Chapter 614 Legend
The battle between Tiga and Jayden caused a shock wave as violent as a nuclear explosion, rolling up tons of dust and flying thousands of meters into the sky, so that people looked up at the sky , it is no longer a blue sky and white clouds, but a gray sky, just like people's mood.
The reconstruction work of 'home' started the next day, but it was moved more than a thousand meters to the north because the original site experienced horrific fires and strong vibrations, and not only the soil was as hard as bricks It is as solid as stone, and there are countless spider web-like cracks in the ground. It is not suitable for amateurs who lack tools, experience, and engineering equipment, so they choose another site to build.
The previous 'home', after all, relied on EDF's temporary training base, with mature water, electricity and underground pipe networks. Everyone just made some tinkering and repairs before settling in. But now it is rebuilding from scratch.
Both the difficulty and the amount of work are not of the same level, and few of the personnel at the base have experience in building houses. A group of novices are building houses, let alone building tall buildings from flat ground. They have just started to build a house. It's hard work to build a wall that won't be crooked. I've been grinding for more than half a month, but I haven't built a few intact houses, and it's only one floor, and I don't even dare to build a second floor.
Such 'dangerous buildings' are such that no one dares to live in them and can only be used as warehouses. Therefore, everyone is still crowded in the cramped and stuffy underground shelters, looking forward to the day when they return to the surface.
In contrast, the progress of cultivating fields and planting vegetables is quite gratifying. The newly sown vegetable seeds have a slow growth cycle and have sprouted buds, while the fast growth cycle will not last long after a while. It’s ready to be picked.
During this period, everything was calm. None of the monsters that everyone was most worried about, including the Baxters, came to 'make trouble', allowing everyone to live a peaceful life for a long time. Gradually, Come out of the gloom and regain the laughter of the past.
Only when I occasionally look at the ruins of what was once a warm home in the distance, I will recall the 'threat' of aliens, and I will feel deep worry in my heart, and a trace of panic will flash in my eyes.
No one will mention this matter when there are many people. They will only discuss it in private: Do you want to leave?
After all, the voice said that wherever Ultraman is, monsters will attack there continuously, and they have also seen with their own eyes how much damage Ultraman and monsters will cause to the surroundings. The buildings and the ground were completely destroyed. If they didn't run fast, I'm afraid...
These days, they are always worried that monsters will attack, worried about losing their lives in monster attacks, and even worried about not being able to escape, and being affected by Ultraman and the battle.
So, the existence of Ultraman is already a double-edged sword. It can bring a great sense of security, but it may also hurt ordinary people like them.
Just leaving
In private, we discussed it countless times, but no one really left. There is no other reason. The living conditions here are so good. I have experienced the cruel apocalypse and endured it. People who have suffered from hunger can be said to be very satisfied with their current life of being able to eat well, have a house to live in, and can still move around in the sun. Before coming to this base, they never thought that there would be other people in the apocalypse. Such a 'paradise'.
Worrying that Ultraman will bring disaster while enjoying Ultraman's protection at the same time can be said to be very tangled. People are so greedy and always want to only take advantage of it.
But soon, those who wanted to give up were no longer so entangled, because there were people who came here because of the reputation, not just one, but waves of people, driving various Transportation, and a frightening journey through mountains and rivers, we arrived at this remote base. The first words I said after meeting people were "I heard that there is an Ultraman here, who can defeat monsters and protect humans. Is it true?"
Xing Na, who was responsible for receiving visitors, looked back at the house that was still under construction, and then thought about it, there was no room for people. The underground shelter and the rapidly depleting food reserves made it tempting to say, 'Our base cannot accommodate people for the time being.' But looking at the sallow and thin people in front of them, their faces pale from not seeing the light for a long time, they stood there and looked around uneasily, full of fear and worry about the unobstructed outside world, but there was a tinge in their eyes. With hope, like a drowning person seeing a lifebuoy, he desperately wants to grab it.
This reminded her of the time when she lived in the sewers. Everyone was like this, desperate and numb, full of fear of the outside world. Even if the sun was close at hand, they did not dare to step out. One step until
Here he comes.
What he brings is not only light, but also hope. Just like these people in front of them, they walked out of the hiding place with full of fear, and came here with fear all the way, just to pursue that A ray of hope.
The words of rejection have already come to the mouth, but after they are spoken, they become: "This is the 'home' base. I am Ozaki Anna, the captain of the Earth Defense Force EDF. Shelter and food are provided here, and Ultraman’s asylum”
Every time I say these words. , people will burst into tears with excitement, or even cry loudly. They can come out of their hiding spots and trek long distances to strange places. No one has a stable residence or sufficient food. They are basically on the edge of the abyss of despair, or Die in the abyss, or risk finding a new place to live.
After the first wave of people arrived, they were assigned to different underground shelters, and they settled in after squeezing. It also increased the labor force, which also accelerated the construction of the new base. But soon, the second The second, third, and fourth waves of people also came, and each wave lived farther away than the last.
If they are survivors from nearby cities, it can be said that they know about this place through black market exchanges. In the past, hundreds of people in the base came here through word of mouth, but now the people from the farthest are from Hokkaido. This word of mouth It must have spread too far.
In the apocalypse, the network has long been paralyzed. Communication between different survivor bases relies entirely on radios, and there is no need to replenish them. When one is worn out, one is missing. Basically, they are small radios because they consume less power. , easy to maintain, no one will have time to build a large radio station.
So how do small radio stations transmit news without losing the news? It allows people to accurately find this place even though they are thousands of miles away.
After asking, I learned that three months ago, a legend called the 'Savior' began to circulate in each survivor base. A 'Giant of Light' has descended on this planet. He can Destroy monsters, protect humans, and restore peace to the world.
No one believed it at first. It has been almost two years since the end of the world. I don’t know how many people have made up all kinds of salvation lies to make money. Those who are easily deceived have been deceived time and time again. In other words, there are more liars than fools.
