Fallout Shelter 071 in Hongcheng was located in the wilderness south of Wuyang Town, near the hill by the Fu River with a depth of about 1000 meters.
Strictly speaking, the local geological environment wasn't suitable for the construction of a deep fallout shelter. But this fallout shelter project was approved before 2150. At that time, the global situation was great with the rapid development of aerospace technology. People from all over the world looked forward to the future together, and no one believed that war would happen. The local government only wanted to complete the number of civil air defense projects given by Pan-Asia Cooperation, so they symbolically started construction nearby. It wasn't until 2155 that the local government realized the fallout shelter project wasn't a joke, so they focused on strengthening several projects. Finally, before 2160, a fallout shelter was built in Hongcheng to provide shelter for a population of 10 million.
On the way to the fallout shelter, there was an abandoned maglev train station.
But at this moment, it was overgrown with weeds and thorny vines covered the magnetic tracks. Wolves hiding in the dark rubbed their sharp claws and bared their teeth at the approaching NAC soldiers.
"Is this Sun Jiao's hometown?" Jiang Chen looked at the monument corroded by the acid rain and said nonchalantly.
The words of [Fallout Shelter 071] and [Pan-Asia Cooperation] were already blurred, and the metal houses scattered around the station had bullet holes and burn marks.
"You could say that. After all, we were born in this fallout shelter." A nostalgic smile appeared on Sun Xiaorou's face as she gently touched the monument.
Just like touching the tombstone of the deceased.
The tombstone of civilization.
"General, be careful."
Li Wang noticed the wolves hiding in the bushes. He raised his rifle and took two steps forward with the two guards beside him to protect Jiang Chen and Xiaorou.
"Awooo —!"
Seeing that they had been discovered, a dozen or so wild wolves immediately howled and rushed out, opening their bloody mouths like sacrificial bowls.
A few guards calmly pulled the trigger and turned the dozen or so beasts into sieves.
"Good job." Jiang Chen patted Li Wang's shoulder. "But remember, you have to call me captain here."
"Yes!" Li Wang nodded.
"You guys guard the door. We should be able to come out before dark. "Jiang Chen looked at the sky that was not yet noon and ordered the guards behind him.
Seeing that Jiang Chen planned to keep them outside, Li Wang's expression was troubled.
"Forgive me, but I have to be responsible for your safety."
"What kind of danger could there be in an abandoned fallout shelter? At most, there would only be a few mutated cockroaches."
"But —"
"Alright, this is an order."
Seeing Jiang Chen's firm attitude, Li Wang had to reluctantly agree. He organized the soldiers to drive the armored vehicle to the door and placed a temporary bunker at the entrance of the fallout shelter. He also agreed with Jiang Chen that if he didn't come up before 6 pm, he would bring people down to provide support.
The reason why he didn't bring anyone down wasn't because he was conceited about his strength, but because he wanted to keep it a secret.
The secret of eternal life was destined to be in the hands of only a few people.
…
Fortunately, the elevator to the underground was still usable.
About half a minute later, the elevator stopped and Jiang Chen saw the door of Fallout Shelter 071.
The design of each fallout shelter was different, but the general structure was similar.
The gear-shaped door was open. From the thick layer of dust on the ground, it was obviously abandoned for a long time. The body leaning against the door was wearing a blue uniform. From the bloodstains on the chest, it was probably shot.
"The raiders' attack was sudden. The director commanded the security to fight back, but the man-made fire made everything chaotic. Sister ran outside and when she was wandering in the ruins, she met a female soldier who claimed to be from the People's Liberation Army … Sister should have told you about this. "
"That's right." Jiang Chen nodded.
The "revivalists" of the Huaxia region prided themselves on the flag of the past, strictly adhering to glory and virtue, and tried to recreate the great country in history on the ruins. But until now, Jiang Chen still hadn't seen them.
"What about you?"
Sun Xiaorou shook her head.
"After all, it was a long time ago. The memory in my mind is already very blurry. I only vaguely remember … Then the people of the Dusk adopted me. "
"If it's a sad memory, don't think about it," Jiang Chen said softly.
"Brother-in-law is really gentle." Sun Xiaorou smiled. "I'm so envious of sister for meeting you first."
"Okay, let's go." Jiang Chen awkwardly coughed, pulled the bolt, and led the way into the fallout shelter.
Sun Xiaorou habitually put her finger on her lips as her mouth curled up happily. She immediately put down the graphene goggles on her helmet and followed.
The sanctuary was pitch black, and there wasn't even basic lighting. The nuclear fusion fuel rods were used up a long time ago. The two could only rely on the headlights on their helmets to enter the fallout shelter.
"The layout is similar to Fallout Shelter 027." Jiang Chen picked up a diary and shook off the dust on it.
Jiang Chen put the diary on the table next to him, held the rifle, and continued to explore.
"Squeak —!"
An ear-piercing sound came from the shadows. Jiang Chen suddenly turned the muzzle and locked onto the shadows. A few fat rats frantically crawled into the corner.
"It's the mutated rats. If they're not hungry, they usually won't attack living people, "Sun Xiaorou said.
"It's better to be careful." Jiang Chen let out a sigh and opened the life signal detection device on the helmet. "Even crabs want to eat people when they get bigger."
Although it was a long time ago, she lived here for a long time. Sun Xiaorou still had some memories of the fallout shelter's layout.
Because there was no electricity, the elevator in the fallout shelter naturally couldn't operate. The two chose the safety stairs.
Unknown dangers lurked in the dark corners, but the two were lucky. Other than a calf-sized mutated spider, they didn't encounter any more dangerous mutated creatures.
For the spider's claws, the polyethylene armor was too sturdy. The giant mouth that suddenly appeared in the dark only scared Jiang Chen for a second before the unfortunate spider's head was sliced off by Sun Xiaorou's dagger. After getting rid of the mucus on his arm, he only found a series of shallow teeth marks on the spider's left armor.
To prevent any accidents, when they passed by the spider web, Jiang Chen crushed all the spider eggs.
Finally, the two arrived at the bottom of the fallout shelter and stood in front of the fallout shelter leader's office.
Everything about the fallout shelter was recorded here.
As the brain of the entire fallout shelter, the power system here was completely independent from the outside world and was powered by an individual battery.
"I don't understand why the password would be in the hands of Federation, and why a small parliament member would obtain it. So much so that their … Mhmm, the president had to send people to kill him, "Jiang Chen said as he keyed in the password Ji Yucheng gave him.
"And the Federation president who knows the password hasn't come here yet," Sun Xiaorou said in deep thought.
"Is it because he doesn't know the location of fallout shelter 071?"
"Doesn't look like it." Sun Xiaorou shook her head.
The moment the door to the leader's office opened, the lights on the wall suddenly lit up and dispersed the darkness in the fallout shelter.
At the same time, a soft female voice rang in their ears.
"Welcome to fallout shelter technology. The fallout shelter system is at your service."
"What's going on!" Jiang Chen immediately pulled out his rifle and pointed around cautiously.
"The power system restarted? That's impossible, this fallout shelter should have run out of power a long time ago … "Sun Xiaorou muttered to herself as she stared at the small TV on the wall.
