Vault 32

Chapter 59

The Cold War, the haze that lasted half a century on Earth in the previous life, almost made everyone in the world seem to be choked by the throat.Because the two poles collided and entangled with each other, the fuse of the nuclear war had almost been ignited several times, and it was forcibly suppressed because of the restraint of both sides.But even so, all countries in the world are frightened, especially when people who have experienced that era describe the fear they once felt in film and television works.

The cloud of nuclear war in this world has been hanging over hundreds of years, and the restraint and forbearance during this period have reached their limit.Recorded in history, there have been more than one armed conflicts between the Soviet Union and the American Federation on the border, and even head-on battlefields have reached the point of war.If the leaders of both sides were not afraid of the nuclear forces possessed by both sides, then it is estimated that the war that could destroy the world would have caused countless mushroom clouds to rise on the earth without waiting until 2077.

But this kind of repression and forbearance is like a cover that clogs the steam discharge. When everything goes to extremes, an explosion will appear.Everything had been predicted for that day, the depletion of oil resources and the end of the war in the Middle East, all symbolized the final outbreak.But Lister knew that on October 2077, 10, a standard day, nuclear war broke out.

Sometimes even the tragedy of the nuclear explosion would automatically appear in Liszt's mind, because he knew the so-called radiation wasteland, and from another perspective, he also lived in the radiation wasteland.But the game is still a game. Characters can be upgraded. Humans can wrestle with death claws and super mutants. The tens of thousands of degrees of heat from nuclear explosions cannot burn the skin of creatures. An ordinary knife is in the hands of high-level and high-attribute characters. , but can kill the strongest mutant monsters.

This is a living world, and every time Liszt wakes up from the bed, he will have a deeper understanding of this world.Because he lived here himself, and living here he knew the history, the monsters, some horrors.There is no so-called level, no so-called attributes, and there is no embarrassment that you can kill mutant creatures with the most common knife, but you can't kill a legendary deathclaw with a fat nuclear bomb.

Slowly opening his eyes, Liszt pulled away the sleeping bag like a silkworm chrysalis, and a chill instantly awakened his head after a night of sleep.Taking a deep breath, a fresh breath of wild grass immediately entered his lungs through his nostrils, making him stretch his body in the sleeping bag, and completely got rid of the shackles of the sleeping bag under him.Twisting his neck, Liszt looked at the small one-person tent in front of him, sitting cross-legged in a sleeping bag, gently rubbing the corners of his brows: "There are still 18 years left."

The dream last night made him feel as if he was actually there. In the rising mushroom clouds, the high temperature and shock waves seemed to lift the mountains. Feel your heart beating to burst.Liszt clenched his fist slightly, and subconsciously reached out to touch his chest. The beating heart still had obvious tactile sensations, which made him shake his head and smile wryly: "It's really scary."

"Captain Liszt, are you awake?"

It seemed that they heard the voice from inside the tent, and the scouts in charge of guarding outside came over and asked softly.Liszt replied, but instead of continuing to sit in the tent, he opened the sleeping bag and bent over to stand up.Camping in the wild was not like going hunting or outing. He was in an area where fighting was happening all the time. He didn't take off his full armor and fell asleep wearing his shoes and combat uniform.

Opening the tent, a dim light has appeared in the sky, it seems that it is already morning, but because the sun has not yet hit the land, there is a slight chill with the wind blowing.Liszt raised his hand and looked at the time. The pointer showed that it was 05:30 in the morning. He yawned slowly, and nodded, "It's the same as the stipulated time."

In the surrounding tents, all the scouts who were also heavily armed came out, and their sleepy eyes were blown by the cold wind, and they all woke up immediately.The first night in the field was still quite difficult, but most of the soldiers who followed Liszt had been in the Mexican battlefield, and had experienced harsher and dangerous environments, but they were still able to adapt, within a few minutes After a while, they all returned to their usual vigor.

"There were no problems in the first half of the night and the second half of the night, and no abnormalities were found around."

Sofitel also got out of the tent, squinted at the fish white slowly appearing in the distance, stretched vigorously, and came to Liszt's side as if by accident, but the voice was only the two of them could understand. Heard: "But at four o'clock in the morning, an hour before now, we found a strange radio signal from our camp."

"Unfamiliar radio signal?" Liszt lowered his head slightly, but the corners of his mouth turned up in mockery involuntarily.The Anchorage defense line had just been established, and a large number of soldiers were needed to fill the gaps in the defense. It would be impossible for the spies who had already been lurking in the U.S. federal government to give up this great opportunity.Turning his head slightly to look at Sofitel's calm face, Liszt asked: "Caught it?"

"I got it, my father's generation was a Canadian immigrant, and he was trained as a spy by his father after he came to him."

Sophie nodded, and at the same time pointed to an infantry fighting vehicle with his chin without leaving a trace.Liszt followed his gaze. At the rear door of the M2 "Bradley" infantry fighting vehicle, two scouts were standing there smoking cigarettes. They seemed to be talking about something interesting, and from time to time The hearty laughter seemed very leisurely.But their eyes swept around while chatting and laughing, and their hands did not leave the M4A1 assault rifles hanging on their chests, obviously extremely cautious.

Pursing the corners of his mouth, Liszt packed his tent and sleeping bag. Sleeping on the ground last night made his waist a little numb.This made him couldn't help stretching his waist, and at the same time, he looked around at the still beautiful environment, with a smile on his face: "Maybe it's really good to have a cigarette in the morning." He said, then Walking towards the M2 "Bradley" infantry fighting vehicle, he smiled and said to the two soldiers at the same time: "Hey, my dear boys, borrow a cigarette and a fire at the same time."

This obvious excuse hardly required prior communication, and the two scouts immediately understood what Liszt meant.He reached out from his jacket and took out a box of cigarettes and handed it to Liszt. When he wanted to find a lighter, he patted his pocket but showed a dazed expression, and said embarrassingly: "I forgot the lighter inside." .”

"It's okay, it's just a little cold outside, I'll go inside to smoke."

With a cigarette in his mouth, Liszt stretched out his hand to open the car door, got in directly, and at the same time closed the door smoothly.And the two scouts shrugged helplessly, and after winking at each other, they dispersed and walked towards other places, as if they were busy with their own affairs.Even Sofitel had already walked towards the machine gun position above the hill. At this time, their mission had been completed, and the next step was Liszt's arrangement.

M2 "Bradley" infantry fighting vehicle, as a standard military vehicle of the US military, not only has strong actual combat performance, but also has a relatively spacious interior space.According to the physique of Americans, it is just right for eight burly men in full armor to sit in it. If the comfort level is not considered, even eleven people can squeeze in.

However, in the current compartment, there are already three people sitting quietly, smoking cigarettes with each other, as if they have encountered some troubles.Li Stella opened the door and walked in. The strong smell of smoke immediately made him cough lightly. With some helplessness, he opened the machine gun shooting hole next to him, and nodded at the three people who were watching him silently. The head said: "Good morning everyone, I want to take a breath of fresh air in this crucial morning."

Liszt had a smile on his face, as if he saw his three friends.However, his gaze focused on the guy sitting in the middle who was silently smoking a cigarette without saying a word, and said helplessly to the two people next to him: "What's the matter? Don't you like this beautiful morning?"

As he spoke, he took out a lighter from his jacket pocket, lightly lit the cigarette in his mouth, and took a deep breath greedily until the mellow gas filled his heart, and then slowly Spit it out slowly, and turned into a smoke dragon wandering in the carriage.And Liszt had a smile on his lips, looked straight at the guy sitting in the middle in front of him, nodded lightly and said: "Actually, you also know that sometimes dying is not terrible."
