Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
He found a strange landmark building after walking awhile.
” A Fortress?!”
Zhao Yu was a little confused. How could there be a military defense unit in this county?
He quickly flipped through the original owner’s mories and really found relevant content.
“Fallout Shelter 12988?”
According to his mories, Zhao Yu learned so other information.
After the outbreak of the nuclear war, it was not only the rich who were building underground shelters. Even so local units had raised funds to build larger underground shelters.
The reason why Zhao Yu knew the number of this fallout shelter was that when it was being built, an official had approached him and asked if he wanted to join the alliance. They could give him three slots.
However, Zhao Yu’s self-built fallout shelter had already started construction and he had spent a lot of money, so he naturally rejected it.
” According to my mory, this fallout shelter should be able to accommodate 500 to 1,000 people…”
Zhao Yu flipped through his mories. Such a large fallout shelter would cost a lot of money. The cost was hundreds or thousands of tis more than a small fallout shelter like his.
It was difficult to build it with just a few rich people. It was said that in addition to the wealthy businessn who joined, the local governnt also embezzled so other funds.
Moreover, they didn’t fulfill their promise at that ti. They announced to the public that the fallout shelter hadn’t been built yet, and they made a lot of noise on the Internet to select the lucky ones who would be able to move in.
However, the result was that a group of people moved in ahead of ti. By the ti the people knew, the entrance door of the fallout shelter had already been sealed.
Zhao Yu turned around and climbed up a big tree to has a better view.
He found that there were many tent around the bunker. He counted roughly, there were at least 800 if not 1,000, and many of them were already worn out.
It was probably after the apocalypse that many people thought of this fallout shelter. They brought their families and camped here, hoping that the people inside would open the door.
At that mont, the people in the tent were no longer there. Only a few mutants were swimming around in the tent.
“There are so many mutants. How is it just my mission?!”
The mission only said to kill one mutant in this area, but it didn’t say which one.
“Can I randomly just kill one?!”
Even if he was enough to complete the mission, what about after that?!
If he attacked, the other mutants would hunt him down.
Zhao Yu quickly counted and realized that there were at least thirty to forty mutants in the field.
With so many mutants around, even if he had a submachine gun instead of just a pistol, there’s no way he could fend them all off!
A faint sound of footsteps caught his attention.
He turned to see a man and a woman clumsily trying to climb a tree not far from him, seemingly attempting to scout the fortress area, just as he had done.
Upon closer observation, Zhao Yu noticed that they were unard, but each carried a backpack. He wondered what was inside.
Their clothes, though relatively clean, bore so stains, indicating they might have fallen recently.
After a mont of hesitation, Zhao Yu decided to approach them.
By the ti he descended the tree and reached the ground, the two hadn’t even noticed him. They were still struggling to climb the tree.
Zhao Yu intentionally made a noise and walked towards them.
The pair looked startled and stopped their attempts, turning their gaze to Zhao Yu.
The man pulled a baton from the side of his backpack.
Is that… a standard weapon?
Zhao Yu squinted, speculating that they might be from a shelter.
“Who are you?” he whispered, approaching them.
“Who are you?” the man replied nervously.
“I’m a local.” Zhao Yu responded, swinging his pistol casually, “If 1 wanted to harm you, I would’ve shot you already.”
The two looked both fearful and sowhat reassured by his words.
“We are…” the woman, who looked to be in her twenties, “We’re from a shelter. We ca out to assess the situation.”
After so conversation, Zhao Yu finally understood.
It turned out that their generators in the underground shelter had malfunctioned. The administration sent out people for two reasons: to gauge the surface situation and to find soone skilled in repairs.
Zhao Yu realized that it was probably their first ti outside the shelter. They are likely had been inside for almost two years.
Back then, although the world was in chaos, humans still dominated.
Unlike now, where monsters had taken over.
“What has the world beco now? There are monsters everywhere!” the woman said, tears streaming down her face.
“There were five of us when we ca out. Only the two of us remained now.”
Post-nuclear war, radio transmissions beca erratic. It was understandable that they couldn’t receive signals from the surface.
“Didn’t two of you carry weapons when you left?” Zhao Yu asked them surprise
“We did.” the man said, pointing to the baton in his hand, looking nervously at Zhao Yu’s gun, “The administration gave us this….”
