How to Feed an Abyss!

They wrapped the bones of Liszt and several other fighters in cloth.

Time is running out and space is limited, so the bones can only be placed in the corner of the communication center first.

They also discovered why robot 0293 never responded:

The equipment that received the signal was broken, and it was completely broken: a large pile of scrap metal was piled on the top floor, and the wires were exposed/exposed. 0293 is obviously not a full-time communicator, it is more like... Liszt's personal robot, it is the only one left, and it can only be called to guard the communication center.

A personal robot that is supposed to do housework, of course, is unaware of instrument failures.

Even if it is aware of it, it cannot be repaired.

These days, 0293 has been shouting at instruments that can't pick up the signal.

Robot 0293 circled happily and invited them: "Guests, are you going to visit the city?"

Lu Tinghan nodded and said, "Take us there."

They followed 0293 out of the comms center and down the street. 0293 The warning lights on the side of the screen flickered, and lights lit up above the head and on both sides of the street, bright everywhere. The Mole Man stretched out his hand to cover the light, but couldn't help being curious, and looked out quietly.

—They had heard Devin and Gerald talk about Dunton many times.

Almost all of them are the new generation of Mole People. As long as they can remember, they live in the dark "nest". What they see are the ruins of the city, and they yearn for the legendary prosperous city. Now they have finally arrived, and the endless long streets, gorgeous street lights and towering and magnificent buildings in their dreams are all within easy reach.

A mole man stretched out his hand and pushed open a dark blue door. Inside was a family, old sofas, TVs, vases, coffee tables, stools, dining tables and bookshelves...everything, strange and familiar. His eyes widened. Although he had never seen such a scene before, a warm feeling reverberated in his heart. He knew that he belonged here.

0293 introduced while walking: "Now the energy sources have returned to normal, including the underground farms have also started to operate. If you go there, you can see the newly grown wheat."

Lu Tinghan: "With underground farms, how can there be famine?"

"This is a complicated issue. I need to consult the information." The signal light of 0293 flashed yellow frantically, and he replied after a few seconds, "The energy shortage in the city before, the generator was damaged, the energy core was insufficient, and solar and wind energy could not be used, which caused the farm to paralysis of buildings, hospitals, command centers, etc.”

Shi Yuan suddenly thought of the main city.

After the fall of Fengyang City, the main city was also short of resources, and the power was often cut off. But because of the energy core rescued by Lu Tinghan, at least the military and the hospital can still work. This is a blessing in misfortune.

But Liszt and the others were not so lucky.

Gamma Abyss and Delta Abyss rioted together, and "breeding frenzy" and "thunderstorm" intersected. They did their best just to defend Dunton, let alone go out to find other supplies. It wasn't the monster that killed them in the end, it was this long-drawn-out war of attrition.

0293 continued: "Ton's energy system is broken. 5 senior engineers in Lister's army have all died. Lack of materials and technology, and their repairs are not smooth. I fell into a deep sleep 17 years ago, and the other machines Also, I just woke up 2 years ago."

2 years ago, around the time the Alliance heard the Imperial communications.

No wonder the empire didn't respond at first, 0293 woke up later, and received the "echo" signal as soon as he woke up.

No wonder the "Scorching Sun" didn't emerge from the ground before, and its energy was only recently recovered.

Lu Tinghan said: "But they finally repaired the energy source."

"Yes, otherwise I wouldn't wake up." 0293 said as he walked, "I read the previous data and learned about General Lister's experience. At the same time, Lister told me before I fell asleep that if I can still Wake up, and if Leon is still safe at that time, I will broadcast the coordinates of Leon. He said, 'As long as there is energy, this will be the most ideal place to live'."

Di Wen asked hoarsely, "Why are they still dead after the energy source is repaired?"

0293 replied: "According to my information, it takes time to accumulate energy. Thirteen years ago, they repaired part of the energy system, but the energy pool was empty, and they didn't wait until the system operated again."

Shi Yuan calculated, 0293 woke up 2 years ago, and the accumulation of energy was longer than expected.

They couldn't hold on until the system was restored.

During the conversation, they came to a white building similar to a greenhouse.

0293 led them in, the light was dazzling, and the mole men shrank at the door, not daring to enter.

The artificial sunlight falls from the sky, with sufficient heat, the turquoise wheat is growing vigorously, and the colors are vibrant, making people's eyes bright.

Shi Yuan thought of the wheat fields in Gleaming City.

When the empire built the underground city, it naturally thought of the issue of food. As long as there is energy, Duncan can achieve self-sufficiency.

0293 also saw the reluctance of the Mole Man, stood at the door of the shed and said: "The energy accumulation was very slow at the beginning. I read the records of the energy pool, and the energy in the first 8 years made little progress, and only accumulated 5. Then that 5 energy is sent to power plants, wind farms and other buildings, and when they start running, we have a lot of energy and start a virtuous circle. Now, our energy pool has reached 30 savings, which can guarantee the most basic building operations."

