After the battle, everyone took the elevator back to the action hall. At this moment, the electric power unit was already in operation, and the entire hall was powered on. However, most of the light pipes were short-circuited. Only a small portion of them could be lit up, but it was enough to provide basic lighting.

After that, Tie Zha sent out some people to clean up the corpses in the hall and arranged for a few more people to stand guard in the stairwell. Hagrid led Tang De and the others to organize an area for the wounded to rest.

After everything was arranged, Tie Zha and Hagrid counted the people together. None of the explorers from Windsand Castle died this time, only slightly injured. Nine of the explorers trapped in the cabin died, including the previous three. A total of twelve companions had been lost. Currently, fifteen people remained, including Quinn.

After counting the number of people, Alva stepped forward to make a suggestion. The underground shelter was well preserved, and most of the equipment could be used normally. As long as the water purifier on the lower level could be repaired, it could be occupied as a long-term stronghold.

This suggestion was accepted on the spot by Tie Zha. He had scouts and now he had electricity, so it would be easy to explore. After resting for a while, Tie Zha returned to the fourth floor and used the corpses of the living dead to hatch thousands of scouts, turning the entire underground shelter upside down.

The shelter is divided into six floors, each of which has tens of thousands of square meters and can accommodate a large number of people. After thorough investigation, there were still more than 300 living dead underground. However, they were all scattered, and there were no particularly powerful “black-blooded living dead” among them. It was only a matter of time before they were cleared.

After returning to the hall, Alva brought another piece of good news. He took Tie Zha and the others to the power generation room and pulled out the blueprints of the underground shelter from his computer. He pointed to a large cabin on the fifth floor and said, “This is a weapons warehouse. There should be a large number of firearms and bullets from before the Ancient Nuclear War.”

Hearing this news, Tie Zha was extremely excited. After two hours of repairing, he took Hagrid, Black Pig King, Tang De, Quinn, and the others down the elevator to the fifth floor. He then commanded the scouts to lure the living dead into the passageway one by one and let them surround him. His battle prowess with the Black Pig King was close to that of a Golden High Ranked warrior. Among the people present, the weakest was Hagrid, but at least he had the strength of a Golden Beginner Ranked warrior.

After killing more than 30 living dead without any danger, everyone arrived in front of the arsenal. The hatch in front of him was not big, and its diameter was only one person tall. In the middle was a metal disc similar to the rudder of a ship. The Black Pig King stepped forward and tried. He found that he could not move, and he could not find a switch-like pull rod anywhere. The furious Black Pig King kicked a few times, but the thick metal door remained motionless, appearing exceptionally sturdy.

“The explosives may not be able to explode.” Hagrid said as he looked at the round door.

Just as he was worried, Alva took the elevator to the fifth floor and said to them, “This door is controlled by the main computer. Give me some time and I’ll be able to crack it very soon.” After saying that, he went up.

Three hours later …

The few men sitting in the passageway stared at each other with wide eyes. They were all quiet people, so the atmosphere was very dull.

“No need to wait, I’m going up.” The Black Pig King stood up and stretched.

At this moment, the turntable embedded in the round cabin door suddenly moved.

“Rolla … Rolla … Rolla … Rolla … Rolla …”

The sound of gears spinning came from the inside. Everyone immediately stood up and maintained a distance of several meters from the cabin door.

“Chi chi chi …”

The moment the turntable stopped moving, a long sound of discouragement rang out from the surroundings. About ten minutes later, the metal door opened with a loud bang. At the same time, the lights in the cabin lit up, illuminating the room as if it was daytime.

The Black Pig King lowered his head and took the lead in entering the arsenal. The ground was as bright and clean as a mirror. Under the illumination of the lights, it was reflecting their mirror images. The room was filled with gun racks and all kinds of firearms, boxes of plastic boxes and ammunition boxes with the words “ammunition” printed on them filled more than half of the room.

“Fire God Cannon!” The Black Pig King stared around with his eyes wide open. He discovered a row of heavy machine guns in the corner and immediately rushed over with large strides.

“Heavens, M4A1, AK47, is this the Ancient Museum?” After entering, Tang De looked around and sighed.

A moment later, Alva also came down. Looking at all kinds of firearms that had been preserved intact, he couldn’t help but sigh, “Anaerobic preservation technology is really not simple …” After all, these things had existed for more than 1,700 years and were actually intact.

“Kacha! Kacha!” Tie Zha fiddled with a peach-hilted assault rifle and quickly learned to use it. After all, the firearms were all the same.

After obtaining sufficient ammunition, Tie Zha immediately gathered all the combatants and began to slaughter them. Starting from the second floor, they swept down layer by layer. Half a day later, there was not a single living dead person in the underground shelter.

Just like that, Tie Zha and the others stationed themselves here.

A week later, Alva fixed the water purifier and most of the lamps in the warehouse with spare parts, then fixed the air filter, and then brought everyone up and down to clean up. The entire shelter was instantly renovated.

That morning, everyone took a bath, changed into new clothes, and arrived at the open space in front of the shelter.

There were no clouds in the sky, and the warm sunlight shone on the snow-covered ground, plating the silent faces with golden sand. The corpses of the twelve expedition members were quietly lying in the snow with their eyes closed.

“Thank you for your sacrifices and sacrifices. You have opened up a new place for us to live in. In memory of you, this place will be called Stronghold 12 in the future.” With that, Hagrid took a step forward, lowered the torch, and lit the corpse that had been poured with fuel.

“Peng peng peng peng peng peng …”

As the crowd burst into flames, Tie Zha gave the order and everyone raised their guns neatly, firing at the sky at an angle of 60 degrees.

After three shooting salutes, Hagrid took out a small harmonica from his bosom and began to play.

As the melodious sound of the zither spread far away, the hunters began to sing the ancient ballad in a low voice …

We woke up from the cemetery,

Wearing mottled armor,

Staring at the withered earth.

We have nothing,

Only courage and freedom remained.

We strolled along in the darkness,

Hunt all evil beings,

Bringing peace and tranquillity to the people.

Beloved, please light a candle in front of the tomb and guide us back from the darkness.

We will return to you with all the treasures and glory of the cemetery,

Put on the brightest diamond for you by the warm stove.

If one day,

We’re not back,

Please don’t be sad,

We’re just back in the arms of the earth,

She fell asleep quietly …
