As an employee of "Pangu Biology", Jiang Baimian is no stranger to such things as nuclear warheads. He knows that several major forces have them, legacy from the old world, and they themselves seem to have mastered the corresponding maintenance technology.
However, for so many years, except for the chaotic era, there seems to be a record of using nuclear bombs. After entering the new calendar, this kind of weapons of mass destruction in the true sense made by humans in the old world has never appeared again, and only exists in deterrence. stage.
The intelligence personnel of "Panga" once suspected that as the years passed, those nuclear warheads left over from the old world gradually became ineffective and could no longer be used, and whether it was the "First City" or the "Salvation Army", there was a lack of new manufacturing capacity.
Now, suddenly hearing the term nuclear warhead, and it appeared in the current city, Jiang Baimian is inevitably a little dazed.
"Nuclear warhead?" Long Yuehong was also startled.
In his impression, this is a weapon that can destroy the world, and many cities in the old world are in ruins because of them.
In all the rumors of the destruction of the old world, this is the source of nightmares alongside "innocent disease".
Once someone detonates the nuclear warhead, the entire Wubei may be affected, and the "old-tone team" in this city is likely to be unable to survive alone.
Bai Chen also blurted out:
"How much?"
As far as she is accustomed, talking about bombs without talking about equivalents is hooliganism, except for those who are responsible for creating radiation or chemical pollution.
Shang Jianyao looked curious:
"Uranium, plutonium, or, uh, hydrogen isotopes?"
For a while, he forgot how to write that word and what its pronunciation was.
Ding Ling shook her head:
"I don't know much about it, I just heard such a rumor.
"I'm telling you mainly to remind you, lest you have any complaints about being stuck in a hotel and not being able to go out."
"I don't have any complaints now, I just want to run away." Shang Jianyao answered honestly.
Yeah yeah! Long Yuehong screamed wildly in her heart.
Now he just wants to leave Wubei and escape the power range of the nuclear warhead.
Ding Ling heard the words and said with relief:
"Don't believe those rumors in the wilderness, the power of nuclear warheads is not that great, and a single nuclear warhead cannot destroy a city, and the nuclear warheads that can be stolen must be miniaturized, and the yield is estimated to be a fraction of the original. "
But the current Wubei is also incomparable with the big cities in the old world. Whether there is a tenth of the size has to be a question mark... Jiang Baimian murmured in his heart, but did not say it.
Like the original city, Wubei was rebuilt on the ruins of a relatively well-preserved city, but the population here is quite different from the original city. Currently, only the part of the ruins close to the Moon Scale River is used.
Seeing that several members of the "Old Tune Group" were silent for a while, Ding Ling added:
"When I meet a member of our Wubei Material Coordination Committee today, if you are willing to accept stricter inspections, I can take you out of the city ahead of time.
"Don't worry, I have already reported on the military exoskeleton devices and bionic intelligent armor, and there is no problem."
Long Yuehong was about to say, "Okay, okay", when Shang Jianyao suddenly spoke uprightly:
"no!
"How can you escape? There are hundreds of thousands of humans here!"
Ding Ling was immediately speechless.
You say bad things and you say good things. What do you think
Jiang Baimian hurriedly cleared his throat:
"Your members of the Wubei Material Coordination Committee want to see us?"
"Yes." Seeing that the topic was back on track, Ding Ling breathed a sigh of relief, "He is in charge of the statistics and distribution of military supplies, and would like to know more about your experience in the ruins of Wasteland No. 13."
Uh, why did he see us? We will not contribute military supplies to him... Long Yuehong was a little surprised for a while.
Jiang Baimian, who knew a lot about the old world, understood what was going on.
"Military" and "statistics" together likely represent intelligence agencies.
Well, the name is often just a code name.
"No problem." Shang Jianyao answered Jiang Baimian in a polite tone of his own.
Jiang Bai gave him a blank look, took a breath and said:
"Let's go now?"
"Yeah." Ding Ling nodded, "You can't bring your military exoskeletons and bionic smart armors. Uh, it's better to leave two people here to watch, although our 'Salvation Army' is still in good order, the theft case Not much, but many of the people staying in this hotel are foreign relic hunters, and you should be very aware of their behavior."
Most relic hunters often work as robbers when they are in the wilderness, and become thieves when they enter larger settlements.
