The Ultimate War Of The Apocalypse-Chapter 385 - 378: Sniper Cannon

A massive and intact underground bunker, and it was even seized by force, Gao Yuan thought Nate must be really lucky.

Gao Yuan and the others followed Nate into a house within an underground base, which looked just like an ordinary home, except it was located inside an underground bunker.

There was even a dedicated conference room.

In the conference room, before an oval meeting table, Nate stretched out his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down. After clearing his throat, he stood at one end of the meeting table, raised one hand, and said solemnly, "Gentlemen, and this lady, the tour ends here. You must have some understanding of my strength by now. So, do you have any questions, or any needs? Feel free to put them forward, and I will try my best to accommodate."

Gao Yuan and the others exchanged glances, and after a brief moment of thought, before Gao Yuan could speak, Xinghe said, "I want to take a bath."

Nate pointed and said, "There is a luxurious bathroom over here."

Quickly, Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Taking a bath is not urgent, um, Mr. Schumacher, could you tell me why you are being so forthright with us?"

With his hands clasped behind his back, Nate pondered for a moment before answering in a deep voice, "I didn’t expect you to ask this question. I can answer you because Poseidon had mentioned long ago that Shenzhou would send people here, that someone would definitely come. And this base... belongs to Ram; I’m merely occupying or, let’s say, borrowing it. Therefore, I must do my best to assist and accommodate you."

Gao Yuan immediately understood; he had asked this question because he and Nate were not just unfamiliar with each other but complete strangers. Yet Nate, though not overly enthusiastic, was indeed responsive and had done his utmost to help.

Gao Yuan couldn’t believe that Nate was this cooperative because he simply liked the look of him; there had to be a reason for Nate’s actions, and the answer was that this place belonged to Ram.

Gao Yuan began to ponder: Ram had several thousand people under his command, supported by a major arms dealer, had stockpiled a large amount of weapons and ammunition, owned several of his bases, had the support of Shenzhou, and, yes, the backing of the largest informant. Truly a bigwig of the underground world.

Ram was already a big shot before, but now in the post-apocalyptic world, doesn’t that mean Ram has become a local strongman, the kind who can carve out his own kingdom? Truly a model success story of a post-apocalyptic survivor.

Gao Yuan glanced at Li Jingang, habitually seeking advice from others, but after just a glance at Li Jingang, he immediately remembered what Li Yang had said.

So Gao Yuan said to Nate, "You’re also aware of our situation. Well, let me be direct, we need our wounded to be treated, and to wait here for reinforcements to arrive, which means people from Israel. I wonder how many men you can spare to help?"

Without any hesitation, Nate said, "I will dispatch a squad to help you find Ram. As for the number of people, it will be half the size of the Egg Bomb Squad."

We should avoid this topic for now, Gao Yuan said again, "There’s something I need to discuss with you in advance; that is, if the Sanitation Worker attacks again, and there’s a possibility that this place could be surrounded, we will evacuate here beforehand."

Nate waved his hand and said, "Of course, there is no point in you staying here."

Apart from those two things, there wasn’t much else that was urgent, Gao Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Well, I don’t have any questions or needs for now. If anything comes up later, I’ll discuss it with you then."

Nate nodded, then said in a deep voice, "You can have four tents, as these are the dwellings we can spare after combat reduction. Or you can also stay here; this is the safest place. It’s your choice."

There was no need to choose. Gao Yuan would rather live in the desert outside than in this dark underground shelter. Although there were lights inside, the utter darkness outside was enough to send shivers down his spine.

No normal person liked living underground, so Gao Yuan didn’t hesitate to say, "We’ll stay outside, but we need to take a shower here."

Nate stroked his chin with his hand, then nodded and said, "That’s fine. Water here is precious, so please use it sparingly. And, keep my bathroom clean. After you finish, clean it thoroughly. My adjutant does not like cleaning rooms others have used. He is my adjutant, not a serviceman, so please keep that in mind."

Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Of course, we will ensure your bathroom is left very clean."

Nate nodded, spoke a few words to his adjutant, then turned his head and said, "I must go upstairs. He will take you to the bathroom. Goodbye."

Nate nodded again, then turned and walked out of the meeting room with his head held high, his adjutant making a welcoming gesture.

Xinghe went off happily to bathe, followed by Gao Yuan. Aside from Xinghe, who took a very long time, everyone else kept their showers under fifteen minutes, because Nate had made a point that water was very valuable, which meant that it must be scarce here.

The only exception was Ashraf, who refused to bathe himself.

Feeling refreshed after the shower, Gao Yuan and the others left the underground shelter under the guidance of the adjutant and returned to the parking lot. Once above ground and seeing the soldiers scattered in every corner, Gao Yuan felt he had returned to the land of the living.

A vast underground space, no matter how well-equipped, is improper for human dwelling and detrimental to mental health.

Upon emerging this time, Li Jingang looked around and soon made a new discovery. He said to Gao Yuan, "Look, look at the weapons in those soldiers’ hands."

Gao Yuan glanced in the direction Li Jingang was pointing and said, "What about them? Isn’t that a grenade launcher?"

Li Jingang nodded and said, "It is a grenade launcher, but that’s a Shenzhou sniper grenade launcher, and there are so many of them. I’ve observed for a bit—the ratio of rifles to grenade launchers is basically five to one. That ratio is way too high."

"Too high?"

"Extremely. In Shenzhou, sniper grenade launchers are new weapons, and they’re not equipped in large numbers. But here, it looks like sniper grenade launchers have become standard issue. Where did they get so many, and do they even have that many grenades? Also, I want to know how they use these sniper grenade launchers."

Li Jingang was very curious, but this was an easy question to answer. Upon arriving at Nate’s command post, which was a slightly larger tent, Gao Yuan immediately asked, "Mr. Schumacher, where did you get so many sniper grenade launchers? And in what battles do you use them?"

Nate sat behind a table, looked up at Gao Yuan, and said, "They were given by Shenzhou to Israel, and Israel gave me five hundred LG-5 grenade launchers. In our previous battles, this model of grenade launcher played quite an important role. In the fight against the Sanitation Workers, the LG-5 grenade launchers were even more crucial. Now, the LG-5 grenade launcher is an important part of our squad’s firepower. We believe that in the current apocalyptic war environment, the LG-5 grenade launcher is the best heavy weapon for a squad. Any other questions?"
