Chapter 47 Pentagon
After Qin An escaped from Lan Yue, he began to wander around and officially visit the City of Destiny.
The people here seem to be doing well.
Although the so-called tent area was very chaotic and strange-looking houses were built everywhere, Qin An walked for a while and did not see any disputes between people. This meant that the security here was very good.
Occasionally, women would walk up to Qin An and ask him if he had any food. They were willing to trade themselves, but Qin An smiled and rejected them one by one.
There wasn't much grief on the faces of the people. Some people were wearing tattered clothes and lying on the ground numbly. Someone nearby would come over and kick him and ask him if he was going to die! Ask him if he has anything to exchange for food, and if so, even if it is scarce, people are willing to provide him with meagre food to save his life.
Such a situation meant that the people here still had good intentions.
Qin An dodged and dodged, passing through the small houses one by one, and walked towards the five buildings.
After walking for about 30 minutes, he finally left the tent area and arrived at the five buildings.
The outer ring was a huge ring. It was ten meters wide and was made of cement. The ring was surrounded by five buildings.
The building had a total of twenty floors and was about eighty meters tall. The most peculiar thing was that there were no windows at the bottom thirty meters!
The cross-section of each building was very wide. It was estimated to be as long as two thousand meters. Within such a long wall, there was only a thick iron door that was four meters high and two meters wide.
The two sides of the iron door were embedded in the track of the wall. It was evident that they were controlled by something like a thousand jin gate, belonging to a portable lifting door that could move up and down.
In front of the door, there were a few uniformed soldiers holding submachine guns on guard.
Qin An raised his head and looked up. Suddenly, someone beside him said, "Young man, look at your face very well! Is it a newcomer?"
Qin An looked sideways. A middle-aged man in his forties was standing not far behind him, smiling at him.
Qin An nodded embarrassedly and said, "Yes! I entered the city yesterday! I'm going to leave today. I'm just here to find a friend in Fate City."
The middle-aged man was slightly stunned when he heard Qin An's words and said, "Aren't you planning to stay in Fate City? As far as I know, Fate City is the most human or human gathering place in the southeast region."
Listening to the middle-aged man's tone, Qin An judged that this person must be from the power class of Destiny City.
In order to avoid any complications in the city, Qin An politely bowed slightly to the middle-aged man before saying, "I think Fate City is also quite good, but my friends are all in other gathering places, so I can only go back to find them."
The middle-aged man nodded his head and said, "Yes! In this apocalyptic world, there are a few friends. Treasure them well! I saw you looking around the Pentagon just now. Aren't you very interested?"
Qin An nodded and said, "Yeah! How long did it take to make it? It's so huge, it should be enough to house tens of thousands of people, right?"
The middle-aged man smiled and shook his head, "It's just looking big outside!"
The pentagon was first built a few years ago as a foreign-owned factory on the outskirts of the city. To promote their corporate culture, they built it into this shape and it was so huge.
However, due to funding problems, the construction of the building stopped after the third phase. The construction workers did not receive their wages, so they stayed upstairs. Two months later, the T virus broke out.
In order to protect themselves, the workers connected the five buildings that were originally connected to each other, and after modifying them, they turned them into the present Pentagon.
The lower floor was 30 meters long and was filled with concrete and steel bars. The wall was 100 meters thick and had absolute defensive capabilities!
Fifty meters above was the residence. There were three thousand soldiers, five hundred workers, and more than five hundred soldiers and their families. There were almost four thousand people inside!
There are various facilities, weapons, livestock, vehicles, stored food, artificial fields and so on in the building.
Apart from people and objects, people always needed space to move freely.
With these 4,000 people living inside, the building was basically saturated! "Even if we are besieged, the amount of food stored in the building, as well as artificial fields and livestock, will allow us to live for more than ten years!"
Qin An was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that the Pentagon still had so many mysteries.
The middle-aged man seemed to be in a good mood today and wanted to talk to Qin An. He continued, "I think you've guessed it. My name is Chen Chuhe, the current highest commander of Destiny City. I used to be the commander of a unit of the PLA." Now that the organization could not find it, it had been trapped here! I'm ashamed! Originally, there were 30,000 officers and men in our military zone. In one night, more than 20,000 people turned into zombies. We killed a large number of our former comrades and finally escaped here! "I don't dare to leave anymore, just hide in such a safe place!"
There was no change in Chen Chuhe's emotions when he preached. He had clearly seen through the life and death of a person.
Qin An said, "Don't you, the Pentagon, allow people to enter and exit casually? I still want to go in and take a look!"
Chen Chuhe said, "It is true that no one is allowed to enter or leave casually, but since we are so fated, I will give you a room and let you stay for one night. So what?"
Qin An hurriedly said, "I still have a few friends. They are all women. Can we have two rooms? Guild Leader, please let me stay for one night and let me experience the environment here. When you arrive at our gathering place in the future, I will treat you to a big meal!"
