Day by day in the infinite game

Chapter 242 242. Air pollution survival mode ([-])

The biggest inconvenience of living underground is the difficulty in ventilation.

People have been thinking of various ways to solve the problem.

For example, laying ventilation ducts, using houses on the ground as shelters to set up vents, installing underground exhaust fans, etc.

And coincidentally, the house that Tang Qinqin chose as a place to stay was a ground bunker with one of the main vents.

……

The second day into the game world.

The rain that had been falling for half the night stopped obediently in the early morning.

After dinner, Tang Qinqin was walking around the house when he heard a strange rustling sound in the next room, so he walked over slowly.

Although he was a little scared, when he thought that he would not feel at ease at night if he didn't find out where he was going to stay, Tang Qinqin plucked up the courage to open the door of the room that had been silent for a long time.

Then before I could see anything clearly, I heard a high-pitched scream from inside the room.

"Ahhh-!"

Tang Qinqin couldn't help but rub his ears.

Good guy, this is a tenor singer who is rare in a century!
It's just that the style of the tune is a bit scary.

She and the man, who gradually shut up his mouth and half of his body was exposed to the ground, looked at each other for a long time before they began to try to have normal human communication.

Ventilation pipe repairman, plumber for short, is the occupation of this talented high-pitched man, Lin Sen.

Daily line inspection, responsible for surveying whether the ventilation in the area is normal, and cleaning the dirt of the exhaust vents are his unshakable tasks.

The involuntary scream just now does not mean that he is a coward, but that the place has been silent for a long time, and even the rats that were wandering around at the beginning have disappeared. Did he jump?

"Where are you from? Outside, is it different from here?" Lin Sen asked.

The girl in front of her is different from them at first glance. Her skin is healthy and rosy, her hair is black and shiny, and her body is full of vitality.

Living underground for many years without seeing the sun, their standard features are pale skin color, stooped body due to calcium deficiency, yellow and white hair, and eyes that are not bright and have reduced vision after being in a dark environment for a long time.

It's no wonder that he is curious. He has lived underground since he was born. He has heard his fathers reminisce about their past, and he also knows that the living environment is the same all over the world now.

Since they are all the same, where does this girl who looks different come from?
"I'm from Y City." Tang Qinqin said where he lived in the real world.

It seems like this, doesn't it count as lying to him?

"There, are all the people there like this?" Lin Sen looked at Tang Qinqin with envious eyes, and his tone was full of longing.

"Yeah, but it's far, far away from here. Look, I'm lost."

……

When Lin Sen completed his daily work and returned underground, he found the person in charge of the town management and explained Tang Qinqin's situation to them.

The person in charge, who had been busy searching for and treating water resources all day long, heard that the visitor was a girl. Without thinking much, he waved his hand and let Lin Sen take care of the arrangements.

This is actually based on his trust in the security forces of underground towns.

Since the advent of the "end of the world", the 360 ​​industry that used to bloom and contend with a hundred schools of thought has gradually declined, and few of them remain today.

Most of the manpower is invested in major emerging industries such as underground planting, groundwater treatment, and underground infrastructure management. Among them, the "Tianji Squad" who is responsible for taking turns on duty and monitoring the weather conditions on the ground also works part-time as a security guard.

In the evening, Tang Qinqin could finally set foot in the underground world that interested her.

……

Tang Qinqin felt that the passage leading to the underground town must have borrowed the survival wisdom of small animals who are good at digging and hiding, which is called "the road is obstructed and long".

The twists and turns of the mountain road and the eighteen turns are not enough to describe the trend of this passage.

In fact, this is a last resort, in order to prevent acid rain and other harmful substances from the ground from entering underground towns and causing damage.

Tang Qinqin's arrival attracted the attention of many underground town residents.

In the hearts of these people, young and old, with white beards and hair, Tang Qinqin with black hair and black eyebrows is very strange.

At this time, Qin Zhuo was excitedly describing to Grandma Ning the Tang Qinqin he had just seen: "...that sister has black hair, which is different from ours, but she is very pretty, especially the eyes..."

Jing Jingxuan, who originally just listened to the ordinary excitement, was stunned.

It was like turning on a memory switch that had been dusty for a long time, and many memories of youth began to play in my mind.

In the past, she also had black shiny hair and a pair of charming eyes.

But even though she couldn't see it now, she knew that her hair was already gray.

What about this dark-haired girl?
Grandma Ning stood up eagerly and touched the walking stick on the side: "Xiao Zhuo, hurry up, take grandma to see if that person is gone."

She couldn't explain why her heart was beating so fast at the moment. It seemed like there was a voice in her head urging her to get over. As for what would happen if she got over it, she had no time to think about it.

It was approaching dinner time, and the people who had just been watching Tang Qinqin on the three floors inside and outside had gradually dispersed.

Tang Qinqin, who was blushing from being stared at, couldn't wait to do makeup immediately to make himself a familiar look.

At that moment, she only felt like a monkey in the zoo.

"Sister, sister..." came an urgent voice belonging to a young man, and a thin young man came over supporting an old woman on crutches.

Tang Qinqin looked at the strange but irresistible old man and young man in front of him and said hello with a smile.

The embarrassment that had accumulated in my heart just now disappeared in an instant.

……

Lin Sen asked the person in charge to arrange a wooden house for Tang Qinqin not far from Grandma Ning's house.

Because of this, at dinner, Grandma Ning resolutely invited her to have dinner with her.

Unable to resist the hospitality, Tang Qinqin tasted tree roots, worms and steamed potatoes with his grandfather and grandson.

Of course, she didn't actually eat the bug, but she secretly stuffed it into the obsidian.

Carrots and cabbage, everyone has their own preferences, right?
After eating, Grandma Ning sent Qin Zhuo to wash the dishes.

"Qinqin girl?" the old lady tried to shout. Seeing that Tang Qinqin didn't object, she relaxed and continued: "They all said that you have black and shiny hair. Old lady, I am very interested and want to keep it." Just talk, don’t be afraid.”

"I used to have beautiful black hair, but I can't see it anymore." A sigh full of regret.

"Girl Qinqin, can you tell me, are the people there like you? You live on the ground and can still see the sun every day, is that right?"

"Grandma Ning, that's right." Tang Qinqin saw the tears shining in the old man's eyes and felt depressed.

"Girl Qinqin, when you go back, can you please take me and Xiaozhuo with you?"
