Chapter 929 “Noah’s Ark”

Qi Lin followed the two men through a long tunnel, and after passing six sentries, he was able to truly enter the interior of this stronghold.

"Welcome to 'Noah's Ark'." A very lively tone sounded next to Qi Lin. He was a thin young man with messy hair like a chicken coop on his head, but he was wearing a An almost spotless tight-fitting suit... Qi Lin recognized this guy's identity just by looking at him. The information he had seen in the list also appeared in Qi Lin's mind again. .

"Lin Que, Chinese, 22 years old, free mercenary, because he was stationed in the target shelter at the beginning of the purge operation, he was regarded as a purge target by the coalition forces. A third-level evolver, the main direction of evolution: agility. Special. Ability: Sprinting. Good at reconnaissance, stealth infiltration and..."

"Ha, I guess you are the 'expert' invited by the mysterious big boss, right?" Lin Que walked up to Qi Lin with a smile, reached out and patted Qi Lin's arm, but right here At that moment, Qi Lin suddenly grabbed Lin Que's wrist and twisted it directly behind his back. At the same time, he kicked Lin Que in the knee socket, forcing him to kneel on the ground.

This sudden change immediately shocked several members of Free Will around them, but just when they reached out to touch the gun, there was a "click" and a pistol magazine fell out of Lin Que's sleeve.

Qi Lin let go of Lin Que, picked up the pistol magazine, then took out the pistol from his waist and inserted the magazine.

"Hehe... my hands are itchy..." Lin Que stood up from the ground, scratched the back of his head, and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile, "My brother's reaction speed is pretty good, although there are a few other guys who can also notice it right away. But you are the first to be able to restrain me so quickly."

Seeing that it was just a joke played by Lin Que, several people around him breathed a sigh of relief. The man who brought Qi Lin in gave Lin Que a hard look and said seriously: "Lin Que, you are the most important person." You'd better stop playing those little tricks of yours, or you might get your hands and feet broken anytime—"

"It's okay if my hands and feet are broken, but I can install a mechanical arm like yours... Wow, that's really cool." Lin Que glanced at the other person's mechanical prosthesis and said with a smile.

"You'd better be careful with me."

"What can you do to me? You also understand the rules of this place...and the most important problem is - you can't beat me."

In response to Lin Que's ridicule, the man didn't say much. He just looked at him with great disgust, then turned around and said to Qi Lin: "My mission is completed, Lin Que will take you to the gathering place." , just follow him."

"Come with me." Lin Que said. For Qi Lin, his cynical character would have restrained a lot.

In fact, Qi Lin didn't hold back much just now. If that force were applied to an ordinary person, his wrist would have been twisted and dislocated long ago. However, when Qi Lin grabbed Lin Que's wrist, something came from above. There was a soft and boneless feeling. If Qi Lin's strength was not strong enough, Lin Que might have been able to break free.

However, when Lin Que twisted his arm, a large part of the force he exerted on Lin Que was removed by the other party in an extremely clever way.

If Qi Lin guessed correctly, this Lin Que should also master jujitsu such as Bone Shrinking Kung Fu.

"We have been waiting for you for a long time, and you are late." Lin Que said while leading Qi Lin through the passage.

"There was a little situation on the road."

The two quickly passed through the outer area of ​​the stronghold and entered a place similar to an airport waiting hall. A large number of sleeping bags were spread all over the hall. Many people were sitting on the ground, and some were eating. Some people gathered together in twos and threes and chatted about something, while others did nothing and just stared at the lights on the ceiling in a daze.

"These are all refugees admitted by free will." Lin Que said to Qilin, and then lowered his voice a little, "Actually...according to me, these people should be left in the wasteland. In addition to wasting limited resources, they , it’s of no use at all…”

This time coincided with Free Will's distribution of food to the refugees. Since there were soldiers with live ammunition watching from the side, the distribution process was quite orderly, and there was no looting or fighting.

Qi Lin noticed that the supplies everyone could get were only a piece of solid unfermented dough the size of a baby's fist, a small bag of salt, two vitamin tablets and a 200 ml bottle with some unknown sediment at the bottom. freshwater.

"Is this a meal?"

"No, it's a day's supply. The next distribution will be this time tomorrow. To be honest, supplies are really scarce now. We even had to send people to nearby abandoned cities to collect usable items." Lin Que replied road.

Many of those who lined up to receive supplies were wearing expensive and exquisite clothing. Although most of them were dirty and torn, it can be seen from the trinkets made of gems and precious metals that these people once definitely belonged to People from the upper class took shelter, but their expressions were dull and numb now. They had no complaints about the meager and extremely hard-to-eat supplies. They seemed to have accepted the current reality.

After receiving the supplies, everyone silently returned to their original positions. Some people began to break the dough into small pieces with their fingers and put them into their mouths, while others carefully hid the dough in their sleeping bags. Inside, I only swallowed two vitamin tablets and drank a sip of water.

These people's faces were pale, their lips were dry and chapped, and their movements were very slow and slow. Although Lin Que's words were a bit excessive, in fact there was nothing wrong with what he said. Qi Lin was also very puzzled as to why free will would choose to go. Accommodate these survivors and waste a large amount of materials on them.

In his impression, whether it is the first master brain or the second master brain, although their operating principles are completely different, they undoubtedly put interests and efficiency first, and nothing of value is in the master brain. In his eyes, they are worse than trash... As for this group of refugees, to be honest, Qi Lin really can't imagine what kind of value they can create to the mastermind.

