Verse 493: The Tragedy of the Old Days (1)
With Jason's help, Marin unlocks the secret code, which is a personal key for a Vault member - in addition to the basic functions of a tablet, it unlocks the Vault's closed door.
"Can you confirm where this vault is?" Marin was very curious, the previous shelter under the Aegean Sea in Greece was far beyond Marin's imagination, and he was very curious about where this new shelter would be.
"We found it in the ruins of the old days in the north, almost north to the central part of Old Ingmar." Jon didn't understand what the Vault was, but he sensed that fortune beckoned him.
It made Jon unable to hide a smile from his face.
"By the way, your captain, I think it's a windfall for you, it's good, it will bring you wealth and fame, but I want to tell you, beyond that, you also have to deal with dangers, old runaway spirits, traps that you can't handle at all, and a series of dangers that come with finding your refuge...... Let him come and talk to me, Jon, and I give you the right to choose. ”
In Marin's opinion, Jason would never let these monkeys of the new world get their hands on the refuge, so he would give these young people a sum of money that would be difficult for them to refuse, but ...... If they still want to get more than they deserve, then ...... Marin felt that he should have a grave ready for them.
Jon thought about it for a moment and decided to find his captain.
Marin leaned back in his chair and looked at the wallpaper on the tablet in his hand, a surprising sentence, but the thought that this should be something unearthed in the French Quarter of that era would make Marin feel less surprising - long live the people.
It's Chinese.
Marin clicked on the recording software, and most of the dozens of recording files left behind had been damaged, and the two files that could still be played were just ordinary chat records, but the chat parties were still in Chinese.
The call log had been corrupted, and all that was left was the lines of text on the form and the table.
Marin flipped through the software used for diary recording and found clues on it.
This thing is supposed to be a Chinese tablet, he is supposed to be a Vault child born after the Great Destruction, in the years between the second destruction and the third destruction, the Vault he was in was disintegrated due to the extreme lack of supplies, he and a few people went south, hoping to find the energy core in the ruins to restart the Vault.
Unfortunately, they failed, and the young man was the last victim of the team, who spent the night in the ruins and then died in an unknown attack.
"They at least tried." Jason said of the young men.
And Marin sighed: "In that era, everyone gave their all. ”
Everyone is sacrificing for this civilization, looking at the young people in front of them who are looking at the tablet and opening the camera software, the dust on their faces, their shabby clothes, and their tired smiles...... They have done things that many people simply can't do, and their courage, perseverance, and perseverance are amazing.
In the underlying directory of the final recording software, there is the young man's last monologue.
This is the Normandy Vault, I am the seeker, the energy core of our Vault is broken, I must find a brand new one, otherwise the entire Vault will be destroyed, and the Gene Preservation Center left on the ground floor will be powered out in three months...... If there really is a god in this world, then please bless us humans.
I'll spend the night in the ruins tonight, hoping that the campfire won't attract the prying eyes of evil creatures.
"I've said a long time ago that it's a very unreliable thing to count on gods." Jason's electronic voice was full of sarcasm, but Marlin could hear his sarcastic sadness, and eventually, the mechanical body called up the floor plan of the city before it was in ruins, and marked the location of the victim: "He should go another fifty meters to the south, there is a half-collapsed building, he should be able to enter it, it is the largest shopping center in the city, there should be an energy core in it, and there should be a protector, this mechanical body is made on the condition of protecting the guests, You can protect him no matter what. ”
"It's a pity that fate has no ifs." Marin sighed.
Fate is so chaotic, life is a game without access, every step needs to be considered, because the loser has no chance to start again.
At that moment, Jon came with his captain, a big man, somewhat of the blood of a giant.
Marin also saw the players behind him: "Do you want to hear what I have to say?" Marin asked with a smile.
"yes, more often than not, I want to see you in person." The giant knelt on one knee in front of Marin with the courtesy of a giant, and his right hand was pressed on his right knee, as a tribute to the strong.
