Chapter 1072

The shelters built before the nuclear war were originally intended to preserve the last fire of mankind.

The purpose of all the original managers is to wait until the impact of the Great War is over, and then lead the human race back to the surface life.

However, over a long period of time, countless inheritances inevitably changed the thinking of underground humans.

Some people are obsessed with power, no longer willing to release the residents of the shelter back to the surface, and have access to more novel things to shake the rule.

Some people are afraid of danger, and they are extremely afraid that danger will come overnight and destroy everything that has been painstakingly planned.

Some are afraid of other sanctuaries that are fellow gophers, others are afraid of marauders who have no human form to speak of.

In short, even if the conditions for returning to the surface are met, not many shelters choose to return immediately.

However, the above are basically for wandering shelters.

A truly family-inherited refuge similar to the Horsens Sanctuary focuses on not forgetting the original intention.

Seeing the young manager in front of him ask straight to the point, Kevin was overjoyed and continued to speak calmly.

"We need soldiers from the alliance to be stationed on the protected ground to rebuild. We don't need too many people, but we need a clear asylum attitude from the alliance. In addition, we also need certain technical guidance. You know, after staying underground for a long time, we can go back On the ground, not everyone can adapt quickly, and we need the engineers of the alliance to help formulate some reasonable reconstruction plans to build defense facilities on the ground."

"Yes, we still need to open up a trade route between the alliances, just like Pingtan Beach and the giant city shelter, we also need those fresh green plants, and various gadgets, and we also need an enclave outside the city to build a branch Base, as a way to show residents the benefits of being back on the ground."

The former, while sounding important, is actually not that important.

The Clear Harbor Refuge has withdrawn the homeless legion, and the disintegration of the Southern Suburbs Alliance will put everyone in a period of isolation. Coupled with the damage of modern weapons, there are actually not many threats on the ground. The strength of Sens Refuge can completely handle it.

And the latter is the real purpose of Kevin's trip.

The complete plan to return to the ground was formulated by the first generation of managers as early as two hundred years ago.

The disappearance of the threat of nuclear radiation on the ground and the termination of the nuclear war are only one of the most basic conditions.

How and where to develop on the ground, and whether there is a sustainable resource cycle are more important indicators.

Affected by the metal strike recently, all the starch and protein generators in the shelter are running almost 24 hours a day.

No one can guarantee that there will be a sudden change at any time, causing these machines to go on strike.

Thus, a piece of arable land suddenly became important.

"Well, it sounds like these requests are not too much, but..." Su Mo shook his head: "The alliance is not for charity. We need to know what we can get back after paying these things?"

What do you get back?

Kevin was still thinking about how to discuss more conditions, and he became anxious when he heard this, and said quickly.

"The Horsens Refuge has elite soldiers no less than the Pingtan Army. If we join, we will definitely bring a lot of help to the Western Suburbs Alliance!"

"At least Sunshine Harbor Refuge, yes, they will definitely be afraid of us joining forces!"

"Heh, no less than the Pingtan Army."

This time it was not Su Mo's turn to speak, and Liehu, who had been 'camouflaging' the sculpture, finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Boy, don't think that the manager of Tianyuan in front of you is young, so you just want to fool him!"

"The addition of the Horsens Refuge will not only not make Sunny Harbor afraid, but it will bring a lot of trouble to our western suburbs."

"I don't want to wait until the battle breaks out, and take people all the way to clean your shelter."

It's okay to wipe your ass.

Hearing Liehu's arrogant speech, Kevin only felt a suffocation in his chest.

If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't compare it with the Pingtan Army.

Liehu valued his army's combat effectiveness the most, and he was also clear that the expansion of the Western Suburb Alliance was not a good thing in some cases, especially at this juncture, when it extended its hands and feet to the southern suburbs, the purpose was too obvious.

But turning around, he saw the half-smile expression on Su Mo's face.

Does this young manager also know this?

wrong.

Being able to suppress Liehu and Aldrich, this man must also know the twists and turns.

Slowly negotiating terms from the bottom up no longer seems feasible.

Kevin couldn't help frowning, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Mr. Sumo, Mr. Tiger Hunter, I admit that the Horsens Refuge does need the protection of the Alliance now, but there are not many things we can give at this juncture. There are many. All resources need to be used for construction on the ground, and the rest we have to prepare for emergency plans.”

