The Ultimate War Of The Apocalypse-Chapter 617 - 610 Breaking the Door

The situation was going too smoothly, which made Gao Yuan somewhat incredulous; he felt it was a conspiracy or a trap.

How could an organization of fanatics with staunch beliefs simply open their gates after a few words?

It’s said that the most solid fortresses are breached from within, but when actually faced with such a situation, Gao Yuan still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

However, Ram seemed quite accustomed to this sort of thing. In his view, shattering the enemy’s morale, forcing them to surrender, or persuading them to defect was not too uncommon.

This was all about the ability to grasp the enemy’s state of mind, and Gao Yuan was still too young.

In any case, now that the gate was open, they had to enter. Gao Yuan, with his knife in hand, charged into the fortress.

The interior of the fortress was vast, but it was divided into individual small rooms, each one a standalone mini-fort with three to four people standing guard.

This was a type of defense that had been phased out by modern warfare, but in the current apocalyptic setting, having many small sections within a large fortress meant that if someone threw a grenade through a firing hole or rocketed a room, the damage would be confined to a very small area.

If surrounded by zombies, it would be impossible for the fortress to be breached from the outside; and for special forces that lack siege capabilities, like Satan’s team, even if the main gate or a section of wall was blown up, the inside of the fortress would still be able to form an extremely dense crossfire, as these isolated mini-forts had very strong defensive capabilities.

The Sanitation Workers seemed to have designed this fortress specifically against Satan’s combat style. Ram should be quite proud, because Satan and his troop’s decapitation capabilities were so superior that Djibouti’s Sanitation Workers had to design a defensive structure that was ineffective in modern warfare, only useful against special operations, and particularly effective for Decapitation Operations.

Many people inside the small rooms of the fortress were watching Gao Yuan.

And when Ram followed inside, he was first astonished by the layout of the fortress, then felt a wave of relief.

Murphy had been here before; he knew the layout inside. So, according to the intelligence provided by Murphy, it was supposed to be a large space to protect the entrance of the underground shelter.

Either Murphy had lied, or the Sanitation Workers had modified the fortress on short notice.

Ram raised his gun, still very vigilant towards the many people inside the fortress.

A man wearing a colonel’s uniform, holding a pistol in his hand, stood in front of Gao Yuan and spoke with an uncertain tone.

"Are you... really a Celestial?"

Gao Yuan surely couldn’t understand, so he showed no reaction, but Ram naturally understood and loudly said, "You will understand soon enough; what’s real cannot be faked."

Not a direct answer, but Ram’s response was indeed full of wisdom.

The colonel suddenly smiled, then with a sigh of emotion, said, "I’ve always thought about this—if you are a Celestial, why come to extinguish humanity? The Graycloaks really are traitors! Traitors to humanity, the Elder Council’s decision to merge with the Graycloaks was too foolish!"

The situation was decided. The colonel turned around, raising his left hand and said loudly, "Everyone, return to your combat positions. We now only fight for the Celestial! If anyone tries to harm the Celestial, fight back decisively!"

Ram translated the colonel’s words in a low voice for Gao Yuan, and after the colonel finished speaking, Gao Yuan suddenly said, "No, not fighting for the Celestial, but for yourselves, for humanity."

Gao Yuan spoke slowly, but the colonel understood. He hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "You are right."

Gao Yuan glanced at the floor, looking for the real entrance to the underground shelter, but he couldn’t see it, so he immediately asked, "Where is the entrance?"

The colonel immediately pointed to a house and said, "Here, right here. The underground bunker is 30 meters below here, with an elevator that can accommodate a car. It can only be accessed by elevator, but this entrance can only be controlled from the inside—we have no way to open it."

The interior of the fortress was divided into many independent small spaces. The place pointed out by the colonel was an ordinary-looking concrete hut, which hid the elevator room within.

Gao Yuan looked towards Ram, who quickly ran his hand along the nearby wall and asked, "When was this modified?"

"Finished less than ten days ago!"

Ram breathed a sigh of relief and nodded at Gao Yuan.

It wasn’t that Murphy was lying; rather, after realizing that a decisive battle with the Solar System was inevitable, the Sanitation Workers had reinforced this fortress against Satan’s decapitation tactics.

Ram pointed to the elevator room and asked, "Can it be blown open?"

"Yes! The elevator room isn’t particularly strong. It can definitely be blown open."

Ram’s brows furrowed, and he spoke in a low voice, "An underground bunker meant for refuge shouldn’t have such a simple entrance. Are there other entrances?"

The colonel spread his hands and said, "I personally suspect there’s another entrance, but I don’t know where it is. It’s a secret, guarded by a dedicated force—uh, a force more trusted by the Elder Council."

In special operations, intelligence comes first. In carrying out a decapitation operation, you must know where the enemy’s head is, but now, Ram didn’t have time to ask more.

"Blow the elevator doors now!"

After speaking rapidly, Li Jinfang and Ailin immediately rushed toward the elevator room, while Ram turned to the colonel and asked, "Is there electronic interference? Where is the source of interference, and how can we destroy it?"

The colonel shrugged and said, "There are many—at least six sources of interference within the city, including dedicated electronic warfare vehicles and fixed interference sources created from converted electronic warfare pods."

Ram looked at Gao Yuan. His face was hidden behind a mask, so his expression was not visible, but his tone was urgent.

"We’ve lost communication. We can’t pinpoint the exact location of the Ark of the Covenant. I’m now certain that the enemy is moving the Ark, and going down there... it’s going to be very dangerous..."

Gao Yuan did not hesitate and said, "Blow it open!"

Li Jinfang had already placed the explosives. He ran out and shouted loudly, "Take cover, ready to blow!"

Ram made a quick judgment and yelled, "Big Dog, go rendezvous with Little Egg and then rush over for support. Toad, Tyrannosaurus, prepare for assault! Detonate!"

With a boom, the elevator room was blasted open, and the hydraulically controlled metal door was completely blown open, falling into the dark elevator shaft.

Dust billowed out of the elevator room, and at that moment, Ram said to Gao Yuan, "You go down first! We’ll follow immediately!"

Ignoring the unsettled dust in the elevator shaft, Gao Yuan approached the edge of the shaft. Then Ram said to Grolyov, "Big Dog, coordinate with Mr. Colonel and hurry over for support. We might not have much time left."

After speaking, Ram peered into the elevator shaft, then he quickly said, "Go down!"
