Doomsday disaster: Start by building a shelter

Half a second later.

On the console's large screen, lines of characters and a clear picture popped up.

That was the real-time status of the medium-sized truck, as well as the video captured by the camera at the front of the truck.

"The temperature in the cab is 62 degrees, and the temperature outside is 55 degrees."

Glancing at the data on the screen, Su Wu couldn't help but feel a little relieved and scared.

In this high temperature, if he had to go there by himself, he might have suffered from heatstroke on the spot. It is wiser to operate remotely.

Wake up the driving system and start the engine.

The medium-sized truck drove out of the farmyard silently and stepped onto the road. Accompanying it were three drone reconnaissance formations in the sky. The field of vision provided by the medium-sized truck alone is quite limited. If the high-altitude field of vision of the drone is added, the route can be better planned and danger can be avoided in advance.

This time, although Su Wu did not go out in person, the medium-sized truck and the construction robot itself are also a huge asset that cannot be ignored. It is better to be careful if you can.

Along the way, there were no accidents.

It was as quiet as driving on the wasteland of doomsday.

All I could see were withered vegetation and gravel beaches reflecting the scorching sun. Only after entering the city did I occasionally encounter some transport vehicles. But the number was not large.

By now, the official evacuation operation had come to an end. Most people in the city had moved into the shelter.

"Doomsday."

Su Wu silently observed the desolate streets on the screen.

From the unobstructed desolation, he intuitively felt the influence of the doomsday for the first time.

He couldn't help but start to think, compared with the official shelter facilities, can his own shelter, which was only built ten meters underground, really withstand the natural disasters brought by extreme high temperatures in the future?

"The outer layer of the shelter is one meter thick concrete, and there is a two-millimeter thick iron plate in the middle of the concrete."

"The insulation effect should be higher than that of ordinary basements and underground parking lots."

"In addition, the ventilation system and central air conditioning have been strengthened by the survival point. The quality should be better than most official shelters."

"Plus if the sealing is good enough."

"It may not be a big problem to temporarily resist the surface temperature of 200 to 500 degrees."

The conclusion comforted Su Wu a little.

No matter what, at least his safety is basically no problem. And considering that the shelter is still digging down, the scale and depth are constantly expanding. Even if an accident really happens at that time, it will be a big deal to continue to evacuate to the depth.

In terms of growth and room for error, his shelter is not worse than the top few official shelters.

More than 20 minutes later.

The medium-sized truck passed through the city and entered a small road near a village in the suburbs. Finally, it stopped in front of a two-story house.

The construction robot sitting in the driver's seat opened the door, holding a crossbow with crossbow arrows installed in one hand, and walked down.

"No signs of life were found."

Switch to the perspective of the construction robot.

Su Wu directed it to circle around the residential house, and after confirming that there was no danger, he walked towards the main door.

Unlike the ordinary appearance of the residential house, the lock on the main door uses an uncommon electronic password lock.

But perhaps due to the abnormally high temperature, the password lock is a little slow to respond. Su Wu manipulated the construction robot to try several times, but failed to unlock it successfully.

"What a broken thing."

Su Wu, who was a little irritated, was about to go back to the car to get a hammer and force it open.

With a click, the electronic password lock finally responded slowly several seconds after Su Wu entered the password for the last time.

Push the door in.

The room was empty, with only a pile of messy hardware tools piled along the corner.

"Not here, go upstairs and take a look."

Su Wu muttered, calmed down, and patiently directed the construction robot to go up to the second floor along the indoor stairs without guardrails.

Finally, in a bedroom, he found a whole box of neatly stacked chips wrapped in plastic film.

"It should be this one. It looks well preserved."

Su Wu's mood became a little better after finding the target successfully.

He looked around and was about to let the construction robot carry the chip down.

Suddenly, he noticed a photo frame placed on the bedside.

In the photo frame, a very beautiful little girl, leaning against a middle-aged man, looked at the camera with a shy smile. Her pure eyes were full of happiness and expectations for the future.

"This-"

Perhaps the little girl's smile was too amazing. Su Wu hesitated for a moment and asked the robot to take the photo frame away. His intuition told him that this photo might be very important to someone.

He got the chip.

Before leaving, Su Wu did not forget to move all the hardware tools and materials on the first floor into the car. These things were his errand fee for delivering goods to the door, and they could not be missed.

Half an hour later, the medium-sized truck returned to the farmyard.

After receiving the goods, Su Wu put the agreed ten kilograms of lettuce and other miscellaneous items on the car.

Lettuce spoils quickly under high temperatures.

In order to ensure a certain degree of freshness, Su Wu chose this more troublesome special delivery method, rather than putting it on the car early and then delivering it to the seller when he returned with the chips.

Anyway, for him, this is just a waste of inexhaustible electricity. He is not the one who actually drives the delivery.

There are no other tasks, and the delivery speed is very fast.

Counting from the loading, only fifteen minutes later. The construction robot riding in the medium-sized truck has arrived at the door of the shelter where the seller is.

"Thank you."

"Thank you for your trouble."

The seller who ran out of the shelter door was a thin middle-aged man. He was surprised that he was handed over to a robot. But more, he was happy and grateful for receiving the goods.

Before this, he was not sure whether Su Wu would fulfill the agreement truthfully. He was even prepared to be cheated.

"The money and goods are settled."

Su Wu glanced at him, waved his hand while controlling the robot, and jumped back on the truck. He set off on the way back neatly.

Watching Su Wu's medium-sized truck leave.

The middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his forehead and did not dare to stay outside for long. He ran into the shelter with a bag of lettuce and other small things.

"Someone really delivered something to you."

The official guarding the exit of the shelter looked at the middle-aged man who came back with some surprise, and was amazed.

Going out at this time is not only to brave the severe high temperature. You also have to face the extremely hot storm that may appear at any time. It is a real risk of life.

Most people don't have this kind of courage.

"Lucky, I met a good buyer."

The middle-aged man smiled honestly, without mentioning that it was a robot that delivered the goods to him.

"By the way, this is the agreed labor fee."

"Thank you."

Taking a few lettuces from the bag, the middle-aged man handed them to the other party in a flattering manner.

Although in terms of time, most people have just entered the shelter for a day or two. But the failure of crops on the ground and the impact of ordinary people losing their planting tools have already begun to affect everyone.

In this case, bringing some green fresh vegetables is more or less a luxury.

Even for people working in the government, it is a sincere gift.
