Chapter 52 The Nest
After last night's battle, although Qi Lin had no shortage of weapons at hand now, his plan to go to that university was still unchanged.
The most weapons among yesterday's trophy were sabers and assault rifles. Both of these things could only stare at the heavy armor of the Red Dragon Six. If you want to really hurt iron cans like power armor, you either use large-caliber anti-equipment weapons or a sufficient amount of explosives.
The hunters had a few grenades on their bodies, but the number was too small. Even if they were tied together, they could only have a small depression on the armor of the sixth type of Red Dragon, which was still a little far from the armor.
"I wish there was a group of men in black who ambushed the hunter's explosives." Qi Lin sighed.
Last night, he was alarmed by the huge explosion. Judging from the large holes that were blown out, the high explosives buried underground to use to explode people also had at least dozens of kilograms of TNT equivalent power.
If these explosives explode within five meters of the Red Dragon Type Six, it will definitely be enough for people in the power armor to feel good.
Unfortunately, the men in black seemed to have only brought so much explosives. In addition, Qi Lin was not searched for any explosives on their bodies.
However, explosives made with flammable and explosive dangerous chemicals such as nitroglycerin will not be much less powerful. In the old days, some foreign terrorists often made this kind of thing. A bottle of earth-made liquid explosive disguised as a beverage was only 500 milliliters. Once it was detonated on a means of transportation such as a bus, there would not be a few survivors in the entire vehicle.
Qi Lin's current location is not far from that university. As the number of surviving players has dropped sharply, the density of players distributed in the competition area has also dropped significantly. Qi Lin walked for half a morning and did not encounter any players.
It's almost noon now. Qi Lin, who had only eaten two compressed biscuits for breakfast, couldn't help but feel his stomach began to protest slightly. When he saw that his satiety had fallen below 30 o'clock.
After finding a fairly clean house, Qi Lin took out a canned lunch meat, pried it open with a dagger, and then dug a large piece and put it in his mouth.
The lunch meat is very salty and greasy, and the starch content is also very high, so I can't eat much of the original taste of pork.
This should be the military rations allocated to Class B troops in the old era, and it is a second-class supply.
At the end of the war, most of the supplies were transported to underground shelters for storage. Moreover, due to the large depreciation of banknotes, the price of canned pork, which was sold for more than ten yuan in peacetime, instantly soared to three or four hundred, and the prices of fresh fruits and vegetables rose even more.
Of course, compared with the later when the resource points were promoted in the shelter and the coins were completely abandoned, this price was not shocking.
After all, if people know that all the money in their hands will turn into waste paper in a few months, the price of these things may increase tenfold and someone will rush to ask for it.
The promotion of the resource point system suddenly turned more than 90% of the people in the shelter into the proletariat. At that time, it really felt like I was returning to the "planned economy" era in the early days of the founding of China.
Fortunately, humans are really a creature with strong adaptability... In the eyes of many people, they could only use it as a synthetic food like pig feed, but now it has become a staple food for refuges. Many people even eat this white paste-like thing in different ways...
Canned meat like the one Qi Lin ate now has now become a delicacy that many shelter residents can’t see.
Because he can make his own guns, Qi Lin has not lived a very difficult life in the past three years... And those who really have no ability and are unwilling to do hard work can only rely on the small amount of minimum living allowance issued by the shelter intelligence brain every day - the so-called minimum living allowance can only ensure that a person "will not starve to death".
The food calories that can be exchanged for those minimum living resources can only maintain the minimum consumption of an ordinary person in a day, and many people are so hungry that they don’t even have the strength to stand up and take a few steps.
The most tragic thing is that when these people are finally willing to do the dirty and tiring work, they will find desperately that due to long-term hunger and malnutrition, they can no longer even lift the mine hoe.
In the long run, a vicious cycle will only be formed... People like those who can only lie down and wait for death account for nearly one-fifth of the slums.
Most of the remaining people will still find some money-making jobs to make a living. Although life is difficult, it can at least be maintained.
In the old and new eras, the only thing that has little change in value is precious metals.
In addition to storing a large number of living resources, the only thing that can support them to continue to prosper in the underground world is the only ton of gold that is transported underground by heavy private armed forces in safes.
The banknotes, passbooks, and even stocks and bonds held by ordinary people in the hands of the hands of the money, which were "cheap selling" by rich people in the last period of the war, were they really turned into a pile of waste paper or used to use it to the toilet.
The saying "Take antiques in prosperous times, buy gold in troubled times" is correct.
As a precious metal with rare production, gold is not only used as a single purpose as making jewelry. In industry, the demand for gold is a terrible number. Not to mention, just the gold needed to make so many internal components of the game cabin is an astronomical number.
...
Qi Lin took the whole lunch canned meat in a few seconds, and even the little minced meat and pork on the inner wall of the can was not spared. They scraped them all with a dagger, and then threw the empty can aside. At this time, several bloodthirsty rats who had been peeping in the dark for a long time suddenly came out and rushed to grab the empty can with a little oily one.
Qi Lin discovered that since he killed countless ordinary bloodthirsty rats and a special cold-resistant breed that night, he would invisibly emit a suppressive aura of this low-level mutant creature, making ordinary bloodthirsty rats not take the initiative to attack him.
This is also good, a lot of time can save a lot of time and energy - the bugs and mice are both powerful, but they are annoying enough.
After replenishing the food, Qi Lin picked up the arblade that had been equipped with a high-power scope, and began to move towards the university not far away.
His steps were a little fast and a little anxious, but despite this, he still didn't make a sound, and he was like a silent ghost, walking through the deserted streets and alleys quickly.
What Qi Lin could think of is that others may not have imagined. Perhaps other players might have taken the lead in the various reagents in the university chemistry laboratory. If that were the case, Qi Lin would have planned something else long ago.
...
Five minutes later, standing in front of this old university, Qi Lin felt a little hesitant in his heart.
It’s not that the place has been plundered by others, but Qi Lin is sure that no other player has entered to explore this university.
The entire university and the neighboring neighborhoods were filled with a faint smell of fishy smell, and the outside of the relatively well-preserved teaching and dormitories was surrounded by circles of gray and white spider silk.
These spider silks are extremely corrosive and tough. Even the hard bricks and stones are cut into several centimeters deep. Qi Lin has no doubt that in a few years, these buildings will no longer be able to see their original appearance, but will be completely transformed into several huge cocoon-shaped nests.
