Chapter 512 Conspiracy

 Ruins next to the camp.

Looking at the signal tower hung with a concrete-colored camouflage net, Chu Guang, who was riding on Nicole's back, didn't know how to complain for a while, and finally said with a smile.

"It seems they have been preparing for this plan for a long time."

A signal line was actually laid from outside the area affected by the thunderstorm.

Because the thunderstorm interfered with the radio signals outside the battlefield, the Heart of Steel did not detect long-distance communications from outside the battlefield at all. The radio equipment used by the Enlightenment on the battlefield came from the radio equipment in front of him as a relay.

signal tower.

Lu Bei, standing aside, whispered.

"Sir, do you want to follow this line down?"

"It makes no sense. They were so cautious that they wouldn't have taken advantage of this signal."

Even if you follow the thread and move it to your own home, you may find a pile of junk or even traps."

After finally staring at the signal tower, Chu Guang patted Nico's neck. The latter understood what he was saying, purred, flicked his tail and turned around.

"Get some people to dismantle this thing. I'll go to the industrial building and have a look."

Lu Bei, who was standing aside, replied with a loyal look on his face. "Yes!"

Although it is a pity that the mastermind behind the scenes was not caught, those who were initiated into the society

A large amount of abandoned high-tech equipment has remained.

I have to admit that there are really many good things in the shelter, and the Enlightenment Society

These good things have been gathered together again. Now they are all cheaper for the Alliance.

According to statistics from the logistics department, the biggest gain from this battle is undoubtedly a phaser cannon.

This thing is not small in size. It looks like a five-meter-long oil pipe. It is carried on the back of an all-terrain crawler vehicle and is powered by a one-kilogram cold fusion battery.

The pool provides energy. From a distance, one might have thought it was a missile vehicle from the pre-Prosperity Era.

It can take down two airships converted from frigate cores. This phaser gun is either a part removed from the starship, or it has not had time to be installed.

Chu Guang planned to hand it over to the alliance's research institution for analysis to see if any useful technology could be recovered from it.

I don’t expect Yin Fang and others to reverse engineer the technology related to the anti-gravity device.

Yes, that thing is more difficult to produce than technically difficult.

But even if I can

It would also be great to recycle the capacitor technology inside.

Yes, this thing can be used whether it is an electromagnetic gun or an electric vehicle. In addition to "strategic weapons" such as phase cannons, there are more than two hundred sets of Type 5 "Light Cavalry" exoskeletons used by the police.

A set of ten types of "Oath" exoskeletons originally belonging to the People's Alliance Army, as well as 60 "Oath" exoskeletons with different uses.

"Magnetic Rail Acceleration Rifle", and more than 200 shellless assault rifles and basic small arms, etc.

Plus anti-armor rocket launchers as well as grenades and other military equipment captured in the exchange of fire.

With equipment and so on, the equipment captured in this battle is enough to arm half a special operations brigade.

Near the industrial building.

Hanshuang, with his arms folded, looked at the mechanical dog lying on its nest not far away and pouted.

"Let me just say that stuff is unreliable."

The eclipse's hole flickered slightly, and after a while he said, "It was damaged by EP."

"EP, haha, I'm not afraid of that thing." But your firepower isn't as strong as it." "Haha, that's not necessarily the case."

Jiang Xuezhou, who was standing next to Xiao Wang's wreckage, did not hear the two androids' chatter. If she had heard it, she would definitely go up and argue with these two guys.

Glancing at the tablet in her hand, and then at the camp not far away, she hesitated for a while, and finally walked over there. The administrator's log of Shelter 0 and the backup of the original Torch Project have been recovered. The instructor asked her to go back and tell her what happened.

Next, her mentor will probably take her back to the Wandering Swamp, archive the recovered data, and participate in the Research Department's seminar.

Busy days are yet to come,

When she thought about the work she had to do next, she couldn't help but feel numb. The next time she came out of the Wandering Swamp, she didn't know when it would be. The next time they met would be on the battlefield again. As a final farewell. , she wanted to at least say hello to those friends.

Although the time we spent together was short, it was still a valuable experience for her.

What she gained was not only the K points and meritorious service obtained in the mission, but also the discovery of herself.

At this moment, inside the camp.

Ye Shizheng looked at Chu Guang vividly and described what happened in the shelter, and handed Captain Lu's video and the captured memory extractor into his hands.

"That's what happened. Dear administrator, I suggest you use this memory extractor to interrogate this guy."

As he spoke, Ye Yi glared fiercely at Zhuang Lan, whose hands and feet were bound not far away. This guy had made him suffer a lot.

Looking at the memory extractor, Zhuang Lan's face turned slightly pale. She knew better than anyone how terrifying that thing was.

