"We're not a charity, if it's a deal, we can talk about it. Looking at Tian Feng with a sincere face, Jiang Chen said with a smile.

These survivors, who had just poked their heads out of the Vault, were ignorant of the rules of the wasteland, but they had a lot of pre-war supplies in their hands.

Don't say anything to help, anyone who can resist the urge to rob these "rookies" in the wasteland can be called a good person.

Tian Feng was stunned, he didn't expect Jiang Chen to say it so directly.

After a brief mutter, the captain spoke.

"We are also short of resources, and the shelter would not have been released from lockdown sooner. While we can't give you anything in return right now, I promise you that if you help our cause, we won't forget your help when we rebuild order on the ruins. ”

"What business?" Jiang Chen asked a little confused.

"Of course, it is to restore the great pan-Asian cooperation and restore the glory of pan-Asia. As if rejuvenated, Shi Yongtian, who was lying on the ground, got up and said impassionedly.

"Exactly. Glancing at Director Shi beside him, Tian Feng looked at Jiang Chen and nodded, "Before the door of the shelter is locked, the last order we received is to wait for the shelter to open and rebuild civilization on this ruin." If PAC is gone, we'll take it back with our own hands!"

"Usually when these 'blue skins' first come out of the ground, they are all this kind of rhetoric. Cheng Weiguo shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Blue skin?" Tian Feng frowned.

"Nothing, just a title. Another soldier teased.

It's just a veteran's contempt for rookies.

Without continuing on this topic, Tian Feng continued to look at Jiang Chen.

"What do you think? Our interests should be the same. If we restore order, you too will return to a life of harmony and stability. ”

Jiang Chen had a playful expression on his face.

"So your suggestion is?"

"Originally, we just wanted you to support some of our extra fusion cores. But after seeing your outstanding abilities, I changed my mind. Now I cordially invite you. Join our cause. Tian Feng said seriously.

Jiang Chen smiled and spread his hands.

"You mean, we should train a master to come out and ride on our heads?"

"How can you say that," Shi Yongtian plucked up his courage and retorted, "a hundred years ago, we stood up from the oppression of NATO and CCCP and joined hands and united. Towards the Great Union. Have you forgotten the prosperity of the beginning, and do you yearn for this devastated ruin? Only we can lead Greater Asia to prosperity?"

Hearing this guy's nonsense, the soldier with a rifle on the side laughed. Cheng Weiguo touched his nose and didn't smile, after all, he also came out of a certain shelter. But judging from the corners of his mouth, he almost couldn't hold it back.

Shi Yongtian's face flushed, and the distrustful and playful gaze made him very annoyed. If this was before the war, he swore that he would use the power in his hands to let such people have a long experience. Unfortunately, the pain from the bruise on his leg reminded him. He could only hold it now.

Tian Feng was silent, but there was still a faint hint of expectation in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Chen. Although most people are "ignorant", if he is the leader of this group, he believes that Jiang Chen will have enough "foresight".

Jiang Chen said slowly. "Houses, weapons, high walls, brick by brick here. We built it ourselves. With or without you, we can do just fine. ”

"But under our leadership. You're going to do more—"

"Fart. ”

Looking at Tian Feng, who was iron-faced, Jiang Chen continued unceremoniously.

"Wait until you get your attitude right. Be sincere enough to talk to us about the deal again. Or can you try your luck at another survivor base?"

Taking a deep breath, Tian Feng glanced at the dark power armor on the side.

"I'll bring back your reply. ”

"Don't take yourself too seriously, Blueskin. Ma Zhongcheng, who was on duty with a rifle, teased.

Tian Feng glanced at the person, didn't say anything, and pulled Shi Yongtian away

The alarm was lifted, and the commotion at the gate did not affect the progress of the party in the base.

It was only during the shift change that these soldiers on duty with empty bellies briefly told the brothers who had already broken their stomachs and came to take over their posts the interesting things that had just happened at the gate of the base, and then they couldn't wait to rush to the lively square.

"Boss, why talk nonsense with them, we can just kill them and take over the good stuff in their shelter. Following Jiang Chen to the office of the community center, Cheng Weiguo stood in front of the desk and asked Jiang Chen puzzled.

"Oh, do you approve of me directly occupying Vault 027?" Jiang Chen asked casually.

"Even a decent mercenary will not let go of this good opportunity. Cheng Weiguo replied.

Nodding, Jiang Chen didn't say anything, just looked at the map on the table.

