The construction speed had been squeezed to the limit, but it was still unknown whether at least 80% of the project could be completed by March. In particular, the rain showed no signs of stopping, which cast a shadow over the battle that had yet to begin.
As soon as the fifty engineering robots stepped off the production line of the Sixth Street factory, they were urgently transferred to Yizhou Island by the supply airship. Not only the hired survivors, but even some soldiers of the expeditionary force were also involved in the project.
Li Wang personally stood on the front line and supervised the construction. Although he knew that the spiritual comfort was greater than the practical significance, he still did it.
At this time, an adjutant walked to his side.
"There are survivors causing trouble in the western construction section. They are asking for salary settlement."
Li Wang's eyelids didn't move as he said emotionlessly.
"We said from the beginning that the salary will be paid after the project is completed."
The adjutant hesitated for a moment and reported truthfully.
"They are afraid that the project will never be completed."
Li Wang said after a moment of silence.
"Salary will be paid on March 2nd. I don't care what method you use to suppress their emotions. "
"Yes!" The adjutant saluted.
Li Wang was well aware of the fact that they absolutely could not be paid. As for the reason, it was not because NAC lacked the money, but because once the money was paid, these people would not stay here to work. Instead, they would take the crystals and hide in the fallout shelter.
Even if the salary was to be paid, it would have to wait until March 2nd, after the door of Fallout Shelter 79 closed …
At the same time, inside Fallout Shelter 79.
A man in a PAC military uniform was standing at the door, narrowing his eyes as he watched the skinny survivors lined up to enter the fallout shelter. He enjoyed this feeling as he watched the pitiful people lower their heads, beg for his protection, and offer up the few crystals they had with both hands.
Yuan Yi, the mayor of Town No. 79, was also the director of Fallout Shelter 79. Limited by the awareness of the apocalypse, in the "history of the rise and fall" of many fallout shelters, there were few examples of blue skin being able to defeat the chaotic wasteland "refugees" and successfully establish a stable order in the fallout shelter.
Town No. 79 was undoubtedly an exception.
Before the door of the fallout shelter opened, the leader of this fallout shelter had already completed the transformation of fallout shelter 79 from freedom to dictatorship. With an ample supply of firearms, almost all of the two thousand fallout shelter members were recruited as soldiers by him.
As soon as the fallout shelter opened, his attitude toward the refugees on the wasteland wasn't to aid them, but to conquer them.
Obviously, he had succeeded.
Regardless of whether the means were extreme or not, Fallout Shelter 79 successfully survived the first year of the gate's opening and survived until now.
Just as Yuan Yi was admiring the expressions on the faces of the survivors, his subordinate walked over and performed an old-fashioned PAC salute.
"Sir, the NAC Expeditionary Force still shows no signs of withdrawal."
After hearing the news, Yuan Yi narrowed his eyes slightly.
Every year in the Month of Disaster, he could harvest tens of thousands of crystals from the poor people who came to seek refuge. The reason why Town 79 was able to develop to its current scale was also based on the people's fear of the Month of Disaster.
Unlike most survivors, as a vested interest in the Moon of Disaster, he didn't want this disaster to disappear.
However, at this moment, he couldn't do anything brazenly.
The strength shown by the NAC made him feel deep fear. Not to mention anything else, just by looking at the steel airship, he clearly knew that the strength of the two sides was not on the same level at all.
Yuan Yi crossed his arms and thought for a moment, then a sinister smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Let the survivors lurking in the labor force prepare. Before February 28th, instigate a collective strike in the name of demanding wages."
The subordinate's eyes lit up and he immediately said.
"Director is wise!"
Yuan Yi waved his hand and smiled.
"Tell them for me. If this is done, they will be rewarded."
"Yes!"
The subordinate nodded, but he didn't leave immediately.
"Why aren't you going?" Yuan Yi frowned.
"There is one more thing to report," the subordinate said with his head down.
"What is it?"
"Our scouts in Datun Mountain Nature Park found that someone tried to enter the park …"
…
Today was the 26th, only two days away from the Month of Disaster.
The heavy rain on Yizhou Island had slowed down, but the dark clouds that didn't dissipate made the weather turn into a rainy day.
The mud was washed onto the road. Because no one had repaired it for a long time, the cracked rural road had become a dirty dirt road. After two centimeters of mud was removed, the cement road underneath could be seen.
In raincoats, a group of three people stood at the entrance of Datun Nature Park.
Jiang Chen took off the hood on his head and scanned the surroundings. The dark forest on both sides was unsettling, but after turning on the radio life detection device, there was no trace of mutant activity. From this point of view, the forest couldn't be safer.
But this was too abnormal.
Jiang Chen frowned slightly.
"It's not only humans who choose to take refuge in the Month of Disaster. Many mutants will also hide in caves or building ruins to avoid the crabs that eat everything." Chen Guangning saw the confusion in Jiang Chen's eyes and explained to him.
"I see." Jiang Chen nodded.
"I say … are we really going up?" Looking at the road leading to Datun Nature Park, Lin Lin's face was full of fear.
Seeing her trembling, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile.
This little girl was clearly a digitalized human, but she was more timid than humans.
Chen Guangning hesitated and also said, "I have the same view as Miss Lin. Mole said that there may be some bad things hidden here. It's better for us to be cautious. In addition, do we really not need the help of the expeditionary force? Fallout Shelter 79 sent more than one hundred people here, and we only have three people here. What's more … "
What's more, you are the NAC General.
How can a large group of people move nuclear devices and materials to the modern world? As for the danger, Jiang Chen wasn't very worried. As long as he wore the power armor, there was no possibility of being "killed". No matter what kind of danger he encountered, he could quickly escape from here.
What's more, with the pile of high-tech hidden in the storage dimension, he alone had the combat power of one hundred people.
"You can just wait here. And you, Lin Lin, come up when you see my signal. "
Leaving this sentence, Jiang Chen didn't care how Chen Guangning and Lin Lin reacted. He took out the Reaper Rifle under his raincoat and walked alone to the misty mountain road.
