A long-distance bus with large areas of paint peeling off slowly stopped at the narrow platform.
After a long journey of more than ten hours, the passengers who were dying suddenly became energetic again. They were not willing to wait for a moment and rushed towards the door.
An ordinary young man just walked out of the station among the crowd.
Several hotel owners were waiting for customers at the station entrance. Long-term experience has allowed them to target out-of-towners with large and small bags. So after scanning the young man's empty hands, he didn't look at him again.
If someone asked them to recall afterwards, it would be almost impossible to think of this young man who existed in both their visual and mental blind spots.
After leaving the station, the young man, to be precise, the young man named Qiu Yu, spread his perception in all directions, collecting all the information he wanted at an incredibly efficient speed.
This is already the fifth day of the countdown to doomsday. Since the information about the doomsday was released five days ago, Qiu Yu has not done anything that can be considered important. I just kept changing vehicles and arrived at this small county town surrounded by mountains.
Although it is much faster to take a plane or train, the spread of perception is not invisible after all, and will leave more or less traceable traces for those who are interested. Therefore, for the sake of safety and to allow enough time for the doomsday manual to ferment, these five days are not considered a waste.
From the very beginning of the plan, Qiu Yu had no intention of building an evacuation site by himself.
Let’s not talk about whether there is enough time to complete the preparation. Even if there is enough preparation, it will be too conspicuous. So Qiu Yu directed a drama of "making everyone smart", hiding himself among countless artificial smart people.
As long as one out of ten people sees the doomsday response manual, one out of a hundred people who sees it believes it, and one out of a hundred people who believes it actually digs a hole, then there will be tens of thousands of evacuees in this country alone. pit. Moreover, these refuge pits are all in appropriate locations and have appropriate configurations. Even if highly intelligent enemies appeared, it would be difficult to easily find Qiu Yu in so many hidden pits.
To put it simply, what Qiu Yu needs to do next is to grab one directly. Fast, safe and efficient.
Of course, he didn't intend to leave his fate completely in the hands of others. Since you still have plenty of time, you can also grab a semi-finished product and make some modifications yourself.
After walking through several streets, Qiu Yu, who was like a black hole of information, collected more information than he expected.
Even though we are now in an extremely remote city, due to the convenience of the Internet, in terms of information, it is not much behind big cities. You can hear talk of emergency doomsday response manuals everywhere on the street. What was most beyond his expectation was that the dissemination efficiency of this information was so high.
Theoretically speaking, from the perspective of normal-thinking people, the so-called emergency doomsday response manual is spreading panic information. If nothing else happens, the government will soon take action and block all relevant information on the Internet that is accessible to the vast majority of people. However, for now, the governments of this world seem to be completely ignoring this thing.
In the eyes of some special groups, if sufficiently exciting information is not denied by the government, they will think that the government is acknowledging its authenticity, and then they will spare no effort to spread the information that excites them wildly.
However, high dissemination does not mean high acceptance. Another important reason why the manual can be widely known is that many incredible supernatural events seem to have occurred around the world in the past few days. Every incident was well-organized, and both the evidence and logic were complete and rigorous. At least Qiu Yu couldn't find any obvious flaws just by looking at the information circulating on the Internet.
It's just that once every supernatural event attracts the attention of enough people, it suddenly disappears. No matter how you investigate, no trace of it can be found. It was as if a force more supernatural than supernatural was erasing it.
The more information Qiu Yu got, the more frightened he became. On the one hand, I am surprised that there are so many signs that the end has not yet begun. On the other hand, he was shocked that among so many signs, he was completely unable to determine what type of apocalypse it was.
Tightening the note given by the gatekeeper in his pocket, Qiu Yu accelerated the implementation of the plan.
Two days later, he found a pit that made him somewhat satisfied in a mountain village more than 20 kilometers away from the small town.
Although it is the same as the more than ten basements found earlier, they are all temporarily built, but the degree of completion here is relatively high. It should be an expansion based on the original building. Not only does it have more than one hundred cubic meters of space, but it also has a certain amount of work. reinforcement and reasonable space division. The geographical location is in a mountain depression two thousand meters above sea level. It is about one hundred meters away from the settlement area where the road has been hardened in the mountain village. It is not far, but it is not close either.
Only the water source is a little more troublesome. There are neither wells nor mountain springs within a hundred meters nearby. The water supply relies on water pipes connected from the weir canal.
But there are also benefits to being less than perfect. At least if someone filters and searches exactly according to the content in the manual, there is a high chance that this place will be ignored.
Once you’ve chosen a place, all that’s left is how to deal with the original owner.
For Qiu Yu, problems that can be solved with money and force are not problems. And logically speaking, the owner here built this shelter because of the information he got from Qiu Yu. On the contrary, if Qiu Yu had not appeared in this world, they would have died silently in a dark corner in a few days. You may even be tortured by all kinds of bloody horrors before death. From this, it can be concluded that Qiu Yu should not feel any psychological burden if he throws them out or kills them directly.
