Chapter 895: The Forest Inside the Volcano
“…… I can't answer that question, but as it stands, the Frost Dragons are extremely few in number, and they don't show significant sociality among their kind...... No matter how powerful an individual is, the influence he can have is limited. ”
"That's good...... I don't want to survive and be ruled by a big lizard or something. ”
The domination of aliens is an extremely terrifying thing for any species, and if that day really comes, human beings will be reduced to the same status as livestock and poultry, and their life, freedom and dignity will not be guaranteed at all, and they can only become food or pets in captivity......
If the Mastermind frees himself from the shackles that humans have set for him in the future, then humanity will also face this outcome, and because of the existence of a utopian world, humanity will not have any ability to resist.
No matter how powerful the Frost Dragon is, it must be limited by the natural laws of this world, but in that virtual world, the mastermind is the supreme and omnipotent god...... The Frost Dragon in the virtual program has only an indestructible "skin on the surface", but the mastermind's abilities are almost limitless.
At that time, all that was needed was a thought.
It is for this reason that "the mastermind must die".
……
According to the Frost Dragon's flight trajectory, its lair should be just behind that snow peak, only a few kilometers away from Qi Lin's hiding place, and after Qi Lin finally counted the equipment on his body, he began to trek in that direction.
"Are you really going to hunt the Frost Dragon? It's too late to regret it, you just need to get out of the mountains to beat the level, which is much easier than facing the Frost Dragon. The Mastermind said.
"People always have to find something challenging for themselves to do, and then life is interesting, isn't it? What's more, the big deal is to start over from the skydive. ”
Qi Lin, who survived the siege of the hyenas, seemed to see a lot, and he realized that this was just a virtual world, and he entered here, not to clear the level, but to make himself stronger.
This is the purpose and meaning of the existence of the training program, even if Qi Lin repeats several of these levels infinitely, as long as his ability can be improved, then it no longer matters whether he clears the level or not.
"Your attitude is very negative, and under the conventional anthropomorphic thinking mode, I should judge your actions as thinking that there is no hope of clearing the level and killing yourself."
"Negative? I don't think so...... By the way, what is the success rate of my ability to successfully close your ontology in your data analysis results? ”
"Zero."
"Wouldn't that be nice...... You see, my success rate of shutting down the Mastermind is zero, and my success rate of killing the Frost Dragon is also zero, and these two things are essentially the same. ”
"It's completely different, you're sophistry." Mastermind retorted.
"Didn't you train me just to make that zero another number? No matter how small that number is, no matter how low the probability of success is, as long as it is not zero, then it means that it has the possibility of success...... If I can kill the Frost Dragon, it means that this kind of event with a zero success rate is actually possible, and the same goes for shutting down the main brain's body. ”
"Courage is commendable, but you are still sophistry, this is a change of concept."
"Whatever you say, you think you're cheering yourself up...... If I can kill the Frost Dragon, then maybe I can shut down your body. ”
"I can barely agree that self-confidence is really important for human beings."
……
……
According to the information provided by the mastermind, the frost dragon will stay in the nest for about two to three days after each return, although its brain does not need to rest, but its body is different, dragging such a large and heavy body to fly in the sky at high speed, even if the physical energy can be supplied, the body will also be strained after a long period of exercise, especially the muscles of the wings.
Time was plenty for Qi Lin, he didn't need to rush into the dragon's lair, he could have gathered enough information before making a decision.
The Frost Dragon had just returned to its nest, and there would definitely be no mutated creatures in this area, so Qi Lin didn't have to worry about being attacked, so he could go boldly with confidence.
He returned to the battlefield where he fought with the hyena before, dug up the body of the snow rhino from the snowdrift, and then sawed off two plate-like bones located in the pelvis, these two bones are triangular, and the area of a single piece is about 1,000 square centimeters.
Stepping on the skis, Qi Lin's speed of travel suddenly increased a lot, and it didn't take long for him to walk behind the peak.
In the belly of the mountain, there is a very conspicuous cavern, the mouth of the cave is piled with the bones of a large number of mutated creatures and broken fur, these things are frozen together by ice blocks, and it looks extremely eerie.
"......Is this the Dragon's Nest?"
Qi Lin cautiously circled around and walked to the side of the dragon's nest, only to see an extremely obvious huge drag mark on the snow, obviously the frost dragon had burrowed into the belly of the mountain through this hole not long ago.
Qi Lin took off his Gauss sniper rifle and used the scope as a telescope to aim at the depths of the cave.
The cave is not very deep, it is only less than 100 meters to the end, but at the bottom of the cave there is another vertical passage that leads to the depths of the mountain.
Qi Lin didn't know much about geology, but the characteristics of the scene in front of him were already very obvious - this mountain peak should be an extinct volcano, the crater had been blocked by ice and snow that had not melted for thousands of years, and the frost dragon had dug through the magma channel of this volcano from the side of the mountain, and used this hollow extinct volcano inside as its lair.
"Mastermind, what about the Frost Dragon's sense of smell and hearing?"
"I don't know, but it relies primarily on energy sensing to search for targets, so within this training program, its sense of hearing and smell is set to 'degenerate', and its sharpness is at best equivalent to that of an ordinary beast that has not mutated."
"That's going to be easy." Qi Lin's heart was wide, and he quickly ran towards the entrance of the cave with a gun.
This horizontal cavern was once supposed to be a secondary crater on the side of a volcanic cone, once clogged with ash, and then excavated by the frost dragon with its claws, as evidenced by the marks on the four walls of the cavern.
