On the spacious cargo elevator, ten figures stood.
"What is this?" Han Junhua pinched the green crystal as she asked.
"Crystal. Combined with a special energy extraction device, it can be used as a replacement for the nuclear fusion core." Jiang Chen stared at the wall outside the elevator as he answered casually.
"It's hard to imagine how much energy this little thing can store." Han Junhua stared at the reflection on the green crystal as she murmured to herself.
Jiang Chen glanced at her and didn't respond.
Behind him were eight soldiers in kinetic skeletons as they carefully guarded for any potential danger.
But Jiang Chen's expression was relaxed.
Just ten minutes ago, he and Han Junhua reached an agreement.
He originally thought this inhumane girl would ask for a lot of benefits from him, but the reality proved that he was overthinking.
Although the agreement was proposed by her, it was much more beneficial to the Fishbone base.
The content of the agreement was as follows:
First, fallout shelter 027's door will be permanently opened, nominally surrendering to the Fishbone base. Fallout shelter 027 will only maintain the current security force and will no longer expand. The Fishbone base will also stop invading and maintain a safe distance from fallout shelter 027.
The two sides will begin trade. The Fishbone base will be responsible for providing the energy and other resources needed to operate the fallout shelter, and the fallout shelter will exist as a research facility to provide technical support to the Fishbone base.
At the same time, the Fishbone base will be responsible for building a camp on the surface above the fallout shelter to accommodate the excess residents in the fallout shelter. The fallout shelter will have a high degree of autonomy over the camp, and the defense of the camp will be completely taken care of by the Fishbone base.
Also, Jiang Chen will send a representative and a number of workers to be stationed in fallout shelter 027 to communicate and register the required resources.
At the same time, fallout shelter 027 will send a representative to the Fishbone base to conduct a long term evaluation of the human rights situation. After enough trust is established, fallout shelter 027 will gradually merge with the Fishbone base.
It didn't matter if it merged or not since the agreement was already announced. Fallout shelter 027 will become a subsidiary of the Fishbone base.
A subsidiary that will maintain a safe distance from the sect master.
A slight sense of weight came from the bottom of his feet as the elevator was about to reach the bottom.
"I don't understand. This agreement seems to be disadvantageous to you?" Jiang Chen asked nonchalantly as he looked at the light opening from the underground.
It basically meant completely surrendering to the Fishbone base.
The only difference from being completely occupied was that Fishbone soldiers were not allowed to enter the fallout shelter. But if they controlled the only exit of the Sanctuary, it did not make a big difference whether they entered or not.
"The original purpose of the fallout shelter was to preserve the spark of civilization and wait for the environmental conditions to improve before building a colony on the ruins. Not to return to the surface and establish hegemony over the unfortunate. "
If the Fishbone base could replace fallout shelter 027 to carry out its mission, and was indeed more capable than fallout shelter 027, then fallout shelter 027 could be merged into the Fishbone base.
Of course, the premise was that they could keep their promise and protect the personal freedom and safety of the residents in the fallout shelter.
This kind of trust could only be built with time.
"Your explanation is rather unique. That's not what Shi Yongtian told me." Jiang Chen laughed.
"It was my mistake to send him to the surface," Han Junhua admitted frankly.
If PAC's image had already collapsed in the hearts of the survivors, it would be comical to send a PAC official as a lobbyist. But it was not her fault. Who would have thought the war would end like this?
The elevator stopped moving. Jiang Chen signaled the soldiers to stay there as he walked with Han Junhua to the gear-shaped door.
Han Junhua walked to the door of the fallout shelter as she pulled out a cable from the door and plugged it into her EP.
"How is the negotiation going?" Tian Feng asked anxiously.
"Very successful. Open the door."
When he heard Han Junhua's instruction, Tian Feng let out a sigh of relief as he signaled the workers in the control room to open the fallout shelter door.
Dust rose as the gear-shaped door slowly rolled to the side and revealed the walkway behind it.
The suspension bridge formed a road under the control of the mechanical arm, connecting the entrance and the inside of the fallout shelter.
"It's hard to imagine that a thousand meters below the surface exists such a space."
"Do you want to go in and take a look?" Han Junhua asked nonchalantly.
Although he was interested in taking a look, he still shook his head.
"No need, it's fine at the door."
[Are you kidding me? If I go in, who knows if you will suddenly turn hostile and kidnap me?]
"Your concern is also our concern."
"Oh? What do you mean? "Jiang Chen looked at Han Junhua, intrigued.
"You don't dare to come in, just like we don't dare to let you in. Isn't that right?" Han Junhua said emotionlessly.
Hearing this, Jiang Chen paused for a moment before he burst out laughing.
The soldiers behind him were confused as they didn't understand why their leader would suddenly laugh.
The PAC soldiers in the fallout shelter were also confused as they nervously looked at Jiang Chen standing next to Han Junhua.
"You are an interesting person." Jiang Chen shrugged as he grinned.
"That's surprising. Even I think I'm a boring person." The corner of Han Junhua's mouth curved up under the force of her muscles as she left this sentence and walked into the fallout shelter.
They didn't wait long at the door.
Soon, Han Junhua came out with two drafts of the agreement.
Jiang Chen scanned through them before he signed his name on the two agreements. Both parties would each hold one copy. The agreement would take effect on the date of signing.
Jiang Chen noticed that when he signed the "surrender agreement", the middle-aged man behind Han Junhua looked at him with suspicion and hatred.
But Jiang Chen didn't say anything about it. He just smiled nonchalantly and put away his own contract.
Before he boarded the elevator back to the surface, Jiang Chen turned around and looked at Han Junhua who walked him to the elevator.
"The representative from the Fishbone base will arrive tomorrow. The first batch of supplies will arrive the day after. I hope you won't suddenly close the door after you take the crystals. Otherwise, I might blow up this cave if I get angry," Jiang Chen said in a joking tone.
"We will keep our promise. Please don't use this kind of threatening joke to test our fragile trust," Han Junhua said.
"Haha, don't think too much, it's just a joke. Of course, I believe you will keep your promise. "Jiang Chen smiled as he boarded the elevator and pressed the start button on the control board.
"See you again."
"See you."
Han Junhua watched the elevator ascend before she turned around and walked back to the fallout shelter.
On the way back to the office, she could feel the suspicion and distrust in the eyes around her.
It was understandable since a few minutes ago, she "sold" the fallout shelter to the person named Jiang Chen.
She sat on the chair and looked at the empty room. She suddenly sighed.
From today onwards, all residents in the fallout shelter could return to the surface and enjoy unlimited ultraviolet radiation while breathing free air.
Except for her.
Choosing to use herself as a deterrent meant giving up the opportunity to return to the surface.
At least until enough trust was established.
She suddenly felt tired …
Han Junhua slowly laid down on the table and took a nap, which she hadn't done for a long time.
