Wasteland Survival Code

Chapter 663 The Empty Garbage Treatment Plant

After getting rid of the giant centipede, the team didn't encounter any threatening mutated creatures, and got out of the sewage pipe smoothly.

On the top of the sewage pipe is a large cutting machine with metal fan blades over ten meters long. The garbage that cannot be recycled is compressed into pieces and transported here. This cutting machine shreds it and puts it into the sewage pipe , and then use the wastewater to flush it to the bottom of the landfill.

The garbage landfill is 260 meters from the surface, more than 444 meters deeper than the depth of Shelter 60. This is a naturally formed deep underground cave. It was originally a tributary of an underground river, but in this underground river The underground water in the shelter has been drained by the people in the shelter, and the hole left has been transformed into this landfill.

The five of Qi Lin and the others entered this landfill along the channel of the dark river, and then passed through a 70-meter-long, almost vertical sewage pipe to the current place.

This is a garbage processing factory, but at this time the factory has stopped operating, and the workers inside have disappeared. There are only a large number of compressed garbage piled aside, which has not yet had time to be processed.

However, it was precisely because of the shutdown of the garbage disposal plant that Qi Lin and the others were able to enter Shelter 444 through this secret passage. Garbage and waste water are enough to make it difficult for them to move.

"The workers here seem to have left..." No. [-] took off the filthy protective clothing, took out a box from the close-fitting package, and quickly assembled an SRS sniper rifle.

"Isn't what you said nonsense?" Falcon gave him a blank look, and took out his own weapons - a pair of Gauss submachine guns full of futuristic sci-fi atmosphere.

"However, first of all, we still have to find out whether the people here left by themselves or were taken away. This will also help us understand the current situation inside the No. 444 shelter." No. [-] took over the conversation and said.

"Whether they left by themselves or were taken away, this is very abnormal..." Number Four, the hacker, said, "I have also participated in several operations to suppress rebellions, and one of the largest A rebellion was initiated by the army commander of that refuge, and at the beginning of the rebellion, the rebel army almost controlled the entire refuge..."

"Are you talking about the rebellion in Vault 188?" Qi Lin asked casually.

"Yes, that should be the most famous rebellion incident in recent times. Although there are many doubts about this rebellion incident, the organization, refuge officials, and consortium alliances have concealed a lot of information, and there is very little public content, but it is said that As far as I know, any rebels, no matter what their purpose is—except for retaliation against society and suicide, as long as they have the ability to occupy a complete shelter, they will never let the daily facilities that maintain the operation of the shelter stop working of."

"Yes, although the mastermind will terminate the daily scheduling and material distribution of the shelter, relying on the inventory inside the shelter, the rebels can still persist for a long time..." No. [-] nodded thoughtfully.

"No. 444, you have memorized all the structural diagrams of Shelter [-] before departure. How many garbage disposal facilities are there in this shelter?" Qi Lin suddenly set his sights on No. [-]—— No. [-], that is, No. [-] in Qi Lin's team before, he is the only architect among the five, and he has a natural sensitivity to things like architectural drawings, so Qi Lin also entrusted all these tasks to him. .

"Only here."

"The problem is more serious than we imagined... Shelter 444, as the headquarters of the Aedas Consortium, has a permanent population of 10,000+ people. These 10,000+ people just eat and drink every day, and the excrement and waste produced Things will be a huge number, even if it can be recycled and reused, this ratio will definitely not reach 100%..."

"To be precise, the current average data on the waste recycling rate of each shelter is around 60.00%, and the No. 444 shelter is a bit higher than the average level, between 68.5% and 69%." No. [-] interjected.

"Then let it be 70% good, then there are 30.00% of the remaining garbage that has no recycling value, and it is conservatively estimated that there are more than ten tons. If these garbage cannot be disposed of in time, the living environment in the shelter will deteriorate over time. Rapid deterioration..." Qi Lin said with a serious expression.

"This kind of stupid thing can only be done by the uneducated and illiterate leader of the peasant uprising in ancient times. According to the information we have obtained, the leader of the rebel army is a high-level person from the Aedas Consortium. His purpose is to To seize power, what he wants is a complete Vault 444, not a large cemetery marked as 444."

"But this kind of thing...the organization should know something about it, so why didn't they tell us directly?" Falcon squatted on the ground, frowning, and rubbed the grip of Gauss's pistol with his thumb.

After all, the organization told them about this secret passage. In this case, the organization must also know that the only garbage disposal plant in No. 444 shelter stopped working. It can also be analyzed, and even more detailed and comprehensive. The daily amount of garbage accumulation can be accurate to the unit of kilogram, and there will not be much error.

This is very abnormal, very abnormal.

"Perhaps you think it's useless to tell us? After all, our mission is only to rescue the hostages. What the rebels want to do has nothing to do with us." Number Five shrugged.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple... Four, can you try to hack into the brain of Vault 444? Maybe we can find something else."

"The main brain should have cut off all connections with Vault 444. The brain that controls the Vault is currently in a locked state. It is very difficult to invade a locked system... I We can give it a try, but first we need to find a smart brain terminal."

"Is that kind of resource point trading terminal okay?"

"It's all right, as long as it's a device connected to the brain of the shelter."

"It should be easy to find... maybe there are nearby." Qi Lin nodded.

Just when they were about to leave here, a stumbling figure suddenly appeared in their field of vision. This figure broke through the guardrail around the waste treatment plant very roughly, and walked straight towards the five people.

The guardrail is welded with hollow steel pipes. Although its strength can only be regarded as average, it will take quite a lot of force to break it directly.

What's more, this person still dragged a long-handled fire axe in his hand, and the blade was still stained with blood that hadn't completely dried up.

The visitor was not kind, and No. [-] had already picked up the SRS sniper rifle with the silencer installed and aimed at the opponent's head.

"Don't kill him, shoot him in the calf, we need a living." Qi Lin said to his number five.

"No problem, I always point and hit—"

"Bah!"
