Chapter 941 Anchorage
"He's right...if we fail, more people will die...even...the history of the human species will end here..." Qi Lin sighed and took over the conversation.
"Gudong." George couldn't help swallowing a big mouthful of saliva, "If we fail...humanity...all human beings...will they really go extinct? Just like in those disaster movies?"
"Yeah... When I watched those movies before, I always felt that the end of the world was so far away... Until now, the burden of saving the world falls on my shoulders, and it still feels unreal." Qi Lin He shook his head slightly.
"Don't worry buddy, according to the plots in those disaster movies, since the task of saving the world is entrusted to you, you will definitely have the halo of the protagonist." George suddenly pulled out a somewhat wretched smile.
"Let me borrow your good words..."
The protagonist...is he the protagonist? ...Even...not all stories have happy endings. The real world is not a commercial film, and no one knows whether it will be a happy ending or a bad ending...
……
……
the next day.
It seems that there is really a "protagonist halo" at work in the dark. Not only did Qi Lin and the others not encounter a blizzard, they didn't even hit the polar mutant creatures, so they easily crossed the Alaska Mountains like a moat, and waited until the sky became dark again When they came down, the outline of the ruins of Anchorage had already appeared on the horizon at the end of the field of vision.
"It's so completely destroyed... I can hardly find a complete building..." George held the binoculars in his hand and couldn't help sighing.
"Of course...Although Anchorage was not bombed by a hydrogen bomb, the aerial bombs dropped on the city were enough to completely wipe it off the map..." Harveys said.
"Why is there no shelter built underground in Anchorage? I'm curious about that." Qi Lin turned his head and asked Harveys. As the largest city in Alaska, it is within [-] kilometers of Anchorage There is no underground refuge within, which is not only puzzling, after all, at the moment of war outbreak, it is impossible to have time to carry out long-distance transfer, even if there is no refuge directly under the big city, Then there should be some temporary shelters or underground passages built in the suburban areas... But there are none of these in Anchorage.
"In the early days of the war, Anchorage was indeed the base camp of the American army in Alaska, and the Anchorage guard battle commanded by General Constantine also took place here... However, in the later stages of the war, most of the troops stationed in Alaska were destroyed. Transferred to Fort Yukon, most of the underground shelters were built near Fort Yukon, while Anchorage became a shelter for civilians... At the same time, it also became a false target to attract enemy bombing ’” Harveys said.
"Using civilians as bait... They are really crazy... I remember that the United States claims to be the most democratic country in the world. This kind of human rights abuse..." Qi Lin's mouth twitched slightly. The inside story of the war he knew was far less than that of Harveys, who was a senior military officer at the time.
"At that time, these things were not made public, and people thought it was just a tragedy that happened due to intelligence errors...Of course, after the era of refuge began, organizations and consortiums made public in order to take power away from politicians A lot of confidential information like this, and these things became the last straw that broke the camel's back... At the same time, it also sent those consortiums to the pinnacle of human social power in the new era." Hawes continued.
"But now they have become our enemies... I'm curious, if I win in the end and shut down the mastermind, then by then... who will be the ruler?"
"Who knows... But chaos is inevitable. By the way, do you want to be emperor?"
"Emperor?" Qi Lin froze for a moment.
"Occupy the mountain as king, establish the order of the new era, and become the ruler of the new era...don't you want to?"
"To be honest, I'm not interested. I've never thought about such a thing." Qi Lin shook his head.
"Don't talk too much, people change."
"Maybe. Well, it's time for us to separate temporarily. The radiation zone is ahead. You wait for me here, and I will come back as soon as possible." Qi Lin took a few steps forward, turned and said to Harveys and the others.
"Okay, but if you don't come back within 48 hours, we'll find another way out."
"Yeah." Qi Lin nodded, and walked towards the ruins of Anchorage with the prepared equipment...
……
……
On the periphery of the city of Anchorage is a circle of bunkers with a depth of five kilometers. Of course, the continuous bunkers have now become ruins, and the gray concrete is covered with a thick layer of snow. The thick steel bars criss-crossed like dead branches, extending crookedly from the ground to the sky.
Qi Lin walked carefully among the ruins of the bunker, but just as he turned over a fallen anti-aircraft turret, a very slight and dull sound of metal friction suddenly entered his ears not far away , Across the thick snow and fortifications, the sound was easily ignored by others, but with Qi Lin's perception ability, he locked the direction of the sound in an instant.
"Is there something in the bunker down there?"
Qi Lin immediately raised his vigilance, took off the engineering shovel, and began to dig up the thick snow under his feet.
In less than 10 minutes, a small path just enough for one person to pass appeared at Qi Lin's feet, and at the end of the path, a rusty iron gate of the bunker was dug out by Qi Lin.
The sound of metal rubbing came from behind the door.
The door lock had been corroded to be very fragile, and Qi Lin broke the deadbolt with a light tug. Holding the gun in one hand, he gently pushed open the iron door with the other.
A faint smell of corpses came out from the crack of the door, and through the crack of the door, Qi Lin saw a power armor that was also rusted badly in the center of the first floor of the bunker. It came from the power armor.
"...Is it a zombie?"
Qi Lin pushed the door completely open, stepped over several fallen corpses on the ground, walked to the front of the power armor, and tapped the helmet of the power armor lightly with the grip of the pistol——
"Bang bang bang!"
Immediately there was a knocking sound from inside the power armor as a response. Obviously, something should be trapped in the power armor that has lost its energy.
