Armor-piercing bullets don't believe in carbon-based monsters

Chapter 237 How could there be no rockets at the Rocket Force base?
"One ran away, and there is another one."

"Distance 15 kilometers, scale 363, direction 3351, grenade instantaneous fuse fully charged."

"put."

"Correct the parameters."

"Put the medicine away."

“3, 2, 1, release!”

"Hit."

"Third shot, fire!"

With the explosion of the nuclear bomb, the two monsters that were originally moving slowly towards the Imperial Capital City instantly went into a state of frenzy.

One of them turned around and ran away, while the other one ran towards the imperial capital as if it had lost its mind.

Different choices lead to different outcomes.

The monster that escaped managed to survive, but the one that didn't escape collapsed to the ground under the precise bombardment of three grenades, becoming a useless dessert in this feast.

The smell of gunpowder was faint in the imperial city, but those powerful and terrifying monsters were definitely dead.

When Chen Jian walked down the city wall, the people who were still immersed in shocked ecstasy suddenly became quiet.

Countless eyes were focused on the members of this special team. Perhaps at this moment they were racking their brains to think of what words they should use to praise the achievements of this team and to express their respect, but the shock that far exceeded their cognitive limits also broke through the limits of their ability to express themselves.

Finally, in the silence, Chen Jian led his team to the Holy Blood Temple.

The crowded crowd slowly split open a wide passage in front of them, like the Red Sea split open by divine power.

Chen Jian said nothing and walked towards the "Holy Father" Lin Shen who had been waiting on the other side of the sea.

"it's over?"

There was a slight tremor in Lin Shen's voice.

"ended."

Chen Jian nodded slightly.

Lin Shen let out a long breath and asked again:

“Will they come again?”

"Hard to say."

Chen Jian shook his head and replied:
“But I think it won’t come back in the short term.”

"These monsters are controlled by some kind of force. This is also the question I want to ask you."

"If you came to the imperial capital from Chang'an 150 years ago, did your so-called 'holy scriptures' ever mention the truth about these monsters?"

"No."

Lin Shen replied:
"At least in our records, no one knows where the monster came from, nor is there any information indicating what force controls the monster."

"It's like they appeared out of nowhere, and we don't even know when they appeared."

"The only thing we can be sure of is that the monsters had already appeared long before we returned to the imperial capital."

"The split between the Holy Blood and the Academy was also due to the disagreement on strategies for dealing with monsters."

"The first leader of the Holy Blood Temple seemed to have foreseen the emergence of the beast tide, but unfortunately, at that time, even the academy had declined to the limit and did not leave much reliable information."

"So if you're asking those questions... I have very little information to give you."

"But perhaps, with your abilities, you can find some answers from the classics."

"Not urgent."

Chen Jian waved his hand and then said:

"To be honest, the answer is not that important to us anymore."

"The first group of survivors solved the biggest crisis for us before knowledge was completely lost. That's enough."

"Next, all we have to do is to quickly eliminate the monsters that can still pose a threat to humans, continue exploring, and find out the truth about the secondary disaster."

"But we don't need to rush."

"Come on, what we need to discuss now is the issue of migration."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Jian took the lead and walked into the hall behind Lin Shen.

In the hall, the celebratory food and drinks had been laid out, and Chen Jian did not pretend to be sentimental and ordered them to be removed. Instead, he sat down without hesitation and ate and drank with his team members while discussing the next plan with Lin Shen.

As Lin Shen said before, the two biggest limiting factors for completing large-scale migration are food and safety.

Now that security has been guaranteed, the most pressing issue facing everyone that needs to be resolved is the food problem.

In today's world, there is no food reserve like the world Chen Jian is familiar with. Due to the difficulty of barter transactions and the lack of centralized authority, the entire world is barely maintaining its survival line.

Even in the richest imperial capital, the food reserves of most civilians would not exceed two months.

