668 Wasteland Marauders

Orange dust billows in the sky, making the already modest visibility even less visible. Lin Chi and Frankenstein looked at each other with "Sasha", who had just been saved by them.

In the end, it was Sasha who broke the silence again:

"Are you new prisoners?"

"That's right." Lin Chi nodded, and with the help of the radio wave communication instrument in the spacesuit, he talked to the black man in front of him who looked "loyal": "How long have you been here?" ”

"It's been ten years." Sasha's answer was crisp and crisp, and it didn't sound like a lie.

"Looks like you're our old-timer." Lin Chi said with a smile.

- They have just arrived on Mars, and they are still unfamiliar with life, and it is difficult to even survive simply, if they can have a good relationship with this "senior", they may be able to follow him to find the gathering place of criminals who have been exiled to Mars, and no matter how bad they are, they can get information about this planet.

Because of this, Lin Chi's attitude at this time is also very good, and his usual state of "killing this group of bastards" is very different. And Sasha, who had just been woken up by him, obviously ate this set too:

"Hehe, don't dare to be, don't dare to be, you saved me, without you I'm dead now......"

"Why did you faint?" Frankenstein's eyes curled dangerously, and his dark red eyes stared at Sasha's charcoal-colored face.

"Ah......h

Hearing Frankenstein's question, Sasha reached out and grabbed his helmet, as if he didn't want to answer the question, but after thinking about it, he still said the answer:

"Actually...... The reason why I am so weak is because I have been banished by my own tribe. ”

"Exiles on Mars have established tribes?" Lin Chi immediately asked.

- There is no doubt that this is another important piece of information that I have received in addition to the information of the "scientists".

"Yes, the climate in this hellish place is so terrifying that you can't survive by just one person or a few people. Only by coming together can we survive. Sasha nodded.

The living environment of Mars is indeed very harsh, not only is oxygen extremely scarce, but there are almost zero edible animal and plant resources, and there is no flowing water source, and the temperature difference between the four seasons is extremely large.

Mars is relatively far from the Sun, and the solar radiation energy it receives is only 43 percent that of Earth. The average temperature on the ground is about 30 degrees Celsius lower than that of the Earth, and the temperature difference between day and night can reach hundreds of degrees Celsius.

Due to the density of Mars' atmosphere, which is less than one percent of the Earth's atmosphere, the atmosphere is simply not able to conserve heat. As a result, the planet's surface temperature is extremely low, rarely exceeding zero degrees Celsius, and on Martian nights, the lowest temperature can reach minus 123 degrees Celsius.

It takes more than courage to survive at these temperatures......

"How the hell did you survive?" Lin Chi said with emotion.

"Scientists have set up greenhouses and fixed bases on Mars, and they are the early scientists who came here to study, and they can't return because the spacecraft is broken." Sasha patiently explains: "We picked up the waste they threw away, some of which were used to heat the house, and some of which produced a small amount of oxygen. ”

"Won't you attack them?" Frankenstein shook his fist.

"You don't think we thought about it?" Sasha sighed: "The equipment of the scientists is too strong, they even have guns in their hands, we only have junk weapons such as iron rods, and if we meet them, we will be slaughtered!" ”

- So the most powerful force on this planet is the scientist trapped here......

After learning this ironic fact, Lin Chi chuckled lightly and continued to ask the NPC prisoner in front of him, "Did the scientists go to the wreckage of the crashed spaceship to collect parts to repair their spaceship?" ”

"Yes, scientists have always wanted to go back to Earth, but their ship won't start, and they seem to be looking for a way to get back. Or maybe it's something else...... Who knows. Sasha shook her head irritably.

Having obtained this talking "database", Lin Chi and Frankenstein were about to continue asking when they saw orange waves slowly hitting the sand in the distance.

"Oh no, the sandstorm is coming. We've got to find a place to hide. Sasha said as she turned and rushed in the opposite direction of the sandstorm.

As the "old fritter" who has survived on Mars for ten years, this person travels quickly on the sand dunes in a one-legged jump, much faster than Lin Chi and Frankenstein.

