"Dr. Wu, how do you feel?" Alia, who looked much more mature, had short hair and wore suspender shorts. She stood next to the dormant cabin and handed a mirror to Wu Qianying: "It's NC-10 now.
On September 16th, you have been sleeping for three years."
"Three years?" Wu Qianying sat up from the hibernation chamber, took the mirror and looked at her face carefully: "I remember Chris said that ultra-low temperature preservation can help lock in moisture in the skin. What do you think?"
"Doctor, you are the most authoritative person in this field. Do we really need to refer to Chris's opinion?" Aria sighed. Ten years have passed. In terms of age alone, she is now almost the same as Chris.
She is as old as Wu Qianying.
"Can't smart women have some illusions about the beauty effects of occult science? Alia, you live your life too dogmatically." Wu Qianying looked at her body with satisfaction, and then put on the lightweight clothes specially designed for shelter researchers.
uniform.
"Dr. Wu, this is a shelter. Even breathing has a cost." Aria smiled and handed her personal PDA to Wu Qianying: "According to your request, you need to be awakened when an A-level incident occurs, so I
The wake-up procedure was performed."
"What happened?" Wu Qianying glanced at the messages on the PDA. The top ones were basically various academic and technical problems stored by Aria. She usually pointed out some obvious mistakes and said a few more.
own ideas and not personally involved in the subject.
“The Valentino Shelter is trying to build a passage to the Haywood Shelter, which involves a surface path with a total distance of more than two kilometers. At present, they have completed the first half of the installation of nearly 800 meters of safety ropes.
"Alia simply explained: "It took them four months, and on average they were able to complete the laying of three to four safety rope suspension frames every day. It cost a lot, but they are indeed taking action on the surface."
"Is there any deviation in the attenuation model of large storms?" Wu Qianying looked at the high-definition pictures transmitted from the satellite images and turned around to ask.
Yes, they have satellites available again. Mikkelsen used the resources of Amarobhati to build a satellite launch center in the JH area, and spent a huge cost to place several satellites in earth orbit.
"Three points faster than expected, but there is additional attenuation in some local areas, most obvious in the Night City area." Aria said with some excitement in her tone: "Dr. Wu, do you think Tang Ji is here?
A major storm?"
"I don't know. There is no actual evidence that Tang Ji is directly related to the big storm." Wu Qianying shook her head. Another reason why she fell into a deep sleep was that research on big storms required massive data support, and she was trapped in
The speed of collecting data on people in the shelter is calculated in years, and Wu Qianying doesn't want to waste time waiting.
"How many people did they die?" Wu Qianying looked at the unobvious man-made safety line in the picture, sighed at the tenacity of human beings, and then asked.
"On average, one person is lost every fifty meters." Aria said with some regret. As she grew older, Aria became more mature. She was not so hostile to the forces divided by gangs in the past, but instead
They see each other as another refuge.
Now, the Valentino Shelter is proving with great perseverance and determination that the time for humans to return to the surface is just around the corner.
The main cause of death or disappearance of members of the Valentino shelter is the sharp metal debris that appears from time to time in major storms. Those debris may come from shredded cars, factories and other areas. They are so small and irregular.
are scattered in large storms, and it is difficult to predict their appearance in advance.
But every time they swept across, they would severely polish all the protruding parts of the area they passed.
When the Oak Ridge Shelter tried to launch a rescue operation, it encountered this kind of metal storm. As a result, the Beamon retreated in embarrassment as soon as it went out. Later, it was abandoned because the metal debris containing radiation could not be cleaned up.
Already.
"Currently, 76 of the 1,019 shelters around the world are experiencing some shortage of supplies. We urgently need to avoid the interference of the big storm and use dimensional doors to establish logistics connections between shelters." Ai
Lea handed a problem to Wu Qianying: "I tried my best, but I'm not you, Dr. Wu. I don't know where to start. Even Wang Zhengdao is still trapped in Shelter 176 and can't go back..."
