Apocalypse World Reboot
Chapter 37 Chapter 37
There is an artificial river near the base, which was built before the end of the world. The scale of the project is quite large, and it took a year and a half. It can be said that it was built in a hurry.
This artificial river runs from east to west, and water transportation is much higher than land transportation in terms of cargo capacity and efficiency, but this project was not originally included in the national plan.I don't know what kind of internal negotiations went through, and finally it was implemented at the beginning of last year.
Many things have changed since rebirth, Xu Xian is not afraid, but surprised.But he already vaguely understood the reason, and because of this, every step he took, he had to carefully consider and act carefully.
The Modu base was gradually built after the end of the world. After more than a year of defending the city, many facilities in the base were overwhelmed. In addition, Wanjia's inappropriate management policy made the class conflicts in the base more serious.
Other bases may also balance the prices in the market in consideration of long-term development, while Wanjia wants to hold all the benefits in their hands. Nowadays, besides zombies, the crystal nuclei that go out to hunt also include mutated animals and mutated plants. The Internet is enough for tens of thousands of households, but supplies are in short supply.
It's a pity that although the base has a power plant, the amount of electricity produced every day is limited, and not much is used to store materials.
The current Wanjia is basically working hard on the evolutionary and the evolutionary potion. With the evolutionary, it is equivalent to having an invincible army.At that time, both crystal nuclei and materials can be easily obtained, and Wanjia's unscrupulous continuous cultivation of experimental evolutionists is also an important factor that completely breaks the market balance.
Of course, Wan Jia thought that he could continue to be arrogant like this because he had the base and the key to the evolution potion.
It's a pity that the temperature this year is even more abnormal than last year. First, there was continuous torrential rain, and then the daily high temperature of [-] to [-] degrees. Although the space satellite has been completely scrapped due to the meteorite, humans still have more means.Through various tests and monitoring by sea, land and air, the fact that the sea level is constantly rising has been confirmed.The Modu base is at the first step, and it will be a matter of time before it will be submerged.
Such news has not been blocked, or there is no way to block it at all. It is impossible for the refugees who escaped from the southern base to keep their mouths open. Coupled with the changes around the base in recent days, interested people can always detect problems from it.
It is indeed a good thing for Xu Xian and his party that they do not need to prepare enough gasoline for use on the road, but how to take away the weapons they left in Nanshan has become another big problem.
Xu Jin and others discussed for a long time, and finally Xu Jin made a decision: "Just take the important things away, don't let these things become our burden."
The others didn't object after hearing this. They were very aware of their current situation, not to mention that they were all from military backgrounds, so they could clearly distinguish priorities, and sometimes sacrifice and abandonment were necessary.
In the end it was decided to pick a small number of suitable weapons and not take the rest.
Others have already planned to give up, but Xu Xian is reluctant. Even though he knows that better and more powerful weapons will be researched in the future, these things are brought back by them after all, and it is not a small fortune.
The base is basically busy grabbing boat tickets. After all, even warships have a limited number of places to board. In order to keep the risk factor to a minimum, a large number of people may not be taken away.
Xu Xian and the others don't have to worry too much, but not necessarily the others.
Although after that, Wan Qian sent people over from time to time to find fault, but these days have basically subsided, and the two children acted very carefully.
Yangyang is smarter and smarter, while Yueyue is too introverted. At least in Xu Xian's view, this little girl is just in a daze except for sticking with her brother every day, and basically never communicates with them.Unless it is necessary, Yang Yang will convey it.
The little girl has improved a lot after these days of recuperation, at least she will not be as gloomy and closed as before, which is also the reason for Yang Yang's enlightenment.
Of course, for these two special children, even Xu Xian didn't know what method to use to communicate with them, so he could only calm down.
Daily life is taken care of by Xiao Wu. After the two children came, they also gradually improved their food.Space water can’t be taken out frequently, and the food collected before is not a problem. There is a cultivation base in the base, and meat is more troublesome. Vegetables and fruits are easier to say.
Now water is not as tight as before, and the base has water purification equipment. Except for drinking water, which is in short supply, the rest of the daily water is okay.
People are more worried about the virus that was previously rumored to be frozen in the polar regions. After the polar glaciers melt, the virus is likely to recover and spread through various channels and even the air.
But so far, except for the overactive meteorite virus, there are no other viruses that pose a fatal threat to humans in rivers and lakes.
