Chapter 292 Determination
( ) The iron boots smashed the snow foam, and the steel shells of the two T-3 power armors reflected the thin sunlight.
Followed by twenty "knights" wearing mechanical exoskeletons, and a hundred "citizens" wearing carbon nano body armor. With a Ripper rifle in hand, they marched in a loose square formation.
At the end of the queue was a Jagdtiger. The ferocious electromagnetic gun barrel, mounted on the back of the square-headed pickup truck, radiated a cold light under the cold light of that winter day.
Looking around, the streets on both sides of the highway were dead silent, and there were no figures of any aliens.
The dumbfounded zombies were buried in the snow, standing at the door of the dilapidated storefront, with ice slags from the frozen halazi on the corners of their mouths. Occasionally, a zombie walked into the middle of the road, and it would be knocked down by the passing soldiers with the butt of a gun.
Wanghai City in winter is very safe, although winter is about to pass.
Wearing power armor and walking in the front row of the queue, Jiang Chen recalled the conversation he had with Sun Jiao before departure.
…
"It's deceit."
"Cheating?" Jiang Chen asked in confusion.
Sun Jiao nodded and continued.
"After the shelter opened, the director organized us to set up simple tents on the ground, and organized technicians to survey the air and soil quality, and at the same time sent an advance team to investigate the surrounding conditions of the shelter. If the surface is inhabitable, we will end the refuge plan ahead of schedule. Reconstruction work is carried out on the ruins. If the situation is too bad, after we collect enough fusion cores, we will return to the shelter and wait for the situation to improve."
"About the third day after the refuge was opened, a ragged beggar came to the camp on the surface. I remember that everyone was very happy at the time, because there were still survivors on the surface."
"From his mouth, we learned a lot of useful information. For example, the World United Organization announced its dissolution, the colony ship launched, etc... Although some news is very depressing, it does not make people despair."
"Gradually, he gained our trust. One day, he suddenly told us that the nuclear fusion cores we collected could be exchanged for food in nearby survivor settlements."
"This is very reassuring news. After all, for shelters. As long as there is enough energy, it is easy to produce food."
"The director gave him five bags of rice and ordered two soldiers to escort him."
"However, we never thought
when he comes back. Followed by a group of bandits armed with rifles. The two soldiers were gone, but the two sets of blue security force uniforms were crookedly put on the two bandits. "
"The camp was in chaos, and everyone was defenseless. The director led the security forces to rush to meet them, but they were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers and firepower. There was a fire in the camp. It seemed that the bandits were still using Molotov cocktails."
"That's when I got separated from my family. I ran a long way, out of the camp, out of the street..."
At this point, Sun Jiao did not continue.
What happened next she has said before. Afraid to go home, wandering aimlessly among the ruins, finally met a female warrior who called herself pla, and then wandered alone...
…
cheat?
But I always feel that the real reason for the destruction of Vault 071 can be attributed to the reservedness of human nature of the pampered.
While thinking about it. Jiang Chen had already vaguely seen the square.
The guardrail of the iron net fell to the side of the street in pieces, and the sign of the 027 shelter was inserted crookedly on the concrete road. The dense white bones are piled up on the street corner along with the cement fragments, faintly visible under the snow.
In the center of the square is a freight elevator leading to the underground, and above that elevator stands a figure.
Looking at the figure with squinted eyes, Jiang Chen paused and raised his hand to stop the march.
Military uniforms, ponytails fluttering in the wind, all you can see from a distance.
It seems to have noticed Jiang Chen. The man walked towards him steadily.
Standing next to Jiang Chen, Cheng Weiguo was also wearing power armor. When he saw the man approaching, he raised the muzzle of his gun.
The man's footsteps paused, but he didn't stop moving forward.
Jiang Chen put his hand on Cheng Weiguo's gun. shook his head.
Cheng Weiguo agreed and put away his weapon.
It was a woman, but there was something masculine about that heroic face. The horse's tail fluttered with the wind, and with those indifferent eye masks closed, his demeanor was somewhat similar to Xia Shiyu's.
The only difference is. From her body, Jiang Chen couldn't see any timidity or anything like that.
Grinning playfully, Jiang Chen didn't understand where she had the courage to come alone.
