In the darkness, the violent breathing sounds were like rolling thunder, and like waves of ocean waves, constantly rising and falling.
In the corner of the room, the young American soldier Miller was huddled in the corner, his hand holding the gun trembling slightly, and his frightened eyes looking around aimlessly.
The wheezing gradually subsided, and the darkness obscured Miller's sight, but also invisibly amplified his hearing. He tried his best to listen to the sounds outside, not even the slightest movement.
Suddenly, rapid and distant footsteps came from the corridor outside, as if someone was running wildly on the other side of the corridor.
Miller swallowed hard and struggled fiercely in his heart - should he take the risk to join the friendly forces, or should he continue to hide here?
There are certain risks in the rendezvous, but there is also a chance to escape. However, if you stay here, it will be a dead end. Sooner or later, you will be caught by the bugs.
Thinking of this, Miller made up his mind and put the turned-up night vision device on his eyes, and a faint green light immediately covered his eye sockets.
The dark room immediately turned into a green world, and everything fell into his eyes, including the position of the door.
Miller licked his lips, held the pistol tightly with both hands, stood on tiptoes and tried not to make a sound, and then slowly approached the door.
Before he had even taken two steps, there was a sudden burst of gunfire in the corridor, and the subtle flash of light in the crack of the door was like thunder and lightning in the night vision device. He was so frightened that he quickly retracted his outstretched steps, twisted around and hid in the corner again.
Vaguely, he seemed to hear footsteps coming from outside the door, the unique sound of insect feet touching the ground!
A touch of fear and uneasiness suddenly appeared in the eyes hidden in the darkness. It was scary for what it was. The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and finally stopped outside!
Miller's breathing suddenly stopped, and his whole body was as stiff as if he had been hit by a immobilization spell, unable to move.
The footsteps came closer, even closer, and they stopped outside the door!
Miller almost fainted. He tried his best to stay awake and aimed the gun at the door with trembling hands.
At this point, Miller has no way out, and his only option is to fight the bug!
At this moment, fierce gunshots were heard again in the corridor, and dense and rapidly retreating insect footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door. Miller, who was extremely nervous, almost shot, but luckily he stopped the impulse at the last moment and waited for the footsteps.
After running away, he let out a long sigh of relief.
Miller didn't know exactly where the shot was fired, but he knew very well that if it hadn't been for the sudden gunshot, he would have been dead.
He was very grateful to the person who fired the shot, but he also knew that in this life he would never know who fired the shot, nor would he have the opportunity to say thank you in person.
This is not a place to stay for a long time, but the base is full of bugs. If you go out now, you will die if you encounter bugs!
Miller never thought that he would encounter such a situation. Isn't the security level of the base the highest in the country? How could it be invaded by bugs? This is simply a joke!
But it really happened, and it happened right in front of Miller's eyes!
Yes, this is the White House Underground Command Center, also known as the Presidential Emergency Operations Command Center. Before the war, this was one of the safest underground bunkers in the country. After the insect disaster broke out, the command center was expanded several times and is now the largest facility in the country.
The most complete and deepest underground bunker, known as the unsinkable doomsday fortress.
It certainly lives up to the title. In Miller's memory, it has always been the safest place in Washington.
It is also the wartime command center of the United States. From the east coast to the west coast, from the ground to the sky, wherever there are American troops, they are under the control of the command center.
But a few days ago, everything changed.
Miller remembered clearly that that night, the base suddenly received an attack alarm from the top management, but the alarm lasted for a very short time. By the time General George arrived, the alarm was over.
The general immediately contacted the White House security guards on the ground, but received no response. General George tried all means and only found a blurry video clip.
Judging from the video, there was a fierce battle in the White House, and there was internal strife among the guards. This made General George very confused and did not understand what happened.
According to regulations, the base cannot be opened when the external situation is unknown. General George can only wait anxiously for news from the outside world.
However, what he was waiting for was not news from senior officials in Washington, but a statement from the moon base!
General Franklin said in the statement that the top management has been controlled by aliens, and the moon base will take over the country immediately.
General George was angry, and the two had a quarrel over the communications, but neither could be convinced. Then the news spread, and the entire base was panicked.
But this is the Fortress of Doom after all, and it is still the safest place in the country.
Soon after, senior officials from Washington suddenly appeared. They re-established communications with the base and asked the base to issue a statement to the country.
General George happily accepted the new task of sending Washington's statement to the whole country. Miller was very puzzled. Why didn't General George ask what happened in the past few days? Why had he lost contact for so long.
Maybe the general asked, but didn't let anyone else know.
Washington's statement was quickly sent to the whole country through the base. However, the statement failed to have the expected effect. Instead, it triggered a crazy war of words between Washington and the lunar base. As a result, the entire country fell into turmoil. First, several continents were affected.
Independence, then military neutrality, the underground command center exists in name only.
Not long ago, satellites discovered abnormal movements of the space fleet. After reporting it to senior officials in Washington, they learned that this was a moon base intending to seize Washington by force. The senior officials prepared to withdraw from the base and ordered the base to open its gates.
Everything was as perfect as expected. Washington's senior officials successfully evacuated into the base, accompanied by many White House guards.
Probably because the moon base was about to be airborne, there were many ground troops withdrawing into the base, almost filling the entire base.
Then, a force that retreated into the base suddenly attacked the command center. After taking control of the command center, it cut off all connections between the base and the outside world.
Everyone's brains are running out. What the hell is going on? Which army has lost its brains? Is it interesting to attack your own base?
But everyone quickly realized, wouldn't the Moon Base be about to parachute a group of troops soon? This must be an internal response arranged by the Moon Base!
Thinking of this, the commander loyal to Washington immediately ordered the troops to retake the command center, but he also did not forget to guard against friendly forces with unknown positions - there must be more than one troop deployed at the moon base!
As expected, as soon as the troops here made a gesture to retake the command center, other troops started to intercept. The two sides fired. It is not known who fired first. Anyway, it was a gunshot, and the two sides immediately fought to the death.
However, something surprising happened. The interceptor force used not rifles, but light bugs!
