Chapter 940 No Response
"This is the last inventory." Qi Lin said and took out a few more pill-like solidified milk powder tablets, threw them into the pot, and stirred them together with the melted chocolate.
"Even if we all die tomorrow, if we can enjoy a moment in the last days of our lives, we have already earned it." George had already eagerly scooped up a spoonful of hot cocoa from the pot, brought it to the corner of his mouth and blew it gently. .
"By the way, I still don't know your name yet... But I think I'm probably the only one among the people here who doesn't know your true identity? Of course, if you don't Just tell me conveniently, then forget it..." Harveys suddenly said to Qilin.
Although George and 0592 have not mentioned it explicitly, judging from the tacit understanding and trust they have shown with Qi Lin, it is basically certain that they are old acquaintances. As for other people, they are completely "keep away from strangers". Not to mention Lingkui, who was the only one who was particularly close to Qi Lin.
Harveys was not a fool. Before entering the underwater prison, he vaguely felt that the people in the team were divided into two groups - those who knew the "expert" who had landed in the air and those who did not.
However, among the people who survived now, he was the only one who was still in the first category.
He was still wary of Qi Lin at first, but after coming out of the underwater prison, especially after Qi Lin told him about the incident, the wariness in his heart began to slowly melt away - at least, In Harveys' view, Qi Lin can definitely be regarded as a reliable captain.
"Oh? You want to know my true identity?" Qi Lin thought for a moment. Everyone else had already died, and Harveys was Qin's confidant. He was already on the list and belonged to the trustworthy category, so he might as well Without saying much, he tore off the mask on his face, revealing his original appearance.
Seeing this familiar face, Harveys was stunned for a moment, and then said in a voiceless voice: "You... are you that Qi Lin?"
"If the Qi Lin you are talking about is 'that Qi Lin' who is wanted by the organization and the Revolutionary Alliance, then it should be me." Qi Lin said with a smile.
"No wonder... no wonder..." Harveys smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I really didn't expect you to participate in this operation..."
As a confidant of Qin, Harveys knew a lot of information about Qi Lin. However, since Qi Lin returned to the surface through the sixth area, even Qin knew very little information about him, let alone his subordinate. Yes.
"There's just one thing I don't quite understand. Who is that 'BOSS'... The energy he can mobilize is so terrifying that he can even invite you out... Forget it, I know this problem. You will definitely not answer me... To be honest, I thought it was the mastermind at first, but now the mastermind has openly stood against us..."
Regarding the existence of the second mastermind, Qin did not reveal too much to his subordinates. The only thing Harveys knew was that Qin had maintained contact with the mastermind for a period of time and advocated resolving the dispute between humans and the mastermind through non-war means. However, the mastermind played a vital role in the fall of District 6... In Harveys' eyes, Qin should have "broke down" with the mastermind before, and then he was brutally manipulated by the mastermind behind his back. A hard stab.
"I think you will know about this in the future, of course... provided you can survive until then." Qi Lin also scooped out a small cup of hot cocoa with a spoon, but his lips had not yet touched it. On the edge of the cup, the cup containing hot cocoa was snatched away by Ayakui sitting in his arms.
The latter drank most of the hot cocoa in the cup in one gulp, and then the cup floated back to Qi Lin's hand.
"Don't you like chocolate?" Qi Lin asked in surprise.
"I just don't like dark chocolate that is too bitter." Lingkui replied, and at the same time changed into a more comfortable position in Qi Lin's arms, closed her eyes, and under the light of the emergency lighting, her long hair The eyelashes cast a delicate shadow on the fair face.
Ayakui is indeed an almost perfect beautiful girl... but it is difficult for everyone who has dealt with her to covet her... There is no other reason, just that Ayakui's combat power is too terrifying .
She is not an exquisite and beautiful vase. In terms of actual combat ability, she may be stronger than the werewolf George who is a fifth-level evolver. As for the role she played in this rescue operation, she has even surpassed it to a certain extent. Got Qi Lin...
But now, Lingkui is sleeping in Qi Lin's arms like a good baby, which makes Harveys and George look at Qi Lin with a strange color.
"Sure enough... this little witch can only be conquered by a guy like Qi Lin..." This came from George's inner thoughts, but he also knew that Lingkui had the ability to read minds, so this thought just passed through his mind. , and soon he focused on the hot cocoa left in the pot.
As for Harveys, he took out a set of manual surveying tools and began to draw on the map. This was not the first time he set foot on the land of Alaska. In the early days of World War III, he was employed by the PROM Foundation. Harveys was stationed at the North American Joint Military Base at Fort Yukon for almost half a year. It was not until the war on the Western Front in Asia became tense that he was transferred to the Middle East.
The Alaska region once had one of the largest military bases in the United States, and was also the frontline of the confrontation between the United States and the Russian Federation. More than 1.5 million American soldiers were once stationed on this land, a number that already accounted for 10% of the entire U.S. military strength. One-third, plus the Canadian army, which adds up to almost 200,000 people, it is not an exaggeration to call this place a super barracks.
And it is precisely for this reason that the enemy's nuclear weapons focus here. Buried under the thick snow, large and small craters can be seen everywhere, and the number of heavily irradiated areas is even more numerous.
Relying on his memory, Harveys marked the coordinates of the military bases in the old days and the shelters built underground in Alaska on the map. On the way to Anchorage, it was best for them to avoid these places - —Because this kind of place either contains deadly radiation or has traces of human activities.
