Chapter 8 The Pain of Breathing (8)

Yu Di stopped asking Cheng Die about her past and concentrated on cultivating buds with her according to Cheng Die's plan. After setting up all the experimental groups, Cheng Die asked Lanlong to drive them to the place where they met Yu Di.

They dug out the whole plant tuber. About twenty-three days had passed since they met. The tuber was actually twice as big as when Yu Di dug it out last time, and it was extremely heavy. They spent a lot of time and effort.

With the strength of a tiger, he moved it into the carriage.

The blue dragons have already explored this area, and everything they can collect has been moved back home. Now there are only some deserted buildings and the occasional "scavengers" passing by.

In fact, the scavengers on the surface are essentially "abandoned people" in the underground city. They are rejected by the underground city because they suffer from various diseases that affect their work, or have some unpardoned criminal records.

Yu Di didn't have too much judgment on this. She had stayed in the underground city for the time being. The environment there was really not suitable for raising "idlers", and it was absolutely impossible to allow "inhumane" and "naturally rebellious" saboteurs to mix in.

.

Strong people can naturally occupy buildings where the living environment is not so harsh, with basements or internal air circulation systems that have not stopped. And those living outside are almost all people suffering from diseases. The blue dragon looked at them

Although I really felt bad about it, I wasn't stupid enough to offer help. I just watched them silently until they left.

The place where the fortress is located is backed by a ten-story building. There are two identical buildings separated by an intersection to the north. To the east is a fenced abandoned construction site. Blue Dragon has set up monitoring and control systems in the direction surrounded by the building.

Explosives were used to tear open the fence of the construction site, drive the excavator to the public toilet, and tie several corpses to the boom of the excavator.

That was the man Blue Dragon encountered who tried to rob him when he was searching the building.

More than ten days have passed, and on the ground around the corpse, some cats, dogs and birds have died in twos and threes. At this temperature, if it were normal, the stench would probably reach the sky.

Cheng Die and Yu Di didn't notice the "mark" of the demonstration because they took another route when they went out, but they saw it when they came back. Cheng Die was not surprised and even touched Lan Long's arm tenderly.

Judging from the shape of her mouth, she should be saying "Thank you for your hard work." Yu Di shivered and hugged Mibao's "hood" and stroked it.

Yes, the air conditions near the surface have now deteriorated to the point where no mucous membranes can be exposed.

But Mibao didn't like to stay at home, so Lanlong made a new "hood" for Mibao that could cover his entire head.

In addition to digging plants this time, they also have another thing to do. They are going to search nearby abandoned factories to see if there are any usable parts, finished products or biogenerators. Although Cheng Die prepared them in advance

They have installed bio-batteries and small generators, but because the air pollution has increased so quickly this time, they cannot guarantee whether the environment inside the fortress can last until the planting experiment is successful. Don’t look back before the plants are planted, and they will be poisoned first.

So after listening to Lan Long's suggestion, Cheng Die decided to find some more materials and build an air filtration system for the fortress.

This is a big project, and Cheng Die doesn’t know if she can do it. Although she has some theoretical knowledge and previous experience in participating in maintenance, it is still very difficult for her to complete the circuit design and line laying independently. Unfortunately, the technology

All the people in the underground city were "specially approved" and qualified to enter the city. It was impossible for anyone to stay on the ground. She couldn't find anyone to help her.

Yu Di didn't know Cheng Die's dilemma. In her eyes, many things were done just like snapping her fingers. For example, Cheng Die's extremely precise mastery of the soil cultivation formula. She didn't actually understand the process.

After thousands of failures, what is the joy of success once?

The factory and the underground city were in different directions and not close together. They temporarily stored the dug tubers on the first floor, got some water and batteries, put on protective clothing, and temporarily sealed the fortress from the outside. Blue Dragon

I'm not worried about anyone discovering this place. After all, when Cheng Die originally selected the location, it was actually under the public toilet. As long as they closed the door with the iris lock, the public toilet could even be used normally. In this regard, Lanlong could only say,

Fortunately, masks have now become a must-wear tool for humans.

Yu Di can't drive such a big car.

In fact, she had never passed the driver's license test at all, neither during her lifetime nor after her death. In the virtual world of the tutorial, she had driven a bumper car. In short, Lan Long and Cheng Die changed their lives twice before they came to a river.

The factory next to it. The large gilded characters on the stone sign at the door are peeling off, and the word "machine parts" can be vaguely seen.

The factory gate is a folding automatic door, the kind often used by many schools or units during Yu Di's lifetime. Lanlong installed an anti-collision bar on his car and directly stepped on the accelerator and crashed through it. The automatic door was too long

It had not been used, and was knocked off the track and stuck in the sky. Lanlong found a building that looked like a distribution point, parked the car in front, and gave Cheng Die and Yu Di a gun.

"I have never been to this area, so I don't know if there is anyone inside. No matter where I enter, I go first."

Cheng Die nodded: "I have an impression of this factory. Because it had no air filtration, it was abandoned a long time ago. I guess there won't be many people here."

"It's better to be cautious." Lan Long closed the car door, took out a vise, and cut off the lock hanging on the door. The door shaft had not been used for a long time and was very rusty. Lan Long pulled hard and it creaked.

It seemed like he was about to fall, and the harsh sound of scraping against the ground made people feel goosebumps and made them feel uncomfortable all over, even though it was blocked by the protective clothing and mask.

Opening a gap about one meter wide, Lan Long lowered his body and walked in with a gun. Due to the power outage, the light inside was quite dim, but looking at the scattered goods and the shape of the forklift, he could still roughly confirm his guess.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, Lanlong turned on his bright flashlight and scanned around to make sure there were no threats within sight before letting Cheng Die and Yu Di in.

Before the factory closed down, most of the goods had been shipped away. However, because the warehouse was very large, there was still a lot of scattered goods for the three of them. They climbed up and down and rummaged for more than two hours before they could find anything.

After the search, Cheng Die and Yu Di leaned against the pillar to catch their breath due to the suffocation of the protective suits. Lan Long also sweated a lot. The harvest was good. They found all the parts of a large biogenerator.

I also picked up a whole box of wireless headphones and small bio-batteries, and removed all the copper wires and electrical components that were still usable, ready to take them back with me.

There is room for stuffing in the back of the car. After finally getting out, they wanted to get some more stuff back.

So Lanlong suggested in a good mood: "Go to the office building and have a look. Maybe you can find some decorations. The house is really ugly." They had been active in the factory for so long, and there was no sign of anyone at all.

It should be safe.

Cheng Die estimated that these things were more than enough to make a four-layer filtration system, and agreed with a smile. Lanlong parked the car in front of the office building, took a big bag, and prepared to "sweep".

Yu Di and Cheng Die also took one each. But when they walked to the ajar door of the office building, Yu Di pointed to the bottom of the door eaves and stopped.

"What's wrong?" Blue Dragon asked.

Cheng Die looked where Yu Di was pointing, and his pupils shrank instantly.

"Monitoring, there is no power outage."
