Chapter 140: The Corpse Pit
The ship's boss escaped during that civil unrest, and took a lot of good things with him when he left, and it seems that the most valuable thing is not the repair of the key parts of the military frigate, but the artificial cultivation technology of luminescent fungi.
"After many years of experimentation, some substantial results have finally been achieved."
Tang Yan didn't care about the words of the boat boss, he was thinking about another question.
If the luminescent fungus appeared in large numbers in the wasteland, would it attract the attention of Shinrikyo? Jewel City arms dealer Xia Qiming only supported a batch of weapons of the Alliance back then, and the gang of fanatics robbed Xia Xin, if the identity of the ship boss is exposed because of the luminous fungus, you can imagine what will happen next.
After a moment he looked up and asked a somewhat sensitive question.
"I want to ...... We can sit here and talk about business, not only because you have the artificial cultivation technology of luminescent fungi, but also because I have the production equipment of Maxim's Canning Factory. ”
The captain of the boat did not react in surprise when he heard this, and nodded his head.
"I want to protect Teshima."
"I want to hear about it."
Partnering with Maxim's Cannery to produce harmless canned marine fish is bound to win over the wealthy class and make a significant profit, benefiting the fishermen of Toshima.
So the question is, why didn't the boat boss do this when Huang Lei was alive, after he took over the Maxim's Canning Factory, the other party suddenly changed his mind and wanted to talk about cooperation with him, of course, things can't only involve economic interests.
"I'm dying......"
The boat boss's voice trembled a little, and the injection bag hanging in the air shook slightly.
"Whether or not to make a profit from the artificial cultivation technology of luminescent fungi has now become a tipping point for the outbreak of contradictions accumulated on the island for many years, and if I die like this, there will definitely be infighting in Toshima. I don't want to see them end their long-standing rife with fratricide, and I need a strong outside force, a sword of Damoris hanging over my head, to deter some from acting rashly. ”
Tang Yan understood that the ship boss wanted to make a powerful external ally in order to influence the power structure of Toshima. The Pandaren Legion with him has both military deterrence and economic benefits for Toshima. Even if the boat boss dies, he will become the shadow of the boat boss and hold down the restless hearts of some people.
"I know about you providing regeneration injections to the Confederates, and while it's not clear why you don't care about the truth reaction, it's safe to assume that you're not a reckless person. Now it seems...... The outside world defines your actions as ostentatious and flippant, and there must be some unknown considerations. ”
When the captain said this, his eyes were no longer dim, they were as sharp as two scalpels, as if they wanted to cut open his chest to see what kind of heart was hidden inside.
Tang Yan picked up his wine glass and took a sip to himself: "Your news is quite well-informed. ”
A very casual sentence, without responding positively to the temptation of the ship boss.
"Is it because I'm not afraid of the Truth Society, and I can use it to fight the thunder? Aren't you worried that I'm going to betray this information to the Truth Society? ”
The boat boss said: "I believe that you are a person with a bottom line. ”
Tang Yan said: "I still have one more question. ”
"Please."
"Rumors about you from the outside world...... Well, it's very different from what you are in front of you. ”
"People change, especially when they are old and dying. If I told you that the opportunity that made me make up my mind to use the artificial cultivation technology of luminous fungi was a dream I had during the Qingming Festival last year, when my brother, who had been dead for many years, suddenly came back to see me and asked me not to be as indifferent as them, would you believe it? ”
"Yes." Tang Yan nodded, just as Luo Zuoming's words before he died touched him a lot, sometimes the change of personality, psychology, and values only takes a meal, a cup of tea, and an instant.
"So...... What is your answer? ”
Tang Yan smiled and said, "Yes, but before that, you have to help me get a salvage boat." ”
"Salvage ship?" The boat boss looked at Tan Zhen: "Is there no salvage ship on the dock?" ”
Tan Zhen shook his head.
"What about Southport? If I'm not mistaken, there should have been another salvage boat there. ”
At this time, Lao Xing suddenly put down his chopsticks and interjected: "Isn't that our own salvage boat?" ”
The captain of the ship did not respond to Lao Xing's question, looked at Tang Yan and said, "I will ask someone to take you to Nangang in a while." ”
He sensibly didn't ask Tang Yan what he wanted to do with the salvage boat.
"It's a pleasure to work with." Tang Yan said.
"It's a pleasure to work with."
This time, even Tan Zhen picked up a glass of wine and drank it.
Gao Kai looked at this with his eyes, aimed at that, and thought that this world was a good thing, and he didn't get it done by breaking his mouth and breaking his legs, Deputy Head Tang settled it in a few words, and he also rubbed a big meal on the other side, and talked about a deal by the way.