"What you have found is a key to open the refuge that the old civilization had, and I am now giving you two choices, one is that you sell me the key, which will be a very large number, and it will be a very large amount that will satisfy all of you, and your children will be able to join the school, and the gifted children will become apprentices." At this point, Marin paused for a moment, then looked at the people who were full of curiosity and continued, "Another option, you can get this key back, and then you can explore it yourself, if you choose this, I can swear to the Lord of Justice that I will never covet this key of yours." ”
“…… Ladies and gentlemen, what do you want to do at this difficult time, vote by a show of hands. The big man said.
Marin watched them start voting, Jon and his captain chose to divide the money first, and under their guidance, five of the seven team members finally chose the same path, and the remaining two, although helpless, still admitted the result of the minority obeying the majority.
This made Marin breathe a sigh of relief - it was far better to be able to reach a consensus than to be able to argue between the two sides.
So nine people, Marin came up with two copywriting, one is that each person has 100,000 Movis banknotes in place at one time, and the other is 10,000 banknotes, and the rest of the money will be used by Marin as a cadre of various departments - such as the pastures of the Pastor Church.
You can choose it, but only Jon and the captain choose the second copy.
Jon would choose to become a landowner, after all, because he was an aristocrat and knew that it was far better to own the dividends of the ranch than to take the money and not know what to do.
But the fact that the big half-breed would do that made Marin very curious.
The big man gave Marin an answer that he couldn't help but laugh at - the giants said that Marlin would not deceive his kind.
Okay, the giants are not all fools on their side, there are still people who can play masters of public opinion.
So the money was paid, Marin saw everyone off, and then went back to the reception room, where the girl Lulu was looking at the tablet.
"Do you know Thai-Nan?" Marin asked with a smile.
"Yes, the night watchman of the royal church...... In fact, the people who founded the Church of the Kingdom were the old humans before the Great Destruction. Lulu said as she seemed to open the playback software, which contained rock 'n' roll that was a little difficult for Marin to accept.
It's too noisy, isn't it.
"An old youkai from eight thousand years ago?"
Thinking of this, Marin reached out and Milani, the squirrel covering his ears on the table, jumped into the hand of its owner and put it in the hood, Marin came to the table and looked at the night watchman girl in front of him: "Is he still alive?" ”
"I don't know, maybe, I'm sure I'm not in the know anyway." Lulu said with some regret.
"Thinking about it isn't something you should know either." Marin smiled and stroked the girl's head: "Okay, get ready, I'll take you to this shelter in the afternoon to see the world." ”
"Hey, take me there, didn't you pay them so that the morgue of the old civilization would not be exposed to the eyes of the pretenders." Lulu turned off the software and handed the tablet to Marin.
"Faye told me that you are a trustworthy person, so I think I can take you to see those watchmen who have not given up everything in the era of destruction, although their efforts for civilization have failed, but what they have done should not be forgotten and trampled on, because our generation will surely rekindle the fire of civilization, and in the darkness of sinking, the flame of civilization that represents this planet will surely illuminate everything."
With that, Marin took the tablet and placed it in his backpack.
"What you said is very good, although I don't really understand what civilization you are talking about, but I vaguely understand that you must be talking about the great civilization before the great destruction, the one that can make steel fly in the sky, so that people can still talk face-to-face from thousands of miles apart, so that every child can not face the dawn of hunger and cold...... These are all things that Faye told me, and he also said that you would be a great prince, a responsible husband, and even more a benevolent gentleman. ”
Marin felt a little embarrassed to be able to make Faye comment like this, but she was right about one thing, Marin was determined to create a world where every child would not have to face hunger and cold.
“…… Have you ever heard of Northernism, and what do you think of me compared to Northernism? ”
"Although I am a night watchman and a nobleman, I still have to admit that what you have done has been more useful than those who are arguing with each other, you are a doer, they and him...... There is simply no comparison. Lulu replied, she looked at Marin, full of anticipation, "I believe Marin you will definitely become the best lord, and what you have done is a new beauty that the Night's Watch has not seen in all these long years." ”
This made Marin somewhat happy, after all, it meant admitting that she was satisfied with what he had done.
That's fine.