But he couldn't do it, there was no reason, he just couldn't do it.
Power may change his personality, but the little power Qiu Yu currently possesses is far from being enough for him to regard human life as nothing.
With a wry smile, he knocked on the door of the simple country house above the basement.
"What are you doing?"
Nearly half a minute later, the person who opened the door was an Internet-addicted young man wearing a vest and underpants.
The moment he approached the door, it was enough for Qiu Yu to complete the entire scan of the house in clear mode.
There is only a minimal amount of basic furniture in the house. There were air-dried water stains in areas that could be easily polished, while the corners and higher areas were still dusty. The beds in three of the four bedrooms in the house were empty, without even bedding. The only room that was occupied had only a few seasonal clothes in the wardrobe. Next to the wardrobe is a large suitcase. Those clothes should have been taken out of this suitcase. There was a woman's satchel thrown on the bedside of the bedroom. There were several thousand dollars in cash, several bank cards and two ID cards in the satchel.
One of the ID cards belonged to an Internet-addicted young man. The address on the ID card stated that he was a resident of the provincial capital. The other one belonged to a woman of similar age to her, and the address on the ID card happened to be this house.
The condition of the house suggested that it had been vacant and uninhabited not so long ago.
The lack of thorough cleaning indicates that the cleaner has no intention of staying there permanently and is just doing it temporarily.
The fact that the two ID cards were put together shows that the two people did not meet temporarily. Even if they are not husband and wife, they should be boyfriend and girlfriend who have been dating for a long time.
There was only one suitcase and personal belongings mixed together, which meant that they did not meet here, but came here from the same place together.
As for why the person who opened the door was an Internet-addicted young man...
A place where no one lives for a long time must be disconnected from the Internet. If you only stay for a few days, you can handle it with mobile phone data. At this time, there was an IFI signal in the room. A laptop is gaming on the sofa.
Of course, bringing a computer with you to kill a few days and paying the Internet fee can also be said to be a way of enjoying life. Another basis to prove this young man's Internet addiction lies in the basement.
At the moment when he was playing the game, the young woman who was probably his wife was posting wallpaper alone in the basement...
A large amount of information is collected and analyzed in just a moment.
The young man was interrupted because he was playing a game, so the two words that seemed unfriendly had just come out of his mouth, and Qiu Yu responded.
"I'd like to stay for a few days."
"Borrowing?" The internet-addicted young man was stunned, "I haven't started this business."
Snapped--
A handbag that was opened a crack was thrown in front of him by Qiu Yu.
The Internet-addicted young man looked down and saw that there was no light in the quilt, but the red color that hurt his eyes made him dizzy.
"Let's get straight to the point. I found out from the engineering team that you just reinforced a basement here. It happened in the past few days. So I guess you did it because of the manual? I saw the manual a little later. So, if you have to dig a shelter from scratch now, you definitely don’t have enough time. Although I don’t really believe in the end of the world, I want to take precautions before it happens, so I rushed here from the provincial capital with all my strength.” Qiu Yu pointed to the backpack on the ground. , "The money in it should be enough to buy this place, but it's useless for me to buy it. I will only live here for a few days. If the end of the world happens, everyone can take care of me. If nothing happens..."
Qiu Yu paused deliberately, and walked into the room and sat down on the sofa under the anxious gaze of the Internet-addicted young man.
"If nothing happens, the money in it will be used as my rent for a few days."
Qiu Yu knew that there was no possibility for him to refuse.
In a brief explanation, Akiyu lowered his guard because he heard about it from the construction company. Reasonable reasons for action were given, citing the manual. Coming from the provincial capital has brought the relationship between the two parties closer at a subconscious level. Finally, a large amount of cash is used to force the other party's mind to accept all this.
The Internet-addicted young man squatted down, opened his bag and looked at it for a long time, "You want to be an uncle when you have money? Haha... No problem, you will be my uncle. But I'm not greedy for your little money. I just gave it to you The next step is done, the money is almost spent, and there is still a little bit missing in purchasing supplies."
Now that Qiu Yu knew about the basement, the internet-addicted young man didn't hide it. He walked directly into the bedroom where he lived, pulled up the wooden board on the floor, and walked down with his bag. After whispering a few words to the young woman inside, he quickly returned to the living room.
"We will be roommates from now on. My name is Li Cheng. Just call me Xiao Li. What do you call me?"
Qiu Yu rolled his eyes in his heart, Li Cheng? Is it the same as the half word on the ID card? But he can call it that if he wants to.
"Just call me what you just called me. I think it's fine."
"What was your title just now?" The man who called himself Li Cheng thought for a long time and said uncertainly, "Uncle?"
Qiu Yu nodded, "Now that we have introduced each other, please take me to visit my shelter."
"...No problem, you are the uncle."
