At this moment, she matched the impression she left on him when they first met.
As she opened the lid of the teapot, a light mist rose. Suddenly, her eyes swept over him, as if sweeping across the tip of his heart, and a slight numb feeling quickly spread.
He brought the cup to his lips and pretended to drink tea so as not to lose his composure.
To be honest, he never took the initiative to contact her in the past month. On the one hand, he really thought that learning new knowledge was more important. How could picking up girls be more important than making money? On the other hand, he also felt that she was too scheming, so he subconsciously kept his distance from her.
He had seen too many examples of men being cheated by beautiful and calculating women, including himself...
When looking for a woman, it is better to find a simple one.
For example, Luo Xiyun, although she has a bad temper, she is actually a simple-minded girl. As long as you can control her, everything will be fine.
He drank the tea in the cup, put it down, and asked, "How do we get there? We don't even have a means of transportation."
"I have modified the transport vehicle. We can take enough supplies and set off again."
He knew that the shelter had a mechanical maintenance room, so it was not surprising that she could do this. However, there was a bigger problem, "Where is the battery? The power battery of that car has aged, and it is impossible to repair it with the equipment in the shelter."
This is an unsolvable problem.
In his opinion, the greatest black technology in this dream world is this super-energy battery. Its energy density is beyond imagination. Whether it is the exoskeleton arm, robot 2003, or the transport vehicle, they are all powered by this battery.
In the host's database, the introduction to this type of battery is vague, and even the basic principles are not explained.
There are only three super batteries in the entire shelter. The battery capacity of the robotic arm and 2003 is too small. Even if they are installed on a transport vehicle, the battery life problem cannot be solved.
So, there is no solution.
If there were enough super batteries, those people in the shelter would not have been killed by the green apes in one wave.
Yang Jinxia picked up the teapot, filled his cup with tea, and said, "There is another super-powered battery in the shelter, and its capacity is thousands of times that of the one in the transport vehicle."
Chen Xu immediately understood what she was talking about, and his expression suddenly became serious, "I don't agree."
There is indeed a super energy battery in the shelter. It is the energy core of the entire base. All the equipment in the shelter is powered by it.
According to the design of the shelter, there were originally a total of ten such cores, and now, there is only the last one left.
According to 2003, a year ago, there were more than a thousand people living here. However, as another energy core reached the end of its life, only one remained, which was not enough to supply the living needs of so many people.
Then, they were forced to migrate, most of them left, and only a few dozen chose to stay here.
Chen Xu knew that since she could come up with such a plan, she must have verified its feasibility, but he would never agree to it.
Once he left the shelter, he would no longer be able to study as leisurely as he did now.
Yang Jinxia frowned, as if she had not expected him to refuse so firmly, and said, "Except for food, all kinds of supplies in the shelter are in short supply. Once a piece of equipment breaks down, we won't be able to repair it. If we stay here, we will be in dire straits one day. We must get out to have a chance of survival."
Chen Xu thought about it for a while and relented, "You can leave, but you have to wait a few more months."
It has been more than a month since I entered the dream, and it will be over in more than four months. By then, it doesn’t matter where I go.
Yang Jinxia continued to persuade, "Remember what we said in 2003? The people who migrated from the shelter were taken away by the rescue army. Why did they come to pick them up at this time instead of earlier or later? In addition, the land is desertified. There must be something wrong with this area. We can't wait any longer."
Chen Xu didn't want to argue with her anymore, so he said decisively, got up and left.
Yang Jinxia looked at his leaving back, and her expression gradually became solemn.
…………
After Chen Xu left the restaurant, he walked towards his room, temporarily putting aside what had just happened.
After entering society, the first thing he learned was that he must know himself clearly.
Many times, you should not be too considerate of other people's feelings when doing things. Otherwise, you will be restricted in doing things and be controlled by others. If you can't get things done, you will also feel humiliated.
Especially when it comes to their own interests, if you are soft-hearted, others will stab you without mercy. As a result, you will lose miserably, and others will laugh at your incompetence behind your back.
If you can't even take care of yourself, how can you take care of other people's interests? If you can't even figure this out, you deserve the bad luck.
In this matter, the most important thing for him is to learn the knowledge in the host. Only by staying here can he have such a learning environment.
If he leaves, his energy will be scattered to other trivial matters and he will no longer be able to calm down.
Therefore, he must stand firm in his position. No matter what Yang Jinxia said, he would not waver.
This was just a dream, he knew it clearly.
After Chen Xu returned to the room, he lay down on the bed. He was really tired. He set the alarm for an hour and soon fell asleep.
…………
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Xu woke up.
Why didn't the alarm go off? He felt a little strange, as he felt like he had slept for a long time, definitely more than an hour.
Immediately, he noticed a bigger abnormality: the light was not on.
The rooms in the shelter are highly intelligent, and the lights are automatically sensed. When he lies down on the bed and closes his eyes, the lights will automatically turn off, and when he wakes up, they will automatically turn on.
However, he had opened his eyes for several seconds and everything in front of him was still pitch black.
"Could it be——"
After a few more seconds, an idea flashed through his mind like lightning. He sat up suddenly, pounded the bed, and said angrily, "How dare she?"
He was extremely angry. He walked to the wall in the dark, put on his exoskeleton arm, turned on the light on his chest, forced open the closed door, and walked out.
Along the way, he removed the doors of all the passages. Without power supply, the doors could no longer open on their own and could only be opened by force.
Soon, he arrived at the mechanical maintenance room and shouted angrily, "Xia Jinse!"
