One Thousand Six Hundred and Forty-Two The Fortress Changes

In the darkness, the violent panting sounded like rolling thunder and waves, rising and falling constantly.

In a corner of the room, the young American soldier Miller huddled in the corner, his hand holding the gun trembling slightly, and his frightened eyes swept around aimlessly.

The panting sound gradually subsided. The darkness obscured Miller's vision, but it also invisibly magnified his hearing. He tried his best to listen to the sounds outside, not even the slightest movement.

Suddenly, there were hurried and distant footsteps in the corridor outside, as if someone was running wildly on the other side of the corridor.

Miller swallowed his saliva violently, struggling violently in his heart whether to take the risk of joining the friendly forces or continue hiding here?

There are certain risks in joining, but there is also a chance to escape. Staying here is a sure death, and sooner or later he will be caught by the bugs.

Thinking of this, Miller made up his mind and buckled the flipped night vision goggles on his eyes, and the faint green light immediately covered his eye sockets.

The dark room immediately turned into a green world, and everything fell into his eyes, including the location of the door.

Miller licked his lips, held the pistol tightly with both hands, stood on tiptoe and tried not to make any sound, and then slowly approached the door.

He had only taken two steps when dense gunfire suddenly came from the corridor. The subtle flashes in the crack of the door looked like thunder and lightning in the night vision device, which frightened him so much that he quickly retracted his outstretched feet and turned around to hide in the corner again.

Faintly, he seemed to hear footsteps coming from outside the door, the kind of sound that insect feet touch the ground!

The eyes hidden in the darkness suddenly showed a trace of panic and uneasiness. Whatever was scary, the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and finally stopped outside!

Miller's breathing suddenly stopped, and his whole body was stiff as if he had been hit by a spell, and he couldn't move at all.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and it stopped outside the door!

Miller almost fainted. He tried his best to stay awake, and aimed the gun at the door with trembling hands.

At this point, Miller has no way to retreat. His only choice is to fight the bugs!

At this moment, fierce gunshots were heard again in the corridor, and dense and fast-moving bug steps suddenly sounded outside the door. Miller, who was extremely nervous, almost fired a gun. Fortunately, he stopped the impulse at the last moment. When the footsteps ran away, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Miller didn't know where the gun was fired,

but he knew very well that if it wasn't for this sudden gunshot, he would be dead.

He was very grateful to the person who fired the gun, but he knew that he would never know who fired the gun in his life, let alone say thank you in person.

This is not a place to stay for a long time, but the base is full of bugs. If you go out now and meet a bug, you will die!

Miller never thought that he would encounter such a situation. Isn't the security level of the base the highest in the country? How could it be invaded by bugs? This is simply a joke!

But it really happened, and it happened right in front of Miller!

That's right, this is the White House underground command center, also known as the President's Emergency Operations Command Center. Before the war, it was one of the safest underground bunkers in the United States. After the insect plague broke out, the command center was expanded several times. Now it is the largest, most well-equipped and deepest underground bunker in the United States, known as the unsinkable doomsday fortress.

It really lives up to this title. In Miller's memory, this has always been the safest place in Washington.

It is also the wartime command center of the United States. From the east coast to the west coast, from the ground to the sky, wherever there are American troops, they are under the control of the command center.

But a few days ago, everything changed.

Miller remembered very clearly that night, the base suddenly received an attack alarm from the top, but the alarm lasted for a very short time. When General George arrived, the alarm had ended.

The general immediately contacted the White House guards on the ground, but received no response. General George tried all means and only found a blurry video clip.

From the video, there was a fierce battle in the White House, and the guards had an internal conflict, which made General George very confused and didn't understand what happened.

According to regulations, the base cannot be opened when the outside world is unclear, so General George can only wait anxiously for news from the outside world.

However, what he waited for was not the news from the top leaders in Washington, but the statement from the Moon Base!

In the statement, General Franklin said that the top leaders had been controlled by aliens, and the Moon Base would take over the country immediately.

General George was angry, and the two quarreled in the communication, and neither convinced the other. Then the news spread, and the whole base was in panic.

But this is the Doomsday Fortress after all, and it is still the safest place in the whole country.

Not long after, the top leaders in Washington suddenly appeared, and they re-established communication with the base and asked the base to issue a statement to the whole country.

General George happily accepted the new task and sent the Washington statement to the whole country. Miller was very confused. Why didn't General George ask what happened in the past few days? Why was it out of contact for so long?

Maybe the general asked, but didn't let others know.

The statement from Washington was quickly sent to the whole country through the base, but the statement did not play the expected role. Instead, it caused a crazy war of words between Washington and the Moon Base, and the whole country fell into turmoil. First, several states became independent, then the military became neutral, and the underground command center existed in name only.

Not long ago, the satellite discovered the abnormal movement of the space fleet. After reporting it to the top leaders in Washington, it was learned that the Moon Base intended to seize Washington by force. The top leaders prepared to withdraw to the base and ordered the base to open the gate.

Everything was perfect as expected. The top leaders of Washington evacuated the base smoothly, accompanied by many White House guards.

Probably because the moon base was about to be airdropped, there were many ground troops withdrawn to the base, almost filling the entire base.

Then, a troop that had withdrawn to the base suddenly attacked the command center. After controlling the command center, it cut off all contact between the base and the outside world.

Everyone was running out of ideas. What the hell was going on? Which troop had lost its mind? Is it interesting to attack their own base?

But everyone quickly realized that the moon base was about to drop a group of troops? This must be an insider arranged by the moon base!

Thinking of this, the commander who was loyal to Washington immediately ordered the troops to retake the command center, but he did not forget to guard against the friendly forces whose positions were unclear. There must be more than one troop arranged by the moon base!

As expected, as soon as the troops here made a gesture to retake the command center, other troops launched an interception. The two sides accidentally fired, and no one knew who fired first. Anyway, there was a gunshot, and the two sides immediately fought to the death.

However, an unexpected situation occurred. This interception force did not use rifles, but all light insects!
