Chapter 30 The Invitation of the City Lord
"Stop him! Stop him!" Looking at the off-road vehicle that was rushing towards him, Luo Chengfeng almost scared his pants. However, no matter how he shouted, his subordinates were either indifferent or deliberately "slowly hit it"-
Just kidding, I might be able to stop this person. If such an off-road vehicle powered by a rocket ejector can be stopped by human power, it would be a real ghost!
"Bang!"
The off-road vehicle hit Luo Chengfeng and two loyal players around him. The three of them flew out like kites with broken strings. Qi Lin, who had been hiding behind the car, snatched a shot with his shoulders, rolled out of the cover of the car, picked up an assault rifle dropped by the enemy on the ground, and shot a series of long shots behind him.
Compared with these players who have never touched the gun much in reality, Qi Lin's shooting skills can be considered a hit every shot. A magazine was empty in less than ten seconds, and Luo Chengfeng's subordinates lay down a large area.
This also reflects the difference in psychological qualities between soldiers and ordinary people. Generally, in such chaos, ordinary people feel panic. If their fingers hold the trigger, they will not let go. They cannot calm down and deliberately press the gun and aim. Naturally, they don’t know where the bullet will float. On the other hand, Qi Lin shoots in a standard squat position, controls breathing, aim first, shoots three points in one cycle, and kills one cleanly.
Qi Lin felt like he was back on the battlefield, with the sound of cannons in his ears, and his teammates kept climbing over one bunker after another with weapons, while he put the death sights one by one on the enemy's head one by one.
After all the two magazines were empty, Qi Lin realized that the only last player brought by Luo Chengfeng was left, holding a small pistol in both hands and looking at him with fear.
"You...you...you don't come over!"
The player's legs began to sway. Seeing Qi Lin projecting his gaze on him, he actually let out a shrill scream, threw down the weapon in his hand and ran away...
"md, the speed of running... is at least seven or eight o'clock..." Seeing the other party leaving, Qi Lin was shocked, and then picked up the pistol thrown by the other party on the ground.
Just as Qi Lin was about to clean the battlefield, two Thunder City guards who had been watching the show suddenly ran up. They raised their hands and showed that they were not hostile. However, they walked to Qi Lin five meters away and stood still. They swallowed a bit, their voice was a little dry, and they said nervously: "You... Hello, our city lord just watched your battle video. He... He said he was very interested in you... that, very interested, and wanted to see you."
Upon hearing this, Qi Lin looked up and looked at the two guards again. In reality, these players should be residents of the middle area. They were wearing an initial cotton short shirt for the player in the middle area. Outside the short shirt was the unified uniform of the guards of Thunder City, a synthetic fiber jacket with the thunder emblem and a blue and yellow color.
"Lord of Thunder City, do you want to see me?" Qi Lin pointed at himself with his finger.
"Yes, yes." The two guards nodded in a hurry.
Qi Lin thought about it and didn't quite understand why a big man like Thunder City Lord would have time to meet him. However, since he wanted to stay in the other party's territory for a while, it would be unreasonable to not give him any face.
"Okay, please lead a way."
...
...
After the explanation of the two guards, Qi Lin realized that Thunder City was located on the surface and was built later, while the real city core was located underground, similar to a shelter, generally well-connected tunnels and bunkers.
However, unlike the shelter, the underground Thunder City does not have to resist nuclear explosions and radiation, and the depth is not that deep. In addition, with the help of Xuzhou City's original subway channel and underground drainage system, the area of this dungeon is quite exaggerated.
"The proven dungeon area is only about one-tenth of the original Xuzhou City. Now the city is recruiting a large number of underground pioneers, but the casualties in recent days have been a bit too large."
After discovering that Qi Lin is actually a very easy-to-talk person, these two guard players began to talk more.
"casualties?"
"Yes, the task of this pioneer is actually similar to that of the diggers in the shelter in reality. It's just that they don't need to dig the soil here. Just clean up the existing underground pipelines. The casualties come from monsters hidden in unknown areas."
"Are there mutated creatures underground?"
"Yes, and many, bloodthirsty rats and various mutant insects are the most common. It is said that some people found a monster that was more than ten meters long in the 19th District, similar to pangolins. A team of more than twenty people died without even understanding the specific appearance of the monster. Now no one dares to approach the 19th District." The guard sighed and said.
