MTL - I’m the City Lord of the Last Days-Chapter 17
Zheng Nianhao joined in the experiment, took out the water bottle in his backpack, opened the bottle cap and poured it towards the wide open wooden door. Under the witness of everyone, the splashed water seemed to hit a wall, and he couldn't move forward. Instead, slide down the wall.
The expressions of the people at the scene were uncertain, and the picture of water sliding down the air was beyond their cognition.
Song Xingcheng did know that the system house had a setting of "no entry except with the owner's permission", but it was the first time he saw the implementation of this setting with his own eyes, and the surprise on his face was unmistakable.
In comparison, He Qianshan was the most acceptable. As long as He Qianshan thinks of his special talent of being able to pick up weapons, he can calmly accept that other people's talents are beyond the existing scientific explanation.
He Qianshan signaled everyone to wait a moment, and he went to check the situation first.
Song Xingcheng stood at the back all the time and summoned the system panel. When he woke up in the morning, he still had 3 points of energy left in the system. After cleaning the villa area in the morning, he harvested 18 energy beads, and the number in the upper right corner of the panel became 21.
As He Qianshan threw energy beads into the small metal hole, the number representing the energy point in the upper right corner of the panel also changed to 22.
After thinking about it, Song Xingcheng also took out an energy bead, passed a few people and stuffed it into the small metal hole on the wooden door, and then walked into the wooden house.
He has long wanted to take a good look at the interior of the system house, and now is a good opportunity.
The others were amazed at Song Xingcheng's decisiveness, but they didn't know whether the energy bead had returned to Song Xingcheng's pocket after a full circle, and the number on the upper right corner of his panel hadn't changed at all.
He Qianshan had already walked to the two opposite wooden doors in the middle of the corridor, and then saw Song Xingcheng walking in.
There was disapproval in He Qianshan's eyes, but the disobedient child had already entered, and it was too late to say anything, so he could only wave his hand to signal Song Xingcheng to follow behind him, and then cautiously pushed open the wooden door in the corridor.
The wooden door opened, revealing the empty room inside. Sunlight leaked in through the wooden window, illuminating the rectangular room of more than forty square meters. There was nothing in the room except two faucets placed in different positions.
He Qianshan walked over and turned on the faucet casually. To his surprise, clear water flowed out, but there was no sewage facility in the room, and the water could only spread on the wooden floor.
He Qianshan pondered, among other things, the water supply in Mian'an City has been stopped, where does the water here come from?
Not only did Song Xingcheng not listen to He Qianshan, but followed behind him
He also specifically avoided He Qianshan, opened the wooden door on the other side of the corridor, and looked carefully at the room with sparkling eyes.
Although the interior of the wooden house looked empty and simple at this time, Song Xingcheng, who was standing in the center of the room, was in a very happy mood.
Ah, it was all his house! There will be more in the future!
While He Qianshan and Song Xingcheng were exploring the interior of the wooden house, Han Qinmin and Zheng Nianhao outside the wooden house were not idle, using various methods to test the invisible and intangible barriers of the wooden house, whether it was kicking, smashing with an axe, Shooting or even igniting the fire could not have any effect on the wooden house, and it was impossible to enter the wooden house. This simple-looking house seemed to have a golden bell cover.
In fact, their actions still had an impact, and a prompt popped up on Song Xingcheng's system panel all the time:
[Someone tried to attack the shabby wooden house, is it blacklisted? 】
Song Xingcheng had no choice but to keep choosing "No", and her small eyes were full of helplessness when she glanced outside the gate.
It was He Qianshan who stopped Han Qinmin and Zheng Nianhao from frantically testing the bottom line of the wooden house. He walked around the room twice, walked to the door of the wooden house, and signaled Han Qinmin and Zheng Nianhao to stop violent testing and try with energy beads.
Although Han Qinmin and Zheng Nianhao were not as active in collecting energy beads as He Qianshan and Song Xingcheng, they still had a lot of energy beads in their hands. Immediately, Zheng Nianhao took out one and tried to stuff it into the metal hole on the wooden door.
As a result, the small hole seemed to be sealed, unable to inject energy beads. Instead, a new message was added under the information showing the rent:
[The two rooms in this wooden house have been rented out. Do you want to apply to the owner to be a roommate?
whether】
Zheng Nianhao chose "Yes" under He Qianshan's signal, and then the corresponding information was displayed on the back of the door:
【Is the applicant allowed to be your roommate?
whether】
This information can only be seen by He Qianshan and Song Xingcheng who are in the wooden house. As soon as He Qianshan chose "Yes", Zheng Nianhao found that the transparent barrier that blocked him before disappeared, and he stepped into the wooden house .
However, for the two rooms on the left and right of the corridor, Zheng Nianhao could only open the one that He Qianshan entered, but he couldn't open the one that Song Xingcheng entered.
After repeated trials, everyone finally figured out how the wooden house works.
A simple wooden house has two rooms. The two people who pay the energy beads first become the owners of the two rooms by default. Afterwards, each room can accommodate two more people, and the occupancy condition is the owner's permission.
In other words, with 2 energy beads, a total of 6 people can live in a simple wooden house. Press "Admiralty"
In terms of strength, hiding in a wooden house is equivalent to having safety.
