Chapter 37: Blood-Red Sky!
Xu Zhengyang closed the webpage and took out his phone to open Douyin, scrolling through the local channel.
Sure enough.
With such a big incident, Green Soil couldn't cover it up at all!
After all, the ones involved in the incident in the northern suburbs were not ordinary people; they were all powerful figures! Even though Green Soil was a large company, it couldn't withstand this kind of pressure! Seeing Green Soil in such a mess made Xu Zhengyang feel a sense of schadenfreude. "This is enough to give you a taste of your own medicine!"
After saying that.
Xu Zhengyang put down his phone and instructed Da Bai (Big White) to operate the Engineering Robot, continuing to process gunpowder on the ground as he had done before.
He himself learned from the earlier explosion and did not directly load the explosives, opting instead for the most primitive type of bomb that required ignition to detonate.
He drove to the computer city to purchase a batch of remote control devices and other electronic components.
After returning to the shelter with his purchases.
Xu Zhengyang went to the precision processing workshop he had previously built, where he created a batch of remote detonators.
After installing the remote detonators in the new bombs.
The next time Xu Zhengyang used the bombs, it would be much safer, avoiding the chaos of this time! The next day.
Xu Zhengyang got up early as usual to complete his daily tasks.
Once everything was done.
The boss of the auto repair city had delivered all the various equipment and tools he had ordered to the outside of the lumber factory.
Checking the goods, settling the bill, and moving them in...
Once Xu Zhengyang operated the Engineering Robot to install these large machines in the repair workshop.
A familiar system notification appeared before him: [Main Quest: Auto Repair Workshop (Completed)]
[Reward: [Skill Card · Car Repair]]
...
[Skill Card · Car Repair]
[Effect: After use, you will immediately master the knowledge and skills related to car repair]
Xu Zhengyang was already quite familiar with using skill cards.
After digesting the knowledge of car repair, Xu Zhengyang immediately opened the latest task list:
[Main Quest: Cloakroom (In Progress)]
[Clothes not only keep you warm but also cover your shame.
However, in the apocalypse, with society in ruins, you either gather some unwanted ready-made clothes that don't fit well from stores, or you forcibly take clothes from others.
But no matter how you acquire the clothes, they are bound to be uncomfortable.
So you need to build a cloakroom to store enough clothing.]
[Task Objective: Build a cloakroom (not less than 20 square meters);
Collect/produce fitting clothes, shoes, socks, gloves, etc. to fill the cloakroom (at least 1000 pieces of each type)]
[Task Reward: Dimensional Pocket Upgrade Device II]
After reading the details of the task page, Xu Zhengyang was pleasantly surprised.
The reward for this main quest was actually an upgrade kit for the Dimensional Space Pocket! After completing this task, Xu Zhengyang could finally bring that powerful monster, the Yangwang U8, home! The reason Xu Zhengyang hadn't bought this car before was entirely because the Yangwang U8 was too large to fit into the Dimensional Space Pocket to bring back to the shelter's garage.
But now it was different.
As long as the cloakroom was built and he obtained the upgrade kit for the Dimensional Space Pocket, that would no longer be a problem! In the apocalypse.
You needed to drive such a 1200-horsepower monster vehicle, equipped with drones, that was not afraid of flat tires or water.
With 1200 horsepower.
Even if Xu Zhengyang welded a steel box with 20mm thick steel plates to completely encase the car, the weight would not burden the vehicle at all!
Only such a car could provide Xu Zhengyang with enough sense of security! With this thought in mind.
Xu Zhengyang first gave instructions to the Engineering Robot to start partitioning a 20-square-meter space within the shelter.
He then immediately drove to the Yangwang 4S store in Baicheng.
...
Looking at cars, making reservations, and paying.
Under Xu Zhengyang's financial pressure, the manager of the 4S store patted his chest and assured Xu Zhengyang that it would definitely arrive within a week!
Hearing this, Xu Zhengyang didn't delay.
He then drove to the small commodity wholesale market in Baicheng.
In the apocalypse.
Gathering a thousand fitting pieces of clothing, socks, gloves, and shoes might be very difficult.
But at the small commodity wholesale market.
Xu Zhengyang only needed to tell them what he needed and how many pieces.
Then, after paying a deposit, he could return to the lumber factory and wait for them to deliver the goods to his door.
...
After returning to the shelter, it was only eleven in the morning.
So Xu Zhengyang casually ate something and was just about to prepare a little food to fill his stomach when he stumbled upon a video: [After the rain stopped, the sky here turned blood-red!]
At first, Xu Zhengyang didn't take this video seriously, thinking it was just someone having fun.
But after scrolling through a few more videos, he found that not just one person in that city was posting about the blood-red sky!
Different people using different devices, from different angles, were capturing the same blood-red sky! This made Xu Zhengyang feel a sense of foreboding.
Could it be related to the biochemical crisis?
So Xu Zhengyang quickly clicked into the comments section, wanting to see if the locals had noticed anything else unusual besides the blood-red sky.
The video had already been deleted.
"?"
Xu Zhengyang was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly scrolled back to look for the previous videos.
Without exception!
Any video related to "blood-red sky" had been taken down!
Even if Xu Zhengyang searched for keywords, whether "blood-red" or "place name," he couldn't find anything!
Something unusual must be afoot! So Xu Zhengyang simply sent a private message to the person who posted the video: "Hey, what's going on over there?"
But just as Xu Zhengyang sent the message, he received a notification from Douyin: [This account is a risk account and has had all services suspended!]
Seeing this risk warning, Xu Zhengyang felt even more anxious. "Is something really happening? Is it necessary to silence people like this?"
At that moment.
Xu Zhengyang suddenly noticed a Douyin ID in his history called Lao Yang 136XXXXXXXX.
Seeing this, Xu Zhengyang's eyes lit up, and he immediately called the number!
"Hello, is this Lao Yang?"
...
"I'm quite curious about what your sky looks like. Can you tell me?"
...
"How about we add WeChat? I'll send you a red envelope first!"
