Ten days had passed since Jiang Chen had withdrawn most of the soldiers.

The atmosphere at Camp 27 was the same as usual, but inside the underground Vault 027, the atmosphere was a little eerie.

Not a single person was seen in the four residential areas. The corridors connecting the blocks were empty, and there was no one to wipe, wiping the almost polished walls and floors over and over again.

So where did everyone go?

In contrast to the deserted residential areas, the vacant lots in the industrial areas are crowded with people. Standing on the stairs and looking out, it was black. As a rough estimate, more than 1,600 residents of the entire Vault are here, in addition to the 100 residents who have moved to the surface.

Because of the dense flow of people, the environment here is terrible.

There were the cries of children, and there were the sounds of righteous indignation talking. Some people sat in the corner with suitcases, and some people even set up bunks on the floor and posed as if they lived here.

About 20 soldiers of the security forces stood on high ground, armed and ready to fight.

This situation is unprecedented, and they have never faced it before, and they don't know how to deal with it. Fortunately, so far, the residents' emotions have been fairly restrained and have not beenacted aggressively.

Just then, the door opened.

Surrounded by two soldiers, Tian Feng walked in.

Not long ago, he was appointed by Han Junhua as the commander-in-chief of the security forces because of his meritorious contribution to the collection of the nuclear fusion core, and took over the position of the commander-in-chief appointed by the old director, responsible for managing public security and defense matters in the shelter. When he heard about the situation of the rally in the industrial area, he immediately rushed over.

Seeing the commander approaching, the twenty soldiers stood upright. A standard PAC military salute was given to him.

With a simple return salute, Tian Feng crossed the row of soldiers. Walked to the railing of the staircase. Looking at the excited crowd, he frowned faintly.

"What do these people want to do?" Tian Feng asked the soldiers beside him.

"They are protesting. The young soldier heard the captain ask. Answered truthfully.

"Protest?" Tian Feng frowned, and just as he wanted to ask them what they were protesting for, there was a roar from the crowd.

"We need an explanation!"

"Yes! Let Han Junhua come out. ”

“”

Looking at the angry faces, although Tian Feng was puzzled, he immediately realized that the situation was wrong.

"What are they protesting for?" lowered his voice, Tian Feng asked the young soldier beside him.

A hint of hesitation flashed across the young man's face, but he gritted his teeth and spoke.

"Some say that she has set up a program in the EP to tie the lock clearance of the vault door to her life signal. ”

"That's it?" Tian Feng said confusedly.

"And" has already been opened. The young man was not afraid that the chief might be angry, and shook out everything he knew. Including Han Junhua's use of the director's authority to kidnap the lives of all the residents of the shelter, including the dissolution of the shelter residents' council without reason, including the residents' demands for her to explain all her actions.

After understanding what happened, Tian Feng gasped.

On the one hand, they are shocked by the intensity of the news revealed by the rumors, and on the other hand, they are wary of whether there is a conspiracy that the rumors have exploded so quickly.

Seeing that the chief didn't speak for a long time, the young man hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Are they telling the truth?"

From the young man's eyes. Tian Feng saw a trace of confusion.

That confusion made him feel inexplicably panicked.

"Don't listen to rumors. You stabilize the situation here first, and I'll report to the director. ”

Hurriedly explaining the task to the soldiers beside him, Tian Feng turned around and prepared to walk towards Han Junhua's office.

And yet at this moment. Wu Yaguo came out of the crowd and stood in front of him.

Tian Feng noticed that there was a bruise on his face.

"Residents need an explanation. Staring at Tian Feng's eyes without fear. Wu Yaguo said loudly.

"The Director of the Vault doesn't need to give any explanation for his actions, but I'm sure Director Han will give you a satisfactory answer. "Because of the same confusion about the situation. Tian Feng had to answer formulaically.

Apparently, however, no one was satisfied with his reply.

"Really? I hope so. Wu Yaguo sneered.

"Can you go back first?" Tian Feng knew that he was very prestigious among the residents, so he lowered his voice and persuaded him.

Wu Yaguo stared at Tian Feng's eyes, "Do you think this is possible after knowing such a fact?"

Tian Feng couldn't speak, his Adam's apple moved up and down, and he turned around and walked away without saying a word.

Looking at the back of Tian Feng leaving, the anger in Wu Yaguo's eyes gradually became stained with a trace of hatred

Someone leaked the news, and the details of the negotiations were completely made public.

There was chaos in the vault, and everyone was afraid to sleep in their bedrooms anymore. No one wants to be a victim and become a bargaining chip for others to survive. Everyone gathered in the industrial area, got up and slept on the floor.

However, Han Junhua quickly brought the situation under control, sending security forces to forcibly disperse the rallyholders and ordering everyone to return to work within an hour.

