Chapter 815 Night Talk (Part 1)

It was late at night, and the night street in Area 51, a factory area located at the junction of the middle layer of the western layer and the bottom layer, was still bustling just after 2 a.m.

In the distance, the surfaces of the columns flashed red from time to time. In the night sky, huge columns stood in the west and extended to the edge of the bottom layer. All the factories in the city were here.

These waste treatment pipes will liquefy all the waste inside and then discharge it directly into the gully through the underground sewage pipes.

There were some strange smells mixed in the air, with the pungent smell of metal and the aroma of food. Almost all the people gathered here were factory workers. At this time, there were constant curses from the snack stalls on the street.

Many factories have stopped working because of this black market transaction. Most of the workers, if they are not skilled workers, only have temporary contracts. They go to work with the time-limited work badges issued by the factory. The settlement is made on the same day after the work is completed. Most of the people who come to the factory to seek a way out have only received primary school education and can read and count. In such a place, only those with good brains can climb up, or those who know how to curry favor with the powerful can sign a long-term contract with the company's factories, and only with a long-term contract can there be corresponding welfare guarantees.

Every day, some daily necessities and mechanical supplies needed by the whole city will be produced from the west, directly transported to the middle or lower northern or southern shipping warehouses through underground logistics pipelines, and then distributed throughout the city through some mutant couriers.

Most of the workers who are complaining now are those who cannot go to work tomorrow. If they cannot go to work for a day, they will earn less money for a day, so many people get together on such nights to complain, drink some cheap wine and eat something.

At a fried food stand on the corner of the street, Tamai smiled and ordered a table of dishes. In front of him was a middle-aged man of about his age, over 90 years old, bald, with pointed ears, some splashes of colored paint on his face, dark skin, and a pair of seemingly shrewd eyes that were always suspicious.

The man's name was Zedu, a technical consultant of the Photoelectric Conversion Material Factory, and an old acquaintance of Tamai.

"What is it, Tamai, just tell me the truth."

"You have to agree to it before I can tell you, and you have to sign a contract first. It's not a bad thing. After it's done, you may be able to go to Section 10."

Zedu smiled bitterly and took a sip of wine. Tamai was able to enter the factory where Zedu was and find him yesterday at noon with a search warrant from Section 5, but he was busy at the time, so the two agreed to wait for Zedu to finish his work and come here to drink. Tamai waited until late at night before Zedu came.

"Think about it, I believed your words before, and I ended up like this."

Zedu's voice was slightly dissatisfied.

Tamai smiled helplessly.

"Who knows what's wrong with that old man? He stole the control of the artificial sun and openly challenged Congress to establish a city-state. The past is over. Don't mention it again."

Zedu snorted coldly. In order to save his life, Zedu unconditionally taught his skills to the 10th department, and finally saved his life. However, he was not allowed to conduct research on light nuclear for life, and was not allowed to mention the past to anyone. He had to report to the 1st department every month.

"This time, a maintenance technician is needed. Your skills should not be rusty, and it is also a little compensation from me to you."

"Safety!"

Zedu said, and Tamayi scratched his head.

"It should be guaranteed."

"Don't say should, it must."

Zedu looked at Tamayi with dissatisfaction, staring at the contract whose content could not be seen on the light and shadow screen next to him. It was an orange file, which should not be a simple matter, but once signed, if he did not participate, there might be trouble. After hesitating for a while, Zedu signed the contract.

After a while, Zedu widened his eyes and looked at the contents of the contract in disbelief. There was nothing big, only one clause, the investigation outside the barrier.

"Who are you going with?"

"Gene."

Zedu's face became solemn.

"That's how it is. Since we have signed it, there is no choice. Mr. Gene wants me to help form a team to investigate outside the barrier. Although it is an investigation, I don't know what to do."

Zedu gritted his teeth, drank half a glass of wine in one gulp, and sighed.

"I know, I will prepare. As for who you want to find? Don't bring a burden with you. After all, the world outside is not simple. I have been there more than 70 years ago."

Tamayi nodded. He knew this, but Zedu never revealed what was outside, because after returning, he was silent.

Tamayi listed the occupations of the personnel needed for the investigation outside the barrier, 2 vehicle maintenance technicians, 5 tactical team members, 1 doctor, 3 detectives, plus Tamayi himself, Gene and Tang Rao, a total of 13 people, this is the most ideal configuration.

"What benefits will you get after you come back?"

"I'm not sure about that. I'll talk to Mr. Gene slowly after I find everyone. I'll go find the members of the tactical team tomorrow."

Zedu looked at Tamayi in confusion.

"Has anyone been selected?"

