Chapter 477 Such an Environment
Seeing that Jingtian was willing to go underground with him, Su Wuxian became excited again, as this way he still had a chance to get the medicine.
Su Wuxian directly lifted the wooden board under his feet, revealing a hole that was only wide enough for one person to pass through.
"With such an obvious hole, aren't you afraid that people in the greenhouse area will find it?" Jingtian asked curiously.
"It's nothing to discover. They all know that people in the underground city often go out." Su Wuxian said.
"I see."
I originally thought that Su Wuxian was very mysterious and that they lived underground and were restricted from going out, but now it seems that is not the case.
"Although they don't care much about it, they don't allow people to get close to the greenhouse area because they're afraid that we'll damage the greenhouse." Su Wuxian said again.
"How do you live underground?" Jingtian asked, changing the subject.
"We have reserve grain. We can get some every day. We also go out to collect supplies. Sometimes people from the greenhouse will come to trade with us and exchange some grain for other things. We will also exchange things for some electricity and other things." Su Wuxian said.
After hearing this, Jingtian didn't understand it very well, but he roughly understood that the people in the underground and the greenhouse still had transactions with each other, which could ensure the basic survival .
There are rumors that living conditions in the south are much better than in the north. It seems that this is targeted and people underground can definitely not reach that level.
At least people in the north don’t have to worry about freezing to death outside.
Of course there is still a problem.
"Are there no zombies here?" Jingtian asked.
"Of course there are. They often appear at night and attack the greenhouses, but they are always repelled by the strong men in the greenhouses, and a large number of crystal cores are harvested."
Su Wuxian answered Jingtian's questions while going down the cave.
Jingtian also followed down.
About two meters deep, Jingtian smelled a stale smell.
This is the original city drainage pipe, but it was obviously re-dug and widened later, allowing people to walk normally inside.
After taking a few steps, the light disappeared completely.
"Uncle, if you can't see clearly, just hold my hand and walk for a while and it will be more spacious." Su Wuxian said to Jingtian.
"No, I can see it." Jingtian smiled faintly.
Su Wuxian was not surprised by this. He knew very well that this uncle should be a person with special abilities, and those people with special abilities were not afraid of the dark.
After walking a short distance forward and turning a corner, Jingtian saw the light.
Not the light of a lamp or a fire, but the light that came down from above.
When I got closer and looked up, I found that the manhole cover above had been replaced with transparent glass.
That's not bad.
Less than a few dozen meters forward, Jingtian understood what Su Wuxian meant by the spaciousness.
It turns out they entered the subway!
It is indeed much more spacious here and the smell is lighter.
At this time, "rooms" began to appear on the walls on both sides of the railway tracks.
These are holes dug out of the wall.
Inside the cave, you can see some items on the ground, which should be the beds for people to live in.
Such 'rooms' become more and more densely packed as you move forward.
As for the temperature underground, it is much higher than above. It should be a few degrees above zero, which is not enough to freeze people wearing thin clothes to death.
Occasionally, they saw people, but they did not react to the appearance of Jingtian and Su Wuxian. They were sitting at the door of their respective rooms, looking bored.
"Are outsiders allowed to come in here?" Jingtian asked Su Wuxian in a low voice.
"Yeah, there's nothing here anyway, so whoever wants to come can come, and maybe they can bring us something useful."
Su Wuxian thought of something when he said this, and lowered his voice and said, "There is also a place that you can't go to casually, that is the underground material warehouse. Master Zhou guards it very strictly, and anyone who dares to make a move will be beaten to death."
"Who is Mr. Zhou? A bully?" Jingtian asked.
"No, Grandpa Zhou is a good man. Without him, we would be bullied even more. He brings a group of people with special abilities to protect us." Su Wuxian said quickly.
"Is he a person with special abilities?" Jingtian raised his eyebrows.
Hearing that there was still a person with special abilities willing to protect everyone in this environment, Jingtian really felt that the other person was a good person. There are really not many people like this nowadays.
Of course, Su Wuxian is still young and only looks at the surface of some things. He may not have a thorough understanding of the actual situation, so Jingtian will not comment much.
As the two of them walked along the subway line, they arrived at a subway station after a while. It was obviously more spacious.
However, the spacious space here has also been completely occupied by people.
Rows of small shacks built with wooden boards or planks fill this place.
Rows of shacks are connected together, leaving only a narrow passage in the middle.
There were so many people and it was very noisy, I had no idea what they were talking about.
And above here, there were a few lights on, barely illuminating the place.
The only thing that remains unchanged is that the smell here is getting stronger and stronger.
Su Wuxian told Jingtian that the ventilation door in their underground city would be opened once every two days, and the air would only be circulated for ten minutes each time.
Otherwise, over time, the temperature that the dungeon has accumulated with great difficulty will be completely exhausted.
Even so, every time there was a breath of fresh air, some people with weak constitutions would freeze to death.
On one side was freezing to death, and on the other side was polluted and smelly air. Obviously they chose the latter.
"How many people live here?"
Jingtian originally felt that there would be quite a few people underground, but now he felt that he might have underestimated the number of people in this underground city.
This is the case for any subway station, so it is obviously impossible for the rest of the subway stations to be vacant.
"I can't count them. I only know that there are people in more than a hundred subway stations , and there are people everywhere on the railway lines." Su Wuxian said.
Jingtian was slightly shocked. According to what Su Wuxian said, a rough calculation showed that there were definitely no less than 200,000 people in this underground city.
"Where do you live?"
Jingtian saw Su Wuxian taking him out of the subway station and moving forward, and couldn't help but ask a question.
"We're almost there. Thanks to Uncle Jiang, our group of people have a relatively good place to live." Su Wuxian was a little proud when he talked about his residence.
Jingtian didn't ask any more questions and just followed.
It was indeed not too far. Su Wuxian stopped in front of the iron gate of an emergency escape passage.
This emergency passage is set up in a central location to prevent accidents during the subway.
In Jingtian's impression, the escape route should be just a corridor.
The iron door at the entrance of this passage is unusually thick.
What should have been an eye-catching color was now painted black, blending in with the surroundings and impossible to spot if you didn't pay attention.
Su Wuxian knocked on the door and called out inside; "Su Wuxian."
A few seconds later, there was a sharp creaking sound and the iron door was slowly opened halfway.
