Chapter 55: The Kirtland Massacre

A burst of blue light flickered in mid-air, and then something formed from the light like water, and eventually... That becomes a person.

Andy just lay on the ground, motionless.

After a long time, Gillian and Measles arrived.

Gillian ran over to check on Andy's condition, the horrible scars and blood stains made her hands tremble slightly, and Measles saw some of Hull's facet marks, staring at the dress for a long time.

When Andy finally opens his eyes again, he is lying in a dilapidated house with a half-collapsed roof.

Little Black, who had been taken out by Gillian at the beginning, curled up beside him, while Gillian sat on one side and fell asleep against the wall.

He struggled to get up, and just as Measles walked in with a lizard.

"Oh, you're awake, do you know how long you've been asleep like this? It's been three days. ”

Andy shook his head in a daze, a feeling of hunger in his stomach swelled up, and he took out the food from the beep boy and ate it, which was barely relieved.

"Where is this?"

Measles skinned the lizard with a piece of polished iron as a knife, skillfully removing the internal organs, and in doing so, his fingerless palms were a little abrupt.

"A building on the outskirts of Kirtland Air Force Base, maybe it used to be a terminal or something, I don't know exactly what it did, as you can see, the aftermath of the nuclear explosion destroyed this place but not completely... We couldn't find where you parked before, and that slave of yours was wobbly after a few steps and insisted on waiting for you to come back, so we stayed around here. ”

Andy rubbed his aching chest, he didn't dare to press hard, the pain was really sad.

"I didn't expect this time to be so dangerous... I really almost stayed in there..."

He couldn't remember how he ended up leaving the Dowsey base, probably because Hel manipulated his muscles to get him out of there while he was unconscious.... The dress has saved him more than once so far, and it would have been better if its auto-injection wasn't that saturated style.

"My fingers are completely in there."

Measles coldly put the gutted lizard on a piece of concrete and skinned it.

Andy scratched his head and just wanted to say something to comfort him, but Gillian suddenly woke up and pounced directly after seeing Andy.

"Are you alright? Great, you've been in a coma for days... Those injuries when you come back... I feel like your body has been almost completely torn apart, and I can't imagine what happened to you. ”

Andy sighed and patted her, although the price paid to save Gillian was a bit heavy, but in the end, he finally achieved the goal, and it was not said that he got nothing, the alien atomizer was very powerful, much more powerful than the previous plasma pistol.

"If you've had enough of making out..."

Measles is a simple thing made by skewered with a wooden stick and thrown on a campfire on the ground, which is actually a simple thing made by turning heads in a circle and putting some dried plants as fuel in it, but it is no problem to make a traditional wasteland dish, "Bangbang Lizard".

"We'd better leave as soon as possible, it's been too long."

Andy looked at Gillian a little confused, and she explained what the measles meant.

"I waited here alone for three days when I came back, but luckily Xiao Hei helped me catch food and found me, this place to hide... Then one night I saw a blue light coming up not far away, I guessed it was one of you, and I found measles. ”

Measles answered while roasting a lizard.

"I waited for five days after I came back, and I didn't wait until you came back three days ago, and then you lay here for three days, so you wasted nearly half a month back and forth... We've only just arrived at the new mS border, and we're going to have to travel for a few days to get close to the Hoover Dam, which is a bit of a long time..."

"Although the scars on your body are scary, they don't look serious, and you're really strong."

Andy barely stood up and took two steps, still feeling a little dizzy.

"Do you think that guy who calls himself Shelley is telling me if it's true or not?"

Measles snorted twice.

"Of course it's fake, that kind of guy doesn't know the purpose, maybe it's not human, he just communicates with you with a picture and a processed voice, who knows what the guy is hiding behind it? Another bunch of aliens or a computer, you say? Since Tibbetts Prison was still functioning after the war, why couldn't some kind of alien prison still be there carrying out its programmes? It deceives you, takes advantage of you, that's all, don't believe his story, I said before that the story is a ridiculous story that was widely circulated before the Great War in the records of the reservation, but this earth-shattering thing is being circulated as a folk tale, do you believe it? ”

“.....”

Andy decided not to think about it anymore, and this kind of bizarre thing probably won't happen in the future.

......................

After cleaning up the dirt and debris from her body, she mentions a funny thing to Andy while chatting with Gillian later.

"I was here before when I was looking for something to exploit and found some recordings and recordings that may prove that Kirtland Air Force Base was not destroyed by a nuclear bomb dropped by bA."

"Who else could there be? Aliens, you say? ”

"No... Probably, the SA Air Force itself dropped a nuclear bomb on this airbase .. And it's a super nuclear bomb, the yield is quite terrifying, so one destroyed most of the facilities of this air base. ”

Andy then curiously followed Gillian to a terminal that had been cracked by her, and although it was ruined, it was lucky not to be destroyed.

After opening, Andy opened some entries under Gillian's guidance.

Some of the subsequent data is corrupted, and Gillian finds a recording file.

The deafening explosion at the end of the recording startled Andy, and he looked around, now he knew how this place had become what he was looking like, and thought it was a nuclear bomb dropped by bA, which destroyed Kirtland Air Force Base like destroying Los Alamos, but in the end it was an oolong incident caused by the SA Air Force itself, and this powerful mK26 nuclear bomb set off a terrifying nuclear explosion after landing, which directly made Kirtland Air Force Base come to naught...

Measles didn't know when it came, and I wasn't surprised by the content of the recording, so I knew that I had heard it before.

