Chapter 928 Arrival
"How is the quality of the gasoline?" Qi Lin asked. The quality of the gasoline determines the power of the vehicle. The gasoline he found in the club before was definitely of high quality, but he could not guarantee that the gasoline stored by these thugs was also of high quality. Goods from the same route.
Especially this kind of modified motorcycle engine is very picky about fuel. If the purity of the gasoline is not up to standard or sediment is mixed with it, it can easily cause engine damage.
"You can inspect the goods." Ivan said.
Qi Lin was not polite and directly brought a bucket up, unscrewed the cap and looked into the oil barrel.
As they said, there was about two-thirds of the gasoline left in the barrel, but the oil looked very clear and there wasn't much sediment at the bottom. It was obviously of good quality.
"I need twenty liters of petrol."
"I can give it to you, but we also said that you must take us to the safe stronghold of 'free will'."
"My motorcycle can't carry six people...but I have another way." Qi Lin said after thinking for a while.
"any solution?"
"You can find a car and drive there. You just need to clear the obstacles on the road and walk along the outskirts of the city. There shouldn't be any big problems."
"Are you kidding? Where do you want us to find a car?" Ivan looked slightly unhappy.
"Cars... aren't they everywhere here?"
"As I said, we have basically tried all these cars, and none of them can be driven. Otherwise, we wouldn't stay in this hellish place anymore!"
"So have you ever tried to repair the cars that don't drive?"
"This..." Ivan was suddenly speechless.
Military police are different from ordinary soldiers. Apart from combat, the remaining skills they need to learn are almost all things that are difficult to use in actual combat. It’s not that the military police are not strong in combat ability, it’s just that their However, the comprehensive skills are not as good as those of the regular troops. As for people like Qi Lin who were born as mercenaries and have received systematic special forces training, the difference is even greater.
Qi Lin's guess was correct... among the six military police, none of them could repair cars...
Auto repair is a skill that everyone, not to mention the special forces, must master. After all, vehicles are important tools for transferring people and materials. If something breaks down on the road, and it happens to be a repairman in the team, If you are away or killed, no one can repair the car, and it is basically dead.
Especially in urban battlefields where a lot of vehicles are used, auto repair can be said to be a skill second only to driving in importance.
…
Qi Lin and Ivan walked twice around the road where a large number of abandoned cars were piled up, and finally selected a Range Rover with a relatively well-preserved shell. In fact, a large part of these scrapped cars were just because of If the car is parked for too long, the mixture of dust and oil may clog the engine pistons and oil pipes, or the tires may become deformed or the battery may run out of power.
"Fortunately, I found some tools from that club..." Qi Lin opened his backpack, rummaged through it to find a bunch of repair tools, and then opened the hood of the car.
The quality of this Range Rover was pretty good, and there were no problems with the tires. Qi Lin just cleaned the engine, then adjusted the power of a nuclear battery and connected it to the car's own battery. When Lao Si poured gasoline into the fuel tank After that, the Range Rover was quickly started.
Seeing that the car was started, Ivan and others had lost most of their wariness towards Qi Lin. At least, they no longer subconsciously put their hands on the guns.
"Are you riding in this car with us? Or should we follow you?" Ivan walked around the Land Rover and asked Qi Lin.
"No, I can't go with you."
"Why?! Aren't you going to that stronghold too?" Ivan and others were very puzzled.
"I have urgent information that needs to be sent back. I am in a hurry. I am walking through an underground tunnel. There are many mutant creatures there. The danger is much higher than on the surface... Moreover, the most critical issue is that this car is driving Don’t go in.” Qi Lin said.
The main reason why he didn't want to go with Ivan and the others was that they were afraid of being slowed down by them. Although the Land Rover was very powerful, it was difficult to move within the city where it was blocked everywhere. They could only go around the city. Traveling on the edge requires a large circle.
"Then how can we get there?" Ivan pondered for a while, but he had no intention of forcing Qi Lin to lead the way.
"This is the map." Qi Lin took out the map provided by the mastermind from his pocket. He had memorized all the information on the map. Even if he didn't look at it, he could copy the map's contents in his head anytime and anywhere. ——Besides, after leaving the interference zone and resuming communication with the mastermind, the real-time dynamic map provided by the mastermind will be far more useful than this emergency supply.
"We are now at this location...the intersection of Highway 35 and Highway 16." Qi Lin spread the map in front of Ivan and others, pointing to a point on it and said.
"So... is this the safe base of 'free will'?" Ivan asked as he saw the red circle on the map at a glance.
"Yes." Qi Lin nodded, "You can drive along this route -" Qi Lin took out his pen and drew a large circle along the edge of the abandoned city.
"According to my calculations, you should still have plenty of gasoline after arriving at the stronghold, as long as you don't drive the wrong way."
"I know, let's go now?"
"Wait a minute." Qi Lin hesitated, but still told Ivan and others about the monitoring satellite and the time to avoid the satellite.
These military policemen were shocked that there were still usable satellites in the sky, but they were relieved when they knew that these satellites belonged to the mastermind.
"Just tell us this, if nothing else, we will be brothers from now on!" Ivan smiled and patted Qi Lin on the shoulder.
"You guys from the special forces know better. Those of us who work as military police are completely blind when we come to the surface. We don't know anything. If we hadn't met you, we probably could have survived in this terrible place. , it will have to be discovered by satellite sooner or later." said the fourth child.
In fact, the reason why Qi Lin told them this was because he was afraid that their whereabouts would be captured by satellites. If they were killed directly, it would be okay. He was afraid that the mastermind would not take action and use them to find the stronghold of free will. , then the trouble would be big.