Although the number of underground shelters in Alaska is not as large as that in China, it is at least double digits. In addition to local residents and refugees from Canada, the people living in these shelters are mostly those who were originally Joint force soldiers stationed in Alaska.
After the war, the consortium under the organization took over the control of the refuge in this area from the US government. In other words, this place... is still within the organization's sphere of influence.
And their biggest trouble... is the destination of this trip - the largest city in Alaska: Anchorage.
During World War III, Alaska's largest city had been completely transformed into a military fortress, and the city suffered the most intensive bombings and nuclear strikes in the entire Alaska... Although Anchorage Its own defense capabilities are also very strong, but in the face of countless bombs, the city was eventually reduced to ruins.
Unlike Victoria Harbor, which was directly razed to the ground, most of the nuclear strikes in Anchorage were dirty bombs with less direct destructive capabilities. The ruins of the city were relatively intact, but the radiation in the city was not at all. No lower than Victoria Port, and on the map, their destination is in a dark red area...
This is a symbol of a heavily irradiated area. In this place, even if an evolved person like Harveys takes the maximum effective dose of anti-radiation, it will be difficult to move around there for more than twelve hours... As for protective clothing, Things, they simply don't have.
This is also the biggest reason why Harveys questioned why there was no response - just for a few of them, even if they are not pursued by the organization and the mastermind, it is still very difficult to safely penetrate into this heavily irradiated area.
Coupled with Qin's poor physical condition... Harveys really didn't understand why such a mysterious "BOSS" would choose such a place as the location of a safe stronghold.
"Qi Lin... I know you have the ability to be immune to radiation, but we... including Qin, none of us have that ability, so I am confused, how can we enter after we cross the Alaska Mountains? In the urban area of Anchorage - according to the marks on the map, the security stronghold seems to be in the center of Anchorage."
"I don't know either. Judging from the current situation, I have to make a trip first to check out the safe stronghold. Maybe there are protective clothing and other things in the stronghold."
"...It seems that this is the only way. Fortunately, the radius of the radiation zone is not exaggerated. At your speed, a round trip of half a day should be enough."
"Qi Lin, have you really not received any reminder from 'BOSS'? I think judging from the 'BOSS''s behavior, we should not waste time on such meaningless things - You see, we were trapped in the underwater prison, and we immediately had ground-penetrating bombs to help us force a way out. And when we were trudging on the bottom of the sea, the 'BOSS' sent a small submarine to rescue us...No Reason... There is no reason for 'BOSS' to abandon us when we are about to reach the end? Maybe the protective suits are hidden somewhere on the edge of the radiation zone? If you recall again... will you miss it? Got some information?”
"No...I didn't miss anything." Qi Lin shook his head with certainty. In the past, he would have really doubted whether he had forgotten some important information, but since he has the spiritual system After gaining the ability, Qi Lin's memory can be used to act with words such as "one eye and ten lines" and "photographic memory". It is absolutely impossible to forget such important information.
"Actually, I'm also a little curious... With the ability of the 'BOSS', it's just a piece of cake to place a few protective suits outside the radiation zone. Why do we have to take that unnecessary risk?"
"Maybe... there is some unexpected situation?" Qi Lin said perfunctorily. He didn't know much about the situation of the second master brain, but one thing that is certain is that the master brain has always had absolute dominance. In the hands of the first mastermind, although the second mastermind has certain authority, it is very limited and is restricted by the first mastermind in every way... Although the second mastermind can often provide vital help to Qi Lin, Qi Lin Lin has always known in his heart that he must not rely too much on the second mastermind, because this kind of help... is not stable.
"You must know something about that 'BOSS'..." Harveys had already seen a lot from Qi Lin's expression, "It seems that the mysterious 'BOSS' is not like us. I imagine it is so omnipotent.”
"Yes, in fact, he himself cannot protect himself. The fact that he can help us to this extent has exceeded my expectations." Qi Lin couldn't help but think of the super earth-penetrating bomb shot from the abandoned nuclear submarine. This thing made The movement was too great... Moreover, this thing was definitely not something that survivors like them who had escaped from the underground shelter could possess, and they did not have the ability to repair the missile launch bay of the nuclear submarine...
Moreover, after the undersea prison was exploded, the communication between Qi Lin and the second mastermind has been interrupted until now...
With the thinking ability of the master brain, it is not difficult to associate this series of events with the second master brain. These two super AIs, which are originally from the same origin, are probably completely on opposite sides at this moment.
If the second mastermind is restrained by the first mastermind, the help that can be provided to Qi Lin and the others will indeed become extremely limited, or even... if the situation is worse, the second mastermind must cut off the relationship with Qi Lin and the others. All connections, otherwise if the first mastermind were to follow the clues and find them, it would be completely ruined.
"What about the 'Noah's Ark' stronghold? If the 'BOSS' cannot protect himself, then wouldn't the 'Noah's Ark' stronghold be..." Before George could finish his words, he was interrupted by Harveys: "The 'Noah's Ark' stronghold is just a bait that can be discarded at any time. Whether it is us or the 'BOSS', the goal from the beginning is just to rescue Qin. As for that stronghold and the people in the stronghold, People can be abandoned at any time... If they can help us divert the attention of the main brain and part of the organization, the role of the Noah's Ark stronghold has been achieved."
"But there are still so many people in the stronghold..." George swallowed his saliva and said with some reluctance.
"Are there not many people who died in the organization's purge? This is a war... We cannot avoid sacrifice. What we can do is to win it as much as possible..." Harveys said in a low voice .
