Beehive [Apocalypse]

Chapter 56: The Key

When the two arrived at Master An's studio, Phils in a white coat greeted them like a blond angel.

"Master An is busy with the matter at hand, wait a moment." Firth said with a smile.

"Okay." Shi Chuan said.

"How's China City Construction going?" Phils asked.Phils, who didn't participate in the task of building the city, is now soaking in the side of the workaholic Master An and doesn't know what's going on outside.

"The mission is underway safely..." So Shi Chuan told Phils about the work of building the city on the ground.Bai Qia also listened quietly.

Now there will be a live scrolling video of the drone on the central square, which is for people who stay in the hive to watch.Every day, many people gather in the central square to watch.Everyone's face is full of expectations for things that can return to the ground. This is a scene that has never happened after the end of the world.Now, sadness, despair, etc. are slowly dissipating, and the broken humanity is beginning to return.Those who failed to participate in the task are now beginning to register with the Population Management Office under the central government and arrange their future work.After that, they will be sent to live in batches according to the specifications in Chinatown.

Whether to participate in the work content assigned by the central government is free for everyone to choose.If you don't participate, you will be self-sufficient after reaching the ground, and the central government will send some food seeds.Participate in the work assigned by the central government, and when the time comes, not only wages but also food will be distributed.Those who do not participate naturally cannot get wages and food.

Jobs after returning to the ground are classified as industrial and agricultural.There are many types of work, and they require a large number of workers to work. In this way, the living standard of the society will slowly recover within a few years.

When they belong to the military department, they must be transferred to other departments like Phils, otherwise no one in the military department can retire unless they are seriously injured or old.The current military department is different from before the end of the world. The current military department is more like a motley army. These hunters and individual travelers have not received formal military training at all. The only thing that can restrain them and let them stay is the new army. Treaties and weapons.

When it comes to entering the military, individual travelers and hunters don't have much resistance.Although they are more powerful than others, they are human beings first.No one would refuse to be able to return to the ground without hiding in the dark hive.And joining the military is not a big loss for them.If the loss is really counted, it is freedom.Those with strong survivability can quickly adapt to the fact that they cannot move freely and can only obey orders.

After Shi Chuan finished talking about the tasks and work on the ground, Master An happened to finish his work.Master An sat down at the table with the three young men.

"Master An." This scientist who has made great contributions to the hive, Shi Chuan respects him very much.If Master An hadn't improved and strengthened the alien sonic device for the second S-level mission, they might not be able to come back safely.The heterogeneous sonic instruments used outside are the latest upgrades, and their damage to humans has been minimized.

"Hmm. Boy Shi, I want to use your metal ball." Master An said.

In the eyes of Master An, Shi Chuan, who looks completely weak on the outside, contains powerful power inside his body, and this power can infect others.

Among the four people in Master An's studio, Bai Qia and Master An already knew about the existence of Xiaoqiu.As for Phils, he didn't know if Master An had told him about the little ball.Now that Master An is borrowing the ball in front of him, it is possible that Phils already knows the existence of the ball.

Shi Chuan took out a small ball from his pocket and said to Master An, "Yes, Master An."

The small ball was motionless in Shi Chuan's hand, like an ordinary hollow metal ball.Seeing such a small ball, Shi Chuan knew it was playing dead.So Shi Chuan poked the little ball with his finger: "Little ball, get up." The little ball still pretended to be dead in his hand and remained motionless.

"Strange..." Shi Chuan couldn't help saying.Usually small balls are not like this.

"Can you show me?" Phils said with a smile.

"Okay." Shi Chuan said and handed the ball to Phils.Bai Cha narrowed her eyes and looked at Phils.

When the hollowed-out metal ball was in Phils' hands, a smile of unknown meaning appeared on the corner of his lips.This fleeting smile was still captured by Bai Qia.

Fiers tossed the ball, and then used his fingers to trace the hollow pattern on the metal ball.

"It's really a beautiful pattern. Let me try to open it." There was a smile deep in Phils' eyes. As soon as he finished speaking, the metal ball suddenly woke up and jumped up and down rapidly.Seems to be frightened in general.Phils quickly grabbed the flying ball and said to Shi Chuan, "Look, it moved."

Shi Chuan stretched out his hand, Phils put the ball into his hand, and the ball rolled and acted like a baby in Shi Chuan's palm.Shi Chuan said to Xiao Qiu: "Xiao Qiu, Master An would like to ask you for a favor. If Xiao Qiu agrees, Xiao Qiu will roll." After Shi Chuan finished speaking, Xiao Qiu immediately rolled in Shi Chuan's palm.

Knowing that it was successful, Master An said: "Since it is possible, let's go to Noah's gate."

"Okay." Shi Chuan agreed, and then handed the ball to Master An.Master An took the ball and led the three of them to Noah's door.

The Academy of Sciences was closely connected to Noah's hull, and after a while, the four of them arrived at the door.After taking away Noah's research institute in front of the gate, Master An put his hand on Noah's gate. The next moment, a light screen appeared in front of the gate.Words they didn't recognize appeared on it.

