Chapter 204 The Ironic Truth(1/2)

[Only published by Jinjiang Literature City] (This chapter contains 15w nutrient solution and is updated)

It really made You Xi alert, after she saw clearly what the refugees were cooking in the camping pot.

It was a person's soles, floating with the soup rolling in the pot.

The refugees here - cannibalism!?

Whether the pot is cooked in a natural person or a person, it is not advisable to stay in this place for a long time.

But, she had already come, and she didn't want to go for a waste of time. She told Xingmin about this. After quietly observing the situation and placement area of ​​the low-altitude car, she chose the latter when she returned to drive the armored car and drive the low-altitude car directly to leave.

Anyway, I have to escape from this place of wolf and tiger. From all aspects, driving a low-altitude car is more cost-effective.

She knew what the other party was relying on. For example, although there was crystalline fuel in the low-altitude vehicle fuel tank, there was only a little left. It would be exhausted after driving for a few minutes. For example, although the warehouse was on the ground, the moving door facing outward was obviously locked. As long as they were trapped here, even if there were low-altitude vehicles, they would be unable to escape.

Of course, the smoke spraying device was an accident, but she is now fully equipped to deal with all emergencies.

After the low-altitude car drove to the safe area, You Xi leaned back into the car, closed the door, and spoke to Cheng Fang, who was still staring at him: "Notify the headquarters, those who were moving a little slower, probably all the people in the supermarket would run away."

However, the communication equipment on the low-altitude car was broken, so Cheng Fang finally contacted the headquarters with his mobile phone. Due to signal problems, it took a lot of time to explain the situation.

Based on his speculation and the information provided by You Xi, they roughly pieced together the situation here.

In contrast to their first guess, the natural person here should be the one who controls the overall situation, while the subordinates are completely suppressed. Just as some subordinates hate natural persons, the natural person here obviously cannot tolerate the existence of subordinates.

The captain of the troops originally in charge here may not have sacrificed, but may have other causes of death.

The refugees here may not be eating people because of food shortage. After all, there are still many boxes of supplies placed on the shelves on the negative floor.

They were obviously treated as prey and "food" by each other, especially Heimu and the other four...

...

As for other truths and details, it depends on the people from the headquarters to investigate.

Cheng Fang understood that his most important task was to escort Zhou Zhitong back safely, so after reporting the situation here, the two flying cars advanced at full speed in the direction of the headquarters.

After the sun set, the scorching temperature dropped, and You Xi sat in the last row and closed her eyes and rested.

The night comes, the stars and the moon rises, and the flying car travels through large tracts of land in Huaguo, barren, broken, charred, cracked...

Most areas are deserted, and occasionally you will see the shifting convoy, like migrating birds, with cars lined up in neat rows and slowly traveling between the wastelands.

Sometimes, they will also see other flying tools appear on the radar screen of low-altitude vehicles, but Cheng Fang and they choose to avoid detours from the way they face it head-on.

After six hours of such caution, the low-altitude car finally arrived at the destination of the trip.

Cheng Fang's happy voice came from the side, You Xi slowly opened his eyes, and a huge fortress stood quietly under the stars and moon.

This picture looks very similar to the scene of You Xi who had seen a science fiction movie before. The fortress is about 100 stories high and is composed of many silver-black cylinders of varying heights and sizes. The smallest cylinders are twice the size of the building in the apartment building where she lived before.

Many platforms are stretched out on the cylinder to provide landings of various flying vehicles. Many low-altitude vehicles landing on the above will be transferred into the inside of the cylinder through the passage below the platform.

On the outer edge of this giant fortress is a steel wall that is as high as forty or fifty meters.

The land outside the fence is broken and black, while the ground inside the fence is paved with clean and tidy stone slabs.

Cheng Fang told her that it was not a stone slab, but a new material that could effectively prevent the red lotus soft body from invading from the soil, and at the same time resist the invasion and destruction of the ice blade. In the gap between the ice blade stops, relying on cleaning vehicles to clear the sewage mixed with the soft wreckage out of the wall to prevent them from staying in the wall.

