Chapter 656: Give for Nothing?

Previously, the people sent by the Bougerra Free State to contact the alliance were all Xavier, the salesman of the Flint Group, but this time a guy who claimed to be the foreign minister suddenly came, and Chu Guang didn't know whether his identity was true or false, so he put him aside after a polite sentence.

To be honest, he didn't really like the guys in the north.

Especially during the rectification of the slums outside Boulder, the Alliance's guards found that many gangs had the shadow of the Flint Group behind them.

Those guys did a lot of unseemly things in the guise of private business, and when they got into trouble, they hid behind the backs of the Free State.

Since the Free State is a "protectorate" of the Great Rift Valley, and the latter has a military power that is not inferior to that of the Legions and the Corporations, there is nothing anyone can do with these guys.

The Union Guards could not enter the Liberty State to enforce the law under the nose of the Great Rift Valley.

And the Flint Syndicate is also quite smart, never provoking behemoths such as academies, legions, and corporations, at most only operating in settlements that they are vassals or indirectly control.

For example, the settlements under the jurisdiction of the Science and Technology Commission, such as the countries of Luoxia Province, or the more prosperous settlements of the eastern provinces, etc.

That guy is like a nasty fly, and those who have the ability to swatt it to death are not interested, and those who can't reach it really can't swatt it.

What made Chu Guang wonder was that even if that Noreg was really the foreign minister of the Free State, why it was the foreign minister who came this time instead of the representative of the Flint Group.

The Flint Group is the real controller of the Free State, and the other party must know that the Alliance side knows about this.

Specially put on the official vest and ran to contact, Chu Guang couldn't help but wonder if there was something behind this that he didn't know.

Don't.......

Is it the Great Rift Valley that has given them an "idea" again?

Thinking of this, Chu Guang's expression couldn't help but play with it, and he decided to hang the foreign minister before he took the initiative to speak, and observe and observe first.

If we can figure out what their weakness is, the initiative will undoubtedly be in the hands of the alliance............

Thinking of this, Chu Guang put that Noreg aside and went to say hello to the real old friends of the alliance.

To his surprise, this time he met Luo, a member of the corporate council and the major shareholder of Silver Wing Group

Forever.

This middle-aged man with an extraordinary bearing first thanked Chu Guang for Luo Hua's matter, and then revealed a blockbuster, the news to him-

"The Board of Governors is not opposed to joining the same cross-regional cooperation organization as the Academy, especially when it comes to tackling the mutant slime mold, we actually put aside a century and a half of grudges a long time ago, but they are still thinking about the past............ If you can convince them, we don't have any opinions, and we can even take on some more responsibilities and obligations."

After hearing this, although Chu Guang was surprised in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, he just smiled and nodded.

"I'm glad that the Council is in such a position, and I'll do everything I can to convince them." Luo Yong smiled and raised his glass.

Then the two exchanged two words, and Chu Guang said goodbye and went to other places.

Just as he was about to walk around the banquet hall, the master of ceremonies in charge of the banquet suddenly walked quickly to his side and whispered in a low voice.

"Dear Mr. Administrator, a guest claiming to be the manager of Vault 70 would like to meet you.... We can't confirm his identity, so what do you think is the best way to deal with him?"

Vault 70?

Hearing this, Chu Guang was stunned for a moment.

Previously, there had been occasional Vault dwellers roaming the wasteland who had joined the Alliance, but most of them had come from Vaults that had been abandoned many years ago.

This is also the first time I have visited the Coalition as a Vault manager. Not only was the master of ceremonies unable to make up his mind, but an expression of surprise also appeared on his face. "What's his name?"

The master of ceremonies said respectfully.

"He claims to be Sun Yuechi."

Completely unheard of the name. But this

It's also normal.

The Coalition has never found a vault numbered 70.

Chu Guang thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Invite him to the break room, I'll come later." The master of ceremonies nodded.

"Yes."

Spacious lounge.

Sun Yuechi, who was sitting on the sofa, frequently looked at the wall clock on the wall, and glanced at the VM on his arm from time to time, his expression was a little cramped.

