Chapter 293: Safe Distance

On the spacious transport elevator stood ten figures.

”What is this?” Han Junhua squeezed the tiny green crystal as she asked.

”A crystal. Combined with the special energy extraction device, it can replace the nuclear fusion core.” Jiang Chen stared at the wall rapidly descending outside the elevator and answered nonchalantly.

”It is hard to believe how much energy can store in this tiny piece,” Han Junhua gazed at the reflection on the green crystal as she muttered to herself.

Jiang Chen glanced at her and didn't respond.

Behind him were eight soldiers in kinetic skeletons. They were all on alert for any possible dangers.

In contrast, Jiang Chen looked rather relaxed.

Ten minutes ago, he and Han Junhua reached an agreement.

He previous thought a girl that completely lacked human nature would demand a lot of benefits, but the after fact proved him wrong.

Although she had proposed this agreement, it was much more beneficial to the Fishbone base.

The agreement was as follows:

The door of the fallout shelter will remain permanently open. By name, they surrender to the Fishbone base. Fallout shelter 027 only maintains their existing security force and will no longer expand its military size. Fishbone base will stop invading and maintain a safe distance with fallout shelter 027.

The two parties will engage in trade. The Fishbone base will be responsible for providing energy as well as other supplies necessary for the fallout shelter to function while the fallout shelter will become a research facility, providing technical support to the Fishbone base.

At the same time, the Fishbone base will build a camp above the fallout shelter, used to accommodate the excess residents in the fallout shelter. The fallout shelter will maintain its high degree of autonomy to the camp. The Fishbone Base will be responsible for the camp's security.

Also, Jiang Chen will send a representative and several workers to be stationed in fallout shelter 027. They will be responsible for communication and recording necessary supplies.

Fallout shelter 027 will also send a representative to Fishbone base and conduct a long-term assessment of the human rights rules in Fishbone base. After enough trust is built, fallout shelter 027 will gradually become part of Fishbone base.

Although the formality of the situation was no longer important, since an agreement has been reached, fallout shelter 027 became a subsidiary of the Fishbone base.

A subsidary that maintained a safe distance away.

A slight feeling of falling came from under his feet as the elevator reached the ground.

”I don't understand. This agreement seems to be disadvantageous for you?” Jiang Chen looked at the light gradually appearing as he asked.

It practically meant they became part of the Fishbone base.

The only difference other than being occupied was, Fishbone base's soldiers were not permitted to enter the fallout shelter. But since they controlled everything, there was no difference between going inside or not.

”The purpose of establishing the fallout shelter is to maintain and preserve the flame of civilization. Once conditions turn back to normal, re-establish the colony on top of the ruins. The purpose was not to return to the surface and establish dominance on the victims.”

If the Fishbone base could replace fallout shelter 027 and execute its mission, and they do have more ability to complete the mission, there is nothing wrong with fallout shelter 027 becoming part of the Fishbone base.

Of course, it is on the premises that they can maintain their promise and ensure the freedom and safety of all residents in the fallout shelter.

But this trust could only be established with time.

”Your explanation is rather unique. That's not what Shi Yongtian told me.” Jiang Chen smiled.

”It was my mistake to send him to the surface,” Han Junhua admitted honestly.

If the PAC image has already collapsed in the hearts of the survivors, it was comical to send a PAC officer to persuade the survivors. But she was not to be blamed. Who would have guessed this was how the war ended?

Once elevator became stationary, Jiang Chen signaled the soldiers to stay there as Han Junhua and him walked to the gear-shaped door.

Han Junhua pulled off a cable from the door and connected it to her EP.

”How was the negotiation?” Tian Feng asked anxiously.

”Successful, open the door.”

When he heard Han Junhua's instruction, Tian Feng felt relieved as he signaled the worker in the control room to open the fallout shelter door.
