Apocalypse Survival

After walking through the silent passage, after passing two turns, the flat road that went straight down became a steep staircase extending downward.

Going down all the way, going deeper into the lower world, after walking for two or three minutes, Shu Ye saw a faint light in front of him.

The exit is there.

After Shu Ye and his party walked out of the passageway, their eyes suddenly brightened.

The underground world is worthy of the name "world".

The hollowed out underground area is vast and far away. If there are not consolidated and flattened soil walls on all sides as obvious boundary walls, otherwise it is absolutely impossible to know where the boundary is at a glance.

The hollowed-out underground area is square, regardless of the top and bottom, and there is an entrance and exit to the outside world—the passageway—on the four compacted earth walls, front, back, left, and right.

The opening of the passageway is located at a high position. It is at the half-waist of the earth wall. The round opening is connected to a wide platform the size of a large square, where people can stand and stay.

The platform is square, one side is tightly connected to the mountain wall, and the left and right sides are up and down stairs leading to the flat ground.

On the front side, a fence is set up, which not only has the function of safety, but also allows people to lean on the fence to look at the distant scene.

After Shu Ye walked out of the cave and stepped on the platform, he looked around first, and then walked to the fence to overlook the scenery below.

I don't know how the location of the entrance and exit was decided. It is too high, high enough to have a clear view of the city below.

Standing at this height and looking down, the human beings seen in twos and threes are as small as ants.

Under the platform, there is an underground kingdom that was painstakingly built by several scumbags killed by Cheng Tianyi.

The bazaar and houses are built in sequence, and the land occupation is well-divided. The architectural style is very retro. People who don't know the truth will think that they have traveled to an ancient dynasty at first glance.

From near to far, the height of the housing area increases successively, and the degree of luxury also increases successively.In the final central position, there is a royal palace standing on the top of a high mountain.

A palace, really a palace.

Standing on the platform, Shu Ye watched, and could vaguely see the red walls and green tiles, and the eaves with auspicious beasts cast on them.

The tall walls enclose the large and small palaces inside, protecting the "nobles" inside, while also isolating the "humble people" outside.

This modest palace occupies the highest and most central position. It looks down on the courtiers at its feet, looking noble and unattainable.

Shu Ye couldn't help being stunned, he held the fence tightly, and sighed: "This is really being an emperor."

"Emperor Earth," Shu Ye said, "Life is beautiful."

Cheng Tianyi stayed here for a short time before, and after seeing it in advance, he doesn't feel much now.

He nodded following Shu Ye's words, "Yeah."

"The remnants of feudalism are of no consequence." Yu Ziqing beeped softly and muttered, "So they were wiped out."

It was Cheng Tianyi who did the killing. Hearing this, he subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Yu Ziqing who said this.

The eyes are very calm and casual.

But when Yu Ziqing noticed Cheng Tianyi's eyes, he froze inexplicably, and then immediately blew rainbow farts, feeling very impassioned.

"It's all thanks to the wise and mighty brother Yi who came out! He cut these hot chickens under the sword and rescued our group of suffering people from the dire straits!"

"Brother Yi, Saigao!" Yu Ziqing yelled bluffing.

Yu Ziqing opened and closed his mouth, babbling endlessly.

Shu Ye stared at Yu Ziqing silently, and communicated with Cheng Tianyi with mental strength: "I think Yu Ziqing's stress reaction is a bit...too much."

Cheng Tianyi was silenced by Yu Ziqing's bragging, and replied: "...Yes, he seems a little strange."

Cheng Tianyi felt very wronged: "I just glanced at him casually, and he looked very nervous and flustered."

"Then start blowing your rainbow fart when you get nervous?" Shu Ye almost laughed.

He quickly tightened his expression, without showing any clues on his face, "You are always expressionless, and you glance at others casually. It looks either fierce, or meaningful, or you feel that you have seen through others."

