The End of the Earth
Chapter 22 Mutants
Moldova is a country with a very small population base, with a total population of only more than 1500 million.
The country is rich in strategic resources, so it is relatively wealthy.
Although Jia City is not the largest city, it had a population of more than 100 million in the old days. After the white flash incident, part of the population disappeared. In addition to the subsequent environmental factors, according to the database of the main control computer moved to the underground biological research base, not counting the population of the Azure World, Jia City theoretically still has a population of about 22. Of course, this was before the nuclear attack.
Before the nuclear disaster, some people had already evacuated the city of Jiya to large shelters in nearby cities.
Although Jia City is a large city, most of the disaster prevention construction is carried out in nearby cities because the land of Jia City is not suitable for the construction of large underground facilities. For example, the underground biological research base in Jia City was forcibly built in the stratum using high-strength military building materials.
This was also the reason why the shock wave from the previous fight between Dragon Girl and the Axis machine was able to destroy the external alloy protective layer of the underground base.
The city of Jia only has three medium-sized shelters, and the construction standards of these shelters are definitely not at the level of an underground biological research base. Based on macro factors, the current population of the city of Jia will not exceed 20,000.
"Computer, prepare a detailed report on the base's current population and the status of each department. Also, have the Security and Communications departments install a strong signal repeater in Area C."
"The order has been confirmed and the details of the task have been issued."
Over the past few days, Xiang San and several departments have come up with several plans to connect the Area C shelter and the biological base. They cannot stay in the iron can forever. The radiation level in Jia City is not as strong as before. Next, someone has to make plans to clean up the remaining nuclear radiation contamination.
This is not difficult thanks to the equipment and scientific research talents of the biological base.
After the overall situation of the biological base was stabilized, Xiang San took Aman back to the shelter in Area C. On the way back, Xiang San had installed the same robotic arm that Huobao had installed before, and installed an electronic eye in his left eye. The right eye was temporarily transformed with ultra-fine nano-terminal particles, but it still had some damage. He was also unwilling to completely change his only remaining right eye, which symbolized the last dignity of his human identity.
"Now that we've taken over the biological base, we should open up another route in addition to communications. The ground is currently unstable, so we can start underground."
Calista's suggestion was exactly what the managers were thinking. The biological base had more than 2700 former New World Company employees, and together with the people in the Area C shelter, it was already a gathering area of some size.
"Since everyone agrees, let's get started. After the signal repeater is installed, the C Area Shelter Order Department and the Biological Base Security Department will form a joint patrol team. We still need to be prepared for underground dangers. After the underground passage is opened, this team will be responsible for security within the passage."
"Yes! Commander!"
Danger is everywhere, and there are still a large number of unknown creatures on the ground. Those with high threat levels have all been eliminated, but it is hard to say about the others.
Before, Ying's clones attracted high-level organisms, and no one knew how many slightly weaker organisms there were.
Not to mention underground, according to Ying, there are also beings of her level in other spore areas.
He doesn't think that every tough guy he meets can be fooled. Judging from his first contact with Ying, the creatures in the Guangyun World are hostile to humans.
After properly planning the affairs of the two gathering areas, he once again led the exploration team to the ground to search for supplies. This time they would step into the city center area, and the team size would be increased to 50 people. They would also be equipped with large-scale transportation tools, a magical technology product equipped with magic bearings, an exclusive product of the Area C shelter, with a strong magic drive and a maximum speed of 180 kilometers per hour.
The container for storing magic power is the key technology. A metal called magic silver is like a magnet. This silver naturally carries a trace of magic power. This is a progressive discovery made by the dwarves. The stability of the C-area shelter and the removal of the restrictions of the Azure World have opened up a new door for the magical creativity of the people in the Azure World.
However, a magic transport vehicle can only transport about 25 tons of supplies, and there is only one, which is already the limit in the short term.
50 members of the shelter, a magic transport vehicle, and Annie patrolling the sky. This is the name Amman gave to the Dragon Girl as a person. Perhaps in Amman's eyes, she is really a person.
"Xiang, is there any news about other people in the Azure?"
An elf asked over the communicator.
Xiang San knew that this was probably what Kalista wanted to ask, and she was the only person in the blue world that he always thought of.
"According to the logs, they should be in Medium Shelter No. 3. Most of the people there are from the Azure World. Don't worry, we'll find them. According to official data, they can live safely in the shelter for over two years. They have more supplies than we do. Let's improve our living conditions first and then contact them. What do you say?"
"Yes, Commander!"
Yes, although everyone has food and drink now, that is not sustainable. Moreover, the third item is to increase the food supply to the residents of the shelter by 30%, because we don’t want them to live a life with no quality. Who would want to live like this, where everyone eats porridge and meat once a week?