Seeing this scene, Lin Chi and Frankenstein also began to imitate his movements, although the appearance of jumping around was very funny, but the increase in movement speed was real.

"The atmosphere of Mars is so thin, and sandstorms are not very powerful, right?" Lin Chi looked back at the sand wall behind him.

Unlike the giant sandstorms that can kill people on Earth, the atmosphere on Mars is very thin, the air pressure is much smaller, and the wind and speed are completely incomparable to the super typhoons on Earth, and there should be no threat to humans wearing protective clothing.

"It's not very destructive, but the solar cells can't be used, and this is one of our main sources of energy!" Sasha's voice sounded very anxious: "Didn't you two carry solar panels?" Tie that thing up tightly and don't get blown away! ”

"Got it." Lin Chi said and tied the "turtle shell" behind him more tightly.

Wind energy on Mars is unreliable, hydropower is almost nil, thermal power consumes scarce oxygen, and it is nonsense for prisoners to want to develop advanced energy sources such as nuclear power. So come to think of it...... It seems that these guys can only use solar energy.

Most of the spaceships that carried the prisoners were equipped with solar panels, and the energy generated from the panels was pitifully small, but it was better than nothing.

It is conceivable that the sandstorm on Mars that covers the sky and the sun is undoubtedly a real catastrophe for criminals who only have solar energy!

"Run!"

Sasha said this on his lips, but his feet were still moving forward with his legs alternating jumps, and the three of them were jumping around in the desert like three stupid kangaroos.

Ten minutes later, seeing that the sandstorm did not spread in this direction, but passed to the other side, Sasha finally sat down on the sand with relief, panting and said, "Okay......"

"What are you going to do next?" Lin Chi stared at the other party curiously.

Exiled by the criminal clan, Sasha only carries basic life-sustaining equipment, and according to his range of movement, he doesn't know when he will run out of oxygen. And it doesn't seem to be carrying food or water.

If this continues, this exiled prisoner will definitely die in front of Lin Chi and Frankenstein. However, looking at the appearance of this guy, he should have thought of a solution.

As expected, the horizontal flesh on Sasha's face frowned, squeezed out a hideous expression, and said, "Of course I went back to grab it!" ”

"You mean, back to your banished tribe?" Lin Chi frowned.

"Yes, it's still in the sandstorm area right now, so they should have lost power." Sasha gritted his teeth and said, as if he was planning to kill the other party: "That's a small tribe, robbing them now is the right way!" ”

- So that's why you betrayed your people?

Lin Chi was about to complain, but saw that a task prompt had popped up in front of him:

Start Mission: Tribal Massacre.

Sasha, who was exiled by his tribe, asks you to assist him in plundering the tribe that exiled him.

Rewards: Available life-sustaining equipment, food, and water.

……

After seeing the task reward, Lin Chi immediately nodded and said, "Let's go." ”

Although it is not yet clear how effective the clan of criminals is, this kind of mission reward is really hard to refuse. Because of this, he also accepted the task without hesitation and joined Sasha's "robbery camp".

"Find a place to store the panels, and come with me." Sasha said and walked back in the direction of the sandstorm without looking back.

Lin Chi and Frankenstein stuffed the solar panels behind them into their backpacks, then glanced at each other and exchanged meaningful glances:

- After completing the mission, he became him.

- I think so too.

On this point, the two of them were very much in agreement, and they confirmed the next course of action with just their eyes.

Despite his appearance, he seems to be very honest, but the felons who are exiled to Mars will naturally not be of any good nature. This guy who claims to be Sasha knows at a glance that he is not a good bird, and if he succeeds in helping him rob, he may be bitten back. Getting rid of this before that is the right thing to do.

"Hurry up!" Sasha's voice rang out from the headphones: "Have you put the battery board away?" It's inconvenient to fight with a battery board. ”

"Alright." Lin Chi said and immediately followed.

According to Sasha's description, the criminals exiled to Mars do not have any decent weapons in their hands, at most they only have various melee weapons, and long-range guns are in the hands of "scientists".