Master An let go of the metal ball in his hand: "Open the door."

Shi Chuan stared at the ball.After Xiao Qiu heard Master An's words, the patterns on the ball suddenly opened up, and the text on the light screen changed, and then the same pattern as Xiao Qiu appeared.The moment the ball slowly approached the pattern on the light screen and merged with it, the door leading to Noah's interior, which the researcher had been studying for several years, opened quickly!

Shi Chuan's eyes widened. Before he could react, Master An quickly entered the door, and Phils reached out to grab the ball and rushed into the door.The moment the door closed, Bai Qi stepped in.Then the door closed in front of Shi Chuan!

It didn't take more than half a minute before and after, Shi Chuan was stunned.

All three of them went in, leaving only myself outside, as if it had been planned long ago.In an instant, Shi Chuan panicked, and he lay down on the door and slapped: "Master An! Brother Bai! Phils!"

Even when he patted his hands numb, the door remained motionless.

"What to do? What to do?" Shi Chuan panicked.It's all because I didn't keep up and let the door close.I don't know what the three of them will meet inside.For a moment, Shi Chuan was thinking wildly.

The researchers were attracted by Shi Chuan's lingering, and Master An must have sent the researchers away because he did not want them to know that the door was opened.In order not to let others know, Shi Chuan had to temporarily leave Noah's door.

Shi Chuan went to the hive monitoring center with concerns about them, and after explaining to the monitoring center that he had something to do and needed to connect to the ground, the staff in the monitoring room let Shi Chuan connect by himself.

Shi wears a chair, puts on a headset, and inputs Zuo Yishan's location on the ground with his fingertips, and then the drone under command flies slowly to find Zuo Yishan.Looking at the big screen, the drone gradually drove towards Zuo Yishan.Through the screen, Zuo Yishan's face was enlarged on the screen.

"Bai Cha?" Zuo Yishan's voice came to his ears through the headset.

"Zuo Yishan, it's me." Shi Chuan whispered.

"Shichuan. What's wrong?" Zuo Yishan asked.

"Brother Bai, Master An, and Fiers took the ball into Noah..." So Shi Chuan told Zuo Yishan what happened just now.After hearing this, Zuo Yishan understood: "Don't worry. This is planned by Master An and Phils. As for Bai Qia, he wants to know what Master An and Phils want to do."

From Shi Chuan's words, Zuo Yishan knew that Bai Qia was staring at them when Fels became Master An's assistant and borrowed the ball.That's why he dodged in when Noah's door opened.This has to be one step slower, Bai Qia may not be able to enter, and Shi Chuan, who knows nothing, can only be left outside.

"No one else was disturbed to enter Noah. It seems that they won't come out for a while, so you send those plantation workers over first. If Bai Qia comes out, he will take the initiative to contact us." Zuo Yishan said.

Bai Qia is a cautious person, Noah is an unknown field, Firth is a strong man, and Bai Qia's skills may not be worse than him.Even Master An would not let them fight.

"Okay." Shi Chuan replied.The task of building Chinatown is very important, Shi Chuan really can't leave for too long.

After Shi Chuan left the monitoring room, he turned back to Noah's door and looked at it for a while before leaving to the Central Government Management Office.He wanted to escort these people to the Chinatown base, and the person in charge of the escort team was Zero.Shi Chuan greeted Zero and joined the work.

Seeds of food crops are very precious. The researchers of the Academy of Sciences responsible for planting and breeding will also go to Chinatown with these planting workers this time. Agriculture is managed by the central government, and the Academy of Sciences only provides technology.

After moving the seeds and agricultural tools from the central area to the military truck at the entrance and exit of the hive, the people who are the weakest in the hive are escorted to the Chinatown base.

This time, the number of planting workers is very small, and the proportion of sick and weak people is relatively large.Many old people have died after the end of the world, and now these time wearers don't know how they survived, because during the past few years in the hive, he rarely saw the existence of the old people.

It is really unimaginable how they survived to this day in such a cruel environment.

Shi Chuan joined the escort team, the moment they took these people out of the hive.The old people with cloudy eyes were moved to tears.

"Live, we must live." Looking at the towering ruins of the city not far away, an old man said with trembling lips.

Now that human beings have the hope of living, old people like them who are half buried in the soil are not very useful to human beings. In order not to become a burden, they came to the central area hoping to do something for human beings .

Escorting this group of elderly people was much slower than the first time escorting the workers, but no one complained even though everyone's footsteps were slow.

"It's all useless." Someone said when passing through the city center of S.

The once bustling commercial avenue, if it is in ruins, weeds burst out from the ground.

Shi Chuan silently escorted the people.Once, they were the masters of the city; now, they are the passers-by of the city.

During most of the day's trip, the escort team killed the aliens who wanted to approach the team, and all of them arrived at the Chinatown base safely.After entering the security line of defense in China City, he looked back at the alien species lingering outside the line of defense.

It seems that the military's task of mopping up these alien species is coming soon.

In Zhonghua City, Zuo Yishan was relieved when he saw Shi Chuan came back safely.
