Chapter 499: Hidden Ranks
"Vault 906? Dude, you're going to use that as a transit point, right? By the way, which organization are you? Anyone else? Is there anyone to answer you? Lao Liu asked quickly.
"Why do you ask so much? Don't ask if you shouldn't ask, you just say that there is a way for me to arrive at Vault 906 before tomorrow morning, if you can, we can still talk, if you can't......" Qi Lin deliberately grimaced, very impatient.
Although Qi Lin planned a route by himself, according to Qi Lin's own route, if he wanted to reach Vault 906, he would have to arrive at 12 o'clock at noon tomorrow at the earliest.
After all, Qi Lin's information on train lines all comes from the public information found at the main brain terminal, and Qi Lin's familiarity with local train schedules is definitely not as good as that of a local snake like Lao Liu.
If this Lao Liu really has a way to get himself to Vault 909 half a day early, it might as well give it a try, if not, then Qi Lin will continue to follow his original route.
"Arrive at 906 by early tomorrow morning...... This is a bit difficult to do......" Lao Liu said with some embarrassment.
It's a bit difficult to do, which means it's not impossible, right?
Qi Lin was happy in his heart, but his face showed a completely opposite expression, and he turned around and wanted to leave.
"Wait, wait, wait! Dude, don't be in a hurry, this one...... It's not impossible...... It's ......" Seeing Qi Lin turn around, Lao Liu stretched out his right hand, and skillfully rubbed his thumb and index finger and middle finger twice.
"Although the time is really tight, there will always be a way, but I don't know how much money you can get buddy?"
"It can only be done, money is not an issue." Qi Lin said coldly.
"500 resource points, pay half of the deposit first, wait until you get to Vault 906, and then call me the remaining half through remote transfer."
After speaking, Lao Liu directly took out a thing similar to the old era POS machine from his body, but this thing does not need to swipe the card, as long as the fingerprint, iris and digital password are matched, you can directly complete the payment procedures from the personal account.
A POS like this would normally be available in a larger store, otherwise the transactions between the residents of the shelter would have to be carried out at the mastermind terminal.
This POS machine is produced by the same manufacturer as the game pod of Wasteland Survival Code, and it is extremely difficult to imitate and crack, so the payer does not have to worry about encountering any phishing scams or the like.
"Why don't you tell me the route first, how can I send you money?" Qi Lin took the POS machine and glanced at Lao Liu, but did not enter the password.
"Hey, hide the columns, you know?"
……
……
Twenty minutes, Vault 367, West Station.
Qi Lin standing on the platform was holding a ticket in his hand - no, to be precise, it should have been just a note with a string of numbers written on it with a signature pen, the edges of the note were very rough, as if it had been torn from a book, and the only thing that made Qi Lin feel somewhat reliable was the stamp at the end of the string of numbers.
It was just such a note, Lao Liu received 500 resource points from Qi Lin, and claimed that this was already the price after the discount - of course, if Qi Lin could introduce a few more "accomplices" to buy tickets, the price could be cheaper.
The scale of the West Station is much larger than that of Xinfuyang Station, but the number of passengers is very scarce, and there is no one else on the platform where Qi Lin is waiting for the train.
This is a freight train station, and most of the trains entering and leaving this station are freight trains carrying tons of supplies.
Lao Liu's so-called "hidden trains", Qi Lin naturally knows, this kind of train is generally disguised as a freight train, but in the secret compartment of the train, there are often contraband or stowaways hidden - the train number of these trains cannot be found in the record of the master of the shelter, although they occasionally stop at the official station, but generally it will not take more than three minutes, as for the route chosen by these trains, it is extremely secretive.
Qi Lin waited on the platform for a short time, and a harsh sound of metal grinding came from the tunnel, and a green car with only three carriages and a surface covered with soot and oil stopped in front of him.
If Qi Lin guessed correctly, these three carriages should have been removed from the Linke of the old era, but these three carriages have also been remodeled, the windows are tightly nailed with steel plates, and the roof is reinforced with steel mesh that is crossed welded together.
An unnailed car window was pushed open from the inside, and the head of a woman with messy hair poked out, and she glanced Qi Lin up and down before saying in an extremely hoarse voice: "Tickets." ”
Qi Lin stretched out his hand and handed the note to the woman.
The woman turned the note, looked at it twice, then retracted her head, and dropped a sentence before closing the window: "Come on, the car door is in the back, remember to close the door casually, close it to death, otherwise I don't care if something comes in." ”
Qi Lin didn't say anything, and ran directly to the back of the train, where there was a small door more than one meter high, Qi Lin hurriedly pushed the door open and bent down to climb into the car, then turned around and closed the door, picked up a piece of steel bar placed behind the door, and completely latched the door.
After looking at the carriage, Qi Lin realized that he seemed to be the only passenger in it, not counting a large dog lying in a cage in the corner, of course.
Qi Lin found a seat, and as soon as he sat down, the whole carriage shook violently, and then began to drive towards the tunnel.
This "hidden train" was originally to transport a batch of "more sensitive goods" to Vault 906, just in time for Qi Lin to catch up, so Lao Liu's people asked them to stay at Vault 367 for a while through communication equipment, and brought Qi Lin with them.
What is the "more sensitive goods", Lao Liu didn't tell Qi Lin, and Qi Lin didn't ask much, anyway, most of them are those contraband and other things, which either can't be circulated between shelters through normal channels, or they must pay heavy taxes to the shelter officials, so the owner of the goods will use this method to transport.
There is no need for routine inspections to make a temporary stop within three minutes at the official station, so Qi Lin has the opportunity to board the train from the West Station, and under normal circumstances, the stations that stop at such hidden columns are some extremely remote private stations or abandoned unmanned stations.
