MTL - I’m the City Lord of the Last Days-Chapter 48
Song Xingcheng's half-open smile froze, and he looked at He Qianshan with dark eyes in a daze.
He Qianshan didn't let them go, but he got closer. He stared into Song Xingcheng's eyes and asked directly, "Are you afraid of me?"
"No!" Song Xingcheng denied it immediately, subconsciously looked away, raised her hand and pulled the hair on the back of her head, hesitated, and said in a low voice, "I just feel a little embarrassed."
He Qianshan laughed and said reassuringly, "Don't be embarrassed, Chengzi is so cute, there must be many people confessing to you, what you have rejected, can't even friends do it?"
After asking, He Qianshan carefully observed Song Xingcheng's expression. Song Xingcheng really followed his train of thought and fell into deep thought. Song Xingcheng really received a lot of confessions, most of them from girls. After he resolutely refused, his heart There is no fluctuation, there are two confessions from male classmates, and after the same decisive rejection, there is no fluctuation, but He Qianshan is different...
What is the difference?
Song Xingcheng looked at He Qianshan, with helplessness in his eyes, and finally calmed down without resisting, and asked He Qianshan to massage his shoulders. Then the two returned to the small building by the lake together.
They went up to the second floor together, and before they were about to enter the door, He Qianshan called someone to stop him, and as usual, he took out two porcelain bottles of energy beads from the room and gave them to Song Xingcheng. Say goodnight to each other and go back to your room.
The room was quiet and very sleep-friendly. Song Xingcheng, who was tired and relaxed, soon fell asleep until she was woken up by the system panel and the alarm clock.
After waking up, Song Xingcheng casually glanced at the panel, got dressed, walked out of the small building, and soon walked to the next door to the City Lord's Mansion.
The gate of the City Lord's Mansion opened as soon as it was pushed, and the hall was bright and empty.
Song Xingcheng set that each city resident can only stay in the City Lord's Mansion for ten minutes at a time, and the cumulative amount of each day cannot exceed 30 minutes. In the middle of the night, no one comes to the City Lord's Mansion.
Today, the number of city residents has also been increasing, reaching 167 by the time of dark, although some survivors registered as city residents just to come to the city lord's mansion to use the bathroom.
Song Xingcheng walked through the hall, walked to the stairs on one side, paused, and stepped up.
Sure enough, the transparent barrier mentioned by the other survivors did not exist for him, and Song Xingcheng went upstairs smoothly.
The City Lord's Mansion has three floors. The first floor is the hall open to the outside world. The things that can be handled are still under research and development.
There are three partitions on the second floor, which are the reception room, study room and
and control room.
The most important of these is the control room. When Song Xingcheng walked into the control room, his first impression was that it was full of technology. In the center of the room was a 3D model of the current city, not only the above-ground parts, but also various underground pipes.
Song Xingcheng involuntarily approached the model and reached out to try to touch it. As his hand slid across, the three-dimensional city projection flipped. When his finger rested on a certain building, he would get a detailed introduction.
After studying for a while, Song Xingcheng confirmed that the control room in the City Lord's Mansion is the real core of the city management system.
For example, the control room is a computer, and the system panel is a mobile phone. The portable system panel is indeed convenient and easy to use, but compared with a computer with more powerful hardware, the various details and functions are still a bit inferior.
For example, Song Xingcheng could even find the function of changing the exterior wall material and room layout of the City Lord's Mansion in the control room.
There are also small buildings with bricks and tiles. In fact, there are more than ten alternative shapes. Although the different shapes are only slightly different in the pattern and color of the walls and tiles, they still provide choices for the richness of the city.
The details of the system roads are also very interesting. Song Xingcheng only knew that the system roads were extended by 20 meters with 1 energy point. It turns out that as long as 1 energy point is added, there will be street lights on this road? Add 1 point, and you can also have flower beds and green plants?
And these functions are simplified on the portable panel.
The good news is that Song Xingcheng quickly found a way to synchronize the abbreviated functions to the system panel. He can add the functions he is interested in to the panel, and prepare the less necessary functions to be set in the control room later.
