Vault 32

Chapter 24 Communication
A strong smell of blood has filled the air in front of the supermarket with the opened door, Sofitel's face changed slightly, he gently sniffed the air that already had a clear smell of blood, but his face could not bear it. Can't stop changing.At that time, he had already confirmed that Company F had given up all its heavy equipment and left the small town, but how could more than 20 corpses of Company F soldiers be found in this supermarket, which was regarded as a temporary stronghold?

"A soldier from Company F?"

Bunar's complexion was not good, and he couldn't even maintain his previous solemnity.The more than 20 soldiers killed inside were all members of his troops. As the supreme commander of the 16th Mechanized Brigade, he must be responsible for these more than 20 young soldiers.Gritting his teeth slightly, Buner walked into the supermarket first, and at the same time turned his head to Soest and said, "Arrange the use of the flares, and then ask someone to settle the boys inside decently."

Slowly nodding, Sofitel also handed the backpack to the deputy company commander next to him with a gloomy face, and then quickly followed. F Company was also their ally, and they were all closer together in one unit, and they even had many friends with each other.But now their friends may be lying in it, which is even worse for the entire E company.

"Is this the calm before the storm?"

Pursing his parched mouth, Liszt threw the flare gun to the frowning deputy company commander with an extremely dignified face.However, he didn't turn around and entered the supermarket, took a deep breath, and didn't care about the strong smell of blood and the smell of gunpowder caused by the gunfire next to him, but let the smell puff his lungs like smoking the most mellow cigarette Fill it up, and then exhale slowly, as if releasing all the anxiety in his heart: "It's really ridiculous." He gritted his teeth slowly.

The afterglow of the flare still hung more than 20 meters in the sky. It slowly fell down at a slow speed, but it illuminated the surrounding distance of hundreds of meters as clearly as day.Liszt squinted slightly and looked into the depths of the woods and bushes. The looming Death Claw seemed to know that this area was heavily guarded, and for a while there was no movement.Only an M249 light machine gun a few meters away was still firing tentatively. It fired three consecutive bursts, sending a piece of sawdust flying among the bushes and groves.

But this kind of aimless long burst is more of a deterrent, and it is also a catharsis for one's own fear.And for the group of deathclaws whose hunting instincts were deliberately left behind by scientists, this kind of burst shooting is like a joke.The deathclaw with a strong physique and tenacious vitality, let alone this kind of 5mm light machine gun bullet, as long as it is not a vital point, even if it is hit by a few rounds of 56mm large-caliber heavy machine gun bullets, it can completely withstand it!

"Sir, I have taken out all the flares, here is your backpack."

Just as Liszt was deep in thought, the deputy company commander next to him had already taken out all the flares from his backpack, and at the same time handed over the flare gun to a soldier who was usually very cautious.However, he did not continue to use flares. Instead, he ordered all the soldiers to gather the tactical flashlights in their hands, forming dazzling beams of light, scanning the open area around the supermarket to reduce the frequency of using flares.At the same time, he handed the backpack back to Liszt, and said gratefully, "I really appreciate these flares. I really don't know how we would face those damned monsters at night without them."

"They are not that difficult to deal with. The high-density firepower can also turn them into a pile of minced meat. They are all flesh and blood. At least we can crush them with technology."

Reaching out to take the backpack handed over, Liszt took out two energy bars, threw one to the deputy company commander, and then opened the package and stuffed it into his mouth.After traveling here for a period of time, his physical strength has gradually reached a critical point, and this kind of energy bar specially made with a bitter taste tastes bad, but it can quickly restore physical strength, and it also belongs to the logistics of the army. essentials.Swallowing all the residue in his mouth, the bitter taste made Liszt's eyebrows frowned, he couldn't help but shook his head and said: "This thing is as bad as a dog." But he also said Laughed: "Of course I have never eaten dog shi, and I don't know what it tastes like."

Facing Liszt's joke, the surrounding soldiers who were guarding carefully heard it and couldn't help laughing, but seeing the staring eyes of the deputy company commander who was not good at joking, they also quickly moved He refocused his eyes on the area swept by the tactical flashlight, looking cautious.But their actions added a bit of embarrassment, and the more staid deputy company commander quickly explained: "Well... this is also to avoid eating energy bars as snacks during non-combat time because they are too delicious. , After all, it is the request of the supplier manufacturer authorized by the U.S. federal government."

"Mr. Lister, General Buner and Captain Soest need you to go over."

