Vault 32

Chapter 12
The sky was as dark as ink, and thick dark clouds had already covered the sky above this small city. The light of the moon and stars could no longer be projected down, as if it was a place abandoned by God.Gray mist flows slowly under the street lamps on both sides of the road. In the empty rooms, the lights are still on, but everything is as silent as the deepest night.

Liszt bent down lightly and swiftly and walked through an intersection. Liszt held the AKS-74U short assault rifle in his arms, his eyes were full of vigilance, and his face was also cautious.Slowly raising his left hand, he gestured towards a window next to him, and O'Neal behind him immediately understood what he meant, and squatted and trotted towards that side like a cat.

"No abnormalities were found."

Although the gray mist obstructed most of the sight lines, things within a hundred meters could be roughly seen clearly due to the illumination of the lights.O'Neal's eyes scanned the street carefully, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he nodded, and gestured to Liszt and the others behind him, pointed forward, and gestured: "Safe."

After receiving O'Neill's confirmation, Liszt trotted forward immediately, pointing the AKS-74U short assault rifle in his hand to guard the surroundings, and while he was guarding, John and two other soldiers also quickly trotted over, holding Raised their respective weapons to guard both sides of the road together, and formed a standard urban warfare offensive formation at the corner.

Those with military education and those without military education have completely different behaviors, especially when fighting in cities with extremely complex environments. Excellent military literacy can not only save one's own life, but also improve the coordination ability of the entire team. For highlighting and rounding.

But the entire street was still silent, and apart from their breathing and panting, nothing could be heard.Whether it was the chirping of insects at night or the sound of pets, they had all disappeared into the gray mist, let alone human beings like them.Of course, if humans really appeared in front of them, if the situation was wrong, it might not be a smiling face of relief, but five automatic rifles with the triggers tightly pulled!

"Now there are still three streets away from the Gorse Block."

Looking at the dim surroundings, Liszt couldn't help squinting at the surrounding apartment buildings, the windows that were either dark or bright formed a stark contrast.Exhaling slowly, Liszt raised his wrist to look at the time, patted O'Neill in front, and nodded to John and the others behind, "Let's rest for half an hour."

"Perhaps we should go there sooner. If we walk faster on Santiaojie, we may reach it in half an hour."

However, one of the soldiers following O'Neill put forward a different opinion. Holding his M4A1 assault rifle, he subconsciously looked at the street in front of him filled with gray fog. The empty and silent appearance made him swallow Tumo: "Of course, if we rest for half an hour, maybe...our physical strength will be better."

Glancing at the soldier and turning his head to look at O'Neill at the same time, Liszt didn't continue to say anything, just licked his lips, looked at a room in the apartment building next to him, pointed to it, and walked over carefully , and at the same time said lightly: "Let's find something to eat."

John followed immediately, while O'Neill and his two subordinates stayed behind for a while, but they didn't follow immediately.He was also a little moved by the suggestion made by his team members just now, but he couldn't help swallowing as he looked at the quiet and dark street, and nodded to his two subordinates: "Let's go find something to eat first." of."

From noon to now, they haven't eaten anything, not even a sip of water. The nearly high-intensity march lasted for nearly an hour. Whether it is physical strength or mental strength, they are almost at the limit for them. Encountering that terrifying deathclaw was really unsustainable.

And the way to replenish food is also very simple. The apartments on both sides of the road are almost free to eat. This is also a small advantage in urban warfare.After all, there are still a lot of daily necessities in the room. Just open the refrigerator and you can get a lot of ready-to-eat items, which is quite convenient and quick.

"I'll go first."

Slowly opening the apartment window, Liszt carefully looked at the room, pink wallpaper and warm furniture, it seems to be a young girl's bedroom.After confirming that there was nothing abnormal inside, he propped himself up with both hands, quickly turned over and jumped in, and stood in the middle of the room. The AKS-74U short assault rifle in his hand swept across the closet and the door, and waited quietly for three to five seconds before heading towards the room. Looking at John behind them, they nodded and said, "Very good, nothing unusual."

"There is still no one. It really makes me wonder, where are the residents here?"

Climbing into the middle of the room, John let out a breath slowly. He seemed to find something out of the corner of his eyes. He reached out and picked up a photo on the table next to him. On it was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, with her parents, Smile happily together.But John couldn't help frowning and said, "It's as if they all disappeared."