In addition to the central city model in the control room, there is also a super large screen, which can display the same content as the Song Xingcheng panel, because the screen is larger and can display more detailed information.
For example [The furniture factory has harvested, please check! ] followed by detailed furniture types and the output quantity of each type of furniture.
For example [The chicken coop has been harvested, please check it! ] followed by 5 catties of chicken breast and 5 catties of chicken thigh. A list of 4 catties of single-yolk eggs and 1 catty of double-yolk eggs.
The cement factory successfully harvested 10 units of cement, and Song Xingcheng put it in the warehouse for storage. The materials for upgrading only one small building should be saved first.
Of course, these are small details. What excited Song Xingcheng the most was that he made a major discovery about the Public Security Bureau.
The built public security bureau comes with 6 robot security guards. According to the "Code of Work for Public Security Officers", they work in groups of 2, rotate every hour, and patrol back and forth on the empty urban system roads.
After patrolling, return to the Public Security Bureau to charge for one hour and stand by for one hour.
In theory, the robots only need to maintain the security and order of the system city, but in fact, they also have a higher-level order, that is, everything must obey the orders of the city lord.
After learning about the functions of the robots in detail, Song Xingcheng felt that it would be a waste to only arrange them to patrol the system city with only two and a half roads. After communicating with the highly intelligent robot security guards, Song Xingcheng Orange tried to add content to the code of conduct for security officers.
First of all, there must be robots patrolling within the city limits of the system. Song Xingcheng arranged for two robots to be responsible for patrolling the city. Each time, one robot patrols alone, and the rotation takes place every hour.
The other 4 robots have been added to maintain law and order in areas outside the system city. 2 robots form a group, which is also rotated every hour.
Song Xingcheng was in the process of trying to make the newly added rules successful, and learned that the robot security guards of the Public Security Bureau can only leave the range of the Public Security Bureau for 5 kilometers at most, 5 kilometers? He thought it was enough.
After the rules were updated, the two robots that had been fully charged and were on standby immediately slid all the way to the high wall of the villa area.
According to the picture sent back from the robot's perspective, Song Xingcheng saw the robot slide to the 2-meter-high wall, shoot the hook rope upwards, and dragged himself over the wall and left the villa area.
Then the robots slid along the road until a zombie appeared on the video screen. Song Xingcheng immediately locked on the image of the zombie and asked the robots to record it. If they encountered such life characteristics in the future, they would kill them immediately.
The robot only knew how to obey orders, and immediately slid to the side of the zombie. A metal knife popped out from its upper body, and directly killed the unsuspecting zombie.
The zombies, who were in a state of excitement at night, had no idea that the silent and delicious iron bump would be so cloudy, and their heads were full of doubts when they fell down.
Song Xingcheng rubbed her hands excitedly, and ordered the robot to pick up the energy beads left behind after the zombies dissipated, successfully achieving the achievement of +1 energy beads.
Although the power of the robot security guards can only last for 1 hour before returning to the security bureau to recharge, they can clean up zombies and collect energy beads by themselves after all!
To build a public security bureau, Song Xingcheng is equivalent to having 4 good helpers who will spare no effort to help him collect energy beads regardless of time and pay!
The robot can identify humans and zombies on its own, without worrying about being injured and infected by zombies. It is simply the best helper.
All the way around the machine
After the human security guards killed 3 zombies, Song Xingcheng happily withdrew his attention and directly built 2 [Public Security Bureaus]. To be honest, he just fell in love with these robot security guards who obeyed orders!
5 simple wooden houses were built westward along the brick and tile building on the west side, followed by 2 [cement factories], followed by 3 [power plants], and 2 [water supply plants]. In terms of infrastructure, currently All the gaps were filled, and a total of 295 energy points were consumed.
After the completion of these, Song Xingcheng lingered in [Agriculture] - [Livestock] for a few laps, and finally couldn't help but build a [pig shed] and a [cow shed], which were built earlier. The east side of the chicken coop.
With only 56 points of energy left, Song Xingcheng remembered He Qianshan anyway, and built two [warehouses] in the upper left corner of the city for backup, and extended the road for 5 sections, and finally only 11 points of energy were left.
