Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free
Chapter 769 Promotional Photos
Although the lamb's family is wealthy, they have no plans to live in the underground city for the time being due to work reasons. Also, the lamb's mother is a little bit of a germaphobe, and in her fixed impression, the underground city is "dirty", "airtight", and suffocating.
Although Xiaoyang learned about the situation in the dungeon through forums and people around him, and tried to persuade his mother, he was still unable to change her stereotype of the dungeon.
"How do you feel about going down the dungeon for the first time?" Seeing that the lamb found everything new and new, Liao Yunyun withdrew her gaze from the rearview mirror and couldn't help but smile in her voice.
"Yunyun, now I know why you insist on selling your house and applying to become a citizen of the underground city. This place is simply another utopian world. Wow, if you add some industrial elements, it will be a complete cyber style, which is so cool." Xiaoyang's attention was completely attracted by a building not far away that looked to have more than ten floors. He originally thought that a building with more than ten floors was the tallest building underground. Unexpectedly, after the car drove forward for a while, he could see a tower-like thing from a long distance. That thing was at least twenty stories high, and the top was very sharp, as if it reached the top of the underground floor.
"That's the signal tower, which supports the signal of the entire underground city. The magnetic field nearby is very strong, and it is said that there is a mysterious laboratory in the tower, but it's just hearsay." Liao Yunyun revealed a little bit of what she had read from the forum, and then smiled and said: "But the post was deleted in less than half an hour, and even the poster's account has been cancelled. It's hard not to doubt its authenticity. Unfortunately, there is one of the branches of the guard team nearby, and the area is blocked by a high-voltage net. Even if you want to enter the tower, you have to break through the layers of defense."
"It's really magical. I really want to go in and see for myself. Do you think there are some secret experiments going on in there? Otherwise, why would they deliberately set up a branch of the guard team nearby? It's obvious that they want to deploy the army there to serve as a deterrent." Xiaoyang's occupational disease came back. He picked up the camera, installed his "rifle lens", and started taking pictures of the signal tower several kilometers away.
Because Xiaoyang's home was close to Entrance A, and Entrance A was at least a 40-minute drive from Gu Tongwan's guesthouse, Liao Yunyun talked to Xiaoyang about the underground city along the way. Whenever Xiaoyang saw something new outside the window, he would ask Gu Tongwan to slow down so that he could take a picture or two.
"This place doesn't feel like underground at all. The artificial solar energy makes the whole place as bright as day. The preliminary work must have been huge. No wonder the construction of the underground city took longer and required more manpower and energy than setting up the base in the first place." The lamb couldn't help but sigh.
"Right, when the dungeon was first officially announced to be completed and opened, I also thought it would be very dark down there, but I didn't expect that the artificial sun could be said to be one of the greatest creations of mankind. The simulation of everything from the light source to the sunrise and sunset is so realistic. The artificial sun and artificial moon here all run according to the time above, and can achieve weather synchronization. It is said that artificial rainfall will be added in the later stage, so that the underground city can also experience the feeling of rain." Liao Yunyun's eyes fell on the houses that flashed by, and she felt more and more that this place might really become the last refuge for mankind.
While they were chatting, the car finally arrived at Gu Tongwan's guesthouse. They could still hear the sounds of renovation coming from the guesthouse. However, it was not just her store that was being renovated on the street at this time. There were also many people standing outside other stores. Everyone was busy trying to finish the store renovations before the dungeon opened.
At present, the prototype of a commercial street can be seen on this street. Several stores nearby are clothing stores. There is also a large chain supermarket next to it. The remaining stores are various snack bars and there is even a beauty salon.
The whole street is not long, only about two hundred meters, but along the street you can see the only guesthouse belonging to Gu Tongwan. This is probably because it takes a huge amount of money to buy an entire building like she did.
In the meantime, many people came to inquire about the situation of the guesthouse, but the decoration team only briefly talked about the progress of the decoration and kept silent about the personal situation of the guesthouse owner.
Gu Tongwan and her friends arrived at around 10:30 in the morning. After hearing the noise, Huang, who was in charge of the decoration, ran out. When he saw that it was Gu Tongwan, he smiled and greeted her, "Boss Gu, how come you are free today?"
