Chapter 71 You Have No Conscience



"After treatment, this domestic sewage can be used to irrigate vegetables and grow crops. It's recycled and easy to handle."

"This is a simple water purification pool. After the river water is pumped up through the pipes, it settles first, then passes through this filter and this simple water purifier over here, providing pure water for our shelter... Although it's not drinkable directly like mineral water, it's definitely safe to boil."

"But I suggest it would be better to wait until the spring thaws, then it would be more convenient to dig two wells."

"This is the newly built waste treatment plant. On the left is compostable household waste, and on the right is regular garbage that can't be degraded and needs to be incinerated. But these days, all the factories are closed, and even a plastic water bottle is quite valuable. It's been over a week, and we have over a thousand people in the shelter, and we still can't fill this trash can..."

Liu Gaofeng pulled at the brim ears of his dog-skin hat while chattering to everyone about the specific plan of the Xingyue University shelter.

Liu Gaofeng, a man in a dog-skin hat who was rated as a two-star gold urban planning atlas in Xia Ruanruan's atlas, had left a deep impression on Xia Ruanruan early on.

Since the illustrations confirmed the other party's level, in the absence of a better candidate, Xia Runrun naturally handed over the planning of the entire school to the other party.

Even with the help of the illustrations, Xia Ruanruan doesn't have to worry about the other party betraying her. Once this person starts to have problems, the illustrations will immediately turn gray to indicate vigilance.

In fact, Liu Gaofeng, who had already decided on Xia Runrun and wanted to hold on to her golden thigh tightly, worked very hard. He not only used all his strength to carefully measure the entire school from top to bottom, led people to run through every inch of the school, but also used drawing tools to carefully draw the floor plan and three-dimensional map of the entire school.

With two huge dark circles under his eyes, he spent three days and three nights using the materials at hand to carefully and meticulously plan the entire school.

Then command the survivors in the shelter to work together to build the entire Xingyue University.

Seeing the system score in the illustrated book on hand rising rapidly, Xia Runrun couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips slightly. She was in high spirits every day, hoping that the system score would quickly rise to the passing line so that she could grow up quickly!

——Ding Dong!

——Within the scope of the inspection base city, the water supply system (rough) capacity has been improved, and the comprehensive score of the base city has increased by 2.5.

——Congratulations to the host base city (1 star) for increasing its overall score to 57.81 points.

——(Note: A 1-star base city can accommodate up to 5,000 official residents. When the base city's comprehensive score rises to 60 points or above, the area expands to 200,000 mu (about 133,300 square kilometers), and the number of official residents exceeds 5,000 (the maximum capacity rises to 50,000), the base city can be upgraded to a 2-star. Please keep working hard!)

Following a crisp ding-dong sound from the atlas in her hand, Xia Runrun lowered her head and saw the specific conditions for upgrading the base city from 1 star to 2 stars in the atlas. Her eyes suddenly lit up and her gaze unconsciously became bright.

While Liu Gaofeng was introducing the boss, he was paying attention to the boss's expression from beginning to end. As a loyal lackey, he needed to pay attention to the boss's movements at all times, think what the boss was thinking, and help the boss solve his problems.

Seeing the plan he had worked so hard to come up with, the little boss was very satisfied, and Liu Gaofeng felt very happy.

"Do you think there are any adjustments that need to be made to our shelter?"

Xia Ruanruan raised her fluffy little head and asked enthusiastically. She was only 2.19 points away from raising the shelter's living conditions to passing standards. She was growing up quickly and wanted to improve even more. "If you need anything, just tell me. I can do it. I will actively cooperate and strive to make the school a home for everyone as soon as possible!"

The little girl spoke righteously, her eyes burning with anticipation.

His serious look of wanting to consider the entire shelter wholeheartedly immediately moved many people around him to tears, especially the elderly, the weak, women and children who had experienced difficult and harsh lives in the past three years and were often driven away and despised like animals. They were so moved that their eyes were filled with tears, and several of them secretly wiped away their tears.

Alas, there is no other leader of the shelter who cares about them as much as their little girl Xiao Xia. Not only does she organize everyone every day and patrol the surrounding university towns with mutant beasts to protect the safety of the shelter, she also collects various supplies and gives priority to taking care of the sick elderly and young children.

