Chapter 831 Messenger

The big storm changed a lot of things. It can even be said that the big storm brought greater changes to the world than the Apocalypse Day itself.

The Apocalypse erased 99% of the traces of human civilization left on the world, and the big storm allowed mankind to fully adapt to this change, especially for the New Hope generation, who are more accustomed to the ecology after the big storm environment.

Except for those lucky newborns born in numbered shelters, many of the New Hope generation simply cannot understand how great humanity was before the Apocalypse.

Baiyun is such a child who was born in the era of great storms, a wanderer child with pure blood. His father gave him courage and a strong body, while his mother gave him beautiful blessings, hoping that he could see the blue sky and white clouds again in his lifetime.

And this expectation has now come true. On Baiyun's seventeenth birthday, the continuously weakening storm finally gave up its struggle. The sky above his head became blue again, but the clouds in the sky were still gray. It's not as beautiful as my mother described.

But Bai Yun had seen real clouds before. It was a photo collected by his mother. In the photo, there were white clouds and green grass. The men and women in the tribe were surrounded by bonfires with happy smiles that Bai Yun had never seen before. Something is being celebrated.

It was precisely because of that photo that Bai Yun knew that there was an evil creature called a player in this world.

"They are born evil and cannot be killed completely. No matter how hard you try to resist them, they will always return from their world again. Only Tang Ji, Tang Ji can really kill them." Both his father and mother taught Bai Yun this way.

Bai Yun was actually very unconvinced. He was one of the brave and skilled warriors in the tribe. He didn't understand why only the man named Tang Ji could kill those enemies.

The tribe of wanderers he belongs to is living a pretty good life. It can even be said to be a little more comfortable than before the Apocalypse. Because before the weather got hot, the entire tribe was moving to the south of the federation. They were lucky enough to find a place near the Mexican border. An abandoned oil field.

Petrochemical facilities abandoned by companies near oil fields and residential areas built in mountain gorges became their refuge from the apocalypse.

What's even more fortunate is that this place is located at the intersection of two explosion nodes, and the radiation pollution is relatively small. Therefore, although the tribe paid a heavy price, a considerable number of newborns still survived the radiation exposure.

Of course, many newborns are born with some physical disabilities, which is nothing in the tribe. For example, Baiyun himself has three eyes, and the third eye is on the back of his head, but this does not hinder his Life, that eye has no vision at all.

Baiyun's father is a good mechanical engineer. Maybe it was because of the impact pressure caused by the nuclear bomb blast on the Apocalypse Day, or maybe it was because God favored Baiyun's tribal branches. After the Apocalypse Day ended and the big storm gradually weakened, Baiyun's tribe It was surprising to find that oil fields that had dried up once again emerged.

So Baiyun's father's generation spent several years repairing some of the equipment in the oil field, which can easily refine crude oil into gasoline and diesel, and restored the lifestyle of the former wanderers, maintaining their lives through trade, and in exchange for Everything you need.

Baiyun is seventeen years old this year, and he is already considered an 'old driver'. He is one of the truck drivers in the tribe responsible for delivering fuel. Their main customer is a shelter located near the bay.

That shelter is very mysterious. Baiyun has never seen their trading partner. They always pour oil into the pipes reserved on the surface of the shelter, and then pull away those shelters, preparing in advance what the Baiyun tribe needs. equipment and supplies.

For two whole years, Bai Yun had not seen what the residents in the shelter looked like.

He knew that there were many shelters in this world, so Bai Yun was actually curious about why that shelter had never been opened and the people inside were never willing to come out and meet them.

Baiyun's father once described to Baiyun the beauty of the world before the Apocalypse Day. He also said that people built shelters to avoid the Apocalypse Day. But now that the Apocalypse Day is over, why haven't the people in the shelter come out yet? ?

Every time he was delivering goods, he would find various reasons to stay nearby for a while, just to see if the people in the shelter would come out.

He was very curious, and his father warned him several times not to explore the secrets in that shelter, but Bai Yun obviously didn't care about his father's warning. In these few transactions, he accumulated a lot of money in his hands. 'Good stuff', he fantasizes about making deals with the residents of the shelter every day.

But today is obviously another day of returning empty-handed. Now I have been staying about 500 meters away from the oil injection point for half an hour. I still haven't waited for the people in the shelter to come out. I have to start the car again and leave, otherwise he will chase me. No more riding in the convoy.

His driving skills are indeed very good, but half an hour is all the time he can make up for with his skills. Any longer and he will fall behind.

The wasteland is full of dangers, and a truck traveling alone is like Little Red Riding Hood delivering cookies to the big bad wolf.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Baiyun started the fire several times in a row, but the sound of the truck pushing back towards him made people full of worry. This kind of car made to cope with the environment in the future of the apocalypse is also one of the rewards provided by the shelter to the tribe. Although Baiyun's tribe is good at Mechanical repairs, but they obviously don't have the capability to produce engines just yet.

Baiyun inherited his father's skill, and he was keenly aware that the sound of the ignition was not right this time.

Sure enough, when Bai Yun gently ignited the truck for the third time, the truck itself let out a whine, then spewed out a cloud of black smoke and just stopped in place, never responding to Bai Yun's operation.

"Damn it!" Bai Yun slapped the steering wheel angrily, but he still pulled back at the last moment. Rangers have an innate affection for cars. The tradition of several generations has made them regard vehicles as their own. family rather than tools.

Before setting off, Bai Yun heard some noise from his old friend, but he could only grit his teeth and get on the road. The wind and sand in the wasteland were very strong, and it was difficult for the filter to filter out all the debris. The engine itself was A consumable item.

Therefore, deep down in Bai Yun's heart, he was actually prepared for this anchorage. It can even be said that he planned this anchorage, just to find a suitable reason for himself to go to the shelter to seek help.

