The Legend of Biochemical Doomsday

Chapter 54 Light

It's hard to say whether the smell in the secret room dissipated or Ye Zhiqiu's nose got used to it. Anyway, when the two of them felt that they could bear the smell, Ye Zhiqiu "touched" the pistol in the gun pocket on his lap, holding the gun in one hand and holding it in the other. Flashlight, slowly walked to the door.

Seeing Ye Zhiqiu's movements, Claire turned out the pistol tucked in her waist, held it in her hand and asked in a low voice, "How many dead people do you need to have such a strong smell?"

"I also have this question." Ye Zhiqiu said absent-mindedly: "By the way, no matter how many dead people there are, no matter how loud your voice is, it won't wake them up."

Claire paused, spread her hands and looked sideways at Ye Zhiqiu: "Can you not spoil the atmosphere?"

"Okay, okay." Ye Zhiqiu said, then deliberately lowered his voice and said: "We have to be careful of those dead people. Although they are rotten to the bone, they may still get up and bite us."

"This articulation is very expressive." A voice came from behind them, Ye Zhiqiu and Claire turned around at the same time, and saw Alice walking over with a simple torch in her hand.

Ye Zhiqiu glanced at her, turned around and still faced the iron gate, but Claire couldn't restrain his curiosity, looked at the approaching Alice and asked, "How did you do it?"

"It's very simple." Alice said: "String up the whole roll of toilet paper, and pour kerosene on it." She waved the torch in her hand: "During the expedition, this can also detect the oxygen concentration."

"She's right." Ye Zhiqiu said, "Not only can it detect the oxygen concentration, but it can also detect the gas concentration."

Hearing this, the two women were startled. Alice hesitated and said, "It doesn't seem like a big problem."

"Yes." Ye Zhiqiu said, "Obviously we are still alive."

Claire knew the meaning of their conversation. If there was flammable gas here, they would have been blown up by now, but she was still very uncomfortable with the way the two of them talked. She spread her hands and asked, "What's wrong with you?" It seemed to be arguing, but unfortunately she didn't know the phrase "It's not that enemies don't get together".

"He's regretting." Alice said, "He hesitated."

"Okay." Ye Zhiqiu surrendered: "I do regret it, we are doing dungeons, I don't like doing dungeons, it's a waste of time."

"Maybe not." Alice said, "Why don't we go in and have a look."

Claire looked at Ye Zhiqiu, shrugged and said, "Very good suggestion, I mean, now that we've come here."

"Okay." Ye Zhiqiu said: "Anyway, we have already wasted a morning, do we still care about an extra afternoon?"

The space inside the iron gate is not very big, about the same as that of a convenience store. It is divided into several compartments. Ye Zhiqiu carefully checked them one by one. Claire behind him said softly, "This is an old-school survivalist. What they are always on guard against is World War." She pointed to the compartments and said, "It's like a watertight chamber."

"That's right." Ye Zhiqiu said: "Anti-nuclear and anti-chemical. It can also resist thermobaric bombs. Does he think someone will use such an expensive weapon to attack him?"

"In fact, he's next to the largest military base in Nevada." Claire said, "Maybe it's necessary."

"Unless the bomb deviates from the target by tens of kilometers." Ye Zhiqiu said: "According to this error, if Washington is attacked, maybe the original target of the enemy is London."

"What if there are worthy targets here?" Alice said suddenly.

"What?" The other two were stunned at the same time, a thought suddenly flashed in Ye Zhiqiu's mind, and he lost his voice: "How far is it from where you woke up?"

"It won't be too far." Alice said, "If my sense of direction is correct, then the escape route and the highway should form an acute angle, and the short side is from here to the place where I woke up."

"**." Ye Zhiqiu blurted out, "When did we have such good luck?" Before he could answer, the light of the flashlight had already shone on something. He was slightly surprised, and exclaimed in a low voice: "Look what this is."

In one compartment, there was a diesel generator set impressively. The air duct made of white steel above the unit and the circular oil pipeline extended all the way to the roof, and then submerged into the cement dome.

Alice stood behind him, looked at the machinery in the room, and asked, "Can it work?"

"I'm not sure." Ye Zhiqiu said, "I'm not very good at this."

"It's easy," Alice said.

Ye Zhiqiu was taken aback. He didn't expect this woman to be a mechanical genius, but Alice's next action immediately shattered his illusion. She handed the torch to Claire, strode into the room by herself, and stretched out her hand to press the green button on the front of the crew. Click on it, it turns out that the ignorant is fearless.

no response.Ye Zhiqiu breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to speak, Alice had already noticed her mistake, she frowned slightly, and closed the double-pole single-throw switch next to the button.

With a sound of "squeak", the indicator light on the body lights up, the fluorescent tube illuminates the back panel under the button, and the word "Start" is displayed under the green button, and the other red button is "stop".Alice glanced at Ye Zhiqiu, reached out and pressed the green button again, and this time, following her action, the diesel unit roared.

Then, as her finger left the button, the sound of the rotating parts slowly fell silent again.

Ye Zhiqiu and Alice looked at each other, and Ye Zhiqiu was unsure of what to do. From the moment he fell, he began to review his decision. In fact, he should have asked Alice to take him with him after dawn. He went to the place where she woke up, and that was the purpose of his trip.But under Claire's suggestion, he actually became interested in this survivalist's cellar, which not only wasted a day, but also put himself in danger.Of course he is not afraid of danger, but he has to take risks when needed. He is not a professional explorer, so he will go wherever the danger is.

This small diesel unit doesn't look complicated. Alice's failure to start it is just a trick. Obviously, this strong woman is not very good at using machinery.But Ye Zhiqiu had to consider the worst case, he didn't plan to live here for a while, so restoring the power supply didn't seem necessary.

"Let me do it." When Ye Zhiqiu was struggling, Claire handed him the torch, took Ye Zhiqiu's flashlight, and walked into the room by herself.She doesn't think as much as Ye Zhiqiu. For her, every day of survival is wonderful. It is safe to do nothing, but in essence it is no different from waiting quietly to die. Since she is alive, she must do something, Even if that would be the reason for losing her life, that's why she can maintain a pure heart in the last days.She strode over, checked the knife switch, and then closed a switch. There was a low buzzing sound in the room, and readings began to appear on a mechanically driven pressure gauge next to it. After the count stabilized, she He stretched out his hand and pressed the green button, and the diesel engine started to turn again.

Claire didn't just press and let go like Alice did just now, but pressed and held, the roar became louder and louder, and a series of broken sounds suddenly came out, and then the sound stabilized, and another green light next to the dashboard came on.Claire released the button, turned her head and glanced at Alice, with a smug expression on her face, no matter what, she was still a 19-year-old girl, and she always had a competitive spirit.

She pushed the last knife switch beside her hard, and the incandescent lights in the room immediately lit up.

There is no scene where the lights are turned on instantly in the movie. It is obvious that the previous owner here knows how to save energy, but the cool breeze flowing around shows that the ventilation system here has started to work automatically.

She turned around, spread her hands, and said with a smile: "Everyone, we have light."

God said, "Let there be light," and there was light!
