Vault 32

Chapter 116
The sky gradually dimmed, and as the night fell, the sky full of stars had replaced the blue sky and white clouds, and the bright moon had replaced the blazing sun, making the whole world seem to be hidden in this darkness.But this beautiful night scene did not last for a long time, especially as the dark clouds in the distance gradually appeared, it seemed that the dark clouds from the depths of the sea also came with the wind, bringing the rumbling sound of thunder, shaking people eardrum.

In the distant sky, the heavy rain has been pouring down, and the entire sea has brought rough waves, hitting the cliffs and cliffs below the cave heavily, and the violent sound is like the busiest machining workshop. But they have already blocked the entrance of the tunnel with rocks, and filled it with tattered clothes, and the sound of clattering has also penetrated into their ears directly, let alone sleeping or resting well, the rage is unstoppable. The unbelievable sound of the waves, which lasted for so long, started to make their brains a little swollen.

With the moisture-proof water bag blocking the slightly damp rock wall behind him, Liszt sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes to let himself have a good rest.After a fierce battle, any iron man must find a quiet and peaceful place to relieve his inner pressure, but Liszt slowly opened his eyes, listening to the muffled thunder in his ears from time to time, I can only give up this kind of self-regulation plan.

Two vertical electric lights have appeared in the middle and deep corners of the cave, illuminating the area of ​​no more than 300 meters brightly.And in the dry zone at the deepest part of the cave, the industrial power storage box of about half a meter is placed there, and the two electric lights are connected to transmit vital power.As for the corner of the place, it has been temporarily transformed into a toilet and a place where garbage is piled up. It is simply covered with a rag to avoid embarrassment when it is convenient.

But with this little space, thirteen young and strong young men were squeezed into the cave, and they couldn't move around at all.Maybe this group of boys are not curious babies who just left the military academy, they are all members of the Marine Corps who have undergone rigorous training. Even in this cave, they all sat expressionlessly on their moisture-proof mats and sleeping bags , Disassemble all the gun parts in his hand, and carefully carry out post-war adjustment and maintenance.

"Boom--"

The muffled thunder outside exploded suddenly, as if it was the shooting of a large-caliber artillery.But the marines in the cave just raised their heads slightly, glanced at the direction of the tunnel entrance, and after confirming that there was no abnormality, they fiddled with the guns in their hands again, completely ignoring this.So what if it's artillery fire?Above their heads, there were more than three meters of rock and soil layers. Even if a large-caliber artillery hit directly above their heads without using special ground-penetrating bombs, it might not cause them much damage.

Karst caves are natural permanent base fortresses, especially those that go deep into the mountains, and they are the best choice for building permanent bases.This kind of fortification that directly uses the mountain as a bunker and uses soil and rock layers as a firepower buffer layer can defend against even small-yield nuclear bombs, let alone ordinary artillery.The marines who have received excellent military education are quite relieved about this, and even most of them have completely disassembled the weapons in their hands for the most meticulous maintenance.

Whether it is the rough and reliable Winchester shotgun, the exquisite and detailed M4A1 assault rifle, or the M1911 semi-automatic pistol that they all equip, they have been carefully wiped with brushes and towels. The bright light, with lubricating oil gently poured into the inner seam of the gun, took care of these old guys who usually survived on the battlefield extremely carefully.

However, Liszt did not maintain his century-old Winchester. After installing the 115-element jet engine, this shotgun, which is almost beyond modern technology, no longer needs too much calibration and adjustment, and maintenance has become extremely difficult. Simple.He just twisted his neck and looked at the soldiers in the cave who were all busy on their own, but there was a sense of trust between the team in his lonely heart, which made him nod and said: "This is very good." .”

Although these Marine Corps soldiers are recruited from the game system, they are still living humans, with their own thoughts and knowledge levels, and even have memories before coming to this world.Regardless of game recruitment, they are real human beings who can say some sarcasm, encouraging sentences, and even make small jokes among them, causing others to laugh, and the atmosphere is quite pleasant.

In just a few hours, Liszt had already regarded this group of Marine Corps members who were shirtless and sitting on sleeping bags in combat pants as military cadets who had just come out of the boot camp.He has already regarded them as real human beings, as well as his real subordinates and comrades-in-arms.