"Is he still in Shelter 176?" Wu Qianying was stunned for a moment and then laughed, and directly used her own authority to initiate a video connection with Wang Zhengdao from the PDA.
Thanks to Aria's efforts over the years, the communication situation between the shelters is much easier than before. As long as it is not during a period of raging storms, we can basically maintain contact at all times.
"Long time no see, Wang Zhengdao, I heard that you are still in Shelter 176. Can you go back?" This communication system was developed by Wu Qianying. Naturally, she has the highest authority. Whether Wang Zhengdao is willing or not, she will carry out the transmission.
The videos are all turned on.
"Wu Qianying?!" In the video, Lao Wang was working hard with others on the bed. Wu Qianying's voice appeared from the table and almost frightened him to death. He turned around while holding the quilt.
"Did I come at a bad time?" Wu Qianying waved her hand, and Alia, the current scientific leader of Shelter Zero, went to make coffee.
"You...forget it, why did you suddenly wake up?" The number of frames in Lao Wang's video did not exceed 20, and packets were constantly being lost. It was obvious that a big storm was covering the area where Shelter 176 was located.
"Let the irrelevant people go away, I have something to ask you." Wu Qianying got her coffee, walked to her familiar position, sat on it gracefully, kicked off the table, turned the wheelchair and slid to the other end of the room.
, letting her face a virtual scene window, where a scene of sand, waves and palm trees on a Hawaiian beach before the apocalypse was projected.
"Give me some time, I need to turn this thing around first." Lao Wang said as he suddenly appeared on the side of the camera, turned his PDA around, then started to get dressed, and motioned to the woman on the bed.
Let the other person leave first.
He has been here for more than three years, and he cannot live like a robot.
The life in the shelter has made many people let go of their reserve. Many women are very willing to sleep with a superhuman and hope that they can also have a superhuman baby.
They do not believe in the so-called probability science at all, even though Wu Qianying has long proved that the awakening of superhuman beings has nothing to do with genetics. Instead of expecting this, it is better to wait for mutations at the radiation source every day, which is more likely.
Although there is no extra care for superhumans in the shelter, superhumans themselves are a privilege. They will always use their abilities and earn an easy salary.
"Okay, I've got it done here." Wang Zhengdao sat at the table and looked at Wu Qianying and said hello formally, "What can I provide?"
"What is the current situation of space disturbance? Is it more serious than when you came, or has it weakened?" Wu Qianying asked the first question.
"It's slightly weakened, but it's difficult to locate targets more than fifty kilometers away." Wang Zhengdao closed his eyes and felt it before answering.
"Describe to me again what you felt when you went to Vault 176." Wu Qianying took a sip of coffee and continued to ask.
"It was as if a bright light suddenly appeared in the fog, illuminating the surrounding passages. Although no changes could be felt elsewhere, a passage had been formed between Shelter 176 and me." Wang Zhengdao recalled,
He gave the same answer as before: "The man-made traces are very obvious, and it must be related to Tang Ji!"
Wu Qianying just nodded silently. She was very sure that Tang Ji was not dead. Tang Anran was still in Mikkelsen's hands. Even if that man went to hell, he would still climb up from below with his own hands, just like
He's done it before.
"I need you to take a risk, Wang Zhengdao." Wu Qianying said her plan with a smile.
The message Annie sent her in her dream gave Wu Qianying a sense of crisis. If Mikkelsen really planned to attack the Seven Deadly Sins, she must come up with a plan to deal with it.
An unchecked Mikkelsen is not in her interest, nor in the interest of humanity.
"How to take risks?" Wang Zhengdao frowned. He was far away in Vault 176 and had little information. He didn't know many things, but he could judge what must have happened recently through Wu Qianying's words.
"I need you to take a risk and go to the surface." Wu Qianying smiled and said what she needed Wang Zhengdao to do: "Without protective equipment."
"Why?" Lao Wang's brows wrinkled into a knot. This job didn't sound normal.
"I want to know if miracles will continue to happen." Wu Qianying directly stated her purpose: "Originally, I could also test it, but who told you to resist for a while longer."