"Why do you say Yu Ziqing is panicking?" Shu Ye asked joyfully.

[Maybe there is a ghost in my heart, and I feel that I have been seen through. ] The system came out and answered a sentence.

Immediately, the system entered the working state: [It is detected that the host is below 1000m underground, and the system automatically detects the state of the environment. 】

[Beep—the detection is complete.Test result: the environment is safe. 】

[The ambient air where the host is located is suitable, and the oxygen content...]

The system let out a soft "huh", with some doubts and disbelief in its tone: [It is completely enough for the human body?And is it enough for the daily needs of all survivors? ? ? 】

Shu Ye was stunned for a moment.

He thought of the completely sealed entrance to the underground bunker, and the underground world that he had carefully observed with his mental power just now, but he didn't find any vents.

Is there so much oxygen in such a deep and closed place underground?

At this time, Yu Ziqing just finished blowing rainbow farts, and Cheng Tianyi called everyone to go down the stairs.

Shu Ye walked side by side with Cheng Tianyi, and he asked in a low voice, "It's almost sealed below, where does the air flow come from? With so many survivors, there's enough oxygen underground?"

Cheng Tianyi heard the conversation between the system and Shu Ye just now, so now that Shu Ye asks, Cheng Tianyi can immediately answer Shu Ye's doubts.

"Oxygen depends on a special plant that can produce a large amount of oxygen suitable for human survival with a little water. This plant can also complete air conversion."

Cheng Tianyi has learned about the situation in the underground world before, so this question can be answered completely.

There are always a lot of weird things in the last days.

Cheng Tianyi was a little emotional: "This may be a mutated plant that has undergone natural mutations after the end of the world, or it may be an experimental species specially cultivated by people living underground."

The root system of this special plant is particularly long and well developed, and the root system is everywhere in the soil underground.

And its root system is its main plant, and some branches grow on the ground in the shape of dead branches, responsible for the air conversion between the ground and the ground.

Therefore, the survivors in the underground world don't need to worry about the problem of dirty air, because the special plants are changing the gas all the time, and they can breathe fresh air every day.

And when there is a lack of oxygen, just pour some water on the roots of special plants, and a lot of white smoke-like gas will come out.

After the smoke cleared, fresh oxygen had been incorporated into the air for people's needs.

But there is something to pay attention to, that is, you can't get close to the white smoke, because the oxygen is too much and too thick at this time, and it is easy to inhale oxygen.

"This is that special plant." Yu Ziqing stopped and said aloud while standing on the stairs.

He listened to the conversation between Cheng Tianyi and Shu Ye. Before that, he just listened quietly, and didn't interrupt casually to disturb Cheng Tianyi and Shu Ye's conversation.

Now that the conversation between Cheng Tianyi and Shu Ye had come to an end, Yu Ziqing couldn't control his mouth anymore.

Cheng Tianyi and Shu Ye stamped their feet, turned around and looked at Yu Ziqing who was a few steps behind.

Yu Ziqing stood on the steps, touched the earth wall and waved it left and right, sweeping away the layer of earth-colored dust covering it, exposing a large white root behind.

"Its name is CN-00478." Yu Ziqing rested his hand on the white root-like object, and he turned his head to look at it. "This is a species specially bred by the former 'emperor' in the laboratory."

"——In order for the people in the underground world to live safely." Yu Ziqing's expression was complicated, and it was difficult to hide the look of loneliness and nostalgia.

Shu Ye raised his eyebrows. He took a closer look at the white root-like object rooted in the soil wall, and felt that it looked a bit like Zhaergen.

Shu Ye remembered that when he was still strolling outside in mid-air, he looked down from the sky to the ground, and saw many dead trees growing on the ground in this area.

Thinking about it now, those are probably part of CN-00478 growing outside.

CN-00478.

Shu Ye recited the serial number in his heart.

It can be said to be a very laboratory name.

And Yu Ziqing's emotions when he said those words were also very meaningful.

