Chapter 62: First Entering the Shelter (2)
The two of them were wearing protective clothing and were taken to the bottom floor of the shelter. Qin Muxue was a little surprised as to when this isolation area was at the bottom floor.
The bottom floor of the shelter should be where the most powerful people in the entire shelter live, and the safety factor here is the highest.
Generally, the isolation area is at the top. Although Qin Muxue was confused, everything is different from the previous life now, so it is better to be more careful.
Qin Muxue looked at the tall, silent guide in front of her. No matter how she asked, he did not speak. He just pressed the elevator for them and motioned for them to follow him.
After arriving at the bottom floor, the level of luxury here is simply unimaginable. You have to know that this is the end of the world, and living in such a place is like living in a five-star luxury hotel.
Ding Manman looked around and whispered in Qin Muxue's ear: "Xiaoxue, did they go to another place? Why did they bring us here?"
The tall man led them into a fairly luxurious room. The room was fully equipped, just like a hotel. After leading them in, the man left.
"Xiaoxue, are the conditions in the shelter so good?"
“It’s a bit strange indeed.”
Ding Manman looked at the supplies here, all of which were high-end supplies. There were also a lot of mineral water on the table. You know, water is distributed by quantity, and it is especially precious at this time. Qin Muxue took a look and found that it was actually a high-end foreign brand, which usually costs more than ten yuan a bottle, but it was just mineral water. She thought it was expensive before.
Qin Muxue picked up the mineral water, took a few sips, and found that it was no different from ordinary water. If she had to say which one tasted better, her own spiritual spring water was still better.
"And there's a big bathtub here!" Isn't it strange to have a bathtub in a place like this?
Before I had time to think about it, someone soon brought the food. It was exquisite Western food, steak, pasta and cream of mushroom soup. "This is your dinner. Put it at the door after you finish eating. We will take it away when you deliver food next time." After saying that, the person who delivered the food left.
Looking at the tempting steak, Qin Muxue couldn't believe that this was the treatment in the shelter.
Then she put down her backpack and began to check various secret places. Ding Manman looked at her actions and asked, "Xiaoxue, what are you doing?"
Qin Muxue jumped onto the bed and checked every corner. After not finding anything unusual, she breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm afraid there are surveillance cameras here, so it's better to check it out."
Even if they didn't detect any surveillance, they still had to be careful.
Ding Manman couldn't help but ask, "Are all the meals in this shelter so good?"
But after taking a bite, she found that the cooking was not as good as her own and could only be considered barely eatable. Come to think of it, it is not possible to have such good conditions to eat high-quality steak nowadays.
But Ding Manman didn't know that this was the highest quality steak here. Because she often ate better quality steaks with Qin Muxue, her taste buds had become picky, and the ones here certainly couldn't please her.
After barely eating her fill, Qin Muxue lay on the bed. The bed here was quite comfortable, and the shelter was underground, so the temperature here was not low. It was the best temperature for people to live in, so there was no need to wear so many clothes. There was also a bookshelf in the corner with various books.
Qin Muxue did not have such good treatment when she was quarantined in her previous life. That place was dark and there was no light at all. It was also very narrow. Several people lived together in the same place, and the environment was not that good. Not to mention the food. There were only some rotten beans to fill their stomachs. Compressed biscuits and bread were considered luxuries. There was also a strange smell in the room. The people in the quarantine room were of different types and had their own ulterior motives.
Even so, it was already very difficult to enter the shelter. Unlike now, their biggest purpose of coming here is to find someone.
I don't know how Captain Huang and the others are doing. She will know after she survives these seven days.
Fortunately, they were not separated. There were many things for them to do together with Ding Manman. There were playing cards in the drawer. They could play cards, chat, read books, and play checkers. It was not so uncomfortable.
Qin Muxue rummaged through the drawers here and even found a radio. After turning it on, she could hear the shelter's channel, which was playing the popular music.
Ding Manman felt a little sleepy. She yawned and said, "Xiaoxue, I'm sleepy. I'll take a rest first." She was a sleepy person to begin with, and as soon as her head touched the pillow, she fell into a sound sleep.
Qin Muxue looked at the windows here. They were not real windows but some simulated stickers. They could not be opened at all. However, this was normal. After all, this was underground. Even if it could be opened, all you could see was dirt.
Then she lay down on the bed, but did not fall asleep. Her consciousness came to the space breeding area.
