The rays of the morning sun shone down from the sky, and the entire earth seemed to be covered with a golden coat.
After the first light rainy season, the weather finally cleared up.
Standing in the open space above the exit of the Pingtan shelter, Hunter squinted his eyes and stretched after finishing his exercise.
The gleaming bald head was sweating, and the tangled fat was loosening, once again revealing the outline of muscles that he had only more than ten years ago.
“It’s awesome!”
Yehu murmured and touched his abdominal muscles with a pair of big hands.
Hmm.
I don’t know why, but he always feels like he is getting “younger” these days.
Not only the body, but also the mentality has undergone earth-shaking changes.
For half of the day, he liked to stay in the manager's office at the bottom of the shelter, killing time with a lot of reports that he couldn't understand at all, in order to pretend to complete the shelter. Manager's job.
But now, since joining the Western Suburbs Alliance, I have learned how allies manage shelters.
He found himself getting more and more relaxed.
Just throw away any reports. That is the responsibility of deputy manager Jin Guqiao.
What kind of war has nothing to do with me. If you want to fight, first ask the leaders of our Western Suburbs Alliance if they agree.
As for development
This tiger hunting thing is quite interesting, and I have forced myself to calm down and read a lot of books recently.
However, reality slapped him in the face, as if these things had a grudge against him.
Obviously I remembered it very firmly, but as soon as I left the door of the shelter, I quickly forgot it all.
We have no choice but to learn from our allies.
This guy Aldrich can't learn. His shelter is run like an iron bucket. It focuses on doing nothing but doing nothing. When there is a disaster, everyone will destroy it together.
The leader of the alliance, Sumo, is no good either. Yehu is quite self-aware and understands the gap between their IQs.
Once eliminated, only Kevin is left.
Learn him to establish a disposal base in Tianyuan territory?
After thinking about it for two or three days, Liehu finally decided not to make random decisions on his own, but to invite Somo over first.
After all, instead of thinking about how to develop in the future, it is better to let Sumo customize a plan for himself.
As for whether the other party will cheat me.
Based on the contacts during this period, Yehu is quite confident.
As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Although the number of residents in Pingtan Shelter is much more than that of Tianyuan Shelter next door, six times as much, but in terms of the quality of residents, both sides are simply better. Too bad.
The gophers have been passed down from generation to generation, and the civilization left by humans has long been lost in time.
Even sometimes, Hunter Tiger feels that the large number of people is actually a burden.
Except for being useful when the war started, it was a big trouble at other times.
And with such a mess, even if it is a trap, it is basically impossible to start.
Boom.
Just when Hunter Tiger was deep in thought, a slight whistling sound suddenly came from the distant sky.
Dozens of residents who were still working on the surface raised their heads curiously, and their eyes immediately locked onto the rapidly approaching black spot.
"Is it an enemy?"
Several Pingtan troops on alert were shocked and quickly wanted to raise the alarm.
But before he could make any move, his attention was attracted by the laughter of Liehu baring his teeth.
"Haha, what kind of enemy? This is our leader, the leader of our Western Suburbs Alliance is here!"
"Quick, tell me to get down."
"According to the highest etiquette of Pingtan Shelter, this is the first officially invited guest of our shelter in decades!"
Yehu ordered loudly, not smiling at the wrinkles on his face. Together, they look like blooming chrysanthemums.
When asking someone to do something, you must first have a good attitude.
Especially knowing that Su Mo has a soft-spoken character, Yehu is not a fool, and he is willing to do as many false gifts as he wants.
Soon, wait until the airship lands.
A welcoming team with hundreds of people already appeared in front of the gate of Pingtan Shelter.
Although I don’t wear any special clothes and have no unique etiquette.
But after hearing the lame "Welcome Leader" in Chinese, Sumo still inevitably showed a smile.
“Did you teach them?”
“Well, they have to learn it themselves.”
Liu Lu wiped the sweat from his head with a smile on his face.
As the first person to come into contact with Tianyuan, he certainly understood the importance of language communication, so he taught himself Chinese from the beginning, with the idea that he could still live even if Pingtan died and went to Tianyuan.
However, after developing over the past six months, running away is no longer needed for the time being, but it has also developed a new direction.
After attending the Qinggang Conference, Liehu asked him to open a language class when he came back.
