Latest URL: Cooperation?
猎虎发出了疑问。
The hunting tiger raised a question.
高傲的哈迪斯，不对，高傲的晴港避难所会和西郊联盟合作？
Proud Hades, no, the proud Clear Harbor Sanctuary will cooperate with the Western Suburbs Alliance?
他可不认为联盟现在交易的那些普通物资，能够让哈迪斯放低身段来谈合作。
He doesn’t think that the ordinary materials that the alliance is trading now can make Hades lower his figure and talk about cooperation.
并且，就算是真拿到了那三成物资，也不见得能给这尊庞然大物带来多少帮助。
Besides, even if you really got the 30% supplies, it might not be able to bring much help to this behemoth.
现在城市真正迫切需要的是武力。
What the city really desperately needs right now is force.
是一种能替代枪支大炮的新式武器，来对付随时可能发动二次进攻的矮人。
It is a new type of weapon that can replace guns and cannons to deal with dwarves who may launch a second attack at any time.
如果要合作，那也只能是苏摩将刚才爆炸的东西交出去给晴港避难所。
If they want to cooperate, it can only be Sumo handing over the thing that just exploded to the Clear Harbor Refuge.
但.可能吗？
But. Is it possible?
“猎虎先生，恕我直言，难道你的避难所里没人告诉你
“Mr. Tiger Hunter, with all due respect, no one in your shelter told you
其实你做指挥官的天赋，要远远好过当一名管理者吗？”
In fact, your talent as a commander is far better than that of a manager? “
凯文砸吧砸吧嘴，有些真诚的建议道。
Kevin said with a sincere suggestion.
不过让他意外的是猎虎反而绕尤其是的点点头，老实回道：
However, what surprised him was that Lie Hu turned around and You Qi nodded, and replied honestly:
“咦，你怎么知道，是有好多人这么说。”
“Hey, how do you know, many people said that.”
“不过那都是十年前了，当时这么说我的人现在坟头草都几米高了！”
“But that was ten years ago, and the people who said that about me are now several meters high on their graves!”
嘶。
Hiss.
这家伙，果真是个莽子。
This guy is really a reckless man.
凯文愣了下，但看到猎虎脸上揶揄的笑意，他这才意识到这大光头并没有那么愚蠢。
Kevin froze for a moment, but seeing the teasing smile on Liehu’s face, he realized that the big bald head was not that stupid.
适不适合当管理者谁说都没有用，过往十年的发展已经证明了一切。
It is useless to say whether it is suitable for a manager or not. The development of the past ten years has proved everything.
就和哈迪斯说的那样，平滩避难所确实没有在他的带领下衰落消失，反而神奇一般的从重围中杀了出来，混到了今天这个地步。
Just like what Hades said, the Flat Beach Refuge did not decline and disappear under his leadership. Instead, it miraculously escaped from the siege and got mixed up to where it is today.
当然，这其中肯定有平滩地里位置的原因，也有过去这些年城市混乱利益分割的原因。
Of course, there must be reasons for the location of the flat beach, as well as the reasons for the division of interests in the city’s chaos over the past few years.
但无论怎么说，成绩摆在这里。
But no matter how you say it, the results are here.
除了猎虎自己亲口说不适合管理者之外，其他任何人都没有资格。
Except Liehu himself said that he is not suitable for managers, no one else is qualified.
除非那个人是
Unless that person is
“我看也是，当管理者呆在避难所里，坐在办公桌前。”
“I see it too, when managers stay in the shelter and sit at their desks.”
“真是太埋没你这身才华了！”
“It’s too much to bury your talent!”
苏摩一脸哭笑不得的摇头，在猎虎诧异的目光中，继续轻声道：
Su Mo shook his head dumbfounded, and continued to whisper under Liehu’s surprised gaze:
“我是说如果，如果让你选呢？”
“I mean if, what if you choose?”
“呆在平滩避难所里带领居民发展，和带着几万人出去征战，你会怎么选？”
“Stay in the flat beach shelter and lead the development of the residents, or take tens of thousands of people out to fight, what would you choose?”
“出去征战？”
“Go out to fight?”
