What do tall buildings rely on to rise from the ground?

Incredibly solid foundation!

A news agency once calculated the vertical height of Thousand Sail City including Thousand Sail Racing City. Although it is not ten thousand feet, it is still two to three thousand meters.

This means that walking from the lowest ground to the highest point of Thousand Sail Racing City is almost equivalent to climbing half of Mount Everest!

For such a magnificent city to stand to this day, there is no doubt that its foundation is extremely solid.

However, this foundation was not there from the beginning. The original Qianfan City was just a slightly prosperous city, and its foundation was the land where the city was located.

However, with the continuous expansion and elevation of the city over the past century, the original foundation can no longer meet the needs of urban expansion and can only be reconstructed and reinforced.

The connection and reinforcement of the superstructure alone is not enough. It is necessary to ensure that the bottom building does not collapse.

Therefore, No. 39 and No. 40 among the lower-level communities became inevitable targets for transformation. Even if they were the predecessors of Thousand Sail City, they had to succumb to the needs of urban construction in the end.

The city that was originally built of steel and concrete has now become a city of steel and concrete.

There seems to be no difference between the two sentences before and after, but the situations they represent are completely different!

Everywhere you can see stone pillars with a diameter of more than 20 meters and steel structures full of rivets and welding marks. These extremely rough buildings are not even worthy of being called buildings. They are just building frames that have been enlarged several times, or even dozens of times. , used as a load-bearing column or a fixed frame in some positions.

To a certain extent, these ugly fillers, which can be regarded as urban "patch", effectively enhance the bearing capacity of the foundation, but also completely transform these two urban areas that were originally living communities into any living areas. A hell that everyone in it wants to escape from!

The buildings that were built haphazardly blocked the few sunlight coming in from the outside world.

Even cold storms and snow are a luxury here.

Just like when a person is injured, wound pain and numbness are normal. If you feel uncomfortable, you can always feel that you are still alive.

When the huge wound is still bleeding but cannot bring any feeling to the person, this kind of numbness is the most terrifying!

The high-rise buildings that existed hundreds of years ago are now broken ruins where refugees gather. Dark hollows are scattered throughout them. Those who don't know think they are mountain caves housing monsters.

Due to the power outage, it was clearly noon, but it was filled with boundless darkness, breeding the deepest despair.

Two white light beams shine through the thick fog between the steel frames and reflect on the stone pillars, illuminating the large stains and countless broken scratches on the surface.

Several airships circled around the stone pillars and shuttled between the frames, switching and maneuvering from time to time to avoid the steel cables and abandoned crane arms scattered everywhere. Due to the thick fog, it was often necessary to watch the driver's eyes. Spot reaction.

No matter how you look at it, flying an airship in a place like this is extremely dangerous, because from the beginning of the transformation, the convenience of flying an airship has not been considered.

However, the pilots of the Ouroboros organization obviously had some skills, and they managed to find a suitable passage in the complex environment, and finally landed on a steel platform.

After the airship stopped, several members of the Ouroboros organization immediately got out of the car and rushed to a tall oval building ahead with boxes containing fruits in their hands.

Halfway there, you can see a road sign nearly one meter long and wide, clearly marked: Municipal Gymnasium.

At the same time, there were well-armed soldiers in the nearby mist, surrounding several men in black robes and approaching here. When they encountered the man holding the box, they immediately separated some of them to serve as guards and sent them to the gymnasium, while the rest Keep moving closer this way.

When we arrived at the front boat, someone immediately bowed forward and opened the door.

Behind him, except for the soldiers who needed attention, the others bowed at almost ninety degrees, highlighting the noble status of the people in the car.

"Master Saito, it is an honor to meet you."

"Um"

He responded and stepped out of the airship.

The person who opened the door immediately walked around and put a black velvet feather coat on the man named Saito-sama. The latter's burly figure could hold up the heavy feather coat. When propped up, the python emblem embroidered with gold thread on the back is really eye-catching.

"How's the progress?"

Saito half-squinted his eyes, with a few wrinkles appearing at the corners of his slender and narrow eyes, and the thickly colored tattoo on his neck squirmed with his movements.

"There are 40 infected bodies, and there were 5 left when I came to greet you. This should be the final stage, and the next step of the plan can be carried out immediately."

"Is it enough?"

