Chapter 4: Scavengers Luo Xingyi

The Moon Palace Experimental Base is located underground in Qinglan City, which had the strongest scientific and technological strength back then.When Qinglan City first planned the development of the urban area, it deliberately circled a piece of land to build a new city. Later, there was a world-renowned science and technology city attached to Qinglan City.

And under the Science and Technology City is the "Moon Palace" base.

One up and one down, separated by a layer of ground, like two mirror-image twin cities.

Because of the huge building area of ​​the "Moon Palace", there are eight entrances and exits in total, and the six commonly used entrances and exits have all been destroyed by the virus disaster and artillery fire.Of the remaining two exits, one is a channel for submarines to enter and exit below sea level, and the other is in the suburbs of Qinglan City.

The entrance and exit of the suburbs are hidden in the ecological park forest, and the design is very aesthetic when it is built. It is a chasing corridor with birds and flowers, which is skillfully and naturally integrated with the ecological park.

"Moon Palace" was a highly secret military experiment base back then, and it was not open to the outside world, and employees' passes were required for entry and exit.Therefore, even people who have lived in Qinglan City all their lives don't know that there is a hidden cave under the Chaoshou Corridor. It is just a money-burning landscape built by the government to build a 5A scenic spot.

Before walking out of the "Moon Palace", Luo Xingyi thought wildly while climbing the stairs - Wang Shu did not accept his suggestion of taking the elevator - 24 years have passed, and he doesn't know what the outside world will be like.

After he walked out of the gate of the base and saw the scene outside, he realized that he still had too many thoughts.

A minute ago, he was still boldly assuming whether a new city of the future would have been established outside, such as AI fully entering human society, and various high-tech products can be seen everywhere... For example, as soon as you come out, you can see friendly virtual customer service, take him Get to know the new world again, and re-do a citizenship certification or something.

Maybe because of the vastness of the land and sparse population, I can arrange housing, assign jobs, receive wages and year-end bonuses that have been arrears for many years, and live a happy life with high benefits from now on...

All these beautiful imaginations are aborted at the first sight after opening the door.

Sometimes, reality is really cruel.

Back then, Qinglan City was a first-tier city with a very strong economy, and the ecological park forest was built for the gimmick of creating a city symbol.Although all the beautiful scenery was destroyed by the catastrophe brought about by the "sunset" virus, Luo Xingyi did not expect that after 24 years, this place is still ruined, a piece of lifeless scorched earth.

Even compared to 24 years ago when the zombies ravaged, it was even dilapidated.

Half of the ingenious Chaoshou corridor collapsed and was blackened by the fire. The surrounding plants were all dead. After years of wind and rain, a depression not far away rotted into black mud, and the entire forest area was filled with smoke. Heavy swamp gas.

For a while, neither Luo Xingyi nor Wang Shu made a sound, quietly watching this dead place that even crows would not visit.

After a long time, Luo Xingyi said out loud, "Are you going to destroy this exit too?"

"Yes, closing the 'Moon Palace' is a pre-written procedure." Wang Shu replied.

"Let me take another look then."

Luo Xingyi turned around and looked at the "Moon Palace" with a very familiar architectural style behind the gate, feeling indescribable for a moment.It's as if the seven souls and eight souls that have been dormant for many years have finally gathered together, and the injuries he caused while fighting the monsters below seem to have finally fallen on him at this time, his waist hurts, his legs hurt, and the bones that were almost knocked apart It hurts too.

It was strange, at this moment, Luo Xingyi felt that after waking up from the hibernation cabin for so long, he finally had a sense of reality.

——He really came to the future 24 years later, he is far, far away from his previous life.

The light inside the door was white, a very familiar white, and he had lived in this white for most of his life.

A long time ago, Luo Xingyi was the young master of a rich family for a few days, but something happened and he came to the "Moon Palace".From then on, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all here. Even after the outbreak of the zombie virus, they will go out to perform tasks, and they will eventually return here.

So for Luo Xingyi, "Moon Palace" seems to have become half of his family.