猎虎笑意顿了顿，回过味儿又重复了一遍这句话，随后闷声闷气的哼了声。
Liehu paused with a smile, then repeated the sentence after thinking about it, and then snorted sullenly.
果然和这种聪明人就是没得玩。
Sure enough, there is nothing to play with such a smart person.
正经的管理者谁会考虑带着几万人出去打仗啊，那明明是指挥官的职责。
Who is a serious manager who would consider taking tens of thousands of people out to fight? That is obviously the commander’s duty.
管理者更需要负责的是避难所经济发展，以及人口调配等等民生性的问题。
Managers need to be more responsible for the economic development of the shelter, as well as population allocation and other livelihood issues.
只要他会考虑这个提议，那就已经能说明一些事情了。
As long as he will consider this proposal, it will already explain a few things.
下套是吧？
Is it a trick?
“走吧，到底怎么合作我也不清楚，毕竟这家伙可都是一百多年前的老古董了。”
“Let’s go, I don’t know how to cooperate, after all, this guy is an antique from more than a hundred years ago.”
“不过我想他肯定不会保持沉默，而且最重要的是”
“But I think he will definitely not keep silent, and most importantly”
伸出一根手指，苏摩轻轻摇了摇。
Stretching out a finger, Su Mo shook it lightly.
从卡特琳娜那里得到的情报如果不出错，哈迪斯最多只有一个月的活动时间。
If the information obtained from Katerina is correct, Hades will only be active for a month at most.
除非他愿意接受风险上升，延长自己的活动时间继续担任管理者。
Unless he is willing to accept the increased risk, extend his activities to continue as a manager.
否则这一个月内，就必须做出像样的抉择。
Otherwise, within this month, a decent decision must be made.
而根据眼下了解到的这些，以及今天和哈迪斯的正面近距离接触。
Based on what I have learned so far, and the close contact with Hades today.
苏摩更倾向于这个聪明的家伙不会选择现在就鱼死网破。
Su Mo prefers that this smart guy will not choose to die now.
西郊联盟的威势虽盛，但依旧和晴港有着不小的差距，而且短时间内无法追赶的上。
Although the power of the Western Suburbs Alliance is strong, there is still a big gap with Qinggang, and it will not be able to catch up in a short time.
这种情况下他留着，也只能做一些边角料的工作来静观其变。
In this case, he kept it, and could only do some leftover work to wait and see what happened.
还不如继续沉睡，等到更好的机会到来时再苏醒过来。
It’s better to continue to sleep and wake up when a better opportunity comes.
不过让苏摩无法猜到的是。
But what Su Mo couldn’t guess was.
哈迪斯确实打算继续沉睡下去。
Hades does intend to continue to sleep.
但真正原因却不是他想到的这些，而是另外一个不能说出口的“原因”。
But the real reason is not what he thought of, but another “reason” that cannot be said.
此刻，空荡荡的环形会议室内。
At this moment, the circular meeting room is empty.
一脸忐忑的唐恩敲门进入，看到哈迪斯仍然坐在坐位上发呆。
Twain knocked on the door and entered with an apprehensive face, and saw Hades still sitting in his seat in a daze.
就盯着苏摩之前坐的那里，西郊的方向。
He stared at where Sumo was sitting before, in the direction of the western suburbs.
哈迪斯嘴里仍旧在喃喃自语。
Hades was still muttering to himself.
能看的出来对于“废土的规矩”，他是真的挺在意的。
It can be seen that he really cares about the “rules of the wasteland”.
而这，也是聪明人常常会被自己困死在一个角落里的最大原因。
And this is also the biggest reason why smart people are often trapped in a corner by themselves.
想太多！
Think too much!
“哈迪斯大人，我们已经派工程师对消失墙体处进行了初步检查，预计完全修复的成功率很高，有至少八成的概率可以修复到和之前一模一样，另外有两成则是修复完成后墙体的应力结构会出现一定损伤，但并不影响日常使用。”
“Master Hades, we have sent engineers to conduct a preliminary inspection of the disappearing wall. It is estimated that the success rate of complete restoration is very high. There is at least an 80% probability that it can be restored to the same level as before, and the other 20% is After the repair is completed, the stress structure of the wall will be damaged to some extent, but it will not affect daily use.”
