Natural Disaster Apocalypse - Chapter 191

The seven-day observation period is quite easy for someone like Mu Nan who lives at home and can’t go out for a month, especially since he can play videos with Qin Huai every day, use his own tablet to watch TV dramas, play games, etc. Playing a stand-alone game, and then chatting with Qin Huai, the day is over, but Mu Nan is still a little worried about the dungeon that Qin Huai mentioned before.

If it is underground, the living place must be very small, even if the lights are bright, if the house is like this kind of isolated room without a window, it can only accommodate a bed and a table, and live in this closed environment for a long time , I feel that people will become more and more depressed.

Although Qin Huai comforted him, if it is really an underground city, it must be suitable for human habitation. Even if the environment is really difficult, it is better than facing the wind and rain outside. Even though he said so, Mu Nan’s anxiety about the living environment has not diminished in the slightest.

After the seven-day observation period passed, they were brought out of the isolation room. Song Jia stretched her waist as soon as she came out. She was just about to go to Mu Nan to complain about the suffering of being locked up for the past few days. Mu Nan rushed towards Qin Huai and hugged him, Qin Huai returned a kiss on Mu Nan’s forehead.

Turning around again, Jian Chu and Yu Zibai were also chatting tirelessly, probably because they were worried about each other’s altitude sickness. Although they knew that there would be medical staff to deal with any situation in the isolation room at any time, it would always be wrong not to ask in person. worried.

The greasy four people immediately left Song Jia speechless, and Xu Ming, who came by, patted him on the shoulder lightly: “You and your brother, I am the only one. Thinking about it this way, don’t you?” Feel more comfortable?”

Song Jia looked back at Wu Zheng who was observing the surrounding environment without paying any attention to him, and suddenly felt not very comfortable.

Yesterday, the staff had notified the time to come out and gather. When the time came, almost everyone came out of the house. These days, the official tablet in the room also has the living rules and regulations here. Everyone has read it countless times. Now we have to take them to the residential area to choose a house and settle down.

Because they knew that the city of refuge was built underground, they didn’t have much expectation for the underground environment. They imagined it should be dark and messy, closed and narrow, but in fact, after taking a huge freight elevator down, what they saw It’s a bright sky, although obviously it’s supposed to be just a projection screen or something.

The road is also very spacious. Except that the ‘sky’ is a little closer to the ground, the feeling of being underground is not very strong, and even both sides of the road are full of green plants.

For many years, people who have never seen green things except their own vegetable pots, some couldn’t help but want to see if these plants are real or fake. It’s not like they haven’t lived in a civilized world, but this one Coming down is still like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, what surprises you see.

Although they don’t know how big this dungeon is, it must be much bigger than they thought, because apart from the floor they are on now, Mu Nan actually saw the entrance of the subway station, which means that there is another underground city below them. The first floor should be public transportation.

On the top, he saw a lot of people riding bicycles. Although the road below should be able to accommodate cars, it is an underground closed environment, and the air quality must be paid attention to. It is estimated that bicycles will be the means of transportation here in the future. A little farther, just continue to take the subway down.

Mu Nan whispered to Qin Huai: “Are you saying we’re still on Earth? I’m exaggerating too much.”

If it wasn’t for the ‘sky’ above his head being too close, he wouldn’t even feel that he was underground, and he still had the feeling of returning to the end of the world.

Qin Huai was also a little surprised that the development of the dungeon was far better than he thought, so he could only sigh: “There is a reason why human beings become the overlord of this earth, as long as there is no catastrophe of instant extinction, as long as If there is a chance, people will survive.”

Song Jiajian and the others were also very excited. Although the houses here are very short, the roads are very clean. The roads are probably only used for walking bicycles, so the construction is not very spacious. It is only about the width of the previous two lanes, but the surrounding area is full of greenery. Trees, flowers and plants, looking at these plants, it really makes people’s eyes red. Compared with the barrenness brought about by the harsh climate above, the feeling below is civilization and temperature.

Before coming out, the resistance to living underground in the future dissipated instantly, and people couldn’t help admiring that their country is so awesome.

The staff took them down from a subway station and told them that they could swipe their wristbands on the bus, but the bracelets were temporary. After they applied for a residence permit, everything would be the same as before, and they would spend their own money to buy a travel card. .

The subway below surrounds the entire underground city. There are currently twelve subway lines. The routes are very complicated and intertwined. Although there are signs, it is still dizzy to see, but this is only because they are newcomers. Now, you should be able to figure out which line to take and where to transfer.