Although the temperature here is constant and it seems like spring all year round, Qin Muxue still wants to prepare a place for Baozhu and Zhenzhu to sleep.
As soon as Baozhu saw Qin Muxue, she began to wag her tail frantically, as if complaining to her, "Why didn't you come to see me earlier?"
Qin Muxue touched his head and said, "It's just been a while since we last met, do you miss me so much?"
Looking at the endless grassland, a family of wild boars were gnawing on pumpkins in the fence next to them, while rabbits were running happily on the grass. There was also a large water tank with a few fish next to it. It looked very natural and harmonious.
Pearl was lying peacefully on the haystack. She was very satisfied with the environment here. She would sleep after eating and play with the other dogs when she woke up. She was so happy.
Qin Muxue checked Ah Huang's leg injury and found that it had scabbed over and should be completely healed after some time.
A group of puppies gathered around her legs, their tails sticking up like antennas. "Okay, okay, I'm going to feed you!"
Ah Huang's milk could no longer satisfy the puppies, so Qin Muxue poured some puppy food into goat milk powder and opened a can of beef for Ah Huang, adding some carrots and broccoli. Cats may not eat vegetables, but dogs still need to consume some vegetables. Ah Huang was not picky about food and ate very happily.
Baozhu’s favorite is canned venison. Qin Muxue opened a can of venison for her and also added some vegetables.
This time, Pearl was fed freeze-dried cat food, which was a mixture of freeze-dried salmon, chicken and duck meat. Pearl has always been a picky eater, but this time she didn't refuse.
The after-meal snack was some small cakes for cats and dogs that Qin Muxue found from the storage area.
Qin Muxue looked at the time. It took her half an hour just to feed them. She originally wanted to prepare dog kennels and cat beds for them respectively, but then she remembered that when she left Taoyuan Village, she moved Manman's home into the space for convenience, and it was now in the storage area.
She found a vacant space in the breeding area and tried to move the house over with her consciousness. After opening her eyes, the house had indeed moved in front of her.
"It really works!" Qin Muxue shouted in surprise, "Baozhu Zhenzhu and Ah Huang, come and have a look!"
All the dogs and cats came over. Pearl and Baozhu had lived in this house before, so they were familiar with everything here. Besides, there was a special pet room with various toys for cats and dogs, as well as a cat climbing frame. Pearl ran in excitedly, jumped onto the cat climbing frame, licked her fur, and looked down at her territory.
Baozhu likes to stay on the carpet in the living room the most. Qin Muxue looks at everything here that makes her nostalgic. "If we find a place to settle down in the future, we can still live in this house."
The decoration and furniture here were all selected by myself, and are full of many good memories.
"Baozhu and Zhenzhu, you can live at home again from now on. We can't let you out for now, so you should stay here for a while!"
Baozhu nodded, as if she understood what Qin Muxue meant, but she still couldn't bear to let her leave, and leaned beside her reluctantly.
"The temperature here is suitable, and you won't have to worry about food and drink. You can stay here for a while. It's much more comfortable than the shelter." She still doesn't understand the specific situation of the shelter, so she'd better let them go after she has fully understood it.
"As for Ah Huang, you can walk around the house as you like, but you must keep an eye on your pups and don't let them make trouble!"
Ah Huang stuck out his tongue, stared at Qin Muxue with his black eyes, and wagged his tail enthusiastically.
When I saw him before, he was still skinny. After a few days of treatment and nourishment, he is now much better than before. I believe that he will become a beautiful golden retriever in the future.
Qin Muxue put up some fences around the house to prevent wild boars and rabbits from running in. Her idea was to raise more animals in the breeding area in the future, provided that more animals could be found.
The stockpiled food will be consumed sooner or later, so the most important thing is to be able to produce it yourself.
Now the trees in the planting area have grown a lot. Next to the spiritual spring, she suddenly found something like a clock, which seemed to represent the time in each area.
The name of each area is written below the clock. The time in the storage area is still, so the clock is still. The clock in the planting area is running fast, so the plants are growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. The time in the breeding area is consistent with the real time, which means that the growth rate of animals is the same as that in the outside world.
This was exactly the arrangement Qin Muxue had imagined. If one wanted to speed up the time in the breeding area, the clock could also be accelerated, but the life of animals was inherently short, especially for the cats and dogs that still lived in there. The best arrangement was to have the same time as the outside world.
