Wasteland Survival Code

Chapter 281 Ivan
At this moment, the voice of a male mutant outside the house rang out. He spoke English, but unlike the Russian-speaking male voice before, this mutant's voice was very thick and deep, but there was still a tinge at the end. With a sharp and hoarse tone, this is a common feature of mutant vocal chords damaged by radiation.

"Stop attacking!" the man shouted in Russian first, and then shouted at Qi Lin in English.

"I'm Ivan, former captain of the 2020st Infantry Division of the Far East Fourth Army of the Eastern Military District of the Russian Federation Army. I will retire in [-]. I am now the leader of this group of mutants. I think we can talk."

Qi Lin was stunned. He thought that the guy who persuaded him to surrender at the beginning was Ivan, the leader of the mutants. He didn't expect that Ivan was someone else, and he was also a retired Russian military officer.

According to the regulations of the Russian army, the retirement age for officers at the captain level is basically around 40 to 45 years old. In other words, this Ivan is estimated to be in his 60s now.

"What's your problem?" Qi Lin asked Ivan on the opposite side to "talk about it", but he still didn't put down the weapon in his hand. Mutant movements.

"Are you from Huaxia, Dongying or Korea?" Ivan asked.

"Huaxia people." Qi Lin thought for a while, and then told the other party the truth. To be honest, now in the wasteland, due to the gradual disappearance of the country in the old era, nationality is not so important now, and Qi Lin does not know the other party. Why ask this.

"I see that your marksmanship and tactical movements don't look like a civilian, so you should be a soldier or a mercenary, right?"

"It used to be." Since the other party reported his family name from the very beginning, there is no need for Qi Lin to hide these unimportant information, not to mention, even if he didn't say it, Ivan would have already seen it.

"Then are you working for the consortium or for the money? I think it should be the latter. Those big consortiums will not send a single person into Nerozsk to die - it has passed since you entered here It's been several hours, and we haven't seen any supporters appearing for you. So, you must have entered here by accident, right?"

There seems to be little difference between working for the consortium and working for money, but they are completely different in nature. The former is a private army affiliated to the consortium. The consortium is fully responsible for recruiting, training, and equipment, and the military pay is paid on time—of course , within the consortium, it is called "employee salary". Whenever the consortium has a task issued, no matter how difficult the task is, the private army soldiers must carry it out.

The latter are mercenaries or mercenary regiments. Although most of the mercenaries serve those big consortiums, the relationship between the two parties is just a transaction.

"Neither, I worked my life for myself." Qi Lin replied.

"Working for yourself? It's very interesting, but having said that, I think it's all a misunderstanding. We don't need to fight at all. I even want to hire you if I can," Ivan continued.

"First of all, I don't accept anyone's employment, and second, I don't think mutants will coexist peacefully with a human, especially after I killed so many of you."

"Huh? What we hate are only those who make wars. As for those who are killed by you, they will come back soon. The pain of death is really insignificant compared to the torture we have to endure every day. .”

After Iwan's explanation, Qi Lin knew that the mastermind did not have a limit of three resurrections for each mutant player, and, because Ivan and the others were in the Far East E04 shelter, except for their group of mutants, everyone else died. The light is gone, so there is no need to worry about food and drinking water at all.

No matter how bad it is, they can also open the shelter by themselves and go to the real wasteland to find supplies.

Compared with players like Qi Lin and the others, this group of mutants are really "playing games".

It’s no wonder that several forces in the Far East have no idea about Nerozsk. First, this radiation-filled area itself is of little value. Second, if this group of "unkillable" mutants are completely destroyed If you mess with it, it is estimated that there will never be peace.

"I've told you so many things, and I've shown my sincerity. So, what about your sincerity?" Ivan said loudly.

"I don't think this is an expression of sincerity. Besides, I am very puzzled. Why do you choose to reconcile with me when you clearly have the upper hand?"

"I guess, you should have the ability of [radiation immunity]?"

Qi Lin didn't answer, it was a tacit consent.

"Underground in Nerozsk, there is a warehouse left by the former Soviet Union, but we don't know what's in it. The radiation concentration near the warehouse is extremely high. If you can help us open it, I can let you leave Nero safely. Zisk, you can also take the three things inside." Ivan said.

"Are you mutants still afraid of radiation?" Qi Lin asked a little strangely.

"Of course... we are also human beings, but the radiation has changed... some things in our bodies. The environment is fine now, but if we are close to the warehouse, the changes in our bodies will be accelerated by a thousand times. We have tried a lot times, but every time we haven’t reached the gate of the warehouse, our people will die suddenly on the way.”

"How high is the radiation concentration near the warehouse?"

"About 900, this is halfway data. According to my estimation, there should be more than 1200 at the gate—by the way, can I come in?"

Qi Lin hesitated for a moment before saying, "Okay, come in, don't bring weapons or people."

A few seconds later, a burly mutant with a height of nearly 1.9 meters, but with bandages all over his body, walked in from the door, and Qi Lin aimed his gun at him immediately.

Facing the black muzzle of the gun, Ivan's face under the bandage didn't change at all. He just pulled a chair with the back of which was knocked off by the bullet from the side, and sat down five meters away from Qi Lin.

"Introduce myself again, Ivan, Ivan Koczvich."

"You can call me 9527." Qi Lin nodded, and then asked: "The thing I'm most curious about is why you are obsessed with a warehouse from the former Soviet Union. The weapons and equipment sealed in that era are old and broken. It has not been maintained for so many years, and it is probably scrapped. Besides, your people are not short of guns, food, and things in the game world can’t be brought to reality, so why do you want to find a way to open that warehouse?”

"Confirmation, we just want to confirm what's in the warehouse."

"There is one thing I must tell you, the E04 shelter in the Far East where we are actually located is [-] kilometers north of Nerozsk underground, and in the war three years ago, the entire Nerozsk was not attacked The nuclear attack and the radiation here all come from that warehouse, and it is also because of that warehouse that we have become like this."

"You mean, what's sealed in the warehouse are the nuclear weapons left over from the former Soviet Union?"
