Chapter 132 Afterglow in the prosperous era


    Su Wu stood at the edge of the square and turned his eyes to the overview map of the shelter in the corner.


    This underground building, full name is the No. 1 refuge in Chongzhou City.


    Rather than calling it a refuge, it is more appropriate to say it is an underground city or even an underground kingdom.


    The square where Su Wu is currently located is just an entrance to the underground area of ??Sanctuary No. 1.


    Then, vertically below the underground area one, about twenty or thirty meters thick, there are underground areas 2, underground areas 3, and up to underground areas 15.


    These regions combined form a three-dimensional underground world with a vertical depth of nearly one or two kilometers.


    The total population accommodated exceeded 13 million.


    It is even larger than the population in the early Tang Dynasty in history.


    “Surface residential area, 4.5 kilometers away from here.”


    "It''s quite far."


    This distance is relative to the time you need to arrive.


    Even in this unprecedented bustling refuge.


    Hiking is still the main way for ordinary people to travel. At most, you can take the elevator when you go up and down the floor.


    Follow the prompts on the map.


    Su Wu exchanged 20,000 contribution value with one liter of radiation-proof coating at the square service desk.


    The contribution value of the exchange is directly deposited into his temporarily registered mobile account in the form of electronic currency.


    When trading, you only need to transfer money through your mobile phone.


    There is no private shelter in the urban area of ??Chongzhou City.


    Almost all underground is occupied by official shelters.


    Therefore, the contribution value redeemed here.


    It can be used in the entire Tongzhou City shelter and is the most convenient general currency.


    And in terms of price.


    The purchasing power of the contribution value is not much different from the same amount of currency before the end of the world.


    You can buy one pound of rice with three contribution values.


    But, behind this seemingly stable.


    Most ordinary people in underground shelters earn only about 120 contribution value per month.


    This is the level that can only be achieved under the premise of having a formal job.


    Ordinary people who cannot find a job and can only stay in voluntary positions arranged by the official.


    The income will be cut directly by half.


    That is, the official collective dormitory, no rent is required. And there are cheaper mushrooms, as well as dried earthworms, voles meat, etc. that are not too expensive, which can improve taste and nutrition.


    Otherwise, a considerable number of civilians located at the bottom would not be easy to eat.


    He was holding a box of material containing medicines and radiation-proof coatings in one hand, and in the other hand, he was holding a cell phone that had just filled the contribution value of 20,000 yuan.


    Su Wu climbed to the third floor of District 1, which is the floor marked as a commercial area on the map.


    Inside this floor.


    The layout is not much different from that of ordinary underground shopping malls.


    From snack bars to clothing stores, electronic repair shops, daily necessities, entertainment facilities, etc., everything is available.


    Basically, in ordinary shopping malls before the end of the world, what you can buy can also be bought with contribution value here.


    And from the expressions of passers-by in the past, you can still vaguely see the ease and comfort before the end of the world.


    It was as if the cruel environment outside had nothing to do with them at this moment.


    Su Wu walked with the crowd, quietly watching the scenes.


    According to the income of ordinary people in Chongzhou shelters, it is obviously not enough to support this leisurely state.


    The confidence of the pedestrians who appear here should come from the materials accumulated before the end of the world and the large amount of contributions exchanged by the official.


    After all, the doomsday is not a sudden occurrence.


    As long as the planning is right.


    It should be possible for most people to move all their valuable belongings into shelters.


    Let them have a relatively sufficient savings in the early stages of the end of the world.


    But savings will eventually run out of your day.


    The prosperous scene in front of you is destined to be just a flash in the pan.


    In the end, most people will still return to the soil of struggling to survive. A burst of spicy food aroma filled the snack bar next to the aisle.


    Su Wu''s gaze stopped there for a while.


    I found that there are only four types of food sold in the snack bar. Mushrooms, potatoes, dried earthworms, and unknown meats.


    But because I am willing to use the ingredients and mix them properly.


    It still smells like a urge to taste.


    “This store.”


    "Maybe it can exist for a long time."


    Withdrew his gaze, Su Wu continued to walk forward.


    More than an hour later.


    He finally arrived near the entrance of the surface residential area.


    After paying the ride fee of three contributions.


    No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!


    Su Wu took the sightseeing elevator and rose to the 15th floor of a surface office building.


    Arrived at the gold trading hall mentioned on the forum.


    There are not many people in the hall.


    Even if gold''s value in the end of the world has depreciated a lot.


    But there are still a few people who are able to bring out equivalent materials. Even fewer people are willing to come and exchange materials for gold.


    It didn''t take much time.


    Su Wu successfully used the medicines, radiation-proof coatings and the unused contribution value in his hands to exchange for 10 kilograms of gold.


    After redemption.


    Instead of rushing to leave, he stopped in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window at the edge of the hall.


    Looking out at the scenery outside.


    Under the grey clouds filled with depression.


    Dozens of buildings with transparent insulation layers above the ground are raised.


    Replaced the role of stars.


    With their brilliant lights, the dim ground shines brightly.


    It gives people a feeling that it is coming to a city that never sleeps near the future.


    But if you let your eyes shift slightly from these magnificent buildings.


    But you can see more endless buildings immediately.


    Like a tombstone, quietly immersed in the darkness.


    There are so many of them that they can be so numerous that as long as you pay a little more attention, you will involuntarily develop a loneliness and fear that penetrates your bones.


    It was as if I was in the vast ocean of death.


    The lights and noisy voices around you can no longer bring any comfort.


    "Chongzhou City."


    "It''s still not big enough."


    Even if it has a population of more than 40 million, it will be opened up to a magnificent underground city.


    In the face of endless nature.


    It is still fragile like an ant''s nest and cannot withstand too much wind and waves.


    Stay for a while.


    Satisfied curiosity.


    Su Wu did not stay in the surface residential areas and underground shelters for too long, and soon returned to the base bus.


    Continue on the journey.


    In the end of the world, nothing is more important than its own strength.


    Only become strong enough.


    Only by truly mastering one''s own destiny. You will not be easily taken away by a sudden disaster.


    After leaving Chongzhou City forty or fifty kilometers.


    The road surface became rugged again and it became difficult to move.


    When we arrived at the back, even the road disappeared completely.
