Ten days later, a majestic snow-capped mountain stood in front of Litian's eyes. This snow-capped mountain, which is more than 800 meters above sea level, is the destination of this trip, the secret communication station.

Climbing snowy mountains is dangerous. Not to mention whether there are wild beasts attacking, but the strong wind and cold temperatures make ordinary people daunting. There are other unknown dangers on the snow-capped mountains, which are even more difficult to enter.

Charlie was an indispensable person on the trip to the snowy mountains, so Litian had to take on the role of his bodyguard.

Thanks a thousand thanks, I finally reached the peak safely. Along the way, I was worried all day long, and if there was danger on this halfway mountainside, how could it be called that the sky should not be called the earth.

The summit was windy and snowy. The communication station has long been buried in the ground, I don't know how deep.

Originally, the team had a Demoman to solve the problem. But Muhammad and the explosives were long since perished in the forest. Now the two of them have to dig with their bare hands, hoping that the communication station will not be buried too deep.

After a whole day of digging, I finally found the entrance to the communication station under dozens of meters of snow. The door that had been sealed for a hundred years was opened, and a smell of decay and decay came to the face.

The two of them followed the staircase that continued down to a large hall. This is the main operating room, and the ring-shaped worktop is covered with a thick layer of dust. The corpses on the ground and the single holes left by the shooting everywhere made the hearts of the two of them feel cold.

It's been attacked here!?

Charlie hurriedly began to check for damage to the equipment. Doing nothing, he began to survey around.

The communication station is not large. In the living area, there is only one restaurant for more than a dozen people, a public bathroom, and two collective dormitories.

The work area has a power distribution room, two reserve warehouses and an operations hall when you come in.

Litian first came to the dormitory where the staff lived. The door of one dormitory was locked from the inside, and the other door was wide open. The room with the door open, except for some daily necessities scattered all over the place, there is nothing special about it.

Li Tian secretly used the force of the earthquake to shake the locked door open, and a foul smell of decay poured out.

The room was littered with the remains of eight corpses, some with weapons in their hands. Upon closer inspection, it was found that some of these people had shot themselves, some had been shot and some had died of natural causes.

Following a circle of several corpses, a picture appeared in Litian's mind. A group of people with no way out, sitting here waiting for death, loneliness and death await them.

Some people can't stand this endless mental torture and go crazy. Some people shoot themselves, some people can't do it, and they ask others to free themselves. Still others died slowly in desperate waiting.

Several corpses in the hall couldn't stand this pressure and fought each other to death.

The food in the reserve has long been consumed. But some of the military supplies of life, still stored there. It's just that some have long been ** and can't be used.

Footsteps came, and Charlie walked in and asked, "How many words did you find a corpse?" ”

"Eight."

"That's right, there are four in the hall, which is exactly the number of staff here. They were dying without being notified to retreat. Charlie said in a deep voice.

Li Tian thought to himself, retreat? Where you can retreat, you will die faster if you leave here. I'm afraid that's why all of these people are trapped here.

Seeing that Litian didn't say anything, Charlie continued: "The equipment is much more damaged than expected, and some things that shouldn't be damaged have also been damaged by random guns, even if Barry comes here with equipment, it can't make the communication station work again." We have to re-find the original parts of these devices in order to restore the normal operation of these devices. Now I'm asking for your help. ”

Li Tian did not hesitate, and immediately said: "Okay, then I will listen to your command." ”

He didn't know anything about the equipment here. I haven't even seen these technology products, where I have the right to speak, naturally everything listens to Charlie.

"Good! First of all, we need to start the power system. This backup generator, it looks intact, there's gasoline in that poke, you go get some, I'll plug it in. Charlie said as he walked over to a machine wrapped in oilcloth and tinkered.

Litian also brought gasoline as promised. Charlie is constantly connecting various lines and replacing some parts. In a few moments, Charlie was done.

Everything was ready, and Charlie stood in front of a red button, his fingers trembling and pressing it. Litian's mood also became tense, and he also knew that the critical moment had arrived.

Thundered! The motor roared, and black smoke came out of the generator.

Worked out! Haha, the sky is elated. Before he could come forward to celebrate, sparks flew in the computer room, black smoke rose everywhere, and small flames were lit in some places.

Litian's heart sank, and a feeling of extreme loss came to his heart. It took such a heavy price, and it turned out to be an empty joy.

