Chapter Eighty-Two: Enter
The two of them walked lightly towards the pass, and the footsteps made by Situ Linyue were obviously louder than those made by Jiang Yang, and it seemed that the equipment gap was reflected at this moment.
I don't know if the other party is ashamed at this time, and said that it is up to you to decide what to do if you are discovered, if such a situation is discovered, it is probably also a problem on your side, and if something really happens, it depends on how you solve it.
The two walked over softly from the side, Jiang Yang noticed that there was indeed no figure flickering in the bunker, it was estimated that they were either asleep or too lazy to move, it seemed that there should be no people or mutant beasts breaking into the post here for a long time.
The two of them just passed through the light of the guard tower outside the pass, and they didn't trigger any alarms or traps, it seems that there are no such warning measures here, or there is no strength to strictly defend against the outside world.
Very smoothly, the two of them arrived under the wall on the side of the bunker, although the wall made of stones did not have a big point of strength, but only the small gaps between some stones were enough for Situ Linyue and Jiang Yang, I didn't see that Miss Situ had climbed up directly with a pair of skillful hands to clasp the gap, the movement was even lighter and smoother than a gecko, and the posture also revealed infinite beauty, but unfortunately, Jiang Yang had already made up his mind not to flirt with each other anymore, so Jiang Yang just glanced at Xiaoqing and kept it intact. He also clasped the crack in the stone and climbed up.
After climbing, Jiang Yang felt really relaxed, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it as if he was walking on the ground, if he wanted to listen to the corner of ordinary people's homes, it was estimated that there would be no problem, of course, Jiang Yang just thought about it, now, what ordinary people are worth listening to the corner of the wall!
It was too smooth, the two of them turned over the bunker and slipped directly inside, Jiang Yang glanced back at the bunker, and felt that if he was responsible for building here, he would definitely build the bunker high and combine it with the stone wall on the top of the cave above, but look at the top where there is still a lot of gap, it is estimated that the people here did not expect this, but if they do it like that, it will increase the difficulty or consume too many resources.
After following Situ Linyue towards the inside for a while, it was really a discredited advance, although both of them could see with a glimmer of light, but in the case of almost total darkness, no matter how good the vision was, it was useless, and it was not that he could have dark vision without light vision, Situ Linyue was able to continue to move forward, it is estimated that the soul assistant had written down all the surrounding situations before, so that he could command the other party to move forward, although in this case, if Jiang Yang accidentally bumped into it, it could be reluctantly explained, but he still thought about it and forgot it, Don't be unhappy, the other party is likely to leave directly.
Probably walked in the dark for nearly an hour, Situ Linyue's footsteps were put down, Jiang Yang also stood a few steps behind him, only to see a few sparks flashing, it turned out that Situ Linyue was holding a short knife in each hand and rubbed a few sparks, with the help of this spark illuminated the moment, Jiang Yang also saw the surrounding environment clearly, this should be a small gap, it may be one of the other party's hiding spots here, but Jiang Yang's focus at the moment is on the other party's two short knives, the ghost knows if people have taken it out for a long time, If he accidentally bumped into it on this road, would he knock the short knife into his body, Jiang Yang felt very doubtful.
"Are you going to wait here until dawn?" Jiang Yang asked calmly.
"It's not yet their gathering and living area, and there are a few sentry posts in front of us, but don't worry, those sentry posts are basically furnishings, and we can just go straight to the place where no one is in between." Situ Linyue said and took out the single tent, and then lay down on the ground to rest.
Jiang Yang couldn't say anything, although he had already asked Xiaoqing to record the route along the way, but he could only return the same way, and wait until dawn.
Soon, a few hours passed, and Jiang Yang could already see the light in the distance, although it was still very dark, he could barely see.
"Let's go." Situ Linyue had already put away his things, and this was the first time he had spoken in the hours he had been waiting.
Jiang Yang doesn't care, women, when she gets angry, she either coaxes or waits for herself to recover, this kind of independent woman who doesn't know the depth of the other party Jiang Yang doesn't know how to coax, it's actually good to be calm like this.
Without saying a word, Jiang Yang followed behind Situ Linyue, and the two continued to go deep into this underground world.
As he walked in, the light became stronger, and the surroundings were already relatively bright, Jiang Yang took out the black robe and draped it outside, Situ Linyue didn't move, and he didn't know what the situation was.
"So, Miss Situ, do you need a coat to cover your equipment?" Jiang Yang thought about it and asked, after all, if the people in the underground world would find out that something was wrong because of this, it would be a bit too ridiculous.
"Humph!" Situ Linyue snorted coldly, but she didn't speak, and walked by herself.
"Here, put it on, this set is new, and no one has worn it yet." Jiang Yang smiled in his heart, took out a set of black brand new black robes from the storage space and handed it to Situ Linyue.
