Chapter 1023 The year sequence is updated, the end of the year in the wasteland!
The riots in Qinggang City came much earlier than expected.
December 17th of the wasteland calendar year.
Following Commander Edmund's order, the underground must open the level within twelve hours and convene an awakening voting meeting for the manager Hades.
The relationship between the ground and the underground began to deteriorate rapidly, and in just half a day, it evolved into a situation that was about to lead to civil strife.
More and more soldiers wearing exoskeleton armor stood in front of the checkpoint.
Hundreds of armored vehicles were also surrounding the area, and as soon as the large checkpoint was opened, they rushed into it to exterminate the rebels.
Whether above or below ground.
Separated by an alloy firewall more than ten meters thick, no one expected that the situation would evolve into this situation.
"Edmund, are you crazy? If you dare to order them to attack the firewall today, this is rebellion!"
Through the communication device, Tang En's face on the screen was already ashen.
Bold can no longer describe Edmund's current operation.
To be more precise, he just wants to rebel!
"Little guy, when I was running around in this wasteland, you were still a puddle of liquid, and yet you dared to talk to me like this."
Edmund sneered, a disdainful smile appearing on his tense face.
The other party knows the news temporarily.
But this scene has been rehearsed in his mind for a whole week.
He was thinking all the time, what kind of expressions and surprises would these stubborn guys in the underground have when they suddenly realized that they wanted to forcefully break through the firewall.
Now, he sees it.
As expected, these guys are essentially the same as those wanderers.
They all have the same greed for life and fear of death, and the same fear of the unknown.
"To tell you the truth, if you don't open the firewall today, you have to open it. We are ready to fight to the death!"
"Do you believe that as long as I give the order, they will start attacking?"
"Crazy, Commander, you are absolutely crazy."
Tang En's face moved away, and an old man with an old face and white hair appeared in front of the screen.
He raised his hand tremblingly and pointed at the screen:
"Edmund, you actually selected those damn bugs and wanderers to enter our refuge. You also issued them weapons and trained them to become soldiers. Do you want to divide our refuge, just like the damn tiger hunter?
Replace Lord Hades?"
"Oh? Let me tell you, old guy, you are almost losing all your teeth, but you haven't lost your ability to criticize people at all, right?"
The disdain on Edmund's face became even more obvious.
These methods are simply too childish, and I can’t even imagine that a sixty-year-old person could say them.
Do they think this is still a "peaceful" Blue Star?
After staying in that strong fortress for so long, my brain has indeed deteriorated so much that I forgot that the outside world will change.
"Back then, I should have taken the people out of the industrial area and let you have good contact with the undead."
"Don't worry, when Lord Hades wakes up, he will understand the purpose of what I am doing now."
"You are dreaming."
Seeing that Edmund seemed determined to open the firewall and go underground to hold a vote for managers to wake up.
A group of old antiques who had been kings of the underground for a long time finally started to panic.
In the long years, from the bottom to the current position, what they want is to enjoy themselves in their later years.
If Hades, the administrator, doesn't wake up soon, they still have more than ten years to slowly deal with the mess outside.
Recover that extremely important industrial core, rebuild the above-ground industrial zone, and take Qinggang City completely into your hands.
But if Hades wakes up now
If you think about it with your buttocks, at least half of them, those in high positions, must be responsible for the chaos outside.
Who will be responsible?
Who dares to take responsibility?
Who can be responsible?
The three questions were raised by Tang En in the previous meeting on "Should the Firewall Be Opened?"
No one can answer, and no one can bear the price.
"Edmund, I know what you want. Now retreat, and I will send someone to deliver a large amount of supplies right away."
"And we can forget about the things you did before, or even pretend that they never happened."
Tang En pursed his lips, and under the "pressing questioning" of dozens of pairs of old antique eyes, he could only stand up and negotiate terms.
Regardless of how fierce Edmund is screaming now, in fact, if the manager Hades wakes up, he will never escape punishment.
At the least, they could be dragged out and shot, at worst, they could be tortured to death.
But the key point is that Edmund now knows in his heart that he will never escape, and he has to drag the people below him with him.
This is a bit uncomfortable.
None of the people below are willing to be buried with Edmund, so now they can only hold their noses and sue for peace.
"Hey Tang En, I thought you would continue to be arrogant for a while."
I didn't expect it to go so smoothly.
The smile on Edmund's dark face became more and more unrestrained, and finally he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
And when he finished laughing, he saw that the face of the person opposite the video was almost dripping with tears.
This is what he said:
"Okay, Mingren won't tell secrets. Since you are so straightforward, I won't hide it."
"The materials, equipment, and manpower on these lists are ready for me to send up. I will continue to help you block the commotion outside."
After the words fell, a document was transmitted along the communication device.
Tang En clicked to open it, and after only reading a few lines above, he shook his head and refused: "This is impossible. You have already lost an industrial core. If you lose another one, we will definitely not be able to escape when Master Hades wakes up.
responsibility."
"We will find the lost one. This one is just temporarily borrowed from you."
"No, unless you get it back first."
The two began to pull back and forth.
There are only five industrial cores in the entire Qinggang Shelter, three of which are underground and two above ground.
Among these five units, only the one that was thrown away and the one at the bottom of the underground pressure box were used for construction.
"Without getting it, there will be no way to rebuild the industrial area."
"We can't rebuild. We won't be able to stop the next time unrest breaks out."
"If we can't stop it, we might as well hold a manager awakening meeting now. Anyway, we will die sooner or later."
Edmund began to act rogue.
Tang En subconsciously wanted to refuse, but after scanning the silent old diehards around him, he suddenly fell silent.
Perhaps this is the price everyone pays for supporting him to become the number one manager.
