accompanied Jia Lan all the way towards the residential area.
On the windows of the buildings along the way, many heads poked out, looking at Su Mo with a strange spectacle.
Su Mo felt like a monkey and was very uncomfortable.
He wanted to find a topic to talk to Garan, but he didn't feel right to say anything. For public relations sets to be close to this kind of thing, it's really not my strong point.
Especially Jia Lan is still a woman, and Su Mo has little experience.
