A mysterious global blackout causes schools to shut down, factories to stop operating, and all land, sea, and air transport to be suspended. Supermarkets are completely looted, and a greater crisis...
Chapter 123 Seed Bank
Hearing that this might be a seed bank, Zhang Qingfang seemed extremely excited. "Then can this door be opened?"
Jiang Chengwu frowned and said, "There might be miasma or poisonous insects inside. It's better to be cautious and not open it."
Jiang Si nodded, "Yes, Grandpa is right. We are not short of supplies now, so there is no need to open it."
The seeds stored in a general seed bank include hundreds of crops such as grain, cotton, oil, fruit, vegetables, tea, sugar, mulberry, grass, etc. The main task is to carry out long-term strategic preservation of the germplasm resources of crops, vegetables, pastures, and other crops and their wild relatives.
If they opened this place and found that it was really a small seed bank, the basic survival supplies inside would be enough for them to use for more than a hundred years.
But compared to supplies, safety is of course the most important.
When everyone unanimously agreed not to open the door and to cover it with snow again, suddenly, the steel door on the ground made a click.
Shen Baoying suspected that her ears were having an illusion and asked hurriedly: "Did you hear it? It seems like something is turned on."
As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at the ground.
The crackling sound was getting louder and louder, it was definitely not an earthquake.
Everyone quickly moved their feet away from the door and stared at it, not daring to blink.
Jiang Si held Zhang Qingfang's arm and continued to retreat. "Be careful, there might be a bomb or something. Everyone, retreat!"
Everyone retreated more than a hundred meters, and suddenly, the steel door on the ground twisted and opened.
Everyone held their breath.
Could it be that there are still many refugees hiding inside?
Jiang Si signaled to everyone: "Hide quickly and don't be discovered."
Everyone crawled on the snow pile and waited patiently.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes...five minutes passed.
Suddenly, a bloody hand stretched out from inside.
As everyone was astonished, a brown foreign man with messy hair and a disheveled body suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.
There are actually survivors.
Everyone held their guns tightly, guarding against possible dangers.
The man used his hands to block out the dazzling environment, and looked at everything around him with a dull look. Suddenly, he went crazy again, crying and laughing, tearing his face until it was covered in blood. His eyeballs were dug out and rolled to the ground.
Jiang Linhai frowned, "Is this guy crazy?"
Jiang Si nodded, "It seems so."
He was even able to dig out his own eyeballs with his own hands. It seemed that he was extremely crazy and beyond cure.
The way he was about to dig a hole in his head looked like he was going to mutate, which was really terrifying.
Jiang Si was afraid that it was a mutated zombie, so he stared at him nervously to see if he would behave like a zombie.
Fortunately, it didn’t.
The man probably couldn't bear the physical and psychological torture, so he raised the gun in his hand and committed suicide.
Jiang Si waited patiently for a while, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the man's body did not change or stand up.
Smelling the blood in the air, snow monkeys appeared in groups of two or three, jumping and flying, and dragged the man's body away right under everyone's eyes.
But he didn't dare go down into the steel door.
They are all very alert.
The man's blood was like red fuel, drawing shocking bloodstains on the snow.
Everyone was used to seeing bloody scenes, so at this point, they were actually getting used to it.
Lu Zhifeng asked: "What should we do now?"
The door is still open, if there really is something good in it.
Once the snow monkeys confirm that there is no danger, they will definitely go in and hunt.
However, judging from the man's mental state just now, there might be something even more terrifying underneath.
If this situation had happened before, Jiang Si would definitely have told everyone not to get close and to retreat and observe first.
But Qin Shen is here.
He had extraordinary hearing, extraordinary strength, and the power of healing, and she suddenly had the courage to find out.
His gaze unconsciously turned to Qin Shen.
Qin Shen met her gaze and understood her thoughts. He lowered his voice and whispered in her ear, "There are no survivors."
The low voice and hot breath were so close that Shen Baoying saw the two of them whispering in each other's ears and secretly pulled Jiang Linhai.
Jiang Si said to everyone, "Qin Shen and I will go over and take a look first. You guys wait for us outside."
Jiang Linhai was very worried. "Sisi, forget it. Let's go in two days!"
Jiang Si shook his head. "After a few days, all the harmless places will be used as nests by some dangerous creatures."
In the end, everyone let the young man take the risk.
Qin Shen walked in front and Jiang Si walked behind him, shielding her from the wind and rain.
Soon, Qin Shen looked down and said to Jiang Si, "We found three bodies. They were all shot."
Jiang Si leaned over to look and saw that the three corpses all had extremely ferocious expressions of hostility towards each other.
The psychological state before death should be similar to that of a man who commits suicide.
There are oxygen tanks around, and they will kill each other, perhaps to fight for the oxygen tanks.
Qin Shen asked again: "Are we going down?"
Jiang Si nodded, "Yeah."
Qin Shen walked down the bloodstained stairs to about two meters above the ground and stretched out his hand towards her.
Jiang Si grabbed it, and the moment he landed, he could see the situation at the entrance clearly.
In addition to the three bodies at your feet, there are three more bodies in the corridor inside.
However, the other three bodies seemed to have been dead for at least half a month.
Jiang Si and Qin Shen looked up and saw the obvious sign.
As she guessed, it was a small seed bank.
The seed bank will be kept at a temperature below minus twenty degrees Celsius, so the corpses will not have the smell of decay.
They were wary of the entrance closing suddenly, so they used something to completely block it before going deeper inside.
There were scattered oxygen cylinders, food scraps, glass fragments, and unknown seeds mixed in everywhere.
Jiang Si and Qin Shen pushed open a room and saw a lot of food.
But it was not as much as she imagined, only about a quarter of the food stored in her space.
But it’s still a lot, unfortunately her space can’t hold it all.
There are enough supplies on board, so there is no need to move more.
After opening other rooms, several bodies and various supplies were found one after another.
At most, it is a seed marked with blood in a sealed glass container.
When she arrived at the last large warehouse, Jiang Si saw something that excited her.
Materials for self-heating greenhouses: graphene and sunspot powder.
The greenhouse can generate heat automatically without electricity, and maintain the temperature of the greenhouse at around 10 to 20 degrees in extremely cold temperatures.
It is a top-grade building material for building houses without any need to build a self-heating greenhouse.
If the extreme cold temperature drops a little, they can use these building materials to build a small beach villa.
With a boat, a villa and a greenhouse, life is full of joy and happiness.
Jiang Si said excitedly: "Let's deal with the bodies and keep the supplies here."