Thinking of this, the rice in the planting area seemed to be ripe again. Qin Muxue had no time to harvest it now. She had been in the space for almost 90 minutes and was about to be transmitted out. She simply let the time in the planting area stop for a while so that the rice would not rot in the ground.
Because she is the only one taking care of the rice fields at the moment, she doesn't plant much rice. If there were too much, she is afraid that she would not be able to handle it.
After removing some weeds from the ground, Qin Muxue left the space contentedly.
After working in the space for a long time, she felt a little tired and soon fell asleep...
In her dream, she dreamed of the scene in her previous life, when she was with Baozhu. Baozhu was very smart and could find a lot of useful supplies through smells. Therefore, the shelter specially approved Baozhu, a pet, to live here and enjoy supplies like humans. Some people began to feel jealous. At that time, they were bullied by their team. They dreamed of Baozhu being captured, and then they dreamed of Shi Yan dying in her arms. For a while, they fell into a nightmare cycle.
She suddenly opened her eyes, looked at the ceiling, and thought that everything in the dream was over. She took a deep breath and sighed, her body already covered in sweat.
Maybe this place is really depressing, which is why she had such a nightmare.
After waking up, thinking that Yan Xu and Sang Xi would never appear again, and the guy who killed Baozhu had been eliminated by her, Shi Yan even killed the person who bullied him in the previous life.
But there were far more than just those few people in the team, there were several others who also ate Baozhu's flesh and participated in bullying them, and although some of them appeared on the previous death list, there were still a few people she had not met yet.
If she met those people again in the shelter, she would definitely try her best to get rid of them. Qin Muxue couldn't help but narrow her eyes.
There was a knock on the door, interrupting her thoughts. The person who delivered the meal yesterday said, "Breakfast is here. I took away the plates from yesterday."
"Okay." After the footsteps faded away, Qin Muxue opened the door a crack. The door had been locked from the outside, and the size was just enough for her to bring in breakfast, as if... she was afraid that they would run away?
I don’t know what happened to Qu Yanbai, Shi Yan, Wu You and others, and whether they had the same experience as them.
There were a few meat buns and some soy milk with meat for breakfast. At this time, Ding Manman rubbed her eyes and woke up.
"It's so strange. I've been having strange dreams all the time. I can't even tell reality from dreams." Manman also looked sleepy. She rubbed her eyes and saw the buns in Qin Muxue's hand. "It's so strange. This is my favorite breakfast."
Meat buns with soy milk are her standard breakfast. She used to buy them at the school gate often. The buns are relatively cheap. She was financially tight in the past, so sometimes she would even buy a few extra for lunch, which saved money and satisfied her hunger.
After washing up and having breakfast, they each took a book and started reading.
Speaking of which, after being so used to living outside, Qin Muxue was a little uncomfortable with suddenly having so much free time in the shelter, but they could only maintain this state in this place.
She didn't check any cameras, but she had a feeling that someone was definitely watching them.
At this time, Lei Yangzhou was observing the two people's every move in the room. There was nothing unusual. They were reading, playing games, and chatting. The topics they talked about were all ordinary.
He instructed one of his women, "Observe their actions carefully and report to me immediately if anything unusual is found."
Finally, after the 7-day quarantine period, their test results came out and there were no problems.
During this time, Ding Manman even gained some fat on her face. "The food in the shelter is better, and there's nothing to do, so I got fat."
The two of them changed into the disinfected clothes they had brought with them and walked out of the room. Lei Yangzhou was already waiting for them to appear. He said with a half-smile, "Manman, we finally meet."
Ding Manman was sure that she had never seen this man. He exuded a strong sense of hostility, with clear outlines and delicate features, like a man in Greek mythology, but she was sure that she did not know such a man.
"Manman, I have prepared a great gift for you. I have been waiting to see you today."
Ding Manman hid behind Qin Muxue and whispered, "This man is really weird. I'm not familiar with him at all."
Qin Muxue asked directly, "We are here to look for Captain Huang and his group who saved us. Sir, since you are in the shelter, you should know Captain Huang. I don't think you are a person of low status."