After the building was built, Song Xingcheng synchronized the control program of the robot security officer of the Public Security Bureau to the panel, so that he could check the situation of the robot anytime and anywhere, and adjust the "Work Rules for Security Officers" that ordered the robot in time.
Song Xingcheng was extremely excited about the important discovery of the robot in the Public Security Bureau. Fortunately, the time on the screen suppressed his excitement, and he had to go back to his room to rest.
Before leaving, Song Xingcheng took a quick look around the third floor of the city lord's mansion. The third floor is a rest space specially prepared for the city lord. There are bedrooms, a small kitchen, a gym, and so on. Song Xingcheng personally adjusted the soft decoration style. He likes it very much, but he still has to go back to the small brick building next door and sleep soundly.
After Song Xingcheng was woken up by the alarm clock at 5 o'clock in the morning, the first thing he did when he opened his eyes was to call out the system panel to check the details of the Public Security Bureau.
Song Xingcheng's eyes widened in surprise. Looking at the time of the night, the first 4 robots worked for 2 rounds each, and the 8 robots added after that worked for 1 round each. The total of 12 robots before and after was collected by Song Xingcheng Collected 324 energy beads!
Once these energy beads are brought back to the Public Security Bureau by the robot, they will be automatically credited to Song Xingcheng's account, so he now has 335 energy points again!
Song Xingcheng was overjoyed, and quickly pulled the progress bar to browse through the work screens recorded by the 12 robots. He didn't find any mistakes or omissions. When encountering a zombie, the robot would simply and rudely step forward, kill, and pick it up. It was simple and neat. Three steps, well done!
Although the robot can only move within 5 kilometers of the Public Security Bureau, the zombies within this 5 kilometers are enough for Song Xingcheng to develop well for a while.
What does it feel like to be rich overnight?
Song Xingcheng felt that he was probably in such a mood now!
It's not that the number of energy beads collected by the robot that night moved him so much, but that Song Xingcheng saw a bright road through this night's experiment.
So Song Xingcheng resolutely built 2 more [Public Security Bureaus], 1 [Sheep Pen], 1 [Restaurant], and 5 [Warehouses].
Looking at the five public security bureaus side by side, Song Xingcheng seemed to have seen his robots spread all over the villa area for 5 kilometers, and he didn't need to move at all, and the energy points on his account would continuously increase!
Song Xingcheng, who was happy and excited, hummed a song all the way and finished washing. As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw He Qianshan standing at the door waiting for him.
The first time He Qianshan saw Song Xingcheng, he realized that Song Xingcheng seemed to be very happy today, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "It seems that I slept well last night."
Song Xingcheng's joy was eager to share. Looking at He Qianshan, his eyes smiled into crescent moons, and he nodded repeatedly. Suddenly, he couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged He Qianshan, hugged him hard, and then let go. In He Qianshan's surprised expression, Song Xingcheng's dark round eyes were filled with sincere gratitude, and he said sincerely, "Brother He, thank you!"
Regardless of whether He Qianshan sent him the energy beads directly, or He Qianshan borrowed his weapon to take him into action and gave him the opportunity to collect energy beads, to be honest, without He Qianshan, it would be impossible for Song Xingcheng to push the city to the top right now. Level 5!
If military medals were to be awarded, most of the credit would go to He Qianshan, Song Xingcheng knew this, so he sincerely thanked him.
Following yesterday's realization that he already has the capital to survive and protect himself in the last days, today Song Xingcheng realizes that he actually has more, and even has the conditions to stay at home and wait for the energy beads to come to his door.
In the moment of thinking clearly, Song Xingcheng's worries, anxieties, and troubles about the future all disappeared. He even felt that he was more relaxed and carefree now than before the end of the world.
The consequence of dissipating his worries was that Song Xingcheng hugged He Qianshan on impulse. After he thanked him, he came to his senses and let go of his hand in embarrassment, trying to back off. Of course, He Qianshan would not give him this opportunity. The person hugged and leaned against the wall.
