"Boss, what's wrong with you?"
Li Gaolei asked worriedly, seeing Su's face turn pale instantly.
Su shook his head and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I'm fine."
But his face was still as pale as paper.
Su looked at the old mutant who had fallen on the ground and sighed slightly.
Rei's knife was extremely fatal, and the old mutant had no breath at this moment.
It should be said that she is very talented in fighting, and her melee fighting skills are improving day by day.
She can kill with a single blow just after understanding the body structure of mutants.
But her knife cut off important clues.
Seeing Li's uneasy look, Su smiled and said, "It's okay.
This is a good stab.
But remember to cooperate more next time and don't always act alone.
This is very dangerous."
Li nodded vigorously, feeling a little calmer.
She had noticed something strange about Su and wanted to ask, but a woman's intuition made her choose silence.
That metal circle should be a very important thing to Su, but it was enshrined by mutants.
Thinking of mutants with humanoid forms, outstanding intelligence, and even the ability to speak human language, Li would rather believe that the difference between them and humans, just like the difference between blacks and whites, is actually just two sub-communities of the same species. .
But she couldn't and didn't want to connect Su with these mutants.
Su didn't want to connect reality with those green dreams.
He knew that he often had strange dreams, and those dreams were so real that he couldn't even tell which part was the dream and which part was reality.
But as soon as you wake up, you will completely forget the content of the dream.
Only the feeling in the dream still remains in your heart, as clear as if it is etched in your genes.
Now Su knew that he had not actually forgotten the content of those dreams, but was very unwilling to face it, so he selectively buried it in a corner of his memory, trying to ignore it permanently.
But every night, these memories would always emerge from the depths of his consciousness, stubbornly reminding him of the scenes he didn't want to face.
Su stroked the metal ring, and when his fingertips slid across the inner wall, the string of numbers slid through his heart like flowing water.
The number itself is meaningless.
It is mainly the fonts that make up the number that touch the deepest secrets of his consciousness.
That dream was like the deepest beast.
Once it was completely released, Su knew that his entire life trajectory might change.
Recent facts have partially proved that strong ability is the only way to this dream.
Su raised his head and met Madeline's blue and tranquil eyes.
In the corner of his eyes, he could also see Li's obvious concern and Li Gaolei's seemingly calm face.
And somewhere where the eyes could not see, there was a Persephone who seemed to be happy but angry. ability The abnormal paleness on Su's face quickly faded, he put the metal ring away, and then said with a smile: "Okay, now there are no mutants in this base.
Let's go separately to check the conditions of the base's internal facilities.
We'll be there in half an hour.
Meet here.”
From the abandoned equipment, Su found the base number: n69.
The main power room of the base is still generally intact, it is just running out of energy.
The auxiliary power room is still functioning and is powered by two old diesel generators.
Next to the power room, Su unexpectedly found a warehouse full of gasoline and diesel barrels.
These oil barrels are of different models and origins.
It seems that they should be supplies robbed by some mutants.
These mutants actually modified the backup power engine room to a certain extent, converting one of the generators into a hybrid generator so that they could use the various fuels they snatched back.
In the equipment factory, Su saw another surprising sight.
The place is very tidy and all equipment is well organized and well maintained.

The shelves beside the wall are neatly arranged with weapons and equipment parts, and they are clearly and systematically classified.
The environment of the entire equipment factory is so clean that it is completely unlike an area where mutants have lived.
Judging from the types of parts, this factory can not only produce a variety of ammunition from the old era, but also produce consumable parts for weapons such as multi-barreled machine guns. .
The most surprising thing is that the mutants actually set up a biochemical laboratory, which is full of various instruments and is quite large.
Su was no stranger to biochemical laboratories.
Judging from the uses of these instruments, most of them were related to ability changes and generation.
Could it be that the purpose of setting up the biochemical laboratory by these mutants was to develop an ability formula suitable for mutants?
Although Su was extremely surprised, he also knew that in this hellish age, anything could happen.
There are more than 200 personal rooms in the base, half of which are abandoned and gathering dust, and the other half are used as bedrooms for mutants.
They are not too dirty inside, but the strong body odor is not something ordinary people can bear.
Fortunately, with the support of the backup energy system, the ventilation system of the base can still be used, but it will still take a long time to clean the base.