As for this fortress, in addition to this new material, it also has another very, very expensive material that is built.

"Driftwood?" You Xi asked.

"How did you guess it?" Cheng Fang was a little surprised.

You Xi smiled and said nothing. She could think of using driftwood to build a villa, and of course others would think of using driftwood to build other buildings.

What's more, she had already recognized this place. Not far behind the giant fortress was the mountain range where driftwood was discovered. The headquarters chose this place to build the fortress, which was impossible because she was attracted by the nearby scenery, right?

After passing the air security check, the two low-altitude flying cars stopped one in front and one behind on the platform of one of the cylinders. When Cheng Fang saw the low-altitude car parked, he turned to Xingmin and said, "In fact, this fortress had already started to be built before the end of the world, but at that time it was still a confidential matter for the troops. No one expected that this fortress would eventually become the hope and pure land for the transformation of the country."

Because this is the secret construction site of the fortress, after the Red Lotus disaster began, the people in the urban area of ​​District 29 were able to evacuate into the fortress in time and quickly.

At that time, the fortress had not been fully built, at least the ground had not been paved, and the fence had not been built yet. However, with the strength of its new materials, even ground cracks could not cause it to collapse.

Even if it is really unlucky, there is a red lotus nearby, and the fortress has its own way of protecting itself.

However, it was probably because it was on the mountains and because of good luck, the Red Lotus did not appear nearby. The fortress avoided the first disaster, and the damage caused by the gray fog and ice blades to it was even lower.

Although it was almost midnight, Zhou Zhitong's father was still waiting for his son's return.

His identity made him unable to let go of everything at the headquarters and rashly left to pick him up in person, but after knowing that the other party was still alive, he was waiting every moment.

Xingmin has all the memories of Zhou Zhitong, and he also knows that the most regrettable thing he regrets when he is dying is that he cannot see his father again.

Zhou Yuan is a serious father. Like most people on this planet, the couple has difficulty getting pregnant. When they are forty, they finally have Zhou Zhitong.

But after his son was born, he was still busy with work every day. Later, his wife died of illness, and there was a gap between him and his son, and he had not been close since childhood.

But blood is thicker than water, and that is his son after all, so how could he not love him? Otherwise, the same is true.

In the face of life and death, any barriers become extremely small, but regrettably, once Xingmin leaves Zhou Zhitong's body after leaving him without his energy maintenance, the body will soon return to a dying state and there is no possibility of continuing to live.

This fact made Xingmin feel pity for this old man who was nearly 60 years old. He was unfamiliar with Zhou Yuan, but he felt familiar with Zhou Zhitong.

He stretched out his hand and hugged him back with Zhou Zhitong's arm as the other party hugged him tightly.

You Xi looked at the person in front of him quietly, and the sound of the system popped out of his mind.

[Random mission: Within the time limit of the world's main mission, Zhou Zhitong was safely sent to the headquarters of the 29th urban area of ​​Huaguo. The number of star coins has been completed.]

You Xi woke up in a simple dark gray room.

The room is about twenty square meters, with a bathroom, a narrow window with a removable enclosed baffle, a metal bed fixed to the window, a simple dining table and chairs and an embedded induction cooker.

The small room is clean and simple, and looks quite like a cabin in a science fiction movie spacecraft. It seems simple here, but in fact, such a single room is only available because she is Zhou Zhitong's "life-savior".

Most ordinary people still live in collective dormitories with eight people, sixteen people and even more.

Like Heimu and others, they moved into a double room on several floors downstairs - of course, it is already very good compared to ordinary people.

You Xi sat up on the bed, reached out and pressed the button of the baffle. The rectangular baffle was immediately divided into two pieces, and slowly moved away outside the double-layer bulletproof glass.

