Chapter 629 "The Imperial Capital"

Before leaving, Jiang Chen and Sun Xiaorou went to the power room and dormancy center respectively.

Just as Xiao Rou guessed, someone came to the shelter, installed new fuel rods here, and even lived here for a long time. It's just that for some reason, or because he has already achieved a certain purpose here, so he left here in the end.

And this walk is a few years.

After he left, he turned off the power of the shelter, and it was not until Jiang Chen entered the password on the terminal at the door of the director's office that the sleeping shelter No. 71 was awakened.

"Immortality, or at least life extension, these technologies are part of the interstellar colonization plan, although they are not necessary. The Church of Dusk tried to find this place, and they did arrive here. But they don't know the password of the director's office, so for the What's inside is helpless."

"Can't we blow the door open?" Jiang Chen asked.

According to Han Junhua, the office of the director of shelter No. 27 can be opened through violence.

"Unless the design allows. Otherwise, even if you blow up the entire shelter, you may not be able to blow up this room." Sun Xiaorou said with a sigh.

Jiang Chen was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head with a smile.

"It's so dark."

Whether it's the thousand meters below, or this shelter.

Sun Xiaorou curled the corners of her mouth and continued the topic just now.

"But the church finally collected some interesting clues outside the shelter. For example, the observer's experiment, and the director of the shelter's refusal to continue the experiment, which also involved a girl."

"In that diary, the girl who was crossed off the list?"

"It's possible." Sun Xiaorou nodded seriously, "After all, she was chosen as the experimenter, so there should be something special about her."

"Observer, little girl... only these two clues?"

After searching the entire shelter, Jiang Chen couldn't find the laboratory mentioned in the diary.

Sun Xiaorou carefully recalled what happened when she was a child, and she has no impression of the word laboratory.

What kind of brutal experiment was carried out by that observer? With the abandonment of Vault 71, it has been brought into the grave.

But apart from the secret about immortality.

The two also found some "interesting" things in the shelter.

An experimental quantum computer. It is similar to a dismantled soilless cultivation device, and there are some gadgets that only appear in the shelter.

Finding a quantum computer here was a complete surprise, and most abandoned safehouses are visited by scavengers. Electronic components and special materials on quantum computers can be used to make weapon accessories.

The quantum computer was not found by scavengers. It can only be said that it is hidden deep.

The two then went around the shelter a few more times, after confirming that there was nothing else useful. Marks are left on things that need to be moved.

With that diary in hand, Jiang Chen and Xiaorou boarded the elevator back to the surface. After pressing the activated switch, he raised his left arm. I glanced at the time on Ep.

It was exactly six o'clock.

After reaching the surface, several personal guards greeted him immediately.

"Marshal. If you don't come out again, we are going to rush in to find you." Seeing that Jiang Chen was safe and sound, Li Wang was relieved.

"Is it already this late?" Jiang Chen looked up.

I saw that the sky had completely darkened. It looked like it was going to rain.

"What are you going to do with this shelter?" Sun Xiaorou asked.

"Temporary control, at least one checkpoint must be maintained here... and a cemetery." Scanning the bones all over the ground. Jiang Chen said.

With her thin lips pursed into a grateful smile, Sun Xiaorou nodded slightly.

"kindness."

Instructing Li Wang to take five personal guards to continue guarding here, Jiang Chen got into the infantry vehicle. Return in the direction of the military outpost.

Before dark, the Yunzhi-51 on the Order will arrive in the area, bringing reinforcements and supplies.

...

Qingshan Stadium, here is the imperial capital of the empire.

It is said that at the beginning, the empire was not called the empire, but had a simple name - the settlement of survivors in Qingshan. And the people who live here are not good men and women. They occasionally work as mercenaries, and they also do some predatory activities behind their backs.

It's just that several villages west of the Ganjiang River united to call themselves the Federation, voted for the president, and took the lead in building radio base stations to launch a propaganda campaign against nearby residents. Seeing this, the people from the Qingshan Survivors' Colony, who happened to be planning to clean up their crimes, immediately changed their names.

In line with the principle of not falling behind their old enemy, the Federation, they changed their name to the Empire.

With the slogan of rebuilding civilization, the Federation advocated openness and freedom, which attracted businessmen and some free citizens who passed by here, and gradually developed into a wealthy settlement. However, due to the large flow of people and the lax laws, corruption and crime have become breeding grounds here, and spread to every corner of the federation like a plague.

With a little work, everything can be bought here at a clearly marked price.

Whether it is the position of the president, or the head of a certain congressman.

On the other hand, the empire is just the opposite. The looters started out with bandits, so they followed the path of centralization from the very beginning.