“对爆炸点我们进行了检测，回看了这段时间的录像，并没有找到对方到底是如何安放炸弹或者说投放炸弹，而且也没检测到辐射表现。”
“We inspected the explosion site and looked back at the video during this period, but we didn’t find out how the other party planted or dropped the bomb, and we didn’t detect any radiation performance.”
“在现场，我们唯一找到的爆炸残留物只有这个”
“At the scene, the only blast remnant we found was this”
从档案袋里抽出一个婴儿拳头打的碎片，唐恩轻轻的将碎片放在了哈迪斯面前。
Take out a fragment of a baby’s fist from the file bag, and Tang En gently places the fragment in front of Hades.
一件像是被人工打磨削平的石片。
A piece of stone that looks like it has been manually polished and flattened.
上面残留着密密麻麻的花纹，看起来不仅神秘还有着浓浓的特殊美感。
There are dense patterns remaining on it, which not only looks mysterious but also has a strong special beauty.
“是这东西炸了我们的墙？”
“Is this thing blowing up our walls?”
哈迪斯终于回过了神，将碎片拿起来深深看了眼，脸上写满了凝重。
Hades finally came back to his senses, picked up the fragment and took a deep look, his face was full of dignity.
“我不知道.”
“I don’t know.”
唐恩的脸上浮起一抹懊恼。
A look of annoyance floated on Tang En’s face.
“我们的工程师并没有检测出这快碎片的异常，就和这片废土一些我们找到的特殊物质一样，它们是如此的神秘，我们暂时还没找到通往神秘彼岸的路。”
“Our engineers didn’t detect any anomalies in this fast fragment, just like some special substances we found in this wasteland, they are so mysterious, and we haven’t found the way to the mysterious shore yet.”
“抱歉，我真的不知道。”唐恩愣愣的看了眼西郊方向位置，叹了口气：“我也没想到这小小的西郊联盟手里还有这样的大杀器，或许和那天元避难所有关，他们是这片废土世界的原住民，知道太多我们没有了解的信息了！”
“I’m sorry, I really don’t know.” Tang En stared blankly at the location in the direction of the western suburbs, and sighed: “I didn’t expect such a big killer in the hands of this small western suburbs alliance.” They may be related to Tianyuan Refuge, they are the aborigines of this wasteland world, and they know too much information that we don’t!”
“废土世界的原住民.”
“The natives of the wasteland world.”
哈迪斯并没有生气，反而再次重复了一遍这句话。
Hades was not angry, but repeated the sentence again.
忽的，他涣散黯淡的眼神一亮，像是反应过来什么似的。
Suddenly, his slack and gloomy eyes lit up, as if he had realized something.
“你的意思是这.苏摩，他知道很多我们不知道的信息？”
“You mean this. Sumo, he knows a lot of information that we don’t?”
“肯定的，哈迪斯大人，我可以百分百确认只要我们能把他抓了，绝对可以审问到大量信息，包括这次突兀出现的金属老化现象。我派人搜集过平滩和巨城的变动，他们早在金属老化出现之前就在准备其他武器，绝对是知道这个信息！”
“Sure, Mr. Hades, I can be 100% sure that as long as we can catch him, we can definitely interrogate a lot of information, including the sudden appearance of metal aging. I sent people to collect Pingtan And the changes in the giant city, they were preparing other weapons long before the appearance of metal aging, they definitely knew this information!”
看着哈迪斯越来越亮的眼神，唐恩砸吧砸吧嘴，接着说道。
Looking at Hades’ brighter and brighter eyes, Tang En smacked his mouth, and continued.
“您还记得之前那段录像吗，就是我们直升飞机被两个辐射兽.不，被两个怪物抢走的那个录像，我现在非常怀疑西郊已经暗地里和这些怪物达成了合作，他们在暗地里正进行着一些我们不知道的秘密勾当！”
“Do you still remember the previous video, that is, the video where our helicopter was taken away by two radiation beasts. , They are secretly carrying out some secret activities that we don’t know about!”
