Chapter 230 Land of the Living Dead

Special military boots step on the ground full of radiation snow, use tightly designed military boots, and use the fifth generation of artificial leather. It is not only light, but also has the effect of keeping warm. The sole is thickened, and the bottom is covered with dense small steel needles to provide this pair of military boots with better grip.

In this way, he walked deep and shallowly in the snow and walked towards the Cossack military base with a large team. The wind became strong, and the wind was mixed with goose-like snowflakes falling from the sky. The world is vast. Looking at it like this, it is white everywhere. Except for white, there is no other color.

This is also a romantic weather in the old era, but a deadly environment in the new era. If ordinary people are exposed to radioactive snow for 10 minutes, the organs and skin will begin to die. After 15 minutes, immunity will drop to 0. 20 minutes later, the basic person will be hopeless. Strong radiation causes a comprehensive genetic collapse, and the whole person will turn into a pool of blood mud.

Like zero, the night god tactical suit almost covers the whole body, and they have to wear a full-cover helmet to ensure that their bodies are not exposed to the threat of radiation snow.

Half an hour later, the team followed the mutilated highway to the edge of the military base. Zero can already see the high-voltage power grid that surrounds the entire base and the surveillance tower behind the power grid. However, the abandonment of the base leaves only a layer of ordinary wire mesh left on the power grid, and there is no high-voltage current that can instantly scorching people. As for the sentry tower, most of them are dilapidated, with thick cracks extending from the base of the tower to the surveillance window, and a large area of the top of the tower collapsed, leaving only one remnant.

And further away are other buildings of the military base. These low but extensive buildings now do not have the glory of the past. Thick snow buried them, and only a small part of the building wall tables** are in the wind and snow.

A warning sign saying "Military heavy ground, no entry" is hanging on the barbed wire at the entrance, which is being blown by the wind.

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

The safe channel adopts a Z-shaped ladder with no electric drive and reinforced concrete structure, so that the personnel of the base can freely enter the inside and outside of the base without reliable electricity.

From the safe passage, it is the underground base on the first floor. This is a tactical armor layer, which is constructed by a tactical armor plate layer with a thickness of 50 cm. Its defense is enough to resist the attack of drilling nuclear bombs. Unfortunately, before this layer of defense was tested, the sudden arrival of the day of cataclysm caused earth-shaking changes in the world.

Nowadays, the tactical armor layer has lost its former significance. Instead, it isolates the radiation and cold from the outside world and provides an environment for aliens living in underground bases to survive and reproduce.

The team entered through the entrance of the base and followed the instructions of the main lane and road signs. They found the military command post. A three-storey building with a six-sided design covering an area of nearly 10,000 square meters. Entering through the main entrance of the building is an empty hall. The hall is large, just like the airport waiting hall, and many famous signs indicate different functions throughout the hall.

Zero quietly walked into the hall, which was a mess. At the entrance, several bodies were seen lying on the ground. They make a crawling posture, but the picture is always fixed at a moment in decades. The flesh and blood of the corpse has dried up, but it has not completely melted, but turned into a mummified corpse. It can be imagined that after the day of the cataclysm, the global temperature continues to decrease. Especially in this northwest, far away from the permafrost plateau, the temperature is extremely cold.

At that time, the people in the base did not necessarily die on the day of the catastrophe, and the tactical armor layer of the underground base could withstand most of the natural disasters. After surviving the first few months, the staff hiding in the underground base left the underground base, but did not expect that the temperature outside the base had become extremely low. Judging from the size 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 ended up starving or freezing to death without food.

Zero put together the conjecture closest to the truth almost in an instant, and as they went deeper into the hall of the command post, they saw more and more corpses. Finally, in the middle of the hall, I was afraid that hundreds of bodies would be gathered here. Some of the bodies hugged each other and some hugged themselves, but without exception, they were full of fear before they died.

These poor people have left the world first, while the living people have watched the world become cruel and dangerous day by day. In contrast, those who are alive and dead do not know who is luckier.

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

But when most of them passed through these bodies, Feng stopped.

"What's wrong?"

When he found his stay, Zero came back and asked.

