Vault 32

Chapter 126

The cold wind from the north has blown, and the cold air has dropped a slight frost, making the world feel the approach of winter.On the top of the Rocky Mountains, the white snow has become whiter and whiter, like white-haired mature women in the cold ice, showing its unique charm from ancient times to modern times.

The cold current at extremely high altitudes seems to have frozen the air, but as the sun rises and the temperature warms up again, the sparse snow and frost melt into water, forming a large number of streams and lakes on both sides of the Rocky Mountains. The abundant water resources have also made the virgin forests that exist on the mountains and rivers, as well as the small-leaf shrubs and other plants growing in them, more and more lush. Even in late autumn, which is already on the verge of being invaded by cold winter, it is as lush and full of life as midsummer.

This is the most standard mountain jungle area, and the continuous streams and rivers also separate these mountains and forests, and the lakes, large and small, are dotted like pearls.And the creeks and rivers connect these lakes, and the lakes also guarantee the water level, so that these creeks and rivers converge with the drop of the mountains and become a wide river that extends to the Pacific Ocean.

With the continuous mountains and huge virgin forests, it is quite easy to hide an army of 10,000+ people.There is no doubt about this for Lister. It has been nearly a month and a half since they landed ashore. Not only did they find no trace of the Soviets or Canadians, they were extremely well hidden. Instead, they lived extremely well in this primeval forest. They even set up a few tents under the cover of trees on a leeward mountain col to form a temporary camp.

The land that was originally cluttered with countless shrubs had been completely cleared away by members of the Marine Corps with unskilled gardeners in three days.Moreover, the pitted ground has been firmly stepped on by them, and they even covered it with a layer of pebbles picked up from the river bank to add hardness.Although it still looks quite rudimentary, it also looks like a camp, at least it is much better than those camps for wild adventures or hunting. At least they can leisurely build a fence with wood to prevent the extremely large number of Rocky Mountains. There are many ferocious wild animals such as bears or coyotes.

The sun has risen high in the sky, and a slightly seductive scent has appeared in the camp. Fresh salmon have been ripped open and sprinkled with spices.And the standard BBQ outdoor oven has been set up in the middle of the camp, and the charcoal fire inside is burning fiercely. After a while, these excellent quality fruit wood charcoal will be able to cook the marinated salmon Grilled.

Several young guys from the Marine Corps stood around the grill, with eager eyes, especially seeing that the charcoal fire had been stabilized, so they immediately inserted the refractory stainless steel braze into the fish's mouth, Then slowly put it on the BBQ oven, and as the smell of the spice was ignited by the high temperature, a scent that made people salivate quickly spread throughout the camp, making it still waving the engineering shovel, The other soldiers who were flattened by the mountain in the back attracted them, seeing the grilled fish slowly tumbling on the charcoal fire, their faces became even more smiling.

"Texas BBQ is known the world over!"

The young man who was flipping the grilled fish had a proud smile on his face. He reached out and took a bottle of hot sauce and spread it directly on the surface of the grilled fish. This kind of barbecue sauce with added sugar can make any grilled meat extremely delicious, and It's also one of his grilling secrets.As the appearance of the salmon turned a little bit scorched, almost all the Marine Corps members around the grill couldn't wait to yell.

And their urging also made the pride on the young man's face even more proud. He rolled a total of four grilled fish with both hands, and there were still a lot of grilled corn and sausages on the grill. In ten minutes, the big dinner plate was already filled with easy-to-cook sausages and corn, as well as the four salmon.Passing this plate to the soldiers who were already hungry and thirsty, he also had a slight smile on his face, and there were pieces of bloodshot steak on the table behind him, which he easily put on the grill with tongs On the way, as the sizzling butter rolled, he also nodded in satisfaction, adjusted the height of the charcoal fire, then turned his head and laughed loudly to the soldiers behind him: "Try the butter from Texas later." Big beef burgers, let you know what enjoyment is!"

The soldiers who had been busy all morning did not have enough time to continue listening to his chatter. They all rolled their eyes and quickly devoured the sausages and corn in their hands. Even the four plump salmon had already eaten. This group of young guys with huge appetites divided it into more than a dozen portions. They devoured it all in just a few minutes, licking their lips and looking at the half-cooked steak. Everyone could see the hunger in their eyes.

"It's not cooked yet, I think you'd better be patient for ten minutes."

