Previously, the people sent by the Bugla Free State to contact the alliance were Xavier, a salesman from the Firestone Group. This time, a guy who claimed to be the foreign minister suddenly came. Chu Guang didn't know whether his identity was true or false, so he said it after a few polite words. He left it alone.

To be honest, he didn't really like the guys up north.

Especially when rectifying the slums outside Boulder City, the alliance's guards discovered that many gangs had the shadow of the Firestone Group behind them.

Those guys have done a lot of unworthy things under the guise of private companies, and when they encounter trouble, they hide obscenely behind the Free State.

Since the Free State is the "protected state" of the Great Rift Valley, and the latter has military power that is not inferior to that of the Legion and the Enterprise, there is nothing anyone can do against these guys.

The Alliance guard cannot enter the Free State to enforce laws under the eyes of the Great Rift Valley.

And the Firestone Group is also quite smart. It never provokes behemoths such as colleges, legions, and companies. At most, it only conducts business in their vassals or indirectly controlled settlements.

For example, the settlements under the jurisdiction of the Science and Technology Committee, such as the countries in Luoxia Province, or the more prosperous settlements in the eastern provinces, etc.

That guy is like a nasty fly. Those who can swat it to death are not interested, and those who can't reach it really can't swat it.

What puzzled Chu Guang was, even if Norege was really the foreign minister of the Free State, why was it the foreign minister who came this time instead of a representative of the Firestone Group?

The Firestone Group is the real controller of the Free State, and the other party must also know that the Alliance knows this.

Putting on an official vest and running to contact him, Chu Guang couldn't help but wonder if there was some inside story that he didn't know about.

Could it be...

Did the Great Rift Valley give them "advice" again?

Thinking of this, Chu Guang's expression couldn't help but become playful, and he decided to leave the foreign minister alone before he took the initiative to speak, and observe him first.

If we can figure out what their weaknesses are, the initiative will undoubtedly be in the hands of the alliance...

After thinking about this, Chu Guang put Noreg aside for the time being and went to say hello to his real old friends in the alliance.

What surprised him was that this time he actually met Luo Luo, a member of the corporate council and the major shareholder of Silver Wing Group.

forever.

This impressive middle-aged man first expressed his gratitude to Chu Guang for Luo Hua's matter, and then revealed a big news to him -

"The Council is not opposed to joining the same cross-regional cooperation organization as the college, especially when it comes to solving the issue of mutant slime mold. We have actually put aside the grudges from a century and a half ago long ago, but they are still thinking about the past... ...If you can convince them, we have no objections and can even assume more responsibilities and obligations."

After hearing this, Chu Guang was extremely surprised, but it didn't show on his face. He just smiled and nodded.

"I'm glad that the council has such a stance. I will do my best to convince them." Luo Yong smiled and raised his glass.

Afterwards, the two of them exchanged pleasantries, and Chu Guang left and went elsewhere.

Just when he was about to walk around the banquet hall, the master of ceremonies in charge of the banquet suddenly walked up to him quickly and whispered in a low voice.

"Dear Mr. Manager, there is a guest who claims to be the manager of Vault 70 and would like to meet with you... We cannot confirm his identity. What do you think would be a better way to deal with it?"

Vault 70?

Upon hearing this, Chu Guang was stunned for a moment.

Although there were occasional shelter residents wandering in the wasteland who joined the alliance before, most of them came from shelters that had been abandoned many years ago.

This is also my first time visiting the Alliance as a shelter manager. Not only was the master of ceremonies undecided, there was also an expression of surprise on his face. "What's his name?"

The master of ceremonies said respectfully.

"He calls himself Sun Yuechi."

Never heard of this name at all. But this

It's also normal.

Vault No. 70 was never discovered by the Alliance.

Chu Guang thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Invite him to the lounge, I'll come later." The master of ceremonies nodded.

"As commanded."

Spacious lounge.

Sun Yuechi, who was sitting on the sofa, frequently looked at the clock on the wall, and from time to time glanced at the VM worn on his arm, his expression looking a little awkward.

