Chapter 44: Building the Base
Sang Chu said towards Lu Min Feng’s location, “Min Feng, set the hovercar to maximum mode. We’ll take the Flood Dragon with us and leave.”
The Flood Dragon was trapped in this place because there were stone walls everywhere, and he had no way to break through them to get out.
The underground river that Sang Chu and the others entered was also behind the stone wall, and it was a polluted water source. Contact with it could very likely turn one into a zombie. As for whether the Flood Dragon would become a zombie dragon, who knew? No dragon had ever tried it.
The Flood Dragon watched with wide eyes as a strange hovercar suddenly appeared, growing larger and longer, even longer than his body. The car door was also large enough to accommodate him.
【You guys escaped in this thing last time! 】
“Yes, let’s get in. If you haven’t eaten enough, I’ll have Min Feng make you something delicious later.”
There was no other way; among their group, only Lu Min Feng had decent cooking skills.
The Flood Dragon nodded and zipped onto the car in a flash.
【Wow, it’s so big! 】
The Flood Dragon flew around inside the car, extremely happy. Seeing him like this, Lu Min Feng couldn’t connect it to the first time they met.
The Flood Dragon’s head suddenly leaned in front of Lu Min Feng: 【I recognize you. You were part of stealing my food last time! 】
When Lu Min Feng heard its snorting sound, he quickly looked at Sang Chu as if for help.
Sang Chu: “He said he remembers you. Flood Dragon, this is Lu Min Feng. What do you want to eat? I’ll have him make it for you.”
【A cook? Hmph, forget it then. I want that roast meat from earlier, and water! And I want a bath! 】
He was just casually mentioning the bath. Before the apocalypse, he loved soaking in water. He remembered his home was by an underground river, but after the apocalypse, the underground river began to become terrifying, and he was forced to flee.
He thought he had escaped to a good place, but who knew he would be ruined by this group of people!
Sang Chu looked at the Flood Dragon and said, “A bath is possible, but your body is too large, so it might be a bit difficult. Come with me first.”
She led the Flood Dragon towards the public bathroom, where there was a huge hot spring pool. She had never used it before, only knowing that such a place existed on the hovercar.
As soon as the Flood Dragon reached the hot spring pool, he quickly shrunk his body and dove in: 【Ah, this is so comfortable! I haven’t had a bath in so long. Human, you are truly a good person! 】
Sang Chu: “.” So you can change size! Then why were you flying so high just now, so huge…
Sang Chu was speechless for a moment, but seeing the Flood Dragon satisfied, she also breathed a sigh of relief.
“This is warm water, and here is the cold water outlet. I’ll also install an extra water source for you. This place will be exclusively yours from now on.”
As Sang Chu took out the water source, the Flood Dragon looked at the thing that was smaller than his palm: 【This thing can produce water? 】
“Yes, all the water sources on the car come from these water storage devices.”
After she connected the water source, bubbles began to rise from the bottom of the pool. The Flood Dragon excitedly dove straight in. Sang Chu, seeing him having fun, said, “Then you soak here. Call me if you need anything. My name is Sang Chu. I’ll be going out now.”
【Go on, go on. Just bring me the food later! 】
After returning to New City with Sang Chu’s optical computer and house building machine,
Tu You immediately found Lin Mu Xue, “Big beauty, let’s hurry up and build the base! A Chu and the others will be back soon!”
Mu Xue was quite startled by the address “Big beauty”: “Who are you calling?”
“You! Didn’t you say you were beautiful as a flower and loved by everyone?”
Hearing this, Lin Mu Xue shivered, goosebumps rising all over her: “I, I was just saying it to myself. When you say it like that, it creeps me out.”
“Miss, hurry up, they’re already on their way!”
Lin Mu Xue’s round, big eyes glared at Tu You: “I know, I’ve already chosen the location. Let’s go!”
At this time, Grandmother was still sleeping. Lin Mu Xue left her a message and then got out of the car with Tu You.
Mu Xue: “Look, isn’t this very suitable?”
The place she chose was a mountain hollow, surrounded by high mountains on all sides, making it difficult to descend. If they were to build tall buildings, it would be very dangerous.
However, it was quite suitable for building an underground city.
“Then here?”
Mu Xue: “I think, yes!”
The person and the rabbit were very satisfied and quickly started the house building machine.
As Tu You operated on Sang Chu’s optical computer, Mu Xue beside him exclaimed, “Holy crap, that’s fast!”
Hearing the sound, Tu You looked up. A simple two-story stone house had already been built.
“So fast?”
He also hadn’t expected it at all!
Mu Xue: “It’s a shame we can’t see what it looks like underground, otherwise…”
“No problem, we can monitor it in real-time on the optical computer. Wait a moment!”
Before Mu Xue could finish speaking, she was interrupted. Tu You then activated the real-time monitoring mode. Watching the house building robot construct the house from top to bottom, even finishing the interior decoration, left them stunned.
The person and the rabbit looked at each other.
What about the promised half a month?
It felt like it wouldn’t take that long at all!
Building a city in a month was calculated based on the time in the Monster Transformation World, where both land and plants were difficult to clear, making construction very troublesome.
But the apocalypse was different. Although the land in the apocalypse had viruses, it was soft. Even with stones, it was easier to clear than the soil in the Monster Transformation World.
Therefore, directly constructing houses in the apocalypse didn’t require any extra energy, which was why it was so fast!
Sliding directly into the underground city through the passage, walking on the street, Mu Xue couldn’t believe it as she swallowed: “This, this, it’s, done!”
Tu You: “Mhm!”
Mu Xue: “Am I really not dreaming?”
Tu You: “Probably not. I saw it too!”
“Oh my heavens, didn’t A Chu say it would take a month to build a city? How long has it been!”
Tu You looked at the construction time displayed on the optical computer, his expression dazed: “2 hours and 35 minutes.”
The underground city was currently as empty as a ghost town. Even with a small rabbit flying around, Mu Xue still felt a chill.
She directly reached out and hugged Tu You: “Little rabbit, how about we go out first? It’s too eerie here, so empty, it’s a bit scary.”
After the shock, only fear remained.
Tu You, however, looked at the empty space and said, “No rush. There’s still some time before A Chu and the others return anyway. Let’s try to build those greenhouses A Chu mentioned!”
Mu Xue: “You mean the greenhouses we used to grow vegetables before the apocalypse?”
Tu You: “Yes, yes, exactly those. The less people know about A Chu’s ability to travel between worlds, the better, otherwise she’ll be in danger. But if your base has this scale, and plant-type supernatural ability users, with food and drink, people won’t find it strange!”
Mu Xue was silent for a moment, then nodded repeatedly: “You’re right. So how do we do it now?”
“Draw it out!”
