Vault 32

Chapter 7 In the Light
When he came to this chaotic world, Liszt felt quite surprised, especially when the United States invaded Mexico for oil, which was already quite different from the peaceful world in his previous life.Moreover, in the second year after the United States invaded Mexico, the coalition forces of the Middle East countries in this world actually went to war with the European Union, also because of the increasingly scarce oil resources.

Even in the third year, the United Nations, which was originally a puppet with greater significance, finally collapsed completely because it was unable to handle any crisis.Among them, the most direct impact of the non-existence of the United Nations is that in 2053, a large-yield nuclear bomb exploded in Tel Aviv, the capital of Israel, and directly wiped out three parts of this originally rich and peaceful city on the earth. of two!

And even in the past period of time, the nuclear weapons deal in the Middle East was rumored wildly in TV reports, and it has almost reached the stage of not avoiding people.Both the United States and the Soviet Union are holding each other back in Mexico, and the wars in the European Union and the Middle East have become a complete mess. The prices of oil resources have almost become sky-high prices, and they are about to become controlled commodities.

Liszt felt that if this continued, the legendary nuclear war might be coming soon.Even he, looking at the reports broadcast on the map and in the news almost every day, can understand in his heart that these powder kegs that have been ignited will sooner or later set off a wave of terror.

"AKS-74U short assault rifle, Soviet weapons are still simple and reliable."

Without continuing to think about other things, Liszt slowly reached out and opened a wooden box in front of him.With the strong smell of gun oil coming out, a black-brown AKS-74U short assault rifle was lying inside, with three 30-round standard-capacity magazines beside it, which seemed to be ammunition given as a gift when purchasing the rifle.

Liszt nodded with satisfaction. This powerful, strong and reliable Soviet rifle still made Liszt quite satisfied. However, he did not continue to greet John, Jack, and Albin who were still guarding the living room. He just closed the door again. Almost instantly, a bunch of slightly scattered items appeared in front of him, which were the supplies he exchanged.

But there are only four pairs of urban combat boots, four military backpacks, and more than 20 AKS-74U magazines.These are the supplies that the four of them must separate. As a former elite soldier, Liszt certainly knows that these things are essential for him at present.

"Picked up a little something, but now you can come and get it yourself."

Letting out a breath, Liszt finally stretched out his hand with a little ease on his face.At the same time, he stretched out his hand to pull off the cotton slippers he was wearing and threw them aside, opened the door and gestured to John and the others outside, and said softly: "I hope you haven't forgotten all the things that were in the army back then." It's spotless."

Seeing Liszt's signal, they immediately walked towards this side carefully, all bending over carefully.But when they saw several wooden boxes on the ground in the bedroom and the AKS-74U short assault rifle in Liszt's hand, they couldn't help but show shock.

They are all standard U.S. Army veterans, and they have all fought directly with the Mexican guerrillas on the battlefield.When they saw the weapons in Liszt's hands, they had already seen that these brand new firearms were not modified semi-automatic rifles at all, but genuine assault rifles capable of bursting fire!

The United States in this world still doesn't ban guns, but it also doesn't let go of restrictions like the previous life.For example, this kind of assault rifle with automatic firepower must be changed to semi-automatic before it can be sold, and the charge of the bullet has also been reduced by a certain amount, which completely reduces the lethality, so it can almost only be used as a shotgun.

"They're all brand new rifles, as if they just came out of the arsenal!"

Slightly smelling the smell of gun oil, John couldn't help picking up a magazine and inserting it, and directly pulled the bolt to open the safety. The smooth movement and agile appearance also showed that this former elite ranger has now came back.And John looked up at Liszt in surprise, and couldn't help joking, "Are these all your trophies, Mr. Liszt."

"Well, a small collection from some friends."

Smiling, Liszt didn't directly answer John's words, and directly and quickly put the city combat boots on his feet, stood up and stepped on the ground, which fit quite well.He nodded, picked up his own Winchester M1887 shotgun, and at the same time put the AKS-74U short assault rifle and backpack on his back, and then said: "Hurry up, when it is completely dark, I will I always feel that our troubles will be bigger.”

Both Jack and Albin quickly sorted out their things, and immediately equipped their combat boots and backpacks without saying anything. At the same time, they fiddled with the AKS-74U short assault rifle in their hands a few times, and temporarily familiarized themselves with the characteristics of this Soviet-style rifle. After confirming the application, he looked up at Liszt and nodded, "We are ready."

