Chapter 321 Which man doesn't like a powerful weapon?
The return journey was much smoother than the way there.
It was as if all the mutated beasts within a hundred miles had disappeared after Lin Fan single-handedly wiped out this group of mutated beasts.
The convoy traveled smoothly and returned to Raccoon City the following evening.
Six armed pickup trucks led the way.
Eight fully loaded trucks followed behind.
Finally, three more Humvees and two armored personnel carriers were added.
"I'm back!"
"Boss Lin is back!"
"Holy crap, so many vehicles? And so much stuff loaded up?"
When the patrol team saw Lin Fan and his group returning with a full load, their faces lit up with excitement.
Soon, news of everyone's return spread, and people in the base rushed out to watch.
The convoy stopped in front of the municipal building, and Lin Fan jumped out of the car.
Lin Jianguo was already waiting at the door.
"dad."
"Um."
Lin Jianguo glanced at the convoy. "So much to show for it?"
"It's alright. We've only packed about half of the supplies, mostly ammunition and medical supplies, followed by food."
"it is good."
Lin Jianguo nodded.
"Thank you for your hard work. Let someone take everyone to eat first..."
"Oh, right, Dad."
"Um?"
"I also brought some other things back."
"Something else?" Lin Jianguo frowned slightly. "What is it?"
"Come with me and you'll see."
Lin Fan didn't say it directly, but instead led Lin Jianguo toward the last truck.
Lin Jianguo followed.
When the two approached, Lin Fan slightly lifted a corner of the tarpaulin covering it, gesturing for Lin Jianguo to look inside.
Lin Jianguo looked puzzled and subconsciously peered into the tarpaulin.
The next moment, he saw a huge metal frame with several metal objects more than a meter long on it.
At first, Lin Jianguo was very puzzled, but when he saw the military green paint and the yellow radiation warning signs on it...
He immediately felt a chilling and tingling sensation that shot from the soles of his feet straight to his head.
In an instant, everyone else was numb.
Then, his face changed from red to white, from white to green, and from green to purple.
"This...this is..."
"That's right, it's exactly what you're thinking of."
Seeing the old man's shocked expression, Lin Fan said with a grin, "And there are six of them."
"I... damn it..."
Upon hearing Lin Fan's answer, Lin Jianguo was completely taken aback. He grabbed Lin Fan by the back of the collar and whispered through gritted teeth,
"You bastard, are you out of your mind? Why did you pull the nuclear warhead back...?"
"What's wrong?"
"What else is wrong?"
Lin Jianguo took a deep breath.
Then I took another deep breath.
Then I took another deep breath.
"Is your brain filled with shit?!"
"..."
Lin Fan, who was full of anticipation, never expected that instead of receiving praise from the old man, he would be scolded, leaving him completely bewildered.
Before he could speak, Lin Jianguo lowered his voice again and shouted angrily:
"You brought this thing back to the base? Are you trying to send us all to heaven?!"
"Forehead……"
Hearing this, Lin Fan was also taken aback.
At the time, he was only thinking about possessing the good stuff for himself, completely ignoring its destructive power.
If this thing really exploded in Raccoon City...
The consequences are unimaginable.
But now that it's already been transported back, we can't just send it back, can we?
Besides, he didn't even intend to give it away!
"Dad, please calm down—"
How could I not be excited?!
Lin Jianguo grabbed his collar, spitting everywhere.
"These are six nuclear warheads! Six! And they're tactical! Do you even know what an explosion of these things means?!"
"Dad, calm down—"
"Calm down my ass!"
Do you think you're invincible?
So you don't take nuclear weapons seriously?
You may not value your life, but others do!
"..."
Lin Fan scratched his head awkwardly.
"Um... I was so excited when I saw it that I completely forgot about that..."
"Forgot?! How could you forget something like that?! Do you know how many people are following you around, begging for their lives?"
"I only realized it myself, but... now that I've already taken it back, I can't just send it back, can I?"
"..."
Lin Jianguo released his hand and rubbed his temples.
"What am I supposed to say about you...?"
"How about... we find a place to bury him?"
"Buried?! Where buried?! This thing is a bomb! If it explodes, the area within several kilometers will be affected..."
"What should we do then?" Lin Fan looked at the old man with a pitiful expression.
Lin Jianguo fell silent upon seeing this.
Yes, what should we do?
We can't really throw it out, can we?
These are six tactical nuclear warheads.
