Doomsday base vehicle

1 The end is coming

At the end of September, the hot and long summer is finally over and autumn is here.

But in Jiangbeicheng, the weather has not turned significantly cooler for a while, and the daytime temperature still remains above 30 degrees. But at night, the temperature immediately dropped sharply, making people shiver with cold. Almost everyone is complaining about the weather.

In an inconspicuous rental house in the south of the city, the air-conditioning fan was buzzing non-stop, which seemed a bit noisy. Under the air conditioner, there is a room that seems to be less than fifteen square meters. The living room and bed are in this room, and the bathroom and kitchen doors are open side by side on the other side.

Although the area is small, the house looks very neat. The male owner of the house, a rather thin young man, was sitting on the lower bunk of a bunk bed, staring intently at a TV set not far in front of him.

On the TV screen, the noon news of the national TV station was playing at the moment.

A week ago, Jiang Liushi had never used this TV for anything other than watching football games, let alone watching the midday news.

But now, Jiang Liushi not only sat in front of the TV for the first time, but also stared at the time on the clock with all his concentration.

Today at 12:45:51, the national television station’s lunchtime news program will broadcast an important piece of news.

"...The following is an international news. An international scientific team has just held a press conference to announce that they have discovered a prehistoric super virus in the permafrost in the Far East of Siberia. This giant virus is currently the fourth known to mankind. A super-large virus. Scientists have previously discovered another giant virus in the area. Scientists discovered it as early as a year ago, but only recently announced it. Scientists said that research on the virus is still ongoing. According to research, it is currently unknown whether this type of prehistoric virus can infect humans or animals... Some experts have also stated that as long as the permafrost remains frozen, there is no need to worry about whether the virus poses a threat..."

"That's it!"

Jiang Liushi stood up from the bed all of a sudden. He looked at the time displayed on his phone. It was around 12:45, almost exactly!

"I got it right again. This is the third time." Jiang Liushi stared at the TV screen, but his focus was no longer on the news. He has already known the general content of this news, even the time it was first disclosed in the media - at this moment!

Since it is a live press conference, there is no leakage of information in advance. Even if the media and reporters already know about the press conference a day ago, they cannot give the specific content!

But Jiang Liushi knew in advance, and not only this news, but also several international emergencies that occurred within this week, he also knew in advance.

This was not because Jiang Liushi suddenly had any superpower to predict the future, but a week ago, he suddenly discovered that there was a "star seed" in his mind.

While discovering this "star seed", Jiang Liushi learned some information from the "star seed", including these news that had not yet happened. The most important one is today's news about the discovery of a giant virus.

Because this news is confirmed, it means that another thing Jiang Liushi learned from "Star Seed" will actually happen.

Virus infection breaks out, the end of the world is coming!

The previous news was about the absence of some heads of state from important events, and the temporary cancellation of important international meetings or trips. These news did not attract too many people's attention, but Jiang Liushi knew that many countries had already known about the virus infection and were making preparations to retreat.

The virus infection is breaking out very quickly, and there is no effective means to control it. Telling the people will only cause panic and riots. Therefore, the people knew nothing at all and were still living their normal lives, but they did not realize that some important figures no longer appeared.

This press conference on the virus is the last bit of mercy given by these high-level officials to ordinary people, so that they will not die too confused.

Ten days later at two o'clock in the afternoon, disaster will befall these ordinary people without any warning. But now they are watching the news on TV like Jiang Liushi, but they are not aware of anything at all. Many people are scrolling through the news on their mobile phones. Weibo, Moments, and news all saw this news, but at most they just exclaimed and forwarded it.

Jiang Liushi had no intention of posting to tell the public the truth about this matter. Since the Mayan prophecy became popular, various doomsday predictions have been appearing on the Internet in an endless stream. There are even many physical books and movies of the "2012XXX" series. There were even a lot of photos taken, and the public has long been immune to this topic.

The posts he sends out will not attract anyone's attention at all. The only thing that may be attracted is harmony. Because all he knows are the real inside stories, it may also arouse some vigilance from higher-ups.

