Wasteland Code Survival

Chapter 10 Material Crisis

Although he didn't know the function of this mechanical part, Qi Lin carefully put it away.

Purple quality items are all extremely rare treasures. Just look at the role of the King Corpse Serum—but what Qi Lin doesn’t know is that, like the King Corpse Serum, the chance of causing mutations in the human body and becoming an evolutionary is simply It was too low to die. In the research institute of the refuge, most of the subjects who directly injected the serum of advanced mutant creatures died directly.

Killing the Mutant Fathead Fish and the experience of completing the task made Qi Lin rise to level 3. At the same time, the wisdom brain authority [Task Bounty Platform] was opened. Qi Lin glanced at it, and as expected, the most conspicuous task was the one offering a reward, but this The amount of bounty, if possible, he wants to kill himself to get it, anyway, buying a resurrection opportunity only needs 10,000 resource points, and the bounty is accumulated to more than 20,000.

After packing up the equipment, and saying goodbye to the one-armed zombies, Qi Lin returned to the off-road vehicle and found a safe and hidden place to get off the assembly line.

The main brain of the refuge stipulates that everyone must be active in the game for more than 10 hours a day, and the rest of the time is allocated by themselves, or through work as usual to earn resource points outside the quota. Qi Lin until now, the game time It happens to be ten hours and four minutes.

When offline, you must be in a non-combat state, otherwise Qi Lin at the gas station can use "offline escape" to avoid the edge first.After offline, the backpack and personal equipment will disappear with the character, but the vehicle will stay in place, and the player can only take the vehicle's activation key.

Therefore, Qi Lin pulled out a large piece of canvas used as a cushion in the off-road vehicle, covered it on the body, and evenly smeared it with loess. This way, from a distance, it looked like a stone. .

After doing all this, he called out the virtual control panel in the game and chose "Leave Game".

...

Sitting up from the game cabin, Qi Lin didn’t feel any discomfort other than feeling a little dizzy in his head. It seems that even the lowest-end game cabins distributed in the slums use fully immersive technology. It seems, The top management and mastermind of the refuge should have had this plan long ago.

Looking at the game pod next to him, Xiao Lei was still immersed in the game world, Qi Lin moved his hands and feet, planning to go to the black market first.

The structure of the slum of the underground refuge is countless maze-like tunnels. Small rooms are opened on both sides of the tunnels to live in. The oxygen in the rooms is all rationed by the main brain. However, the air quality outside the rooms is very poor.

Turbidity, foul smell, low oxygen concentration, and many harmful gases are mixed. Anyone who wants to leave his room must wear a breathing mask.

Qi Lin lived in this "Room F37 of Refuge No. 187" three years ago, while Xiao Lei was a "roommate" who moved in half a year ago. According to the person who brought Xiao Lei, Xiao Lei's parents are both "Excavator" died in an underground tunnel collapse accident. After the accident, the residence of Xiao Lei's family in the middle area was taken back by the company, and he was randomly thrown here to Qi Lin.

Digging workers are among the residents of the middle area. The work is relatively heavy, but relatively well paid. Their job is to open up new spaces underground, provide shelter for the increasing population, and find Mineral resources buried underground.

In recent years, since areas with relatively stable underground structures have basically been excavated, the upper level of the refuge has set the direction of excavation in areas with soft soil but deeper depth. Although these areas are highly dangerous to excavate, The chance of discovering the most precious resource-groundwater is also higher.

Xiao Lei’s parents were buried in a dark abyss more than 2,000 meters above the ground due to the bending and breaking of a supporting steel pillar, and the only sixteen-year-old left behind them child,

This is one of the reasons why Xiao Lei hates the rich so much.

This situation is not uncommon in this underworld where the weak and the strong. Such things happen almost every day... However, under Qi Lin's persuasion, Xiao Lei did not join an uprising organization that came to solicit him after hearing the news, but other Those parents also died there, and all the children who were deprived of everything joined in.

A week later, the plan of the uprising was revealed. The bodies of the children were hung on the wooden frame at the intersection of the tunnel, making the air quality in the tunnel worse.

"How do you know that the uprising will fail?"

Xiao Lei asked Qi Lin more than once, but Qi Lin could only smile and said that it was luck. He didn't know how to talk to this kind of sixteen-year-old child with blood in his head, behind the uprising. Pushing hands is the mining company where his parents worked.

Using the method of "creating an uprising" to eliminate instability factors is almost the same as the "fishing holding X" before the end of the world.

...

After bypassing the intersection of a few corpses with only white bones left, Qi Lin walked to a three-meter-high airtight door and knocked on the door panel.

With a sound of "Kala", a small window opened on one wall with a dirty display inside. After Qi Lin entered a few numbers, the airtight door opened slowly.

This is to pay the entrance fee to the black market. If it weren't for this restriction, the entire underground black market would be full of beggars who came to "rub oxygen".

After passing through two air-tight doors, Qi Lin suddenly opened his eyes. A brightly lit underground square appeared in front of him, and his ears were full of shouts and bargaining sounds.

"Take it, this is your ticket. You must leave after the time. You know the rules." An old janitor with a hunch back stuffed an irregular piece of paper into Qi Lin's hand, twisting it crookedly The charcoal pen reads "10 resource points, 19.50."

Below these words is an anti-counterfeiting stamp stamped out with a steel stamp.

In the black market, five resource points must be paid to the controller of the black market in one hour, which means that Qi Lin must leave before 21:50.

"I don't know if I can find something good today..."

Qi Lin strolled to a stall in the square from the entrance, where all the common gun parts that were abandoned before or after the end of the world were sold.

These things, which are absolutely prohibited items, can be bought and sold in this black market. They are even one of the most insignificant commodities. It can be seen that the controller of this black market is definitely a very terrifying bigwig. character.

But this has nothing to do with Qi Lin. His most important purpose in coming to the black market is to find some parts that can be used, and then use his extraordinary ability to understand firearms to assemble some finished firearms and resell them. Weapon shop in the black market.

He never sells weapons directly to the insurgents. This is just to be on the safe side. Although the price of the weapons shop owner is slightly lower, since the firearms he made became famous, the price of these weapons shop owners will not be lower. Where to go.

The guns produced by "Front sight" are all good guns. This is a fact recognized by Vault 187 and even several nearby refuges, and this "front sight" is Qi Lin's own trademark.

The firearms he makes always use a cross and a circle to depict a simple crosshair icon on the grip. This is Qi Lin’s habit. When he used to be a precision shooter in the mercenary army, every gun he modified was also All have this crosshair pattern.

Although this sign will be tracked by the refuge administrator when it appears in the weapons of the insurgent troops, the general clues will be cut off when they reach the black market. This is one of the reasons why he never sells weapons directly to users.

One more middleman means more security.

Just as Qi Lin was squatting in front of the booth and selecting parts, he suddenly heard a few people shopping on the side suddenly say: "I heard that the material warehouse in Vault 188 was burned by the insurgents. The whole refuge They are all in a material crisis, and are planning to transfer things from us."

"Why? Let them starve to death!"

...

Qi Lin's movement of flipping through the parts in his hand did not stop, but he was a little puzzled in his heart, burning the materials?This is indeed a stupid idea, but in this way, I am afraid that something will really happen...