“如果我们不采取行动的话，他们只会越来越嚣张，拉拢城市里的其他避难所一起联合抵抗我们晴港避难所！”
“If we don’t take action, they will only become more and more arrogant and draw other shelters in the city to jointly resist our Clear Harbor Sanctuary!”
哈迪斯点了点头。
Hades nodded.
他清楚唐恩现在所说的话并非是危言耸听。
He knew that what Tang En said now was not alarmist.
事实上他在第一时间看到那段录像的时候，也是一脸见了鬼的表情。
In fact, when he saw the video for the first time, he also had the expression of seeing a ghost.
物理和武器学不是他的专业，但生物学和能源是他的强项。
Physics and weaponry are not his majors, but biology and energy are his strong points.
如果不是当年被学院赶了出去，以他的天资和努力至少也是二级教授起步。
If he hadn’t been kicked out by the college that year, he would have at least started as a second-level professor with his talent and hard work.
运气好点甚至有机会够到一级教授，副院长之流，从此踏入蓝星顶级阶层。
If you are lucky, you may even have the opportunity to be a first-level professor, vice president and the like, and step into the top class of Blue Star.
但也正是这样，先是在录像中看到了几分钟就学会开飞机的非人生物。
But that’s exactly what happened. First, I saw an inhuman creature who learned to fly a plane in just a few minutes in the video.
又亲眼目睹了带着特殊武器前来攻城的矮人。
I also witnessed the dwarves who came to attack the city with special weapons.
他才意识到这片世界确实已经变了，学院之前太多只存在于纸面的生物研究，在这里竟然已经能找到活生生的例子。
It was only then that he realized that the world had indeed changed. There were too many biological studies that only existed on paper in the academy before, but living examples could be found here.
合理的怀疑一下，这片世界是不是也有解决休眠仓不能长时间清醒这个大问题的方法。
It is reasonable to wonder whether this world also has a solution to the big problem of not being able to stay awake for a long time in the dormant cabin.
或者说干脆有给人类增寿的方式？
Or is there simply a way to increase the lifespan of human beings?
意识到这点后，哈迪斯这才没有怪罪冒失的埃德蒙以及放纵他的唐恩，甚至乎他还表扬了两个人，肯定了他们这段时间的努力和付出。
After realizing this, Hades didn’t blame the reckless Edmund and Tang En who indulged him. He even praised the two of them, affirming their hard work and dedication during this period.
毕竟掠夺人口，掠夺资源，组建一支能够对外探索的队伍，跑在其他蓝星势力之前。
After all, plunder the population, plunder resources, form a team that can explore the outside world, and run ahead of other blue star forces.
埃德蒙的想法和他现在简直不谋而合。
Edmund’s thoughts coincided with his now.
如果不是苏摩的出现，这场会议开完之后，城市里的大部分资源都要被他以永恒水神这个威胁收来，从来额外多出一大笔用于探索队的开销。
If it wasn’t for Sumo’s appearance, after the meeting, most of the city’s resources would have been taken away by him with the threat of the Eternal Water God, which would have left a large amount of extra expenses for the exploration team.
只可惜.
Unfortunately.
不。
No.
哈迪斯彻底否定了之前的想法。
Hades completely denied the previous idea.
这一瞬间，他感觉自己之前的想法简直就是在犯罪，是不是真睡傻了！
At this moment, he felt that his previous thoughts were simply committing a crime, did he really fall asleep?
为什么要舍近求远的组建探索队去更远的地方，冒着风险探索可能找到不到的信息？
Why do you want to set up an exploration team to go farther and take risks to explore information that may not be found?
这他娘的，隔壁的邻居不就是吗？
Damn it, isn’t that the neighbor next door?
要不是被避难所里的这些老家伙先入为主的扎下了概念，导致他先天性的就认为西郊联盟现在是晴港避难所的敌人，这天元避难所也同样是敌人的爪牙。
If it hadn’t been for the preconceived notions of these old guys in the refuge, he would innately think that the Western Suburbs Alliance is now the enemy of the Clear Harbor Refuge, and the Tianyuan Refuge is also the enemy’s minions.