These foods can support them to reach Jinling, but how to survive after arriving in Jinling is another problem.

"According to your proposed first phase migration plan, we need to prepare at least enough food for 8 people for eight months."

"To be honest, even if we squeeze Jinling City and the surrounding areas dry, we still can't get this much food."

"This is no longer a question of whether to trade or not, this is purely a question of productivity."

"You can't just rely on us, you have to find a way yourself."

"I see."

Lin Shen swallowed the wine in his mouth and then replied:

"I will issue an order in the name of the Holy Blood Basilica, requiring Liaodong, Ulanqab, Songzhou and other places further north to organize large-scale hunting and store as much food as possible."

"If all goes well, we will be able to store enough food to last 3 people for three months before summer arrives."

"In addition, we will also exchange all the unnecessary supplies for food, perhaps we can exchange for one month's worth of food."

"This should greatly reduce your stress, but this is the limit of what we can do."

"That means we still have at least four months of food deficit to fill."

Chen Jian knocked on the table subconsciously, and then asked:

"Fuxi, how long can the current food reserves of Fortification 095 and Fortification 011 support a population of about ?"

"74 days."

Fuxi's voice sounded in the headphones.

"Great, there's only less than two months left."

Chen Jian nodded with satisfaction:
“To be honest, this has gone a little smoother than I thought it would.”

"According to optimistic estimates, the two-month food gap should not be difficult to make up through trading, hunting and production."

"Even if we take into account the new refugees and urban residents who may join along the way, with our current production capacity, we should be able to barely cover them."

"The plan can go ahead."

Chen Jian stood up and continued:

"No matter what force controls the beast tide, from the information we have, their target is quite clear."

"The first cities to be hit were the imperial capital, Chang'an, and Jinling."

"The situation in the imperial capital is very dangerous. The people here must leave first."

"As for other towns, we can wait a bit."

"Notify the residents here and prepare to relocate."

"We will set out on time at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning."

"The first group of residents to migrate, come with us!"

As Chen Jian finished speaking, Lin Shen also stood up.

Then, he bowed slightly and said in a slightly "respectful" tone:

"Yes."

"I'll do it right away."

At the same time, southeast of the Huangshan ruins, Shen Yue led the team through the dense jungle, trying hard to find the road that had been covered long ago.

This task was not easy. After all, all he could rely on was his slightly vague memory. Even Fuxi didn't know the exact location of what he was looking for.

But fortunately, his luck was not bad.

After killing several level four monsters in succession, he finally found the two familiar mountains.

Then, looking down along the canyon between the mountain peaks, he finally found the vaguely visible base.

It's right there.

The long journey made Shen Yue physically and mentally exhausted, but at this moment, he could finally get a little respite.

"Fuxi, I have located the location of Base 61."

"Plan entry routes and organize drone reconnaissance."

"clear."

Fuxi's voice sounded in the headset, and Shen Yue waved his hand, signaling the team members to rest on the spot.

He sat down on the ground, unscrewed the kettle and took a gulp of the warm water that had been heated and was now gradually cooling down.

"call"

After letting out a long breath, Shen Yue asked again:
"How's the progress over there, Captain?"

"The nuclear bomb has been successfully detonated, and the plan for population migration to the south is being discussed."

"They will set out on time at six o'clock tomorrow morning and return to Jinling."

"If everything goes well on the way, it is expected to arrive within two weeks."

"Two weeks?"

Shen Yue was slightly surprised.

“Can such a large team arrive within two weeks?”

"Commander He Shao has already communicated with the Mechanicus, and they will meet us along the way."

"The first batch of migrants will be around 500 people, and if vehicles can be used on most roads, two weeks is a relatively ideal time."

"clear."

Shen Yue switched to the drone's reconnaissance perspective. Through the image presented by the smart eyepiece, he clearly saw the outline of this base that he had been to before but had now become extremely unfamiliar to him.