Therefore, the food in the shelter is now maintained at two meals a day, and sufficient meat food is supplemented every two days.
There is even a gym in the living area on the second underground floor for residents to exercise. Who would have thought that such a facility would be built during a nuclear disaster when supplies are scarce?
At first, the managers of the Area C shelter were all opposed, but after Xiang San's explanation, everyone's doubts were dispelled.
Why? Because by 2030, all food giants’ food supply chains will have started using synthetic foods to replace regular foods.
This century-long invention of the Chinese Academy of Grain Science is known as the life-extending formula for future humans.
There is such a synthesis line in the center of Jia City. It compresses 50 kilograms of food into a palm-sized volume, reducing space occupation and greatly reducing the impact of the environment on the food.
Imagine a piece of flesh the size of the Earth compressed into the size of a fingernail, then stimulated with water and electric current, and duang~ it returns to its original size.
Although this statement is exaggerated, it does illustrate the impact of this technology.
It will be easier for humans to stockpile food and significantly reduce non-food consumption. There was once a rumor online that China developed this machine through reverse engineering based on extraterrestrial technology.
This kind of synthetic equipment is naturally important, but more important is the warehouse that stores the various synthetic foods produced by it.
The possibility of some of it being contaminated cannot be ruled out, but as long as some of it can still be used, it will be a huge gain, and the shelter will not have to worry about food problems.
At the beginning of 2030, capitalists will massively withdraw funds and hoard large amounts of resources. Even if some people try to make the people of the world have enough food and clothing, in the face of global capitalization, any invention of a great man will only be used as a needle and awl to squeeze the people dry.
The synthetic food warehouse in Jia City is probably one of the storage points, and maybe equipment can be obtained there.
The road was rugged and some sections were blocked by ruins. In front of Anne's power, these roadblocks were easily removed by her heat ray, which directly cut a path through them.
Powerful force is like a shot of adrenaline. Under the protection of such power, the exploration team seems to move freely and no longer worry about any danger.
There are also some small surprises on the roadside. Some ruins may have been luxury goods or gun stores before they were destroyed. The black market network in Jia City is very large, and there are many stores that are selling fake products under the guise of selling genuine products. This is also a way to boost the local economy.
"Look what I found, honey!"
"Guerlain? Oh my god? Is a woman's sixth sense so accurate? She can find perfume so easily, why don't you find me a belt, baby?"
Anman's face turned pale and she muttered a few words. Xiang San didn't hear clearly what she said through the communicator, but she was definitely not praising him.
Everyone has their own small gains along the way, which may be useful or not. Everyone understands Xiang San. As long as the commander does not say it is not allowed, it is allowed. They know him too well.
Because Xiang San said that as long as you need it, it will be useful, except for one thing, that is cigarettes, cigars and drugs like morphine. Even he has quit smoking, so why would anyone else want to smoke?
One reason why smoking is not allowed is due to the air quality in the shelter, and another reason is... the people in the blue world do not smoke and are very resistant to the smell of smoke.
"Miss Anman, could you please ask Big Annie to come down and bring her some equipment to the sky?"
"Annie is Annie, what do you mean by Big Annie? It's rude."
The dragon girl in the sky seemed to be summoned by Amman's psychological fluctuations and fell rapidly beside her.
The four-meter height is still very intimidating, and with the Sky Axis armor, it looks like a mechanical angel, but the terrifying dragon tail spoils the view a bit.
"Annie, take it and go behind the pile of rubble ahead to investigate."
Perhaps because of the relationship between Xiang San and An Man, she would still listen to Xiang San's words, but she always had to look at An Man to get her confirmation before taking any action.
"Is that a surveillance ball?"
Anman looked at the mechanical belt hanging around Annie's waist, which had four mechanical balls on it.
"Right, you're a veteran New World employee indeed. These surveillance cameras are already connected to the one on my left, so I can see all the footage immediately.
I have a feeling there's something going on over there on the other side of this mountain of ruins."
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Xiang San did not let Annie use the melta ray.
"All exploration teams halt their searches. Ten members of the Order Department will follow us up the mountain. Those wearing power suits will remain on the transport vehicle to protect the supplies and other members. Call us via communicator if anything happens."
"Order received, Commander!"
"Roger that! Commander!"
A dozen people began to climb the mountain of ruins, and the images from the other side were coming from the electronic eyes on Annie's body.
"Nima?"
"??? What's wrong, Commander?!"
"...It's okay, stay alert."
Xiang San looked at the strange scene at the other end, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
Thousands of skinned humans were kneeling in worship of a special mutant, a three-meter-tall humanoid creature with strange bones crisscrossing the surface of his scarlet muscle tissue, like a suit of bony armor. He stood in front of the mutants, roaring in a low voice, a voice that relied on the vibration of his throat, like a beast in the wilderness.
