The argument continued until the morning.

But it doesn't matter, there is no concept of night and day in the Vault.

The topic of discussion has evolved from "the merits of the shelter director" to "what to do next", and I have to say that this is a great progress.

Energy, without which you cannot survive. Water purifiers will stop, organic farms will shut down, UV lights will go out, and even air filters in vents will stop working. From a complete power outage to a shelter collapse, it only takes 10 minutes!

Perhaps stimulated by the quarrel at the conference table, Shi Yongtian, who had been huddled in his chair and trembling, suddenly stood up and slapped the table and shouted angrily.

"War! Only war can solve all problems! We should declare war on the natives on the ground! Don't they have a nuclear fusion core? Let's take it from them, and these mobs are not only illegally enclosing land, but also resisting with arms. We should give them some color and teach them the proper manners and reserve of civilized people! The glory of PAC is immortal!"

An angry roar overshadowed all the voices at the conference table for a moment.

Wu Yaguo, who was interrupted from speaking, looked over in a daze, Han Junhua, whose expression had always been salty, just glanced at him, and even Tian Feng, who had been staring at the ground, raised his head and looked at him strangely.

Shi Yongtian's Adam's apple moved, and the hand propped up on the table shook like an epilepsy.

After a moment, he sat back stiffly.

"Ahem. Wu Yaguo coughed lightly, "Shi Yongtian, why don't you go back and rest first." ”

Shi Yongtian glanced at him gratefully, then got up stiffly and limped out of the conference room.

Seeing the door closed, Wu Yaguo slowly opened his mouth. This time his tone was much more relaxed, and there was no more arguing tone.

"This angry resident, although it is only an emotional expression, also provides us with ideas for future development, we can solve the energy crisis in the way of foreign wars. ”

"It's impossible to win. Tian Feng suddenly raised his head, and he had seen the strength of that group of people with his own eyes. Consider it necessary to remind decision-makers that "heavy machine guns, drones, sentry guns, and even power armor." Our security forces are only wartime police, not frontal units that engage NATO, and are not equipped with heavy firepower equipment at all. ”

"Hell, you guys are training with taxpayers' money, can't you suppress a group of mobs?" Wu Yaguo couldn't help but scold.

"But the mob was not a rabble. Not to mention, training does not fill the gaps in equipment. Tian Feng said helplessly.

"What about the man-eating beasts, didn't you win?" Wu Yaguo asked.

Tian Feng smiled, but the smile was a little bitter.

For a warrior. There is nothing more painful than explaining war to people who have not been involved in it.

"The surface forces are large and small, some are as strong as that fishbone base, and some are stragglers. They are fighting on their own. ”

"Then you can pick a shot!" Wu Yaguo said impatiently.

"Looting from the victims from the survivors, it's not legal. ”

"Legal? Those people are lawbreakers, they have committed murder, robbery, and desecration of corpses! Aren't you security forces? Do you think they don't deserve to die?"

Tian Feng didn't speak, his mind was a little messy.

Of course, he thought that those devils deserved to die and should be punished with the harshest punishment. But they are only wartime police. It is not a judge and has no power to make decisions about the ownership of the property of the offender. Pick up the fusion core from that corpse. It is a serious violation of discipline to take it to a shelter and use it.

A robber who robs a robber is also a robber in law.

But he did not refute Mr. Wu's arguments.

If the PAC no longer exists, what is the point of enforcing the PAC's laws, including the rank on his collar?

"What do you think, as the director of the Vault, are you just like that?" Wu Yaguo looked at Han Junhua.

glanced at Wu Yaguo. Han Junhua said slowly.

"Stupid. ”

Wu Yaguo's face turned pale, his teeth clenched, but instead of being angry, he laughed and said, "Stupid? Are you stupid for inaction, or am I stupid for being a resident representative and putting myself in the shoes of the entire shelter?"

