Luo Xiuwen led the crowd through a few blocks, the surrounding scenes were constantly changing, and the tops of tall buildings behind him gradually disappeared into the clouds.
Observing that the number of patrol robots around was gradually decreasing, everyone opened the box storing the floating locomotive again.
In an instant, several locomotives flew past with tail flames, galloping in one direction.
The crowd was driving the locomotive in the air, already some distance from the ground, but several cars that were also floating in the air passed by from time to time.
The principle of these car suspension locomotives is similar, and the wheels under the body are turned into jet power devices.
The wind whistled in my ears, and the tall buildings in the nearby city gradually became lower——
The figures of orcs and awakened people on the streets below are becoming less and less.
The number of patrol robots and mechanized equipment that can be seen everywhere on the road is not as sophisticated as in the central area.
After a while, Luo Xiuwen led the crowd to the junction of the central area and the residential area.
The most intuitive manifestation is that the tall modern urban buildings have disappeared.
Instead, what appeared in front of everyone was the low bungalows that are common in human bases.
Luo Xiuwen stopped suddenly while driving the suspended locomotive, turned around and said to Mu Qiu and the others:
"I'm going back to the headquarters to report on the results of the mission. You two will rest here for a while. I will ask the headquarters for your instructions."
Mu Qiu smiled and nodded:
"Please..."
If Luo Xiuwen really took his "friend" who he had known outside for a few days back to the headquarters so easily——
Then there is no need for this rebel organization to exist.
"Yuming, find a place for Brother Qiu and Miss Lu first!"
Luo Xiuwen turned his head and told Mao Yuming beside him.
"Okay uncle!"
Although Mao Yuming is only a half-grown boy, he can do things happily.
I saw Mao Yuming grinning, ran to Mu Qiu and said:
"Brother Qiu, Sister Lu, come with me, I am too familiar with the slums!"
Mao Yuming raised his fist and hammered his chest, looking very confident and reliable.
Before Luo Xiuwen left, he gave Mu Qiu a device that looked like a bracelet, and told them that he could contact them at any time through the bracelet if there was any situation.
Mu Qiu noticed that this bracelet was exactly the same as the one that the man who was shot and killed by the robot just now took out.
The screen above advertises a string of four-digit numbers.
According to what the man said before, this string of virtual numbers seems to be the common currency of this base...
It seems to be called——Jingyuan?
After explaining something, Luo Xiuwen drove the locomotive with the remaining companions of the rebels and galloped away in another direction.
And Mu Qiu and Lu Qianqian walked towards the residential area under the leadership of Mao Yuming.
Along the way, Mu Qiu noticed that the houses here still present the pre-apocalyptic scene.
Even some tall buildings have collapsed and been rebuilt into low tile-roofed houses.
And the crowd moving around did not look like orcs, but scattered human figures instead.
The clothes of these people looked quite old, and the strange thing was that their faces were full of sluggishness, and each of them walked in a hurry and looked tired.
Mu Qiu could sense that these people were ordinary survivors who had neither supernatural powers nor undergone transformation experiments.
"Is this what you call a slum?"
Mu Qiu looked at the surrounding environment, although it was far less developed and prosperous than the central area.
But as a human base alone, it is already quite comfortable. In his opinion, this place is not yet a slum.
Mao Yuming shook his head slightly and said:
"Many of the people who live here have been evicted from the central area!"
"Since the transformation of the central area has been completed, only awakened and mutant orcs with high racial imprints are allowed to live."
"The native humans living inside were all abandoned to the edge of the base."
"This place has not experienced technological transformation, and everything is still the same as before the end of the world."
"Although there are still patrol robots monitoring here, the role of these robots is to prevent human riots."
Mao Yuming looked around the surrounding ground, and some street corners were already full of rancid garbage, emitting a foul smell.
The eyes of the humans walking on both sides of the street were lifeless, their eyes glazed over like walking corpses.
