Wasteland Code Survival Chapter 84: Strange corpse
Song Xiaodie slowly turned the infrared thermal imager at an angle, pointed it at the northernmost tower of the castle, adjusted the focus, and then pressed a button, a blurred image appeared on the display Came out.
Although it is daytime, the image quality will be affected to a certain extent, but you can still see a white tower shape-inside the tower and the shallow underground, there are no abnormal color blocks, which means , There are no creatures over there.
Of course, except for cold-blooded animals.
These cold-blooded creatures, because their body temperature changes with the environment, their images, usually projected on a thermal imaging camera, are easily confused with the surrounding environment and cannot be distinguished at all.
still have to go check it out!
"Your mission should be to record these images, right? It should be completed now! I plan to go in and take a look. You will be careful when you return to the city." Qi Lin checked his equipment again. Said to Song Xiaodie.
"I'll go in with you." Who knows that Song Xiaodie suddenly pursed her lips a little unhappily, and at the same time, she pulled the compound bow in her hand slightly, her eyes stubbornly, as if to show that she had a good combat power. Staring at Qi Lin, it means "If you don't let me follow you, I will shoot you cold arrow behind my back".
"If you think about it clearly, you might hang up." Qi Lin said flatly. If this girl must follow, there is no need to refuse. After all, a first-level evolutionary is already considered good. Help, and because of Song Xiaodie's special situation, she and Xiao Lei are now the only people Qi Lin can trust in the game.
"When there is danger, I can run by myself, and you don't need you to protect me." Song Xiaodie gave Qi Lin a white look. Qi Lin was a little surprised to find that this girl's white eyes were quite charming, and she might have grown up. Disaster.
"Color is emptiness, emptiness is color, I am not a perverted lo*ic*n..." Qi Lin deliberately pretended to be indifferent after reciting a few times in his heart, and said coldly:
"Ahem, I didn't say to protect you, I mean, if you hang up, you don't have to clear the attributes. If the thermal imager is lost, do you have the money to compensate your employer? "
"I can hide the instrument on the city wall. If I die here, I can take it from the resurrection."
Although I don’t know why Song Xiaodie is so persistent, it seems that she is determined to follow. Qi Lin is not afraid that the other party has any unfavorable ideas. After all, in the real world, the two The distance between them is less than ten meters.
"Well, you can handle these things, I will give you five minutes."
……
Five minutes later, Qi Lin and Song Xiaodie, who had finished their preparations, followed a rope and slid into the castle from the inside of the outer wall.
The two people settled in a low brick house. When the castle was still inhabited, this area was for the servants who were in charge of various chores in the castle. It was the worst living condition in the castle. Even worse than the ruins of the military camp at the entrance of the castle.
But it is precisely because of the remoteness of this place, far from the courtyard and square of the castle, the two of them don't have to worry about bumping into some mutant creature "Rua!" and give themselves a bite.
Song Xiaodie’s evolution gene comes from an elite mutant Scottish Terrier. Its prominent attribute is agility. Its main weapon is an alloy compound bow. It has an active explosive skill of [hunting], which can be greatly improved in a short time. The four basic attributes of strength, agility, stamina, and perception can also improve one's concentration. The effect shown is that the running speed and archery frequency are greatly increased. At the same time, the range, power, and hit rate of arrows can also be obtained. The promotion.
Qi Lin walks in front, and Song Xiaodie is 20 meters behind him. This distance allows two people to take care of each other. Similarly, once one person is in danger, the other person will have time. Get out and find a way to support.
This is the commonly used position for two of the mercenaries to perform tasks-generally, recruits with no battlefield experience always like to get together, as if this seems more secure, but as everyone knows, this is not only It will make your goal more conspicuous. If you step on a landmine or something, there is no time to react. If the enemy has a heavy weapon, even one cannonball can kill everyone.
"Don't make a sound, pay attention to your feet and surroundings, and make your turn and head turn as small as possible..."
Qi Lin quickly entered a paragraph of text on the brain and sent it to Song Xiaodie. Now he suddenly had an illusion that he seemed to have returned to the battlefield a few years ago, and Song Xiaodie was just a recruit from the team.
In the castle, due to the low radiance of the soil, the grass grows very lush, and the height is high enough to Qi Lin's waist. As long as the cat is on the waist, this piece of grass can provide the best cover for the two .
was walking, Qi Lin suddenly felt that something was being kicked at his feet. He immediately stretched his left hand back and pointed his palm towards Song Xiaodie. In the tactical gesture, this meant "stop forward".
Changed the hunting knife in his right hand to the left~IndoMTL.com~ Qi Lin squatted down and pushed aside the dense grass-a corpse was revealed. Obviously, this is what he just kicked Stuff.
Qi Lin turned the mummy over and saw that the corpse was wearing a rotten security costume. Although his face was extremely distorted and terrifying, it can still be seen that this security guard was a human before his death, not a zombie or a zombie.
A corpse from an old age?
Qi Lin carefully inspected the corpse and found that it was exactly the same as the half of the fort, with the fatal injury on the neck.
is different from the hideous wounds of the half corpse on the fort. The wounds on the whole body of this dry corpse are only two small round holes on one side of the neck.
These two round holes are just at the position of the neck’s aorta. Qi Lin gently cut through the skin of the mummy with a hunting knife. The blood vessels under the wound were obviously ruptured and expanded. This is a large amount of blood flowing through. Traces formed here.
The cause of death of this person should be that something bit two holes in the neck, and then he sucked up the blood all over his body and died!
But why does Qi Lin look at the wound, the more he thinks of a creature that only exists in the legend?
Although no one has actually seen this kind of creature, it is active in various novels, movies, and TV series of the old age, and it is one of the indispensable elements in many Western fantasy works.
It is said that this creature fears sunlight, silver, garlic and crosses, likes to appear at night, and lives on human blood, and has an unexplainable relationship with bats...
just...
"...a vampire? Does this kind of thing really exist?"
But, if it is done by other blood-sucking beasts, why are there no scars except the two holes in the neck of the corpse?
