In the end, Wang Zhengdao's timely appearance brought a turning point in the destruction of Vault 176. This was also the first time that there was substantial contact between the Vault and Bina after the Apocalypse. All the Vaults who knew about it were affected by this.
The magpie feathers burst into cheers.
Wang Zhengdao is still not sure whether the window period of the previous moment was an opportunity given by Tang Ji. Anyway, until Christmas of NC-8, Wang Zhengdao failed to return to the shelter of the Ark Organization.
Time has come to NV-9. In this year, the big storm has further weakened, and the impact of the external environment on the shelter itself has passed its peak. All shelters that have persisted until now at least do not have to worry about the external environment.
Threatened.
But new problems also emerged. Just as Mikkelsen and others predicted before, the food brought by the Gray Field Project cannot bring the warmth of civilization to mankind in this long night, it can only further promote the birth of mankind.
Despair in the human heart.
Take Vault 97 under Anthony's supervision as an example. Before the Apocalypse, the rated number of refugees was 50,000, including 25,000 dormant people. The shelter housed a total of 57,890 people.
Most of the nearly 10,000 extra people were refugees who were let in by Anthony at the last moment, and some were stowaways with extraordinary powers who hacked into the shelter through various informal means and never left.
That's how Joss Qiaoyin came in. He was an experienced elevator repairman who was hired by the Bear Gang to install the main elevator in Shelter 97. But what the Bears didn't expect was that Joss Qiaoyin was a
Doomsday survival maniac.
The first time he entered Vault 97, he realized that the end of the world he had always feared was about to happen, and he started his plan without hesitation.
José Qiaoyin made one hundred and thirty-nine trips, taking advantage of his commute to get off work, a little at a time, to deliver a large amount of survival supplies to Vault 97, and then suddenly disappeared after going to work one day.
Although the builders of the Storm Bear Gang knew that he was hiding somewhere in the shelter, no one could find him. Yoss Qiao Yin stayed in Vault 97 for two full months, waiting until he was evacuated.
After the door of the house was completely closed and the day of the apocalypse came, he came out of the corner and surrendered to Antony, saying that he would let the other party handle him.
In the end, the identity of the shelter builder allowed José Qiaoyin to be acquitted and he became an official shelter member.
But today, Joss Qiaoyin plans to end his life, not for anything else, but because this doomsday survivalist has suffered from severe depression after eating food produced by the Gray Field Project for eight years. He feels that
I completely wasted my life.
"Goodbye to the whole world. I am very grateful to Mr. Supervisor for taking me in. You are a good man, but I curse the people who stored food back then. The last words I left to this world are - go to the corn lake, go to hell.
That wheat porridge, and especially Wednesday’s fish stew, I’m waiting in hell for that cook to put it in the frying pan!”
These were the last words left by Joss Qiaoyin, who was the 457th person to commit suicide in Vault 97 in NC-9.
During this year, although more than 300 newborns were born in Vault 97, the population of the entire shelter still experienced negative growth.
This does not include the nearly 2,000 shelter survivors who have applied to enter hibernation chambers in the past few years to survive the long storm period.
"Vault 43 has not observed any traces of player activity for six consecutive years. We believe that players have left this world forever. After all, no one wants to play adventure games in a shithole." The supervisor of Vault 43 said.
The words he wanted to express were typed on the screen.
Due to existing traffic restrictions, communication between shelters is still mainly text-based, and pictures will only be sent under extremely special circumstances.
"We were even more unlucky. In NC-7, a player appeared once, but the other party did not leave any useful information. We dealt with the player according to standard procedures. May God bless that poor body.
" said the overseer of the shelter labeled Vault 324.
At the last moment before the apocalypse began, Mikkelsen disclosed the player processing procedures to each shelter.
If a shelter resident suddenly fails to pass the common sense test, the chip in his body will be activated, continuously releasing annoying but unknown micro-currents, making it impossible for the players who come to meet the offline conditions. Subsequently, the armed forces of the shelter will
The player needs to be subdued and interrogated.
Regardless of the final outcome of the interrogation, the player will be forcibly sent to the surface to undergo the test of the furious storm...
Because he has completely lost contact with the Trail Blazers and even the Death Cult, Mikkelsen currently does not know whether this method can effectively kill players.
But judging from the frequency of players' arrival and their performance after arrival, his weather plan and follow-up plan are still effective. Those players all came cautiously and planned to leave sneakily.
It's a pity that Mikkelsen has already set a dragnet for them.
Although Mikkelsen's hive mind network has not yet been restored, as the driving force behind the entire world, he has prepared enough back-up tools to serve himself, such as a separate communication channel that does not occupy public network traffic.
According to reports from Mikkelsens from various places, as of today, it has been 709 days since there was any sign of a player arriving in this world.
The hotly debated topic in the shelter right now is whether to abolish the Gray Field Project. After all, that plan was originally designed to lower players' expectations of this world. Now that players have stopped coming and going in this world under a greater blow.
The world continues to allow survivors to eat these 'junk foods', which has begun to affect the normal operation of the shelter.
What happened in Vault 97 was not an exception, but in the face of a joint proposal from multiple shelter supervisors, Mikkelsen finally responded with just two words, "No."
"Don't forget why we chose the Apocalypse Project. Billions of people have sacrificed their lives for it. Is there anyone who wants to take risks now because of their appetite?" Mikkelsen asked, ending the issue directly.
But after all, there are still people in this world who go beyond the scope of the normal diet and can ignore the prophets of the Gray Field Project and feast...
...
"What day is it today?" Wolfgang sat on a chair made of human bones, similar to the throne he had seen in the greedy memories of previous generations.
