Wasteland Survival Code
Chapter 545 The Fatal Truth
Chapter 545 The Fatal Truth
"why?"
"because……"
Before Lei Mufeng finished speaking, there was a sudden violent explosion sound from the other end of the phone, followed by a series of "beep beep" busy tones.
At the same time, there was a deafening bang in the distance, and the entire office building shook slightly.
"Hey Hey hey!"
Qi Lin was stunned, and then, he jumped over the huge desk, kicked open the door of the office while Hei Kui and the others were surprised, and rushed to the balcony outside.
The residence of Lei's family is in the center of Herrons Town. Qi Lin tried his best to look in that direction, and saw the huge remains of the parasitic dragon lizard lying on this place, burning with raging flames all over his body.
"What happened! What happened just now!" Qi Lin pulled a guard standing guard on the balcony and asked loudly.
The guard was obviously stunned, and he said inarticulately: "Just, just now... the parasitic dragon lizard suddenly fell from the air, hit the ground with its head, and then exploded—"
"Parasitic dragon lizard? Explosion?"
If it weren't for the real explosion, Qi Lin couldn't believe what he heard at all.
That parasitic dragon lizard... Could it be an oversized "living bomb"? ?
The skeleton of the parasitic dragon lizard was lying in the sea of flames. Except for the intact skull, the parts below the neck were all fragmented. Qi Lin couldn't imagine that there was any weapon in the Herrons defense line that could have such power.
The fat man's nuclear bomb may kill a dragon lizard, but it is absolutely impossible to turn it into this appearance. Moreover, if the alliance uses the fat man's nuclear bomb, I am afraid that half of Herrons will be destroyed by now.
Could it be that he blew himself up? ?
Qi Lin looked up into the sky, and saw that the Satanic parasites had already begun to retreat to the north, and the battle between the two sides seemed to have ended the moment the parasitic dragon lizard fell.
What about Lei Mufeng?That guy... is it dead?
If Qi Lin remembers correctly, he should only have one chance to be resurrected, right?
This also means that Lei Mufeng is really dead—no matter how high-end the game cabin is, and how many times it has been improved, it still cannot guarantee the absolute safety of the players, because the method used by the mastermind to kill players does not rely on hardware , but relying on the powerful data flow to directly swallow the player's consciousness.
Players who have just died generally still maintain normal body functions, but their brains are completely dead.
Brain-dead people are very similar to vegetative people, but there is a huge difference between the two. The brainstem of a vegetative person is alive. It is a special physiological state similar to hibernation. It has instinctive reflex behaviors, can breathe on its own, and can swallow. Food, for pain and stimulation, will also have a corresponding response - and there is a possibility of waking up in a vegetative state.
But a brain-dead person is different. His entire brain has completely stopped functioning, and only nutrient solution and a ventilator can keep his body alive. Of course, this is meaningless, because a brain-dead person will never wake up again. .
Qi Lin stood blankly on the edge of the balcony until a figure wrapped in a long beige trench coat came over.
That was Cheng Yanqiu who just went online. He glanced at the dragon lizard skeleton in the distance, patted Qi Lin on the shoulder, and said, "Go offline, I'll take you to a place."
……
……
The real world, Vault 1627.
This is a small refuge under the control of Cheng's consortium. This refuge had not yet appeared when the nuclear winter began. It was not until a year and two months after humans entered the underground refuge that Cheng's consortium hollowed out the place. The mine in the village was transformed into a new shelter to accommodate some poor people at the bottom of society.
The area of Vault No. 1627 is very small, about the size of four or five blocks in the City of Steel, but in such a small space, there are about 1 people living there.
The infrastructure here is very rudimentary. The wires and optical cables are pulled from the nearby shelters. There are only two air purifiers, and one of them has broken down. Even if the residents here are in their own residences, one-third of One of the times must also be spent wearing a breathing mask.
Cheng Yanqiu led Qi Lin through a narrow alleyway, both sides of the alleyway were piled up with all kinds of rags and garbage, from time to time a skinny mouse crossed the alleyway and got into a dark corner to go.
Shelter No. 1627 is an entire mine that has been hollowed out, so there is no tunnel structure that is common in slums, but a complete space. A large number of shacks are squeezed between the gaps in the building, filling the entire shelter to the brim. .
"It's here."
Cheng Yanqiu stopped in front of a hut with a signboard saying "Family planning supplies are available for use". Judging from the dusty windowsill, no one should have stayed here for a long time.
Cheng Yanqiu removed the two broken wooden boards pressing the door, took out a card from his pocket, and inserted it into an inconspicuous card slot at the crack of the door.
Only then did Qi Lin notice that what Cheng Yanqiu used to open the door turned out to be a gray card.
The wooden door of the hut was opened, and Qi Lin tapped the door panel lightly with his fingers. As expected, under the wooden plank, there was a thick layer of metal inside, and judging by this thickness, even a directional door-breaking bullet might not necessarily able to blow it apart.
The two walked into the room, there was a rustling sound, and some small bugs shrank into the deeper darkness quickly under the light of the flashlight.
Cheng Yanqiu turned around and closed the door, then walked around behind the empty glass counter full of dust and stains, opened a secret door on the ground, took a look at Qi Lin, and bent down to go down first.
……
Below is a spacious basement. The surrounding walls, ceiling and floor are all inlaid with metal plates. Several desks and filing cabinets are placed against the wall. On the desks, there are stacks of paper documents, and There is a mechanical typewriter full of retro atmosphere, but there is no advanced electronic equipment in sight, not even a thin and light laptop computer or PDA.
The metal plate that wraps the basement alone may cost hundreds of thousands of resource points. Even if electronic equipment is a rare thing in the underground world, one hundred thousand resource points is enough to buy hundreds of computers.
Besides, Cheng's consortium doesn't lack that little money, and they are willing to use such a large amount of money to renovate this basement, but are they reluctant to even have a computer?
At this moment, Cheng Yanqiu dragged a large heavy box out from under the table, and Qi Lin said: "If you have any precision instruments or electronic products on your body that you don't want to be destroyed, you'd better put them on it now." .”
"No." Qi Lin shook his head. The Cheng's consortium provided him with a complete set of personal smart devices, including smartphones, PDA terminals, smart bracelets, etc., but usually Qi Lin didn't bother to wear those gadgets and threw them all away. In a drawer in the office.
"What is this?" Qi Lin pointed to the stupid instrument that Cheng Yanqiu brought out from the box.
"This is an antique, mechanical interference generator, also known as the 'Black Umbrella' shielding system, which is a product of the last century. It can generate an electromagnetic interference field that covers the entire room. It can interfere with the range All the electromagnetic signals in it, and all the electronic equipment in work will be destroyed." Cheng Yanqiu said to Qi Lin while debugging the instrument.
