Late at night, Gu Zhuo was lying on the bed tossing and turning. Sam was at the foot of his bed, already asleep. Chao Ying was sleeping on the single bed formed by lowering the table in the living room.
Gu Zhuo recalled what Chaoying had said to him, about her "mathematician".
As she said, Chaoying's "mathematician" seems to be of no use in surviving the apocalypse. The ability of the "mathematician" is that it can perform various rapid operations on numbers in the mind, and based on the logic between the numbers
relationships and quickly deduce various mathematical formulas.
In a peaceful time, this ability would be enough for her to become the second Ramanujan and win various honors. However, in a doomsday survival situation, it would be almost useless.
But as if destined, she met Gu Zhuo, whose "mathematician" ability perfectly combined with Gu Zhuo's "machinist" ability.
If a "machinist" wants to upgrade the Doomsday Fortress, he must have detailed design drawings. The fantasy designer at the time just stepped on the shoulders of his predecessors, borrowed their technological ideas, and drew a picture for Gu Zhuo
design diagram.
If Gu Zhuo now wants to upgrade the Doomsday Fortress to a more advanced level, he must first overcome some theoretical knowledge. It is as if Einstein was the first to come up with the mass-energy equation formula, that is, e=mc2. With the theoretical support of this formula
, then nuclear weapons were created.
In other words, as long as Chaoying can design some functions in theory and draw drawings, then once he has enough materials, the "machinist" can bring them into reality.
This is simply a perfect combination of powerful forces joining forces with black technology!
In addition to learning about Chaoying's "mathematician" ability, she also made some speculations about the end of the world.
So far, whether it is Gu Zhuo or Chao Ying, the other person is the first person they have met who can predict the end of the world. Moreover, they both have some kind of ability that is completely different from normal humans, which can be called super powers.
Chaoying speculated based on the government's performance a while before the doomsday that there should be people among the top management who could predict the doomsday. But for some unknown reason, the top management chose to abandon the people and only allowed a small part of humanity to have the chance to do so.
a chance to survive.
Although there is no way to know more information, these are not the most important things at the moment. The most important thing now is to survive. Only by living can we have the opportunity to explore all the truth.
Gu Zhuo raised his head and looked at the window above his head that was blocked by a privacy panel. He sat up and opened the privacy panel. The darkness outside the window immediately came into view. The snow was still falling, and in the dark night, the wind and snow were faint.
, seem to form a giant beast, which makes people feel infinite fear in their hearts.
Not knowing when the snow would stop, Gu Zhuo's mood became heavier and heavier. He closed the privacy board again, not wanting to take another look at the hellish scene of ice and snow outside.
In the living room, Chaoying was wrapped in a quilt and lying on the lift bed. She was not used to being alone in a strange environment, so she was not sleepy at all.
There was a sharp military dagger placed under her pillow, within easy reach of her hand.
Although after preliminary confirmation, Gu Zhuo did not have any dangerous thoughts about herself, but just in case, and as a long-term habit, she would still keep the military dagger by her side at all times.
Of course, Chaoying's dagger was only used for self-defense. After all, hurting Gu Zhuo would not do her any good.
According to Gu Zhuo, the Doomsday Fortress is completely controlled by his "mechanic" mind, and others cannot even open the Doomsday Fortress's car door without his instructions.
Chaoying believes what Gu Zhuo says. After all, this doomsday fortress can be said to have taken into account all aspects. If it can be robbed so easily by others, it might as well be a bank safe that can be used by people.
It's safer and more practical.
After adapting to the darkness, Chaoying took stock of his environment.
Warm air conditioning, windproof body, a suitable size of space, and basically no sound of wind and snow outside. This is an environment hundreds of times better than the one I lived in before.
"It would be great if Chaoyang can hold on for a few more days. If it can hold on for a few more days, we can..."
Thinking of Chaoyang, Chaoying's eyes became lonely. But soon, she breathed a sigh of relief and regained her indifferent expression.
She will definitely survive for her mother who has passed away long ago, and Chaoyang!
When both of them had different thoughts, the night passed so unconsciously, and changes in the world came quietly without them noticing.
In the morning, the alarm clock just rang, and Gu Zhuo, who had been sleeping lightly, immediately woke up from bed. There was still a lot to do today, including discussing with Chaoying the specific direction of the Doomsday Fortress' transformation, and finding factories on the map that stored a large amount of steel materials.
Determining the route of travel...these are urgent matters.
He habitually opened the privacy panel and took a look at the outside world. Who would have thought that the moment the privacy panel was opened, Gu Zhuo was shocked.
He rubbed his eyes, thinking he was still awake, but the scene in front of him did not change at all:
Overnight, the snow stopped!
In order to verify the scene in front of him, he quickly opened the window. When the window was opened, the air-conditioning poured in mercilessly from the outside, making Gu Zhuo shiver. But the cold did not attract Gu Zhuo's focus. He stretched out his hand,
Not a single snowflake was caught.