Xu Jin is worried about using the water directly, but it is even more unrealistic to ask Xu Xian to use the water from the space. The most important thing is that the price of water outside is too high, and they cannot afford to use bottled drinking water as domestic water. such a huge expense.
Fortunately, they have all taken the medicine left by Xu Yan, and their bodies have produced unknown antibodies, which can play a certain role in resisting viruses that are threatening to the body.
With such conditions, even Xu Jin couldn't think of a better way.
As night fell, the surroundings began to quiet down. The news that the warship was about to arrive had spread, and many people were eager to move.
After coaxing the two children to sleep, Xiao Wu got into Xu Xian and Xu Jin's car. Several people sat around with serious expressions.
Warships belong to the upper-level government, but not everyone can see through this obvious thing, and there are not a few people who want to take this powerful weapon as their own.
Xue Lei smiled sarcastically: "Wanjia really thinks that the whole country belongs to his family? Do you really think that if he masters the evolution potion, he will become rich like an enemy?"
Even if he was truly wealthy, Xue Lei would not be envious at all. Instead, he felt that he was looking for death. With such wealth accumulated, he was simply waiting to be ransacked.
Xiao Wu scratched his head, "They actually want to take away more than half of the evolutionaries. It seems that Wan Jia really doesn't understand what this means?"
Xu Xian raised the corners of his mouth, and his eyes shone with light: "The current evolutionists are wild horses that have run free, and Wanjia controls them with the evolution potion. Once they change their home venue, do you think they can really cover the sky with one hand?"
Even if the Wan family is still wishful thinking, other families will not agree.The magic city has always been the supreme stage where the great families compete with each other, and there is never a shortage of powerful families here.
Xu Jin was very calm: "The Wan family has always been the dominant family, so it is inevitable that they will be praised too much and forget their own identities and the surrounding environment, but they will wake up soon."
What he said meant something, Xue Lei said with a smirk: "That's true, no matter how good the city is, after all, this is not the main venue of the Ark Project."
Speaking of the Ark Project, Xu Xian asked suspiciously: "I forgot to ask, you all seem to be very clear about this plan."
Xue Lei curled his lips: "Can you not be clear? Si Shao, you just asked about the company, of course you don't know. Several years ago, the company was entrusted by the superior to deliver a large amount of supplies to the west. At first we thought it was relief supplies for the freezing and snow disasters. That’s why it didn’t feel right.”
Originally, this matter should be a matter of the military, but Xu Jin's identity is different after all.As the personal bodyguard of the fourth young master of the Xu family, his identity is very different from ordinary people. Of course, the most important thing is the decision of Xu Ye and Xu Yan.
This can be regarded as indirectly dragging Xu Jin into the water, and the Ark Project was not accepted by everyone at the beginning. You must know that everyone has their own plans. Even if there were many natural and man-made disasters around the world at that time, few people really wanted I believe this is the prelude to the end of the world.
Thoughts surged in Xu Xian's mind: "So, the higher-ups have anticipated the worst from a long time ago and started building shelters."
Xue Lei nodded: "That's right, but at that time, even few of us felt that the problem would be so serious."
Xiao Wu couldn't help sighing: "Not to mention the foresight, but he definitely has the foresight. The person who proposed this plan can be said to be the savior of all mankind."
Xu Xian didn't continue to speak, but turned to Xu Jin and said: "In the next two days, find a chance to get back the things you want to take away, and accompany me to the inner city."
The two children can't live without people, to be precise, they can't live without Xiao Wu. Yang Yang can say that, he can communicate with Xu Xian and the others occasionally, but Yue Yue can't.
So the next day, Xiao Wu, Wang Hai, and Xu Guozhu stayed to watch the house, and the other three left the base to go to Nanshan Treasure House in the name of going out of the city to do missions.
This national treasure house has not yet been fully put into use, and there are not many things stored in it, and there are no traces of foreign invasion inside.
It's just that the mutated plants are growing too lushly, and the surrounding mountain areas that were originally barren due to landslides and mudslides caused by heavy rains have long since recovered their vitality.
Xu Xian's mental power swept across, and he couldn't help frowning: "The mutated plants around the base are growing too well."
Xu Jin nodded in agreement: "It may be the result of the mutual influence of the base here and the accompanying conditions."
Xu Xian doesn't think it's an accompanying factor, because he really can't think of any beneficial feedback that human beings can bring to nature. On the contrary, even in the last days, human beings can still plunder everything they want from nature.