Andy left the terminal with a shocked face, and turned to look at the two, who was puzzled at the moment.

"Why did the mistouch happen? Isn't this supposed to be the highest safety standard? ”

Gillian gives her guess as a mechanic.

"I think the guy in charge of the manual operation came across a bare wire, and the wire happened to be connected to the release handle, and the short circuit caused by the accidental touch happened to trigger it, so the nuclear bomb broke off the anchor and fell into the bomber's cabin... Of course, the hatch couldn't hold the weight. ”

Andy's unbelievable hands.

"How many coincidences did this come together? And why did they pull that locking pin off, shouldn't this thing be operated after it was completely landed? ”

Measles often read pre-war military materials on the reservation, and at this moment he opened his mouth to speak out.

"No.... The large bomber has to face a dilemma, that is, it may be attacked during take-off or landing, if the only correct option in this case is to drop the nuclear bomb immediately, then it is also mentioned in the recording, once suddenly unloaded, the plane will lose weight in an instant and rise rapidly, so that it can avoid the attack away from danger, and prevent the nuclear bomb and the bomber from ending together. ”

"In order to facilitate this operation, the bomber will have a full-time manual operator who goes to the engine room to manually remove the locking pin when he is about to arrive at the landing destination, and he is at this time because of the vibration of the aircraft and accidentally touches it, since the nuclear bomb fell in the cabin and finally crushed the hatch and fell, it means that he has removed the locking pin according to the procedure before he accidentally touched, so .... The triple obstacle that prevented the nuclear bomb from falling from the plane was all broken... The funny thing is that these things are set up manually to avoid misuse. ”

Andy was speechless for a while after listening to the measles explanation.

Judging from the recording, it took only a few minutes from the time the driver discovered that the nuclear bomb was in the wrong state to the time the nuclear bomb fell, which was not enough time to do anything, and the fast runner may have just left the area where he usually works and moved a short distance in the direction of the bunker before being swept away by the aftermath of the nuclear bomb explosion.

As for those who knew nothing at the last moment, they would be instantly reduced to ashes.

No one could have predicted what would happen.

But Andy suddenly thought of the multiple unidentified flying targets mentioned in the recording.

"Measles, have you seen those strange alien spacecraft in the past?"

Measles eats the lizard in their hand, although the ghoul can't starve to death without eating, but eating is essentially a kind of enjoyment and spiritual support, and even they will feel bad if they don't eat all the time.

"I can't say often, but in those records I noticed that the total number of observations is not a few, and there have been many incidents in the area that have been confirmed by the military, some are sightings, some are crashes, and it is said that if you don't try to recover the wreckage immediately, there will be hordes of weird people who will go to recover the wreckage. And eyewitnesses often provide inconsistent wording, for example, some people will say that a group of black clothes drove a heavy truck to take away the wreckage of the flying saucer, but in fact, the military arrived at the scene and found no rut marks on the heavy truck... This means that either the witnesses are talking gibberish, or the group of guys is using something that affects human perception as a camouflage for their actions, which may be more useful. ”

"It is said that an almost complete recovered and damaged flying saucer is stored inside Kirtland Air Force Base, but no one has ever really confirmed the authenticity of this fact."

The more he knows about the world, the more he worries about the precarious state of the world, the nuclear weapons that are still asleep so far, the unknown number of nuclear space stations hovering in space, the automation facilities that are out of control one after another, viruses, monsters... Now that there is another group of aliens, can the world still be better?

But there is no point in worrying ... Shelley claimed that the aliens had two huge motherships, and he didn't know where the aliens' lair was or how he could get there, so it was up to future generations to solve this thorny problem that might pose a threat to humanity again in the future.

Take out the captured alien atomizer, the power of this weapon is really not said, but now Andy thinks of a problem, this weapon needs special energy ammunition for energy, but that kind of ammunition is only in the hands of aliens, and the ammunition has been shot out in the underground base before, isn't it going to become a brick?

After talking to Gillian about it, she examined the weapon and tossed around for a while before telling Andy the good news.

"I think the loading port can be modified, let it switch to a nuclear fusion battery as ammunition, after all, it is powered by radioactive batteries, in principle, it is the same, you leave it to me to do it, this may take some time, and if this transformation is carried out, its power will definitely decline, and it is likely not possible to use nuclear fusion batteries to the extent that it was before."

Andy doesn't see this as a problem, as long as this important catch doesn't turn into an unusable ornament.

"Of course, I see, thank you Gillian."

Gillian waved her hand repeatedly.

"You've saved me twice, Andy, and then I'm going to trouble you to take me back to see my friends, I don't know how to thank you... It's just a small matter at the moment. ”

....................

The three of them left the dilapidated terminal with Xiao Hei, and following the map guidance of the Pip-Boy, they quickly returned to the atomic Humvee, but fortunately this time the car did not fall into the quicksand inexplicably, it was parked there motionless, just a little more wind and sand, and found a few lizards in the gap between the wheels.

Sitting on the Atomic Humvee, Andy suddenly remembered that there were a total of three holographic cartridges in the backpack he carried next to the corpse he found underground, and he had only seen one of them, so he just had time, so it was better to see what was left.

Stuffed into the Pip-Boy, the second holographic cassette contains an hour-long interview that is similar to the summary in the first one, only more trivial and multifaceted.

He quickly lost patience and interest and switched to the third cassette.

This time, the contents of the cassette are interesting.