Although this possibility was very low, Jiang Liushi did not want to do useless work and cause unnecessary trouble to himself.

Moreover, even Jiang Liushi himself was skeptical when he first learned of this information. It was not until he saw the news today that he completely believed in the authenticity of this matter.

No matter who it is, if they suddenly find that there is some information in their mind, or it is about the end of the world, they will not immediately believe it unconditionally. When everything around you is so normal and ordinary, how can you believe that the end is coming?

Now that it was confirmed, Jiang Liushi realized that he only had one week and he had to start preparations immediately.

Jiang Liushi first purchased a large amount of daily necessities such as grains, oils, rice and noodles online. To be on the safe side, he also bought a lot of compressed high-energy foods, as well as a lot of drinking water and first aid medicines.

These things can be delivered one after another within a day or two, saving Jiang Liushi the time of going out to purchase. In addition, there were jackets, light and wear-resistant shoes, disposable underwear, etc. Jiang Liushi also purchased them. He also bought a dagger from a dealer in the same city, just in case.

Although he did not believe in the doomsday before, out of curiosity, Jiang Liushi had already made a list in his mind, detailing the preparations he should make before the doomsday. For this purpose, he also checked online I have collected a lot of information, and there are actually quite a few such posts on the Internet. Obviously, there is no shortage of people who are too idle.

However, these seemingly boring posts provided him with a lot of reference and help at this time. Jiang Liushi quickly completed most of the preparations for hoarding supplies in an orderly manner.

Next, is the real highlight.

The role of "Star Seed" is not only to let him know that the end is coming, but more importantly, "Star Seed" allows him, an ordinary person, to have the ability to protect himself in the end.

The real purpose of "Star Seed" is mechanical modification and upgrade, but Jiang Liushi needs to provide the main body and materials for modification. The first thing Jiang Liushi thought of was a vehicle, a car, which was currently the most practical for him and the least difficult to modify.

Among various types of cars, sedans were first eliminated by Jiang Liushi. This relatively delicate model would not play much role in the chaos at that time.

The most recommended means of transportation in doomsday posts is off-road vehicles, but Jiang Liushi is not very fond of off-road vehicles. The internal space of such vehicles is too limited.

Subjectively speaking, Jiang Liushi's favorite is a giant, extra-long truck. This kind of truck is like a train running on the road. The wheels alone are as tall as a person. But the number of such cars was so small that Jiang Liushi could only think about it.

Jiang Liushi searched on the Internet. He looked around and finally settled on two types of vehicles, one was a container truck and the other was a minibus. Out of his obsession with interior space, Jiang Liushi finally set his sights on minibuses with more space.

But Jiang Liushi couldn't afford a minibus that cost hundreds of thousands. After completing the purchase of supplies, his bank card balance was less than 1,000 yuan, and "poor" is not enough to describe it...

If there is a house for sale, Jiang Liushi will immediately sell it at a low price without hesitation, but it is a pity that his house was sold when he was still in high school. His parents had just passed away at that time, and selling the house was necessary to support his and his sister's life and studies. After that, the two brothers and sisters had been renting a house.

Most of the money in Jiang Liushi's bank was what was left after selling his house. As a result, he spent almost all of it just to buy supplies.

If the televisions, computers and other electrical appliances were disposed of, we would still have a few thousand dollars left, but it would still not be enough. As for robbery and theft, as an ordinary student, Jiang Liushi did not think that he had a success rate of more than 10%. Even if he succeeded by luck, the possibility of being caught was more than 80%.

Jiang Liushi didn't plan to buy a car, he planned to rent a car. But even renting a car requires a considerable amount of money. Jiang Liushi has already checked the price online. Even the most ordinary minibus costs more than a thousand yuan a day, and ten days is about fifteen thousand yuan. Not to mention that a large amount of materials and metals need to be purchased to complete the alignment. The bus has been modified.

This money is really a headache.

The end was next Tuesday, getting closer and closer. Lying on the bed, Jiang Liushi took a few deep breaths, but still felt a little flustered. As a student, he was about to face such a life and death challenge, and it was impossible to remain calm as usual.