否则直接找这苏摩不就完事了，哪里还需要这么麻烦？？？
Otherwise, it would be over if you just go to Sumo directly, so why bother? ? ?
“我们为什么不和天元领地合作，为什么不和这苏摩合作？”
“Why don’t we cooperate with Tianyuan Territory, why not cooperate with this Sumo?”
合作？
Cooperation?
唐恩咽了口唾沫，眼神无比怪异。
Twain swallowed, his eyes were extremely strange.
这不是还在喷对方吗，怎么忽然又提到合作上了？
Isn’t this still criticizing the other party? Why did they suddenly mention cooperation again?
不过话说回来，为什么晴港避难所会和天元避难所站在对立面上。
But having said that, why did the Sunshine Harbor Refuge stand on opposite sides to the Tianyuan Refuge?
唐恩并没有将这个疑惑说出口，而是留在了心里。
Twain did not express this doubt, but kept it in his heart.
说实话他也挺懵逼的，待在地下莫名其妙的就多了许多敌人。
To tell you the truth, he is quite confused. He has many enemies for no reason while staying underground.
南郊的避难所也就算了，这西郊的完全没必要招惹啊，都是埃德蒙这蠢货非要出去惹是生非，执行他那破篮子计划。
Forget about the refuge in the southern suburbs. There is no need to provoke the ones in the western suburbs. It is Edmund, an idiot who insists on going out to cause trouble and carry out his broken basket plan.
“哈迪斯大人，这都是埃德蒙，是他在外面掀起混乱造成的结果。其实最开始我们还派人去过天元避难所，这苏摩也来参加过我们的第一次会议，态度还算和善吧？”
“Master Hades, this is all Edmund. It is the result of the chaos he caused outside. In fact, we sent people to Tianyuan Refuge at the beginning, and Sumo also came to participate in our first Meeting, is the attitude still kind?”
和今天的咄咄逼人相比，那时候的沉默肯定是和善的不得了。
Compared with the aggressiveness of today, the silence at that time must have been extremely kind.
“既然和善，为什么我们不和他合作，要逼着他去和西郊的人合作？”
“Since we are kind, why don’t we cooperate with him and force him to cooperate with people in the western suburbs?”
“额”唐恩有些局促，一时之间不知道怎么开口。
“Uh…” Tang En was a little embarrassed, and didn’t know how to speak for a while.
好家伙，人家明明已经成为了西郊联盟的盟主好吧。
Good guy, he has clearly become the leader of the Western Suburbs Alliance.
根本不是他要去找那几个避难所合作，明明是这几个避难所找上门才对。
It’s not that he wants to find those shelters to cooperate with, it’s obviously these shelters who came to him.
“去吧，今天对方既然没有撕破脸皮的在新城内甚至地下引爆，而是只通过炸毁一段闪电墙的方式来警告我们，那就说明这苏摩并不想掀起战争，我们之间还是有缓冲机会的！”
“Go, since the other party didn’t blatantly detonate in the new city or even underground today, but only blew up a section of lightning wall to warn us, it means that Sumo doesn’t want to start a war. There is still a buffer opportunity!”
“他说的对，这里不是蓝星，而是废土，废土就应该有废土的规矩！”
“He’s right, this is not Blue Star, but Wasteland, and Wasteland should have the rules of Wasteland!”
“与其斗到你死我活，便宜了别人，还不如合作起来共赢。”
“Instead of fighting to the death and benefiting others, it is better to cooperate and win-win.”
哈迪斯可不管继续谈判合作的憋屈以及难度，反正又不是他去。
Hades doesn’t care about the aggrievedness and difficulty of continuing to negotiate and cooperate, anyway, it’s not him.
他站起身，将桌上的石片拿起，又拉着唐恩的手。
He stood up, picked up the stones on the table, and took Tang En’s hand again.
“唐恩，我知道你想当管理者，毕竟你父亲就是避难所里优秀的管理人员之一，你继承了他的基因，也继承了东方人的谦逊和明智，晴港避难所交给你确实是一件让我放心的事。
“Twain, I know you want to be a manager. After all, your father is one of the best managers in the shelter. You have inherited his genes, as well as the humility and wisdom of the oriental people. Clear Harbor Sanctuary Giving it to you is indeed a reassuring thing for me.