Although he was ready to contact the alliance manager, he was not 100% sure about what kind of person he was and what his attitude towards other shelters was.

But for now, they are the most reliable in this area.

After waiting restlessly for a full quarter of an hour, heavy footsteps came from outside the door of the lounge.

Sun Yuechi subconsciously sat up straight. At this moment, the door to the lounge opened and a man wearing power armor walked in.

Seeing the blue power armor, Sun Yuechi was slightly surprised. While getting up from the sofa, he blurted out subconsciously.

"This is Severn Willard's power armor?"

Before in the square, he only glanced at it from a distance and did not see clearly the details on the appearance of the blue power armor.

Seeing that the man in front of him recognized the origin of the power armor he was wearing, Chu Guang looked at him twice more in surprise. "You know him?"

"Of course I know him...ah, but it's not the kind of knowledge you understand. I just know some things about him unilaterally."

Seeing Chu Guang's surprised expression, Sun Yuechi immediately realized that he had misunderstood, and then stretched out his right hand and said with a smile, "Please allow me to introduce myself. I am the manager of Shelter No. 70, Sun Yuechi."

"The manager of Vault 404, Chu Guang. You don't have to be so polite. We are all friends on the same front. If you have anything to do, sit down and talk."

After shaking hands with him, Chu Guang invited him to sit down, and then looked curiously at the man who claimed to be the manager of Vault 70.

"Can you tell me where you learned about Severn?" "It's a long story."

As if he was thinking about where to start, Sun Yuechi stopped and thought for a moment, and then slowly continued.

"You should know that in addition to the obligation to accommodate survivors, most shelters also have the task of rebuilding civilization."

Chu Guang nodded, but he didn't know why he mentioned this matter.

Looking at Chu Guang with a questioning expression, Sun Yuechi did not explain immediately, but continued.

"Vault 117 houses a large number of biological experts and their offspring. In addition to carrying out the task of reconstructing the surface after the unblocking date is reached, they also have the task of studying the nest in the center of Qingquan City... After all, in At that time, people believed that mutant slime mold was the main cause of the wasteland, and only by solving the mutant slime mold could we hope to end the wasteland."

Mutated creatures, predators, mutants, and wastelanders driving backwards are all problems that arise in the Wasteland Era.

Only mutant slime mold and nuclear radiation are the real legacy of history. Chu Guang nodded.

"I have heard that there is a resident of Vault 117 in the Alliance, and she is also our chief biologist. She is leading the research on mutant slime mold."

Sun Yuechi smiled and said.

"Really? Mr. Severn Willard would be very pleased if he knew that. In short, our mission is similar to that of Vault 117. In addition to performing the task of reconstruction after the blockade is lifted, we also have the additional task of researching nearby areas. The mission of the Brood.”

"Therefore, after discovering that the Post-War Reconstruction Committee had withdrawn from Qingquan City, we managed to get in touch with the only local Shelter 117 that was still adhering to its mission. After all, cooperation in scientific research is always faster than working behind closed doors."

"Since we opened a hundred years before them, and Severn Willard strictly enforced Vault 117's lockdown strategy, it was usually our people who did it on their behalf.

For the onshore part of the survey, they are more engaged in sample research and data processing. "

"This work has been going on for almost a century. We send people to Qingquan City almost every year to communicate regularly with Vault 117 and exchange information, observe the slime mold fruiting bodies in the center of Qingquan City, and discuss the next research plan."

When he said this, Sun Yuechi's expression showed a hint of regret, as if he was missing an old friend who had passed away. It's also like remembering a bygone era.

"I took over the management authority of the previous manager ten years ago, and just ten years ago, all our communication with Vault 117 came to an abrupt end... That was the wasteland Year 191, you should know that, right?"

Chu Guang said solemnly.

"torch."

Sun Yuechi nodded and said with a complicated expression.

"Yes, when our people arrived again... there was only an empty shelter left. We were unable to take over a shelter that was thousands of kilometers away from us, so we copied some of the data and left it behind. It remains in place and is confident that other nearby shelters will find it once the lockdown is lifted."

