Wasteland Code Survival

Chapter 81-Li Family Castle

Qi Lin intends to go to Parsefanie to build a light armor of these extremely ice pythons. Parsefanie once mentioned to him that in addition to providing finished weapons, they also have a lot of skilled craftsmen. The craftsman player also takes over the work of equipment foundry.

After storing these things, Qi Lin set off again to the target Lijia Castle.

Except for the "red" Lijia Castle and the "blue" Ice Python Territory, the rest of the journey is all yellow areas-"yellow" means: there is no permanent or semi-permanent stronghold for human players. But there is also no area where mutant creatures of F level or above are active.

In other words, the highest-level mutant creatures that will appear in this area are only F-level BOSS.

It’s just that Qi Lin did not take it lightly along the way. After all, the map was drawn by the player, and the area of ​​activity of the mutant creature is by no means static. Just like that extreme ice python, he didn’t know what was going on today, and he was far away from him. The territory has entered the area originally marked in yellow.

Qi Lin had two more props in his backpack than when he set off from Thunder City. They were the cold serous sac of the extremely ice python and the serum of the venomous moth emperor.

The cold sac is not large, as long as it is wrapped in thick leather, it is not a big problem to carry it with you. In an emergency, it can be thrown out and used as a "frozen grenade".

With serum, the weight is even lighter, plus it is a valuable item, Qi Lin will naturally choose to carry it with him.

Speaking of serum, as a reward, the serum of the "chameleon" that Bryce handed to Qi Lin was successfully integrated by Qi Lin before he set off, and his special skill has one more: [primary dynamic camouflage] .

Although I don’t know the principle of this skill, as long as Qi Lin’s mind moves, he can refract the light around him and achieve the effect of an old-age optical camouflage - but this skill also has its flaws. Once used, Qi Lin Lin cannot move by itself, and once the movement range is too large, the effect of dynamic camouflage will be flawed.

Looking at it from an outsider's perspective, you will find that the light at the location of the pretender is unnaturally distorted.

Otherwise, as long as Qi Lin activates the dynamic camouflage before passing by, he can avoid unnecessary misunderstandings with the Griffin Hunting Group.

However, according to the instructions on the skills, as long as you upgrade to the intermediate dynamic camouflage, you can perfectly camouflage your tracks while moving at low speeds.

By analogy, as long as the skill level is higher, you can perform larger moves in the camouflage process without being detected.

But then again, camouflage skills are ultimately only visual camouflage. For many mutant creatures, the senses of smell, sound, temperature, vibration, etc. are far more powerful than visual senses, and dynamic camouflage cannot be concealed. Human infrared thermal imaging detector.

In general, this is a very limited skill. It is a magical skill if used well, but in more cases, it can only be regarded as a tasteless skill.

...

The last journey did not hit any powerful mutant creatures. Qi Lin easily approached the outer area of ​​the castle, but when he reached the edge, Qi Lin stopped.

As long as you cross the cake shop on the street corner in front, you will have the Lijia Castle as the core, a large "red area". Just outside the castle, there are hunter players who have witnessed D-class mutant creatures. Therefore, this piece will be classified as a "highly dangerous" area.

D-level bosses are all extremely powerful mutant creatures. Although players can now encircle these D-level mutant creatures after concentrating a large amount of manpower, the price to be paid is too great, so until now So far, neither the virtual trading platform on Zhinao nor the auctions in Thunder City have seen any D-class creature serum or material publicly.

Lijia Castle is an imitation Western-style castle built in the Republic of China. The standard late Renaissance "Baroque" mixed "Gothic" style covers an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters, except for the thick high walls and four corners. Inside the arrow tower, there is even a huge garden and a large forest inside the castle.

Qi Lin ascended an abandoned high-rise building near the castle. From the top, you can see that the interior of the castle is desolate. It is no longer prosperous. The tall and gorgeous main building of the inner castle is like a sleeping behemoth, creeping. In the middle of the castle.

And inside the castle, Qi Lin found at least three E-class mutant creatures and one D-class mutant creature. These powerful beings actually get along peacefully in the castle, which makes Qi Lin feel a little strange. .

Logically speaking, a powerful mutant creature will not be surrounded by other mutant creatures of the same level. After all, "on the side of the couch, no one is allowed to snore." Therefore, on Qi Lin’s hunter map, All blue areas are surrounded by yellow low-risk areas, and few large blue areas are connected together.

Although the space in the castle is not small, compared to the original activity space of the mutant creatures, this distance is almost equal to the neighbor living next door. Whether it is foraging or other daily activities, it is easy to bump into each other. , In terms of the brutal nature of mutant creatures, it is absolutely impossible to live together in peace like this, unless...

Unless, the relationship between these mutant creatures is not hostility, but alliance!

Qi Lin was also a little frightened by his own thoughts about the alliance... The alliance of mutant creatures of different races, if you say it, can be regarded as a big joke... But if these mutant creatures are not "same camp," they How did you live in the castle together?

I don't know why, besides "alliance", another word suddenly popped out of Qi Lin's mind.

"Captive."

Yes, it is in captivity. These powerful mutant creatures seem to have been specially "captive" in such a castle...

"Captive" mutant creatures?

So far, the only large social creature Qi Lin has seen is the group of Assassin burrow spiders, but the problem is that they are the same species anyway, and these mutant creatures, from insects to mammals, span too much. A little bit.

If you want to completely control these creatures, it is not enough to rely on strong strength...If you must say that there is anyone who can do this, then there is only the research institute that represents the highest level of human technology.

However, in the refuge, the research institute has enough space to build such a "laboratory", while in the game, it is even simpler. Create a separate virtual space isolated from ordinary players, or use it completely. The method of data simulation is not guilty of setting up the laboratory in an abandoned city. In this case, there are too many unstable factors.

Based on the above reasons, Qi Lin believes that this old castle of the Li family should not be one of the research bases.

In the game world of "Wasteland", because it is one of the game developers, the existence of the research institute is more similar to an official institution, or a game administrator, who can control the entire game world from the perspective of God, if they need For a "zoo" that breeds mutant creatures, just type a few lines of code, not to mention these E-level and D-level creatures, A-level and S-level creatures can replicate the number of a legion.

For now, the greatest possibility is that there is a branch line of hidden missions in this old castle of Li Family!

And the map and gray card that the two groups of people merged for are likely to be the triggering props of this hidden mission.
