War Lord

The special military boots are stepped on the ground full of radiant snow, and the military boots with close-fitting design are used, and the fifth-generation artificial leather is used. Not only is it light, but it also keeps warm. The sole is padded and thickened, and the bottom layer is covered with densely piled small steel needles to provide better grip for these military boots.

In this way, he walked deep and shallowly in the snow, and walked towards the Cossacks military base with the large team. The wind became stronger, and snow flakes like feathers fell from the sky in the wind. The sky and the earth are vast, so you can see that there is a white sway everywhere, there is no other color except white.

This can be regarded as a romantic weather in the old age, but it is a deadly environment in the new age. If an ordinary person is exposed to radiation snow for 10 minutes, organs and skin will begin to die. After 15 minutes, the immunity will be reduced to 0. After 20 minutes, the basic person is not saved. Strong radiation triggers a complete genetic collapse, and the whole person will become a pool of blood.

Like Zero and the others, the night gods tactical suits were dropped to almost cover the whole body, and they had to wear full-cover helmets to ensure that their bodies were not exposed to the threat of radiant snow.

After half an hour, the team came to the edge of the military base along the broken road. Zero can already see the high-voltage power grid that surrounds the entire base, as well as the surveillance towers arranged behind the power grid. However, the desolation of the base left the power grid with only a layer of ordinary barbed wire, on which there is no high-voltage current that can instantly scorch people. As for the sentry towers, most of them were in dilapidated condition, with large cracks extending from the base of the tower to the monitoring window, and a large area of ​​the tower top collapsed, leaving only one horrible place.

And further away, there are other buildings in the military base. These low-rise buildings, which occupy a very large area, are now not as glorious as they used to be. Thick snow buried them, and only a small part of the building walls were exposed in the wind and snow.

A warning sign that reads "Strong Military Site, No Entry" was hung on the barbed wire fence at the entrance, and it was being blown right away by the wind.

The team filed into the entrance, and according to the instructions of the electronic map, walked towards the building of the military command center in the base. There, there is an entrance to a huge underground base. The entrance has a main elevator, but this machine that needs high-power electrical support is obviously no longer running. But it doesn't matter, the map shows that there is a safe passage for base personnel near the entrance.

The safety passage adopts a z-shaped ladder with no electric drive and a reinforced concrete structure, so that the base personnel can freely enter the inside and outside of the base when there is no reliable electricity.

Going down from the safe passage is the underground base on the first floor. This is the tactical armor layer, which is composed of layers of tactical armor plates with a thickness of 50 cm, and its defensive power is sufficient to resist the attack of the nuclear bomb. It is a pity that this layer of defense did not stand the test before the sudden arrival of the day of cataclysm, causing the world to undergo earth-shaking changes.

Nowadays, the tactical armor layer has lost its previous meaning, instead it is isolated from the outside radiation and cold, providing an environment for the alien creatures living in the underground base to survive and multiply.

The team entered from the entrance of the base, and they found the military command post along the main lane and signs. A three-story building with a hexagonal design covering an area of ​​nearly 10,000 square meters. Entering from the main entrance of the building is an empty hall. The area of ​​the lobby is large, just like the waiting hall of an airport, with numerous signs indicating the different functions of the lobby.

Zero they walked into the hall quietly, a mess here. At the entrance, several corpses were seen lying on the ground. They make the posture of crawling in and out, but the picture is always fixed at a certain moment in decades. The flesh and blood of the corpse had dried up, but it had not completely melted, but turned into a dry corpse. It is conceivable that after the day of the cataclysm, the global temperature continued to drop. Especially in the northwest, far away from the frozen plateau, the temperature is extremely cold.

At that time, not all people in the base died on the day of the cataclysm. The tactical armor layer of the underground base was able to withstand most natural disasters. The staff hiding in the underground base survived the first few months, they left the underground base, but did not expect that the temperature outside the base has become extremely low. And judging from the scale of the base, there is naturally a considerable amount of food reserves.

But in the first few months, it must have been exhausted. At this time, they left the underground base, and without food, they eventually starved to death or froze to death.

Zero pieced together the closest guess to the facts almost instantly, and as they got deeper into the hall of the command post, they saw more and more dead bodies. Finally, in the middle of the hall, I am afraid that hundreds of corpses will be gathered here. Some of the corpses hugged each other, and some hugged themselves, but without exception, they were full of fear before they died.

These poor people have already left the world first, but the living people watch the world become cruel and dangerous day by day. In contrast, alive and dead, but I don’t know who is more fortunate.

This is obviously an unanswerable question, at least these people can't answer it right now. So they chose to pass the corpses of these victims silently. In front of them, there was a more cruel reality to face, and now they had no time to stay and pray for these people.