In addition, even ordinary people who have just joined the shelter will have people come and ask them if they need some winter food supplies on credit to help them get through the winter.

However, it is precisely because of this that everyone is more grateful, and the daily construction progress of the shelter is increasing rapidly.

Some elderly people and children were unable to follow the adults in clearing the land, chopping wood and doing heavy physical work, so they organized themselves into groups and boiled water to help the mutant dogs clean their fur. If it weren't for the large group of black and white fat men who refused to wash and ran away when they saw people taking their tools, I'm afraid even the group of pandas would have been cleaned thoroughly.

But even if the hair was not cleaned, the area where the entire panda group lived was cleaned spotlessly with brooms and rakes.

Recently, people have even started discussing building bamboo houses for the pandas. They don't need to be fancy, just have a roof and walls to keep out the wind and rain.

——Ding Dong!

——Within the scope of the testing base city, the satisfaction of 23 formal residents increased again, and the comprehensive score of the base city increased by 0.002.

Resisting the urge to look down at the illustrations, Xia Runrun tilted her head back and looked eagerly at Liu Gaofeng, waiting for his next words. Compared to the current situation where residents' satisfaction can only be increased by 0.002 points for every 10 people, Xia Runrun would rather have a big project all at once.

Liu Gaofeng scratched his head. Why did he always feel that the urgency in the little boss's eyes was full of "Hurry up and think of a problem for me to deal with!"?

But now the renovation of this shelter is good enough...

They have sewage treatment equipment, electricity and water supply, mutant beasts to protect them, and they don’t even have to live in cramped and airtight underground buildings day or night. What’s wrong with that?

"But, maybe our shelter still needs some solar generators, solar panels..." Liu Gaofeng was as cautious as a quail, stretching his neck and thinking hard about the most needed supplies in the shelter.

The shelter now uses diesel generators. Although they have collected a lot of diesel, it is difficult to regenerate it after it is used up. In addition, the sewage treatment equipment and purifiers that need to be used every day consume a lot of energy. Solar energy is more suitable.

As if to confirm what Liu Gaofeng said, the water purifier next to him rumbled, then creaked—and suddenly stopped!

——Ding Dong!

——Within the detection base city, the power supply is insufficient, and the host needs to build a new power station or power supply equipment!

Xia Ruanruan: “!!!!”

Yang Fan: "Solar power generation equipment is currently only produced in the survival base. You probably won't find any other solar power generation equipment in our city."

Old Man Yan nodded. "I did see a lot of people using solar power generation equipment in their homes when I was at the survival base with Gugu. They usually put the equipment on their windows. Those living in high-rise buildings, in particular, often use the electricity generated by the solar power generation equipment to sell to other residents living underground."

In the official survival base.

The residents are almost divided into two distinct lines. Some of them live in houses built on the ground, and live their lives just like before the natural disaster. There are densely packed high-voltage power grids protecting the survival base, and these residents don't have to worry about being attacked by birds falling from the sky. On the contrary, those residents living on the ground, except for their daily work, hardly see the sun, and the electricity they use every day needs to be purchased from the residents of high-rise buildings or the official survival base.

"Solar power generation equipment is relatively fragile and needs to be transported carefully along the way. If we want to go to the survival base, we need to bring more people."

What Yang Fan, Old Man Yan and others said was what Xia Runrun wanted to say. She listened to the conversation of the people around her and nodded seriously, touching 666's feathers from time to time. Ever since Xia Runrun identified Chu Hang as a cat demon, the little girl no longer dared to touch the white cat casually.

"Ga~~"

Being pressed and touched by the short hands, 666 bird lay comfortably with its two paws facing upwards and its belly turned up, looking lazy and comfortable, almost snoring.

"Let Xiong Baqi and the others come with us this time!" Xia Runrun waved her little paws, full of energy!

But as Xia Ruanruan finished speaking, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

The little girl subconsciously looked up: "......?"

"Little, little boss..."

