MTL - Players Please Get In the Car-Chapter 1491 only water source

  Chapter 1491 The only source of water

  The young man followed Xu Huo back to the small hotel.

   Xu Huo didn't ask him to come here to buy something to cook, of course, he wanted to know the overall situation of District 026.

  026 is a partition that has not been fully integrated with the game so far. That is to say, this partition is now the same as E27-014. Players from the outer zone can only enter the copy under this partition after arriving. There is no special way to directly reach the partition.

As for the reason, it is probably because of the environment of District 026. The progress of the complete integration of the partition and the game is based on the evolution of the entire partition. The most important indicator is the evolution of the player. out.

The evolutionary environment of District 026 is not good, and the population is small, so it has not been able to integrate with the game for a long time. Of course, this is not a bad thing for District 026. There are quite a few players who think similarly to the players, but they will bring greater danger after they integrate into the game.

District 026 is divided into four gathering places as a whole. Because there are few people, most of the people are concentrated in these four gathering places. Each gathering place is blocked by a huge dry ocean, and it is inconvenient to travel between each other. Site number 01—this number is set by their gathering place.

District 026 is not a technologically advanced place, and acid rain will destroy and interfere with electronic equipment. There are almost no means of transportation like airplanes. Of course, it is also because of poverty. Even if the roads between gathering places are opened, the value Not too big.

An agglomeration is equivalent to a country, but being barely in one place does not mean that the established cities will help each other. The cities in the agglomeration are basically independent, and the cities that develop better can guarantee the export of their own daily necessities. One point, in general, you can only take care of yourself.

   To put it simply, everyone is having a hard time, and no one is better than the other. In this kind of environment, as long as you don't want to compete for other people's resources, you can be in harmony with each other.

  However, population reproduction and changes in the external environment are important factors that affect life. Most cities are struggling on the food and clothing line, so a group of people will be eliminated every one or two years.

   "Eliminate?" Xu Huo interrupted the young man, "Kill or..."

"Of course not, life is very difficult, but everyone has a day when they are old and weak, how can they kill people directly." The young man forced a smile, "Those who cannot create value and become burdens will be paid by the government and then expelled." , cities with better conditions will send cars to send them to the slums."

In such a big environment like acid rain, it is not easy to build a house, especially for ordinary people with little technology and ability. After the city releases the excess population burden, it is said to let them find a new place to survive, but in fact it is Fend for itself, and end up either dying on the way, or coming to the slums, there is no better place to go.

  This is also the reason why people in the slums are dying all the time, but they can't die no matter what.

  The situation in District 026 is difficult. The most important thing in the city is players, so the general direction is to encourage births. If the dwarfs are taller, or if there are ten or hundreds of births, one player will always be born.

  There are too many newborns, and those who are old or in poor health will be abandoned.

   This is also a fact accepted by everyone in District 026.

  They pin their hope of changing the future on their descendants, so they are willing to save living space for future generations.

   "In the big cities, there are medicines to test whether you can become a player when you grow up. They are tested at the age of six, ten, and fourteen. If they are not qualified at the age of fourteen, they will become a labor force." The young man said.

This is quite humane. Forcibly injecting the blood of an evolutionary can make ordinary people start to evolve, but the success rate of evolution is unknown. Many people will die of illness or directly degenerate into a heterogeneous species. If it is detected in advance, it can be detected to a certain extent. Avoid this risk.

   But it can be seen that the accuracy rate of this test is not high, otherwise it would not be checked every four years.

   "How many cities have tapped their water sources?" Xu Huo asked again.

   "There is only one." The young man said: "Only the central city has opened up the underground water source, and the other cities are transported from the central city. What we buy here is the share from the previous Yucheng."

  Xu Huo nodded slightly, "Have all the rivers on the ground dried up?"

   "Even the sea is dry." The young man said calmly, "The acid rain that falls has entered the underground river, and the water is getting less and less every year, so it is getting more expensive every year."

Area 026 seems to have experienced a huge disaster. The ocean has remained dry for a long time. Even if it rains, the amount of water is not enough to re-wet the ocean. Instead, it flows to a place where the dry longitudinal crack is deeper, and finally sinks into the deep underground .

The places where cities gather are deep basins on land. Of course, they are definitely not as good as some places in the ocean, but it is not worth relocating cities just to choose a good water intake, not to mention that District 026 has not been relocated. Strength.

  That's why it's so difficult to get water on the ground, so far only one central city has this ability, and the cost and technology are another matter.

   "Does it rain every day in District 026?" Xu Huo glanced out the window.

  Youth nodded, "It rains most of the time, but it's just light rain."

   Even if it is light rain, according to normal conditions, District 026 should not be so short of water, not to mention that the cost of acid rain purification is not high.

   After asking a few more questions, Xu Huo let him go.

   After a while, the boss came up, "There are more and more children coming here, even those from outside."

   "It's only a few dozen people." Xu Huo said lightly: "If there are not enough vegetables and rice, let the people in the water store give up their share."

  The boss choked, then said, "I dare not."

  Xu Huo raised his head and glanced at him, "Then let the cook do the talking."

  The boss turned and left.

   Not long after, the people from the water shop, the casino outside, and the underground palace all sent something, including vegetables, fruits, and clean water.

   There are also maps of the 01 gathering place and handwritten information about various places.

  The people in the underground palace also asked the boss to bring a word, saying that if Xu Huo likes that boy, he can take it away.

  Xu Huo let them go.

  After reading the map and notes, the boy came in with food, Xu Huo called him, "Is there any relationship between the underground palace and Yucheng?"

The boy cheered up, "Yes, but they originally came from Baicheng, which is next to Yucheng. The boss of the underground palace is relative to the players in Baicheng. Sometimes he would send one or two young children there. "

   "Will strange children come to the underground palace? They don't belong to the slums."

  The boy finally dared to raise his head, "I'm not from a slum, I was sold here!"
