Qi Lin followed the two men through a long tunnel, and only after passing through six sentry posts was he able to truly enter the interior of this stronghold.

"Welcome to Noah's Ark." An extremely lively tone sounded beside Qi Lin, a thin young man with messy hair like a chicken nest on his head, but he was wearing an almost spotless tight suit...... Qi Lin just glanced at him, and he had already recognized the identity of this guy, and the information he had seen in that list also resurfaced in Qi Lin's mind.

"Lin Que, a 22-year-old Chinese, a freelance mercenary, was considered a target by the coalition forces because he was stationed in the target shelter at the beginning of the purge. Level 3 Evolutionary, Main Evolution Direction: Agility. Special ability: Sprinting. Good at detection, infiltration and ......"

"Ha, I guess you're the 'expert' invited by the mysterious boss, right?" Lin Que walked to Qi Lin with a smile, reached out and patted Qi Lin's arm, but at this moment, Qi Lin suddenly grabbed Lin Que's wrist and twisted it directly to the other party's back, and at the same time kicked Lin Que's knee socket, forcibly making him kneel on the ground.

This sudden change immediately startled several members of free will around them, but just as they reached out to touch the gun, there was a "click", and a pistol magazine fell out of Lin Que's sleeve.

Qi Lin let go of Lin Que, picked up the pistol magazine, and then pulled out the pistol on his waist and inserted the magazine into it.

"Hey...... Itchy hands...... Lin Que stood up from the ground, scratched the back of his head, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "Dude's reaction speed is good, although the other guys can also detect it at the first time, but you are really the first to be able to restrain me so quickly." ”

Seeing that it was just a joke made by Lin Que, several people around them were relieved, and the person who came in with Qi Lin gave Lin Que a fierce look, and said solemnly: "Lin Que, you'd better stop playing your little tricks, otherwise someone will break your hands and feet——"

"It's okay if you have broken hands and feet, and you can install a mechanical arm like you...... Wow, that's really cool. Lin Que glanced at the other party's mechanical prosthetic limb, and said with a smile.

"You'd better be careful with me."

"What can you do to me? You know the rules of this place...... And, the main problem is that you can't beat me. ”

The man didn't say anything about Lin Que's ridicule, just looked at him with extreme disgust, then turned to Qi Lin and said, "My task is complete, Lin Que will take you to the meeting place, just follow him." ”

"Come with me." Lin Que said that for Qi Lin, his cynical character had been restrained a lot.

In fact, Qi Lin didn't keep his hand much just now, that power was placed on ordinary people, and his wrist had already been twisted and dislocated, but when Qi Lin grabbed Lin Que's wrist, there was a soft and boneless feeling from above, if it weren't for Qi Lin's strength being strong enough, I am afraid that Lin Que would have broken free.

However, when Lin Que's arm twisted over, a large part of the power he exerted on Lin Que was also unloaded by the other party in an extremely ingenious way.

If Qi Lin didn't guess wrong, this Lin Que should still have mastered jiu-jitsu such as bone shrinking skills.

"We've been waiting for you for a long time, you're late." Lin Que said while taking Qi Lin through the passage.

"There was a little bit of a situation on the road."

The two of them quickly crossed the outer area of the stronghold, and entered a place similar to the airport departure hall, a large number of sleeping bags were spread all over the hall, many people sat on the ground, some were eating, some were gathering in twos and threes to talk about something, and some people were doing nothing, just staring blankly at the lights on the zenith.

"These are refugees of free will." Lin Que said to Qi Lin, and then lowered his voice a little, "Actually...... According to me, these people should be thrown into the wasteland, they are of no use except for wasting limited resources......"

This was the time of free will to distribute food to the refugees, and thanks to the soldiers with loaded guns watching, the distribution process was quite orderly, and there was no looting or fighting.

Qi Lin noticed that the only supplies available to each person were a solid dough the size of a baby's fist and unfermented, a small bag of salt, two vitamin tablets, and a 200-milliliter bottle of fresh water with some unknown sediment at the bottom of the bottle.

"Is this the size of a meal?"

"No, it's a day's ration, and the next distribution will be tomorrow, to be honest, the supplies are really scarce right now, and we even have to send people to the nearby abandoned city to collect things that can still be used." Lin Que replied.

Many of those who lined up to receive the supplies were dressed in expensive and elaborate costumes, although most of them were dirty and torn, but as can be seen from the trinkets made of precious stones and precious metals, these people were once definitely members of the upper class of the Vault, but now they looked sluggish and numb, and did not complain about this pitiful and extremely difficult to swallow material, and seemed to have accepted the reality of the moment.

Some people began to break the dough into small pieces with their fingers and put it into their mouths, while others carefully hid the dough in their sleeping bags, swallowed only two vitamin tablets, and drank a small sip of water.

These people had pale faces, dry and chapped lips, and their movements were very slow and sluggish—although Lin Que had spoken a bit excessively, in fact there was nothing wrong with what he said, and Qi Lin was also very puzzled why free will would choose to contain these survivors, and waste a lot of supplies on them.

In his impression, whether it is the first mastermind or the second mastermind, although their codes of conduct are completely different, they undoubtedly put interests and efficiency first, and things without value are not even as good as garbage in the eyes of the mastermind...... And this group of refugees, to be honest, Qi Lin really can't imagine what kind of value they can create for the mastermind.

