"West Coast Meteorological Monitoring Center? What the f * ck is this? "
His wildly beating heart gradually calmed down. With the light of the burning rod, when he saw the line of rusty words, Blood Axe couldn't help but feel an indescribable disappointment in his heart.
After spending half a month, the lives of countless brothers, and crossing half of the Nevada desert on foot, he finally arrived here at the risk of death. However, what was in front of him was not a NATO nuclear arsenal, but a meteorological observation center.
Even the anti-radiation pills in his backpack were not used …
"Fu * k …"
Blood Axe's fist that was holding the burning rod shook as he squeezed this sentence from his cracked lips. He spat on the ground and extinguished the flame of the burning rod. He found a place to the side and slowly sat down against the rock wall.
"This is impossible … there is no problem, the delivery address is clearly here." Blood Axe opened the EP on his left arm, his eyes staring at the flashing fluorescent screen, looking at the coordinates on the map.
Could it be …
The "name of the West Coast Meteorological Monitoring Center" is just a cover? It's actually filled with various types of nuclear warheads?
It's not impossible.
He was not willing to let his efforts go to waste.
After sitting on the ground and resting for a while, Blood Axe stood up, took out the lighter in his pocket, and reignited the burning stick in his hand. After adapting to the orange-red flame, he walked toward the underground meteorological monitoring center.
The door was open, which saved him a lot of trouble.
The empty hall was scattered with pieces of paper and garbage, and the dry ground was covered with a thick layer of dust. Just like most buildings abandoned for many years on the wasteland, it was obvious that no one had been here for a long time.
There was not even a mutant cockroach in the quiet corridor. Even if it was more than 100 meters underground, this situation was quite rare.
"The ventilation system should still be normal. It probably activated the energy-saving mode. The power system should still be intact, but I don't know how long it can last … "Blood Axe looked at the flame in his hand that did not weaken at all. He stopped in front of an electronic door and took out a brown graphene card from his pocket.
This kind of card was sold in many places. It was loaded with various types of viruses that were specifically used to crack electronic locks like this one. Many pre-war facilities that had been in disrepair for a long time could be opened with this card. Whether it was a scavenger or a predator, they all had one on them.
Blood Axe scanned the card against the infrared code scanner and took two steps back.
However, to his surprise, the electronic door did not open. Instead, there was a soft click from the gap between the door and it sounded like it was locked from behind.
The soft sound made Blood Axe pause for a moment. He had lived for so long, and it was the first time he failed with this time-tested unlock card.
However, this failure did not make him feel frustrated, but it made him feel a little excited. If this was really the West Coast Meteorological Observatory, there was no reason for the security level to be higher than the Bank of California. He had once used this card to open the door of the Bank of California's safe.
Throwing the backpack on the ground, Blood Axe excitedly took out the thermite from inside, roughly estimated the thickness of the door panel and the amount needed, then glued it to the position of the lock. He then glued it to the lock. He grabbed the backpack and ran ten meters before pressing the detonator in his hand.
With a loud bang, the white light directly melted through the thick metal door, causing sparks to explode everywhere.
Blood Axe stepped forward and kicked the half-covered door. Then, he grabbed his spear and charged in.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of violent demolition method would usually trigger the security system in the building. However, perhaps because of years of disrepair, the security system had not been maintained for a long time. After breaking through the door, Blood Axe did not encounter any resistance. He blasted all the way and pushed into the depths of the facility.
Fortunately, he brought enough thermite in his backpack. Just after the fourth electronic door was blown up, he used his shoulder to knock open the iron door hanging on the door frame and rushed into a hexagonal hall.
The dry air hit his face, and the sound of the chassis hummed.
The hall was quite empty, and a suspended walkway extended from the main entrance to the center. On both sides of the walkway was a bottomless abyss, and it was the same when he looked up. A behemoth made of steel rose from the unfathomable abyss, extending spiral-shaped interlaced cables toward the invisible ceiling. The signal lights arranged on the surface of the steel flickered in an orderly manner, operating smoothly according to the established program.
"What the hell is this …"
Blood Axe stared blankly at the behemoth, then slowly lowered the muzzle in his hand.
He didn't find a nuclear warhead, but he found such a big thing.
Intuition told him that this thing should be a supercomputer, and it should be a particularly large one. He just didn't know why NATO would secretly transport nuclear weapons here, and they were even loaded on cargo ships carrying toys. They were contracted to deliver goods to civilian enterprises along the way …
Forget it, whatever.
Blood Axe shook his head hard and threw all the confusion to the back of his mind.
He vaguely remembered that NAC was acquiring such novel gadgets everywhere, including spacecraft or other interesting high-tech instruments. Although he did not find a nuclear arsenal, the discovery of this thing should be regarded as a great achievement. At least his trip was not in vain.
What he had to do now was to find a way out.
The elevator in front of the main entrance was broken, and now he could only hope that this facility was somewhere else and there was a backup emergency evacuation passage.
Thinking of this, he took one last look at the behemoth behind him and turned to leave.
However, the moment he turned around, he froze in place as if he had been hit by a Body Fixing Spell.
A drop of cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and the rifle in his hand began to tremble.
He didn't know when, but his retreat was blocked by a group of soldiers.
Soldiers in NATO-standard kinetic skeletons, like pitch-black ghosts, stood neatly in four rows at the entrance of the hall, and their tactical eyepieces flashed with a pale blue light. The streamlined rifles and steel-like morale made Blood Axe unable to summon the courage to resist.
He had no doubt that if he showed hostility, he would become a corpse in less than 0.1 seconds.
At this time, a man in a military uniform stepped out of the crowd.
He looked up at the behemoth, and in his eagle-like pupils, there was a trace of indescribable shock and excitement.
As if he didn't see Blood Axe standing there, he walked forward and stood under the chassis, as if he was looking at a miracle left by God, and he sighed with emotion.
"Twenty years, I finally found it …"
"Who are you …" Blood Axe couldn't help but ask.
Finally noticing Blood Axe, the officer turned around, and his eagle-like eyes scanned him up and down, making Blood Axe's hair stand on end.
Without any warning, the pressure on Blood Axe's body suddenly relaxed.
"McCarthy, you can call me Colonel McCarthy, or General McCarthy." The majestic man reached out his right hand, and the aura of a superior came from the inside out. His tone did not hide the superiority and unquestionable tone, "First of all, on behalf of the UA government, I thank you for your contribution to the great cause of rejuvenation. When everything is over, I will award you the Medal of Excellent Citizenship. "
Blood Axe was stunned.
Mei … Li Jian?
If his memory from before the war was correct, this should be a term that dated back to the middle of the 21st century, before NATO was upgraded from a military consortium to a political consortium. Now that he heard someone say it in a serious manner, he couldn't find any other feelings except for the strangeness and incongruity …
