Wasteland Survival Code

Chapter 861 Taking Hostages
On the surface, somewhere wasteland.

With the fall of night, the temperature dropped suddenly, and the moss in the shade of several large rocks was covered with a layer of hoarfrost not long ago. It is just winter now, and the night temperature in the wasteland can drop to minus [-] degrees or more ——Even if this place is on the edge of the earth's subtropics.

Dozens of armored vehicles lined up in a row in the open space, with large-caliber heavy machine guns mounted on the roof. The muzzles of these machine guns were all pointing in one direction, and behind the armored vehicles were hundreds of heavily armed soldiers, They wore cold-proof combat uniforms and protective vests, and they held all large-caliber assault rifles in their hands. On the temporary bunker built with mobile shields and armor plates, there were also several distinctive Gauss sniper rifles.

The armored units are located on both sides of the position. Apart from the high-mobility power armor like the bird-eating spider, there are also many heavy-duty power armors. They are covered with thick armor and covered with powerful heavy weapons. The ammunition chain of the machine gun pulled out of the chain box behind him was dragged to the ground.

On the further hill, the sniper positions and the artillery positions are also ready. Numerous high-power scopes with infrared heat sensing functions are aimed at a coordinate at the same time. The shells have been loaded, and the fingers of the snipers are already tight Tightly attached to the trigger guard.

With the firepower of this army, it was enough to conquer the capitals of some small countries in war-torn areas in the old days, but their target this time is only one person.

Directly below this wasteland is Qin's Sixth District.

Just as Qin expected, the other eight organization founders did not break their original oath and sent one soldier to the sixth district. However, it was precisely because of this oath that Qin could not let Qi Lin stay in the sixth district for a long time Within—he had to leave before twelve o'clock tonight.

There is only one passage leading to the ground in the sixth district, and at the entrance of this passage, the organization has already set up an ambush on all sides, and even the new weapon "Annihilation Cannon" that has just been successfully tested has been moved here.

This is an energy weapon. Although it has a very sci-fi name, in actual combat, the annihilation cannon's lethality is not only inferior to laser weapons and Gauss weapons, but even some powerful conventional live ammunition weapons can overwhelm it. ...However, this so-called annihilation cannon was not developed with power as the primary goal from the very beginning.

Just like the old saying, "There is a specialization in art", the annihilation cannon is a weapon specially used to deal with energy shields. The high-energy particle stream it emits can neutralize and ablate most types of energy shields. Among them, the energy shield of Thor's Hammer is naturally included.

The organization already knows that Qi Lin's energy-gathering vortex can give Thor's Hammer a nearly unlimited endurance, and this annihilation cannon is specially used to target Thor's Hammer's energy shield.

Although with the energy reserves in the energy-gathering vortex, even if the annihilation cannon can't consume one-tenth of it even if it bombards continuously for 10 minutes, the shield generator equipped with Thor's Hammer has an upper limit, and the energy conversion rate is It must not keep up with the consumption rate of the shield. As long as the energy shield can be destroyed, Qi Lin's combat ability will be reduced by at least half.

The four annihilation cannons are hidden on the four armored vehicles behind the position. These armored bodies are covered with thicker armor than the main battle tanks, and only a rectangular muzzle is exposed on the front.

For this battle, the organization is bound to win... Just to send this troop to this position, the organization has already paid a huge price, and even made a lot of concessions on the frontal battlefield of the underground world in order to withdraw Send out enough troops to invest in this operation.

Fortunately, the location of the sixth district is deep in the territory of the organization, and the Revolutionary Union cannot send troops over in time. Otherwise, it is estimated that the organization and the Revolutionary Union will fight before Qi Lin comes out.

"There are still 15 minutes, the deadline is..." An officer on the front line glanced at his tactical watch, exhaled a big breath, took out two small blue and white pills from his pocket, and tore them open. The outer protective film was thrown into the mouth.

This is an oral stimulant. If you put it in your mouth and melt it with saliva, it will only refresh your mind. If you chew it directly with your teeth, the content in it will The medicine will be released instantly, and directly seep into the blood of the human body from the capillaries in the esophagus and stomach.

The officer pushed the tablet between the upper and lower molars with his tongue, and he would crush the two tablets as soon as the target appeared.

The tense atmosphere on the battlefield is gradually escalating. Every soldier involved in this operation knows that the target will definitely appear before twelve o'clock, and now the final time limit is getting closer...

"crunch-"

There was an ear-piercing sound of mechanical friction, and everyone shuddered, held their breath, and grasped the weapons in their hands.

"finally come……"

On this small piece of open space that was heavily surrounded, a four-meter-square opening suddenly opened. With the sound of hinges and gears turning, something seemed to be rising rapidly...

"Target Appears! Prepare... Don't fire! All units! Don't fire!"

Qi Lin did appear, wearing that set of Thor's Hammer power armor, but he didn't turn on the energy shield, nor launched an attack on these blockers. He just stood quietly on a square metal lifting platform, He held a sharp short knife in his hand.

And the tip of the dagger was on top of Qin's vitals.

The remote commander of this operation was the old chairman. After seeing this scene, his face turned livid instantly, and the corners of his eyes began to twitch involuntarily, but even so, he gave the order immediately. A "no fire" order was issued.

Others may not know Qin's true identity, but he knows it very clearly. Not only that, he also knows the oath made between the nine people who founded the organization.

They can't attack Qin, nor can they attack Qi Lin who "holds" Qin. Although the speaker knows that this is just a play, he doesn't dare to bet that if Qin dies because of this...he can't bear the responsibility.

"All units, stand by and do not fire without my order." After the speaker finished speaking, he hurried to the basalt secret room, and then took the elevator to the hidden space again.

