"Xu, I know... you hate me and hate that I can't go home to see you for so long, but there are some things that you can't talk about casually. Now that you are older and more sensible..." the father in front of him said in a hoarse tone. , even though he knew that what he was facing was just the so-called camera, he still couldn't hide the emotional fluctuations in his heart.
Zhang Xu reluctantly came to the seat, covered his mouth, and wanted to cry, but he held it in hard. His red eyes looked at the ceiling, and finally looked at the screen in his hand.
"My major is genetic engineering, and my research field is specialized in human gene recombination technology and gene grafting"
"And on the day your mother and I met, we were called together by the country, and a dozen people were selected from the fields of chemistry, biology, and physics, including me and your mother."
"This is a secret research work. I'm sorry, I can't say it now, but if you, my son, can come to H City, the project leader will agree that you can tell the truth."
"Son, if you see this video, please come! Only in this way can daddy tell you the whole truth... Also, I'm sorry for you all these years!" This is what the middle-aged man in the video repeatedly emphasized to ask Zhang Xu to go Looking for him, the last three words 'I'm sorry' were heavier than all the previous words.
Since Zhang Xu was unable to know the entire ins and outs of the incident, the half-hour video covered his father's past.
It seems that all questions must be answered by finding his father in person. After reading it, Zhang Xu summoned everyone, including the four evolvers who had just entered the island.
The meeting was held in the living room of this villa. There were many people. When Zhang Xu arrived, he surrounded the surroundings and finally said in a deep voice: "I have decided, I want to go to H market."
Everyone did not speak, but their expressions were different. Yao Yuanyuan opened her mouth to speak but said nothing.
Yes, Zhang Xu's parents are still alive. This news is enough for him to leave here. The long separation seems to be separated again, and the short reunion will eventually dissolve. People can't always fantasize about beautiful longings, but also think about it. Make plans based on this cold reality.
This time, Yao Yuanyuan and everyone else did not object, but supported Zhang Xu even more and respected his choice.
"Thank you, everyone..." Zhang Xu smiled and nodded.
They left for a better reunion. The next day, Zhang Xu and the others set off with a team of 4 people. This time, because of Zhang Xu's company, their traveling speed was more than twice as fast, and there was no loss of personnel at all. .
Just when this team was sighing at Zhang Xu's strength, it took less than a month to cross more than a thousand kilometers from Hena Province to the well-known charming magic city - Shang H City.
Shang H City is one of the prosperous cities in the coastal cities of Country Z. It is only 6,419 square kilometers, while Zhengzhou City has an area of 7,507 square kilometers. It cannot even compare with Zhengzhou, the capital of Hena Province, but its population is dense. The extent is beyond imagination.
Its annual flow of people reaches about 270 million, almost double that of the entire Hana Province. At the same time, it is also the place with the largest concentration of people in the world.
This is a magical city built with the highest technology. Countless people yearn for it, but now its population has become a danger in the apocalypse.
In mid-November, although there are already signs of winter, the lowest temperature in southern winter is only minus 10 degrees Celsius, which is not worth mentioning at all.
Zhang Xu and the others stepped outside the subway entrance. The thick black blood had dried up, but the stench was still there. After looking around, they immediately motioned for the four people behind them to enter.
Countless rotting and stinky corpses turned the entire sky black. Black crows flew into the sky in swarms, forming a cleaning team. After eating the corpses, they either turned into zombie crows or mutant crows. Their sharp beaks gave people from a distance. Deeply intimidating.
Underground animals that like moisture and darkness have also begun to touch the ground, often visiting this place and competing with survivors for food. If ordinary people want to survive here, they can only evacuate here, unless the military base is right next to them when the virus starts. .
There were originally two Tianzihao bases in Shang H City. One of the army bases has been engulfed by tens of millions of zombies and is already an uninhabited ruin. The people hiding underground cannot stay underground forever. In the end, after countless survivors were lost, Evacuated this hell.
The most popular ones in H City are the subway and the maglev in the sky. Only developed transportation lines can have such a developed economic system. In this jungle of high-rise buildings, if you want to hurry, you must go underground. Zhang Xu and the others also made the same choice. .
However, there are no signs. It is impossible to find a way out with a compass and paper map alone. A subway line may cross dozens or even hundreds of tunnels. Without a reliable way, it is impossible to get out of this underground place. maze.
