Quick Travel: Card Destroyer

She looked at her: Do we have to give up here?

She said to her: We must give up here.

She was unwilling to give in: We have obviously been building together for so long...

She sighed: Yes, we have been building it for so long, but we still have to be decisive when it comes time to abandon it.

The red light illuminates the dark room, covering every dark shadow with red.

Many black figures in red clothes walked in a hurry, completely ignoring that the ground was still shaking slightly. Some of them are holding files in their arms, and some are operating skillfully at the main console. From time to time, they report to the two black figures staring at the big screen: The data transfer has been completed! ——

During the earthquake, the entire shelter was cut off from water, electricity and signals. If they were not well prepared, they would not have dared to arrange it like this.

It didn't take long for the earthquake to be felt. After about two or three hours, everything seemed to have returned to calm.

"Would you like to go out and take a look?" Several people were ready to make a move.

The companion next to him pushed it back: "Have you forgotten what we arranged before? Our base is close to the sea, and we need to be more prepared for tsunamis than earthquakes, so we have to wait for the special path explorers to go out and explore, and come back to tell us what's going on outside. Only when it is safe for now can we go out."

"Okay." Everyone who was pushed back hugged their backpacks dejectedly, like eggplants beaten by frost.

Speaking of which, a few months ago, the base suddenly required them to carry a package every day. It must contain about three days of emergency supplies, especially important personal belongings, so that they could all pack up their bags and run away with an order from the radio.

At that time, many people found it very troublesome and did not understand it. However, due to the majesty of the tyrant at the top, they had no choice but to do it, and gradually they became accustomed to having an outdoor backpack of at least 35L per person.

It wasn't until the day of the earthquake that they truly understood the tyrant's good intentions.

Because when the alarm went off, not everyone was in the dormitory, so there wouldn't be enough time for them to run back and get their bags.

The Xinpingqiu base is close to the sea. In the event of an earthquake, special care must be taken to generate a tsunami, not to mention a huge threat that seems far away but is actually approaching every day - red soil.

Earthquakes will greatly accelerate the red soil process.

Each shelter is assigned several special powers to explore the path. The main thing to prevent is red soil, followed by tsunamis.

Once they came back from exploring the road and said it was relatively calm outside for the time being, they could run to the designated meeting point as quickly as possible and wait for someone to pick them up.

Then I had to say goodbye to this exceptionally peaceful base.

Another hour passed, and the people who were staying in the shelter suddenly heard a voice full of joy: "The inspector of Shelter 3 reported that everything outside is normal!"

Several shelters in succession also received good news.

"The investigators of Vault 1 reported that everything outside is normal!"

"The investigators of Vault 6 reported that everything outside is normal!"

"The investigators of Vault 5 reported that everything outside is normal!"

……

A total of eight shelters have been set up in the Xinpingqiu base. Currently, only No. 4 and No. 7 have received no news, and no one has even stepped out.

An Cuo stared at the monitoring screen, his face as dark as water.

The worst still happened.

The structure of the shelter itself is strong enough, and it should not be directly submerged by water. Moreover, if it encounters seawater intrusion, not to mention that most of the explorers are unlikely to report "everything is normal", there should be two survival heads popping up.

But they had no news at all.

It can only mean one thing - red soil.

After confirming for the third time that there was no movement on the 4th and 7th, An Cuo made a prompt decision and issued an order through the emergency broadcast: "All personnel at the Xinpingqiu base listen to the order! Evacuate immediately! We are preparing to destroy this base!"

"Destroy?" Xie Tinghua pulled away from the post-earthquake dispatch work and looked at An Cuo in surprise. She found that her face was extremely pale and the hand holding the microphone was trembling, but she seemed to be completely unaware of it.

An Cuo swallowed subconsciously and said, "The shelter itself is intact, but 'it'... 'He' is here."

She checked over and over again with a sense of luck, and repeatedly confirmed that no damage to any shelter was found in the main control room, and no flooding warning popped up, before she had to admit that the worst case scenario had happened.

Hearing this, Xie Tinghua's expression also changed drastically. She turned around and shouted to everyone in the main control room: "We will retreat immediately! The whole team will run directly outside the base! We won't wait for support!"

After everyone else had evacuated safely, the two of them left the main control room with confidence.

While running with their backpacks, they found that the road surface did not deform too strongly, but now it was too late to return to the main control room to change the order.

Fortunately, most of the members of the base were quick-thinking. After discovering that the ground was fairly flat, they all remembered that there was a car at the base. Instead of rigidly following the orders and running to the original gathering place, they swarmed toward the garage.

They won't change their plans on the spot, and they won't be able to survive for so many years in the apocalypse.

It wasn't until he saw several modified trucks starting up safely and driving out of the base gate one after another that An Cuo breathed a sigh of relief, fastened his co-pilot's seat belt and said to Xie Tinghua, "Let's go."

As she spoke, she pressed the red button on the remote control in her hand.

Xie Tinghua stepped on the accelerator, and the last truck they were riding in slowly started to follow them.

"It's quite a pity. There has just been some progress in the greenhouse."

An Cuo muttered regretfully, took out a small player from his pocket, put on his headphones and played music.

The long-lost breakcore music entered my ears through old headphones. The listening experience seemed a bit worse than when I downloaded the music a few years ago, with less layering and more noise.

It’s the end of the world, don’t be too particular, just make do with it. So she thought.

There may be aftershocks next, but if you run away, you can only wait and see your fate.

-

The convoy evacuating the base drove away.

Under the white curtain, the shock wave of the base's self-destruction did not affect the outside world.

Not only did it tightly trap the entire self-destruction, it also prevented the base from being soaked in sea water before it successfully self-destructed.

The huge waves repeatedly hit the white curtain, creating several ripples, but they were unable to shake it even one bit.

The white curtain did not allow the serial explosions to wreak havoc on the land outside the base, but it could not block the spread of light. The light produced could almost blind people.

After a long time, the crazy "flash bomb" gradually subsided.

Strangely, the remains of the base after the explosion showed almost no signs of burning, but seemed to be wet.

The entire land seemed to have been plowed by giant farm tools, and the deep soil was rolled out, mixed with various building debris.

Blood-like red seeped out from the cracks in the soft soil, and soon spread to the entire base. The white screen faithfully fulfilled its mission, preventing the dark red inside the base from spreading even a little bit.

After an unknown amount of time - or rather, the concept of time has collapsed in this place - black appeared in the cracks of the red earth.

The black seeped out slowly at first, but as the seepage intensified, it gush out faster and faster, becoming like a fountain.

It was as if the bottom was completely soaked by sea water.

When the black fountain reaches the height of a person, it no longer increases the intensity of the eruption, but distorts into other forms.

One.

two.

Three.

Until it can’t be described in numbers.

If an observer is placed nearby, it is not difficult to see clearly that the black shadow has turned into a human shape, and it seems to be holding something in its hand, which looks like a farm tool.

After each fountain condenses the human form, it begins to wave the shadows like farm tools in its hands, harvesting something on the red soil.

They work tirelessly and know no reason to be tired.
