Chapter 9: Four-Star Difficulty Mission
"Monsters in the Radiant Lake? Four-star difficulty? Accept! ”
In Qi Lin's mind, the reason why this mission can reach four-star difficulty should be mainly because the mission target is in the Radiation Lake, a forbidden area for ordinary players, and if the problem of radiation can be solved, then the monster itself should not be too strong.
"Monster...... At...... Lake bottom...... You've got to ...... Dive down......" The zombie gestured vigorously with the only remaining arm, and Qi Lin finally understood the content of its gesture after watching it for a long time.
"Monster...... Is my body size twice as big? Is that what it means? ”
The zombie nodded.
It is twice its size, lives in a lake, and is supposed to be a mutated fish that is not afraid of radiation...... Qi Lin slowly analyzed the known information in his mind, and the image of a huge strange fish with a length of about three meters and a giant strange fish full of fangs and sharp spines gradually sketched in his mind.
As for how to kill this strange fish, Qi Lin looked at the weapons he was carrying again, the AK47 had been destroyed in the explosion, and the only guns left around him were an MP7 micro-punch found from an off-road vehicle, and two daggers made of Damascus steel.
Ordinary firearms are basically useless underwater, not to mention whether the bullet primer can be successfully fired, even if the bullet is fired, in the water environment with great resistance, the effective killing range is only a few meters, and with the power of micro-charge, in this environment, it is very doubtful whether it can shoot through the skin of mutant creatures.
Leaving MP7 on the shore, taking off the windbreaker on his body, leaving only a pair of underwear, and then tying the two daggers to his ankles respectively, Qi Lin took a deep breath, and a fierce man plunged into the lake.
The icy water of the lake immediately enveloped his whole body, and a slight tingling sensation could be felt on his skin due to the extremely high radiation level in the water.
The lake is a little muddy, the visibility is not very high, and there are no small fish, and it is estimated that even if there are other fish that can be stocked in the radiation, most of them will become food for the mission target.
Qi Lin found that after diving into the water, a slowly descending blue indicator slot appeared on the brain, which was supposed to indicate the amount of remaining oxygen stored in the player's lungs.
Lung capacity is directly linked to physical fitness, Qi Lin's physical fitness value is a full 14 points, so the oxygen in his lungs is very sufficient, he estimated, he should be able to last underwater for about fifteen to twenty minutes.
Pushing away the lake in front of him with both hands, Qi Lin continued to dive deeper, the scope of the lake is not very large, about an area of less than one square kilometer, if there is such a big strange fish below, with his perception of up to 9 points, it should be easy to find it.
In fact, Qi Lin really wanted to give himself a knife and put some blood to lure the monster out, but he really couldn't be sure if there was really only one monster in this lake, and if it attracted a large group, it would be fun.
Swimming slowly at a depth of about four or five meters, you can roughly see the bottom of the lake, and there are many wrecks of vehicles in the mud and sand.
"I don't know if there is anything valuable at the bottom of the lake...... "Before the end of the world, shipwreck salvage is a job to get rich, but I don't know if "sunken car salvage" has made a profit.
However, just when Qi Lin wanted to dive down to take a look, a strong fishy smell suddenly came from the direction of seven o'clock behind him, Qi Lin immediately kicked hard, and the whole person turned over in the water, and at the same time his limbs were folded into a ball, all of which was completed in just one second, he felt a hard and cold behemoth grazing his back and swimming quickly!
"It's coming!"
Qi Lin turned his head and saw a huge strange ...... Well, the fathead fish flipped its tail fin and turned around, but the fathead fish's body reached four meters away!
"Damn, that stupid zombie really has a problem with his eyesight!"
A fathead fish with a foot of four and a half meters, if it were placed before the end of the world, it would be enough to make a three-day headline in a provincial newspaper plus a dozen follow-up reports, but now, looking at this big fish that can swallow himself in one bite, Qi Lin's heart is only nervous.