After finally squeezing into the meeting room, Wu Wenhua, who was standing in the corner, tugged at Xia Ruanruan's clothes and whispered a reminder: "Black and white bears need to eat for a long time every day. Apart from the bamboo forest in the school, it's hard to find so much food on the road..."

Moreover, it takes too long for black and white bears to eat, requiring at least ten hours a day to eat, and it is difficult for them to travel long distances through mountains and rivers to reach the survival base.

Xia Ruanruan: "..."

Xia Ruanruan touched her nose and gave everyone a slightly awkward smile.

She was only thinking about the powerful fighting power of pandas and that they wouldn't have to worry about being robbed by other people or mutant animals when walking on the road. She completely forgot that there was a reason why rare animals were rare.

The little girl has a chubby white face, long, thick and curled eyelashes, and big, bright eyes. Especially when she is embarrassed or shy, a faint pink cloud gradually covers her cheeks, making people exclaim that she is so cute that it is unfair.

The cub is so small, so cute and kind, it really makes people feel good~

After all, it was for everyone's safety that Cub Cub suggested that Black and White Bear go with them to the survival base.

Then, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "Actually, it's okay to let Monokuma come along. How about we bring our own food?"

"Not bad, not bad, this is a good idea." Someone followed up and praised.

Xia Ruanruan: "..."

There is no need to do this, there is really no need to do this!

final……

Xia Runrun still ordered Xiong Baqi and the others to stay in school, while she took Dahei and the others and followed the old man Yan, who was familiar with the place, to a survival base in the neighboring province, hundreds of kilometers away from Xingyue University. At the same time, there were more than 30 people accompanying them. Some of them had mutant beasts as pets, and some were very familiar with the city roads and had strong physical fitness.

Looking at the little girl's back as she walked towards the dormitory with her short legs.

Yang Fan couldn't help but frown slightly. "If it weren't for those mutant dogs, and no one else besides Ruan Ruan could command them, I really wouldn't want to let such a young child run four or five hundred kilometers to the survival base."

Huang Haichao looked at the figures of many people still working in the fields under the setting sun. "You've mistaken him for the leader of the new shelter, yet you're still worried about whether he can adapt to the long-distance raid... You're really acting like a nanny, worrying about the leader."

Yang Fan: “…”

Yang Fan was choked and couldn't speak for a long time. He looked at Huang Haichao with a cold gaze. This kid was as mean as his dog.

"The child went out once before and caught a cold, had a fever and was feeling unwell... If he had to travel a long distance of four or five hundred kilometers, wouldn't the child become even more seriously ill?" Yang Fan sighed and expressed his biggest worry.

Although Yang Fan had not had much contact with other children since he was a child, there were several children of similar age to Xia Runrun in the shelter, and those children's physiques were obviously much stronger than this child.

If he had to travel a long distance, even if he had some worries in his heart, he would not have sighed like that.

Yang Fan shook his head. "I'm just worried that if the child gets sick on the road, and we don't have a doctor or medicine, what should we do?"

"I say, you are just full and bored, so you think about so many nonsense." Old man Yan shook his head, touched his beard, and pointed to a small area not far away that was surrounded by a crowd.

"Look what's that over there? I don't see anyone else. I heard we're going to the survival base with a circle of people. Are we already preparing? Not to mention Dad, you're going for a walk."

Old Man Yan raised his chin and pointed at a dozen men and women who were busy working not far away.

In front of an open space not far away.

A dozen skilled weavers were weaving a small square bamboo house with bamboo strips. It was more like a small carriage than a house, but its volume was several times smaller than a carriage. It could only accommodate a child of about seven or eight years old. In order to make people live comfortably and avoid falling, buckles similar to seat belts were designed inside.

There was an old woman in the middle who was very skillful. She even wove an opening window into the small bamboo house so that people sitting inside could see clearly what was happening outside. Four straps similar to those of a backpack were woven together with the bamboo strips at the bottom of the small bamboo house to hold the entire house in place.

This way, the small bamboo house can be fixed on the mutant dog's back anytime and anywhere. We just need to wait until the team sets off tomorrow to put it on the mutant dog.

"I never thought that the people in our shelter would have such skills." Huang Haichao exclaimed in amazement.

