Chapter 13: Radiation Crew
The Spy is now close to the center of the city, where the Void Bus left in the past.
This is considered a 'medium radiation area', although it is medium, but the radiation range is much higher than that outside, and the plants seem to be no different from the surroundings, and they are still covered with surrounding buildings.
In front there is a large square, covered with low plants, in which you can see many fragments of buildings, and some huge creatures move here.
This seems to be the biggest creature Lynn has seen since she arrived.
This creature is called the 'Light Hammer' by the Void People, it is a creature with six limbs, more than five meters tall and more than ten meters long, and its shape is somewhat like a long-necked dragon, but its head is a hammer, which is said to be used to compete for mates and pound trees, and it seems to emit a special luster at night.
Because of its beautiful form, a large number of them were raised in a 'zoo' and later released into the radiation area.
These creatures are not labeled extinct, but only that wild populations are extinct......
'Bang! β
Just as Lin was thinking, a sound sounded in the clearing, and these huge creatures were immediately frightened and fled in one direction en masse, and disappeared into the jungle next to the clearing.
"Damn...... Missed again. "Wait! There's an intruder here! β
At the same time, in the opposite direction of the creature's escape, a group of virtual people with weapons and protective suits rushed out.
The moment they saw the spy, they rushed over and shouted, "How did you get here?" β
"Captain! You see it's not wearing protective clothing! "What? Who are you? Hurry up and take it away! β
The vanity whispered as they grabbed the Spy, and they pulled the Spy toward the east of the clearing. Lynn spotted a small chariot there.
This is supposed to be an infantry carrier. The back half of the car resembles a box. There is a lot of space on which a large number of infantry can be carried, but there is no combat function.
The group of soldiers took the Spy into the car and asked a lot of questions, mostly asking why the Spy was able to walk in the radiation zone.
If you don't wear protective clothing, the Void Folk will faint here soon.
But Lynn didn't answer them, but looked around inside the infantry vehicle.
After this group of virtual people came up, there were still a lot of places left in the car. But these places were not empty, but the corpses of many creatures were placed, and in addition to the corpses, there were many pieces of flesh and the like.
Are they here to hunt creatures to eat?
"Hey! Why don't you speak! The two imaginary people pressed the spy against the wall to the side, pointed their weapons at the spy's face, and said, "Did you know that coming in is a capital crime?" β
"It may have been affected by radiation and was unable to speak." The Void Min, who was known as the captain, said, "But this kind of physique that resists this kind of Cheng dΓΉ radiation is very rare, so we must keep it." β
"When we get to the base, you should be able to explain to us why you're in this place."
The infantry vehicles slowly moved through the ruins of the jungle, and Lynn paid attention to the scenery outside, as they seemed to be driving towards an area near the center.
There are a lot of weird plants growing here, and Lynn sees a plant that looks like a 'Rafflesia' with bright colors. Blooming on the ground.
And in the center of this pile of flowers, there is a tall hemispherical building. The Void Folk parked the soldier's cart in front of the building.
This building ...... Lynn had seen the information before, and it was a facility known as an 'underground shelter'.
These were specifically made to resist large disasters such as the explosion of Type 78 bombs, and only a small part of the ground is said to have a complete facility underneath.
The Void traps the Spy's hand with an object, and pulls the Spy down.
"You, go and carry the prey, you go and check the supply of drinking water, why hasn't the water supply been repaired since it was broken?" The captain gave the order, and several of the virtual people immediately ran away, and the captain walked into the gate with the two virtual citizens holding the spies.
"Open." The door opened at the captain's voice, and closed again as soon as the Void Citizens entered.
Lynn saw a strange place inside, surrounded by white walls, with a mesh floor on the ground and a lot of tubular stuff on the roof......
"Now let's disinfect."
The moment a voice sounded, a large amount of water spurted out of the tubes on the roof, and Lin felt that this water was not ordinary water, but seemed to be mixed with many other ingredients.
"This is used to clean up radioactive dust on the body or protective clothing." The captain seemed to be 'kind' enough to explain to the spy: "It's clean. β
After being sprayed, Lynn did feel like there was no radioactivity on her, and the next door to the room opened, and they walked in with the Spy.
