The representatives sent by the company were Yun You and Su Ming, the representatives of the legion were the commander of the thousand-time lord Wali and Pangolin, and the representatives of the college were Jiang Xuezhou, a student of the B-level researcher who had never shown his face.
As for the representatives of the league, they are Ye Shi and an NPC of the scientific research team.
The latter's name is Meng Liang, a former resident of the No. 401 refuge, after being rescued by the Alliance from the robbers, he joined a scientific research team aimed at recycling pre-war civilization ruins. Under the guidance of Yin Fang, he learned archaeological related knowledge and is currently serving as an army explorer on the airship.
The exploration of shelter No. 0 is mainly based on scientific investigation.
The investigation of the remains cannot be fully expected to be a company, and even an allies are not obliged to disclose all the information investigated to the alliance.
Chu Guang was very cautious in selecting personnel. In addition to an NPC expert with relevant professional knowledge, he also needed a reliable player to bring the news from the shelter outside in the most extreme situations.
The information-sharing "Wasteland OL" forum is his biggest trump card except for the players who are immortal.
After confirming the safety of the passage, the delegation began to move forward and soon arrived at the entrance of the shelter.
The elevator in Yihaikou is in the center of the B2nd floor of the building.
It is shaped like a funnel embedded in the ground, with four corridors leading to the central elevator...it looks like a circular theater without seats.
Due to the long-term disregard for people and the special climate of extremely unbalanced distribution of water resources in the desert, the walls are covered with mold and dry vines.
Ye Shi muttered as he searched every corner of the spacious room with a flashlight.
Did the crew of the Trail Blazer really escape here?
Meng Liang, who was walking next to him, said nervously.
In the information, yes...
This is his first time attending a mission.
And it was such an important action from the beginning.
Last night, he read the action log sent to him by the manager several times, especially the column of known information, and he almost memorized the punctuation.
But why are there no traces of battle?There is no bullet mark on the wall.Ye Shi's face still had a hint of confusion.
It's not because he is cautious by nature.
Instead, the manager did not hand over this important job to Lao Bai, who had the strongest combat power, but to him, who had the highest perception attributes.
Especially the discussion at the forum yesterday made him instinctively suspect that this task may not be as simple as he imagined.
Su Ming, who was walking on the other side, shrugged his shoulders and said with a grin.
Maybe there were no pursuers when they escaped here... Didn't the Wirants find the specific entrance to Sanctuary No. 0?
So that's it. Ye Shi nodded thoughtfully, but not long after, hissing... But I still felt something was wrong.
Where are the people from the Enlightenment Association?
Don’t those people know the entrance to Shelter No. 0?
Since Yi Hai knew that those people were trying to prevent the company from finding shelter No. 0, then before he freezes, both sides should have turned against each other.
Ye Shibai couldn't figure it out, and always felt that he had missed some important clues.
It’s a pity that Elder Fang is not here, so the stupid warrior probably dare not communicate with him.
reason?Jiang Xuezhou, who had not spoken, finally couldn't help but speak.
She doesn't really like to communicate with people outside the academy, especially since this person seems to have fought with the squad she was in before.
However, this guy kept muttering, making her nervous since she entered the building... They obviously haven't even touched a mutant hyena until now.
However, Ye Shi didn't think so much, and he didn't even feel the impatient in that sentence at all. Instead, he thought the beauty was interested in him, so he made a smile that he thought was mysterious and charming.
intuition.
intuition……
Jiang Xuezhou's mouth twitched, his expression a little unrestrained.
What's that?
But Su Ming understood it very well and patted Ye Shi's shoulder with a smile.
Brother, I understand that feeling. Sometimes nothing happened, but I just felt something was wrong... My captain said I was about to wake up, and I hope it would be true. I am not married yet.Anyway, be alert, I also think this place is a bit weird.
The warfielder wanted to come over and ask what this guy felt. After all, the T0 strongest person with the highest perception system in the entire server is not a prank.
But there was a commander staring next to him, and he could only think about it in his heart.
