This may also be because the "American Doomsday Foundation" has too many abandoned launch silos and cannot renovate them at all, and also because their place is too remote.
……
……
"Is this the launch silo you bought? Isn't it just a big concrete shell inside?" A little girl the same size as Anna asked her, standing outside a gate surrounded by barbed wire on the side of the road.
The little beauty now has her little feet resting on a small bicycle, her brown-gold hair hanging down in natural curls at the ends, and she is wearing a dark blue denim jacket.
She is so beautiful that she looks like a shining little angel.
In just a moment, the girlish heart of the otaku hiding in Anna's body melted.
Well, the little beauty who was asking her the question was Anna's only friend and playmate at school. During these six years, although Anna was not interested in the naughty kids in the United States, she still made a close friend and a friend.
Anna's best friend is different from those naughty kids in elementary school who only know how to play. This little beauty is now the youngest auditor at Kansas State University and a well-known little genius.
Play.
Today, the two little kids rode their bicycles from home to the wire mesh gate to see the "big business" that Anna had just bought.
"Uh~ McKenna, you're right...it's indeed just a big cement shell inside." Faced with the little beauty's question, Anna had no choice but to explain to her.
"However, there's a huge spring inside it that can absorb the shockwaves of a nuclear explosion...and the surface can also withstand electromagnetic pulses, so it's a perfect data security storage center."
"So you want to put a supercomputer in it?" The beautiful girl named McKenna suddenly realized after hearing what Anna said.
"Uh~ That's it..." Anna used the key to open the large iron gate outside, then walked inside with the little beauty, "And we can also use this place as a secret base."
"I see you're going to have to spend quite a bit of money on this data center and the secret base..."
After parking her bike, the beautiful McKenna kicked the gravel on the ground with her small leather shoes. She looked at the rusty gate at the entrance to the launch silo and the messy weeds on the small mound at the entrance...
The beautiful girl began to express her concern about Anna's financial situation.
She had seen her friend Anna spend money lavishly and then end up penniless.
PS: Please refresh the picture above later. Miss McKenna was inspired by "Young Sheldon", but Sheldon and his friends are not in this book.
Chapter 079 I feel like I've been cheated...
The little beauty McKenna actually has a close relationship with Anna's family, because her father is the other of the only two police officers in the pocket-sized police station in the small town of Wilburton.
As Chief Lorraine's only human subordinate, this guy named Joseph Danvers Jr. spends four or five days a week in his own gun shop.
Rather than saying that he is a policeman, it would be more accurate to say that this guy named Joseph came to the police station to work part-time as a policeman in order to make his own gun shop sell more products and obtain licenses more easily.
But because of this relationship, and because Anna used to go to Joseph's shooting range whenever she had nothing to do, she paid to practice shooting...
Of the annual pocket money, seventy to eighty percent went to the gun shop at the home of this slacking police officer.
So Anna became familiar with the beautiful girl McKenna, who was the same age as her.
Another important reason is that unlike her stupid father, McKenna is an absolute little genius in this world. When she was only 6 years old, she had already started to teach herself physics courses at the University of Kansas.
If it weren't for the fact that McKenna looked exactly like her aunt as a child...
The crushing difference in IQ is enough to make her stupid father doubt whether his hat is a little green.
But for Anna, who has an adult soul and university knowledge, the little beauty is neither like other 6-year-old kids who only know how to play crazy and make trouble, nor is she as stubborn as the redneck adults.
So when they were in school, she and Anna had a lot in common.
In addition, because the little beauty was too smart and too cute, she was bullied by those jealous musclemen at school, and Anna came to her rescue several times...
So the two of them became good friends who could talk about anything.
Well, we are the kind of good friends who stay up all night at each other’s houses and sleep in separate beds.
No matter how low she fucked, she still couldn't do something like taking advantage of someone's youth and ignorance... and then stripping naked and sleeping together.
Now she and McKenna were hanging out together because the university in Kansas was on vacation, and the beautiful girl who was studying hard had no place to go to class or the library, so the two of them could hang out together again.
And because the little beauty is very confident in her abilities and intelligence, even though she knows that Lorraine's family are wealthy and Anna earns tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in pocket money from work every year.
But she believed that no matter how much money the other person had, she would be able to earn it in the future and even become richer than others.
When facing Anna who spent money lavishly, the beautiful McKenna did not feel the jealousy, inferiority, or resentment that the other classmates felt.
So for Anna, who can see other people's micro-expressions and know whether others are lying, she feels very comfortable when she is with her.
The most important thing is that the full name of the talented little beauty is McKenna Danvers.
And she looks exactly like her aunt Carol Danvers when she was a child...
If it hadn't died prematurely, this would have been another protagonist who could be hidden in the Marvel world in the future.
……
"How heavy is this door?" The beautiful girl patted the steel door that had rusted into a reddish-brown color, but she didn't hear even a single echo.
"Well, according to the land parcel's description," Anna flipped through the information in her hand and replied to the beautiful girl, "This gate should weigh 14 tons..."
"Can you open it, then?"
"If it's this, then of course there's no problem. But I'm not sure about the manhole cover above the launch port. That one weighs a full 750 tons... Uh, take this for now."
After Anna handed the information in her hand to the beautiful girl, she took out a tractor-like handle from the back seat of her bicycle.
This crank-like handle has some metal gear-like things and irregularly shaped serrations on the front. This thing is the "gate key" that came with the launch silo when Anna bought it.