This paper map was taken from a pre-war evacuation manual. Although there are no special shelters for the 00X series and those that are not open to the public, most of the regular shelters for ordinary residents are marked on the map.

"Vault 027 is located in the Songjiang area, not very far from our base. The load is 1,000 people, and the lockdown period is set at 50 years, but it seems to have been opened earlier. Finding the sign on the map, Jiang Chen pinched his chin and muttered to himself.

"It seems from their words that they lack a nuclear fusion core, what is that thing?" Jiang Chen asked.

I don't know why Jiang Chen asked about this, Cheng Weiguo glanced at the boss strangely, and then said.

"It is a large nuclear fusion cell with a diameter of 100mm, which is stable and safe. A lot of pre-war industrial machines used that thing as a power source, as well as power armor. I remember that the Sixth Block was also used for a while, but just like the food on the supermarket shelves, these things are consumed quickly, and there is not a lot of them available for recycling. In short, after using up these fusion batteries, the power armor of the sixth block was transformed to use subcrystalline as a power source. ”

Compared to the nuclear fusion core, which is difficult to obtain, it is still easier to obtain.

"So, in general, is there anything good in the shelter?" Jiang Chen then asked.

"Good stuff produced before the war, obedient labor, technical personnel, scientists. Cheng Weiguo knocked on the EP on his hand, "For example, these EPs basically flow out of the shelter." There are also some drugs that are in tight demand, and even production tools. ”

Jiang Chen nodded.

The last time he fished out Vault 005, he had fished out a batch of experimental equipment, a supercomputer that could be used as a virtual reality game server, and a production line for a hummingbird drone.

It has to be said that for those survivors who wander the wasteland to pick up garbage to survive, these shelters that are not infested by radiation are really like treasures.

"In addition to that, there is food. After a pause, Cheng Weiguo added.

"Food?" Jiang Chen asked with a slight surprise.

"That's right. Cheng Weiguo nodded, "In addition to the kind of frozen shelters, many shelters inhabited by living people will be equipped with breeding and planting facilities. After all, food has a shelf life, and it is difficult to preserve food for more than 50 years, even if it is stored at ultra-low temperature in vacuum. ”

It has not been washed by nuclear, chemical or biological weapons, and the technical conditions are relatively advanced, and the shelter is indeed the most suitable place for the production of food on this land.

The CNC planting tower and the soilless cultivation plant in the sixth block (both of which have failed) can produce a small number of crops, but the yield and survival rate are very problematic. After all, the purification equipment that the survivors made by hand-selling garbage and recycling materials could not compare to the precision instruments made before the war.

"That's not right," Jiang Chen frowned, "It stands to reason that after so many years, the shelter in Wanghai City should have opened a lot. But why, until half a year ago, there was still no trace of food in the market in the sixth block. ”

Hearing this, a bitter smile flashed on Cheng Weiguo's face.

"It's mostly a matter of predators. When most of the shelters opened, they were not spared the fate of the looters. And those robbers who only know how to rob and kill have no concept of long-term thinking in their minds. While the food was snatched up, the people in the shelter were also killed, and the equipment did not know how to operate, so they were basically dismantled and sold as scrap metal. Without the purification facilities, it didn't take long for the environment in the shelter to be similar to the outside world. ”

"If you want to attack the Vault, how many people will you need?" Jiang Chen said in a deep voice.

Cheng Weiguo thought for a moment and replied, "This has to be judged by the security forces of the shelter. Normally, however, it only takes a few dozen soldiers to block the entrance to the vault, and the entire vault can be surrounded to death. ”

"Siege?"

"That's right. Even nuclear weapons can't help the shelter, and theoretically as long as the door of the shelter is closed, people from outside will never be able to enter. Cheng Weiguo said helplessly, "There is only one reason why the shelter was opened early, and that is that the energy or materials in the shelter have been exhausted. You just need to surround them, and they will definitely be the first ones who can't hold on. ”

It's like a turtle.

Nodding, Jiang Chen had a general understanding of the situation of the shelter in this wasteland.

"I've got the situation, so go down first. ”

"Yes!" Cheng Weiguo saluted, turned and left the office.

Sitting at the desk, Jiang Chen leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

"027 Shelter?"

Jiang Chen wasn't very interested, the last thing he lacked was food.

What really interested him was only the scientists and technologists in the shelter.

He is now faced with two choices.

Plunder, or Deal? (To be continued......
