"Come, son, eat a piece of meat. How thin have you become in the past few months..." Tang Fuyun's skin is pale, obviously a sickly white color that has never seen the sun. The blood vessels are clearly visible under the skin. She is also over 50 years old. There are many more wrinkles, and Zhang Xu can still vaguely see some gray hair.
She gently picked up a piece of lunch meat. The ordinary people who can eat meat now are probably the scientific talents working on the front lines of the laboratory.
They don't get meat every day. This is a canned food distributed once a month. Today she specially opened the canned food in her private collection. Zhang Xiaofeng, as the head of the family, also left these good foods to his wife. There are four cans in it, two of which have his share.
Normally, like everyone else, they ate food made from old rice and moldy flour. The young man had a good stomach and was naturally fine, but it was obvious that Zhang Xiaofeng and Tang Fuyun couldn't bear it.
Zhang Xiaofeng was not good at words and kept dealing with these situations without mentioning them, and Zhang Xu didn't know anything about them.
The daughter is close to her father, and the son is still close to his mother. When she met Zhang Xu, Tang Fuyun naturally said that it was not that she didn't like this base, it was just a chat during dinner.
After all, no matter how unpalatable the food is, it is just a form of energy for them. The amount they consume in a day can sustain life, and they will not say anything. Moreover, they are much better than the ordinary people outside the base. Tang Fuyun is also very good. Contentment.
She is just worried about her precious son. In the face of maternal love, she can give up everything.
Hearing these words, Zhang Xu's heart ached a little. He could not lift the car with one hand without shaking, but the chopsticks in his right hand could not hold the luncheon meat slices in the bowl.
"Look how excited you are. From now on, you will live with mom. There will be canned meat every month. Mom will definitely keep it for you." Tang Fuyun looked at Zhang Xu's familiar and unfamiliar face, with kind eyes and a soft voice.
She didn't know how Zhang Xu had been living these past few months, but just looking at her son's tattered appearance, she knew he must have suffered a lot.
In fact, every time Zhang Xu fought, the clothes inside his body could not withstand his power and were easily broken. Even if there was blood covering his whole body, it was impossible to maintain that state forever, plus the time on the way here. It was very urgent and I didn’t change a few sets.
"Mom..." This time, Zhang Xu cried again.
"Okay, okay, don't cry anymore. You are almost 19...the blink of an eye flies by so fast." Tang Fuyun also choked up when Zhang Xu cried like this. After all, which mother in the world is willing to let her child go? What about hardship?
The sun rises and the moon sets. In this simulated time base, the three days pass just like outside. Zhang Xu is separated from his parents.
Zhang Xu felt that his parents' life was too difficult and wanted to take his parents away, but even if the two of them agreed, he still needed the consent of the person in charge, Teng Jing. Obviously, the other party would not do this.
Even if there are no rules outside the apocalypse, within the base, you must abide by the rules of this base.
Zhang Xu's parents knew many confidential matters. Unless the superiors agreed, Zhang Xu could only take them out if they died.
Of course, he could just keep doing it and take his parents and the starship away by force, but he would have to face wanted orders from other bases, which was not advisable. Without experience in space, he would not take risks decisively.
Before, he and Teng Jing were discussing their parents' affairs, and there was some quarrel between them. Two days later, Zhang Xu was not the kind of person to be petty. After thinking about it from his perspective, he naturally let go of the estrangement in his heart.
"Uncle Teng, are you looking for me?" Zhang Xu came after receiving Teng Jing's invitation.
"This time I trouble you... I want you to find my daughter." Teng Jing took a deep breath and then spoke out his heart.
Zhang Xu frowned when he heard this, daughter? He had not seen his daughter before coming, and was probably out searching for supplies.
"Uncle Teng, don't worry, because of your relationship with my dad, I will definitely go." Zhang Xu made a pun, and his meaning was very clear. If you don't let my parents leave, then your relationship will not be the same. Great, this way I can just pretend when I go out to do things.
Zhang Xu is very shrewd, and so is Teng Jing. He also understood the meaning: "Okay, if you can bring my daughter back safely, I will allow your parents to leave here."
The corner of Zhang Xu's mouth curled up. He was originally at his wits' end, but now he became a favorable party in the negotiation and took over the information.
Teng Youyi, Teng Jing's eldest daughter, has been relatively free and easy-going since she was a child. She is not used to staying in a dark underground base, so she likes to go out and play in private.
However, she is an evolver, with a genetic level of 6.48, which is quite satisfactory in this base, but many people fawn over her identity.
Due to the shortage of food and resources in the base, most of the supplies on the ground have been collected, and the rest are in dangerous places.