Those lives that have passed, the struggle for life and death these days, is it just in vain?

Just when the sky was gloomy, Charlie smiled and said, "Haha, we succeeded!" These short circuits, caused by the aging of wires, are nothing. ”

After hearing the words, a big stone in my heart fell to the ground.

After the two extinguished several fires, Charlie said to Litian: "You go find some explosives, we have to expose the communication station to the ground and clear the ventilation equipment."

Otherwise, we'll choke to death in the smoke of this generator. I went to inspect the damaged equipment and write it down so I could look for it later. ”

The two of them went their separate ways. Several boxes of explosives were found in the storage depot over the clock, and they were moved outside before being assembled by Charlie.

With a few loud bangs, the entire summit shook like a major earthquake. The snow collapsed in a large area, and the entire snow-capped mountain trembled.

Charlie explained: "It was an avalanche caused by an explosion, and there was no way around it. I don't have professional blasting skills, so I can only rely on the huge power of explosives to blow up the snow. If Muhammad had been there, he would not have caused an avalanche. ”

Although it was not satisfactory, fortunately, the communication station showed its true colors.

The roof of the communication station is a circular dome. Next to the dome, a transmission tower more than ten meters high is erected. There is a curved steel pipe under the tower, which is the exhaust hole.

The two cleared the exhaust holes and the snow under the launch tower, and returned to the communications station.

Next is Charlie's record of various adjustments and damaged equipment. Li Tian couldn't help in any way, so he had to do nothing to study the records and pictures that had not yet been completely corrupted.

"Huh~! This seems to be the address of some other secret information station, Charlie, you can come and have a look. Litian held a broken notebook in his hand and handed it to Charlie.

Charlie read it carefully, and said with a happy face: "Yes, this is where other secret communications during the war are recorded. Much more detailed than what the Federation has given us, and with these addresses, it is easier to gather materials. ”

"And this." Li Tian handed over a well-preserved map that had been sealed up.

"This is a map of strategic material reserves! There is also a map of the enemy's key attack targets. These pictures are too important for the Federation. Charlie exclaimed.

As he spoke, he pointed with his hand: "These red dots should be the enemy's military strongholds." These blue dots are our military focus. You look at this place, marked with the largest personnel and material reserve base. This is where we live, the headquarters of the polyconjunction. ”

Li Tian looked in the direction of Charlie's finger, and sure enough, there was a big hoop, encircled between a mountain range and a plain. In other places, the blue circles of various sizes are also marked.

I don't know any other place, but the geographical location of District 31 marked with Li Tian can be recognized at a glance. This is where he grew up, how could he not know it?

It seems that the Federation's bases are not limited to these areas, and other places also have such shelter-like bases. The map is densely painted with hoops, and even his hometown has quite a few hoops, which are marked on the map.

Li Tian was secretly shocked, could his ancestors have survived from one of these bases?

As far as he knew, no one would have been able to survive on the ground for decades after the outbreak of the Apocalyptic War. His ancestors must have lived underground, and this has been confirmed by his father's mouth.

Li Tian couldn't help but think of what happened to Qiaojiazhai. Could it be that their ancestors also had the same birth experience?

In that case, it means that other people also started their lives from the underground back to the surface. What caused them to abandon the safer underground and go out of the surface in the first place? Is the legend that Qiao Lao said a secret base?

Endless questions filled Litian's brain. The number of secret bases marked on the map has reached more than 1,000. Area 31 is just one of the hundreds surrounding the Polyconnector headquarters.

In fact, District 31 was opened up later, and it turned out to be a space for independent survival. It took a bloody massacre for the Federation to rule the then 31st District.

Litian had a question in his mind. Will there be places that have not been opened, and will their ancestors have lived there?

Charlie didn't know how many districts there were in the Federation. Probably, only the top of the federation know the exact number.

This area with a dense base was originally the Eastern European Plain, and it was indeed an ideal place to establish a base. It's a pity that the builders of the year would never have thought of it. In the future, it will be the scariest place on earth. "The Endless Forest"

Charlie returned the map to Litian, sighed, and said with some regret: "At the back of this map, there should be an index table of contents attached. It's a pity that because of its age, it has long been turned into powder and cannot be restored. Otherwise, all doubts can be explained. ”

Litian also deeply regretted it. This is the most precious information in the world, but unfortunately the answer is missing. However, his heart is now full of fighting spirit, and these answers will be revealed step by step as the future is explored.
