747 Clearwater Nuclear Power Plan (1/2)

Leaning against the wall of the elevator, Jiang Chen quietly waited to descend to the bottom.

The backup power system was still in operation, and that elevator might be the only electrical system in the resort that was still operational. The ”black shadow” he previously saw in the basement still lingered in his mind.

He didn't call Lin Lin to come up the mountain, but he chose to enter the nuclear power plant to first explore the area. The black shadow's attack was simply impossible to counter. Even the life detection device could not find its trace of it. Jiang Chen really didn't have the confidence to take care of a person who had no fighting power while protecting himself.

Since it could be wounded by laser bullets, he could already rule out ghosts and other things. However, Jiang Chen ultimately still didn't believe that ghosts and demons existed in the world, but he still couldn't understand what he saw.

”Ding—”

His thoughts were interrupted by the bell of the elevator. Jiang Chen stood still and raised the rifle in his hand.

The elevator slowly opened.

However, to his surprise, this nuclear power plant wasn't empty.

”This is the Clearwater Nuclear Power Plant. Put down your weapon, buddy.”

After the elevator opened, six riflemen stood in the doorway and their muzzles pointed straight at him. Jiang Chen responded immediately and aimed his rifle. Although a gun looked laughable compared to six guns, there were ten Hummingbird drones behind him.

”Give me a reason to put down my weapon.” Jiang Chen didn't have any intentions of putting his weapon down.

The signal underground was poor, and the drone terminal deployed on the ground couldn't get in touch with the underground drone. However, there were drone backpacks that could be used as a temporary terminal for drones.

Looking at the ten squeaky drones, Zhao Tianyu, who stood in front of Jiang Chen, felt a chill down his spine. Disregarding how many bullets the kinetic skeleton would be able to resist, he didn't know how to deal with the drones.

”Okay... You can hold your weapon, but if you're not looking for trouble, please state your intentions.”

After weighing the pros and cons, Zhao Tianyu made a compromise. After all, being able to come here alive meant he wasn't a simple character.

Jiang Chen's eyes focused on their hands for a moment.

They were all PK2000s, although they looked old. Since they were using this type of PAC automatic rifle, commonly found in fallout shelters or pre-war military facilities, Jiang Chen immediately knew their identities. It seemed that what Mole said wasn't necessarily completely true; the one hundred plus people who entered the resort to explore five years ago hadn't all died.

At least, the six people standing in front of him hadn't died.

”I'm a mercenary and I'm employed by the director of Fallout Shelter 079 and came to investigate your... cause of death. I just didn't expect that you are all still alive.” To gain their trust, Jiang Chen made up a lie.

The six people looked at each other before a bitter smile formed on their faces.

”Still alive? About twenty are left.”

Zhao Tianyu lowered his rifle and the five subordinates who stood next to him also followed suit. Since their visitor was friendly, there was no point in aiming their guns at each other. Jiang Chen also did the same, however, he didn't retract the drones he was with.

”So...may I come in?” Jiang Chen pointed to the outside of the elevator.

”Of course, we can go to our station. Please come with me.” Zhao Tianyu welcomed him.

After the elevator was a hall with the characters ”Clearwater Nuclear Power Plant.” After passing through the hall, in front of an arch, Zhao Tianyu pressed his fingerprint on a scanner and opened the nuclear power plant buried under several hundred meters.

Finally, as he entered the interior of the Clearwater Nuclear Power Plant, Jiang Chen shockingly discovered something.

It wasn't a nuclear power plant; it was a small fallout shelter!

Large and small tents were set up inside in the empty halls, and in the back were the living quarters of the workers. Although Clearwater Nuclear Power Plant was designed to operate on its own for at least 50 years without maintenance, it was designed with a living space for 500 people.

There were more than 500 people crowded there - at least a thousand people.

”These are the aboriginals of the nuclear power plant... There should be no problems referring to them by this name.” Zhao Tianyu walked forward with Jiang Chen and introduced him.
