Chapter 40: The Mysterious Fortress

At this moment, it was the darkness before dawn, and the car lights and two searchlights in front of the building illuminated the surroundings, but even so, Qin Ge who walked in it was still the most inconspicuous one, and the two talents of environmental affinity and shadow concealment were extremely good at this moment.

Therefore, Qin Ge had to increase the sound of footsteps, and followed closely by Tang Sen, the senior old member of the anti-virus department.

So before getting into the car, he suddenly turned around and asked,

"Xiao Qin, are you a little nervous?"

Qin Ge didn't speak, but he felt in his heart that this fat looking senior member might not really be a hanging boot ghost.

The process of departure is very simple, there is no swearing-in ceremony, just drive and set off.

It is worth mentioning that the vehicle that Qin Ge and the five of them took was the diesel car produced by Wang Zilin from the previous era, which belonged to Wang Zilin's own, I heard what it was called H9 off-road, Qin Ge didn't understand and didn't care at all, but it was really comfortable to sit on, the five of them carried a lot of materials and sat in it and it was very spacious, especially when there were all steam trucks around, there was an inexplicable sense of superiority.

But that sense of superiority soon faded.

The convoy was from the northern city of Gale City, where the convoy of the first and second anti-virus departments met another huge convoy, which was from the military.

Twelve Dongfeng Warriors with heavy machine guns, five armored vehicles, two tanks, one rocket launcher, two self-propelled howitzer vehicles, three ammunition supply vehicles, one command vehicle, two fuel tankers, and finally five personnel carriers.

The strength of at least one reinforced battalion.

And that's not even counting the military's anti-drug hunters.

This time, there is not only one anti-virus, but even the high-spirited anti-virus No. 2 in Gale City, there is only dry staring and envy.

There is no way, the military and the local government are not one system, Qin Ge doesn't know the key to this, he just vaguely knows that in Gale City, the military is one system, the virus defense bureau is one system, and the government and police department are another system.

The military is responsible for maintaining the perimeter defense of the city, while maintaining traffic safety between various cities.

The government and the police are responsible for managing all kinds of things in the city, developing the economy by the way, dealing with law and order incidents, and so on.

The Virus Defense Bureau, the immediate boss of the Anti-Virus Operations Division, is responsible for handling smaller cases of virus intrusions.

In normal times, the three systems can coordinate with each other, but they do not interfere much with each other, especially the military, which is independent and self-sufficient, unlike the Virus Defense Bureau, where wages and living materials have to be paid by the government.

However, there is only one opportunity for the three systems to be able to work together once a year, and that is the time of the annual resource war.

The military has the power of the military, the power of the Virus Defense Bureau is the first and second anti-virus departments, and as for the government and the police department, their representative forces are those hired high-end bounty hunters, which is purely soy sauce, or this should be the result of a compromise between the three parties.

The annual resource task is certainly dangerous, but it is certainly the most rewarding, and no one is willing to give up these gains.

At this time, the military convoy took the lead, and the other convoys followed and drove north along the road.

At the beginning, the speed of the military's convoy was very fast, Qin Ge and their cars could barely keep up, and the other steam trucks could only follow at a turtle speed.

Qin Ge sat in the window position in the back row of the car, the driver was Wang Zilin, the co-pilot was surprisingly the night walker Zeng Yun, Wang Tashan sat by the window on the left side of the back row, Tang Sen was in the bureau, several people did not speak, Qin Ge wanted to ask several times, but he still held back.

So I took out a small packet of compressed biscuits, broke the small pieces and ate them slowly, looking at the scenery outside the window by the way.

It's not far from Gale City, and you can see a lot of harvested fields on both sides of the road, which will spread around Gale City for more than fifty kilometers, and then gradually become scarce, because the cost of maintenance is too high, and the crops that plague the wild in this era are not birds, birds, and voles.

Continuing to the north, the scenery gradually became barren, speaking of which, in the past three years, all the anti-virus tasks carried out by Qin Ge have been east, west, and south, but he has never been to the north of Gale City, and now it seems that this is not accidental.

Surprisingly, however, the road to the north is extremely well maintained, and with the exception of some destroyed bridges and culverts that cannot be repaired, the rest of the road is in excellent condition.

So in just one morning, Qin Ge and the others had traveled at least 200 kilometers with the military convoy, but they didn't seem to have reached the destination of the trip.

The temperature outside is getting colder, and even a thin layer of snow can be seen on the surface.

At noon, the military convoy stopped in front, and Qin Ge and the others also stopped, but it was an abandoned town, many houses had collapsed and abandoned, except for the area near the road that had been rebuilt with a three-story fortress.

The outer walls of the fortress are made of reinforced concrete, more than five meters thick, and there are thick steel bars left on the surface to hang 20 mm thick steel plates, as if a heavy set of iron armor was put on the outer walls of the fortress.

But even so, this fortress does not mean that it is indestructible, Qin Ge looked at those dense scratches, different shades, shallow scratches are not enough to break the steel plate, but the deep scratches can actually break such a thick steel plate, and even the reinforced concrete inside has been blasted open a gap.

In some places, traces of burning can be seen, and the ground outside the fortress is a special kind of black, which is known to those who are experienced, and those who are soaked in blood.

When the convoy stopped, the fortress did not open its doors to welcome it immediately, but quickly revealed more than twenty black holes above the fortress with heavy machine gun ports, as well as ten more ferocious anti-aircraft machine guns.

At this time, Qin Ge realized that the entire top of the fortress was sealed, such a defense, such firepower, it was simply frenzied, but even so, the defenders here were still so vigilant, so how terrible should the enemy they were about to face?

After verifying each other's identities, the defenders of the fortress did not put the convoy in, but two ammunition supply trucks drove out, and more than a dozen people jumped out of the fortress, more than Hercules, and dozens of tons of ammunition on the two ammunition supply vehicles were emptied in a few minutes.

"The anti-virus hunters in this, the worst ones are all black iron level. At this time, Wang Zilin suddenly said quietly.

"What is their mission?"

At this time, Qin Ge finally couldn't help but ask, and Wang Zilin turned around and showed a strange expression, "If I say I don't know, do you believe it or not?" I had the opportunity to join here back then, but I was brushed off during the second round of assessment, so I can only tell you that they seem to be suppressing something, and the reason why our annual resource mission can be carried out is related to them." Okay, get in the car, let's go!"

The military convoy stayed here for a few minutes, leaving some ammunition supplies and continuing on the road, and then Qin Ge discovered a very strange logical problem.

The mysterious fortress in that town should have been the scene of large-scale battles on a regular basis, but after leaving the town for about a few kilometers, there was no trace of the battlefield at all, and even the road was not destroyed, as if those mysterious enemies had fallen from the sky.

The convoy continued to move forward, and in the evening, it drove more than 200 kilometers, occasionally encountering wandering virus hosts and virus infected people on the road, but they were basically torn apart by the powerful firepower of the military in an instant.

Other than that, there were no accidents, and there were no similar mysterious fortresses, but abandoned towns abound along the road.

However, the destination is still far away.
