Increasing the soldiers’ load would only speed up their fatigue. At most, they would need to rest more often and eat more.

Conversely, the extra weight on the soldiers meant that when the aliens killed them, they would have to carry more weight, significantly affecting their speed of escape and even giving Zhao Yu time for a counterattack.

Zhao Yu led his team around to the east gate to find the people from Meng Xian’s camp.

‘1 need to talk to your Meng Meng…’

Previously, he had a daily task where he saved a survivor from Fallout Shelter 12988. Zhao Yu wanted to gather some information from her.

‘Wait a moment, I’ll go back and report…’

Soon, Meng Meng came over, led by Eagle.

‘May 1 know why you are looking for someone from our camp?’ Eagle asked tentatively.

‘I want to inquire about Fallout Shelter 12988…’

Eagle turned to look at Meng Meng, who had come from the shelter. He had heard of the alien creatures there.

‘What do you want to know?’ Meng Meng asked nervously.

‘The structure of Fallout Shelter 12988, and how many people are inside…’

Eagle felt a chill. According to Meng Meng, the shelter had long since locked its doors. But it sounded like Zhao Yu intended to attack it?

After hesitating, Meng Meng told him everything she knew.

She had no reason to keep secrets for the shelter, especially since they had locked the doors when they were in danger.

In fact, she hoped Zhao Yu would destroy the shelter, at least killing those in charge.

After questioning, Zhao Yu had a preliminary understanding of Shelter 12988.

The shelter was located over eighty meters underground, accessible by a vertical shaft and an elevator.

It had four levels: the first two housed people, and the last two were for growing vegetables and various electronic equipment.

Excluding those who had left, there were at least five hundred people inside the shelter.

‘Understood, thank you!’

Zhao Yu waved his hand, and a soldier immediately handed Meng Meng a rifle. ‘This is your reward!’

He had plenty of guns.

Eagle glanced at the rifle, motioned Meng Meng to take it, and then asked, ‘Centurion Zhao, are you inquiring about the shelter for a…?’

‘Sorry, it’s related to a mission, I can’t disclose it!’

Zhao Yu returned to his vehicle and left with his army.

Eagle grew increasingly worried after watched they left.

If Zhao Yu and his men were ordered to invade Shelter 12988, they might one day invade their camp as well.

‘We must be wary of this man…’

He only hoped that Meng Xian would return soon, whether to continue moving or to confront Zhao Yu. A decision had to be made quickly.

If they delayed any longer, their camp would be in danger.”

Fallout Shelter 12988.

A helicopter slowly landed nearby.

As the helicopter hovered one meter above the ground, several soldiers jumped down from it, scouting the area for threats before letting the helicopter land.

The members of the War Wolf Squad leaped out energetically. The squad leader, Wolf informed the pilot, ‘We’ll be back in three hours. Find a safe place nearby to land, and come back for us then…’

‘No problem, 1’11 wait a maximum of 15 minutes. If you’re not back, I’ll return and report…’ the pilot replied.

‘Understood!’

Soon, the helicopter took off again.

With ten elite soldiers in combat gear on the ground.

‘Move out, quick!’ Wolf shouted.

The tasks had already been assigned on the helicopter. The team split into two groups: one for surveillance and the other to enter the shelter’s surface fortress.

‘Reporting, the main door is still sealed…’ one of them said.

Wolf quickly commanded, ‘Net Bug, find a way to open the door!’

‘Roger that!’

A man with a gun, but also carrying a computer on his back, quickly set up his laptop.

After some searching, he found an interface for a line and connected his device.

‘The Shelter 12988 system uses ‘Sky’, and I was once part of the project team…’

Net Bug said, boasting to a female soldier beside him, “Sky has a backdoor. After a system reboot, all doors will open for five minutes…”

“Five minutes is too short!” the female soldier, glancing at him meaningfully, remarked.

Net Bug’s face reddened, “Red Pepper, I last at least two hours…”

Red Pepper, the code name of the woman, smiled slightly and turned to Wolf, “Captain, is five minutes enough?”

“Five minutes is too short, at least three hours!” Wolf responded.

Net Bug nodded and said, “I’ll set up a program to delay the automatic closing of the doors for three hours…”

After some more work, there was a loud sound and the ground nearby suddenly cracked open.

Accompanied by a series of mechanical ‘clicks’, all the doors controlled by the system in the entire base opened at that moment.

“Is the elevator working?” Wolf looked down through the shaft.

‘It’s not working, the line is cut…’ someone replied.

‘Set up the wire rope, prepare to go down!’ Wolf ordered.

Soon, two soldiers took out ropes, secured them to the ground, and lowered the steel cables down.

‘Hound, Black Cat, you two go down first!’

‘Yes!’

Two soldiers stepped forward and quickly attached themselves to the ropes, descending straight down through the shaft..