While they were devouring their food, Liszt quickly walked out of the bushes outside the camp with two soldiers, wearing a full set of bulletproof vests and helmets, and a jungle camouflage auspicious suit with a hood.Liszt waved his hand towards the secret whistle hidden in the bushes, then walked directly towards the oven, picked up two thick pork sausages and handed them to the two soldiers behind him, and took two slices of bread himself He grabbed a sausage, stuffed it into his mouth, and at the same time shrugged his shoulders to the boys with salivating faces: "You guys chose to have barbecue today, but in fact we don't have so many barbecue masters." Come bake these things."

"Captain, you're late. The first wave of delicious grilled fish has already gone into the stomachs of these guys."

The soldier who was still busy by the grill also had a smile on his face, and slightly grilled a few pieces of tender corn and handed them to Liszt and the two marine soldiers who had just returned, while flipping through ten pieces of corn on his grill. Looking at the sizzling appearance of several huge steaks, they also gently tested the tenderness with tongs, and at the same time sprinkled a handful of New Mexico's extremely spicy spices, shrugged to Liszt and said: "If you guessed correctly, If so, maybe Captain, your investigation this time still found nothing?"

"Basically, the topographic map around here has been released."

Nodding, Liszt stuffed the last piece of sausage into his mouth, chewed the oily and delicious sausage, took out a palm-sized notebook in his arms, and threw it towards the arms of a soldier in front of him, Sitting on a chair made of wooden piles at the same time, he took off his auspicious suit very tiredly, nodded to the soldier and said, "Little Karl, as one of the top few outstanding graduates of the military academy, I think you will be able to pass through the surrounding area." The trend of mountains and rivers can tell the exact location here."

"Here?" The soldier named Karl put down the small tray in his hand, licked his somewhat greasy lips with his tongue, but opened the notebook lightly with his hand.The surrounding topographic map has been drawn on it, and at the same time, according to the continuous direction of the mountains, a small part of the expected shape of the mountains has been drawn.Slightly frowning, he took out a military map from his breast pocket, and compared the direction of the mountains above, he couldn't help but whispered: "Is it British Columbia, Canada?"

"If it's just British Columbia, then I'd already know that too."

Chewing the sausage in his mouth, Liszt picked out a piece of steak and put it on the dinner plate. It was still about four years old, and the blood inside hadn't been completely roasted.But as a member of the United States Federation in this life, his eating habits are already familiar with this kind of half-baked meat. He stuffed the meat into his mouth three times and two times, and looked at Carl's frowning and careful comparison on the map. Shrugging his shoulders involuntarily, he said, "If it's the American Federation, then the west coast can be considered more prosperous."

"Of course, the west coast of the United States is not like this area. At least there are some flat areas."

Karl's brows frowned slightly. He seemed to feel that the military map in his hand was somewhat incorrect. He took out another map from his pocket with his backhand. He nodded to Liszt with certainty and said: "We are specifically sure that we are We are in Canada, and we have also obtained specific information about British Columbia. I think it is actually very simple to find our location." Slowly looking at the terrain on the map, he was slightly startled by the continuous mountains: "I Remember, Captain, you once said that you were drifted by the undercurrent for nearly four hours?"

"what happened?"

Frowning slightly, Liszt also seemed to hear some kind of inconceivability in Carl's mouth.And he also leaned over and watched Carl's eyes fixed on the map, an area in British Columbia, Canada, with a kind of disbelief in his eyes.But when he looked at an archipelago just outside the mainland on the map, he couldn't help but licked the corners of his mouth, and there was some kind of absurd absurdity in his tone: "You mean, I was taken away by the dark tide for hundreds of nautical miles , all the way to the Queen Charlotte Islands?"

But he turned his head to look at the surrounding mountains and the obvious mountain drop, but finally put down the dinner plate in his hand, scanned the surrounding standard specific locations on the map, and swallowed involuntarily.He pointed to a point in the northwest of the map, which was the area where a wide river bend was located, but his brows had already frowned into the word "Sichuan": "If you read correctly, this is Prince Rupert Port? "

Liszt already knew where he was without the need for the Marines around him to nod.He couldn't help shaking his head. At the beginning, the old Bunar exhausted his thoughts and wanted him to go to Prince Rupert Port to monitor the entry and exit of Soviet warships.But now he has come to the primeval forest near Prince Rupert quite easily, but he no longer needs the help of the United States Federation, or restraint.With the golden finger, he has already started to get all the help about himself in this area to cope with the nuclear war that will definitely occur in the future!