"Actually, I have always supported giving priority to ladies, doctor." Lao Wang sighed, and then said in an authoritative manner: "So, you want to risk my life to test whether Tang Ji is awake? Isn't he a little too anxious?
I mean...what if Tang Ji happens to fall asleep at this moment, or his attention is not here?"
Wu Qianying just looked at him with a smile. Lao Wang knew that Wu Qianying usually put on this expression, which meant that I had marked a path anyway. If you don't follow my path, if something happens in the future, don't regret it.
"Now?" Wang Zhengdao finally chose to believe Wu Qianying's judgment. If she thought that the recent situation had deteriorated to the point where it was necessary to prove that Tang Ji was still active, then something must have happened.
"It doesn't matter now, or tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, but Rome didn't collapse in a day." Wu Qianying shrugged and stopped talking, but she didn't end the video either.
Lao Wang sighed. He really had nothing to do in Vault 176. He had almost wasted three years of his life. If he hadn't felt the intensity of interference in the air every day, he would have flown back long ago.
"I will first jump to the ruins of a building northwest of Shelter 176 to see if Tang Ji will give me preferential treatment." Wang Zhengdao found some tight-fitting clothes and put on tactical goggles: "Finally
The target will be the Oak Ridge Shelter next door. If I arrive successfully, I will call you."
Wu Qianying nodded, and then watched Lao Wang close the call.
"Do we really want Wang Zhengdao to do the test?" Aria looked at Wu Qianying with some surprise: "Are you too anxious? Is it too dangerous?"
"He can't die. The maximum wind near Shelter 176 today was level 18. If he can't be killed, he will suffer a little at most. Let's see if Tang Ji has any conscience." Wu Qianying finished the coffee, clicked on the coffee cup, and signaled to Ai
Lea refills.
...
Wang Zhengdao did not say hello to the supervisor of Vault 176. The supervisor was somewhat biased against him, and the two did not get along happily.
He is the new supervisor elected by all the people in the refuge, and Wang Zhengdao is the hero who saved the entire refuge. He has a very high reputation. It makes him very uncomfortable to have such a very prestigious hero by his side, especially in this situation.
When a hero appears suddenly and doesn't plan to leave in a short time.
After all, Wang Zhengdao came so suddenly and timely. After he saved everything, he suddenly told you that he couldn't leave because there was a mysterious interference that only he could sense... Anyway, that little-bellied supervisor
The reporter has never believed in Wang Zhengdao. He always felt that the other party wanted to sit on the throne of supervisor if he stayed.
Wang Zhengdao didn't bring any luggage. Apart from the clothes he was wearing when he came, he only had the parts used to repair the energy core. Naturally, there was nothing worth taking with him when he left.
He took one last look in the mirror, then threw his identity card outside the door, transferred all the shelter points on his PDA to the woman he had met casually before, turned around and left in a dashing way.
Just as Wang Zhengdao said, he appeared in the ruins of a building less than fifty kilometers away from Shelter 176.
According to Wang Zhengdao's memory, this should be the remains of the Auckland War Memorial Museum, but he had no time to observe his surroundings. The never-ending roaring hurricane was like a knife and instantly tore up some of his clothes, and then seemed invisible again.
The giant lifted him up high, and he was up to the sky in a blink of an eye.
Fortunately, Wang Zhengdao reacted quickly. The moment he was blown away by the hurricane, he found a triangular area sheltered from the wind. He directly appeared there using a space jump, and then inserted his two arms into the wall to fix himself.
live.
He wanted to open his mouth and curse Tang Jiying for responding to the situation, but finally gave up the idea. Lao Wang was worried that he would be incompetent when he opened his mouth. He had to bury his head in the gap between his arms and chest to even breathe.
It was hard to breathe in the high-speed flowing air from the surrounding air.
If you have any conscience, just let the wind calm down! Lao Wang shouted in his heart, and then the wind speed began to gradually weaken...
