Chapter 21 Information Islands and Master Songs
Except for the network problem.
Many chemical plants that have not yet been completely relocated have also suffered leaks and explosions, making the surface environment even worse.
As for more specific information, it is no longer available online.
Su Wu switched to the chat group and found that even in the small group composed of the shelter owners, it was dead silent. He could not receive any messages at all.
He sighed, closed the group chat, and continued to use the camera on the second floor of the farmyard to observe the situation outside.
Compared to a few hours ago, the light at this time was even dimmer, and grayish-white dust like goose feathers began to fall from the sky.
That was the burning smoke, condensing in the clouds and then falling into crystals.
The only good news was that there was no trace of fire on the distant mountains. It was unknown whether it was completely obscured by the dust rain or burned out.
"Just keep waiting."
In the current environment, Su Wu can do nothing.
The drone certainly can't take off, but a medium-sized truck can drive out.
However, the information that can be collected by the cameras on the trucks is extremely limited. If the fire in the city has not been contained, it may be too late to escape by the time the danger is discovered.
And after Su Wu gave up trying to explore the situation outside.
The engineering team is still advancing the excavation work of the third underground floor of the shelter in an orderly manner. They maintain the existing rhythm, crushing, excavating and transporting the underground rock strata around the clock, expanding the space of the shelter bit by bit.
High temperatures, poisonous gases, and ashes and dust falling from the sky have no effect on them at all.
evening.
The incessant rain of ash finally showed signs of stopping.
The temperature dropped slightly as the sun disappeared, stabilizing at around 58 degrees.
Su Wu released a drone reconnaissance formation and headed straight towards the city.
soon.
A devastated city appeared in the drone's camera.
The fire burned down the high-rise buildings, leaving only the wall frames. The doors and windows of the residential areas, as well as the furniture in the rooms, could not be seen in their original appearance. They were either distorted or turned directly into ashes.
The flower beds without flowers and plants on the streets were torn into pieces, and the cars parked on both sides were reduced to empty metal shells. Some were burned to skeletons or flattened by falling signs.
The only thing to be thankful for was that there were still some intact ambulances and fire trucks parked at the exits of some shelters.
You can vaguely see traces of human activities inside.
This fire that spread throughout the entire city did not completely wipe out the humans hiding in the underground shelters.
Su Wu controlled the drone formation and circled silently over the city for a while.
And returned quietly.
the next day.
The network that had been able to connect intermittently was completely disconnected, and the shelter where Su Wu was located became an information island.
This is not because the environment has become worse, but because the signal tower that maintains the area of the shelter has exhausted its backup power supply and no longer supports network connection.
But even without the Internet, there is still radio.
Su Wu fiddled with the console for a while, and soon received a broadcast from the nearby authorities. The news he received was actually more than yesterday.
In yesterday's fire, the damage to the official shelter in Jianghe City was much less than expected. There were almost no casualties, and only some supplies were burned by the fire.
On the contrary, some corporate and personal shelters have an alarming death rate because of inadequate construction standards and inadequate emergency equipment.
Especially in the area of the city center where the fire was the most serious, several private shelters were burned through from the inside to the outside, and no one survived.
In addition, the power plant located on the surface was burned down and lacked maintenance and backup equipment.
The public electricity in Jianghe City has basically come to a halt.
At least in the next few days, the shelters in Jianghe City can only find ways to generate their own electricity.
"Water, electricity and internet were all cut off."
"It is estimated that many people will have a hard time in the coming days."
Su Wu felt pity for the small and medium-sized shelters around Jianghe City. Not every shelter could achieve near-complete self-sufficiency like Su Wu's.
Without the support of urban public facilities, lighting a light bulb or drinking a sip of water requires careful consideration and calculation. It is foreseeable that life will be quite difficult.
However, seriously speaking, these things have little to do with Su Wu.
He was just an ordinary person without any power or influence. It was not his turn to worry about the fate of others for the time being.
Listen to the official broadcast.
With nothing to do, Su Wu left the control center and went to the entertainment room in the living area.
While turning on the TV to play a film recording natural scenery, I started exercising on the treadmill.
In the end of the world.
The most important thing is to have a healthy body.
When conditions permit, Su Wu would try to take some time every day to exercise.
More than an hour later.
After running eight kilometers, Su Wu walked off the treadmill, sweating profusely and feeling refreshed.
After taking a shower, Su Wu brought out a plate of cut fruit and poured a glass of bubbly ice-cold cola.
He huddled down on the sofa, picked up a controller and concentrated on playing the game.
Immersed in the magnificent and gorgeous world of stand-alone games, time passes very quickly.
Before I knew it, the day had passed.
the next day.
Su Wu spent half a day reading novels and half a day watching short videos.
Novels and videos are all stocks downloaded from the Internet by primary artificial intelligence before the Internet was disconnected.
There is so much content that you can watch it continuously for several years without repeating yourself.
The only thing that makes people feel a little regretful is that those works that were not completed before the Internet was disconnected may never be followed up.
Day three.
While listening to songs, Su Wu discovered that the best cover song actually came from an online friend named Chen Xin, whom he had never met.
This left him with a feeling of wanting more, and he couldn't help wanting to hear more.
It’s a pity that the network has been disconnected for a long time and it is nowhere to be found.
That night.
System settlement.
[Current territory: Habitable personal shelter (0%), daily fixed survival points +3. ]
[Listen to the master-level song Pillow Fairy Tale, the spirit is slightly healed, and the survival points are +2. ]
[Current remaining survival points: 67. ]
“There are rewards for listening to songs?”
Su Wu was shocked.
In the past few days, I have been doing nothing in the shelter. Every night, I only have the guaranteed three survival points.
He always thought that this was the underlying rule of the system and could not be changed.
As a result, now suddenly he is told that there is another way to get it?
"Livable, songs, spiritual healing——"
"Is that why the songs make the shelter more habitable?"
Su Wu fixed his eyes on a few key words in the prompt, and his gaze became a little deeper.