Edmund has made it clear that he accepts all responsibility for the damage above ground.
So underground, someone really needs to stand up and take the blame.
Obviously, he is the youngest of them all, the most junior, and has the highest status.
All in all, it is the best choice.
"Have you thought about the consequences, if you ultimately fail?"
"Consequences?" Edmund shook his head repeatedly, and his tone softened inexplicably: "Boy, when you see with your own eyes that those damn radioactive beasts will imitate humans to rob our planes and learn our knowledge. The consequences will be complete.
It’s not important anymore.”
"You should know better than me what will happen to this shelter if no one comes forward."
"What are you going to do?"
"Rebuild the industrial area and conquer all the shelters. Only our voices will be left in this city."
Tang En's eyes lit up, then dimmed quickly: "Just rely on those wanderers?"
"Of course not. Agree to my conditions and you will soon see reality develop in a good direction."
"Okay, although your persuasion methods are rubbish, I agree to your terms."
The industrial core has been given, and it doesn't really matter whether the following materials are given or not.
Over the long years, the resources stored in Sunny Harbor Sanctuary have reached a terrifying level.
Even if the industrial area on the ground is destroyed three more times, there will still be enough materials for reconstruction.
In addition to meeting the residents' food and clothing needs, only a small amount of electricity is needed.
Rather than leaving the resources and materials to mold in the warehouse, it is better to give them to Edmund and see what kind of big news he is going to make.
"Hehe, boy, it seems that you are not lucky enough to be the number one manager."
"I, Edmund, sincerely hope that you can become a true manager."
After getting what he really wanted, Edmund sincerely sent his blessings.
At the last moment when the video hung up, he could see the old stubborn people behind the screen heaving a sigh of relief.
Needless to say, this is a win-win.
only.
This win-win means that he won twice!
"Announce it and tell everyone."
Edmund looked at the deputy and straightened his chest.
"Starting from tomorrow, the industrial area will begin to be rebuilt. We have enough materials to recreate the glory of Sunny Harbor Shelter on this land. We will rebuild our home on this dilapidated ruins!"
"Yes, tell those wanderers by the way, tell them."
"Damn it, starting from tomorrow, everyone can have three meals, unlimited supply."
"The premise is that they can find the toilet by themselves and don't randomly dump their excrement in the corner."
"A bunch of bugs!"
There was no real fighting in Qinggang Shelter, but a new round of construction began.
Other shelters in the city couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and even Somo who was far away in the underground city felt relieved.
The construction is good.
Enemies without constraints or weaknesses are the most terrifying.
If these people don't rebuild that industrial area, but target other people.
That will undoubtedly be a nightmare for millions of people in Qinggang City.
And now.
Sumo casually threw the letter from Qinggang New City in the trash can. Sumo didn't take it to heart.
I don’t know why Edmund, the supreme commander of the new city, is so crazy.
The letter actually wanted Tianyuan Sanctuary to "pay tribute" and give a large amount of precious materials in exchange for a fictitious guarantee.
When foreign enemies invade, will they lend a helping hand depending on the situation?
What a joke, who in this city doesn’t know that you are the biggest enemy and the source of uneasiness.
He can guarantee that even if the letter asks for only a packet of starch.
There won't be any gophers in the entire Qinggang City who will bow their heads and be obedient and obediently send tributes.
but
This guy probably didn't expect to actually get tribute, otherwise it wouldn't be such a demanding request.
What he wants is probably just a reason.
Who can send troops to reward you at any time?
"Ignore them, we just have to proceed at our own pace. Anyway, if a war breaks out, it won't come to our side immediately."
"By the way, have the people who went to the deep sea to spread the news set out?"
Chen Shen, who was sitting across the table, nodded.
"We left with the supplies yesterday. If all goes well, we can reach the border of the New World before the New Year. I wonder if we can deliver the news to every corner of the deep sea before the migration wave completely starts.
"
Sumo's heart moved.
"It doesn't matter, there is not much time left before this fog disappears. When the fog that blocks the signal ends, the speed of transmitting information on the sea will be faster."
Ordinary people may not have the equipment to receive electromagnetic wave signals, but those maritime stations most likely do.
Compared with the efficiency of homing pigeons, electromagnetic waves can travel tens of thousands of kilometers in minutes.
To promote news, you just need to find channels and that’s it.
"That's right, the fog lasts for too long and I'm used to it."
Chen Shen rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment and continued to report the detailed development of the village step by step.
As the end of the year approaches, the most recent reporting work has almost been done by different people.
One is Shen Ke, who is in charge of supplies in the logistics department, and the other is Qiao Yuansheng, who is in charge of the villagers' union.
Today, Li Hu, who was in charge of public security, was sent away in front of him. Unexpectedly, Chen Shen came in again.
good!
Listening to Chen Shen reading out more and more data that represented the good development momentum of the territory, Sumo nodded in affirmation.
It is said that since he became the hands-off shopkeeper, he really hasn't taken care of these things much anymore.
But in fact, after laying a good foundation, it is still difficult to grow crooked.
"If there are no other unforeseen circumstances, let's start preparing for the New Year ceremony."
"I think everyone must be looking forward to this day."
There is less than half a month left before the Chinese New Year.
The selected players of the craft enthusiast route have turned into workaholics, setting off sewing machines on the third and fourth floors of the dungeon. Hundreds of pieces of finished clothing are put into the warehouse every day.
Naturally, such an important matter cannot be hidden from his smart residents.
Although everyone in the chat channel suppressed the urge to discuss the New Year ceremony, Sumo knew it very well.
The more depressed you are, the more you look forward to.
At the end of this year.
Just like the Tianyuan territory that has been suppressed for a long time, it is finally time to release it!
