"What about the quality of the gasoline?" Qi Lin asked, the quality of the gasoline determines the power of the vehicle, and the gasoline he found in the club before was of the highest quality, but he couldn't guarantee that the gasoline stored by these thugs was also the same goods.

In particular, this kind of motorcycle engine that has been modified is very picky about fuel, and if the purity of the gasoline is not up to standard or if it is mixed with sediment, it is easy to cause engine damage.

"You can inspect the goods." Ivan said.

Qi Lin was not polite, he directly brought a bucket up, unscrewed the cap, and looked into the oil barrel.

As they say, there is about two-thirds of the gasoline left in the barrel, but it looks very clear and there is not much sediment at the bottom, so it is clearly a good product.

"I need twenty liters of gasoline."

"Yes, but as we said, you have to take us to the safe haven of Free Will."

"I can't carry six people on my motorcycle...... I have another way, though. Qi Lin said after pondering for a while.

"What's the solution?"

"You can find a car and drive over, just remove the obstacles from the road and walk along the outskirts of the city, and it shouldn't be a big problem."

"What are you kidding? Where do you let us go to find the car? Ivan's face was slightly displeased.

"Cars...... Isn't it everywhere here? ”

"As I said, we've tried all of these cars, and none of them can be driven, otherwise, we wouldn't continue to stay in this hellish place!"

"And have you tried to fix the cars that don't work?"

"This ......," Ivan was speechless.

Gendarmes are different from ordinary soldiers, the skills they need to learn are almost all things that are difficult to come in handy in actual combat, not that the gendarmes are not strong in combat, but their comprehensive skills are not as good as regular troops, as for people like Qi Lin, who were born as mercenaries and have received systematic special forces training, it is even more different.

Qi Lin guessed correctly...... None of the six gendarmes knew how to repair cars......

Auto repair this skill is not to mention the special forces, any soldier must have mastered, after all, the vehicle is an important tool for the transfer of personnel and materials, if something breaks down on the road, and it happens that the repairman in the team is not there or killed, no one can repair the car, then it is basically cold.

Especially in those urban battlefields where vehicles are used a lot, auto repair can be said to be second only to the skill of driving.

……

Qi Lin and Ivan took two turns on the road full of abandoned cars, and finally chose a Range Rover with a relatively well-preserved casing - in fact, a large number of these scrapped cars were just parked for too long, with a mixture of dust and oil clogging engine pistons and fuel pipes, or small problems such as deformed tires and depleted batteries.

"Fortunately, I got some tools from that club...... Qi Lin opened his backpack, found a bunch of repair tools from it, and then lifted the hood of the car.

The quality of this Range Rover is not bad, there is no problem with the tires, Qi Lin just cleaned the engine, and then adjusted the power of a nuclear battery and connected it to the car's own battery, when the fourth poured gasoline into the fuel tank, the Range Rover was quickly started.

Seeing that the car was started, Ivan and the others had already dispelled most of Qi Lin's wariness, at least, their hands would not subconsciously put on the gun.

"Are you riding in this car with us? Or are we following you? Ivan walked around the Land Rover and asked Qi Lin.

"No, I can't go with you."

"Why?! Aren't you going to that stronghold too? Ivan and the others were puzzled.

"I have urgent information to send back, and in a hurry, I'm walking through an underground tunnel, where there are a lot of mutated creatures, and the danger is much higher than on the surface...... And, one of the most critical problems is that the car won't get in. Qi Lin said.

The reason why he didn't want to go with Ivan and the others was mainly because he was afraid that they would slow him down, although the Land Rover's horsepower was very strong, but it was also difficult to move an inch inside the city that was blocked everywhere, and they could only travel around the edge of the city, and they needed to go around a large circle.

"And how are we going to get there?" Ivan pondered for a while, but he didn't mean to insist that Qi Lin lead the way.

"Here's the map." Qi Lin took out the map provided by the main brain from his pocket, and he had written down all the information on the map, even if he didn't look at it, he could copy the content of the map in his head anytime and anywhere - besides, after leaving the interference zone and restoring communication with the main brain, the real-time dynamic map provided by the main brain was far more useful than this emergency product.

"We are in this position now...... Intersection of Route 35 and Route 16. Qi Lin spread out the map in front of Ivan and the others, pointed to a dot on it and said.

"Here's ...... Is that the safe haven of 'free will'? Ivan asked, seeing at a glance the red circle on the map.

"Yes." Qi Lin nodded, "You can drive along this route—" Qi Lin took out his pen and drew a large circle along the edge of the abandoned city.

"According to my calculations, you should have plenty of gas to spare when you arrive at the base, as long as you don't go the wrong way."

"Got it, so we'll leave now?"

"Wait a minute." Qi Lin hesitated, but still told Ivan and the others about the monitoring satellite and the time to avoid the satellite.

The gendarmes were shocked that there were still satellites in the sky that could be used, but they were relieved when they learned that they belonged to the masterminds.

"I'll tell you this, don't say anything else, we'll be brothers in the future!" Ivan smiled and patted Qi Lin's shoulder.

"Or you special forces people know a lot, we who are military policemen, come to the surface of the ground is simply black-eyed, we don't know anything, if we don't meet you, it is estimated that even if we can survive in this place, sooner or later we will have to be discovered by satellites." The fourth said.

In fact, the reason why Qi Lin told them this was also because he was afraid that their whereabouts would be captured by satellites, and if they were killed directly, it would be okay to say, but he was afraid that the mastermind did not do it, but used them to find the stronghold of free will, which would be a big trouble.