Although he was ready to contact the Alliance administrators, he was not 100% sure what kind of person the other party was, and what his attitude was towards the other Vaults.

It's just that at present, they are the most reliable in the area.

After fidgeting for a full quarter of an hour, heavy footsteps came from outside the door of the break room.

Sun Yuechi subconsciously sat up straight, and at this moment, the door of the lounge opened, and a man in power armor walked in.

Seeing the azure power armor, Sun Yuechi was slightly surprised, and while getting up from the sofa, he subconsciously blurted out.

"It's. . . Severn Verard's Power Armor?"

Before, in the square, he only glanced at it from a distance, and did not see the details of the appearance of the azure power armor.

Seeing that the person in front of him recognized the origin of this set of power armor on his body, Chu Guang also looked at him in surprise. "Do you know him?"

"Of course I do...... Ah, it's not the kind of understanding you understand, it's just that I've learned some things about him unilaterally."

Looking at Chu Guang's surprised expression, Sun Yuechi immediately realized that he had misunderstood, and then stretched out his right hand and said with a smile, "Please allow me to introduce myself, I am the manager of Vault 70, Sun Yuechi."

"Vault 404 manager, Chu Guang. Don't be so polite, we're all friends on the same front, so let's sit down and talk about something."

Shaking his hand, Chu Guang invited him to sit down, and then glanced curiously at the man who claimed to be the manager of Vault 70.

"Can you tell me where you learned about Severn?" "That's a long story."

As if thinking about where to start, Sun Yuechi stopped thinking for a moment before slowly speaking and continuing.

"You should know that most Vaults have the mission of rebuilding civilization in addition to the obligation to contain survivors."

Chu Guang nodded, but he didn't know why he mentioned it.

Looking at Chu Guang, who had a questioning expression on his face, Sun Yuechi did not explain immediately, but continued.

"Vault 117 is home to a large number of biologists and their offspring, and in addition to carrying out surface reconstructions after the release date, they also have the task of researching the brood in the center of Clear Springs City............ After all, at that time, it was believed that the slime mutant was the main cause of the wasteland, and only by solving the slime mutant could there be any hope of ending the wasteland."

Mutants, marauders, mutants, and reversible wastelanders are all problems that arise in the Wasteland Age.

Only mutant slime molds and nuclear radiation are the real historical legacy problems. Chu Guang nodded.

"I've heard that there are residents of Vault 117 in the Alliance, and she's our chief biologist, and she's led research on the slime mold variant."

Sun Yuechi smiled and said.

"Really? Mr. Severn Villard would be glad to know. In short, our mission is similar to that of Vault 117, in addition to the task of rebuilding after the lockdown has been lifted, we also have the task of researching the nearby brood."

"So, after discovering that the post-war reconstruction committee had been evacuated from Cheongquan City, we managed to get in touch with Vault 117, the only one in the area that is still on its mission, after all, it is better to cooperate in scientific research than behind closed doors."

"Since we opened the doors a hundred years before them, and Severn Villard strictly enforced the lockdown strategy for Vault 117, it was usually our men who did it in their place

The onshore part of the survey, while they are more engaged in sample research and data processing."

"This work has been going on for almost a century, and we send people to Qingquan City almost every year to regularly contact and exchange information with Vault 117 to observe the slime fruiting bodies in the center of Qingquan City and discuss the next research plan."

When he said this, Sun Yuechi's expression showed a slight regret, as if he was missing an old friend who had passed away. It's also like nostalgia for a vanishing era.

"I took over the stewardship of the previous administrator ten years ago, and just ten years before I took over the stewardship, all of our communication with Vault 117 came to an abrupt end...... That's Wasteland Era 191, you should know, right? γ€Œ

Chu Guang said with a solemn expression.

"Torch."

Sun Yuechi nodded and said with a complicated expression.

"Yes, when our people arrived again........ there was only an empty shelter left, and we couldn't afford to take over a shelter that was thousands of kilometers away from us, so we copied some of the data and left it where it was, trusting that other nearby Vaults would find it when the lockdown was lifted."