He Qianshan put one hand on Song Xingcheng's back to support him, and gently raised Song Xingcheng's shy and slightly drooping head with the other hand. His eyes were full of expectation, and he asked Song Xingcheng softly:
"You took the initiative to hug me...you agreed?"
He Qianshan seemed to hear his own heart beating faster and faster, Song Xingcheng took the initiative to hug him, could it be Fenglu
Turn, there is hope for love?
Song Xingcheng only felt her cheeks were burning hot, and her eyes flicked left and right, but she didn't dare to face He Qianshan until she realized that she was already trapped in the other party's arms. It was obvious that if she didn't give a clear answer, He Qianshan was going to let go. In the end, Song Xingcheng took a deep breath and raised his head to meet He Qianshan's gaze. Looking at each other for a moment, Song Xingcheng asked:
"Where did your gun come from?"
He Qianshan raised his eyebrows, and with a smile on his lips, he asked meaningfully: "Do you really want to know?"
Song Xingcheng nodded solemnly.
He Qianshan is not in a hurry now. From his point of view, he and Song Xingcheng have always had a tacit understanding of silence. Song Xingcheng is now taking the initiative to break the tacit understanding, which to a certain extent shows that he wants to change the state of their relationship. up.
He Qianshan simply pulled him back to his room, placed him on the sofa, poured a half cup of warm water for him, and at the same time notified Zheng Nianhao and the others to return to the manor for breakfast on their own through the walkie-talkie, and ordered some of Song Xingcheng's favorite food for him to eat. Zheng Nianhao packed it and brought it back.
Afterwards, He Qianshan sat down beside Song Xingcheng, reached out and patted Song Xingcheng's shoulder to signal the nervous questioner to relax, and then began to talk.
He Qianshan told the story of the dream novel he read on the first day of the end of the world and the experience of acquiring the talent for collecting weapons afterwards. Song Xingcheng listened carefully and was deeply surprised.
Now that he confessed, He Qianshan also performed the trick of appearing a weapon out of thin air in his hand, and finally took out a backpack that he had upgraded to level 3 and gave it to Song Xingcheng.
He Qianshan's backpack is very magical. After being upgraded to level 3, it can carry 300 units of supplies, but it is very light to carry, and it is a must-have artifact for going out.
He Qianshan wanted to give it away a long time ago, but the style of the backpack is too unique to hide, so he has not been able to take it out.
Along with the backpack, Song Xingcheng was given more than a dozen guns and a large number of magazines. He Qianshan touched Song Xingcheng's head contentedly. In this way, Song Xingcheng's safety was greatly guaranteed. Also rest assured a lot.
With her fingers clasped on her backpack, Song Xingcheng was silent for a moment, and then began to talk about the novel she had read in her dream and the talent she had acquired for building cities.
Although He Qianshan had already guessed in his heart, after hearing Song Xingcheng's detailed explanation with his own ears, he still felt that he had broken his imagination and was amazed.
What's interesting is that both of them subconsciously briefly brought up the experience of being framed in the novel, but after both of them finished telling the story, because the other cared, they could only take out that experience and study it carefully.
He Qianshan rarely showed a depressed expression on his face, and his tone was helpless:
"Actually, I think...with my personality, I shouldn't make those choices in the novel, but many details do confirm the authenticity of the novel."
Song Xingcheng nodded in agreement, and it was hard for him to imagine that He Qianshan would be coerced by his sister to run back and forth in various cities. He obviously has a strong talent, but there is no stable development environment at all. Died directly at the hands of my sister?
In the same way, He Qianshan also had a hard time imagining that Song Xingcheng would be deceived by people like Wu Jingran and Su Xiner, and ended up being cheated to death.
When the discussion reached the point of depression, the two looked at each other with frozen expressions.
"Perhaps... the background in the novel is true, but the story that happened to us is problematic..." He Qianshan put forward a hypothesis, and the two began to further check the details of the novel they had read, and found something wrong .
First of all, the beginning of the novel is written from the perspective of the two characters with the same name. They both subconsciously thought that it was the protagonist of the novel.
