Bennett's invitation represented his trust. The location of the gathering this time was the first fallout shelter that the Dark Net was building. The chosen location was the ruins of a city called "Abandoned City of Roda." It was once the financial center of a destroyed country in the Southern Continent. It was located in a flat wasteland in the inland of the Southern Continent.
Han Xiao sat in the special helicopter sent by Bennett. When he looked down at the city from the sky, the construction scene of the fallout shelter jumped into his eyes. The first thing he saw was a huge wall barrier that was being built. It was dozens of meters tall, and there were workers welding steel bars on the scaffolding in the unfinished area. The concrete of the wall was mixed with other materials. It had a metallic luster and was very defensive. With Han Xiao's professional eyes, he could see that the small rocket launchers would at most leave a burn mark on the wall. The wall was completely built according to the standards of a fortress, and the cost was extremely high.
A huge Dark Net logo was painted on the wall with red paint, as well as the new name of the city.
Bennett's Fallout Shelter Number One!
The helicopter flew over the wall and saw all kinds of construction machines in the city rumbling in operation, cleaning the roads and abandoned buildings. Countless workers in gray overalls were busy like ants, laying the foundations for new buildings and planning the layout of the city. Piles of building materials were piled up in the open. There were steel bars, bricks, wood, and all kinds of industrial building materials. It was like a super large construction site.
"The fallout shelter actually uses its own name." Han Xiao patted Bennett's shoulder and sighed. "I didn't expect you to be an old b * stard."
Bennett slapped the hand on his shoulder away and turned his head. "Let's go. Follow me to the meeting of the upper management."
Han Xiao was surprised. "What does the meeting have to do with me?"
Bennett shook his head and laughed. "You're also one of the upper management."
Han Xiao blinked.
Bennett covered his mouth and coughed. "I can guarantee that you'll become a member of the upper management … You won't disappoint me, right?"
The Dark Net had recently restructured the upper management. The top management was the group of founders, and Bennett was one of them. Below them were the various upper management members.
"What are you saying?" Han Xiao said with a serious expression. "When have I not disappointed you?"
Bennett did not know whether to laugh or cry as he led the way. Han Xiao also saw the construction of the shelter up close.
I have invested a lot of resources, and the progress is pretty good. I expect to be able to build the prototype within a year. The layout of the shelter is divided into a few aspects: living measures, defense measures, and resource measures. There must be enough infrastructure to meet the basic needs of the residents, and we also need to plant livestock for our own production and use to form an internal ecological system. Even if a war breaks out in the outside world, the shelter will be able to sustain itself. The final defense measure is naturally to fend off all kinds of enemies. "
Boom!
In front of them, there was an abandoned building that was being demolished. The collapse raised a cloud of dust.
Han Xiao brushed away the dust on his face and clicked his tongue. "Just this shelter alone cost you a fortune."
"The resources of the Six Nations can only support the construction of two or three shelters," Bennett said with his hands behind his back, "My plan is to build at least three to five shelters in each continent."
"That's a sky-high price."
"If we can preserve the spark of our civilization, this wealth is not worth mentioning."
Han Xiao exclaimed, "Wow, I think I see holy light coming out of the back of your head."
Bennett's mouth twitched.
Along the way to the brand new fortress, the upper echelons of the Dark Net were all gathered in the conference hall. As soon as Bennett and Han Xiao entered, about a dozen people stood up and bowed slightly to show respect, nodding at him.
Black Phantom had shown his strength, and he was now one of the top forces in the Dark Net. With Bennett's guarantee, the upper management here all acknowledged Han Xiao's position as equal.
The upper management reported the construction progress of Shelter One one by one. After Bennett finished, he said, "Shelter One has been proven to be feasible. The news has been released, and many wanderers have come here, hoping to be protected. With residents joining, the construction speed can be increased, and they will be provided with work opportunities. Personally participating in the construction of the shelter will help to build a cohesive force. In the next few months, as the news of the shelter spreads further, more wanderers will come."
"The construction of the shelter should be done sooner rather than later. I've decided to start the construction of Shelter Two and Three immediately."
The upper management looked at each other, and someone asked hesitantly, "Mr. Bennett, isn't this too rushed? Why don't we wait for Shelter One to be completed …"
"Because we don't have much time. We have to speed up."
"There must be a person in charge of each shelter. Who will be in charge of Shelter Two?"
"Senna will be in charge of Shelter Two." Bennett said. Senna was the current chief director of the Dark Net, and she was unanimously elected as the spokesperson by a group of old directors. Of course, no one objected to this decision.
"Black Phantom will be in charge of Shelter Three."
Han Xiao raised his eyebrows. He did not expect Bennett to trust him so much and directly let him be in charge of an entire shelter. The scope of power was very large.
The upper management was in an uproar.