Even though she had received special training, she didn't have the confidence to withstand the ruthless interrogation, and would rather confess before putting on that thing.

The most terrifying thing about that thing is not the retrieval of memory, but that as the retrieval progresses, it will gradually wake people up from their dreams, and use the fears dug out from the depths of memory to repeatedly torture the user. Until a person's spirit is completely destroyed and the last remaining clues are extracted from the fragmented memory fragments.

She didn't even know what she would think of

Looking at Ye Shi who looked confused, Chu Guang nodded and said in a gentle tone.

"I will consider your suggestion as appropriate and, if necessary, I will

Made.” 2

The memory extractor was placed on the table nearby.

Chu Guang was about to assign a new task to Ye Shi when he suddenly noticed someone not far from the door looking over.

The Guards soldiers had noticed the man and stopped in front of her to ask.

Chu Guang had some impression of that person. Although he didn't know his name, he remembered it.

He seemed to be a D-level researcher from the college. His hesitant expression seemed to mean he wanted to say something, but he was too embarrassed to get close.

His eyes fell on the memory extractor. Chu Guang vaguely guessed something and couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

Looking at Yoruichi again, he spoke.

"You did a great job. Thank you for your hard work. Just leave the rest to me. You can go and rest."

"Hum, actually I'm not that tired, but that's okay."

Although it was a pity that there was no follow-up mission, thinking of the hidden mission that Lao Bai told him before, Ye Shi scratched his head and hesitated, then walked out the door excitedly.

As Ye Shi left, apart from the Enlightenment Society agent whose hands and feet were tied, only Chu Guang, Lu Bei and a few guardsmen were left in the spacious camp.

Putting away his warm smile, Chu Guang looked at her and said, "Name?" Zhuang Lan felt his scalp numb from the gazes around him.

Especially before stepping into this camp, the deathclaw at the door looked at her with its amber eyes, which made her feel a bone-deep fear.

nervous

She glanced at the memory extractor on the table, swallowed, lowered her head and said shakily.

"Zhuang Lan."

Chu Guang stared at her for a while.

"I don't want to waste time, so you'd better not waste my time. Whatever I ask now, you answer whatever you want. If I think you are lying, I will use this."

With that said, Chu Guang raised her index finger and tapped the glasses on the table. Those black eyes made her feel a fear from the depths of her soul. Zhuang Lan's shoulders trembled involuntarily and she nodded tremblingly.

"Speak." "Yes!!"

She didn't understand why she was so afraid of someone who she clearly wasn't even afraid of death.

Is it a talent brought by awakening?

How come you have such a strange ability?

Looking at the memory extractor placed on the table, she did not dare to think deeply.

I could only lower my head, not even daring to look directly into those eyes.

"Which shelter are you from?" No. 6, 68... "How many people are there among you?" "Two thousand people." Two thousand people.

That's a pretty big shelter.

Thinking of the underground city in Vault 79, Chu Guang was not too surprised and continued to ask.

"Where is your manager? He's dead." Chu Guang raised his eyebrows. "Before joining the Enlightenment Meeting?" Zhuang Lan nodded silently.

"Yes." Chu Guang continued to ask.

"How did you join the Enlightenment Society?"

The wastelanders took over the outposts we built on the surface, took advantage of our kindness, took over our shelters, and killed our managers.

, put us in a cage, and later the people from the Enlightenment Society found us. They rescued all the people who were still alive, and executed the group of wastelanders. They were compatriots, so we followed them." Knowing how to hide it,

There was no point, so she simply confessed everything. And her words just confirmed Chu Guang's suspicion.

The Enlightenment Society collects the kind of people who were forced by the looters in Vault 401.

Harmful even to the point where the occupied shelter grows and grows.

It's just that after those people found other shelters, they did not take the blue coats to build settlements. Instead, they fanned the hatred in people's hearts and directed all conflicts towards the Post-War Reconstruction Committee and even the entire wasteland.

There is actually nothing wrong with this narrative logic.

The Post-War Reconstruction Committee did do some things, but it failed to

Everything was done well, and it failed many wastelanders and survivor colonies.

Expectations are also facts.

But if all mistakes are attributed to the failure of the post-war reconstruction committee,

Defeat, which is undoubtedly equivalent to blaming all the problems in the wasteland on the mutants.

It's the same as the stinky shit, there's nothing wrong with it, there are a lot of people who can

I believe it, but if I think about it more, I realize that it doesn’t make sense.

In fact, Chu Guang was more curious about another thing.

That is whether the Enlightenment Society itself actively intervened or accelerated this process.

According to his own observation and judgment, the attitude of most survivor settlements towards the residents of the shelter is actually neutral.

