Chapter 13 Bomb Shelters
After passing through the gas station turmoil, the group drove in a car to the nearest bomb shelter.
The car is full of gasoline, and the trunk is full of food and drinking water, and Xiao Tian is a little weak after being frightened, W wants to drive for him, but he still insists on driving himself, Xiao Tian just thinks that if he can't share anything for everyone, then what's the difference between him and the waste man.
On the quiet street, there was no sound, no people, nothing, only a car speeding away, only the roar of the engine from the car, and after the car passed, there was silence again.
The little girl in the back seat was much more familiar with Dr. Katie, she was no longer so timid, on the contrary, Dr. Katie was becoming more and more reticent, she knew that her mental capacity was not strong, but as she saw the images of the car passing by, as if they were etched in her mind, there were ruins everywhere, and there was an eerie silence everywhere, and Dr. Katie became more and more afraid to see these scenes.
The little girl in the back seat is called Helen, who is of mixed Japanese and American descent, and because she is old enough to go to school, her parents originally planned to let Helen return to Japan and go to school in Japan, but what is happening is falling apart like a beautiful dream turned into a plate of loose sand.
As the sun slowly sets below the horizon, the crimson clouds condense a tragic atmosphere in the sky, and it is about to usher in the first night of their apocalyptic journey, tragic and destined to become the norm, and comfort and calm will gradually become luxuries over time.
The sun continued to set over the horizon, and the sky gradually darkened, but the group finally arrived at the nearest air raid shelter to them, and several people slowly got out of the car, and a kind of gloom mixed with terror hit everyone, the air raid shelter was never activated, and even the entrance gate was locked intact, but the gate was a little rusty, as if no one had been here for many years.
A cold wind blew, and as the darkness of the night fell, a dull wheezing sound could be faintly heard everywhere, which was the breathing of the monster, and at night, the monster began to move on a large scale.
After a lot of effort, W and Xiaotian finally opened the entrance of the air defense shelter, and the group hurriedly entered the air defense shelter, in the night, the dull breathing sound seemed to be getting closer and closer, when the group entered the air defense shelter, W locked the entrance and confirmed it several times, before walking forward with confidence.
This is an air defense shelter built in the early 90s, during a tense era when the United States and the Soviet Union were engaged in a frenzied nuclear deterrence and cold war, and Japan, as a military participant in the alliance with the United States, built many of these air defense shelters, but it was originally designed for a 40-year service life, so it is still functional.
Walking down the stairs for more than ten meters, a pungent musty smell came to his face, Xiao Tian held a flashlight and shone it around, he was sure that this was the entrance to the air defense shelter, so he looked around, and sure enough, he found an old-fashioned simple generator covered with dust.
Xiao Tian fiddled for a moment and then started the generator, and the whole area lit up, at this time they were standing on a disc, at the end of the disc was a simple elevator, since this air defense shelter was a product of the nineties, so it looked like the whole ladder was more like a large dog cage, but the simple elevators of that era were like this.
After exiting the elevator, a deep corridor was greeted by a simple light bulb on the top of the corridor, and the surrounding walls could be clearly seen, all of which were cement walls, and some of the support points even exposed rough reinforced concrete.
On both sides of the hallway, there were many rusty iron doors, and Dr. Katie casually pushed one open, and found that inside was an empty room, with nothing but the damp, pungent musty smell, and this kind of room, perhaps a refuge room for ** officials or civilians.
"The ventilation system and lighting system can still be used, and when the battery power is stored again, the main gate should be opened," Xiao Tian said as he followed behind W, listening carefully to the humming sound of the artificial gaps in the wall.
At the end of the hallway is a dusty iron gate with metal gears exposed around the door, presumably the heart of the shelter.
After a while, due to some electricity stored in the battery, the red light in the iron box at the gate turned into a green light, W gently pressed the green light button, and sure enough, the iron gate slowly opened.
When the iron gate is fully opened, the lighting system in the area brightens up the whole area, it is a huge hall, 200 square meters in size, in the middle of the hall there are many old computer equipment and some electronic devices, and the tables are covered with dust.
"It's supposed to be old equipment from the 90s, but it's better than I expected, and we can rest here today." Xiao Tian walked into the hall and looked around, focusing on the old equipment.
And W walked into the hall thoughtfully, she always felt that something was wrong, "Xiaotian, did you just sit there?" W raised his hand and pointed to a chair in the middle of the hall, the whole hall was covered with dust, whether it was the chair or the table, and the equipment on the table, but the chair was extremely clean and not stained with a trace of dust.
Looking at W's pointing, Xiao Tian looked along and saw the chair that was not stained with a trace of dust, and he also found that the electronic equipment in that position seemed to have been moved. "I'm just like you, just came in, that is, is there anyone else here? Or, it's not safe here! Xiao Tian suddenly became solemn, and he whispered to W.
