Chapter 1410 - You Need A Guide (2/2)
Jiang Chen did not speak, but directly opened his watch, tapped a few buttons on the holographic screen, and a map of the Nevada desert appeared in front of them.
“This is…” When Li Wang looked at the map and the red area in the center of the map, he frowned slightly.
“This area is located east of Las Vegas, and the West Coast Meteorological Monitoring Center is nearby,” Jiang Chen continued as he focused on Li Wang, “Send a power armor team there and I’ll recommend a guide for you. You have only one task, and that is to find the West Coast Meteorological Monitoring Center and control it!”
…
Inside the cold and humid room of the dungeon of Outpost Town.
Black Skull’s hands and feet were chained down by shackles. He laid on the bed lethargically as he zoned out staring at the outlines of the ceiling.
Perhaps it was because he was very cooperative when he explained the whole story, the sensible NAC did not shoot him. Instead, NAC threw him into the dungeon. Every day, two tubes of nutrient supplies were tossed in from the small window while he rotted away in here.
Sometimes he really thought that it would be better to end himself here instead of staring at the dark ceiling.
But now, he heard footsteps from outside the door.
Is it time for food?
Black Skull murmured in his mind and thought that the interval between the two meals was a bit short.
Just as he was about to get up and walk to the door, the black iron door suddenly opened slowly.
He stared blankly at the ray of light that leaked through the crack of the door. For some reason, he felt an excitement that made him want to cry. The soldier who appeared at the door ignored the expression on his face, flipped through the list in his hand, and glanced at him emotionlessly.
“Black Skull.”
“Yes.” After he swallowed, Black Skull nodded vigorously. “It’s me, what’s wrong?”
“A certain NAC unit is about to go to the desert for a mission. It needs a guide who is familiar with the Nevada Desert.” Without any nonsense, the soldier closed the list, threw it on the side table, and concisely said, “You now have an atonement. Even the opportunity for meritorious service, whether you can grasp it depends on your own performance.”
“NO PROBLEM! I GOT IT!” Black Skull exulted. “I have lived in the Nevada Desert for more than ten years, I can even walk to Las Vegas with my eyes closed!”
As long as he could get out, he was willing to do anything! Even if he had to fight a Death Claw, he would not even frown for a single second. The days inside the dark room was inhumane. In that dark, cold and humid environment, even a determined person would go crazy after a while!
The soldier nodded, and said to the guard next to him, “Give him this collar. You can release the shackles.”
After he put on the electronic collar, the feeling of explosives hanging around his neck made Black Skull quite uncomfortable, but he also knew that he had no choice.
He followed the soldier to an office where a high-ranking officer sat. As for how Black Skull determined his ranking, it was from the Knight Medal that hung in front of his chest…
“The target we are searching for is the West Coast Meteorological Monitoring Center. The only information now is that it may appear in the eastern desert of Las Vegas, about two hundred meters deep underground. To put it bluntly, even though it is called the Meteorology Monitoring Center, it is actually a pre-war military facility.”
The officer then paused, looked at the black predator in front of him, and continued to speak, “I’ll just say that as long as you can bring us there, all your crimes will be forgiven. Based on how long it will take you to complete this mission, we may even pay out a hefty reward.”
