Wasteland Code Survival Chapter 174: The survivors of the mine disaster
Although the relationship between Xiao Lei and Qi Lin is just a roommate, Qi Lin is still deeply puzzled by this kid's abnormal behavior.
In this era, words such as visits and travel can only be seen in those tattered old-time magazines and books. Generally, slum residents, unless they are going to receive a fixed amount of living supplies or go In black market transactions, most people are actually "squatting at home"-not only because it consumes less energy in the house, but also for safety reasons.
In some corners of the black market, there is a butcher shop that specializes in selling processed dried meat. The price is nearly half cheaper than that of pork in the regular market. There is no obvious trace of radiation disease on it, but Qi Lin But he never buys it, because he knows where the "meat" comes from.
"You fellow...I hope I don't let me see you in the black butcher shop..." Qi Lin ate something in a hurry, then left the residence and went straight to the underground black market.
The rebellion in Vault 188 has been quelled, and life in Vault 187 has returned to normal. The black market is still full of people, but there are many fewer old faces. Many new faces.
Xiao Lei has never been to the underground black market. Sometimes Qi Lin has something to ask him to purchase materials to the official material trading market designated by the shelter. Many businessmen in the black market know Qi Lin, but they certainly don't know Xiao Lei.
However, if you want to inquire about a person's whereabouts, there is often more intelligence and information in the black market.
As soon as Qi Lin walked into the black market, a gun dealer who knew him greeted him: "Hey, sight, I haven't seen you coming for a long time recently, how about it? Have you made any good products to let you guys? Take a look, my buddy's bid will definitely not lose you!"
Qi Lin smiled at the big bearded man who dressed like the old American western cowboy, and said: "I have been squatting at home these days to deal with that game. I just came out today."
"Tsk, with your ability, you can surely get a lot of fun in the'Wasteland' world, right? But buddy, I can only occasionally play extravagance, and sometimes I have to post points into the game in exchange for it. Survival resources-"The gun dealer played with the Colt m1873 border shooter he regarded as a treasure in his hand. If he adds a cowboy hat, this goods can almost be the protagonist of the old-time westerns.
"It's okay, what's the news lately?" Qi Lin took out two compressed cigarettes from his pocket and threw one at the other side.
After the war, the level of information dissemination of mankind has been regressed for nearly hundreds of years. Newspapers and magazines have long been a legacy of the last era. To obtain new information, they can only rely on people’s mouths. According to legend, it may be a big publicity screen set up in the middle of the material trading market.
"News? Yes! The previous group of rebels is probably desperate. Te Niang's actually used powerful weapons. Fortunately, we are lucky. The rebels only bombed half of the rich area and half of the middle. It's just a district. The cleanup work has been digging for several days. It is said that a mine tunnel that was buried by the accident was dug the day before yesterday, and there are still living people in it!" The gun dealer said loudly, and all the stars splashed on his beard.
"Huh? Mine?" Qi Lin was taken aback. He felt that he could already guess what Xiao Lei was doing.
"Yes, this incident has spread in several nearby refuges in the past two days. It is said that the group of people lived under the mine for more than half a year. At first they were buried in dozens of people, and finally they were rescued alive. , There are only less than ten left."
Half a year ago...Isn't this just the time when Xiao Lei's parents had an accident? As for the mineral vein, there is only one here, and both shelters 187 and 188 are being mined at the same time.
In this way, the survivors who were rescued should be the "diggers" who were believed to have died in the accident. Xiao Lei must have looked for this after hearing the news in the trading market. His parents are, but, I don’t know if there is any of his parents among the remaining survivors...
"But...how did those people survive for half a year? Even if there is enough food and water in the mine, and there is not enough oxygen, let alone more than half a year, those people can't hold on for a week?" Qi Lin was full of doubts, it was almost impossible to survive for more than half a year in that desperate situation.
"Oxygen...come here, quietly...I'm the exclusive news..." The gun dealer and Qi Lin beckoned, and he whispered after Qi Lin approached him, "It is said that the survivors were found in the ground. What kind of substance is planted that can turn carbon dioxide into oxygen like the photosynthesis of plants, but does not need sunlight-of course, I only heard that, but the reliability is very high. Not only did the troops not evacuate Vault 188, but instead During this period of time, I have adjusted a lot from various places-think about it, if there is such a thing, this is a baby!"
Qi Lin nodded in agreement. Oxygen circulation has always been the top priority in the refuge. It is no less important than food production and sewage purification. If this new substance is really discovered, he said Uncertainty can also delay the limit time for people to return to the ground for a while.
It's just that, in this way, Vault 188 must be in a state of full martial law, let alone whether Xiao Lei's parents are still alive, he wants to see the survivors, it is estimated that he will have to go through many difficulties.
It is impossible for Qi Lin to go to evacuation No. 188 now. According to the gun dealer, after the news came, just yesterday, the evacuation center officially closed the passage between the two refuges temporarily. , Only allow rail cars that transport materials to pass.
Xiao Lei is going to find his parents. The risks in this can be said to be extremely great. Let alone the dangers that may be encountered on the road, if he is there, he cannot make up his own game time within a week. , It is likely to fall into the dilemma of losing supplies.
In other words~IndoMTL.com~ If Xiao Lei fails to find his parents, the possibility of coming back is infinitely close to zero.
Qi Lin sighed. This kind of thing is not something he can control. Although he can be regarded as an orphan without a father or mother, he can understand the kind of affection between others and his parents to some extent—even if When Xiao Lei made this decision, he was not in the game, and he probably couldn't stop him.
This is the end of the matter, Qi Lin can only wish Xiao Lei luck in his heart.
"By the way, besides this, there is a big news, but it is in the game. An hour ago, those Koreans in the north took advantage of a blizzard and attacked a Russian furry city on the edge of the tundra. While the fighting is going on, it is said that the number of melees has exceeded 30,000, and it has attracted many mutant creatures. Most of the permafrost tundra has become a mess."
An hour ago? This happens to be when Qi Lin just went offline, but for players in China, the war between Maozi and Bangzi has little to do with them, unless...
"I heard that in the game now, several consortiums established in the north are secretly recruiting troops, planning to collect a wave of profits. If the sight is in the north of the game world? I think if you want to join those big Consortium, with your craftsmanship, you will definitely have no worries about food and drink!"
