Chapter 275
The train speeds up and does not stop at intermediate stations. Sitting in the seat, you can hardly feel any vibration.
Soon, the train rushed out of the winding underground tunnel and ran across the wilderness.
Almost in an instant, the scenery outside changed.
The train windows went from dark to bright, and apart from the rails where the train was speeding past, there was almost no visible man-made object outside.
Qi Xi leaned on the window and looked out curiously.
The train's railway plan is not a straight line. The well-connected tracks are laid in all directions with Gathering Place No. 2 as the center, connecting places scattered in the wilderness.
The Dawn Station in the underground city is just one of the stations.
And because it is located hundreds of meters underground, it needs to be long enough to build it with just the right slope.
Therefore, in terms of construction, although Shuguang Station is not far from District 49 in terms of straight-line distance, the exit of the underground tunnel is very far away.
After exiting the tunnel, because Qi Heng had A0 plan the route in advance and there were no stations that needed to be stopped at, the train went straight to the station outside Area 49 without stopping.
During this period, the train passed through many areas that were still under construction.
These areas include smelting areas, ground planting areas, and other areas that are assigned different functions, most of which are still under construction.
Qi Xi looked at the scenery passing by with a little curiosity. These were somewhat different from what he saw on the aircraft. While watching, he also got a better understanding of the environment in which he was living.
Suddenly, Qi Xi saw a familiar building and pulled his sleeve.
"Father Xiong, look at the central hall..."
The scenery outside the car window flashed by, and before Qi Xi could finish a word, it was already left behind.
“Ah, I can’t see it.”
Qi Xi asked him, "Father Xiong, can we go to the central hall by car?"
"Can."
"Then I can go find my brother." Qi Xi was a little happy, because this way he could go find Brother Lan to play.
"If you want, no problem."
Taking the train is very easy, even if Qi Xi takes it alone.
What's more, when the train is officially put into operation, there will be attendants on board, so it will not be a problem to take care of the cubs traveling alone.
The station near District 49 is built 4.5 kilometers outside District 49. After getting off the train, walk down the stairs on one side of the platform. There is a subway on the next floor that runs underground in the gathering area.
Unlike the trains on the ground, the underground subway only runs within Gathering No. 2. If the Zerg in the gathering place want to go outside areas 1 to 49 of Gathering No. 2, they need to transfer to the ground train.
For Qi Xi, all this was new.
Along the way, he forgot to stick to Chu Xiu and him, and just looked around.
Qi Heng was happy about this and wished Qi Xi's attention would not be on them.
Area 49, underground platform.
Qi Xi jumped onto the platform and looked at them excitedly, who were a few steps behind. "Father Xiong, where are we going next?"
"Follow the signs, go up the stairs, and you'll be there."
He pointed to a sign on the side.
"Do you understand?"
Qi Xi was proud, "Of course, I know a lot of words——"
After saying that, he didn't wait for them, but ran out in two steps. When he jumped onto the stairs, he didn't forget to turn around and wave to them.
The subway that connects to trains from other areas is not too deep underground. You only need to climb one flight of stairs to reach the ground exit. It is more suitable for use as an intra-district subway than the underground tunnel that has become a backup.
Compared to the carefree Qi Heng, Chu Xiu obviously cares more about Qi Xi.
Seeing Qi Xi's carefree look, Chu Xiu couldn't help but say, "Slow down, watch your step."
"Don't worry, father-in-law, I'm very powerful."
Go up the stairs to the end and you will reach the ground floor.
The outer part has not been completed yet, and the isolation belt is still in place. The houses around here that were originally inhabited by female insects have been vacated, and all that remains is to be demolished and rebuilt.
Because it will not affect the operation of underground trains, construction has not started in a hurry.
Due to limited manpower, the construction team has been overwhelmed with orders and can only arrange them in order of importance.
This was Qi Xi's first time in District 49. Before this, he had only heard some things from them and Yan Le.
He only knew that it was a place with a bad environment.
However, for a cub, it is a little difficult to understand exactly what the bad environment that Qi Heng and the others are talking about is.
Qi Xi stood at the subway entrance, turned around and shouted at them who were still walking up the stairs.
"Father, hurry up."
At least they know not to run around when their parents are not around, which is pretty good.
It doesn’t matter even if he runs around, the surveillance cameras are installed in all the necessary places, leaving absolutely no blind spots.
It's still very difficult to get lost here.
"Hasn't it been put into use yet?" Chu Xiu raised his hand and lifted up the warning isolation tape, which had more symbolic significance than practical use, and casually blocked the entrance with a long strip.
"Thanks."
Qi Heng bent down to pass through, and took the hand of Qi Xi, who was not even as tall as the isolation belt and passed through directly.
"It is expected to take about half a month."
Lan Yi was primarily responsible for the infrastructure plan for Settlement No. 2. Chu Xiu only knew a little about it, but was not clear about the details.
Their presence attracted little attention.
The residents around the subway entrance have all been relocated, and after being reminded, no one will come here for no reason.
"This place is still some distance from Yan Ning's home. I'll show you the way so you can remember it next time you come."
Hearing his words, Chu Xiu looked at him with some confusion.
Qi Heng didn't explain and continued, "It doesn't matter if you don't remember. Ghost has road navigation."
"I want to remember it too." Qi Xi shook his hand.
He simply replied, "Okay."
Qi Xi extended his other hand to Chu Xiu, and after Chu Xiu took it, he said, "Father, this place is different from other places."
"I've never seen so many houses. They're different from ours and my brother's."
After Qi Xi hatched, he and Qi Lan lived beneath the dead egg pit, where the remaining buildings dated back ten thousand years. Later, Chu Xiu arrived, and they lived in the underground space excavated by the original Zerg.
Now we live in a planned underground city.
Inside the gathering place, there was another scene.
“These houses are so short.”
Compared to Qi Xi's childish curiosity, Chu Xiu, who was paying attention to the environment, looked more carefully and thought more.
Chu Xiu had seen some pictures taken in the gathering place, but to be honest, he was even more shocked when he saw it.
"The resources within the settlement are limited. As long as it doesn't affect the original demands of the Ikal civilization that controls Tianyun Star, they have only one request for the Tianjia Zerg."
"Just be alive."
Of course, Qi Heng didn't say this to Qi Xi.
"I really didn't expect that..." Chu Xiu looked a little depressed. He opened his mouth but didn't say anything.
What didn’t you expect?
Everything in my mind that I remembered from ten thousand years ago is still so familiar, but what I see before my eyes is completely different, and I can't even find a trace of familiarity.
Ten thousand years have passed, and everything is different.
How long will it take to rebuild on the ruins that we see before us?
Thinking of this, Chu Xiu felt a little relieved, relieved that the Tianjia civilization was at least not completely destroyed.
The Tianjia Zerg are still there, so as long as there is enough time, they will be able to pick themselves up and restore the glory of their past civilization.
