Chapter 923 List

"What about Xiao Lei? Where is he now? You should know him as the kid who lived with me for a while." Qi Lin asked.

"Are you talking about Qi Lei?"

"Qi Lei...? Did this guy give himself a pseudonym?" Qi Lin was slightly stunned. He never knew what Xiao Lei's name was. The only thing that was certain was that this guy's surname was Lei.

Unexpectedly, this guy actually borrowed his last name and his original last name and took a new name.

"That's right, but he did only have a surname before and no first name." The mastermind said, "So I directly defaulted his pseudonym to his real name."

"Only a surname? No name?" Qi Lin was a little confused. He originally thought that Xiao Lei just didn't want to mention his name for some reason, but he didn't expect that he really only had the last name "Lei"...

"How is this going?"

"Because of superstition."

"Huh? Superstitious?"

"Qi Lei's parents have relatively old ideas. After Qi Lei was born, they asked a profession called a 'Taoist' to do fortune-telling for him. According to the fortune-telling, they learned that naming him before he was twenty years old would bring good luck. He encountered bad luck, so his name has never been decided.”

"This is too ridiculous..." The corners of Qi Lin's mouth twitched slightly. He could fully imagine how inconvenient Xiaolei's life was back then, and it was easy to be laughed at by others if he said such things. No wonder He never told himself.

But...why can the mastermind even find this kind of thing?

"What exactly is in your database? Why do you even know this?"

"Basically all the digital files of human society in the old era have been copied to my database. The Taoist priest used WeChat to scan the QR code to collect money, and the fortune-telling results were saved by Qi Lei's father on his mobile phone. That’s why I know these things... In addition, if you want to know the news about your biological mother and biological father, I can also tell you."

"My parents?!" Qi Lin was greatly shocked... To be honest, the word parents was too far away for him. From the age he could remember, he had never felt anything else. The love that children of the same age deserved, the only thing he could come into contact with at that time was the malice from the whole world.

Qi Lin always felt that it was very incredible that after growing up in that kind of environment, he did not become a pervert with a dark psychology and a twisted personality...

"Wait a minute... wait... don't tell me about them yet... No, no, I don't have parents, I'm just an abandoned, abducted child..." Qi Lin said incoherently, in his heart It was very confusing - indeed, he really wanted to know their news, but he was also afraid of knowing their news.

He couldn't confirm whether they were still alive. Even if they were alive, Qi Lin didn't know how to face them.

To talk about hatred, there must be some, but in his impression, the image of his parents has faded to almost no trace, and he can't even find a target for him to hate...

Even if his biological parents were standing in front of him now, in Qi Lin's eyes, they would probably be no different from two strangers...

"Forget it, I'm not interested in knowing this kind of news. Let's discuss the next plan." After being silent for about half a minute, Qi Lin raised his head again and said to the mastermind.

"Okay." Unlike Qi Lin, the mastermind's mood seemed very calm. Its holographic projection waved its arm slightly, and a map appeared directly in the air.

"The Sixth District was breached, and some consortiums that were opposed to Xia were also bloodbathed. However, this crackdown was too hasty, leaving many survivors who slipped through the net. Free Will was secretly seeking and sheltering These survivors, and find a way to escort them to the ground. By the way, the Qi Lei you just asked about, he is performing this mission now."

"Above the ground? Does Free Will have a stronghold on the ground?" In Qi Lin's impression, Free Will is just an underground resistance organization supported by a consortium. As for building a ground stronghold, Qi Lin doesn't think they Have this ability.

"It's the backhand left by Qin, but he didn't have the chance to use it, so he left it to those with free will."

"This guy... actually concealed so many things?" Qi Lin sighed secretly. He had never heard that Qin had a stronghold on the surface of the earth. He originally thought that the sixth area was all his property. .

The number of survivors in District Six and those purged consortiums is definitely not small. It can accommodate so many people, and it can be imagined that it is a quite large stronghold.

"I'm actually very curious. There are survivors in the Sixth District who were able to escape. Why did Qin disappear? According to his acting style, when the coalition forces of the Organization and the Revolutionary Alliance began to attack the Sixth District, he should have been on that ground. It’s inside the stronghold.”

"I don't know..." Before the mastermind could finish speaking, his holographic projection suddenly fluctuated violently. After a few seconds, it returned to normal.

"The latest news is that Qin has not disappeared, but has been captured by the coalition forces and is currently being held in an undersea prison located directly under the Bering Strait."

"Fuck..." Upon hearing the news, Qi Lin immediately spit out a curse word.

Qin himself is the key breakthrough point in the technology of the Utopia Project. If he is not caught, everything will be fine. At least Qi Lin and the others still have some room to turn the situation around. But now that he is captured, then through his According to research, Xia He and the mastermind may break through the technical difficulty of consciousness stripping at any time. As long as this difficulty is broken through, the Utopia Project will be fully launched immediately... By then, everything will be too late.

"You have to find a way to rescue Qin. I am contacting Free Will now. They will send an elite team. After meeting with them, you will immediately go to the Bering Strait to prepare for a rescue operation."

After the mastermind said this, he paused for a moment before continuing: "If the rescue operation fails, you must at least kill Qin. Remember, his brain must be completely destroyed."

"I know." Qi Lin nodded seriously.

…

Thirty minutes later, the mastermind brought a list in front of Qi Lin, which included all the members involved in the rescue operation.

Except for Qi Lin and Bioman 0592, there are a total of twelve people on the list, and the names of Ling Kui and Song Xiaodie also appear on the list.

Harveys, Danish-Chinese, male, 43 years old, former instructor of the 1st Special Forces Forces of the Sixth District. Fourth-level evolvers, main evolution directions: strength, agility, and vision. Special abilities: night vision, super long sight, potential burst. He is good at close combat and long-range sniping. He has served for twenty years. He is familiar with all things that professional soldiers should be familiar with and is proficient in multiple languages.

