Chapter 45: Armaments for a Rainy Day
The affairs within the shelter came to an end.
Su Wu switched the console screen back to the convoy in Jianghe City.
Continue to focus on directing the clearing of the road.
It was not until more than two hours later that he, feeling really sleepy, paused this boring work and planned to take a nap and rest.
At this time, the official record of the contribution value of Su Wu's refuge had reached 3500 points.
Ranked among the top 10 in all shelter contribution rankings.
The next morning.
Su Wu woke up to the sound of clear and ethereal singing.
He was in no hurry to get up.
I just closed my eyes and listened quietly to the gentle voice that seemed to cleanse my soul. After a long time, I reluctantly got up and washed.
Go through the corridor to the control center.
Looking at the vast hall, which was dominated by silver tones as always, Su Wu, who was still immersed in the lingering sound of the song, suddenly felt vaguely out of place.
"It seems that staying in the shelter for too long is causing psychological problems."
“Perhaps, we should consider building an artificial garden to relax our minds.”
After all, the place where Su Wu carried out his daily activities was only the residential area and the control center, an area of less than 300 square meters.
Even with the enhanced central air conditioning and air purifiers at the survival point, which keep the temperature and air quality in the shelter at the most suitable and natural level, it is impossible to avoid feeling depressed.
If this emotion has no way to vent, it will not disappear, but will only accumulate over time.
In the end, it will become a huge hidden danger that must be taken seriously.
I stood there in a daze for a while.
Su Wu shook his head and temporarily suppressed this inexplicable thought.
He sat down at the control console and started by checking the shelter's logs.
During this period of rest, no accidents occurred in the shelter. However, with the continuous work of the special transport vehicles, the sand and stones piled on the surface of the shelter have almost become a small mountain, and there is no need to worry about shortages for a long time.
Over in the urban area of Jianghe City, the efficiency of clearing the convoy was greatly reduced due to the absence of Su Wu's personal command.
They dug out a passage of nearly a hundred meters in the ruins of a pile of building debris that was almost four or five meters high.
It seems that the workload is huge, but the actual contribution value is pitifully small.
As a result, Su Wu's ranking in contribution value, which had been in the top ten before going to bed, had dropped out of the top twenty.
"Don't they all take a break?"
Su Wu checked the surveillance footage from the urban area and couldn't help but complain when he saw the excavators and bulldozers still busy at other shelters.
But this kind of thing, in fact, you only need to think about it a little bit to understand it.
Not everyone is as short of labor as Su Wu. Whether it is official or private, most of the shelters are currently overcrowded. For the sake of efficiency, they can rotate workers. Even if there are casualties, it is a good thing for the shelter, which can reduce some of the pressure of support.
After thinking about it, Su Wu suspended the task of the second special transport vehicle to mine sand and gravel and transferred it to the urban area.
There is already enough sand and gravel, and there is no place to store it if we collect more. If there is another storm, our work might be in vain, so we might as well bring it to the city to work.
Ten minutes later.
The newly built special transport vehicle rushed over to join the cleanup team.
Two professional construction vehicles, under the precise control of artificial intelligence, worked tirelessly and efficiently to clear obstacles on the road. Very quickly.
The contribution value of Su Wu Shelter began to grow rapidly again, rushing towards the top three.
In the afternoon, when Su Wu had lunch and sat in front of the console again.
The contribution value of the shelter has exceeded 1 points, second only to the first-ranked medium-sized enterprise-level shelter.
"Owen's Sanctuary."
Su Wu glanced at the name of the number one shelter and felt that it looked familiar. He recalled carefully and remembered that someone had mentioned on the local channel that the shelter was originally a generic drug factory, which was famous for exploiting workers and treating them harshly. It also seemed to have a background in organized crime and employed many thugs.
"No one does anything in peacetime."
"Now..."
Su Wu frowned, unable to imagine what kind of life the ordinary people living in the Owen shelter were leading.
Slaves in modern society?
Shaking his head, Su Wu sighed slightly and put these bad associations behind him.
In the end times, there were too many people suffering. He couldn't sympathize with them all, and he was lucky enough to be able to live his own life well.
"But then again, since Owen's refuge has a background in organized crime, I think he must be used to being domineering on a daily basis."
"We will definitely not tolerate anyone snatching food from them."
"We have to be a little careful about them."
After changing his mind, Su Wu began to pay attention to the relationship between his own shelter and Owen's shelter.
He doesn't mind speculating the other person's reaction in the worst possible way.
Judging from the efficiency currently demonstrated by the two special transport vehicles, it won’t be long before they surpass each other in contribution value.
The reward difference between the first and second place is a full 1 contribution points.
This is not a fortune that can be easily ignored. If one is not careful, the other party may come to trouble him under impulse.
Feeling a sense of crisis, Su Wu immediately became restless.
He opened the shelter's armament list.
There was an experience last time where a large truck was robbed on the road.
There are quite a few things in the current arsenal that can be called weapons.
Two K2 series agricultural drones with rocket launch slots, ten folding shooting platforms, two automatic rifles, and 4000 bullets.
If used fully, these weapons are almost enough to fight a small battle.
"not enough."
"You need to add a little more."
Su Wu was a little dissatisfied. These weapons were originally designed to target a small group of thugs. They did not seek accuracy, but only to use the most intense firepower and the most overwhelming advantage to wipe them out in the shortest possible time.
But now the enemy has been replaced by a medium-sized shelter with at least tens of thousands of people and a better degree of organization.
It's not safe enough.
In extreme cases, even if all the ammunition is used up, it may not be possible to completely destroy them.
Although he could seek official help if a conflict really broke out, there were always unexpected events. If the official was delayed or simply ignored his request for help, he would still have to rely on himself in the end.
