<=""></> Shelter No. 71 in Hongcheng is located in the wilderness south of Wuyang Town, close to the hills beside the Fuhe River. About 1000 meters.
Strictly speaking, the local geological environment is not suitable for building a deep shelter. But the approval of this shelter project was before 2150. At that time, the global situation was great, aerospace technology was developing rapidly, and people from all over the world were looking forward to the future together. No one believed that there would be a war. The local government only started construction in this area in a symbolic manner in order to complete the quantity quota of civil air defense projects set by the Pan-Asian Cooperation. It was not until 2155 that the local government realized that the shelter plan was not a joke, so it made urgent efforts to strengthen several cosmetic projects. Finally, before 2160, a shelter sufficient to provide shelter for 10 million people was built in Hongcheng.
On the way to the shelter, you can also see the abandoned maglev train platform.
But now the place is overgrown with weeds, and the thorny vines are wrapped around the magnetic track. The wild wolves hiding in the dark are rubbing their sharp claws and baring their teeth at the approaching NAC soldiers.
"Is this Sun Jiao's hometown?" Jiang Chen said casually, looking at the stone tablet corroded by acid rain.
The words "Shelter No. 71" and "Pan-Asian Cooperation" are blurred, and bullet holes and traces of burning can be seen in the tin houses scattered near the station.
"You can say that, after all, we were born in this shelter." A nostalgic smile appeared on Sun Xiaorou's face, and she reached out and gently touched the stone tablet.
It's like caressing the tombstone of the deceased.
A tombstone belonging to civilization.
"Marshal, be careful."
Noticing the wild wolf lurking among the trees, Li Wang raised his rifle and took two steps forward with the two guards next to him to protect Jiang Chen and Xiaorou.
"Ouch!"
Seeing that they had been discovered, a dozen wild wolves immediately ran out howling and opened their bloody mouths.
Several guards pulled the trigger calmly. Beat these dozen animals into a sieve.
"Good job." Jiang Chen patted Li Wang on the shoulder, "Remember, you have to call me captain here"
"Yes!" Li Wang nodded.
"You guys stay guard at the door. We can come out probably before dark." Jiang Chen glanced at the sky, which was not yet noon, and then ordered to the guards behind him.
Seeing that Jiang Chen planned to leave himself and others outside. Li Wang couldn't help but look troubled.
"Excuse me, I am responsible for your safety."
"What danger can there be in an abandoned shelter? There are only a few mutated cockroaches at most."
"But-"
"Okay, this is an order."
Seeing Jiang Chen's resolute attitude, Li Wang had to reluctantly agree, organized soldiers to drive the infantry vehicle to the door, placed a temporary bunker at the entrance of the shelter, and made an agreement with Jiang Chen. If they don't come up before 6 p.m., take someone down to support them.
The reason why we didn't take anyone down was not out of pride in our strength, but out of consideration for confidentiality.
The secret of eternal life is destined to be in the hands of only a few people.
…
Fortunately, the elevator to the underground still works.
In about half a minute, the elevator stopped underground, and Jiang Chen saw the door of Shelter 71.
The design of each shelter is different, but the general structure is similar.
The gear-shaped refuge door was open, judging from the thick dust on the ground. It had obviously been abandoned for a long time. The body lying at the door was wearing a blue uniform. Judging from the blood stains on his chest, he should have been shot.
"The raider's attack was sudden. The director ordered the security to fight back, but the man-made fire threw everything into chaos. My sister ran outside and while wandering around the ruins, she met a female soldier who called herself P... My sister should deal with these things You said it."
"That's right." Jiang Chen nodded.
The "restorationists" in the Huaxia District pride themselves on the banner of the past, strictly demand themselves with honor and virtue, and try to recreate the great country in history on these ruins. But until now, Jiang Chen still had not seen them.
"how about you?"
Sun Xiaorou shook her head.
"After all, it was a long time ago, and the memory in my mind is already very blurry. I only vaguely remember... Later, people from the Twilight Church adopted me."
"If it's a sad memory, don't think about it." Jiang Chen said softly.
"Brother-in-law is indeed very gentle." Xiaorou smiled, "I really envy my sister. I was able to meet you first."
"Okay, get ready to go." Jiang Chen coughed sheepishly. He pulled the gun bolt and walked into the shelter first.
With her index finger habitually placed on her lips, the corners of Sun Xiaorou's mouth curved happily, and she immediately lowered the graphene goggles on her helmet and followed.
It was pitch dark inside the shelter, without even basic lighting. The fusion fuel rods had been used up long ago, and the two had to rely on the headlamps on their helmets to shelter the interior.
"The layout is similar to that of Shelter 27." Jiang Chen picked up a diary and shook the dust off it.
[Last news, it seems we have bombed Americans back to the barbaric era. Too bad, so do we]
Putting the diary on the table next to him, Jiang Chen held the rifle and continued to explore forward.
"Squeak!"
A harsh sound came from the shadows. Jiang Chen suddenly turned his gun and locked it in the shadows. Several fat rats crazily crawled into the corner.
"They are mutated rats. If they are not hungry, they generally will not attack living people." Sun Xiaorou said.
"It's better to be careful." Jiang Chen sighed and turned on the life signal detection device on his helmet. "The crabs will eat people when they get bigger."
Although it was a long time ago, after all, Sun Xiaorou had lived here for a long time and still had some memories of the terrain of the refuge.
Because there was no electricity, the elevator in the shelter was naturally unable to operate, so the two chose the stairs for the safe passage.
Unknown dangers lurked in the dark corners, but the two of them were lucky that, except for a mutated spider the size of a calf, they did not encounter any more dangerous mutated creatures.
Polyethylene armor is still too strong for the spider's fangs. The huge mouth that suddenly struck from the darkness only startled Jiang Chen, and the unlucky spider was decapitated by Sun Xiaorou's dagger. After getting rid of the mucus on his arm, he only found a series of shallow teeth marks on his left arm armor.
In order to prevent accidents, Jiang Chen crushed all the spider eggs when passing by the spider web.
Finally, the two arrived at the ground floor of the shelter and stood in front of the shelter director's office.
Everything about this sanctuary is recorded here.
As the brain of the entire shelter, the power system here is completely independent from the outside world and is powered by a separate battery.
"Actually, I have never understood why the password was in the hands of the federal people, and why it was obtained by a small congressman. So that their... well, the president had to send someone to kill him and silence him." While standing at the door Jiang Chen typed the password given to him by Ji Yucheng into the terminal, Jiang Chen said.
"And the federal president who knows the password has not come here yet." Sun Xiaorou said thoughtfully.
"Is it because I don't know the location of Vault 71?"
"It's not like that." Sun Xiaorou shook her head.
The moment the door to the director's office opened, the lights on the wall suddenly brightened, dispelling the darkness in the shelter.
At the same time, the soft female voice sounded in their ears.
"Welcome to Shelter Technology, the Shelter System is here to serve you wholeheartedly."
"What's going on!" Jiang Chen immediately pulled out his rifle and pointed around him warily.
"The power system has been restarted? This is impossible. This shelter should have run out of power a long time ago..." Sun Xiaorou muttered to herself while looking at the small TV on the wall. (.)<=""><=""><="">
