Day by day in the infinite game

The biggest inconvenience of living underground is the difficulty in ventilation.

People have been thinking of various ways to solve the problem.

For example, laying ventilation ducts, using houses on the ground as shelters to set up vents, installing underground exhaust fans, etc.

And coincidentally, the house that Tang Qinqin chose as a place to stay was a ground bunker with one of the main vents.

…

Entering the game world on the second day.

The rain that had been falling for half the night stopped obediently in the early morning.

After dinner, Tang Qinqin, who was walking around the house, heard a strange rustling sound in the next room, so he walked over slowly.

Although he was a little scared, when he thought that he would not feel at ease at night if he didn't find out where he was going to stay, Tang Qinqin plucked up the courage to open the door of the room that had been silent for a long time.

Then, before he could see anything clearly, he heard a high-pitched scream that shot straight into the sky.

"Ahhhh——!"

Tang Qinqin couldn't help but rub his ears.

Good guy, this is a tenor singer who is rare in a century!

It's just that the melody style is a bit scary.

She and the man, who gradually closed his mouth and stopped talking, with half of his body exposed on the ground, looked at each other for a long time before they began to try to have normal human communication.

Ventilation duct repairman, or plumber for short, is the profession of Lin Sen, a talented high-pitched man.

Patrolling the line every day to check whether the ventilation in the survey area is normal and cleaning the dirt at the exhaust vents are his unbeatable tasks.

The unintentional scream just now does not mean that he is a coward, but that the place has been silent for a long time, and even the rats that were wandering around at the beginning have disappeared. This sudden noise is not frightening.

Did he jump?

"Where are you from? Is it different outside than here?" Lin Sen asked.

The girl in front of me is different from them at first glance. Her skin is healthy and rosy, her hair is black and shiny, and her body is full of vitality.

Living underground for many years without seeing the sun, the standard features of their own people are pale complexion, stooped figure due to calcium deficiency, yellow and white hair, and eyes that are not bright and have reduced vision after being in a dark environment for a long time.

It's no wonder that he is curious. He has lived underground since he was born. He has heard his parents recall their past and knows that the living environment is the same all over the world now.

Since they are all the same, where does this girl who looks different come from?

"I'm from City Y." Tang Qinqin said where he lived in the real world.

It seems like this, doesn’t it count as lying to him?

"There, are all the people there like this?" Lin Sen looked at Tang Qinqin with envy, his tone full of yearning.

"Yeah, but it's far, far away from here. Look, I'm lost."

…

When Lin Sen completed his daily work and returned underground, he found the person in charge of the town management and explained Tang Qinqin's situation to them.

After working hard all day long and busy searching, the person in charge of water resources management heard that the visitor was a girl, and without thinking much, he waved his hand and let Lin Sen take care of the arrangements.

This is actually based on his trust in the security forces of underground towns.

Since the advent of the "apocalypse", the 360 ​​industries that once flourished with a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending have gradually declined, with very few remaining today.

Most of the manpower is invested in major emerging industries such as underground planting, groundwater treatment, and underground infrastructure management. Among them, the "Tianji Team" who is responsible for taking turns to be on duty and monitoring ground weather conditions also serves as a security guard.

In the evening, Tang Qinqin was finally able to set foot in the underground world that interested her so much.

…

Tang Qinqin felt that the passage to the underground town must have borrowed the survival wisdom of small animals who are good at digging holes and hiding. It is called "the road is long and blocked".

The twists and turns and the eighteen turns of the mountain road seem to be insufficient to describe the trend of this passage.

In fact, this is a last resort, in order to prevent acid rain and other harmful substances from the ground from entering underground towns and causing damage and destruction.

The arrival of Tang Qinqin attracted the attention of many underground town residents.

In the hearts of these people, young and old, with white beards and hair, Tang Qinqin with black hair and black eyebrows is very strange.

At this time, Qin Zhuo was excitedly describing to Grandma Ning the Tang Qinqin he had just seen: "...that sister has black hair, which is different from ours, but she is very beautiful, especially her eyes..."

Jing Jingxuan, who originally just listened to the ordinary excitement, was stunned.

It was like turning on a memory switch that had been dusty for a long time, and many memories of youth began to play in my mind.

She once had black hair and charming eyes.

But even though she couldn't see it now, she knew that her hair was already full of white.

What about this dark-haired girl?

Grandma Ning stood up anxiously and touched the walking stick on the side: "Xiao Zhuo, hurry up, take grandma to see if that person is gone."

She couldn't explain why her heart was beating so fast at the moment. It seemed like there was a voice in her head urging her to get over it. As for what would happen if she got over it, she had no time to think about it.

It was now approaching dinner time, and the people who had just been watching Tang Qinqin on the three floors inside and outside had gradually dispersed.

Tang Qinqin, who was blushing at being stared at, could not wait to put on makeup immediately and make himself look familiar to everyone.

At that moment, she only felt that she looked like a monkey in the zoo.

"Sister, sister..." came an urgent voice belonging to a young man, and a thin young man came over supporting an old woman on crutches.

Tang Qinqin looked at the strange old man and the young child in front of him, and smiled and said hello.

The embarrassment that had accumulated in my heart just now disappeared in an instant.

…

Lin Sen asked the person in charge to arrange a prefabricated house for Tang Qinqin not far from Grandma Ning's house.

Because of this, during dinner, Grandma Ning firmly invited her to come and have dinner with her.

Unable to resist the hospitality, Tang Qinqin and his grandfather and grandson tasted tree roots, worms and steamed potatoes.

Of course, she didn't actually eat the bug, but she secretly stuffed it into the obsidian.

Everyone has their own preferences for radish and cabbage, right?

After eating, Grandma Ning sent Qin Zhuo to wash the dishes.

"Qinqin girl?" the old lady tried to shout. Seeing that Tang Qinqin didn't object, she relaxed and continued: "They all said that you have black and shiny hair. Old lady, I am very interested and want to keep it.

Just talk, don't be afraid."

"I used to have beautiful black hair, but I can't see it anymore." A sigh full of regret.

"Girl Qinqin, can you tell me, are the people there like you? You live on the ground and can still see the sun every day, is that right?"

"Grandma Ning, that's right." Tang Qinqin saw the tears shining in the old man's eyes and felt depressed.

"Girl Qinqin, when you go back, can you please take me and Xiaozhuo with you?"