After Anna lifted a piece of iron sheet, inserted the key into a hole, and shook it hard clockwise, making a creaking sound.
After a series of teeth-grinding metallic friction sounds, the door opened in front of them little by little, like a snail, driven by the gears.
Hmm! ~
Because the kid was too short, Anna temporarily moved a big rock over, then stood on the rock and cranked the key like starting a hand-crank tractor.
Snap! ~
With the sound of the last retaining spring, the 14-ton launch silo door was finally fully opened.
"Oh my god! The door is opening too slowly..." After opening the door for two minutes, Anna twisted her arms which were almost sore, and expressed her admiration for the arm strength of the American missile launchers decades ago.
"I'm going to have to get an electric one sometime."
"The kind with remote control!"
After the nuclear explosion-proof door was opened, a pitch-black tunnel was revealed behind the door.
What a clean cement floor.
Clean walls.
Spotless passage.
There are also steel frames painted with anti-rust paint and pipes and so on...
That is not the case at all.
Before them was only a semicircular passage with rust everywhere and mottled walls.
Moreover, due to years of disrepair, there was no water or electricity.
Not to mention that this passage now looks like a horror movie set, the entire underground space is dark and dirty, and there are even dried rat corpses and various debris in it.
……
"Are you sure you still want to go in? Anna..." After scanning the passage a few times with the flashlight she brought, Miss McKenna next to Anna jumped back two steps.
"I feel like I've been scammed..."
After seeing the situation in the passage, Anna silently used the key to close the heavy door. If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have given up on the $40...
She wouldn't even pay $4.
Now she finally understood why the place she bought, the American Doomsday Foundation, had never been sold.
Because, apart from the lack of water, it has all the garbage you can imagine. And it's all antique garbage that has been aged in the silo for decades...
By Anna's own estimation.
If I want to clean out this silo, spray it with disinfectant, and add all the other miscellaneous garbage disposal costs...
She couldn't find anyone to help her clean up without $10.
And this is just the cost of a thorough cleaning. Even if everything is cleaned up, it will still be uninhabitable.
If she didn't spend ten times the purchase price, she wouldn't be able to transform this place into the data security center she had imagined, with water, electricity, and a supercomputer cooling system.
And if she wanted to build an underground base, she would need to spend even more money.
But the problem is that she is very poor now, and she doesn't have a penny before the profits from the movie come in...
Chapter 080 Now only the rabbits are left
"Anna, do you still want to go see the house on the farm?"
Miss McKenna asked Anna after she locked the silo's 14-ton entrance door.
Anna now climbed to the top of the launch port and pushed the 750-ton sliding manhole cover desperately. After confirming that she could not open it without damage, she could only jump down dejectedly.
"Let's go...it's better to go and take a look now." Anna, who had no results at the abandoned launch silo, could only walk outside with McKenna.
Although she was not interested in the empty houses on the newly purchased farm, since she had come out to play with the beautiful girl today, she couldn't just open the door of a silo and go back.
……
Ten minutes later, when the two girls had ridden their bicycles for more than a thousand meters on the road, they arrived in front of the house on the new farm...
Anna and McKenna both looked listless again.
Because the farm house in front of him and the barn next to it were too ordinary and too common in the countryside of Kansas.
This was a big blow to the little girl's curiosity.
The previous owner of this house was a resident of an agricultural company.
The previous owner, an elderly couple in their sixties and their family, left many traces of their lives here.
Although a special housekeeping company cleaned all the houses before the transaction, and even the furniture was removed and cleaned.
However, with Anna's super senses, this empty house is also full of memories of birth, aging, sickness, death and daily life left behind by ordinary people.
Like the scratches carved on the door frame, the bread crumbs left under the cracks in the floor, the oil smoke behind the ceiling, the scratches left by repeated plugging and unplugging of the socket, and the shoe prints outside the window sill where teenagers sneaked out.
The refrigerator's cooling vents left marks on the wall over the years...
Although this house is now just an empty house in the eyes of ordinary people, the atmosphere of life and the traces left by the previous owners...
But it is not something that any housekeeping company can clean.
Although the beautiful McKenna did not have Anna's abnormal vision and senses, she was also not interested in this building whose appearance and layout were almost exactly the same as her home.
I just walked around inside and walked out bored.
Not to mention that after opening the door, there wasn't even a chair inside. It was completely empty...
For this beautiful girl who has been riding her bicycle for a long time and is in urgent need of a break to catch her breath and replenish her energy...it's hard to describe how depressing this situation is.
"How about we leave the bikes here and I carry you on a picnic?"
Seeing that the little beauty was a little tired, Anna gave Mai Mai some advice. It happened that she was a little hungry now. While she was preparing the picnic, Mai Mai could rest next to her.
"Is it that kind of picnic?" Mai Mai asked Anna, because usually when Anna mentioned a picnic... it must be a very wild picnic.
It's definitely not the kind of picnic American housewives would put on a tablecloth in the park and then take out a few sandwiches and orange juice. But the little beauty still remembers the last time someone took out that burnt bear paw...
"Uh!~ It's not that wild..."
Anna said to the little beauty, "We won't eat bear today. It's hard to chew..."
"Hmm~ What do you think about us having roasted rabbit today?"
Anyway, no matter what, she would never admit in front of the beautiful girl that she didn't know how to cook bear meat.