Looking at Wali with a confident smile, the warrior thought about at least asking for some information, so he lowered his voice and asked.
Sir, do we have any plans?
Vari said simply.
No.
……No?The warrior thought he had heard it wrong and was stunned.
Wali laughed out loud and said with disdain.
Only the weak guys will believe that they will rely on a shelter to solve all problems.Our Marshal never puts his hope on such illusory rumors.
The warrior was amused and crying.
Then why do we come here...
Although Lord Cohen doesn't think there might be something that can end the wasteland, it is a ruin left over from the Era of Prosperity... God knows what will be placed inside, what if it is a weapon?Wali glanced at the representatives of the enterprises and colleges and said lightly, "In short, if the enterprises and colleges are interested, we can't leave it alone."
Warrior: …
It makes sense to bring it to the Willant perspective.
So much so that he didn't know how to refute it for a moment.
The group soon arrived in front of the elevator.
Yunyou reached out and touched the elevator door and turned her eyes to the two representatives of the alliance.
The access control card is in your hands.
Here I am.
Meng Liang immediately responded, walked forward, took out the card given to him by the administrator, and attached it to the outer shell of the card reader.
A light blue light appeared in front of the door, sweeping through the people in front of the door, then the floor trembled slightly, and the door slowly moved to both sides.
The elevator space is indeed not large.
It was so surprising that the entrance to Sanctuary No. 0 was so narrow.
Or are there actually other entrances here?
Unbelievable... Ye Shi murmured in a low voice, it has been two centuries, and these facilities are still in operation.
And it is not maintained by anyone.
It turned out to be an unactivated access card.Looking at the closing scanning light, Yunyou frowned.
What's the meaning.Meng Liang asked nervously.
It means... After activation once, our information is written to the security system and the code binding of the access control card. Whether or not the card can use this elevator.For others, unless we rewrote the security system here, or give them an unactivated access card, others will not be able to enter...at least they cannot use this card to enter.
After a pause, she continued.
This can effectively prevent unauthorized personnel from getting into shelters... However, this system usually appears in unfinished shelters, unless the special requirements of the shelter managers are rarely seen in mature shelters that have been assigned to the managers.
Ye Shi muttered.
In other words, can’t you hold the card and shake people down?
Yunyou glanced at him and didn't understand what this junior said.
Meng Liang, who was standing aside, was shocked by another message in this sentence, and looked at her in surprise and said.
You mean…this refuge is not completed?
Yunyou shrugged.
Who knows, I didn’t build this refuge. I just happened to have worked in the relevant departments and heard some rumors.
Before Meng Liang could digest the huge amount of information in this sentence, she glanced at the elevator door, said nothing, and walked straight in.
Seeing this, Su Ming, who was standing by, immediately followed.
After retracting the useless access card in his hand, Meng Liang looked at Ye Shi and said nervously.
Let's go, too.
Well, let's go.
Ye Shi nodded, and finally glanced at the spacious room behind him, and stepped over the open elevator door.
And the moment he stepped across the door, a familiar stale smell penetrated into his nose, making him feel alert.
The omen that hovered in his heart seemed to be getting stronger and stronger...
……
In the camp.
Although the planned fence and barracks have been completed, the five construction vehicles parked in the center of the camp are still rumbling there.
Except for the players sent to perform missions near the Industrial Building, other players were not idle. They scattered around to find some scraps and returned. They used the drawings stored on the construction vehicle to re-smel and processed the scraps into various parts.
Due to the strong demand for orders, there were even long queues in front of these engineering vehicles.
Several young players around were waiting with bundled scrap metal waiting enthusiastically, for fear that the feed of these machines would be empty.
An employee of a company happened to pass by and saw a lot of people surrounding the construction vehicle, so he approached and looked at it, and asked curiously.
Isn’t the campsite already built?What are you doing?
Seeing NPC talking to me, I was carrying a large bundle of steel and smiled the darkest, saying in a couplet of unstandard people.
It turned out that the well was too small, and there was a groundwater reservoir below. We planned to dig a deeper well.
The boy on the construction site carrying sacks on the side echoed the bricks.
