Volume 1, Pot 1, Gold Chapter 627, Vault 71

Next chapter

Shelter No. 71 in Hongcheng is located in the wilderness south of Wuyang Town, near the hill by the Fuhe River, with a depth of about 1,000 meters.

Strictly speaking, the local geology is not suitable for the construction of deep shelters. But the approval of the Vault project was before 2150, when the global situation was good, space technology was advancing rapidly, and people from all over the world were looking to the future together, and no one believed that there would be war. The local government only wanted to meet the target of the number of civil air defense projects given by the Pan-Asian cooperation, so it symbolically started construction in the vicinity. It wasn't until 2155 that the local government realized that the shelter plan was no joke, and made up for it with a focus on several face-saving projects. Finally, by 2160, a shelter was built in Hongcheng enough to provide shelter for a population of 10 million.

On the way to the shelter, you can also see the abandoned maglev train platform.

But now it's overgrown with weeds, thorny vines wrapping around the tracks, and wolves hiding in the shadows rub their claws and bared their teeth at the approaching NAC soldiers.

"Is this Sun Jiao's hometown?" Looking at the stone tablet that had been corroded by acid rain, Jiang Chen said casually.

The handwriting of [Vault 71] and [Pan Asian Cooperation] has been blurred, and the tin room near the station is scattered, and bullet holes and burnings can be faintly seen.

"Let's just say that, after all, we were born in this Vault. A nostalgic smile appeared on Sun Xiaorou's face, and she reached out and gently stroked the stone tablet.

It's like caressing the tombstone of the deceased.

A tombstone belonging to civilization.

"Marshal be careful. ”

Noticing the wild wolves lurking among the bushes, Li Wang raised his rifle and took two steps forward with the two guards next to him, protecting Jiang Chen and Xiao Rou.

"Whew!"

Seeing that they had been discovered, more than a dozen wild wolves immediately roared and ran out, opening their bloody mouths.

Several guards unhurriedly pulled the trigger and beat the dozen or so animals into a sieve.

"Good job" Jiang Chen patted Li Wang's shoulder, "Don't forget about remembering, you have to call me captain here." ”

"Yes!" Li Wang said.

"Keep watch at the door. We'll probably be able to get out before dark. Jiang Chen glanced at the sky that was not yet noon. Then he commanded the guards behind him.

Seeing that Jiang Chen planned to leave himself and the others outside, Li Wang couldn't help but look embarrassed.

"Forgive me, I'm responsible for your safety. ”

"What danger can there be in an abandoned shelter, at most a few mutant cockroaches. ”

"But"

"Alright. That's an order. ”

Seeing Jiang Chen's resolute attitude, Li Wang had to reluctantly agree, organized the soldiers to drive the infantry vehicle to the door, placed a temporary bunker at the door of the shelter, and made an agreement with Jiang Chen. If you don't come up before 6 p.m., bring someone down to help.

The reason why he didn't take people down was not out of conceit of strength, but out of the consideration of secrecy.

The secret of eternal life is destined to be in the hands of a few.

……

Luckily, the elevator to the ground is still working.

In about half a minute, the elevator stopped underground, and Jiang Chen saw the door of Vault 71.

The design of each shelter is different, but the general structure is similar.

The gear-shaped refuge door was open, and judging by the thick dust on the ground. Apparently abandoned for a long time. The corpse lying in the doorway was wearing a blue uniform, and judging by the blood stains on his chest, he was supposed to have died from gunshots.

"The raiders attacked suddenly, and the chief commanded the security guards to fight back, but the man-made fire threw Yiqiē into chaos. My sister ran outside, and while wandering through the ruins, she met a female warrior who called herself PLA...... My sister should have told you about these things. ”

"That's right. Jiang Chen nodded.

The "retroists" of the Chinese district, boasting of their former flags, are strict with themselves with glory and virtue, and try to recreate the great country in history on this ruin. Until now, though. Jiang Chen still hadn't seen them.

"What about you?"

Sun Xiaorou shook her head.

"After all, it's been a long time, and the memory in my mind is blurry. I just vaguely remember...... Later, it was the people of the Twilight Church who adopted me. ”

"If it's a sad memory, don't think about it. Jiang Chen said softly.

"My brother-in-law is really gentle. Xiao Rou smiled, "I really envy my sister." I can meet you first. ”

"Alright, ready to go. Jiang Chen coughed embarrassedly, pulled the bolt, and took the lead in walking towards the shelter.

The index finger habitually touched her lips, and the corners of Sun Xiaorou's mouth curved happily, and she immediately lowered the graphene goggles on her helmet. Followed.

It was pitch black inside the vault, with no basic lighting. The fusion fuel rods ran out a long time ago, and the two had to rely on the headlamps on their helmets to take refuge in the interior of the shelter.

"The layout is similar to Vault 27. Jiang Chen picked up a diary and shook the dust on it.

[Last news, it seems that we have bombed the Americans back to the age of the wilderness.] Unfortunately, so do we]

Placing the diary on the table next to him, Jiang Chen held his rifle and continued to explore.

"Squeak!"

A piercing sound rushed through the shadows, Jiang Chen jerked the muzzle of the gun and locked onto the shadows, and several fat mice frantically burrowed into the corner.

"It's a mutant rat. If they weren't hungry, they would not normally attack the living. Sun Xiaorou said.

"It's better to be careful. Jiang Chen sighed and turned on the life signal detection device on the helmet, "Crabs are going to eat people when they get bigger." ”

Although it has been a long time, after all, she has lived here for a long time, and Sun Xiaorou still has some memories of the terrain of the shelter.

Because there was no electricity, the elevator in the shelter naturally could not operate, so the two chose the stairs of safe passage.

Unknown dangers lurk in dark corners, but the two are lucky not to encounter any more dangerous mutated creatures except for a mutant spider the size of a calf.

Polyethylene armor is still too strong for a spider's chelicera. The sudden arrival of the huge mouth from the darkness only startled Jiang Chen, and the unlucky spider had its head cut off by Sun Xiaorou's dagger. After disposing of the mucus from his arm, he found only a shallow string of tooth marks on the armor of his left arm.

In order to prevent accidents, when passing by the cobweb, Jiang Chen easily stepped on all the cobwebs.

Finally, the two reached the bottom floor of the vault and stood in front of the door of the vault director's office.

A single qiē about this refuge is recorded here.

As the brain of the entire Vault, the power system here is completely independent of the outside world, powered by a separate battery.

"Actually, I couldn't understand why the password was in the hands of the Federalists, and it could be obtained by a small member of parliament. So much so that their ...... Well, the president had to send someone to get rid of him. While typing the password given to him by Ji Yucheng at the terminal at the door, Jiang Chen said.

"And the federal president, who knows the password, has not come here for a long time. Sun Xiaorou pondered.

"Is it because you don't know the location of Vault 71?"

"Not really. Sun Xiaorou shook her head.

The moment the door to the director's office opened, the light on the wall suddenly brightened, dispelling the darkness in the shelter.

At the same time, the soft female voice sounded in the ears of the two of them.

"Welcome to Shelter Tec, the Shelter System is here for you. ”

"What's the situation!" Jiang Chen immediately pulled out his rifle and pointed around vigilantly.

"The power system has been restarted? this is impossible, this shelter should have run out of power ......a long time ago," Sun Xiaorou muttered to herself, looking at the small TV on the wall. (To be continued.) )