Those ordinary wastelanders neither admire nor hate Blue Jacket. They don't care who abandoned whom two hundred years ago, whose ancestors owe whose ancestors, or why wars were fought in the past. Most people have long considered prosperity

era

I completely forgot about the relationship with people, I just want to concentrate on living a good life now.

The people of Xiaoyu's family even saw him as pitiful, so they squeezed out the few rations they had, gave him a bite to eat, and taught him what waste products could be exchanged for money from merchants.

Leaving aside shelters that are targeted by predators, most shelters have to maintain their vigilance and limited training under normal circumstances.

It's the same as the stinky shit. It sounds like there's nothing wrong with it, and a lot of people will believe it, but if you think about it more, you'll find that it doesn't make sense.

Leaving aside the shelters that are targeted by predators, under normal circumstances, most shelters can basically develop into "Mode 101" as long as they maintain basic vigilance, limited contact, and cooperation above neutrality...

It is actually not common for extreme situations like "401 mode" to develop.

Chu Guang is more inclined to believe that the people in the Enlightenment Society should have done something on their own initiative, which accelerated the deterioration of the relationship between the shelter and nearby survivors.

For example, deliberately revealing the location of the shelter to nearby marauder camps and mutant lairs, or bribing unsteady wastelanders to betray the blue jackets who cooperated with them

It was hard for Chu Guang to believe that an organization whose mission was to destroy the world would be reserved in the means to achieve its goals and let go of those who were unwilling to cooperate with their sanctuary and its managers.

As long as those shelters that are unwilling to cooperate fall, with the savior

By saving the residents there from the abyss and instilling in them the idea that the enemy is the entire wasteland, the Enlightenment can easily gain a large number of loyal and reliable disciples.

In the conversation with Guixu, Chu Guangneng clearly felt that although the goals of the upper-level and lower-level disciples of the Enlightenment Society were unified, their positions were actually not consistent.

The former is purely to create a dream that is entirely dominated by elites

new world.

Most of the latter don't care who leads the new world, they just feel despair about the status quo.

"Have you seen that guy named Guixu?" Zhuang Lan was silent for a long time. "No."

Chu Guang continued.

"You haven't even met him, why do you believe what he says is true?"

Zhuang Lan was silent for a long time and then slowly spoke.

"I don't care if he is hiding something, it doesn't matter to me, I just know that those wastelanders treat me -"

"And you did the same thing as them? I, I didn't, I was just saying-"

"You say you haven't, but the compatriots you mentioned have done nothing bad."

Looking at Zhuang Lan, who was blushing and defending, Chu Guang pointed his chin in the direction of the camp outside and said to the point.

"Look at those tents, the people inside are those who were subjected to your atrocities

Victims, do you want to say that because those people were not kidnapped by you, they have nothing to do with you?"

Looking at Zhuang Lan who was silent, Chu Guang continued.

"I don't expect to make a cold-blooded guy feel sympathy, but I am curious about one thing. Do you really think that your home, that is, Vault 68, was destroyed at the hands of the Wastelanders?"

"Of course! I saw them with my own eyes—"

Staring at Zhuang Lan, who looked determined, Chu Guang recalled what he had read in a discussion thread on the official website, and continued in a calm tone. "You saw them chop off your parents' heads, and watched them chop you off."

Being locked up in a cage and watching the people from the Enlightenment Society save you, every one of you

Isn’t it a coincidence that everyone, including the prisoners we captured on the battlefield, has never doubted this?"

"How did those wastelanders rebel? When and how did the people from the Enlightenment Society discover you? How did your administrator die?

, where is his work log? Wastelanders shouldn’t be interested in that kind of thing, right? Have you checked his manager’s log? Can you answer me these doubts?”

Zhuang Lan was stunned. "I"

Chu Guang stared at her and continued slowly.

"You don't know. You believe whatever they say, and you do whatever they ask you to do. And even if it's a near-death mission, doesn't Guixu have the guts to see you face to face in person?" He looked at his face.

Zhuang Lan, who was pale and speechless, suddenly had a look on Chu Guang's face.

He looked interested. "Let's make a bet."

"Betting?" Zhuang Lan looked at him blankly, "What are you betting on?"

"Your freedom," Chu Guang looked at her and continued, "the administrator's log of Vault 68. That thing will be backed up in the shelter. Even if it is destroyed, there is a way to restore it. That thing can answer the confusion in your heart.

It just happens to satisfy my curiosity and find it for me.”

Zhuang Lan looked at him in surprise. "Are you going to let me go?

"I'm just lending you your freedom temporarily," Chu Guang said calmly, "If there is no shadow of the Enlightenment Society behind the disaster that happened in Vault 68, you will be free. If the clues recorded in the log are consistent with my

The guess matches, you will come back, remember to bring it to me."

