Chapter 742 Mole Office
Unfortunately, it rained heavily in Taipei on the 25th day. ``
The heavy rain washed the sand and dirt into a foul mud, and several engineering robots broke down as the rain poured into the foundation that was not yet filled. Because the construction conditions were too crude, the progress of the project was extremely difficult, and even came to a standstill...
"If this rain continues, we will have to fight hand-to-hand with mud crabs on the beach." Standing on the observation tower of the expeditionary fortress, looking at the construction site on Despair Beach, Li Wang frowned.
But no one expected that the rain would be so heavy.
When Hongcheng wiped out the Waterworks Gang, Jiang Chen had some impressions of those tough mud crabs. The carapace that can't be pierced by bullets, the pliers that can crush steel, and the delicious crab roe...
But according to what Chen Guangning said, mud crabs can be divided into river crabs and sea crabs. The mud crabs that live in marine environments have darker carapaces, larger bodies, and more ferocious habits. Any creature smaller than it will become its prey.
Without the protection of the walls, it is unrealistic to fight these monsters in the wilderness.
The heavy rain delayed the progress of the project, and Jiang Chen had no better way to do it. If there is no chance of winning, he has no choice but to order the evacuation and wait until the summer solstice to transfer the space elevator. Letting his subordinates die for an impossible task, Jiang Chen could never do such a thing.
After taking a deep breath, Jiang Chen spoke.
"If 80% of the project cannot be completed on March 1, then we will withdraw our people from the front line, retreat to the fortress, and evacuate in batches."
"What about those survivors?" Li Wang asked.
"You don't need to ask me about this kind of thing."
Jiang Chen glanced at him, turned and left the watchtower.
How the fate of these survivors would have been apparent had the expeditionary force withdrew.
However, even if those survivors who failed to hide in time died tragically because of this, he would still make such a choice.
After all, he is more responsible for the lives of his own people than the lives of these strangers.
...
The rain pattered down on the concrete road, and the sky over Taipei was shrouded in a thick haze. The fear brought about by the calamity moon haunts the hearts of every Yizhou survivor,
Haunted like a ghost.
Enter the city along the north, cross two streets and a station, and you can see a settlement that looks like a shack. The town does not have a name, but it is named Town 79 because of the number of the shelter. People built houses with picked up bricks and billboards, and lived in crowded places, trying to absorb the poor warmth from the end times.
However, this warmth is so pale when the danger is approaching.
Those who saved enough crystals had already hid in the refuge early, while those without crystals could only look at the numb guards with pleading eyes. Some people will survive, while others can only fend for themselves in the disaster. Even an isolated island can hardly escape this axiom that applies everywhere in the last days.
The guard standing guard at the gate was leaning against the rain-shielding shed, leaning on a dirty assault rifle, wandering his eyes a little irritably.
For the passers-by, they just glanced at them hastily, and didn't bother to question them carefully. The island lacks resources and the economy is relatively closed. There are almost no predators forming settlements on Yizhou Island. There are only some survivors who can't survive, and occasionally part-time bandit activities.
Inheriting the arsenal of No. 79 Vault, there are 500 heavily armed soldiers stationed in No. 79 Township, which can be regarded as the largest survivor force in Taipei. Generally, it is impossible for unscrupulous bandits to come here to find themselves uncomfortable.
In the heavy rain, a group of people in raincoats walked towards the town. The hoods of the raincoats completely covered the faces of these three people, which looked suspicious no matter how they looked. However, the guard just looked at the three of them one more time, and then looked away.
After successfully passing through the gate of the town, Lin Ling shrank her cuffs into the raincoat, whispering softly.
"Can't these sloppy guys clean up their house?"
"No matter how beautiful it is, it's useless. After the calamity month is over, the only thing that is intact here will be the eggs of mud crabs." Chen Guangning gave full play to his role as a guide at the moment, and told Lin Ling and Jiang Chen Introduced.
Scavengers are very sensitive to the smell of humans, and whenever the calamity moon falls, the mud crabs will spontaneously approach the human settlements.
Jiang Chen took a look at the surrounding buildings, but did not comment too much on the living habits of these survivors. From the perspective of scale, this small town should be able to accommodate five or six thousand people. However, at this moment, there were no figures to be seen on the crooked streets. As Chen Guangning said, by this time, most people had fled into shelters or outside the town.
This time he came to town No. 79 to inquire about the whereabouts of the nuclear power plant, and by the way, take a look at what this town built on Yizhou Island looks like. Li Wang was very opposed to him acting alone at first, but Jiang Chen insisted on doing so.
There are too many people following him, it is inconvenient for him to carry the nuclear device to the present world.
As for whether Chen Guangning is reliable, there is no need to worry about it.
Whether people can lie or not, enslavement chips can't lie.
The three of them turned through two alleys and came to the door of a bar. Chen Guangning walked to a broken door covered with moss, stretched out his hand and knocked lightly three times. Not long after, the door opened.
Under the shadows, an expressionless face appeared behind the door. It was a popular face that could not be found in the crowd. If there was anything about this face that left a deep impression on people, it was probably his pair of sharp eyes.
He was obviously surprised to see Chen Guangning.
"Old Chen?" His eyes stayed on Chen Guangning for a moment, and then fell on the two people behind him. The man grinned, "Have you brought guests?"
It was uncomfortable to be looked at by this gaze, and the timid Lin Ling shrank back to Jiang Chen's side. Jiang Chen gently squeezed her hand, signaling her not to be nervous.
"That's right, I'll take care of your business during the first 5 days of the month of calamity, do you think I'll give you a discount?" Chen Guangning spread his hands and said.
"You know, it's always a fixed price for me to do business." Then, the man turned around and walked into the dark house, "Welcome to my office, as long as the price is right, there is no Something I can't do. Credibility guaranteed."
Stepping into the door, Jiang Chen looked at the layout of the house. The first feeling was that it was cold and damp, and the second feeling was that this damn cat could really live in people?
"Sit whatever you want, no tea is provided here." The man grinned, staring straight at Jiang Chen.
Intuition told him that this was his employer.
Without taking off his raincoat, Jiang Chen casually sat on the old sofa and asked casually.
"What's the name?"
"You can call me Mole," said Mole with a smile.
Judging from his expression, he didn't really care that Jiang Chen wet his sofa.
"I need you to help me find a place, can you do it?"
"It's easy, if you can afford it."
Can you afford the price?
Jiang Chen chuckled, it had been a long time since anyone asked him such an interesting question.
Without asking the specific price, he paused and said directly.
"Qingshui Nuclear Power Plant, I want you to help me find its specific location and the password to obtain administrator privileges. How about it, can it be done?"
