Wasteland Survival Code

Chapter 636 The Sunken Underwater City

Could it be that it is because the other party does not have this "activation core" in their hands, so they must use this method of cracking if they want to activate or open something buried under the water?
Qi Lin suddenly felt that this possibility was unusual.

According to Cooper's earlier analysis results, the boot core can be called a "core", but it can also be regarded as a key. Inside the boot core, there are a lot of encrypted content. This thing, even 404 The technical level of the base cannot be cracked, and its encryption technology was absolutely world-class before the war.

In other words, apart from the mastermind, those who can achieve this level... or the team, I'm afraid they can be counted on one hand.

These people in front of them are also very likely to be one of the teams with this ability.

They made a box with a lock so ingenious that even the best locksmith could not open it without a key, but then they accidentally lost the key to the lock...

But now, the key is in Qi Lin's hands, and those who are trying to open the box are trying their best to pry the lock open without using the key.

But Qi Lin is not in a hurry - the activation core is a key, but this sentence can also be said in reverse, the key is the activation core.

Without the activation core, even if they can open the box, without the activation core, the contents of the box are meaningless.

In other words, the key was originally a precious treasure in the box, and only when the key was put together with the items in the box could those items have value.

If the "box" is a computer, then the starting core is a matching CPU; if the "box" is a set of power armor, then the starting core is the most critical power furnace in the armor; if " If there is a city in the box, then the activation core is the heart of the city.

But the problem is... These people haven't been able to find the activation core yet, why are they so persistent in opening this box?
Qi Lin continued to observe the actions of these people. After about half an hour, the people who dived came back, but only three came back.

Judging from the many scars on their armor and the harpoon guns that had been fired, the fourth person should not be able to return.

As soon as the three players climbed ashore, people who had already been waiting surrounded them and began to help them dismantle their armor and treat their wounds.

One of the three walked up to the leader, the two exchanged a few words, and then the leader shook his head helplessly.

"It seems that the cracking failed? The box couldn't be opened, but one person was lost..."

Qi Lin guessed that it was a pity that these players wore masks on their faces, not only could they not see their looks and expressions, but it was even difficult to guess the content of the conversation through mouth movements.

Qi Lin turned his gaze back to the screen again. It was still a series of repeated test codes, but there was only one calculation result: fail.

The three players quickly put on a new set of diving armor, and after replenishing their weapons and oxygen, they jumped into the sea again.

Those sitting in front of the screen continued to get busy.

"Wait like this...it doesn't seem to be an option..."

Qi Lin noticed that the players in the two teams responsible for vigilance were all facing the direction of the land, while the other two teams, except the three who entered the water, were either packing up the equipment they had replaced, or frantically knocking on the electronic equipment. While typing on the keyboard, only the leader was pacing back and forth, looking at the water.

"Perhaps... I can go into the water from another place... and swim all the way through?"

With Qi Lin's current ability, it is completely possible to hold his breath in the water for 10 minutes, and the seawater heavily polluted by radiation will not have any negative effects on him, but can also be converted into the purest energy by the energy-gathering vortex , he doesn't even need scuba and protective clothing.

As for the mutated creatures in the water, this is a coastal area, and there are very few powerful existences in the deep sea. Even without underwater rifles and catapult harpoons, with the power of a fifth-level evolutionary, tearing up those strange fish and shrimps is still possible. Not at all.

Stuffing all the things on his body into the backpack, and then zipping up the waterproof zipper, Qi Lin moved the backpack to the front of his body and tied it with a strap. In this way, even under the complicated underwater environment, he can take out what he wants at any time. something you want.

Taking advantage of a normal-level deathclaw wandering over to attack those players, Qi Lin secretly left the small mound where he was hiding, made a big circle, and came to the edge of the landmass.

It is exactly the same as what he saw on the mountain. The edge of the land block break is very neat and smooth, as if it was cut out with a cake knife. The sea surface is about five or six meters below the land, and there are no wind and waves nearby. Signs of mutated biological activity.

"At least one thing can be confirmed now...the Kowloon Peninsula was definitely not sunk by a nuclear bomb..."

Qi Lin pulled out two ice pick-shaped bone blades, nailed them alternately into the rock formation, and descended step by step to a position close to the sea surface.

Holding the bone pick in one hand, Qi Lin scooped up a handful of seawater with the other hand—as he expected, the radiation pollution in the seawater was very high, but apart from the radiation, it was just ordinary seawater.

After confirming that there was no problem, he took a deep breath, and then plunged into the sea water.

The visibility in the water was lower than in the fog, and it was dark when looking down. Qi Lin didn't rush to swim to the place where the players were, but continued to dive.

He wanted to see what the sunken Kowloon Peninsula looked like underwater.

……

Victoria Bay is only tens of meters deep, and counting the collapsed continental shelf, it is no more than [-] meters. Qi Lin soon saw the kind of city buried in the sea.

Row upon row of high-rise buildings seem to have been frozen by time. A large number of algae organisms are entwined on the jagged steel bars. The colorful giant billboards have become pale after long-term soaking, and the writing and patterns on them have long been blurred. .

In many doomsday works of art and film and television works, cities that have sunk into the sea have appeared, but only when you see them with your own eyes, can you feel this kind of personal shock.

When the prosperous civilization is submerged by the sea, everything is dead, only the skeleton-like incomplete buildings are left, which seems to be telling the glory of the past.

It's just... Although these buildings are dilapidated, the general structure is still intact. Compared with the razed New Territories, at least here, there is still a city.

In other words... Kowloon has never been bombarded by nuclear bombs.