"Humph!" Situ Linyue snorted coldly again, but this cold snort had a softer meaning, and he reached out and grabbed the robe in Jiang Yang's hand and shook it on his body, during which he didn't forget to glance at Jiang Yang.
Not to mention, this woman is tall, otherwise she wouldn't have such long jade legs, this robe worn by Jiang Yang also looks very good on Situ Linyue's body, and after the other party tightened the strap in front of her body a little, even the section that grew out was strangled up.
When the two of them approached a light source, Jiang Yang saw clearly where the light was, a towering chimney-like tower plunged straight into the top of the cave, the top of the tower was a huge glass sphere-like object, only to see that the sphere flowed like a magma-like substance, those flowing liquids emitted a fiery red light, but after the transformation of the external glass ball, it was a cold white light that shone around, except for the special material of the glass ball-like object, Jiang Yang couldn't think of any other reason.
The closer you get to where the glowing tower is, the temperature is also a little higher, and there are dense houses everywhere under the tower, whether high or short, they are basically stone houses made of stones, and you can see a lot of walking figures from afar, Jiang Yang saw that Situ Linyue was still walking towards that side without stopping, so he followed quietly and continued to move forward.
When he arrived at the bottom of the glowing tower, Jiang Yang found that this thing called the tower is small, this can be regarded as a stone mountain of stones, but the pile is very fine, like a tower, extending up layer by layer, and the top does look like a big glass ball.
"This is the sun of the underground world, each such luminous body can illuminate an area, ordinary people can survive for a long time in this environment, I have calculated, a tower can cover a radius of three kilometers, one side of the tower is where the residence is located, the other side is where the planting area is located, whether it is the food grown or the livestock raised, can grow in this environment." Situ Linyue slowed down and walked side by side with Jiang Yang, explaining softly as she walked.
"How is the water problem solved?" Jiang Yang asked this key question, since arriving in this apocalyptic planet in another world, Jiang Yang has never seen flowing living water, the first gathering place is to store a large amount of water inside a mountain, and the second gathering place is almost the same method, a large water storage facility has been built underground, but this side is already underground, and this tower is obviously like an energy source obtained from the underground, a large survival base that has established an empire, its water consumption is definitely huge, not to mention that these people Jiang Yang saw do not look like they lack water to drink.
"Water is piped from the capital of the Underground World to the towers in all directions, which is one of the fundamental and perhaps even the most central means of controlling the entire Underground World." Situ Linyue explained.
"In this way, all countries should have sufficient reserves of water, and even have access to inexhaustible water, so that they can continue to supply water in all directions, not only for people to drink, but also for growing food and raising livestock." Jiang Yang felt that this underground world should be very difficult, there was no shortage of food and drink, the ruling class itself was dominated by mutants, and they did not lack strong power, so it was really difficult to start a strategy! It seems that there is no other way than to forcibly remove the mutants, at least Jiang Yang can't think of a good way.
"Yes, so I haven't been able to make progress for so long, it's really hard to start here, each tower basically has a management body, responsible for managing all the affairs around here, this kind of governance system is basically passed down from family to family, ordinary people have no power to resist at all, even if this kind of family is cleared, but it is difficult to replace them in charge of the tower, let alone how they are connected to the national capital, and even the people around the tower will not accept foreign rulers at all." Situ Linyue continued to say softly.
As they continued to walk, some people looked at Jiang Yang and the others from time to time, but no one made any other moves, and walked all the way from the only road about three meters wide to the other side of the tower.
Sure enough, looking at the past, the neatly divided fields are scattered into the distance, and there are already people taking care of the plants in the fields, Jiang Yang and the two walked along the field paths, and they even saw vegetables along the way, and even saw a few orchards in the end, it seems that the living environment here can indeed meet the needs of survival.
As he gradually moved away from the tower, Jiang Yang saw a group of grazing animals, like calves, hairless, and fat, like a combination of a buffalo and a fat pig, this kind of domestic animal seemed to be extremely docile, or standing or lying down to be fed, and the things fed were obviously plants such as crop straw, which should have formed a small circulation system in this way.
Situ Linyue took Jiang Yang to continue away from the tower, and when he was about to walk beyond the light of the tower, a solid road five or six meters wide appeared, it seemed that this was the official road leading to other places, and Situ Linyue's explanation also confirmed Jiang Yang's guess.
"This leads to other towers, and you will reach the capital of the country by walking along this road, and the towers here are centered on the capital and radiate to the surrounding areas, and such roads lead to the gathering places of the towers, but there is no such road in the ring direction, either because of the terrain or because of the rules set by the ruler of the capital." Situ Linyue pointed to the road that was not clear in the distance, and explained the distribution of the towers he knew.
"In other words, the people of the tower here can only follow this road to the other towers on this road, and finally reach the national capital, unless they are willing to cross the wilderness, they can't cross the national capital and contact the towers outside this road?"
"Yes, at least that's what I know." Situ Linyue stopped and turned around.
