"Dig a hole deep and store grain widely" is something that not only the Chinese people have done, but also the US government and people like it very much. It can even be said that they are more motivated and capable.
In the 1950s and 1960s, the shadow of World War III prompted the U.S. government to dig holes and build shelters all over the country. Some large shelters could even accommodate thousands of people for long-term living. However, as time went by, these shelters
Most of them were abandoned.
When the catastrophe occurred, due to the sudden disappearance of the government and the military, these unknown official shelters did not immediately play a role. But as time went by, many Americans still found these Feng Shui treasures and lived in them.
Baltimore is located in the Washington Capital District. This city is an important industrial and port city on the east coast of the United States. There is a large underground shelter just outside the city in Granite.
Three months before the nuclear bomb washed away the land, the people living in the shelter tried their best to improve their living conditions. These efforts were not in vain, and most of the people in the shelter survived.
but…….
"The people in the shelter are very xenophobic. They are afraid that others will seize their territory and resources, so they refuse anyone to join. When I escaped from Baltimore City, I followed my companions and prayed to join them, but they just drove us away with guns.
No mercy. I don't think they will change anything now.
If you want to enter Baltimore, it is best to have a safe place to stay in the suburbs. Transportation is not convenient now. Newmarket is a full 40 kilometers away from Baltimore, which is too far. Granite is only 40 kilometers away from the outer edge of the city circle.
One or two kilometers away is much more convenient.
I mean, maybe you have the ability to talk to the people in the shelter. After all, field operations also need a stable place to rest."
After speaking, Niya pursed her lips and took half a step back. Zhou Qingfeng's eyes fell on the inconspicuous place name on the map. Granite is not even a village, but if there is a fully functional refuge somewhere
So, the situation is very different again.
"How many people are in the shelter?"
"have no idea."
"Where's the equipment?"
"Not sure."
"Where is the specific location?"
"The entrance to the shelter is in Granite's Baptist Church. The church is a granite stone building, tall and solid. Anyone who approaches will be spotted by the sentry on the church."
A strong church, a large shelter, and a base that can be attacked and defended are indeed much stronger than a weak stronghold. Zhou Qingfeng couldn't help but be greatly moved. After discussing with Catalina and others,
Decided to visit this shelter.
Without further ado, the decision was made to take immediate action. Zhou Qingfeng left 20 elite direct descendants to guard the stronghold, and used the stronghold's vehicles to pull more than a hundred soldiers and residents in the stronghold to serve as coolies and cannon fodder, and took the remaining 30 or so
The men set off with assault guns and armored vehicles.
The size of the armed search convoy was not small, with more than twenty vehicles. A thick-tubed BTR-60 was the leader, with lightly armored Panhards standing guard on both sides, and the wheels were rolling as they drove out of the stronghold in a mighty manner.
It’s just that because of the lush vegetation in Maryland, even after nuclear winter, there are still a lot of dead trees blocking the way. The convoy can only rely on maps and drones to find some small roads to move forward. It took six or seven hours to run carefully on the more than 40 kilometers of road.
Departed in the morning and arrived in the afternoon.
Just as they were approaching the two-kilometer range of the shelter, the 'Dog Meat' who went out to conduct reconnaissance sent back a warning - anti-infantry and anti-tank mines were laid on the road, and traps and defensive positions were laid out behind the mines. He ran over without warning.
You deserve to be beaten.
Haha... the security of this shelter is extraordinary!
"I actually saw artillery. This shelter can survive close to the edge of the city. It is a hard nut to crack." Zhou Qingfeng ordered the convoy to spread out and set up a warning. He and the butcher ran up to conduct an investigation in person, and found that there were two sides of the shelter surrounding it.
There are actually three layers of light and heavy firepower networks deployed within a radius of one kilometer.
"There should be retired soldiers in charge of commanding this shelter. Their defense system is very formal. An attack like the one they attacked us last night can't shake them at all." The butcher also felt a little headache.
This kind of force that is self-sufficient, unwilling to deal with the outside world, and completely refuses to communicate is the hardest to deal with. Unless they can be crushed like walnuts, they will fight hard to keep their family business.
The arrival of Zhou Qingfeng's convoy actually alerted the outer guard posts of the shelter. Soon someone panicked and reported the situation to the commander of the shelter, "Elder Joseph, Elder Joseph, an armed convoy appeared outside our position.
"
Granit Sanctuary looks like a solid church on the ground, but it has five underground structures, each covering an area of dozens of acres. It is a small underground city with independent power generation, water supply and other living facilities.
When he heard the sentry's report, Elder Joseph, who was resting, had to get up from the bed and go to the monitoring room to check the situation. This elder was a tall, sturdy old white man with a gray beard who looked quite majestic.
"Armed convoy? Does the Brotherhood of Steel want to come and suffer again?" Elder Joseph stared at the screen. A large number of cameras arranged around the shelter transmitted the images back to the control room. He squinted for a long time and couldn't help but said in surprise.
: "They are just outside our fire circle, and they are very well hidden. This is not an ordinary adventure group, this is more like an army."
Seeing that the armed men with unknown intentions were approaching, Elder Joseph had to come out of the shelter, climb to the top of the church, and look down with a telescope. But as soon as he came out, he cursed loudly: "Damn, they are using drones to conduct reconnaissance.
us."
The entire shelter put a lot of effort into ground firepower, but the air defense was completely blank. A six-axis micro-drone just staggered towards the church.
"Kill it down for me." Elder Joseph pointed out his hand, and two young men behind him raised their rifles and started shooting. However, the micro-drone kept swaying, and the two rifles ran out of bullets and failed to shoot it down.
Just as the rifleman was changing the magazine, the micro-drone was approaching rapidly. Several people on the church steeple thought it was about to launch an attack and hurriedly avoided it. Unexpectedly, the drone flying over did not bring it.
Instead of dynamite or something, there was a walkie-talkie hanging on it.
"Hey! Old man, I feel like you are a leader, maybe we should talk." The camera lens on the drone was swinging slightly, focusing on a few people hiding on the church steeple, and the intercom hanging on it came out.
Zhou Qingfeng's voice.
Elder Joseph was squatting behind a stone on the church steeple. He had already drawn a pistol in his hand. When he saw that the drone did not seem to be a threat, he frowned and took off the hanging walkie-talkie, pressed the call button and asked in a deep voice: "You
Who is he?"
"We are just passers-by. We want to stay in your shelter for a while and use it as a place to stay." Zhou Qingfeng said, "We can pay you or do some cooperation."
Elder Joseph suddenly sneered, "Do you think I'm a fool? Or do you think this is a hotel? You just want to come in and stay casually? I've seen too many pieces of shit like you.
Listen, kid. Put away your deceitful tricks and get away from me. I don’t care who you are, if you dare to enter our territory, I will kill you!"