Black Phantom had just been promoted to the upper management, but he was already in charge of such an important matter. His qualifications were not good enough. Many of the directors wanted to refute, but Bennett had seen through their thoughts long ago. One sentence from him made them speechless.
"Shelters need extremely strong combat power to be in charge. If you are confident that your subordinates are stronger than Black Phantom, then stand up and object."
Stronger than Black Phantom? The directors smiled bitterly. In the entire Dark Net, other than Bennett and two other retired old men, no one could beat this new Black Phantom.
Since no one objected, Bennett announced the end of the meeting. At the same time, he pulled Han Xiao to a private meeting room and exchanged a few words. Then, Bennett made a prompt decision to stop arguing with Han Xiao about whether he should be paid for being the person in charge. He pulled the topic back on track, and under Han Xiao's disdainful gaze, he showed the detailed plan of Shelter Three without blushing.
"The construction team of Shelter Three has basically been formed, and the location will be Graymetal Ruins …"
Han Xiao felt that the name sounded familiar. He suddenly remembered that his secret base was in Graymetal Ruins. What a coincidence.
Bennett explained the general direction. Han Xiao's mission was to be in charge of the site and supervise the construction team. If there were any threats nearby, he had full authority to deal with them. There was only one requirement, and that was to build the shelter well.
After listening to a long and boring introduction, Han Xiao was so bored that he almost dozed off. Then, a notification appeared on the interface, and he woke up with a start.
You have activated a new faction [Dark Net Organization]. Affiliation [Blood Pact Society] detected. Relationship: Respected (4450/6000) – [Number One Assassin Leaderboard]
[Dark Net Organization] Initial Relationship: Friendly (2225/3000) – [Upper Management]
Joining the upper management of the Dark Net was because of his personal relationship with Bennett. If a player wanted to have a high voice in the Dark Net Organization, they would have to at least be Respected. If they wanted to become an upper management, they would have to at least be Revered.
You have triggered the Grade A Main Mission [Shelter Plan – Shelter Three]!
Seeing the mission requirement, Han Xiao smiled. Just as he had guessed, becoming the person in charge of Shelter Three was a construction mission. The type of mission was also a series of missions. It was divided into dozens of requirements, and the construction blueprint was divided into many parts. Every time a part of the construction was completed, it would be considered as completing one of the requirements. The requirements included defense measures, residential housing, infrastructure, construction, cleaning up the ruins, reclamation, farming, and so on. It was equivalent to transforming a city.
The mission notification said that if there were any unexpected situations, he would have to be responsible for dealing with them, and his rating would be increased or decreased accordingly.
The more requirements he completed, the higher his rating would be, and the final reward would be based on his rating.
The players did this main mission through the normal way, but the situation was completely different. The players had to receive different missions from the bottom-level or middle-level characters, and they had to participate in the construction of the main mission through different side missions. What Han Xiao received was the overall mission that combined all the side missions into one. This was the benefit of being a core participant. It was extremely convenient to be in charge of the overall situation, and he knew what he had to do clearly.
His rewards were also incomparable to the other players. The scattered missions that the players did would all be included in his supervision of the construction of the shelter, indirectly completing his requirements. As mentioned before, even if it was the same mission, it would vary from person to person. Han Xiao received this mission with many benefits through his special connections on the Dark Net.
"But there are some problems …" Bennett coughed and said, "Because of the lack of funds, the resources are all concentrated in Shelter One and Shelter Two, so there might be fewer people following you to build Shelter Three …"
"How many?" Han Xiao suddenly had a bad feeling. There were tens of thousands of workers in Shelter One, so it should not be too few.
"About a thousand …"
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and had a 'are you kidding me?' look on his face.
Bennett was embarrassed. "The main problem is that the liquidity is not in place. You only have this amount of people in the first month. We will hire more people to help you later."
Han Xiao picked up Cub Bear, who was sleeping on his lap, and threw it at Bennett. Cub Bear fell onto the sofa with its four legs in the air. It opened its eyes in a daze.
"Hit him." Han Xiao pointed.
Bear Cub blinked in confusion and stared at his finger for a long time before understanding. It turned around and sat down, slapping Bennett on the left side of his face.
Bennett smiled bitterly, rubbed Bear Cub's furry butt, and pushed it aside. "I know it's difficult, but I can only trouble you. No one else has this ability."
Han Xiao pondered for a while, rolled his eyes, and nodded. "Don't worry, in a month, I will be able to build a prototype similar to your shelter."
Bennett had very low requirements for Shelter Three. As long as it could stabilize and complete the cleaning of the ruins within a month, it would be enough. He felt that Han Xiao was just talking nonsense, so he did not take it to heart.
"Right, I have one more request," Han Xiao said.
"What?"
Han Xiao laughed. "Shelter Three needs to use my name."