"There are specialties in the art industry... After all, this is what I rely on to make a living." Qi Lin said with a smile.
"Specialization is nothing. The little things we learned are used to deal with our own people... Look at this gun, the fucking nine-millimeter bullets hit those monsters like they were tickling. Fortunately, the fourth child was there. Smart, I picked up a handful of large-caliber gadgets from the bodies of the killed coalition soldiers, otherwise we would still be driven around by those monsters running around in the ruins -" Ivan spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, and then left the remaining Several barrels of gasoline were poured into the car.
"Okay, let's not say anything more. Didn't you say you were in a hurry? Then we will see you again in the future."
"See you soon!" Qi Lin waved to the gendarmes and ran towards the subway tunnel with gasoline, while Ivan and the others also got into the Land Rover and drove out in the other direction.
…
It wasn't until Qi Lin disappeared in the Land Rover's rearview mirror that the fourth child suddenly turned his head and asked Ivan: "Brother Ivan, do you think that guy... is really reliable? Will he be there?" Lie to us?"
"Lie? Do you think that guy needs to lie to us?"
"What's the meaning?"
"To tell you the truth... that guy... is not a member of the Sixth District Special Forces at all!" Ivan said while driving the car.
"What?"
"I've seen those guys from the Sixth District Special Forces. They all have a special tattoo under their necks, close to their collarbones. I observed that guy just now when he squatted down to clean the exhaust pipe. He didn't have that tattoo at all. Get a tattoo!"
"Maybe it was washed off? After all, for people like them who have to perform special tasks, wouldn't it be very inconvenient to have such a tattoo on their body?" asked another military policeman sitting in the back seat.
"Even so...then do you know how strong he is?"
"How strong?"
"Let's put it this way... I can say that he is the strongest one among us. The second-level top evolver has already touched the threshold of the third level. He only needs a serum or an opportunity to break through. But in In my opinion, that guy's strength is simply unfathomable. This feeling, the stronger one's own strength, the clearer the feeling... This is also the reason why I didn't object after the guy asked to change the conditions just now. To be honest, I doubt he could even kill us all in an instant, but he didn't do that." There was a hint of fear in Ivan's tone.
"Is he a fourth-level evolver?!"
"It's very possible... a person with no skills, do you think you dare to act alone in the wasteland? If it were you, given the same equipment as that guy, would you dare to go to that stronghold alone?"
"Don't you dare --" the military policeman suddenly shook his head like a rattle.
Among the six of them, only Ivan and Lao Si are evolvers. Ivan is at the second level and Lao Si is at the first level. If it weren't for the fighting power of the two of them, these military policemen would have turned into those mutants as soon as they arrived on the surface. The feces of creatures - no, to be precise, it's very likely that they can't even get out of the shelter.
…
…
Qi Lin returned to the subway tunnel with gasoline. After filling the fuel tank, he jumped on the motorcycle and turned the accelerator to the maximum. Now that the fuel problem had been solved, he had to rush as quickly as possible. He just had to go to the rendezvous, he had already wasted enough time...
…
…
Eight hours later.
According to the time shown on the watch at 7:05, it should be morning now, but the sky is getting darker and darker, and the thick ink-like color seems to be dripping down at any time. The entire barren wasteland was also dyed black.
Qi Lin had abandoned the vehicle and started trekking on the wasteland on foot. He also told Ivan and others that transportation must be abandoned on the last section of the road to avoid leaving too obvious traces on the wasteland.
The energy-gathering vortex rotated at a constant speed, and Qi Lin started to trot quickly. Although his speed was comparable to the speed of the old Olympic sprint champion in the 100-meter sprint, for him, this speed was slightly faster than spreading. At one point, he didn't even need to accelerate the energy-gathering vortex. He could run at this level just by relying on the power provided by his muscles and bones.
The stronghold of free will soon appeared in Qi Lin's field of vision - it was a semi-underground building with an oval roof on the ground, more than 400 meters long and 200 meters wide. The cover is covered with a layer of earth and stone for camouflage. From the perspective of the satellite observation camera, this place is just a small area of hills.
According to the time, Ivan and others should not have entered the wasteland yet, and it was naturally impossible for Qi Lin to wait for them. When they were still 500 meters away from the Free Will Stronghold, Qi Lin stopped - the mastermind had already After sending the message, he only needed to wait for the people in the stronghold to pick him up.
The man of free will did not let Qi Lin wait long. Soon, two people wearing khaki camouflage cloaks suddenly appeared from not far away and waved to Qi Lin who was sitting behind a big rock.
"You're really cautious..."
Qi Lin complained silently in his heart and walked towards the two people.
After receiving the password, the two took Qi Lin in a small circle to the back of a mound, where there was a disguised entrance.
"By the way, I met six survivors of the Great Purge in the abandoned city. They are also coming here. Your entrance is so hidden, I am a little worried that they will not find it."
"It's okay. There are many hidden cameras outside. If someone approaches here, our people will find out immediately. After confirming their identity, someone will pick them up." A responder Qi Lin said, this is A young man who looked less than twenty years old had a light white scar on the bridge of his nose. Qi Lin noticed that his right arm holding the gun was a mechanical prosthesis, and his left hand only had the thumb and index finger. Three fingers on the middle finger.
"Are you a member of Free Will?" Qi Lin asked as he walked along the passage.
"That's it now."
"So, wasn't it before?"
"Before? In the past, I had no interest in doing this kind of work where I could lose my head at any time. But the problem now is that if I don't do it, I will lose my head, so there is nothing I can do." The responder shrugged. He said with a shrug.
I wish you all a Happy New Year! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! May all go well with you! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