It doesn’t matter how many people can be taught to learn Chinese, at least let them be able to communicate in basic ways.
Looking at the smile on Somo's face now, this teaching effect is not bad.
"Then you have to work hard and try to teach them more. Maybe there will be surprises in the future."
Slowly landing the airship, Sumo smiled and shook his head.
Cultural integration is indeed a trend that individuals cannot stop.
That’s right.
They are all human beings, and many of them have similar faces from the same region. How could they be cut off from each other because of such a small issue as language?
In other words, even if it is true that language cannot communicate, the people on earth and Blue Star will definitely develop a third way of communication.
This is a spontaneous fusion between billions of people. As long as there is no powerful shield like games, it will definitely be the same as what is happening in Pingtan Shelter now.
More and more Earth players will learn Blue Star Language.
More and more Blue Star Aboriginal people will learn Chinese or English and other communication languages.
"My dearest ally, leader of the Western Suburbs Alliance, you are finally here!"
As soon as the airship landed, Hunter Tiger rushed over without hesitation.
He first bowed slightly, then took out a garland from somewhere, and gently placed it on Somo's head under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes.
The size is just right, even if you exercise vigorously, it may not fall off immediately.
“I, Hunter Tiger, am the twenty-ninth generation manager of Pingtan Sanctuary!”
"On behalf of all the residents, welcome your arrival!"
Yehu bent down again, this time much larger than last time.
I almost got down on one knee.
"Trouble."
Sumo nodded gently, showing a kind smile.
When the two people held their right hands tightly together, someone immediately ran out from behind the viewing team.
Click. A flash of light burst out in the morning sun.
Looking at the perfect photo he took, the resident responsible for recording couldn’t help but grin.
I didn’t expect that the metal aging disaster would be so serious, but this old antique handed down from ‘ancient times’ could still be used.
He handed the developed photo below to Yehu and quietly pressed the negative to save it.
The recorder has no other ideas. He simply wants to save as many commemorative negatives as possible before the memory space is used up, so that he can remember them when he gets old.
However, what he didn't expect was that it was this film that recorded the first official visit of Somo of the Western Suburbs Alliance.
When he wanted to sell the camera a few years later, the value of his collection was comparable to that of an entire shelter for 100,000 people!
Of course, this is a later story.
After exchanging pleasantries with Liehu at the door, Sumo couldn't wait to walk towards the conspicuous door.
Speaking of it, a few months ago, he was still planning how to sneak into this shelter secretly to detect the gopher man's information.
But no one expected it.
Today, the first time I entered this place, I was officially invited by the shelter manager.
It can be said that it is fate that plays a trick on people.
"This is our first underground line of defense, used to block sudden attacks from enemies. Well, this is the sixth time we have rebuilt it. Last time we were almost rushed in by the guys from the harbor."
Stepping into Pingtan Shelter, there are obvious bullet marks on the walls of several passages.
Xiehu did not shy away from suspicion and introduced the source of these bullet marks in a nonchalant manner.
Some of them were left over from the civil strife in the shelter hundreds of years ago, when two groups of people clashed with each other.
Some were left by bold looters who wanted to sneak into the shelter, but were found and taken here to be shot.
In addition, there are more external battles, large and small.
Those cunning and cruel enemies invaded here and fought with the defenders of the refuge.
“In the dispute more than ten years ago, the enemy had even broken through this line of defense. If I hadn’t killed the previous manager and detonated the bomb decisively, otherwise the Pingtan Shelter would have been destroyed by now. The owner has changed.”
There were originally many passages leading to the ground and underground, but they were all destroyed by Hunting Tiger’s bold behavior.
Many of what remains today were built with great difficulty.
Looking at the traces left by these years, Sumo stretched out his hand and touched it, and suddenly sighed.
“Have those enemies not considered blowing up this place?”
“Of course not.” Liehu shook his head decisively: “Blue Star’s previous war purposes were completely different from what they are now. The war broke out for profit. If more benefits cannot be obtained after the war is over, then the good days of the initiators of the war will be almost over.”
The enemy of the enemy is also waiting. The opportunity comes.
After the war is over, there will only be losses, and then there will be opportunities for those hungry wolves in the dark.