……

……

"Everyone, you already know the current situation. Qi Lin has kidnapped that one, and he is currently confronting our people. What should we do?" Facing the eight silver-gray life-support cabins, the speaker Although he was very anxious in his heart, his tone was still respectful.

"It's not Qi Lin who is confronting you, but Qin who is confronting us." A voice sounded above his head, and then there was another tens of seconds of silence.

"Are we going to take the initiative to break the oath?" It was a female voice.

This time, the silence was longer, more than a minute.

"I think it's about time. We've been tolerant enough to Qin, but he's been making progress. This time, he should pay the price." The male voice who spoke at the beginning said, although these were electronically synthesized voices, But the speaker still heard a hint of killing intent inside.

"It's true that Qin has been making progress, but from the beginning to the end, he has never violated his original oath." The female voice said again.

"We can't break the oath. The content of the oath is valid at any time. Even if there is a traitor among us, we can't break the oath in order to eradicate him, unless the traitor breaks the oath first." The third voice Appeared, he obviously held an opposing attitude.

"I think so too... If there is an exception, if there is this first time, then there will be a second, third time... At that time, do you think we can still maintain the current relationship between us?" This is fourth person.

"But Qin really went too far this time. He clearly knows the importance of Qi Lin, but he still intends to let him go. If Qi Lin falls into the hands of the Revolutionary Union or the mastermind, have you thought about the consequences?"

"Compared with Qi Lin, I think the oath is more important. Without this oath, the organization would have already fallen apart, and we might have already become enemies with each other." Another female voice retorted.

"Well, let's vote. Vote to decide whether we should break the oath this time. In this way, I think everyone can be satisfied. If Qin is not here now, then his vote will be automatically invalidated. Now we have eight people. If If the supporters outnumber the opponents, then the content of the oath will no longer be valid for Qin."

"I abstain." The person who proposed to vote was the first to speak.

Eight votes, one abstention, leaving seven.

"I agree."

"I object."

"be opposed to."

"Agree."

"Abstain."

……

The voting process took less than 20 seconds, as for the result...

Two abstentions, two in favour, four against.

The oath is still valid for Qin, and the organized troops cannot open fire on Qin. On the contrary, they must protect Qin's safety.

"Can you think of a way to snatch Qin from Qi Lin's hands, and then subdue Qi Lin?" one of the eight people asked.

"It's very difficult... First of all, we need Qi Lin to be alive, so we can't kill him. It is already a very difficult task to complete the rescue of the hostages and capture the target alive when there are hostages in the opponent's hands. What's more, that hostage is very cooperative with the person who 'hijacked' him."

What the speaker said is not wrong. When the hostages take the initiative to cooperate with the "robbers", the difficulty of the entire rescue mission will rise by far more than one level...

……

……

On the surface, the entrance to the external passage of the sixth district.

Qi Lin held a short knife in one hand and a hand cannon with a muzzle big enough to squeeze a fist in the other, and slowly moved towards the blocking position. As for the hostage Qin, he walked in Qi Lin's direction very cooperatively. In front, even when the point of the knife moved a little away, he would step back a little, keeping the sharp metal in contact with his back.

Everyone's muzzles, crosshairs and sights were locked on Qi Lin, but no one dared to pull the trigger without the speaker's order.

They didn't know the true identity of the "hostage", but they knew that the person who commanded them was the person with the highest authority in the entire organization. Since the speaker had said that no fire was allowed, naturally no one would disobey his order.

Qi Lin and Qin kept approaching them, and they could only keep retreating. Gradually, a hollow passage appeared in the middle of the position. Qi Lin and Qin walked along this passage, easily passing through these soldiers and Passed through the power armor.

"Follow up, everyone follow up, you are not allowed to fire, but you are not allowed to let the target out of your sight!" said the speaker who had returned to the command room, since the eight were unwilling to violate the contract, he could only leave One step at a time - after all, it is impossible for Qi Lin to hold Qin hostage forever, as long as it drags on, opportunities will arise sooner or later...

But there is one thing he forgot... He was delaying time, and Qi Lin was also delaying time.

The confrontation between the two sides has lasted for more than an hour, and they are several kilometers away from the place where they blocked at the beginning. Qi Lin is still holding Qin hostage, and the organized troops still dare not launch an attack.

Right here, a violent explosion suddenly sounded from the side and rear, and as it approached, there were dense gunshots and screams one after another!
"The flanks are attacked! Our flanks are attacked! The enemy number exceeds 1000! With power armor and heavy weapons! Yes, it is the people of the Revolutionary Union!"

"Revolutionary Union?!" Looking at the real-time video sent back from the front line, the speaker Dang even punched the table, and he really forgot about the Revolutionary Union... Qi Lin and Qin's delay was enough time for the Revolutionary Union. The Union's people rushed to the ambush site.

"Quickly, divide the troops into two groups, one group will continue to follow Qi Lin, and the other group will intercept the Revolutionary Union's troops at all costs!" The speaker shouted into the microphone, "By the way, the safety of the hostages must be protected. ...That’s right, it’s the hostage taken by Qi Lin, we must not let the Gelian people hurt him!”

The Revolutionary Union's attack was much more violent than expected, and the flanks of the organized troops were destroyed almost instantly, and even two of the expensive annihilation cannons were destroyed.

The command on the front line was once in chaos. This was originally a blocking battle, but it was forcibly turned into an encounter battle because of the intervention of the Revolutionary Union... and the most troublesome thing for the frontline commanders of the organization was that they fought for the emergency. With Qi Lin, he voluntarily gave up the favorable terrain. Now these places have all been occupied by the Revolutionary Union. Tilted the ammunition over the heads of organized troops.

The number of casualties on the organization's side is still rising, but Qi Lin suddenly speeds up, leading Qin to run in the opposite direction, trying to completely shake off the organization troops following behind.
