Chapter 573: Gail's past, down to the command center
From the exchange between Gale and Miller, Xie Yuan learned why Gale could lead them to the satellite command center - her mother was a member of the command center, and they had lived in the command center when Gale was a child.
a period of time.
This is really... so fateful!
Gale finally agreed to lead Xie Yuan to the command center area, thus repaying the favor of saving his life.
As Gale walked to the command center, she also told herself a story of her own.
Before the war started, there was still a normal sea scenery near the Caspian Sea, which was very beautiful - Gale was only five years old at the time, and her mother was still a young beauty at the time.
But in just twenty years, the sea has changed dramatically, and the originally dense sea suddenly turned into a bumpy seabed. Everything has changed:
Animals have become monsters, humans have become beasts, and local tribesmen have become slaves...who have been enslaved by the interests of oil and become slaves.
It seems that although the sea water has dried up due to unknown reasons, all the oil buried in the ground has been discovered and fully utilized by local oil dealers.
It’s hard to say that the oil drum train in Moscow at that time was purchased from here. I don’t know how much it cost.
The tribesmen in Caspian Sea encountered a cultural crisis similar to Ermao. The older generation of guys with normal judgment were all consumed, while the younger generation of guys were confused by the "Vulcan" belief founded and promoted by oil dealers.
, voluntarily joined it and became a slave... Xie Yuan felt uncomfortable for a while, because he had countless repetitions of such incidents in his mind.
The result is that the victim has sacrificed everything. Those who are more lucky may still have one life left, but those who are less lucky... will still have to lose money if they sell it.
Gale has been wandering the world alone since she was ten years old. In the fifth year after the war, her mother hid in the command center and never came out again.
Although Gale looked young, she was very alert to everything in her heart - as soon as she landed on the ground, she subconsciously raised her gun on alert and carefully observed her surroundings.
Although he knew that there were no signs around him, Xie Yuan did not make fun of Gale's paranoia. On the contrary, he respected Gale very much - this was a habit that was engraved in his bones after escaping from many chases. Without this paranoia and
Be careful, Gale won't survive until now.
But then, Xie Yuan understood why Gale liked to build safe rooms on high towers - safety was only one part, mainly because it was only a few dozen meters away, which was the underground entrance to the command center.
"I know how to open this door, so I've also gone in..." Gale pointed to the dark entrance of the basement with a very complicated expression, "But I've never gone deep in. There are spiders there..."
The spiders Gale was talking about were, as expected, mutant spiders that like to live in tunnels or fortresses that don't see light all year round.
If this is really the case, it is inevitable that Gale would not dare to go deep - except for the visible light and delicate abdomen, the chitin armor composed of a crab-like shell is so hard that even bullets cannot penetrate its shell.
Fortunately, Xie Yuan was prepared to deal with this type of monster easily - luckily he brought a shotgun.
Xie Yuan went down first, followed by Gale. Then Xie Yuan, who was leading the way, lit the miner's torch on his head, and then lit his own 14.5mm special lighter - "Bang!"
A huge candle light came on, instantly igniting a thick layer of spider silk hanging overhead.
With the help of flashlight and candlelight, Xie Yuan walked into the dark underground corridor without lights. There was a thick and tightly fitted air valve in front of him, and some machines and equipment were isolated with barbed wire next to it... maybe it was used for ventilation.
Xie Yuan's target is the room on the left with a lightning sign on the door - it seems to be a power distribution room.
Pushing open the ajar iron door, I saw an old-fashioned distribution box main gate around the corner.
The main gate is so old that it doesn't even have a cover, but other settings are still well preserved - Xie Yuan directly took out the manual charger connected to the miner's lamp above his head, connected the wires, and then "crunch, crunch, crunch"
"Press the handle back and forth to charge.
After a while, the current threshold of the hand-cranked charger reached the peak, and the red light on the distribution box also lit up - which means that the power is normal and it is in standby state.
Xie Yuan quickly removed the two wires and then turned the two knobs on the top. "Buzz!" The red light turned green.
Then I turned around and saw that the orange emergency light was already on above the gas valve, and Gale was also tinkering with something on the console next to him...
When Xie Yuan walked out, he saw a bunch of little spiders crawling out in all directions and spreading everywhere. It seemed that Gale's operation process was very rough and alerted them.
I saw Gale just tinkering with a few switches, and then pressed a few red and white switches. I didn't know what they did. Then he gave up the operation and stood in the middle of the door.
Seeing that she was so confident, Xie Yuan, who didn't know what to do, waited obediently next to him and watched the movement of the door - Eh?! Eh!
Under the constant flashing of orange emergency lights, the door gradually rose from the bottom!
"Very good!" Gale finally relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he hadn't been there for many years, and even the entry steps might be unfamiliar.
But Xie Yuan then thought about it, could it be that Gale's blind cat encountered a dead mouse and clicked randomly to open it?
However, this sudden idea was abandoned after Xie Yuan came to the lifting platform.
Gale did not follow. According to her, she had to stay here to ensure that the power supply would not be cut off. She only needed to go down and see the road.
But it was her next words that made Xie Yuan understand that she had indeed lived here: "If you see a photo of my mother, bring it to me... As long as I live, I will be forever grateful to you."
Xie Yuan nodded, this little effort can help, and then the elevator slowly took Xie Yuan into the underground.
…
Finally, I’m walking alone again, yeah!
Xie Yuan was in a good mood and pulled out a blue and green bullpup shotgun from the space behind his back. The huge, beveled muzzle indicated that this bullet could spit out huge recoil.
"One shot can break the arm of a human warrior"
The "Broad Sword" ymore shotgun is exclusively used by Krogan people, but it is designed by humans. It is an upgraded version of the scimitar assault shotgun (a standard equipment popular among mercenaries in the Kaishen Galaxy).
The reason for choosing it is that although the long-range strike effect is greatly reduced, the short-range output is very terrifying, and it is very effective against armor, shields and supernatural barriers - especially its large bullets are very effective against armored units.
Because the finished gun body is specially embedded with a "manufacturing copyright management" (frm) technology protection measure, the gun cannot be copied at all - so it can only be purchased.
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
Xie Yuaneng acquired this gun because of his top-level permissions as a Citadel ghost agent, and basically spent hundreds of thousands of credits.
And the purpose of it being brought up by Xie Yuan today was that he wanted to see whether the mutant spider's back armor was stronger or the powerful impact of the broad sword was stronger - for this purpose Xie Yuan specially carried a double-barreled shotgun as a weapon.
hidden.
Because the sound when the two are fired is the same, but the recoil of a normal person's control of the broadsword can directly break the operator's arm, so it is almost impossible for humans to use it directly.
However, this does not include Xie Yuan. The recoil of the broad sword is still a bit light for him, even with the addition of a throat constrictor, and it is very simple to use.
It's just time to test the power of this krogan-specific shotgun with these mutant creatures.