The snow has really stopped!
Gu Zhuo quickly closed the window, washed briefly, then immediately opened the bedroom door and walked straight to the living room. By this time, Chao Ying had already woken up, finished washing, and moved the single bed back up.
"Chaoying, come here quickly and take a look!"
Gu Zhuo couldn't help but push open the privacy panel in front of the window on one side of the living cabin, opened the window, and called Chaoying.
Chaoying walked to the window and saw through the window that although the world outside was still covered with a heavy layer of snow, the snow had stopped. Like Gu Zhuo, she stretched out her hand and felt nothing except the biting cold air.
The feeling of tiny snowflakes blooming in the palm of your hand.
The snow has stopped, which means that this cold winter will eventually pass. After the cold winter, there is hope.
But before Chaoying could wait longer, Gu Zhuo poured cold water on her:
"Although the cold winter will pass, there will be other doomsday crises waiting for us after the cold winter. Have you listened to the government broadcast?"
Hearing this, Chao Ying turned to look at him and shook his head:
"When did the government release the broadcast? I bought a hand-crank radio before, but the apocalypse happened for so many days, and I never heard any broadcast."
"That's right. On the day of the government broadcast, something happened to you and you didn't hear it properly."
As he said that, Gu Zhuo closed the window to prevent the cold air from seeping in. Then he got a hand-cranked radio, the two of them sat in the living room, and he cranked the handle of the radio.
Such important news seemed to be played in rotation every day, just in case someone didn't hear it. After shaking it for a while, the sound of electricity came from the radio again, as well as the vicissitudes of the man's voice.
I don’t know if it’s because the snow stopped today, but the signal seems to be a little better than the last time I listened.
The content was exactly the same as what Gu Zhuo heard.
After listening to the content on the radio, Chaoying's face was obviously not very good: he thought he was surviving from a desperate situation, but he didn't expect that he was just facing a deeper despair!
"Drought...flood...is this God trying to destroy humanity?"
Chaoying murmured to himself, Gu Zhuo also stopped moving his hands, and the sound on the radio gradually stopped.
"Gu Zhuo, how long will the water stored in your fortress be enough for us?"
Chaoying suddenly raised his head and asked him.
"It's not a problem for me to use it for a year and a half alone. If I add you and save a little, I should be able to last for about a year. Besides, it's been snowing heavily these days. My fortress is equipped with an ultra-pure water filter. These snow
It’s all turned into enough water for us to use.”
Hearing this, Chaoying continued to ask:
"Where are the supplies?"
"In terms of supplies, the food stored is enough to feed me and my dog for three years. With you, it will definitely last for two years!"
Hearing this, Chao Ying nodded, but then she thought of something and said:
"There is never too much supplies, only too little! Let's go back to the gas station and supermarket now. Before others can react, we will move all the supplies in the supermarket to the fortress of doom! When they react, we will grab all the other supplies.
After the supermarket, we will think of gas stations, and by then we will be too late!"
Chaoying's expression was serious, as if he had thought of the scene where people were frantically looting supermarkets after receiving the government broadcast.
Gu Zhuo also thought of something and answered her:
"Indeed. By the way, you still need to get some personal hygiene products."
Gu Zhuo is right, there is still a chance to get food and water, but once a few more doomsday crises happen and all kinds of production and industry are stagnant, there will be no chance to get disposable items like sanitary products.
arrive.
Sometimes in harsh environments, what really kills people is not the lack of supplies, but poor sanitary conditions, which breed bacteria and lead to various diseases.
At that time, Gu Zhuo thought that he was the only one living in the Doomsday Fortress with one dog. He never thought that there could be more than one woman, so he naturally did not prepare any sanitary products specifically for women.
He took out two sacks from the storage box and handed them to Chaoying, then took the air gun and laser sword with him. Chaoying took the two sacks and saw Gu Zhuo get into the driver's seat.
Inside the cabin, Chaoying followed closely behind and got into the cockpit with him.
As soon as he sat on the cockpit and saw the densely packed and neatly arranged buttons and switches, Chaoying felt as if what Gu Zhuo was driving was not a doomsday fortress but a spaceship.
"seat belt!"
As Gu Zhuo thought, he saw that his waist and Chao Ying's waist were immediately tied up with seat belts. Chao Ying had just held the two sacks and sat on the passenger seat, but before he could do anything, he felt his waist
There was a tight moment.
Subsequently, Gu Zhuo issued a series of instructions to the Doomsday Fortress through the "Mechanic" in his mind. The Doomsday Fortress was activated and an image was displayed on the screen.
"Let's go to the supermarket at the gas station!"
Seeing Gu Zhuo's smooth movements, from automatically fastening the seat belt to starting the Doomsday Fortress, which took less than five seconds in total, Chaoying could not help but believe even more that Gu Zhuo had not lied to her: the Doomsday Fortress was completely owned by him.
