My apocalyptic heroine has come true

Xiao Lai closed the door and then squatted down to open the box.

From the appearance, these shells are similar to those he produced himself.

Xiao La's ammunition was basically pressed out of molds by residents of the shelter. Although he had refined it numerous times, achieving peak performance, it was still handmade, so there were some discrepancies and occasional misfires.

After taking out the ammunition from the box, Xiao La was surprised by the smooth and flat metal shell before he had time to weigh it.

It doesn't look... like it was made by humans.

Fully mechanized manufacturing?

"This shell is 1.5 times more powerful than an ordinary black powder shell."

Fang Ming said slowly, "I'm giving you these five. You can use them for experiments anytime."

Xiao Lai suppressed his astonishment and slowly closed the box.

Standing up, Xiao La took out a cigarette and lit it for himself.

He looked at the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft in front of him and asked the question that concerned him most.

"...You're giving them to me. Does that mean you don't intend to trade the energy crystals with me?"

"What I want is just some junk metal found everywhere in the wasteland. I don't even ask you to sort and disassemble it... These things are not worth exchanging energy crystals with you."

Fang Ming's voice came from the microphone of the reconnaissance plane:

"Since we all want to be each other's 'good neighbors', then, as good neighbors, we should establish a good cooperative relationship."

"You provide the raw materials, and I am responsible for the processing." Fang Ming concluded.

"..."

Xiao Lai listened carefully to the young man's proposal. He did not rush to put forward his own conditions. Instead, he calmed down, sat back on the sofa and drank a sip of tea.

"I admit that we should help each other. You have sufficient skills, and I have strong resources as a foundation..."

After a few seconds' pause, Xiao La glanced at the shells on the ground before continuing.

"But I have to remind you of one thing."

Xiao Ba's tone became a little more serious.

Fang Ming lowered the drone's altitude and aimed the camera at his face, looking like he was listening attentively.

"Originally, I shouldn't have told you about this. You've just arrived here and don't know the situation here... But as time goes by, this matter has long been out of control."

"Considering the future of our two shelters, I think we should really have a deep collaboration."

Xiao Ba raised his face, which was covered with hideous scars, and asked Fang Ming:

"...Before that, I want to confirm something with you."

"You said."

"You weren't the one who blew up Shelter 0331, right?"

"Of course not," Fang Ming felt there was no need to hide this, so he spoke frankly.

"If you know anything about the bombing of Shelter 0331, please tell me. I'm willing to pay you with energy crystals for this information."

"..."

Hearing this, Xiao Ba took a deep breath.

"It's not you..."

Come to think of it.

If the other party was really the one who blew up the 0331 shelter into ruins, then the missile last time would have razed 2737 to the ground as well.

Although the young man standing before him still had a lot of details to tell, Xiao Ba was certain of one thing...

He possesses a 'conscience' which is rare among people in this world.

In this apocalyptic world where resources are depleted and lives are devastated, there is a man who possesses great power but does not lose his humanity...

Being able to work with him is an opportunity for Shelter 2737.

It's much better than those city people who eat people without leaving any bones.

"I need to provide you with some information."

Xiao Ba adjusted his facial expression and said seriously:

"Shelter 0331 was destroyed by artillery shells because a large number of mutant species appeared around it. These mutants violated their genetic defects and were able to move freely during the day... I call this species 'white'."

"The white race disrupted the survival rules of the wasteland. Someone above discovered their existence and opened fire, destroying 0331 and the white race along with it..."

"I don't have the power to investigate the truth behind those people. But there's one thing I can be sure of... that is, the birthplace of the white race is beneath Shelter 0331."

"I already knew this from the information provided by the 0331 administrator long before the 0331 shelter was destroyed. The people there probably detected the white people emerging from underground, so to save trouble, they dropped the missiles directly there."

"But now, the worst has happened." Xiao La paused and said.

“The white race is not gone.”

"Not only do we have to face the threat posed by the mutant spiders during the day, but we also have to be on high alert and be mentally prepared to be bombarded by those people at any time."

"The former can cause us to die slowly, while the latter... will make us disappear directly."

Xiao Ba said this with a serious expression.

The drone camera focused on his face moved a few times.

Fang Ming did not rush to express his opinion. Xiao La waited for a moment before adding:

"I went to the city a couple of days ago... Fortunately, the news about the appearance of the white race did not spread."

"This proves that the white people's range of activities is limited, and the number of reproduction is not exaggerated..."

"We still have a chance."

Xiao Ba clenched his fists and said loudly:

"We still have a chance to proactively eliminate those people before they discover the white race again!"

The other side of the phone.

Fang Ming put on headphones and listened to the information quietly.

He picked up the cherries that the nurse had just washed and put them in his mouth.

Originally, he just wanted to come to Shelter 2737 to exchange some metal for making artillery shells...

Now I have obtained some incredible information.

Fang Ming was also keeping an eye on the mutant species that appeared during the day.

He asked Xia Xiaochi about the specific situation, but as a resident on the ground floor of 0331, Xia Xiaochi was not aware of it.

Fang Ming originally planned to wait until he settled down before asking Xiao La for this information.

Now it seems... there is no need for him to ask.

It turns out that the matter has become urgent for a long time.

Those mutant species actually came from near Shelter 0331?

This is consistent with Fang Ming's guess at the time that 0331 was blown up.

While thinking, Fang Ming suddenly remembered the images of the mutated spiders he saw when he came here today.

The silvery-white metal that appears on their surface is no accident.

Maybe they are not just reproducing...

They may still be evolving.

"We don't have much time left. If those white people multiply in large numbers, our home will be finished!" Xiao La said in a louder voice.

He rarely shows this side of himself.

In the cruel wasteland, any feeling of 'uneasiness' is taken as a sign of weakness.

However, in order to arouse the other party's emotions and make him understand that the current situation is indeed urgent, Xiao La distorted his facial expression to the maximum.

There was silence for a long time.

Fang Ming then spoke:

"Have you ever thought...what if, if I don't want to get involved in this, I can always 'move away'?"

Fang Ming's words made Xiao La's expression completely frozen.

The worst happened.

If the other party really just built a temporary shelter, then he can indeed move away at any time.

And once he leaves...

Xiao La's 2737 shelter was completely isolated and helpless.

Shelter 2737 has stood here for hundreds of years. Moving away means disbanding the original location and all residents will be left homeless.

The nearest shelter is fifty kilometers away. It is a question whether the residents can reach there, and whether the administrators of other shelters will accept them is also a question.

As for those city people... In the eyes of the city people, the residents of Xiaoba Shelter are not even worthy of being slaves.

And Xiao Ba himself...

He had worked so hard to climb to the position of administrator, so how could he just give up?

Instead of facing those unknown variables, it is better to give it a try.

Besides, this opportunity did appear in front of him.

The owner of the Ark Shelter wants to take root and develop here, and he wants to resolve this crisis.

What's wrong with taking advantage of each other?

"For you, it's just a matter of a few missiles... Since you've already built the shelter, moving would cause you more damage than the missiles, right?"

Xiao Ba tried his best to keep his tone calm:

"Launch your missiles and bomb the ruins of Shelter 0331 again. These mutant spiders all have nests. We just need to destroy their nests to curb their reproduction. We can then slowly deal with the remaining isolated groups."

The other side of the screen.