"There are five ordinary people, are we going to face it or just leave?" Jiang Yang nodded to the few people who came from behind and asked Situ Lin Yuelai.
"Let's see what they are going to do, I deliberately took you away for so long, just to see if anyone came to contact me." Situ Linyue replied softly after folding the hood of the robe.
"Hmm." Jiang Yang nodded and stopped talking, and looked at the specific situation for a while, it is estimated that Situ Linyue now has himself by his side, and he has changed this direct way to contact the ruling class here.
Five stout men in the prime of life walked two meters in front of the two and stopped, seeing that although these people had some muscles, their faces were very pale, which was an inevitable reaction to the long-term lack of exposure to normal light.
"Two, our tower master is invited." The middle-aged strong man at the head said politely, the language spoken is still Xiyun, it seems that the most mainstream language in the north of this planet is this language, and the two gathering places that I experienced before are like this.
Jiang Yang glanced at Situ Linyue with slanted eyes, and found that this girl actually lowered her head lightly and did not respond, and at this moment she was behind her, and it seemed that she had handed over the matter of dealing with herself.
"Lead the way!" Jiang Yang said in a deep voice, since you have left the matter of dealing with yourself, then what to do is up to you, don't complain if it doesn't suit your heart! Jiang Yang no longer looked at Situ Linyue, and followed the five people who turned to leave, and Situ Linyue hurriedly followed with light steps.
The group returned along the same path they had just taken, and only when they approached the tower did they turn in another direction and turn to the left, and after another walk, several people in front of them stopped in front of a large stone house.
"Come with me, two." The middle-aged man in the lead turned around and said a word to Jiang Yang and the others, and then took the lead and walked into the house, while the four did not follow in again.
Jiang Yang didn't look back at Situ Linyue, and followed him directly, and the footsteps behind him still followed.
After entering the stone house, he walked through the house, and then entered a courtyard at the back, there were some flowers and plants in the yard, and after passing through the yard, he arrived at a row of stone houses in the back, under the guidance of the middle-aged man, Jiang Yang took Situ Linyue into the central stone house, and there were four armed guards at the door of the stone house.
Walking into the stone house, the interior was an open space like a large meeting room, with several tables and chairs placed in it, and there was a big man sitting at the top of it at this time, just looking at his red eyes, Jiang Yang was sure that this was a mutant.
"You may be seated." The mutant at the top clapped his hands, then pointed to the chair below.
"Hmm." Jiang Yang just nodded lightly and sat down unceremoniously, a mutant who could be killed with a wave of his hand was not worthy of Jiang Yang's polite treatment, not to mention that it was impossible to say whether this real mutant had eaten a human or not.
Situ Linyue was still silent, and sat down on the chair beside Jiang Yang.
"You two don't know where they came from? What is the matter with my tower? The mutant asked directly, and it seems that the strong people disdain to beat around the bush.
"Can't you even see where we're coming from?" Jiang Yang asked rhetorically.
"Hehe, so bold, a strong man from the outside world, I don't know what to call it? The name of the owner of this tower is Zhang De. The mutant chuckled.
"Tyrannosaurus, this is my sister Tyrannosaurus Flower!" Jiang Yang said casually, he played with Fang Mao's code name, if he called himself Qinglong, he would still be a little embarrassed to open his mouth, and when he squinted, Situ Linyue still lowered his head slightly and couldn't see his eyes, but one of his jade hands was pinching the corners of his clothes hard at the moment, and it seemed that he was emotionally affected by the nickname given by Jiang Yang.
"I don't dare to say my real name, it doesn't matter, what do you two want to do here?" The mutant Zhang De pouted.
"It's ridiculous that a group of people who are trapped underground and don't dare to go out have established a so-called empire!" Jiang Yang sneered, I don't know why, he just doesn't have a good impression of mutants, maybe it was the things he saw in the gathering place that made Jiang Yang difficult to let go.
"Haha! We often go out to see what is going on outside, it is deserted, the whole world is lifeless, there is not even water, how can we survive for a long time. The mutant Zhang De said disdainfully.
"About 80,000 miles south of here, we have established a perfect living environment, which is a little better than before the end of the world, so how can you and other burrow rats find it!"
The mutant listened to Jiang Yang's sarcastic words but did not get angry, just squinted his eyes and gently knocked on the coffee table in his hand.
Jiang Yang didn't care, in fact, he originally wanted to provoke the other party and then kill him to see if there was any change in the progress of the world, but this guy actually calmed down.
"Eighty thousand miles away, it seems that the two of them also came through the endless wilderness, I don't know what the purpose of the two is? If you can't tell me, I can also introduce you to the national capital, what do you think? The mutant finally said this.
"That's good, then we'll leave for the capital early tomorrow morning." Jiang Yang didn't care what Situ Linyue thought, and said straightforwardly.
"Haha, okay, I'll ask you to arrange a place for the two of you." The mutant said happily, it seems that he doesn't want to have a conflict with Jiang Yang and the others.
