When Qi Lin returned to his residence, Song Xiaodie had almost cleaned up the blood stains on the ground, although there was still a faint smell of blood in the air, but under the washing of a large amount of fresh air, this smell was also quickly fading.

Qi Lin looked at his watch, there were still four hours before the time he and Aya Aoi had agreed upon.

Since the launch of Wasteland Survival Code, Qi Lin has spent most of his time immersed in the game, and he has almost forgotten how he used to spend his free time.

Among the shelters, loneliness is the most unbearable – so some choose violence, some choose alcohol, and some choose sex...... Human desires need an outlet to vent, otherwise, trapped in the underground world that has not seen the light of day for many years, in the face of scarce materials and turbid air, no matter how optimistic people are, they will feel that the air is full of suffocating depression.

Qi Lin thought for a moment, suddenly pulled out a small wooden box from a box, and said to Song Xiaodie, "Fluttershy, are you here to play chess?" ”

"Huh?" Song Xiaodie was stunned, and nodded a little unknowingly, "Okay...... What chess? ”

"Chess, Go, Military Chess...... Both. Qi Lin opened the wooden box, and inside it were small wooden blocks engraved with words, as well as hand-painted chessboards - once, he and Xiao Lei relied on these simple things to relieve the loneliness of life in the shelter.

"These ...... I...... I won't......"

Looking at the chess pieces, Song Xiaodie showed a hint of embarrassment in embarrassment.

Qi Lin scratched his head, Song Xiaodie was not unreasonable, in the old days, this kind of table game based on war was mostly male players.

"So what will you play? I've got a lot of blank pieces here—"

"Flying chess ......" Song Xiaodie's ten fingers twisted together, and her little face suddenly became like a ripe apple.

……

……

Thirty minutes later, watching Song Xiaodie move the last piece to the end, Qi Lin looked at his base, where there were still three pieces that belonged to him, motionless.

Damn, this girl's luck is a little bit good, right?

In the real world, the two of them have not yet controlled their power to the extent that they can control the last point on the upward side when the dice are shot, but every time Song Xiaodie makes a shot, it is basically a big point of five or six points - the only time it is a little bit, because the square in front of her chess piece happens to be a plane under Qi Lin that has just left the base, and before she can soar in the sky, she was "shot down" by Song Xiaodie and sent back to the base.

"Don't play, don't play, it's too sadistic." Qi Lin stood up with a shout and stretched.

“…… It's a lot of fun. Song Xiaodie put away the chessboard with a somewhat cute expression.

"yes, it's fun...... Ahem......" Qi Lin said something extremely contrary to his will, took the box handed by Song Xiaodie, and put away the chess pieces.

"Don't mention this, anyway, what are you going to do in the future?" Qi Lin sat on the hatch of the game cabin and changed to a more serious question.

"Later?" Song Xiaodie tilted her head and thought for a while before saying, "Thunder City can hold on for a while, if Thunder City is attacked by mutant creatures, I should choose to leave, and then choose to level up alone...... I'm not very good at teaming up with strangers......"

"No, it's not in the game, I'm asking you about real-world things." Qi Lin shook his head, and the depths of his eyes revealed a trace of confusion and yearning.

"The real world?"

"The supplies in the shelter won't last long, you know - according to the news from the black market, some shelters in the Central African region that are not very abundant and have a large number of people have begun to collapse on a large scale, although the Huaxia region is a little better, but it will definitely not last a few years, four or five years at most, and the consumption and output of materials are estimated to be almost out of gear...... At that time, it should be time for the doors of the shelter to open. ”

"The door to the shelter opens...... Song Xiaodie repeated thoughtfully, "so are we going to the ground......

"Yes, I guess the situation on the ground will be harsher and more tragic than in the game now, and the gap between the rich and the poor will become even greater."

Due to the limitations of the mastermind, when the game is launched, it is already the limit that players in the rich area can exchange for a modern equipment and a car, and only a big guy like Thunder can exchange it for the heart of the city - but what if it is in reality? The heart of the city, with the financial resources of those big conglomerates, is basically not a problem to buy a dozen, as for weapons, to arm their private army from beginning to end to the teeth, it is estimated that there is still a lot left.

And those poor people who are still a problem to maintain food and clothing can be imagined in the end - either they will be reduced to cheap labor in factories and mines, or they will become cannon fodder at the forefront of the battle between big corporations and mutated creatures, and at that time, the last fig leaf of human civilization and society will probably be completely torn off, and it may regress to the slavery system of thousands of years ago.

But unlike the slave era and the feudal era, when the level of science and technology was backward, as long as there were enough rebels gathered together, with the tactics of crowds, it was still possible to overthrow those in power sitting in high positions, and now, after mastering the advanced level of science and technology, those in power are absolutely powerless to resist only by the strength of ordinary people.

If nothing else, the difference in equipment is obvious: one side uses the same old-fashioned equipment from a hundred years ago, and even can't even use a gun, while the other side, as long as it sends a few soldiers wearing power armor, can easily slaughter dozens of times the number of enemies on its own.

Thinking of this, Qi Lin couldn't help but set his eyes on the game cabin - "However, this thing may be able to change our fate. ”

"That...... Do you mean that the game pod makes us stronger? Song Xiaodie asked.

"Well, I guess, this stat bonus is just the tip of the iceberg - if those theories in the game world are true, then the human body is a completely unexplored treasure trove, have you ever heard the saying, 'The rich rely on technology, the poor rely on mutation'-"

"I think I've heard of it...... This sentence is used to make fun of those superhero movies of the old days......"

"If when the time comes, when the door of the shelter opens, we can truly become evolutionaries, I guess we will have the ability to take our destiny into our own hands." Qi Lin said.

"But...... Can you really evolve without serum? Song Xiaodie was a little puzzled, although her strength is much greater now than it was at the beginning, but compared to those abilities in the game, there is still a significant gap.

"No, I don't need serum, I think I understand the mastermind's plan a little, this is a 'cheap and universal' way of evolution, although the effect is not as immediate as the direct fusion of mutated genes, but this method slowly promotes the human body to evolve itself, the cost is negligible, and the safety is relatively high. Don't look at us that we have only added a few basic attributes now, but when quantitative change causes qualitative change, we can also reach the level of an evolutionary. ”

But why would the mastermind do this? In this case, wouldn't the interests of those big conglomerates be threatened? Song Xiaodie is not a person who does not understand anything, and she can see the key to this problem at a glance.

"The mastermind has never been with those big conglomerates, it has its own set of algorithms, as far as I know, in its rules, the first one is to 'improve the continuity of the human race', but whether it is rich or poor, it is all human beings, instead of putting all the bets on those guys in the rich area, the mastermind this time chose to divide the apples into several different baskets."
