Chapter 101 Exploring the Northwest Area
The 462nd day of doomsday.
Qiao Qiao arrived at the entrance to the inner city area of the northwest district.
Qiao Xinghe and Qiao Huizhou had been waiting at the city gate. When they saw the familiar silhouette of the house, they quickly greeted, "Qiao Qiao!"
The moment Qiao Qiao saw her parents, her eyes were red. She got out of the car and threw herself into their arms, "Mom, Dad."
"I'm glad you arrived safely. Let mom see it soon." Qiao Huizhou choked up a little. Seeing his daughter's blonde hair, green eyes, and long and thin ears, although he had known about her through correspondence, he was still worried and relieved when he saw her with his own eyes.
Qiao Xinghe was worried, "Are there any side effects of elf blood?"
Qiao Qiao shook her head gently. "Nothing has been found so far. Now I can only trust the system. Besides, if it wants to harm me, why would it go through so much trouble? Wouldn't it be enough to just cancel my card drawing qualification?"
"As long as you're fine, nothing else matters." Seeing that his daughter was in a good mood, Qiao Huizhou instructed Yueying to pack up the RV, and the few of them walked and talked.
Qiao Qiao looked around. The inner city and the central city were separated by a thousand-year-old city wall that has been preserved to this day. For ease of management, only the largest city gate in the middle was open. There were special people checking at the gate, and only people with passes could enter.
Qiao Qiao held Xiao Qiao, who was wrapped around Qiao Man, in one hand, and held Qiao Huizhou with the other.
"Ms. Qiao, Mr. Qiao." As they approached the city gate, all the serious staff immediately greeted them respectfully and looked at Qiao Qiao and Yue Ying with curiosity, "Who is this?"
Qiao Xinghe explained with a smile, "This is my daughter. She just got here with the Northeast District Migration Team."
"Ah, so it's your daughter. No wonder she looks so extraordinary." The staff member looked at the badge Qiao Qiao was about to hand over and waved his hand, "Since she is your family member, there is no need to check. Please come in."
Qiao Qiao raised an eyebrow. She originally thought that Yueying would have to explain why she didn't have the badge, but she didn't expect her to come in so easily. It seemed that the inspection on the other side was very strict.
Thinking of this, Qiao Qiao asked the question in her heart.
Qiao Huizhou smiled and flicked her head, "Do you think your father and I came here early so that we can enjoy a leisurely life every day?"
Qiao Qiao's eyes were full of confusion. "What else? Didn't I hear what you said?"
Qiao Xinghe smiled and said, "I just want to give you a surprise."
Qiao Qiao hugged her mother's arm and acted coquettishly, "What is it? What did you do to make them so respectful?"
Qiao Huizhou did not give a direct answer, with an unfathomable look on his face, "Don't worry, you will know in a moment."
"Stingy."
Qiao Qiao looked around. The inner city area covered a large area. Most of them were old courtyards. Later, they were renovated for tourism and had all the modern functions. Now they were benefiting the dignitaries.
The few tall buildings have become the territories of various forces.
Qiao Huizhou walked over and explained, "The federal structure of the Northwest region is similar to that of the Northeast region, except that there is now an additional research institute."
Qiao Qiao was puzzled, "Research Institute?"
"I'm sure you're also curious about why so many buildings in the Midtown area survived the earthquake. This is because during the rainstorm, the research institute obtained an R-level card house reinforcement device. After the country's top scientists worked day and night to study it, they finally cracked its principle. Although it is not as powerful as the system's products, it can also withstand earthquakes."
Qiao Huizhou's words shocked Qiao Qiao. Scientists actually figured out the principle of the cards so quickly. Sure enough, there is no shortage of geniuses in this world.
"Don't be too happy too soon. Although it is possible to manufacture house reinforcements, the difficulty and cost are too great. Even the Federation can only protect the inner city and part of the midtown area."
Qiao Qiao doesn't think so. "Everything is difficult at the beginning, but as long as you take the first step, things will always develop in a good direction."
She began to think about which cards she had that could be traded.
“Ding ding!”
My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a car horn.
Qiao Qiao looked back and saw a brand new sports car driving recklessly on the road. The crowd could only curse in a low voice when they saw the license plate.
Qiao Qiao looked at her parents, "What is this?"
"Humph." Qiao Xinghe snorted coldly, "The eldest son of the capital district, his father is the richest man. After getting the news, he cashed in a lot of assets, bought mineral resources all over the country, and raised a large number of card drawers with internal testing systems. After the apocalypse, he has a close relationship with the chairman of the capital district council. Now he has money and power in his hands, and has a very high voice."
Sure enough, no matter what time, the termites will never disappear.
Qiao Qiao shook her head and continued to listen to Qiao Huizhou's analysis.
"We don't know the specific research projects of the institute. Since you have a military rank, you can go and take a look after a while. Maybe you are qualified to learn about it. We have a lot of idle cards in our hands. You can also trade or donate some for their research."
Qiao Huizhou's words coincided with Qiao Qiao's thoughts, "Okay."
When Qiao Qiao had a general idea of the current situation in the Northwest District, they came to a seven-story building.
Qiao Qiao looked at her parents, "What is this?"
Qiao Huizhou looked mysterious, "Aren't you curious about why those people are so respectful to me and your father? The answer is right inside."
Just as Qiao Qiao was about to enter, a young girl in a white coat and a ponytail rushed out.
"Teacher Qiao, there is a problem with the experimental field again."
Qiao Huizhou and Qiao Xinghe looked at each other and walked forward quickly, "What happened?"
The girl quickly followed up, "The soil pollution data of Experimental Field No. 7 has risen again, and all the seedlings have died."
Qiao Qiao followed behind. The first floor was almost entirely sealed laboratories, and the heavy doors blocked out all sound.
She followed her parents to the third floor. The girl entered the password and the door opened. A group of people gathered in front of the laboratory. When they heard the sound, they hurried over.
The laboratory was divided into two parts. Inside the glass was the experimental field, which was divided into independent areas. It was full of soil and various plants, most of which she didn't recognize. Outside the glass was the research site, where several huge screens occupied half of the area.
The gray-haired old professor pulled Qiao Huizhou forward and said, "Huizhou, Xinghe, come and take a look. Number 7 was fine just now, but the value suddenly became wrong."
Qiao Huizhou and Qiao Xinghe put on their white coats and walked in.
