Vault 32

Chapter 130 Caves
Clenching the tactical flashlight in their hands, the marines moved one after another, slowly moving forward along the sides of the rock wall, and at the same time turned on the astigmatism of the tactical flashlight, completely illuminating the dark cave in front of them .And they, who had just gone through the narrow tunnel, couldn't help but widen their eyes when they saw the vast space in front of them, and their breathing became a little short.

Although the huge space is dim, it can still be seen clearly.There are dense stalactites hanging upside down at a height of more than five meters, and there are also some broken stalactites on the uneven ground.However, the interior of the space is not humid, but rather dry on certain rock walls.And it seems unrealistic to call this place a basketball court, because even if this space is arranged in three basketball courts, it is nothing more than that!

"Wait, why is there still a smell?"

A member of the Marine Corps frowned suspiciously, subconsciously scanned the space in front of him with a tactical flashlight, and couldn't help sniffing slightly. Seeing the gray-brown soil under his feet covered the ground, he was directed towards Looking at the side, he spat fiercely, and said helplessly, "Damn it, there is still a pile of bat droppings here!"

Liszt also irradiated it with a tactical flashlight, and the ground was covered with gray-brown soil.Gently moving his nostrils, a strong rancid smell immediately appeared in his nasal cavity, and even went straight to the brain nerves along his organs.He also spat towards the side, nodded and had a headache: "It seems that if we don't clean up these bat droppings, we won't be able to stay here."

Those gray-brown soil layers are undoubtedly bat droppings, although in Liszt's memory, these things seem to be a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, but now they are just a pile of waste.Of course, Liszt didn't have much impression of what diseases could be treated with this thing, but after smelling the rancid smell, few would dare to try to use these things to treat diseases.

Exhaling slowly, Karl couldn't help pinching his nasal cavity, letting the sour breath gradually calm down.And he turned his head to look at the rock wall in the cave, his brows were also slightly frowned, and he scanned the surrounding rock formations with the beam of light, and nodded involuntarily: "The bat guano must be cleaned up, otherwise it will pollute our living area." After a pause, he still frowned and said, "The air circulation is poor, we also need a vent."

"Air vent? Isn't it just this tunnel behind us?"

Liszt frowned slightly, and the rancid smell in his nose showed that although there were a lot of bat guano in the cave, it also showed that the ventilation in the cave had deteriorated.Scanning the surrounding rock walls with the tactical flashlight in his hand, Liszt gestured to the marines behind him, and said in a deep voice, "Look around, maybe there are other tunnels inside."

For any underground fortification, the requirements for vents are extremely strict.After all, oxygen is the most critical item for human survival. If there is no oxygen to circulate with the wind, the carbon dioxide deposited in the fortifications will make people feel depressed, and even feel suffocated due to the high concentration of carbon dioxide, let alone work or battle. Even survival is a problem.

Especially in modern combat methods, there is an option of poison gas bombs.Once Liszt's enemies frenziedly use gas bombs on them, in this cave with extremely poor circulation, the power caused is almost 100% explosive.And think about what the United States did in Vietnam and the Soviet Union in Afghanistan in the previous life, they used gas bombs without any scruples, let alone the two major military groups that have lasted for more than 200 years and have already gone mad!

"Understood, there must not be only one tunnel in such a large cave."

Karl nodded, and immediately nodded to the soldiers behind him and made a tactical gesture. They immediately raised their weapons and walked quickly towards the interior of the cave ahead.At the same time, they scanned the surrounding rock walls very carefully, even using tactical flashlights to scan under their feet and above their heads one by one, and followed Liszt's orders very earnestly.

And they didn't scatter aimlessly, they all formed groups of two, and these Marines were able to get help from the other two groups around them in the shortest possible time.This was their instinctive reaction after a long period of military training, but in Liszt's eyes, he couldn't help but nodded, raised the corners of his mouth and sighed slightly: "These guys, if they are tested on the battlefield, Then compared to those ordinary infantrymen in Anchorage, they are not too far behind."

According to Lister's understanding, the American federal infantry on the Anchorage line of defense is also composed of elites as the mainstay, stationed at various key points, and the rear reserve is the main force.And those unimportant areas, or the follow-up waves of large-scale battles, were all supplemented by recruits who had been trained for several months, and they were abruptly filled in Anchorage's defense line.

After all, the U.S. Federation is now fighting on two fronts, the security war in Mexico is still going on, and the situation in Alaska is so deteriorating. Apart from the temporary large-scale recruitment of domestic retired soldiers and young people who meet the standards for joining the army, there is almost nothing good There is a way to face the fact that Anchorage's defense line is huge and manpower is scarce.After all, training in a defensive area close to the front line can improve much faster than the strict military training in the rear.

But the members of this group of marines are themselves the elite troops who belonged to the navy for landing operations or island operations in the previous game.Although their weapons and equipment may not be comparable to the orthodox US Army, their tough combat style and strong morale have already been fully demonstrated in the Pacific islands and reefs of World War II, the rainforests of the Vietnam War, and the deserts of Iraq. , They are the elite of an extraordinary army!
"Captain Liszt, found a tunnel, it seems that the wind will blow again!"

Just inside the cave on the left, two Marine Corps boys holding weapons and tactical flashlights were surprised to find that on the rock wall in front of them, in the area covered by bat guano, a half-meter The left and right rock cracks were cracking there, and they could even feel the slight wind blowing over their faces, bringing up the rancid smell of bat guano, which made them even more uncomfortable covering their noses, but turned their heads to Li Si Te Zhao waved his hand and said, "This should be a vent to the outside world!"
