Wasteland Survival Code

Chapter 560 Mysterious stronghold
"In order to prevent such things from happening...you mean, all of this is done by the main brain?" Qi Lin quickly reacted.

"Didn't you say that the master brain still obeys the 'first law' set by humans? Then if all this is done by the master brain, how can it be explained? Could it be that the master brain has been exposed to that layer of human traps without telling you? The shackles on its head?" Qi Lin kept asking.

But in the face of his questioning, Cheng Yanqiu remained dull, until Qi Lin finished asking, he said unhurriedly: "Sorry, I really can't tell you the truth now... When the time comes, you will naturally Got it, I'm protecting you..."

"Protection? How many times have we almost died and you won't even give me such a little information now? Besides, since you said you didn't let me know to protect me, you mean you are in danger Is it in the middle? But why didn’t I see—”

Halfway through Qi Lin's speech, Cheng Yanqiu finally interrupted him: "Do you think my situation is not dangerous at all? Then do you remember Lei Mufeng? He died while talking with him, and his ending , may fall on my head at any time, if I tell you all this, you may be wiped out by the mastermind at any time!"

Cheng Yanqiu raised his voice, which made Qi Lin startled.

"Then if this is the case... why do you still take the risk...of being obliterated...to continue entering the virtual world? If you don't enter the virtual world, you shouldn't have this risk, right? Even if you are removed from the mastermind, Cheng's The consortium's supplies are definitely enough to support you until the day the shelter door opens..."

Cheng Yanqiu just shook his head, and said after a long time: "The kind of people you mentioned do exist, and the real high-level of the 'organization' is indeed a group of 'ghosts' who have all been included in the list of 'eliminated persons' by the mastermind. You can't find their information in any system, they hide in the dark, but control the overall situation... But we are different, whether it is me, Lei Mufeng, or Lei Ting, in the open In reality, we are all high-ranking roles, but in the organization, we are just pawns."

"The coach is afraid of death, because once the coach dies, the whole game will be lost, but as a pawn, if we are still afraid of death, we don't need to play this game at all, we can surrender."

"……does it worth?"

"This question... don't ask me... because I don't know, and I often ask myself this way on many nights, but I never get an answer, because this is a one-way street. When I step out At the first step, the ground behind me began to collapse continuously. I couldn't turn back, I couldn't even stop, I could only run, and only by running faster than the speed of the collapse would I not be swallowed by the abyss. I The reason why I don't want to tell you all this is because I don't know if you have made that decision... We never have a chance to regret it, never."

"Is it true that you can't reveal anything? What if one day I was targeted by the mastermind as an enemy, and then killed for no apparent reason? At least let me be a ghost."

"If that day really comes, you must have understood everything. The mastermind will not attack ordinary people easily. As long as you are still outside the situation, it will deliberately break the rules to obliterate you."

"On the outside? Am I still on the outside?"

"Forget it, you just stepped in with half of your foot now, remember to retract it."

"You speak like this, as if there is an endless abyss in front of you... I know why Lei Ting was paid so much when he recruited me. Feelings are a job that will lose your head at any time."

"Uncle Lei...why not? In his capacity, he could exist as a behind-the-scenes person, but he still stood up and stood with us. To be honest, I have always admired him. "

"Okay, you won." Qi Lin exhaled a long breath, then pointed at the sarcoma in front of him with the steel pipe in his hand, "So, how to deal with this thing?"

"I will notify the people in the 'organization' to come and deal with the aftermath. People in the technical department should be very interested in this."

Worried that this "experimental body" would be destroyed by mutated creatures wandering underground, Qi Lin and Cheng Yanqiu worked together to move a huge freezer and locked the body into the freezer.

When the two finished all this, the meat membrane that originally covered the entire second basement floor of the shopping mall was gradually withering, yes, it was withering—the originally tough protein turned dark brown like a dry leaf , Dry and brittle, stepping on it makes a continuous "click, click" sound.

As for the sarcoma, the outer muscle arm and pipes also showed serious shrinkage, but the internal precision facilities seemed to be locked automatically, and were not damaged.

"You said, is this thing really arranged by the mastermind? If so, why is it arranged here? Does this mean that it has discovered your stronghold?" Qi Lin asked while carrying the corpse.

"I don't know either." Cheng Yanqiu shook his head, "When the people in the technical department come to a conclusion, I will try my best to tell you the parts that are not confidential."

"The part that doesn't involve confidentiality... Then I might as well not listen, curiosity can kill people." Qi Lin complained.

After dealing with these matters, the two left the Century Commercial Building—they drilled out along a large hole on the north wall of the basement floor, and stepped into another dark mine tunnel.

There seems to be an underground river directly above this mine, and the groundwater with slight radiation is constantly dripping down from the cracks at the top of the mine, and the humidity in the entire mine is quite high.

"To be honest, I really hate this wet and sticky feeling... When I was a mercenary, I didn't like to take on the missions that had to enter the tropical rainforest. It was the deserts in the Middle East and North Africa that made me feel More comfortable.".Qi Lin said as he walked forward.

"I don't like it either, but I'm afraid you won't be able to accept the mission in the tropical rainforest in the future." Cheng Yanqiu said.

Indeed, there is no tropical rain forest on the ground now. Green is definitely one of the rarest colors on the wasteland. Even if it is the only remaining forest, a considerable part has become cannibalistic due to the alienation of radiation. Black forest that spits out bones.

"Wait, there seems to be a trap ahead, did you see the trip wire hidden in the stagnant water?" Qi Lin stopped suddenly and said to Cheng Yanqiu.

"Don't worry, it's not a landmine, it's just an alarm bell, we're here."
