Chapter 121: Mysterious underground base

　　 According to the paint on these power armors, Qi Lin can know that these power armors belong to the private armies of several consortia.
At the end of the war, the resources of many countries were exhausted in fierce battles. At this time, most of the world's resources were held in the hands of the large consortiums that usually did not show up. .
Out of the eager desire for the distribution of benefits after the war, these large consortia formed their own private armies for various reasons, and participated in the political affairs in the form of mercenaries (for fear of being harmonious, sensitive words should be replaced by pinyin. Understand, this is basically the reason for all subsequent occurrences in the army.)
　　 As a price, Zhengfu is to open more permissions to these consortiums in exchange for the combat power and resources held by the consortium.
Many people think that war is a means to promote human progress and development. Although it is bloody, it is necessary... But when there are no longer enough resources on the earth for mankind to continue to squander, the two sides of the war, no matter the final Which side wins will only end in the end.
Not all people are blushing, but everyone is tied to their own chariots. Businessmen are chasing profits, politicians are chasing power, small people are trying to keep their jobs and family members, and big people are working for their foundation and wealth. ...
After this war is fought, a large number of small and medium-sized countries will perish almost every year and be annexed and divided by various interest groups. Among them, the countries that benefit the most are not those countries, but have been busy making war money. Of those giant consortia.
This is why, in the postwar era of refuges, most countries have basically disappeared. Except for the refuge central masters who were rigidly assigned the highest management authority, the major consortia have changed their lives and become one of the survivors. Has the highest authority in
It's just... these are after the end of the war. In the war years, the main force of the warring parties was still the regular army of the government. Since this 404 base is so secretive, it would cost so much to cross a tunnel. Hands and feet, how did these private consortiums appear here?
Qi Lin went to check the corpses that did not wear power armor, and found that these corpses were divided into two types-one was wearing the uniform of the private army of the consortium (the uniform of the private army is basically the same as the regular army, but the badge, Marks and the like are different) infantrymen, and there is another type, wearing a white combat uniform of a special material, with the word 404 on the armband of the combat uniform.
　　 "This is... the private army of the consortium is attacking this 404 base? Are both sides perished?"
　　 From the markings and uniforms, the private armies of the consortium are all employed by the China Republic in the old age, and on the airtight door of the 404 base, there is also the emblem of the Republic... Then so... is it infighting? Or is there a rebellion in one of the two?
Although the private armies of the consortium are doing things entirely for profit, as long as the employers have not completely died or are unable to pay commissions, these "businessmen" will still continue to fight in accordance with the spirit of the contract, and things such as turning to the employers — at least At that time, in the China Republic, one of the few remaining giants in the world, nothing happened.
　　 As for the details of the 404 base, Qi Lin doesn't know anything about it.
　　 "Hey, that AI, what happened here?" Qi Lin's voice echoed in the huge underground space, but the AI ​​system seemed to have disappeared again without making any sound.
　　 "AI? System? Is it there?"
　　……
"Is that AI only responsible for the area of ​​the metal tunnel?" Qi Lin was a little puzzled and retreated into the tunnel. However, at this time, he discovered that the lights in the tunnel had all been extinguished, and the system AI was also I can't call it anymore.
　　 "...Isn't the battery dead?"
　　 Qi Lin strongly kicked the metal wall, but there was nothing except the dull sound of the rubber boot hitting the metal.
　　 "Well, you won."
　　 Qi Lin gave up the idea of ​​continuing to search for that AI, and returned to the square full of corpses.
Since there are so many power armors, Qi Lin naturally plans to make a set to wear them. Although the performance of T-46 armor is not a little bit worse than Chilong VI, it is at least power armor. With its own firepower, a T-46 can easily deal with dozens of infantry without heavy weapons.
　　 However, Qi Lin searched for several power armors in a row, and found that these power armors had either been completely destroyed, or the core part had suffered an irreparable blow, and none of them were still usable.
And as Qi Lin checked the more power armors, the more doubts about this 404 base became. Except for the two strange armors at the beginning, most of the power armors were covered by various At least a small part of the strange method was destroyed by conventional guns.
If it is said that there are a large number of evolutionaries among the troops belonging to the 404 base, then such traces of destruction on the power armor are good explanations, but... the evolutionary is after the outbreak of a full-scale nuclear war, due to radiation, mutant serum, etc. The "new humans" only appeared because of these factors, and the battle at Base 404 obviously took place in the old age before the full-scale nuclear war. At that time, where did the evolve come from...
　　 "It always feels...this base is getting weirder..."
　　 Qi Lin gave up his plan to find a power armor, went straight across the square, randomly chose a small house on the edge of the square that looked nothing special from the outside, opened the door and walked in.
This should be an ordinary single-person residence, with a metal folding bed, sheets and bedding scattered on the ground messy, covered with dust, there are three skeletons in the house, two of which are in a state of scuffle together until death. On the wall opposite the bed ~EbookFREE.me~ there is also a 20-inch display screen.
　　 Qi Lin pressed the power button at the bottom of the display, but the display did not light up, probably because there was no electricity.
Qi Lin looked at the concise furnishings in the house again-this decoration style is very similar to the future human dwellings in old-time science fiction movies: the style is simple and clear, the functions required for daily life are highly concentrated, and at the same time, only a lot of The ground uses a lightweight material between plastic and ceramic.
　　 If you take this to the old days and use it as a studio for shooting sci-fi movies, it will probably be no problem.
Nothing of value was found in this house. Qi Lin habitually took a look at the environmental tests on the brain. The temperature, humidity, and oxygen content all tended to be normal, except for the red radiation dose. Qi Lin frowned slightly.
Although the structure of this underground base is basically the same as the actual refuge, and even more high-end and luxurious, the average radiation content in this 404 base is as high as 70 to 80, which is for normal people. That said, it can almost be regarded as a "dead place."
　　 But it also illustrates a problem. The radiation source is likely to come from inside the 404 base!
　　 No wonder the AI ​​would say that Qi Lin is currently the only living person in the 404 base. According to this radiation dose, even if there are survivors in the base, it is estimated that they will not live long.
"Could it be... this is a nuclear base?" Qi Lin thought of the "404 City" that was once regarded as a tourist destination by explorers in the old days. It was an abandoned nuclear city. All the living facilities in it were for support. The researchers who studied nuclear weapons and their families... Then, will the role of this 404 base be the same as that of the 404 city?
