Chapter 41: Set sail again
When Ling woke up, it was already early in the morning, the warm sun shone on his face, and the young man subconsciously clenched the ghost martial arts in his hands.
"Awake?"
Diplodocus sat on a pile of wooden piers made of dead branches and stretched his waist: "It's really enough to sleep, next time you will come to the vigil." ”
Sitting up with a mutter, Ling Yi felt a sharp pain in the depths of his brain, everything that happened yesterday was like a dream, and many trivial matters were only one or two.
The palm of his hand was slightly cold, Ling Yi looked at the ghost martial blue night, the light on the blade shimmered, as if he had been awakened to a new vitality.
"Brother Yong......"
Memories flowed upstreams like a sourceless stream, and Ling Yi remembered only one thing clearly in his impression - Daniel Zhang died.
Liang Long walked over and patted Ling Yi on the shoulder, and then called everyone to get ready to go on the road.
It turned out that he stayed up all night last night, and only asked Li Le to sleep alone.
After everyone got up from their sleepy bodies, Chris pointed in the direction of going back: "Go around the Purple Floc Garden, and it won't be long before you see the battle fortress...... This was originally the shortcut to the fortress, but because these purple flowers were so terrifying, we were forced to go far. ”
Packed up their weapons and equipment, and everyone set out on the journey again.
Leaving the Purple Floc Garden, Ling Yi silently looked in the direction behind him......
"Let's go?"
Chris carried a heavy bag and sighed: "He will always be a hero of mankind, and if we are lucky enough to win this battle for the survival of the species, I will personally build a memorial sculpture for future generations to worship." ”
"Hmm. ”
Holding the blue night in his hand, Ling Yi turned around, and then walked forward with firm steps.
......
The scorching sun was scorching, the yellow sand road was far away, and everyone had encountered several zombie raids along the way, but there were not many of them, and Ling Yi and Liang Long alone could easily deal with it.
After a day's journey, everyone finally saw the huge figure of the battle fortress.
Like an inverted iron pot, the pitch-black metal shell was covered with large and small reconnaissance holes, and under the fortress, countless zombies were wandering left and right, seemingly looking for an entrance.
"Can this also be called a fortress?"
Li Le glanced at the huge building in the distance, and couldn't help but complain: "Don't people in your world watch movies on weekdays? Let's not talk about its defensive power, just its appearance makes people feel very unreliable." ”
"There's no way around it......"
Chris looked embarrassed: "The spread of the ST virus is far beyond human imagination, and the world's population has plummeted by 90% in less than two years, and I believe that no country in the world has prepared an emergency plan in this situation." ”
"Moreover, although it looks a little rudimentary, it is equipped with the most cutting-edge technology of the old world era, and if one day the battle fortress is breached, human civilization will end here. ”
Listening to Dr. Chris's narration, Ling Yi suddenly felt that the NPCs in these scripts seemed to have unique thinking abilities, not only to introduce tasks to advance the plot, but also to invisibly change the development of the script world.
"If you properly gain the trust of NPCs, you may be able to reduce the difficulty of the script to some extent......"
The more Ling Yi thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was reliable, and at the same time, he also came up with an extremely bold idea: if he killed key NPCs on the basis of not affecting the progress of the mission, would the ending of the entire script world also be forcibly modified?
"What's wrong?"
Chris saw Ling Yi thoughtful, and couldn't help asking, he could see that Ling Yi was not in a good state from the end of the Zihua battle, but he didn't expect that the other party was thinking about whether to kill him after completing the task at this time......
"It's fine. ”
Ling smiled, thinking in his heart: If you kill the key characters in the plot, there may be a high probability of gaining some kind of title or activating the hidden mission, but this also means that you will be the enemy of the entire human alliance......
It's a pity that the role of the title system has not yet been thoroughly studied, and it seems that it is more secure to protect human beings in comparison.
"Duducious guys. ”
Liang Long pursed his lips and ignored Ling Yi again.
"Just walk through this 'desert of death' and we'll be safe. ”
Looking at the zombies swaying back and forth under the city wall, Chris didn't seem to be afraid: "Now that the purple catkins body has died, as long as there is enough water supply, it is only a matter of time before humans regain control of the world." ”
"That's not good......"
Ling Yi smiled and said, "Human civilization has stagnated, but other creatures are gradually adapting to the environment and changing their ...... Even if you can get out of the fortress one day, you may lose your former supremacy. ”
Hearing this, Li Le hurriedly gave a thumbs up: "Brother, what you said is really morale...... Destroy it, it's too tiring to save the world. ”
Knowing that Li Le was secretly sarcastic about his prestige, Ling Yi was not angry, but just spread his hands: "Just tell the truth." ”
Chris smiled bitterly twice, and said helplessly: "It's okay, returning to the bottom of the biological chain can be regarded as a lesson for all of us...... If humanity returns to the top one day in the future, it should no longer think about developing such a terrible thing. ”
"You mean, the zombie virus is not a natural disaster, but a man-made development?"
