It took about ten minutes for Lu Bei to report the day's work to Chu Guang.
"...Led by a gatekeeper named Tris, we entered Camp 101 and were received by the local survivors."
"It's a camp hidden deep within the subway tunnels, home to around two or three hundred people. The local survivors live in square barracks, while greenhouses, generators, water purifiers, and biogas tanks are scattered around the camp."
"The situation there is completely different from Hope Town. They've achieved total self-sufficiency in supplies and use scientific methods to keep everything in perfect order."
"That Tris showed me their greenhouse plantations. There were lots of hydroponic boxes growing rice, potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers... and some kind of carbon-fixation equipment. They synthesize part of the carbon dioxide into starch and glucose to balance the carbon dioxide levels in the air."
"Anyway, the place was quite astonishing. The locals call themselves the 'Sheltered,' but they aren't vault residents. They're wastelanders who received help from vault residents."
"The entrance to Vault 101 is at the deepest part of the camp. The vault residents taught them knowledge, and their task is to report the situation outside to the vault residents."
"According to them, their camp was originally on the surface. Later, to escape the war, the vault residents lent them the supply transfer area outside the entrance, and that was how the current camp came to be."
"While talking with them, I could feel that they had deep feelings for the vault residents. Vault 101 was like a holy land to them, and the residents living there were more like teachers."

"...I see."
He more or less understood.
