Chapter 2020: What is this
Because the Karlo base is deep underground, it is minimally affected by electromagnetic radiation, so it has suffered almost no damage.
It is better to say that it is a base, but it is a strategic reserve warehouse.
In addition to some more advanced weapons, there are more energy batteries and equipment for the military industry.
In peacetime, only one military squad was on duty at the Karlo base.
When the apocalypse came, the soldiers on duty decisively opened the base to the survivors after they could not reach their superiors and figure out what was going on outside.
Their decision seems to be the right one, because the fundamental purpose of the military's existence is to protect the country and protect more civilians.
But these soldiers ignore the fact that when the order collapses, the bad side of human nature will be infinitely magnified.
Now, it's no longer the same military squad that controls the Carlo base.
When the number of civilians they received was about to reach the limit of what the base could hold, the troop officers of the dozens of federal military and police departments who had been helping them manage order suddenly turned their faces.
More than a dozen soldiers in that military squad were caught off guard and were all killed by those combat policemen.
The Warriors, who had infiltrated the survivors and had managed to recruit hundreds of men, took over the Karlo base.
It was from that time that the Carlo base became a paradise for some, but a hell for many.
Fortunately, Laurent, who was out trying to search for and contact "Carlo City", was not at the base.
Otherwise, with his character, nine times out of ten, he would have participated in that operation, and in the end, he would be killed by the troop thugs along with those comrades he didn't know.
After Laurent's return, the new rulers of Carlo Base did not target him.
After giving Laurent some food and reassuring him, the authorities made it clear that he needed Laurent to do more for the base.
Without a wife and a daughter living at the Carlo base, Laurent felt that she had a hundred ways to kill each other, even if the person in power was a man of terrifying power.
But for the sake of his wife and a pair of innocent and lovely daughters, Laurent agreed.
"We have to find a way to contact the military base north of Carlo City as soon as possible, we can't stay here any longer."
Standing in the elevator, Laurent thought.
Ten seconds later, the high-speed elevator, which had long been repaired, stopped.
Laurent stepped out of the elevator and saw a woman standing outside the door at a glance.
It was a beautiful woman, whether she was a "light" or a "spirit" human, and after the apocalypse, there were only two categories of all human women - beautiful and unbeautiful.
Undoubtedly, this woman is beautiful.
In Laurent's opinion, her appearance is more beautiful than the stars she has seen in the media before.
However, Laurent did not show any unusual expression.
Instead, instead of looking directly at the beautiful woman, he lowered his head slightly.
"He's waiting for you."
The woman glanced at Laurent wryly, then turned away.
There is no day or night underground, but those in power still have a clear time to delineate their schedules.
Now it was clearly time to rest, and the originally chaotic and noisy base was silent.
Walking slowly behind the woman, the strange smell that permeated the air made Laurent inexplicably a little irritable.
"Don't you really have to think about it anymore?"
"Please, Laurent, if you're going to leave here someday, you must find a way to take me with you."
"You don't know what he's done to me, if it weren't for the fact that he wanted to find my brother, I wouldn't be alive a long time ago."
"Please, Laurent."
"If you're leaving, be sure to let me know."
Walking slowly in front, the woman did not look back, just pleaded quietly.
"I'm leaving?"
"Why should I leave?"
"Do you know what's going on out there? Bugs that we can easily crush to death eat people, our pets eat people, even those beautiful flowers and plants eat people, in this case, why should I leave? ”
"I went out, it was because I had to do some missions."
"If I had a choice, I wouldn't want to leave even a step here."
Without deliberately hiding her tone, Laurent replied with a blank face.
The soft body stiffened visibly, and the woman didn't say anything more until she came to the door.
Glancing back at Laurent, the woman's eyes were still plaintive.
When she saw that Laurent didn't even look at her, the woman turned her head in disappointment, reached out and knocked softly on the door.
"Come in."
A voice rang out.
The woman pushed open the door and walked in with Laurent.
"It's back!"
"How? Did you get in touch with the Carlo base? ”
A middle-aged man, who was about shoulder-height for Laurent, stood up with a smile as he stepped aside and poured Laurent a glass of water himself.
"No, I've been surveying these days, just like I judged before, if you want to bypass the city of Carlo to get to that military base from the wilderness full of unknown dangers, the relatively safe way is to go through the city."
"But it's just as dangerous in the city, and as we know it now, the denser the creatures, the more alien bodies there are."
"There are more than five million people living in Carlo City, and if you think about it, even if there are about ten percent of the people mutated, it is hundreds of thousands."
"I don't have much pressure to deal with an alien."
"Dealing with two or three at the same time, then there's some trouble."
"There are more than five aliens, I can't escape, and if I run into a super mutant in the alien, I may be killed by it as soon as I see it."
"So, the task of contacting the first military base in Carlo is not something that can be completed in a day or two."
Laurent took the water but did not sit down, but stood up straight and said.
"Didn't use it?"
The short, middle-aged man pointed to the communicator on Laurent's shoulder.
"It's useless, although the electromagnetic storm has passed for a long time, the radiation has not completely disappeared."
"As soon as the communicator is turned on, there is a screeching electric sound, and it is impossible to use at all."
Laurent told the truth.
Sitting at the table, the short, middle-aged man fell into deep thought.
Although Laurent was anxious to see his wife and daughter, she could only wait patiently.
"You get out."
After a while, the middle-aged man raised his head and looked at the beautiful woman.
The woman didn't dare to say anything, so she retreated.
"I'll show you something."
The middle-aged man said, taking out a stack of photos from a drawer and throwing them in front of Laurent.
Laurent walked over to the table, and for a moment, he felt the urge to pull out the giant blade and slash at the middle-aged man's neck.
But after an instant, he still dispelled this idea.
Having witnessed Joseph's terrifying prowess, Laurent estimated that even if he was holding a miniature particle energy weapon, the middle-aged man who didn't look amazing could kill him at least ten times in an instant before he could make a move.
Looking down, Laurent looked at the picture on the table.
When he saw what was in the picture, Laurent was taken aback: "This...... What is it? ”
