"The front is the first line of defense, and it is also the most important line of defense." Lian Chang Xia said, with a hint of emotion in his tone.

It was a gray fortress, and even from a distance, you could see its massive size. It bears no resemblance to the bunkers of World War II, a hemispherical beast of war, armed to the teeth.

A variety of weapons of different types and calibers fill every inch of the hemispherical building, and you can even see several magnificent cannons in it. The huge black hole was more than enough to rub even if it was stuffed into an adult man, which was daunting.

And at a glance, whether it is a horizontal column or a vertical column, such fortresses are one after another, until the end of the line of sight, which makes people feel shocked in their hearts.

As he slowly approached these fortresses, Luo Yuan couldn't help but feel emotions surging in his heart.

It is difficult for him to describe such emotions in words, there is an irrepressible excitement, and a kind of homesickness, he wants to take a look urgently, and there is a vague fear, he has been wandering around for too long, he has developed a slight sense of strangeness to human society, and has such a long experience of being unrestrained and reckless, can he adapt to putting heavy shackles on his body again? But all these slight emotions could not stop him from thinking about the past.

"In total, thousands of such fortresses were built, two-thirds of them were placed on the perimeter, its walls were about three meters thick, which could defend against almost any attack, and the ground, in addition to cement, was covered with a layer of steel plates half a meter thick, and each fortress, in addition to the operators, had a battalion of artillery units, which served as a mobile force."

At this time, dozens of kilometers away, a fortress suddenly burst into flames, and a long chain of fire stretched straight into the sky, like a long whip of a god, a mutant bird hovering in the sky, screamed, struggled and fell.

"Will the beast tide be able to break through such defenses?" Luo Yuan retracted his gaze and turned his head to ask.

Company Commander Xia was silent for a moment and said, "It can generally resist the beast tide below level five. ”

Without waiting for Luo Yuan to ask, Lian Commander Xia explained: "This is the vague division of the danger level of the beast tide in the reconstruction area, the scale of the first-level beast tide is about 10,000 or less, and the scale of the fifth-level beast tide is 1 million to 5 million. However, this division is not accurate, the density, impact, and individual size and strength of the beast tide have a huge impact, but for the reconstruction area, the most terrifying thing is not those mutant beasts or mutant birds, but the insect tide, which is not only extremely large in number, but also small in size, which is difficult to defend.

In the past, the reconstruction area has encountered a wave of insects, and the damage was very serious, and several outlying cities were reduced to rubble. ”

…………

"It's huge!"

I didn't feel anything when I looked at it from a distance, but as I walked to it, I felt its huge and heavy, it was nearly a dozen stories high, with an area of tens of thousands of square meters, as if a giant beast was lying in the desert, plus it was covered with weapons, giving people an oppressive atmosphere, making people feel worried!

Even Luo Yuan felt a little uncomfortable, these cannons made him feel very insecure.

At this moment, the huge iron gate of the fortress suddenly opened, and a fully enclosed jeep quickly drove over.

Luo Yuan hurriedly asked the monitor lizard and King Kong to stop, rolled over, and waited for the jeep to approach.

After a while, the car door opened, and two dark-skinned soldiers quickly walked out, trotting all the way over.

"This is Military Fort 151 in the defense zone, how many of you are survivors?" One of the officers, with the rank of lieutenant, said loudly, his eyes couldn't help but float up the giant beast.

"Hello Comrade Lieutenant, the four of us are soldiers of the 15th Brigade of the 19th Army, who lost contact due to a plane crash, I am Xia Qiang, the company commander of the 5th Company of the 3rd Regiment, and they are the survivors." Company Commander Xia saluted excitedly, and the other three soldiers also saluted at the same time.

When the lieutenant returned the salute, his face was obviously a little surprised: "It turned out to be a comrade who lost contact?" You're really lucky to survive, but the 19th Army is not here, I heard that it's going to the new oil field area to garrison, and I don't know the specific situation, you may have to report to the military-political department of the reconstruction area. ”

Lian Chang Xia nodded with a face, he was obviously mentally prepared for this kind of thing.

