Chapter 21 The Pain of Breathing (21)

Li Yan knew very well that the most difficult part of his entire operation was not getting in, but getting out. The managers took advantage of the situation by playing tricks on them.

The underground city is like an urn filled with countless bugs. It is easy to get in, but once you are sealed inside, you will become a bastard shell. There is no room for failure for them to take out all the family wealth. Li Yan climbed up with a gun on his back

Climbing, I occasionally glanced at the two children who were struggling to keep up with my peripheral vision.

After climbing more than ten floors in a row, Li Yan signaled that everyone could rest. Suddenly, the elevator doors on each floor were opened, and dazzling light was projected on them, followed by the laser point of the sight——

The administrator waited impatiently and threatened that if the garrison failed within a day

Kill all these thugs, then he will no longer want to enjoy the preferential treatment of being able to live without working, and go to the factory to do production. In order not to be thrown out of his job, the guard captain had to order the people below to risk injury.

Risk opened the elevator door and fired into the elevator shaft.

Li Yan, who was always on guard, had his men cling to the wall as soon as the elevator door opened. When they finished a round of strafing, he threw the remaining Molotov cocktails out of the nearest elevator door. The Molotov cocktails exploded with a bang, triggering

The lowest fire emergency instruction in the underground city defense instructions was passed. As a result, the elevator door

Automatically closed, the exit on that floor was locked, and the air in the entire room was drained instantly - the fire caused by the incendiary bottle was indeed extinguished, but the dozen or so unlucky defenders also quickly fell to the ground due to lack of oxygen.

On the ground. In the city, they usually don't wear protective suits equipped with oxygen bottles. They are heavy and unnecessary.

The underground city has an absolute prohibition on open flames. The inspection of flammable and explosive materials is much stricter than the inspection of drugs. The circuit system is inspected and repaired twice a day. It is the only inspection that does not allow absence from work. The failure rate

Infinitely close to zero, it is impossible for a fire to be caused by an electric spark, so those who know the underground city safety system will think that a fire is an impossible thing.

The guard captain looked worried and wanted people to go to that floor to block Li Yan, but the manager didn't say anything. The surveillance showed that Li Yan and his group just lost the incendiary bottle and did not leave the elevator shaft. The fire linkage has not been released yet, so the manager

A person doesn't want to ask two other managers to help her unlock the command authority for something that will only come to fruition if she waits - that would not be good for her reputation at all.

Let’s briefly talk about the management system of the underground city. There are three managers in the Class B underground city, who are responsible for security, production and justice. Analogous to the division of power that Yu Di is familiar with, security not only takes care of safety issues, but also takes charge of internal stability maintenance and external affairs.

Communication responsibility, production is responsible for all the material consumption of the underground city and the maintenance of all equipment.

This person is also directly responsible for the express line that is opened once a month in Class A cities to connect to Class A cities; and the person in charge of justice, in addition to being responsible for resolving public disputes and formulating penalties, in order to strip some of the production managers' control over the underground city,

All other miscellaneous matters within the dungeon, such as cleaning, distribution, bed checks, etc., are also under his control.

The underlying command in the defense command mentioned earlier is a command that bypasses the authority of each of their managers. In addition to fire protection, there is actually a self-destruct command that even the three of them are unaware of. Since the dungeon system was built, after

After countless debates, a coalition agreement plus coalition government control and deployment were finally formed. There are smart people in the coalition government, and they know that this seemingly tight gear-like cooperation

In fact, it is very loose, especially the second-class cities with certain autonomy, which can easily escape the control of the coalition government. The seven first-class cities have privately signed confidentiality proposals, leaving one in the main control system that no one knows about.

If the coalition government unanimously agrees to "shut down" a Class B city, then the "self-destruct command" can be activated. At that time, all circuits will be cut off and all production will be stopped.

Above the underlying commands, there is the general command authority, which requires three managers to enter the key at the same time to activate. After the general command authority is activated, you can have absolute command authority over the entire dungeon. If the security manager at this time

If she had absolute command, she would have probably opened the elevator door and ordered the garrison to pour oil down and light it on fire.

When Li Yan saw the elevator door closed, he continued to climb up with his men. A strange calm formed between them.

During the stalemate in the underground city, Yu Di's side was carrying out the slicing business in full swing. Because many of the soda melon seedlings transplanted before were dead, Cheng Die asked them to dig out all the unviable ones so that they could be taken back for research.

, to avoid affecting the growth of other normal seedlings due to rot.

She found that most of the roots of these unviable alkaline melon seedlings looked a little burnt yellow with black spots. Compared with the light yellow roots and circular folds in the observation box before, they looked more like raw

Bing. Yu Di watched her pick up those black spots with tweezers and put them under the microscope to look at them, and suddenly remembered

Come, these seedlings that failed to survive seem to be concentrated in the northeast corner, where the rotten layer they dug up before is piled up. After discussion with Yan Lin and the other three, they feel that these dead seedlings are not caused by environmental problems.

It is possible to survive, but it is like being infected with some kind of virus or fungal bacteria.

The surface of the earth has been abandoned by humans for a long time, and most of the exposed soil is covered with rotten layers of different compositions. Although the name is rotten, it is actually soil that has completely lost its organic activity after heavy pollution. Even organisms such as bacteria and fungi can

It is difficult to obtain an energy source in such soil, and it is still difficult for viruses to survive without a host. But no one can guarantee that it is impossible for any fungi or viruses to evolve to adapt to the decaying layer.

If there are things in these rotten layers that can infect the roots of alkaline melons and kill them, Cheng Die would definitely vote for the virus. Yu Di suddenly understood why alkaline melons could only be found where she came from - maybe it was not caused by the distortion of time and space.

A mutation in the seeds of a certain native plant

It grew into a soda melon because the people who buried the native eucalyptus dug up the rotten layer when digging the pit. The root system of the soda melon that was lucky enough to escape the infection grew up successfully because it was far away from the source of infection.

The source of infection had developed a certain degree of resistance, so Yu Di was able to dig it out.

The three of them discussed it and decided to throw all the rotten layers around the experimental field into the large pit created by the explosion at the construction site. So there was an additional item on their agenda - cleaning up the rotten layers. It was not just an experiment.

All the decaying layers around the fields and within a kilometer radius of them were stuffed bit by bit into the cage made of reinforced concrete.

This is a big project, so Yu Di, with the good intention of cheering everyone up, wrote a rather inspirational slogan with red paint and pasted it on the railing of their simple elevator.

"A small shovel every day will make the ground full of fields!"

This crude and awkward slogan inexplicably filled the four people with energy. The alkaline melon seedlings in the experimental field seemed to be infected by this energy and grew stronger day by day.

This piece of land that has been gray and red for a long time finally appears a sickly bright green.