“The subway is still expanding now. Lines 13 to 21 are currently under construction. At that time, a manual will be sent to you. Where do you go to work and how to get there from where you live? You have to figure it out yourself. , there are not many people transferred now, so the subway is not considered congested, but as more and more people are transferred, I am afraid that it will become more and more congested by then, so I suggest that you wait until you choose your residence and try to choose a distance from your work It’s close enough that you can get there by bike.”

Someone asked the staff curiously: “How many people will this place accommodate in the future?”

There is nothing that cannot be said. I am afraid of causing turmoil outside, so I can’t tell much about the city of refuge, but those who have already come don’t need to cover up, so the staff said directly: “I can only say that we should move as much as possible. But a dungeon can at least accommodate hundreds of millions of people.”

I have lived in a residential area with a population of only one million for many years. When I suddenly heard the unit of measurement of 100 million, I felt inexplicably unreal, especially to accommodate hundreds of millions of people in a dungeon. I couldn’t imagine how big the dungeon was. They didn’t even have a province or city with a population of over 100 million before, and now they have to accommodate so many underground.

The man continued: “It is still expanding now. There are enough manpower, but the construction materials are insufficient. The only consolation is that the energy hoarded at present is sufficient. Even if we build a few more dungeons of this scale, The energy hoarded by our country can also be consumed for nearly a hundred years, but the amount of this hoard is still growing. Now there are not many countries that still have military defenses outside. Whether it survives or develops depends on you.”

A group of people got on the subway, and there were other people waiting for the subway below. They should have arrived a few batches earlier than them, so it is not surprising to see that they obviously came from outside, maybe they will come every once in a while A group of people, they have long been used to it.

The staff took them to the largest housing management bureau here. Here, there is a complete system for housing in the entire underground city, and the system will be selected according to your needs, such as work location, house size, surrounding environmental facilities, etc. Find a suitable area, and then point out the vacancies in this area for people to choose.

Qin Huai’s job has already been fixed, Xu Ming is still hesitating whether to take the exam for a doctor’s qualification certificate or apply for a farm veterinary doctor. Anyway, he has a lot of savings when he is a newcomer, and he can spend a while comfortably. They chose a house next to Qinhuai in the area they chose.

Yu Zibai and Jian Chu’s majors are actually the best to be able to be assessed for a job in a bank. They don’t have any other personal financial management right now. It’s best to eat from the country. Now that the dungeon is so complete, there must be banks, so they also plan to start Settle down and take a look for a while, the big deal is to choose a job at that time, if the transportation is inconvenient, then change the place of residence.

Song Jia still wants to try freelancing. He is now doing online video editing on a small scale when he was in Kang Yun. He has saved all the video materials. He decided to check the network situation here later. Although Wu Zheng I haven’t found out where the job he is good at is, but when I come to a strange place, I still choose to be with people I know to feel safer.

After discussing with several people, they decided on an area that is relatively close to Qinhuai’s work place, and it happens to be the hub of several subway lines in terms of transportation. It may be because it is relatively well-connected, so the location is very sought-after, and there are not many houses to choose from.

The floors of the houses here are not high. After all, the height of the entire underground city may only be tens of meters. The average condition is a small apartment on the fourth floor. At first glance, the Zhong apartment area is full of neat apartment buildings. Although the floors are not high, there are greenery surrounding each building. The condition looks good, but the area is too small.

The higher price is a small single-family courtyard with a small garden. The house has two floors above and below, covering an area of ​​about 150 to 200 yuan. Big, the houses are all simplified, not reinforced concrete, it seems to be some new type of board, anyway, this is underground, the wind does not blow or rain, and even the steel structure is not used.

The living environment is good and the price is naturally expensive. The monthly rent is nearly 100, which is much more expensive than in Kangyun before. But one thing is, if the house is registered in the name of someone who has a job, the type of job is different, and the subsidies that can be obtained are also different. In other words, if you don’t have a job, the rent is very expensive. If you have a job, the rent will be apportioned by the state, and the part you pay yourself will be cheaper.

Qin Huai definitely chose a small detached house. The building below is not too soundproof due to the construction materials. If you live in an apartment building, it will be too inconvenient. You can talk or eat, and you basically have no privacy.

Xu Ming thought about his family background, and he was not worried that he would not have a job in the future, so he simply chose the one next to Qin Huai and the others. The room was bigger, which could relieve some of the anxiety of being closed underground, and not be too depressing. .

