Chapter 752: Reward

Translator: _Min_ Editor: Rundi

The terrifying blood hole was printed on the forehead of the Fog Demon, the vicious pupils gradually faded, and the cold basement returned to silence.

Confirming that the guy was dead, Jiang Chen only then put away his weapon and slowly felt relieved.

The guy’s fighting power was indeed impressive, and the two daggers were like shadows. If it weren’t for his Peerless ability, he did not have the confidence to win the duel.

The light of the flares were flickering, resembling the person that just died.

Using the flickering light, Jiang Chen noticed a necklace hanging from his neck.

Out of curiosity, Jiang Chen bowed down and took the silver chain out of his pocket.

It was a rusted soldier’s card. Only three words could be seen.

[Qin Chuan, Captain]

Turning it over, small twisted words were scribbled on the back of the soldier’s card.

[Code: Mole]

He didn’t say anything. Silently, he put the chain back into his pocket and closed his eyes.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed that in the pocket of Captain Qin Chuan, there was something that resembled a notebook. The crumbled notebook was taken out and Jiang Chen flipped through it. Apart from the hidden code that he couldn’t understand, he found a pen drawn map.

The location of the map seems to be within the resort.

What will be there?

With hesitation, Jiang Chen threw the notebook back into the storage dimension.

Anyway, since most of the troubles were solved, it would not be a big deal to take a look along the way.

Returning to the nuclear power plant, Jiang Chen told the underground survivors that the Fog Demon had died. At first hearing this news, their first reaction was disbelief. Afterwards, they voted for two delegates that stepped into the elevator in a heroic manner and went to the surface to confirm whether the Fog Demon was really dead.

Jiang Chen didn’t bother with the slow survivors, he found Zhao Tianyu and also told the news to the people of Fallout Shelter 079.

“Dead? Really?” Zhao Tianyu looked at Jiang Chen blankly.

More than 100 people have been killed by that guy with only 20 left. He really couldn’t imagine Jiang Chen killed the terrifying devil by himself.

“Yes.” Jiang Chen nodded and looked to Zhao Tianyu. “Those survivors are planning to go to the surface, but before that, they intend to send a representative to explore the surface first. What about you? What’s your plan?”

Zhao Tianyu pondered for a moment. He didn’t answer Jiang Chen’s questio, but began to speak abruptly.

“You are not from Fallout Shelter 079 nor a mercenary who is working for Yuan Yi. Am I right?”

“Oh? Why do you say that?” After being identified, Jiang Chen did not deny it, but looked at him intriguingly.

“Because Yuan Yi could never find such a strong helper. I don’t plan to return to the fallout shelter for the time being. Maybe I’ll go back later… If my computer’s calendar is correct, tomorrow should be March 1st, the first day of the Month of Disaster. The door to the fallout shelter will close at 12 o’clock tonight, and even if we go back now, we won’t be able to get through the door.”

Although he was deceived, Zhao Tianyu’s didn’t not look upset at all, but he looked at Jiang Chen genuinely and thanked him. “Anyway, you solved the trouble outside for us, and I owe you one.”

Regarding Zhao Tianyu’s promise, Jiang Chen only smiled and did not put too much weight on it. He was the NAC General. What could the head of a mercenary of more than twenty people do for him? What concerned him was that, unknowingly, it was already the 28th.

There is no sunlight in the ground. If he didn’t look at his watch, the feeling of time was almost non-existent. After Jiang opened the watch, he discovered that it was already 11 o’clock at night. He didn’t know how the expeditionary force was doing over there.

“Tomorrow is the Month of Disaster, and I have to take my people and make preparations. I won’t stay with you for the time being. If you are here for the generator set at the nuclear power plant, I could give you half the nuclear fusion generators, including the deuterium fuel.”

Zhao Tianyu’s generosity made Jiang Chen feel a little surprised. He was still thinking about how to distract them so he could secretly move a few nuclear fusion generators from the Clearwater Nuclear Power Plant. However, he did not think Zhao Tianyu would mention it first.

“This is your deserved reward. You solved the problem for us. I can’t let you leave empty-handed,” Zhao Tianyu said genuinely.

There were hundreds of tons of fuel stored in Clearwater Nuclear Power Station. Enough for Taipei to use for several years, not to mention the small settlements of just more than 1,000 people in this area. With the pre-war storage technology, these deuterium would not be depleted by natural decay even after they have been stored for centuries. That means that in the next few hundred years, this settlement would not have to worry about energy.

Zhao Tianyu very keenly guessed that Jiang Chen was thinking about the nuclear power station, or else he would not come here in the first place. In that case, it would be better to offer half of the generators on their own initiative to gain a favor.

Graciously accepting his kindness, Jiang Chen said with a smile.

“Your generosity will bring you good luck.”

“I hope so.” Zhao Tianyu laughed heartily. “There are nuclear physics experts among the survivors. I will convince them to help you bring the generators and deuterium storage tanks to the surface. But I suggest that you wait until the Month of Disaster is over to leave. There is no place safe on the entire island.”

“The Mud Crabs won’t hurt me.” Jiang Chen shook his head and declined his good intentions. He smiled and said, “I’ll try to think of a way to move the generators. I will have to count on you on the dissembling process.”

After bidding farewell with Zhao Tianyu, Jiang Chen rested for a night in his room.

The next day, Zhao Tianyu came to see him and told him that five nuclear fusion generators had been dismantled and transported to the surface. Not only that, but he also found a still-usable truck near the resort’s warehouse and loaded Jiang Chen’s nuclear fusion generators and storage tanks.

Before bidding goodbye, Zhao Tianyu gave him a USB.

“Inside is a blueprint of a nuclear fusion generator and the Clearwater Nuclear Power Plant management program. I asked the nuclear physics scientists to make you a copy. Perhaps you will be able to use them.”

“That’s amazing.” Jiang Chen smiled and accepted the USB in his hand.

“Take care, will we meet again with luck.” Zhao Tianyu extended his hand and solemnly bid farewell to him.

“Take care.” Jiang Chen shook his hand and released it. Then he suddenly mysteriously smiled and added a sentence. “It may not be long before we will meet again.”

Leaving this sentence that made Zhao Tianyu confused, Jiang Chen headed in the direction of the elevator.

…

The fog that lingered around Datun Mountain still did not disperse, but the fear that had been hidden in the fog disappeared.

More than 20 years have passed, and many people have already entered the prime of life from their childhood, moving from their prime to old age. When they saw this once picturesque resort, reminiscing the good times before the war, and watching its rundown state now, it was hard to avoid being depressed. Many people even hid their faces and began to cry.

Their cry was like an elegy, mourning the death of civilization.

As for those who were born in the nuclear power plant, because it was the first time they saw the outside world, they expressed more yearning rather than despair compared to their parents. Once they thought that Clearwater Nuclear Power Plant was the entire world, and the mushroom garden was paradise. Now they have discovered that the world is so vast and covered in green in every inch of the Datun Mountain.

Without bothering with these survivors and after leaving the hospital, Jiang Chen took out the maps he found on Captain Qin Chuan from the storage dimension.

Before leaving, he intended to go to the location on the map first. Maybe he could find some interesting things there.

For example… the secret of unlocking the third-level of the genetic code.