So after a brief hesitation, Bai Yun packed his bags, carried all his belongings on his back, and headed towards the shelter by the bay step by step.

In the desert that used to be a beach, there was an abrupt metal pole with a walkie-talkie on it that the team captain used to communicate with the shelter. Bai Yun saw with his own eyes that every time the team captain contacted the shelter below through the walkie-talkie, he used it to instill The oil pipeline interface will emerge from the ground, so Baiyun also wants to try it.

He stood in front of the shelter's intercom, looking at the black box. He hesitated for a few seconds before coughing lightly, tentatively walked forward, and asked in a nervous tone: "Hello? Is anyone here?" Um, I'm the driver who delivers oil to you? My car broke down, I mean, I broke down, I can't leave here right away. Can I, you guys, help me?"

Bai Yun was a little angry because of his incoherence and slapped himself hard.

But it had no effect, because there was no response from the other end of the walkie-talkie, which made Bai Yun start to feel that he was actually quite stupid for talking to such a metal thing. "Please press and hold the red button and repeat your request again." Suddenly a voice came from the intercom, which startled Bai Yun.

Then he realized what stupid thing he had just done. The red button was like his face, so red that people dared not look directly at it.

"I need help, my car broke down." Bai Yun pressed the red button and stumbled out his request.

The ghost is observing Bai Yun through the camera. Yes, the shelter at the foot of Bai Yun is one of the many secret bases of the ghost.

Just like the dilemma faced by Mikkelsen, the consciousness of the ghost that relies on the existence of the Internet will have to disperse its consciousness into pieces and store them in servers around the world after the apocalypse.

This is one of the reasons why it can do nothing about Tlaloc's betrayal. The current ghost situation is far worse than the worst situation it expected. For example, the current shelter at the foot of the white clouds is actually not large in size. Very big.

It does not even have a reactor that can operate stably. The automatic production line equipped inside has to build an additional power system that can rely on chemical fuel to provide additional power.

In the past few years, this node of Ghost and Baiyun's tribe of wanderers have been in a mutually beneficial existence. Ghost has tried its best to maintain itself from shutting down due to lack of power, while Baiyun's tribe has exchanged oil for it. Industrial products and knowledge.

With the addition of the Baiyun tribe, the computing power of the Ghost node gradually increased from the remaining 7% to 32%. From the dull response-only mode, it became smart again.

It tried to access the only remaining satellite network and looked for other nodes for assistance. Unfortunately, it was not very lucky. That satellite network was Dr. Wu Qianying's private network, and it almost exposed its location.

In the past few years, he also tried to entrust this task to Baiyun's tribe, but Baiyun's tribe gave up on this task after sending seven consecutive messengers to the ghost node further south without success, and no longer responded to the ghost's task entrustment. , focusing only on existing ways of working together.

But today, looking at this young man who was full of curiosity and could not hide his worries, the ghost decided to try to 'confuse people' again.

"A help signal has been detected. The content of the request - a new vehicle, is being fed back."

Bai Yun frowned and heard the black box speak again to defend: "It's not new, I just want to borrow some parts to repair the car. I promise to return it to you next time!"

But obviously Bai Yun's words did not affect the ghost's calculations. He had just used his own computing power to hypothesize tens of thousands of plans suitable for bewitching teenagers, and selected the most suitable one.

"The new vehicle content has been generated, please make your choice according to your needs."

Bai Yun stared blankly as the surface of the black box suddenly flickered, and then created a three-dimensional pattern out of thin air in the air in front of him.

It was a vehicle that looked exactly like the truck he had driven before, except that it was brand new, and the patent leather surface exuded an addictive luster.

Accompanying the pattern is an introduction: "Type 001 transport requires 4.5 tons of crude oil, and the amount of oil currently input is 0."

"I don't have oil, so I need some parts." Baiyun is literate and his father and mother taught him, so he looked at the big zero with regret on his face.

But soon the vehicle in the pattern transformed again and turned into a tough-looking four-seater off-road vehicle.

That is a patrol car that can only be driven by the patrol team of the Baiyun tribe. Only the most brave warriors in the tribe can patrol the border in that car. It is a gift that every tribe child dreams of.

The amount of crude oil required under the car was as high as fourteen tons. Baiyun gave up his fantasy after just one glance, and explained feebly: "I have no oil, and I am not qualified to use the oil from the tribe to exchange for a new car. "

"New requirement detected, updating content"

Bai Yun watched the pattern in front of him flash for a moment, and then disappear again. The off-road vehicle in the pattern turned into a more cool two-wheeled vehicle. It was a vehicle model he had never seen before, but it only needed At a glance, you can tell that it is fundamentally different from the previous vehicles.

It was an Apollo all-terrain motorcycle modified by Ghost, with a larger fuel tank, longer range, and thicker armor. In Ghost's calculations, this motorcycle could impress almost any teenager in the Wanderer tribe.

Bai Yun was no exception, but the moment he saw the motorcycle, Bai Yun fell.

"What do I need to do to get this car?" Bai Yun looked at Apollo with confused eyes, his heart burning.

The ghost showed a map directly in front of Bai Yun. The starting point of the map is exactly where Bai Yun is now, and the end point is somewhere nearly a thousand kilometers further south, which is the location of another node of the ghost.

"Where do you want me to go?" Bai Yun looked at the location shown on the map in confusion, completely unaware of how dangerous it would be along the way. The ghost's response to Bai Yun was to highlight the motorcycle again. .

No one knows how many thoughts passed through Bai Yun's heart at this moment, but it was obvious that Bai Yun finally fell in love with his own desire and accepted the ghost's mission.

At this time, in Tang Anran's dream, the young prophet Feng Chenyin finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to Tang Anran: "The messenger is on his way, and we can start planning."
