Just as Lu Yang's marines guessed, there was a shelter facility built before the war.
From the moment you enter the tunnel, you can smell the strong smell of blood. All signs indicate that this place has become a place of sacrifice for these mutants many years ago, and the walls are covered with various chilling patterns with blood and grease.
However, what Lu Yang and his teammates did not expect was that in addition to some creepy skeletons, they actually found a broken hibernation capsule and a still working clone breeding device in this shelter!
This clone breeding device contains 24 cabins, in which you can even see underdeveloped embryos.
Perhaps because it was built too early, the biotechnology used in this breeding device is not very advanced, and it has not been updated in time.
Even if there is sufficient energy and raw materials, this device will take at least 3 months to breed a baby, and it will take 7 months for him to develop to the adolescent stage.
The builders of this shelter probably considered the extreme situation of sparse population after the war and hoped to use cloning technology to supply population for the post-war society. They even equipped this facility with a guide and a cryostasis chamber.
However, the cryostasis chamber has been broken for many years, and the people inside have long disappeared.
The mutants who occupied this place seemed to regard this facility as some kind of "miracle".
Just pour in the "raw materials", press the switch, and wait for 10 months, and you can harvest a white and tender human being.
For them who are bloodthirsty, ignorant and barbaric, this magical phenomenon is indeed no different from the gift of the gods.
As for these clones who came out of the incubator, the men are generally eaten by them in various ways, while the women are eaten in another sense.
Due to the use of unstable technology, there are many branches of mutants.
The two main branches are eunuchs without reproductive organs. They cannot reproduce in traditional ways and need to rely on human babies and culture tanks to "produce" their own kind.
The other type has reproductive organs, but because they only have mutant Y chromosomes, this type of mutants has no females and needs human eggs to reproduce.
If the pair is X and X, the fetus will be human, but the probability is very small. If the pair is X and Y, the fetus will be a mutant cub.
Once the latter situation occurs, the mother will mostly die of dystocia, and few people will survive. Even if they survive, the mutants will eat them quickly. After all, humans who have lost their reproductive function are no different from food to them.
Generally speaking, the former type of mutants are the earliest mutants and usually have a certain degree of civilization. It is said that a long time ago, they even retained the moral values of the pre-war society, knowing how to control the number of their own people to prevent more people from becoming victims of "unfinished technology"... although this fragile moral code did not last for a few years.
The latter type of mutants are pure savages, and they are also the fastest-breeding and most numerous. It is said that they are the ancestors of the former type of mutants, the result of their efforts in genetic engineering, but it is obvious that they have not solved the fundamental problem, or they have only solved their own problems.
In either case, one thing is certain, these green-skinned beasts are like tumors.
It is not an exaggeration to describe them as the cancer of civilization.
If they really rule this planet, then the only fate of mankind is probably to become their livestock, kept in captivity as food and reproductive tools.
"... Twenty-four cabins, on average they can harvest a new human every half a month. In the past ten or even dozens of years, the clones born from that device have been repeating the desperate birth and death."
The reception room of the outpost.
Lu Yang, who came back from the mutant tribe, talked to Chu Guang about what he saw and heard in the mutant tribe with a sigh.
When Chu Guang heard that Captain Lu blew up the place after taking photos for evidence, he finally couldn't help cursing him in his heart.
However, with his high emotional intelligence, he still said politely.
"Well done."
Lu Yang nodded and gladly accepted the compliment.
"Thank you for the compliment. I think this is what every human with a conscience would do. We can't let this technology fall into the hands of others."
Chu Guang: "Isn't it a bit absolute to say this? What if this technology falls into the hands of the right person? At least the technology itself is innocent."
Lu Yang smiled faintly and said: "What is the right thing? Slaves? Barbarians? Predators? A breeding ground for mutants? Or a source of organs? Technically speaking, mature embryo culture technology can produce an adult within a month, but this does not mean that he can immediately have the mind that an adult should have. Even if we can actively input a lot of information to them, the human brain has a limit to the speed of absorbing and processing information, and some things must be established when the brain is not yet mature."
"I'm not an expert in this area. I can't discuss the theoretical possibilities with you, but from what I have seen, few people use this kind of thing in the right place... By the way."
As he spoke, Lu Yang suddenly remembered an important thing and placed a fist-sized round tube on the table beside him.
Chu Guang was about to ask what it was, but Lu Yang continued.
"This is the fusion battery I found in that shelter. Don't be nervous... This cold fusion battery is very safe. As long as it doesn't melt, you can even put it under your pillow."
Chu Guang: "This joke is a bit cold."
Lu Yang laughed and said, "Maybe! I'm not very good at telling jokes. This model is very common in civilian shelters. Although it can't be used in the nuclear fusion reactor of the shelter, I heard that some shelters have emergency power supplies that are compatible with this type of battery? We can't use it anyway, but I think you may need it. However, after being used by those mutants for so many years, its power is only 11%, I'm afraid it can't help much."
"It's not bad to have 11%," Chu Guang smiled and took the battery decisively, "Thank you, it's a great help!"
...
Although it is a battery that requires professional equipment to use, it's better to have it than not.