"What's so strange about this? It's just a simple backpack with an inverted lock. After you sit in it, tie the bamboo door in front with a hemp rope, and then secure yourself with the buckle. That way, when the mutant dog runs, it won't roll around in the small bamboo house and fall out."

"If you want to live more comfortably, use a thick quilt to sew a circle inside and outside the bamboo basket. The rough bamboo strips will not scratch the mutant dog's fur, and the little girl won't have to worry about the north wind blowing in through the holes in the bamboo strips. Put some food and drink in it, and you can sleep directly in it during the day." Old man Yan looked at the small bamboo house with some envy. If it weren't for his mutant beast, it would only be a medium-sized owl.

And his body size is not like that of a child, which can be easily dealt with by a small bamboo house. Old Man Yan even wants to ask someone to help him make such a thing.

Every time he sat on Gugu's back and flew hundreds of kilometers to the survival base, he felt like his old bones were about to fall apart. This thing was still more comfortable.

"Don't even think about it, old man. We designed this overnight specifically for Miss Xia!" Wu Wenhua smiled and stretched his head over. As a qualified leg pendant, he always reminded himself to think about the little boss.

then.

That night, when Xia Runrun was sleeping soundly on the kang, the others had already prepared her luggage for the trip to the survival base.

Just, the northwest corner of the school.

"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!"

A large, gray rat with a hole in its head and shiny black fur all over its body squeaked excitedly as it smelled a familiar scent in the air.

Good thing! To think that Her Majesty, the Queen, had been searching for this abominable human for a full half-month! The black-haired rat and its rat-kin had traversed almost the entirety of Star-Moon City through the sewers, only to smell a familiar scent during the day today and dig a hole to find it.

Feeling the increasingly strong and familiar scent of the cubs in the air, the black-haired mouse aggressively called out to the group of gray-haired mice following behind it, and they came out of the cave one by one.

"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!" (Little ones! Charge! I, the Rat Queen, keep my word! The damned humans dared to deceive me and even used mutant cats to set a trap to catch us all! This time, I'm going to take away all her winter food and starve her to death!)

The black-haired mouse gnashed its teeth and let out angry cries.

This is the anger of being betrayed by someone you love.

"Squeak!" (Your Majesty, don't worry! This time we will definitely teach them a lesson! And let these humans see that we, the Gray Rat Clan, are not to be trifled with!)

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" (That's right! Brothers, charge! For the Queen, and for the pride of our Gray Rat clan, everyone, charge!)

The gray-haired rats, who had never seen Xia Ruanruan and had only heard of such a person among other gray-haired rats, all clenched their paws in response.

The red atlas flickered slightly, as if it had sensed that other informal residents had entered the base.

A golden light flashed in the picture book, and rats that were slightly larger than the rats in the gray-haired rat group appeared in the shelter. These suddenly appeared mutant rats were all strong and sleek, with shiny fur. They were obviously faster than the rats brought by the black-haired rats.

"Rustle!—"

“Rustle!——”

Groups of mice followed the scent and crawled towards the room where Xia Ruanruan lived. The mutated mice evolved from the illustrations also followed quickly.

“Bang!——”

The illustrated book that was originally hanging high above Xia Runruan's head suddenly hit the little girl's forehead, and with a bang, it woke up the sleeping Xia Runruan.

Xia Ruanruan: “…………”

Xia Runrun rubbed her forehead, which was hit red by the illustrated book, and was completely confused.

Why is this illustrated book going crazy again?

But at this moment, the sound outside the window was carried into Xia Ruanruan's ears by the cold winter wind. The little girl shook her ears, subconsciously widened her eyes, took a few steps forward and opened the window, only to see outside the window -

Clusters of gray-black shadows fought together, densely packed and constantly moving, which was creepy to watch!

Xia Ruanruan:!!!!!!

“Crash!——”

A black-haired rat, about the size of a corgi before the virus broke out, suddenly jumped out from the fighting team, squeaking.

"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!"

(You bastard, you stinky human! How dare you raise other rats behind my back?! You're such a jerk! Damn it!)

The black mouse yelled loudly.

Xia Ruanruan: ...?
