Chapter 273: Repopulation Shelter No:205/Turbine Town (1)
"Get ready to storm inside the Repopulation Shelter! We'll take Lamia out from Turbine Town today!" Zhang Qin Feng ordered as the soldiers refitted themselves with the essential issued equipment.
Each of them looked fully committed to change the stalemate position today and retake control over a shelter.
And to make sure that this aim will be accomplished no matter what, sacrificing a few of them is necessary. Led by Satella, Alex, Queenie, and Shaun departed and charged into the Repopulation Shelter with their best men.
The battle for access into the shelter was nothing but hell. Explosives weapon is fired towards the fortified door one after another. Each time they broke into one section, the swarm of Tyrant-Type will be coming out to refrain them from taking a step further.
This process repeated a few times until they came into an open area.
It looks like the reactor room that can only be seen from the sci-fi blockbuster movies with million dollars budget. Supported by the bluish reactor in the middle, this machinery gave life to over ten thousand culture tanks ranging from 200cm to 230cm in length.
Inside each of the tanks was a cloned child that going through the process of adulthood. From its look, the nutrient source is yet to be contaminated because the clones had a regular heartbeat, the sign of life, etc.
But the process wasn't a quick one. Even with this technology still in operation, turning a zygote into a functional adult takes a year inside the growth tank.
There are three routes to choose from within the Core Reactor room.
They can either choose to visit the Operator Chamber, the Residence Chamber, or the Facility Chamber. It was a very straightforward design because this shelter's primary objective is not for life-sustaining but for reproduction.
Its reason for existence is to repeatedly produce disposable clones as workers to keep this world going without the need for the purer bloodlines to work by themselves.
"Feng, we came to a junction. Which way do you want us to go first?" Satella asked.
"Go for the Operator's Chamber. Our first concern would be taking control over the Repopulation Shelter before we explore the entire facility." Zhang Qin Feng replied. Since the vanguard force has already taken over close to half of this shelter's facility, it was time for Zhang Qin Feng to visit this place too.
He was in the middle of putting the equipment on him while he was talking with Satella.
After receiving his word, Satella pointed at the locked door with "Operator's Chamber" printed. Like the other two doors leading to different facilities inside this shelter, the door was about six meters tall. From her initial guess, the electricity required to operate this door would be ridiculous.
Explosives were planted on the door, focusing on the locks. They're expecting to at least open a hole in the door. Without the need to wait for Zhang Qin Feng's order, they begin their break-in attempt.
*BOOM!!!*
The detonation chain was almost enough to burst their eardrums. But to their surprise, the door is actually still intact and remains locked. Perhaps because it was the final defensive line to the overall control of this facility, it was heavily fortified.
And detonating the same amount of explosives would harm the structure because they're located underground right now. The entire facility might not cave in from that damage they did, but it would undoubtedly affect somewhat.
Torchgun is soon brought into the facility in a rush. Having no other choice to break this door apart, they can only rely on the most traditional method: using fire to melt part of this door away.
This method would take them long, but it is also the most reliable method.
In the meantime, Zhang Qin Feng had people with good knowledge in electronics start salvaging all the data they could get. Unsure if the facility would be helpful for them, Zhang Qin Feng decided to play it safe and move all movable parts of the base outside.
Even if this facility might turn out useless in the future, the gain from all the still usable spare parts inside here would undoubtedly benefit the Wind Base in the long run.
Only the number of spare Substance and Matter Printers inside this core room was already twice the Wind Base's amount. It was not exaggerating to say that Wind Base's production ability would be doubled from this moment onwards.
Also, it seems that Stein's function is somehow working on the third level control right in this Repopulation Shelter.
Although controlling the whole facility would still need him to access the Operator's Room, the Shelter's Facility and Residential door are not as strict as that room.
Halfway on their melting attempt on the door, Zhang Qin Feng has successfully broken into the firewall controlling the entrance to the Residential Chamber. But just as expected, there are no longer any survivors inside this place.
It would be fit to be called a sanctuary for sure if the Seed Crystal Virus outbreak didn't happen.
"Feng… Do you think we can use this place for ourselves in the future?" Satella took a glance over this residential area that was preserved beautifully.
Even Zhang Qin Feng, who enjoyed life akin to a noble back in his modern world, would still find this place out of the ordinary. The quality of life inside this shelter was far different from what he could see outside.
If they were compared, this was the pinnacle of a good life.
Was such comfort introduced to the modern world, the royalties, elites, and billionaires worldwide would flock here just to enjoy a night of this luxury.
"I'm sure that we could. But before this…" Zhang Qin Feng touched Satella's face as he answered her.
Let's clear this place and bring it up to the surface. I'm sure that we can create a sanctuary that everyone can live in the future." Zhang Qin Feng smiled while looking at Satella.