(Note: This person is one of Qin’s confidants, reliable and can be completely trusted.)

Lin Que, a Chinese, male, 22 years old, was a freelance mercenary. Since he was stationed in the target shelter at the beginning of the purge operation, he was also regarded as a purge target by the coalition forces. Third-level evolver, main evolution direction: agility. Special ability: Sprint. Good at reconnaissance, infiltration and theft.

(Note: The purpose of joining Free Will is not clear. It claims to be a commission for Free Will, but in fact it does not ask for any more materials.)

Akon, Congolese, male, 37 years old, was a hunter from a tribe in central Africa when he was young. He later participated in the local war in Central Africa as a guide. At the end of the conventional war, he joined the Beiling Consortium. He is a member of the Free Will Organization and a third-level evolver. , balanced ability, the ability to use crossbows is stronger than firearms, and is proficient in any knowledge related to hunting and tracking.

(Note: Poor language skills, only speaking native language and English with heavy accent and grammatical errors, making communication difficult.)

Song Xiaodie is a 17-year-old female descendant of refugees. She is an ancestor of the Vampire Clan, and her abilities are equivalent to those of a fifth-level human evolver.

(Note: The ability is unstable, and the vampire bloodline may backfire at any time.)

Ayakui, a carrier of artificial powers, female, 15 years old, possesses mental powers equivalent to those of a fourth-level human evolver.

(Note: Suffering from schizophrenia, his personality does not have the ability to fight.)

Bruce, American, 20 years old, free mercenary, level 4 evolver, main evolution direction: strength. Special ability: Strengthening of strength. When this ability reaches its extreme, it can exert power close to that of a fifth-level evolver.

Before the purge operation, he was employed by the Blackbird Consortium, one of the purge targets, and used his brute force to smash open the five-centimeter-thick metal gate with his bare hands, escaped to the ground through an exhaust pipe, and then ran into Free Will in the wasteland. The escort team joined the free will.

(Note: Bruce has a violent personality, is fond of alcoholic drinks, is a great womanizer, and has a slight drug addiction.)

Jiang Shanyan, a Korean, female, 30 years old, former deputy director of the organization's information intelligence department, a top hacker, a second-level evolver, and her own combat ability is not strong.

(Note: He has a cowardly personality, suffers from severe insomnia and mania, and is drug dependent.)

George Van Helsing, a vampire hunter and werewolf, has the strength equivalent to a fifth-level human evolver.

…

…

Qi Lin read the entire list in one breath. Except for the female hacker, the weakest person on the list was also a third-level evolver. Such a team is indeed very strong, but...

"Are these people reliable? A makeshift team is going to carry out such a task. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't feel very reliable." Looking at the flaws specially marked for each person in the notes, Qi Lin couldn't help but shook his head. Acting alone for a long time has made him feel uneasy about leaving his back to a stranger.

Except for Ling Kui and Song Xiaodie, as well as the big guy 0592 and the magic sniper George who had fought with Qi Lin, Qi Lin didn't feel at ease even with Harveys who was considered completely trustworthy.

That's not to mention Lin Que, who is called a mercenary but is actually a thief, and Bruce, who has a bad temper, is addicted to alcohol and drugs.

If any one person in the team has a problem, it may cause the entire rescue operation to fall short, or even kill everyone in the team.

"Better to lack than to abuse", this was the first request Qi Lin made to the mastermind, and the second request was to cross Song Xiaodie's name off the list.

"Her bloodline is very unstable. Unexpected situations may happen if she is brought with her. Once an accident occurs, not only will she not be able to become a reliable fighting force, but she will also affect the entire team, so I think it is better to keep her. ." Qi Lin said to the mastermind. When it comes to wanting to keep Song Xiaodie, Qi Lin does have some selfish motives, but everything he said is true. He brought a fifth-level evolution with extremely unstable abilities. Or, it's like carrying an oversized time bomb. What's more important is that no one knows the countdown of this time bomb...

As for Lingkui, Qi Lin didn't say much. Although this little loli was judged to be level four, her actual combat ability was not inferior to him at all. As for her split personality problem... although it was also a problem, it was at least better than Song's. Fluttershy's ancestor bloodline is much more stable.

Besides, if there is one more person in the team who is worthy of his trust, Qi Lin can control the situation faster if any unexpected situation occurs.

"Apart from Song Xiaodie? There is a battle vacancy for a fifth-level evolver... Fortunately, I have a replacement plan." The mastermind said.

"Alternative plan? What alternative plan?"

"Cheng Yanqiu, now it has hunted more than a thousand different mutant creatures in the wasteland. By absorbing the genes of those mutant creatures and surviving the fittest, it has evolved into a nearly perfect predator. Its strength is not weaker than Level 5 human evolver.”

"He...how is he now?" Qi Lin's tone changed slightly.

After all, Cheng Yanqiu is also one of Qi Lin's few friends. Now that he has become like that, and even uses the word "it" to describe Cheng Yanqiu, who was originally a human, Qi Lin always has a feeling in his heart. Unspeakably uncomfortable.

"I know you are asking about his self-awareness... Unfortunately, the original consciousness and memory of a human being have almost completely disappeared. Only the instinct of being a predator remains in his mind. After the control chip is implanted, he will It is a perfect fighting machine, so you don’t need to bear any psychological burden... The original Cheng Yanqiu is dead, this is just a biochemical monster that is good at fighting."

"Okay..." Qi Lin exhaled a long breath, suppressing the sadness in his heart as much as possible. He also understood that when Cheng Yanqiu began to devour other mutant creatures, the ones accompanying him As his strength continues to increase, those parts of him that are human will decrease until...all disappear...
