Chapter 209: The Edge of the Battlefield

The insect master left, but Qi Lin didn't dare to guarantee that after he relaxed his vigilance, this guy would take his insect swarm back to kill again.

After hurriedly destroying the food, this place obviously couldn't stay overnight, and after stepping on the bonfire, Qi Lin sorted out his equipment, threw his backpack back on his shoulder, and prepared to rush overnight.

Qi Lin first walked to the previous hill, and the insect master and his "pets" were gone, leaving only a dense pile of holes dug by insects on the hill.

This entire hill was almost hollowed out, and if Qi Lin had stayed on it for a while before, maybe the insect master would have directly driven the insect swarm to attack him.

I don't know what kind of adventure this guy has, a special third-level evolutionary of this type like the insect master, the real combat power is enough to be worthy of a small army...... If he could catch one or two D-class mutant bugs, it would be even more difficult to deal with.

"What a troublesome enemy......" Qi Lin frowned and sighed as he smashed the ground dented by the hollowing out underneath with the handle of his gun.

Although the insect master kept saying that he hoped not to meet him again, as long as he had the opportunity, it was estimated that this guy would like to kill himself.

Qi Lin looked around on the top of the mountain, and after determining the direction of Thunder City, he trotted up with his SCAR rifle.

The night in the wasteland is very cold, and according to the thermometer on the brain, the surface temperature is now minus three degrees Celsius, and only by running can you dispel this chill that goes straight to the bone marrow.

There are still about ten kilometers away from the southern outskirts of Thunder City, and after this ten kilometers of distance, what awaits Qi Lin will be the most dangerous and difficult part of this operation - close to the edge of the frontal battlefield between the player and the mutant creatures, he must dodge the eyes of the king blood dragon lizard in the sky, and sneak into Thunder City from under the noses of hundreds of mutant creatures.

……

Under the coercion and control of the King Blood Dragon Lizard, whose IQ had suddenly increased, the originally chaotic beast tide had been transformed into a terrifying and powerful army.

This "army" is mainly located in the empty space south of Thunder City, and confronts the players in Thunder City across the rift, and then separates some of the more elite mutated creatures to bypass the abyss rift and infiltrate from the old abandoned city to the north of Thunder City.

As for the food of so many mutant creatures, according to Song Xiaodie, the King Blood Dragon Lizard will rush over a batch of mutant creatures from other places every day as food for the "army", and the weaker mutated creatures in the entire "army" will also be eaten by stronger individuals - so, although the number of mutated creatures has decreased by nearly one-third compared with when the beast tide first broke out, the overall strength has not decreased significantly, and even, after streamlining the "team structure", Those high-level mutant creatures can exert more combat power.

Thunder City has not organized a counterattack, just a few days ago in the middle of the night, the players in the city managed to organize a group of elite soldiers, under the cover of more than 20 old era Huaxia military standard power armor, launched a "clean-up operation" against the mutant creatures outside the city.

Unfortunately, as soon as the player stepped on the ground at the other end of the Abyssal Rift, he was besieged by the mutated creatures who had been prepared for a long time, and they couldn't even advance at a distance of twenty meters, and they all hung on the edge of the Abyss Rift.

In order to prevent mutant creatures from invading Thunder City, the temporary pontoon bridge on the rift valley was also blown up, and none of the players who participated in the cleanup operation managed to escape back.

Under the siege of mutant creatures, the situation in Thunder City is getting worse day by day, the price of food, water, medicine and ammunition is rising, and many players who are unable to sustain themselves in the city have even committed suicide and resurrected to leave the isolated city.

As one of the people in charge of the consortium alliance, the consortium alliance naturally will not watch Thunder City being trapped to death, but several successive battles against mutant creatures have failed-the king blood dragon lizard seems to have mastered the player's every move, and every time the private army of the consortium has just assembled on the periphery, it will fly over and directly shoot the dragon's breath, and there will be nothing left.

As for those heavy weapons that can deal with the King Blood Dragon Lizard, with the player's ability at this stage, they are either unusable or cannot be carried.

This situation is also one of the prerequisites for Qi Lin to think that he can trade with Thunder, as a businessman, it is impossible for Thunder not to know the value that Steel City represents.

This move is very dangerous, if you are not careful, the entire steel city, including Qi Lin's small life, may be swallowed by a behemoth like Thunder, but if the bait is not tempting enough, how can these bigwigs easily take the bait?

Qi Lin is gambling, and the reliance he relies on is honestly very unreliable. But Qi Lin still clearly remembered that when he jokingly proposed to want the position of "City Lord of Thunder City", Bryce said: As long as he is willing to join that "organization", the position of City Lord can be given to him.

Bryce's tone, not a joke.

And the energy of that mysterious "organization" is probably still above the consortium alliance.

Although Qi Lin is not interested in joining the "organization", it can be seen from this that what Thunder wants will never be just money.

This opens up a possibility for cooperation between the two sides, and on the other side of the scale, Qi Lin is not alone, Ayakui, Fog Eyes, Iron Cross, Song Xiaodie...... Even the 404 base was used as a bargaining chip in his hand.

In the old days, there was a very popular card game called "Happy Landlord", which was divided into several fields, the more advanced the field, the bigger the stakes in a game, and if you want to sit at the top table and play with the richest players, you must have enough virtual game currency in your hand.

That's the rule of the game.

In addition, although Qi Lin didn't want to join that "organization", it was absolutely impossible to say that he was not curious about the true face of that "organization...... What kind of existence would make Bryce say things like "join the organization and give you Thunder City"?

But...... The most critical question at the moment is how he can safely enter Thunder City without alarming the mutated creatures.

It was ten o'clock in the middle of the night, Qi Lin was crouching on the roof of an old-era café, and looking in the direction he was facing, in front of him was the empty space south of Thunder City and the ruins of the two battle castles that had been destroyed by the beast tide.

Countless mutated creatures gathered in the open space in twos and threes, either eating or resting, and there were also several mutated creatures that were aggressive by nature fighting each other...... High in the sky, with the sound of huge wings flapping the air, the black figure of the king blood dragon lizard was hovering above the empty space, not letting out a roar that resounded through the heavens and the earth.

And whenever the King Blood Dragon Lizard roared, no matter what those mutated creatures on the ground were doing, there would be a brief pause in their body movements.

According to the information gathered by the players, this is a passive skill called [Long Wei] of the King Blood Dragon Lizard, which has absolute suppression and control ability for low-level mutant creatures, which coincides with many descriptions of the characteristics of dragons in Western magic in the old era.

Qi Lin observed, not all mutant creatures stayed still, and there were also many mutant creatures with strong perception acting as "patrols" on the periphery, just not far from Qi Lin, the "patrol team" composed of three "thorny wolves" was climbing over a metal guardrail with their tails between their legs, patrolling along an old road.