Xue Lei didn't quite agree with Xu Xian's thoughts, and felt that he was a bit too pessimistic. Xu Xian always looked at the world and all human beings from an overly high position, and his thoughts were too one-sided and too negative.
But it is meaningless to argue about these now. In Xue Lei's view, the most important thing is to get the weapons that were stored in the treasure house as soon as possible.
The previously entered fingerprint and iris verification is still valid, and the independent power supply inside the treasure house is still running. The main reason is that the overall power consumption here is not large. Later, the power usage distribution map was adjusted. Basically, the main power supply is supplied to several storage facilities. Warehouse of items.
The overall area of the National Treasure House built by hollowing out the entire Nanshan Mountain is certainly not small, but many warehouses are still vacant and have not been put into use.
After this time, it is estimated that there will not be much power left in the reserve power supply. In the future, unless this area is returned to the control of the base, it will basically be abandoned.
Xu Xian and the others checked the materials stored in the warehouse. Weapons, food, and gasoline are all there. The gasoline and food must be taken away. The food is kept by itself, and the gasoline can be replaced with other materials. As for weapons, they can only choose one. A small portion is important to take away.
The three cars that were originally left here can't be taken away either. It's not easy for the few of them to get a place on the boat, and it's impossible to take the car with them, let alone they have two children with them.
Xu Xian went to other warehouses where the ancient relics were stored, and he was surprised to find that the things here basically had traces of being turned over. It seemed that someone was looking for something here, and it was in a hurry.
He told Xu Jin about this, and the latter looked serious: "We must not be the only ones who can come in here. It's lucky that the supplies in the warehouse have not been taken away."
Xu Xian feels a little pity for the ancient books here. You must know that these things will be the crystallization of the wisdom of human civilization in the future, and they are priceless treasures. If you are not worried about showing your feet, Xu Xian will definitely take all these things away.
Of course, in the end he still chose a small number of items that he thought were more important to take away. Xu Xian's mental power was able to distinguish the items that were more precious to him.The nation has a long history, and it is not certain what is a magical treasure that one does not know. Of course, one cannot easily miss it.
After leaving the treasure house, Xu Xian couldn't help looking back, then turned to Xu Jin and said, "I don't see any sign of opening on the door, and the dust on it is so thick, it doesn't seem like someone has come in."
Xu Jin helped Xue Lei count the supplies, and looked at him distractedly: "You mean..."
Xu Xian nodded: "The only people who are interested in the things here are those people."
Nanshan is not far from the base, but the road is not easy to travel. It was time for dinner, and a few people got out of the car to eat. There was a large peach grove nearby. The branches were full of mutated peaches, and they could smell the fruity fragrance from a long distance.
Xue Lei couldn't resist the temptation, and was a little strange: "Did peaches ever grow around here?"
No wonder he was surprised, such a large peach grove, even if it is a seed, the amount needed is not small. It is speculated that it should be a peach garden before the end of the world.
Xu Xian was not familiar with some of the planning and layout near the magic capital, so he didn't answer the question. Instead, he picked a peach and threw it into the space to feed to a nest of mice in front of the bamboo building.After eating the little white mouse, there was no adverse reaction except that it was much more excited than before. Xu Xian picked another one with the idea of trying it out, but was stopped by Xu Jin just as he was about to put it into his mouth for a taste.
Naturally, Xu Jin did not allow Xu Xian to eat these strange mutated fruits, even if he experimented with mice.
When the two were in a stalemate, Xue Lei in the distance suddenly exclaimed, Xu Xian and Xu Jin hurried over after hearing this, only to see that he was holding a big blue peach and eating it happily.
This artificial river runs from east to west, and water transportation is much higher than land transportation in terms of cargo capacity and efficiency, but this project was not originally included in the national plan.I don't know what kind of internal negotiations went through, and finally it was implemented at the beginning of last year.
Many things have changed since rebirth, Xu Xian is not afraid, but surprised.But he already vaguely understood the reason, and because of this, every step he took, he had to carefully consider and act carefully.
The Modu base was gradually built after the end of the world. After more than a year of defending the city, many facilities in the base were overwhelmed. In addition, Wanjia's inappropriate management policy made the class conflicts in the base more serious.
Other bases may also balance the prices in the market in consideration of long-term development, while Wanjia wants to hold all the benefits in their hands.