The biggest good news is that the base's water circulation processing chip is basically intact.
As long as the energy supply is restored, it can continue to be used with minor repairs.
The abundant underground water sources in mountainous areas have not been particularly seriously polluted.
If the chip function is fully restored, it will be able to produce a large amount of pollution-free clean water.
This will be a very valuable asset Clean water and food are hard currencies like weapons and ammunition.
Unless a region with stable rule and absolute authority like the Blood Parliament can issue a unified currency, barter is the usual way of trade.
Midnight City's current status is largely due to its large water treatment capacity.
Although most of the water produced contains slight radiation, it is sufficient for agricultural irrigation.
With the support of food and water trade, Midnight City was able to establish a deterrent armed force, and based on this, it developed the largest entertainment industry in the western region of the Great Lakes.
The core energy supply device of the base is a small nuclear generator, which has stalled due to lack of fuel.
If the box of nuclear fuel rods Su brought was used sparingly, it would still be enough to run the base for several years.
This group of mutants has lived in the base for more than ten years, and the dirt, filth, and garbage left behind are relatively good.
Removing that inhuman body odor is by no means a small task.
Moreover, the escape passages that every base has are connected to the natural caves in the middle of the mountains.
Now they are used as a garbage dump by mutants, and the passages are tightly blocked.
I don’t know how long it will take before the garbage accumulated over more than ten years can be cleaned up.
But even if it is just for the water treatment unit, no matter how much you pay, it is still worth it.
The base inspection ended quickly.
When the four people emerged from the base and breathed fresh air again, they all felt like they were human again.
Now, even the wind mixed with dust and radioactive dust looks so delicious Standing at the door of the n69 base, Su sent a message to Quinn, asking him to bring the surrendered soldiers to join him.
At the same time, he also took out a black remote communication device and connected the communication with Victor.
Looking at the intercom in his hand, Su realized more personally the gap between the Great Lakes Western Region and the Blood Parliament.
This gap is not only reflected in the high-end ability users who stand on top of the world, but also in a series of technologies from daily to cutting-edge.
Su was already accustomed to using a portable computer with rich audio and video.
Near the core control area, the communication traffic was abundant enough to even allow the use of three-dimensional virtual images.
Now, the n69 base is less than 200 kilometers away from Midnight City, but even the sound transmission is somewhat reluctant.
"My dear Su, let me guess why you chose to call me at this time.
Well, after capturing Mavos and Hodel alive, the more exciting news should be the capture of the n69 base.
What have you already Killed those damn mutants."
Even with a lot of noise, Victor's voice could be heard getting more and more excited.
"Mutants are easy to deal with."
Su replied with a smile.
Although it was impossible for Victor to see his smile, he believed he could hear it in his gentle voice.
Victor laughed loudly and said: "That's what it's for you to deal with.

Even if you eliminate a few lone mutants, I will often lose a dozen well-trained warriors.
After clearing this After the introduction of mutants, our western transportation line will become much safer, and the route can be shortened by dozens of kilometers, which means less time and less guards, and it also means more profits.
These profits will drive those businessmen crazy. " While listening to Victor's hearty laughter, Su walked leisurely until she reached a steep slope that was almost a cliff.
He stood on the cliff and listened quietly to Victor describing his grand blueprint.
Perhaps because he was too excited, Victor talked for a long time before he came to an end.
It was only then that Su said calmly: "I want this base."
"Of course" Victor's excitement didn't seem to subside, and he answered immediately, but after he uttered just one word, his voice suddenly stopped and stayed quiet for a few seconds before his voice sounded again.
This time he could It sounded helpless, reluctant and surprised: "No problem."
It is conceivable that Victor's expression on the other end of the remote intercom must be very wonderful.
A few seconds later, when Victor's voice sounded again, it had returned to normal to a large extent: "According to our agreement, n69 is yours.
However, it is difficult for humans to survive in places where mutants have lived. , since you have eliminated all the mutants, you should understand what I mean.
The cleanup work requires a lot of manpower and time.
Dear Su, can you tell me what made you so determined to get n69?
" "Because the base's water treatment unit can still be used."
This time, Su had no intention of lying.
Then the other end of the remote intercom was silent again