However, the actual meaning of the word "home" is very strict. Only when there are people and concerns can one call a place of long-term residence a home.

The "Moon Palace" has been emptied, and his parents, elders, friends, and colleagues have all disappeared during the 24 years of his absence, and his life and death are uncertain.So for Luo Xingyi now, it no longer has the special meaning of home.

"Close the door, let's go." Luo Xingyi took one last look at the gate of the "Moon Palace", carried the looted weapon on his back, and walked away.

Time has gone too far, and he, who was left behind for some reason, must hurry up and hurry up to catch up with the pace of time.

After leaving this ecological forest park that had turned into a swamp, Luo Xingyi saw that the city had collapsed outside the barren land, and the scene of the doomsday ruins in the previous disaster movies was incomparably restored.Even the city logo of Qinglan City in the distance - the towering and concise "Tower of Science and Technology" that shows the beauty of lines has been worn away from its former glory, and has been reduced to an inconspicuous yellow sand at the bottom of the river over time.

There is no grass on this wasteland, domestic garbage and steel debris are dumped at will, like a large unmanaged garbage dump.

Then Luo Xingyi walked forward for a certain distance, and found that this place was really an unmanned garbage dump.

I don't know how many years this place has been abandoned. Luo Xingyi walked for a long time among the garbage before he managed to find a dilapidated bicycle that could be used as a means of transportation.

What he never expected was that today in 2046, the bicycle that Luo Xingyi pulled out from a pile of scrap metal was actually a popular model in 2020!

What are you doing, technology has not advanced at all!

And this old antique bicycle from 26 years ago not only blew the tire, rusted the chain, but also knocked the handlebar into a rather artistic shape.Luo Xingyi, a waste picker on the edge of the city, wanted to continue using it, so he had to pick up some usable accessories and replace it with it.

After leaving the "Moon Palace", Wang Shu lost most of her functions because of hardware facilities. She could only live in a storage device the size of a mobile phone, observe the outside world through a camera, and communicate with Luo Xingyi through speakers and text.

It watched Luo Xingyi repairing tires and screwing screws to adjust the bicycle seat, and let out an emotionless exclamation: "Mr. There is no record of similar behavior."

Luo Xingyi picked up an old-fashioned pump from nowhere, and while filling it up, he said, "I don't want to either. After two months of rolling around in the apocalypse, what else can I not learn?"

"But the situation is even worse now." Luo Xingyi got more angry, stepped on the car with his long legs and stepped on the pedals, "After all, all the things I picked up at that time were four-wheeled ones."

"Mr. Luo, where are you going next?" Wang Shu asked.

Luo Xingyi rode his bicycle "creaking" on the road without a car, and had no target, "I don't know."

Wang Shu said: "If you don't mind, can I trouble you to take me to the Internet?"

"Okay, yes." Luo Xingyi replied casually, thinking to himself, I can't even see a single person now, so why do I still use the Internet.

After riding along this road for two hours, Luo Xingyi entered the changed city of Qinglan City.

In fact, it can't be called an urban area, because this once prosperous metropolis is now almost the same as the ruined dump just now, and the buildings seem to have been frozen by time. When they stay in 2021, they are shrouded in uninhabited decadent.

They all entered the area very close to the center, and only then did Luo Xingyi see traces of human activities.

However, the situation is not optimistic.

In the former central business district of Qinglan City, now it is like a slum in the old society. Illegal buildings have sprung up one after another. The steel skeletons and private wires are exposed without any aesthetic feeling, like a pain in the struggle for survival. Those who entangled and climbed up, hanging between the buildings in a miasma.

The densely packed paved houses cling to the ants in a small area as if they are hugging each other for warmth, crowding the streets to the brim.Clothes, vegetables, and meat are hung on wires everywhere, filling the gaps between the buildings so that no light can get through.

The homeless man on the side of the road who was drunk was laughing stupidly, and the dirty and thin child opened the trash can and kept rummaging for food, the smell was strong.

When he got here, Luo Xingyi's bicycle couldn't go in. He parked the bicycle aside and looked for the way. When he came back, he found that the bicycle had been stolen.