If you throw it out and someone else picks it up, it will be even more troublesome.
But you can't throw it out...
This thing is a huge hassle to keep in hand!
tsk...
What a troublesome brat!
"Let's go inside first and talk about it then."
After a long pause, Lin Jianguo sighed.
"Have someone drive the car to that open area to the north, away from the base, and then send someone to guard the spot."
"Okay."
Hearing that the old man didn't tell him to throw those things away, Lin Fan was very happy.
……
Soon, Lin Fan followed the old man to the conference room upstairs.
Lin Fan, the old man, and several core members sat around in the conference room.
On the table lay all the documents found at Cheyenne Mountain Base, including the detailed parameter table of the six tactical nuclear warheads...
This was the first time Lin Fan had seen these materials.
After seeing the data and parameters regarding the nuclear warheads, he smiled and said:
"Hehe, it's alright, the yield isn't too high."
"The smallest one is roughly equivalent to one thousand tons of TNT. The largest one is five thousand tons."
"A thousand tons isn't a lot?"
Hearing his words, Zhao Lei's lips twitched. "Damn it, the one the US dropped on Japan was only 20,000 tons..."
"Don't compare them like that," Night Owl interrupted. "A tactical nuclear warhead with a yield of one thousand tons has a kill radius of about one kilometer."
"One kilometer..." Lin Jianguo pondered.
"Yes, this kilometer radius doesn't exclude various bunkers. Of course, if it explodes in an open area, people and animals within a kilometer will basically have no chance of survival. But buildings will be preserved relatively intact," Howard added upon seeing this.
"What if it explodes inside the base?"
hiss--
Upon hearing this, everyone present gasped in shock.
An explosion occurred in the ground?
that……
Just imagining that scene sent chills down everyone's spine.
At the same time, these people truly realized that they had not only retrieved a powerful weapon, but also a deadly contraption.
"The entire base..."
Of the group, Howard, who knew the most about this stuff, paused for a moment and then said, "That's it."
"..."
As he spoke, the entire conference room fell completely silent.
At this moment, no one felt the joy of having obtained a nuclear bomb; instead, they felt it was a hot potato.
It's truly a case of "keeping it is deadly, but throwing it away is a waste"...
"So what should we do with this?"
After a long pause, Victor asked the core question.
"How about we throw it into the sea first? If we need it later, we can retrieve it. If we don't need it, it's better for it to explode in the sea than for it to explode right under our butts."
"No. If a nuclear warhead goes into the water and the sealing fails, the radiation will contaminate the entire ocean. The mutated beasts on land are already troublesome enough; if something else from the sea gets involved..."
"What should we do then? Should we bury it in the desert?"
"That won't work either. Most of the people alive in North America right now are crazy. If they dig them up, we might be the ones who suffer."
"Then should we tear it down?"
"It can't be disassembled." Howard shook his head. "The detonation device on this thing is encrypted. Forcibly disassembling it risks self-destruction."
"If this won't work and that won't work, then the rest will have to be kept at the base."
"..."
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent again, and for a moment, they all felt a headache coming on.
If they had known it would turn out this way, they would never have brought this thing back.
Seeing everyone's worried faces, Lin Jianguo rubbed his temples in exasperation and then looked at Lin Fan.
"You brat, you're the one who caused this mess. What do you say we do about it?"
"I...I don't know either."
Lin Fan shrugged. "I really hadn't thought it through. I just thought it would be useful, so I brought it back."
Although he said that, there was actually another way to deal with it: he could transform into Godzilla and swallow those nuclear warheads whole.
However, this would require him to transform into Godzilla.
Of course, more importantly, after the nuclear power plant incident, he had a feeling that his Godzilla form was about to evolve again.
Now, in the early stages of the disaster, it is not appropriate to put him into a long period of sleep.
Just as he was considering whether to use Godzilla mode, Lin Jianguo, looking furious and spitting as he spoke, shouted at him:
"Useful?! What's the use?!"
"What if we encounter an enemy we can't defeat someday? We can just throw one at them and solve all the problems," Lin Fan retorted softly.
"What if you get blown up yourself?!"
"You can't kill me."
"...You son of a bitch...="
Lin Jianguo took a deep breath.
You're amazing for not dying!
"Never mind. Now that we've got it back, let's figure out how to make good use of it."
After a while, he stood up helplessly and walked to the map hanging on the wall.
"You all take a look around our base and see if there are any suitable places to store that thing?"