Jian Chu, Song Jia and the others discussed with each other for a while, and then asked Qin Huai whether the things accumulated in the past few years could be obtained smoothly. The first house was chosen, just like what Xu Ming said, the basement is already very stuffy, if I live in a small house, it will be really uncomfortable, if I can afford it, I will definitely choose a bigger house.

Moreover, the detached building has two small floors, surrounded by green plants, and it is so comfortable to open the window to see the greenery.

After choosing a house, the rent is one deposit and three rents. After binding the identity information, it is paid directly to the account every month. The utility bills and housing management fees can also be paid directly online every month, which is quite convenient.

Seeing that the people who came here are still struggling to choose a house, Qin Huai asked the staff who brought them here, they can leave immediately after choosing a house, they are all adults, they have a mouth and a phone, if there is something to ask, just ask someone There is no need to adapt to the environment step by step.

Today’s wristband can also scan the subway. After carefully looking at the map and the route, they found the way back to the community. They took two transfers in the middle to get there. It took almost an hour to go back and forth.

The house has a card. After swiping the card, you can change the door password. Because it is a simple decoration, there is nothing in the house. The floor is also a wooden floor that Mu Nan doesn’t like very much. Wooden floors are prone to leaving marks, but if you step on the ground with only socks on, wooden floors are more comfortable than marble tiles.

This kind of single-family house should be for people with a large family population. The first floor is the living room, kitchen and bathroom, and there is a guest bedroom. The second floor is the master bedroom and study room plus two guest bedrooms. The area is not large, and there are quite a lot of rooms .

Mu Nan looked around and said, “Can we change the structure of the house? There are too many rooms, and the hygiene is not easy to take care of.”

Qin Huai: “How do you want to change?”

Mu Nan thought for a while: “I want to open up the guest bedroom on the first floor. I looked at it, and it’s a board wall. I want to connect the guest bedroom with the living room, and put a hanging chair next to the floor-to-ceiling windows. There should be no dust below. I think the ventilation system is quite good. Putting a carpet should not get dirty so quickly. There are two guest bedrooms on the second floor, one is connected to the master bedroom, and the other is connected to the study , so the living area will be larger, anyway, our family probably won’t entertain friends overnight, even if entertaining, it’s fine to spread a sleeping mat in the study as a temporary guest room.”

Of course Qin Huai followed him on such a small matter: “Then change it like this.”

On the contrary, Mu Nan was a little uncertain: “Can it be changed? This is a rented house. Although Kang Yun also rented a house, I always feel that the management here is stricter.”

Qin Huai: “It can be changed. It can be changed by paying a whole year’s rent in advance, and if I have worked for ten years, the house recorded in my name will belong to my private property, so there is nothing wrong with changing it in advance. Question, I looked at the forums here, and there are companies that specialize in house decoration, and the construction here is very sound, except that it is built underground, the overall environment here has been restored to almost the same as before the end of the world.”

Changing the layout of the house is not too important. Thinking of Jianchu and the others asking about the supplies just now, Mu Nan was a little worried and said: “How do we get those things out? It feels like everything here is under surveillance, and the security level society Order has been guaranteed, but there are also more restrictions.”

Qin Huai smiled: “There are gray areas everywhere. Where there is light, there must be darkness. Moreover, the entire underground city can accommodate hundreds of millions of people. How big is this place? It is impossible to supervise all corners of such a big place. Don’t It’s terrible to think about this place. At most, it’s roughly the same as the environment before the end of the world, except that some places are more high-tech, such as circulating air supply system, constant temperature system, air purification system, etc. Surrounded by technology does not mean time Being monitored, after I get familiar with the environment first, I will give things to them when I find an opportunity.”

Hearing what Qin Huai said, Mu Nan felt relieved, anyway, with his brother around, he would be fine.

In the afternoon, Qin Huai went to the place where he would work in the future to hand in the materials. Mu Nan lay down on the floor and fell asleep without doing any cleaning. Anyway, if the layout of the house is to be changed, it will definitely make the house dirty, so don’t worry too much. Tossed.

The temperature setting here is very comfortable, twenty-five to six degrees, neither cold nor hot, those who are afraid of the cold can wear a long-sleeved single shirt, and those who are afraid of the heat can wear short-sleeved clothes directly, Mu Nan thinks that if people live in this place for a long time, it is suitable In such an environment, I will definitely be less and less able to adapt to the difficulties outside in the future, but thinking about it this way, who wants to suffer when they can be comfortable.