Each shelter manager's log is an important file, and it is the obligation of all managers to recycle it as much as possible after the shelter is closed.

Even if there is only one punctuation mark on it, it still has recycling value. This is valuable sociological experience.

Including the logs stored in Vault 0 and the relevant plans of the "Torch Project", Chu Guang also recovered them.

"Aren't you worried that I'll run away?" Zhuang Lan took a deep breath and asked in disbelief.

Chu Guangdan smiled faintly.

"Your expression tells me that you will do this, but if you still have any brains, you will realize how stupid it is." "The enemy who really killed your parents deceived you not only, but also

Those compatriots you cherish most."

"Find that thing for me. This is your only chance to atone for your sins." "The Post-War Reconstruction Committee and his three sons don't care about you, we will take care of it."

Staring at the figure disappearing at the door of the barracks, Lu Bei hesitated for a moment and whispered.

"Sir, is it really okay to let her go?"

He didn't doubt the manager's decision, he just doubted whether that cunning guy would abide by such a non-binding promise. Unlike the worried Lu Bei, Chu Guang didn't care much and replied casually.

"If she finds something, she might be able to help us find out what's going on inside.

The Enlightenment Society will be dismantled by the Ministry of Education, and no matter what happens, she can find the location of the Enlightenment Society headquarters for us."

Can't find it? That's impossible.

Chu Guang didn't believe that that villain could refuse the temptation of taking shortcuts.

If he guessed wrong, then he was wrong. It doesn't matter. One little guy, one more or one less will not affect the overall situation. After a pause, Chu Guang continued.

"Of course, if she didn't check at all and just returned unscathed, what would you think if you were a senior member of the Enlightenment Society?"

Lu Bei thought for a while and scratched his head.

"I am a senior member of the Enlightenment Society, sir, but I don't have that kind of structure."

Looking at this unsatisfactory young man, Chu Guang shook his head and criticized him harshly.

"It is slave thinking to think that the superior must have three heads and six arms. People are people. How many times have I told you!"

After all, Lu Bei was young and his head was bright. He reacted immediately when Chu Guang glared at him.

"Doubtful! I wonder why she came back alive!" Chu Guang nodded approvingly. "Clever."

Especially the guy named Guixu, he felt like a combination of arrogance and arrogance.

That guy may have something, but not much. Theory is greater than practice, and his subconscious inferiority complex and sense of urgency make him eager to prove his strength, and he even doesn't hesitate to show it off to his enemies in a ostentatious tone.

in front of.

In contrast, the marshal of the legion, the doctor of conclusion of the academy, and even the city lord of Boulder City are more inclined to "hide" themselves. These old monsters who have lived for who knows how many years have never been willing to reveal what they have in their hands.

How many cards there are, and the thoughts are even more difficult to fathom.

"But is it okay for her to be alone?" Lu Bei looked at Chu Guang in confusion and asked. Chu Guang said nonchalantly.

"That's her own business. I didn't place all my hopes on a temporary idea." Those who killed the crew of the Pioneer had already died in the nuclear explosion. This guy and that guy

It doesn't matter. I haven't had access to those data. Legion is not

His ally, he has no obligation to avenge the Vaillant people, and there is no point in killing them.

And if he is locked up with other prisoners of war for labor reform, the Legion will definitely use this reason to pressure him and ask for his extradition. This kind of thing happens twice once, and Chun Chun is a trouble.

If Cohen wants to avenge his henchmen, then he should go after him himself, which will allow them, who are closer to the desert, to keep an eye on the small actions of the Enlightenment Society for the Alliance.

When he said this, Chu Guang paused for a moment.

"By the way, you and Captain Adria will notify you later and say

The Enlightenment agent who murdered Walli ran away and left them to their own devices."

Putting his right fist on his chest, Lu Bei looked at the manager with admiration. "Yes! Sir!" Go ahead."

Smiling as he watched the young man disappear through the door, Chu Guang turned his attention to the memory extractor placed on the table.

I heard that this thing is so evil that it can not only squeeze people's memories, but can even help people remember things they don't even remember.

When he first came out of the shelter, Warfield Boss secretly put it on and tried it, but unfortunately it was of no use to the players. He posted a post and then gave up thinking about it.

It wouldn't have been useful in the first place.

The clone's brain is like a blank piece of paper, just a signal repeater, with a cache added at most, and it does not store long-term memories. As for the players' memories, they are all stored in their own brains - located in

In the brain of another world.

Suddenly, an idea came to Chu Guang's mind.

What would you see if you put it on? Is it the most terrifying thing in your memory?

When he was thinking this, Chu Guang's hand was already on the glasses. However, within just a few seconds, he shook his head and gave up the idea.
