This was Lu Yuan's first time in the quarantine area. As soon as he entered, he felt as if the air conditioning in the car had suddenly stopped working.
The temperature inside the car was extremely high, scorching everyone in the carriage. Everyone could clearly feel that the air blowing out of the air conditioner had instantly turned into hot air.
Then the temperature inside the car rose sharply. Lu Yuan could see it clearly on his watch; the temperature inside the car had already reached about fifty degrees Celsius when he entered.
"Damn, it's so hot."
Lu Yuan tried to unzip his clothes, but Anna, who was standing next to him, was stumped. She shook her head at Lu Yuan.
"Don't open it, the car is full of radiation."
Lu Yuan could clearly see through Anna's transparent mask that her hair was now sticking out in clumps from the heat.
"Okay, it's really too hot here."
Lu Yuan used his clothes to scoop up the stones a couple of times to let the heat dissipate, but he didn't expect that the moment he shook them off, he would feel a gush of water running down his neck—it was his own sweat.
Almost everyone on the vehicle shared the same feeling as him: a force of tens of thousands of people marched through the desert, with thousands of vehicles stretching for tens of kilometers.
The car sped along, moving like ants carrying food, continuing its journey through the desert.
After about two hours of driving, the temperature inside the car finally dropped.
A sandstorm was blowing outside. The sandstorm covered a huge area. Through the car's headlights, Lu Yuan could see a giant tornado rising from the ground in the distance. This sandstorm had created a huge tornado in the desert, and the diameter of the tornado was frighteningly large.
As the convoy passed through the tornado, it looked like a bunch of ants. Lu Yuan was really worried that the tornado would suck their convoy in.
Fortunately, Qiao Lin's notification sound kept coming from inside the car.
"Don't worry, everyone. Judging from the current speed and path of the sandstorm, we are not in any immediate danger. Everyone, speed up and get through the sandstorm zone as quickly as possible!"
The car continued to move forward, and the temperature inside dropped significantly. Lu Yuan felt his feet and buttocks were wet with his sweat, which had soaked his clothes. The other passengers were in the same situation, and everyone was fidgeting and shifting their buttocks restlessly.
After an unknown amount of time, the car continued to move forward. Everyone was drowsy and asleep in the car, while the driver kept pinching his thigh to keep himself awake.
After driving for more than ten hours straight, with two different drivers, we finally arrived at our destination.
Upon arriving at his destination, Lu Yuan saw a place in the distance that looked like a castle built of sand dunes.
Then they heard Qiao Lin shouting outside, so everyone got out of the car.
The first thing everyone did after getting off was to turn on their radiation suits.
The radiation levels in this area have decreased significantly, and many glass-like objects were placed in the area they passed through. These mirrors absorb the radiation particles and redirect the rays back into the sky, so the area is safe for now.
Lu Yuan and Anna got out of the car and took off their clothes, only to find that they were already soaked.
Lu Yuan pinched the fabric of his pants and felt as if he had wet himself.
Anna and Lu Yuan burst into laughter.
Then everyone drove the car to an underground parking lot in the distance, and Qiao Lin pointed to the entrance of a desert city in the distance and said.
Welcome to our survivor shelter!
Everyone carried their luggage and looked on with curiosity at the situation in the distance.
Although the temperature here is very low at night, it doesn't feel very cold when I just got out of the car.
So Qiao Lin picked up the phone and dialed a number, and instantly the two huge stone doors in the distance slowly opened.
This stone gate is about 100 meters high and about 30 meters wide. Such a huge gate is something that no one has ever seen before.
"Each of these two stone doors weighs five hundred tons and it took two months to erect them. They were transported from a very far place and then opened mechanically. They have never been opened before. This place is very safe; it's called the Underground City, and it's safe enough to guarantee our safety!"
Qiao Lin led the group, explaining as they walked, and everyone followed him down the path.
There were solar-powered lights illuminating both sides of the road. Everyone kept walking forward. The tunnel was very wide, about two hundred meters wide, like a huge natural cave.
"Did you build all of this place yourselves?"
Lu Yuan reached out and touched the marks on the wall, which were still visible from various man-made tools, and asked a question.
Qiao Lin nodded slightly: "The entrance wasn't originally that big, but we carved it out shovel by shovel for our survival."
We detected this location using a detector. It used to be an underground river, but later these underground rivers flowed to other places due to crustal movement.
Later, we made this place our home. It's a vast area, large enough to house a million people! Of course, we currently have fewer than 100,000 people, but with you all, we now have 200,000!
Lu Yuan nodded slightly and followed the other person down to the underground.
This was the smallest human survival point Lu Yuan had ever experienced from beginning to end.
The tunnel was very long and very winding, and the temperature dropped as you went down.
Many people had brought several layers of clothing with them. When they were halfway there, Qiao Lin instructed everyone to put on their cotton-padded coats, because the temperature inside had already dropped to around minus thirty degrees Celsius.
After changing their clothes, everyone continued walking downhill. When they finally passed a wheat field that had been manually cleared, Lu Yuan showed a look of astonishment.
"Did you carve this out by yourselves?"
Looking at the neat wheat field in the distance, Lu Yuan's face showed a hint of shock.
"Yes, so many of us depend on this land for our livelihood. The land here isn't very big! It's the last place we have left to survive!"
After he finished speaking, Lu Yuan saw several soldiers dressed as soldiers approaching from a distance, carrying guns. They instructed everyone not to approach the wheat field, which showed how much they valued this wheat field and even sent a large number of soldiers to guard it.
