Chapter 1111 Entering Pingtan, the first official foreign visit!
The rays of the morning sun shone down from the sky, and the entire earth seemed to be covered with a golden coat.
After the first light rainy season, the weather finally cleared up.
Standing in the open space above the exit of the Pingtan shelter, Liehu narrowed his eyes and stretched after finishing his exercise.
The gleaming bald head was sweating, and the fat that had been mixed together had loosened up, once again revealing the outline of muscles that he only had more than ten years ago.
“It’s awesome!”
Yehu murmured and touched his abdominal muscles with a pair of big hands.
Hmm.
I don't know why, but he always feels like he is getting "younger" these days.
Not only the body, but also the mentality has undergone earth-shaking changes.
He used to spend half of the day in the manager's office at the bottom of the shelter, killing time in front of a lot of reports that he couldn't understand at all, in order to pretend to complete the work of the shelter manager.
But now, since joining the Western Suburbs Alliance and learning how the allies manage shelters.
He found that he was becoming more and more relaxed.
Just throw away any reports, that is the responsibility of deputy manager Jin Guqiao.
This kind of war has nothing to do with me. If you want to fight, first ask the leaders of our Western Suburbs Alliance if they agree.
As for development
This tiger hunt is quite interesting, and I have forced myself to calm down and read a lot of books recently.
However, reality slapped him in the face, as if these things had a grudge against him.
I obviously remembered it very firmly, but as soon as I left the shelter's door, I quickly forgot it all.
We have no choice but to learn from our allies.
Aldrich is a guy who can't learn. His shelter is run like an iron bucket, focusing on nothing but failure. When disaster strikes, everyone will destroy it together.
Neither can the leader of the alliance, Sumo. Yehu is quite self-aware and understands the gap in IQ between the two.
Once eliminated, only Kevin is left.
Learn from him and establish a disposal base in Tianyuan territory?
Liehu thought about it for two or three days, and finally decided not to make random decisions on his own, but to invite Somo over first.
After all, instead of thinking about how to develop in the future, it is better to let Sumo customize a plan for himself.
As for whether the other party will cheat you.
Based on the contacts during this period, Yehu is quite confident.
As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Although the number of residents in Pingtan Shelter is much higher than that in Tianyuan Shelter next door, a full six times, when it comes to the quality of residents, there is a huge difference between the two.
Gophers have been passed down from generation to generation, and the civilization left by humans has long been lost in time.
Even hunting tigers sometimes feel that the large number of people is actually a burden.
Except for being useful when a war starts, it is a big trouble at other times.
And with such a mess, even if it is a trap, it is basically impossible to start.
Boom.
Just when Hunter Tiger was deep in thought, a slight whistling sound suddenly came from the distant sky.
Dozens of residents who were still working on the surface raised their heads curiously, and their eyes immediately locked onto the rapidly approaching black spot.
"An enemy?"
Several Pingtan soldiers who were on alert were shocked and quickly wanted to raise the alarm.
But before he could make any move, his attention was attracted by the laughter of Hunter Tiger baring his teeth.
"Haha, what kind of enemy? This is our leader, the leader of our Western Suburbs Alliance is here!"
"Quick, tell me to get down."
"According to the highest etiquette of Pingtan Shelter, this is the first formally invited guest to our shelter in decades!"
Yehu ordered loudly, the wrinkles on his face squeezed together like a blooming chrysanthemum.
When asking for help from someone, you must first determine your attitude.
Especially knowing Somo's character of taking soft things rather than taking hard ones, Yehu is not a fool, and he is willing to do as many false gifts as he wants.
Soon, wait until the airship lands.
A welcoming team with hundreds of people already appeared in front of the gate of Pingtan Shelter.
Although I don't wear any special clothes and don't have any unique etiquette.
But after hearing the lame "Welcome to the Alliance Leader" in Chinese, Sumo still inevitably showed a smile.
"Did you teach them?"
"Well, they have to learn it themselves."
Liu Lu wiped the sweat from his head and showed a smile on his face.
As the first person who came into contact with Tianyuan, he certainly understood the importance of language communication, so he learned Chinese by himself from the beginning, with the idea that even if Pingtan was gone and he went to Tianyuan, he could still live.
However, after developing over the past six months, running away is no longer needed for the time being, but it has also developed new directions.
