Chapter 946 Catching the Tongue
There are very few soldiers who come to the bar to drink alone. Most of them are in groups, and many of them even bring women with them. In this military base, female slaves want to be successful by doing those chores. It was very difficult to fill their stomachs with the meager supplies they obtained, so the younger women thought of another way to obtain food—exchanging their bodies.
The soldiers at the base will not pay these women direct cash. The reward they can get is to go to the bar with the soldiers who fancy them to drink some inferior alcoholic drinks and eat some cheap snacks...that's all. That’s all.
There are not many women in this militarized fortress, and the male soldiers in the base are all in their prime. Almost every soldier who goes in and out of the bar is accompanied by at least one or two women. Qi Lin even saw one A pot-bellied non-commissioned officer put his arm around a woman's shoulders, followed by seven or eight others...
Qi Lin waited for half an hour before finally waiting for a lone soldier to walk out of the side door of the bar carrying a wine bottle. While there was no one around, with a thought, a soldier was picked up by him from his mental power. The bloodthirsty rat he controlled immediately made a series of sharp "squeaking" sounds.
The unique cry of the bloodthirsty rat alerted even the lone soldier. This kind of low-level mutated creatures are extremely common in every corner of the wasteland, although their combat power is not enough for any adult man. It's not much of a threat, but if you are attacked by a bloodthirsty rat unprepared, especially if you are bitten in critical places such as the carotid artery and throat, the consequences will be quite troublesome... plus the saliva of the bloodthirsty rat. With all kinds of germs and viruses inside, this little guy has been listed as one of the "four new pests" in the wasteland.
"Damn rats! Are all the slaves responsible for hunting for food..." The soldier subconsciously covered his neck with his hands and looked towards the creaking dark alley. However, when he When his eyes fell on the alley, he couldn't move away anymore!
On the ground at the entrance of the alley, there was actually a necklace that seemed to be made of gold! Although the surface of the necklace was stained with a lot of mud, the soldier could be sure that it was genuine gold just from the glint of gold shining out from under the mud!
Jewelry does not have much practical significance in the wasteland, but the precious metals used to make jewelry are different. For example, gold is not only a hard currency circulating in human society, but also an extremely scarce industrial raw material. If such a gold necklace is handed over to the material recycling department, it can definitely be exchanged for a hundred... ...No, at least two hundred "golden chimneys" can be exchanged!
I don’t know who dropped the treasure here, and thanked that damn mouse for letting me notice a windfall on the ground... The soldier’s original gloomy mood was swept away, and he looked around cautiously. After making sure that no one noticed him and the gold necklace, he walked quietly towards the dark alley.
Just when the soldier was less than three steps away from the gold necklace, a thin bloodthirsty rat suddenly jumped out of the darkness, picked up the gold necklace and ran into the alley!
"Fuck! This damn rat!"
The soldier was so anxious that he didn't care about the danger of being bitten by the bloodthirsty rat, and chased him directly into the alley——
"Whoosh——"
An ink-colored dart needle accurately pierced the back of its neck. The soldier's running movements suddenly slowed down. After taking a few steps, his body softened and he fell to the ground.
Qi Lin, who was hiding in the corner, put away his blowpipe, dragged the soldier's leg and pulled him into the shadows.
Qi Lin tied up the soldier tightly and blocked his mouth with something. Qi Lin did not inject him with the antidote immediately, but took out all the contents of his pocket——
A folder contained a pass with a magnetic card, a military certificate with an artificial leather cover, several rounds of nine-millimeter Parabellum pistol bullets, an imitation Swiss Army knife with a shell that had fallen off, and a dozen coins.
Qi Lin first opened the soldier's military registration certificate. On the first page of the certificate, there was a emblem similar to that of the Revolutionary League - this was the new emblem adopted after the organization and the Revolutionary League merged, but this emblem appeared The time is earlier than the Revolutionary League, and even the rusty armor plate on the outer wall of the Yukon Fort base has such an emblem.
This is the emblem representing the forces under the Mastermind, and this Fort Yukon base was secretly built by the Mastermind after the outbreak of the nuclear war. However, after the Mastermind took control of the Revolutionary Alliance, the human army was able to enter it. Now, the organization and revolution The three major forces of Lianhe Mastermind have been completely integrated, and more than 99.99% of the actual control of the entire human society has fallen into the hands of the Mastermind. This emblem has naturally become a symbol of the new forces after the integration.
This soldier is called Scott. He is an American and was once a sergeant. He successfully passed the selection four months ago and was transferred from the underground defense zone on the west coast of the United States to the Fort Yukon base...but at Fort Yukon. In the base, his military rank changed to the lowest level of private.
The troops stationed at the Fort Yukon base are divided into three parts-the outer city army, the inner city army and the mobile force. Scott belongs to the sixth patrol battalion of the outer city army. As for other things, Qi Lin cannot use a book. You can find out on the certificate.
As for the dozen coins... they were not products of the old era. This time, there was a brand new currency that Qi Lin had never seen before. It was divided into three grades of gold, silver and copper. Of course, they were just similar in color. Naturally, these coins were not the same. Precious metals such as gold and silver may have been used. The golden coin is plated with a special proportion of copper-zinc alloy, commonly known as brass. One side of the coin is the emblem of the new force, and the other side is a towering chimney.
The silver coin is plated with nickel, and the obverse pattern is a kite-shaped shield. Although the copper coin does contain pure copper, the content is very low. The pattern on the coin is a Corinthian helmet commonly used by the ancient Roman army.
This kind of coins is cast by the smelting plant at the Fort Yukon base and can only be circulated in the base and shelters in Alaska. People who use them often call them "gold chimneys" and "silver chimneys". Shield" and "Bronze Helmet".
