Afterwards, the four of them quickly cleaned up the store, closed the door, and went to the second floor.
The people who were originally watching in their own shops, after seeing Lan Jin and the other three go upstairs, quickly closed their shops and followed them upstairs.
After all, everyone in the base knew the legend of Lan Jin and his three companions. Even people with such powerful skills had to go upstairs, let alone a group of ordinary people like them.
For a while, the entire first floor became vacant.
But, will hiding on the second floor be okay? How many floors can a commercial street have now? After all, there are only so many people, and if there are too many shops, no one will buy, so it only has three floors in total.
In other words, the top floor will be corroded by acid rain, and the first floor will be flooded by acid rain. The only place they can hide is the second floor.
…
After arriving on the second floor, Lao Gao immediately called Captain Zhang. However, Captain Zhang was too busy with the wounded to answer the phone. Lao Gao kept talking on the phone for a long time. After the rain stopped, Captain Wang and his team came here with great difficulty and launched a rescue operation for them.
However, this rescue was somewhat unexpected for Lan Jin.
Because Captain Wang was not taken away from here, or taken back to their accommodation, but was taken down to the first floor, opened a very hidden door, and then was taken all the way downstairs.
After going downstairs, Lao Gao couldn't help but ask curiously, "Captain Wang, where is this place? Don't we need to go out for rescue? Why are we still going downstairs?"
Captain Wang explained, "This is the underground city built when the base was first established. Originally, it was just an acid rain, and it would be over after it passed. But we just received news that the acid rain doesn't seem to be over yet, so we're moving everyone down here quickly."
This transfer would not be possible in a short time, so Lan Jin immediately asked, "Captain Wang, my Qiao Qiao..."
Captain Wang said, "Don't worry. We've already moved the children down there since we discovered the acid rain anomaly. You'll be able to see it soon."
Huang Jinghe asked curiously, "How long are we going to hide here underground? Are we going to live underground from now on?"
"Who knows? Even if others live underground, don't even think about escaping. If there's any danger later, you'll still be needed to help." Captain Wang added, "Don't worry. No one lives down there, so we don't know what the situation is. So your temporary task is to stay down there, protect everyone's safety, and be on standby at all times. We'll only call you up if the people above really can't handle it."
Once she heard that the child was safe, Lan Jin no longer cared too much about other things.
…
There were a lot of people on the business side. Maybe it was because Captain Wang was too serious, so the group didn't dare to talk when following him, so they just followed him down the stairs quietly.
There is no need to take the elevator to go to the underground city. After walking down about 7 or 8 floors, the group finally arrived at a particularly large door.
Captain Wang took out a card and swiped it towards the right side of the door, and the door opened immediately.
But to enter, you still need to swipe your residence permit. He said, "This card is for this gate, but the system inside is the same as above. You can just swipe your residence permit. Go in one by one and verify your information at the gate. From then on, your residence permit will allow you to freely enter anywhere you can go."
For example, residential areas, or work areas, but locations that are not within the scope of their residence permits cannot be opened. This is similar to the situation above the base, and everyone had no objection after hearing this.
Captain Wang stood guard at the door, watching as one person after another verified their identity and entered with their cards. He then said, "Someone will take care of you once you enter. Lan Jin, if you want to find your child, just go directly to the kindergarten. There's another kindergarten downstairs. The terrain down here is basically the same as up there, with the facilities and buildings located there, except you can't see the sun, so there's no risk of getting lost."
Everyone present understood it as soon as they heard it. It was equivalent to building an identical underground base while building the ground base. It must be said that the people above were really foresighted. It was just that no one knew whether there would be any "accidental" dangers from living underground.
…
Lan Jin followed the familiar route all the way to the kindergarten.
At this time, all the children in the kindergarten were laughing and playing together, completely unaware of what was happening outside.
This is also normal. No matter how dangerous the matter is, the people in charge will never let the children participate. Besides, even if they are told, they will not understand. It is better to send the children away directly. Whatever happens will remain the same.
So at this moment, the children thought they were playing games.
Listening to the children's laughter, everyone's tense mood suddenly relaxed.
Lan Jin even said, "They are just children after all. They don't know anything, so they can be so happy."
Ling Jiang asked, "It's not time to get out of school yet. Do you want to pick up the child?"
Lan Jin shook her head and said, "No, since we don't know, why should we create tension?"
Just as the four of them were about to leave, Captain Zhang finally called.
"Hey, how are you guys? Did Captain Wang take you down?"
Lao Gao replied, "I'm coming down, I'm coming down. I've already seen Qiao Qiao. How are you guys doing up there?"
Captain Zhang said, "The situation is not optimistic. The acid rain hasn't stopped yet, and many people have gone out to see it out of curiosity. They've suffered serious injuries, and not only are they untreatable, but they're also contagious."
This infection should be a reaction caused by the acid in the body coming into contact with other things. It would be fine as long as it doesn't come into contact with the other person, but this person is injured, how can he be treated without contact?
Moreover, the acid is extremely corrosive, and wearing gloves is useless. As a result, those who come into contact with it over a large area will succumb to the pain before long, and die in extreme pain.
As for those who had less contact with the pain, as its scope became wider and wider, they were almost unable to bear it. Instead of being tortured by the pain for a long time, it would be better to just die.
This acid rain is an indelible disaster for the base and for mankind.
But at this moment, Captain Zhang had an inopportune thought. "What about this acid rain? It's so corrosive. Will those mutants be afraid? If an acid rain directly corrodes all these mutants, it might be a good thing for us."
Although many people died, there were too many mutated creatures and they were too terrifying. It was impossible to eliminate them all. But if they were not eliminated, the world would never be at peace.
