Chapter 926 Other Survivors
Although it has undergone explosive changes that violated the laws of China in the old era, the engine used by this motorcycle is still an internal combustion engine that requires fossil fuels as energy. Even if Qi Lin's energy-gathering vortex can output enough power, there is no way to convert it into The power that can make the internal combustion engine work again, without gasoline, this is just a display that looks okay.
Pushing the motorcycle into the corner, Qi Lin dragged a large piece of faded fiberboard billboard from the ground to cover the body, and then got out through the crack above his head.
According to the image of the city sent back by the main brain drone, there should be several gas stations nearby. Except for one of which was directly wiped off the map by the aerial bomb, leaving a large pit with a radius of more than 200 meters, the others The gas stations should be relatively well preserved, but it is not known whether there is any gasoline left in the oil tanks buried underground in these gas stations—this information cannot be detected by drones.
This location is almost the internal transportation hub of the city. Dozens of roads converge here, including two expressways and ten urban arterial roads. In addition, there are a large number of overpasses and railway viaducts. For this reason, those gas stations are concentrated in this area.
A large number of corroded car wrecks piled up on the abandoned and cracked asphalt road. The collapsed reinforced concrete bridge lay across the middle of the road. Countless cement blocks peeled off from the incomplete bridge piers and scattered on the ground. Qi Lin could even see A car with only an outer frame left is hung on a steel bar tens of meters above the ground. Whenever the wind blows, the wreckage of the car will shake, giving people a feeling of Feeling like it's about to fall from the top of your head at any moment.
Bypassing a broken overpass, Qi Lin crossed two completely deformed railroad tracks, and a dilapidated gas station finally appeared in his field of vision.
The iconic dome of the gas station has collapsed, and the yellow and red shell logo can be vaguely seen from the gray ruins. Most of the gas pumps have been crushed by the dome, only two near the edge The tanker was in the "safety triangle" and was preserved.
Qi Lin took off the refueling gun from the machine, but the gas station had long been cut off, no matter how much he pressed the trigger, not a single drop of gasoline flowed out of the gun.
"...Fortunately, we were prepared."
Qi Lin hung the refueling gun back to its original place, took off the assault rifle behind him, smashed the display screen of the refueling machine with the butt of the gun, and stretched out his hand to pull out the control chip inside.
Take out the nuclear energy battery block, adjust the voltage to the appropriate gear for the tanker, then cut off the lead of the fuel tanker’s own battery, and clamp the electric pliers connected to the nuclear energy battery block—soon, that piece is covered with dust All the indicator lights and diodes on the chip began to flash one by one.
If this gas station is still in normal operation, it is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous behavior, and the electric sparks directly exposed to the outside are likely to ignite the mixture of oil and gas in the air... But now the entire gas station is even It was hard to smell the smell of gasoline, and Qi Lin even suspected that even if he lit a bonfire here, nothing would happen.
The refueling machine that was powered on resumed its working capacity, but there was still no drop of fuel coming out of the refueling gun—obviously, the underground fuel tank of this gas station was already empty.
When the war breaks out and the social order is out of control, in addition to looting food and other necessities of life, the priority and importance of fuel will also not be lowered. Almost every family has a car as a means of transportation. , even if you don’t have one, you can just rob or steal it... All in all, it’s not easy to get a car in the city during the chaotic war, and the cost is almost zero. Consider the issue of fuel.
Even those crazy rioters clearly understand that it is not safe to stay in such a big city. Due to the nuclear bundling strategy, after the key strategic targets are destroyed, the second round of nuclear strikes will come to these populations In the densely populated cities, the best way to survive is to escape to the inaccessible Northwest region, where the land is sparsely populated, and apart from some military bases and industrial areas, there are basically no targets worth attacking. It is impossible to waste nuclear warheads on the wasteland and the Gobi Desert extravagantly. If you can escape to that kind of place, at least you don’t have to be buried with those once extremely prosperous big cities.
However, if you want to escape to the northwest region across half of the Chinese border, you need to consume a lot of fuel. In order to obtain fuel, the first goal must be to target those gas stations with large underground oil storage tanks.
The shells of these tankers all had marks of varying degrees of smashing, a large number of broken fuel cards scattered on the ground, and several corpses that had obviously been violently treated in the distance proved that this gas station had suffered After being ransacked by thugs, since this place has been looted, the situation of the other gas stations will not be any better.
There must still be enough gasoline in the abandoned city, but where the gasoline will be stored is a problem, and Qi Lin has no time to check the ruins one by one. As for the car wreckage on the road, the gasoline in the fuel tank It is estimated that it has evaporated completely.
Just when Qi Lin was worrying about gasoline, a muffled gunshot suddenly came from a distance——
"Gun? Is it human?"
Qi Lin immediately raised his vigilance, quickly found a cover, and then looked in the direction of the gunshots.
The sound of the gun was very low. It should be a large-caliber full-power gun equipped with a silencer. It was fired in a single shot, mixed with the howls of some mutated creatures. It was very difficult to distinguish. Judging by the size of the sound, the opponent should be 400 meters away from him. Mi Yuan's appearance.
The options of the living dead and the survivors left before the war can basically be ruled out, and the early eliminated who were exiled to the surface by the mastermind can also be ignored. Let’s not talk about whether these types of people can survive in the abandoned city full of murderous threats. Just the kind of firearms that use large-caliber full-power bullets are not within their reach.
Since the opponent only fired one shot, Qi Lin couldn't be sure whether the opponent was using a large-caliber assault rifle or an anti-material sniper rifle from the old era. If it was the former, then the identity of the opponent was more worthy of scrutiny.
