The green leather car started and drove into the gate of the checkpoint under the command of the officer. Behind the gate is a piece of sand, where a few scattered cars are parked. There are also some car wrecks among them. Naturally, these things can no longer be started, but the parts on them can continue to generate waste heat, so they have not been disposed of.
Cars were parked on the side of the sandy ground that we might call a parking lot. The people in the car got off one after another, trotting along with the officer quickly under the hot noon sun. Behind the sandy ground is a flat concrete ground connected to it, facing the gate of the checkpoint is a six-story building. Obviously, the color of the walls above the third floor of the building is somewhat different from that below. It looks like it was repaired later, but in fact, most of the surface buildings in the Remut area are like this.
Now Zero and the others have reached the edge of the settlement, which is also the zone of armed fire. The building in front of me actually acts as a sentry tower, and at least four firepower points in the building are equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns. After a quick glance, Zero knew that the arrangement of these machine guns was extremely particular, and the intersecting firepower net was enough to tear apart any intruder who dared to attack from the main entrance.
And there are still a dozen or so such sentry towers and machine guns in the surrounding area of Remut. Even though Remut doesn't need an expensive defense system like the surface-to-air missile system, as far as a settlement is concerned, Remut is infinitely better than the Z7 base that Zero stayed in before.
After the outer fortifications, there is a water purification plant. Of course, with the resources of Remut, it is impossible to build a water purification plant out of thin air. The biggest reason why the founders of the settlement chose this area is that there is still an old water purification plant here. The water purification plant is no longer in operation, but after ten years of hard work, it has been able to produce ten tons of clean water for the residents of Remut every day. Although the amount of water is not much, and there is some radiation in the water, it is much happier than other places where you need to buy clean water or make a living from underground water sources.
In addition to the water purification plant, there are also two food processing plants here, which produce various flavors of nutrients and a small amount of bread for the residents of Remut. Of course, that was not moldy bread that had been eaten, but warm bread that had been baked. In turbulent times, being able to eat a bite of such bread is considered a luxury. Naturally, such bread is not cheap, at least it is not available for ordinary residents.
Behind this industrial area is the residential area of Remut. It is a complete restoration and decoration of old residential buildings, and these houses are only open after the sun goes down. People who usually live in the underground base can rent a house from Remut on a monthly basis, so that they can relive the old life after sunset.
Residents live in the underground base, work, and earn the wages needed for living. Then, through the purchase of food, water, rent and entertainment, the currency flows back to Remut's treasury, so as to maintain the income balance between the settlement and the residents. In addition to the income of the residents, Remut can also sell additional clean water, charge various fees for joining the settlement's foreign population, and even set up his own army to capture mutant creatures and sell samples. income.
And part of the extra income will be used to expand the scale of Remut and other projects, so as to attract more foreign population to stay and cooperate with other companies or chaebols.
Undoubtedly, the founder of Remut has a very long-term vision. So this settlement is growing at a steady pace on the edge of the continent.
At the entrance of the underground base, after a series of handover procedures. Zero and the others took a special elevator, led by a woman dressed as an office girl, to the underground base located 200 meters deep underground.
Unlike the Z7 base, Remut's underground base obviously does not have the function of an operation area. It is divided into four major areas according to function: living area, administrative area, commercial area and temporary parking area.
Among them, the area of temporary parking is the smallest. It is said to be a parking place, but in fact it is an open space. Apart from the concrete floor, there is nothing, not even tents for resting. Fortunately, Teddy and the others had two tents, and they opened them up. One let the children and women rest, and the other was given to Ling and Liya, as a token of Ling's gratitude for paying their temporary residence fees.
Not long after the placement, several personnel in protective clothing came to the station under the escort of a team of soldiers. This is a quarantine procedure specially prepared for outsiders. If a virus infection or genetic tissue mutation is detected among the personnel, they will be kicked out of the base together with other people. If you don't want to go, a dozen or so microcomputers will make you not want to go.
Teddy and the others were very nervous, as the Dar base lacked medical facilities. To be honest, if one of them is infected with the virus, as long as they don't get sick, the others will not know. So watching the inspectors sweeping the detection equipment around the body, the people in the Dar base were quite nervous.
But the most nervous ones were Zero and Leah.
Zero had only seen Remut marked settlements on the map before. In his understanding, settlements were places where people gathered and lived in the wilderness. No matter how rich his imagination was, Zero never thought that the scale of Remut was not lower than that of some companies and bases, let alone that they even had virus detection procedures.
In this way, the fact that Leah is carrying the virus has to be exposed.
"Take off your hat."
An inspector said this to Leah, and Leah instinctively shrank behind Zero. The staff member shook his head helplessly, and didn't force Leah, but still took the detector and scanned Leah.
Looking at the screen of the detector jumping with various data, Zero is already preparing for the worst. If Liya was found to have the virus, then he would naturally have to leave with the girl. And if Remut wants to enforce quarantine or even kill Lia because of this matter, then Zero is already ready to kill her. It's just that in this way, I'm afraid it will implicate Teddy and the others.
But at this time, Zero can't care so much.
However, the detector swept Lia from head to toe, but did not send out an alarm, which made the two feel puzzled while rejoicing. There are only two reasons why the detector does not alarm. One is that the detector is broken, and the second is that Leah is not infected with the virus at all.
Judging from the scale of Remut, the first possibility is very small; then there is only the second possibility left.
Leah never had the virus at all!
[The category will be pushed next week, and the fourth chapter will be broken out on Monday to thank all friends for their support! It's a pity that Xiaochen is a rookie, and he found out about *'s signing information a week late, and then he was a week late. The most tragic thing is that the book is about to be released on the new book list, I hope everyone can continue to support it! ! ]
