Just when Qi Lin was killing heartily in the black tide, Cheng Yanqiu suddenly received an encrypted message from within the Cheng family, after he silently read this message, his face changed instantly, and after a few simple words of explanation to Hei Kui who was standing on the side, he hurriedly ran down the city wall, found a safe place, opened the brain, and clicked the option of "quit the game".

……

Waking up from the game, Cheng Yanqiu wiped his face casually, and then turned over and jumped out of the game cabin - the place where the game cabin was located was a large room with dim light, and in this room, in addition to the game cabin used by Cheng Yanqiu, there were dozens of other game cabins of the same style, lined up against the yellowed wall.

More than half of the dozens of pods are flashing lights, which means that there is a player immersed in the virtual world of Wasteland Survival Code.

This is an "Internet café".

However, this Internet café is different from the Internet cafes of the old era, there is no computer, no mouse and keyboard, not even a cashier and a network administrator, only a half-new game pod, and the only game that can be played is "Wasteland Survival Rules".

This is a facility specially prepared for those who are away from home and cannot use their own game pods to log in to the game, and the cost of using these game pods will be deducted directly from the player's personal account - compared to the Internet cafes in the old days, which often cost eight or nine yuan per hour, the price here is much cheaper, five resource points, you can use the game pod for 24 hours, and it also comes with the same nutrient solution as an adult's body needs for a day.

Walking out of the Internet café, Cheng Yanqiu looked overhead - the intricate metal suspension rails constitute the unique "scenery" of the middle area, whenever a suspended rail car passes by, the metal suspension rail will make a creaking sound, which makes people a little worried about whether the suspension rail, which is only ten centimeters wide, will suddenly break because it cannot withstand the rail car that is stuffed with people.

This kind of accident is not unprecedented, even if it is a shelter, it is impossible to completely avoid the problem of "tofu slag project" when it is built, there was once a shelter where the suspension rail steel quality was substandard, and suddenly fell off after less than a year of operation, causing a medium-sized suspended rail car to fall from a height of 60 meters - the accident caused more than 100 deaths and more than 300 injuries, but because there was no head and face among the dead and wounded, The company that supplied the steel has long since disintegrated, and the matter has to be closed.

As for the people responsible for the procurement of steel - this kind of position, but they are all fat, and the people who can do it are basically covered by people behind them, and it is simply a joke to want them to be responsible for the more than 100 deceased.

There are no courts in the Vault that allow ordinary people to appeal, and there is no news media that disseminates and directs public opinion – to put it bluntly, this is a society bordering on dictatorship, and the dictator is the mastermind who controls the operation of all the shelter systems and the corporations and gatekeepers who hold a lot of resources in their hands.

Vault 906.

This is a refuge built by the consortium alliance, and the ownership does not belong to any consortium, but belongs to the alliance, to put it bluntly, similar to the "neutral trade zone" in online games.

Such places tend to be prosperous, but they can also be chaotic, and the gathering of mixed groups of people has created a meeting point for all kinds of information and trade.

Vault 906 is next to Vault 909, which is controlled by the Cheng Consortium, and is also where Cheng Yanqiu often comes - since the last time something like that happened, Cheng Yanqiu has rarely logged into the game at his residence.

In fact, he has rarely stayed in the family since the lockdown order imposed on him within the family, and in reality his whereabouts are only known to his few cronies.

As soon as Cheng Yanqiu walked out of the Internet café for more than ten meters, a girl in a black sweatshirt and dyed silver-gray hair walked out quietly in the alley on the side and followed behind Cheng Yanqiu.

"45, is the news true?" Cheng Yanqiu suddenly stopped, sighed, and asked without looking back.

Properties.. The silver-gray haired girl nodded, although Cheng Yanqiu couldn't see her nodding at all.

"The news says that I am seriously ill, so it is estimated that by the time I go back, it should be too late." Cheng Yanqiu took out a cigarette, lit it, and smoked more than half of it in one sip.

The ...... girl didn't speak, she was just a soldier, and Cheng Yanqiu would do whatever she asked her to do.

Even if it's to die.

"If I go back now, I guess there should be ambushes everywhere in the house, right? I know them too well, they are no longer the same as before the war, and now, they prefer to solve problems directly with violence, anyway, as long as I die, the Cheng family will be theirs. ”

"We will protect you to the death." The girl said, her green fingers clenching the shoulder straps of the backpack slightly—in this large black nylon backpack lay a loaded UMP45 submachine gun, twelve magazines full of four or five ACP rounds, and four heavy defensive grenades.

"Hmm." Cheng Yanqiu threw the cigarette butt on the ground and gently extinguished it with the sole of his boot, "Although I knew that they were in a hurry, what I didn't expect was that they were in such a hurry...... 45, send the signal out, all assemble - by the way, Hei Kui didn't have to come, he has other tasks now. ”

"Understood."

The girl reached out and pressed it on her headphones, and said four words in a soft but murderous voice: "All assembled." ”

……

……

Vault 909, the headquarters of the Program Foundation, is also the foundation of the Cheng family.

There is no distinction between slums, middle, and rich areas in this refuge, but anyone who can live in this refuge is either surnamed Cheng, or someone who is related to the person surnamed Cheng, or someone who works for the Cheng family.

At this time, almost all the buildings in the Cheng family's main house, located in the center of Vault 909, were covered with white cloth - just fifteen minutes ago, Cheng Yanqiu's father, the current head of the Cheng family, died of a heart attack at the age of sixty-two.

Originally, with current medical technology, as long as the rescue of a sudden heart attack is timely, it will not be fatal at all, but due to the "negligence" of the caregiver who is responsible for taking care of the life of the head of the family, the head of the family who suddenly fell into a coma was not found in time, so the final rescue time was missed.

As for the caretakers, they were shot directly in front of the body of the head of the family with a pistol by Cheng Yanqiu's uncle due to excessive grief and anger as soon as the accident occurred.

At present, the chairman of the Cheng consortium is temporarily succeeded by Cheng Su, the elder brother of the former head of the family and the "acting head of the family" of the Cheng family

Of course, the above information was announced five minutes ago by the external spokesman of the Cheng consortium in an official tone, and Cheng Yanqiu, as the first heir of the Cheng consortium and the Cheng family, has not yet returned to the Cheng family, nor has he appeared in public, as if he has suddenly evaporated from the world.