It seems that it is not just above the ground, but also the underground world is full of dangers.
Under the leadership of the two guards, Qi Lin passed through a lane that was quite luxurious by wasteland standards: the semicircular lane is nearly ten meters wide, the ground is all watered and compacted with cement, covered with stone slabs carved with anti-slip patterns, and on both sides are an electric lamp for lighting every fifteen meters, and the glass lampshade comes from the ruins of the old city. Although there are some incomplete and cracks, it has a strange beauty.
The moss and dirt on the wall tiles on both sides were scraped completely. If there wasn't a metal ladder in the middle of the lane connecting a closed manhole cover on the arch, Qi Lin wouldn't have seen that the passage that looked like the underground secret room of a medieval European castle would have been transformed by an abandoned sewage pipe.
At the end of the alley is a door dug out from the wall. Qi Lin discovered at a glance that the material of the door panel was actually very rare and expensive walnut in the old era, but some subtle scratches on it proved that the door panel also originated from the ruins of the old city.
"There is everything in the ruins." This is a famous saying that has been widely spread among players in the past two days. It is precisely because of this sentence that countless players from slums have joined the ranks of scavengers without hesitation.
Yes, there are everything in ruins. In addition to all kinds of treasures left by the old era, there are also many zombies and mutant creatures. In addition to these monsters, the ones that need to be guarded against are the swords stabbed in the back by both human players.
It is said that there are less than fifty scavengers who entered the city's ruins in the morning to hunt for treasures in the evening.
If such a high casualty rate had scared away a large number of people, there would not have been so many down-and-out people outside Thunder City.
The down-and-outs also pick up scatters, but they only dare to wander around the ruins of the city that have been cleaned up countless times. Although it is safe, they naturally have little gains. Whether they can support themselves is a huge problem.
There were also two players standing in front of this luxurious walnut gate, but their equipment made Qi Lin's pupils shrink slightly-
"Light infantry exoskeleton!"
This kind of equipment that was standard for infantry troops in the old era was an absolute luxury now! As far as Qi Lin knew, only the elite troops in the shelter were equipped, and they were not equipped with all personnel.
This is a combat exoskeleton, like an armor frame. In addition to being able to withstand bullets shot to key points, it also has a great auxiliary effect. For example, a soldier originally had only seven power attributes, but with the help of the mechanical power of the exoskeleton, he could easily lift heavy objects that needed ten power attributes to lift.
In addition, in terms of climbing and running, the exoskeleton can also allow a soldier who can only be considered medium speed to meet the standards of national athletes, and it is even better.
Compared with the power armor called "human-shaped tank" and "mini Gundam", the exoskeleton can be regarded as light equipment, but if it is placed in the wasteland world, the meaning is completely different.
In the war of the end of the world, although countries had already fought hard at that time and had no distinction between military zones and demilitarized zones, military garrisons and arsenals were still the key targets of various countries.
In this war that eventually turned into nuclear bombs, although the number of civilians died a lot, the proportion was still the loss of the army even heavier.
After all, compared to the threat level, the threat of the army is definitely higher than that of the unarmed civilians, and naturally it is more cared for by the enemy.
For example, the army in the shelter is now just some security companies similar to urban management hired armed personnel. Originally, when the shelter was not fully opened, the combat effectiveness was completely incomparable to the regular army, and the equipment was naturally a hundred and eight thousand miles apart.
Most regular troops were basically killed or injured in the last few battles, which led to the current army in the shelter not only having low personnel quality, but also having a decades backwards in equipment.
Light exoskeletons like this are not that easy to take out!
There are indeed a lot of equipment left in the old military camps and arsenals in the wasteland, including intact and a few that can be used with a little repair. However... all of these areas that have been hit hard are now high-radiation death zones. Even if anti-radiation drugs are eaten as sugar beans and put on the thickest protective suits, most people can't hold on for a few minutes when they go in. How can they find these equipment inside and bring them out?
Unless there are radiation-immune evolutionists like Qi Lin... but hiring evolutionists to pick up the scattered is really a bit extravagant...
...
Two players wearing light exoskeletons looked at the three of them. One of them was wearing the rank of captain on his armband. His eyes were filled with a condescending aura. The guard who casually brought Qi Lin to him asked, "Is this kid the one who was named just now?"
"Yes." The guard immediately replied respectfully.
