Chapter 481: Ground Subsidence 1
The space of the jade pendant and the ring is limited, Xia Xiaoman replied: "The two spaces in my hands are not large, and can't hold much soil."
Lu Lanshan: "The capacity of the two spaces is sufficient. Once a passage is dug out, you can transport the excavated soil to the floating board."
They had originally planned to create a planting area on the floating board. Now that they are digging a passage, the excavated soil can be thrown onto the floating board, saving the need to dig the soil again later.
If the space is not used, the process of transporting the soil to the floating board will be complicated and troublesome, so Lu Lanshan borrowed Xia Xiaoman's space.
Xia Xiaoman learned of Lu Lanshan's intention and sent a message asking, "Is this extra work? Is there any overtime pay?"
Lu Lanshan: “…”
"I'll help you apply for 5,000 points?"
Xia Xiaoman: "I don't need points. I can exchange them for food. 20 kilograms of meat a day. It doesn't matter what kind of meat it is. Fresh meat, frozen meat, or dried meat is fine."
Now she not only has to raise Maodan, but also Nini. There is not much meat stored at home, and she needs meat more than points. The meat in the farm cannot be bought with points. It doesn't matter, she can't even buy an egg.
20 kilograms of meat, mixed with some other food, is just enough for Maodan and Nini to eat for a day.
Lu Lanshan sighed. 20 kilograms of meat a day was much more troublesome than giving 5,000 points. But who asked him to ask for help? He could only say hello to the farm and ask it to send meat to Xia Xiaoman every day.
"I have already contacted the farm. 20 kilograms of meat will be delivered every day starting tomorrow. When can you come to work?"
"So urgent? Has the passage been dug?" Xia Xiaoman asked.
Lu Lanshan: "As soon as the ground subsidence was resolved, we arranged for people to start digging a passage. Now we have dug a passage that can accommodate two people."
Xia Xiaoman: "But I'm trapped on the sixth floor now. The elevator will take two days to repair, so I can't leave at the moment."
Lu Lanshan: "It's okay, I'll send someone to pick you up, where are you now?"
Xia Xiaoman sent the address of the science museum. After waiting in the museum for half an hour, two uniformed soldiers appeared, confirmed Xia Xiaoman's personal information, and took her and Maodan Nini away.
Nini was still reluctant to leave the wolf cub, and after Maodan persuaded her for a long time, she left reluctantly.
Xia Xiaoman, Maodan and Nini followed Sister Bing around for a long time and came to a corner. Sister Bing took out a magnetic card and swiped it on a plain wall. The wall slowly opened to reveal the stairs behind it.
Xia Xiaoman raised her eyebrows, "Is there a secret door like this on every floor?"
The soldier replied, "This is the emergency escape door. If something unexpected happens, someone will organize the survivors to escape from here."
Xia Xiaoman asked again: "Then why didn't anyone lead us to escape from here during this earthquake?"
"When the underground city shook, the power system was damaged, so this door cannot be opened. In addition, the higher-ups have assessed that this accident did not cause too many casualties, and it has not reached the point where it is necessary to violently destroy the escape door."
Another reason is that the higher-ups are worried that if the escape door is opened, the survivors from other levels will gather together and might cause some unnecessary riots.
The escape door is hidden in a hidden location because there is a concern that someone might use it to do something that is detrimental to the survivors or the dungeon.
As they were talking, Xia Xiaoman was taken to the exit. As soon as she walked over, she saw Qiao Wan, who looked haggard.
When Qiao Wan saw her, her eyes lit up as if she had seen a savior, "Xiao Man, you're finally here! You don't know what I've been through these few days."
Qiao Wan cried and complained, "Even Zhou Bapi and Huang Shiren of Lu Lanshan are not as cruel as him. 24 hours a day, except for sleeping and eating, I am either transporting soil or on the way to transport soil. I am not even given a break."
Xia Xiaoman smiled and said, "Is it that exaggerated?"
Qiao Wan nodded frantically, "It's so exaggerated, I'm almost exhausted."
Her space capacity was not large, and the speed of transporting soil could not keep up with the speed of digging soil, so she could only desperately transport soil back and forth. Even so, it still could not keep up with the speed of digging soil, and now there was a small mountain of soil piled up at the exit of the underground city.
Those who were digging the soil were all evolved soldiers. Their speed was comparable to that of an excavator, and they could dig out a large pile of soil in the blink of an eye.
Qiao Wan chatted with Xia Xiaoman for a few words before she was urged to move soil. Xia Xiaoman did the same, putting on a diving suit and starting to work.
Xia Xiaoman took on the role of two people, filled two spaces with soil, and followed Qiao Wan into the passage. There were several safety ropes in the passage. After entering the passage, Qiao Wan buckled the safety rope around her waist, then pressed the roller button next to it, and the safety rope slowly pulled up, and Qiao Wan was pulled to the surface of the water.
Xia Xiaoman also imitated Qiao Wan's actions, buckled the safety rope around herself, and pressed the roller button. After a while, she felt her waist tighten and her whole body was pulled up.
After passing through the dark passage and reaching the bottom of the water, Xia Xiaoman looked around. The terrain around the bottom of the water was completely different from the terrain she saw last time. The small bulge above the underground city had disappeared, and the Xinfu City No. 2 next door was also gone.
After surfacing, Xia Xiaoman realized how terrifying this landslide was.
There were many hills and mountains that were exposed above the water, but now they are all gone. Of the mountain where the mutants lived, only a small tip is now exposed above the water.
If the land was not flooded and they were not in the underground city, when the land subsidence occurred, it would be like they were falling from a building hundreds of meters high, with no possibility of survival.
Xia Xiaoman withdrew his gaze, placed the soil in the space at the designated position, then re-fastened the safety rope and pressed the roller button to return to the dungeon.
Although there was a safety rope to help Xia Xiaoman and the others float to the surface, so they didn't have to spend energy swimming, but going back and forth in the water like this was really tiring.
Moreover, the temperature dropped as the sun set, and the water became even colder. After a few trips back and forth, Xia Xiaoman felt cold hands and feet. It was not so easy to earn these 20 kilograms of meat.
Xia Xiaoman was busy until ten o'clock in the evening when she stopped working and took Maodan and Nini home.
When I got home, I just saw Wen Xu being taken away by several soldiers.
When Wen Xu saw Xia Xiaoman, he immediately shouted for help, "Sister Xiaoman, save me! They want to take me away and shoot me, save me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, one of the soldiers slapped him on the back of the head, "Be honest and stop talking nonsense! You are not qualified to be shot, we are taking you to labor camp!"