Knowing that they had just arrived, the higher-ups gave Qin Huai a week to adapt to the new environment here. On the second day, Qin Huai found a decoration company and told them about the change requirements. A house with this kind of plank structure is easy to modify, and there won’t be too much dust if it penetrates through the wall. The house was quickly remodeled according to Mu Nan’s requirements.

Jian Chu and Song Jia also took a look and asked about the price of the renovation. It was not expensive, so Jian Chu and Xu Ming asked people to change it like Mu Nan’s family did.

Song Jia’s family didn’t change the structure of the house. Now they are just two brothers, they can live wherever they want. What if they get married in the future, so the reconstruction matter, after they fall in love and find a partner, they always have to consider the needs of the other half in the future .

Afraid that they would worry about it, Qin Huai specifically mentioned to them: “We have just arrived, and we haven’t figured out many things yet. I have already contacted people, and everything is almost ready. After a month or two, we will I can take it.”

Seeing that Qin Huai had made all the arrangements, of course they didn’t worry about it anymore. Anyway, they still had the property they had sold in Kang Yun before. For those prepared, there is no need to worry about food and clothing for two or three years.

After they settled down here, they couldn’t help worrying about those friends in Kangyun: “I don’t know when they will come over, but unfortunately the network cannot communicate with each other. After they come, they may not be able to contact them immediately. Hey, what if It’s good that everyone is together.”

Listening to Song Jia’s broken thoughts, Mu Nan also felt the same. It would be great if we could all be together. Besides Daniel and the others, there is also Qin Bing. If they can see each other again in their lifetime, it is really worth having a good meal thing.

While everyone else is adapting to the new environment, Qin Huai has already started to work. His place of work is not far from home, 15 minutes away by bicycle. The main direction of his work is technological defense, and he is working on the defense system of the entire dungeon. .

Of course, he is too young, and he is not qualified to be the main force of research, but his calm personality, outstanding ability, and smooth personality, which is different from most scientific researchers, made him favored by a very powerful professor. Picking him as an assistant, the whole welfare package has been greatly improved, but he is busier than before.

But no matter how busy you are, there is a time for rest. When you are not working overtime, after dinner, Qin Huai and Mu Nan will ride around on the bike together. The program set by the system here has a clear day and night, and there are not many shops outside. They are also opening one after another, and Jian Chu is eager to continue opening the store. After all, he is considered a veteran after doing business for several years.

However, some supply channels have not been figured out, so we can only hold back and observe for the time being.

After coming to the dungeon for more than a month, Qin Huai found an opportunity to distribute some of the things to them, but not all of them. One is that the amount is too large to attract attention, and the other is that most of it is food, which is not very durable. Anyway, it’s enough for them to eat for a while, and I will give it to them again after a while.

I have carefully calculated how much Qin Huai took out from the space. Just the things that Xu Ming and the others hoarded with the money they gave every month had to be taken out in at least three times, plus some things they had mixed in before the end of the world. Things, Qin Huai planned to give them four times in two years.

The two years are neither long nor short, and they can take root in this new environment no matter what, so the materials given in the past two years can be regarded as helping them survive in the early stage, and what will their lives be like in the future? , Then it depends on themselves, they have given help to the best of their ability, but they cannot help others for a lifetime.

What they didn’t expect was that in the third month of living in the dungeon, in order to celebrate Wu Zheng’s success in finding a job in the machinery factory, everyone decided to go out to a restaurant to celebrate. When they came back after eating and drinking, they saw Xu Ming and the others At the door of the house, a man sat cross-legged on the side of the road without any image, with a piece of grass that he picked up from the flower bed in his mouth, and when he saw them, he showed his white teeth.

“Hi, everyone, long time no see.”

Jian Chu was startled: “Brother Yu, are you here too?”

Yu Feng stood up and patted the ashes on his body: “Yes, this journey is really tossing.”

Yu Feng said and looked at Xu Ming: “I spent all my savings all the way here, and I can’t even rent a house. Seeing as we have been colleagues for many years, take pity on me, please take me in.”

Xu Ming didn’t know what it was like at that moment, bulging, swollen, a little surprised, but not surprised, but I have to say, I haven’t seen him for almost four months, and I will see that foolish man again. The angry smile suddenly became pleasing to the eye.