However, on the way to the forced dispersal, I don't know who shouted such a sentence.

"She's a dictator! She tries to use everyone's life and death to maintain her evil rule!"

Then, the voice was echoed by almost everyone.

"That's right!The future of 027 Vault should be decided by all the residents of Vault themselves!"

"He's right!"

"The people in the Fish Bone Base are not as bad as she described! She's a liar!"

Shouts and roars echoed through the cold steel walls, venting anger and suspicion in everyone's hearts.

Things have developed to this point, and it is obvious that the contradiction can no longer be resolved by explanation.

The situation is out of control.

Han Junhua's handling was also very decisive. Soldiers were ordered to use smoke grenades to forcibly evict the inhabitants of the occupied industrial area. For the recalcitrant. Han Junhua used the authority of the director to put hypnotic gas into the industrial zone. He also ordered all the unconscious people to be thrown into a small dark room and sentenced to 10 days of detention.

Meanwhile. She ordered temporary restrictions on the travel of Ambassador Xu Lu and five staff members, hiding the news that the shelter was in internal conflict 1,000 meters underground. She then sent security forces to investigate the rumor-mongers, and at the same time issued a curfew decree that anyone who remained outside the residential area after the lights were turned off would be confined for not less than five days.

However, it didn't take long for the prison to fill up

Five hours after the incident.

This information from Camp 27 was placed on Jiang Chen's desk.

At this moment, Cheng Weiguo was standing in front of Jiang Chen's desk, looking at Jiang Chen with admiration on his face.

"Boss, what are you really calling that word, right!

In the face of compliments from subordinates. Jiang Chen smiled without modesty.

"What is like God? I had the news spread by me. ”

Before leaving, he explained to Xu Lu that he must have a good relationship with the residents of the shelter, and must establish an image that is diametrically opposed to the image (invader) promoted by Han Junhua. As a result, the residents of the shelter will inevitably become suspicious of Han Junhua.

Immediately afterward, he "inadvertently" leaked the inside of the negotiations to the residents of the shelter who had moved to the surface through the mouth of a soldier at Camp 27.

Once a secret is known to a third person, it is no longer a secret.

Soon, rumors spread from the surface to the underground. And spread like a virus in shelters. At the same time, the rumors are not the original version under word of mouth.

At present, it is widely rumored that-

Han Junhua, the director of the shelter, uses the highest authority granted by the shelter terminal. Using the lives of all the residents of the shelter as a threat, he threatened the peace-loving Jiang Chen to stay away from the shelter. Otherwise, she will execute the inhabitants of the shelter in batches. Until she was the last person left, in order to force the "benevolent Jiang Chen" to make concessions.

Han Junhua of course clarified this. An announcement was made to all residents of the evacuation center through broadcasting.

But once trust collapses, it's not so easy to rebuild. For Han Junhua's clarification. Former members of the residents' council led by Wu Yaguo proposed to ask Han Junhua to disclose his records of the use of authority, but he was refused. Because there is no way to clarify this, she did a similar move, but to a lesser extent.

As a result, Vault 027 is now in shambles.

It's just that Jiang Chen didn't expect that this moment would come so quickly.

It was only ten days, and the relationship between Han Junhua and the residents fell to a freezing point.

How deep is this grudge?

"Boss, should we send troops over now, help the residents' council, help them overthrow Han Junhua, and then take the opportunity-" Cheng Weiguo excitedly proposed.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen smiled and waved his hand to signal him not to panic.

"There's no hurry. It is precisely because we are gone that they dare to carry out reforms in a big way. Now if we run back again, they're afraid they won't be able to mess around. ”

"But with those unarmed residents, are they capable of overthrowing Han Junhua's rule?" Cheng Weiguo was puzzled.

The director of the Vault has all the powers of the Vault, including the release of hypnotic gas into residential areas, the control of sentry machine guns, the control of the opening and closing of any movable door, and the authority to mobilize all security forces. Cheng Weiguo, who had been in the shelter, knew this very well.

In this way, without the help of external factors, the inhabitants of the shelter have no chance of winning at all.

"Old Cheng, how many years did you say that the 027 Vault has existed?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"Twenty years. Cheng Weiguo replied without hesitation.

"yes, twenty years. Even if you were twenty years old then, you should be forty years old now, right?"

Cheng Weiguo looked at Jiang Chen puzzled.

Jiang Chen smiled and continued in a relaxed tone.

"The security forces in the shelter are no longer the security forces of the PAC soldiers they used to be. At the very least, the recruits have to make up half of them, right?"

"Is there anything wrong with this?" Cheng Weiguo said confusedly.

"Will those recruits turn their guns on their parents for the sake of Han Junhua?" Jiang Chen said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
