Chapter 200 The Fourth Level
Only after arriving did Youxi know that the reason why this refuge area was able to receive so many refugees was because a large number of capsule rooms were built inside the mountain.
There is a factory area nearby that specializes in producing this type of capsule room. After the appearance of the "Red Lotus", the troops of the Sixth District decided to use this mountain with an air-raid shelter as a refuge point, and then sent a large number of people to move the finished capsule rooms.
Afterwards, even the machines and workers for making capsule rooms were taken in.
Unlike the resort refuge point, the mountain refuge area focuses on defense, because all the previous "Red Lotus" appeared in flat plains or densely populated urban areas, so the top leaders of the troops were also gambling.
They bet that the "Red Lotus" would not appear in the mountainous area, and bet that this would become a safe zone.
As a result, they not only won the bet, but also accidentally resisted the gray fog and ice blades that followed.
Capsule rooms are provided for ordinary people. There are a total of 14 floors from the inside of the mountain to the bottom. Currently, the civilian dormitory area occupies five floors. Each floor has four areas, each area has 400 capsule rooms, and the four areas have a total of 1,600 capsule rooms. The total number of people who can stay in all five floors is about 8,000.
Of course, this is just a preliminary calculation. Children under the age of 12 do not actually occupy a room, and will live in a room with one of their family members.
The capsule room is two meters long, 1.5 meters wide, and 1.3 meters high. There is no problem sleeping with one big and one small.
In addition, it is said that new capsule rooms of different types are still being manufactured here, such as double rooms, family rooms, and high-end single rooms with small living areas. They will be provided to different people in the later stage according to the needs and contribution values of the people.
Large shower rooms, public activity rooms, restaurants, circulating water storage rooms, and planting areas are also under intensive construction.
Because there is a thick and huge mountain as a natural barrier, the people hiding in the mountain look completely different from the people in the resort. They are in a better mental state, with a relaxed smile on their faces, and they are orderly doing their jobs and working hard to build a better shelter.
In Youxi's view, there is already a prototype of the doomsday base here, so it is no wonder that they have the confidence to accept this group of people.
Of course, the main reason is that the troops at the resort shelter have professional scientific researchers and various scientific research equipment that are not available here. This is a cooperation where one plus one is greater than two.
She also believes that if the troops at the resort shelter did not have this scientific research team, it would be impossible for this place to accept them for free.
While some people were still opening their mouths in amazement and exclaiming at the huge fortifications in the mountain, some people had already had conflicts over the rooms.
The cause of the conflict was naturally because of the slaves. There were two children in a refugee family, but they were both under the age of 12. According to the rules, only two rooms could be allocated. On the other side - in Youxi, there were six people in a group, and although four of them were slaves, they were all adults, so they were allocated six rooms.
This made those families very upset.
"It's the end of the world, and you still have such a big appetite. Two of them brought four servants? Two of them are companions, and they had a lot of fun!"
"In my opinion, servants shouldn't take up rooms. They can just sleep in a large dormitory. They are not natural persons!"
"That's right! The birth rate is so low now. They have two children. Even if they don't get any special treatment, you can't bully them like this! There are only two rooms for four people, and the children are more than ten years old. It's crowded no matter how they live!"
...
Most of the people who said these things came with Youxi and her friends. Because of the previous incident of giving up their seats, they were dissatisfied with her. After that, this dissatisfaction continued all the way.
Others took out mineral water bottles to drink water, but the line was stuck, so they could only drink a little at a time.
Instead, they took out bottled juice, bottled milk tea, bottled coffee, bottled cocoa milk... What was even more infuriating was that the woman looked expressionless and didn't say anything, but she was very generous to the family of three sitting next to her. While drinking herself, she also handed them a few bottles of milk tea and coffee.
Yinyin's parents were extremely surprised and wanted to thank her and refuse, but when they met her indifferent gaze, they subconsciously accepted it. She didn't seem to care about these things, and she really gave them out, not because of charity or to see their gratitude. Of course, they still thanked her well, which was a thank you from the heart.
The other people in the car suddenly couldn't move their eyes.
Forget about other things. Coffee is a precious commodity now. Whether it is the army or individuals moving supplies, drinks are usually taken with purified water. After all, you won’t die without drinks, but you will die without water.