Gu Tongwan had previously mentioned to Brother Huang that he was quite busy recently and might not be free before the renovation was completed, so he did not inform him in advance today.
Fortunately, Brother Huang was very responsible in the decoration. Even though he knew Gu Tongwan was a temporary visitor, he returned to his work after exchanging a few words.
After getting off the car, Xiaoyang looked up and down at the guesthouse. It had four floors in total, and the area of each floor was not too large, but it was just right as a guesthouse. There was even a small courtyard outside, which was really rare.
"This guesthouse doesn't look very big. Can I go in and take a look at the decoration?" Xiao Yang became interested and turned to look at Gu Tongwan.
"Of course, you can also give some suggestions." Gu Tongwan smiled.
As soon as you enter, there is a large reception desk just like an ordinary guesthouse, with sofas and coffee tables next to it, and even a few bookshelves.
The last time Liao Yunyun came here, the unfinished building had not been completed yet. Now seeing that it has been renovated, she feels instantly refreshed.
"Wanwan, it's OK. The designer you hired seems to be very tasteful. The design of this restaurant and the materials used for the floor are very high-end. It doesn't look like a guesthouse at all. It's almost like a boutique hotel."
After Liao Yunyun finished speaking, she ran to the kitchen again. When she came back, her eyes lit up. "The kitchen is quite big, but it will require a lot of facilities. Is our budget enough?"
"Just barely enough?" Gu Tongwan was actually a little unsure. After all, she only had less than 40,000 points left, but she had not prepared the tables, chairs, benches for the restaurant, beds, beddings, and bathroom facilities for the room. When she thought of this, she suddenly felt that the money was not enough. She estimated that she would need to go to the underground trading center in the near future and find a way to sell the fruits in her hands to the Tiger Faction. Moreover, the fruits had to be rare, otherwise the Tiger Faction might not trade with her.
"If all else fails, we can go to a private bank."
Liao Yunyun thought for a while before saying the name, because she knew that Gu Tongwan didn't seem to like this kind of institution similar to private lending, and in the end times, the interest rates of such money houses were extremely high and there were great risks. But on the other hand, this kind of private money house also lends the fastest, and the review of materials is relatively less strict. As long as you have something as collateral, you can sign and lend the money.
Sure enough, upon hearing these two words, Gu Tongwan immediately shook his head: "No, I don't agree. The interest rates of underground banks are too high and too dangerous. There is no need to get into these troubles. I have my own way to solve it."
"You can't be..." Liao Yunyun hesitated to speak. After all, there was Xiaoyang next to her, and she couldn't get the word "arms" out of her mouth. But she was still very worried that Gu Tongwan would take risks for this matter.
Gu Tongwan could see the worry in Liao Yunyun's eyes, so he comforted her: "Don't worry, it's not what you think. I have other ideas, but I can't tell you right now."
Liao Yunyun's lips trembled slightly, but in the end she suppressed all the questions in her mind.
Xiao Yang sensed the subtle atmosphere between the two of them, and just when he was feeling awkward, Liao Yunyun pointed at the restaurant and said, "We haven't started setting up the tables and chairs yet. I came to you today mainly to take pictures outside, as well as the yard and other corners. It seems that these have already been arranged."
It was only after Liao Yunyun reminded Xiao Yang that he noticed that there were indeed quite a few green potted plants in the yard. He heard that there was also a part on the roof, and the layout of the "garden restaurant and bar" had basically been completed, so he excitedly followed the two to the rooftop.
In order to create the feeling of a rooftop garden, Gu Tongwan went to the flower and bird market to look for suitable green potted plants, but after a round of walking around, he found that the potted plants sold in the flower and bird market in the base were all dug from the big forest in the north. They have a very high survival rate and are heat and cold resistant, but at the same time they are very expensive. For example, a pot of ordinary green ivy costs nearly 150 points, and vegetation such as bougainvillea that can spread over a large area costs two or three hundred points. If it is a flower plant, it will be even more expensive. Plants of the Rosaceae family are usually around four or five hundred points, and even some rare ones such as orchids or crabapples can cost thousands of points.
