Chapter 176 "Aurora"

If there is nuclear power, why should I worry about fuel?

If there is nuclear power, it will be happy to use it for decades without refueling, what a happy thing!

If there is nuclear power, I would be happy even floating on the sea, far away from nuclear, biological and chemical weapons on land, what a wonderful thing!

Hearing Little Rooney said that there was a nuclear-powered ship waiting for him, Zhou Qingfeng stood up and asked impatiently, "What's that guy's name? Where is it? I want to see him right away."

"He said his name was Allen, but he always hid himself from showing up in public. But he said he had a nuclear-powered ship called 'Aurora'."

'Aurora'? Zhou Qingfeng turned on his armband computer and searched for relevant information in the database. The results he found were extremely exciting.

This ship is a polar research ship of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the United States. It was launched six years ago, with a displacement of 30,000 tons. It is powered by two 100-megawatt maintenance-free nuclear power reactors. The life span reaches thirty years.

The ship is so advanced that it can be driven by a crew of only forty. And because it is going to conduct polar scientific research, there are complete living and working facilities on board.

A scientific expedition team of up to 300 people can live on board for three months. The most important thing is that the power is abundant, the space is huge, and it is extremely comfortable to live on. This is simply a treasure specially tailored for the end-of-day life!

However, little Rooney couldn't tell Alan's specific identity, "He said that if Mr. Hugo is interested, we will meet at the Blues Bar at eight o'clock tonight, and use a copy of Doomsday as a sign. You are only allowed. If you He won’t show up if you take someone with you.”

Regarding this condition, the butcher was very suspicious, "Could this be a trap, you must know that the Skull and Bones is offering a reward for you."

That's right, Zhou Qingfeng was offered a high price reward for his head by the Skull and Bones Society. Because the Brotherhood of Steel deliberately publicized certain details of the Battle of Manhattan in order to boost morale. And in order to prevent Zhou Qingfeng from rebelling, he specifically pointed out that he was the one who caused the Skeleton Society to suffer.

It is precisely because of this that Zhou Qingfeng seldom shows up to the outside world. But if someone knows him and wants to lure him over, a nuclear-powered ship is indeed a good bait.

"The problem is that the 'Aurora' might actually be in New York." Zhou Qingfeng found out the last news about the 'Aurora' before the catastrophe. The ship was docked somewhere in New York, "I think I have to Take this risk, at worst, bring 'dog meat'."

Wang..., 'Dog Meat' wants to follow Zhou Qingfeng with his tail.

"All right,

I will support you from the outside. The butcher nodded and agreed, "And you'd better bring some children, they are very familiar with the environment here and can be of great help." "

The decision has been made, and waiting for the sunset at night, Zhou Qingfeng will take 'dog meat' to the blues bar. It is said to be a bar, but in fact, there is no drink supply at all, and there is no loud music. The bar was lifeless and reeked of sweat. It is full of all kinds of desperate people, relying on chatting to pass the day after day of suffering.

The blues bar is the lowest bar in the last days. The bar owner will occasionally sell some cheap and inferior food, which has become the only hope for many people to barely survive.

Since the power supply has long been cut off, the lighting in the bar after nightfall relies on a few gasoline drums burning firewood. All are asking where to find a job, or where to find a way out.

Zhou Qingfeng walked into the bar wearing a torn blanket, a mask on his face, and messy hair, like a down and out homeless man. He chose a corner seat to sit down, and threw a copy of the Doomsday Report on the table.

"I'm coming in." Zhou Qingfeng said over the radio under the cover of a torn blanket, "Everything is quiet in the bar, except that it stinks."

The butcher also said on the radio: "Everything is quiet outside, and the streets are extremely deserted. Little Rooney's partners have dispersed, and they are responsible for monitoring changes in the surrounding blocks."

More than an hour passed quietly like this, and it was almost nine o'clock. Just when Zhou Qingfeng was getting impatient, a homeless man who had been sitting in the bar suddenly stood up and walked slowly to Zhou Qingfeng, "Mr. Hugo, hello!"

"Alan?" Zhou Qingfeng asked in surprise.

"Yes." The tramp's voice was hoarse.

"You let me sit here for an hour in vain, just staring at me like this?"

"I have to be careful, because I am wanted by the Skeleton Society just like you."

"Why are you wanted?"

"Give me something to eat first, can you? I haven't eaten well for three days, and I feel like I'm going to starve to death anytime."

Zhou Qingfeng carefully observed the dirty face of the homeless man in front of him, and felt that the man was in his fifties, with sunken eye sockets and cheeks, and he should be a person who was really starved. He took out a bullet from his pocket and put it on the table. Allen immediately used the bullet to go to the bar counter to exchange for a small piece of hard black bread and a bowl of cold vegetable soup.

Allen tore up the black bread, soaked it in the vegetable soup, and slowly ate it up. When he finally finished eating, he leaned back on the chair and sighed comfortably, "I never thought that one day I would be so easily satisfied. Fate is so strange."

"Tell me about your ship, our time is precious." Zhou Qingfeng said.

"Hehe..." Alan stretched out his dirty hand and shook Zhou Qingfeng lightly, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Alan Derek, the first mate of the 'Aurora'. Mr. Hugo, I Hope you can save the crew of our ship."

According to Allen, the "Aurora" has been undergoing maintenance at the ship repair yard in New York for the past six months. After the maintenance, they sailed to the Antarctic for scientific investigation. Unexpectedly, it took only one day for the ship to go out before the catastrophe struck. A large number of people belonging to government agencies on the ship disappeared, leaving only dozens of private employees, including the first officer Alan Derek.

And when the first mate returned to New York with the terrified crew, he found that the whole New York was in chaos. They tried to contact the government, but were hijacked by a man named Fernando Resno.

"The 'Aurora' was docked at the docks in Brooklyn, and we didn't know the government was gone, let alone what to do next? Fernando Resno suddenly appeared on our ship and said that the ship now belongs to him. All, and to rename the ship the 'Rachel'."

Wait..., Rachel? Rachel Connor or Rachel Lawrence? Zhou Qingfeng suddenly reached out his hand to stop Alan's narration, and asked, "Have you ever seen a very beautiful woman next to Fernando, about 30 years old, with a very good figure, and her name is Rachel."

"No." Allen shook his head, "Fernando Resno quickly brought a large number of armed men, and quickly occupied our ship, and forced us to drive the ship to the depths of a bay near Kennedy Airport in Queens .

We refused to take his orders, and the demon killed several of us. For this we had to escape. But when we escaped, we found that the world had completely collapsed, we couldn't survive at all, and Fernando Resno was still sending people to arrest us everywhere. "

"Since you are starving to death, why don't you just join Fernando Resno?" Zhou Qingfeng was very puzzled.

Allen said sadly, "Are you willing to rely on someone who killed your son? When Fernando Resno robbed the 'Aurora', my son, as a crew member, wanted to stop him, but he was the first to kill him." .I will never forgive that demon until I die. I want him to go to hell!"

Looking at Old Allen's skinny face, Zhou Qingfeng didn't know whether to lament the other party's misfortune or his own luck. And at this moment, the butcher sent a warning on the radio: "Victor, the situation is not good. People from the Skull and Bones have gone to the bar where you are staying. There are a lot of people." (To be continued.)