But when most of them passed by these corpses, Feng stopped.

"What's wrong?"

Realizing his stay, Zero walked back and asked.

Feng pointed to a corpse and said, "Look at this."

This is the body of a woman, probably a civilian during his lifetime. The face of the already skinny corpse was also wearing flat glasses. Zero's gaze stretched from the corpse's face to the chest, and then settled. He knelt down and flicked the uniform on the corpse with his fingers. The uniform has only become fragile in the cold weather for many years. The fabric fibers of the clothes have long been frozen and brittle. As soon as the zero fingers touched the clothes, the touched areas immediately became ashes.

Under the uniform is a woman's body. On the dry chest, even after so many years, a flat wound clearly appeared.

"It's him." Ling raised his head and said while looking at Feng.

Feng nodded, and then pressed his hand on the woman's trouser tube, which also turned to ashes, and appeared on the corpse. A huge vacancy appeared in the area of ​​her little toes. Judging from the thread-like wounds on the remnants of the muscles, it looked like something had been bitten.

"Do people eat people?" Ling frowned.

Feng sighed: "This is not impossible. Obviously this woman was killed by someone and then swallowed part of her muscles. In that kind of lack of food, even a gentle person would become a beast. But it's still Not the biggest problem."

When he said this, Su and Ma Pei also broke away from the big team and walked back.

Feng looked at Zero and said, "The bigger problem is that the living corpses in the underground base materials are probably not foreign objects. It is the transformation of these base personnel."

"So what, what's the difference between the living corpse from outside and the living corpse in the base?" Suddenly asked.

Zero finally grasped Feng's meaning, he stood up, stretched out his hand to take off his helmet, and took off the blindfold of Jin's right eye. He said solemnly: "There is a difference. Most of the living corpses retain their instincts during their lifetime. Therefore, if the living corpses in the base are just ordinary office workers. If the soldiers change, then we have to face it, I am afraid A monster with a machine gun."

Su said in a speech: "You said that the living corpse can use weapons? Isn't that exaggeration?"

"It's hard to tell, in this **** world, even if the corpse wolf can use weapons, I won't be surprised." Feng also stood up, pointing to his head and said: "It is not uncommon for a living corpse to use weapons. The mutant butchers will make their own weapons. Although they are very crude, they are a manifestation of instinct and wisdom. In short, we have to be careful."

Looking at the corpse at his feet, Ling suddenly felt that this mission might not be so easy.

When they found the safe passage of the underground base and reached the basement level through the spiral staircase, the other two teams had long been missing. Zero put on the helmet again and turned on the night vision mode of the helmet. Immediately, the dark aisle appeared in the eyes. On both sides of the aisle is a piece of wall with mottled marks, and the rusty pipe extends along the wall and I don’t know where to extend.

The front was pitch black, like a **** without light. The three team members behind Ling Chao nodded, and the four of them walked to the entrance of the second underground floor with full guard.

Shortly after Zero and the others left, Bridge retracted his head from the wall at the corner of the passage. He turned and walked forward, and came to a small room nearly 100 meters away. Bridge knocked on the door. The door opened, and inside the door was the operation platform on the basement floor, but this operation room is now unable to operate, but it serves as a temporary resting place for the Vanguard squad.

"How is the situation?" Anthony, who was sitting in the corner resting, opened his eyes after hearing the movement. What caught the eye was Bridge's thin figure, and the thoughtful captain asked.

"Head, they are all down." Bridge laughed.

Anthony nodded and said: "This underground base occupies a very large area and is occupied by many monsters. Whether it is zero or that idiot Rankine, it is not easy to get the mission items. A conservative estimate, It will take them at least five days to return. At that time, we will greet them well at this entrance."

"It's better to be heady, if I can't think of a good way to save energy." The big guy Oram pointed to his head and said.

Anthony smiled, saying that a guy with well-developed limbs and muscled head like yours knows what tricks are. He looked at Bridge again and said: "Although it takes at least five days for them to come back, just in case, from this moment on, we have to arrange personnel to monitor the station in the direction of the exit for 24 hours. Bridge, just Start with you, every 12 hours. No problem, right?"

"Wrap around me, head. Keep a fly and don't even want to fly out!" Bridget patted his chest confidently, and Bridge left the operating room.

After closing the door, the world outside was pitch black and full of depression. Bridge cursed in a low voice, then walked to the corner and found a hidden place to sit down. Thinking that 12 hours is not too short, Bridge simply closed his eyes and slumbered. But Bridge didn't know that there were not only a few living creatures in the vanguard on the first floor of the dark underground base.

There are other things that are approaching quietly.
