Chapter 485 Contact (Part 2)
Soon Su Mo and the others followed Jia Lan to the end of the passage, and the scene in front of them suddenly became clear.
A very narrow underground gathering area came into the eyes of Su Mo and others.
There are square-shaped buildings built here, and the roads are very narrow. But you can see many children squatting and playing together, laughing from time to time.
In terms of scale, this is a gathering area of more than 20,000 people.
"There is an open space here. You rest there first. Without our consent, you are not allowed to leave that open space. If there is any update, I will inform you."
Jia Lan led Su Mo to a relatively spacious open space.
In fact, it was not that Jia Lan and the others looked down on Su Mo and others, but that Su Mo and the others had too many people, and there was no suitable place to place them at all.
"good."
Su Mo and the others didn't have any objections, and they weren't picky.
Then Jia Lan turned and left.
Lin Ming said to everyone; "Rest in place."
After hearing this, everyone sat down on the ground.
At this time, many aborigines and children from the Hongji Empire gathered around curiously. Most of them saw outsiders for the first time.
Eyes are full of curiosity and surprise.
But they didn't approach rashly, they were still a little instinctively afraid.
At this time, many of the people who were resting took out a nutrition bar from their pockets, preparing to eat and replenish their energy.
Although they had eaten before, the high-intensity escape before made their physical fitness drop a lot.
Just when they were about to start, they saw pairs of curious and eager eyes staring at them.
Many children in shabby clothes swallowed their cigarettes, with longing expressions on their faces.
Although these children don't know what a nutrition bar is, they naturally know that it is delicious when they see the color of the nutrition bar is so beautiful and it is delivered to their mouths.
At this time, Karinsa smiled and handed them a nutrition bar in her hand.
A little girl hesitated, then stretched out her hand shyly.
Karinsa nodded with encouraging eyes.
The little girl came up, stretched out her hand to take it, and with a happy smile on her face, she said to Karinsa.
"Thanks."
At this time, other children saw this scene and came together one after another.
Seeing this, Lin Ming and the others were not stingy, and took out nutrition bars one by one and handed them to them.
In the distance, an old man wearing a blue robe and leaning on a mechanical crutch was looking at this place from a distance. Seeing this scene, he showed a thoughtful expression.
At this moment, Jia Lan came over and greeted him respectfully.
"grandfather."
"Jalan, what you did this time is indeed a bit reckless."
"sorry."
"I didn't object to what you did. From now on, this is not necessarily a bad thing. At least the first impression these outsiders gave me was okay. Of course, this cannot represent my final opinion of them. Opinion, but our current situation is indeed getting more and more difficult. If we can’t make changes, we are not far from being destroyed. In the contest with artificial intelligence Hei Zhou, we have indeed lost.”
"Grandpa won't."
Galan kept shaking his head.
"Okay, let's not talk about this. I thought about it. You brought people back, so you should be in charge of contacting them. In order to show my sincerity, I allow you to take some of them to visit our gathering area. In addition, you also Ask them about their details."
"I will."
Jia Lan nodded heavily in response.
"Silly boy, you don't have to put too much pressure on your heart. Get in touch slowly. If we can't do it, we won't collapse in a while. Just one thing I want to remind you, don't trust these outsiders too much, people are A very complex creature, very deceptive."
"I see."
"Go ahead and contact them boldly. As for the different voices from the Council of Elders, I will suppress them for you. The future belongs to you young people after all."
——
In the temporary camp, Su Mo and the others sat together, communicating in low voices.
Lin Ming directly spoke his thoughts.
"I just observed a little bit, and I found that although it is dilapidated, the level of civilization is well preserved. Not to mention other things, the air quality here is not at the same level as that in the sewer, which means that there is a complete air filtration system here."
Karinza agreed.
"More than that, take a closer look at the houses here. This is not an ordinary metal structure. It is all made of alloy. It should be made of the materials looted by the security guards who killed them. They should have good processing capabilities. , should retain some manufacturing capacity.”
"According to what you say, they are not ordinary remnants of the Acer Empire."
Su Mo thought for a while and said.
"It may be a core member."
Lin Ming nodded and said.
"What's the difference?"
Witko asked puzzledly.
"The difference is huge. If they are the core members of the Hongji Empire, they must know how to leave here. No matter how bad they are, they will know how to leave. You must know that we haven't figured out how to fall into this ghost place until now. .”
Su Mo explained to Witko.
"I've seen enough. If they knew how to leave, they would have left long ago."
Witco didn't like it very much.
At this time, Qian Chengxue reminded; "Okay, don't discuss this, the woman named Jia Lan came over."
Su Mo and the others all shut their mouths.
At this time, Jia Lan came over, and Lin Ming and the others greeted him one after another.
"Hello, Miss Jialan."
Jia Lan glanced at Lin Ming and the others, then his eyes fell on Su Mo, ignoring the others and said, "Come with me."
"Ah I?"
Su Mo was also taken aback.
"Any questions?"
"without."
Su Mo came to his senses and responded quickly.
Seeing this scene, Qian Chengxue and Karinsha moved their lips slightly, wanting to speak, but gave up again.
He could only watch Su Mo and Jia Lan leave.
After the two walked away, Witko said a little worriedly: "Would it be bad for him to call Su Mo away alone?"
Although Witko didn't like Su Mo very much before, but during this period of escape, Witko has admired Su Mo from the bottom of his heart.
"Don't worry, you have to have confidence in Su Mo. Let's not do anything now, so as not to arouse the other party's suspicion."
Unknowingly, Lin Ming trusted Su Mo very much.
"good."
On the other side, Su Mo accompanied Jia Lan all the way to the residential area.
Many heads poked out from the windows of the buildings along the way, looking at Su Mo curiously.
Su Mo felt like a monkey, very uncomfortable.
He originally wanted to open his mouth to find a topic to chat with Jia Lan, but he felt that it was not appropriate to say anything. It's really not my strong point for such things as public relations.
Especially Jia Lan is still a woman, and Su Mo has little experience.