Shu Ye and Cheng Tianyi exchanged a look.

Cheng Tianyi received the hint, and he said with a sullen face and a subtle tone: "It seems that the 'emperor' has paid a lot for your living environment."

"But I have already killed him." Cheng Tianyi wrote lightly.

He looked at Yu Ziqing and said, "You respect him a lot?"

Yu Ziqing suddenly turned his head to look at Cheng Tianyi and Shu Ye.

The entanglement and struggle in his eyes were undoubtedly revealed at this moment.But both Shu Ye and Cheng Tianyi could see that Yu Ziqing's entanglement and struggle were not emotions expressed in response to the questions raised by Cheng Tianyi.

He was thinking about other things.

Confusion and hesitation filled Yu Ziqing's mind. At this moment, Yu Ziqing seemed to want to say something, but suddenly held back.

After a while, he realized that Cheng Tianyi asked him what kind of question, "I didn't respect him..."

Yu Ziqing denied that he saw all this clearly, "Everything he did was just to strengthen his position."

Without a safe and perfect living environment, how could the "emperor" recruit "people"?Behind all acts of kindness, there is a clear and obvious personal purpose.

Cheng Tianyi didn't buy it, he folded his arms and said coldly: "But the emotions you showed don't seem to match what you said."

Cheng Tianyi knew that Yu Ziqing's abnormal mood was caused by other things, but it didn't stop him from opening his eyes and talking nonsense!

Yu Ziqing was taken aback when he heard the words, recalled his state just now, and hurriedly yelled in denial: "I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense!!!"

When Yu Ziqing said this, he returned to a state full of energy, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

"I miss the way I looked just now, right?" Yu Ziqing looked frantic, "Even if it's just nostalgia, it's not for that scum!"

"I'm missing my grandfather!" Yu Ziqing, who was misunderstood as "missing the emperor's old scum", was like being fed a mouthful of flies, and almost made him sick.

Yu Ziqing proved his innocence: "My grandfather once worked in the laboratory, and he also participated in the CN-00478 cultivation project!!!"

Cheng Tianyi nodded irrefutably, his attitude was very casual, as if Yu Ziqing's sophistry was no problem, and he didn't take Yu Ziqing seriously.

Seeing this, Yu Ziqing immediately found it difficult.

He turned his head to look at Shu Ye again, only to find that Shu Ye was staring at the root of CN-00478 on the earth wall, watching with so much concentration that he couldn't help himself.

Looking at the four heroes behind him, the heroes did not follow behind in a proper manner.

The innate ability to float freely anytime, anywhere gives the heroes a great deal of freedom. Now they are flying around at will, looking here and there, just like a family traveling with their cubs.

Yu Ziqing: "... Hey, you don't believe me."

Yu Ziqing suddenly lost his temper.

He snapped, sat down on the steps, buried his head on his legs, and wrapped his arms around his thin and dark self, like a coal-colored young man who had lost his ambition.

Shu Ye moved his eyes away from the earth wall and glanced at Yu Ziqing.

Under the superficial indifference attitude of everyone, everyone was whispering with their mental strength, and they didn't bring Yu Ziqing to play with them.

【At that time, Yu Ziqing had a momentary impulse to reveal his true purpose. 】The system said: 【But he quickly suppressed the impulse and started to care about other topics. 】

"It's so tantalizing!" Shu Ye said calmly, "I'm really scratching my head to know what Yu Ziqing wants to do."

Cheng Tianyi tried his best to satisfy Shu Ye's curiosity, and he came up with a simple and rude idea: "Why don't you arrest him and torture him directly, and ask him everything you want to know."

Shu Ye: "..."

Shu Ye thought about it seriously, and actually felt that this method was very feasible.

If Yu Ziqing hadn't shown any clues or flaws before, Shu Ye and Cheng Tianyi would never have thought of this.

