Chapter 176: Aurora
If there is nuclear power, why should I worry about fuel, uncle!
If there is nuclear power, what a pleasant thing to be happy to use for decades without refueling!
If there is nuclear power, I am willing to drift on the sea, and I am far away from nuclear, biological and chemical weapons on land, what a wonderful thing!
Hearing Little Rooney say that there was a nuclear-powered ship waiting for him, Zhou Qingfeng stood up and asked anxiously, "What's that guy's name?" Where is it? I'm going to see him right away. ”
"He said his name was Alan, but he was always hiding too much to show his face in public. But he said he had a nuclear-powered ship called the Aurora. ”
Aurora? Zhou Qingfeng clicked on his armband computer and searched for relevant information in the database, and the results were extremely exciting.
The ship is a polar research vessel of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, launched six years ago with a displacement of 30,000 tons and powered by two 100-megawatt maintenance-free nuclear power reactors. The full life span reaches 30 years.
The ship was extremely advanced and only required a crew of forty to pilot. And because it is a polar expedition, there are complete living and working facilities on board.
The ship can accommodate a scientific expedition team of up to 300 people for three months. The most important thing is that there is plenty of electricity, the space is huge, and it is extremely comfortable to live on, which is simply a treasure specially tailored for the last days!
However, Rooney Jr. is also unclear about Allen's specific identity, "He said that if Mr. Hugo is interested, he will meet at the Blues Bar at eight o'clock tonight, and use a copy of the end of the world as a symbol." You're the only one. If you bring more people, he won't show up. ”
The butcher was very skeptical about this condition, "Could this be a trap, you must know that the Skeleton Society is looking for you with a bounty." ”
That's right, Zhou Qingfeng was rewarded by the Skeleton Society with a high price. Because in order to boost morale, the Brotherhood of Steel deliberately publicized some details of the First Battle of Manhattan. And in order to prevent Zhou Qingfeng from defecting, he deliberately pointed out that it was he who caused the skeleton to suffer.
It is precisely because of this that Zhou Qingfeng rarely appears to the public. But if someone knows everything about him and wants to lure him in, a nuclear-powered ship is a good bait.
"The problem is that the Aurora could really be in New York." Zhou Qingfeng found out the last news of the 'Aurora' before the cataclysm, and the ship docked somewhere in New York, "I think I need to take this risk, it's a big deal to bring 'dog meat'." ”
Wang ......, 'dog meat' wanted to follow Zhou Qingfeng with his tail.
"Well, I'll support you on the periphery." The butcher nodded in agreement, "And you'd better bring a few children, they are very familiar with the environment here, and they can help a lot." ”
The decision has been decided, waiting for the sunset in the evening, Zhou Qingfeng will take the 'dog meat' to the blues bar. It's a bar, but there's no alcohol at all, and there's no loud music. The bar was lifeless and filled with the smell of sweat. It's full of all kinds of desperate people, chatting to pass the misery day after day.
The blues bar is the lowest bar of the apocalypse, and the owner of the bar occasionally sells cheap and shoddy food, which becomes the only hope for many people to survive.
Since the power supply has long been cut off, the bar is lit up by a few gasoline drums burning wood at nightfall. Everyone is asking where they can get a job or where they can find a way out.
Zhou Qingfeng walked into the bar wearing a torn blanket, wearing a mask on his face and his hair was messy, like a down-and-out homeless man. He sat down in a corner and threw a copy of the Last Days on the table.
"I'm in." Under the cover of a broken blanket, Zhou Qingfeng said on the radio, "Everything is quiet in the bar, but it stinks." ”
The butcher also said on the radio: "It's quiet outside, and the streets are deserted. Rooney's companions have dispersed, and they are responsible for guarding the surrounding neighborhoods for changes. ”
It passed quietly for more than an hour, and the time was until nine o'clock. Just when Zhou Qingfeng was a little impatient, a homeless man who had been sitting in the bar suddenly stood up and slowly walked in front of Zhou Qingfeng, "Hello, Mr. Hugo! ”
"Alan?" Zhou Qingfeng asked in surprise.
"Yes." The homeless man's voice was hoarse.
"You've made me sit here for nothing, just staring at me?"
"I have to be careful, because I, like you, am wanted by the Skull Society."
"Why are you wanted?"
"Can you get me something to eat first? I hadn't eaten properly for three days, and I felt like I was going to starve to death at any moment. ”
Zhou Qingfeng carefully observed the dirty face of the homeless man in front of him, and felt that the other party was in his fifties, with sunken eye sockets and cheeks, and he should be a person who was really hungry. He pulled a bullet out of his pocket and placed it on the table, and Alan immediately used it to go to the bar counter to exchange for a small piece of hard black bread and a bowl of cold vegetable soup.
Alan tore up the brown bread, soaked it in vegetable broth, and slowly ate it to its heart. When he finally finished eating, he leaned back in his chair and sighed comfortably, "I never thought that one day I would be so easily satisfied, fate is so strange." ”
"Tell me about your ship, our time is precious." Zhou Qingfeng said.
"Hehe......." Alan stretched out his dirty hand and shook Zhou Qingfeng gently, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Allen. Derek, First Officer of the Aurora. Mr. Hugo, I hope you can save the crew of our ship. ”
According to Allen's account, the 'Aurora' has been undergoing repairs at the ship repair yard in New York for half a year, and after the repairs, they sailed to the South Pole for scientific investigation. Who knew that only one day after the ship went out, the cataclysm struck, and a large number of people affiliated with government agencies on the ship disappeared, leaving only a few dozen private employees, including the first mate Allen. Derek.
And when the first mate returned to New York with a terrified crew, he found that the whole of New York was in chaos. They tried to contact the government but were met by a man named Fernando. Resno's men were hijacked.
"The Aurora was on the dock in Brooklyn, and we didn't know that the government was gone, let alone what to do next. Fernando. Resno suddenly appeared on our ship and said that the ship was now his own and that he was going to rename the ship 'Rachel'. ”
Wait...... Rachel? Rachel. Connor or Rachel. Lawrence? Zhou Qingfeng suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Allen's narration and asked, "Have you ever seen a very beautiful woman next to Fernando, about thirty years old, with an excellent figure, and her name is Rachel." ”
"Nope." Alan shook his head, "Fernando. Resno quickly brought a large number of armed men and quickly seized our ship, forcing us to sail deep into a bay near JFK Airport in Queens.
We refused to take his orders, and the demon killed several of us. We had to run out for this. But to escape only to find that the world has completely collapsed, and we simply cannot survive, and Fernando. Resno is still sending people everywhere to arrest us. ”
"Since you're starving to death, why don't you just go to Fernando. Resno? Zhou Qingfeng was very skeptical.
Allen said sadly, "Are you willing to take refuge in a man who killed your son?" Fernando. When Resno was snatching the Aurora, my son, as a crew member, tried to stop him, but he was the first to die. I will not forgive that demon until I die. I want him to hell! ”
Looking at Old Allen's thin face, Zhou Qingfeng didn't know whether to sigh at the other party's misfortune or his own luck. At this moment, the butcher sent a warning on the radio: "Victor, the situation is not good. The Skull and Bones Club went to the bar where you were staying, and there were a lot of them.