As the baffle opened, the scorching sunlight from the outside fell on her body through the glass. The heat of the sun could be felt through two layers of glass, and the temperature seemed to rise again today.

There is no doubt that the next serious disaster should be high temperatures.

Fortunately, they have arrived at the headquarters, so they will not be too passive for a short period of time, and they will not have to worry too much about survival.

【Are you awake?】

Xingmin's voice rang in his mind.

You Xi:...I woke up, you asked every ten minutes since half an hour ago, can I continue to sleep?

The other party seemed to smile.

[When I wake up, I wash and eat something, and then go to the 20th floor of Building C. He Mo and the others have been caught. I will be interrogated today.]

You Xi jumped off the metal bed board, unlocked the bathroom faucet, spent five minutes to wash, put on a clean T-shirt and trousers, and then took a sea salt bread for breakfast.

Refugees here will get different access bracelets depending on the room type.

This access control bracelet is made of special materials, which is a door card, an entry and exit pass, a meal card, and a fortress internal communicator and identity identification certificate.

Each person has a ring, with his own fingerprint, iris and sound records embedded on it. Even if he is picked up, he cannot be used at will. Of course, if you lose this bracelet, it will take a lot of labor hours to recompile it.

After a few bites, You Xi took a sea salt bread with beef, eggs, tomatoes and lettuce, and went to the next room to find Xingmin, and took a shuttle bus toward Building C with him.

The shuttle bus is equal to a shuttle bus between different "cylindricals". From the building G where they are, they will go to Building C. If you walk, it will probably take an hour to walk.

It was still early, but there were already many people coming and going around. Everyone here, as long as they were fourteen years old and under sixty-five years old, had to do the arranged work every day.

The same is true for those who are younger than sixty-five years old, and whether they have a master or not, they must accept new work arrangements.

In the past, money from the peaceful world had lost its function inside this fortress. Now, there are random checks every two weeks using working hours as circulating currency for exchanging materials.

Spot checks are to check whether the other party is serious in completing work within working hours. Every workplace has a camera, so no one can be lazy in this situation.

Once you are lazy, the person's access control bracelet will be downgraded, which will be reflected in all aspects. For example, from a dormitory of 16 people to a dormitory of 32 people, the types of meals you can choose from will be reduced, the amount of water you can use will be reduced every day, and the types of items you can buy at the supermarket will be limited...

Of course, the access control bracelet can also be upgraded, but the upgrade conditions are very harsh.

So under normal circumstances, the refugees here will not be lazy, whether they are natural or human.

As for the influence of the previous rebellion, it doesn't seem to be great here. After all, if you can live in such a safe and water-free fortress, all people, whether natural or subordinate, will treat them equally, unless you have a water in your mind, you will go to the wind and rain.

Of course, not only does not have any such people, but they have been publicly sentenced once discovered.

Under the absolutely powerful law rules, the chaos in the last days has little impact on the inside of the fortress.

Therefore, some people would rather give up a safe and comfortable environment like their headquarters for their own selfishness than achieve their goals.

He Mo's story is very simple. When he took a team to escort medical supplies and cold-proof supplies to the supermarket shelter area for support, he was still an ordinary captain. The incident happened after learning about the rebellion of the person.

He has a daughter, far away from the factory area seven or eight urban areas.

She is very smart and has shown her super wisdom since she was a child. She skipped the grade all the way. After graduating from university at the age of 16, she entered the human research laboratory to continue her further studies. She became a senior engineer and has been working in the human factory.

After the end of the world, the two sides had contacted each other. The signal was fine at that time. He learned that his only baby daughter was safe and had no choice but to go to pick her up to the headquarters.

But her daughter refused repeatedly, saying that she didn't want him to take risks. After all, the distance was too far, and it was safe for her to stay there.

So He Mo tried his best to take on the task, hoping to accumulate more merits. After upgrading, he relied on the strength of the headquarters to form a team and bring the best equipment to pick up his daughter.
To be continued...
