Chapter 959: Anchorage

A genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! "He is right... If we fail, more people will die... even... of the human species History will end here..." Qi Lin sighed and took over the conversation.
"Gudong." George couldn't help but swallowed a big mouthful of water. "If we fail...humanity...all mankind...is it really going to be 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 has fallen on my shoulders, and I still feel a little 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 protagonist's halo added." George suddenly pulled out a somewhat wretched smile.
"Let's borrow your good words..."
The protagonist... is he the protagonist? ……Even if it is...not all the endings of the story can be happy, the real world is not a commercial film, no one knows whether it is HappyEnding or BadEnding in the end...
...
...
the next day.
It seems that there is really a "protagonist halo" at work. Not only did Qi Lin and the others not encounter a blizzard, they did not even hit the polar mutants, so they easily climbed over the Alaska mountains that looked like a moat, and waited until the sky became dim again. When it came down, the outline of the ruins of Anchorage had appeared on the horizon at the end of the field of vision.
"It's really ruined...I can hardly find a complete building..." George could not help but sigh with the telescope in his hand.
"Of course...Although Anchorage was not bombed by hydrogen bombs, the aerial bombs dropped on the city were enough to completely wipe it off the map..." Harves said.
"Why is there no shelter built in the underground of Anchorage? I'm very curious." Qi Lin turned his head and asked Harves, as the largest city in Alaska, two hundred kilometers away from Anchorage There is no underground refuge in it, which is not only confusing. After all, it is impossible to have time for long-distance transfer at the moment of the outbreak of the war, even if no refuge is built directly under the big city. Then there should be some temporary refuges or underground passages built in the suburbs...but these are not in Anchorage.
"In the early days of the war, Anchorage was indeed the base camp of the U.S. Army in Alaska, and the Anchorage guard battle commanded by General Constantine also took place here... However, by the end of the war, most of the military forces stationed in Alaska were Moved to Fort Yukon, most of the underground refuge groups were built near Fort Yukon, while Anchorage was turned into a shelter for civilians...At the same time, it became a false target to attract enemy bombing. "Harves said.
"Use civilians as bait... They are really crazy... I remember that the United States claims to be the world's most potent country, this kind of trampling on human rights..." The corners of Qi Lin's mouth twitched slightly, for this has passed. The inside story of the war that he knew was far less than that of Harves, who was a senior officer at the time.
"At that time, these things were not made public. People thought that it was just a tragedy caused by intelligence errors...Of course, after the beginning of the era of refuge, organizations and consortia made public announcements to take power away from politicians. A lot of confidential information such as this has been collected, and these things have become the last straw to crush the camel...At the same time, they have also sent those consortia to the peak of human social power in the new era." Harves continued.
"But now they have become our enemies...I'm curious, if I finally win and shut down the mastermind, then...who will the ruler be?"
"Who knows...but chaos is definitely inevitable. In other words, do you want to be emperor?"
"The emperor?" Qi Lin was taken aback.
"Occupy the mountain as the 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 never thought about this kind of thing." Qi Lin shook his head.
"Don't talk too much, people will change."
"Perhaps. Well, we should separate temporarily. The radiation zone is in front of you. You wait for me here, and I will come back as soon as possible." Qi Lin took a few steps forward and turned to Harves and the others.
"Good, but if you don't come back within 48 hours, we will find another way out."
"Yeah." Qi Lin nodded, and walked towards the ruins of Anchorage with the prepared equipment...
...
...
Anchorage city is surrounded by a circle of bunker groups with a depth of five kilometers. Of course, this continuous bunker group has also become ruins, and the gray concrete is covered with a thick layer of snow. The thick steel bars criss-cross like dead branches, extending crookedly from the ground to the sky.
Qi Lin cautiously walked through the ruins of the bunker, but when he overturned a fallen anti-aircraft turret, a very slight and dull metal rubbing sound suddenly spread into his ears not far away. , Across the thick snow and fortifications, this sound is easily ignored by people. With Qi Lin's perception ability, it instantly locked the direction of the sound.
"Is there something in the bunker below?"
Qi Lin immediately increased his vigilance, took off the engineer shovel, and began to dig the thick snow under his feet.
In less than ten minutes, a path that could just accommodate one person appeared at Qi Lin's feet, and at the end of the path, a rusty iron gate of a bunker was dug out by Qi Lin.
The sound of metal rubbing came from behind the door.
The door lock had been rusted and fragile. Qi Lin pulled the bolt off with a slight pull. He held the gun in one hand, and gently opened the iron door with the other.
A faint smell of corpse even came from the crack of the door, and through the crack of the door, Qi Lin saw an equally rusty power armor sticking to 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 the fallen corpses on the ground, walked in front of the power armor, and tapped the power armor helmet with the pistol grip—
"Kang-bang-bang!"