"There is a specialization in the art industry...... After all, that's what I eat. Qi Lin said with a smile.

"Specializing in fart, everything we learn is used against our own people...... Look at this shot, the fucking nine-millimeter bullets tickle those monsters, but luckily the fourth was clever enough to pick up a handful of large-caliber gadgets from the corpses of the slain coalition soldiers, otherwise we would still be being chased around the rubble by those monsters—" Ivan spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, and then stuffed the remaining barrels of gasoline into the car.

"Okay, let's not say anything, didn't you say that you were in a hurry, then we will meet again in the future."

"See you soon!" Qi Lin waved his hand at the gendarmes and ran in the direction of the subway tunnel with gasoline, while Ivan and the others also got into the Land Rover and drove out in the other direction.

……

It wasn't until Qi Lin disappeared into the Land Rover's rearview mirror that the fourth child suddenly turned his head and asked Ivan: "Brother Ivan, what do you think that guy ...... Is it really reliable? Could he be lying to us? ”

"Liar? Do you think that guy needs to lie to us? ”

"What do you mean?"

"I'll tell you the truth...... The guy ...... It's not a special forces guy from the 6th district at all! Ivan said as he drove the car.

"What?"

"I've seen those guys in the special forces of the sixth district, they have a special tattoo below their neck, near their collarbone, I deliberately observed when that guy squatted down to clean the exhaust pipe just now, he doesn't have that kind of tattoo on his body at all!"

"Maybe it's washed off? After all, people like them who have to perform special tasks, it will be very inconvenient to have such a tattoo on their body, right? Another gendarme, sitting in the back seat, asked.

"Even if it's right...... Do you know how strong he is? ”

"How strong?"

"Let's put it this way...... How can I say that he is also the strongest one among us, the second-level top-level evolutionary has already touched the threshold of the third-level, and it is just a serum or an opportunity to break through, but in my opinion, that guy's strength is simply unfathomable, this feeling, the stronger his own strength, the clearer the feeling...... That's why I didn't object to that guy when he asked to change the conditions, and to be honest, I suspect he could even kill us all in an instant, but he didn't. There was a hint of fear in Ivan's tone.

"Could it be that he is a fourth-level evolutionary?!"

"Quite possibly...... People who don't have any skills, do you think you dare to act alone in the wasteland? If it were you, and you were given the same equipment as that guy, would you dare to go to that stronghold alone? ”

"Don't dare—" The gendarme shook his head like a rattle.

Among the six of them, only Ivan and the fourth are evolutionaries, Ivan is the second level, and the fourth is the first level, if it weren't for the combat effectiveness of the two of them, these gendarmes would have turned into the feces of those mutated creatures as soon as they arrived on the surface - no, to be precise, it is likely that they would not even be able to get out of the shelter.

……

……

Qi Lin returned to the subway tunnel with gasoline, and after filling up the gas tank, he jumped on the motorcycle and tightened the accelerator to the maximum - now that the fuel problem had been solved, he had to rush to the rendezvous as fast as possible, and he had wasted enough time......

……

……

Eight hours later.

Judging by the time of 7:05 on the watch, it should have been morning, but the canopy was getting darker and darker, and the inky color seemed to drip down at any moment, dyeing the whole barren wasteland black.

Qi Lin had already abandoned the vehicle and began to trek on foot on the wasteland, and he also told Ivan and the others that the last leg of the road must be abandoned to avoid leaving too obvious traces on the wasteland.

The shaped energy vortex rotated at a constant speed, and Qi Lin trotted quickly, although his speed was comparable to the speed of the 100-meter sprint of the Olympic sprint champion in the old era, but for him, this speed was also slightly faster than that of the scatter, he didn't even need to accelerate the shaped energy vortex, just relying on the strength provided by muscles and bones to make this level of running.

The stronghold of free will soon came into view of Qi Lin - it was a semi-underground structure, the ground part of which presented an oval roof, more than 400 meters long and 200 meters wide, covered with a layer of earth and stone used for camouflage, and from the observation cameras of the satellite, the place was only a small hill.

According to the time, Ivan and the others should not have entered the wasteland by now, and Qi Lin naturally couldn't wait for them, and when he ran to five hundred meters away from the free will stronghold, Qi Lin stopped-the mastermind had already sent the news, and he just needed to wait for the people in the stronghold to pick him up.

The free-will people didn't let Qi Lin wait long, and soon, two people wearing earthy yellow camouflage cloaks suddenly appeared from not far away and beckoned to Qi Lin who was sitting behind a large rock.

"It's so cautious......"

Qi Lin complained silently in his heart and walked towards the two of them.

After receiving the password, the two took Qi Lin in a small circle and went around to the back of a mound where there was a camouflaged entrance.

"By the way, I met six survivors of the Great Purge in the abandoned city, and they are also coming this way now, and your entrance is so hidden, I'm a little worried that they won't find it."

"It's okay, there are a lot of hidden cameras outside, if anyone approaches here, our people will find out as soon as possible, and after confirming their identity, someone will pick them up." A responder said to Qi Lin, a young man who looked less than twenty years old, with a light white scar on the bridge of his nose, and Qi Lin noticed that his right arm holding the gun was a mechanical prosthetic, and his left hand had only three fingers, the thumb, index finger, and middle finger.

"Are you a member of free will?" As he walked along the passage, Qi Lin asked.

"Now it's counted."

"So, wasn't it before?"

"Before? In the past, I wasn't interested in doing this kind of work that would lose my head at any time, but now the problem is that if I don't do it, I will lose my head, so I can't help it. The answerer shrugged his shoulders and said.