After thinking about it, he opened QQ and found an ID named Li Jun in the "Roommates" group. When he saw the other person's profile picture was on, he immediately sent a message: "Li Jun, are you here?"

A message prompt of "Didi Di" came soon, and Li Jun's reply appeared on the chat interface: "Have you seen my new display?"

Jiang Liushi then noticed that under the other party's ID, it showed that Li Jun was "iPhone7 online" at the moment. No wonder he stayed online so coquettishly.

iPhone7 is a new mobile phone that was just released this month. It has only been out for a few days. The price is high and few people have gotten it. Li Jun actually used it so quickly. No wonder his tone is so harsh.

"This mobile phone costs seven to eight thousand." Jiang Liushi sighed. He couldn't afford such an expensive mobile phone. I never imagined that it would be the end of the world without even using a new mobile phone.

Li Jun replied proudly: "How can I get the first batch for seven or eight thousand yuan? I asked a special person to help me buy it, and I added two thousand yuan!"

A mobile phone costs 10,000 yuan! Jiang Liushi could only sigh with emotion. Because his parents died early and he had to take care of his younger sister, he had always been very frugal in life. The purchase just now was the most enjoyable time he spent money in his life. It’s scary to think about a mobile phone worth 10,000 yuan.

However, it seemed that Li Jun had quite a lot of money. Jiang Liushi quickly typed: "Let's get down to business first. Let me tell you something. Do you have anything planned for next Tuesday?"

"Next Tuesday? Brother, think about it, ah, by the way, there is a girl I met on WeChat a few days ago. I will take her to the bar next Tuesday. After drinking, you know, wait for me to take her down!"

When Jiang Liushi heard this, he had a headache. He thought about it for a moment, but then he said, "Well, I want to invite everyone to play games next Tuesday. Can we stay in the dormitory and lock the doors and windows?"

"What?" Li Jun didn't react for a moment.

Is there any girl who wants to play games with a loser like you? There's something wrong with my brain!

"No fighting, brother is busy!"

"Okay..." Jiang Liushi sighed and shook his head. He had already reminded him as much as he could. In fact, even if he stayed in the dormitory and locked the doors and windows, he could not avoid the virus outbreak. Li Jun was like everyone else now. He has already carried the virus. Whether he will mutate into a monster after ten days depends entirely on his own constitution.

Locking the doors and windows was just to prevent Li Jun from being killed by those mutated monsters if he could withstand this disaster.

Now that Li Jun didn't listen to Jiang Liushi, Jiang Liushi had nothing to do. He said again: "Li Jun, I need money urgently now. Can you pay me back the two thousand you lent me before?"

"Money? Oh... don't worry, I'll remember it for you and I'll return it to you in two days." Li Jun replied.

Jiang Liushi frowned: "I'm in a hurry to use it now. It can be said to be life-saving money."

"Are you so anxious? Wait, that girl called me. I'll answer the call and talk to you later." Li Jun replied.

Jiang Liushi waited for a while with his cell phone, but he never saw Li Jun replying to him again, and his profile picture was also blacked out.

Jiang Liushi shook his head, thought for a while, and clicked on another roommate's profile picture: "Luo Ming, can you lend me two thousand yuan?"

"I have no money recently. I spent all my living expenses in the game. I also want to ask you to borrow some money for food. What are you borrowing money for?" Luo Ming replied.

"Forget it, it's okay." Jiang Liushi knew that Luo Ming was a game fan. Although his family was relatively wealthy, he rarely kept any money on hand. He was just trying his luck.

"Luo Ming, listen to what I'm telling you. Next Tuesday you stay in the dormitory and play games. Close the doors and windows and don't go out. Do you understand?"

"What? What happened?" Luo Ming was stunned for a moment.

"Remember!" Jiang Liushi said and hung up the phone. He had tried his best.

Those who owe him money are not repaid, and they cannot borrow money. As for the other people, either Jiang Liushi is not very familiar with him, or they don't have much money. After all, they are just students. If they can come up with a few hundred, there is no possibility of thousands. .

"It seems I have to think of another way..."