Win over a group of predators, gather a few powerful mercenary regiments to "take shares", and finally recruited mutant tribes without hesitation. People with dirty hands and feet can become accomplices to share power, and honest people who keep their feet on the ground work hard in the fields. The clear social division of labor simply and crudely builds the framework of the pyramid of power.

As for who will be the emperor, there must be no hereditary system, otherwise the bosses of the raiders and mercenary groups will definitely not be satisfied. So who will do it?

The first leader was a wise man, and they dug out the ancient stuff of the "Zen system" from the dust of history.

It's good for everyone to take turns to be the emperor, anyone can live the addiction of the emperor.

Federation and Empire.

It's hard to say who is dirtier and who is more civilized.

After all, this is wasteland, and it is a garbage heap...

"This is the history of the empire and the federation." While introducing to the man beside him, the mercenary with a PK2000 rifle on his back led Zhao Dongbao into the city gate.

Zhao Dongbao, a survivor of the former Qingpu area, joined the Fishbone Base after the establishment of the Stalker Corps. A long time ago, he worked with Jiang Chen and others to eliminate the source of infection. But he is not as good as his fellow Ma Zhongcheng, that guy has already become the leader of the Stalker Corps, and he is just the leader of the scouting team now.

But it's not his fault, who made him on the wrong team in the first place? The first survivor community that Jiang Chen visited was his place, but what did he do? Not only did they reject the proposal to send troops together, but they also brought out the recoilless guns, threatening Jiang Chen to leave quickly and not to trouble them...

However, Jiang Chen did not pursue his responsibility afterwards.

Although he was pointed at by a gun, Zhao Dongbao did his best. Without these survivors from Qingpu, the source of the X2 bacterial infection could not be solved with just a few power armors at the Fishbone Base.

If he can make meritorious service in this mission, maybe he still has a chance to be promoted. So he took the initiative to apply to go to Hongcheng, and took the reconnaissance team on the supply airship.

Entered the city gate and stood at the gate of the gymnasium.

The mercenary gestured to him with his eyes, and the guard with an earthen rifle also looked at him.

Zhao Dongbao came back to his senses, and immediately smiled and took out 4 sub-crystals the size of rice grains from his pocket, stuffed them into the guard's hands, and then pointed to the mercenary next to him.

"Together."

Without saying anything, the guard threw the sub-crystal onto the detector, and the number stopped at 4.

Looking at the beating numbers on the sub-crystal detector, Zhao Dongbao couldn't help showing nostalgia on his face.

The Sixth Street District has not used this thing for a long time, and even the entire Suzhou and Hangzhou provinces have not seen any traces of this thing. People are buying things with NAC credits, sub-crystals have become pure commodities.

Therefore, many soldiers are unwilling to be sent here. Compared with the "developed" Wanghai City, this place is like a remote mountainous area.

Still without any words, the guard shook the muzzle of his gun expressionlessly, and then turned his gaze to the survivors behind the two.

The mercenary standing next to him immediately rolled off Zhao Dongbao's sleeve, indicating that he could pass.

"Don't you need to hand in your weapons when you enter the city?"

"No, it's only used when entering the palace." The mercenary said.

"Imperial Palace?" Zhao Dongbao was stunned.

"There." After stepping out of the end of the corridor, the mercenary pointed to the highest point of the stadium stands.

Stepping into the open-air stadium, the scenery suddenly opened up.

There is no green shade on the wide playground, replaced by markets, houses, and even orchards. Surrounded by "natural" walls, it guards the place like a city wall. On the high stands, the flag of the empire was flying.

Here is the imperial capital.

It is worth noting that the gymnasium in the 22nd century is much larger than that in the 21st century. It is hard to describe how big it is, but it is still the size of a golf course.

Counting the underground area, the stadium can accommodate a full 50,000 people.

This is the center of the empire.

"Thank you, buddy. If there is anything you don't understand, you can come to the tavern to find me. I will stay there until I receive a new employment mission." He waved his hand and disappeared into the mercenary team. street.

According to the agreement, Zhao Dongbao paid the city gate tax of 2 points for him, and he brought Zhao Dongbao here, and gave him a vivid "history lesson" on the way.

It was a good deal for Zhao Dongbao to buy such valuable information for only 2 subcrystals.

Although the mission funds are sufficient, it is better to use the money in key places.

He took out a note from his pocket, finally confirmed the task Jiang Chen had given him, and walked towards the hotel. He now needs to find a place to stay, sort out the information he has collected, and then use the radio to feed it back to the military outpost. (To be continued.)
