Volume 1, Pot of Gold, Chapter 744, A Park in the Mist

Next chapter

The pace of construction has been pushed to the limit, but it is still unclear whether at least 80 percent of the work will be completed by March. In particular, the rain showed no signs of stopping, which cast a shadow over this battle that had not yet begun.

As soon as the fifty engineering planes stepped off the production line of the factory in the sixth block, they were urgently dispatched to Yizhou Island by supply airships. Not only the hired survivor laborers, but even some of the soldiers of the expeditionary force were involved in the project.

Li Wang personally stood on the front line and supervised the progress of the construction. Although he himself knew that the spiritual comfort of doing this was probably greater than the practical significance, he still did it.

At this time, an adjutant walked up to him.

"There were survivors in the western construction section who were making trouble and they demanded to settle their salaries. ”

Li Wang's eyelids didn't move, and he said lightly.

"We said at the beginning that the salary will be paid after the completion of the project. ”

The adjutant hesitated, but reported truthfully.

"They were afraid that the project would never be completed. ”

Li Wang was silent for a moment before speaking.

"Payroll will be paid on March 2. I don't care what method you use to suppress their affection. ”

"Yes!" the adjutant gave a military salute.

Absolutely no salary can be paid, Li Wang is well aware of this. As for the reason, it's not because NAC lacks this money, but because once the money is distributed, I'm afraid that these people won't stay here to work, but will hide in the shelter with Yajing.

Even if you want to pay your salary, you will have to wait until March 2nd, after the doors of Vault 79 close......

And at this moment, inside Vault 79.

A man in a PAC military uniform was standing in the doorway, squinting at the emaciated survivors as they lined up to enter the shelter. He enjoyed the feeling and watched as the poor man bowed his head, prayed for his protection, and offered what little of his own water was a crystal with both hands.

Yuan Yi is the mayor of Town 79 and the director of Vault 79. Limited by the awareness of the end times, in the "rise and fall history" of many shelters, there are few precedents for the blue skins to defeat the chaotic wasteland "refugees" and successfully establish a stable order on the shelters.

The town of 79 is an exception.

Long before the doors of the Vault opened, the director of the Vault completed the transformation of Vault 79 from freedom to authoritarian dictatorship. With ample munitions reserves, almost all of the 2,000 members of the Vault were male.

And when the Vault was opened, his attitude towards these wasteland refugees was not to help, but to conquer.

Clearly, he succeeded.

Regardless of the extremes, Vault 79 managed to survive the first year of its doors and has survived until now.

Just as Yuan Yi admired the expressions on the faces of those survivors, his subordinates walked over, gave an old-fashioned military salute, and then spoke.

"Report to the director, the NAC Expeditionary Force working on Desperate Beach still shows no signs of evacuation. ”

After hearing the news, Yuan Yi narrowed his eyes slightly.

Every year in the month of calamity, he can harvest tens of thousands of subcrystals from the hands of these poor insects who have come to take refuge. The reason why Town 79 has been able to grow to its current size is also due to people's fear of Calamity Month.

Unlike most survivors, as a vested interest in Calamity Moon, he didn't want the catastrophe to go away.

However, at the moment, he is not good at doing something blatantly.

The strength shown by NAC made him feel deeply jealous. Not to mention anything else, just looking at the steel airship, he knew very well that the strength of the two sides was not in the same heavyweight class at all.

Yuan Yi crossed his arms and thought for a moment, and the corners of his mouth suddenly hooked up a sinister smile.

"Let the survivors who are lurking in the labor force be prepared to instigate a collective strike before February 28 in the name of demanding wages. ”

When the subordinate heard this, his eyes lit up and he immediately said.

"The director is wise!"

Yuan Yi waved his hand and said with a smile.

"You will command it for me, and if it is done, the good will be indispensable to them. ”

"Yes!"

The subordinate nodded in response, but did not leave immediately.

"Why don't you go yet?" Yuan Yi asked with a frown.

"There's one more thing to report. The subordinate said with his head bowed.

"What's the matter?"

"Our scouts in Datunshan Nature Park found that someone was trying to enter the park......"

……

Today is the 26th, and there are only two days left until the month of calamity.

The heavy rain on Yizhou Island has slowed down, but the dark clouds that can't disperse are making the ghost weather change to a rainy direction.

The muddy water has been washed onto the road, and the cracked country road has become a dirty dirt road because it has not been repaired for a long time. Peel back two centimeters of mud to see the concrete road underneath.

Wearing raincoats, a group of three people stood at the entrance of Datun Natural Park.

Jiang Chen took off the hood on his head and looked around. The forests on both sides of the black holes are unsettling, but after turning on the radio life detection device, no trace of xenomorph activity has been captured, and from this point of view, this forest could not be safer.

But that's too perverse.

Jiang Chen couldn't help frowning slightly.

"It's not just humans who choose to take refuge in Calamity, many xenos also take refuge in caves or the ruins of buildings, hiding from crabs that eat everything. Seeing the confusion in Jiang Chen's eyes, Chen Guangning explained to him.

"I see. Jiang Chen nodded.

I said...... Are we really going up?" Looking at the road leading to Datun Natural Park, Lin Ling's face was full of timidity.

Seeing her trembling appearance, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile.

This little girl is obviously a cyborg, but she is even more timid than humans.

Chen Guangning hesitated, and then said, "I have the same opinion as Miss Lin. The mole says there may be something bad hiding here, so it's better to be cautious. Also, don't you really need the help of the expeditionary force? Vault 79 sent more than a hundred people to be planted here, and we only have three people here. Not to mention ......"

Not to mention that you are still the marshal of the NAC.

How could a large number of people carry nuclear devices and materials to the present world? As for the danger, Jiang Chen was not very worried. As long as you put on the power armor, there is no possibility that Zài will be "killed in seconds". No matter what danger he encountered, he was able to get out of it quickly.

What's more, the pile of high-tech hidden in the storage space was smashed out unscrupulously, and he alone had a combat power comparable to that of a hundred people.

"You can just wait here. And you, Lin Ling, come up again when you see my signal. ”

Leaving these words, Jiang Chen didn't care how Chen Guangning and Lin Ling reacted, showed the Ripper rifle under the raincoat, and walked towards the misty mountain road alone-

(Finally finished the exam and blew up two subjects...... Yesterday I drank some wine with my classmates and was a little dizzy. The code word reached two o'clock, and the result was sleeping on the keyboard. I'm sorry for the late update today...... Allow me to rest for two days and then erupt two days later. (To be continued.) )