The difference between three meters and four and a half meters is not small, not to mention, the scales of this mutant fathead fish look like iron armor, and its defense power should not be lost to a bulletproof vest composed of Kevlar fiber and ceramic pieces.
Holding the two daggers in his hands, Qi Lin tread the water with both feet, and at the same time, his body began to shake in waves, and he quickly rushed towards the mutant fathead fish.
The target is the eyes on both sides of the fathead fish's head, the length of the dagger is twenty centimeters, and the width of the mutated fathead fish's body is less than one meter, and it should be able to touch the brain inside if pierced from the eye!
Seeing that his prey actually swam towards him instead, the mutated fathead fish opened its big mouth, revealing countless small dagger-like fangs, the fins flicked, and the mutant fathead fish rushed towards him at a faster speed than Qi Lin.
"Let's eat a fish head feast today!" Qi Lin's body moved half a meter to the right, the dagger in his left hand was aimed at the sharp teeth of the fathead fish, and the dagger in his right hand was directly pierced into the left eye of the fathead fish!
"Ding!" There was a muffled sound in the water, and Qi Lin only felt a strong force coming from his left hand, and the dagger almost came out of his hand-
The sharp fish teeth and Damascus steel came with a wave of frontal stiffness, directly cutting off three sharp fangs, and the blade of the dagger also jumped out of a gap.
The dagger in his right hand pierced straight into the left eye of the fathead fish, Qi Lin stirred the dagger in his hand vigorously, and then was thrown out by the fathead fish who was in pain, and at the same time, the sharp fins cut a long hole in his leg.
"I'm still not used to fighting in the water...... Qi Lin struggled to swim a few meters back, dodging the attack of the frenzied fathead fish, while the wound on his leg began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The mutant fathead fish twitched, gradually stabilized its body, and then turned its head and bit Qi Lin again!
Glancing at the battle information, Qi Lin couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Grass! It's all a stab at the brain, right? Only 600 damage? ”
Sharp Tooth hurriedly used the dagger to block again, but the reason for the resistance in the water caused Qi Lin's movements to slow down, and the tip of the dagger was pressed against the fish scales, and was shocked by the mutant fat-headed fish, and the tiger's mouth hurt, and the dagger fell straight into the deep water.
Losing the dagger in his left hand, Qi Lin could only retract with his feet, kick on the head of the fish, and with the help of the reaction force, he distanced himself from the fat-headed fish.
According to the attack at the beginning, he calculated that the fathead fish's blood volume should be around 1500 points, not even the lowest F-level BOSS, it can only be regarded as an ordinary elite monster, however, in this special scene in the water, the strength of this mutant fathead fish is not inferior to the boss at all.
Seeing Qi Lin retreating, the fathead fish immediately chased after him, but at this time, Qi Lin kept rushing towards the fat head fish's wide open mouth, supporting the fat head fish's chin with one hand, although the sharp teeth penetrated the palm, Qi Lin was unmoved, and at the same time, the dagger in the other hand stabbed fiercely into the fragile upper jaw in the fish's mouth!
“231!”
“199!”
“407!”
Qi Lin quickly stabbed three times in a row, and the last knife finally found the key point, successfully emptying the remaining blood bars of the mutant fathead fish.
As the body of the fathead fish slowly sank, Qi Lin looked at his left hand, which was pierced by the sharp teeth of the fathead fish with a row of blood holes, however, these blood holes were constantly shrinking, and soon new muscle tissue grew underneath, and at the same time, the surface of the wound began to scab over rapidly
"Evolutionary...... It's a terrible ability......"
……
The reward for the four-star mission was naturally very generous, and when Qi Lin came up from the lake, the nameless zombie had somehow pulled out a rusty, fist-sized mechanical device.
"Obtain the item [Mechanical Parts HK7], purple quality items, this seems to be the core component of a large machine, the specific purpose is unknown."
Purple quality unknown item? Qi Lin was stunned, the purple quality item he saw last time was still the Corpse King Serum that transformed himself into an evolutionary, and now the reward for this task is actually a purple item?!
