Chapter Ninety-Five: Dark Beetle

Riding his newly purchased chariot, Qi Lin drove all the way to a newly built pioneer camp before stepping on the brakes.

I have to admit that the dwarf shopkeeper is indeed very accomplished in automobiles and machinery, and the kinetic energy of such a heavy chariot is very huge in the case of high-speed driving, but Qi Lin just braked down, and the four and a half meter diameter wheels were forced to die by the brake pads - for evolutionaries who react much faster than normal people, the ABS braking anti-lock braking system on ordinary cars is completely a burden.

Not only that, in the old days, many racing cars were forbidden to install ABS systems, and the driver's foot movements could completely exceed the role of ABS, and if there was ABS, it would greatly extend the braking distance, which was very dangerous for fast cars.

Qi Lin stepped on the brakes with one foot, and at the same time his right hand quickly lowered the gear, and hit the steering wheel hard with his left hand, and when the body began to tilt, he released the brakes, and then hit the steering wheel back, and the last foot of the accelerator slammed on, and the entire Hummer completed a beautiful drift in a small open space in front of the pioneer camp, and stopped steadily in front of a group of stunned pioneer players.

In fact, generally speaking, it is difficult for a four-wheel drive off-road vehicle to complete the drifting operation, because the center of gravity of the off-road vehicle is generally high, it is easy to overturn, and the four-wheel drive drift operation is not as easy as the rear-wheel drive car, but fortunately, the heavy armor on the wasteland Hummer has lowered the center of gravity of the car a lot, and the three boxes of heavy ammunition pressed behind the car just became a disguised counterweight, so that Qi Lin successfully completed the entire drifting action.

Compared with the drift that was played by the rear-wheel drive car at the gas station Los Angeles Feng, Qi Lin's drift is much more difficult to operate and has a much greater gold content.

"Grass...... Is this a tank? Tanks, also, also TM can play drifting? A pioneer who was squatting on a stone pier and smoking a cigarette was so dumbfounded that he didn't even realize that the half cigarette holder in his mouth had fallen to the ground.

And the other people in the camp are not much better than him, Qi Lin's Humvee engine can be heard from a kilometer away, when the high-speed sprinting chariot crashed straight into the camp, many people have already screamed and ran outside, but who knows, such a heavy chariot like a tank, when it was only about to hit the camp in the last ten meters, it was forced to drift and stop.

Qi Lin opened the twenty-centimeter-thick car door, jumped out of it at once, then took out a backpack from the back compartment and asked, "Who is the person in charge of this camp?" ”

A group of players, you look at me, I look at you, after a long time, a man who looked to be in his thirties, with two huge black circles under his eyes, a scruffy beard, and an old-fashioned bolt-action rifle behind him stood up a little confused: "I...... I am, ...... excuse me?"

"Your boss asked me to send you some supplies on the way!"

Qi Lin said, and threw the backpack in his hand over.

The pioneers in this camp are all players belonging to the Lexing Star Shield Consortium, employed by Thunder City, before the Polar Ice Python Battle Armor is made, Qi Lin plans to hone his combat skills in the abandoned city, improve his strength and earn some extra money at the same time, just a small favor for Persephone on the way.

There aren't many things in the backpack, most of them are clean water and food, and there is a small amount of ammo, but as a pioneer player who has been crawling and rolling in the depths of the abandoned city for a long time, it is simply a relief in the snow.

Catching Qi Lin's backpack, the other party was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly thanked Qi Lin.

"Is there an empty tent, give me one, I'm going to stay here for a few days." Qi Lin said to the man.

This is already a relatively cutting-edge location in the pioneer area, and according to the marks on the hunter's map, there are already several blue areas around, and Qi Lin plans to clear all these blue areas in the next few days.

"Yes, yes! Of course! The person in charge quickly glanced at one of the pioneers, and the man immediately trotted all the way into the camp, and after a while, ran out with a pile of tattered bedding and blankets.

Following the person in charge, under the curious eyes of a large group of players, Qi Lin walked to a tent in the camp, although there was still a faint smell in the tent, but it had been cleaned very clean.

"Do you need a covering?" The person in charge cautiously followed behind Qi Lin and asked respectfully.

"No, you can do whatever you normally want, I'll stay for a few days and leave." Qi Lin said.

Training in an abandoned city, having a fixed camp can provide a lot of convenience, although the weapons and equipment of the pioneers are generally poor, but the mutated creatures in the vicinity are basically cleaned up, so Qi Lin can also focus on his goals without worrying about the situation of being attacked on his back.

Moreover, according to his agreement with Persephone, Qi Lin lives in this pioneer camp, which belongs to the "co-defense", and with the value of a second-level evolutionary and the champion of the Wasteland Survival Grand Prix, for every day of "co-defense", Persephone needs to pay Qi Lin 1000 resource points.

Although this money is not much, it is completely extra income for Qi Lin, and he is naturally happy to choose this pioneer camp as a temporary place for him to stay.

"By the way, I heard from your boss that the activity of mutant creatures has been a bit abnormal lately?" Qi Lin spread a folding sleeping bag in his backpack on the ground, turned to the person in charge and asked.

As soon as he heard Qi Lin talk about this, the person in charge's eyes lit up, and he asked with some excitement: "Are you sent from above to solve this matter?" ”

“…… Uh, sort of. ”

Seeing Qi Lin nodded, the person in charge hurriedly said like a cannon, "Great! Recently, I don't know why, a group of dark beetles that didn't belong to our area appeared near the camp, and the players on duty at night have been hung up for several times, and now there are no four or five people in a team, and they don't dare to leave the camp half a step at night, it's great that you can come! ”

The dark beetle is an insect-like mutant creature that appears after the scarab is mutated by radiation, not only has the original bright bronze carapace turned into a dull black, but its body size has also skyrocketed from a few centimeters to more than ten times.

Unlike another similar mutant creature, the Steel Beetle, each of the Dark Beetles has the strength of F-class mutant creatures, although it can only be regarded as the bottom existence of the F-rank, and even many elite levels are stronger than it, but the most terrifying thing about the Dark Beetles is that they live in groups.

In addition to physical attacks, one of the reasons for the name of the dark beetle is that they can release a colorless and odorless gas, when this gas fills the space around the prey, under the control of the dark beetle, the originally transparent gas will suddenly turn black, blocking all vision of the prey, as if the sky suddenly darkened.

At this time, often before the prey can react, swarms of dark beetles will rush up and tear the prey to pieces with their sharp jaws.
