Chapter 78: A thorn in the side



For Chen Xu and the others, these threats could be put aside in this shelter. What they were most concerned about now was the people who stayed behind.

At first, I didn't think it was a big deal. But as time went on, these people were reluctant to show up, which was a big problem.

The human heart is the most unpredictable. When they thought that there were other people in this shelter, and that they had not shown up for more than a month, they felt like a thorn in their back.

How many people are there in total?

Why are they hiding? What are they planning? The longer Chen Xu and his companions live here, the more suspicious they become.

The two felt even more horrified when they thought that their every move might be seen by those people.

They will not be able to rest easy unless they find these people.

Originally, after what happened last time, Chen Xu had figured it out. He initially chose to scan Yang Jinxia because she was beautiful and had a good temperament, and he wanted to develop a relationship with her that went beyond friendship in his dream.

As for whether she is scheming or not, or has a good personality, what does it matter?

Anyway, once the dream is over, this relationship will also end here, and she herself will not even know about it, and there will be no aftermath. Where can such a perfect relationship be found? If it were in reality, with his conditions, the chances of finding such a beautiful girlfriend would be slim. Moreover, generally speaking, girls with good looks will not lack suitors. To put it nicely, she is more or less a little princess-like. To put it bluntly, she is a little pretentious.

Even if he was lucky enough to catch her, he felt that he would not be able to endure it for long and they would soon break up.

And a girl who is beautiful, gentle, considerate, and empathetic. Well, it seems that I can only find her in dreams.

Yang Jinxia is a bit like that now. Not trying to please him, but at least she takes his feelings into consideration everywhere. She won't give him a cold look at every turn, nor will she be unreasonable.

He knew very well that the reason why she had such an attitude was because she was in such a special environment.

In reality, a woman like her probably wouldn't even glance at him.

He knew in his heart that if it were in the past, perhaps a few years later, he would compromise under his parents' request, find a woman he liked, marry her, live together, and have children.

However, after obtaining the virtual dream device, he was absolutely unwilling to live that kind of life.

He is an ordinary person who also longs for love, but if he needs to use a servile attitude to get it, he would rather not have it.

Now, he can get nearly ideal feelings in his dreams, so why not?

He reflected on it and realized that his previous attitude towards Luo Xiyun and Yang Jinxia was mainly because he was too deeply involved in the story and had not adjusted his mindset.

Now that his mentality had adjusted, Chen Xu still hadn't been able to take any actual action.

He felt uncomfortable when he thought of those people hiding in the dark. If those people were really peeping and really doing something to her, wouldn't that be a live broadcast?

Yang Jinxia seemed to have the same concerns. Although the two had never communicated formally, they had a tacit understanding in this regard.

"But how do we get in?" Yang Jinxia obviously knew what place Chen Xu was talking about.

Now, the entire shelter has been searched, and no one has been found hiding. The only thing left is the places they haven't been to.

The two were in the hall at the moment, and the place where they stood was carefully chosen. As long as the sound was controlled within a certain range, it would not be monitored.

The PDA-like terminal that Chen Xu got could call up the surveillance of the hall. They also knew the layout of all the surveillance through this terminal.

When the two of them were talking, they covered their mouths with their hands intentionally or unintentionally to avoid their lip movements being seen. They were as cautious as spies in a meeting.

Chen Xu whispered, "The area of ​​the control center is not very large, about 150 square meters. Even if there are people hiding in it, there won't be too many."

Yang Jinxia added, "For the past half month, I have asked 2003 to keep an eye on the control center, and S01 has never left there. In addition, I checked the data on the water supply system and found nothing abnormal."

Chen Xu frowned and said, "That is to say, in addition to people, the control room also needs to store a large amount of food and drinking water. This is unreasonable."

A group of people, even if there are only three or five of them, hiding in a 150-square-meter control center, eating and drinking inside, what are they trying to achieve?

She said, "I don't think so either. Unless there are some hidden spaces in the shelter that cannot be found even on the map of the PDA. Otherwise, S01 is lying."

"It didn't mean to tell such a lie." Chen Xu felt that S01's words were still trustworthy. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "No matter what, let's find a way to enter the control center to confirm it. If it doesn't work, we will withdraw in advance."

Yang Jinxia nodded and agreed.

She had insisted on leaving the G5232 shelter in order to get a larger living space. After coming here, although she had lost the highest authority, the equipment here was much more advanced than before.

Most of the supplies had been taken away, but there were still some scraps in the warehouse. It was not enough for a big project, but it was enough for the two of them.

During this month, the two worked together to refit the transporter, using stronger special alloy steel plates, reinforcing and widening it, and installing a small radar warning device, air filters, a small planting warehouse, and so on.

After their modification, the survivability in the wild has been greatly enhanced. We can go directly to the United Army.

Of course, this is a backup option, because the base camp of the United Army is far away, and the batteries currently used cannot reach it at all.

If we really want to leave, we must take back the energy core. Then S01 will definitely not sit idly by.

Beep—beep—

Suddenly, a long alarm sounded all around, and red lights flashed, startling the two people who were discussing in secret.

"Has S01 discovered us? Is it planning to strike first?"

Chen Xu was startled at first, but immediately calmed down. With this thought in mind, he looked at Yang Jinxia.

She was also looking towards him, not looking panicked, but seemed to be thinking, and whispered, "This seems to be an intrusion alarm."

Chen Xu said, "Let's go and take a look."