Was it the dispatch team that failed to return to the underground shelter due to mission failure or some other reason?Or the deserters who escaped from the battlefield during the previous Jiange Fortress battle?Or were there survivors who were not sheltered by free will during this great purge?
The above guesses are all possible, but one thing is certain is that the opponent is holding a weapon, and it is a large-caliber gun that can pose a fatal threat to the evolutionary. Qi Lin thinks it is better to be cautious.
But no matter what, Qi Lin still intends to get in touch with the other party. After all, it is too abnormal for human traces to appear in this area, and what if the other party has gasoline in his hand?
More than 20 seconds after the first gunshot, the second gunshot rang out again. Compared with the last shot, the shooting position was more than 100 meters away from Qi Lin... This should be at Chasing a prey, or being chased by a predator.
The possibility of the latter situation is relatively small. There is no sign of high-level mutant creatures in this area, and the general large-caliber gunpowder firearms of E-level and F-level mutant creatures are enough to deal with it. There is no need to be chased and flee, so the opponent should be Just go hunting.
I just don't know how many of them there are - from the beginning to the end, there is only the sound of a gun.
Under the cover of the wreckage of the car, Qi Lin bent his waist, silently and quickly moved towards the direction of the gunshots...
……
……
"... from the organization? The gendarme?"
A pile of bonfires wrapped in an iron cover full of ventilation holes came into Qi Lin's sight. Four men in the uniform of the organized gendarmerie were sitting around the bonfire, their weapons were leaning against the stones beside them. Two other people were using a dagger to deal with a mutant creature that was slightly smaller than a bison. The hind half of this mutant creature was almost completely shattered by a large-caliber full-power bullet, and blood flowed all over the ground. The large-caliber assault rifle that fired the bullet was on the back of one of them.
Although Qi Lin recognized the gendarmerie uniforms on their bodies, but because the armbands on their shoulders were torn off, Qi Lin could not be sure of their identities... Maybe the uniforms did not belong to them.
Qi Lin's hiding place was more than 20 meters away from these people. With his hearing, he could easily hear the conversation between those people.
"Fourth, go get some sand to cover the blood on the ground. If there is such a strong smell of blood, it will be troublesome if you attract other monsters!" This is a voice with a strong Russian accent, although the words are Not very accurate but very fluent in Chinese, it seems that he should have lived in China for a long time.
"Can there be any monsters? We have been searching this area for so long, have you seen such a thing? Besides, where do you want me to get you sand in this place?" The voice came from that A man with a large-caliber assault rifle on his back, skinning prey with a dagger.
"Okay, okay, you guys have to be quick, I'll go to the side to watch out for you." The Maozi took out a very worn metal wine jug from his pocket, took a sip carefully, and smacked it mouth, picked up the gun on the side, and walked towards the periphery.
The weapon he used was a [-]mm caliber PDW. This type of submachine gun is the standard equipment for organizing military police forces. If they hadn’t obtained a batch of complete military police equipment, then there should be no doubt about the identity of this group of people. .
It's just... why did the organization's military police appear here?
To explore the surface, which is a tedious and tiring job with a high risk factor, the military police will definitely not be sent out. Those dispatched teams are basically staffed by specially trained members of the special forces. As for the Jiange Fortress battle, In Qi Lin's impression, the military police accounted for only a very small part of the organization's troops, and they rarely sent military police to the battlefield outside the fortress. Their main task was to maintain the interior of the fortress. Even the "law enforcement teams" of the front-line troops are in charge of some low-level officers, and they have nothing to do.
Could this group of people be deserters from that war?Qi Lin couldn't be sure...and, most importantly, he didn't know if they had any more companions.
With Qi Lin's ability, even if he wants to kill these organizational gendarmes, even if they are all third- and fourth-level evolutionaries, there must be no problem, but if the other party has other companions, then Qi Lin's whereabouts will inevitably Being exposed... The identity of the other party is still unclear. If they have any connection with the organization, the Revolutionary Union, or even the mastermind, Qi Lin's exposure of his whereabouts at this time will undoubtedly make the next rescue operation slide into the abyss of failure ahead of schedule. .
Now, he is already a "dead man" no matter which faction's records he is in. Even free will and those new teammates who are about to reunite with him, except for a few of them, most of them are not dead. Knowing their identities, they only know that they are a freelance mercenary recruited by the "boss" and an "expert" in dealing with this matter.
Yes... "Boss", although the free will has been taken over by the master brain, they still don't know the true identity of the master brain. Inside the free will, the word "boss" has always been used to refer to the first person hidden behind the scenes. Two masterminds.
Of course, those few people who knew Qi Lin's real identity also received a separate warning from the "boss" in advance, not to disclose any information related to Qi Lin to anyone.
This rescue operation is very important, and Qi Lin doesn't want the operation to fail because of his recklessness. At this time, there is nothing wrong with acting cautiously.
He decided to squat for a while, confirm their identities through the chat between these few people, and then make a decision on the next step.
……
The prey was quickly processed by the two. The broken pieces of meat and internal organs were placed in a slightly deformed marching pot, and then the remaining meat and bones were skewered with steel brazes and placed on the campfire above.
"Finally some meat to eat... These days I ate compressed dry food every day, and I don't even know what meat tastes like..." A man wearing a tattered cloak pulled out a small knife from his waist, and kept grilling meat. Stamped on it, "It's a pity that there is no seasoning, so it can only be eaten light."
"It's best to eat less, the radiation content in this thing is not low, we have no more radiation clearing, if the radiation accumulates in your stomach, no one can save you." said the man with a large-caliber rifle .
"Never mind him, who knows if he will die tomorrow, if he can eat a good meal, he will eat it. If it weren't for the luck of us, he would have died in the purge already!"
