Chapter 201 Searching for a Sub-Base Construction Office
After entering the cave, the light from outside could not shine in, making the cave very dark. Fortunately, Wang Jin and Yang Ling both have night vision, so they don't worry about getting lost.
"There used to be a light outside, but it was later taken away by the bad guys from Lingnan Base."
Seeing this familiar environment, Yang Ling's eyes were very sad, and her eyes were red and she tried hard not to let her tears fall.
Wang Jin walked in front, constantly looking around, and did not notice the sadness in Yang Ling's eyes.
As the passage continued to go down, Wang Jin came to a huge open space, which had an area of at least 20,000 to 30,000 square meters, a height of more than ten meters, and less than 30 meters from the ground. Although the area was large enough, it was too close to the ground and too low, and it was not suitable for a sub-base hatching point.
Human bones were scattered all over this space, and there were tattered clothes and various garbage on the ground. I think it was the ground where Yang Ling and his friends lived before. This space can accommodate thousands of people without any problem. The corpses and garbage on the ground should be the masterpieces of Lingnan Base. They were all survivors killed by Lingnan Base and looted materials.
Originally, Yang Ling could still hold back her tears. Now that she came to this space and saw the scattered bones on the ground, she could no longer hold back the sadness in her heart. Her shoulders shook like a sieve, and crystal tears crossed her pure face, which made people feel a little distressed.
Wang Jin only saw Yang Ling's sadness at this time, and didn't know how to comfort her. After all, she was a little girl. The scene in front of him was normal in the end of the world. If it was someone else, Wang Jin would only laugh at her tears here, but for this lovely little girl, Wang Jin couldn't bear to say it out loud.
"Well! Brother, I hate it so much. I hate that I don't have the strength. Otherwise, everyone wouldn't have to sacrifice in vain, and Grandpa Chen, who is the best to me, wouldn't have died." Yang Ling buried her little head in Wang Jin's chest, crying, and her tears wet Wang Jin's clothes.
"This is the end of the world. You still have a lot to learn. If you believe what Brother Wang said, wipe your tears. The end of the world does not believe in tears, let alone weakness. If you want to survive better, you must learn to be strong. No matter how hard or tired you are, don't show your weak and sad side."
Wang Jin let the little girl hug him, while he stretched out his rough big hand to wipe away Yang Ling's tears, and persuaded Yang Ling loudly.
This was said to Yang Ling and to Wang Jin himself. From an ordinary survivor to a leader who controlled 100,000 people, Wang Jin had suffered all kinds of hardships, but Wang Jin would not be weak or afraid of any kind of hardships. He was only tough and fierce. That's why people in the Lishan Base called Wang Jin a tyrant, which was also one of the reasons for Wang Jin's success.
"Well, I will definitely be a strong person like Brother Wang in the future and never cry again." Yang Ling raised her head from Wang Jin's arms, her eyes more firm than ever before.
"Then you can get up from me now, my clothes are wet." Wang Jin's serious face suddenly turned, and he winked at Yang Ling and said with a smile: "Fortunately, there are no outsiders here, otherwise you would think I made you cry."
Two blushes appeared on Yang Ling's delicate face. She hurriedly left Wang Jin's body, and she was so nervous that she stuttered: "No, sorry, Brother Wang. Brother Wang, I didn't mean it."
"Okay. I didn't say you did it on purpose." Wang Jin rubbed the other's head and stopped teasing the shy little girl. He pointed to the dozens of passages connecting this space and frowned and said: "Yang Ling, let's go through that passage first."
"Let's go this way! Anyway, it's just drawing a map, it doesn't matter which one we go." Yang Ling pointed to a passage and took Wang Jin to it, which made Wang Jin's head black. This is a very important task, okay? You look indifferent, and I thought we were going to the vegetable market to buy vegetables!
But the next step still depends on the little girl to work, so Wang Jin followed her and walked into this passage with her.
After arriving at the passage, Yang Ling took out a pen and paper from her backpack, closed her eyes, used her supernatural power to sense the surrounding environment, and drew it on a white paper, which was similar to Wang Jin's use of the host to draw a map.
The difference is that Yang Ling's supernatural power can ignore the terrain and observe the environment of several kilometers without hindrance, including deep underground.
Although Wang Jin's host's detection range is much farther than Yang Ling's, it can only detect a distance of more than 200 meters underground, and it cannot detect deeper places.
So Wang Jin needs Yang Ling to be his guide and help him draw a map. When the time comes, he can follow the map and find the location of the sub-base he needs to build.
Yang Ling is undoubtedly much more serious when working. With his eyes closed, he writes on the white paper with his fingers. The map he draws is much better than Wang Jin's with his eyes open. The map drawn by Wang Jin is a mess of lines. Except for Wang Jin himself, others will only think it is a child's graffiti and can't recognize it as a map at all.
The map drawn by Yang Ling was much more detailed, with many annotations on it, and it was countless times more vivid than the map drawn by Wang Jin. At least everyone could recognize it as a map at a glance, and would not mistake it for a child's graffiti.
Wang Jin knew that his handwriting was ugly and his drawing was not much better, so he was very self-aware and did not compare it. Of course, there was no comparison.
Wang Jin just walked with Yang Ling and drew. Whenever Yang Ling finished drawing a picture, Wang Jin would take it and check it to find the terrain he needed.
Unfortunately, none of the terrain nearby meets Wang Jin's needs. Either the area is too small, the height is not up to standard, or it is too close to the ground, which is easy to be discovered and not hidden enough.
After drawing several maps in a row, Yang Ling's innocent face was covered with sweat. She also needs to consume energy to use her superpowers. Yang Ling, who is still a first-level mutant, cannot bear such consumption. She has to stop to rest and eat the second-level mutant beast meat given by Wang Jin to quickly restore her physical energy and continue to draw maps.
However, until the night fell outside, the two people who walked dozens of kilometers underground still found nothing. A good underground base is not so easy to find. If there is a place for Wang Jin to build on the ground, it will not be so simple underground.
But considering safety, Wang Jin still hopes that this sub-base will be hidden and safer. After all, it is his retreat. If it is discovered and destroyed by the enemy, Wang Jin will be in tears.
When night fell, Wang Jin saw that Yang Ling was very tired. Although he was still energetic, it was Yang Ling who drew the map. No matter how energetic Wang Jin was, he had to consider whether Yang Ling could bear it.
Therefore, Wang Jin did not continue to lead Yang Ling to draw a map. Instead, he found a relatively drier passage, ate the dried meat of the second-level mutant beast, took out his sleeping bag to sleep, rested and replenished his energy, so that he could be in a better state to work tomorrow and find a location that met the requirements as soon as possible.