So Teng Youyi, led by the first evolver of the underground base, went to the city center of Shang H City, where there was the entrance to the underground base. Soon Zhang Xu came here alone.
Standing under the towering high-rise building, Zhang Xu felt a sense of loneliness and desolation. The originally prosperous technological city had become dilapidated, with bloodstains everywhere.
The main underground city of Shang H City covers an area of 5,300 square kilometers and is 834 meters deep. It can accommodate up to 80 million people. This is the only place that the Chongming Island Base has not set foot on. Because of this, Teng Youyi and the others have Would venture into here.
…
The entrance is large, with a two-way staircase that leads directly to the entrance of the underground city. A dark gate has been torn open. It is obvious that it was made by Teng Youyi and the others.
Zhang Xu did not hesitate and entered the city of science and technology directly. He was greeted by the pungent smell of corpses, which was very rich and strong. The turbid stench stimulated Zhang Xu's eyes, which made him burst into tears.
The smell was really so bad that even Zhang Xu couldn't bear it.
Although the underground city has a ventilation system, after the outbreak of the apocalypse, the exhaust and vents here have been cut off. Tens of millions of residents have flocked to the gate, and a few of them have become infected, showing no mercy. pounced on the residents.
Death, fear, and darkness, in this kind of environment, can completely collapse many spirits and worldviews, and the infection can spread very quickly, spreading from one person to ten, or even to hundreds.
Many people began to hide in order to survive, and some even climbed into the ventilation ducts. Zombies and survivors were blocked together in these narrow places. After several months of decay and brewing, it became a hell field.
Zhang Xu actually found clues as soon as he entered the door. There was a fluorescent stick a few hundred meters away. The light was very weak, but it was enough to confirm that they had come in and planned to go deeper.
Their situation is quite lucky. The sound of breaking the door did not attract the zombies inside. This is enough to show that they are well prepared. This can make Zhang Xu feel relieved. What he is most worried about is that Teng Youyi will die. it's here.
If she died, the matter regarding her parents would probably have to be solved through violent means.
This underground city was the first to be built in country Z. When it was originally designed, due to technical reasons, it was dug downwards at a 35-degree slope in a stepped manner. This technical difficulty is very small and very safe. Then expand all the way and build a base until you reach 824 meters.
Now that the technology is better, you can dig directly vertically, but this technology seems to be only used on Mars.
Because of this, the city has a long avenue that leads directly to the entrance, and of course there are elevators, but they no longer exist after the apocalypse.
In order to cause unnecessary trouble, Zhang Xu did not disturb the zombies inside, so he chose to walk on the roof. Obviously, Teng Youyi and the others also chose to walk on the roof.
It was easy to find the people in their team. Tengjing gave them the team's signal ball.
The signal ball will emit electromagnetic waves of different frequencies, which can be used to call for help or notify them to locate their location. Xiao An's scan is almost coming to an end. The city is very large, so it takes a long time.
After looking at the location of the signal balls on the picture, Zhang Xu decided to go to the nearest one, but he was a little dissatisfied with the result. The signal ball lay quietly on the spot, making a buzzing sound.
It is estimated that they fell off when they were panicking, or when someone asked for help, they did not have time to take away the signal ball and chose to leave directly.
Obviously, this result was very bad for Zhang Xu, indicating that someone was left behind, and this person was not sure who it was.
Another one was found, and the situation was even less optimistic. Zhang Xu found a zombie with a signal ball and all the equipment on it. Obviously, it was a member of this team, but fortunately, it was not what Zhang Xu wanted. Looking for Teng Youyi.
Xiao An only scanned two signal balls in total, and the search results for both were unsatisfactory. Zhang Xu felt a little uncomfortable. He sat on the metal roof, looking at the black dome above his head, wondering what he was thinking.
The signal ball is for calling for help. It cannot be opened at will unless there is an emergency, otherwise it will keep sending special radio waves until the power is used up.
Suddenly, Zhang Xu received a signal from Xiao An. He opened his eyes suddenly, and another signal ball started working, indicating that there were still people alive in their team!
Zhang Xu immediately jumped off the roof of the building and walked to the main street of the underground city. Regardless of the zombies on the way, he had to arrive as soon as possible.
He was very fast, like a ghost in the night, and came to a bridge spanning two tall buildings. He jumped off, and the thin film of blood formed a sliding suit, heading straight for the signal ball.
This time, we must find clues! Zhang Xu silently muttered in his mind. He opened his eyes slightly, activated his heat sensor, and saw a red figure from the ground. The heated blood was steaming white on the cold floor. Zhang Xu finally saw clearly, there were two people!
