The debate continued into the morning.
But it didn't matter, there was no concept of day and night in the fallout shelter.
The topic of discussion had developed from "the merits and demerits of the fallout shelter leader" to "what to do next", it was a huge improvement.
Energy, without energy, there was no way to survive. The water purifier would stop running, the organic farm would stop working, the ultraviolet lights would go off, and even the air filtration device would stop working. From the complete loss of power to the collapse of the fallout shelter, it would only take ten minutes!
Perhaps he was triggered by the argument on the conference table, Shi Yongtian, who had been shivering in the chair, suddenly stood up, slammed the table, and yelled angrily.
"War! Only war can solve all problems! We should declare war on the natives on the ground! Don't they have the nuclear fusion core? Let's just take it from them. Not only did the mob illegally encircle the land, but they also resisted with weapons. They even rebelled! We should teach them a lesson and teach them the etiquette and restraint that civilized people should have! The glory of PAC, live forever! "
The angry roar covered all the voices on the conference table.
Wu Yaguo, who was interrupted, looked over blankly. Han Junhua, who had an emotionless expression, only glanced at him. Even Tian Feng, who had been staring at the ground, raised his head and looked at him strangely.
Shi Yongtian's throat moved, and his hands on the table trembled like he had epilepsy.
After a moment, he stiffly sat back down.
"Ahem." Wu Yaguo coughed. "Shi Yongtian, why don't you go back and rest first."
Shi Yongtian looked at him gratefully, then stiffly got up and limped out of the conference room.
Seeing the door closed, Wu Yaguo slowly spoke. This time, his tone was much calmer, and he no longer had the tone of an argument.
"This angry … resident, although it is just an emotional expression, it also provides us with ideas for future development, right? We can use external warfare to solve the energy crisis. "
"It's impossible to win." Tian Feng suddenly raised his head. He, who personally witnessed the strength of those people, thought he needed to remind the decision-makers. "Heavy machine guns, drones, sentry cannons, and even power armors. Our security forces are just wartime police, not the frontline forces fighting with NATO. We are not equipped with heavy firepower equipment. "
"What the hell? You guys are using the taxpayers' money to train. Can't you guys suppress a group of rioters?" Wu Yaguo could not help but curse.
"But that mob is not a mob. Furthermore, training cannot make up for the difference in equipment, "Tian Feng said helplessly.
"What about those man-eating beasts? Didn't you guys win? "Wu Yaguo questioned.
Tian Feng smiled, but his smile was a little bitter.
To a warrior, the most painful thing was to explain war to someone who had never participated in a war.
"The surface armed forces are divided into different sizes. Some are as powerful as the Fishbone base, and some are scattered. They are fighting their own battles. "
"Then pick someone you can beat!" Wu Yaguo said impatiently.
"It's illegal to steal from the victims … from the survivors."
"Legal? Heh! Those people were lawbreakers. They committed murder, robbery, and disgracing corpses! Aren't you the security force? Do you think they didn't deserve to die? "
Tian Feng didn't say anything. His mind was a mess.
Of course, he thought those devils deserved to die and should be punished with the harshest punishment. But they were only wartime police, not judges. They had no right to decide the ownership of the lawbreakers' property. Picking up the nuclear fusion core from the corpse and bringing it to the fallout shelter was a serious violation of the law.
Robbers who robbed robbers were also robbers in legal terms.
But he didn't refute Wu Yaguo's opinion.
If PAC no longer existed, what was the point of enforcing PAC's laws? Including the rank on his collar, what was the point?
"What do you think? As the leader of the fallout shelter, are you going to do nothing? "Wu Yaguo looked at Han Junhua.
Han Junhua glanced at Wu Yaguo as she slowly opened her mouth.
"Stupid."
Wu Yaguo's face turned green as he gritted his teeth. Instead of being angry, he laughed. "Stupid? Is it you who are stupid for not doing anything, or is it me, as the representative of the residents, who put myself in the position of the fallout shelter, who is stupid? "
"Of course it's you."
"You-!" Wu Yaguo held onto the table and stood up.
But Han Junhua didn't give him any face.
"I don't know what considerations the old leader had for him to make the stupid decision of electing a resident representative from the residents. Observing public opinion? This is a fallout shelter, not a resort. "
"Okay, Xiao Hua, calm down. Don't say that. Since you have an idea, why don't you explain it? "Academician Qin sighed.
"Because there is no need. The people's vision is narrow."
When he heard Han Junhua's words, Academician Qin smiled bitterly and looked at Wu Yaguo.
"Can I tell you a story?"
"Speak." Although he was angry, he was still very respectful towards this old man.
"A poor man and a rich man lived in the same community. Because the police maintained order, the two lived in harmony. But one day, the order that had always existed disappeared in one night. Then what will happen next? "
Wu Yaguo gulped as he began to realize the severity of the problem.
"What we should consider now is not who to steal the nuclear fusion core from, but how to ensure that we won't be robbed by the survivors on the surface. The trouble that the fallout shelter is facing isn't just one. "Academician Qin sighed.
"If these things spread among the ordinary residents, it will only increase unnecessary panic." Han Junhua glanced at Academician Qin.
"But if you don't say anything, the residents will still feel panic." Academician Qin smiled kindly.
Han Junhua didn't say anything else as she fell into deep thought.
His eyes wavering, Wu Yaguo said with difficulty, "Then before they reach their hands over, steal enough nuclear fusion cores and close the door of the fallout shelter. As long as we don't open the door- "
"We can't hide forever."
After a pause, Academician Qin continued.
"There is no difference between closing for 20 years and 50 years. It will only make the gap between us and the survivors on the surface bigger and bigger."
"Then what do you think we should do?" Wu Yaguo screamed.
"Since the fallout shelter has been opened, the environment on the surface isn't so bad that we can't survive. We should return to the surface, establish contact with the survivors on the surface, and even rebuild our home- "
"Surface? What's there? Only a group of primitive people. Even if they know how to use gunpowder and master technology, they are still primitive people! The filthy environment, suffocating radiation dust, disgusting mutated creatures, I don't think we should leave the fallout shelter! There are warm beds, clean water, fresh food, there is no need for us to leave here, "Wu Yaguo retorted.
Han Junhua ignored Wu Yaguo and looked at Academician Qin.
"Fishbone base already has the information of our energy shortage. If I'm not mistaken, they should already be discussing how to deal with us. Do you have any good ideas? "
It was the first time she used a tone asking for advice.
"Then we should communicate with them, or make a deal."
"A deal can only be established when the conditions of both sides are equal. And they already know our weakness. If they can easily force us to surrender, there is no reason for them to choose a deal, "Han Junhua said in an undertone.
"As long as the weakness doesn't exist." Academician Qin lowered his head.
"Is that so …" Han Junhua also fell into deep thought.
"What are you guys talking about?" Wu Yaguo couldn't help but ask as he watched the two talk in riddles.
But no one responded to him.
Because if some things were to spread out, it would only increase unnecessary panic …
The silence lasted for a long time before Han Junhua abruptly announced, "Meeting adjourned."
Tian Feng, who couldn't sit still any longer, let out a sigh of relief and left the conference room first. Wu Yaguo's mouth twitched as he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything and left.
Academician Qin stood up shakily as he passed by Han Junhua and let out a sigh.
"Have you made your decision?"
"Mhmm."
Academician Qin nodded and left the conference room after he heard the affirmative answer.
It was as if in an instant, the originally noisy conference room became quiet, and Han Junhua was the only one left.
"Humanity?"
After a long time, she slowly uttered the ambiguous words.
Han Junhua repeated the words over and over again as she shook her head and walked out the door.
