Chapter 231: District 51
The gray tone is the theme of this desert.
The "51" area, which was mysterious before the end of the world, finally tore off the veil of mystery in front of the sea of clouds.
All around is a vast desert, and even the mountains are bare.
The "51" area, or the political and military center base of the United States today, is located on this desert.
Like Las Vegas, which is a new city, "Area 51" does not have a wall, and is building a large construction base, which is in full swing.
High-rise buildings are uprooted from the ground, tower cranes and other heavy machinery are everywhere, looking down from the air, the sea of clouds can clearly see that some buildings that are not tall are outside the guards.
"Look, the building in the southwest is the arsenal under construction, which produces the latest high-energy rifles with amazing power, and I heard that high-energy guns that can be carried by individual soldiers are also being developed."
"By the way, do you see the blue zenith building? There is the Institute of Genetics, and it is from there that the clones are born. Fortunately, with the help of clones, otherwise the base would not have become the size it is now in about two months. ”
"And the building, the one on the south side that is dismantling the tower crane, which is developing synthetic nutrients, and it is said that it is already a bit eyebrow-raising. I heard my father say that after the development is successful, you can use the flesh and bones of mutated creatures plus food and mutated plant materials to make a nutrient like toothpaste, which can meet the energy needs of an adult for a day in one tube. ”
"The building to the east is a dormitory area, where the soldiers, researchers, scientists, and their relatives live."
"To the south and west are the research areas. It is also a forbidden area, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter. ”
"To the north is the living quarters. There are supermarkets, bars, football stadiums and other entertainment venues, but the area is not large. ”
Jessica didn't have the slightest sense of secrecy. Stretched out his finger and pointed to the sea of clouds.
The plane did not rush to land, and the sound of the pilot's communication with the ground came from the front cabin, and Yun Hai listened to Jessica's introduction, and cautiously did not use his mental power to try to envelop the large area of base exploration.
"It's a long runway!"
Yun Yue exaggeratedly pointed to the airstrip at the edge of the base to the west.
On both sides of the long runway, there are many airplanes.
From huge airliners to combat aircraft, from helicopter gunships to sci-fi shuttles, there is a wide variety of aircraft.
There are hundreds of aircraft, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they have obviously been modified.
Are they all using new energy? The sea of clouds is not certain.
But as far as the eye can see, almost every plane is equipped with machine guns, high-energy guns, and various missiles are suspended, almost armed to the teeth.
"More than 7,000 meters, it used to be used to test all kinds of new air force aircraft, and now it happens to be used as an airport."
Maybe she didn't feel Yunyue's hostility or rejection, Jessica explained.
"It's all been exchanged and confirmed, do you still have to be so careful?"
Yunhai stretched out his hand and pointed out the window.
The airfield is full of forts, rapid-fire machine guns, anti-aircraft artillery, anti-aircraft missiles, and so on. Including heavy firearms that were clearly high-energy guns.
As the aircraft slowly landed vertically, several anti-aircraft firearms around it were firmly locked and did not relax for a moment.
"It's martial law now, and it's probably still a level of alert. Therefore, even aircraft that have been repeatedly confirmed must be closely monitored during approach and landing. This also includes the locking of fire. ”
"It's the same on the ground, when there's a vehicle coming into the base. All of them will be closely monitored and inspected at a periphery of tens of kilometers before they will be released. ”
Jessica finished. He added reassuringly, "After we go down and have a routine check-up, we'll be fine." ”
It was indeed a hint of threat, and Yun Hai had no doubt about the lethality of these firearms.
Not to mention the powerful high-energy cannons, just a few rapid-fire machine guns without dead ends, under their metal frenzy ruthlessly torn apart, the sea of clouds does not know how long he can last.
"Routine checks?"
Feeling a shock to his body, the aircraft had landed safely, and Yun Hai asked with a frown as he got up.
"That is, to check the identity of each entrant, including the things they carry, and sterilization, after all, there are many microorganisms in the last days that have also mutated, which is likely to cause new diseases, and if it is contagious, it will be an even more terrible disaster."
Affectionately took Yunhai's arm, Jessica and Yunhai walked in front and got off the plane first.
The air was dry and slightly muggy.
Walking along the airport into the building next to it, several guards were obviously familiar with Jessica, and a fat middle-aged aunt greeted her with a smile.
It can be said that the expression was a little surprised, and it can also be said that she was used to it, and the aunt glanced at the sea of clouds with an ambiguous look.
However, after the next interrogation, the aunt's attitude suddenly changed.
The tone is very polite and respectful, just an Air Force ground sergeant, and the middle-aged aunt is not qualified to provoke the patience of an "S-class superman".
As for Yunyue, she was completely regarded as Yunhai's family, in fact, after the latter said that she was his cousin, no one asked about it anymore.
The luggage is simpler, Yunhai only has one backpack, and when he consciously wants to unzip it, not to mention that the fat woman smiled and waved her hand and said no, Jessica even stuffed the backpack into his arms, pulled him and left.
This also saves Yunhai the trouble of explaining - the "Ark" is in the backpack, but it is hidden in a tin box disguised as a music box.
"I saw that the passage behind the curtain in front of me was not, it was gas consumption, I couldn't tell what it was, it didn't smell bad but it definitely didn't smell good, hold your breath and close your eyes, and it would be fine after passing through the conveyor belt in a few seconds."
Jessica said as she walked to the passage and smiled at the sea of clouds, and then stepped in first.
After two or three seconds, Yunhai opened the thick plastic curtain and walked in.
"Sneer......"
In the sound of the jet, Yun Hai, who was standing on the conveyor belt, saw that white air jets were sprayed on both sides of the wall and on his head, lukewarm, with a slight smell of disinfectant water, spraying strongly on his body.
Lowering his head and looking at his pocket, Yunhai was not worried at all.
In his pocket, in addition to the face-hugging insect that he didn't know how to catch up with the mutant sand scorpion and was still wandering in the desert, there were three face-hugging insects smaller than spiders, which were hiding inside.
There is no fear that this "disinfection airflow" will spray the alien to death, even the weakest form of the alien face-hugging worm.
Aliens that can adapt to almost any environment are definitely not something that can be killed by means of disinfection. (To be continued......)