"No. 109, Mr. Wolfgang." The expressionless butler glanced at the tablet in his hand and said calmly: "But because you were dissatisfied with the skills of your chef team before, the kitchen is now short of manpower. You
You can only choose steamed or raw food.”
"I lost control again yesterday?" Wolfgang frowned, lost in thought.
Science has proven that cannibalism has no good end, and this seems to have been verified by Wolfgang. Coupled with a trivial accident... Starting from NC-4, Wolfgang will occasionally eat special foods.
When eating food, it falls into a state of unconscious madness, causing huge damage to the shelter every time.
But fortunately, greed is the most powerful of the Seven Deadly Sins, and he can always easily repair the damage to the sanctuary.
The shelter he is in is also the most special of all shelters. On Mikkelsen's shelter map, this one is codenamed 'Purgatory' and is located at the foot of the Alps, about two hundred meters away.
Of course, its official code name is Snow Mountain Refuge, and its main members are composed of naturalized people.
This was also Mikkelsen's bad taste. At the last moment, he changed the ticket information of the naturalized people he had and replaced all their shelters with snow mountain shelters. He even specially recorded the scene when Wolfgang
How many people collapsed on the spot when he appeared and declared himself the supervisor of the snow mountain refuge.
Originally, this catastrophe would not affect Wolfgang. After the first impact dissipated, Wolfgang could rely on his own ability to withstand the remaining anomalies, but because of this disaster,
The misfortune was mixed with Tang Ji's power, so Wolfgang could only act like a mortal, hiding in the shelter and praying that he would not be affected.
Greed is not arrogance. He never concealed his fear of Tang Ji and showed enough respect.
In the shelter Mikkelsen prepared for Wolfgang, there were no outsiders except the naturalized ones. It could be said that except for the people brought by Wolfgang himself.
Faced with the big storm that didn't know how long it would last, Wolfgang chose sustainability and fished all out. He froze all the superhumans among the naturalized people and only ate one on the weekend to relieve himself.
Unsatisfied greedy desires.
After all, this is the end of the world, and everyone will have a hard time, including Wolfgang himself.
Such days lasted for a while, and then a problem arose. Although the naturalized people were unable to resist Wolfgang's bloody rule, they refused to give birth to offspring, which gave Wolfgang a great headache.
He used some extraordinary methods, such as mental control, hormone control, information brainwashing, etc. However, in despair, the naturalized people chose physical castration and other means to resist this dark fate.
Finally, a small accident happened.
A naturalized superhuman, in anger, seemed to resonate with the power left by Tang Ji. The Prelude that Tang Ji often used suddenly appeared in his hand and hit Wolfgang's head.
Since then, Wolfgang has encountered his current problem. He occasionally loses control when he is emotional and falls into violent states.
According to Wolfgang's analysis, there is a 75% possibility that this was planned by Mikkelsen in advance. The gun was not summoned out of thin air, but Mikkelsen prepared it before the Apocalypse.
Hiding in his own sanctuary...
There is another 20% possibility that Tang Ji did this. He sensed the anger and gave the other party the power to murder him... But Wolfgang is very suspicious of Tang Ji's current state. After all, Tang Ji
Ji is not like the kind of person who can hide in the dark for nine more years without showing up. If he was still alive, he should have appeared long ago, unless he died...
The last five percent possibility is that Tang Ji is not only alive and well, but has also cooperated with Mikkelsen again and is cleaning up the few remaining Seven Deadly Sins.
But this possibility is too small. The reason is the same as before. Tang Ji is not that kind... Wolfgang frowned and unconsciously pressed his fingers on the poorly grown hole in his forehead. The bullet carried the power of the flame of hatred.
It penetrated his entire skull, and the wound was not healing for a long time, making it easy for people to see through Wolfgang's 'mind'.
"Then eat it raw and let it dry for twelve hours to see if any players come to this window." Wolfgang's voice was a little gloomy. This is his daily task.
Mikkelsen used to always have various reasons to drive him to work, but now, the other party only needs a phone call to make Wolfgang break his legs, because although Wolfgang is omnipotent, he cannot rely on himself
Construct a reactor core out of thin air.
That bastard had tampered with the energy core of the shelter. After restoring communication between the shelters, he could remotely shut down the reactor in the snow mountain shelter at any time, leaving Wolfgang a homeless dog and facing the big storm outside alone.
.
So now he is actually Mikkelsen's jailer, used to guard those naturalized people and wait for the players to return again.
And as Wang Zhengdao suddenly completed a space jump from shelter to shelter, Wolfgang had one more thing to worry about. He had to be on guard against what dirty tricks Mikkelsen had come up with to deal with him.
...
"Dr. Wu, we found Tang Ji!" Aria happily ran into Wu Qianying's laboratory and told Wu Qianying the good news.
But Wu Qianying just looked at the other party with some disgust, pointed to the mouse pad with the periodic table of chemical elements printed on the table and said: "Annie, can you only memorize the first twelve elements? What is the Sex element at the back?"
"
"That is the main element for the birth and reproduction of human beings!" Aria pouted and turned around to look like Annie.
"Why did you wake up my dream?" Wu Qianying frowned. The details of the entire dream world were improving rapidly as he walked through it, almost no different from the real world: "I should be in a dormant state now."
"Stop, Dr. Wu, stop expanding the boundaries of your dreams. You have just consumed the energy needed for a hundred people to dream." Annie looked at Wu Qianying pitifully, slandering Wu Qianying in her heart that she was a boring old woman, otherwise there would be no hope.
Women dream about electron collision accelerator...
"I need your help, Dr. Wu, I feel like Mikkelsen is going to attack me!" Annie said hurriedly: "In the past two months, Mikkelsen's clones have dreamed of me more times than
