Chapter 530 Official Survival Base
Chapter 530 Official Survival Base
He discovered many more interesting and capable racing teams like this later on.
In the frozen wasteland of the north, there is a city built underground, which should be considered a survival base.
Their survival base is even more like a survival base than the City of Fire, filled with a pre-apocalyptic Russian style.
The entrance is a vertical shaft covered with thick steel plates, with densely packed steel ladders welded to the shaft walls, extending dozens of meters underground.
The shaft is only opened once every few days, and Xu Si only discovered this place by chance.
The underground space of the shaft was much larger than Xu Si had imagined, and even Xu Si's senses were largely blocked.
If it weren't for the sunlight shining into the bottom of the shaft, he wouldn't even be able to see what was inside.
The shaft was divided into various rooms of different sizes, including living areas, storage areas, planting areas, and even a rudimentary medical room.
People live, work, and reproduce in the underground city, like a group of seeds buried underground, waiting for the day they will sprout.
Their food source relies almost entirely on hydroponics and photoponics, requiring absolutely no soil.
There weren't many of them, but each one was assigned to the most critical positions, and most of them were Sequence 5 or Sequence 6. These must be remnants from before the apocalypse.
As for whether there will be higher sequences, Xu Si believes there will be.
This is the first truly official survival base that Xu Si discovered.
Upon this discovery, Xu Si perked up, thinking that the infrastructure level of the Russian country was such that they could have such a survival base.
Then there must be hidden survival bases in the Great Xia Dynasty, and even more of them.
It's just that no one has ever noticed it.
Xu Si swept away the sunlight bit by bit, inch by inch.
Before the apocalypse, the authorities would definitely not have left the "cryogenic plan" as their only contingency plan.
Previously, he had been using the Star Mirror haphazardly, but now Xu Si had time to sort out the possible anomalies one by one.
At that moment, he seemed like a creator with God's perspective.
Sure enough, he soon discovered several anomalies.
To the east of the City of Fire lies an endless sea.
On the edge of the sea, there was a small mountain. In the heart of the mountain, he "saw" a heavy alloy gate. The gate was covered with a thick layer of concrete camouflage, blending seamlessly with the mountain. Unless one deliberately explored, it would be impossible to discover its existence.
Beyond the gate lies a deep tunnel that extends straight downwards, with an emergency light emitting a faint, almost extinguished glow every few meters along the walls on both sides.
At the end of the tunnel was a thicker blast door, with markings on it that were now blurred.
Xu Si's senses continued to extend inward, and behind the door was a spacious area divided into dozens of compartments.
There are generator sets, air circulation systems, hydroponic planting racks, supply warehouses, and even a small hospital.
But Xu Si frowned slightly.
There were people here, but not many; he sensed only about forty or fifty.
Moreover, their life force is extremely weak, so weak that it is almost imperceptible.
Perhaps it's because that gate has never been opened since the apocalypse.
They huddled in the darkness, their faces gaunt and their eyes vacant.
Although their supplies are enough to meet their daily needs, people will develop problems if they stay in that environment for too long.
Xu Si felt that they were waiting for death.
Perhaps if they could open the floodgates and face the apocalypse directly, their situation would be much better.
Meanwhile, on another plateau, at the bottom of its canyon, Xu Si discovered another, even larger underground facility.
This place is more complete and better preserved than the survival base in Russia; it could even be called an underground city.
The alloy gate was tightly closed, the internal and external pressure balancing system was still operating, and the air circulation system maintained a low hum.
The interior lights were also on normally.
The city has at least a thousand people, all dressed in uniform, moving in unison, and displaying strict discipline, clearly official personnel.
This city clearly still retains the rules governing the operation of human civilization.
But if they can establish a survival base, why don't they contact other convoys?
Why did they choose to hide instead of talking, even though their convoy had already established a survival base?
The conditions for establishing a survival base are not demanding. As long as the human presence can be perfectly concealed, there is a prerequisite for building a survival base.
Before the apocalypse, with its large population, this was not a difficult task, whether relying on artifacts or sequences.
But why had he never heard of it before?
But why do they never report it?
Xu Si's mind was in turmoil.
Now that this place has been discovered, it means there are far more than just this one.
Xu Si's senses lingered above that underground city for a long time.
They have the ability to sweep away the strange things in the surrounding area, and also the ability to multiply and thrive.
This is a complete ecological society.
Everything is in order.
As Xu Si searched more thoroughly, he discovered two other survival bases.
It is certain that these three survival bases were all established by the Great Xia government.
Moreover, the scale of these events exceeds a thousand people.
The human and material resources required far exceeded expectations.
He also discovered a dilapidated survival base.
Its specifications are comparable to the other three locations, suggesting it was discovered and breached through mysterious means.
Xu Si's senses hovered over the dilapidated survival base for a long time.
Unlike the other three places, there are no dim lights, no deep mechanical hum, no neat uniforms, and no orderly living scenes here.
All that remained was deathly silence.
The alloy gate was twisted, deformed, and broken, like a piece of iron that had been twisted and crushed by a huge force. The concrete camouflage layer on the surface of the gate had long since been peeled off, revealing the rusty metal skeleton underneath.
The tunnel behind the gate had collapsed most of the way, with rubble and mud blocking the passage, leaving only a narrow gap that was barely wide enough to crawl through.
Xu Si's senses extended inward along that crack.
The dilapidated underground city lay silent in the darkness, its power supply long since collapsed and all the emergency lights extinguished.
Only the faint, blood-red sunlight seeping in through the collapse cast pale, dust-blurred patches of light on the ground.
The walls inside the city were covered with grotesque claw marks, varying in depth and length. Some were left by claws, some by tentacles, and some were completely unrecognizable.
Scattered on the ground were broken glass, twisted metal components, rotting fabrics, and a large number of skeletal remains, eroded by time and reduced to mere outlines.
Some people die on the way forward, some die on the way to escape, and some die on the way to try to close the doors and windows.
They held onto their final poses, like a group of silhouettes frozen in time.
His consciousness transcended those frozen moments of death, extending into the deepest recesses of the city.
There is a core area there, sealed off by heavy iron gates.
The iron gate had been smashed open, the metal panels flipped outwards like a torn iron flower. The space behind the gate was much larger than he had imagined, like a hollowed-out mountain belly, or a meticulously designed underground fortress.
It once held a large amount of supplies, but most of them have rotted, become moldy, and lost their value due to the erosion of time.
Only a few sealed containers in the corner contained canned food that was still within its expiration date.
Xu Si's senses paused for a moment.
He is now Sequence 8, and has a perception of time and space that is different from that of ordinary people.
This place is quite suitable for Nirvana to evolve again.
