It took Qi Lin almost a day and a half, after crossing most of Alaska, to reach this old military fortress near the Yukon River.

However, the Yukon that Qi Lin saw was completely different from the Yukon he imagined, as he expected, it should be a ruin destroyed by the war, although there were a large number of shelters built underneath the Yukon, but the Yukon on the surface must not be inhabitable by humans...... Not only was Anchorage razed by bombing, but Fort Yukon was also hit with a high-priority nuclear strike.

But he was wrong...... The imaginary ruins did not appear, but instead there was a huge ground fortress, which was even more magnificent than the original Sword Pavilion Fortress, and judging by the new level of the walls, the fortress had probably been built for a long time......

As far as Qi Lin knows, the only refuge in the human world built on the surface of the earth is only in Greenland, where the population is sparse, the material is scarce and has little strategic value, a large number of refugees from North America and Europe to Greenland have established new homes within the Arctic Circle, and the European branch of the consortium alliance has also set its headquarters on this large island covered by ice and snow all year round.

But Alaska is different, although like Greenland, both places are very close to the North Pole of the earth, but Alaska is one of the important battlefields of the Third World War, the forefront of the confrontation between several major forces, the population density of this land once surpassed the east coast of the United States, and at the end of the war, the number of nuclear bombs falling on this land was no less than the super metropolises on the east coast of the United States.

Like Anchorage, the Fort Yukon area is also a heavily radiated area, but as far as Qi Lin perceives so far, the radiation pollution in the place where the giant fortress in front of him is located is not strong, but it can only reach the threshold of a lightly polluted area.

Anyone who knows anything about nuclear radiation knows that the main difficulty for human beings to return to the surface to rebuild their homes is not to build new cities on the ruins, but to clean up and purify the radiation pollution that remains on the surface...... Not only is the cost of this purification project exaggerated, but the time it takes is "ten years" as the most basic unit of measurement, which is one of the reasons why the big conglomerates have squeezed their heads out to organize the organization, and they all hope to get the largest possible territory after returning to the ground...... A territory as large as possible, free of radiation contamination.

Only that kind of land can meet the needs of human reproduction, and as for the radiation zone that is like a thick sore on the surface of the earth, unless there are coveted resources in the radiation zone, no one will care at all.

The reason is simple, in order to restore this radiation zone to the point where it can allow humanity to gain a foothold, the manpower and material resources it needs to consume will be enough to snatch back several times the area of land from other people, and no one will do thankless work, especially these businessmen who always put their own interests first.

…… But...... And when did this fortress appear? This is a very good job of secrecy, isn't it?!

Qi Lin lay on the back of an anti-slope, turned on the ability of Eagle Eye, and began to carefully probe the fortress that had appeared out of thin air.

The outer walls of the fortress are more than 40 meters high, the reinforced concrete structure is covered with a layer of combined city defense armor plates, and soldiers wearing power armor patrol back and forth on the top of the wall, in addition to the occasional "Comanche" landing in the fortress or rising from the fortress and flying to other places.

The fortress's heavy metal gates were tightly closed, and outside the city walls, a circle of human walls several kilometers thick was densely packed, and the main members of this human wall were the lowliest of the living dead, the "rotting corpses", who were attracted by the fresh flesh that hung on the walls and was still dripping with blood, and surrounded the entire Fort Yukon base solidly, and countless pairs of festering and pus-draining twin heavens were held high above their heads, so rotten that you could even see the ten fingers of the bones constantly scratching at the air in vain.

Qi Lin roughly estimated that the number of carrion corpses gathered outside the walls of the Fort Yukon base was likely to exceed one million...... And even more, just ...... Where did such a large number of the living dead come from?

The real wasteland is not exactly the same as the end described in "Resident Evil", the living dead have never been the masters of the wasteland world, and compared to the many powerful mutated creatures in the wasteland, this lowest-level carrion is completely at the bottom of the food chain, and it is difficult for them to form a large-scale corpse tide, because after a certain number of carrion corpses gather, they will attract those wasteland predators with a keen sense of smell to them, wantonly kill these carrion corpses with no combat power, and leave contentedly after a full meal.

Carrion corpses are not parasites, they cannot sweep hundreds of kilometers like the Kuroshioke...... They can't even climb the Alaskan Mountains, and according to the Wasteland Ecological Research Report, these creatures often don't leave their "lifetime" ...... Or how far away they lived before the mutation, and the best place to find this kind of deprived living dead is the ruins of cities and villages, not the uninhabited deserts.

Generally speaking, carrion is a kind of "native creature", they basically do not have the habit of migrating, and the number of carrion corpses that can appear in a place generally does not exceed the number of humans originally possessed here......

Thinking of this, the corners of Qi Lin's eyes couldn't help twitching slightly, these millions of rotting corpses were probably the aborigines of the underground shelter in the Fort Yukon area!

If it weren't for them, there would have been no way to gather so many carrion corpses in this area, and the number of carrion corpses would have been comparable to the number of people who had taken refuge in the Fort Yukon area in the old days.

Qi Lin immediately understood how the radiation in this area had been purified!

As we all know, whether it is "zombies" or "zombies", in fact, they are not formed after the death of human beings, they are just a special form of human beings after being mutated by radiation, and the living dead can be regarded as a new biological species, compared with the original humans, they are more adapted to the environment after being contaminated by radiation.

In the process of human beings mutating into the living dead, their bodies need to absorb a certain amount of radiant energy, just like Qi Lin had to drive the shaped energy vortex to absorb the radiant energy in the environment when he evolved, but the amount absorbed by ordinary people is much smaller than his.