Sure enough, people are more popular than dead people.
…………
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, and seeing that the sun was getting west, Tang Yan thought that since the battle had not started, he should go back as soon as possible, otherwise it would be dark when he arrived at the base.
The boat boss was pushed by Tan Zhen and sent to the door, perhaps because he was unwell after drinking and seeing the wind, and suddenly coughed violently.
Lao Xing said that he was idle, so he asked Tan Zhen to take care of the boat boss, and he led Tang Yan and the three of them to Nangang to pick up the ship.
Sitting in the convertible car as when he came, Lao Xing drove the three of them south to the area where the lighthouse and beacon tower were located.
As you can see from the outside of the Shell Tower, this is the highest peak on the island, and there is a seaside cliff not far ahead.
After getting out of the car, Lao Xing walked towards the lighthouse and explained to the three of them.
The so-called Nangang is a hidden military port under the lighthouse, which was used to moor military submarines and special service ships before the nuclear war, and also took into account some supply tasks.
Now this hollow harbor hidden inside the cliff is used by the ship boss to dock a Type 56 corvette, the strongest military force in Toshima------.
According to Lao Xing, this thing is the key to the fishermen of Toshima not being bullied by external forces, but it is also a big stomach king who devours countless wealth. A large part of the proceeds from the catch market go into its mouth (maintenance costs), and many islanders love and hate the Type 56 corvette.
When the four of them came to the foot of the lighthouse, Lao Xing greeted the soldiers patrolling with guns above, and walked into the hall on the first floor of the lighthouse.
There were two three-seater sofas against the wall, and a few single beds in the middle of the room, on which were clothes, kettles, bullet boxes, gas masks, tattered magazines, and piles of empty wine bottles in the corner.
Gao Kai burped, and forced the upsurge of wine back into his stomach.
Lao Xing glanced at them apologetically, walked directly to the pillar facility in the middle of the hall leading to the top floor, and pressed the elevator switch.
Bite!
The elevator door opened, and Zang Feng and Gao Kai walked in.
Tang Yan glanced at the spiraling staircase built around the elevator shaft, patted his red and hot face, and finally walked into the car.
The wine taken out by the boat boss is so strong that it is said to be a very famous brand in Qindao City, and the price before the nuclear war is comparable to that of Moutai and Wuliangye.
Lao Xing pressed the key at the lowest end of the selection panel.
With some harsh rattling, the car closes and the elevator goes down quickly.
It may be that the weightlessness aggravates the dizziness, Gao Kai can't stabilize his body, and his feet are a little floating. Fortunately, Zang Feng was on the side to hold his shoulder, so no one made a fool of himself.
"Don ...... Cliff...... I didn't expect you to drink so well, burp ......"
Tang Yan didn't pay attention to Gao Kai, and looked up at the indicator light at the top of the elevator.
Bite! When the green light is on, the elevator doors open, and what appears in front of you is a cramped passageway, and the lights on the ceiling cast a dim light.
Zang Feng helped Gao Kai out, and then Tang Yan, when he left the car with his right foot, he suddenly felt inappropriate.
The personal assistant machine given to him by Han Xin made a sound, although it was not violent, but it also meant that the current environmental radiation index exceeded the safe range.
Excessive levels of radioactivity in the underground passage leading to Nangang?
That doesn't seem to make sense......
Thinking of this question, his face sank, and he turned sharply to look behind him, but saw that Lao Xing did not walk out together, standing on the side of the car door that closed quickly, his face was cold, and his eyes were cold.
Quack Quack ......
With the muffled sound of the sling running, the car leaves the current floor and rises upward.
At this time, Gao Kai and Zang Feng also noticed that the situation had changed, and looked back at the elevator shaft.
"What about Lao Xing? How did you go? "Gao Kai drank too much, and his brain was a little weak.
Zang Feng walked over and clicked the buttons on the control panel continuously, but there was no response, and the car seemed to be locked in the lighthouse hall.
"Hey, Wang Ba Lamb......" Gao Kai shook the iron fence outside the elevator shaft vigorously, making a sparse noise, and finally realized that the situation of the three of them was a little bad.
Zang Feng glanced at Tang Yan: "Boat boss? ”
Tang Yan shook his head and did not speak.
If it was really the boss of the boat who played tricks with them, he could only say that the other party's acting skills were too good and his mind was too meticulous, and he designed a routine from the beginning for them to drill into it by themselves. If it weren't for the ship's boss tricking them, then the fun would have been great.
