Chapter 958

"There is an abandoned large shield machine in that Triumph Hospital?"

At night, after hearing the message from the scavengers returning from Qinggang City, Su Mo couldn't help being a little surprised.

Shield machines will be used in mountain tunnels or underground railways.

But this thing is really rare enough, I heard that the cost of one is as high as hundreds of millions.

"There are not only shield machines, but also a lot of damaged medical equipment on the first floor of the emergency department of the Kaixuan Hospital that we investigated today. I don't know if it can be repaired."

Feng Long said so, and took out the camera, showing the pictures taken.

The first floor of the entire Triumph Hospital covers an area of ​​about 2,000 square meters.

All kinds of scattered utensils were thrown on the ground, some of which have been integrated with the floor over the years, and some are piled up in the corners like waste.

Conspicuous neutralizing mosses grow in disorder on the walls, and traces left by wanderers can be seen in the room and on the ground.

"Because the stairs to the second floor were completely blocked by people, Darren said that tomorrow he would bring something big to blow up the ruins blocking the road, so we only explored the first floor and hurried back."

"What about the mission objective? How is the collection?"

Flipping through the detailed pictures on the camera, Su Mo asked casually without raising his head.

He had heard about the Red Spider caravan's increased collection this morning, so it wasn't too surprising.

Maybe they also confirmed that the surrounding environment is indeed no longer Blue Star, but went to another world.

Then in the case of a sharp depreciation of commercial securities, the value of calm fans has increased a lot invisibly.

"If we followed yesterday's goal of 20g per person, we would have completed it, with an average of 23.5! But if we followed their new goal of 50g today, we would still be short of half the amount, and we would not have received an additional incentive award."

"It's okay, safety is the priority, we don't rely on this thing to make money, it's just to collect more intelligence."

Hearing the pity in Feng Long's tone, Su Mo couldn't help comforting him.

The scavengers who went to the fifth ring road of Qinggang City had to take a medicine called "Radiation Elimination Spirit" in advance.

Of course, this is not the nuclear radiation left over from the nuclear war in the pre-war era.

After all, more than two hundred years have passed, and if there is any radiation, the city of Qinggang would have been scorched.

The biggest effect of taking this drug is to counteract some radiation hidden in the corners of the city.

For example, exposed fuel rods, which can continuously emit radiation for nearly three hundred years.

Once prolonged unconscious contact, the human body will produce irreversible damage.

Besides, who would work hard for five coupons per day for one person.

You can earn back just by taking out a meal, okay?

As long as the Starscream caravan can be stabilized for a longer period of time, the more good goods they can get out of their hands.

"Huh, this is?"

After flipping through the pictures on the first floor of the emergency building, Su Mo suddenly let out a cry of surprise when he waited for the next picture.

Compared with the previous pictures, the building in this picture is obviously much more advanced.

The outer black-gray brick wall is very complete, and the few bright windows still reflect a glimmer of light.

The drainage pipes on the wall are well arranged and extend to the ground along the grooves prepared earlier.

At the bottom of the building is a huge door about five meters long and three meters high, showing a marble-like silver-gray color.

But in the picture, the door is closed.

If you look carefully, you can also see that there are many remaining gun holes on the surface.

"This is the convalescent building of Triumph Hospital. According to Darren, the defense inside is still in operation today."

"There used to be 500 guard robots that were comparable to power armor. If we can break in, we may find a lot of strategic materials."

"Sanatorium?"

Su Mo raised his eyebrows: "Darren told you about the five hundred robots?"

"Yes, he also said that there is a small arsenal under the nursing building, which can produce materials for maintaining robots, as well as ammunition and other strategic materials."

"oh?"

Hearing the word arsenal, Su Mo immediately became interested.

However, before he could ask again, Li Hu, who was in charge of guarding the territory, ran down the stairs on the first floor of the dungeon.

Seeing someone from a long distance, he yelled: "Director, it's bad, someone is coming from Qinggang Refuge!"

"They want to see you by name, and even know your general information. I suspect that there are spies in our territory!"

...

Rolling thunder accompanied by raindrops falling from the sky broke the tranquility of the night.