"Of course it's you. ”

"You-!" Wu Yaguo propped up the table. Tengdi stood up.

However, Han Junhua did not give him face at all.

"I don't know what kind of consideration the old director had in mind to make such a stupid decision to elect a resident representative among the residents. This is a refuge, not a resort. ”

"Okay, Xiaohua, calm down, don't say that. If you have an idea, why can't you explain it well?" Academician Qin sighed.

"Because there is no need for that, the vision of the masses is narrow. ”

Hearing Han Junhua's words, Academician Qin smiled bitterly and turned to look at Wu Yaguo.

"Can I tell a story?"

Say. Although he was angry in his heart, he still respected this old man very much.

"A poor man lives in the same neighborhood as a rich man, and because there are police officers to maintain order, the two of them live well. But suddenly one day, the order that had always existed disappeared overnight. So what's going to happen next?"

Wu Yaguo swallowed and foamed, and he began to realize the seriousness of the problem.

"Now we should not think about who will snatch the core of nuclear fusion, but how we can ensure that we will not be plundered by survivors on the surface. There is not only one trouble for shelters. Academician Qin sighed.

"The spread of these things among ordinary residents only adds unnecessary panic. Han Junhua glanced at Academician Qin.

"But if you don't say anything, the residents will be equally panicked. Academician Qin smiled kindly.

Han Junhua didn't speak anymore and fell into deep thought.

With his eyes flickering, Wu Yaguo said with difficulty: "Then take advantage of the fact that they haven't reached out their hands yet, plunder enough nuclear fusion cores, and then close the door of the shelter." As long as we don't open the door—"

"We can't hide forever. ”

After a pause, Academician Qin continued to speak.

"There is no essential difference between 20 years and 50 years, it only widens the gap between us and the survivors on the surface. ”

"Then what do you think we should do?" Wu Yaguo yelled in a broken heart.

"Now that the shelter has been opened early, the surface environment is not so bad that it is impossible to survive. We should return to the surface, connect with the survivors of the surface, and even rebuild our homes—"

"What is there on the surface? Only a bunch of primitive people who drink blood, even if they can use gunpowder and master technology, they are still primitive people! Filthy environment, suffocating radioactive fallout, disgusting mutated creatures, I don't think we should leave the shelter! There are warm beds, clean water, fresh food, and we don't need to leave here. Wu Yaguo retorted.

Ignoring Wu Yaguo, Han Junhua looked at Academician Qin.

"The Fish Bone Base has already had the intelligence of our energy shortage. If nothing else, they should already be discussing how to do something about us, any good ideas?"

This is the first time she has used an advisory tone.

"Then talk to them, or make a deal. ”

"A transaction can only be established on the condition of reciprocity. And they have mastered our weakness, and if they can easily force us to surrender, there is no reason why they would choose to trade. Han Junhua said in a deep voice.

"It's good to just let the weakness cease to exist. Academician Qin lowered his head.

"Is it?" Han Junhua also fell into deep thought.

"What are you talking about. Looking at the dumb riddle between the two, Wu Yaguo couldn't help but say.

However, no one responded to him.

Because some things spread and only add unnecessary panic

The silence lasted for a long time, and Han Junhua suddenly opened his mouth and announced, "Let's dismiss the meeting." ”

Relieved, Tian Feng, who couldn't sit still for a long time, took the lead in leaving the conference room. Wu Yaguo twitched the corners of his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything and turned to leave.

Trembling and trembling, Academician Qin stopped beside Han Junhua who was passing by, sighed and said.

"Have you made your decision?"

"Hmm. ”

Hearing the affirmative reply, Academician Qin nodded and left the conference room.

It seemed that in an instant, the originally noisy conference room was deserted, and only Han Junhua was left.

"Humanity?"

It took a long time for her to slowly spit out these words of unknown meaning.

Chewing on this sentence repeatedly, Han Junhua shook his head, got up and walked out the door. (To be continued......)