But these people's footsteps are extremely fast, as if they are in a hurry to carry out some activities...
Mao Yuming's tone was low, and he said:
"This is the residential area abandoned by the Xilan base, but it is also a slum that many people have passed down!"
Mu Qiu asked the question he had been puzzled for a long time: "Why are there so few humans in the residential area?"
This is a problem he discovered when he first entered the Xilan base, except for the mutant orcs and a small number of awakened people in the central area.
Even the settlements where humans gather can only see scattered human survivors.
There are surprisingly few humans in this city.
As a powerful presence in the human base, the number of human beings in the Xilan base is too small to be true.
When Mu Qiu raised this question, Mao Yuming's expression obviously became a little unnatural.
I saw his tone was dignified, his expression rarely became mature, and he said earnestly and earnestly:
"Survivors in this city, where in a sense..."
"They're in another world!"
"Oh?"
Mu Qiu squinted his eyes, feeling excited:
"how do I say this?"
Mao Yuming turned his head and looked at the high-tech city behind them:
"I don't know Brother Qiu, have you ever heard of virtual reality technology?"
Chapter 279 Soul linkage device, virtual and reality
The low bungalow buildings passing by one by one, looking around, the residential area of this base seems to be no different from the remote streets before the end of the world,
Finally, Mao Yuming brought Mu Qiu and the two to a tall building on the edge of the base.
This building is a rare tall building in the residential area.
Although it is not as towering as the skyscrapers in the central area.
But compared with the low buildings in the slums, it feels like it stands out from the crowd.
This high-rise building as a whole looks like a hotel before the end of the world. Mao Yuming walked into the building with the two of them.
He whispered next to Mu Qiu: "This building is one of the strongholds of our rebel army in the civilian area."
"On weekdays, on the surface, it is specially used to entertain some foreign awakeners or combat teams who are about to go out..."
Mu Qiu nodded slightly, and Lu Qianqian beside her complained to Mu Qiu through soul transmission:
"This Xilan base is really stingy. They were arranged to live in this kind of place when they came here..."
Mu Qiu smiled: "It seems that this base really thinks highly of itself, and doesn't take the awakened people from outside in its eyes."
This is also a very normal thing, after all, these human bases are all salivating over Xilan's high technology.
Whether to trade or not depends on the decision of Xilan Base itself.
So some small and medium-sized human bases can't wait to curry favor with this future city known as the "city of hope" for mankind.
While talking and laughing, Mao Yuming brought the two of them to the front desk of the hotel building.
He looked around silently, revealing a pendant on his chest indistinctly:
"Come for a double room, the bed must be big enough!"
As he spoke, he took out a bracelet on his wrist.
The receptionist was a woman, when she saw Mao Yuming revealing a pendant engraved with a specific pattern.
The woman understood immediately, took out a scanner-like device, and flashed a beam of blue light onto the screen of the bracelet.
I saw that the value on the screen of the bracelet was deducted in an instant.
There was no extra verbal exchange, the woman just nodded towards Mao Yuming, and handed over the access card:
"Please move upstairs to Room 1006..."
The whole process was extremely natural, and after a while, the three of them slowly went upstairs in the elevator.
In front of the elevator entrance, Mao Yuming whispered to Mu Qiu:
"The monitoring here will be transmitted to the Terminal Brain Building in the central area, so the necessary procedures still have to go through."
Flying around and looking at flowers usually passes through several room doors.
Mu Qiu could keenly sense the aura of strangers in these rooms.
Strangely enough, he didn't hear any movement in the room.
Mao Yuming took the two of them to a room marked with the number "1006".
After swiping the access control card, with a "beep" sound, the door opens.
Mu Qiu walked into the room and found that the decoration inside was no different from the hotel before the end of the world.
The size of the room is not small enough. From the extended floor-to-ceiling windows, you can just see the tall buildings in the central area in the distance.
This reminded Mu Qiu of his independent small villa in Yuhai.