"Let's hurry up, this place really stinks to be honest, worse than the dark streets in the slums of the Vault." Looking at these survivors, Lin Que's eyes were full of disgust and disgust, as he said, there was an indescribable stench in the entire hall - there were only four toilets in total, and the number of survivors gathered in the hall was estimated to be more than 10,000 people, and many people who couldn't wait could only solve their "personal problems" on the spot, coupled with the evaporation of sweat and various body odors that were dispersed, these smells were mixed together, and they drilled into Qi Lin's nose one by one...... This lethality is no weaker than the toxic gas in the slum tunnel.

After glancing at the survivors in the hall twice, Qi Lin nodded, acquiesced to Lin Que's statement, and followed the latter quickly through the aisle in the center of the hall and walked to the other end of the hall.

In the corner at the end of the hall is a spiral staircase, according to Lin Que's introduction to Qi Lin, from this staircase you can go up to the huge oval roof, under which a large number of electromagnetic interference equipment and defensive weapons are installed to protect the security of the stronghold, and from the staircase down, is the underground part leading to the stronghold.

Lin Que took Qi Lin and walked down, and the sentries who were walking back and forth in the stairwell all silently got out of the way after seeing Lin Que, and did not take the initiative to come up to investigate.

"Who's in charge of this stronghold now?" Qi Lin asked with some curiosity.

"That mysterious 'big boss', we all call him 'BOSS', but he never really shows up, so we don't know who he really is." Lin Que shrugged his shoulders and said.

Of course, Qi Lin knew that this boss was referring to the second mastermind, and it was naturally impossible for it to tell these people its true identity, but if it was only by relying on the mastermind to issue orders remotely, the order in this stronghold could not be maintained so well, after all, it was people who really managed this stronghold, not just a few instructions from the mastermind.

"Oh...... I know what you mean, you're asking who is the one in this stronghold besides the boss, right? That would be Harvis's boss, the big guy, and the little kid. ”

Harvey Qi Lin knows, the former first special forces instructor of the sixth district, one of Qin's henchmen, as for the big guy, it should refer to the cyborg 0592, but the "little kid"...... In Qi Lin's impression, there were no minors on that list......

Wait...... "You said that...... Shouldn't it be Ayakui? ”

"Oh? Do you know her? To be honest, I suggest you better not mess with this little brat, she doesn't look very old, she is not easy to bully at all, last time I wanted to touch her breasts, but before my hand touched it, she was directly lifted up by her mind, fell on the concrete floor, and broke several ribs......"

"I think so......" Qi Lin glanced at Lin Que with an extremely complicated expression, and said in a deep voice.

"Huh? What do you think? ”

"She didn't screw your head off directly, she was already very restrained in her temper......"

“…… You and her...... Know? ”

Qi Lin also spoke, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

"Okay, but I really just wanted to make a joke." Lin Que spread his hands, indicating that he had no malicious intent.

"That can only mean that you are lucky, and your life is great...... By the way, apart from Ayakui, is there another girl......"

"I know what you're asking, is it the sick guy who spends a lot of time with the little kids? The face is very pale, like a piece of paper, but a pair of eyes are red like a girl who is about to drip blood? She is very good-looking, but she talks very little, barely communicates with anyone except the little kid, and she often sleeps in a portable life support pod, and we rarely see her a few times. Lin Que said.

"Yes, that's her, is she here now?" Qi Lin nodded.

"It was still there the day before yesterday, but it was picked up yesterday."

"Picked up? Where did it go? ”

"I don't know, this is the boss's request, and her name has been crossed off the action list."

"Oh, I see......" Although he was a little disappointed not to see Song Xiaodie, Qi Lin knew that the mastermind had taken Song Xiaodie to another safer stronghold, which was also the request he had made to the mastermind before.

As Song Xiaodie's replacement, "Cheng Yanqiu", who has completely transformed into a biochemical monster, will participate in this operation.

Of course, the three words Cheng Yanqiu will not appear on the list, and there is only one cold number on the list - "F0905".

Lin Que had been taking Qi Lin to an underground conference room, on the sofa in the conference room, there were already several people sitting, Lin Que left after dropping the next sentence "I'll inform Boss Harveys, you can say hello to them first".

"Yo? Here come the experts. A familiar voice rang out, and George, who was sitting in the corner, waved his hand at Qi Lin.

"You're the 'expert' the boss says it is? It doesn't look like it's awesome, is it? The second speaker was a muscular man in a tight black vest with a can of beer in his hand and several empty cans at his feet.

"Bruce, a native of the United States, 20 years old, a free mercenary, a fourth-level evolutionary, the main evolution direction: strength. When the ability is exerted to the extreme, it can have the power of a fifth-level evolutionary.,Before the Great Purge, he was employed by the Blackbird Consortium.,Now it's a member of free will.,Alcoholic.,Lustful.,Temperament.,Slight drug addiction.。 ”

Information about this strong man flashed in Qi Lin's mind, if you only talk about hand-to-hand combat ability, this Bruce should be the strongest one on the list besides Qi Lin, 0592 and George after transforming into a werewolf, and even Harvey is probably not his opponent.

On the couch opposite Bruce was a slender Goryeo woman, who seemed to be completely unaware of Qi Lin's arrival, and her full attention was on the tablet in her hand, five slender fingers constantly tapping rapidly on the screen.

"Kang Sun-yeon, Korean, female, 30 years old, deputy director of the information and intelligence department of the former organization, top hacker, second-level evolutionary ......"

“elcome！” A black man with dreadlocks grinned at Qi Lin, revealing a mouthful of dazzling white teeth...... Although there has always been face blindness for the black Qi Lin, the iconic large-scale tattoos on this guy still made Qi Lin recognize.

"Akon, a Congolese, 37 years old, tribal hunter, participated in World War III as a guide, and later joined the Beiling Foundation, one of the early members of free will, a third-level evolutionary......"
