I give the world destruction and new life

Chapter 628 Sanctuary March

September 2057, 9, Night City.

Compared to before, the streets of Night City have become a little quieter at this time, and there are no bustling crowds anymore, and there is no heavy traffic.

Because of the threat of nuclear war, many Night City residents left the city in search of a safer living space. After all, Night City is the city that most attracts nuclear bombs in the world.

The grievances between the players and Tang Ji are well known in the world. If the players are free one day, it is completely reasonable to drop some nuclear bombs on Night City through the Dimensional Gate.

There are also many people who were absorbed by the several large shelter construction projects inside and outside the city of Night City. With the financial turmoil and the outbreak of wars one after another, a large number of small and medium-sized companies went bankrupt, and the unemployment rate in Night City was once from 20.00% four surged to 40.00% six.

You must know that although the unemployment rate in Night City has been high, it is because many people at the bottom are gangsters. They are unemployed without a job in name, but they are actually engaged in gray business with high risks and high rewards.

But the unemployment frenzy a while ago was real unemployment. A large number of companies went bankrupt, and investors jumped off high-rise buildings every day, leaving their bodies bloody.

Those corporate dogs who are used to white-collar life either have large unpaid loans, or are contaminated with various extravagant "bad habits", such as the little black bottle version of Bliss Paradise, which is said to allow people to protect themselves on the basis of being happy. Liver, nourishes hair.

But the good news is that there are more bank failures, and it is too late to complete mergers and acquisitions and debt transfers. Many people find themselves out of debt overnight and become 'free people'.

It's a pity that they will soon jump from one pit to another. The good news is that the seats in the shelter are given priority to the residents of Night City. The bad news is that even so, the seats are very scarce.

According to the statistics two years ago in 2055, Night City had a population of nearly 700 million, but the shelter currently being built by the Night City government can only accommodate 20 people.

Even with the shelters built by the Valentino gang and several other private companies, only about 50 people were lucky enough to end up underground.

Federal shelter No. 97, which is currently being built by the Bear Gang, is marked as a super-large shelter in the federal archives, which can accommodate about 5 people. The entire shelter is cylindrical and deeply inserted into the ground. The top cover acts as the first line of protection.

The entire shelter was poured in the underground area using a new type of cement. Superhumans were involved in the entire process, and the technical specifications in all aspects were very bold.

Anthony Hopkins is the supervisor of the shelter. He has the highest authority in charge of quality review, has the right to terminate the project at any time, and will directly become the first manager of the shelter after the shelter is put into operation.

The former leader of the Bear Gang and the current director of the Mammoth Engineering Construction Group, Isla Barros is now convinced by Anthony and behaves very well.

What should you do if a person has no family, no hobbies, but has a background, is upright, rigid, and businesslike?Barros had no choice, he could only learn what hypocrisy and pretentiousness were with a smile all over his face, what was
Forget it, there is nothing to call it. Others do engineering deception to make money, but Baross deception is just to survive.

Anthony stared at the whole project, not allowing any flaws to appear. The people below wanted to profit from it, but they were dealt with several times. Now there are great complaints in the gang, and some people even proposed to kill Anthony and change the manager.

Barros had to assure Anthony that there would be no problems with the project, while explaining to his men that it was not the time to take money.

He couldn't figure out whether this group of people had trained their muscles into their brains, or drank too much protein powder, and their brains were coagulated. Don't these people know that Tang Ji is behind Anthony?And what time is it now, if you don't build a shelter, did you take the money to buy a cemetery?

However, even though Burrows was sober in the world, he couldn't stand the lack of prestige after he took over the Violent Bear Gang, and he hadn't been able to make money with this gang of muscular sticks, so he couldn't control the evil thoughts of his subordinates.

The only thing he can do is to take the initiative to express to Anthony that a group of street fighters who split from the Violent Bear Gang recently may, perhaps, probably want to harm him. Enhance personal security.

In the end, Anthony glanced at Barros like a fool, and left directly. In the afternoon, Barros received a report that half of the middle and high-level members of the Bear Gang under his command suddenly died, all of them were sniped and killed by someone from a long distance. The most exaggerated one The bullet pierced through three walls, killing the driver manning the engineered exoskeleton in one shot, with no damage to the exoskeleton itself.

"Can you control your gang now? I need you to increase your workload by 30.00% starting today." As soon as Barros received the news, Anthony walked into his office with a report on his back: "97 Vault No. [-] must be completed by December [-]st."

"But...but in less than three months, we can't possibly complete all the work!" Barros said nervously after hearing the request for the construction period, even ignoring the sudden death of the gang backbone: "Even if the workload increases by 30.00%, it will not be too late." Possibly, some prefabs are still in transit and must be constructed sequentially.”

Barros suddenly realized something while talking, his whole face suddenly turned pale, and he asked in a more nervous tone: "Mr. Anthony, I know about your relationship with Tanguy. You said that it must be completed before December [-]st. Refuge, do you have any inside information? Or."

"I didn't say anything, but this is an order from the federal government. If I were you, I would do my best to complete this task." Anthony still said expressionlessly, but it was enough for him to come to Barros specifically. I mean it.

"Those prefabricated parts will arrive before your project progress, you don't need to worry about it, and." Anthony looked at Barros and said word by word: "Our conversation is confidential, so don't let others guess unreasonably."

Barros swallowed, and nodded vigorously.

How he understood this order, Anthony didn't know, he just followed the morality in his heart and hoped to save as many lives as possible.

Although Mikkelsen's apocalypse plan did not spread to the entire team, as the closest people to Tangy, they always had a way to get more news than others.

Coupled with the federal government's emergency order, Anthony can easily speculate that Mikkelsen's big plan may be about to start, but no one knows the true scale of the apocalypse plan, and Anthony simply thinks that this is the beginning of an all-out nuclear war .