But can those characters who have made them cannon fodder really be able to play the role of "protagonist"?
Secondly, there is no trace of the other's existence in the novels the two read, and there are no rumors of related deeds, and the few characters with specific names do not overlap.
But on the other hand, the two different novels they read reveal the same background information, such as the causes and manifestations of the apocalypse, the function of energy beads, the changes of zombies and plants one month after the apocalypse, etc...even the descriptions are different. It's weirdly similar.
After comparing the novels, the two focused on their respective talents. Coincidentally, people like them who have obtained the system are called the gifted chosen ones, and this is what the two novels reveal at the same time.
Realizing that Song Xingcheng's city management system relies heavily on energy beads, He Qianshan directly gave Song Xingcheng all the twelve cans of energy beads he had accumulated.
Song Xingcheng was really dumbfounded.
He Qianshan grabbed Song Xingcheng's hand that wanted to reject him, and said seriously:
"Fate has its own destiny. Let the two of us meet again. The talents of the two of us are the most compatible. I am responsible for collecting energy beads, and you are responsible for consuming them. We should be the closest partners."
"But, but..." Song Xingcheng stumbled, and suddenly thought of an excellent reason, "In addition to upgrading the backpack, your talent also has a way to consume energy beads, resource reset, I think you should keep some of it for more trials Try resource reset."
He Qianshan was thoughtful, he felt that Song
What Xing Cheng said made sense.
Compared with Song Xingcheng who needs to consume energy beads to build every building, his talent seems to be too easy. Weapon resources can be found in any building. If the talent also follows the law of energy conservation, then his situation is a bit different. So right.
He Qianshan decided to learn from Song Xingcheng's experience and take the initiative to invest in energy beads.
So He Qianshan took two of the bottles of energy beads and put them in his backpack, promising that he would try to reset resources more, and then firmly put the remaining ten bottles into Song Xingcheng's backpack, and said with a smile:
"I like beef the most. Please help me build two more cowsheds."
Song Xingcheng was dumbfounded. According to He Qianshan's storage habits, ten bottles equals 2,000 energy beads. Two more cowsheds? Obviously, 40 more can be built!
He Qianshan looked at Song Xingcheng who was so cute in a daze, couldn't help but leaned over, blinked, and asked softly, "So...do you want to be with me?"
Song Xingcheng came back to his senses and saw himself in He Qianshan's eyes. This time, he didn't restrain his willingness to rush to his lips. He nodded and solemnly replied: "Yes."
who cares! Mom was right, the most important thing is to have fun in time, no one knows which will come first, tomorrow or the accident, if he doesn't have tomorrow, he will probably regret that he didn't agree to He Qianshan's confession today.
He Qianshan smiled when he heard the affirmative answer, and stretched out his arms to hug Song Xingcheng tightly.
It was the first time Song Xingcheng saw He Qianshan laugh so flamboyantly and wantonly that Song Xingcheng felt a little silly.
But obviously so stupid, Song Xingcheng laughed too.
The two hugged each other, nose to nose, eyes to eyes, eyes full of each other, smiling very brightly, no matter what tomorrow is, at least right now their hearts are filled with bubbles of joy, those bubbles surround the two By your side, every touch is double the happiness.
Until Zheng Nianhao who came to deliver breakfast knocked on the door.
He Qianshan straightened Song Xingcheng upright, smoothed the hem of his clothes before getting up to open the door, he couldn't help but raised his hand and pressed his forehead while walking, it was amazing, he actually had the urge to give the team another day off immediately in his heart. Because he wanted to hold his lover together all day, so that the materials waiting for them to collect in the warehouse were not attractive at all.
The closed door opened, and when Zheng Nianhao saw He Qianshan, he froze on the spot, and even took a step back subconsciously, my God, why is the boss smiling?
Dazedly, he handed the breakfast in his hand to He Qianshan, and after listening to He Qianshan's instructions, until the door closed in front of his eyes again, Zheng Nianhao still felt as if he was in a dream, subconsciously walked to the window at the end of the corridor, looked up Where does the sun rise from today?
