The huge building at the top of Hongmei Mountain looked spectacular when viewed from the entrance of their shelter, and it was even more amazing when viewed up close.
The engineering department of the first base was really amazing, building such a base in such a short time. The huge white steel formed a roof that covered the top of the entire Hongmei Mountain, like an open umbrella, protecting the entire mountain.
From a distance, the handles that hold up the umbrella are very slender, inserted from the four corners at the bottom of the mountain. But when you get closer, you will see that those "handles" that support the big steel umbrella are all made of steel, almost as thick as four people hugging together, and look indestructible.
Qiao Xuejun looked up at the sky. In the morning, he could see a lot of marine creatures swimming in the sky, but now the sky was gray and he could not see anything.
I don’t know if this building at the First Base can withstand the attacks of those mutant creatures, but it looks like it can be of no problem.
There are many container-like "security booths" around the base, and soldiers with rifles on their backs are patrolling around them. They are all wearing armor with a metallic luster.
Qiao Xuejun had seen them patrolling before, and they were all wearing normal camouflage uniforms and military uniforms. Now they have changed into metal armor. Is it to prevent attacks from mutant creatures?
Seeing Qiao Xuejun coming, the patrolling soldier stepped forward, walked in front of Qiao Xuejun, and cautiously kept a certain distance from her: "Stop, what's going on!"
They looked at Qiao Xuejun sharply, and frowned when they saw the black ink stains on her shoes.
Qiao Xuejun gave her name: "I am resident No. 78, and I want to come to the market to trade."
This number was the house number that the people from the First Base assigned to the residents on the mountain after they registered their information, saying it was for ease of management.
After hearing Qiao Xuejun report the house number, the two soldiers relaxed a little: "The market is inside the cave, and the transactions are fully protected by the base, so don't worry."
The base also provides protection for traders?
Qiao Xuejun was a little surprised and asked, "Can we find it directly in the cave?"
The soldier said, "It's in the cave on the second level. Just go there. There will be a person in charge to lead you."
Qiao Xuejun thanked the two soldiers and walked forward. There were soldiers patrolling almost everywhere in the First Base, and there were no clams or crabs on the ground. However, Qiao Xuejun saw some broken shells of clams and crabs, which must have been cleared away by the patrolling soldiers as soon as they appeared.
The First Base responded quickly as expected.
Qiao Xuejun slowly approached the cave.
There were people patrolling and registering at the entrance of the cave. After Qiao Xuejun reported her house number and name, she entered the cave.
This cave was not what she had imagined. She thought that in such a dark place, there should be torches, but they actually used electric lights.
The cave was a very large room, with rooms separated by wooden boards and used as different areas. Qiao Xuejun saw the kitchen and the cafeteria, and saw a group of children playing in one of the rooms, some were reading, and some were playing games.
The whole cave is bright and lively, with people coming and going, each doing their job, all in an orderly manner.
Qiao Xuejun saw someone walking around with a clam in his hand, and he was saying, "I wonder if this thing is edible. If it is, we'll make a fortune."
"No way?" Another person walked in with a bunch of boxes filled with unknown things in his arms, and said, "The acid water can burn through the stomach! It can be used as firewood to generate electricity."
This mountain is very big. The top of the cave seems to be a natural cave with a natural depression, but the surrounding area is very flat and square. This should be the trace of artificial excavation. The blasting sound that Qiao Xuejun heard at that time should be the widening of the cave.
"Hey, you, aren't you that someone?" Suddenly, a soldier in a metal protective suit came towards Qiao Xuejun, speaking as if he was meeting an acquaintance. He strode in front of Qiao Xuejun and asked, "What's your name?"
Qiao Xuejun looked at the tall and strong soldier in front of him with a strange look in his eyes, wondering: "You ask me?"
The soldier smiled heartily, his skin was dark but his teeth were very white: "You don't recognize me? Didn't we just meet a few days ago? On the mountain, our captain, biubiubiu."
He made a shooting gesture.
Qiao Xuejun thought: "Are you Lord Zhao's subordinate?"
When Zhao Xian shot and killed four robbers, he was led by two soldiers behind him, and this was one of them.
“Haha, it’s me.”
"Hello." Qiao Xuejun smiled and greeted, "I'm here to do business."
"My name is Ren Wangwang, and I'm the captain's soldier. Let me take you there, what do you want to exchange for?" He was very familiar and began to ask about Qiao Xuejun.
Qiao Xuejun: "I want to change the intercom."
Ren Wangwang looked at Qiao Xuejun, raised his eyebrows and said, "That's high-quality goods, but I need something in exchange."
Qiao Xuejun: "I saved some food, it has a good shelf life."
Ren Wangwang nodded: "It's edible."
What you eat now is the easiest to exchange. You can exchange everything, the only difference is how much you exchange.
Ren Wangwang: "I'll take you there. There's nothing you can't eat in exchange for food. Don't worry."
Qiao Xuejun: "Thank you."
"By the way, do you know our captain?" Ren Wangwang asked.
Qiao Xuejun: “I’ve seen him twice.”
Ren Wangwang: "Really? It doesn't seem like you've met twice. Our captain gave you all his pistols."
Qiao Xuejun paused and glanced at him: "That pistol? Any explanation?"
