Survival [End Times]

After returning to the safe isolation area, Yu Heng put the chair on his bed. Zheng Zekui asked him: "You went outside? Aren't you afraid that the poisonous fog will suddenly come out?"

He shook his head, untied the sheets, picked out the miscellaneous things inside, sorted them and put them away. Then he took out a book and sat on a chair to read it.

Zheng Zekui thought that he had such a temper, and felt helpless, but she couldn't help but talk to him all the time. I had no choice but to take out the manual and look at it in boredom.

After spending time reading books in the evening, he went to the cafeteria to have dinner.

The structure of the negative two floor is actually very simple. In the past, there was only this hall, which was filled with ice sculptures and various ice and snow scenes. Later, it was designated as a safety isolation area. Except for the negative first floor, which was not moved, the second floor was Big change——

First of all, the hall on the second floor was dug bigger, with its back facing the direction of the first floor. It was expanded to the left, right and front, four times in size. There were many giant supporting iron frames, support plates, etc. in the hall. , just to safely hold up the large open space that was dug up.

Then I dug three extra small holes, which were in three directions. One is the bathroom, one is the canteen, and the other is the lounge for the security team stationed on the second floor.

Yu Heng has never been to the lounge, but this is his first time in the cafeteria.

The manual states the purpose of the six-point cardboard I got yesterday. It turns out that when passing through the security check, the staff made an estimate of how long the food can last based on the amount of food each person brought.

Drawing six points means that Yu Heng's food is enough for him to eat half full in six days.

This information has been entered into the credit card when registering. Six days later, Yu Heng can use this card to receive food in the canteen.

Of course, now you can only get one liter of hot water per day with this card.

Yu Heng went to the cafeteria now just to get this liter of hot water, intending to make instant noodles.

There were no tables or chairs in the canteen. After getting water from the dining table, he found a corner in the canteen and started making noodles.

However, the water was not too hot and the noodles were still a bit hard. Yu Heng didn't care and took apart the biscuits to eat with the noodles. After eating, put the bowl in a plastic bucket, and someone from the canteen will clean it.

The water bottle he was given in the cafeteria was a mineral water bottle. The person who filled him with water said, "I will still use this to get water from now on. If I lose it, I have to prepare a water container myself."

Conditions do not allow it, and we do not care about whether repeated use of mineral water bottles is bad for the body.

After dinner, he went for a walk outside the gate to eat. Suddenly he heard the sound of the radio. He stopped and stood by the door to listen. It probably meant that he heard it. It was a warning to the residents to read the manuals distributed carefully, especially It is the first article regarding violation of management regulations.

There have been more than 20 violations of the regulations in the past few days, and the parties involved have been punished. I hope other people can learn from this and consciously abide by the management rules.

Then came the self-examination of these twenty people. Yu Heng heard the voice of a young man in it. He was doing the introspection on behalf of his son. At the same time, he reflected that he had not played a guiding role as a guardian and would accept punishment on his son's behalf. , cleaning the canteen rice bowls for half a month...

Hearing the embarrassment and dissatisfaction in the man's awkward words, Yu Heng couldn't help but smile.

After digesting, he changed places. He has always been curious about how such a large underground city will circulate air after it is closed if the poisonous fog comes.

On the negative second floor, there was no place similar to an exhaust port.

He walked around the gate and walked toward the back of the dungeon from the side. The first floor of this building is except for the reception hall at the entrance. The space behind it was originally a parking lot and an open-air skating rink.

However, when Yu Heng walked over, he found that the place where the skating rink used to be was surrounded. There were armed policemen in police uniforms guarding the entrance of the skating rink. When he saw him, he said, "No outsiders are allowed to enter here. Go back quickly!"

His eyes quickly turned around a few times, nodded and walked back.

If he saw it correctly, there were six objects in the middle of the rink that were as tall as one person and had no apparent purpose.

He wondered: "Could that be the air passage?" He then mentally estimated where that location corresponded to where underground -

He has been to the management area next door. In fact, roughly speaking, the structure of the entire dungeon is roughly similar to the symmetry of human lungs, and the entrance reception hall is in the middle of the two. The large open space we just saw covers the sky above the "lungs", and the distribution of the six machines is exactly three on each side of the "lungs".

Thinking of this, Yu Heng went to figure out where the three machines on the people's side were. It seemed that one was close to the sky above the negative first floor, and the other two were above the negative second floor?

While pondering, he re-entered the safe area. This time when he passed the negative first floor, he walked slowly and carefully observed the ceiling of the negative first floor. Later, he saw a place near the stairs on the second floor below the negative first floor. Black shadow.

As mentioned before, the entire underground city was coated with a layer of isolation agent inside and outside, which emits a warm yellow shimmer every night. The place Yu Heng found was exactly dark.

He turned on the flashlight and looked at it. He only saw a plaster-like gap about six meters above the ground, but he couldn't see the specific situation.

"That's the exhaust port." The security team patrolling nearby told him.

"Why isn't it written in the manual?"

A security guard laughed: "It's so high that no one can touch it without tools. If someone was carrying a ladder to destroy it, we would have discovered it early on."

"Okay, this is not something you should be exposed to. Go back to sleep quickly. The more you sleep, the taller you will grow." He treated Yu Heng as a child.

Yu Heng's eyelids twitched. Lu Heng was only 1.6 meters tall, so he was indeed a little short.