Jiang Baimian thought for a while, and said to Bai Chen, Long Yuehong, and Genova:
"You stay here to guard the supplies. Hey and I followed Captain Ding to see the committee member."
She actually had the intention to let the Awakened be alone in case of an accident, but she was worried that Shang Jianyao would go out to help find the lost nuclear warhead and save the residents of Wubei, but no one could hold him back.
Bai Chen and others immediately agreed.
…
Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao did not drive their own jeeps, but got on Ding Ling's green mountain bike.
This time, Ding Ling did not stop, but chose to detour and arrived at a quiet courtyard on the next street.
In the depths of this courtyard stands a three-story building, and the vertical plaque hanging at the door reads "Wubei Materials Coordination Committee" and other words.
After being checked by several soldiers on duty at the gate, and handing over their weapons, Ding Ling drove the green mountain bike in and parked in a corner of the courtyard.
Then, she led Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao to the west wing of the small building, and exchanged a few words with a young man in a black uniform of the "Salvation Army".
The young man turned around and disappeared at the corner of the corridor. He came back after a few minutes and said to Ding Ling:
"Commissioner Huang is in the reception room, you come with me."
After passing through three open or dark sentries along the way, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao followed Ding Ling and entered the reception room with the door hidden.
In the reception room, there is an old man in the main seat. He also wears the black uniform representing the "Salvation Army" soldiers, but he does not wear epaulettes.
Ding Ling respectfully pressed her left chest with her right hand and bowed:
"For all mankind!"
Shang Jianyao wanted to follow suit, but his right arm was quietly grabbed by Jiang Baimian's left hand, and he couldn't move.
Ding Ling immediately said:
"Commissioner Huang, Xue Yueyue and Zhang Qubing are here."
Commissioner Huang is not too tall, he should be less than 1.7 meters, but he is full of momentum.
His white hair was fairly neatly combed, and he stood up without any pretence. He responded to Ding Ling with the same etiquette, and then pointed to the sofa opposite him and said:
"sit down."
After Ding Ling motioned Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao to take their seats, she exited the reception room and closed the door.
Commissioner Huang sat down again, and the sharpness of his eyes did not diminish due to age.
He laughed and said:
"Don't be nervous, we all came from different places back then, what's the difference between locals and non-locals?"
After sweeping his eyes, he said:
"The older I am, the more impatient I am, so let's not talk too much, let's get straight to the point.
"How did you find out that there is a 'New World' node in that secret lab
"Don't talk about normal people, even the awakened ones, most of them don't notice it."
Jiang Baimian turned his head to the side and looked at Shang Jianyao.
This was indeed one of the few holes in her previous account of choice.
Shang Jianyao tacitly took off his tactical backpack and took out the ordinary looking silver angel pendant.
"We have such a prop." Jiang Baimian gave an explanation before him.
This is the real truth, but not the whole truth.
Commissioner Huang narrowed his eyes slightly, as if sensing the breath in the "Angel of Life" necklace.
"Do I need to take it for inspection?" Shang Jianyao asked kindly.
Commissioner Huang opened his eyes and glanced at him, and replied with a full-fledged:
"it is good."
He wasn't worried at all that it was a trap.
Shang Jianyao put his hands up and jumped towards Commissioner Huang with one foot.
one foot.
Commissioner Huang can be said to be well-informed, so he did not lose his color because of this. After a little pondering, he took the "Angel of Life" necklace and nodded:
"The price is paralysis of one of the limbs?"
Seeing that he really took the "Angel of Life" necklace for inspection, Jiang Baimian finally confirmed one thing:
This committee member should also be an Awakened, otherwise he won't be able to find anything with the props, and will only bear the price.
After a few seconds, Commissioner Huang returned the "Angel of Life" necklace to Shang Jianyao, who was still standing on one foot in front of him.
He nodded in satisfaction and said:
"You didn't lie, the aura of this item is indeed quite special, and it can help you sense the nodes of the 'new world'."
He didn't ask where the other party got this item from, the "Salvation Army" still has the stoicism.
However, he couldn't stand the "old tune group" with an inner ghost. Shang Jianyao, who turned his back on Jiang Baimian, found an opportunity and took the initiative to confess:
"We got this from a special commissioner of the Eighth Research Institute."
Commissioner Huang raised his eyebrows and said:
"The special commissioner of the Eighth Research Institute?"
There was a bit of surprise in his tone.