When he said this, Sun Yuechi looked at Chu Guang and smiled.

"It seems that my senior's judgment was correct. Not only did you make good use of the resources of that shelter, you even fulfilled their long-cherished wish that they had not completed until their death... Completely solved the mother's nest in the center of Qingquan City."

Hearing this heartfelt compliment, Chu Guang smiled heartily, but soon noticed another detail mentioned in his words.

"You also have a brood nest there?"

"Yes." Sun Yuechi nodded lightly, took out a holographic computer pen, placed it on the coffee table in front of the sofa, and touched it lightly.

button.

The blue holographic light and shadow intertwined into a giant silver disk above the coffee table.

Chu Guang initially thought he was showing him the structure of Vault 70, until a blue planet appeared next to the silver disk.

This is actually a space station!

And combined with the earth and space elevator as reference objects next to it, the scale of this circular space station is not small!

It floats next to the end of the space elevator, circling like a carousel like other space stations, like a satellite city of that elevator.

"This is what the Tianting space station looked like before... As for now, it has become like this." Sun Yuechi stretched out his index finger and slid it gently.

I saw that the blue planet and the space elevator turned into blue light particles and dispersed. The giant silver disk seemed to have fallen into a bottomless water tank, and was then swept away by a Scarlet tentacles stretched out from the darkness and filled every inch of the interior.

Looking at Chu Guang who looked dumb, Sun Yuechi continued in a very soft voice.

"Our shelter is on the seabed, where there are a lot of untapped resources that can be utilized. We originally planned to build a settlement on the seabed that can accommodate 100,000 survivors, and then gradually expand to the sea and shore to complete the seaside province and the south The renaissance of the sea.”

"However, plans can never keep up with changes. During the three-year war, the Tianting space station fell together with the collapse of the space elevator, and landed near us. The huge impact kinetic energy was not inferior to a strategic-level nuclear weapon. Although we evacuated The damage was sustained, but the submarine engineering equipment we placed outside the shelter and the production units that have not yet been deployed were almost completely destroyed..."

"Fuck!"

When he heard this, Chu Guang couldn't help but blurt out something. When he saw Sun Yuechi looking at him blankly, he coughed lightly to cover up his gaffe.

"Sorry, I'm just a little surprised. You guys are so lucky." He couldn't find the right words to describe it for a while.

Such a big space station fell right at the door of the shelter.

Although shelters are built to withstand nuclear weapons, Chu Guang has not heard of any shelters that have actually been hit by nuclear weapons.

Maybe they are the only ones—

A shelter that received a "strategic nuclear weapon" with its face. Sun Yuechi made a helpless expression and shrugged his shoulders.

"We are not the only ones to find a refuge in the deep sea. It falls on us. There is nothing we can do about it. Maybe as you said, we are not very lucky...especially since there are still people sleeping on this space station. Holding an incubating mother's nest."

"When we left the shelter, the three-year war had ended for a century, and the mother nest had also reproduced under the sea for a century, turning most of the space stations into part of the nest. In order to build an undersea settlement, we We tried to recover some materials from it, but what we could recover was quite limited. And even if we were careful enough, the fruiting bodies it hatched still caused us a lot of trouble."

After listening to his words, Chu Guang probably guessed the purpose of his coming here. He must have hoped that he could help them get rid of the mother nest that entangled the space station.

It happened that Chu Guang was also very interested in that space station, so he immediately said with a serious expression.

"No problem! It is our unshirkable responsibility to fight for the future of human civilization. Making mutant slime mold harmless is exactly what we are best at. We will help you solve that trouble!"

"Thank you, I did not misjudge the person," Sun Yuechi glanced at him gratefully, but then quickly showed an expression of shame, "But... the assistance I want to ask you for is not just that, in solving the problem of entanglement in Tianting, We have more imminent trouble before the hornet's nest."

Without waiting for Chu Guang to ask, he paused and continued.

"Like Shelter 117, we are also facing a situation of falling apart." Chu Guang was stunned for a moment and looked at him with a strange expression.