At most, they would think that Yu Ziqing had handed over a certificate to Cheng Tianyi to help Cheng Tianyi understand the situation of the underground world early, so what Yu Ziqing wanted from them.

Therefore, they should pay more attention to Ziqing.

But now Yu Ziqing is behaving very strangely, and it seems that there is still a big secret, which makes Shu Ye and Cheng Tianyi have to use some special methods.

"I'm tempted by my real name." Shu Ye really wanted to do this, but he was still a little hesitant, "But arresting and interrogating compatriots privately is against the law, and it is clearly written in the code of Deerra."

These regulations have been deeply rooted in the bones for many years. If you want to violate them, you really have to make a big decision.

[Hey, stop here. 】The system hurriedly rushed out to interrupt Shu Ye's thinking, it seriously stopped Shu Ye from continuing to imagine: 【Host, please stop your fantasy. 】

Shu Ye hastily closed the microphone.

Just when he thought that the system was going to take out the code to teach him ideological and political education, he heard the system say:

[This is Blue Star!Act on your heart!Can a law that is not violated on Deerra be called a violation? 】

Cheng Tianyi: "..."

Shu Ye: "...Okay, I see."

Although he knew the law and violated the law, the situation of Del La Star was different from that of Blue Star. Shu Ye was still a good citizen!

So when trying to torture Yu Ziqing, Cheng Tianyi and Shu Ye reached a consensus.

As soon as their conversation here stopped, Shu Ye heard that the hero came to complain.

"Remember to torture Yu Ziqing more." Chang'e hugged the little white rabbit and complained: "Yu Ziqing has seen me many times, and I feel like I have encountered a pervert."

"He might just be looking at your rabbit and wants to eat braised rabbit meat." Before Shu Ye could say anything, Cai Wenji replied to Chang'e.

Then he exposed the fact that he wanted to eat braised rabbit meat.

But Cai Wenji didn't notice it, and she came to complain after she finished speaking: "Yu Ziqing also looked at me many times! His eyes are still weird."

"Well," Bian Que patted Cai Wenji's head and said, "Then he is indeed a pervert."

"Yu Ziqing's eyes are really strange. When he looked at us, he felt as if..." Zhen Ji thought for a while, and described: "It seems that he has heard of or seen us a long time ago. .”

"When we first met today, Yu Ziqing suddenly realized for a moment, like a celebrity he had heard about long ago, and finally saw what he looked like."

"Later, Yu Ziqing also paid special attention to the few of us. He was more observing Chang'e, as if he was discerning something. Later, his attention was on Shu Ye, and the occasional leaked emotions were quite complicated."

Zhen Ji's description was more practical, and the system beeped twice, [Let me try to combine the collected information into fragments and see what guesses I can draw. 】

After the system finished speaking, it began to toss the database in the background, and everyone was waiting for it to produce results.

Cheng Tianyi set his sights on Yu Ziqing.

About Yu Ziqing spying on Yingxiong and Shu Ye secretly, he had to ask "well" later.

The system is highly efficient, and the answer was quickly obtained by simulating data in the background. He happily reported the situation:

[Combining the known abnormal behavior of Yu Ziqing so far, there are three conjectures and conclusions. 】

【one.yes……】

While everyone was listening to the system's report, Yu Ziqing was still hugging his black and thin self with his head downcast.

Just as he didn't notice that Shu Ye and the others were whispering with their mental power, Shu Ye and the others also didn't notice the subtle changes in Yu Ziqing at this time.

Covered by his arms, Yu Ziqing's eyes were filled with calmness, almost to the point of coldness.

He is thinking.

Should he tell Shu Ye the information he knows?

If you don't speak out, you will never be able to gain Shu Ye's trust.

What he said...Yu Ziqing was not so willing.He actually didn't like that group of people having a good time.

Whether to say or not to say, there are different hesitation and scruples.

Yu Ziqing fell into deep thought.

What if... it's just half the story?