但.你呢，还是太年轻了。作为避难所的副管理者，就像最近一段时间被避难所里的那些老家伙死死钳制却没有办法破局，你觉得以后每次再发生这种事情，都需要叫我醒过来处理吗？”
But…you are still too young. As the deputy manager of the shelter, it’s like being tightly restrained by those old guys in the shelter recently but unable to break the situation. Do you think that every time this kind of thing happens again in the future, I need to wake up and deal with it? “
说出年轻两个字时，哈迪斯的脑子里再度浮现出那张脸庞。
When the word “young” was said, that face appeared in Hades’ mind again.
唐恩年轻吗，确实年轻。
Is Tang En young? He is indeed young.
他现在也只有四十岁而已，对于一名管理者而言，搭配上蓝星的生物技术至少还有五十年好活，既人生的一半路程都没走完。
He is only forty years old now. For a manager, with Blue Star’s biotechnology, he still has at least fifty years to live, and he has not completed half of his life.
但那位天元管理者呢，他最多也就三十岁吧，甚至还要更加年轻一些。
But the manager of Tianyuan, he is at most thirty years old, maybe even younger.
这世界的未来终究还是年轻人的，指望避难所的那群老家伙在和平时期维稳还行，一遇到这种动荡时局，就需要更加大胆的人上任管理。
After all, the future of this world still belongs to young people. The old guys who count on the refuge can maintain stability in peacetime. When encountering such a turbulent situation, they need more bold people to take over the management.
“我”
“I”
“这次和天元避难所之间的谈判，就是见证你能力的时候。如果我下次醒来之前你能够成功，那这避难所的管理者职位我也就能放心移交给你了。你知道的，我从来不说假话！”
“This negotiation with Tianyuan Refuge is the time to witness your ability. If you can succeed before I wake up next time, then I will be able to transfer the position of manager of the Refuge to you with confidence. .You know, I never tell lies!”
哈迪斯露出不由分说的表情，表示自己的主意已定。
Hades showed an involuntary expression, indicating that he had made up his mind.
实际上按照正常发展进程，他这次如果能正常醒来，唐恩便会被任命为管理者。
In fact, according to the normal development process, if he can wake up normally this time, Tang En will be appointed as the manager.
但现在被提前唤醒，处理避难所的这些烂摊子只是其中一件很小的事情。
But being awakened early now, dealing with this mess in the Vault is just one of the little things.
更多的精力，他还是打算放在研究这片新世界上。
He still intends to put more energy into researching this new world.
尤其是那些俘虏矮人~IndoMTL.com~那种关键问题就被强行遮蔽脑波的方式简直太突兀了。
Especially those captive dwarves~IndoMTL.com~The way of forcibly covering the brainwaves of key questions is simply too abrupt.
如果能够破解，说不定就能得到他们手中那些新式武器的制作方式。
If it can be cracked, maybe you can get the production methods of those new weapons in their hands.
眼下避难所遇到的武器荒，也就能顺利解决！
The current shortage of weapons in the refuge can be solved smoothly!
“好好吧。”
“Alright.”
唐恩点点头，心乱如麻，只能暂时应承下来这件事。
Twain nodded, his heart was in a mess, so he could only agree to this matter temporarily.
现在，就只能寄希望两边还没有彻底撕破脸皮，看看能不能进行缓和了。
Now, we can only hope that the two sides have not completely torn their faces, and see if they can relax.
要是能成功，那接下来的合作自然能缓缓推进，直到修复这段时间的不愉快。
If it can be successful, then the next cooperation will naturally be pushed forward slowly until the unhappiness during this period is repaired.
但要是对方严词拒绝.
But if the other party sternly refuses.
想起那张和自己同源的东方面孔，唐恩握紧手中石片，心中只能暗暗祈祷起来。
Recalling the oriental face with the same origin as himself, Tang En clenched the stone in his hand, and could only pray secretly in his heart.
