Chapter 577: Die Together
After Huangmao, Huabi and others escaped the disaster, they did not feel any joy. Instead, they hated the guards of the base to their core.
After all, they were almost killed just now, it would be strange if they didn't feel resentment.
"I must avenge this, go back!"
The pickup truck sped towards the base camp.
And the other side.
Steve Faraday, the person in charge of the secret base, also frowned.
"Our situation has been exposed. The rebels are very likely to cause trouble . Damn it!" Security captain Johnny clenched his fists.
Steve Faraday was well aware of the strength of their base. In addition to 83 researchers, there were 275 support staff, 11 management staff, plus 41 security guards.
Even if all of them were armed, there would only be 410 of them.
When this base was designed, the possibility of a direct invasion by enemy infantry was not taken into consideration. Instead, the focus was on setting up a safe house system to prevent insects from infiltrating the base.
Now they will be very powerless facing the rebels.
Even if they can rely on the gate for defense, as long as the enemy blocks the gate, they will have no way to leave the base.
Steve Faraday looked through the base's logistics data with an extremely grim expression. Their supplies could only last for about 42 days. Even if they were forced to use quotas, they could not last 100 days.
What is even more troublesome is the problem of ammunition in the base. Now their base has only 213 base units of ammunition, which are distributed among 124 firearms, with less than two base units for each gun.
This amount of ammunition is enough to fight a positional battle.
As long as there are smart people among the rebels, they can slowly besiege the base and consume the base's ammunition through positional warfare.
After all, this base is not a military base, it is a scientific research base.
Johnny didn't want to sit there and wait for death: "Base commander, let's take action first! We can use what we have researched in ."
"What? No!" Steve Faraday refused without even thinking about it.
But Johnny stared at him with bloodshot eyes: "Captain, do you want to watch us being killed by the rebels? What time is it now?"
Steve Faraday shook his head: "I won't agree with you doing this. We can ask the Council for help."
Johnny sneered and asked back, "Haha, the Council? They are now in trouble. The rebels from all over the country have occupied many cities. By the time they open up the passage, we may be dead."
"I believe the council will never give up on us, you go and arrange the defense!" Steve Faraday was very tough.
Johnny lowered his head unwillingly and walked out of the office.
Looking at Johnny's back as he left, Steve Faraday's expression changed: "Johnny, I hope you won't be impulsive, otherwise I will have to resort to the last resort."
He knew very well the current situation. America had completely collapsed. Rebels from all over the country, American troops loyal to the Council, and self-defense forces were all fighting on their own.
Being the central state of Kansas, this is the most chaotic.
Especially as super monkeypox spread, many management agencies were paralyzed, and coupled with the icy and snowy weather, North American agriculture suffered severe damage.
Insufficient food production capacity has resulted in food and food stocks in various regions relying on support from southern states.
Now that super monkeypox has arrived, it has directly destroyed agricultural and industrial production in the southern states and completely paralyzed transportation.
In many places, food supplies are almost cut off. When people have nothing to eat, it is easy for them to have extreme thoughts and behaviors.
This is what it means to be “hungry”.
If you don't rob, you will starve to death. In this environment, the collapse of the situation becomes very normal.
But Steve Faraday is a mid-level executive loyal to the Council. He naturally would not cooperate with the rebels, and he also knows the danger of this base.
After all, what this base studies are actually various microorganisms, and the topics tend to be military biotechnology.
There are several extremely deadly microorganisms in the base now. If they leak out, the consequences will be disastrous.
America is already in dire straits due to super monkeypox, and if several deadly microorganisms are leaked, it would be better for everyone to commit suicide, which would be more comfortable.
…
However, the rebels did not care about Steve Faraday's thoughts. They only wanted to rob things, collect weapons, food and people, and strengthen their own strength.
Huangmao and his group ran back to the base camp.
When the bald man saw that only one car came back, he knew that something might have happened to them: "What happened?"
“Hoohoo…” The yellow-haired man blew out white mist and said, “Chief, there really is a secret base in that place. As soon as we approached, we were discovered by the people stationed inside. Short and his men were killed by them.”
"Okay! These bastards actually dared to touch my people. Prepare your weapons immediately. I want to kill them and avenge Short and the others." A hint of excitement appeared on the bald man's face.
He was not angry about the death of his subordinates. If a few people died, he could find a secret base. This deal was a very good deal.
Now the bald man is getting impatient.
However, he did not act impulsively, but asked the yellow-haired man about other situations and found out the situation of the base first.
When he heard that there were only three armored vehicles, he knew that the base would not be too large, otherwise it would not have so little defensive power.
Of course, the bald man is very clear about this. After all, this is America, and the guarding forces of these secret bases will definitely not be too many.
The bald man quickly arranged the troops and weapons, and then headed straight for the town with 500 armed men, some towed artillery and armed pickup trucks.
The other side.
Johnny, who was arranging defenses at the base, soon received a notification from the sentry that an armed force was approaching the town of Danina.
Hearing this news, Johnny knew that the rebels must be coming to take revenge on them.
He came to Steve Faraday's office again.
"Steve, the rebels have sent people over."
Steve Faraday, who looked haggard, said calmly, "I have just contacted the Council. California will send fighter planes to bomb the rebels and drop some supplies to us. You go over there immediately to arrange the signal smoke and light three smoke beams."
"..." A hint of murderous intent flashed in Johnny's eyes, and he immediately pulled out a pistol.
"What do you want to do?" Steve Faraday was shocked.
"Steve, you are too weak and incompetent. The fighter planes have no way to protect the safety of the base. Instead, they will completely anger the rebels."
Steve Faraday's hand quietly reached into the drawer.
But Johnny was unmoved: "Don't even think about it. I have already removed the power supply line of the automatic destruction system."
"What?"
Bang, bang, bang…
Steve Faraday was shot three times in the chest and collapsed in a chair in pain, but he still pressed a button inside the drawer.
The base's hidden long-wave signal transmitter instantly emits a special electromagnetic wave in all directions.
But Johnny didn't know about Steve Faraday's actions at the last minute.
He stared grimly at Steve Faraday, who was dying with his eyes wide open: "Steve, why are you pushing me? This world has long been beyond salvation. The garbage on the board and Sapiens are all going to die!"
Johnny is clearly an extreme hawk.
After killing Steve Faraday, he immediately took control of the entire base.
Then he came to the freezer where biological products were stored. He looked at the storage cabinet in front of him, and a hint of madness appeared on his face:
"Just let me cleanse this world completely!"
