Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 51 Is This an Oasis?
Is there really a signal?!

Lu Xian slammed on the brakes and looked at Yao Wei.

After putting the car in neutral and pulling the handbrake, they both opened the door and jumped out of the car at the same time.

Yao Wei handed the radio to Lu Xian, who operated it, and picked up the gun to be on guard. At the same time, she kept an eye on Lu Xian, glancing at the radio in his hand from time to time.

"Zi-ZiZi-"

"Zizizi—National Tight—Zizizizi—Please—Zizizizi—"

"Zizzizi——"

Lu Xian kept moving, taking a few steps to the left and then a few steps to the right with the radio in his hand, lowering it and raising it, and there was always a sound of electricity coming out of the radio.

But when he moved to certain positions, the sound of the electricity would be mixed with human voices, as if someone was broadcasting some information.

After changing several seats, he found that the signal was relatively better at the passenger seat and another open space.

However, the open space was too empty, so there was no need to check the situation again. Lu Xian walked to the passenger seat of the car, opened the door, kicked it, grabbed the upper edge of the door frame, and jumped onto the roof.

There was a spare tire on the roof, so Lu Xian squatted on it, and the signal got a little better.

"Zizizizi—National Emergency Disaster Relief Command Center—zizizizi—National Emergency Disaster Relief Command Center, we—zizizizi—please—"

Lu Xian frowned, turned to Yao Wei and asked, "Is there any emergency disaster relief headquarters in this world?"

Yao Wei said: "I haven't heard of it."

Luo Ping hadn’t mentioned that before either.

If there really is such a place now, Luo Ping would definitely be happy to respond or look for it, right?

So what about the sound in this channel signal?
Besides, in today's world, the whole world has probably been in disaster for decades, so how can we talk about emergency disaster relief?
"Isn't this National Emergency Disaster Relief Headquarters just like those Reconstructionists and the Hedonists? It's just an old relic, isn't it?"

Lu Xian asked again.

But he couldn't figure out this problem. Even if it was an antique, it should be aware of the current situation after continuing to this day. Why would it still use a name like "Emergency Relief"?
Moreover, in this desolate world today, how many people can still hear such a broadcast?

Yao Wei shook her head, also not quite understanding.

Full of questions, Lu Xian stood up, held up the radio, and turned around.

When it turned to a certain direction to the east, the electric current sound in the radio suddenly weakened, and the mixed sound finally became clear -

"This is the National Emergency Disaster Relief Command Center. This is the National Emergency Disaster Relief Command Center. Please pay attention everywhere. The disaster is not over yet. Experts analyze that this will be a long-term disaster that will not subside in a short time.

"Please conserve energy, maintain normal water and electricity supply as much as possible, distribute supplies appropriately, and ensure residents' supplies. This headquarters will provide guidance via radio at 6:00 PM daily.

"For those whose communication radio stations are intact, please send a signal to this headquarters via radio as soon as possible. This headquarters will conduct multi-band searches at any time to seek contact.

"If there are shortages of supplies in various locations and they are unable to continue, they can quickly relocate to the headquarters if conditions permit. The headquarters has deployed forces to establish a temporary base in the new district of Donghai City, around the local power plant and water plant. The water and electricity supply is continuous and intact, and there are sufficient supplies. We are ready to receive people from all over the place at any time.

"This is the National Emergency Disaster Relief Command Center. This is the National Emergency Disaster Relief Command Center..."

The sound began to repeat.

Lu Xian listened for a while, sighed softly, jumped out of the car, and said, "There is no new content. This sound should be a recording. The power supply there seems to be really well maintained."

"Ah."

Yao Wei nodded. She quickly returned to the car and sat in the passenger seat.

When Lu Xian returned to the driver's seat, he saw Yao Wei flipping through "World Atlas 1".

After flipping through many pages, she finally found the one for Donghai City. She stretched out her slender finger and tapped on the map, saying, "I've found the water plant, but there's no power plant on the map."

Lu Xian thought for a moment and said, "You think... could it be a nuclear power plant? Places like this aren't usually marked on maps, right?"

Yao Wei was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Well... maybe..."

Lu Xian scratched his head: "So do you think we can still go to this place? It would be fine if someone was maintaining it, but if no one was maintaining it, I can't imagine what it would be like there."

Yao Wei said, "I can't go."

Lu Xian turned around and glanced at Yao Wei. Seeing Yao Wei's serious expression, he asked, "Which nuclear power plant have you been to?"

Yao Wei said, "I haven't been there, but I've seen it. There have been explosions. The bodies of the people and animals living nearby have changed, becoming ugly and fragile. These places are too dangerous, so it's best not to go near them."

It seems that such a place really left a deep impression on her, as she could speak so many words at once.

Lu Xian nodded and said, "Okay, let's leave this place alone and keep going."

He started the car and continued west. After such a short round trip, there was no need to refuel when he returned to the Changshengtian Petrochemical Gas Station.

The oil in the tank hasn't been consumed much yet. If you put the gas nozzle in now, it will probably pop off, right?

Anyway, they still had a full tank of oil in the car, so they were no longer as anxious about heading west as before. There was no need to rush to refill this little bit of oil.

The car drove past the gas station and the two-story building next to it.

The small building was still desolate, with weeds growing wildly and covering the main door. There was no trace of their entry or exit.

Going further, there are still wild grass everywhere, the sky is high and the clouds are thick, and the shadows are like a curtain.

As Lu Xian was driving, he suddenly thought of a question and asked Yao Wei, "Do you think... could that be the oasis that people think it is?"

Yao Wei didn't understand for a moment and asked, "What?"

"It's the National Emergency Disaster Relief Command Center."

Lu Xian said, "It said on the radio that the water, electricity and supplies were sufficient, and it also said that it could accept people from other places. For those who can't survive, isn't it an oasis?"

Yao Wei thought for a moment and replied, "It seems...right."

But Lu Xian asked again: "But in this case, for Fang Shuxin, is the Reconstruction Faction also an oasis?"

Yao Wei was silent and thought for a while, then said, "I don't know..."

Lu Xian took a long breath, then slowly exhaled, saying, "The world is so vast, where is the oasis?"

"do not know."

Yao Wei gave the same answer.

Lu Xian suddenly turned to look at Yao Wei and said, "Yao Wei, what do you think...if we have the chance to go to Donghai City in the future, let's go a little further away and see what the situation is like? We have dogs and drones, so we can let the dogs go and investigate."
