Vault 32

Chapter 187
The conventional technology level of this world is between the previous life, probably in the mid-70s to the early 80s. If you don’t consider the world’s biotechnology, nuclear weapon research and development, and the black technology of intelligent AI systems, it is almost weaker than that of the earth in the previous life. It is simply a third world country.

The continuation of World War II thinking and Cold War thinking has made the current world deformed and weird. Whether it is technology or people's livelihood, it is surprising incoherence.If we compare the world of this life with the world of the previous life, I am afraid that whether it is the economic level, the mode of war, or even the weapons and equipment on the battlefield, the world of the previous life is in a state of crushing.

After all, the weapons and equipment of the 21st century in the previous life have developed to a certain bottleneck, and conventional weapons have reached the level of abnormality.Although there are no black technologies in this world, the development of these technologies, which are almost obscene, can't help much on the battlefield of large-scale combat.

Just like the Soviet-made anti-personnel landmines deployed by Canada on the snowy ground, landmine detectors have been invented for the metal shells as early as World War II. In addition, it is equipped with an extremely large number of metal mines, and a specific metal detector has been developed.

The 200 credits have been consumed, and two metal detectors have appeared on the snow in front of Liszt. Carl and another marine next to him walked over carefully, carried the two small objects on their backs, and stretched out their hands at the same time. Holding the two-meter-long pole, I shook it a few times on the snow in front of me, then nodded solemnly and said, "This thing is very effective."

"That group of Canadians probably wouldn't have imagined that there would be advanced landmine detectors that could deal with their minefields."

He lifted the backpack-like object behind him with his hand. This is the battery and data analyzer of the metal detector, which can independently judge whether it is a traditional landmine.Moreover, the front end of the long rod-shaped object in the hand, the thin disk with more than a dozen small protrusions, also carries a keen electromagnetic detection element, not to mention the mines under the snow layer, even if they are buried deep underground. Metal bombs that are more than half a meter long can also be easily distinguished.

Carl also held the detection rod in his hand, and centered on him two meters forward, slowly swept the snow layer in front of him, and at the same time took two steps forward cautiously, there was a crisp beeping sound at the edge, and The red warning light on the metal detector instantly changed his face, and he couldn't help turning his head and frowning: "The minefield they set up doesn't seem to be dense."

"In winter in the Rocky Mountains, not many people dare to appear in this cold winter day."

Shaking his head, Liszt also walked forward. At the same time, he reached out and took off the Winchester from the back. He held it in his hand and looked at the surrounding environment vigilantly. However, he looked at the two snowmobiles behind him. He also frowned with some pity and said: "Next, we will no longer be able to rely on these two reliable guys."

Karl and the other two members of the Marine Corps also nodded helplessly, but they still glanced at each other, and carefully pulled the dead branches of the surrounding bushes to cover them in the snow that was not considered big by the two vehicles. There is a lot of snow on the motorcycle, and it seems to be integrated into this white forest in the distance, which is not real.

The white snowmobile plus a little snow, just wait for half an hour, and it will be completely buried by the wind and snow blowing from the sky.And Liszt looked at the vehicle that had been simply hidden, nodded, and gestured towards Carl and the two marines, identified the direction, and said slowly: "Let's go."

The snow up to the calf also brought a cold feeling. Carl and the Marine were also cautious in detecting mines. They were not moving fast, but they were extremely careful.And as long as there is the sound of a mine being detected along the road, a seemingly unintentional shrub branch will be inserted on it. As long as there is no Canadian patrol to check the minefield, then their lurking plan is quite perfect.

But looking at the heavy snow falling from the sky, and the layer of snow that barely even covered with combat boots, one could tell that those Canadians were probably still warming themselves up to the warm fire in the camp, enjoying the joyful atmosphere from the towns.Who would have thought that Americans would appear in this small town that has been guarded for more than two months without any abnormality?

But Liszt and the others really appeared. They carefully walked through the minefield of about 500 meters. Standing in the sparse forest, they looked at the standard brick and wood buildings on the flat land outside. The houses are neatly arranged there.And there are even smoke rising in the snowflakes in the chimneys on the top of many houses.

Karl couldn't help but frown slightly, put down the detection rod in his hand, and took a few steps forward. Looking at the house covered in heavy snow, the cold air made him spit hard to the side, and coldly snorted: "It seems that these dear Canadian brothers are really quite comfortable here."

"The snow is very thick. I am afraid that the road has not been cleaned since the heavy snow began."

A member of the Marine Corps also carefully walked forward with a rifle in hand, bent over and half-kneeled behind a bush, but reached out and pressed the snow layer on the edge of the road in front of him, Looking at the depth of the snow, he couldn't help but shook his head and said, "According to observation, we haven't found any patrols or sentry posts. If you don't consider the secret posts, their defenses are very lax."

"Perhaps it wasn't expected?"

Liszt reached out and took out the telescope behind him, and at the same time pulled away the windshield on his face, and borrowed the high-magnification lens to look towards the houses not far away.A standard Western-style single-family apartment with brick and wood structure, but this is not the target of his attention. When he moved the telescope, his eyes immediately looked at the houses where the smoke rose, but his brows became more and more furrowed: "Although Knowing that Canadians are weak, it doesn't seem right to be so lax."

But his gaze was slightly fixed, and his eyes followed the telescope and found a bulge covered by heavy snow at a house.Swallowing slowly, Liszt's mind was full of doubts, but his eyes widened in an instant, looking at the bulge slightly covered by the heavy snow, and finally formed a hole in his mind. The complete pattern made him couldn't help but grit his teeth and said: "The remains of the upper body of a human being?"

In his eyes, in front of the closed door of a house, heavy snow has covered the object.It seems that it has been a long time, but Liszt can still clearly see that, except for the part covered by snow, it is clearly a half-human corpse with no lower body and still stretching out its hands to grab something forward!
