Chapter 174: Survivors of the mine disaster

Although the relationship between Xiao Lei and Qi Lin was just a roommate, Qi Lin was deeply puzzled by this kid's abnormal behavior.
In this era, words such as visits and travel can only be seen in the tattered old-time magazines and books. The average slum residents, unless they are to receive fixed-rate living supplies or go to the black market to trade. Most people do "home squats"—not only because they consume less energy in their homes, but also for safety reasons.
In some corners of the black market, there is a butcher shop that specializes in selling processed dried meat. The price is nearly half cheaper than that of pork in the regular market. There is no obvious trace of radiation sickness on it, but Qi Lin never Will buy it because he knows where the "meat" comes from.
"You guy... I hope I don't let me see you in the black butcher shop..." Qi Lin hurriedly ate something, then left the residence and went straight to the underground black market.
The rebellion in Vault 188 has been quelled. Therefore, life in Vault 187 has returned to normal. The black market is still full of people, but there are many fewer old faces and many new ones. face.
Xiao Lei has never been to the underground black market. Sometimes Qi Lin has something to ask him to purchase materials to the official material trading market designated by the shelter. Many businessmen in the black market know Qi Lin, but they certainly don't know Xiao Lei.
However, if you want to inquire about a person's whereabouts, there will often be more intelligence and information in the black market.
As soon as Qi Lin walked into the black market, a gun dealer who knew him greeted him: "Hey, sight, I haven't seen you coming for a long time recently, how about it? Have you made any good products for you guys to see? , My buddy's bid will definitely not lose you!"
Qi Lin smiled at the big beard, who was dressed like an old American western cowboy, and said, "I have been squatting at home these days to deal with that game. I just came out today."
"Tsk, with your abilities, you can surely be able to get along well in the'Wasteland' world, right? But buddy, I can only occasionally spend some extra time, and sometimes I have to put points into the game in exchange for survival resources— —" The gun dealer played with the Colt m1873 border shooter he regarded as a treasure in his hand. If he adds a cowboy hat, this one can be the protagonist of the old westerns.
"It's okay, what's the news lately?" Qi Lin took out two compressed cigarettes from his pocket, and threw one at the other side.
After the war, the level of information dissemination of mankind has regressed for nearly hundreds of years. Newspapers and magazines have long been a legacy of the previous era. To obtain new information, you can only rely on word of mouth among people, or It is a big propaganda screen set up in the middle of the material trading market.
"News? Yes! The previous group of rebels is probably desperate. Te Niang's actually used powerful weapons. Fortunately, we are lucky. The rebels only bombed most of the rich area and half of the middle area. The clean-up work has been digging for several days. It is said that a mine tunnel that was buried by the accident was dug the day before yesterday, and there are still living people inside!" The gun dealer said loudly, and all the stars splashed on his beard.
"Huh? Mine?" Qi Lin was taken aback, he felt that he could already guess what Xiao Lei was doing.
"Yes, this matter has been spreading in several nearby refuges in the past two days. It is said that the group of people lived under the mine for more than half a year. At first they were buried in dozens of people. In the end they were rescued alive. There are less than ten left."
More than half a year ago... Isn't this just the time when Xiao Lei's parents had an accident? As for the mineral vein, there is only one here, and the two refuges 187 and 188 are being mined at the same time.
In this case, the survivors who were rescued should be the
diggers
who were believed to have died in the accident. Xiao Lei must have gone to his parents after hearing the news in the market. , It’s just that I don’t know if there are any of his parents among the remaining survivors...
"But...how did those people survive for half a year? Even if there is enough food and water in the mine, and there is not enough oxygen, those people, let alone more than half a year, can't hold on for a week?" Qi Lin is full of belly Doubts, it is almost impossible to survive for more than half a year in such a desperate situation.
"Oxygen...come here, quietly...I'm the exclusive news..." The gun dealer and Qi Lin beckoned. After Qi Lin approached him, he whispered, "It is said that the survivors found something in the ground. Matter, like the photosynthesis of plants, can turn carbon dioxide into oxygen, but it doesn’t need sunlight. Of course, I’ve only heard of it, but the reliability is very high. Not only did the troops not withdraw from Vault 188, but during this period of time. I have tuned a lot from various places again-think about it, if there is such a thing, this is a baby!"
Qi Lin nodded in agreement. Oxygen circulation has always been the most important thing in the refuge. It is no less important than food production and sewage purification. If this new substance is really discovered, it may be okay. Delay the limit time for people to return to the ground for a while.
However, in this way, Refuge No. 188 must be in a state of full martial law, not to mention whether Xiao Lei's parents are still alive, he wants to see the survivors, it is estimated that he will have to go through many difficulties.
It is impossible for Qi Lin to go to evacuation No. 188 now. According to the gun dealer, after the news came, just yesterday, the evacuation center officially closed the passage between the two refuges temporarily, and only allowed Railcars transporting supplies pass.
Xiao Lei is going to find his parents. The risks in this can be said to be extremely great. Let alone the dangers that may be encountered on the road, if he is there, if he fails to make up his own game time within a week, it is very likely. Will fall into the dilemma of losing supplies.
In other words ~EbookFREE.me~ If Xiao Lei fails to find his parents, the possibility of coming back is infinitely close to zero.
Qi Lin sighed. This kind of thing is not something he can control. Although he can be regarded as an orphan without a father or mother, he can understand the kind of affection between others and his parents—even if Xiao Lei does it. When this decision was made, he was not in the game, and he probably couldn't stop him.
This is the end of the matter, Qi Lin can only wish Xiao Lei good luck in his heart.
"By the way, apart from this, there is a big news, but it is in the game. An hour ago, those Koreans in the north took advantage of a blizzard and attacked a Russian furry city on the edge of the tundra. It’s hot, it’s said that the number of melees has exceeded 30,000, and it has attracted many mutant creatures. Most of the permafrost tundra has become a mess."
An hour ago? This happens to be when Qi Lin just went offline, but for the players in China, the war between Maozi and Bangzi has little to do with them, unless...
"I heard that several consortia based in the north in the game are secretly recruiting troops, planning to collect a wave of profits. If the sight is in the north in the game world? I think if you go to join those big consortia, with Your craftsmanship is sure to worry about eating and drinking!"
