Doomsday Sacrifice

Chapter 224
The underground base woke up at ten past six the next morning.

Hibernating all night, it may be a bit boring, or maybe everyone has nothing to do in the closed underground, so they can only gather together. In short, the base is lively in less than 10 minutes.

When Lao Fan stepped out of the tent and saw the scene in front of him, he was slightly taken aback.

I saw that the platform about 200 meters long and more than 20 meters wide was almost full of people, shoulder to shoulder, probably more than the number of people driving during the rush hour before the end of the world.

Although there were many people, the noisy voice was not very loud. Everyone seemed to deliberately lower their voices, as if they were afraid of disturbing someone.

Most of the whiteboards in the middle of the platform were filled with words, and the people around them surrounded the inner three floors and the outer three floors, pointing at the whiteboards and whispering to each other.

"Hey, how long has it been, less than 10 minutes? Why are there so many people here all of a sudden?" Cheng Xi yawned and woke up from his confusion in an instant, "These people came from other stations? "

Lao Fan glanced at the shared bicycles extending to both sides under the platform, and the continuous stream of people coming from the tunnels on both sides, and nodded: "Well, they should all come from the outer stations."

"What are they here for?"

"Looking for opportunities, exchanging items, posting requirements, and maybe forming a team, there are so many things to do." Lao Fan saw someone writing something on a whiteboard, and the man with a backpack walked up the stairs to the upper floor. There are also those who are guarding the stairs with various weapons such as big knives and long sticks, said casually.

"Well, when you put it this way, it seems that there are quite a lot of things that can be done. At least so many people have to eat." Cheng Xi suddenly said.

"That's right, our base has a small number of people now, so we can act together to find supplies, just eat a big pot of rice. There are so many people here, we can't do this, we can only solve it individually. When we have more people in the future, we have to think of other ways. The situation here It’s good to learn from it.”

"Is there any reference? It's so primitive." Cheng Xi disagreed.

"At least you can observe what's wrong."

"That's right, go to the whiteboard and have a look?" Cheng Xi nodded in agreement and suggested.

"You go, I'll wait."

"Why don't you go?"

"My physical fitness is poor, and I can't squeeze in so many people. You must be fine. Give full play to your talent and come back with more information." Lao Fan said with a smile.

"That's a good reason." Cheng Xi muttered as he walked towards the middle of the platform.

Many people on the platform noticed Lao Fan and Cheng Xi. Seeing them living in the tent here, most of them looked curious and envious. But in the end no one came to bother.

Cheng Xi forced his way through the crowd, came to several whiteboards, and glanced at the contents written on them one by one.

Li Xun, Shen Yiqing and Yu Qingming packed their things and walked out of the tent.

Although Daju didn't sleep all night, he was full of energy. He came out wagging his tail, jumped onto the backpack that Yu Qingming was carrying, and posed in a comfortable position. Recently, he fell in love with this place.

Li Xun glanced at the lively scene on the platform, and silently observed the surrounding situation.

"Boss, Cheng Xi went to the whiteboard to inquire about the news." Lao Fan took his backpack from Yu Qingming and put it on his back, took out a ham sausage with the thickness of a wrist from the bag Shen Yiqing was carrying, and tore open the package eat up.

"Okay, wait until he comes back to see the situation."

A few people turned around and entered the tent to hurry up and eat. They didn't prepare much food last night, it was only enough for this meal. The huge capital city still doesn't lack food.

Ten minutes later, Cheng Xi finally came back.

After entering the tent, he drank a bottle of water first, and then said: "The whiteboard is full of demand information. Most of them are seeking medicine and looking for doctors, and some are looking for people, but most of them have no results."

"Normal, it should be that the reward is not that attractive?" Lao Fan said.

"Yes, everyone's need for food and water is not so urgent at present. I heard that food was used as payment at the beginning, but later it was basically replaced by weapons, especially guns and bullets. If the payment is these two, there are many People are willing to do it."

"There shouldn't be many guns and bullets, right?"

"Not many." Cheng Xi nodded.

"What else did you find out?"

"This platform is for posting requirements and tasks, and team formation is also here. The other two platforms are trading areas, where barter is used."

"Also, there are 76 evolutionists in the Future Alliance, 79 in the Brotherhood, and 58 in the Free State. The reputation of the Future Alliance in the three organizations seems to be pretty good."

"Eh? That's right, I've even found out about this." Lao Fan didn't expect Cheng Xi to gain a lot in such a short period of time.

"That is, there is another news. I heard that the highest rank in the base is Ming Rong, the boss of the free country, but I don't know how many ranks, and the three organizations are not very confrontational, and they are all vying for evolution. "

"Who did you inquire about? Is the news reliable?" Li Xun asked.

"It's more reliable. I met a young man named Hu Wei. He knows more about this place and is very well-informed."

"Have you asked him if he knows anything about the situation at the Polytechnic University?" Li Xun asked.

"I've asked. He said that the Science and Technology University is full of extreme beast lairs. No one dares to go there now, so the specific situation is not clear, but he said that he can help find out if there are any survivors coming from there."

"What does he want in return?"

"This kid is a thief, let us talk about the reward."

Li Xun pondered for a while and said, "Tell him that if he can figure out the situation in the Polytechnic University, you can give him a round shield or a spear."

"okay."

Cheng Xi agreed, and left the tent with a compressed biscuit and a bottle of water.

"Let's go, let's go to the University of Science and Technology first after Cheng Xi has settled the deal."

Li Xun and the others got out of the tent, but they saw a few people coming down the stairs leading to the upper floor. They turned around and walked towards them. It was He Jianping and Lu Ping from last night.

"Are you all sleeping well?" He Jianping came to Li Xun and asked with a smile.

"The tent is very good, I can sleep till dawn."

"That's good. Are you going to the Polytechnic University?"

"Yes, go and see the situation early."

"Well, you can get there by walking along Line [-], but the zombies in the subway stations outside the base area have not been cleaned up. It may take a bit of work, but it's definitely not a problem for you."

"It's not a big problem."

"Well, we also have action today, let's go first, if you need any help, don't hesitate."

"Thank you!"

He Jianping took the people off the platform, got on the car and went south along the tunnel. Before leaving, Lu Ping greeted several people with a smile.

Soon, Cheng Xi came back.

"Boss, we have settled with Hu Wei. He has arranged for someone to inquire about the news. He heard that we are going to the University of Science and Technology. He wants to follow along."

Li Xundao: "Okay, call him, we'll leave now."
