Chapter 573: refuge

‘Deep digging holes and accumulating grain’ is not just the Chinese people who have done it. The US government and people also like it. It can even be said that it is more motivated and more capable.
In the 1950s and 1960s, the shadow of the Third World War allowed the US government to dig holes in the country to build shelters. Some large shelters can even accommodate thousands of people for a long time. However, most of these shelters were abandoned over time.
When the cataclysm happened, these unknown official sanctuaries did not immediately work because the government and the army suddenly disappeared. But over time, many Americans have found these Feng Shui treasures and lived in them.
Baltimore is located in the Washington Capital Circle, an important industrial and port city on the east coast of the United States. There is a large underground shelter in Granite, just outside the city.
Three months before the nuclear bomb washes the ground, people living in the shelter sought every means to improve living conditions. These efforts have not been wasted, and most of the people in the shelter have survived.
but…….
"The people in the sanctuary are very exclusive. They are afraid that others will take their place and resources, so they refuse anyone to join. When I fled from Baltimore, I followed my companions to pray for them, but they drove us directly with guns. No mercy. I don't think they will change much now.
If you want to enter Baltimore, it is best to have a safe foothold in the suburbs. At present, transportation is inconvenient. Niumakit is forty kilometers from Baltimore. It is too far. Granite is only one or two kilometers from the periphery of the city circle, which is much more convenient.
I mean, maybe you have the ability to talk to the people in the shelter. After all, field operations also require a stable resting place. "
Niya pursed her lips and took a half step back. Zhou Qingfeng's eyes fell on the inconspicuous place name on the map. In fact, Granite is not even a village, but if there is a fully functioning shelter, the situation will be greatly different.
"How many people are taking refuge?"
"do not know."
"What about equipment?"
"Unclear."
"Where is it?"
"The entrance to the sanctuary is in Granite's Baptist Church. That church is a granite stone building, tall and sturdy, and anyone who comes near will be found by the sentry on the church."
A solid church, a large sanctuary, and a base that can be attacked and retreated are indeed stronger than a thin base. Zhou Qingfeng couldn't help but hesitated. After turning to discuss with Katrina and others, he decided to go to this shelter.
Without further ado, the decision was taken immediately. Zhou Qingfeng left 20 elite soldiers tied to the housekeeping, and used the vehicles of the stronghold to pull in more than 100 soldiers and residents in the stronghold as cannon fodder and cannon fodder. With more than 30 people left, they started with assault guns and armored vehicles. Already.
The force search fleet is not small, with more than 20 vehicles. A thick-tube BTR-60 was headed, and the lightly armored 'Panhard' was alert on both wings, the wheels were rolling, and the stronghold was out of the stronghold.
Just because of the wild vegetation in Maryland, and even after the nuclear winter, there are a lot of dead trees blocking the convoy. The convoy can only rely on maps and drones to find some paths to move forward. This forty-kilometer road ran cautiously for six or seven hours, leaving in the morning and arriving in the afternoon.
Just two kilometers away from the sanctuary, anti-infantry and anti-tank mines were buried on the road before the "dog meat" sent out for investigation. There were traps and defensive positions behind the mines. It is a shame to take the risk of running away.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh when it comes, this the the place of the sanctuary is unusual!
"I actually saw the artillery. This refuge can survive on the edge of the city. It is a difficult hard bone." Zhou Qingfeng ordered the team to spread out the alert. He and the butcher ran up to conduct investigations. It was found that two There are actually three layers of light and heavy fire nets within a kilometer radius.
"There should be retired soldiers in this refuge to take charge of the command, and their defense system is very formal. Attacks like us last night could not shake them at all." The butcher also felt a little headache.
This kind of self-sufficiency, unwillingness to deal with the outside world, and total refusal to communicate is the most difficult to deal with. Unless they can be crushed like a walnut, they will stubbornly resist in order to keep their family business.
The arrival of Zhou Qingfeng's convoy actually alarmed the perimeter whistle of the shelter. Someone soon panicked to report to the commander of the shelter, "Elder Joseph, Elder Joseph, an armed convoy appeared outside our position."
Granite's asylum site looks like only a solid church, but it has five floors underground, each covering an area of ​​tens of acres. This is a small underground city with independent electricity generation and water supply and other living facilities.
When hearing the sentinel report, Elder Joseph was resting and had to get up from the bed and go to the monitoring room to see the situation. The elder was a tall white man with a gray beard and looked majestic.
"Armed convoy? Would the Brotherhood of Steel want to suffer again?" Elder Joseph stared at the screen, and a large number of cameras placed around the shelter transmitted the images back to the monitoring room. He squinted his eyes for a long time, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "They are just outside our circle of fire, and they are very well concealed. This is not an ordinary adventure group, it is more like an army."
When unidentified armed men approached, Elder Joseph had to come out of the refuge and climbed to the top of the church ~ EbookFREE.me ~ and looked at it with a telescope. As soon as he came out, he cursed loudly, "Damn, they're investigating us with a drone."
The entire area of ​​the evacuation area made great efforts to fire, except for a blank air defense, a six-axis miniature drone approached the church so danglingly.
"Take it down." Elder Joseph reached out and two young men behind him raised their rifles and started firing. It's just that the micro drone has been swaying, and the two rifles failed to shoot them down with photo bullets.
As the rifleman changed magazines, the miniature drone was approaching quickly. Several people on the steeple of the church thought it was an attack, and quickly evaded, but unexpectedly the drone that flew over came up with no explosives or something, but hung a walkie-talkie.
"Hey! Old man, I feel like you are a leader, maybe we should talk about it." The camera lens on the drone is swinging slightly, aiming at a few people hiding on the steeple of the church, and the intercom hanging on it comes out Zhou Qingfeng's voice.
Elder Joseph had originally squatted on a church steeple, and a pistol had been drawn in his hand. At first glance, the drone seemed to be no threat. He frowned and took off the intercom, and pressed the call button and said in a deep voice. Who is it? "
"We are just people passing by, and we want to stay in your shelter for a while and become a foothold." Zhou Qingfeng said, "We can pay or cooperate."
Elder Joseph suddenly sneered, "Do you think I'm a fool? Or when we are a hotel? You just want to come in and just want to stay casually? I've seen so many bad things like you.
Listen, boy. Put away your deceitful tricks and get away with me. I don't care who you are, dare to enter our territory and kill you! "(To be continued.)