That's right!This time we lengthened the threaded tube in the drawing!
The company's employees were stunned for a moment. Before they could come back to their senses, the other players next to them started chattering in languages that he couldn't understand.
Speaking of which, the groundwater reservoirs here are quite rich.
That's necessary, why camp here?
By the way, what's the point of just digging wells? I suggest building a greenhouse and growing some vegetables.
This is a good idea!
!!!I brought the seeds!
Players were talking in a serene manner, and there were a few more drawings in the production queue, and the materials needed also increased a lot.
Including polyethylene materials used to make greenhouses, including the cultivation tanks for growing vegetables and aluminum alloys for water pipes, etc.
The greenhouse has been arranged, and the sources of carbohydrates and vitamins are available, and animal protein and fat cannot be left behind.
Only a balanced diet can ensure combat effectiveness.
Raising cattle and sheep is not realistic, after all, there is not so much grass here.
But there are always more ways than problems.
Soon I thought the darkest, the brothers of the Burning Corps had made some white and fat worms in the Mutant Tribe.
It’s a bit disgusting to eat that thing directly. No one can accept it except Lao Na, but it should be fine to make it into a nutritional cream.
Anyway, they are not here to stay, and the disaster is also those Cute new who are confused and come here to clear the land...
As for NPC.
Apart from their managers, they don’t seem to be very picky about food.
Not far away, several Willant officers looked at the busy alliance members and couldn't help but mutter.
What are these guys trying to do?
have no idea……
Isn’t this a temporary camp?What do they do to build so many sheds?
Can't they still plan to stay...
Thinking of this, several Willant officers suddenly became alert.
The Alliance actually put its feet behind their servant country's butt.
This is not a good sign...
In fact, it is not only the employees of the company and the Willant officers who are confused, but even the players themselves don’t know what they are going to do.
The fun of sandbox games lies in experiencing this process, but no one cares too much about the purpose and result.
Managers told them that the alliance intends to retain it as the alliance's outpost in the Great Desert, and they can DIY the buildings here according to their preferences, and those five engineering vehicles can meet their needs to turn their creativity into reality as much as possible before they are reclaimed.
So, interested players came to queue up happily with a bunch of building materials.
There are not many tasks on the new map, and they are idle anyway. Many players have taken the task of expanding the camp. Although the reward is not high, it is quite interesting.
Chu Guang did not explain what they had to build this outpost, and gave it to them to perform.
As it turns out, these little players are even better than he imagined, thinking about him carefully from drinking water to stable food sources, to hygiene and safety.
There are even detailed plans for the placement of various facilities... These do not make them imagine it out of thin air, but also refer to the layout of overseas military bases or construction sites in reality, and considering the situation of leaving the supply line, the planned camps have a certain degree of self-sufficiency.
Looking at the young players who were busy, Chu Guang nodded with satisfaction.
good!
If this is outsourced to the company's construction team, it will cost at least several million Cr. Even its own construction team will inevitably have a budget of several million silver coins.
But if you leave it to these little players, you can do it if you don’t even need 100,000 silver coins.Manpower is almost free, materials can be obtained locally, and creativity is copied and discussed online.
But anyway, the outpost is repaired and it is for them to use, so it cannot be considered as a profit for themselves.
Retracting his gaze from the little players, Chu Guang walked to the corner of the camp to place the rooms of the rescued survivors.
After the treatment of those twelve treatment compartments, most of the survivors' wounds were healed.
Some mechanical prosthetics that only have basic functions are not very expensive, otherwise even scavengers would not be able to afford it.
It just so happened that the ordnance seized from the Willant people before had some simple prosthetic bodies, so Chu Guang asked the doctors of the company to replace them.
By the way, because there were reporters from the airship, Wu Changnian expressed his willingness to bear part of the cost of rescuing the survivors for the sake of show.
Chu Guang was not polite, so he casually reported 100,000 Cr to him. When he heard that it was so cheap, Wu Changnian didn't frown at the sticky note.