Then the lieutenant turned his attention to Luo Yuan and his party, with a hint of curiosity and scrutiny in his eyes. He had seen many survivors before, some in ragged clothes, numb in eyes, some with excited expressions and painful eyes, some unruly and vicious, but none of them were as special as this group of people.

Their clothes were surprisingly clean and neat, as if they had been newly replaced, there was no dirt between their fingernails, they were obviously cleaned frequently, their skin was fair, their faces were ruddy, they had obviously not experienced hunger, and they were well fed. And the emotion, except for a little excitement and joy, is very peaceful, which feels less like a survivor of the end times, but more like a person in peacetime.

But this was not what he was most curious about, and before coming out, he suddenly received an order from his superiors to greet a group of evolutionaries riding mutant beasts, and to treat them specially.

He hadn't seen the image of Luo Yuan's battle with the desert crypt worm, so naturally he didn't know how important the evolutionary ability he showed was to the reconstruction area, the underground mutant beasts have always been a very tricky problem, they usually go deep underground, they are very hidden, and there is no good detection method until now.

To make matters worse, in the desert area, there are still many such underground creatures, and hundreds of attacks occur almost every day in the reconstruction area, and thousands of people are killed. And they are becoming more and more cunning, elusive, and after a single blow, they are far away, almost impossible to kill, and now they are simply the nightmare of mankind.

……

The fortress looks hideous and sci-fi on the outside, but it is rough and empty on the inside.

The uneven concrete floors, the rough unpainted walls, and the various uplifting slogans and large characters are the rows of huge rocket cars on either side, and a few children walking down the aisle, not even as tall as a tire.

The group followed several soldiers into the fortress, asked a few simple questions, took a photo, the only difference was that Huo Dong had an extra box of canned food presented by the lieutenant in his hand, and each person also hung a pass around his neck and stamped it.

This made Luo Yuan feel a little intimate.

However, unlike before, it does not have a plastic shell, only a piece of wood, and a thin hemp rope, after the end of the world, resources are obviously quite scarce, and plastic can no longer be wasted here.

There are many forts in this area, and the group will stop for a while to wait for inspection, but fortunately, the time is very short, as long as you check the pass, and immediately let go, so that you can pass through thirteen fortresses, and finally get rid of the endless inspection.

Along the way, Commander Xia was a little silent, his expression was sometimes emotional, sometimes preoccupied, as a nominal "war damage" officer, he really didn't dare to imagine what his family would become, the reconstruction area encouraged childbirth, and it was strictly forbidden to be single, especially women, his marriage came from this, and as a new "widow"...... He had to be mentally prepared.

Luo Yuan opened the wooden box full of canned food, and the inside was also canned food packed in wood, with carved patterns on the outside, simply indicating the type, date and grade of the food, eight canned meat, the grade was fourth, and four were canned vegetables, the grade was first.

Level 4 is dark blue, and Level 1 is white.

From five o'clock in the morning to four o'clock in the afternoon, due to his excitement, he didn't stop all the way, except for water, he hadn't eaten anything, Luo Yuan opened the cans one by one.

These things may be quite precious and valuable to ordinary people, but for Luo Yuan and his party, that's it, not to mention the dark blue level, even the green level has eaten a lot.

The canned meat is a mass of rice flour-like substance, and the tough mutant beast meat has obviously been ground, and it seems to be mixed with a lot of starch, but the taste is much better than the original, not only rich in umami, but also easy to eat, so that people who have not eaten various seasonings for a long time have a great appetite.

In the end, even those dehydrated canned vegetables were eaten up by everyone without care.

There was still a considerable distance between the first line of defense and the reconstruction area, and it wasn't until seven o'clock in the evening that Luo Yuan finally faintly saw the lights in the distance!