Feng pointed to a corpse and said, "Look here."

This is the body of a woman, probably a civilian. The thin body is still wearing flat glasses on its face. Zero's eyes went from the face of the body to his chest, and then settled down. He squatted down and gently stroked the uniform on the body with his fingers. The uniform has become fragile in the cold weather for many years, and the fabric fibers of the clothes have long been frozen to crisp. As soon as the zero fingers touched the clothes, the place they touched immediately dispersed into dust.

Under the uniform is a woman's body. Although it has been so many years, a flat wound still appears clearly on the dry chest.

"He killed it." Zero raised his head and looked at Feng and said.

Maple nodded, and then pressed her hand on the woman's trousers. The trousers also turned to ashes and appeared on the body. There was a huge gap in her little belly. Judging from the silk-like wound on the remnants of the muscle, it seems to have been bitten by something.

"Do people eat people?" Zero frowned and said.

Feng sighed: "It's not impossible. Obviously, this woman was killed and swallowed part of her muscles. In that situation of lack of food, no matter how good the person is, he becomes a beast. But this is not the biggest problem."

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

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

"So what's the difference between the living corpses outside and the living corpses in the base?" I don't know what to ask.

Zero finally grasped Feng's meaning. He stood up, reached out to take off his helmet, and took off the blindfold of the golden right eye. He said in a low voice, "There is a difference. Most of the living bodies retain their instincts. Therefore, if the living body in the base is just an ordinary office worker, it will be fine. If the soldiers change, then we will probably face a monster with a machine gun.

Su was shocked and said, "Do you think living corpses will use weapons? Isn't it so exaggerated?"

"It's hard to say that in this damn world, I won't be surprised even if the corpse wolf can use weapons." Feng also stood up, pointed to his head and said, "It is not uncommon for living corpses to use weapons. The mutant butcher among them will make weapons by themselves. Although the weapon made is very simple, it is a manifestation of instinct and wisdom. Anyway, we have to be careful."

Looking at the body under his feet, he suddenly felt that this mission was not so easy.

When they found the safe passage of the underground base and reached the underground floor through the spiral staircase, the other two teams had long disappeared. Zero put on the helmet again and turned on the night vision mode of the helmet. At that moment, the dark aisle appeared in his eyes. On both sides of the walkway are mottled walls, and the rusty pipes extend along the wall to nowhere.

It is dark ahead, like a lightless hell. Zero nodded to the three team members behind him, and the four walked so alertly to the entrance of the passage on the second basement floor.

Shortly after they left, Bridge withdrew his head from the wall at the corner of the passage. He turned around and walked forward to a small room nearly 100 meters away, and Bridge knocked on the door. The door is opened, and there is an operating platform in the underground floor, but this operating room is no longer working, but it serves as a temporary resting place for the pioneer team.

"How's it going?" Anthony, sitting in the corner to rest, opened his eyes after hearing the noise. What was eye-catching was Bridge's thin figure, and the scheming captain asked.

"Head, they're all down." Bridge laughed.

Anthony nodded and said, "This underground base covers a very large area and is occupied by many monsters. Whether it's Zero or that stupid Langken, it's not easy to get the mission items. It is conservatively estimated that it will take them at least five days to return. At that time, we will greet them at this entrance.

"It's better to be smart. If so, I can't think of a good way to save energy." The big man Oram pointed to his head and said.

Anthony smiled and said to himself that a guy like you with developed limbs and even a muscular head knows what a trick is. He looked at Bridge again and said, "Although it will take at least five days for them to come back, just in case, we will arrange personnel to monitor the station 24 hours in the direction of the exit from this moment. Bridge, let's start with you, change every 12 hours. No problem, right?"

"Wrap it on me, head. Keep a fly and don't want to fly out!" Patting his chest confidently, Bridge left the operating room.

The door was closed, and the world outside the door was dark and full of depressing atmosphere. Bridge cursed in a low voice and went to the corner to find a hidden place to sit down. Thinking that 12 hours is not short, Bridge simply closed his eyes and pretended to take a good look. But Bridge did not know that there were not only a few living creatures in the dark underground base.

There are other things that are quietly approaching.