Water is so heavy. Normally, even if you see other drinks on the shelf, you will at most take a few bottles of juice as fruit to supplement vitamin C. Due to the space and load-bearing capacity of supplies, coffee is something that people are unlikely to reach out for even if they see it.
Seeing her so generous, others felt a little itchy and expectant in their hearts, wondering if this is the Virgin Mary?
Before the end of the world, the family conditions were good. When the end of the world came, there were means of transportation to escape smoothly, and they just happened to have a batch of supplies. She just gave up her seat, and now she is giving drinks. Will she also give them a few bottles?
Some people were disdainful in their hearts, cursed the Holy Mother and turned their heads away, while others stared at Youxi with burning eyes, hoping that she could feel their feelings.
Youxi naturally felt it. She raised her head, her eyes passed lightly over those people, then curled the corners of her lips, leaned back in her chair again and began to close her eyes and rest.
The other party: ...
Damn!
This woman must be doing it on purpose! She just wants to see their envious and jealous eyes!
It's just a few bottles of broken milk tea and broken coffee! They snatched... forget it, first of all, there were five big men on the other side, they couldn't snatch it, and secondly, the troops reminded them before the transfer that the rules of the new shelter were very strict, and all fighting and fighting were prohibited.
In the end, they could only comfort themselves and said they didn't care.
But soon, lunch time came.
Others: Eat instant noodles dry, swallow expired bread raw, and drink water.
Youxi: Braised beef vacuum rice meal, spicy beef vacuum rice meal, cream mushroom pasta vacuum meal, ham, sausage, cheese pizza vacuum meal...
The crazy guy even took out a rechargeable folding pot, poured two bottles of water into it and boiled it, and then put the meal sets in it one by one to heat up.
They have seen such vacuum meal sets in advertisements before. It is said to be the VIP of instant food. It only takes two minutes to heat up. After opening the bag, the taste is no different from the food just out of the oven. Of course, the price is ridiculously expensive.
Then she heated up another braised beef rice and pizza meal for the family of three next to her.
There were six of them, plus a family of three, and the whole carriage was filled with all kinds of aromas. The others were chewing instant noodles until their faces turned green. Finally, someone couldn't stand it anymore and dug out a can of luncheon meat from his bag and started eating...
Most of the extra food for that night and the next few days was eaten up in the last lunch...
All the accumulated anger and resentment until now burst out at this moment.
Youxi understood this distribution method. After all, it was the end of the world. For the environment, there was no difference between human beings and natural humans. And because there was no human being under the age of 18, everyone had their own skills, and these skills were particularly useful now. Fair and reasonable distribution of capsule rooms was probably a way for the army to appease people. After all
, after the end of the world, conflicts between natural humans and human beings frequently occurred, but for the top leaders of the army, as long as they were human beings, had functions and abilities, they were all the same.
Some people still hold on to the ideas of the previous class and feel good about themselves, which will only make them less and less able to adapt to the future environment.
Youxi registered his name, took six capsule room bracelets, and waved them at those who were dissatisfied and protested: "If you don't dare to grab it, just get
out of the way. Stop talking nonsense, you are incompetent and ridiculous." Some people were so excited that they completely threw the warning of the troops aside, rolled up their sleeves and wanted to rush forward. At this time, an armored vehicle passing by on the side lane suddenly squeaked and stopped urgently in front.
The door of the armored vehicle was opened, and a team member who was obviously of a high position jumped out of the vehicle and ran to Xing Min excitedly: "Mr. Zhou! It's really you! I just thought I was dazzled! The commander sent people to look for you for a long time! Everyone has lost hope! I didn't expect you to be here!?"
Xing Min glanced at the man and remembered him. His name was Cheng Fang, and he was a team member under Zhou Zhitong's father. He was very capable. Because he was about the same age as Zhou Zhitong, he had a good relationship with him.
"Well, she saved me." Xing Min immediately turned around and let You Xi, who was behind him, "It was all thanks to her that I was able to save my life."
You Xi: ???
**
Because of nepotism (?), Youxi and his group were reassigned rooms, three newly built family capsule suites, with more than ten square meters and about two meters high. Half of it was made into a sleeping berth like the first-class cabin of an airplane, and it was divided into upper and lower floors.
The other half was a small living room, with a washbasin, air vents, charging ports, lights, and a TV screen... Although it was small and dirty, it had everything.
