Chapter 3: Talulah: Whose Generator is this?

We've arrived at the work site, so why are these guys still in the hunter's hut?

Wang Zhan saw that all the people were there but no one came out of the hunter's hut, and he was wondering, could this NPC refuse the order to work overtime?

Rolling the pulley, Wang Zhan's perspective came to the hunter's hut. From the window, he saw everyone laughing and changing their hunter equipment, and he felt relieved.

It's more realistic, and there's even time to change clothes.

After a while, the door of the hunter's hut opened, and fifteen infected people wearing simple equipment walked out. They carried lanterns and walked towards the snowfield. The next day, they would bring back fifteen portions of raw ingredients, which could be made into thirty portions of food rations in the kitchen.

Now there is no one around the generator, so what should we do next?

Of course, it's to eat!

In order not to miss the team brought back by Alina, Wang Zhan ordered a takeout. Since Mu Ye had settled his debts for him and given him some money to support his life, he could eat something more exquisite.

"Then let's have a beef bowl and a soup."

After ordering the takeaway, Wang Zhan continued to study the recruitment system. Although various groups or individuals can be recruited, the recruitment conditions required for personnel in each organization are different.

For example, wandering infected people can be recruited by simply providing warm shelter and food, but the requirement for the inner guards is to implement the emperor's will and expel all heretics from the land. Wang Zhan can see at a glance that this recruit will only bring disaster to himself.

In addition to these people, some people cannot be recruited, such as Dr. Kal'tsit, whose recruitment conditions are not visible, and recruitment requests cannot be sent.

There is also the Chun-qian Organization, which is a relief organization within the Great Yan and is also unable to recruit.

Wang Zhan took a look around. Now that he had the workers, once the basic construction was completed, he would need engineers to open up the technology tree and upgrade the generator and so on.

"Babbage..."

An academician of the Royal Academy of Ursus, chief engineer of a small nomadic city, he has extensive experience in scientific research.

The recruitment conditions are to provide a completely independent research environment and require others to call him a genius... Huh? Such a strange recruitment condition.

Well, it is understandable that such people are a little vain, but why do they have no requirements for living conditions?

With a try-it attitude, Wang Zhan clicked on the recruitment button.

[Recruitment request has been sent, please wait for a reply. ]

Please wait for a reply...It seems that I cannot recruit the other party directly because the conditions can't be met.

What would happen if this scientist reported his recruitment information to the army group?

Wang Zhan thought he was overthinking it, because Babbage probably would not give up his academician status and condescend to come to his generator, and he might not even look at the recruitment letter.

An hour later, Wang Zhan was sitting in front of the computer with a bowl of rice. Alina appeared from the north side of the canyon, followed by a woman with dragon horns. Wang Zhan enlarged the screen and clicked on the woman, and her information popped up.

[Talulah (Infected) Occupation: Fighter]

Fighter?

Can I drive in the screws?

"It's just ahead, Tallulah. Mr. Generator said it's the core of the city." Talulah didn't understand what was so charming about the generator that Alina mentioned, which made this shrewd little deer care so much about it.

She could only follow her in big strides and listen to Alina's excited introduction of the tall tower in the distance... When did that thing appear there?

"Alina! Stop!"

The tower was much taller than Alina described. A rough estimate was that its height was about 80 meters and its diameter was about 25 meters. How could such a huge building appear out of thin air?!

If it wasn't planned by the army group, how could anyone build such a huge building on the snowfield?

Alina pulled Talulah's sleeve and smiled slightly, as if her vigilance was expected by the other party. "The generator I'm talking about is that tower. He can hear and understand what we say."

A talking generator, that's pretty cool, isn't it?

Wang Zhan was boasting in his heart, but Talulah was a little dumbfounded, with an expression as if she didn't know what to do. She glanced at the generator and opened her mouth to say something, but could only look at it again.

If it were a person, it would be easy, but a building...how should she deal with steel plates?

"Don't hesitate, I'll take you to see him."

Talulah looked up at the energy tower in the canyon in silence. Its rugged appearance proved that this generator was not a product of Ursus, but its complex structure reminded her of some prototype of Victoria. She remembered it seemed to be called a steam engine.

But there are some differences between the two.

"Mr. Generator?"

Talulah saw Alina yelling, and her golden eyes wanted to see any signs of life activity from the generator, but Alina's expression suddenly became solemn.

"You mean I'm the only one who can hear you?"

Talulah felt her body shake again. She shouldn't have doubted her confidant, but the current situation was too absurd for her to reconsider.

"Okay, I understand." Alina's originally solemn expression suddenly relaxed a little. She faced Talulah, "Talulah, Mr. Generator said you can touch his body?"

"Alina... have you been under too much stress lately?"

Talulah was a little worried about Alina's mental state, as she regarded such a tower as her savior.

"Yes, a little bit, but the enemy I faced was much weaker than the one Talulah faced." Alina saw Talulah's worry, "Don't worry, this is not my imagination."

Talulah walked towards the generator as Alina said. Alina was trustworthy, but she had no idea where this thing came from. She touched it while being alert to sudden changes.

Cold, like the walls of Longmen that I touched as a child, and hard, more impressive than the ships of Ursus.

But the voice from Alina's mouth did not appear.

"You still can't hear me?"

"Yeah, I still can't hear it."

"It seems that you can't hear me just by touching the generator" Wang Zhan sighed. Now the situation has become complicated. He has to do something to prove his existence to Talulah.

But he lacked wood and could not prove it through construction.

Wang Zhan temporarily turned off the microphone so that Alina would not be able to hear him. "If everything around the generator is under my control, then my secretaries should be able to control the resources according to my orders..."

But even if food is provided to the other party, it will probably be considered as the reserve food of the Ursus garrison.

Flames poured into the canyon; the guerrillas had arrived.

Wang Zhan turned on the microphone, "Alina, tell Talulah that when all the guerrillas arrive, I will ignite the generator to help you get through the night."

"Ignite the generator?"

Alina looked up at the tall building. The sky was clear, the moonlight was cold, and everything in the canyon was buried in darkness.

"Don't worry, I will convey your message."

"That voice spoke to you again?"

Talulah sighed. If Alina had mental problems, which witch could heal her?

"Yes, he will light the generator and help the guerrillas survive the night."

Ignite the generator?

Talulah, who was trapped in darkness, looked up at the top of the tower under the starry sky. What would it look like if such a huge building were set on fire?

"Talulah, what are you doing here with your team?

Wang Zhan found the talking white rabbit in the dark canyon. She left the team and walked directly to Talulah. At the entrance of the canyon, the antler monster was leading the team to the generator in the center of the canyon.

It's Buldrokkas'tee.