Afterwards, Chu Guang asked the logistics officer to calculate and found that the combined value of the mechanical prosthesis may be less than 100,000 chips...
Chu Guang is also a group of embarrassing people. He still has a bottom line. He has never thought about using those who can make money, let alone caring about that 100,000 Cr.
But it is not appropriate to tell the company that it is too much. After all, Minister Wu's coward has been pretended, so he can only let his logistics officer put this secret in his stomach.
The barracks door was pushed open.
Looking at the light passing through the door and the sound of footsteps coming in together, the women lying on the hospital beds subconsciously shrank back.
Only when everyone sees that they are not mutants can they feel relieved.
Those lying in the ward were all survivors who had just had prosthetic surgery, and there were about twenty people.
Although he was unwilling to remind them of bad memories, Chu Guang tried to ask in a gentle tone in order to collect information about the torch badge.
Where are you from?
Everyone in the room looked at each other without saying a word.
The air was a little silent for a moment.
Just as Chu Guang was hesitating whether to find a more gentle female player to come to communicate, a woman in her early twenties suddenly raised her hand tremblingly and said in a hoarse voice.
My name is Rama…I came from the Bharat Province.
Bharat Province?
The birthplace of the two-headed cows?
It is said to be southwest of the Camel Kingdom.
That's really far...
Chu Guang continued in a gentle tone.
Let me know how you got here?
Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of something, paused for a moment and added.
Of course, if we don’t want to recall that unpleasant memory, we won’t force you.
Rama shook her head.
It's OK...I'm very grateful for you guys for saving us from hell.
As she said that, she paused and continued.
I was born in a small village. That day, a group of merchants came to the village. They said they wanted to buy two-headed cows and transport them to Yinyue Bay in the northeast.They were generous and the price they gave was quite good. The people in the village were very polite to them. The village chief even took out good wine to treat them... I drank a little at that time, and when I woke up, I was in the cage.
Chu Guang was silent for a while.
Slave dealer?
…It should be.Rama's eyes were filled with fear, but she still said it bravely. The people also said... it was my family who sold me to them, but I didn't believe them, it must be them who got everyone drunk.
Chu Guang expressed sympathy for her experience, but that part was not what he cared about the most.
He continued to ask with a frown.
...Does those slave traders trade with mutants?
To Chu Guang's surprise, the girl named Rama shook her head, and the frightened flickering in her eyes became even stronger.
They…sold us to another group of people, who took me through the desert and brought me here.
Chu Guang clenched his fists and said in a deep voice.
who are they?
I have no idea……
The girl hugged her head, and her fingers that penetrated her hair trembled slightly, as if she was just recalling what happened at that time, which made her feel extremely frightened.
Chu Guang changed his question and said patiently.
Do those people have... what characteristics?For example, appearance, clothing, or some uniform accessories you carry...
The dispersed pupils suddenly began to focus. Rama seemed to remember something, let go of her hands holding her head, and suddenly raised her head.
Those people... all seemed to be wearing blue jackets.
Blue jacket?
True or fake...
Hearing this shocking clue, a hint of surprise appeared on Chu Guang's face.
As far as he saw and heard in Qingquan City, the little white rabbits who came out of the shelter were burning incense without being stolen.
The reason why he was so kind to Xiaoyu and her family was largely because they did not harm themselves... This was already very difficult in the wasteland.
However, the girl named Rama was not the only one. Many survivors in the ward also nodded silently, indicating that they had had similar or similar experiences.
Chu Guang's expression gradually subsided, he took out a small notebook from his pocket and recorded the clues that Rama said orally.
Most refuge residents are ignorant of the world after returning to the surface, and are often slaughtered by wasteland tourists who are far weaker than them because of their self-esteem, kindness, weakness, and guilt in abandoning their compatriots in the past, or their sense of superiority.
For example, this is the case with Shelter No. 401.
The shelter that was taken over by the plunder can be said to be the Dianzhong Dian. All the staff became coolies who rub pills, and even the black box in their hands was almost unable to save.
Of course, there are also a few shelters that have developed into powerful regional forces. For example, some of the ancestors of enterprises are residents of Shelter No. 6.
