Chapter 31: The Expansion of Skynet
In the face of the ultimatum at Minot Air Force Base, all parties behaved differently, and some people in the major gathering areas on the West Coast were panicked, and some immediately fell to their knees and surrendered, announcing their support, and expecting the Air Force Base to immediately send people to take over.
Some said they agreed verbally, but in fact they did nothing, and some simply waited and watched, and did not say whether they supported or opposed.
Others scoffed, simply because the territory was too small and too far away, and the local consuls felt that the people at the air base would not waste a nuclear bomb specifically for them.
And Qin Rongshuai purely felt that these people were sick in the brain.
When are you still thinking about this, not to mention being thousands of kilometers away from each other, how do you manage large and small gathering areas.
So many people need to eat, how do you ensure the supply of supplies for these people?
None of these problems can be solved, even if everyone agrees with you being the talker, it's just a nominal empty shelf.
However, Qin Rongshuai was very envious of those nuclear bombs, and he couldn't wait to rush over and grab these cuties.
Because those cuties are not cute at all when they fall on their heads.
Just when Qin Rongshuai was pondering how to get a nuclear bomb, Skynet, which had been dormant for a long time, finally moved.
A small agglomeration near the Great Lakes region.
Within a month of the Judgment Day, tens of thousands of people had fled the city, most of them from nearby cities, which had become dead because of the paralysis of infrastructure.
Staying inside, without food or drink, and worrying about being attacked by thugs at all times, a large number of city dwellers fled the concrete jungle and ran into the wilderness in search of food.
In the end, they had to drink the water of the Great Lakes and catch fish and shrimp in the lakes to fill their stomachs, completely ignoring the problem of excessive heavy metals, after all, people would starve to death.
Relying on the water of the lake and the aquatic products in it, the Great Lakes region has rapidly developed several large gathering points, relying on the convenience of the natural environment to survive.
Not everyone has the skill to catch fish, and there are many people who can't catch fish, and these people have to sell their labor or exchange it for something else.
People here have to work hard every day to get food, otherwise they will go hungry.
As the sun leaps over the horizon, exhausted refugees climb out of their rudimentary tents, ready to begin the day foraging.
But as soon as they arrived at the fishing boat, before they could start work, they felt that the ground seemed to tremble slightly.
"Earthquake?"
Then the roar of the engine came from a distance, and the refugees were stunned, looking at each other in a bit of a daze, not knowing what was happening.
The patrol guards in the gathering area hurriedly climbed to a high place, raised their binoculars to take a look, and were immediately stunned.
In the distance, the ground line reflected the sunlight, and as far as the eye could see, legions of steel rolled in.
"Boom!"
Balls of flames erupted from the approaching steel chariots, and whistling cannonballs rained down into the gathering area.
The shamprapnel swept through like a storm, and large numbers of human beings fell in pools of blood.
The panicked humans began to flee in all directions, not caring for anything, with only one thought, which was to escape from the flaming hell.
But no matter how fast they ran on their legs, they couldn't outrun the machinery and wheels, and the humans who had been driven out of the gathering area crashed headlong into a blockade of chariots.
A warning came from the horn on the chariot, "Squat down on the spot, don't resist!" ”
"Squat on the spot, don't resist!"
……
Humans like headless flies subconsciously followed the instructions on the radio, and all of them squatted down in the field, black and oppressive.
Rows of terminators jumped down the route on the steel chariot, quickly walked into the crowd, and began to pick out adult men, women, children, and old people, escorted them into different cars, and then pulled them away.
Adult men and women were sent to factories to perform all sorts of heavy physical labor under the watchful eye of the Terminators, children were imprisoned, and old people were sent to various laboratories to be used for research by Skynet.
Skynet sent its own army of Terminators to attack everywhere, capturing humans everywhere, while building factories to build a steady stream of different types of Terminators, weapons and vehicles.
Under the planning and strict organization of Skynet, the loyal and efficient execution of the robot legion, the power of Skynet is expanding day by day.
Countless manufacturing machines and mining machinery were restarted, and power plants were put up and running.
The area under Skynet's control has become the busiest place on the North American continent, with lights and machinery running all day long.
In just one month, Skynet's mechanical legion swept across the Great Lakes region, and then thought about expanding the West Coast region.
Large numbers of refugees began to flee, all the way south to bring the news to the various gathering areas along the way.
Qin Rongshuai also quickly received the news, which made his scalp a little numb.
Although the place he established has also made small achievements, in terms of armament, it is definitely not able to defeat Skynet's Iron Legion.
The other party is a robot controlled by artificial intelligence, and his side is just a group of civilians with no military training.
To say that facing the enemy on the opposite side of the field battle with the mechanical legion, it can be regarded as an elite for half an hour.
Moreover, modern combat is not the same as the era of cold weapons, just grab a bunch of people and train for a while and you can go into battle.
The complexity and diversity of modern weapons determine the technical threshold, and untrained people will not be able to use them.
Although Qin Rongshuai raided a number of military bases, and he had weapons in his hands, no one could use them.
Qin Rongshuai spread out the map, compared it to several locations in the northeast of the United States, calculated the distance, and then frowned, "At this rate, Skynet will advance to us in less than three months." ”
The others also looked at each other, silent, not knowing how to respond.
After all, except for Kyle and other human rebels, the others have never been exposed to Skynet and Terminators at all, and are completely unfamiliar with fighting robots.
Moreover, there is an extreme shortage of command personnel in the security zone, and none of them can command a large army to fight in a murderous battle, and none of them can do it.
Qin Rongshuai looked around, found that his subordinates didn't speak, and sighed.
It seems that he can only go out on his own.
Frontal combat can't be done, so there is no other way to do it.
To deal with the robot army, you need a little bit of a big guy.
Qin Rongshuai once again set his sights on the nuclear bomb of the remnant base of the Mi Army, before it was because he couldn't get away from the construction of a safety zone, but now at this time, he had to go for a trip.
After telling the others to be optimistic about the base and leaving some supplies, Qin Rongshuai got into the car alone and ran towards the location of Minot Air Force Base.
The base is located in Minot, North Dakota, a small city with a total population of about 40,000 people.
After the start of Judgment Day, most of the citizens rushed to the air base for help, but they were dispersed by the Mi troops at the base, leaving only some people to provide logistics services for the base.
Because the airbase is located on the edge of the city, it is quite easy to find.
Qin Rongshuai drove along the highway all the way to the map, and easily found the location of the base.