One person and one AI were all stunned: "... Are the people here devils? It's so scary, they steal garbage?"

Luo Xingyi, who lost his temporary means of transportation, had no choice but to continue walking on two legs, during which time he was almost hit by a bag of food waste thrown from high altitude.

The street can still vaguely see the shadow of the reasonable planning back then, but now it is in disarray. Sewage and garbage can be seen everywhere. The scolding of two women with sharp voices can be heard across two streets. Little children yelled and played role-playing games.

"Bang!" A child A raised his hand in the pose of a pistol, but the person "hit" by him remained motionless, and he couldn't help shouting, "Hey! You're dead!"

The child B who was supposed to be "shot" replied: "I didn't, I am an invincible superman after being infected by 'Sunset', I am immortal!"

Child A refused to accept, and replied: "No! I chose this role first! I am Superman!"

Child B thought for a while, wiped his face, and said excitedly: "Okay, then I will be Qu Lin!"

As soon as the child finished speaking, his mother, who was sitting on the street corner playing mahjong, yelled, "Die! How many times have I told you not to play that! Don't say that name!"

"Old sow, don't care what you do!"

Bypassing this group of rambunctious brats, Luo Xingyi walked into a relatively quiet street, but only after he walked in did he realize that it was a prostitution street.

The smell of women's inferior perfume is mixed with other peculiar smells, mixed with the sound of savage copulation in the corner, making this street quiet and lewd, and the senses are very bad.

Probably because Luo Xingyi was carrying two guns and looked unfriendly, the wandering warblers hid in the house and did not dare to greet him rashly, watching him pass by while smoking a cigarette.

When he walked through a closed door, a young girl opened the door halfway, leaned against the door and boldly asked: "Handsome, are you looking for fun?"

"Don't whore, get out." Luo Xingyi was very ruthless.

Seeing that the unconvinced Luo Xingyi was about to walk out of the street, the girl behind the door hesitated for a second, followed his footsteps, and hurriedly shouted: "I can do anything! Please buy me!" !please……"

Luo Xingyi stopped, turned his head, his eyes fell on the girl's hand holding his backpack, and then on her face, turned slightly, and pulled the backpack out of her hand neatly.

The girl saw him stop, her eyes were very timid, but there was a flattering smile on her face, "I can do anything, as long as you are satisfied."

The girl in front of her face was covered in heavy make-up, her skin was not shiny with foundation, her hair was withered and yellow, and her body wrapped in a red dress was thin and petite. It is estimated that after washing off the heavy makeup, she would be found to be a minor.

Seeing that Luo Xingyi's expression showed no intention of agreeing, the girl lowered her head embarrassingly, "I'm sorry..."

She bowed her head in an extremely humble manner, the back of her neck was so thin that only a layer of skin remained, and the bones protruded abruptly, because she had hung her head for a long time, it was a bit deformed.It's hard to imagine, this is what a little girl should look like.

There used to be a little girl similar to her age in the "Moon Palace", but she withered in her best years.

Thinking of that little girl who was always eccentric, Luo Xingyi felt compassion for a moment. He flicked left and right on his body, took out a gold nugget and handed it to the girl, saying casually, "Take it for something to eat."

This gold nugget was picked up by Luo Xingyi when he left the base. Although the outside world is different, but the natural currency of gold, it will definitely be the hard currency in a few decades after no accidents.

After searching and searching, they only found such a small piece. Luo Xingyi originally planned to save it for himself to buy a meal, but now...

Right to do good deeds.

When the girl saw the gold, her eyes were straightened. She took the small gold nugget and asked stammeringly, "You, you, where do you want to be?"

Luo Xingyi shook his head, said "free gift" and left.

After leaving the prostitute street, Luo Xingyi felt the mobile phone with Wang Shu vibrate twice, took it out and looked, and there were three words typed on the screen in a concise manner: I want to surf the Internet.

Luo Xingyi: "Wang Shu."

A word appeared on the phone screen: In.

Luo Xingyi was in a complicated mood: "Are you... Internet addicted?"