Although the 101 refuge did not develop into a strong regional power, under the guidance of Dr. Method, it still affected some survivors with limited influence.
The 79th refuge is not a little white rabbit. Those guys were purely killed by themselves, but except for the crazy Yong family, the others did not harm the survivors on the surface.
As for the Enlightenment...
Probably the other extreme in the group of Blue Jackets.
Chu Guang didn't know what they had encountered in the past.
So much so that they completely let go of the pride and reserve of civilized people and actually went to trade with mutants and slave traders.
In any case, they have crossed the line.
Some people started, and other survivors soon confessed their origins and how they were sold to the hands of these mutants.
Most of them came from Luoxia Province, especially the Falcon Kingdom and the Honey Badger Kingdom where wars broke out, but some people came from Jinchuan or river valleys. Although there was no war in those places, the chaos was no less than the war zones in Luoxia Province.
Chu Guang made statistics on this one by one.
His kindness would not have spread to avenge the people he had known for a few days, but the enlightenment made up of shelter residents would have made him feel deeply uneasy.
Even if it is not moral.
For the sake of the alliance, he could not leave those guys hiding in the dark alone.
At least we have to figure out what the motives of those people are, where their hometown is, and how many kilometers away from the alliance...
...I am sorry for your experience, you may have encountered some unfriendly shelter residents, but I believe not all shelter residents are like this.
After a pause, Chu Guang continued.
We will help you some.
Rama nodded and said sincerely with her right hand clutched the edge of the bedding.
Thanks……
You're welcome, have a good rest... I've asked what I want to ask, and forget the unpleasantness of the past.
Chu Guang glanced at the notepad in his hand, closed it and stuffed it into his pocket.
However, just as he was about to return to the airship, he suddenly thought of something in his mind and turned around and walked to Yi Hai's barracks.
Something that happened suddenly made him care a little.
If you don't ask clearly.
He would care so much that he couldn't sleep...
……
Industrial Building underground.
The number of layers is unknown.
After the elevator door was opened, a gear-shaped metal door soon caught the eye of the investigation team.
In the middle of the giant metal gear, there is a rhombus with edges and angles printed on it.The middle of the diamond is hollowed out, and it is undoubtedly a digital body of the number 0.
The passage to the inside of the shelter is next to the giant door, and someone has obviously come here and opened it.
The crew of the Trail Blazers is right in front!
However, Su Ming felt a little uneasy in his heart, why are they all here but no one comes out to greet them...
...The No. 0 refuge actually exists.Shocked by completely different things, Yun You unconsciously stepped forward and took a step forward.
Su Ming also immediately stepped forward and followed her closely.
After staring at the gear-shaped giant door for a while, Ye Shi touched his chin and muttered in a couplet.
Strange...
So why is it strange?Jiang Xuezhou glanced at this man with a very broken mouth. He said too much along the way.
Ye Shi said embarrassedly.
I always feel... this Zero painting is a bit crooked. Is this really a refuge No. 0?
Jiang Xuezhou stared at the symbol for a while.
Sanctuary Zero is originally a shelter outside the number, and its symbol is like this... It basically matches the information collected by the Academy before.
OK... Maybe I'm overthinking it.
Ye Shi shrugged his shoulders, turned his eyes to the deep corridor, followed behind the company representatives, and continued to walk forward.
We went on, too.
Wali patted the pangolin's shoulder and followed with great strides.
The warrior noticed that there was a strong excitement and curiosity flashing in those eyes.
Although this guy said he didn't care what was inside the sanctuary No. 0, his body was unexpectedly honest...
The group walked through the corridor and soon arrived at the inside of the shelter.
However, what surprised everyone was that the structure here was not as complicated as they imagined, and it was even simpler to the point of being sloppy.
This place doesn't look like a shelter at all.
More like a laboratory.
Of course, this is not what surprised everyone even more.
But the dark red plaques crawling all over the cracks in the corners of the wall, and the ominous gray-green particles floating in the air...
Slime mold!
There are also slime molds here!?
