Chapter 304: Disappearance of People in Yunhai City
Xia Xiaoman was shocked when she saw the two men. "Uncle Wen Gang? Why is it you? Why are you here?"
The visitors were Ye Wengang and his son Ye Guangsheng.
Ye Wengang grinned and rubbed his waist and said, "I need your help with something."
Hearing this, Xia Xiaoman's heart was alarmed, "Uncle, what can I do for you? Tell me first. If I can't help you, I can help you find the security team."
Ye Wengang sighed, "It's like this, Ah Sheng's cousin is Xiaohu. Half a month ago, Xiaohu had an argument with his mother and ran away from home. At first, his mother didn't take it seriously, thinking that Xiaohu was just throwing a tantrum and would come back for dinner. Who knew that three or four days have passed and he hasn't shown up yet."
"Xiaohu's mother was worried. She looked for Xiaohu several times in the place where Yunhai City was stationed but couldn't find him. Xiaohu's mother suspected that Xiaohu had come to Fucheng. The two cities are close to each other, so it is normal for Xiaohu to come here."
"Xiaohu's mother came to Floating City five days ago. When she left, she said that if she didn't find Xiaohu, she would come back no later than three days. You see, it's been so many days, and Xiaohu's mother hasn't come back yet."
"Xiao Hu is my second brother's child after all. Before he died, he told me to take good care of his wife and children. Now his wife and children are gone. If I don't find them, I won't be able to face my second brother in the afterlife."
Xia Xiaoman understood, "Uncle Wen Gang, you came here just to ask me to help you find Xiao Hu and his mother?"
Ye Wengang nodded, "Yes! We are unfamiliar with the place, but you are more familiar with this place and know where to find people. Xiaoman, since your uncle was nice to you before, can you help me?"
Xia Xiaoman was somewhat helpless. If she guessed correctly, the mother and son were most likely captured by the laboratory. How could the laboratory give up such a good target for someone who came alone from another place?
"Uncle Wen Gang, it's better for you to ask the security team for help than to ask me for help. I seldom go out and I'm not familiar with the station."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Guangsheng asked, "Will the public security team in Fucheng take the case of missing persons seriously?"
Xia Xiaoman didn't say anything. She didn't take it seriously before, but as for now... it's hard to say.
Seeing her silence, Ye Guangsheng said, "I understand. We won't bother you anymore." After that, he pulled Ye Wengang away.
After walking two steps, Ye Guangsheng turned around and said, "It's not just Second Aunt and Xiaohu who are missing in Yunhai City. There are others as well. I don't know if this has happened in your Fucheng, but I still suggest that you try not to go out alone."
Xia Xiaoman sighed and said, "Before you look for someone, go find out the latest news about Fucheng first, don't look for someone blindly." That was all she could say. If she said anything else, it would only bring disaster to the father and son.
Ye Guangsheng was stunned for a moment, nodded, said thank you, and left with his old father.
It was not difficult to find out about the human experiments, as the laboratory did not have the ability to shut everyone up. Ye Guangsheng found out about the human experiments after a little inquiry. Combined with Xia Xiaoman's attitude, he also guessed the whereabouts of the missing people.
But he did not give up. He still took his father to search in Fucheng for a few days. When he found that he could not find any trace of Xiaohu and his mother, he had to return to the Yunhai City garrison.
Ask Ye Guangsheng why he didn't go to the laboratory to ask for people or go to the office to make trouble?
He is not stupid. If it were a few years ago, when he was still a young boy, he might have been impulsive and messed up the laboratory or office. But after experiencing the turbulent times in the past few years, he has learned not to act impulsively.
This time, he and his old father were the only ones who came to the floating city. If two ordinary people really caused trouble, they would be dealt with quietly.
Instead of impulsively causing trouble, it is better to bring the news of human experiments back to the Yunhai City garrison to make the people of Yunhai City alert and prevent more people from going missing. It would be best to gather a bunch of people and instigate the managers of Yunhai City to go out and compete with the laboratory.
At the same time, the trading point released a new message.
From now on, the trading point will purchase all metal materials, no matter what the item is, as long as it is metal, the trading point will purchase it. In addition, the medical team has sent people to the urban area for testing many times. The urban area is currently free of the risk of infection with the plague, and all survivors in the garrison can go to the urban area to dig for metal.
Xia Xiaoman went to take a look and found that the price of metal purchase was quite high. The purchase price of one kilogram of iron was 20 points, steel was 30 points, and copper was 40 points...
The points for gold and some rare metals are higher, and the units are calculated in hundreds. However, Xia Xiaoman does not plan to sell gold for the time being. He wants to wait and see, at least to find out the progress of the construction of the underground city.
If the gold is sold and the dungeon is not built well and collapses halfway, then all the gold will be wasted.
Currently, there are not many items that can be purchased with points. In order to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, the trading point also announced a message that the capacity of the dungeon is limited. The dungeon currently under construction is expected to accommodate 500,000 people. If you want to stay in the dungeon first, you need to use points to buy a place.
After this news was released, those who had originally had no interest in points became excited and started discussing when to go to the ruins in the city to collect metals.
Li Yu'e also began to organize the Lingxu Gang to go to the city. She had long wanted to go back to the city to dig for supplies, but she was worried that there was a plague in the city, so she did not dare to take any action.
"The underground city can only accommodate 500,000 people, and the floating city garrison has 2 million people. This means that we only have a one-third chance of entering the underground city. This probability is a bit low."
Xia Xiaoman heard this and said, "Sister Yu'e, you don't have to be so anxious. According to the above style of action, 500,000 people should be the minimum number of people to accommodate. You have to add at least 100,000 more people, otherwise how are those dignitaries going to arrange their own people to go in?"
Xiao Zheyu said nonchalantly: "If you ask me, the actual number of people that this underground city can accommodate is at least one million. If you do the math, 500,000 people plus the troops, medical teams, official personnel, and their families and friends, that's almost half a million people!"
Li Yu'e shook her head. "One million is a bit exaggerated. Even if there are one million people, we only have a 1 in 2 chance of entering the dungeon. We still need to accumulate points as quickly as possible and try to bring everyone on the Lingxu Gang into the dungeon."
Others may not know, but she knows that the surface of Blue Star in the future will not be suitable for human survival. If they want to survive, they must enter the underground city.