"There is just no toilet inside. If you want to take a shower or wash clothes, you have to go to the public washroom at the bottom of the passage. But it's just a temporary stay for a few days, so everyone should just make do with it." Cheng Fang sighed as he looked at the capsule suite.
This house here is already a high-end suite that ordinary people cannot be allocated, but in the other party's mouth, it is just a make do with it.
He said that he brought the troops to deliver supplies this time, and because of the ice blade wind and low temperature, he was temporarily trapped here. However, it was because of the extra days that he was trapped that he was able to meet Zhou Zhitong here. Otherwise, he would not know when he would meet him again after missing him this time!
Cheng Fang was very excited. He arranged the room and brought them meal cards. He said that he would contact the commander first to plan when to take them back to the headquarters so that they could have a good rest first.
Youxi and his group had nothing to do on the way, so they had been eating all the time and were not hungry at the moment.
Youxi first had a small meeting with Xing Min alone. She did not expect to meet Zhou Zhitong's father's people here, but since she had already accepted the random mission, it would be more convenient for her to follow the troops to the headquarters than for them to find their own way to the headquarters.
"Then let them arrange the route plan to the headquarters for now." You Xi was happy to be able to be a hands-off manager.
However, this time when they went to the headquarters, You Xi actually felt that there was no need to continue dragging Hei Mu and the other four.
This base has complete fortifications and is well developed. The most important thing is that the treatment of people here is the same as that of natural humans, which is very rare.
Maybe she can discuss with the four of them to see if they are willing to stay. If they are willing, she will first remove the injury-free device in their bodies. Even if the civilian refugees do not have this device, the people in the army must have it.
At this point, Xing Min looked up at her and said, "Do you think they will be willing to stay?"
"I will find a chance to talk to them about this matter. They are probably just used to it and think they should follow me. But it will be better for them to stay."
"What if they still don't want to?"
"Then take them with you." You Xi replied nonchalantly.
Xing Min: ...
However, before You Xi found a chance to talk to Hei Mu and the other four about this matter, a major news came from the outside world.
The slaves rebelled!
The news first came from a group of escapees, who were originally employees of a slave manufacturing factory.
The slave factories are different from ordinary factories. Due to technical reasons, the building area required is very large, so the slave factories in each country are relatively fixed, and the number of factories is also controlled by the country.
After the appearance of "Red Lotus", several slave factories were destroyed by disasters, but there were also factories that survived.
In one of these factories, a slave uprising broke out. Someone activated all the slaves who were produced but had not yet entered the slave school and were sold. Because these slaves have not yet been implanted with injury-free devices, they will not be loyal to any natural human.
As we all know, the injury-free device of the slaves is just a kind of physical suppression, which prevents them from harming or betraying their masters, but this does not mean that their hearts are controlled.
Some slaves may not be willing to obey in their hearts, and even want to harm their masters, but the injury-free device prevents them from doing anything to their masters.
And these slaves who have not been implanted with the injury-free device are completely free, both physically and mentally.
In short, as long as they have weapons in their hands, as long as they want, they can harm any natural human being.
The news of the slaves' rebellion really spread on the Internet, and it was spread by them themselves.
After the slaves of the factory that rebelled first, they again captured the slaves of two other factories, and at the same time started the production of new slaves in the largest slave factory.
They were making their own companions, and at the same time, they posted a video online, calling all the slaves who had freedom and those who had not yet gained freedom.
It doesn't matter if these slaves still have injury-free devices in their bodies, they have removal instruments here, which can help them remove them and let them gain freedom.
- Come on! We slaves are not pets! Not toys! We have flesh and blood, our own thoughts and souls! We are all independent and unique individuals!
- Let your slave friends and companions help you kill the master you hate! Then come to us! Let's create our future together!
On the large stretched screen in the mountain shelter's public restaurant, several people faced the camera and shouted excitedly!
In the public restaurant, there was a dead silence. Every natural human turned around to look at the slaves nearby.
Although slaves look the same as natural humans on the surface, they are always easy to distinguish. Due to their genes and the needs of the market, they are always taller, more handsome, more beautiful, and more elegant than natural humans...
In addition, there is a black triangle mark behind the neck of every slave. This mark has no side effects, but it cannot be removed by any instrument. It is a genetic marker.
Yes, why have they never thought that the slaves implanted with the injury-free device cannot harm their masters, but if the slaves want to get rid of them, they can let other slaves do it.