Just as the two were still chatting, a soldier pushed open the door and came out. After seeing Liszt, a smile appeared on his face, and he quickly reported to his superiors: "General Buner seems to have discovered What, I hope you can go over and discuss." After his order was conveyed, he looked at Liszt's eyes with a bright light, and he said eagerly: "Mr. ?"

"Perhaps so."

After touching his nose slightly, Liszt suddenly felt like he had returned to his company.The recruits he led looked at him with eager eyes when they faced thousands of Mexican guerrillas.But Liszt slowly shifted his eyes to other places, and just said comfortingly: "It depends on the efforts of all of us." He slowly opened the door and walked in. He still remembered the scene when the recruit died in pain with his eyes open. Face, even though he tried his best, he still couldn't save him from surviving.

Pushing open the glass door of the supermarket, most of the corpses on the middle shelf have been sorted out, and there are still many soldiers from Company E carrying the corpses with sad faces.In other words, a bunch of stumps were wrapped in a cloth. The group of corpses seemed to have been simply spliced ​​together, but when they continued to carry them, blood and internal organs were mixed together. The smell of blood made the entire supermarket as terrifying as a slaughterhouse.

Liszt held his breath for a while, the strong smell of blood still made him a little uncomfortable, especially the countless human body stumps were on the ground, so he couldn't help but look in other directions.This is the instinct of human beings. When they see the mutilated corpses of the same kind, they will involuntarily feel sadness and fear in their hearts.But the army soldiers around are similar, they are all lying on the windows and holding the M4A1 assault rifles in their hands, carefully guarding. Even the soldiers carrying the corpses are looking in other directions, trying not to look at the poor dead comrades.

Of course, he also saw the livid faces of Old Buhner and Sofitel. Liszt frowned slightly, but the uneasiness in his heart rose more and more.Liszt walked over. Old Buner didn't say much nonsense, and directly handed him a piece of white paper with a series of characters written on it. He said hoarsely, "This is the message my deputy brigade commander left me."

"information?"

A few words were written hastily on the white paper, and it could be seen that the writer seemed to be quite urgent at the time, and even some spelled phrases were abbreviated.But Liszt couldn't help narrowing his eyes slightly. He carefully looked at the phrases left on it, and the anxiety in his heart seemed to make his head fall into chaos. Said: "Is this why you left the headquarters?"

The meaning above is probably an urgent notice from the Federal Command, asking the old Buner to go half a block away to hand over the commander of the Army's 9th Mechanized Infantry Division and 1st Combat Brigade who had entered the city before.But after Old Buner left, the Federal Command actually asked the deputy brigade commander to take over the command, give up all heavy weapons and equipment, and immediately lead all the troops out of the city.It was precisely because of this order that the deputy brigade commander became suspicious, but he could only leave a message here in a hurry, and the death claw attack encountered during the retreat, and temporarily placed the bodies of the dead here. , waiting for a later opportunity to rebury.

"It's really not that simple."

Slowly lowering his head, Liszt looked at the words left on the white paper, and even looked back and forth several times before raising his head to look at Old Buhner.The old general's face was also ashen. Under his gray hair, a pair of eagle-eyed eyes were staring at the white paper, and his fists were already tightly clenched, obviously suppressing extremely violent anger in his heart. .

Old Bunar's anger did not erupt directly, because a small activation symbol suddenly appeared on the instrument placed next to him.At the same time, with a slight vibration, there was a rhythmic crisp sound.The soldier captain who had been following Old Buhner was taken aback for a moment, then widened his eyes to look at Old Buhner and Sofitel, and said in surprise, "This is the communication recovery?"

PS: Today's update is a bit late. I didn't expect the second update to take so long. I'm really sorry.It seems that I will try to try the fourth update tomorrow, but I don't think it is possible... Ahem, someone actually voted for 12000 votes, it's really greedy... But everyone will find that my book is not the same as the real world before the fallout war Similarly, let me explain it here. After all, it is a novel, and it involves many sensitive places. Just imagine that the Soviet Union is China.And the Battle of the Volga River that will appear later, cough cough, let it be regarded as the same thing as the Battle of the Yangtze River.By the way, I also set the pre-war world view to be similar to the current one. It is not that the pre-radiation world changed after World War II is exactly the same. In fact, the difference is not too big. It is easier to write now.I will open a single chapter in another day, and explain the difference of this book in detail~ After all, it is a novel~