Is it like Shi Yongtian, the director of the China Merchants Bureau, who can't figure out the situation on the surface?
About two meters in front of Jiang Chen, the woman stopped.
"Army captain, Han Junhua."
"Jiang Chen, although you may already know it." The voice came out from the metal casing, with a dull echo.
Opening the visor on the power armor helmet when talking is a basic etiquette to show friendliness. However, Jiang Chen didn't open the mask, after all, he didn't come to make friends.
"Yes."
"Are you standing here waiting for me?"
"Yes"
"Then you must know why I'm here." Looking down at Han Junhua, Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"Yes."
"Are you only right?" Jiang Chen asked helplessly.
"Is that a Type 50 electromagnetic gun?" Han Junhua glanced at the truck behind Jiang Chen, and asked an irrelevant topic abruptly.
Although it is not clear why she would ask such a question, it is not something worth covering up, so Jiang Chen nodded calmly.
"That's right."
"The 40-ton three-axle truck chassis is equipped with a Type 50 electromagnetic gun, completely sacrificing armor to increase firepower."
"That's right, how's it going? Are you sure you can win?" Jiang Chen said in a relaxed tone.
Han Junhua shook his head.
Even though self-awareness overcomes the possibility, there is still no trace of fear on his face. Jiang Chen couldn't see through such a calm appearance.
"Your scientific and technological level varies. Although you have inherited pre-war technology in some fields, there is no so-called scientific research system at all. Am I right?" Han Junhua pointed out the flaws of the Fishbone Base.
"Is there any problem?" Jiang Chen asked softly.
"We have advanced technology and a complete scientific research system, and these things are what you lack." Han Junhua said.
"That's why we're here." Jiang Chen didn't deny Han Junhua's statement, and said concisely.
"We can make a deal." Han Junhua said.
"The transaction is based on equal strength." Jiang Chen laughed.
"No, to be precise, it should be based on the concerns of both parties." Han Junhua shook his head and said.
"Then do you think I have any scruples?" Jiang Chen asked.
Han Junhua didn't speak, just reached into his pocket and took out a pistol.
This pistol alone was not enough to pose a threat to Jiang Chen who was wearing power armor, but the surrounding soldiers still raised their weapons and aimed their guns at her. If she dares to point their guns at their leader, they will pull the trigger and beat her to pieces.
Jiang Chen also didn't speak, nor did he stop the soldier's behavior, but just squinted and stared into her eyes.
From those eyes, he could not see any wavering.
She raised the muzzle of the gun and aimed it at her temple.
Everyone was stunned, including Jiang Chen who was standing in front of her.
"Before leaving the shelter, I used the authority of the director of the shelter to deploy the last command at the terminal of the shelter."
"After 24 hours, if my life signal cannot be detected in the shelter, the gate will be completely locked, and the closure period will be fifty years."
"At the same time, the gates between the residential areas and the functional areas will be temporarily locked, and the main control system will use ventilation facilities to release excessive gas into two of the residential areas, killing 925 residents."
Jiang Chen's pupils tightened, and he stared at this crazy girl in disbelief.
Without any reaction to Jiang Chen's gaze, Han Junhua continued to speak, as if he was just reciting a prayer, without the slightest ripple in his calm tone.
"The remains of 925 residents will enter the organic conversion furnace and be converted into organic matter, water and energy."
"To maintain the minimum life activity requirements, the refuge will take the remaining 818 people to fifty years later, if you are willing to wait, see you in fifty years."
"You madman."
Jiang Chen fixedly stared at Han Junhua's eyes, trying to find the fear of death in her pupils.
Yet he sees no color except an indifference to life.
"This is the worst choice." Han Junhua opened the insurance.
"Even if you surrender to me, I will not do anything to you. You will live a good life, you don't have to make this choice at all!"
He's telling the truth, he really didn't abuse anyone. Even the slaves in the Fishbone Base lived with dignity.
"But no one can guarantee this. In a minute, I will pull the trigger." Han Junhua closed his eyes.
The atmosphere froze instantly.
Silence lasted for half a minute between the two.
In the last few seconds, the mask opened with a bang.
Jiang Chen sighed, looked at Han Junhua and said.
"...Okay, let's talk about deals." (To be continued.)
ps: The update is so late, no matter how you think about it, it's all the fault of the bed!
