Chapter 593 - 564 Martial Law in Dog Town (Supplement)
[Communicator: Mr. Hans]
[Mr. Hans, "Burger King?! Are you a ghost!"]
[Lille, "Don’t scream."]
Hans’s voice was a bit too loud. The improperly connected brain-machine interface caused a bit of leakage during the audio demodulation, making Lille jump.
But this really wasn’t Lille’s fault.
Because Hans... Hans had a radiation measuring device on hand.
The nuclear bomb that exploded on the Taiping State’s riverbank was of low quality, more like a dirty bomb. The ratio of reactive elements wasn’t high, and on the contrary, the radiation exceeded the limit.
Just a gust of wind, and the radiation would spread over the entire Taiping State, Dog Town included.
Hans had seen a nuclear explosion, so the first thing he did upon seeing this was to put the radiation meter outside the window, and sure enough—
This was a nuclear explosion!
And Dog Town, still considered a war zone, reacted even faster. They began the radiation armed exchanges that very night.
Anyone with some military knowledge knew that surviving such an explosion was highly unlikely.
But... true, there were cases of surviving a nuclear explosion, like Adam Hammer.
[Mr. Hans, "...Do you have any proof that you’re the Burger King?"]
[Lille: "Of course. I need to get into Dog Town. Give me a pass."]
[Mr. Hans: "You? You think..."]
[Lille: "I really need to get in. But this pass is mainly for the Animal Gang—a bunch of showy bodyguards I just hired. I need to take some equipment in."]
[Mr. Hans: "I’m not a god, Burger King. This place..."]
[Lille: "I told you, it’s for the Animal Gang. I don’t need you to give me a pass, and I’m going in on business. Think about it."]
[Mr. Hans: "Alright... But you need to know this isn’t exactly a good place, and nobody wants you to come in."]
[Lille: "Don’t be so pessimistic."]
"Hans talks as if we want to go in. That shithole Dog Town, and they treat the Netherworld Dog like a treasure."
V was very disdainful. Hans’s tone made her quite displeased.
In the original work, Hans was actually very happy about V suddenly appearing in Dog Town—
Because a fool willing to kill for two hundred bucks coming to work made everyone happy.
But shoving in a bunch of terrorists who could set off a nuclear bomb, no one would be happy about that.
"Very normal."
Lille wasn’t overly harsh on Hans. After all, it was quite terrifying. If Hansen, the boss of Dog Town, knew he was coming, he would likely initiate martial law...
Just thinking about this, two combat mechas suddenly walked out from the armed checkpoint in front of the Animal Gang’s convoy—
[Netherworld Dog Mecha]
[Description: Warzone exclusive unmanned mecha, the main infantry unit used by Military Technology in the Unification War.]
[Equipped with two 30mm cannons, loaded with high-explosive ammunition; small missile launchers; multi-modal sensors; titanium alloy armor...]
[Genuine military equipment.]
The mechas walked out slowly.
As the mechas walked out, unmanned drones also took off.
The entrance to Dog Town is beneath the unfinished EBM Peizhuo Petrochemical Stadium.
This massive stadium reaches nearly a hundred meters at its highest point and covers over 300,000 square meters, making it a real world-class project.
The entrance to Dog Town is underneath it, made up of huge reinforced concrete structures. This wall is nearly forty meters tall and thick enough to withstand a tactical nuclear weapon attack.
High on the wall hung the banner of its controllers—the Netherworld Dog’s flag, with a black dog on a white background. Below the flag, the concrete surface bore the Military Technology insignia, as the Netherworld Dog once worked for Military Technology, and Dog Town was originally a frontline base established for Military Technology.
From outside, you could see massive cranes standing behind the wall, though these construction devices had long since stopped operating, just like the stadium next to them.
The entire entrance passage was covered with various scanners providing no blind spots. Various armored vehicles of the Netherworld Dog were parked to the side. Heavy machine guns capable of easily turning a vehicle to scrap metal were everywhere, and fully armed Netherworld Dog soldiers with military-grade firepower watched every person in the passage—
Along with those unmanned mechas, if anyone displayed any abnormality, they would be torn to pieces on the spot.
The scale and intensity of this defense were even stronger than Military Technology’s border walls—
After all, theoretically, this was the front line, the Unification War’s front line for Military Technology, where the Netherworld Dog had launched a surprise attack on Taiping State from Southern California and established this stronghold.
Theoretically, this was a battlefield, so the presence of such conventional military equipment was not surprising.
However, Dog Town was only theoretically a war zone but practically a super black market.
Conventional detection channels were enough for defense; the drones and mechas couldn’t and didn’t need to be on all the time, so...
So Hansen was indeed wary of Lille sneaking in.
But he couldn’t stop him.
The Animal Gang’s "visa" passed quickly. Lille saw the leader’s flag car in conversation with the inspection soldiers—
Dog Town’s primary income source was smuggling.
The war zone’s unique nature made it impossible for anyone to track where the illegal goods flowing out of here came from.
Sometimes people would even unload premium goods here, buy piles of junk, pirated, and inferior products, and sell them off as genuine items.
In short, it was complicated, but it was a black market, an international black market.
The Animal Gang had a visa and needed a plausible identity, which was that of a military equipment dealer, selling what the Voodoo Gang had stolen from Dexter.
Reasonable and legal, the Netherworld Dog soldiers quickly let the Animal Gang pass.
V was also a bit in awe of the fully armed defense line. Despite her combat prowess, she couldn’t punch through a steel-reinforced concrete facility designed for nuclear defense.
Neither could Jack.
V withdrew her gaze and asked, "How do we get in?"
"I know a shortcut," Lille said, leading them to the side of the high wall.
This shortcut was on the side of the high wall.
Dog Town’s explosion-proof gates were actually connected to the EBM Stadium. When Kurt Hansen took over, he used the stadium as one side of the wall, cutting off the electricity and reducing the construction period of the wall.
This resulted in many backdoors in the stadium that even the Netherworld Dog didn’t know about.
Lille originally didn’t know either, but the game mentioned that there’s a parking lot on the side, with many Netherworld Dog vehicles, and the defense wasn’t too strict. If they sneaked in, they could get under the stadium, restore power, and use the internal facilities to enter Dog Town.
However...
When Lille and the others reached the side and saw the parking lot, there were three Bimong Armored Vehicles, and the mechas and drones came down from above.
The parking lot had turned into a fully armed station, making sneaking in difficult.
"What now?" V puckered her lips, "I’m good at stealing, but there are too many people here."
Jack agreed: "It’s hard to sneak through."
Clearly, the current situation was very different from the game.
Hansen wouldn’t activate these metal hulks to stop a well-known mercenary from sneaking in, but he would definitely try to prevent a nuclear bomb from slipping through.
[Munemasa, "Bring me in, I can shut them all down."]
[Lille: "No."]
That would be a nightmare. Bringing Munemasa out again would let the whole world know the Burger King was running around with Munemasa.
Lille thought for a moment, "Let’s keep things low-key for now. Our people will arrive gradually. They can bring some equipment and advertise a bit to Colonel Hansen."
Gone were the days of brute force; it was time to use some leisurely tech skills.
For instance, Little Flat Head would be quite handy right now.