"I can make the decision and agree to all conditions that are not excessive, and I can even issue an IOU to the league first, and then slowly repay the arrears after this most difficult period is over. We are really difficult, and I hope you can understand."

"Of course, of course I can understand." Facing Kevin's humility, Su Mo couldn't help but smile even more: "IOUs and the like are a bit too much to hurt the feelings between allies, how about this, as the first person in the southern suburbs who wants to Joining the league's sanctuary, we should really give some extra care."

The turning point is rather blunt.

Kevin thought that he needed to beg a few words in a low voice, and then pull some excessive conditions back and forth before the other party would offer the real price.

Now, I didn't expect Su Mo to be so straightforward, and he was pleasantly surprised:

"Tell me, I am the manager of the Horsens Refuge, and I have 100% decision-making power."

Su Mo nodded and said slowly.

"You just said that the Horsens Refuge wants an enclave outside the city, right? It wants to build a sub-base. Since that's the case, see if this works. The location is on our western suburbs, choose mine around the shelter."

"The distance is relatively close, and my soldiers can send troops to protect at any time, and they can also take care of each other's development."

Kevin couldn't help being taken aback.

"Behind this wall?"

"That's right." Su Mo continued with a smile: "If you build the sub-base on the land in the southern suburbs, it will be too far away from the control of our Western Suburbs Alliance, and no one can guarantee support in case of danger. When will it arrive. But if it is built in our western suburbs, it will not only be more convenient for trade, but also ensure safety, so why not do it?"

It is convenient for you to build here, but it is not convenient for us?

Kevin was a little puzzled.

I feel that what the other party said makes sense, but I also feel that I seem to have overlooked something important.

But speaking of it this way, setting up the sub-base on the land in the southern suburbs is really not very reliable.

Although it was close to their own shelter, it was too far away from the alliance's shelter.

Once it is really in danger, it is estimated that the base will be destroyed by the time the support arrives.

Thinking of this, Kevin lowered his head hesitantly, coughed lightly and said:

".But it's too far away from the Horsens Refuge. Even with the protection of the Alliance, we have to consider the risk of going back and forth."

Su Mo nodded immediately.

"That's true, but isn't the reason why sub-bases are established to share the danger? The residents who relocated here to take charge of the construction don't need to go back and forth every day, they just need to build the base step by step. We have soldiers from the Alliance, who will Responsible for the delivery of protective materials."

Hearing this made Kevin even more troubled.

If the distance between the two sides is ignored, the manager's proposal is indeed a better choice.

But if he really chooses the sub-base here, it means that he can't come over anytime and anywhere to check the progress.

From the very beginning of its construction, the Horsens Refuge prepared a complete set of material reserves and technologies for returning to the ground, and bought a lot of new things from the Foundation over the long years.

But these are only enough for one construction, not enough for him to waste again and again.

Once it is wasted because of his rash use, it will directly become the sinner of the entire refuge.

"Sorry, we have already prepared a lot of resources for sub-base construction, and there is only one chance. If you choose to build a place far away from the shelter, the risk is really too much beyond the estimate."

"Well, it seems that our new ally is still a little confused about the situation."

Su Mo turned his head with a smile, the hunting tiger beside him was getting a little annoyed.

He didn't like Kevin's polite back and forth at all.

Especially compared with one's own allies, the gap should not be too obvious.

However, upon hearing this sentence, Liehu suddenly felt a little happy, and quickly nodded and added:

"It's normal, just like those gophers in the southern suburbs thought we were crazy when they saw us flattening and resuming ground construction."

? ?

Kevin was a little confused.

Is this mocking him for his short-sightedness? I never thought that one day, the illiterate Liehu would be able to mock others?

But just when he wanted to refute, he saw Su Mo waving to the side.

Four guards walked up with standard goose steps and stood in front of them.

"Even though it's late at night, I don't think Mr. Kevin would mind going to bed later."

"Go, show Mr. Kevin a good tour of our plantation and industrial area."

He rushed over to attend the meeting at this point, so he definitely wouldn't take the risk of going back to the shelter overnight.

Kevin originally planned to finish discussing the alliance, camp at the edge of the city, and wait for dawn before going back.

Now I suddenly heard Su Mo say that someone would take him to visit the plantation and industrial area?

Has the northern suburbs developed to this point?

Kevin was a little confused, but in the end he didn't say anything to refuse.

In fact, he had this plan in mind before he came, and he came anyway.

