747 Clearwater Nuclear Power Plan (2/2)
From Zhao Tianyu, Jiang Chen immediately understood why he didn't see any corpses at the resort and the owners of the luxury cars in the garage didn't show any signs of leaving. Originally, those people didn't flee to fallout shelters several kilometers away when the nuclear war broke out. Instead, they directly hid in the nuclear power plant.
When the nuclear war broke out, people with a conscience didn't keep the strategic reserve secret; they hid inside with a large group of despairing survivors.
”Originally, these workers' dormitories were occupied by Mud Crabs. We cleared the area after we came.”
”Even the most optimistic will become depressed after living underground for a long time. These people aren't the easiest to get along with, but they also need us to maintain order, and they share their extra food with us.”
”Food? Where do they get food from?” Jiang Chen confused.
”Mushrooms, algae, and seaweed are all suitable for growth here.” Zhao Tianyu grinned. ”The nuclear power plant's deuterium refinery has a pipeline that connects with the sea. Not only can it obtain seaweed, but there are a few small fish occasionally.”
Planting mushrooms at a nuclear power plant was certainly a different taste of life.
However, Jiang Chen didn't mock their food and remained silent along the way. Avoiding speaking was the best way to disguise himself.
At the end of the workers' dormitories, two guards stood at the entrance in the corner. This place was Fallout Shelter 079 Exploration Team's station. After entering the so-called command room, Zhao Tianyu moved a chair over for Jiang Chen.
”Let's sit.”
Jiang Chen sat in the chair and leaned on the rifle next to him.
Zhao Tianyu sat across from him, fingers crossed on the table, and asked Jiang Chen seriously:
”Does the Fog Demon still exist?”
”If you're referring to that shadow with an axe, I think he's still here,” Jiang Chen said.
A bitter smile appeared on Zhao Tianyu's face.
”Sure enough... can you tell me how you escaped it?”
”He sneaked from behind. I noticed then I shot him.”
Although Jiang Chen said that in an understatement, Zhao Tianyu still felt the danger in his words.
”Good lord, you certainly have a few moves. We had 117 brothers at one time, but only twenty of them made it in here. If I'm not mistaken, those brothers running down the hill must've all died.”
”How are you so certain?” Jiang Chen asked.
”It's easy to guess. If they returned to the town alive, the director wouldn't have waited for so many years to collect our bodies,” Zhao Tianyu said, ”What's your plan now?”
After a moment of silence, Jiang Chen said.
”Take you back and bring these people along the way.”
It was inconvenient for him to transfer these nuclear fusion generators and nuclear fuel, and those who depended on nuclear energy would certainly not allow him to move those generators. However, if he could bring them to the outside, he believe they would be happy to give up this nuclear power plant.
”We can't get there.” Zhao Tianyu shook his head. ”With the Fog Demon guarding outside, people are going to die. The thick fog is his territory. In his territory, we'll die.”
”What's this so-called Fog Demon?” Jiang Chen frowned.
When he heard Jiang Chen asking this question, Zhao Tianyu let out a long sigh.
”It's said that he used to be a person who belonged to Clearwater Nuclear Power Plant.”
After a short pause, he then continued.
”And he was the one who opened the door and brought these poor people into the nuclear power plant...”