"You...haven't you come out of the shelter a long time ago?"

"That's true, but the issue worthy of debate is not just whether to come out of the shelter. We have differences on many issues... Especially after our people saw the situation in Haiya Province, some of them People are starting to think that allowing humans to evolve into more advanced beings is a way to end the Wasteland Era, even if the church’s approach is a bit extreme.”

Looking at the stunned Chu Guang, the expression on Sun Yuechi's face was half bitter and half unspeakable embarrassment. After all, it's really not something to be proud of.

However, he still tried to make some excuses.

"This is inevitable. After all, our cooperation with Vault 117 has lasted for nearly a century. Our people naturally have a good impression of those who break free and escape..."

"You...do you know what those lunatics did in Haiya Province?" Chu Guang looked at him and asked as his Adam's apple moved.

"I know," Sun Yuechi said with a wry smile, "but what's the use of just knowing it? I'm different from you. You can make those people believe in you unconditionally, but I can only try to convince those who disagree. I think What the Torch Church has done is too extreme. Even though we were friends once, some people think this is a price that must be paid. They even imagine that they can use the technology of the Torch to turn themselves into elves that swim in the sea... What can I say? Okay?"

After a pause, he continued.

"The mistakes were made before I took over Vault 70. Although most of the residents still in the Vault were on my side, the disagreement came from the sea settlement we built on the man-made island in the southern sea. point."

"They formed a federation under the leadership of some Torch supporters, and in fact have broken away from our control and intend to fall into the arms of the Torch Church."

"I have used almost all the means I can, but I still can't stop them from moving closer to the Torch Church. It would be fine if they just plan to destroy themselves, but the problem is that they are not satisfied with this, and plan to take the consequences. of mycelium into the ocean."

After a moment of pause, Sun Yuechi looked at Chu Guang and said solemnly.

"I originally planned to go to the Great Rift Valley to seek help. After all, there are still people from the War Construction Committee there. Maybe they will take action because of the urgency of the situation. However, on the way here, I heard many legends about you and the alliance. , made me change the destination of this trip.”

"Those wastelanders don't have any hope for anything left by the War Construction Committee. They even regard those guys as one of the reasons why the world has become like this. However, only when talking about you and the alliance, they gave High praise... even if not everyone likes you."

This flattery caught him off guard. Chu Guang coughed lightly and said modestly.

"Rumors are always exaggerated than the facts... Compared with those ancient survivor forces, we are still too young."

"But you have accomplished something that none of them have accomplished, haven't you? Besides, I don't just accept hearsay. I have actually observed this settlement for a period of time. You do have something that we don't have... ..not just the technical aspect.”

Looking at Chu Guang seriously, Sun Yuechi continued in a non-joking tone.

"So, I hope to hand over the management authority of Shelter 70 to you, including the settlement we established on the sea." Chu Guang: ".?"

After saying that, Sun Yuechi didn't wait for Chu Guang to answer, then raised the VM on his left arm and pointed his index finger on the screen.

As a line of blue pop-up windows appeared on the VM screen, he selected the confirmation button twice in a row to complete the transfer of administrator rights.

Looking at Sun Yuechi who breathed out a sigh of relief, Chu Guang had a dumbfounded expression on his face. Is this guy serious? ?

Just when Chu Guang came to his senses, this guy had completed all the procedures and happily threw him the key to Vault 70.

The entire permission transfer process was much simpler than imagined. Lines of blue pop-up windows flashed quickly in front of Chu Guang's eyes.

[The authority of the administrator of Vault 70 has been revoked....

[Please go to Vault No. 70 as the new administrator, import the password on any terminal device connected to the main server of the shelter, and update the biometric information to complete the final confirmation process for the transfer of administrator authority. 】

Seeing the dumbfounded Chu Guang, Sun Yuechi smiled with relief, his tone much more relaxed than before.

"I'm ashamed to leave this mess to you, but this is the only thing I can do... Since you said you would unite everyone, then our future also depends on you!"

(Thanks to the leader of "Meaningless Life" for the reward!!!)