After attending the Qinggang Conference, Yehu came back and asked him to open a language class.
It doesn’t matter how many people can be taught to learn Chinese, but at least it can teach them basic communication skills.
Looking at the smile on Somo's face now, this teaching effect is not bad.
"Then you have to work hard and try to teach them more. Maybe there will be surprises in the future."
After controlling the airship to land slowly, Sumo smiled and shook his head.
Cultural integration is indeed a trend that individuals cannot stop.
That's right.
They are all human beings, and many of them have similar faces from the same region. How could they be cut off from each other because of such a small issue as language?
In other words, even if it is true that language cannot communicate, Earth people and Blue Star people will definitely develop a third way of communication.
This is a spontaneous fusion between billions of people. As long as there is no powerful shield like games, it will definitely be the same as what is happening in Pingtan Shelter now.
More and more players on Earth will learn Blue Star Language.
There will also be more and more Blue Star Aboriginal people learning Chinese or English and other communication languages.
"My dearest ally, leader of the Western Suburbs Alliance, you are finally here!"
As soon as the airship landed, Hunter Tiger rushed over without hesitation.
He first bowed slightly, then took out a wreath from somewhere, and gently placed it on Somo's head under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes.
The size is just right, so even if you exercise strenuously, it won't necessarily fall off right away.
"I, Hunter Tiger, am the twenty-ninth generation manager of Pingtan Sanctuary!"
"On behalf of all residents, welcome your arrival!"
The hunting tiger bent down again, this time much wider than last time.
He almost had to kneel down on one knee.
"Trouble."
Sumo nodded slightly and showed a kind smile.
When the two men held their right hands tightly together, someone immediately ran out from behind the viewing team.
Click.
A flash of light burst out in the morning sun.
Looking at the perfect photo he took, the resident responsible for recording couldn't help but grin.
I didn't expect that the disaster of metal aging would be so serious, but this old antique handed down from 'ancient times' could still be used.
He handed the developed photo below to Yehu and quietly pressed the film to save it.
The recorder had no other ideas, but simply wanted to save as many memorable negatives as possible before the memory space ran out, so that he could remember them when he gets old.
However, what he didn't expect was that it was this film recording Sumo's first official visit to the Western Suburbs Alliance.
When he wanted to sell the camera a few years later, the value of his collection was comparable to that of an entire shelter for 100,000 people!
Of course, this is a later story.
After exchanging pleasantries with Yehu at the door, Sumo couldn't wait to walk towards the conspicuous door.
Speaking of which, a few months ago, he was still planning how to sneak into this shelter secretly to detect information about the Gopher Man.
But no one expected it.
Today, the first time I entered this place, I was officially invited by the shelter manager.
It can be said to be a trick of fate.
"This is our first underground line of defense, used to block sudden attacks from enemies. Well, this is the sixth time we have rebuilt it. Last time we were almost rushed in by those guys from the harbor."
Stepping into Pingtan Shelter, there are obvious bullet marks on the walls of several passages.
Xie Hu did not shy away from suspicion and introduced the source of these bullet marks in a nonchalant manner.
Some of them were left over from the civil strife in the sanctuary hundreds of years ago, when two groups of people clashed with each other.
Some were left behind by bold looters who wanted to sneak into the shelter, but were found and taken here to be shot.
In addition, there are more external battles, large and small.
Those cunning and cruel enemies invaded here and fought with the defenders of the refuge.
"During the dispute more than ten years ago, the enemy had even broken through this line of defense. If I hadn't killed the previous manager and detonated the bomb decisively, Pingtan Shelter would have changed hands by now."
There were originally many passages leading to the ground and underground, but they were all destroyed by the bold behavior of hunting tigers.
Many of those that remain today were built with great difficulty in the future.
Looking at the traces left by these years, Sumo stretched out his hand and touched it, and suddenly sighed.
"Have those enemies not considered blowing up this place?"
"Of course not." Liehu shook his head decisively: "Blue Star's previous war purposes were completely different from now. At that time, wars were all for profit. If more benefits cannot be obtained to make up for the losses after the war, then the war will
The good days of initiators are almost over.”
The enemy of my enemy is also waiting for the opportunity to come.
After the war is over, there will only be losses, which will leave opportunities for those hungry wolves in the dark.
