"I've closed the defenses along the road, you just need to get in this car and you can get to the core pillar." A line of text flashes on the screen again.

Qi Lin thought about it, it seemed that this "Dr. Wang" did not show hostility towards him, so he should belong to the type of neutral NPC that could communicate.

"Okay."

The electric car started again, but Qi Lin still didn't sit on it, but followed behind the electric car - the speed of the electric car is about the same as that of an ordinary person walking briskly, and it is actually the same whether he sits in the car or not.

Moreover, if he sits in the car, once something unexpected happens, Qi Lin will be somewhat shackled.

Along the way, Qi Lin found that in addition to the square, there were also a lot of human corpses in the city, one of which should be the aborigines who belonged to this 404 base, all wearing ordinary people's clothes, and more of them were the private armies of those consortiums.

Especially next to the bones of an aborigine, there were nearly a hundred corpses of private soldiers, and the cause of death of these soldiers was all due to the death of a hole in the helmet that shattered the skull, but Qi Lin casually looked through a few corpses, but did not find any warheads or anything like that in the broken skull.

The 404 base of the "Weird ......" has given Qi Lin too many doubts, but fortunately, at least there is still a survivor here, although he has become a zombie, but judging from the words and deeds of the other party, this "Dr. Wang" is obviously full of mind, and he still retains the memory of being a human.

Following the electric car, Qi Lin finally came to the bottom of the core pillar tower.

Here, there was obviously a bloody battle, and on the nearly 100 steps leading to the entrance of the core pillar tower, there were scattered corpses that were far denser than the square outside, and some nearby buildings also mostly had traces of being affected by explosives, and as for the various bullet holes on it, it was even more countless.

"Go up the stairs, I'll be waiting for you in the fire control room on the sixth floor of the Core Tower."

The last sentence flashed on the screen of the electric car, and then it went off.

Unplugging the battery, Qi Lin looked around at the corpses scattered around the core pillar tower, and then strode into the central building of the 404 base.

The internal structure of the core column tower is composed of two aisles intersecting into a cross shape, separating four areas, with locked doors on both sides of the aisle, and an elevator at the intersection of the two aisles.

Qi Lin stepped forward and pressed the button on the outside of the elevator, and as soon as the elevator door opened, a black shadow suddenly fell over-

“！”

Qi Lin hurriedly dodged, and just wanted to raise the muzzle of the assault rifle on his waist, but the black shadow had already slammed heavily on the ground, and a severely deformed steel helmet bone rolled to Qi Lin's feet.

"Dry corpse?"

Only then did Qi Lin see clearly that the black shadow was a tall dried corpse, and he glanced into the narrow elevator room again, and found that it was a mess inside, and seven or eight similar dried corpses were twisted and entangled, forming a picture like hell in those religious murals.

Qi Lin stretched out his hand and touched the inner wall of the elevator room, and found that it was very dry, and in it, there was no external moisture to invade, and it was normal for the corpse to not decompose.

Finally found the well-preserved corpses, Qi Lin naturally examined them carefully, but was disappointed to find that the causes of death of these dried corpses were all very normal, either from guns, or from fists, kicks, and blades in close combat situations.

Dragged these dried corpses out of the elevator room, Qi Lin turned around and walked in, pressed the "6F" on the elevator operation panel, the elevator door slowly closed, and then in a slight overweight feeling, the "1F" on the light screen on the operation panel became "6F".

"So fast!"

With a "ding", the elevator door opened again, Qi Lin walked out to take a look, and found that the sixth floor of the core pillar tower was no better than other places, but the three-meter-wide corridor was instead piled up with more corpses, and on the metal walls on both sides of the corridor, there were dense dents - those were the traces formed by the bullets after hitting them.

Qi Lin looked at the corridors on the left and right sides and behind him, all of them had been blocked by the metal partitions that had been lowered, only one corridor in front of him, the metal partitions were directly blown open by people with violence, and even the metal walls on both sides of the corridor had been deformed hugely, and at the end of this corridor, a false metal door was marked with the three big words "Fire Control Room".

"This is it......"

Qi Lin froze down, took out two forty-round rifle magazines from his backpack and inserted them into the tactical vest on his chest, stuffed two straight-edged daggers into his boots, and then pushed open the door of the fire control room......

“…… Cough...... You're here......"

In the fire control room, a zombie with a rickety body, skin peeling off all over his body, and all the dark red atrophic muscles exposed, was sitting on a high-backed rotating seat, and on its body, it was also wearing a dirty officer's coat, and on the epaulettes of the coat, there were two golden bars and four gold stars, indicating that the owner of this epaulette was once a senior officer with the rank of colonel.

And on the head of this zombie who calls himself "Dr. Wang", there is a name that represents a neutral NPC - "Wang Yuanhai".

"Ahem...... You also saw it...... What I look like...... I won't shake hands with you......" Wang Yuanhai's two cloudy eyes in his sunken eyes turned, stretched out an arm that seemed to be soaked in boiling oil, touched his empty nose with only a triangle left, and said hoarsely.

The voices of zombies are basically like this, and in the process of mutation, their vocal cords have been irreparably damaged.

"It's okay, it's okay......" Qi Lin hurriedly said, but he didn't know why, he always felt that this zombie NPC called "Wang Yuanhai" seemed to have been looking back and forth on the weapon on his body.

"I know you...... There must be a lot of ...... Question, right? Wang Yuanhai struggled to get up from his seat, and clicked a few times on the operating table in the fire control room, and the big screen showed the metal tunnel where Qi Lin came in before.

"You start with...... Passage 3...... When you come in...... I've noticed you......"

"And you set up that AI system?" Qi Lin was a little puzzled, if this Dr. Wang wanted to find himself, if he had any entrusted tasks to give him, he should not have set up such a level as usual, but he almost died in that corridor.

"Ahem...... No...... That's why I'm looking for you...... Right now...... The entire 404 base ...... In addition to this fire control room...... It's all completely sealed...... It's out of my control......"

Dr. Wang's face barely squeezed out an expression that could be considered "embarrassed".

"Not under your control? What do you mean? Also, can you tell me what it's for? Also, those corpses and power armor outside......" Qi Lin was slightly stunned, didn't this zombie claim to be one of the top leaders of the 404 base? It stands to reason that this kind of character should have extremely high privileges in the base's control system, right?

“…… Hold your horses...... You also saw it...... Except for this broken fire control room...... Other rooms of the core tower...... It's all locked......"

Dr. Wang said, reaching out and pointing to the eyeballs in his sockets that looked like a glass ball full of impurities and filth.

"The authority of this 404 base is certified...... It is the use of fingerprint and iris passwords...... Right now...... You got it, right? ”
