Vault 32

Chapter 13 Diverging Opinions
Bacon is a manufactured product. Although it is raw meat after being smoked, it can already be absorbed by the human stomach.Eating in small bites with bacon sandwiched between a piece of sliced ​​bread, Liszt chewed it delicately, and occasionally took a sip of hot water mixed with it to swallow, quickly replenishing the energy consumed before.

The five of them sat scattered in the corner of the living room, each of them had their own food in front of them, but the rifles that hadn't been attached to the safety were still at hand, even when they were eating, their eyes glanced around from time to time. alert.The gray mist outside had thickened a bit just now, and they saw that the lights only thirty meters away had become blurred.

Liszt poured a raw egg into his mouth and swallowed it directly, but his eyes were fixed on the gray mist that was clearly visible outside the window, and his brows could not help but frown slowly.This weird gray mist had never been seen in the small town before, but now it filled the small town, which made him feel even more uneasy.

This is the world before the fallout wasteland, a small city on the east coast of the continental United States before the nuclear war.In his previous life, besides those famous American cities, Liszt could not remember other small cities and small towns. The population really doesn't have much popularity.

But it is precisely because there is not much popularity, and after the nuclear war, it is just an uninhabited ruin, so Liszt does not know what is going on in this small town.And according to the information learned from the radiation in the previous life, the deathclaw developed as a biological weapon should now be in an extremely secret laboratory, instead of appearing in this small town and being strangled by the military mobilizing troops.

"That kind of monster is not something we can know, that thing is very strange, isn't it?"

Slowly swallowing a mouthful of bread, Liszt raised his head to look at O'Neill in the corner on the right, gently raised his hand to pick up the hot water and took a sip, and as the heat flowed down his throat, he said lightly: "I I hope to know something about those monsters, otherwise we encountered those monsters, it is really extremely dangerous."

Hearing Liszt's words, O'Neill, who was still eating bread, paused, looked up at Liszt in front of him, but showed a faint mocking smile on his face.Shaking his head, he continued to stuff the bread in his mouth, and at the same time said as if to point out: "Military secrets, no comment."

"Military secrets? Well, it seems the federal government knows about this?"

John in the other corner pushed away the iron dinner plate in front of him in an instant, stood up with the AKS-74U short assault rifle in his hand, glared at O'Neill and gritted his teeth and said, "Why did this happen? My Two friends, two citizens of the federal government, were killed by that monster because of this so-called military secret!"

"John, I understand your grief over the loss of a friend, but as a soldier who has been on the front lines, where is your discipline to control your emotions? If I were you, you'd better calm down now."

O'Neill didn't stand up, but just looked up at John's impatient appearance, and didn't even pick up his M4A1 assault rifle next to him. He still ate bread and bacon quickly in small bites, and there was still a little mocking look in his calm voice: "You ask me, how do I know?" He looked into John's eyes and said, "I advise you not to do anything irrational, now there are still three streets away from the military defense line, you have to be responsible for what you do Responsible for."

The other two subordinates beside him stood up slowly, and the M4A1 assault rifles in their hands were pointed at John, and even faintly pointed at Liszt who was still sitting beside him.But following O'Neill's words, the muzzles of the two of them also lowered slightly, which seemed to show their sincerity.

"Okay John, there are some things no one wants."

Liszt finally spoke, and he shook his head at John who was still clenching his teeth and staring at O'Neill, signaling him to calm down as well.He's got what he wants to know because O'Neal has simply passed on what he knows.Slowly picking up the water glass in front of him, he said softly, "We will continue to set off in 10 minutes."

John, who was originally excited, put down the AKS-74U short assault rifle in his hand, panting deeply, but finally sat back in his corner again.The death of Jack and Albin is still unacceptable to him. Friends who were once very close friends have now become corpses with incomplete limbs. This may make him unable to react now.

Everyone seems to have fallen into a kind of silence, only the sound of food chewing and drinking water echoing softly in the room.And the gray mist outside the room has become more and more dense, which seems to make their already suppressed hearts even more heavy and uneasy.

