The explosion in the tent area caused panic in the camp. A lot of people were clamoring to return to the fallout shelter, and there were even signs of conflict with the soldiers on duty.
Fortunately, Wang Zhaowu was a decisive person. He brought the soldiers in the camp and quickly rushed to the elevator entrance to provide support. He used machine guns to forcefully suppress the momentum of snatching the elevator and forcefully controlled the situation.
As the acting director, Xu Lu didn't just sit around. She used her friendliness and good image in the hearts of the fallout shelter residents to gradually stabilize the emotions of the residents.
At the same time, the investigation into the cause of the explosion was also underway.
Soon, a report was placed on Jiang Chen's table.
21 injured, 5 dead, 17 tents destroyed.
The center of the explosion was very close to Academician Qin's tent, only two to three meters away. Further away, the soldiers found the wreckage of a drone. Based on the clues, it could be deduced that someone controlled the drone to fly to Academician Qin's tent and detonated the bomb.
It was obviously a murder, and the murderer came from outside the camp!
But why?
Jiang Chen closed his eyes tightly as he leaned back in his chair in deep thought.
He couldn't understand why an old man with one foot in the grave would be hated by others, especially an old man who just left the fallout shelter.
Suddenly, he had an idea as he took out the black metal ball Academician Qin gave him from the storage dimension.
"Is it because of this?"
It was obvious that he didn't want to snatch it away by throwing the bomb. Someone wanted to destroy the communication coordinates connected to Zhenghe Ship? Of course, it was only a possibility. Another possibility was based on Academician Qin's identity, someone wanted to eliminate the experimenter of fallout shelter 027.
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows.
Just then, there was a soft knock on the door.
Jiang Chen threw the "Golden Apple" into the storage dimension and said nonchalantly, "Please come in."
He pushed the door open and Xu Lu walked in.
"The residents' emotions have been stabilized, and new tents and daily necessities have been distributed to the residents who suffered losses. As to the more seriously injured residents, they will be temporarily transported to the fallout shelter for treatment."
"Excellent, you did a good job." Jiang Chen nodded as he acknowledged her work.
Xu Lu humbly smiled as she stood there waiting for Jiang Chen's next order.
"Where is Wang Zhaowu now?"
"He's personally leading the patrol team. Do you need me to find him?"
Jiang Chen shook his head. "No need. Tell him for me, and don't be too nervous. I didn't blame him. After all, no one would have thought of using a drone to sneak into the camp and detonate a bomb. But I hope the same thing won't happen again. "
"Okay." Xu Lu nodded, turned around, and left the office, gently closing the door.
Jiang Chen leaned against the chair again, looked up at the ceiling, closed his eyes, and sorted out the chaotic clues in his mind.
To be honest, if it was just the deaths of a few insignificant fallout shelter residents, it was far more than enough for him to worry about. What really made Jiang Chen uneasy was the feeling of being kept in the dark.
Someone had killed someone in his territory, and it was done in such a way that it was impossible to guard against. However, he had no clue as to the murderer's motive.
There were two possibilities, one was to destroy the Golden Apple, the other was to kill Academician Qin …
Wait a minute!
Jiang Chen suddenly opened his eyes as he realized that he seemed to have entered some kind of misunderstanding.
Regardless of who the murderer was, he had to know one thing, which was that the fallout shelter was opened, and Academician Qin moved from the fallout shelter to the surface. It was not difficult to know this point. Camp 27 had just been built, and it was not as tightly guarded as the Fishbone base. A drone hovering in the air could clearly see the situation inside the camp.
As to who it was that had been plotting against Fallout Shelter 027 from the beginning and had been guarding it as if they knew it was going to open soon, the answer was obvious.
Lin Chaoen and the people from the Crimson Chamber of Commerce.
Based on the mission record obtained from the EP, Jiang Chen could speculate that the Crimson Chamber of Commerce was only an accomplice, working for Lin Chaoen for the "Happy Times" formula.
Therefore, the person who carried out the explosion was Lin Chaoen!
But what was the motive?
Just then, a word flashed through his mind.
Evolution!
Jiang Chen still remembered what Academician Qin told him about the three directions of evolution of civilization, as well as the inevitability of new humans exporting civilization to old humans. Jiang Chen didn't think much of what Academician Qin said, but he didn't expect something like this to happen.
Could it be that the two events were somehow connected?
"Robot, digitalized human … Do they represent the highest?" Jiang Chen murmured to himself.
Just then, the light on the corner of the table suddenly flashed.
Seeing a phone call, Jiang Chen tapped on the corner of the table, and a holographic image was projected in front of him with Cheng Weiguo's face on it.
"Boss, the location you wanted to explore has been scouted," Cheng Weiguo reported in an undertone when he saw Jiang Chen.
"Oh? Did you find anything? "
"We found a group of survivors gathering place … But it might not be. This is an image taken from above. "Cheng Weiguo sent a video frame to Jiang Chen.
It was a video taken from more than one thousand meters in the air, completed by a helicopter.
The target location was an office building. Because it was close to the city center, the building was greatly affected by the high temperature from the nuclear explosion. It was impossible to tell what was there from the scorched surface. But from the sentry machine guns on top of the building, it was not an ownerless place.
Then, the helicopter began to descend. The pilot probably wanted to get closer to see if there were any survivors, but he was quickly attacked by the anti-air machine guns hidden in the bunker. The image shook violently, and then the helicopter began to retreat.
Because they didn't receive any orders to attack, the gunner didn't fire back with the Type-50 electromagnetic pulse cannon.
"Is there anyone there?" Jiang Chen frowned.
"I'm not sure yet." Cheng Weiguo's expression was helpless. "Any survivor gathering place with some ability would be equipped with life signal shielding equipment. It's impossible to see any signs of human activity from the outside. But since there are so many sentry machine guns guarding there, there should be someone living there. "
"Send a few drones to keep an eye on it. If there's nothing else, you can go." Also, send more people to Camp 27 … If there's nothing else, you can go ahead and do what you need to. "
Also, send more people to camp 27 … If there's nothing else, you can go. "
Turning off the screen, Jiang Chen leaned against the chair and sighed.
"Fu * k, why are there so many things."
Jiang Chen suddenly cursed, jumped off the chair, and left the office.
…
The next morning, Jiang Chen found Wang Zhaowu and ordered him to complete the drone protection measures, such as setting up a drone detection radar in the camp and setting up EMP traps.
After giving these orders, Jiang Chen went straight back to the Fishbone base.
It was close to the middle of March. If there were no accidents, there should be some progress on the modern world side.
He had been away for more than a month. It was better to solve the problem on Pannu Islands as soon as possible. The development in the modern world was temporarily at a bottleneck. Only by obtaining a reliable base would he be able to develop the advanced technology without any worries.
Jiang Chen told Sun Jiao that he was going to leave for a few days. Then, he brought the batch of firearms from the Sixth Street back to the modern world.
