Devouring the Star: Age of Cataclysm

Chapter 13 Shelter!

The sky will be bright.

At the end of a somewhat desolate abandoned road, two points of light can be seen approaching from afar.

After a while, the road was illuminated by two dazzling headlights. As the wheels rolled over the asphalt road, they were getting closer and closer to the human base.

Around the shelter stood four giant iron towers tens of meters high.

When Lin Ye approached the area, a thick searchlight from one of the tall towers directly covered the car body.

"The license plate is YuA7007C, it's Mr. Lin Ye!"

The lights flickered, and Lin Ye confirmed his identity again using the language of the lights.

Boom! ! !
The huge alloy-forged city gate opened from the inside out.

Tatata! ! !
The sound of combat boots hitting the ground was heard, and a team of eighteen people wearing black combat uniforms rushed out of the shelter and formed two rows.

The leading team leader looked at the extremely handsome young man in the cab, his face suddenly lit up, and he saluted Lin Ye with a standard military salute:
"Welcome back Mr. Lin Ye!"

"Welcome Mr. Lin Ye!" x17.

"Yeah!" Lin Ye nodded in response.

Under the crowd's almost fanatical gaze of awe, Lin Ye drove through the steel wall covered with various artillery and entered Shelter No. 057.

This is not the first time Lin Ye has come to the shelter.

After his parents passed away, Lin Ye entered many shelters.

He also saw with his own eyes those shelters turned into ruins by the beast tide, and countless civilians, soldiers, and warriors died there...

057 Shelter.

As a high-level shelter under the jurisdiction of the South Bank Fortress of Shancheng City, the safety factor has always been very high.

Its original form was a prosperous town, only a hundred kilometers away from the main urban area of ​​Shancheng City.

But after the sudden disaster, the earth was devastated, species mutated and monsters ran rampant, and people's living environment became extremely harsh.

Human civilization and order are crumbling under numerous crises.

This once prosperous town has also been trampled and ravaged by beasts time and time again.

Thanks to the timely action of the Daxia military, this important place was recaptured before the large-scale beast tide arrived and a shelter was established here.

Later, it will cooperate with the two major fortresses of Nan'an and Jiangbei to protect the peace of the mountain city.

However, due to its unique geographical characteristics, the living environment in mountain cities cannot have a good floor area ratio like other plain areas.

Lin Ye drove along the simple but clean streets. On both sides were temporary wooden houses and even tents.

It was very similar to the situation Lin Ye encountered in his previous life when he was hit by an earthquake and mudslide.

However, the situation currently faced by the Great Xia Kingdom and even the whole world is countless times worse than a natural disaster.

Rows of wooden houses are connected to tents.

There was little light in the entire area, only the flickering candlelight and the glow of burning wood.

The price of electricity is very expensive during the catastrophe. Whether it is a shelter, a fortress or a main city’s defense system, it all uses electricity as energy.

With the increase in shelters and fortresses, the country's demand for electricity is huge.

At this time, many heads popped out from the windows and doors, looking at Lin Ye cautiously, sizing up the person who entered the shelter.

"It's the warrior brother!!"

"It's Brother Lin Ye!"

I don't know who shouted first, but then the whole shelter was like a boiling pot.

“Brother Lin Ye!!”

“Big Brother Lin Ye!!”

"Big brother!"

……

Waves of childish shouts rang out.

Then, groups of children ranging in age from three to twelve years old came out of the room and ran towards the SUV.

Opening the door and getting out of the car, Lin Ye looked at this group of young children with deep eyes.

"Brother Lin Ye, can you tell us the story of the wilderness this time?" "Yes, what happened to our hometown now?"

Suddenly, Lin Ye felt the corner of his clothes being gently pulled.

He lowered his head slightly and found two little girls, only three or four years old, standing in front of him.

They were wearing washed-out skirts, their eyes widened, and they asked in baby voices, "Brother Lin Ye, when can we go home?"

Hearing this question, Lin Ye's heart twitched slightly and he did not answer directly.

He took out a compressed biscuit from his pocket, bent down and handed it to the little girl: "Your hometown is sick, and the soldiers and warrior uncles are treating it... When you grow up, you can go back."

"I wish I could grow up quickly!" The little girl's voice was soft and weak, but her eyes were shining with hope when she looked at Lin Ye.

Lin Ye shook his head and smiled: "It's better not to grow up."

"Big brother, do you believe that I will be this tall when I wake up tomorrow?"

One of the children stood on tiptoe and put his hands higher than his head.

Lin Ye smiled and said nothing.

Another child raised his hands and jumped a little: "I can grow this tall too!"

"Little girl...grow up slowly, don't be anxious. Sooner or later, you will all grow this tall."

Lin Ye walked up to the child, raised his hand, gestured at his forehead, lowered his head and said softly: "When the time comes, all the monsters will be destroyed, and you can go home!"

He raised his head.

Looking at the innocent children in front of me, my heart is filled with infinite emotion.

This... is probably the meaning of the frontline soldiers and warriors fighting monsters to the death without hesitation!

At this moment, Lin Ye remembered a sentence said by a marshal in his previous life -

"Living in this era, sacrifice is the price we must pay. If we don't pay, then our sons and grandsons will have to pay."

"Yeah!" A group of children surrounded him and nodded vigorously.

Without thinking too much, Lin Ye called a few adults over.

He took down several large pieces of flesh and blood of soldier-level monsters from the car and told them to add them to the children's meal.

Looking at the children with envious faces, Lin Ye's eyes were a little complicated.

The sudden arrival of the virus caused species to mutate, and terrifying monsters emerged, impacting and destroying the existing social order.

Children who should be playing freely and studying happily in school.

But they have to stay in the shelter like refugees, worried all day long.

Due to the threat of mutant viruses and terrifying beasts, the original social order is on the verge of collapse...

Education, business, entertainment and culture have all suffered fatal blows under the influence of the beast tide.

Except for a few large cities like Kyoto that have not been affected by the beast tide, the rest of the cities in Daxia are threatened by monsters.

At this moment, it was about a hundred meters above the shelter.

A group of huge bird-like monsters flew over from a distance.
Each of them had a huge body of more than ten meters, and they rushed straight towards the shelter like small fighter jets.

Zizizi! !

However, just as they approached, a blue arc suddenly erupted.

Flashes of lightning as high as one hundred thousand volts flashed and exploded.

Crackling! !
In an instant, all the flying monsters that wanted to rush into the shelter were burned into flames.

For a moment, fire burst out.

All the flying monsters were electrocuted until they were burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, and they turned into charcoal and fell straight down.

Lin Ye took all of this in silently and didn't say much.

The shelters and fortresses in the Age of Cataclysm are the last refuge for humanity.

If even the shelters and fortresses are breached, then humanity will completely lose hope...

After calming the children's emotions.

Lin Ye continued driving towards the military headquarters building.