John also quickly changed his shoes. These urban combat boots are strong and reliable, and the most important thing is that they can reduce the noise caused by other shoes rubbing against the ground.After packing everything up, he also stood up and held his AKS-74U short assault rifle, frowning like Lister and asked softly: "Then what is your plan next?"

"My plan was to walk three blocks to the city's police station."

Liszt said it directly, and didn't talk nonsense to the three of them.Especially after a moment of contemplation, he nodded towards John and said: "That place is at the intersection of six major districts, and there are main roads leading directly to the city center. There should be a defense line stationed by the military now. Even if there is no, maybe we You can also get some supplies."

"A good idea."

John, Jack, and Albin glanced at each other. With weapons and equipment, their faces became more confident.But John still turned his head to look at the gray mist outside the window. The dark sky seemed to let them step into hell at any time.Swallowing lightly, John also asked in a low voice with some uncertainty: "Why don't we stay here and wait for rescue?"

But after he said that, he shook his head silently, and Jack and Albin didn't say much, because they both understood their current situation.Looking at the dim appearance outside the window, Liszt first picked up the AKS-74U short assault rifle in his hand and walked forward, just casually said: "I don't believe the speed at which the reinforcements arrived."

Standing still in front of the door, Liszt slowly opened the door of his room. The entire corridor was dim, but there was also a strange silence.The combat boots under his feet stepped lightly on the concrete floor, and he led the three of John behind him slowly walking in the corridor, they were very cautious.

This is the fourth floor. There are a total of eight households living together in this apartment building. Liszt still remembers that they are all retired soldiers.Slowly standing still at the stairway, Liszt ignored the elevator that had already been disabled due to a power system failure, and turned to John and asked, "Is there only four of us in this apartment building?"

"Well, we knocked on a few guys' doors, but nobody answered except Jack and John and you."

Albin, who lives on the first floor, was standing on the side of the stairs holding an AKS-74U short assault rifle. Looking at the dim light around him, he carefully glanced down the stairs, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual, he came over and gently He shook his head and said, "Otherwise we wouldn't suspect that you weren't home anymore."

"It's really strange."

Shaking his head, Liszt had no intention of continuing to look for the residents. He tightened his military backpack and the Winchester M1887 shotgun tied to it. The stairs go down.And the AKS-74U short assault rifle in his hand is always pointing at the stairs below, as long as any enemy appears in front of him, a dozen bullets will be thrown out instantly!
But they walked down the stairs slowly and came to the stairs, but they didn't encounter any enemies.Only the dense gray mist permeated the air, making it impossible to see what it was like at a distance of more than ten meters.Slightly gritted his teeth, Liszt stepped out of his apartment building, and at the same time whispered to the three people behind: "Be careful, you have to keep up at this time."

"Understood." John and the three of them responded concisely. If they were lost in such a heavy fog, they would be like being alone in a large-scale troop crossing. They would encounter enemies anytime and anywhere.If the elites of the four troops can cheer each other up together, then they will be frightened at any time alone.

"Om-crack...crack...bum-"

But just as they came to the nearby bushes, a strange sound sounded instantly. At the same time, in their eyes, the surrounding apartment buildings that were originally dark and the streetlights on both sides of the street were all lit up.In particular, the street lamps that had only appeared at night turned on one by one, dispelling most of the darkness brought by the gray fog and dark clouds, and bringing a small amount of light to this block.

The street lights on both sides of the road flickered with electric sparks, as if they had broken down and had to be repaired again.But after that light and then dark, all of them turned yellow and white, and a small amount of light was released in the dark neighborhood under the dark clouds.However, with the addition of the light projected from the windows on both sides of the road in the block, it also increased the field of vision a lot.

But at this time, Lister bent down slightly, holding the AKS-74U short assault rifle tightly, and the butt of the gun was pressed tightly against his shoulder.And it was Liszt's eyes that penetrated the standard Soviet U-shaped notched sight on the muzzle of the gun at two points and one line, and as the light of the street lamp shone on the road below, a tall black figure was slowly turning around, The barb-like sharpness on the back thorns extends all the way to the tail, and the forward curved back is full of sharp teeth and the two goat-like horns on the forehead, which shows that it seems that it is not human.