After ordinary people absorb radiation, part of the radiation energy acts on the mutation of the human body, and part of the radiation energy precipitates in the body of the living dead...... According to the law of conservation of energy, the radiation pollution in the external environment will be eliminated little by little.

However, not everyone can mutate into the living dead, and the most normal change for the vast majority of people after being exposed to radiation is to suffer from various radiation sickness and then die in pain...... But the number of living dead in front of me, the mutation rate is probably not 100 percent, but more than 90 percent.

Qi Lin guessed that these people should have been injected with some special drugs, or carried out some simple "transformation", which can allow them not to die directly from radiation sickness, but to successfully mutate into the living dead, thus becoming the best tool for purifying environmental radiation......

This kind of thing...... It is no longer possible to simply describe it as "cruel...... But what Qi Lin can't deny is that this method is indeed very effective and extremely efficient......

The living dead around the outer perimeter of the Fort Yukon base absorb the radiant energy of the environment day after day, and when the remaining radiant energy in this area is completely absorbed by them, they will naturally die of physical failure, and the tissues and masterminds don't even need to spend any more effort to clean them up, just wait for them to die on their own, and then transport their corpses to the wilderness and throw them away.

Moreover, this human wall composed of the living dead can also be regarded as the outermost defense of the Fort Yukon base, whether someone is trying to infiltrate the Fort Yukon base or some mutated creatures are approaching, the reaction of the carrion corpses can provide early warning information to the defenders on the wall in the first place.

The person who was able to come up with this strategy was undoubtedly a genius, but no less ...... is also a cold-blooded to the extreme, inhuman guy......

If you want to enter the Fort Yukon base, taking the "Comanche" is the only way, and except for this helicopter that can achieve complete stealth, it is difficult for other flying vehicles to even approach the sky above the Fort Yukon base, not because of how powerful the anti-aircraft fire of the Fort Yukon base is, but because of the rancid smell emitted by the gathering of a large number of carrion corpses on the ground, which attracts countless scavenging birds similar to mutant vultures to hover in the air for a long time.

Although these scavenging birds were attracted by the smell of carrion, this group of birds of prey would never mind trying the taste of fresh meat, or rather, the fresh meat with a strong smell of blood was more attractive to them In the hour of observation, Qi Lin had seen mutated scavengers swoop down at the risk of being beaten into a sieve by machine guns, and compete for the fresh meat pieces that hung on the city wall to attract corrosion.

So far, Qi Lin has basically determined that Qin and Ayakui, who were captured by the mastermind and organization, should have been taken to this Fort Yukon base......

With the size of the Fort Yukon base, the facilities inside are no less complete than the organization's underground headquarters, and it will never be a problem to complete the final step of the utopian plan here.

Especially after having rare samples like Qin and Ayakui.

Both of them are congenital psychic abilities, and through their research, the mastermind may be able to overcome that technical difficulty, and as long as that technical difficulty is overcome, the world's game pods will become coffins one after another in an instant, and those who sleep in them will never wake up.

Time was pressing, and Qi Lin could not continue to spend on the periphery of the Fort Yukon base, so he put on a snow-white cloak and quietly touched towards the periphery of the corpses under the cover of ice and snow.

Or it was too far away from the walls to smell the blood of the fresh flesh hanging on the walls, and the carrion on the outskirts of the corpses was not as crowded as inside, most of them wandered around the snow in a scattered manner, occasionally standing in distraction, allowing the mutated scavenging birds to swoop down from the sky to snatch them away.

These scattered carrion corpses located on the periphery are the main targets of those mutant scavenging birds who are not attached to blood, the density of the corpses is too high, and if you rush down, you may encounter some accidents, and hunting these lone carrion corpses on the periphery is safe and easy, anyway, there is no difference between the taste and meat quality of the solitary and carrion corpses and the carrion huddled together.

Qi Lin quietly approached a carrion corpse wearing a tattered military uniform, and before the latter could even notice him, a dagger without a trace of reflection suddenly flew out of the snowdrift, penetrated through the carrion's jaw, penetrated the carrion's throat, and reached the position of the brain stem.

The rotting corpse with a destroyed brain stem died on the spot, and just as its corpse was about to fall, a pair of hands suddenly reached out, caught the rotting corpse, and dragged it into a snowdrift.

……

Taking off the military uniform on the carrion that was almost indistinguishable from the broken sack, Qi Lin looked at the badge on his chest, which was the number of an army of the United States Army stationed in Alaska, according to Harveys, this army should have been transferred to the underground and shelter of Fort Yukon after the outbreak of nuclear war.

And now the carrion corpse wearing this military uniform appears here, which obviously confirms Qi Lin's previous guess that the millions of carrion corpses outside the Fort Yukon base are all aborigines in the underground shelter of Fort Yukon.

Draped this tattered military uniform on his body, Qi Lin cut open the abdominal cavity of the rotting corpse with a knife, smeared all the disgusting pus and blood stains on his body, and in order to disguise it more likely, he even cut off the scalp on the head of the rotting corpse that still had a lot of hair and pasted it on the top of his head.

After doing all this, Qi Lin slowly stood up from the snowdrift, and he lowered the speed of the shaped energy vortex to a level close to the state of "suspended animation", and within a few seconds, his body temperature had become indistinguishable from that of a dead person. Immediately afterward, Qi Lin followed the walking style of a carrion corpse and limped towards the Fort Yukon base......

Disguising himself as a carrion corpse to make his way through the corpses was the only way Qi Lin could think of to get to the Fort Yukon base other than to hijack a helicopter, and the next thing he had to do was the towering walls and the heavy metal gates. 2k reading web
