Chapter 43: Leaving temporarily
(ps: For some reason, the three updates on Saturday and Sunday will be Monday and Tuesday, which is May and the 24th. In order to compensate everyone, there will be four updates in the past two days, and Saturday and Sunday will be two updates. Sorry, something is wrong.)
“…can’t sleep?”
The third floor has been thoroughly explored, and the fourth floor has also tentatively moved up. Half a month has passed again, and the swallowed traces can be seen very clearly around the Eleven Blocks. This situation is intensifying. Fortunately, except for the military investigators who discovered this situation, ordinary people are basically still unknown. The regiment commander and political commissar have issued death orders. Even if they die, all insiders are not allowed to reveal any facts about the collapse of Eleven Blocks.
In fact, if there is no fact that eleven blocks are collapsing, the current operation of the shelter is in good condition. All the materials in the eleven blocks have been collected, including warehouses, storage centers, supermarkets, grain markets, even houses, as well as various drugs, parts, materials, etc. Anyway, the space of this base is large enough that as long as it is useful or even useful, you can stuff it into it. Just the materials collected so far and the energy reserves of the base itself have been enough for the base to operate for more than ten years.
What's more, there are food planting rooms and other food supplies inside the base. If eleven blocks were not collapsed, the base itself could at least maintain the survival of all the people here for decades.
Since the exploration of the third floor has been completed, except for the four coffins we have seen, there has never been any other coffins, nor has there been any other way to leave. It is precisely because of this that Hao Qi has made a new decision...
They temporarily left the outer fragment, that is, the five members of the brigade. He, Zhang Heng, Su Shiyan, Lan Ling'er, and Pu Zhi, left the outer fragment first. Because from all the known information at present, the time flow rate of the outer fragment is relatively, that is, once they leave the outer fragment, the time flow rate of the outer fragment may become very slow. Of course, compared with the people in the outer fragment, they still live twenty-four hours a day. But it is likely that this will be a situation that will last for a day and a hundred years outside.
From the bones of ancient humans, we can find that the bones of these ancient humans were very short in the past. According to Lan Ling'er's test, they died no more than half a year. From the message in the contactor, it can be inferred that they may only enter this outer fragment at most ten days in the morning than Hao Qi and others. However, the age of ancient times was at least ten thousand years, or even longer, which can prove the difference in time flow rate in some ways.
"We really can't use that violent creature now. We have tried our best to fight it and defeat it, so we'd better retreat temporarily. Otherwise, the longer the time will drag on, the faster the outer fragment will collapse. Once the castle is destroyed, we will never be able to save people in this world. So the best way is to leave now and find the ancient ruins. Since there are weapons against violent creatures in the comments of these ancient soldiers, it's very likely that there will be such weapons in that ruins, even if there is no such weapon..."
During the negotiations between the brigade, Hao Qi said seriously: "I believe that according to the growth rate of our brigade, we will have the strength to fight against this violent creature soon. When we return, we will have the strength to save them. Instead of delaying time here, we will find a way to find a way, so I think we should leave."
The four people present already knew Hao Qi's character very well. Pu Zhi might not know much, but the other three people knew very well. They knew that Hao Qi said he wanted to leave temporarily, not because he chose to escape for his own safety, but because he really thought so that he would come back to save him after he had accumulated enough strength. So while there was no other way, the others also felt that this guess was the best.
During this discussion, Hao Qi also asked Lan Ling'er if she knew the specific location of this ancient ruin, but was told that she had to leave the outer fragment and use a specific instrument to analyze its location, so she had a helpless decision to leave.
Since we have made a decision, we have to discuss a way to leave. So far, besides defeating the storm creature, there is only the last way to leave, which is to use the coffin to leave. Although it has not been thoroughly verified, Hao Qi roughly guessed that the coffin could only allow one person to leave safely. That is to say, the coffin in the cellar, the first floor, the second floor, and the third floor in the castle, these are the four coffins in the current safe location, which can allow four people to leave. The remaining coffin is on the fourth floor, that is, the floor below the attic. As for whether there is a coffin in the attic, it is another to say, but from the fact that Hao Qi intends to climb to the fourth floor, he feels the danger. It is estimated that once he climbs to the fourth floor, he will be attacked by the violent beast...
There must be a person who can face the violent creature directly, and then escape from the violent creature's hands, and then enter the coffin and return to the real world. This person can only be Hao Qi. Pu Zhi could only count as one, but firstly, he is not good at using his mind, and secondly, he is seriously injured now, so the only candidate is Hao Qi.
Tomorrow is the time to leave the planned action, but Hao Qi did not sleep. Instead, he sat at the door of his room and looked at the crowd in the square. There are now more than 20,000 people in the entire base. The existence of these more than 20,000 people naturally makes housing resources even scarce. Engineers from the people advise the army, hoping to renovate the existing houses, and carry out a certain degree of renovation of the square, and require everyone to have a house, but at least every family can have a small room, and the specific plan is still under discussion. Until now, the square is still crowded, even if it is here.
At one or two in the morning, you can also see a large number of people, either going to public toilets or going to the canteen. By the way, after the emergence of simple private ownership, the people have their own savings. So far, a large number of people have begun to work in the entire base, whether it is planting, patroling, maintaining public order, cooking and other service industries, or repairing facilities in the base, or joining the army. The remuneration is extra food, daily necessities, or renting houses, etc. The entire base is like a microcosm of a small society. Although it is not a prosperous one, it is at least orderly and peaceful.
This is what Hao Qi was looking at, and Zhang Heng came out of the house. He asked and walked to Hao Qi.
Hao Qitou said without replying: "Yes, I can't sleep. I'm watching them. I'm afraid..."
Zhang Heng knew that what Hao Qi was afraid of was definitely not the violent creature he was going to face tomorrow. Hao Qi could not be afraid of these things. He was sure, so he said, "I'm afraid I will never be able to come back to save them?"
Hao Qi nodded with a wry smile and said, "Yes, I'm afraid of this... Just the Blue Ocean, how many dangers of life and death have we encountered? Sutuka ruins, don't you know, the endless forests in the southern Blue Ocean, and the major events that followed, didn't we almost die that time? I'm not afraid of death, but I'm just afraid of death without meaning, and death with regrets... If I can't come back to save them, this is my regret."
Zhang Heng fell silent and said for a long time: "But I can't advise you not to meddle in other people's business, nor can I advise you not to take risks... In short, according to your previous statement, there must be a road before the car arrives at the mountain, right?"
"Haha, you are more open-minded than me." Hao Qi glanced at Zhang Heng, then looked at the crowd in front of him and said, "Indeed, it is not a solution to be so much trouble now. We will definitely come back again. At that time, we will lead them to the new world together!"
Zhang Heng saw Hao Qi return to the room, but he lost his sleepiness, but he didn't plan to look at the crowd here, so he sighed and returned to the room. In fact, it was not just him, he believed that except Hao Qi, even Pu Zhi was worried...
Because of the distribution of four coffins, the last person who left must be Hao Qi. At that time, Hao Qi faced the violent creature alone! He... could really die!
If Hao Qi died, the brigade would die, that way...
Where will they go? (To be continued.)