When he said this, Sun Yuechi looked at Chu Guang and smiled.

"It seems that my predecessors were right, and you not only made the best use of the resources of that vault, but even fulfilled their long-cherished wish to die............ Completely solve the brood in the center of Qingquan City."

Hearing this heartfelt compliment, Chu Guang smiled heartily, but quickly noticed another detail mentioned in his words.

"You have a brood there, too?"

"Yes." Sun Yuechi nodded lightly, took out a holographic computer pen and put it on the coffee table in front of the sofa, and touched it gently

Button.

Pale blue holographic light and shadow intertwined above the coffee table to form a giant silver disc.

Chu Guang initially thought he was showing himself the structure of Vault 70, until an azure planet appeared next to the silver disk.

It's a space station!

And judging from the earth and space elevators that are used as references next to it, the scale of this annular space station is not small!

It floats next to the end of the space elevator, and circles like a merry-go-round like the rest of the space station, like a satellite city of the elevator.

"This is what the Heavenly Court space station was before ....... and now, it has become like this." Sun Yuechi stretched out his index finger and slid it gently.

I saw that the blue planet and the space elevator turned into pale blue particles of light and dispersed, and the huge silver disc seemed to have fallen into a bottomless water tank, and then it was entwined by scarlet tentacles protruding from the darkness, and filling every inch of the inside.

Looking at Chu Guang, who had a dumb face, Sun Yuechi continued in a very soft voice.

"Our refuge is at the bottom of the sea, where there are a lot of untapped resources to exploit, and we originally planned to build a settlement on the bottom of the sea that can accommodate 100,000 survivors, and then gradually expand to the surface and shore to complete the revival of Haiya Province and the southern seas."

"However, plans never keep up with the change, and the Celestial Court space station fell with the collapse of the space elevator during the three-year war, and landed near us. The enormous impact kinetic energy is in no way inferior to that of a strategic-class nuclear weapon, and while our shelter has withstood the damage, the subsea engineering equipment we have placed outside the shelter and the production units that have not yet been deployed are almost completely wiped out..."

"it!"

When he heard this, Chu Guang couldn't help but blurt out a sentence, and when he saw Sun Yuechi looking at him in a daze, he coughed lightly to cover up his gaffe.

"I'm sorry, I'm just a little surprised, but you're so lucky." He couldn't find the right words to describe it for a while.

Such a large space station happened to fall at the door of the shelter.

Although the shelter was built to withstand the strike of a nuclear weapon, Chu Guang had not heard of a shelter that had actually been hit by a nuclear weapon.

I wonder if they're the only ones who areβ€”

β€”A shelter that took over a "strategic nuclear weapon" with his face. Sun Yuechi made a helpless expression and shrugged his shoulders.

"We are not alone in the shelter in the deep sea, it has fallen on our heads, and there is no way to do it. Perhaps, as you said, we are not very lucky............ In particular, there is a hatching brood on this space station."

"When we left the Vault, a century had passed since the three-year war, and the brood had been thriving at the bottom of the ocean for a century, turning most of the space station into part of the nest. In order to build an undersea settlement, we tried to recover some materials from it, but we were able to recover quite a limited amount. And even if we're careful enough, the fruiting bodies it hatches still cause us a lot of trouble."

After listening to his words, Chu Guang probably guessed the purpose of his coming here, presumably hoping that he could help them solve the brood that was entwined around the space station.

It just so happened that Chu Guang was also full of interest in the space station, so he immediately said with a serious expression.

"No problem! It is our duty to fight for the future of human civilization, and making the slime mold mutant harmless happens to be what we do best, and we will help you solve that problem! γ€Œ

"Thank you, I really didn't see the wrong person," Sun Yuechi glanced at him gratefully, but quickly showed a ashamed expression, "But............ The assistance I want to ask you for is not limited to this, we have more imminent troubles before we can solve the brooding brood that haunts the Heavenly Court."

Without waiting for Chu Guang to ask, he paused and continued.

"Like Vault 117, we're going to be falling apart." Chu Guang was stunned and looked at him with a strange expression.