The next is a narrow passage, the captain and the two voidants take off their protective suits and lead the spy all the way down, the passage leads to a deep place, and after reaching the end and passing through a door, Lin sees the contents of the vault.
Over here...... It feels like ...... A place that can be translated as 'Internet cafΓ©'.
A large number of virtual people stayed here and operated next to the neatly arranged three-dimensional devices, observing the contents above.
However, most of the virtual people in the 'Internet cafΓ©' were playing some entertainment things, and the virtual people here seemed to be studying something, and Lin could barely see what they were studying from this position, as if there were things about creatures or something.
"Captain!" Suddenly, a virtual citizen approached, looked at the Spy and asked, "What's wrong with it?" β
"Found it over there in the square." The captain glanced at the spy and said, "It seems to have some kind of resistance to radiation, and a detailed investigation must be conducted." β
"But until then...... I want to ask why it came here. β
β¦β¦β¦
"You'll do this." In a small, dimly lit room, the Spy was kept alone.
The wall in front was transparent, and several Void Folk stood there looking at it, and the captain was there, and it said, "Enter text on the video to answer the question." β
"What are you doing here?" The Spy typed the first sentence.
"No, we're asking you questions." The captain said, "You tell us first how you got in." β
After thinking for a moment, Lin typed, "The plane crashed, fell in, and then wandered here......"
Seeing this, the captain of the "......" was silent for a few seconds, and then asked a virtual citizen beside him, "Is this true?" β
"I guess so......" said the hypocrite, "the lie detector doesn't respond." β
"Okay." The captain hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Then I will sue you, you have committed a very serious crime by coming to this place, even if it is due to the accident." β
"However, you can offset this crime, just join us here to work." The captain said, "I see that you have a very strong ability to resist radiation, and you can help a lot. β
The Spy hesitated slightly, then said to the captain, "Okay." β
ββ¦β¦ Can you speak? β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
In this way, Lynn's spies joined the strange group, and they later asked the spies a bunch of questions, but they were all about nationality, family, and so on.
They also make spies sign something called a contract, which is mainly used for work agreements or something.
After getting all the stuff done, they give the Spy a set of equipment, and the Spy officially joins them.
They mainly want the Spy to go to the Heavy Radiation Zone on a mission, and it seems that they want the Spy to find something.
Their suits are not resistant to heavy radiation, but the captain believes that the suits combined with the Spy's constitution make them completely unafraid of the threat of heavy radiation zones.
However, prior to the mission, the captain stated that there was a period of "observation" for the Spy to remain in the Vault.
And Lynn began to investigate here......
"It's a big place, beware of getting lost, there's not just a shelter here, there's a lot of it, but they're all connected underground, so we've built a big structure here, with District 10 being residential and District 11 being ...... Are you listening? β
A virtual citizen follows the Spy, the Captain's 'leader', and its mission is to brief the Spy about the situation.
"Are you hunting here?" The spy and the leader walked through a passageway, surrounded by a number of virtual carts pushing pieces of meat and corpses.
"yes." The leader said: "We hunt here, but we don't eat it, there are a lot of rich people out there who buy meat here at a high price, they don't want to eat those farmed wild algae and hormone-filled meat, they want to eat these 'all-natural' meat, which is also one of the sources of funds for running here." β
The Spy said, "Won't there be any problems?" β
"There is a limit to what we can hunt, and there will be no indiscriminate killing." The leader said: "The problem of radiation will be cleaned first, although it may not be very clean, but a small amount is fine." β
The "......" spy did not speak.
"Why do you always ......" The leader who was walking in front suddenly stopped, looked at the spy and said, "Expressionless......"
The Spy asked; "And what kind of expression do you like?"
"I just think...... It feels very uncomfortable to look at it expressionlessly, I don't care, but the captain prefers to see his subordinates smiling. The leader said: "Forget it, now you should have a basic understanding of the environment here, and you will soon be on a mission......
"Nope." The spy said, "You haven't said what exactly this place does. β
The leader said, "It's to stay alive." β
"Stay ...... Vitality? β
"It's secret information, and I don't know." The leader said, "I just know that this is to keep something running......" (To be continued......