The exchange ratio of the three currencies is one to ten, and the purchasing power of a "bronze helmet" is equivalent to about twenty to thirty resource points.
After stuffing all these things into his pocket, Qi Lin took out the injection containing the antidote and pierced it into the muscle of Scott's arm.
"Uh...uh uh..."
Scott was not in a coma. The anesthetic drug could only put the body into anesthesia, but during this process, Scott's brain remained awake. When the feeling of being unable to move faded away, Scott immediately started struggling violently...
However, the struggle only lasted less than a second, because Qi Lin had already put an extremely sharp knife against his throat. The sharp blade had even sunk into his skin, and a drop of blood was drawn along his throat. The smooth blade surface slides all the way to the connection between the blade and the grip.
Scott's eyes were wide open, staring at the masked hijacker in front of him with great horror, and his head... was almost blank.
This kind of thing has never happened in the Fort Yukon base. Scott has no idea where the guy in front of him came from... He even suspected that he might have been hijacked by his own people. After all, The other party took away all the money in his pocket, and outsiders definitely don't need those things... Besides, how could outsiders sneak into this heavily guarded base!
"Don't shout, or I will cut your throat, do you understand?" Qi Lin threatened in a low voice. The blade in his hand sank into Scott's neck for another half millimeter, and large blood drops continued to flow from the wound. It squeezed up and rolled along the handle of the knife to the ground.
Scott blinked his eyelids twice quickly to show that he understood, and then Qi Lin pulled off the cloth stuffed in his mouth.
"Brother... I only have so much money... If you want more... I can go back to the dormitory and give it to you. I still have it under my bed... Don't kill me... Kill me. You It will definitely cause a lot of trouble, which is not cost-effective at all..."
As soon as he regained the ability to speak, Sterk began to plead in a low voice. It was obvious that he regarded Qi Lin as "one of his own".
But what makes Scott extremely puzzled is... theft and robbery are absolutely strictly prohibited in the base. Once caught, one hundred percent will be executed. If you are unlucky, you will be sent to the laboratory below. Why Would this guy in front of me still take such desperate risks? Could it be...a severely addicted drug addict? That's not right... If you have a history of drug abuse, you won't be able to come here through selection...
"Shut up, I'll ask and you answer, do you understand?" Qi Lin impatiently patted Scott's cheek with his other hand.
"oh oh……"
"What's underneath this base?"
"Underground... you, you are not from the base?!" Steck was stunned when he heard Qi Lin ask such a question.
"Don't ask nonsense questions. If you don't want to die, just answer it properly!"
"The ground, the underground is...is...a laboratory..."
"Laboratory? What laboratory?"
"I, I don't know... don't, don't kill me... I really don't know..."
"Don't know at all?"
"...I, I only know...as long as you are sent to the underground laboratory...whether it's a prisoner, a slave...or a monster captured from the outside...you go in...you never come out...don't I really don’t know at all..." Scott said tremblingly.
"..." After two seconds of silence, Qi Lin continued to ask, "Then let me ask you, did you see two prisoners in the past two days? One was a tall young man wearing black cold-proof clothing who was in a coma. One is a beautiful little girl about fourteen years old with short hair and very fair skin. Have you ever seen these two people in the base?"
"...N-never seen..."
"Then there's no use keeping you..." With that said, Qi Lin was about to take action, which frightened Scott into struggling desperately.
"Wait! Wait! I've seen it! I've seen these two people!"
"See you? Then where are they?"
"They... they were brought in by a helicopter... later... later it seemed that they were sent to the laboratory..."
"Where is the entrance to the underground laboratory?" Qi Lin continued to ask.
"I really don't know this...please...don't kill me...I promise I won't say anything...I swear..."
Qi Lin glanced at Scott and couldn't help but lament that the guy he captured had too low authority and knew nothing about many things. It seemed that he should probably arrest an officer and ask...
"Where are the officers' quarters?"
"That...over there. Go through passage No. 16, turn left and go to the end, which is the dormitory for mid-level officers of the Outer City Army."
Scott pointed in a direction, but as soon as he finished speaking, Qi Lin simply cut his throat.
Sprinkling a handful of styptic powder on Sterk's wound to prevent the overly strong smell of blood from attracting the curiosity of the passing soldiers, Qi Lin put on Scott's uniform and walked directly out of the dark alley, heading towards He walked towards the officer's dormitory.
Although it was rest time, there were still many patrolling soldiers on the road, and there were sentries at each intersection that required swiping cards to pass. Fortunately, it was dark, and Qi Lin lowered his helmet, so he was able to use Scooter. Te's pass passed the four checkpoints smoothly and arrived at the barracks area of the outer city army.
There is still a final checkpoint between the ordinary soldiers' barracks and the officers' dormitory area, but Scott's pass authority cannot get through. Qi Lin had to take advantage of the gap where the searchlight beam swept past, and directly leaned against the fifth-level evolver. That abnormal physical ability jumped over the four-meter-high wall with a high-voltage power grid hanging on the surface, and entered the officer's dormitory area.
Unlike soldiers and lower-level officers, officers above the rank of lieutenant have independent single-person dormitories, which naturally creates a very favorable condition for Qi Lin.
At this time, the lights in most of the officer dormitories are dim. The officers living in these dormitories are either on duty or relaxing in bars and other entertainment venues. Only a handful of dormitory windows are lit.
Qi Lin randomly selected a bright window on the third floor, climbed up along the wall, stood outside the window, and looked into the dormitory.
I saw a young girl with dark skin and naked body being pressed on a single bed by a middle-aged officer. The officer's clothes had been stripped to pieces, and the "spear" below was raised high. , obviously preparing to stab it in for a "charge".
At this moment, a pitch-black dart needle penetrated the glass window, flew in from the outside, and pierced the officer's naked back...
