"Please take a seat," it said.
Chen Xu and the other person sat down as instructed.
S01 stood in front of them, and under the dim light, it looked particularly cold and hard.
It said, "The original purpose of the shelter was to accommodate the surviving humans. On behalf of the entire A020 shelter, I welcome you."
"Let me tell you about the current situation of the shelter. A few months ago, the rescue team arrived and most people moved with them. They took away most of the supplies and only left an energy core to maintain the daily operation of the shelter."
"Due to limited resources, the shelter can only provide basic nutritious meals and drinking water for the time being. Even if you brought an energy core, it would be impossible to build a planting warehouse in a short period of time..."
Chen Xu waited for it to finish speaking before he spoke, "Actually, she is the only one who wants to stay in your base. I will leave in a moment."
"Chen Xu, you--" Yang Jinxia's face changed, she grabbed his arm, her tone anxious.
Chen Xu didn't look at her and said, "I said that after we get here, we will go our separate ways."
"I was wrong. I apologize to you." Yang Jinxia bit her lip and looked at him with pleading eyes. "I promise that this will never happen again..."
"Stop talking."
Chen Xu interrupted her irritably, let out a long breath, turned to look at her, and said, "Actually, in your heart, you don't take me seriously, do you?"
"I..." Yang Jinxia looked into his eyes and suddenly couldn't continue.
It was at this moment that she realized her mistake. She had not really seen this man clearly. He was not as rational as he usually appeared.
"I will keep half of the supplies in the car. I will drive the car away, and I will also take 2003 with me." Chen Xu talked about the plan of splitting up the family. "The energy core can be left behind, but I want to exchange it for something. S01, what do you think?"
S01 said, "This is a reasonable suggestion. I wonder what you would like to change?"
"A transporter battery."
"Can."
"A powerful weapon that you can carry with you."
"Can."
“A personal information processing terminal that can store information.”
"That's fine."
"In this terminal, you must also copy all the technical data of your shelter."
S01 said, "I'm afraid that's impossible. Sir, your authority is too low. There is a lot of technical information that I cannot give you."
Chen Xu didn't expect there would be such a restriction, and said helplessly, "Then store all the information you can give."
"Okay, do you have any other requests?"
"That's all."
Chen Xu knew when to stop and was not too greedy. Given the shabby appearance of the shelter, if he made any more demands, S01 might get angry.
After the deal was reached, Chen Xu used the equipment in the shelter to have a voice conversation with 2003 at the door, asking it to drive the transport vehicle in.
During this time, Yang Jinxia sat quietly without raising any objections and tacitly agreed with his handling of the matter.
While 2003 was still not here, Chen Xu asked S01 again, "When was the last time a strange beast attacked?"
"According to your experience, how often do alien beasts attack?"
"In the first few decades, the alien beasts attacked once a year. Starting fifty years ago, it became once every two years. As time went on, the frequency of attacks became less and less, becoming once every three years, and finally once every five years. And the number of alien beasts also became fewer and fewer."
Chen Xu sighed, "It's really not easy for you to persist for so long."
"For more than a hundred years, in order to resist the attacks of alien beasts, more than 100,000 people have sacrificed their lives in the shelter over the years." S01's voice also became low.
Chen Xu then asked, "Do you think they will come again?"
"In recent years, the environment in this area has deteriorated more and more seriously, and the number of exotic beasts has also decreased sharply. Outside the wall, no exotic beasts have been seen for nearly a year. According to the rescue team, the number of exotic beasts in this area is less than 10,000. They will not pose much of a threat to the shelter."
After hearing what it said, Chen Xu felt more confident. This city was so big, and with the surrounding areas, 10,000 exotic beasts were scattered around, which was considered rare. With the supplies in the car, it shouldn't be a problem to survive the next four months.
He asked again, "Do you have a distribution map of the strange beasts?"
"The rescue team once left a copy, and I will keep it in that terminal."
"Thank you very much."
…………
2003 finally drove the car over and parked it outside the lobby. The next step was to move the things out of the car.
The energy core is a circular device with a diameter of more than two meters, with many interfaces and slots on it.
It was the first time that Chen Xu saw this thing, and it was very different from what he had imagined.
S01 stepped forward and used two mechanical arms to remove the energy core from the car. It showed its super strength. Chen Xu was a little skeptical at first, but now he was more certain that the structure of S01 itself was an exoskeleton armor.
It is undoubtedly a war machine. Even if he wears a full set of exoskeleton mechanical arms, he may not be able to defeat it.
It flew away quickly, holding the energy core that was larger than itself.
Nearly half an hour later, it came back with a few things, which were exactly the ones Chen Xu had just mentioned.
After Chen Xu took it, he handed the battery to 2003, took the other two items and studied them aside.
The weapon looked like a rifle, but was a bit bigger and made of metal, but not too heavy. It was about the same as the one he bought with his points.
This is an electromagnetic rifle. As for its power, we can test it after leaving the shelter.
The other is a personal information processing terminal, which is a pair of glasses-like items. After putting it on, follow the instructions of S01 and turn it on. An operation interface will immediately appear in front of you. It can be controlled by voice or gestures, which is very convenient.
He immediately opened the storage space and looked through it. He was quite satisfied. It seemed that S01 had not fooled him. The information inside was much more than the mainframe of the G5232 shelter.
After a while, they had divided the supplies.
Chen Xu took 2003 into the car. Before leaving, he looked back at Yang Jinxia and said, "Take care."
Yang Jinxia seemed to have something to say, but she held back and watched the car slowly disappear into the passage. There was an indescribable feeling in her expression.
"Ma'am, I'll take you to your room," S01 said.
She didn't move.