There was a knocking sound in the power armor in response. It was clear that something was trapped in the power armor that had lost energy.
Qi Lin took out a saber and pried open the visor of the helmet. A face of the living dead appeared in front of him, seeing the living, the living dead trapped in the power armor. After struggling, he opened his mouth to reveal the incomplete teeth, and made a "hoho" sound deep in her throat.
Taking a look at the yellow and white muddy 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 against the zombie's forehead, Qi Lin pulled the trigger to end 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, the power armor did not even have a large-scale army, and this very early power armor was nothing. The function of anti-radiation 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 put power armor in actual combat. It is not surprising that this kind of old antique will appear here.
After walking around in the bunker, Qi Lin did not find anything of value. The electronic equipment in the bunker has basically been scrapped, and there is no important information in the officer’s combat records. As Harvey said, At that time, the Anchorage bombing was completely regarded as a tragedy caused by intelligence errors.
And the troops stationed here, as part of the decoy themselves, naturally it is impossible for them to obtain true intelligence.
Taking a look at the corpse of the officer in the uniform of the lieutenant, 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. The deaths of millions of people bought enough time for the garrisons in Fort Yukon and other areas to succeed in the next round. Before the arrival of the nuclear attack, they were transferred to underground shelters... At that time, the American politicians were thinking about preserving their military strength as much as possible and preparing for the war that would inevitably break out after returning to the surface. Unexpectedly, all this not only ruined their future, but even the preserved power made wedding dresses for others.
And those big consortiums are the ones that have made the most profits...Of course, these forces have now been incorporated into the organization...under the banner of the mastermind.
Passing through the bunker group and crossing a ring highway that was also buried by heavy snow, Qi Lin finally entered the downtown area of ​​Anchorage.
Before the war broke out, the permanent population of Anchorage was about 300,000 to 400,000, but later due to the influx of war refugees, this number expanded to one million. In the city, you can see those refugees everywhere. The temporary shelters used by them, especially in the central squares and parks of Anchorage, have been occupied by a large number of simple shacks.
"The safe base coordinates given by the main brain should be in this area... but where are they?"
Qi Lin looked around, but the clues provided by the main brain had been cut off here. As for the location of the safe base, Qi Lin himself didn't know anything.
Do you want to search the ruins of this area inch by inch... In that case, with Qi Lin's efficiency alone, I'm afraid that every ten days and a half will be completely useless.
"It just happened to lose contact at this critical moment..."
Qi Lin felt a little bored. He lifted his foot and kicked a pile of snow on the ground. The white snow flew far away, while the light gray concrete pavement was immediately revealed.
"Ok?!"
Seeing the concrete pavement exposed under his feet, Qi Lin immediately held his breath-the snow in this place seemed to be much shallower than other places!
This means that the snow here should have been cleared not long ago... And among the ruins of this city with no living people, who will clear the snow?
This is the clue left by the mastermind!
Qi Lin immediately waved the engineer's shovel, centering on the position where he was standing, shoveling away the surrounding snow.
The snow in the northwest is the shallowest, and the more you go in that direction, the shallower the snow!
Qi Lin raised his head and looked towards the northwest, and saw a tall building not far from the northwest. Although the building was destroyed by nearly one third, the rest still appeared It is very magnificent, with a dozen thick marble columns of three or four people standing on the steps, looking from a distance with Bai Xue added, it is like the remains of a temple of a lost civilization.
"...Federal Reserve Bank building? Is the safe base here?"
With a hint of curiosity~EbookFREE.me~ Qi Lin walked up to the bank building.
Before this bank building was supposed to be the key defensive target of the American army in old times, the steps were covered with barbed wire and barricades, and there were a lot of sandbags piled up at the gate... And near the steps, Qi Lin casually swept away A bit of snow is covered with a large number of human bones.
Presumably when Anchorage was bombed, the bank building, which was strong and protected by the army, was naturally used as a good refuge by panicked civilians. Many people flocked here, but many failed to squeeze. Those who entered the bank were blown up alive outside.
Pushing open the dilapidated door, Qi Lin walked into the bank lobby-as he expected, the lobby was covered with the remains of refugees. Although these people were not killed by the bomb, 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 thousands of people who died here in a huge bank hall, but Qi Lin did not see any living dead, even their corpses. In terms of normal radiation variation rate, this is impossible.
Even a small motorcycle club and a mob stronghold with a size of less than a dozen people will have mutants. These thousands of people have been killed by radiation, so how can there not even a living dead appear?
Except for the traces left by bomb shrapnel, the gate of the bank has not been damaged by human violence, so the possibility of mutated living dead leaving here is also ruled out. In the absence of external stimulation, zombies rarely meet If they actively choose to leave the enclosed space, they will enter a state similar to dormancy...
But here... there is nothing!
