Chapter 746 Qingshui Nuclear Power Plant
? Leaning against the side wall of the elevator, Jiang Chen quietly waited for the descent to the bottom. ≯≥
The backup power system is still in operation, and this elevator is probably the only power facility in the entire resort that is still in operation. The "black shadow" he met in the basement before still lingers in his mind.
He did not ask Lin Ling to go up the mountain, but chose to enter the nuclear power plant alone to explore the bottom. That black shadow's attack was almost impossible to defend against. Even the life detection device couldn't find its trace. Jiang Chen really didn't have the confidence to take care of a person who had no combat power while protecting himself.
Since it can be injured by laser bombs, it can already be ruled out that it is something like a ghost. But at the end of the day, Jiang Chen still doesn't believe that ghosts and ghosts exist in this world. However, he still couldn't figure out what it was.
"Ding--"
His thoughts were interrupted by the bell of the elevator, Jiang Chen stood still and raised the rifle in his hand.
The elevator slowly opened.
However, to his surprise, this nuclear power plant is not alone.
"This is Qingshui Nuclear Power Plant, put down your weapons, man."
After the elevator opened, six riflemen stood at the door, pointing their black muzzles straight at them. Jiang Chen reacted immediately and aimed the rifle in his hand. Although one gun looked very thin against six guns, there were ten hummingbird drones behind him.
"Give me a reason to put down the weapon." Jiang Chen said with a smile, not intending to put down the weapon at all.
The underground signal is very poor, and the drone terminals deployed on the surface cannot get in touch with the drones underground. However, there is still something called a drone backpack in this world, which can be used as a temporary terminal for drones.
Looking at the ten buzzing drones, Zhao Tianyu's scalp felt numb as he stood opposite Jiang Chen. Not to mention how many bullets the mechanical exoskeleton can withstand, just the few drones next to this man made him wonder how to deal with it.
"Okay...you can carry a weapon, but if you're not here to cause trouble, please explain why."
After weighing the pros and cons, Zhao Tianyu made a compromise. After all, to be able to come here alive, he must not be someone who is waiting for nothing.
Jiang Chen's gaze stayed on the rifles in their hands for a moment.
All pk2ooo,
Although it looks very old. This kind of pac-style automatic rifle is often found in shelters or pre-war military facilities. Jiang Chen immediately understood the identities of these people. It seems that the facts are not what the mole said. People are not completely dead.
At least, the six people standing in front of him are not dead.
"I'm a mercenary hired by the director of Vault 79 to investigate your...cause of death. I just didn't expect that you are still alive." In order to gain their trust, Jiang Chen lied .
Those six people looked at each other, and wry smiles appeared on their faces.
"Are they still alive? There are only about twenty of them alive."
Zhao Tianyu lowered the rifle in his hand, and the five subordinates standing beside him did the same. Now that they were confirmed to be their own people, there was no need to point guns at each other. Jiang Chen also put away his rifles, but he didn't put away the drones that followed him.
"So... can I come in?" Jiang Chen pointed to the outside of the elevator.
"Of course, let's chat at our residence. Please come with me." Zhao Tianyu made a gesture of invitation.
Behind the elevator is a hall with the words Qingshui Nuclear Power Station written on it. Passing through the hall, he came to an arched door. Zhao Tianyu pressed his fingerprints and opened the nuclear power plant buried hundreds of meters below.
After actually stepping inside the Qingshui Nuclear Power Plant, Jiang Chen found out in surprise.
This is not a nuclear power plant, it is simply a small shelter!
Large and small tents are located in the empty room, and further back you can see the workers' dormitory where people live. Although this Qingshui nuclear power plant is designed to operate for at least 50 years without maintenance, it still has a living space for 500 people.
Although there are more than 500 people crowded here now, it is roughly estimated that there are thousands of people.
"These are the aborigines of the nuclear power plant...it shouldn't be a problem to call them that." Zhao Tianyu led Jiang Chen forward while introducing him to the situation here.
From Zhao Tianyu's words, Jiang Chen immediately understood why he didn't see any remains in the resort, and the luxury cars in the garage showed no sign of leaving. It turned out that when the doomsday nuclear war broke out, those people did not flee to the shelter several kilometers away, but directly hid in the nearby nuclear power plant.
It seems that when the nuclear war broke out, some people realized that they did not keep the secret of the war reserve to the end, but took a large group of desperate survivors into hiding.
"It turned out that these workers' dormitories were occupied by mud crabs. After we came, they emptied the place."
"After staying underground for a long time, no matter how optimistic people are, they will become depressed. These underground people are not easy to get along with, but they also need us to maintain order, and they will share some extra food with us."
"Food? Where do you get food from?" Jiang Chen was confused.
"Growing mushrooms, algae, and kelp, the environment here is very suitable for raising these things." Zhao Tianyu grinned, "There is a pipeline connected to the sea in the deuterium refinery of the nuclear power plant, which can not only get seaweed , and occasionally get a few small fish."
Growing mushrooms in a nuclear power plant is really special.
However, Jiang Chen didn't complain about their food, and kept silent along the way, so as to avoid showing his feet by talking less.
At the end of the worker's dormitory, two guards guarded the entrance at the corner. Judging from this posture, this should be the station of the No. 79 Exploration Team. After walking into the so-called command room, Zhao Tianyu moved a chair for Jiang Chen.
"Sit whatever you want."
Jiang Chen sat on the chair and leaned the rifle to the side.
Zhao Tianyu sat across from him, crossed his fingers on the table, looked at Jiang Chen seriously and asked.
"Is the fog demon still there?"
"If you mean the black shadow with the axe, I think he's still there," Jiang Chen said.
A bitter smile appeared on Zhao Tianyu's face.
"As expected...can you tell me how you escaped from its pursuit?"
"He attacked from behind and I spotted it and turned around and wounded him."
Although what Jiang Chen said was so light and simple, Zhao Tianyu still felt the danger depicted in his words.
"Good guy, I can't see that you still have a lot of talent. We had 117 brothers at the time, but only about 20 of them ran here alive. If I guessed correctly, those brothers who ran down the mountain must have died."
"Why are you so sure?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
"It's easy to guess. If they returned to Town No. 79 alive, the director would not have sent someone to collect the bodies for us after so many years." Zhao Tianyu teased, "Now? What are your plans?"
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Chen spoke.
"Take you back, and take these people with you by the way."
There are people in the nuclear power plant who are not convenient for him to transfer those nuclear fusion power units and nuclear fuel, and these people who rely on nuclear energy to survive will definitely not allow him to move those motors. But if they can be taken out from here, I believe they will be happy to give this nuclear power plant their hands.
"I can't get out." Zhao Tianyu shook his head, "There is a fog demon guarding outside, and no matter how many people go there, they will die. The dense fog is his domain, and in his domain, we"
"Then what is the so-called fog demon?" Jiang Chen frowned.
Hearing Jiang Chen ask this question, Zhao Tianyu couldn't help but sigh.
"It is said that he used to be a person in this Qingshui nuclear power plant."
After a pause, he continued.
"And the one who opened the door and put these poor souls in the plant..." (To be continued.) 8