Sitting in the reception room that was built not long ago at the gate of Hope Village, Jasper Cid quietly looked out the window.

No, it shouldn't be outside the window.

This humble room didn't even have a single piece of glass, only a big empty gap with two pieces of wood hanging on it.

Sporadic raindrops blew in from the window and hit the concrete floor, quickly soaking it all up.

"The people here... are really old-fashioned."

Sid's assistant, Pyne, stood up and closed the wood chips inward to block the growing rain.

Hula!

A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, pierced through the fog, and swam towards the sky like a long dragon.

Payne shrank his head, and hurriedly walked back to the wooden bench in the reception room and sat down.

Qinggang City is located in the tropics on Blue Star. Although it often rains, the number of thunderstorms is only a handful.

In addition, most people often live underground, and have long lost awareness of what happened on the ground.

Even if it was just a series of dull thunders, it would only make people feel upset and a little anxious.

creak.

The wooden door opened, and a tall, neatly dressed woman walked in.

"Welcome the two of you who have come from afar to Tianyuan Sanctuary. It is raining and cold at night. May I ask if you two need some ginger soup to drive away the cold so as not to catch a cold?"

Listening to the other party's half-baked, robot-like pre-war Blue Star language.

Pine had been prepared for a long time, coughed lightly and said slowly: "Is there any hot coffee, we prefer to drink more of that."

"Yes, please wait a moment."

The woman showed a slight smile, turned around and retreated.

Not long after, when the door was opened again, two cups of fragrant hot coffee had been brewed in the porcelain cups, exuding a mellow aroma.

"It's actually ground from fresh coffee beans!"

"Hey, why is it so fragrant?"

A long distance away, Sid suddenly came back to his senses, his eyes fixed on the porcelain cup on the tray.

Wisps of hot air emerge from it, bringing a refreshing and unique cocoa taste.

Slightly sour, moderately roasted, with a slightly sweet aftertaste, with a scent of violets.

As an old gourmet who has tasted many flavors of coffee, Sid had already tasted some of the flavors before the tray approached.

"This is a high-quality coffee we specially prepared for two distinguished guests, please take it slowly."

"Where's your manager?"

"Our lord manager is already on his way, please wait a moment."

"OK."

Sid subconsciously waved his hand, focusing all his distracted attention on the coffee cup.

The Sirius coffee machine that was purchased with a lot of money in the Sunny Harbor Refuge can produce nearly 300 different flavors of coffee.

If it was just ordinary coffee, it would not be able to attract him to such an extent.

But the cup in front of him is completely different.

There are two completely conflicting flavors in its fragrance, one is violet and the other is sugar flower.

One is mellow and slightly bitter, and the other is sweet and silky.

How can this be?

How could anyone combine two completely conflicting coffee tastes?

Sid picked up the cup in disbelief, ignoring that there was still some mouth-burning liquid in it, and took a small sip.

call.

Hot air wafted from the mouth, bringing out a lingering aftertaste.

All right.

In addition to the two flavors, after drinking it, he tasted the third flavor.

It was the artisan coffee that he had tasted at a passing caravan a few years ago. The whole process was handmade, and the raw materials used were also the top coffee beans from the holy city. The price of a cup was as high as 125 business coupons.

After drinking the glass at that time, Sid couldn't forget it for years.

But now, he actually tasted a trace of that charm in this cup of coffee.

Although not much, only about one-fifth.

The shock that can be brought to people is far more than a simple cup of coffee.

"Well, it's really delicious."

Sid savored every morsel.

Pine next to him was not so elegant. He drank the whole cup of coffee like a cow chewing peonies, and sat comfortably on the chair to let out a sigh of relief.

He doesn't know what the taste of coffee means, but it's okay if it tastes good, and it's worth the two of them traveling all the way here.

In addition, the quality of coffee can also probably see the standard of living here.

It's not as retro as I thought it would be.

It seems that sending out the next invitation letter should be easier than expected.

Waiting quietly, just when Sid finished his last sip of coffee and looked at the bottom of the cup in a daze.

The wooden door outside was suddenly pushed open, and a man with extraordinary bearing stepped in.

The two looked up and immediately showed friendly smiles.