As for the representatives of the league, they are Ye Shi and an NPC of the scientific research team.
The latter's name is Meng Liang, a former resident of the No. 401 refuge, after being rescued by the Alliance from the robbers, he joined a scientific research team aimed at recycling pre-war civilization ruins.

The information-sharing "Wasteland OL" forum is his biggest trump card except for the players who are immortal.
After confirming the safety of the passage, the delegation began to move forward and soon arrived at the entrance of the shelter.
The elevator in Yihaikou is in the center of the B2nd floor of the building.
It is shaped like a funnel embedded in the ground, with four corridors leading to the central elevator...it looks like a circular theater without seats.
Due to the long-term disregard for people and the special climate of extremely unbalanced distribution of water resources in the desert, the walls are covered with mold and dry vines.
Ye Shi muttered as he searched every corner of the spacious room with a flashlight.

Raising cattle and sheep is not realistic, after all, there is not so much grass here.
But there are always more ways than problems.
Soon I thought the darkest, the brothers of the Burning Corps had made some white and fat worms in the Mutant Tribe.
It’s a bit disgusting to eat that thing directly. No one can accept it except Lao Na, but it should be fine to make it into a nutritional cream.
Anyway, they are not here to stay, and the disaster is also those Cute new who are confused and come here to clear the land...
As for NPC.
Apart from their managers, they don’t seem to be very picky about food.
Not far away, several Willant officers looked at the busy alliance members and couldn't help but mutter.
What are these guys trying to do?
have no idea……
Isn’t this a temporary camp?What do they do to build so many sheds?
Can't they still plan to stay...
Thinking of this, several Willant officers suddenly became alert.
The Alliance actually put its feet behind their servant country's butt.
This is not a good sign...
In fact, it is not only the employees of the company and the Willant officers who are confused, but even the players themselves don’t know what they are going to do.
The fun of sandbox games lies in experiencing this process, but no one cares too much about the purpose and result.
Managers told them that the alliance intends to retain it as the alliance's outpost in the Great Desert, and they can DIY the buildings here according to their preferences, and those five engineering vehicles can meet their needs to turn their creativity into reality as much as possible before they are reclaimed.
So, interested players came to queue up happily with a bunch of building materials.
There are not many tasks on the new map, and they are idle anyway. Many players have taken the task of expanding the camp. Although the reward is not high, it is quite interesting.
Chu Guang did not explain what they had to build this outpost, and gave it to them to perform.
As it turns out, these little players are even better than he imagined, thinking about him carefully from drinking water to stable food sources, to hygiene and safety.
There are even detailed plans for the placement of various facilities... These do not make them imagine it out of thin air, but also refer to the layout of overseas military bases or construction sites in reality, and considering the situation of leaving the supply line, the planned camps have a certain degree of self-sufficiency.
Looking at the young players who were busy, Chu Guang nodded with satisfaction.
good!
If this is outsourced to the company's construction team, it will cost at least several million Cr. Even its own construction team will inevitably have a budget of several million silver coins.
But if you leave it to these little players, you can do it if you don’t even need 100,000 silver coins.Manpower is almost free, materials can be obtained locally, and creativity is copied and discussed online.
But anyway, the outpost is repaired and it is for them to use, so it cannot be considered as a profit for themselves.
Retracting his gaze from the little players, Chu Guang walked to the corner of the camp to place the rooms of the rescued survivors.
After the treatment of those twelve treatment compartments, most of the survivors' wounds were healed.
Some mechanical prosthetics that only have basic functions are not very expensive, otherwise even scavengers would not be able to afford it.
It just so happened that the ordnance seized from the Willant people before had some simple prosthetic bodies, so Chu Guang asked the doctors of the company to replace them.
By the way, because there were reporters from the airship, Wu Changnian expressed his willingness to bear part of the cost of rescuing the survivors for the sake of show.
Chu Guang was not polite, so he casually reported 100,000 Cr to him. When he heard that it was so cheap, Wu Changnian didn't frown at the sticky note.