Sigh, if it weren't for someone like Zheng Zekui who had been helped by him, looking at his appearance, he would still think that he was inexperienced and very unreliable.

But he still wanted to ask: "Brother, won't this exhaust vent also let in the poisonous mist?"

"Hahaha, so you're afraid of this? Don't be afraid! I'm a rough guy and I can't tell. Anyway, I heard that there are several layers of filters in the exhaust port? Anyway, it will isolate the poisonous mist layer by layer. Don't If you’re worried, go to bed quickly, you won’t grow taller if you sleep late.”

Is this big brother's only trick to scare "little kids" into not growing taller?

Yu Heng acknowledged his kindness: "Thank you, brother, I'll go to sleep."

"Okay, go quickly. Turn on the flashlight and look at the stairs. Don't fall."

Returning to the negative second floor, Yu Heng also found two other gaps. These two gaps were quite far apart, but the height was much higher than what he saw on the negative first floor.

"What have you been looking at?"

Zheng Zekui couldn't help but ask him: "Is there anything interesting on the ceiling?"

"Exhaust port."

"Oh." After a while, she came to her senses and remembered her previous experience at Mintian Railway Station. She almost jumped up: "Then what do you see about the exhaust port? Is it safe and reliable?"

"The security guard said it's pretty reliable, so don't worry."

Zheng Zekui muttered: "He must have told you this, otherwise who would dare to live here."

Yu Heng unfolded the quilt noncommittally and planned to sleep, when he heard Zheng Zekui ask him: "Aren't you worried?"

"What's the use of worrying? Is there any other safer place than here?"

It's useless. Their level has no access to the management. Since they have chosen this place, they can only believe - believe that the underground city that has been renovated with a lot of manpower and material resources can withstand the test of the poisonous fog, and believe in the organizational power of the government and the scientific and technological power of the country. .

If even the power of the country and government cannot protect them, it will not be too late to worry and despair.

Yu Heng knew very well that the apocalyptic form of this task world destined individuals to be dependent on the state and government.

This is unlike the previous zombie apocalypse, where large-scale explosive zombies disintegrated part of the government's power. In a short period of time, people needed to be self-reliant until security bases established by various forces emerged.

But it is undeniable that no matter what kind of apocalyptic situation, the power of the country cannot be ignored. It can quickly stand up from the ordeal and once again build safety barriers for the broad masses of the people.

And in this apocalyptic world where poisonous fog prevails, this power is even more prominent - technology and the most cutting-edge scientific research results are beyond the control of ordinary people and ordinary companies.

The strong corrosiveness of the poisonous mist swept everywhere, and I couldn't hold on alone. Looking at the Mintian Railway Station before, it was much better prepared than ordinary people, but it still couldn't hold on.

Zheng Zekui sighed: "You can see clearly, I'm too anxious." She originally wanted to go home, but ended up being trapped here. She was worried about her family and herself. She couldn't regulate her mood well and was uncontrollably irritable. stand up.

"Don't think too much, just go to sleep."

Yu Heng spent the next few days like this: after getting up, he went out for a morning jog, then had breakfast, then walked out all day, and didn't come back until evening.

Every day a little adds up, the harvest is good, and the food and use have increased. He later found five boxes of plastic sheet assembly cabinets that were still intact in a bedding store. After taking them back, he sold them all except one box for his own use, in exchange for a bunch of instant noodles, candies, biscuits and other food.

After this time, he did not go further because the predicted arrival time of the poisonous fog was not far away, and he was afraid that this time it would arrive early and he would not be able to make it back.

He planned to just stroll outside the gate every day. In fact, he felt that it was not good for people who never went out after coming in to stay underground like this.

Not to mention anything else, even though there are ventilation ducts underground, the air is really bad. When there are more people, there are all kinds of smells, and there is a bathroom...

Anyway, he couldn't bear to stay in there all day now.

Looking at those people who have been there for many days, they look very wilted.

Now he is installing this plastic sheet assembly cabinet. After opening the box, take out the hollow tube and three-piece iron frame inside, and start assembling it after reading the simple instructions.

It was indeed quite simple. Yu Heng installed it in just a few clicks. Finally, he put the plastic cloth in place, pulled the zipper, and a neat cloth cabinet was ready.

Yu Heng placed the cloth cupboard next to the wall. Each bed was two meters by two and a half meters in size, and the cloth cupboard was not narrow enough to put it down.

With this linen cupboard, he carefully organized the things he had collected recently, stacking and hanging them, and soon the cupboard was full, but the bed was finally much neater.

"It looks really good, little brother, are you really not going to sell it to me?"

"Not for sale."

"Then can you still find this kind of wardrobe? I'll buy it from you!"

"No, I won't go out."

After sending everyone away, Yu Heng went to the toilet and got ready to sleep.

As usual, I practiced before going to bed, and then fell asleep. In the middle of the night, it seemed that someone entered the safe zone again, and the underground first floor was very noisy.

Fortunately, the underground second floor was full, and the people who came now could only live on the underground first floor, otherwise it would be even noisier.

In his dream, Yu Heng thought vaguely: I came to this underground safe zone, but the mission was not completed. So where is the "city"?

Tickets?

According to the paper dropped at that time, these safe zones do not require admission fees. So it seems that there is indeed no such thing as a "city ticket".

It seems that we have to wait.
