Chapter 580 Lotus Tower + Undersea City 2
After all, their generation has never been to the sea since birth; the sea is boundless and endless.
I've only heard older generations say that they used to live on the ground.
Upon hearing this, Zhong Ning vaguely replied, "Maybe."
The ventilator she was referring to must be something that allows you to breathe in the sea.
About ten minutes later, the elevator arrived and the doors opened.
Zhong Ning saw another enclosed room, and she now roughly knew that this was an underwater underground city.
She walked alongside Zhu Xin, encountering other people along the way.
The people here all have one very obvious characteristic: their skin is sickly pale, which is probably related to their living environment.
The thought that they could reach the sea as soon as they set foot on land is truly a strange world.
After walking through a corridor for a while, they entered another elevator, this time with many floor buttons.
Zhu Xin pressed 34 as soon as she entered, without asking Zhong Ning why she didn't press it. It seems they both live on the 34th floor.
After exiting the elevator, they turned left and right and finally arrived at the door of a room.
There was a black electronic device with a display screen on the door.
As soon as Zhong Ning saw Zhu Xin stand over, the system began facial recognition on her, and the door opened automatically after a successful detection.
Pushing open the door, you'll find a cramped and oppressive room inside.
Calling it a room wouldn't be accurate; it's more like a space encased in sheet metal.
The room had only one small, dark window, so the air didn't circulate and the smell was unpleasant.
Zhong Ning blocked out her sense of smell and looked around. In the small room, there were five iron-framed beds, with a total of ten beds in the bunk beds.
Besides her and Zhu Xin's empty beds, there were eight other people resting in their own beds.
The ground was littered with all sorts of household items, leaving only a small gap for people to pass through.
She noticed that everyone had weapons on their beds, and some even slept with weapons in their hands.
She pulled out a knife strapped to her thigh; it was a rusty, chipped short knife, about half the length of her forearm.
Zhong Ning raised his hand and touched the blade. From the wear marks and faint smell of blood, he could tell that the original owner must have used it frequently.
"Xiao Ran, what are you standing there for? Get your clothes and let's go take a shower!" Zhu Xin climbed onto her bed, grabbed her clothes, and came down to find Xiao Ran still in a daze.
"Okay." Seeing that she had just climbed onto the middle upper bunk, Zhong Ning walked to the upper bunk next to her that was the one against the wall and no one was there.
She nimbly climbed up and took a set of clothes from the homemade clothesline at the foot of the bed.
Following Xiao Qi's suggestion, she took her toiletries from the ground and went to the shower room with Zhu Xin.
Before taking a shower and changing her clothes, Zhong Ning thought about how special the house was, so she turned on the shower to make noise.
Leaning against the wall, I closed my eyes and released my mental energy.
As far as the eye could see, the upper and lower floors of this building were densely packed with the same dormitories, all of which were full of people.
Moreover, they are all built with special materials, giving them a wasteland mechanical feel.
She is currently on the 30s floor, and the area below ground is completely enclosed.
There are other buildings nearby, some similar to this one, and some with different layouts, offering spacious and elegant single or double rooms.
She guessed that the accommodation was chosen according to one's ability.
Giving up on exploring downwards, she looked upwards and realized that the floors here were exceptionally tall.
After her mental energy rose several thousand meters, she finally saw the seawater.
The people here really live underwater, in an underwater city? That's quite unique.
She then thought of the two men in ancient costumes she had seen when she first arrived.
"Xiao Qi, that was the Lotus Pavilion World before, right? Weren't those Li Xiangyi and Di Feisheng on the ship?"
"Yes, host, the two worlds are connected this time."
"Oh, I see."
Having visited so many worlds, this world's interconnectedness was somewhat novel, but nothing was surprising, since each world she visited was a new beginning.
Zhong Ning touched her flat stomach and realized she seemed hungry.
She planned to eat something before receiving the memories, but decided to go into the space first.
At this moment, Xiao Qi asked, "Host, do you accept the memories?"
After entering the space, Zhong Ning casually grabbed a few chocolates and a savory steamed bun to satisfy her hunger, then nodded upon hearing this: "Receive the memories."
"Ok."
Twenty years ago, a major disaster struck Earth.
It started with several days of continuous torrential rain, followed by endless seawater overflowing.
The former city and buildings were completely submerged by the sea.
The global survival rate is declining rapidly, with people dying every minute and every second.
The rest are those who survived by some luck, or those who were protected by various countries with all their might and have a chance to find a way to live.
Through their continuous attempts and arduous efforts.
Finally, after isolating the seawater from spreading, they excavated several thousand meters underground and built an underwater city for human survival and reproduction.
After going through hardships, everyone started to reshuffle all the systems, and every day they studied how to survive in the long term and survive more safely.
Fortunately, it hasn't reached the point of causing human extinction. The seawater has only covered the entire ground, and the underground seems to be isolated by a protective shield, showing no signs of spreading downwards.
At first, the survivors were happy about the good news, thinking that at least they could survive.
However, not long after, abnormal creatures were detected in the seawater through technical monitoring, and the crisis struck again.
The establishment of the underwater city requires everyone's continuous efforts. Water is not lacking, but food is a problem.
Although there are experts who specialize in food production and plant cultivation, the supply still cannot meet the demand.
Therefore, everyone had to continue going into the sea to collect and search for useful resources, as well as gather all edible supplies on the ground.
Many of those who went out were attacked and killed by abnormal creatures.
Those who survived brought back organisms for experts to study, and the research found that these organisms were formed from mutations of original animals and plants.
Furthermore, the test results show that many of these organisms are edible, and the people of Haixia City, who live a difficult life, will take risks in order to survive.
Bring back marine life; valuable creatures can be exchanged for points at the Undersea City's shop. Points are the currency circulating in Undersea City.
The only way to earn points, besides having the ability to make contributions yourself, is to bring back something of value from Shanghai.
In the underwater city's shop, food and weapons are the most expensive items, so everyone cherishes weapons. If you can't afford the points to buy food, you have to go up into the sea to find some.
The original owner of Zhong Ning's body, Xin Ran, is nineteen years old this year. Her parents were survivors from that year, but unfortunately they went to sea a few years ago and never came back.