Qi Lin took out a saber and pried off the visor of the helmet, and the face of a living dead suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. When he saw a living person, the living dead trapped in the power armor suddenly shook violently. Struggling up, he opened his mouth to reveal his incomplete teeth, and made a "ho ho" sound from the back of his throat.
Glancing at the cloudy yellow-white eyes of the living dead, Qi Lin shook his head in disappointment. This is an unconscious zombie, not a zombie that can communicate.
Putting the pistol on the zombie's forehead, Qi Lin pulled the trigger, ending its struggle.
The model of this power armor is T-11, or T-13. In short, it is a very early model. At that time, power armor had not even been deployed in the army on a large scale, and this very early power armor had nothing to do with it. The anti-radiation function will cause the person wearing it to be mutated into a zombie by radiation.
The Alaska theater is one of the first theaters in the United States to invest in power armor in actual combat. It is not surprising that this kind of antique will appear here.
After wandering around inside the bunker, Qi Lin didn’t find anything valuable. The electronic equipment in the bunker has basically been scrapped, and there is no important information in the officer’s combat records. As Harveys said, in At that time, the Anchorage bombing incident was completely regarded as a tragedy caused by intelligence errors.
As for the troops stationed here, as part of the bait, it is naturally impossible for them to obtain real information.
Glancing at the corpse of the officer in the lieutenant's uniform, Qi Lin threw the yellowed combat notebook beside it and walked out of the bunker.
Anchorage was bombed almost ten hours earlier than Fort Yukon, and the deaths of millions of people bought enough time for the garrisons in Fort Yukon and other areas to successfully attack the next round. Before the arrival of the nuclear attack, they were transferred to an underground shelter... At that time, the politicians of the United States still wanted to preserve their military power as much as possible, and prepare for the war that would inevitably break out after returning to the surface. Unexpectedly, all of this not only ruined their future, but also made wedding dresses for others with their preserved strength.
And those big consortiums are the ones that benefit the most...Of course, these forces are now included in the organization...under the banner of the mastermind.
Passing through the bunkers and crossing a highway around the city that was also buried by heavy snow, Qi Lin finally entered the urban area of Anchorage.
Before the war broke out, Anchorage's resident population was about 30 to 40. However, due to the influx of war refugees, this number expanded to 100 million. In the urban area, those refugees can be seen everywhere Temporary shelters for shelter, especially in Anchorage's downtown squares and parks, have been occupied by a large number of simple shacks.
"The coordinates of the safe stronghold given by the mastermind should be in this area...but where is it?"
Qi Lin looked around, but the clues provided by the mastermind had been cut off here. As for where the safe stronghold was, Qi Lin himself had no idea.
Is it necessary to search the ruins in this area inch by inch... In that case, with Qi Lin's efficiency alone, I am afraid that it will be useless in ten days and a half months.
"I just lost contact at this critical moment..."
Qi Lin felt a little bored, and kicked up a pile of snow on the ground. The white snow flakes flew far away, while the light gray concrete road surface was immediately revealed.
"Um?!"
Seeing the exposed concrete road under his feet, Qi Lin held his breath—the snow in this place seems to be much shallower than other places!
This means that the snow here should have been cleared not long ago... And in the ruins of this city where there are no living people, who will come to clear the snow?
This is the clue left by the mastermind!
Qi Lin immediately waved his engineering shovel, centered on the position where he was standing, and shoveled away the surrounding snow.
The snow in the northwest direction is the shallowest, and the further you go in that direction, the shallower the snow will be!
Qi Lin raised his head and looked towards the northwest, and saw a tall building not far from the northwest. Although the building was bombed and collapsed by nearly one-third, the rest of the building still looked It is very magnificent, with more than a dozen marble columns as thick as three or four people hugging each other standing on the steps. Looking from a distance under the condition of white snow, it looks like the ruins of a temple of a lost civilization.
"...Federal Reserve Bank building? Could it be that the security stronghold is here?"
With a hint of curiosity, Qi Lin walked up to the bank building.
Before this bank building was supposed to be the key defense target of the American army in the old days, the steps were covered with barbed wire and barricades, and there were many sandbags piled up at the gate... and near the steps, Qi Lin casually swept away There is a little snow, and there are a lot of human bones underneath.
Presumably when Anchorage was bombed, the bank building, which was strong and protected by the army, was naturally regarded as a good refuge by the panicked civilians. Many people flocked here, and many who could not squeeze in Those who entered the bank were blown to death outside.
Pushing open the dilapidated door, Qi Lin walked into the lobby of the bank—as he expected, the hall was covered with a layer of corpses of refugees. Although these people were not killed by bombs, they were dead. In the radiation pollution caused by the dirty bombs that were subsequently dropped here.
"Sure enough, this place has been cleaned up..."
Although the corpses in this place have not been removed, there are at least thousands of people who died here in a huge bank hall, but Qi Lin did not see any living dead, not even their corpses. , this is impossible with a normal radiation mutation rate.
Even a small motorcycle club and a thug stronghold with no more than a dozen people will have mutants. These thousands of people have been killed by radiation, so how can there be no living dead?
Except for the traces left by the bomb shrapnel, the gate of the bank has not been damaged by man-made violence, so the possibility of the mutated living dead leaving here is also ruled out, and in the absence of external stimuli, zombies rarely By actively choosing to leave the closed space, they will enter a state similar to dormancy...
But here... nothing!