"Let's walk faster. To be honest, this place really stinks. It smells worse than the black streets in the slums of the shelter." Looking at these survivors, Lin Que's eyes were full of disgust and disgust. Just as he said, The entire hall is filled with an indescribable stench - there are only four toilets in total, and the number of survivors gathered in the hall is estimated to be more than 10,000. Many people who can't wait can only use "personal toilets" The problem was solved on the spot, coupled with the evaporation of sweat and the dissipation of various body odors, these odors were mixed together and kept getting into Qi Lin's nose... This lethality was no longer at all No less toxic than the poisonous gas in the tunnels of the slums.

After glancing at the survivors in the hall, Qi Lin nodded, acquiescing to Lin Que's statement, and followed the latter quickly through the aisle in the center of the hall to the other end of the hall.

In the corner at the end of the hall is a spiral staircase. According to Lin Que's introduction to Qi Lin, walking up this staircase leads to the huge oval roof. A large number of electromagnetic interference equipment and defenses are installed under the roof. Weapons are used to protect the safety of the stronghold, and going down the stairs leads to the underground part of the stronghold.

Lin Que led Qi Lin down the stairs. The sentries walking back and forth in the stairwell silently moved out of the way after seeing Lin Que, and did not take the initiative to come up for questioning.

"Who is in charge of this stronghold now?" Qi Lin asked curiously.

"That mysterious 'big boss', we all call him 'BOSS', but he has never really shown up, so we don't know who he is." Lin Que shrugged.

Qi Lin certainly knows that this BOSS refers to the second mastermind, and it is naturally impossible for him to tell these people his true identity, but if he only relies on the mastermind to issue orders remotely, the order in this stronghold cannot be maintained so well. After all, it is the people who are really managing this stronghold, rather than just relying on a few instructions from the mastermind.

"Oh... I understand what you mean. Are you asking who is the talker in this stronghold besides the BOSS? Then it should be Boss Harveys, the big guy and that little kid."

Harveys Qi Lin knows that, the former instructor of the first special forces of the Sixth District and one of Qin's confidants. As for the big guy, he should refer to the cyborg 0592, but the "little kid"... in Qi Lin's In my impression, there were no minors on that list...

Wait... "What you're talking about...should be Ayakui, right?"

"Oh? Do you know her? To be honest, I suggest you not to mess with this little brat. She looks young and is not easy to bully at all. Last time I wanted to touch her breasts, but my hands didn't touch her. When she arrived, she was lifted up by her mind power and fell to the concrete floor, breaking several ribs..."

"I think..." Qi Lin looked at Lin Que with a very complicated expression and said in a deep voice.

"Huh? What do you think?"

"She didn't twist your head off directly, so she already restrained her temper..."

"...You...know her?"

Qi Lin didn't say anything, so he acquiesced.

"Okay, but I really just wanted to make a joke." Lin Que spread his hands and said that he had no ill intentions.

"Then it can only mean that you are lucky and have a great destiny... By the way, besides Ayakui, is there another girl..."

"I know what you are going to ask. Is she the sick girl who often stays with little kids? Her face is as pale as a piece of paper, but her eyes are as red as if they are about to bleed? She has a long face? She is quite good-looking, but she talks very little and hardly communicates with anyone except the little kid. Moreover, she often sleeps in a portable life-support capsule, so we rarely see her more than once." Lin Que said.

"Yes, that's her. Is she here now?" Qi Lin nodded.

"It was there the day before yesterday, but it was picked up yesterday."

"Picked him up? Where were he picked up?"

"I don't know. This is BOSS's request, and her name has also been crossed off the action list."

"Oh, I see..." Although he was a little disappointed not to see Song Xiaodie, Qi Lin knew that the mastermind had taken Song Xiaodie to another safer stronghold. This was also the request he made to the mastermind before. .

As Song Xiaodie's replacement, "Cheng Yanqiu", who has completely transformed into a biochemical monster, will participate in this operation.

Of course, the three words Cheng Yanqiu will not appear on the list. There is only a cold number on the list - "F0905".

Lin Que took Qi Lin to an underground conference room. Several people were already sitting on the sofa in the conference room. Lin Que then lost the next sentence, "I'm going to inform Boss Harveys, you and them first." Say hello" and then left.

"Yo? The expert is here." A familiar voice rang, and George, who was sitting in the corner, waved towards Qi Lin.

"Are you the 'expert' that BOSS mentioned? You don't look awesome at all?" The second person who spoke was a muscular man. He was wearing a tight black vest and holding a There was a can of beer, and at his feet were several crushed empty cans.

"Bruce, an American, 20 years old, a free mercenary, a fourth-level evolver, the main direction of evolution: power. When the ability is maximized, he can have the power of a fifth-level evolver. Before the great purge, he was employed by the Blackbird Consortium. Now he is a member of Free Will, alcoholic, lustful, violent, and slightly addicted to drugs."

Information about this strong man flashed through Qi Lin's mind. In terms of close combat ability alone, this Bruce should be the strongest one on the list besides Qi Lin, 0592 and George after transforming into a werewolf. Even Harveys is probably no match for him.

On the sofa opposite Bruce, there was a slender Korean woman. She seemed not to notice Qi Lin's arrival at all. She focused all her attention on the tablet in her hand, and her five slender fingers kept moving. The ground was tapping rapidly on the screen.

"Jiang Shanyan, Korean, female, 30 years old, former deputy director of the organization's information and intelligence department, top hacker, second-level evolver..."

"Welcome!" A black man with dirty braids grinned at Qi Lin, revealing a pair of dazzlingly white teeth... Although Qi Lin, a black man, has always had the problem of face blindness, but this guy has these dazzling white teeth. Qi Lin still recognized the iconic large-area tattoo.

"Akon, a Congolese, 37-year-old, tribal hunter, participated in the Third World War as a guide, and later joined the Beiling Consortium, one of the early members of Free Will, a third-level evolver..."