"This person should be... the manager of Tianyuan Refuge, Mr. Sumo?"

"Yes, I am the manager here."

Walking in from the outside, putting the umbrella lightly by the door, Su Mo also showed a kind smile.

The number one enemy in the surrounding area, Qinggang Refuge, suddenly sent an envoy, which he hadn't expected at all before.

Ideally, it would be best for the two sides to contact each other with at least a buffer time of three to five months.

But it's a pity that on such an ordinary night, the other party took the initiative to come here.

"We are from Qinggang City, the largest shelter in the city, you should know our Qinggang Sanctuary?"

"Um."

Sitting down in the chairs facing each other, Su Mo nodded slightly.

"That's it, you don't have to be nervous. We have received a lot of news at the Clear Harbor Refuge, confirming that this world is no longer the Blue Star we are familiar with, but has come to a different world that was opened hundreds of years ago. In the dimensional space. And we also know that the Tianyuan Refuge is not a local force on the blue star, but the aborigines of this different dimensional space."

"But please rest assured that we treat Qinggang City and the surrounding human settlements equally, and we will not treat them differently or even launch attacks because they are our own. I want to discuss specific matters in the future. Let me explain it to you first."

"Oh? May I know how you found my sanctuary?"

"This one."

Pine showed an expected expression, and confidently replied: "Maybe you haven't had a clear understanding of the strength of the Sunny Harbor Refuge in all aspects. In fact, as long as we are near the refuge, whether it is in the sky or underground, we will There is enough capacity to ensure that no accidents will happen."

"After the mutation occurred, we once launched a Sentinel microwave detector. Although most of the microwave transmission was cut off by the fog, we still successfully detected a strong signal response from your location."

"About three days ago, we clearly detected the specific situation here through high-altitude drones."

"It's really surprising that Tianyuan Refuge still retains a large-scale above-ground planting, which is very spectacular."

It is not only explaining the situation, but also brightening the muscles.

There was no hidden meaning in Pine's words, and he showed a look of complete indifference.

In fact, you really don't need to care.

The Sunny Harbor Refuge, which has a large industrial base, can completely suppress even other old gophers in the city.

It is even easier to face the older Tianyuan Refuge.

In the footage captured by the high-altitude drone, there was no sign of heavy fire weapons detected at all.

Even the opponent doesn't even have the means to detect drones, which is enough to show the huge gap in strength between the two parties.

"We don't have the technology to produce starch and protein, and we really need to use farming to survive."

"Is that so?" Pyne nodded, just about to speak.

Sid, who was silent next to him, suddenly said:

"Mr. Su Mo, the coffee you provided us tonight...is it the taste produced by the machine?"

His face was still calm, but there was a slight look of anticipation in the corners of his eyes.

"It's not... As you can see, our agricultural and industrial capabilities are very backward. How can we afford such a luxury as a coffee machine?"

"Is that handmade?"

"Yes, if you still want to drink, I can..."

"I want to exchange the person who made this cup of coffee with 10,000 kilograms of starch and 5,000 kilograms of protein."

Sid shook his head and interrupted, all the anticipation in the corners of his eyes was concentrated in his eyes.

"Of course, this is not a sale. If you are willing to sell this high-quality coffee beans, I will also give you a reasonable price."

"Buyer?"

Good guy.

Su Mo was slightly taken aback.

The 10,000 kilograms of starch and 5,000 kilograms of protein made into food are enough to feed 2,000 people for a month.

As expected of a kid from a rich family, he can't be offended, can't be offended.

It is an unimaginable luxury that the other party offered such a sky-high price just for a cup of coffee.

"Sorry, I have no right to sell any of the residents of the shelter, this is their own personal freedom."

"But if you want, the door of our Tianyuan Sanctuary will be open forever, and you can come and buy a taste at any time."

"What if he wants to?"

Sid is still a little unwilling to give up, and his persistence is abnormal.

Of course, it's not that he wants to buy someone back to become a personal barista because of his appetite for the moment.

But behind this cup of coffee, he saw a huge business opportunity.

Not surprisingly, as long as you return to the Clear Harbor Refuge and maintain the production level just now, it will definitely become a humanoid self-propelled money-making machine!