If that's the case, players with guns in their backpacks shouldn't be too difficult to take out the criminals here.

- Let's see the situation first......

Lin Chi knew that in the game "War Paradise", things would obviously not be so simple. It should be impossible for players to easily slaughter Martian NPCs.

Even if they don't have guns in their hands, the most vicious criminals must have developed other ways of fighting.

While he was thinking, Sasha's voice sounded from the earphones, interfering with Lin Chi's thoughts:

"Get down, the marauders are coming!"

Before the words fell, Sasha, who was still jumping forward before, fell to the ground in an instant as if he was dead, and Lin Chi and Frankenstein also fell to the ground suddenly, and the orange sand particles quickly covered their spacesuits, creating natural armor.

In the sand and dust in front of him, an exceptionally large figure loomed. Even though it was just a silhouette, Lin Chi could see that the other party was at least three meters tall, and the outline of his arms was not like a human, and many mechanical parts were added to his arms.

Then, in Lin Chi's blurred vision, an unusually clear prompt text appeared:

"Wasteland Marauder", a heroic NPC, cannot be recruited.

Is this so-called predator similar to a wild boss?

Lin Chi was thinking about it, and saw the other party's huge body break through the sandstorm and rush out, and the "giant" hidden in the sand just now finally showed a terrifying true body:

The guy was wearing a cobalt blue power armor suit, and his helmet was hemispherical in the shape of a hemisphere sunk into the front of the armor. The chest and shoulders are spray-painted with a skull pattern, and the text "MARINE" is written underneath.

The arms of this large power armor are equipped with drills and circular saws, and a linear white light flashes from under the helmet, as if scanning the vicinity.

", didn't you say that the criminals of the tribe have little combat effectiveness?" Lin Chi scolded.

"The Marauders are different, they are wearing Martian Marine armor captured from the scientists, and a few years ago my tribe ambushed the scientists in the field, only to kill more than 200 people before they killed the scientists who were mining in the fields wearing the Marine armor. Then I gave that set of Marine armor to our patriarch......"

Speaking of which, Sasha had already begun to retreat again: "You guys resist, I'll go first." ”

"Hey ......"

Lin Chi was about to stop the other party, but a murmur suddenly mixed in the communication, and a roar with its own subwoofer effect sounded from the earphones, shaking the eardrums of everyone present:

"Sasha, you actually had an affair with the patriarch's wife...... You must die today! ”

"Damn, aren't you banished?" Lin Chi looked at the black man who was running away in surprise.

- Although he had known that this thing would trap him, he didn't expect it to happen so quickly, this bastard who claimed to be exiled by the tribe turned out to be "the old king next door" or something.

In this way, Sasha was not banished, but escaped on his own, and then fell in the sand. Now, it seems that the reason why this thing fainted due to weakness can also be explained......

"Friends, I'll leave it to you!" Sasha shouted as she jumped backwards.

Although Lin Chi and Frankenstein were also retreating, the Marauder's speed was obviously much faster than them, and the thruster jet behind the Marine Corps' armor burst out with blue and white flames, pushing the armor to fly close to the ground, rushing towards the two.

"Die, Sasha's accomplices." The rough roar of the marauder reached the ears of the two through the headphones.

Obviously, this big guy has also received the news from Sava just now, and has already identified Lin Chi and Frankenstein as enemies!

So, there is only one option left:

"Kill him."

As Lin Chi spoke, he took out the multi-barrel grenade launcher from his backpack and bombarded the marauders indiscriminately, and the cobalt blue armor that was rushing suddenly disappeared into the cloud of explosion.

The soundproofing of the spacesuit is very good, completely isolating the roar of the grenade explosion. But a few grenades that hit the body only lasted less than two seconds, and the marauders quickly broke through the smoke and dust and rushed over, except for a few more black spots on the armor, they didn't suffer any damage at all!

- Is it so hard?

Before Lin Chi could put away the grenade launcher, he saw that the Marauder in the Marine Corps power armor had already rushed in front of him, and the circular saw in his right hand was spinning wildly, cutting into the head of his spacesuit.
