Chapter 113 The Real Doomsday Fortress!
Before the vehicle approached the military shelter, everyone got off the car in advance. They were amazed by the spectacular scene in front of them.
The shelter was huge, with towering walls up to 100 meters high, towering like a 30-story building, as if it was about to touch the sky.
Even though it was three kilometers away, its huge scale was obvious and shocking.
The wall was made of all-alloy material, shining with a cold metallic luster, towering into the clouds, and seemed indestructible.
On the top of the wall, obvious radar arrays and dense searchlights were constantly patrolling the surroundings, and soldiers with live ammunition were patrolling back and forth. Their eyes were sharp and vigilantly watching everything around them to ensure that no potential threats could get close to the shelter.
In addition, there was a small precision position every 100 meters, which was equipped with a cutting-edge defense system, such as anti-aircraft guns and missile launchers and other heavy weapons, to build an indestructible line of defense for the shelter.
Li Qiang exclaimed: "Professor Liu, this... is this the shelter you mentioned before? This is simply a steel behemoth, a real doomsday fortress! Building such a shelter must have consumed huge resources and manpower, right?"
Professor Liu explained in detail: "Yes, that's right. This is the military shelter of District 3, and the court did invest a lot to build it."
"How big is its area?" Su Rui asked a key question.
After taking a deep breath, Professor Liu continued: "According to the information I know, this place covers at least 1.2 square kilometers, which is equivalent to an ordinary town in China before the end of the world. It adopts a circular design as a whole, and the city walls are all made of alloy. The population is very dense, accommodating about one million residents."
"One million residents? How is this possible?"
"Can this shelter really accommodate so many people?"
Everyone expressed doubts.
Although they are not demography experts, at least they are all intellectuals and have some understanding of densely populated areas.
For example, Yanjiao Town in Hebei Province has an area of 108.2 square kilometers, and its permanent population is only more than 700,000. It can only reach one million if the floating population is included.
The area of this shelter is only one percent of Yanjiao Town, but it has to accommodate the same number of people. This sounds incredible.
It is hard for them to imagine how one million people live in such a small space?
Professor Liu calmly explained: "There is nothing to doubt about this. It is the end of the world now. Do you still think that everyone will have a two-bedroom and one-living room?"
After that, everyone slightly dispelled some doubts.
Professor Liu continued, "However, despite the large scale of this shelter, it is still only small in the whole of China."
Su Rui asked a key question again: "How big was the shelter that was destroyed in Jinghai City before?"
Professor Liu answered seriously, "The scale of that shelter is 1.5 times larger than this one, but even so, it still failed to survive the fierce impact of the beast tide. This clearly shows that coming here does not mean we can sit back and relax..."
As soon as Professor Liu finished speaking, everyone took a breath of cold air.
The shelter they originally envisioned was just a simple shelter with dozens of meters high walls, where people barely survived.
However, the scale of the shelter in front of them was far beyond their imagination, and the tight defense was also astonishing.
What's more shocking is that even with such a scale and defense, it may still not be able to withstand the invasion of the beast tide.
After deep thought, Su Rui raised a more critical question: "What is the food source for such a large population? How can a single shelter feed so many people?"
As a researcher of XM2 seeds, Professor Liu has a deep understanding of food issues.
He explained in detail: "At present, the food sources of military shelters around the world mainly come from three parts. First, it is the food stored before the end of the world. If the quantity is sufficient, it can temporarily support a period of time. Secondly, it is to use existing seed technology, such as the XM1 seeds used here to grow food, but long-term use will have side effects, causing human gene mutations and then losing fertility. Finally, the military will also organize teams to go out hunting and hunt for food-eating beasts as food, but there are also risks."
After listening to Professor Liu's explanation, Su Rui became more aware of the importance of side quest rewards, which is almost the best choice for saving mankind at present.
Then, Su Rui raised the third key question: "Old Liu, how much do you know about the armed forces here? The officer mentioned that the prince is also here, so I guess the defense here should not be too weak?"
However, Professor Liu did not seem to know the specific details of the military deployment.
He shook his head slightly and said: "We need to enter the shelter to know the specific information of the armed forces. But before we enter, there is an outpost that we must pass through."
"Outpost? What is that?" Everyone asked again in unison.
Professor Liu explained: "Well... to put it simply, the outpost is the first line of defense for the shelter. Since the shelter is full of people, it is not easy to enter, so there is still a gap between the outpost and the shelter. There are some refuge camps as buffer areas. In order to protect these refugees, the military has established outposts outside the refuge camps. Its first task is to monitor and obtain any potential intrusion information, and the second is to protect the safety of these refugees.”
After hearing this, a trace of worry flashed across Su Rui's face. He cautiously confirmed to Professor Liu: "Does that mean we may also face the risk of being refused entry to the shelter?"
Professor Liu smiled and waved his hand: "Theoretically, this possibility does exist, but don't worry, as members of the institute, Feifei and I will not be difficult to obtain the status of institute personnel for you. In this way, we can pass the outpost smoothly. Stop and enter the shelter together. But, Suri, I also have a question for you."
"Oh? You said."
"Actually, there are two ways to enter the shelter. The first method is to wait for the allocated quota like ordinary people. Of course, using the identity of our institute to obtain the quota should not be a problem."
Su Rui nodded and signaled Professor Liu to say the second option.
"And the second method is also very simple. You just need to show your strong strength. By then, the military may even directly canonize you as a general. At that time, you will naturally become the leader and lead Everyone enters together. However, if you choose this path, your personal freedom may be subject to certain restrictions.”
After listening to Professor Liu's explanation, everyone's eyes turned to Su Rui. They knew that the future direction of the entire team would completely depend on Su Rui's decision at this moment.
But Suri's choice is as firm as ever!
