Chapter 1415 - Another Way (2/2)
“We are the people of NAC,” Zhang Wei pointed to the collapsed mountain. “The group of people inside are USN, and they have a lot of conflicts with us.”
“USN…wait, you are from NAC?” There was a momentary look of joy on Blood Axe, then he quickly said, “Then can you tell Zhou Guoping for me that this is not NATO’s nuclear arsenal at all, but NATO—”
“Weather Weapon,” Zhang Wei waved his hand impatiently, “We have already learned this information. And the Zhou Guoping you mentioned was taken away by USN. Now it is unknown whether he is alive or dead.”
After Blood Axe learned that Zhou Guoping had been taken away, he was shell-shocked and it took him a while to accept this fact.
Gradually, the color on his face turned from bad to worse.
It wasn’t because of how loyal he was to Zhou Guoping, but that guy still owed him thousands of bottle caps. In the beginning, they agreed that as long as he could trace the final destination of the batch of nuclear weapons, no matter whether there was any nuclear arsenal there, he could get at least a thousand caps.
Although he did not find a nuclear arsenal, he did discover the weather weapon that sounded equally destructive. He thought that he could use this information in exchange for two or three thousand caps. However, the person in front of him now told him that Zhou Guoping’s whereabouts were unknown…
“If you want to go back to Outpost Town, go back by yourself. We have something to do now and we have no time for you.” After Zhang Wei left this sentence and was about to leave, he did not expect the next sentence from Blood Axe would stop his foot in the middle of the air.
“You… you want to go in?” Blood Axe looked at the group of power armors in the front, after a pause, he continued, “In fact, there is another way to get in beside the main entrance.”
…
Colonel McCarthy sat down on the ground as he looked at the tunnel filled with rubble. He wanted to say something, but not a word came out.
He thought he was for sure died from the power of that one shell.
However, he did not expect that that shell not only blasted down the alloy gate but also collapsed the mountain. The collapsed gravel buried the entire section of the tunnel. If he hadn’t run fast enough, he would have been buried inside.
He forced a few dry laughs to celebrate his survival, then struggled to stand up from the ground with the support of a rifle. He shook his dazed brain and patted the dust on his legs. A dozen soldiers also stood or sat not too far from him.
When he came, he took five hundred brothers with him.
And now, they were the only people left.
“What should we do now?” Colonel Ross swallowed dryly, unable to wet his parched throat. He stuffed the tablet back into his backpack and walked to Colonel McCarthy.
“We can only pray now that USS Obama will find out that we are in trouble soon.”
“Speaking of which, is there no energy at all in this meteorological monitoring center?” Ross’s brows were furrowed as he looked at the elevator that lead to the underground base behind him, “If there is no energy at all, how did it transfer the nuclear winter in North America to Pan-Asia.”
“The backup energy is sufficient. It is enough for this weather monitoring center to operate for fifty years,” Colonel McCarthy shook his head after he put away the rifle in his hands, “but the backup energy that is enough for the weather weapon to operate for fifty years has been locked for the existing weather guidance program. It cannot be used for any other purposes.”
“If you crack the security program in the supercomputer, modify it directly from the inside…”
“Do you know how?” McCarthy shrugged and said hopelessly, “I’m out of luck anyway.”
However, unexpectedly, Colonel Ross, who came from USS Obama, nodded.
“I can try… I used to work at the Information Defense Center of the Department of Homeland Security before I went into the hibernation chamber.”