"But not all wars are like this. There are also many people who are more arrogant. For these people, if you dare to mess with me, then I will drag you to death even if I have to sacrifice everything."
< br>"Are you introducing yourself?"
Yehu shook his head with a silly smile and did not answer Sumo's rhetorical question.
There is no lethality in speaking harshly, and the past record is enough to prove everything.
The forces that dared to take the idea of Pingtan Sanctuary had already been killed by him using various means.
Even the residents of those forces were packaged into slaves by him, or sold to Foundation merchant ships, or given to the surrounding cities where there was a shortage of people to work.
And this is also the reason why few people in the entire Qinggang City dare to provoke the hunting tiger.
Although he is old now, no one knows in which war Yehu's last madness will be used.
“This is the second line of defense. It was newly added after I became the manager. It was originally intended to be a maze for the enemies to mess around in, but in the end it was unfinished due to the huge amount of work. It’s like this.”
The main entrance of Pingtan Shelter has more defense facilities than the side entrance on the seventh floor.
After leaving the passage, they entered an abandoned garbage dump that looked like an outpost.
There are a lot of construction waste piled in the corner, and there is a thick layer of ash on the ground that has not been cleaned up.
“No one usually walks here?”
“No, few people walk through the main entrance, it’s too troublesome.”
The entrance to Pingtan Shelter is In a corner of this garbage dump, the entrance gate is disguised as a garbage recycling site.
Yehu struggled to push away the debris piled in front of the door, and the dust that was thrown up made the people behind him cough repeatedly.
But after opening the door, it immediately became much cleaner.
It is a large space, about two hundred square meters.
The ground is carved with dense patterns, with a huge two-headed cow pattern carved in the middle. One wall is carved with difficult to understand hieroglyphics, some of which look like rooms used to worship faith.
“This is the last line of defense. Don’t think it’s simple. In fact, there is a big bomb buried underneath. Once it detonates, the entire shelter will collapse. This is our last resort!”< br>
Not sure if it was true or not, Yehu took the initiative to walk in front and touched the horns on the ground.
Creak.
The wall carved with hieroglyphics suddenly shrank inward, and a small door for passage appeared at the corner.
Since it is not a place for transporting goods, the door is not big enough and can barely fit three people together.
Following the footsteps of Yehu, Sumo walked into this door.
Considering the future construction of Tianyuan Underground City, Sumo felt that it was necessary to write down the structure here.
The good ones become part of the dungeon, and the bad ones serve as negative case warnings.
But it's a pity. As the vision suddenly became clear, I looked at the interior of the Sunny Port Shelter.
Sumo still had a disappointed expression on his face.
The dark ‘hui’-shaped building structure extends downward from the ground, looking like a mine.
Moreover, there is no elevator in Pingtan Shelter, and there is a walking spiral corridor in the middle.
Stand on the edge and look down, whether it is the ground or the walls, or where the structures are connected.
There are traces of time everywhere, and the air is filled with a dead smell that even the exhaust fan can't remove.
Coupled with the dim lighting and the complete lack of consideration for noise management.
The rumbling sounds echoed together, making the brain hurt.
To be honest, the environment here is really not as good as a prison on Earth, let alone compared with Tianyuan Dungeon, especially the B6 floor produced by the system!
“So I’ve said it a long time ago, don’t have any expectations for these shelters that have been passed down for hundreds of years. The level of civilization here may not be as good as the piles of ruins on the ground.”
Xiehu whispered softly He explained, with an expected expression on his face.
This familiar disappointment is not only reflected in Soma, but also in those wanderers and plunderers who enter the underground shelter for the first time.
Human beings have too many expectations for this underground emergency facility.
What kind of black technology, what kind of underground living space, what kind of underground city.
If you think about it carefully, these large and small shelters were built with private money more than two hundred years ago.
Even if you are a wealthy entrepreneur, how much money can you have?
Building such an underground building is already amazing enough, but asking for anything else is simply beyond the capabilities of these people.
In other words, people with this ability do not need to build shelters at all. They are already standing at the top of Blue Star and are the operators of this war.
Do traders need to hide like gophers?
The answer is yes.
"Let's go, there's nothing to visit in these residential levels above. I'll take you down to see the places that are really worth visiting. That's where the real soul of the underground shelter lies!"
