Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

The pine and sled knights are a rural knights in France. When Chen Xin asked the autonomous city to form the knights, several surrounding cities jointly funded the knights.

　　 As for the name of this somewhat nondescript knight group, it comes from a specialty of several surrounding cities.

　　 These cities are all located in the foothills of the Alps. They are small cities in the mountains. In the past, they mainly relied on tourists visiting the Alps and some agricultural and sideline products to maintain the city’s financial income.

　　 The local pine wood and the sleigh made of pine wood are considered to be one of the few local specialties, so when the Knights named it, someone suggested to use this name.

　　 There are not many people in this knight group. There are about two dozen volunteers in the surrounding cities, and they are the first members of the knight group.

They obtained a batch of decent equipment, and several nearby cities bought them some local specialty sledges, plus a few snowmobiles prepared by the members of the knights, and they became the knights. All the belongings.

　　Because the surrounding cities are very small, and the population is small, everyone knows each other, and even relatives, the Knights actually do not have many tasks to maintain law and order.

　　 They mostly use the knights’ snowmobiles and sledges to help local residents transport some things, or help local autonomous agencies do some commissioned work, but they are not combat missions.

　　 This seems to be better for the people of this knight order. Many of them are just forest guards or ordinary local residents. To join the knight order voluntarily is to do something for their hometown.

　　 There is no combat mission but it makes them more comfortable. After all, no one likes fighting.

　　 And if security problems really occur in the local area, all they need to face are likely to be their acquaintances.

　　 So they are also happy to receive work every day like moving things or helping self-governing agencies to repair things. Apart from the need to go to the front line to pay the blood tax, they have not even fired a gun.

　　 But this is really not a problem for such a small place, and even some young people with ideals have taken the initiative to join them and become the new blood of the Knights.

　　 With the recovery of industrial capacity in European countries, the situation in all countries is picking up. The small towns where the Knights are located have also been lightened, and life has become a lot better.

　　 The Knights also had a lot of nourishment following their little days, and some new belongings were also added to the regiment.

　　 For the surrounding towns and the knights, this kind of day can be said to be very good. If they don't have to send people to pay the blood tax, they even feel that this is not much different from the previous life.

　　 means that it is a bit darker and a bit colder. Although everyone's life has been a little bitter, they can handle it now.

　　 At first, everyone thought that life would be like this in the future, but a news spread after a group of members of the Knights who had paid the blood tax came back.

"Do you know? Countries are preparing for a big counterattack, hoarding supplies everywhere! When we were on the front line, the army even tried to regain some of the lost ground of the protrusions!" The members of the Knights who had just returned from the front line took advantage of their vacation. , Bragging about the gossip he heard in the local tavern.

　　The main industries of these small cities used to be various agricultural and sideline products, and winemaking is naturally possible.

　　 Although there was no sunshine after the disaster, and the food production was terribly low, but after the day was a little better, they still figured out a way to make something that can be fermented, and then made something that can barely be called wine.

　　 For most of the old drunks, this can only serve as a comfort. It is better than nothing, but it makes the tavern flourish again.

　　 Everyone likes to come to a pub for a drink, chat with other people, brag, it is one of the few entertainment activities now.

　　 So these knights who have just returned from the front line naturally like to come to the tavern and brag about their experience on the battlefield.

　　 But what they brag about this time is not about dancing face-to-face with alien creatures, but about the big news that various countries plan to shift from defense to alien creatures.

　　 "Really little Jimmy? Are they really going to fight back against those alien monsters?" An elderly man could not help but ask when he heard the Knights say this.

This kind of small city is not good. Everyone knows each other. Maybe you met an old man who participated in your baptism when you were young. He watched you being soaked in cold water by the priest's feet, and by the way, he urinated a pot of water. .

　　 Compared with the black history from childhood to childhood, it is not a big deal to be called a nickname.

The Knights called Little Jimmy put down his wine glass and said vowedly: "Of course it is true! When we were on the front line, we built several new ammunition depots specifically for the army. They are already hoarding ammunition, and Bob also participated in the counterattack, and a piece of defense that had been shot out of the bulge was pulled back by the army. I heard him say that he killed at least two hundred alien monsters!"

　　 "Good job! Bob!" A member of the knights named Bob was also in the tavern. Little Jimmy's bragging made everyone in the tavern cheer for him.

For those who stay behind, the aliens are still a little far away. After all, small cities like them are unlikely to have frontline enemy-occupied areas under these conditions. People came.

　　 So the only thing they know about alien creatures is based on the dictation of the members of the Knights who went to the front line to pay the blood tax.

　　Bob raised his wine glass and gestured for a moment, confirming what little Jimmy said was true.

　　 However, even if it is confirmed that the countries are indeed preparing to fight back, this kind of thing is still too far away from the residents of the small city. They are just discussing it without any real feeling.

　　 While their discussion was in full swing, a land cruiser was landing at the Knights’ garrison.

　　 The leader of the Knights and several important members stood in front of the cruiser, welcoming the people who got off the ship.

　　It was a logistics official who came to the Knights to receive blood tax every time before, and it was the same this time.

Due to some procedural reasons, picking up people to pay the blood tax and sending back the people who have paid the blood tax are not executed by the same land cruiser, but one full of people, to each Knight Order one by one or one by one. .

　　 "Pine and Sled Knights, this time there are 4 people for blood tax, let's get on the ship." The officer checked the list in hand, and checked the members who paid the blood tax, and then they were allowed to board the ship.

　　 The knight leader watched them board the ship, and he was a little relieved. Paying the blood tax can be said to be the most important thing for the knights. If they can successfully send people aboard, they will be half done.

But this time there was still a little surprise, because the logistics officer handed a document to the head of the regiment: “I believe you should have heard the news. Every country is preparing to fight back. All knights need to be prepared for specific requirements. You can read the file."