Afterwards, Chu Guang asked the logistics officer to calculate and found that the combined value of the mechanical prosthesis may be less than 100,000 chips...
Chu Guang is also a group of embarrassing people. He still has a bottom line. He has never thought about using those who can make money, let alone caring about that 100,000 Cr.
But it is not appropriate to tell the company that it is too much. After all, Minister Wu's coward has been pretended, so he can only let his logistics officer put this secret in his stomach.
The barracks door was pushed open.
Looking at the light passing through the door and the sound of footsteps coming in together, the women lying on the hospital beds subconsciously shrank back.
Only when everyone sees that they are not mutants can they feel relieved.
Those lying in the ward were all survivors who had just had prosthetic surgery, and there were about twenty people.
Although he was unwilling to remind them of bad memories, Chu Guang tried to ask in a gentle tone in order to collect information about the torch badge.
Where are you from?
Everyone in the room looked at each other without saying a word.
The air was a little silent for a moment.
Just as Chu Guang was hesitating whether to find a more gentle female player to come to communicate, a woman in her early twenties suddenly raised her hand tremblingly and said in a hoarse voice.
My name is Rama…I came from the Bharat Province.
Bharat Province?
The birthplace of the two-headed cows?
It is said to be southwest of the Camel Kingdom.
That's really far...
Chu Guang continued in a gentle tone.
Let me know how you got here?
Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of something, paused for a moment and added.
Of course, if we don’t want to recall that unpleasant memory, we won’t force you.
Rama shook her head.
It's OK...I'm very grateful for you guys for saving us from hell.
As she said that, she paused and continued.
I was born in a small village. That day, a group of merchants came to the village. They said they wanted to buy two-headed cows and transport them to Yinyue Bay in the northeast.They were generous and the price they gave was quite good. The people in the village were very polite to them. The village chief even took out good wine to treat them... I drank a little at that time, and when I woke up, I was in the cage.
Chu Guang was silent for a while.
Slave dealer?
…It should be.Rama's eyes were filled with fear, but she still said it bravely. The people also said... it was my family who sold me to them, but I didn't believe them, it must be them who got everyone drunk.
Chu Guang expressed sympathy for her experience, but that part was not what he cared about the most.
He continued to ask with a frown.
...Does those slave traders trade with mutants?
To Chu Guang's surprise, the girl named Rama shook her head, and the frightened flickering in her eyes became even stronger.
They…sold us to another group of people, who took me through the desert and brought me here.
Chu Guang clenched his fists and said in a deep voice.
who are they?
I have no idea……
The girl hugged her head, and her fingers that penetrated her hair trembled slightly, as if she was just recalling what happened at that time, which made her feel extremely frightened.
Chu Guang changed his question and said patiently.
Do those people have... what characteristics?For example, appearance, clothing, or some uniform accessories you carry...
The dispersed pupils suddenly began to focus. Rama seemed to remember something, let go of her hands holding her head, and suddenly raised her head.
Those people... all seemed to be wearing blue jackets.
Blue jacket?
True or fake...
Hearing this shocking clue, a hint of surprise appeared on Chu Guang's face.
As far as he saw and heard in Qingquan City, the little white rabbits who came out of the shelter were burning incense without being stolen.
The reason why he was so kind to Xiaoyu and her family was largely because they did not harm themselves... This was already very difficult in the wasteland.
However, the girl named Rama was not the only one. Many survivors in the ward also nodded silently, indicating that they had had similar or similar experiences.
Chu Guang's expression gradually subsided, he took out a small notebook from his pocket and recorded the clues that Rama said orally.
Most refuge residents are ignorant of the world after returning to the surface, and are often slaughtered by wasteland tourists who are far weaker than them because of their self-esteem, kindness, weakness, and guilt in abandoning their compatriots in the past, or their sense of superiority.
For example, this is the case with Shelter No. 401.
The shelter that was taken over by the plunder can be said to be the Dianzhong Dian. All the staff became coolies who rub pills, and even the black box in their hands was almost unable to save.
Of course, there are also a few shelters that have developed into powerful regional forces. For example, some of the ancestors of enterprises are residents of Shelter No. 6.