"That's right, the creator of the virus is none other than one of my former students, his name is Cole. ”
Chris shook his head and lamented: "The prototype of the ST virus was first discovered from the body of an unknown creature in the crater, we call it the RT virus, and my biological group is responsible for the cultivation of the RT virus. ”
"Virus breeding?"
"Yes, because the RT virus gives animal cells a powerful regenerative power, most of the world's diseases can be cured if people use it wisely...... It can be said that its appearance is simply a miracle in the history of medicine. ”
Chris said, an almost blind fervor in his eyes.
"You won't say that one of your students is named Cole, and there happens to be a sick girl in the family, because her illness is serious, Cole, as a father, can't bear to see the child die, so he started the research and development of the RT virus, and accidentally made the ST virus. ”
Li Le said indifferently: "The ST virus laboratory is hidden in the basement of the battle fortress, and all the former R&D personnel have been infected by the virus and become zombies, and you are the only survivor in the group back then...... Am I right?"
Feeling Chris's stunned gaze, Li Le was also a little embarrassed: "I just saw that the atmosphere was too depressing, so I just made a joke casually." ”
"My God, are you the prophet of myths and legends?" Chris's mouth opened wide, as if he had heard something incredible, "Dear Time Traveler, you must be the savior of this world, the apostles sent by God to save us!"
"What do you mean...... Did I guess right?" Li Le's eyes widened, "It can't be a plot like this, right?"
"Wait...... How did you guess the location of the lab?"
Ling Yi's face was full of doubts: "Also, why do you know that Cole must have a daughter, why can't it be a son, or a twin?"
Shaking his fingers, Li Le smiled and said, "The Buddha said, don't say, don't say." ”
Patting Ling Yi on the shoulder, Liang Long said helplessly: "Please watch more movies to relax after work, this kind of rotten street plot almost constitutes the main theme of zombie movies, even if it is changed to a son, it is still the same thing." ”
"Movies?"
The corners of Ling Yi's mouth moved slightly.
Indeed, Ling Yi's hobbies in the real world are decryption and solving cases, but they are limited to decryption and solving cases, and other things can't arouse any interest in Ling Yi at all.
However, Ling Yi also watched a movie called "The Man Under the Bed", because the murderer of that murder provoked the police after leaving the scene, deliberately leaving this movie as a clue.
Since watching "The Man Under the Bed", Ling Yi has vowed that he will never touch a movie again...... Because the so-called murder in the locked room told in it was simply a joke in Ling Yi's eyes! The reasoning was completely illogical, and the almost omnipotent fishing line in it also left a "deep impression" on him.
After coming to the world of scripts, Ling Yi suddenly found that the knowledge that had not been helpful in solving the case before seemed to come in handy now, and it seemed that there was indeed no end to learning about it, and some knowledge and experience might come into play one day.
"Can you tell me more about the origin of the RT virus...... It's that volcano. ”
Compared to what these NPCs had done, how many people had died, and what a tragic story, Ling Yi wanted to know more about the points.
"We talked as we walked. ”
Liang Long signaled that Ling Yi should move forward, and if he stayed, he was afraid that he would have to make trouble.
As the crowd continued to march in the direction of the fortress, Chris carried a heavy package and said, "The name of that volcano is Aaron, and according to the historical atlas, it has only erupted once since its formation. ”
"Later, due to some special reasons, the empire launched a large-scale exploration work on it, and the RT virus was discovered. ”
I don't know if I was tired from the sun, Chris was flushed, and he had a high blood pressure expression on his head.
"You just mentioned a virus-carrying creature?"
"Yes, an ancient creature that has not yet been named...... It's hard to describe, but there's a sample of it inside the fort, so you can check it out when the time comes. ”
"Good. ”
Ling Yi had a strong premonition that there should still be many unknown secrets in that volcano. However, according to the current configuration, there are only in the team
Ling Yi has the ability to fight, and if he starts a hidden mission like the Crematorium Garden, the annihilation of the group is almost inevitable.
"I think you're done talking about how to find death. ”
Liang Long motioned for everyone to stop, and then leaned over and lay on the ground: "Our old friend seems to want to catch up with everyone." ”
"Old friend, who?"
Li Le saw that everyone's expressions became nervous, and he subconsciously raised the rusty short knife.
"Lord of the Dunes. ”
Ling Yi held the Ghost Martial Blue Night in his hand, looked at the ravines that the dust and sand in the distance were constantly attacking, and said in a deep voice: "There is no reason not to accept the side quest that came to the door. ”