"Bang bang bang - bang bang bang - bang bang bang -"

But in an instant, a burst of subtle gunshots appeared in their ears. Although it sounded like random shooting, it was like an atomic bomb explosion in this silent room. Everyone stopped eating in an instant, half kneeling like a cheetah Then, with their rifles pointed at their shoulders, they bent down and stood vigilantly in the corner of the wall where they were.

The same is true for Liszt, leaning tightly against the wall, he carefully watched the window in front of him, the Winchester M1887 shotgun in his hand was already in his hand, and the black muzzle followed his Keep your eyes on the window in front of you, as long as there is any emergency, a shot of arrow-shaped shotgun is enough to deal with most situations!
"Three bursts of small-caliber rifles, about 500 meters away, the sound is an M4A1 assault rifle."

Opening his mouth slowly, Liszt gestured to the left outside the window, and everyone in the living room immediately understood what he meant.And Liszt also stood up gently, bent down at the bottom of the window and quickly walked towards the bedroom where they had just entered, and at the same time gestured towards them: "There is a situation."

Leaning against the corner of the wall, half of his head was quietly revealed. Before Liszt had time to see the situation in the gray fog outside, a furious roar came from the street outside. At the same time, the gunshots that were still ringing, It has completely disappeared, and there is no more crisp sound.

The dense gray fog made it impossible to see clearly what was happening 500 meters away, and even the lights more than 20 meters away were blurred, and the real limit of vision was only about [-] meters away.But all of them held their breath lightly. Although they didn't know where the gunshots appeared, they could still know what happened with the roar.

"Did you encounter that terrifying monster?"

A soldier behind O'Neill spoke slowly, and he looked at the thick gray fog and the extremely dark street, and couldn't help but take a few deep breaths, as if suppressing the fear in his heart, he murmured subconsciously : "All the monsters in the laboratory have really escaped, we are really going to die here...cough..."

But before he finished speaking, another soldier beside him immediately punched his chest with an elbow. The blow to his chest made him cough, but he swallowed his original voice as if he was talking to himself .Even O'Neill turned his head to look at him, and slowly warned: "Don't talk too much."

"laboratory?"

John glanced at the soldier next to him and O'Neill, his original handsome face was only serious.He gritted his teeth tightly, even the AKS-74 short assault rifle in his arms was already firmly held by him.And he didn't say much, just gritted his teeth slowly and said: "If I can go back alive, I will expose this scandal to the media!"

However, his words aroused O'Neill's mocking eyes. He just glanced at John's hand tightly holding the gun handle, and he slowly squatted behind the window, raised the full-shield goggles in front of him, and said in a tone With obvious sarcasm: "If you want to, then you have your freedom."

"Okay, it's time for us to go, and we'll talk about everything after it's safe."

He exhaled lightly, but Liszt frowned with a little haze.He slowly opened the window, and wisps of gray mist seemed to be flowing outside the window. Liszt patted John on the shoulder next to him, his face already quite ugly: "Our plan must be changed." He said to O'Neal said: "We have to wait."

"Wait? We are already very close to Plantagenet Avenue. If we hurry up, we can reach the army defense line in half an hour."

Frowning slightly, O'Neill looked at the thicker fog outside, and his face was also quite embarrassed.But when he looked at the lights on the street outside, he clenched his hands subconsciously, and said solemnly to Liszt: "We can't wait any longer, we must rush to Plantagenet Avenue as soon as possible."

The same was true of the two soldiers behind him, even John looked a little anxious.In this weird little town, the monsters they encountered were already too terrifying. If they could return to the army, at least their safety would be guaranteed, and they would not have to be as frightened as they are now, or even risk being killed at any time. .

"If you want to go, then I choose to continue waiting."

Slowly lowering his head, Liszt glanced at John, and he also saw the desire in John's eyes, so he took out three 30-round standard magazines behind him and handed them to him without hesitation: "This is a spare magazine, Enough to deal with less intense battles." As he spoke, he nodded to O'Neill and said, "Be careful."

"Okay." O'Neill took a deep look at Liszt, and jumped out without the slightest hesitation. At the same time, John and the other two soldiers also jumped out.At the window, O'Neill paused, and whispered to Liszt seemingly unintentionally: "Although it's dangerous outside, we can only survive if we find troops before dawn."