Lao Xing? Lao Xing is the niece and son-in-law of the ship boss! Whether from the perspective of interests, family affection, or gratitude for not killing in the first place, he should not do this kind of thing.
Quack Quack ......
A grinding sound peculiar to metal substances sounded, not the elevator behind it, but it seemed that there was an electromagnetic lock in front of it.
Tang Yan took out the mask of the Reaper armor and put it on to isolate the radiation in the environment.
"Let's go, I'm going to see what tricks those people can do."
Instead of holding the P-55 heavy electromagnetic pistol strapped to his waist, he drew the Gamma Sword from behind his back.
Zang Feng looked at the bounty hunter who only had one arm and had drunk a lot of wine, and frowned, but in the end he didn't say anything, and walked a little back to Tang Yan's left with two guns.
Just as Tang Yan guessed, he walked forward a short distance and saw an open iron door.
There was a light flickering behind the iron gate, green.
It wasn't the ceiling lights, of course, but the glowing living corpses of the wasteland dwellers.
The alarm of the Geiger counter became louder and louder, Tang Yan moved his neck, told Zang Feng and Gao Kai to be careful, raised the gamma sword in his hand and rushed forward.
The breath and sound of the living spread like a plague in the passage ahead, and one after another living corpses crawled out of the dark corners, looking back and forth with blank eyes for a while, looking at the location of Tang Yan and the three of them, as if a beast that had suddenly gone crazy pounced with a roar.
After passing through the electromagnetic lock gate, it becomes an open field, which can be seen to be excavated and reinforced on the basis of a natural grotto, and then there is a narrow passage to connect another large underground cavity.
Tang Yan noticed that there were some yellow metal canisters scattered around the open area, with a striking radioactive symbol printed in the middle.
"Could it be that this place is a nuclear waste disposal site?" He raised his head again to look at the swarming living corpses, and his expression became very gloomy: "Even if it is a nuclear waste disposal site, there are too many living corpses here." ”
Just in the first big hole in front of the electromagnetic door, there is a glowing living corpse, more than 20 ordinary living corpses, and there are still living corpses crawling outside in the pit under the stone wall.
The first living corpse had already rushed in front of him, he didn't have time to think about it, his feet exerted force, and the gamma sword in his hand was thrown to the side, and a ghostly light flashed, and the severely rotten head of the living corpse spun into the air, and fell to the dark and damp rocky ground with a snap, rolling into the ditch next to him.
Woohe......
With the characteristic roar of the living corpse, the smell of decay came from the side.
Tang Fang didn't have time to change his direction, his waist twisted hard, he held the sword with both hands and flirted with his backhand, and while he turned around, a faint light cut into the armpit of the living corpse.
The arm used to attack Tang Yan spun and flew up, and the stinky body fluids poured on the group of living corpses that poured in behind.
The living corpse that had lost its arm crossed Tang Yan's body under the action of inertia, tripped over a raised sharp stone, and plunged headlong into Zang Feng, who came from behind.
The legion commander lifted his foot, then stepped down.
There was a crunch click, and the steel boots crushed the heads of the living corpses.
At this time, Tang Yan had already rushed into the group of living corpses, without the help of the flamethrower, he was still not afraid of the tide of corpses, and used the Grim Reaper's first armor as an American football protector, one cat waist and one body straightened, using the shoulder armor as a shield to push forward, and those thin living corpses flew backwards like kicked meat balls.
As soon as his hand pressed on the ground, his body turned, and the gamma sword swept through the sector around him like a gust of wind.
Poof, click, click......
The sound of broken muscles and bones sounded, and in the blink of an eye, there was a circle of stumps and broken arms on the soles of his feet.
Gao Kai behind Zang Feng stared at him: "Can he ...... Belch...... It's ferocious. ”
The legion commander had already seen the picture of Tang Yan rushing into the corpse tide alone, and he had a certain degree of immunity to the visually striking picture in front of him, and he only secretly sighed that he knew that this situation would occur, and it would be good to bring the dog meat over.
Speaking of cooperating with Tang Fang, he and Gao Kai together do not have as much effect as dog meat.
Swish...... Poof.
The sword light flashed in the field of vision, and a living corpse with its legs cut off fell not far away, even if it lost its mobility, it did not stop, Ho Ho gasped, and crawled on the ground with his hands.
Zang Feng raised his left hand and shot the head of the living corpse with a broken leg, and his right arm was horizontal, and he quickly pulled the trigger, and the projectile was nailed into the head of the living corpse that had just exposed the upper half of its body from a man-wide cave above the stone wall, and the blood was splashed everywhere.
Rotting brains and black bodily fluids spilled onto the metal cylinders below.
