Wasteland Survival Code

Chapter 498 Dark River
Chen He glanced at the monster's corpse in the carriage with lingering fear, and slowly shook his head: "I've never seen such a thing before, and the most troublesome mutant creature I've encountered before is nothing more than a wild dog's size. bloodthirsty rats."

"Fortunately, these monsters are just wandering in the tunnel. If they run into the shelter, I'm afraid it will cause quite a commotion." These mutated creatures must pass through the station if they want to enter the shelter from the tunnel, but no matter which one The stations of the refuge must be heavily guarded by the army, and the small, inconspicuous bloodthirsty rats and mutant beetles may be able to sneak past the guards, but there is no way for such a monster escaped the interception of the guards.

"Yeah, I bought this line from an information dealer at a high price. I know that there are no more than ten private trains in this abandoned subway tunnel. It was originally a good way to make a fortune, but today, I am I won’t dare to go this way next time.” Chen He smiled wryly.

It is indeed important to make money, but the premise is also to have life. If Qi Lin was not in the car today, the couple would have died in this dark and deep tunnel, and the corpses would have been eaten up.

"Other tunnels may not be 100% safe." Qi Lin sighed. If this kind of monster can appear here, it can naturally appear in other places. After all, the underground transportation network is connected together, and the official train has The guards with powerful firepower may not be afraid of these monsters, but if a private train like Chen He living in the gray cracks hits, it will be very difficult to have a chance of surviving.

"I have to find a way to get two good guns in the car. To be honest, I also have a son who is studying in the academy of the Tianzhi Foundation. As long as he can successfully complete his studies, he can become a member of the Tianzhi Foundation." Assistant engineer, we can rest then." Chen He said.

Qi Lin was stunned. Schools are not common in shelters—ordinary civilians still have problems with food and clothing, and have no money to send their children to school, while those rich and powerful children have special tutors to tutor them. , Therefore, the school, the most common institution in the society of the old age, is almost nowhere to be found in the refuge.

But Tianzhi Academy is different. It is an institution of higher education founded by Tianzhi Consortium, which allows the children of ordinary people to enroll. There are dozens of majors in mechanics, biology, energy, military, etc., all of which are aimed at cultivating people who can rebuild the wasteland. Talents are born, and art courses such as art and music cannot be found in the subject list of Tianzhi Academy.

Students who can graduate from Tianzhi Academy can directly enter the Tianzhi Consortium to work, which is simply the dream of countless people.

However, Tianzhi Academy is also famous for its high tuition fees - an ordinary family of three living in the middle area can barely pay Tianzhi Academy's one-month tuition fee with half a year's daily expenses.

It turned out that this Chen He still had a son who was studying in Tianzhi Academy, no wonder he had to take such a big risk to come out to smuggle.

Chen He rested for a while, then walked into the driver's cab with Qi Lin's support, seeing his injured husband, the woman operating the train finally couldn't help crying, big tears dripped down on the console.

"Crying, what does it look like, isn't I still dead!" Chen He snorted, and then smiled at Qi Lin, "No way, the two of us used to be employees of the railway company. Apart from trains, there is almost no other technology, and just buying this engine that is about to be scrapped makes us owe a whole lot of debt..."

Almost all the money that can be borrowed in the shelter is usury. Qi Lin knows this very well. Although Chen He and his wife can make a lot of money by running back and forth, but after repaying the usury and paying for their son to go to school After the tuition fees, I am afraid there are not many points left.

"By the way, what kind of cargo are you transporting this trip?" Qi Lin asked curiously.

"Tobacco." Chen He glanced back. Except for the relatively empty third carriage, the first and second carriages were all filled with large wooden boxes, leaving only a narrow passageway that could only pass through by one person. aisle.

"These tobaccos are all good things left over from the old days."

Although tobacco is not a contraband, high taxes and fees have to be deducted when entering and exiting various refuge stations. The next time you enter a consortium's refuge, you have to pay taxes again. After several rounds of deductions, there is almost nothing left of the original huge profits, and you may even lose a lot of money.

"How much tobacco is there in total?" Qi Lin asked curiously.

"This time we recruited a big customer - a box of 22 kilograms of tobacco, a total of [-] boxes, which is [-] tons! After this trip, as long as the goods can be delivered safely, I can Get a reward of [-] resource points!" Speaking of this, Chen He rarely showed a hearty smile on his face, although this smile lasted for less than a second—the corner of his grinning mouth touched his face. The terrible wound on the wound made Chen He cry out in pain immediately.

Four point four tons of tobacco, if it is processed into finished tobacco, calculated according to the ratio of ten to one, that is four hundred kilograms...

What is the concept of four hundred kilograms?
In the black market of the shelter, cigarettes made from tobacco left over from the old era are all in high demand. The cheapest one costs three to five resource points, and how much can a cigarette weigh? , I'm afraid it weighs less than a gram.

The value of the things on this train is completely astronomical.

The owner of the goods is willing to trust Chen He and his wife to transport the goods, probably because they know that they have a son who is studying at Tianzhi Academy. If Chen He and the others die in this tunnel in an accident, the owner who lost the goods will It is conceivable on whom to transfer the anger to.

Qi Lin not only saved Chen He and his wife, but also saved their son who was far away in Tianzhi Academy.

"By the way, are you planning to drive directly into the official station of No. 906 shelter?" Qi Lin asked suddenly.

"How could it be—" Chen He responded immediately, "Although Vault 906 is a rare 'neutral port', it doesn't give any tax relief to the consortium alliance on tobacco, besides, I'm a black train , unloading goods at official stations can easily cause unnecessary trouble.”

"Then how do we enter Vault 909?"

"Go to the 'port', and then take the waterway." Chen He said mysteriously.

"Water, waterway?" This time it was Qi Lin's turn to wonder.

"Yes, the waterway—the underground river."