"Don't worry, we have prepared a lot of extra sacrifices. When the mutation begins, they will become the first batch of nutrients."

He answered the questions carefully, fearing that something would go wrong and make the other party unhappy.

"Has Feidi contacted you in the past two days?"

"Lord Feidi, the last time he contacted me was two nights ago. He asked me to pick up those people who betrayed the organization. There has been no contact since then."

"Send a few people to look for him in Community No. 37. He should still be performing tasks. If we find him, let him come back as soon as possible. Things now are more important than those tools."

There is no doubt about the importance of this operation. Feidi was very unhappy with his procrastination at this juncture. After finishing speaking, he ignored the people following him and walked forward with a gloomy face.

The guards who originally followed them separated and took over with several people on the docking platform of the airship.

It is naturally not a good thing to be on duty in the fog in this kind of weather. The damp and cold air can make the cold penetrate into the bones. Therefore, after the pilot of the airship left, several guards immediately tacitly hid under the nearby steel frame.

There was an oil drum half as tall as a man. When the top cover was lifted, hot air mixed with carbon ash floated out of the drum.

"Hurry up and add firewood, don't let the fire go out, otherwise you will have to light it again, which will be very troublesome!"

The leader held an unlit cigarette in his mouth. He directed his subordinates to quickly get some firewood from a nearby hiding place and threw it in randomly. After a while, bright yellow flames started to rise. He stretched out the cigarette and lit it before putting it back in his mouth. , took a puff quite comfortably, and several soldiers nearby also put down their guns and began to take out cigarettes from their pockets.

Just as it was lighting up, the soldiers facing the outside of the platform noticed that the mist in the air was constantly rolling as if it was being stirred by something.

"Captain, look over there, something seems wrong."

He put down the cigarette in his hand temporarily and said loudly.

"If an airship approaches in this weather, even if you can't see it, you can hear the sound dozens of meters away. If you see the headlights of a car, it should be the wind blowing in or a passing bird. Why? , you are still worried about someone flying down from the sky."

Before he finished speaking, there was a clanging sound of a blade being unsheathed in the mist behind him. Before he could react, the flame in the oil barrel in front of him suddenly went out as if it had been poured water, and a large amount of white mist was released. The sound rose up, covering all sight.

Immediately afterwards, there were sounds of broken flesh and blood in my ears. When the fog dissipated, I looked around and saw only corpses on the ground!

"Smoking is bad for your health, no one told you this?"

Someone was behind him, and while the blade was sheathed, he was walking past him as he spoke.

Subconsciously, he grabbed the rifle hanging on his chest, only to find that all the strength in his body had long since dissipated. When he tried to speak, all he spit out was thick plasma.

"Just now you scared me when you said someone would fly down from the sky and do something."

Those were the last words he heard before everything in his field of vision fell into complete darkness.

Naturally, the only one who appeared here was Zhu Jue, who had been following them all the way. He originally planned to skip these people, but after getting closer, he found that the light cyan wings behind him were gradually dissipating. He could only use the last bit of energy to land to catch these people who might have discovered him. Clean up all the people.

As for relying on the energy in the jade ring to maintain flight status, Zhu Jue does not want to use this ability unless he has to. Although the Poseidon Ring can barely suppress it, this can only ensure that the energy in the ring will not try to control him, and will still cause Mental confusion.

There would be a fight later, and Zhu Jue didn't want to weaken his combat effectiveness before the fight started.

"No wonder they set up a stronghold here. This kind of ghost place even saves the cost of special effects!"

Taking pictures of the surrounding environment with a camera, Zhu Jue, who entered Community No. 39 for the first time, did not expect that the environment here would be so bad.

Under the gray sky and the thick fog that cannot be dispersed, random debris and oil drums are scattered on both sides of the platform. Occasionally, abandoned vehicles parked on one side can be seen, and the steel structures surrounding the platform are looming in the middle, as if The monster's outstretched claws.

Zhu Jue also noticed the sign that read Municipal Gymnasium, but judging from the bullet marks and dark red blood stains on it, no one had probably been to this place for a long time.

When the outline of the gymnasium became clearer in front of us, the sound of conversation suddenly came from the front.

Zhu Jue immediately waved his hand upwards, and the sand line hooked up to the steel frame on top, leading his body into the air and into the mist.

There will be two more updates later