It showed an electronic smile: "The subsequent energy savings will only be faster! General Liszt told me that when they can't hold on and they can't fight anymore, he will order the soldiers to commit suicide. As long as there are no survivors, the monster will die." It will be so easy to find, and the city will survive."

It circled happily: "So congratulations! You have a safe and secure city!"

Di Wen blocked the artificial sunlight with his hands.

She stared intently at the wheat field, which was full of vitality with a little yellow in the green color.

"It's his ... it's their legacy," she said.

She just looked at it so firmly, and asked 0293: "Did General Lister ever mention the name 'Alicia'?"

"Please wait a moment, the search record is being searched." 0293's screen flickered, "...the recorded conversation has been queried, but there is no record about 'Alicia'."

Before he died, he always wore the gold pocket watch, but he didn't mention her name at all.

It was as if Liszt was still the silent officer standing in front of her, hiding a secret and never telling it.

"..." Di Wen smiled.

They left the shed and went to every corner of Dunton.

Wherever 0923 walked, small lights would be lit along the road. It said that it has been patrolling frequently in the past two years, just like the housekeeper of this city, doing its best to ensure that everything is normal.

Shi Yuan saw the roaring power plant, and countless machines he had never seen before were running, delivering electricity to the city. Geothermal plants, coal-fired plants, wind powered by undamaged windmills on the ground and fire powered by robots mining for oil and coal, are also at work, as are thermal power plants and wind farms.

He saw several large greenhouses, where cabbage, radishes, and potatoes were planted, and the picking robots picked the mature plants and sent them to the food processing factory. Only a quarter of the food processing plant is functioning, processing plants into cans and piling them up in warehouses. When they went to the warehouse, there were two large shelves full of cans, the result of the past two years.

He also saw dark automatic turrets, terrifying laser weapons, just like what he saw on the walls of the main city, military facilities with high energy priority, they are running all the time, defending the city's Safety. The lights were not on in the hospital, but basic equipment was available if they wanted to.

The Mole Man looked around.

Just like when Shi Yuan first entered the city, they were full of curiosity about everything, and from time to time they got into the houses and shops on the side of the road to find out and exclaimed.

"Dewin!" they shouted, "the city is exactly as you said!"

They also said: "Can we live here forever in the future?!"

"I love it here! It's so much better than the lair!"

"Mr. Gerald didn't lie to us. The houses in the city are hard everywhere. It's a good place! I want to stay!"

"What is this, the 'bakery' you mentioned? Is it a 'coffee shop' over there!"

"And what is this? I seem to have picked up a camera... It should be called a camera. It is the kind of machine that can retain the appearance of a person. I have seen it in a book."

They had endless questions, and Di Wen answered them one by one with a smile.

Dunton was so big that it took them five full days to see the city.

Lu Tinghan confirmed that Dunton's defense was intact, and that it was indeed suitable for the "deep dive" plan.

On the evening of the fifth day, the crowd gathered in the little square in Leon. It is very cold underground at night, and the heating system is too extravagant and unnecessary. They have been lighting bonfires to keep warm these days.

The flames danced brightly, Shi Yuan wrapped himself in Lu Tinghan's overcoat, and sat by the campfire, a white mist rose from his mouth.

The Mole Man was still afraid of light, so he huddled together in a little distance away. They chatted excitedly, talking about where they went today, and saw beautiful churches and marble statues, and the beds in the room were so soft that they could sleep peacefully until dawn.

And Chi Yongge discovered a piece of good news: Bruno, the mole man who voluntarily injected inhibitors, was not so afraid of light anymore.

Bruenor walked towards the campfire step by step, until the flames fell into his eyes. Looking carefully, the black fur on his arms had faint signs of falling off, and his back seemed to no longer be so curved.

He stared blankly at the flames.

It was jumping, very warm, orange-red, burning a hole in the boundless darkness.

This is a little sun in the ground.

Tears welled up in his eyes.

Lu Tinghan told the alliance that Dunton was safe and livable.

There was cheering in the command center, and people stood up excitedly, screaming, cheering, and hugging each other. Thousands of kilometers apart at this moment, they share the same joy.

"Dewin!" the Mole Man was still yelling, "Can we really live here?"

"Yeah." Di Wen held a cup of hot water, "We will live here for the time being, and when the alliance can imitate the signal of the abyss, we can stay forever."

The Mole Man cheered.

"We're going home!" they said.

"Yes." Di Wen said.

When Shi Yuan looked over, he didn't know if it was because the fire was too bright, or the white mist filled with hot water was too hazy. He felt that there was something shining in Di Wen's eyes.

She smiled and said, "Yeah, we're going home."