"Based on the mutants' physical data, you can screen them, but it's actually useless. The top S-class mutants usually have a data value of around 2000. It's just that the actual combat ability, environmental adaptability and other comprehensive considerations, only the Lightning Skeletons are somewhat useful. But if something goes wrong, we still have two top fighters here."

Zedu was even more confused.

"Who else but Mr. Jean?"

"Tang Rao."

A peculiar apartment building, each floor is a 20-meter square, and each floor is stacked corner to edge. It has an oversized 400 square meters of space and balconies in four directions, allowing for all-weather sunlight.

The 20-and-a-half-story building is located in a beautiful small garden. On the balcony covered with vines on the top half floor, Li Chu is making food on the stove nearby.

"I've been here several times but I haven't seen you. You bastard, aren't you avoiding me on purpose?"

Gene held up a bottle of wine and touched it with Tang Rao. They both took a big sip and Tang Rao yawned.

"How is that possible? It's just that I happened to be away."

Tang Raomi looked at Li Chu with a smile.

"Why are you there every time I come, but not when Gene comes?"

"Okay, okay, don't say a few words. There are still a lot of things to deal with tomorrow. Now the polls have changed. Nearly half of the people think it's not easy for the Phoebes family."

Gene nodded, and Li Chu came over with a plate of peanuts. After sitting down, the three of them started to drink.

"You are going out at the beginning of next month. Have the personnel arrangements been made?"

Li Chu asked.

"Leave it to Tamai."

Tang Rao was a little surprised, but said immediately.

"It's good to leave it to that boy. It shouldn't be too boring along the way. But Jean, it should take half a month just to go out and determine the route. From the plateau where we are, go directly to the Tianpu University in the center of the Pacific Ocean. Damn, it’s a journey of about 20,000 kilometers across the Eurasian continent. Where did you go during those months when you were missing?”

Jean shook his head, because the route they chose was the route Jean took to the Great Pit of Punishment to bring back a large number of mimics. However, on this route, Jean disappeared for a while. At that time, they could only wait. There is no way to send out any exploration team. After all, as gods, they cannot die.

Eventually Gene returned with a large number of mimics, enough for more than 100 years at the time.

"I have already told that boy Noah that he will bring back at least 2,000 tons of supplies this time. He is improving the vehicle."

As Li Chu said this, Tang Rao stared at him sideways.

"It's us who are doing the hard work out there."

"I know, I know. I wish you two in advance to leave early and come back early."

Li Chu said, raising his wine, and the three of them took a sip.

There are too many dangers outside the barrier, and this operation is very difficult and dangerous. Although Jean and Tang Rao can bring back enough supplies, the efficiency must be lower.

"About two months is about right."

Tang Rao said and Gene smiled and nodded.

"If time permits, I hope you can go to North and South America. Over the years, some telegrams have been detected from time to time. After all, that land once had the strongest United States. Our city was founded on the Himalayas. I I don’t think it was the last stronghold of mankind. If we had chosen to go to North America at that time, maybe we wouldn’t have come here.”

Tang Rao immediately smiled bitterly.

"There was no way. At that time, Witte's students mistakenly entered a military base in North Africa and were detained. We had to fight all the way in. The situation was also a bit tense. After all, the launch rocket of the space station was in Europe at the time. If we went to North Africa, As for America, I might have missed it, but I still missed it in the end. Do you remember what happened that night when we watched the last rocket leaving the earth?”

Gene smiled and nodded. At that time, the eight of them were desperate. Not only they, but also a large number of people who stayed in the rocket launch base, watched the rocket take off in despair. At that time, there was an outbreak of large-scale diseases and the impact of the earth on the earth. Covered by the dust generated by the asteroid impact, everything was chaotic. Some people immediately began to prepare to establish a stronghold in some underground facilities in the city, but it basically could not last three months.

A moment of despair caused all mankind to embark on a difficult journey of survival. In the end, Tang Rao proposed that there is an extremely secret military base in the Himalayas. There is a complete gene bank of animals and plants and a lot of scientific equipment. Only that Place is the last hope.

However, when they arrived at this so-called last hope base, the eight of them were surprised because it was already overcrowded.

"I dreamed about the past in the market recently. I don't know why, but I always feel uncomfortable, because maybe we will see that era again one day, because we have become gods and gained eternal life and immortal bodies. Human beings What will the next era look like? How can we continue to survive?

Li Chu's tone was slightly low, and Tang Rao sighed.

"The key lies in the Sky Space Kingdom. If we can get information on planets suitable for human habitation from their hands and make complete preparations, our huge Noah warship can set sail. Now those plant-like plants have begun to climb the barrier. Yes, in the monitoring report of Section 3 this month, it has reached a height of 100 meters.”

"That fast?"

Jean asked, Tang Rao nodded, and Li Chu smiled helplessly.

"When one day they adapt to the light, they will definitely break through the barrier." m.
