Wasteland Survival Code

Chapter 572 The Real World

"Is it hard to choose?"

"..." This time, Qi Lin did not refute, but nodded slowly.

"Although time is tight, I still hope that you will think carefully before choosing. After all, once you choose, you will have no chance to regret it."

"How much time do I have to think?"

"The remaining time is not much. According to our calculations, it will take about half a year for the Mastermind to perfect the program of the virtual world. Of course, this time may be shortened at any time. After all, the Mastermind has the possibility of self-evolution."

"Then next...?"

"We'll send you back to Vault 188."

"What about Cheng Yanqiu?"

"He will be cancelled."

"How to deal with sales numbers?"

"He has been exposed, so he can only fake an accident, make the mastermind mistakenly think that he is dead, and cancel his identity from the mastermind."

"He's exposed, what about me?"

"As long as you forget the content of our conversation today, you are still safe. The target of those cyborgs is Cheng Yanqiu, not you."

"However, if Cheng Yanqiu's identity is revoked, then the Cheng's consortium..."

"The Cheng's consortium will be disbanded, and its assets will be divided and annexed by several other consortiums controlled by the organization, and will eventually be included in the power of the organization."

"... Then if, I mean if, after humans return to the ground, will war still break out?"

"I don't know. Maybe we won't be able to get back to the ground at all...Well, our conversation should be over..."

"Wait!" Qi Lin suddenly shouted when the surrounding light gradually dimmed.

"What? Is there anything else you want to know?"

"I always feel... you are using me... right? Otherwise, you don't have to tell me this."

"Yes, the organization will use all the people, things, and things that can be used. The reason why you can know this is because you have value worth using." The other party admitted this without concealment, "But you don't have to worry about it." , we will not frame you, nor ask you to do anything, you just need to continue with your original life trajectory..."

The sound stopped abruptly, and the surrounding lights were instantly extinguished. When Qi Lin could see something again, he found that the hatch of the game cabin was in front of him. To "kick" out.

Lifting the lid of the game cabin, he found that two people wearing hoods and cloaks had already been waiting aside, and one of them was the woman from before.

Holding the opaque black hood in her hand, Qi Lin knew that it was almost time for him to leave.

……

Three days later, Vault 188.

Qi Lin returned to his humble residence, while Song Xiaodie was sent back just after arriving at the headquarters of the Cheng Consortium.

However, apart from the two of them, there was a new tenant in this room——Ayana Aoi.

Song Xiaodie still lived in the original room, while Qi Lin's bedroom was given over to the little girl with a split personality. He created another small room with planks in the small living room on the first floor. I got on an old wire bed I found on the black market.

Regarding the mastermind and the organization, Qi Lin did not tell the two of them—the plot announced to the public was that Cheng Yanqiu was attacked by mobs when he was out on errands, and was unfortunately shot to death. The Cheng consortium lost its young new owner. Time is caught in a storm.

For safety reasons, Qi Lin brought Song Xiaodie and Lingkui out. Although the conditions in Vault 188 were not as good as those of Cheng's Consortium, at least they could live a stable and stable life.

Song Xiaodie was convinced of this, but Ling Kui, a guy who could manipulate mental power, noticed something. On the night they returned to No. 188 shelter, little Lori walked up the stairs from the second floor barefoot. When he got down, Qi Lin was sitting cross-legged on a newly bought wire bed and cleaning the barrel of an assault rifle.

"Cheng Yanqiu is not dead, right?" Lingkui asked.

Qi Lin froze for a moment, glanced at her, neither admitted nor denied.

"You have a reason why you can't tell us, right?" Aoi continued to ask.

Qi Lin remained silent.

"Okay, I got it." After Lingkui finished speaking, she walked up again, her thin and thin body was covered with Song Xiaodie's pajamas, which looked particularly unfit.

Lingkui can't directly read Qi Lin's memory, but she can feel the solemn emotion from Qi Lin's thought fluctuations.

Although Xiao Luoli's temper is not good, she is not the kind of unreasonable person, especially when facing Qi Lin.

……

The "game time" Qi Lin "stored" last week has been exhausted. If he doesn't enter the game world today, he will be "delisted" by the mastermind.

Although the people in the organization repeatedly emphasized to him that the game cabin does not have the function of reading human memory, and the exposure of Cheng Yanqiu and Lei Mufeng had other reasons, but after knowing the truth, Qi Lin felt a little uneasy.

"This broken game cabin... really... looks more and more like a coffin..."

The power connection is normal, the network connection is normal, and the game cabin is operating normally. After the indicator lights light up one by one, Qi Lin, who is lying in the game cabin, slowly closes his eyes.

"Welcome to the world of "Wasteland Survival Rules", I wish you a happy game."

……

……

The "save point" where Qi Lin quit the game last time was still at the Herrons defense line, but at this time, the troops of the Cheng Consortium had already withdrawn, and the original Cheng Consortium's resident was also occupied by the new forces.

Standing in front of the command department that originally belonged to Qi Lin, looking at the unfamiliar guards and emblems, Qi Lin twitched the corners of his mouth and walked towards Herons Town.

It's time to leave this place—several large domestic consortiums have moved almost half of their families here. If this can't stop the black tide, then even if Qi Lin stays here, it won't help.

The ER004 prototype was stored in a public warehouse. After Qi Lin verified his identity, he took out the power armor and put it on.

He was very irritable and his thoughts were a little confused. Looking at the scene in front of him, he knew that these were all virtual, but in Qi Lin's eyes, these virtual scenes were no different from the real world.

As Cypher puts it - "It's all real, more real than the real world."

It doesn't seem bad to spend the rest of your life in this world?What's more, after the main brain completes the program, the virtual world will definitely return to its pre-war appearance, and everyone's memory of the real world will be completely erased by the main brain.

At that time, they will believe that this world is the real world.