Although the 101 refuge did not develop into a strong regional power, under the guidance of Dr. Method, it still affected some survivors with limited influence.
The 79th refuge is not a little white rabbit. Those guys were purely killed by themselves, but except for the crazy Yong family, the others did not harm the survivors on the surface.
As for the Enlightenment...
Probably the other extreme in the group of Blue Jackets.
Chu Guang didn't know what they had encountered in the past.
So much so that they completely let go of the pride and reserve of civilized people and actually went to trade with mutants and slave traders.
In any case, they have crossed the line.
Some people started, and other survivors soon confessed their origins and how they were sold to the hands of these mutants.
Most of them came from Luoxia Province, especially the Falcon Kingdom and the Honey Badger Kingdom where wars broke out, but some people came from Jinchuan or river valleys. Although there was no war in those places, the chaos was no less than the war zones in Luoxia Province.
Chu Guang made statistics on this one by one.
His kindness would not have spread to avenge the people he had known for a few days, but the enlightenment made up of shelter residents would have made him feel deeply uneasy.
Even if it is not moral.
For the sake of the alliance, he could not leave those guys hiding in the dark alone.
At least we have to figure out what the motives of those people are, where their hometown is, and how many kilometers away from the alliance...
...I am sorry for your experience, you may have encountered some unfriendly shelter residents, but I believe not all shelter residents are like this.
After a pause, Chu Guang continued.
We will help you some.
Rama nodded and said sincerely with her right hand clutched the edge of the bedding.
Thanks……
You're welcome, have a good rest... I've asked what I want to ask, and forget the unpleasantness of the past.
Chu Guang glanced at the notepad in his hand, closed it and stuffed it into his pocket.
However, just as he was about to return to the airship, he suddenly thought of something in his mind and turned around and walked to Yi Hai's barracks.
Something that happened suddenly made him care a little.
If you don't ask clearly.
He would care so much that he couldn't sleep...
……
Industrial Building underground.
The number of layers is unknown.
After the elevator door was opened, a gear-shaped metal door soon caught the eye of the investigation team.
In the middle of the giant metal gear, there is a rhombus with edges and angles printed on it.The middle of the diamond is hollowed out, and it is undoubtedly a digital body of the number 0.
The passage to the inside of the shelter is next to the giant door, and someone has obviously come here and opened it.
The crew of the Trail Blazers is right in front!
However, Su Ming felt a little uneasy in his heart, why are they all here but no one comes out to greet them...
...The No. 0 refuge actually exists.Shocked by completely different things, Yun You unconsciously stepped forward and took a step forward.
Su Ming also immediately stepped forward and followed her closely.
After staring at the gear-shaped giant door for a while, Ye Shi touched his chin and muttered in a couplet.
Strange...
So why is it strange?Jiang Xuezhou glanced at this man with a very broken mouth. He said too much along the way.
Ye Shi said embarrassedly.
I always feel... this Zero painting is a bit crooked. Is this really a refuge No. 0?
Jiang Xuezhou stared at the symbol for a while.
Sanctuary Zero is originally a shelter outside the number, and its symbol is like this... It basically matches the information collected by the Academy before.
OK... Maybe I'm overthinking it.
Ye Shi shrugged his shoulders, turned his eyes to the deep corridor, followed behind the company representatives, and continued to walk forward.
We went on, too.
Wali patted the pangolin's shoulder and followed with great strides.
The warrior noticed that there was a strong excitement and curiosity flashing in those eyes.
Although this guy said he didn't care what was inside the sanctuary No. 0, his body was unexpectedly honest...
The group walked through the corridor and soon arrived at the inside of the shelter.
However, what surprised everyone was that the structure here was not as complicated as they imagined, and it was even simpler to the point of being sloppy.
This place doesn't look like a shelter at all.
More like a laboratory.
Of course, this is not what surprised everyone even more.
But the dark red plaques crawling all over the cracks in the corners of the wall, and the ominous gray-green particles floating in the air...
Slime mold!
There are also slime molds here!?