Especially looking at that corner, two marine soldiers still took out a pack of playing cards in their pockets, which attracted the attention of several other soldiers. He nodded lightly and said, "Leaving the United States may not be a miserable and bad thing." He narrowed his eyes slightly, but he didn't stop their low-pitched laughter. He just took a deep breath and sighed: "Indeed It's a good thing."

Next to him, a member of the Marine Corps who was holding a gun barrel and carefully cleaning the inner wall with a brush turned his head to look at Liszt and shrugged slightly. His inexplicable emotion for his captain was also a little strange.He casually took out a box of chewing gum from his trouser pocket, threw it to Liszt without any explanation, and then continued to maintain the parts of the firearm meticulously, and said without raising his head, "Maybe some chewing gum at this time? Peach The taste is not bad."

"Of course, this stuff tastes really good."

With a smile at the corner of his mouth, Liszt reached out his hand to grab the chewing gum that flew over, opened the lid and took two for himself, as the taste of the peach instantly spread throughout his mouth, he couldn't help squinting his eyes.Nodding slightly, the peach smell made his saliva secrete even more, and Liszt also thanked the soldier: "Thank you very much for the chewing gum."

But the soldier just shrugged his shoulders and didn't answer. He was still bending over and carefully cleaning the barrel of his gun.In his opinion, a word from his boss is not as satisfying as what he got from cleaning the gun barrel with his own hands.These marines with their own personalities and emotions don't only know simple instructions like robots, they are simply the reactions of living humans when they communicate with other people.

"Clah la la la la la—"

While chewing the peach-flavored gum in his mouth, there was a sudden rushing sound of some kind of heavy rain falling on the rock wall outside.Liszt turned his head to look at the entrance of the tunnel, but was a little surprised to find that the sound of thunder disappeared with the heavy rain, and at the same time a chill also appeared in the cave with the heavy rain.

One autumn rain and one cold, and on the day when the first autumn rain appeared, the incomparable coldness had already made the soldiers in the cave couldn't help but put on their jackets, and all got into the warm military sleeping bags. .This kind of military sleeping bag integrates heat preservation, warmth, and moisture resistance. After filling a lot of duck down, the overall feeling becomes more comfortable.Although there is no way to compare it with the sofa at home, it is much better than the hard rock formation.

And as the torrential rain fell from the sky, it also hit the entrance of the karst cave with a little stagnant water.Liszt's position is also just near the entrance of the cave. Although the curved and concave-convex tunnel can block most of the accumulated water, there is still a little water stain flowing into the cave at the bottom of the horizontal line.If you don't deal with it immediately, I'm afraid there will be a small piece of water in the cave the next day, and no one wants to face that wet appearance.

Such cheap things as waterproof sandbags are almost one point in the system.And Liszt came to the entrance of the cave, looked at the accumulated water in the recess, and directly exchanged for more than [-] waterproof sandbags, which almost completely blocked the half-meter-long tunnel.These military waterproof sandbags made of special soil, not to mention ordinary small streams, even if they are main roads hit by floods, as long as there are enough of them, they can build a waterproof low wall.

"Wow wow wow!"

But when Liszt was at the entrance of the tunnel, a familiar animal cry appeared in the heavy rain, which made his figure pause slightly, and even the movement of piling up waterproof sandbags calmed down.He frowned slowly, and the animal's cries became louder and louder above the hole barely blocked by rocks, as if it had reached the top of the cliff.And the full-hearted barking, even in this wind and rain, did not show any weakness, so Liszt couldn't help frowning slightly: "Military dog?!"

The movements in his hands stopped instantly, and he turned to look at the slightly twisting tunnel entrance behind him, which completely blocked the light in the cave, and he couldn't help but feel slightly relieved.And the voice of the military dog ​​seemed to linger overhead for a few minutes before disappearing in the huge torrential rain, seemingly finding nothing.And now Liszt couldn't help but reveal a lucky smile. The sudden heavy rain helped him wash away all the smells. Even if the dogs' noses were several times more sensitive, it would be difficult to find any clues in the heavy rain.

PS: I'm so tired today, I'll do two updates first.Sorry everyone, I will try my best to type tomorrow, but I have to accompany my wife to the hospital for a physical examination in the morning. After all, the baby is about to be born, and the doctor recommends to go for a checkup every two weeks.
