Chapter 221. Clouds of nuclear war
When a fierce exchange of fire was lost by one side, the losing attacker gave up on the offensive after several attempts. However, such a brief ceasefire has never been peaceful, and the so-called calm is based only on the conclusion that the two sides have not yet engaged in a larger conflict. Looking at the craters on the land, the ossified corpses, you can already understand that the hatred between the two sides has been deeply rooted in their minds at the moment of the firefight.
The corpses of the Soviets had long been devoured and torn apart by the abundant wildlife of the Rocky Mountains at night, and had become a meal for the predators and scavengers. As for the huge super mutant test subject, it seems that because of the large number of viruses in the body, it was avoided by the wild animals with an extremely keen sense of smell, and almost no wild animal dared to try this strange corpse except for some mosquitoes that were still buzzing at the wounds of the corpse.
If it weren't for the bomber formation that appeared the next day, I'm afraid that the marines in the defensive bunkers would have to worry about the possible spread of the virus in the corpse due to mosquito bites. However, this tactical bombing was not as countless bombs as before, but rather small and deadly incendiary bombs, which rose up with the force of the fall.
The flames formed by this bombardment burned for a full three hours before they were finally extinguished, and the surrounding oxygen had been consumed, and even the interior of the cave base had been exchanged by Liszt for hundreds of oxygen tanks to avoid the excessive consumption of oxygen. And even so, in the mountains that go a few meters or even more than ten meters underground, the temperature is faintly higher by a few degrees, and the peripheral ventilation fans have all been damaged and need to be repaired in time.
However, the greater significance of this incendiary bomb bombing seems to be to eliminate the traces, but even the flames that have burned for more than three hours, the terrifying temperature that has burned almost all the hills, there are still a lot of carbonized white bones left. Especially the corpse of the super mutant, even now, you can clearly see the traces of the white bones of the corpses, although it is dark and impossible to make out what it is, but the wide bones have already shown that this is not something that ordinary humans can develop naturally.
But for Liszt, the influence of the outside world only surprised them slightly, but as the number of stable days increased, their tasks about the amount of work have also been issued. The interior of the entire karst cave base has regained the appearance of a construction site, and a large number of karst cave tunnels and small cracks have also become more convenient passages for transportation with the use of detonators, shovels, and pickaxes.
Just on the periphery of the cave base, potholes of about two square meters have also been successfully opened up in the rock wall with the efforts of the marines. These potholes have been rebuilt, the inside has been re-ground with cement and concrete, and after the seismic treatment, the entire perimeter of the pothole has also dug a hole about the size of a basketball into the outside space, as long as the crane gun is set up behind this hole, then it is a standard heavy machine gun firing position, which can cause a deadly firepower to any infantry who attempts to attack within a kilometer of the outside!
A month is not only a series of arrangements made by the Soviets on the Queen Charlotte Islands, but even Liszt and them in this complex mountainous area are also busy with tension. Both sides were waiting for the time to defeat the enemy, and they were as cautious as the most venomous snakes. However, Liszt's prudence was to build his own cave base more perfectly, while the Soviets' prudence was to clear the process by themselves.
The entire Queen Charlotte Islands have been controlled by Prenyakov, and even in the name of the Central Suppression Committee, his power has extended to the Soviet Bering Strait theater, which has long been hidden in the primeval forests of Alaska, and the heavy armored forces in the mountains and rivers have gradually been taken over by his forces. It can be said that the current Plunyakov is really using the influence of the main battle faction in Moscow to gradually and intensively influence the Soviet army on the entire front.
But all this Liszt did not know, his news network had been completely sealed in this small mountainous area, and even the communicator from the Enclave had already been placed in a box made of lead, and could not transmit any news at all. He now relies only on himself, as well as the Marines from the game system, a deformed world where more and more tyranny has begun to manifest itself as time goes on and resources are scarce.
The Vault is just a variation of this deformed world, and when any model of government, any model of power, is unable to effectively assume the responsibility of protecting their people, it will enter a process of gradual self-destruction. And the almost complete disappearance of resources is the countdown to this self-destruct process, and now that the U.S. federal emergency plan has been activated, ordinary people have been confined to their respective regions, and cannot move to each state at will as before.
The whole world was strangely turned out by the drying up of oil resources, but when the two poles of the Cold War, the Soviet Union and the American Federation, were hostile to each other, the clouds of war gradually obscured the strange phenomenon. Not everyone can see the frightening truth behind it, because everyone can see that there will be a full-scale war between the American Union and the Soviets, and that is at that time, a world war.
Shelter projects have also entered the forefront of federal construction in the United States, and a large number of shelter projects have spread all over the United States. And many people in the U.S. federal government have put their only hope on the shelter project. And even those civilians who have confirmed that they cannot enter the shelter are using their own efforts to build the shelter, but their shelter is more similar to the simplest bomb shelter, but with the addition of anti-nuclear facilities.
After all, when the all-out war between the United States and the Soviet Union began, the nuclear bombs that had already been aimed at both sides would fall like a torrential rain, carefully cleaning all the cities and even important strongholds that existed in the eyes of both sides. No one can survive a nuclear war, at least in the current experiments, the horror of a nuclear bomb can easily wipe out a city, it's a simple matter. (To be continued.) )