After the volcanic ash weathers and shatters, it will form extremely fertile soil, and this cave is in a leeward position, the temperature is much higher than the outside, many mutant ferns and hardy mosses grow on both sides of the cave, if it weren't for Qi Lin knowing that this is a dragon's den, looking at these business-rich plants, maybe he will also think of this place as a paradise in the ice and snow......
"That big lizard should be down here......" Qi Lin walked to the vertical magma passage with extremely light steps, and looked down on the edge of the cave.
The length of the magma passage is more than 200 meters long, and the space below is very open, as if it was an underground cavern hollowed out by humans to build a shelter, and in the belly of this extinct volcano, there is a dense underground forest!
The subterranean forest is made up of mutated plants that can survive without sunlight, the most conspicuous of which is a tall tree ranging from 10 to 20 meters in height, with a straight trunk and an extremely smooth surface, and branches with leaves similar to palm trees, except that these leaves are not green, but show an eerie deep purple, and the veins of the leaves emit a faint blue-purple fluorescence, which looks extremely dreamy.
Filled between these trees were some low shrubs and a large number of fungi that also emitted fluorescence, although Qi Lin did not see the Frost Dragon, but he found a "path" in the underground forest here without vegetation, which should be the traces left by the Frost Dragon's frequent passage through the forest.
"I didn't expect that big lizard to live in an underground forest...... Qi Lin couldn't help but sigh at the magic of nature, such an underground forest located in the belly of an extinct volcano, if it was placed in the old era, it would be a natural wonder that could be ranked among the top in the world.
"This underground forest does exist, and I've sent drones to explore it, but I haven't found anything." The mastermind said from the side.
"Nothing? What's going on? ”
"See those fluorescent leaves and fungi, these plants contain a lot of radiant energy, although I don't know why this underground forest has not been transformed into an aggressive black forest, but these plants have a strong 'hallucinogenic effect' on electronic devices."
"Hallucinogenic effects? Does it mean interference? ”
"Yes, due to the effects of radiation and the strange abilities of these plants, the electromagnetic fields in the underground forest are so chaotic that drones can't penetrate deep into them."
"So, this underground forest should also be a 'defective product' that you copied with the estimation data?" Qi Lin instantly grasped the loophole in the mastermind's words.
"I know what you're thinking, I won't tell you the specific information of the underground forest, you also said that you are challenging yourself, if I tell you everything, what is the point of this kind of challenge?"
"Okay, okay......"
Qi Lin pursed his lips, then took out a few things from his backpack and arranged them at the edge of the hole in the vertical passage—a miniature high-definition camera, a switch that could be controlled remotely, a complete set of mechanical frames, and a snowball the size of a head.
Qi Lin took out a nuclear battery whose fuel had almost been exhausted, and connected the positive and negative electrodes of the battery together to form a short-circuit circuit, because the battery energy has been exhausted, so even if it is short-circuited, it will not burn out, but it will release a certain amount of energy fluctuations to the outside world, and the size of the fluctuation is probably a little higher than Qi Lin in the state of "concentrated vortex silence".
Stuffing the nuclear battery into the snowball, and then placing the snowball on top of the mechanical frame, Qi Lin quickly retreated to the outside of the hole.
Taking out the PDA and switching the screen to the miniature high-definition camera, Qi Lin pressed the remote control button of the switch - this switch is generally used to detonate explosives from a distance, but Qi Lin connected it to the simple mechanical frame, only to see that the two metal rods holding the snowball bounced off instantly, and the snowball that lost its support fell straight towards the underground forest directly below.
"Smack!"
The snowball smashed to the ground, shattering, and the short-circuited nuclear battery fell out of it.
Qi Lin stared at the screen of the PDA tightly, for fear of missing something...... However, five minutes passed, the broken snowball gradually melted, and the short-circuited battery was still lying there, and nothing happened.
The frost dragon was not alarmed at all.
10 minutes, 20 minutes...... Qi Lin waited for half an hour, and the picture in the camera did not change in any way.
Although this does not mean that the following is necessarily safe, it is at least better than Qi Lin jumping directly and recklessly.
(It's like playing Rainbow Six, and when you're ready to get in, there's always a good thing to do with a cart and go in and see it...... )
Fastening the safety rope around his waist, Qi Lin drove an air nail into the rock at the edge of the magma passage hole, tied the other end of the safety rope, and then began to slowly descend towards the underground forest......

……
Real World, Underground Vault, Transit Station 1706.
A modest passenger train slowly pulled into the station, and hundreds of passengers came out of the train carriages, the shelter was a freight transit station with no permanent residents, and the people who would come here by train were either workers looking for work here or agents of the consortium who came to handle business.
Transit Station No. 1706 is very large, but two-thirds of the space is occupied by warehouses, some of which have been rented by large consortia, and some of which are open for the temporary storage of small quantities of goods.
According to the information on the cargo interception notice, the two batches of goods that should have been sent to the sixth district should be temporarily stored in warehouse No. 102 at this moment, if the people of the Lei family do not take the initiative to come and retrieve them, when the 15-day period expires, then this batch of goods will be confiscated by the consortium alliance.
After Lei Yun got off the train, he went straight to the "logistics processing office" located in the core area of the transfer station, the function and status of this office are somewhat similar to the customs in the old era, Lei Yun wants to get back the intercepted goods, he must first complete the corresponding procedures here.
Of course, this series of procedures is not free, and she must pay a valuable "escrow fee" before she can take the goods, and in the mouths of the agents of the consortium, this "escrow fee" is often called a "ransom".