In the face of professional soldiers like Anthony, nuclear bombs are really not that scary. During the corporate war, both sides were using tactical nuclear bombs, and now the war between humans and players has normalized nuclear wars.

In fact, its impact on the human world is negligible. Except for a few cities that were directly destroyed by nuclear bombs, people in most places are not affected even in their daily lives, but sometimes they need to take additional protection against the dust containing radiation.

Anthony knew that Barros was not a person who kept secrets. The time of December [-]st would soon spread throughout Night City through his mouth, and all the forces that were building shelters would be reminded of this.

As he expected, the news soon flowed from Barros, and the Valentino gang was the first to respond. Gusvota directly distributed the high-end products of Bliss Paradise to the construction site as necessities, requiring all workers to work ten hours a day. Eight hours, but he also promised that all workers would get their place in the shelters.

It's just that the Valentino gang doesn't know that in Mikkelsen's plan, although there are nearly twenty permanent shelters in Night City, the only one that is really located in the "safe point" is the one where Anthony is. refuge.

In the apocalypse plan, Night City is the key target. The whole plan is not as simple as simply detonating a nuclear explosive device, it is just the last step.

Before detonating, Mikkelsen must ensure that as many players are online as possible. After all, no matter how powerful the weapons in this world are, and no matter how special Tang Ji is, they can only kill and injure players who exist in this world, and cannot threaten players who are offline. state of the player.

As for how to get as many players as possible online on Apocalypse Day, Mikkelsen already has a detailed plan.

"The whole city is like a big construction site now. I haven't seen this kind of scene for many years." Edward was half lying on a beach chair on the balcony of a high-rise apartment in the Heywood District, wearing shorts and slippers, with a relaxed expression. Looking at the distance with interest.

There, the rumbling construction machinery was under construction, pouring the soil dug out from the depths of the ground to the ground. Tang Anran's life support cabin was placed next to it, leaning against the balcony wall, as if it was also basking in the sun.

"I liked these construction machines when I was a child, boys like them." Edward patted Tang Anran's life support cabin: "I guess he likes it too, what do you think?"

"I don't know. I didn't see these things when I was a child. I remember that everyone is proud of owning a real gun." Tang Ji stood in the shadows and watched the lively scene in the distance.

This is Edward's safe house, less than two kilometers away from the Valentino gang's shelter in downtown Heywood, and it happens to have a panoramic view.

"Do you think they can complete the entire shelter before everything happens?" Edward turned his head and asked.

But what responded to him was only Tang Ji's silence. Silence can represent many meanings, and today's one is undoubtedly negative.

"Christmas, tsk, that bastard Mikkelsen can think of such a fucking day, I sincerely don't want people to have a good time." Edward looked at the blue certificate representing the number of shelters in his hand, and gently moved the It was put back on the table: "I won't go, it's meaningless to be so old, and it doesn't make sense, and"

Speaking of this, Edward glanced at the life support cabin next to him, with a trace of regret on his face: "I don't think I will see the day when he can run in the sun in my life, give the opportunity to young people, anyone will do." .”

"You and An Ran are in the same refuge." Tang Ji said behind Edward: "Wu Qianying said that he would not stop the research on An Ran's genome."

"Her words can only lie to you, you idiot. If An Ran's problem could be solved so easily, a smart person like Wu Qianying would have found a solution." Edward stroked the surface of the life support cabin back and forth, as if he was stroking a baby. Smooth face: "She didn't solve it when she had a complete laboratory, and she didn't solve it when she had a whole team behind her to support her. Now she's going to live in a shelter. Can she solve it?"

"Impossible, people can't always lie to themselves." Edward moved the chair to make the distance between himself and the life-support cabin a little closer, patted the life-support cabin and said: "I believe that An Ran will get better sooner or later. , but this time may be 50 years later, it may be 100 years later, for me, it is the next life."

"I've been cool enough in my life, that is, I met you after I retired and had a miserable life, but I don't regret it, and I have nothing to regret. It's my choice not to go to the refuge, and it has nothing to do with you." Edward said freely He said, "It's just that I've come to my senses and wanted to do something good."

"A ticket can only save one person." Tang Ji picked up the voucher and put it in Edward's hand: "But you are different, you are very important, you are my last relative."

"You actually want to tell me that making you feel better and in a better mood is very important to the world, right?" Edward held the blue voucher in his hand and looked at Tang Ji with a smile, but his tone was serious up.

Tang Ji poked his neck and didn't answer, but that's what he meant.

"Do you have the face to do it but have no face to say it!" Edward knocked Tang Ji's head hard, but his hand hurt badly.

"Did I teach you this way! Others can think so, do this, and put you on the altar, that's their freedom, I can't control it, but you can't!" Edward stood up straight: "Didn't you always look down on me?" Greed, gluttony, envy, the seven original sins? If you think so, how are you different from them? It’s just that they walk fast, and you walk slowly!”

"You are right! I was wrong!" Tang Ji admitted his mistake cleanly, but still stuck his neck: "But you must go to the shelter! No one can say it! If you don't go, I will knock you out Put it in the life support cabin and freeze with An Ran!"

"You fucking little bastard's wings are stiff, aren't you!" Elder Edward's eyes widened. He never thought that you would be so shameless when Tangtang was furious: "Okay! Okay!"

Edward gasped for a long time before he managed to get his breath back. He looked at Tang Anran, then at Tang Ji and the blue voucher in his hand, and at the shelter in Heywood District, which was working overtime in the distance, finally sighed and pointed Looking at the refuge in the distance: "I don't ask you for anything else, you can find a relationship to mention their progress, and I will go there to finish the work before it is too late, okay!"

"Row!"
