Chapter 17: The City of Steel
"Wenxi, I'll send my sister and brother to the welfare home to register, and you leave a room number for me. Let's part right here. ”
Wen Xi glanced at the small fish in the pond that was holding Liao Liang and did not let go, and separated it from the entrance of the underground residential area of Shulai and the others in the 318 base.
Because the bucket for watering is a product of black technology and the price is high, it is far from a good thing that a poor egg with a net worth of less than 5,000 points can think of, so the sweet potato boy she picked up was placed in a transparent plastic bag that Shulai gave her for free.
The sweet potatoes in the transparent plastic bag, even if they are stained with mud, exude an invincible charm that makes people feel evil!
Asking is that extreme hunger makes people perverted.
In front of everyone's eyes, Wenxi couldn't use the wood-based ability, she had enough confidence to protect herself, and she was no longer afraid of the villains with bad intentions, but she didn't want to get burned either, so she always lowered her head, carried a transparent plastic bag, and carried a bucket of third-level water exchanged for five hundred points, and walked to the hut where she was rented.
The lonely Wenxi is like a cat born without claws, or a kitten with a huge amount of money, which is undoubtedly the "fat" that everyone covets, and I can't wait to rush up and take a bite.
At this moment, the madman Su raised his voice and scolded: "What are you looking at? Look at it again, and you'll gouge out both of your eyes! You! There is a way in heaven, you don't go to hell, there is no door to vote? Dare to try our 88 squad? Try it and die! ”
Wen Xi stopped suddenly, looked back at the Su madman wielding the blood-stained machete, and unexpectedly met the Su madman, catching the fear that flashed in the eyes of the Su madman, she raised her eyebrows lightly and thanked him with her mouth: Thank you.
Su's pupils suddenly dilated and immediately shrunk, zoomed in, zoomed in, zoomed in, and repeated several times before stopping, he looked left and right, and finally determined that Wen Xi was thanking him, and a strange emotion that he didn't know how to describe came to his heart, making him show his shyness for the first time in front of people.
Hiss~
The sound of gasping and cooling air sounded all around, and the sound of the stream swept over, and the onlookers all had ghostly expressions on their faces, as if they had seen a picture more terrible than the ghosts of hell.
Wenxi didn't think deeply, only nodded at the Su madman, carried the sweet potato boy, and carried the bucket back to her hut.
Closing the door of the hut, there was a slightly familiar sound of footsteps outside the door, followed by a few rhythmic knocks on the door: "Wenxi, I am here to protect you on the orders of the captain, you can sleep in peace." ”
Wenxi poured a large glass of water and brought it out to Madman Su: "Thank you." ”
Madman Su's eyes lit up when he saw the water glass, and he licked his dry lips unconsciously, "Then, then I'm welcome." ”
He took the glass, opened his mouth wide, and drank it all in one gulp.
In this process, Madman Su consciously did not touch the edge of the water cup, but when he returned the water cup, his face obviously revealed a little cramped and uneasy: "That, Wenxi, why don't I buy you a new water cup?" ”
"Okay."
Wenxi agreed without hesitation, and seeing the stunned expression of the madman Su, she added: "Don't take advantage of the bastard." ”
Madman Su was stunned at first, then smirked, and rushed out more than a hundred meters with a water cup before remembering to explain to Wenxi: "I'll go back when I go!" I'm super fast! ”
Wenxi thought of her bag of sweet potatoes and called out to Maniac Su: "Wait a minute, can you buy a machine for roasting sweet potatoes?" How many points do you need? Why don't we add a friend? If it is sold, you can buy it for me, and I will transfer points for you. ”
Madman Su looked dazed: "The machine that bakes sweet potatoes? Why machine roast? We can grill it over an open flame. ”
Wenxi was slightly stunned, yes, why did she forget to roast sweet potatoes over an open fire?
It seems that Shulai is right, she is extremely lacking in the common sense of life in the wasteland, and the stupid questions she asks are like two hundred and five.
Madman Su said again: "Wenxi, didn't the captain tell you?" There is too much residual radiation contamination from mutant sweet potatoes, and it is okay to eat and change the taste occasionally, but when you eat a meal, you will die miserably if you eat it every day. ”
"Thanks for the reminder." Wenxi didn't explain much, and changed the topic and said: "I'll ask Shulai to see when she's done, and ask her to bake sweet potatoes together." ”
"Great!" Madman Su grinned very happily, and after being shy, he showed his true appearance of laughing heartily in Wenxi.
Wenxi clicked on the forum link sent to her by Shulai, as in the original memory, the forum is indeed very lively, and all kinds of new posts updated 1 second ago are emerging one after another.
And the forum in this special link that Shulai gave to Wenxi is obviously very different from what the original body saw, and the multiple forces of the 318 base are clearly distinguished, and the post indicates which sphere of influence it belongs to, such as [Scientific Research Institute], [Farming Squad], [Base Army], etc.
Among them, the [Scientific Research Institute] has the least number of posts, which are basically instructions for base residents, blood and cell donation notices, etc., and the content of the posts is all in a high-minded command tone.
Wenxi inexplicably cared about the [Scientific Research Institute], she clicked in, and the top post was [Notice to Base Residents], which clearly stipulated that the Scientific Research Institute had the right to require residents to donate blood and cells, which also required that the base residents should not approach the garbage heap with the sign of 'Scientific Research Institute', as well as the domestic sewage discharged by the Steel City, otherwise they would bear the consequences.
After a closer look, Wenxi found that the steel city was not unique to the scientific research institute as Shulai said, but the most densely populated and industrially developed core area of the 318 base.
The steel city brings together the top talents of the 318 base, the management of the major forces and their families will live in it, and the survival materials such as clothing, food, housing and transportation are placed in the warehouse of the steel city, and artificial intelligence will allocate resources to feed more base residents with limited survival resources as fairly as possible.
Factories such as scarce talents, sophisticated technology, radioactive sewage filtration systems, factories for the production of nutrient solutions, radiation suits, helmets, buckets, solar panels, etc., are all gathered here.
Wenxi saw from the picture in the post that the steel city seemed to be wrapped in a golden coat, and she clicked on the popular science link at the bottom of the picture, which was a detailed information about the golden coat, which was developed by the scientific research institute called [Sun God Bird] to isolate radiation pollution, which can protect the humans in the city from the harm and threat of radiation pollution.
Therefore, the extremely strict entry threshold of the Steel City is also the "Elysium" in the minds of the residents living in the underground base.
Everyone wants to live in the sun, no one wants to live like a gopher hiding in a dark cave, and the inhabitants of the underground base dream of entering the city of steel and becoming humans.