"Of course I know him, but Manman, come to me and I'll tell you." Ding Manman walked out from behind Qin Muxue. Qin Muxue pulled her clothes and shook her head. This man was too strange. She was afraid that he had some improper thoughts about Manman. His eyes were very oppressive. At the same time, Qin Muxue could feel that this guy was a very powerful psychic, maybe even a legendary intermediate psychic. You know, it's only the beginning of the apocalypse, and most people have just evolved their powers. If he is an intermediate psychic, then his evolution speed is really terrible, or maybe he used a lot of crystal cores...
Qin Muxue didn't know this, but she could strongly feel that this man was extraordinary.
Ding Manman pretended to swallow her saliva, "It's okay, Xiaoxue, we need to find Captain Huang and the others..." She stood beside him and looked up at the man in front of her, "Sir, can you tell us the whereabouts of Captain Huang and the others?"
Lei Yangzhou smiled and said, "Before that, won't you introduce yourselves first?"
Ding Manman forced a smile and said, "My name is Ding Manman, and this is my good friend Qin Muxue."
"Hello, my name is Lei Yangzhou."
Ding Manman's pupils immediately dilated when she heard the man's name. She knew the name of this guy. Wasn't he the idiot that her uncle and aunt wanted her to marry? But why would the idiot stand here in a suit and talk to her, staring at her with such a straight look?
"Does my name sound familiar to you, Ding Manman?"
At this time, Qin Muxue also reacted. Wasn't he the fool that Ding Manman married in her previous life, who said that his IQ recovered after the wedding, and then abandoned Manman and turned to look for the man who was her white moonlight?
She pulled Manman to her side. If she had the strength now, she would definitely cut such a scumbag into pieces.
He was obviously a fool, but now he has recovered his IQ and has such a strong mental power. Now he even wants to pester Manman. Qin Muxue has a natural aversion to him.
Ding Manman knew nothing about her previous life, and her only impression was that this man must be a fool.
Lei Yangzhou looked at the two people and ordered the people around him, "Call them over!"
At this time, a middle-aged couple came over, followed by a chubby boy. When they saw Ding Manman, they greeted her enthusiastically, "My Manman, you are alive and well, so great! Do you know how worried we were about you?"
Ding Manman was shocked as if by a bolt from the blue. She had clearly gotten rid of her uncle and aunt, and they had clearly died in the tsunami, so why were they here?
For a moment, she was holding Qin Muxue's hand more and more nervously. Qin Muxue seemed to notice her abnormality and stood in front of her, stopping Uncle Manman and Aunt Manman from approaching. "What do you want to do?"
"It's Xiaoxue, you misunderstood before. It was our fault for not explaining all this to you. But we are really sincere to Manman, otherwise how could we have raised her to this age." My aunt showed an embarrassed expression. She glanced at Lei Yangzhou beside her and was relieved when she saw that there was nothing wrong with his expression.
My uncle also said quickly, "Yes, you really misunderstood us about that property. We originally left it to you as a dowry and never intended to embezzle it." He smiled apologetically, "After all, you are my only niece. How could we cheat you?"
Ding Manman took several steps back. She didn't want to listen to any of their sweet words. She recalled the days she spent at her uncle's house.
Before they bought a new house, she lived in a compartment of only five square meters, which was just enough for a bed. She got up early and went to bed late every day to do housework and cook for them. Although she liked cooking, she didn't like the feeling of being oppressed.
After finally waiting until she came of age and was able to inherit her parents' estate, she thought she could finally break free from the control of her uncle and aunt, but she didn't expect that they actually used the money to buy a new house.
This was the thing that Ding Manman could not tolerate the most. He even tried to occupy all the old houses in the countryside and marry her to a fool's family who did not understand her. Fortunately, Qin Muxue fought for the old house for her and rescued her.
Now she saw that her uncle and aunt did not feel any joy at all, but instead felt fear. She was not a strong person, but now she shouted angrily: "Enough, I know what kind of people you are."
"And Mr. Lei, I didn't choose to marry you because we didn't know each other, and it's rumored that you're a man with an IQ problem. Which normal woman would be willing to marry you? You don't have to find such a way to retaliate against me and disgust me!"
At this time, Lei Yangzhou's face became more and more gloomy, "What are you talking about? I saved your family, and you dare to say that I disgust you."
Qin Muxue sneered, "Isn't it disgusting? You saved the people she hates the most and brought them right in front of her. Isn't this an eyesore?"
My uncle and aunt hurried forward to explain, "Captain Lei, that's not the case. Listen to our explanation. We have never been harsh on Manman. They are just talking nonsense."