What if it comes in handy someday?
Chu Guang has a door card for Shelter No. 117, which he got from Xia Yan. If the shelter runs out of power, at least this battery can keep it working for a while.
After leaving the battery here, Lu Yang and his team members said goodbye, and Chu Guang politely sent them to the gate of the outpost.
It was getting late.
According to Captain Lu himself, he would have to write a report after returning tonight, explaining today's actions, where he and his team members used the ammunition, and why it was necessary to do so.
Chu Guang could probably tell that Captain Lu was a man full of justice.
At least he was a chaotic good who "does what he thinks is right", or a lawful neutral who "acts impartially".
However, Chu Guang was actually more inclined to the former judgment.
After all, he was finally convinced by himself and broke the rule of not intervening in the disputes of the locals.
Besides that, what about the embryos that have developed to different stages of life in the cloning facility that he blew up? And what about those poor people who are pregnant with mutant children?
Chu Guang certainly wouldn't ask, and Lu Yang didn't say it either.
But he felt that the man in front of him would probably decisively end the suffering of those poor people and send away those lives that hadn't opened their eyes in the culture tanks.
Chu Guang only sighed that it was fortunate that this guy was not a lawful and kind saint who didn't send the troubles that he couldn't take care of to him.
Otherwise, he really didn't know how to deal with it more appropriately...
Seeing that those NPCs who couldn't communicate had left, he coveted the [WC Really Has Mosquitoes] equipped on them, and couldn't wait to walk to Chu Guang's side and asked.
"Dear administrator, may I ask who those people are..."
"Guests from afar, they have encountered a little trouble, and they will probably stay here for about half a month."
After saying this, Chu Guang turned around and returned to the outpost base, and took the elevator back to the shelter.
It was already seven o'clock in the evening in the wasteland, and there was a twelve-hour time difference with the real world.
Many small players who had to go to work during the day had already logged off at this time, and went to the forum to fish.
As a planner, Chu Guang should also work.
Turn on the computer and log in to the official website.
As expected, the official website has become lively.
Tail: "Shocked! Have you seen those tin cans? (*゜Д゜)"
Elf King Fugui: "I saw them! They first appeared at the north gate of the base? Then they went out from the east gate, and seemed to go to the east of the wetland park?"
Crow: "I saw them too! Just before they left, they bought me a bowl of mushroom soup, but they gave me paper money... I didn't dare to say anything. They stared at me for a while, then left with the pot. Waiting online, very urgent, who knows how to use the paper with 100CR written on it? QAQ"
Edge paddling: "Yes! East of the wetland park! They were here just now! Fighting with those mutants!"
Construction site boy and brick: "What the hell? Power armor against mutants? Tell me, who won?"
Borderline: "Isn't this nonsense? It's a massacre! Hey, I guess the planner realized that the mutants were too difficult, so he swiped a group of max-level bosses to kill them for the plot."
Crow: "No one knows?! QAQ"
Irena: "I don't know, how about I exchange 1 silver coin with you? (Funny)"
Crow: "Do you think I'm a fool! (#｀Д)"
Tail: "To be honest, Tail wants one! Is it too late to start saving money now? (o▽)o"
Sisi: "Awei, wake up, you don't have money."
Tail: "!∑(Дノ)ノ"
WC really has mosquitoes: "Really? I said that the strength of this mutant is a bit outrageous! Such a big rocket can't kill it! Is this reasonable?"
Midnight Killer: "鶸!"
WC really has mosquitoes: "%￥#@!"
Canyon escaped mole: "Let's analyze rationally. The content of this in-game update is probably to complete the science fiction part of the game background and balance the strength of mutants. After all, it's too outrageous to let a group of rookies with an average level of less than 5 go to a group of green-skinned musclemen who are level 20 or above! The space here is too small. I will open a separate post to talk about it later. Don't worry, my friends. I will modify a PPT for the boss first."
Looking at the excited discussion posts in the forum and the analysis posts posted by the masters, Chu Guang, who was thinking about how to write the Alpha0.7 update announcement, couldn't help but smile.
I was just worrying about how to make up a story.
Isn't it here?
Great.

["Land Boat" expansion pack background: A land fortress named Pioneer is anchored 10 kilometers north of the shelter. They came from the distant east coast and went to the west in search of hope. Although we chose different paths from them, we all swore solemnly under the banner of the People's Union. ]
[Introduction to the expansion pack: During the duration of the expansion pack, a new mission system and activity gameplay will be unlocked. A land fortress named "Pioneer" will be refreshed in the north of the outpost, and the NPC "First Pioneer Corps Quartermaster" will be added to the outpost.
Register at the quartermaster NPC to go to the camp ten kilometers away to support our allies and unlock the exclusive mission of the expansion pack during the event. The maximum number of players in each reinforcement operation is 200, and they will rotate after three days.
In addition to generous rewards for completing tasks, there are also activity points to be claimed. After the expansion pack ends, the activity points can not only be used for lottery and redemption of prizes, but the top ten players will also have the hope of unlocking limited titles and mysterious gifts from allies! What will it be? Your planner A Guang is also looking forward to it! ]