"I think 30 kilometers to the northwest is a good distance; it's a Gobi Desert there," Zhao Lei said.
Is the geology stable over there?
"Stable. It's all rock."
"Then let's dig an underground warehouse over there," Lin Jianguo said, pointing to the map. "At least twenty meters deep, and reinforced with reinforced concrete on all four sides."
"This is no small project..." Victor exclaimed in astonishment.
"Even if it's not small, we still have to dig it up. Let's take it slow," Lin Jianguo said. "Anyway, that stuff doesn't expire."
"That's true..."
"But before that, the six warheads must be stored separately."
As if he had just thought of something, Lin Jianguo added, "In case one of them malfunctions, it won't cause the other five to explode as well."
"Dad is right." Lin Fan nodded. "Let's do as Dad says."
"..."
Hearing this, Lin Jianguo became even angrier.
"You bastard, this is all your fault! If it weren't for you, would we be in this mess?"
"Hehe." This time, Lin Fan didn't refute, but just scratched his head and pretended to be stupid.
"Stop grinning! Write me a self-criticism!" Lin Jianguo said with a dark face.
"……what?"
"What?! Write a self-criticism! Three thousand words! Due tomorrow!"
"..."
"No, old man, no matter what, I'm still the person in charge of this base. Writing a self-criticism is... well..."
However, before Lin Fan could finish speaking, he saw Lin Jianguo's expression, which seemed to say, "If you don't write this, I'll talk to your mother about it..."
Upon seeing this, Lin Fan's face immediately fell.
Ok!
It's just a self-criticism.
It's not like I haven't written this before when I was in school...
……
However, this day was destined to be anything but peaceful.
While Lin Fan and his group were discussing how to deal with the nuclear warheads, they were unaware that news of the warheads had already spread.
"What?! A nuclear warhead?!"
"Six more?!"
"Holy crap, did the boss manage to steal back the US's nuclear warheads?!"
"Stimulate!"
"It's all over, it's really going to be the end of the world."
"What are you afraid of? With the boss here, even a nuclear bomb can't hurt us."
"The problem is that this nuclear bomb is on our own base..."
"..."
Suddenly, all sorts of rumors about nuclear warheads were flying around.
Some say this was Lin Fan's backup plan, intended to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy at a crucial moment.
Some people say this is Lin Fan's collecting hobby, just like other people collecting antiques.
Some people even said that Lin Fan's actions were a prelude to war with the United States.
There are different opinions.
But regardless, one thing everyone agreed on...
That means their base has been completely established, and now they have no fear of other forces, not even national governments.
……
The next morning.
Lin Fan was pulled out of bed by Lin Jianguo.
"What about a self-criticism?"
"Haven't written it yet..."
"Three thousand characters, not a single one can be missing."
"Dad, I'm so old, why do I still have to write a self-criticism..."
"No matter how old you are, you have to write. Even at sixty, you have to write."
"..."
Lin Fan sat down at his desk with a bitter face.
"Hurry up and write. You're not allowed to eat breakfast until you finish."
"……no……"
Before Lin Fan could speak, Lin Jianguo closed the door and left.
Lin Fan stared blankly at the blank paper for ten minutes.
Then, he crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it into the trash can.
"Who's a good person who writes a self-criticism?"
After saying that, he lay back down on the bed and turned over.
"sleep."
Five seconds later, snoring began.
……
Meanwhile, in the conference room...
Lin Jianguo, Zhao Lei, Night Owl, and Howard were still in a meeting.
"We can no longer hold onto the nuclear warheads," Lin Jianguo said. "We must immediately begin digging underground warehouses, and start construction today."
"clear."
"Are we manpower enough?"
"That's enough. I've already sent Li Dazhuang with the engineering team to survey the terrain."
"it is good."
"Also, from today onwards, I will personally oversee these six warheads."
"Mr. Lin...you're all alone..."
"What's wrong? You're worried?"
"No..." Night Owl hesitated for a moment, "I meant, should we send someone to assist you?"
"No need," Lin Jianguo waved his hand. "The fewer people involved in this kind of thing, the better."
"All right."
End of the meeting.
Everyone dispersed.
Lin Jianguo stood alone in the conference room, looking at the six nuclear warhead parameter tables on the table.
"This kid..."
He sighed.
"This is getting more and more outrageous."
Although he was complaining about Lin Fan, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
Which man doesn't like a powerful weapon?
……
