Chapter 297 Commemorative Badge
Chapter 297 Commemorative Badge
Kuanjiang River Basin, Shanghe City.
In a six-story military fortress next to the No. 6 communication signal tower that was almost covered with frost.
Liu Yi was wearing headphones and staying in the warm dormitory.
Looking intently at the phone screen, there was a girl standing in the center of the brightly lit stage, the center of everyone's attention.
A few minutes later, the girl had been off the stage for more than ten seconds.
He just sighed reluctantly and came back to his senses from the lingering sound of the girl's singing.
“It would be nice if I could go and listen to it live.”
“The effect will definitely be much stronger.”
Liu Yi felt a little yearning, but he didn't regret it much.
Because of this concert held on the 8th floor underground in a farmhouse.
Tens of thousands of tickets were distributed randomly through online lotteries.
He once tried to enter the lottery using his status as a registered resident of Jianghe City, but he didn't win.
This means that even if he is not stationed hundreds of kilometers away from the farmyard, he is not qualified to enter the concert.
Naturally, there is no need to regret anything.
However, you can’t go there to experience it directly.
But it doesn’t mean there’s nothing else we can do.
Switch the software on the phone screen.
As expected, Liu Yi found the supporting merchandise related to this concert in the shopping mall.
A commemorative badge made of polished metal to a gleaming shine.
There is a Q version of a cute little girl drawn in a cartoon style above.
Her expression is vaguely similar to that of the girl on the stage.
And above and below it.
There are also two lines of words engraved on it: "1st Concert" and "Xinyue".
Don’t be fooled by the simple materials used in this badge.
Before the end of the world, the cost might not have exceeded one cent.
But in the mall, in addition to the material cost, it is also given additional peripheral and commemorative value.
Its price is still extremely expensive.
It requires game coins equivalent to 15 working days, or equivalent contribution points.
Most people would feel very distressed if they wanted to buy it.
Liu Yi couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.
But then he gritted his teeth and placed a purchase order.
In any case, he was on duty on the surface far away from Jianghe City.
There are additional high subsidies every day.
Purchasing such a badge is somewhat easier than for ordinary people.
Pay the contribution value.
Liu Yi noticed that he was the 8129th buyer.
He curled his lips and muttered something.
"There are so many rich people."
This souvenir was put on sale after the concert.
In just a few minutes, nearly ten thousand units were sold.
It only shows that there are many people like him who have spare money.
But complaints are complaints.
Liu Yi was still in a good mood.
This hot selling scene.
It gave him a vague illusion of returning to the peaceful and tranquil times.
If you don’t really have enough food and clothing, and live a stable and abundant life.
There wouldn't be so many people pursuing such souvenirs that have almost no practical use.
At the same time, this also represents.
Liu Yi is serving a prosperous and powerful shelter.
There is no need to worry about encountering irresistible life-threatening dangers at any time like other people outside.
"crisis."
Think of this.
Liu Yi swiped his phone and opened a small forum he often visited.
This is a place where survivors from some small and medium-sized shelters in southern Dongzhou gather and communicate.
Compared with the prosperous and peaceful Jianghe City online community.
It's like a completely different world here.
The theme of the entire forum, in addition to discussing how to use limited resources to maintain basic survival, is to summarize the news about the purple crystals that have frequently appeared on the surface recently.
It was also through here that Liu Yi saw surveillance videos of different types of amethyst killing people. "It turns out that you only need to overcome the loneliness and cold environment on the surface."
"Now we have to guard against these deadly creatures hiding behind the ice fog and blizzards."
"Not easy."
Recalling those video collections that could be called how humans were slaughtered as prey.
Liu Yi felt a little sympathetic towards the people in the private shelters outside, as well as the official shelters in second-tier cities and below.
For them, the current living environment is simply hell.
at this time.
A dull explosion sounded, penetrating the windows and thick walls of the fortress, faintly heard in the dormitory.
Liu Yi became alert instantly.
He put down his phone and walked quickly to the window.
Looking outside through the thick special cold-proof glass.
But there, there was nothing but snowflakes flying rapidly under the push of the cold wind and the white ice fog.
Can't see anything else.
Liu Yi could only recall carefully again the direction from which the explosion came.
Then they guessed that it was a sign that a mine they had previously deployed a few hundred meters away had been triggered and exploded.
"Landmines don't go off for no reason."
"The threshold was set very high at the time, so it wouldn't explode even if someone stepped on it."
"So the probability is——"
Various appearances of evolved amethyst crystals appeared in my mind.
Liu Yi's heart trembled.
Not daring to delay, he immediately put on the exoskeleton armor placed aside.
Then he walked quickly down the stairs.
We arrived at the activity hall on the first floor of the fortress, which was also the wartime command center of the entire fortress.
At this time, more than a dozen comrades had gathered in the hall.
Everyone was fully armed and looked solemn.
He looked them over briefly.
Liu Yi quickly fixed his sights on their captain Yang Wei.
Yang Wei was sitting in front of a radar controller.
Fine-tuning the scanning direction of the radar installed on the top of the fortress over and over again.
"Captain, what's going on outside?"
Liu Yi walked over quickly and asked in a low voice.
Yang Wei did not answer immediately.
After fiddling with the controller for a while, he played some audio.
The whistling sound of the wind and the intermittent strange roars suddenly echoed clearly throughout the hall.
Those who heard it felt a chill all over their body subconsciously.
"We are surrounded by amethysts."
“The exact number is unknown.”
“But there should be no less than several thousand.”
Yang Wei announced the bad news in a low voice.
"how come?"
“We are in the wilderness here.”
Liu Yi subconsciously didn't believe it at first, but then he quickly reacted.
Currently, the entire Shanghe City is in ruins because the official shelter was destroyed in the disaster several months ago.
All the surviving people have been transferred to farmhouses in Jianghe City.
So, in this vast area of nearly 20,000 square kilometers.
Except them.
In fact, no other humans have existed for a long time.
Amethyst that broke into Shanghe City.
If you want food.
The only option is to hunt them down.
"We are the last human stronghold in Shanghe City."
"We are the only place that has the resources needed for the growth of purple crystals."
"Everyone, prepare to fight."
"This battle is inevitable."
