Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

The Knights of Pinewood and Sleigh is a country knight order in France. When Chen Xin asked the autonomous city to form a knight order, several surrounding cities jointly funded the formation of the knight order.

As for this somewhat nondescript name of the Knights, it comes from the specialties 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 to the Alps and some agricultural and sideline products to maintain the city's financial income.

The local pine wood and the sleds hand-made from pine wood are among the few local specialties, so when the Knights were named, someone proposed to use this name.

There are not many people in this knight order. There are about 20 volunteers in the surrounding cities. They are the first members of the knight order.

They obtained a batch of decent equipment, plus some local special sleds from the surrounding cities, plus a few snowmobiles prepared by the members of the Knights, they became this Knights of all belongings.

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

They mostly use the few snowmobiles and sleds of the Knights to help the local residents transport some things, or help the local self-government agencies to 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. They volunteered to join the knight order to do something for their hometown.

Not having a combat mission made them more comfortable, after all, no one likes fighting.

And if there is a real security problem in the local area, they are likely to face all their acquaintances.

That's why they're happy to get things like moving things or helping the self-governing agency tinker with them every day. They don't even fire a gun except to pay blood taxes on the front lines.

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

With the recovery of the industrial capacity of European countries, the situation in all countries is warming up, and these small towns where the Knights are located have also benefited from this, and life has become much better.

As a result, the Knights also lived a lot in their small days, and they also bought some new belongings in the regiment.

For the surrounding small towns and knights, such a day can be said to be very good. If they hadn't sent people to pay the blood tax, they even felt that it was not much different from the previous life.

That is to say, it was a little darker and colder, and although everyone's life was a little bitter, but now they can cope with it and live their life.

Originally, everyone thought that life would be like this in the future, but a piece of news spread after a group of members of the Knights who had paid the blood tax returned.

"You know? Countries are preparing for a big counterattack, and they are hoarding supplies everywhere! When we were on the front line, the army even tried to recover some of the lost territory of the salient!" The members of the Knights who had just returned from the front line took advantage of their vacation time. , bragging about the gossip he heard in the local tavern.

In the past, the main industries of these small cities were all kinds of agricultural and sideline products, and winemaking was naturally possible.

Although there was no sunlight after the disaster, and the food production was terribly low, after the days were a little better, they still managed to get something that could ferment, and then brewed something that could barely be called wine.

For most old drinkers, this can only serve as a consolation, better than nothing, but it makes the tavern flourish again.

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

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

But this time, what they are boasting is not the face-to-face dance with alien creatures, but the big news that countries intend to shift from defense to counterattack against alien creatures.

"Really, little Jimmy? Are they really going to fight back against those alien monsters?" An elderly man couldn't help but ask when he heard the members of the Knights say this.

This is the bad thing about this kind of small town. Everyone knows each other. Maybe you meet an old man who attended your baptism when you were young, and watched you soaked in cold water by the priest's feet and urinated in a pot by the way. .

Compared with being known to others about the dark history from childhood to adulthood, being called a nickname is no longer a big deal.

The knights member called Little Jimmy put down his glass and said confidently: "Of course it's true! When we were on the front line, we built several new ammunition depots specifically for the army, and they were already stocking up ammunition, and Bob also participated in the counterattack, and the army pulled back a line of defense that had been shot out of the salient. I heard him say that he killed at least 200 alien monsters!"

"Good job! Bob!" A member of the Knights named Bob was also in the tavern, and little Jimmy's boast made everyone in the tavern cheer for him.

For those who stayed behind, the alien creatures were still a little far away. After all, it is unlikely that a small city like them would have people from the front-line occupied area under the current conditions.

So the only thing they know about alien creatures is the dictation of these knights who went to the front line to pay the blood tax.

Bob raised his glass in a gesture, 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 town. They are only discussing it without any real feeling.

While their discussion was in full swing, a land-propelled ship was landing at the knight order's station.

The head of the knights and several important members stood in front of the landslide, welcoming the people who got off the ship.

It was a logistics officer who had come to pick up the knights every time they paid the blood tax, 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 is not carried out by the same landline ship, but a ship full of people and sent to each knight order one by one or one by one. .

"Pinewood and Sleigh Knights, there are 4 people in the blood tax this time, let's get on the boat." The officer checked the list in his hand and checked the members who came to pay the blood tax before letting them board the boat.

The captain of the knights watched them get on 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 to the ship, they are 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 that each country is preparing to counterattack, and each knight order needs to be prepared, specific requirements. You can look at the file."