Chen Chuhe laughed heartily. He felt that this man who was pushing his luck was very interesting.
In Qin An's body, he could not feel the oppression and pain of the apocalypse. Qin An gave him the feeling that he had never experienced this apocalypse.
Chen Chuhe was different from Qin An. Although he had been hiding in Destiny City for nearly a year, he had personally killed many of his close comrades during the outbreak of the T virus. In fact, he had even killed the old army captain who had personally turned into a zombie with a single shot!
He had painful memories and shadows of the apocalypse, but he could not feel it from Qin An's body, which made Chen Chuhe somewhat envious.
He took out a pen from his body and handed it to Qin An, saying, "I will send someone to arrange two rooms on the highest floor for you! You come to this door to look for the guards, and they will take you there. You can stay here tonight, and take my pen, and you can freely enter and exit the Pentagon! Don't forget to return it to me when you leave!"
Qin An hurriedly took the pen and thanked him repeatedly. Then, he asked curiously, "Sir Guild Leader, aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person? Did you let me enter the Pentagon so easily?"
Chen Chuhe had originally planned to leave. Hearing Qin An's question, he stopped and said, "Firstly, no matter if it is the Pentagon or Fate City, we are not afraid of outsiders coming. In our eyes, zombies are always more terrifying than humans!" Second, when you enter the Pentagon, there will naturally be people monitoring your every move. What bad things can you do? Third, why do you do bad things? Do you have any motives? I can't figure it out! That's why I let you live here and experience life in the Pentagon! In this apocalyptic world, it might be very difficult to find a place that was so comfortable! Kid, you should just secretly laugh and think of yourself as winning the lottery! "Who told me to be in a good mood today!"
Qin An stopped gossiping and thanked Chen Chuhe incessantly as he watched Chen Chuhe leave!
His luck was simply too good, he was actually able to meet the highest leader of Destiny City!
Originally, Qin An wanted to leave this place today, but since he had the chance to visit the Pentagon, he was naturally very willing.
I wonder if there is a bathroom and a soft queen bed in the Pentagon? He hasn't slept well for days!
He excitedly returned to Lan Yue's small home. The room was unlocked, and there was no one inside.
Walking to where Li Hong lived, Li Hong was chatting with Liu Jia about all sorts of interesting things about Li Wenjie's childhood, causing Liu Jia to laugh non-stop, as if she had temporarily forgotten her sadness.
Qin An asked worriedly, "Auntie, where is Lan Yue?"
Li Hong's eyes were a little swollen. It was obvious that she had been crying for a long time. She looked at Qin An and smiled. Then she said, "Didn't Miss Lan Yue go out with you? She never came back!"
Qin An was very helpless. He could only let Li Hong tidy up the clothes he usually wore. Then, he brought her and Liu Jia into the Pentagon. Under the lead of the soldiers, he sat in an artificial elevator made of pulleys and went to the two rooms arranged for him by Chen Chuhe on the 20th floor.
The layout of the two rooms was basically the same. The area of the room was more than 30 square meters. There was a separate bathroom and bathroom. The Pentagon had its own underground water pipes that were dug and used solar energy to heat the water. In other words, it could take a hot bath here.
The floor of the room was carpeted and a double bed was placed in front of the window. There was also a wardrobe, tea cabinet, and other furniture in the room. It was neatly arranged, and it really felt like the big bed room in the hotel before the apocalypse.
After Qin An entered the room, he went straight to the window. This window extended out fifty centimeters, which meant that it had a fifty centimeter wide windowsill.
Qin An climbed onto the windowsill and looked down. He could see more than half of Destiny City!
It was indeed a good place! Looks like I can finally get a good night's sleep tonight. Rest for a while and leave for Qin City tomorrow!
After returning, the first thing Qin An had to do was to think of a way to expand Qin City! Looking at the size of the Pentagon, Qin An was a little jealous. Even if the building was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of zombies, as long as the food continued, there would be no danger! It was a safer place than Qin Cheng!
After arranging for Li Hong and Lan Yue to stay in a room, Qin An left the Pentagon to look for Lan Yue. He did not know where this girl had run off to. There was no other way. Qin An could only go to Lan Yue's house and lie on Lan Yue's bed waiting for her.
After a few days of hard work, Qin An felt sleepy as soon as he laid on the bed.
What was Qin Xiaoyan doing in Qin City? And that missing Tang Yu, are you alright?
After Qin An thought of the two of them, he was slightly stunned. Li Ying couldn't even be ranked second among the women he could think of now?
This was a year apart. If it was a few more years, would Li Ying be completely forgotten in his heart?
Qin An didn't dare to think, time! It was truly a terrifying thing. It could erase everything, but it made people unable to contend against it.
Slowly, Qin An fell asleep!