Fortunately, Zhang Xu and the others came prepared. The captain took out a black iron box from the side of his waist, pressed it lightly, and a small round ball slowly flew out from the inside, flashing blue from time to time. colored lights.
This is the military version of the F-Yn flying ball. Ordinary people can use it to record beautiful moments in life, or take it outdoors to take photos. Of course, it is also the first choice prop for some live broadcasting professions.
After setting the goal, Zhang Xu and the others set off immediately.
The flying ball is too small and the flight time is too short. It needs to be charged. Although there are 4 people, the walking time is still greatly increased. Zhang Xu really wants to take out the quantum device and take them on the road immediately so that he can see his own parents.
Although only his father was chatting, he also mentioned Zhang Xu's mother. They were not in the same laboratory, and their division of labor was very clear. It was almost impossible to get out of their own positions, so they would be unable to communicate for a long time.
Zhang Xu's mother has a low confidentiality level, so she can wear a mobile phone. Of course, this kind of mobile phone is also fully monitored within 24 hours, while Zhang Xu's father has a higher confidentiality level. All communication equipment is not allowed to be used, and the whole person is completely The land disappeared from the sight of acquaintances, as if dead.
Time passed quickly, and Zhang Xu and the others also walked very quickly. The Tianzihao base they were going to was on Chongming Island. This is a sedimentary island. It is composed of sediment accumulated by Changjiang rushing into the sea. Every year increasing area.
And this Tianzihao base itself is hidden. It has not set up surface facilities from the beginning, but has directly built a large-scale city group underground. Therefore, the underground air is very large, and it is enough to accommodate many survivors.
Before the end of the world, Country Z was overpopulated, with nearly 4 billion people. Therefore, in order to free up more living space, many developed countries chose to build diversified cities. Currently, there are underground cities, sea cities, and some have built space station cities.
There are many underground cities in country Z, which is also the easiest to do. Currently, the underground cities in S town, B crystal city and upper H city are the largest. Among them, the underground cities in upper H city can live in 80 million people, so country Z Its underground construction capabilities are obvious to all.
Zhang Xu and the others had reached the underground gate of the Tianzihao base on Chongming Island and were smoothly greeted by the base's internal staff.
At this moment, what appeared in front of Zhang Xu was a magnificent underground palace. There was a big gap between it and the underground of other Tianzihao bases. It could only be called a refuge, but this was the real city.
It’s not just the dull metallic feel here, there are also countless green vegetation scattered throughout this underground city. Above the head are huge simulated moons and many starry skies, which can change weather, humidity, etc. over time.
These simulated environments can isolate the personnel inside the base from the ground and form a tiny ecological circle. However, they occasionally need supplies from the ground. Now no one can provide them with supplies anymore. The only hope for survival now is to rely on themselves.
The underground space is very huge. It does not feel crowded at all like the Zhengzhou base underground. It is very spacious, just like an underground city turned upside down. You can see it in a daze.
Many times, when you are not deeply involved in something, you cannot understand its true situation by just looking at the surface.
For example, in the animal documentaries played on TV, many elephants and lions look very small, but when you are there and observe them carefully next to the zoo, you may feel how scary they are.
Zhang Xu did not have the opportunity to experience the underground city of country Z. He only saw the data in the textbook that he was the first in the world, but this did not make him truly feel his own insignificance. Now he can understand it.
The man leading the way also smiled and told Zhang Xu that this was not an underground city. It was at best a larger fortress. It would be difficult to accommodate 200,000 survivors.
The real underground city is in the city center of Upper H, but it has been completely destroyed. More than 70 million people inside may have turned into zombies, and no one dares to enter.
Zhang Xu became even more curious when he heard this, but the first priority was to see his parents.
This is a top-secret base. Today's apocalyptic situation is not optimistic. We can only open this base to the outside world to accommodate the remaining survivors. There are basically no ordinary people alive on the surface of H City. Those who come down may be those who evolve.
Other bases have high land walls and mainly build surface facilities, while the underground space has to be expanded to avoid the tide of corpses. As for the base here, the purpose of its construction is to set it underground. It is a fortress.
The equipment here is complete, the equipment is complete, and there is a long-term circulation system. Although the underground farms here cannot supply these hundreds of thousands of people, they can last for a while.
Along the way, Zhang Xu saw the pale faces of the people underground. Everyone was in bad condition. The base here was a whole and could not be expanded at will like Zhengzhou and D-tube because this base could slowly move underground. Move, but there is no need now.