Picking up a book next to him, Liszt couldn't help but smile slightly. This is Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet", with his name written in delicate handwriting.He had read this book before, and it was no different from his previous life. Looking at the name on it, Liszt read softly: "Windsor."

"The military briefly took control of the small town for a few hours on behalf of the city government and demanded the evacuation of several blocks of residents."

O'Neill looked around the room and heard Liszt's conversation, he couldn't help shaking his head slowly and said, "Maybe they have already left this block." But as he spoke, there was a self-deprecating smile at the corner of his mouth, but his face was complicated. Chui Mu said: "But who knows what it is?"

The room suddenly fell silent. They all suddenly discovered that the residents in the block seemed to have disappeared in an instant, and they did not receive any information about the evacuation.Even if the group of residents evacuated, there should always be some news and noise, and they all disappeared without a sound. For soldiers like them who used to be regular soldiers, this is simply impossible.

"I'm going to check the kitchen. With luck, maybe we can find some ready-made food to fill our stomachs."

Slowly opened the room, looking at the normal living room outside, the AKS-74U short assault rifle in his hand has been replaced by a more powerful Winchester M1887 shotgun at close range, and judged the unknown in the kitchen, Lister He walked over with it, and at the same time told John and the others: "Search all the rooms separately, and make sure there is no abnormality."

No one knows exactly what is in these rooms, and a thorough search is at least more cautious than emergencies.And the most important thing is that Liszt has to go to the kitchen to find some supplies, not just food, but also exchange some ammunition in the system space.

Everything in the kitchen is safe, just like the kitchens of ordinary people, including refrigerators, kitchen counters, gas stoves, and vegetable sinks.Turning his head and looking at John and O'Neill who walked into other rooms to search, a dialog box instantly appeared on Liszt's retina. Before he knew it, the game system had exchanged stacks of cards according to his choice. thing.

There are more than 74 points left unused for the AKS-[-]U short assault rifle before, plus the [-] points for killing the two deathclaws, if it is not afraid that O'Neill and the others will be suspicious, it will be enough for Liszt to exchange for it. They are fully armed with weaponry from start to finish.

Simply exchanged the standard 20-round magazines for the 74 AKS-30U short assault rifles that are most needed now, and 5 boxes of 10-round arrow-shaped shotgun shells, and the unknown dialog box in Liszt's eyes quietly disappeared. .But the backpack behind him bulged slightly when he turned his head and opened the refrigerator door.

The 30-round standard magazines are consumables. Although they are cheap, they require a large quantity. Although it seems that only 10 points can be exchanged for a magazine, the total points calculated for 20 magazines are also a full 200 points, almost The requirements for killing two Mexican guerrillas were met. If it weren't for the surplus points after killing the death claws, Liszt might not be able to obtain sufficient ammunition supplies.

"Mr. Lister, this room is safe."

John walked over with his AKS-74U short assault rifle, carefully glanced at the street outside the kitchen window, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he turned his head to look at the refrigerator that Liszt opened, and said with some surprise: "It's really well prepared inside." , it looks like we should be able to have a big meal tonight."

Just in the refrigerator, there are cheese, eggs, parsley, bacon, hard bread and other items, which fully meet the daily reserves of a middle-class family.But Liszt looked at the items in the refrigerator and shook his head helplessly, took out bread and bacon and cheese and stuffed them into John's arms next to him, saying: "They are all raw materials, we are not in our own vacation cabin."

"Sorry, Mr. Liszt, my consideration is too one-sided." After a moment, John also understood Liszt's meaning, lighting up the gas stove and range hood to cook, in this quiet street, it really has nothing to do with shooting different.Especially the smell of the food, who knows if it will attract that terrifying monster?

"It's okay, we'd better replenish our strength quickly."

The kitchen taps in this world are still hot and cold, and they can also be eaten directly.Liszt unscrewed the valve of the hot water, and a stream of scalding hot water remained immediately. He grabbed a stainless steel anti-scald water basin to catch it, and said to John: "At least this hot water is enough for us. Calories needed for digestion."

Bacon and cheese can be eaten raw, and raw eggs can also replenish energy. It is quite common for Americans to eat with hard bread.Ask John to bring the hot water to the living room. Basically, this simple but quick energy and calorie dinner has been perfectly presented.
