Chapter 367: Recently at the Camp

Translator: _Min_Editor: Caron_

The area inside the camp walls more than doubled and extended from outside the square to the bus stop. The four corners of the camp had patrol towers ten meters high. Each of the towers was equipped with four 20mm cannons. The large caliber stationary machinegun could not only easily rip Death Claw's armor, but it could even do damage to Roshan's high-density fat. Of course, the machinegun was primarily targeted towards the Roshan, since the Death Claw was limited in number and hard to hit, while the Roshan could bite with eyes closed.

Compared to when Jiang Chen left, the changes inside the base were also astonishing.

The tent area was messy as the ghetto was removed and replaced by rows of concrete apartment buildings. Because of the improvements in living conditions, the mood of the fallout shelter residents was more pleasant - at least few people had despair on their faces while walking on the streets.

Based on the directions Jiang Chen gave before he left, Xu Lu built another lab on the surface. However, due to lack of experimental equipment, the lab on the surface couldn't be put into service and most of the experiments were still conducted underground.

Jiang Chen didn't have to wait too long before Wang Zhaowu and Xu Lu came to greet him.

After some catching up, Jiang Chen began to ask about the status of the camp.

”… The number of stationed troops increased from 80 to 200. To adjust for the lack of personnel, a new drone control terminal was established in the camp with an attack fleet of 400 drones being deployed.” Wang Zhaowu reported the defense status of the base.

”Have there been any security concerns?” Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows.

”The activity of the zombies from Wanghai is increasing. Also, mutants are becoming more active. Last month, there was an incident where a Death Claw attack caused 14 casualties…” Wang Zhaowu lowered his head in guilt.

An incident like this occurring was completely his fault. The Songjiang area didn't have any Death Claw nests, so no Death Claw should've been active in the area - this was almost common sense to the Wanghai survivors. It was enough of a coincidence that Jiang Chen encountered a Mother of Death Claw last time, but no one expected that another Death Claw would be active in the area.

”Raise your head, Death Claw attacks weren't your fault. Your responsibility is to react and handle this type of emergency situation. But from what I see, you are doing very well.” Jiang Chen scanned the walls surrounding the base.

Wang Zhaowu raised his head and looked sincerely at Jiang Chen.

”Also, do you have any more intel from the last explosion at the camp?”

Jiang Chen had a sense that the death of the elder man and the Golden Apple might be connected somehow.

”Not for the time being, but we found a digitalized human body on the adjacent block. While there was no direct evidence linking him and the explosion, based on the time of destruction, the body was destroyed on the day of the explosion,” Wang Zhaowu said.

[Digitalized human?]

A frown appeared on Jiang Chen's face.

”Do you have pictures?”

Wang Zhaowu nodded, brought out an image from his EP and passed it to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen's pupils gazed at the distinct figure.

[Lin Chaoen.]

Although the face was barely recognizable, from the remaining few facial traits, Jiang Chen could still recognize his identity.

”We also found a laser sword and a dagger nearby.”

”Mhmm, I see.” Jiang Chen nodded.
