Chapter 77 New Safety Fortress

It has been a month since I woke up, and I have been doing rehabilitation training for more than 20 days. After several consecutive tests, the attending doctor finally told me that I can go out.

I used to watch those soap operas in which the protagonists would cover the sun with their hands when they were discharged from the hospital, and raise their heads at a 45-degree angle to the sky. I asked my mother to prepare a hat for me in advance to protect myself from the dazzling sunlight outside.

My mother and the nurse helped open the hospital door, and I took the first step. Under the brim of my hat, there was no dazzling sunlight. When I looked up, I saw the gray sky.

I asked my mother in confusion: "Mom, it was still daytime when I was in the ward, why did the weather change all of a sudden?"

My mother moved away the hand holding the door, glanced in a certain direction, and said, "There must be a problem with the power system. This artificial sun has just been installed, and the voltage is not yet stable."

"Artificial sun?" All I see in the room these days are artificial suns?

"Yes, about half a year after you fell into coma, in order to isolate the extreme weather outside, the materials were changed. The insulation effect is very good. It is enough for us to wear spring and autumn clothes inside, but the light-blocking property is too strong, and the sunlight is blocked. The researchers came up with a way to use electricity to create an artificial sun to simulate the sun, but the effect was not very good and they had to change it several times. "My mother seemed to be used to it.

My mother pointed in the direction she was just looking at. I looked along her finger and I could indeed see the figures of several workers under the huge artificial sun.

"There are so many things that have changed, Xiaoqi, come on, let's go home." My mother carried my luggage. I had just recovered. Although my leg muscles had been massaged by my mothers to keep them active, they still couldn't avoid atrophy and it was difficult to walk. It was so convenient that I could only use crutches to try to walk normally.

The ground outside is no longer tall grass, but has been trampled into flat ground, making it much easier to walk. The smell of earth is much thicker than before, and it is also mixed with a smell that has never been smelled before.

Going further outside, you can see many factories nearby. My mother introduced that these are used to generate electricity, make materials, and produce some of our daily necessities.

Most of the original grassland land is still used as our activity area. The hospital and factory are in the activity area. I carefully observed the surrounding environment and tried to quickly integrate into the new life here.

"Mom, are there too many people in the safety fort now?"

"It's not that many. There are probably five or six hundred more people than when we first came in."

"Why are there so few?" I couldn't believe it. This security fortress was already the largest security fortress in the surrounding big cities, but there were only a few thousand people here.

"Yes, there were a lot of people coming in a large group at first, but then it became less and less. When Jia Yang went to the rescue, there were not many people brought back. On the contrary, sometimes when the rescue team went out, there would be a few less people. Personally..." When my mother mentioned the rescue team, I recalled what Jiayang's mother said.

"Mom, before Jiayang's rescue team went out, were there any rescue team members missing?"

"It happened before. Just before Jiayang disappeared, someone from the rescue team didn't climb over the ice hole, fell in, and never came back. The weather outside was bad, and no matter how good the equipment was, they couldn't prevent it. , Besides, we are very short of supplies now." Mom stopped, thought about it, and said to me: "Before that departure, we all advised Jia Yang not to go anymore, and Jia Yang also listened to the advice, but later he didn't. Somehow, that guy Lin Kai came over and decided to set off again. "

Lin Kai and Xu Wei, these two people are the key figures in Jia Yang’s disappearance...

We picked up the luggage again, and my mother picked up the luggage again. She didn't know what she stepped on, and she stumbled forward.

"Mom! Be careful!" I shouted hurriedly.

At this time, suddenly a white figure appeared next to me. He took the duffel bag from my mother's hand and said, "Auntie, let me do it!" The heavy object in my mother's hand was taken over, and I heard my mother say: "... …,long time no see!"

The man in front of him had a typical ABC face, and his eyes were firm but friendly. In this place with poor resources, his hair was meticulous, and every strand was carefully combed. Wearing a casual suit, his strong muscles can be seen in the loose clothes.

After he and his mother exchanged pleasantries for a while, he turned to look at me, and I asked tentatively: "Are you... Xu Wei?"

He stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Xue Qi. I'm Xu Wei."

Hearing his affirmative answer, I stretched out my hand, held it, and said, "Hello."

"I saw you several times from afar when I went to find Jia Yang, and we finally talked to you this time. If Jia Yang sees you awake, he will be very happy..."

He seemed to be sincerely happy for me, and even got a little excited when he talked about Jia Yang. I couldn't tell for a moment how sincere he was, and the words of Jia Yang's mother came back to my mind.

Mom took over again, "Xiao Wei, what happened to Jia Yang is not your fault. Besides if it wasn't you, Xiao Qi wouldn't have been able to be admitted to the hospital and receive such good care." It seems that I have Xu Wei's help when I live here. , I will ask my mother carefully when I get home.

"This is what I should do!" Xu Wei continued to greet his mother.

Along the way, Xu Wei enthusiastically introduced me to the changes in the security fortress.

This safe fortress is actually different from the original one. The outbreak of zombies is not the first factor that affects human survival. The ensuing extreme weather is the fatal blow to defeat human beings.

When the hot weather in the south reaches a critical point, the bad weather in the north slowly comes. What we think of as heavy snow in winter is actually the beginning of extreme cold.

Fortunately, our base area took precautions early and built a dome in advance. However, several nearby security fortresses failed to protect themselves in time and suffered disaster.

Later, the organization used this security fortress as a command center, so hospitals and factories were built here.

Xu Wei, who made great contributions to the fight against zombies, was sent to station here. He has priority in using the resources of the security fortress.

At this moment, I connect what Xu Wei said with Jia Yang's diary. Because of Xu Wei, the hospital is willing to continue to treat me, so I can survive until now. He is indeed my lifesaver.

"Xu Wei, I want to formally say thank you."

While we were talking, we moved step by step to the residence. When we arrived at the door of the house, my mother invited Xu Wei to be a guest at home. Xu Wei declined and said that he had other work to do.

After walking so much, my body felt a little tired, and my mother and I no longer tried to persuade her to stay. After watching Xu Wei leave, I pushed the door open and entered the house.
