The Walking Dead: Rebuild

Chapter 100 Underground Shelter (Please subscribe, it’s so miserable)

boom! boom! boom!
boom! boom! boom!
There was continuous gunfire at the steel passage outside the Fort Benning Fortress. Hundreds of soldiers holding pistols fired at the zombies in the cages from a distance of two to three meters, performing precise headshots. attack.

At such a short distance, almost every bullet can take away the life of a zombie. They are crowded in a cage made of welded steel pipes and steel bars, in vain squeezing their rotten and dilapidated faces into the gaps that are more than ten centimeters wide. , trying to break out of the confinement of steel to eat the fresh flesh and blood they crave most, almost tearing the entire face of flesh into a mess.

It was now close to four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and even the sun began to shrink its light. Five or six hours of shooting and carrying corpses made everyone feel exhausted.

The bottom of the steel channel has long been dyed black and red by plasma and minced meat. The viscous liquid gathered into a stream of water, flowing slowly, forming a shallow puddle in the low-lying area, and some swayed their bodies. When the zombie stepped on it, it was already up to his ankles
Outside the passage, Leon was holding a camera to record all this. On the flat ground not far away, tens of thousands of corpses of zombies had already piled up like a mountain. Dozens of workers wore gloves, protective clothing and masks to remove these corpses, It was carried on a large truck and arranged neatly like cargo.

These corpses will be transported to a valley more than ten kilometers away for burial, allowing these miserable people to return to nature.

Another half hour passed, and fewer and fewer zombies rushed out of the fortress gate. Peggy, who was at the command post next to him, also said:
"Boss, these should be the last batch. Even if there are still sporadic zombies in the ground fortress, they must be trapped in some remote corners and cannot come out. It is difficult for them to pose a threat to us again."

Leon nodded. He had not taken action this afternoon. Instead, he held an assault rifle in his hand, always guarding against accidents and protecting the safety of the soldiers under his command.

Killing zombies on such a large scale created an inevitable sense of numbness in everyone's senses and psychology.

"Thank you for your hard work, but you two can't rest tonight. You still need to crack the code of the door to the underground base. Wait, I will send someone to connect the backup power supply, and I will protect you personally. Working overtime all night."

When Sherman heard that he had to work overtime, he immediately became depressed. Although his sister Peggy yawned a little tiredly, she still looked at Leon with joy and asked:
"Boss, are you staying with us tonight?"

"Yes, I will stay here with a hundred soldiers to prevent other life-or-death forces from disrupting our plans."

The task of baiting had been completed. The Peggy siblings no longer needed to control the armed mechanical dogs, so they relaxed and chatted with Leon with interest.

About ten minutes later, Frank's voice came from the intercom.

"Custer, is our mission completed?"

Leon could hear some frustration in his voice, but he did not ask more questions, but replied:
"Yes, today's mission is completed."

"You guys should come back and fix it up. You may have to continue exploring the underground area tomorrow."

When Iron Wolf Frank walked out of the fortress with a dozen subordinates, Leon probably guessed why his voice sounded a little depressed.

In the morning, he went in with 20 soldiers, but now, there were only 17 people following him out, and each soldier's face was a little gloomy.

After Iron Wolf Frank led these soldiers out of the steel fence, he took off his military uniform stained with zombie flesh and blood, threw it on the grass aside, came to Leon, met his eyes, and said proactively:
"A few soldiers lost control of their emotions when they saw their relatives turned into zombies, and were discovered by the zombies."

"It's a pity that they died. We saw with our own eyes that their bodies were hollowed out by hundreds of zombies."

As he spoke, Frank sighed.

"They were all very brave soldiers who fought with me from New York State to here and were never afraid of fighting."

Leon was not good at comforting others, so he could only say something lightly.

"Condolences."

Frank nodded, looked at Leon seriously, and said:
"Your method is very good, Custer. I originally expected to sacrifice dozens of soldiers, but I didn't expect that because of your plan, our casualties were greatly reduced."

"On behalf of my soldiers, thank you!" Leon accepted Frank's thanks unceremoniously. He came to clean up the military base at Fort Benning in such a hurry. Indeed, a large part of the reason was because of the promise he made with Frank the Iron Wolf. .

He patted Frank on the shoulder. This strong man endured a gunshot wound to his abdomen, risked his death at any time, and worked all afternoon among the zombies. He was indeed a very capable soldier.

"Take your soldiers to rest, Frank. I have brought you enough tents and food. Have a good rest and prepare for the next battle."

"When our people open the door to the underground base, I will let you know."

Frank was very aware of his physical condition. He did not force it, but called his adjutant Matt and ordered him to stay with Leon throughout the process and listen to his orders.

He took the soldiers to the rest area arranged by Lyon.

That night, Leon led more than 100 soldiers and the Peggy siblings into the interior of the fortress to rest. He did not relax his vigilance. Not only did he arrange many sentries, he also sent people to keep an eye on the resting place where Frank and others were to guard against them. What kind of tricks are you playing?

After entering the fortress this time, Lyon seriously observed the fortress for the first time.

The ground building of the fortress is divided into three floors, with many areas connected around it. It has thick stone walls, a stable structure, few windows exposed to the outside, and various defensive buildings everywhere for easy defense.

The first floor is some fortifications to resist attacks by ground troops. Various public facilities such as canteens, bathrooms, and lounges are built inside.

The second floor contains various large and small offices, conference rooms and reception halls for handling official business.

The third floor is the infantry command center. Not only does it have a variety of advanced equipment that Lyon cannot name, a huge screen, and a sand table for deduction, he also found the clearest map of the entire America here, which records all the information in the country. Human towns and routes of action.

The defenses on this level are extremely strong. Not only are various anti-aircraft turrets, long-range missiles, and various large and small long-range artillery arranged in various areas, there are also many installed near the edge of the outer wall. With a lot of heavy machine guns, it is a real war fortress to defend against the attacks of the ground troops.

Lyon suspected that once the machine guns and artillery here opened fire together, the firepower here might be able to wipe out a town with a population of thousands in an instant.

Unfortunately, most of the artillery devices here require professional personnel to operate them. Judging from the quality of survivors in the current apocalyptic era, if they had not entered a professional military academy to study, these powerful weapons would have been basically scrapped. .

With such emotion, Leon came to the entrance of the underground base, a huge metal door with a very technological sense hidden in a huge room.

According to Lieutenant Matt, this is only a relatively basic defensive door. The main material is a 30 cm thick alloy plate, which can defend against almost all heavy firearm attacks.

But his defense isn't particularly strong either.Even if the code of the door cannot be cracked, the door can be cut directly with a high-temperature oxygen cutting machine.

In the core shelter located on the 5th floor underground, both the walls and the door are equipped with a defense level that can protect against nuclear bomb-level attacks. Basically, no means known to mankind can destroy the defense there from the outside.

Apart from deciphering the program inside the gate, it is only possible to open the gate from inside the shelter.

After listening to Matt's explanation, Leon suddenly felt speechless. Since the stupid method of oxygen cutting can be used, why didn't you say it earlier.

Anyway, there is no shortage of these resources and time now, so it is better to let the Peggy siblings take a good rest, recharge their batteries, and focus all their energy on the final shelter door.

He immediately stopped the work of the two siblings and arranged for them to rest. Then through a communication, more than 10 workers with oxygen cutting technology were transferred from the logistics staff who had just returned to the canning factory to let them Bring all the equipment and come over immediately to get started.

Anyway, they can't help much in combat missions, so working overtime is not a bad thing.
