Chapter 36 - Accidents

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The green car started up and, under the officer's command, entered the checkpoint. Behind the gate was a stretch of sand where a few cars were parked. There were also some wreckage of cars. These things naturally could not be activated again, but the parts on their bodies could continue to display their residual heat, so they had not been disposed of.

In what might be called a parking lot, the car stopped. The people in the car got out one by one and trotted along with the officer in the hot noon sun. Behind the sand, a flat concrete floor was connected to it. Directly facing the entrance of the checkpoint was a six-story building. Apparently, the color of the walls above the third floor of the building was different from the ones below. It looked like it was repaired afterwards, but in reality, most of the buildings on the surface were like that in the Remot area.

Now they had reached the edge of the settlement, the zone of armed fire. The building in front of them was in fact acting as a post tower. At least four of the buildings had anti-aircraft guns installed. With just a quick glance, Zero could tell that these machine guns were arranged in an extremely meticulous manner. The intersecting firepower nets were enough to tear apart any intruders who dared to enter through the main entrance.

There were around a hundred or so post tower s and machine guns in the surrounding area of Remot. Although the Remot did not need an expensive defensive system like the surface-to-air missile system, but in terms of a residential area, the Remot was many times better than the Z7 base that he stayed in before.

Behind the outer fortifications was a water purification plant. With the Remot's resources, it was obviously impossible to construct a water purifying plant out of thin air. The main reason the creator of the settlement had chosen this area back then was because this place was still a water purifying plant from the old era. The Water Purification plant could no longer operate, but after ten years of hard work, it was able to produce ten tons of clean water per day for the inhabitants of Remot. Although there wasn't much water and there was some radiation in the water, he was much happier than if he had purchased clean water or depended on groundwater for a living.

Other than the Pure Water Plant, there were also two other food processing plants, which gave the residents of the Remot a variety of nutrition, Su, and a small amount of bread. Of course, it wasn't moldy bread that he had eaten, but hot bread that had been baked in the oven. During the turbulent times, it was already a luxury to be able to eat such bread. Naturally, this kind of bread was not cheap. At the very least, ordinary people would not be able to eat it.

Behind this industrial area was the Remot's residential area. They were houses that had completely restored and refurbished the homes of the inhabitants of the old era, which were only opened after the sun had set. Those who normally stayed in the underground base could rent a house from the Remot monthly, so that they could experience the old era after sunset.

Residents live in underground bases, work, and earn the wages they need to live. Then, through the purchase of food, water, loans and entertainment, he would allow the currency to flow back into the Remot's treasury, thereby maintaining the balance of income between the inhabitants and the settlement. Other than this portion of the residents' income, Remot could also increase his income by selling additional clean water, collecting various fees for joining the residents, and even setting up his own army to capture mutated organism and sell samples.

The extra income will be used to expand the size of the Remot and other projects to attract more foreigners and to work with other companies or corporate companies.

Undoubtedly, the founder of the Remot had a very long-term perspective. As a result, this place of settlement continued to grow at a steady pace at the edge of this continent.

At the entrance of the underground base, after a series of procedures. They rode in a private elevator and were led by a woman dressed as an office lady to an underground base that was two hundred meters deep.

Different from Z7, Remot's underground base obviously did not have Operating area's capabilities. This place was divided into four main districts, namely the living quarters, administrative districts, Commercial District s and temporary Stophouse s.

Amongst them, the was the smallest in area. They called them the Stophouse, but in reality, it was just an open space. Apart from the concrete floor, there was nothing else, not even a resting tent. Fortunately, Teddy and the others brought two tents, and opened it up. One of them let the child and the woman rest, while the other gave it to and Zero to thank them for paying the temporary living expenses.

Not long after they were set up, a few guards wearing protective gear came down from a group of soldiers and arrived at Stophouse. This was a quarantine procedure specially prepared for outsiders. If a virus infection or genetic mutation was detected in the personnel, they would be chased out of the base along with the others. If you don't want to go, a dozen microcomputers will rush you out of your way.

Teddy and the others were very nervous. Honestly speaking, if one of them was infected with a virus, the others wouldn't know as long as it didn't happen. As a result, the people at Dare base were quite nervous as they watched the inspectors sweeping the probing equipment around their bodies.

But the ones who were most nervous were none other than Lea and Lea.

Before this, the only thing he saw on the map was the words Remot used to mark the living area. In his understanding, the living area was the place where the people in the wilderness lived together. No matter how rich his imagination was, Zero never thought that the scale of the Remot was not any less than that of some companies or bases, nor did he think that they had a virus detection program.

This way, the matter of Lea being infected would be exposed.

"Take off your hat."

An investigator said to Lea, who instinctively hid behind Zero. The employee shook her head helplessly, and did not force Lea, but she still used the detector to scan Lea's body.

Seeing the screen of the detector jump up and down with all kinds of data, Zero was ready for the worst. If Lea was found out, he naturally had to leave with the girl. And if Remot wanted to force Lea into a isolation or even kill him because of this, then Zero had already prepared to rush out. However, this way, it would implicate Teddy and the others.

But at this time, Zero couldn't care less.

However, the detector had scanned Lea from head to toe, yet did not sound the alarm, which made the two of them feel lucky but confused. There could only be two reasons why the detector did not alert the police. One of them was that the detector had malfunctioned, and the other was that Lea had not been infected by the virus at all.

Based on the size of the Remot, the first possibility was next to nothing. There was only a second possibility left.

Lea had never been infected by a virus!

[Next week, the classification will be pushed forward. On Monday, the fourth day of the little explosion will be used to thank all my friends for their support!] It was a pity that Xiao Chen was a rookie, and only found out about the contract notification one week late, then even Shen Ma was one week late. The most tragic thing is that the book is about to be published. I hope that everyone can continue supporting it!]