Even if you can't form an alliance with the refuge in the western suburbs in the end, you have to see how far they have developed now.

"Don't worry about anything. Although Mr. Liehu is a violent person, he will never attack his allies."

"Go ahead and take your questions to find answers."

Kevin really couldn't find any reason to refuse Su Mo's gentle suggestion.

Especially when he walked under the city wall and saw the lizard car parked not far away, he even suspected that the manager had predicted everything that would happen in advance.

"Mr. Kevin, I am your tour guide today, and my name is Lu Zhou."

Since it was communicating with the Blue Stars, it was Lu Zhou, who had now been promoted to the captain of the guard, who was in charge of leading the tour.

Among all the guards, he learned the Blue Star language very quickly, and basically could not hear much foreign accent.

"Except for the guards, our car can only carry four people with you, please understand."

"We will guarantee your safety, in the name of the alliance."

The meaning of leading four people is actually the same as leading forty people.

Having already entered someone else's territory, Kevin doesn't think that bringing more people can make any qualitative changes.

Ever since, he only mentioned the security captain 'Geng Changtian' who was in charge of safety during this trip, and 'Price' who was going to be promoted to be the main manager of the sub-base.

The three of them got into the lizard car neatly and headed towards Hope Village along the road that had already been poured with a thin layer of cement.

To be honest, a coolie lizard pulling a cart is not a very good choice.

Although this guy's stamina is much stronger than that of a horse, it is difficult to achieve unity in coordination, and it is easy to cause confusion and bumps when pulling up the cart.

But in any case, it is much more comfortable than walking all the way.

Darkness shrouded everywhere, and the wasteland without light pollution was almost invisible at night.

It didn't take long for Kevin, who was already a little tired, to lean back in the car and doze off.

The car went all the way west.

I don't know how long it took, but in a daze, there was a slight pushing feeling.

"Master Kevin, wake up, we are almost there!"

Geng Changtian, the security captain with an oriental face, said in a low voice, startling Kevin's remaining drowsiness away.

arrive? !

Kevin sat up straight subconsciously, lifted the curtains on the side of the car, and looked out through the small window.

The sky is still dark, and you can see the stars twinkling in the sky, casting a little light.

But looking into the distance along the horizon, there are several lighthouses more than ten meters high casting light, strafing the ground.

Wherever it is illuminated by the light, there will be flashes of lush green in an instant.

Under the blowing of the night wind, these plants sway back and forth, exuding a refreshing wilderness flavor.

"here.!"

Kevin's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe what he saw.

The neat field ridges stretch as far as the eye can see, just like the works of artists, straight and flat.

Pieces of seedlings that are still thriving, the progress is not uniform, and it is obviously not a temporary planting.

"Stop it, stop it!"

Some wonder if they haven't woken up yet and are still dreaming.

Kevin roared, waiting for the lizard car to stop, and rushed down impatiently.

He rushed into the field like a lunatic, lying on the ground, picked up the flashlight at his waist and shot at the roots of the plants.

According to the information left by the shelter, compare the relationship between land fertility and plant growth.

"My God, the land here is so fertile!"

It is impossible to grow any plants on the land irradiated by nuclear radiation. Even after two hundred years, it will be burned to death by radiation.

A lot of experiments were done in the Horsens Refuge, and Kevin, the manager, has been to the ground hundreds of times.

However, the results every time are disappointing. Because Qinggang City is close to the port, the nuclear radiation dissipates too slowly!

And as long as the radiation in the seawater cannot be dealt with, the land will be continuously affected.

There is no way, the refuge can only try to carry out soilless cultivation or planting with purified soil.

But those costs are too high, the cost is almost a hundred times that of machine starch.

Therefore, the most important factor in wanting to get rid of machines is to find a fertile land where plants can grow.

And the land in front of him is one of the top choices in the data!

"Mr. Kevin, the plantation here has just been opened, and the crops inside have not been cultivated for a long time. If you are very interested in plants, there are many plantations ahead, and the crops there should be close to maturity. !"

It was the first time he saw someone lying on the ground howling and shouting, Lu Zhou coughed lightly and stepped forward to remind him politely.

But before he finished speaking, he was taken aback by Kevin's reaction.

The man lying on the ground just now bounced off the ground as if there were springs under his buttocks.

His face was excited, revealing a look of shock when he heard the Arabian Nights.

"What? There are still ones that are about to mature?"