If one wants to completely transform the rooftop into a sky garden, one will need at least a large number of green plants and flowers, as well as suitable soil and money. This will cost at least five figures, and may even reach thirty or forty thousand. This is far beyond Gu Tongwan's budget of around eight thousand points.
So yesterday morning Gu Tongwan simply gritted his teeth, got up at seven in the morning, had breakfast, and then drove with his two dogs towards the big forest in the north.
------
Going to the northern forest again after about half a year, Gu Tongwan had to make comprehensive preparations in advance. For example, he awakened the blood vine in his body in advance after getting up in the morning. He also went to the forum last night and enlarged the plant he wanted in the plant encyclopedia section of the forum to show the two dogs, and told them to look for similar species in the northern forest.
Fortunately, the weather was good when she went out. It was near the end of March, so the temperature had been warming up. The outdoor temperature was minus seventeen degrees Celsius. She was wearing a space item [Corset]. Although it could not keep warm, it could keep out the cold and wind. The most important point was that it could prevent sharp objects from cutting the skin to a certain extent. She put on a sweater and a thin fleece jacket on the outside, and quilted pants underneath. This set was both cold-proof and light, and very suitable for outdoor activities.
She carries a small backpack on her back, which contains some commonly used tools. This way, she doesn't need to enter the consciousness space every time. Otherwise, repeatedly entering and exiting will deplete her mental strength to a certain extent.
The first layer of the northern forest is basically safe, but the plant and animal resources are not that rich. There are only some tall broadwood trees and some vegetation that are not suitable for indoor cultivation.
Gu Tongwan went directly into the second-level area, where most of the C-level mutant animals existed. She encountered several mutant bats as soon as she entered. However, she didn't need to do anything as the two dogs used lightning to knock the bats down from mid-air.
It had been a long time since they had hunted freely, and the two dogs seemed unusually excited, especially when they were restless in the car earlier. Even the blood vine in the back of her hand seemed to be sensitive to something in the northern forest. The closer she got to the depths of the forest, the more she could feel the blood vines and the more excited they became.
In fact, if you want to get most of the mutated plants, it is enough to go directly to the second area. The second area is also where most hunters are active. Gu Tongwan’s goal this time is mainly to collect suitable plants, so he has no plans to enter the danger zone.
Less than ten minutes after entering the second area, the blue wind chimes were discovered deep in the jungle, which prompted Gu Tongwan to quickly take out tools and start digging.
The magical thing about the big forest in the north is that all kinds of plants from all over the world can be found here, regardless of season or region. You can see vegetation found only in subtropical areas as well as trees found in extremely cold regions. Therefore, it is very easy to find the plants you want here. Moreover, the soil here is not ordinary soil. At least the soil in this area is more cold-resistant and heat-resistant. Previously, the base sent a large number of troops into this area and transported a lot of soil to the base for farming.
At the beginning, the two dogs played wildly for a while, and Gu Tongwan also let them forage for food this time. After all, there is no place more suitable than the forest to completely release the nature of wild beasts. Moreover, there are rich species of mutant animals here. The two dogs will surely have a good feast.
The two dogs finally returned at noon, already full. You can see that their bellies are bulging, which means they ate a lot.
Gu Tongwan wiped the sweat from her forehead. This time she had picked a lot of the plants she wanted, but the digging process was a little hard. First of all, the roots of the plants must not be damaged, especially some flowers, which had to be treated with caution. Another reason was that the area was too large. For example, she found a lot of bougainvilleas growing in a mixture of pink and rose red. It took at least half an hour just to dig out all the roots.
It would be great if I were a plant-type mutant at this moment. It is said that plant-type mutants can use their superpowers to directly uproot entire plants. Even if the plant itself is destroyed in the process, they can use their superpowers to repair it and restore it.
However, Gu Tongwan is not a psychic, so she is considering whether she can find a plant-related psychic to help organize these plants after bringing them back. The psychic level should not need to be too high, D or C level will be enough.
From 9:30 in the morning until 5:00 in the afternoon, Gu Tongwan could hardly straighten his back before he finally dug up all the green plants he wanted.