"Aerial reconnaissance has been completed. No abnormal heat signatures were found. No abnormal optical signatures were found. No vegetation or terrain changes were found."

"Preliminary judgment: it is safe ahead."

"Then let's go!"

At Shen Yue's command, everyone immediately started moving.

At this point, the road from their location to the base was completely covered with vegetation, making it impossible for vehicles to pass.

So, after ordering two people to stay behind to guard the equipment, he decisively led the team deep into the jungle.

Compared with the long journey from Jinling 011 Base to Huangshan, the last section of the journey to the destination of this mission was quite easy for them.

In just less than an hour and a half, Shen Yue had already stepped into the gate of the base.

In the collapsed sentry box, a rotten piece of clothing covered the white bones.

As he passed by, Shen Yue nodded to the skeleton.

He didn't know why he did this, it was probably just an instinctive reaction.

Moving forward, according to his vague memory, Shen Yue found a reference object in the dense forest.

The missiles that had been erected and ready to launch pierced the treetops unyieldingly, supporting the entire sky like giant steel trees.

Under their majestic shadows, Shen Yue's pace became faster and faster.

Finally, he saw the entrance that was covered by dense vines.

"Explode!"

It was Shen Yue who gave the order decisively.

"clear."

Fuxi's voice sounded, and then a vanguard robot came forward to deploy explosives. A moment later, accompanied by a loud explosion, the entrance suddenly opened.

But then, what appeared before everyone was a heavy isolation door.

The entrance to the underground nuclear arsenal is here.

How to open?

The power system here has been completely paralyzed. If the isolation door is locked from the inside, Shen Yue has no way to open it.

He walked forward with a frown, intending to take a look at the specific situation of the isolation door behind the smoke that had not yet dissipated.

But at this moment, he suddenly realized that all his worries were unnecessary.

The door is open.

Shen Yue gestured and asked everyone to follow him into the door.

Going all the way down, the layout here is not much different from the underground hangar layout of the 10th Air Division base.

The bottom level should be the nuclear arsenal here.

Shen Yue's heartbeat gradually began to speed up.

Although he knew that Chen Jian had obtained enough nuclear weapons, he couldn't help but get excited when he realized that he was about to open another treasure trove that represented the ultimate power with his own hands.

As we went down, the stale smell gradually became stronger.

Through the perspective of the thermal fusion night vision goggles, Shen Yue saw one piece of equipment after another that had long been covered in dust and decayed, but still standing.

He couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

Time is ultimately an invincible enemy.

What he really wants to find, perhaps, no longer exists?

His heartbeat gradually began to calm down, and Shen Yue had already reached the bottom of the underground fortifications.

A completely independent sealed armory suddenly appeared before his eyes, and the door locked with a mechanical structure was still firmly guarding the heavy weapons behind the door.

This is the last step.

Without the need for a password, Shen Yue turned the locking device of the door.

Then, along the rusty track, the gate slowly opened.

Air rushed in and light shone into the warehouse. Shen Yue saw at a glance the independent storage cabinets used to store nuclear weapons.

That's what you're looking for.
-
But now, his attention has been drawn to something more conspicuous.

It was a pile of huge cargo boxes roughly stacked in the middle of the warehouse.

He had a vague idea of what was inside.

So he led everyone forward and unlocked the locks of the closed cargo boxes one by one.

It was obviously at least a semi-vacuum environment inside. Under the strong atmospheric pressure, everyone worked together and with the assistance of combat robots, they barely opened the cargo box.

The wind whistled and Shen Yue took a step back.

The Chinese soldier standing next to him looked at the contents of the cargo box curiously. He didn't understand what this thing made up of dense and complex pipelines was.

"Captain, is this the nuclear weapon we are looking for?"

"No."

Shen Yue shook his head.

After a pause, he said:
"This is a rocket that was taken apart and preserved."

“That’s what I said.”

"How could there be no rockets in the Rocket Force base?"