"You ............ Didn't you come out of the shelter a long time ago?"

"That's true, but it's not just about getting out of the vault or not, we disagree on a lot of things............ Especially after our people saw the situation in the province of Haiya, some people began to think that allowing humanity to evolve into a higher being could be a way to end the Wasteland Age, even if the Church's approach was a little extreme."

Looking at the stunned Chu Guang, the expression on Sun Yuechi's face was half bitter and half unspeakably embarrassed. After all, it's really not something to be proud of.

Still, he tried to defend himself.

"It's inevitable, after all, our cooperation with Vault 117 has lasted nearly a century, and our people naturally have a good affection for those who break free and escape...

"You ...... Do you know what those lunatics are doing in Haiya Province?" The Adam's apple moved, and Chu Guang looked at him and asked.

"I know," Sun Yuechi said with a wry smile, "But what's the use of just knowing it? I'm not like you, you can get those people to believe in you unconditionally, but I can only try to convince those who disagree. I think the Torch Church's approach is so extreme that even though we used to be friends, some people think that this is the price that must be paid, and even fantasize that they can use the technology of the torch to turn themselves into spirits swimming in the sea.... What can I say? γ€Œ

After a pause, he continued.

"Even before I took over Vault 70, the mistake was already there. While most of the inhabitants of the shelter are still on my side, the disagreement stems from the maritime settlements we have built on man-made islands in the southern seas."

"They have formed the Confederation under the leadership of a section of Torch supporters, and have de facto freed from our control and intend to throw themselves into the arms of the Torch Church."

"I've used almost everything I can, but I still can't stop them from coming closer to the Torch Church. If they only want to destroy themselves, the problem is that they are not satisfied with this, and they also plan to introduce the mycelium of Naguo into the ocean."

After a pause, Sun Yuechi looked at Chu Guang and said in a solemn tone.

"I was going to go to the Great Rift Valley to ask for help, after all, there are still people from the War Construction Commission, maybe they will act for the sake of the urgency of the situation, but along the way here, I heard many legends about you and the Alliance, which made me change the destination of this trip."

"Those wastelanders don't have any hope for what the Builders have left behind, and they even see those guys as one of the reasons why this world is the way it is, but when it comes to you and the Alliance, they speak highly of it............ Even if not everybody likes you."

This sycophant was caught off guard, Chu Guang coughed lightly, and said modestly.

"Rumors are always more exaggerated than facts............. we are still too young compared to the ancient survivor forces."

"But you've done what none of them did, did you? And I don't just take hearsay for granted, I've been observing this colony for a while, and you do have something that we don't have.......... It's not just the technical aspect."

Looking at Chu Guang seriously, Sun Yuechi continued in a non-joking tone.

"So, I want to hand over the management of Vault 70 to you, including the settlement we have established on the sea." Chu Guang: ".?"

Throwing down that sentence, Sun Yuechi didn't wait for Chu Guang to answer, he lifted the VM on his left arm, stretched out his index finger and pointed it on the screen.

As a line of light blue pop-ups appeared on the VM screen, he selected the confirmation button twice in a row to complete the transfer of manager permissions.

Looking at Sun Yuechi, who breathed a sigh of relief, Chu Guang had a stunned expression on his face. This guy is coming really??

Just when Chu Guang came back to his senses, this guy had already completed all the procedures and happily threw the key to Vault 70 to him.

The entire transfer process of permissions was much simpler than expected, and rows of light blue pop-ups flashed quickly in front of Chu Guang's eyes.

[Vault 70 administrator clearance has been revoked....

[Please ask the new manager to go to Vault 70 and import the password to any terminal device connected to the main server of the vault, and update the biometric information to complete the final confirmation process for the transfer of management privileges.] 】

Looking at the stunned Chu Guang, the relieved Sun Yuechi smiled, and his tone was much more relaxed than just now.

"I'm ashamed to hand over this mess to you, but it's the only thing I can do............ Since you said that you want to unite everyone, please trust us for the future!"

(Thanks to the leader of "Meaningless Life" for his reward!! οΌ‰
