Wasteland Code Survival Chapter 137: New journey

"Hey, hello, Cooper, can you hear it?" Qi Lin called Cooper for the first time after leaving the 404 base through the communicator connected to the power armor.

"...whis...you can hear...whis...but because most of the facilities in the base are closed...now the signal received is not very good..."

"How long will this situation last?"

"...his...After repairing part of the reactor, I...his...will give priority to the signal amplifier and receiving tower...his...it takes about a week..."

"Okay, I see." Qi Lin shut down the communication, and then slowly looked around in a circle wearing the power armor.

Now Thunder City has been besieged by the tide of beasts. Although those mutant creatures cannot enter Thunder City, the entrance to Thunder City will be destroyed. If you want to return to Thunder City, you have to make a big circle. Through the rift in the abyss.

However, Qi Lin does not intend to return to Thunder City now. It is a very dangerous move to stay in a city besieged by the tide of beasts. No one knows which day the tide of beasts will engulf the entire city—whether it is To bypass the gap, or from some other route. In the second-level difficulty game world, no one knows how high the ai of these mutant creatures has been.

Therefore, Qi Lin's next destination is a coastal bay not far from here, and the name of that bay is the famous "Hangzhou Bay" in the old times.

During the war, the entire Hangzhou Bay was turned into a huge military port. In the "Wasteland Survival Code", the players who gathered in this port relied on an old ship that was stranded there. The sky-class super aircraft carrier "Jiangzhe" has built a city no less than Thunder City.

The "Jiangzhe" super aircraft carrier is one of the largest sky-class aircraft carriers of China in the old era. It is known as a mobile fortress on the sea. It is more than one thousand meters in length and has a maximum displacement of more than 400,000 tons... and relying on this The city built by an abandoned super aircraft carrier was named by the wasteland players-"The City of Steel"!

In just one week after the establishment of the City of Steel, more than 100,000 players have gathered. There is no other reason, just because the actual control of the City of Steel is held in a "New Era Mutual Aid Association". In the hands of the organization.

This "New Era Mutual Aid Association" is said to be a religious organization founded by an English priest in China. The main purpose of this organization is similar to that of the church in the old age. It promotes the existence of a supreme god, and requires the members of the mutual aid association to treat everyone with love, equality, friendliness, and integrity on the premise of maintaining absolute piety to the Lord God. .

The Mutual Aid Association publicizes the need to open up a pure land on the wasteland, so that every player, rich or poor, high or low, can have equal status and rights, so that everyone has the guarantee to survive on the wasteland.

Because of this, the Mutual Aid Association gathered a large number of fanatical believers in just a few days——

In this wasteland where many people can't see tomorrow and hope, a religious organization that popped up suddenly can naturally make up for the confusion and emptiness in these people's hearts.

The two cities of Steel City and Thunder City are also the two cities with the largest scale and the largest number of players in the southeast coast of China.

Furthermore, according to the chats of some players on the World Radio Channel, some ships have been repaired in the City of Steel, and it will not be long before sea routes can be opened.

Although the radiation also affects the creatures in the sea to some extent, the powerful marine mutants almost all stay in the deep sea area. In this case, it is just that the routes of coastal navigation are much safer than those on the ground.

……

For the true face of this "New Era Mutual Aid Association", Qi Lin still has a somewhat skeptical attitude. On the wasteland, if someone like that really exists, then it is simply the reincarnation of the Virgin... But no matter how you look at it Qi Lin feels that this mutual aid association is certainly not as simple and simple as it seems.

But anyway, at least on the surface, the City of Steel and the New Era Mutual Aid Association have played a role of justice in the wasteland. At least unlike some other cities that use high-pressure methods to rule, they will Some players have become slaves without human rights.

Cleaning up the equipment briefly, Qi Lin soon found a still-driving van in an abandoned town a few kilometers away.

Lifting the power armor into the cargo hold, Qi Lin got into the cab--although this car, not to mention the Hummer he just lost, can’t even compare to the off-road vehicle he looted, but it’s anyway It can be regarded as a vehicle, otherwise, Qi Lin can't wear a power armor and go across most of the Soviet province.

However, before Qi Lin had driven a few kilometers, he found a large group of refugee players in ragged clothes, carrying various bags, and holding simple "weapons" such as wooden sticks and farm tools.

There are about 20 or 30 of these players. The oldest of them has white hair and beard, while the youngest is just in their early tens. According to Refuge Decree No. 153, children under the age of 8 do not need to enter the game, so this is almost the youngest player Qi Lin can see.

Hearing the sound of the truck, these players turned their heads one by one, and several of the younger and more powerful players waved their arms at Qi Lin vigorously, screaming something in their mouths. .

Qi Lin drove the truck closer, but he did not stop, but gradually slowed down the speed of the car. At this time, a man who looked like the leader of this team of players ran leaning over, panting. Qilin said, "Hey, brother...brother, can you give us... a ride? We... can... pay!"

"Hitchhiking? Where are you going?" Qi Lin leaned against the car window, glanced at him, and asked casually.

"Steel...the city of steel! Did you know! It is said that joining the mutual aid association there...you can...you can...have food and shelter...and...and...clean hot water... …You can take a bath!"

Seeing that this player was almost out of breath, Qi Lin finally stepped on the brake.

"Have food and shelter? Can you take a bath? Where were you before? Who told you this information?"

"...hu...hu..." The other party first took a violent breath on the knees with both hands, and then said: "We have traveled a long distance from Hui Province, and our settlement and land have been mutated. The creatures were ruined, and there were more than a hundred people. Only so little remained... As for the mutual aid association, a person who passed by our settlement and called himself a "missionary" told us."

The settlement? Qi Lin took a look at this person’s clothes, but didn’t doubt what he said—in the game, not all slum players gathered in big cities like Thunder City, and more were in the wilderness. Large and small settlements have been established in places where the radiation concentration is low, and they can survive by hunting some low-level mutant creatures and planting some good-feeding crops such as potatoes.

For settlements like this kind of basically no combat power, a few mutant creatures that are less than f-rank can be easily destroyed.

But that "missionary", but Qi Lin raised a little interest...Does this "New Era Mutual Aid Association" really want to develop into a religion like Christianity in the old age?

"How can you be sure~IndoMTL.com~ that the missionary must be true?" Qi Lin asked.

"Someone in our settlement has unlocked the World Radio Channel, and we have paid special attention to it. This is true! As long as you join a mutual aid association, your life can be guaranteed, and you don't have to worry about food and mutant creatures!" Lin didn't believe it, the player said very excitedly.

"Oh? Are these all free? Did the missionary say that after joining the mutual aid association, what needs you to do?" Qi Lin continued to ask.

"This..." The other party recalled for a while, and then said, "First, we must maintain our devotion to the'Lord God', and second, we must unconditionally obey the requirements of the Mutual Aid Association's president, that is, the'Archbishop'... Other... It seems that the other person did not say."

"Then what if the archbishop wants you to die? Are you obediently obedient?"

Qi Lin’s question made the man stunned for a while, and then the man laughed immediately: "Brother, don’t be kidding, the archbishop is a saint, how can we go to death? I think you must have unlocked it too. World Radio Channel, you can just turn on the brain and take a look. Now there are more than 100,000 people in the City of Steel. Almost all of them have joined the mutual aid association. Can’t those more than 100,000 be fools!"
