Chapter 135: Wasteland Wonders
Early in the morning.
Chen Chong was still practicing qigong when he was awakened by a doorbell, and when he went downstairs to open the door, he saw Qi Yue and Bai Yao standing at the door with smiles on their faces.
"Chen Chong, the War Department Committee has received the news from us, they attach great importance to it, let us inform you to go to the Central Building for identification and some inquiries. ”
"No problem. ”
Chen Chong went back to the house and washed up briefly, and then followed Qi Yue and the others in the direction of the central building.
The accommodation area is not far from the central building, but it is only a kilometer away, and the three of them walked all the way.
On the fairly neat streets, the buildings are lined up one after another, and from time to time there are all kinds of vehicles spewing exhaust fumes passing by, and there are many new humans who are fully armed and have different breaths, all of them are in good spirits.
As Chen Chong walked, he generally looked at the inner city, which was no different from a modern town, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Two, is the war department you are talking about a department?"
"You're new to the city, and you may not be very clear about the structure of our refuge area, so I'm going to take this opportunity to explain it to you. ”
Qi Yue smiled and said:
"There are many large and small institutions in the evacuation area, but there are only a few core ones that maintain operation, namely the War Department, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Government, the Medical Department, and the Special Research and Development Department.
Most of these new humans belong to the War Department, and often haunt the wilderness and engage in high-risk mission activities, but correspondingly, the War Department members are also treated the highest in the refuge area.
The Ministry of Defense, on the other hand, is composed of a group of new humans and ordinary people, whose main responsibilities are to train the army, maintain the continuation of the refuge area, and defend the refuge area from invasion in the event of a large-scale attack by radiation species.
As the name suggests, the Ministry of Administration is in charge of formulating various government decrees, including the planning and distribution system, the contribution value system, and the planning and construction of evacuation areas. Although most of the entire part is made up of ordinary people, it is also a department that many new humans want to enter. ”
Isn't this a civil servant?
Chen Chong couldn't help laughing, and then asked, "I know the medical department, what does the special research department do, do you make ordnance equipment?"
"That's only a small part of the Special Research Department, but its role is very diverse. ”
The white crow opened his mouth and explained:
"You may not be very clear in the scrap area. Since the cataclysm, the world has mutated, and many magical substances have been born in the wasteland, all kinds of strange plants, minerals, and even some materials on the body of the radiant species, etc. Many of them have very strange properties, which we collectively refer to as wasteland oddities. Including the spiritual fruits that can make the life field of new humans grow, it is actually a kind of wasteland curiosity. The Special Research Department specializes in the study of strange objects in the wasteland, and is committed to using them in various ways. ”
"Wasteland Oddities......
Chen Chong suddenly became interested:
"What are the results of the research on the vault?"
"Of course there is, especially for us new humans. ”
The white crow smiled proudly:
"Not to mention anything else, just taking the spiritual fruit that is vital to our new human race, direct devouring is actually the lowest effect and the most wasteful method! And the same amount of spiritual fruit, after being extracted and blended by the Special Research Department, and made into an essence potion, the potency will be doubled, and the effect of direct devouring is far from comparable!"
Can it still be like this?
Chen Chong's face was a little strange, and he felt like he had missed something.
He was reminded of the red-skinned golden-veined fruits that had been eaten by him and were suspected to be high-level spiritual fruits. The effectiveness of these fruits is equivalent to dozens or hundreds of ordinary spiritual fruits, but it is a pity that they have already been eaten up by him today. According to what Bai Crow said, if these fruits were to be researched and blended by the special R&D department of the Silver Ring Shelter Area, and mixed into extracts, they would undoubtedly be much stronger than him eating ginseng fruits.
Not paying attention to Chen Chong's somewhat strange expression, Qi Yue then smiled:
"On the other hand, you should know that apart from firearms, we transcendents are better at hand-to-hand combat. However, ordinary cold weapons can't match our physical fitness at all, and the Force weapons created by the Special Research Department using wasteland strange objects are not only stronger, but also can increase the user's life force to a certain extent, allowing us to exert our strength beyond the ordinary!
However, the Force weapon is not a big commodity, and the resources of the Special Research Department are prioritized in favor of those in control, so it is not easy for us to obtain a high-quality Force weapon. All in all, the benefits of the Special Research Department are not obvious to ordinary people, but they are very helpful to us new humans. Whether it's a spirit potion or a Force weapon, it can help us survive in the dangerous wilderness. ”
"Human wisdom is indeed the sharpest weapon. ”
Digesting a large amount of information, Chen Chong couldn't help but sigh:
"It's not easy for the refuge area to find out this from nothing, and to gain a foothold in the wilderness so far. ”
However, hearing Chen Chong's exclamation, Qi Yue and Bai Yao shook their heads in unison: "You are wrong, these are not the refuge areas that have been groped out of nothing. ”
Chen Chong was stunned: "What do you say?"
"Have you ever thought that before the catastrophe, this place was vast and sparsely populated, just an ordinary provincial capital, and a gathering place of this scale was established. So how many survivors will there be in those military districts, megacities, and even former capitals where a large number of troops are stationed? After eighteen years have passed, how high is the level of development of their gathering places, and how many top-level new human beings have been born under the huge base?
Qi Yue shook his head and said:
"Whether it's the division of the life cultivation system of the new human beings, or the technical information about the strange things in the wasteland, they all spread from these places to the refuge area from the beginning, and we are just picking up people's teeth. ”
"Oh?"
Unexpectedly, Chen Chong's eyebrows raised suddenly.
At this time, the three of them had already arrived under the central building of the War Department.
Entering the hall, there was a lot of noise, the hall was overcrowded, Chen Chong swept his eyes and found that most of them were full of life, and they were obviously new humans.
Walking through the crowd, Qi Yue directly found a man who looked like a person in charge, and said something in his ear, and then he turned around and said, "Chen Chong, several committee members are waiting for you in the conference room upstairs, this is a separate review and inquiry of you, we will not go in." With our referral guarantee, we believe that you will be officially recognized in no time. ”
Chen Chong nodded, and then led by the man in charge, he crossed the counter and disappeared around the corner of the stairs.
It wasn't until Chen Chong's figure disappeared that the white crow said lightly:
"Lao Qi, what are your plans for being so enthusiastic about this Chen Chong, right?
"That's true. ”
Qi Yue didn't hide it, and said straightforwardly:
"Since the death of the beard half a year ago, the overall strength of our squad has plummeted, and many tasks have been stretched. And this Chen Chong's strength is not inferior to mine, and his background is clean, so I plan to give it a try. ”
With terrifying creatures like Aragami infested, the wilderness around the refuge area is not as dangerous as the wasteland, especially if you want to get more gains, you need to go deep into the wilderness, and almost no transcendent person will choose to go deep into the wilderness alone.
So basically, the transcendents in the Silver Ring Refuge Area go out into the wilderness in a squad mode, and only the transcendents who have a strong friendship with each other and can trust each other will form a team, so they are usually in groups of two or three.
The white crow looked at the teammates around him who were dying and shook his head:
"This person's character is unknown, but looking at his words and deeds in the waste area, it seems that he is also a hero-like character, I'm afraid he won't be subservient, have you ever thought about who should lead such a person when he joins the team?"
Qi Yue thought for a moment and sighed, "Let's try it first." ”