"But not all wars are like this. There are also many people who are more arrogant. For these people, if you dare to mess with me, then I will drag you to death even if I have to sacrifice everything."
"Are you introducing yourself?"
Liehu shook his head with a silly smile and did not answer Sumo's rhetorical question.
There is no lethality in speaking harshly, and the past record is enough to prove everything.
The forces that dared to take the idea of Pingtan Sanctuary had already been killed by him using various means.
Even the residents of those forces were packaged into slaves by him, or sold to Foundation merchant ships, or given to surrounding cities where there was a shortage of people to work.
And this is also the reason why few people in the entire Qinggang City dare to provoke the hunting tiger.
Although he is old now, no one knows in which war Yehu's last madness will be used.
"This is the second line of defense. It was added after I became the manager. It was originally intended to be a maze for the enemies to mess around in, but in the end due to the huge amount of work, it ended up like this."
The main entrance of Pingtan Shelter has more defensive facilities than the side entrance on the seventh floor.
After leaving the passage, we entered an abandoned garbage dump that looked like an outpost.
There is a lot of construction waste piled in the corner, and there is a thick layer of ash on the ground that has not been cleaned up.
"Isn't there usually no one here?"
"No, there are very few people walking through the main entrance. It's too troublesome."
The entrance to Pingtan Shelter is in a corner of the garbage dump, and the entrance gate is disguised as a garbage recycling site.
Yehu struggled to push away the debris piled in front of the door, and the dust that was thrown up made the people behind him cough repeatedly.
But after opening the door, it immediately became much cleaner.
It is a large space, about two hundred square meters.
There are dense patterns carved on the ground, with a huge two-headed cow pattern carved in the middle. One wall is carved with incomprehensible hieroglyphics, some of which look like rooms used to worship faith.
"This is the last line of defense. Don't think it's simple. In fact, if there is a big bomb buried underneath, once it detonates, the entire shelter will collapse. This is our last resort!"
Not sure if it was true or not, Yehu took the initiative to walk in front and touched the horns on the ground.
Creak.
The wall carved with hieroglyphics suddenly shrank inward, and a small door for passage appeared at the corner.
Since it is not a place for transporting goods, the door is not big enough and can barely fit three people together.
Following in the footsteps of Yehu, Sumo walked behind this door.
Considering the future construction of Tianyuan Underground City, Sumo felt that it was necessary to write down the structure here.
The good ones become part of the dungeon, and the bad ones serve as negative case warnings.
But it's a pity. As the vision suddenly opened up, I looked at the interior of the Sunny Harbor Refuge.
There was still a hint of disappointment on Sumo's face.
The dark "hui"-shaped building structure extends downward from the ground, looking like a mine.
Moreover, there is no elevator in Pingtan Shelter, and there is a walking spiral corridor in the middle.
Stand on the edge and look down, whether it's the floor or walls, or where the structures are connected.
There are signs of age everywhere, and the air is filled with a dead smell that even the exhaust fan can't remove.
Coupled with the dim lighting and completely ignored noise management.
The rumbling sounds echoed together, making the brain hurt.
To be honest, the environment here is really not as good as a prison on Earth, let alone compared with Tianyuan Dungeon, especially the B6 floor produced by the system!
"So I've said it a long time ago, don't have any expectations for these shelters that have been passed down for hundreds of years. The level of civilization here may not be as good as the piles of ruins on the ground."
Liehu explained softly, with an expected expression on his face.
This familiar disappointment is not only reflected in Soma, but also in those wanderers and plunderers who enter the underground shelter for the first time.
Human beings have too many expectations for such underground emergency facilities.
What black technology, what underground living space, and even what underground city.
If you think about it carefully, these large and small shelters were built with private funds more than two hundred years ago.
Even if you are a wealthy entrepreneur, how much money can you have in your hands?
Building such an underground building is already amazing enough, but asking for other extravagances is simply beyond the capabilities of these people.
In other words, people with this ability don't need to build shelters at all. They are already standing at the top of Blue Star and are the operators of this war.
Do traders need to hide like gophers?
The answer is yes.
"Let's go, there's nothing to visit in these residential levels above. I'll take you down to see the places that are really worth visiting. That's where the real soul of the underground shelter lies!"