Of course, the homeowner who pays the energy beads first takes the initiative and can expel disliked roommates on the panel at the door of his room.
After studying the wooden house, everyone went to check next to the water tower-like building next to the wooden house. They could not enter the water tower. They only saw a notice on the gate of the water tower, which read:
[Level 1 water supply plant: can supply pure and sweet water]
Probably the emergence of the end of the world has broken people's three views, so after the initial shock, several people accepted the existence of this group of special buildings, and then discussed the countermeasures.
"In my opinion, the greatest value of these wooden houses lies in their strong protection. We have tried various methods but can't force our way in, and others will definitely be stopped. Although it looks like a wooden building, its protection is far beyond conventional concepts. Wooden buildings may be of great use in times of danger.”
Han Qinmin said affirmatively, he really tried all kinds of methods, but he couldn't break through the invisible and transparent protective cover of the wooden house. He was confident in his own force, so he was very sure of the wooden house's protective ability.
He Qianshan nodded, glanced across a row of wooden houses, and arranged:
"Let's take a wooden house and continue to observe the situation. As for the time, let's set it for a month. After Nian Hao, remember to take the water in the wooden house back for testing. If there is no problem, use it as domestic water."
While speaking, He Qianshan poured out a large handful of energy beads from his ceramic cup, and stuffed them into the small metal holes on the wooden door one after another. I don't know where those energy beads have gone, anyway, there is no trace of the small hole being filled.
He Qianshan stuffed 19, and a new prompt appeared on the wooden door, asking if he was sure to rent a room for a month.
He Qianshan raised his eyebrows. This wooden door is quite smart, including the energy bead he invested in before.
After He Qianshan finished stuffing, Song Xingcheng stepped forward to follow the stuffing, He Qianshan stopped him, and took out 19 energy beads to Song Xingcheng, explaining:
"You didn't rent this room to live in, but for me to do the test. Of course, I will pay the rent, and you should keep it well."
After speaking, without hesitation, Song Xingcheng put the energy beads in his hand into the small metal hole.
Song Xingcheng used one hand as a tool, glanced at the energy points in the upper right corner of the panel that had grown all the way to 60, the villain in his heart bit his finger, oops, Second Brother He contributed 39% to his city construction in the blink of an eye With some energy, the favor owed is getting bigger and bigger, how can I pay it back in the future?
Forget it, there are too many lice and it doesn't itch
Don't worry if you have too much debt, just let it go. Song Xiaocheng lay flat and spread out, giving up struggling.
After learning about the newly-appeared weird buildings, the six people were divided into two teams again, continued to clear out the last dozen or so villas, and then returned to the Hejia Manor one after another.
At this time, many people had gathered in the lobby of the main building of the Hejia Manor. Most of them were trapped at home for a whole day. They were rescued by the He family with guns in their hands in the morning. , and it is not good to delay the progress of the rescue, so he had to bring a gift to the He Family Manor and wait.
Getting off the sightseeing car parked at the door, Song Xingcheng just walked to the gate of the villa when he saw two people inside that he didn't want to see. Looking at the sight, Song Xingcheng smiled embarrassedly, and said in a low voice:
"I'm a little tired. I want to go back to my room and have a rest. Call me again when you have lunch."
Then he turned to the small door at the back of the main building, avoided the people in the hall and went upstairs.
Naturally, He Qianshan also saw the guests waiting in the lobby, and thought that Song Xingcheng avoided them on purpose because he thought they were bothersome, instead of forcing him, he nodded to express his understanding and let the little guy slip away.
At this time, Wu Jingran and Su Xiner, who were shrinking in the corner of the He family hall, naturally did not know what was happening outside the door.
Wu Jingran and Su Xin'er found Song Xingcheng's house yesterday, but there was no answer when they knocked on the door, and they couldn't climb over the wall to enter the villa. They were afraid that they would be overtaken by zombies if they stayed too long, so they ran to the depths of the villa area. It was because Wu Jingran vaguely remembered that when he was a guest at Song Xingcheng's house, Song Xuedi accidentally mentioned that there were vacant villas in the Yamu villa area.
Wu Jingran and Su Xiner were very lucky. They found a villa whose owner hadn't returned. The villa was only surrounded by flower walls. The two climbed over the half-person-high flower wall, smashed the glass with the pebbles in the backyard, and entered the room through the window to hide. up.
There was food and bottled drinking water in the house. Apart from the fear in their hearts, the two of them didn't feel wronged by hiding in the house for a day and a night.
Even luckier, they ran into rescuers the next morning in the last days.
Han Qinmin, who was in charge of rescuing the villa where Wu Jingran and Su Xiner lived, didn't know that the two were not the original owners of the villa. He just inquired outside the door and left directly after learning that there were no zombies inside.
On the contrary, Wu Jingran and Su Xin'er struggled for a while and wanted to try to get in touch with Han Qinmin. After all, people with guns in the post-apocalyptic world are really not ordinary people.
It just so happened that a family member next door was also rescued by Han Qinmin and the three of them, and they were about to go to the He Family Manor to thank them in person. Wu Jingran and Su Xiner hurriedly excused that they also wanted to thank them in person, and followed them to the He Family Manor.
