Chapter 3: The Corpse King
"Guns?!"
Qi Lin was startled by the sudden gunshot, and hurriedly jumped behind a large rock on the side of the road and hid.
"Someone has already gotten their hands on a firearm? How long has it been since it was opened? Could it be that you got it in the newbie package? β
Before Qi Lin could recover from his surprise, something even more shocking happened - with a roar of the engine, an off-road vehicle welded with heavy armor plates wrapped in a large cloud of smoke and dust rushed straight into the gas station, and then a beautiful tail flick drifted and stopped in front of a broken fuel dispenser.
The door of the SUV opened, and from it jumped two men, two women, four young men, all in delicate leather light armor, both men holding firearms in their hands, one was an AK47, and the other was a Mauser 98K with an optical sight installed.
"Damn, good thing!"
Qi Lin was quite blushing when he saw it, although these weapons could be regarded as antiques before the war, but this did not affect the accuracy and power of these weapons.
In the shelter, the common currency is a virtual currency called "resource points", which is recorded in everyone's brain account, and those low-quality pistols made by illegal workshops in the slums will cost one hundred resource points, as for these genuine antiques, Qi Lin has never seen them in the slums.
100 points is enough for an adult's entire daily expenses for two months!
The four people who got out of the car casually looked at the zombie corpses on the ground, and then walked into the gas station.
Qi Lin could already confirm that all four of them were players, and moreover, they were players from the rich area of the Vault!
The shelters of the underground world are not independent, they are connected to each other by passages, and each shelter is connected to form a huge underground network, in this network, there are so small number of shelters, or some special areas in some large shelters, which are called "rich areas".
The people who live in the rich area are either political and business giants before the end of the world, or they have invested a lot of money in the construction of shelters, and in any case, the rich area is the "paradise" of the underground world.
Unlike Qi Lin, who had to count the resource points bit by bit every day, the people in the rich area then waved hundreds of points, and the water they poured into the swimming pool alone was clearer than the minimum standard drinking water that Qi Lin usually drank.
As a "privileged class" in the underworld, it is completely reasonable to spend a certain number of points to let the brain provide a little weapons and vehicles.
Qi Lin sighed, and planned to leave the gas station, now he does not have the strength to compete with players in the rich area, if people have a good temper, it is better to say, if you meet a person with a bad temper, just give yourself a shot, it will be sad.
Brain has long told everyone that there is no law in the wasteland.
"Ahh!!!h
Just as Qi Lin was about to turn around and leave, suddenly a girl's sharp scream came from the gas station, and at the same time, there was the sound of AK47's crazy shooting and the sound of broken glass!
"What's the situation?!"
Qi Lin followed the prestige, and saw two women and one man, running outside the gas station as if they were dead, and while running, the man with an AK47 kept shooting into the gas station.
Fortunately, the gas station has been abandoned for a long time, otherwise the muzzle flame would have caused a large enough explosion.
But what exactly are they fighting? And what about a man?
Soon, Qi Lin's question was explained, a giant zombie with a height of three meters, his skin festering completely, and his abnormally developed muscles were completely exposed to the air, smashed through the glass curtain wall of the gas station convenience store and rushed out, and the waving claws were still stained with fresh blood!
"[Corpse King] A powerful mutant among the zombies, the reason for formation is unknown, the strength is strong, the strength points are above 20, the skin is rough and the blood is thick, and it is extremely difficult to kill."
The wisdom brain on Qi Lin's wrist immediately showed the data of the monster, but since his level was only one level, the information displayed was only a few simple lines.
In the "Wasteland Survival Rules", players also have levels, but after this level is raised, it does not increase physical fitness, nor does it increase attack power, defense power and HP limit, but increases "information permission".
In other words, the higher the level, the more functions that the miniature brain will unlock, and a first-level player like Qi Lin can only get this text when he encounters a boss-level monster like the Corpse King.
"Fortunately, it wasn't me who went in just now......"
The Corpse King was strafed by AK47, becoming even more furious, and the speed of running was also increased by a point, among the three players who ran towards the off-road vehicle, a girl with a long black straight suddenly tripped over a stone under her feet, fell to the ground with a miserable scream, and was immediately chased by the Corpse King, and stepped on it-
"Poof!"
The girl didn't even have time to scream, and was directly trampled into a puddle of flesh by the corpse king, and the splattered flesh and organs splashed directly on the backs of the two people running in front!
"Damn monsters! Die! The male player shouted loudly while hurriedly changing the AK's magazine, but at this time, Qi Lin sneaked around the convenience store from behind the Corpse King.
He decided to give it a try, whether it would work out or not.
"Obtain the item [98K Mauser Rifle-4X Optical Scope], a blue quality item, made in Germany during World War II, is a highly accurate, reliable, and powerful rotary pull-back bolt-action rifle that uses 7.92mm caliber bullets. Accessory: Quadruple optical sight. β
"Obtain the item [7.92mm Copper Core Bullet] x4, a white quality item."
On the edge of a half-baked counter lay a bloody corpse, apparently the same young man with a 98k when he entered the gas station just now, but now even his face was not clear.
As he quickly loaded the only four bullets from the ejection slot at the top of the receiver, a system prompt rang out.
"Correctly reload the 98k Mauser rifle ammunition, the talent skill [Gun Mastery] is on, and the proficiency is 1%."
Does this game have a hidden talent tree? Qi Lin was stunned, but the corners of his mouth pulled up a confident smile.
Although he was only twenty years old, before the end of the world, he was not a college student in an ivory tower, nor an office worker who spent his days shuttling through concrete forests, but a mercenary active in the most dangerous parts of the world.
It was only later that the war entered a white heat, and ordinary infantry could only be reduced to cannon fodder under various high-powered weapons, so he withdrew from the battlefield and returned to his homeland.
After more than three years, touching this well-made gun again, Qi Lin couldn't help but feel that the speed of his heartbeat had increased by a point.
Pulling the bolt, loading it, and adjusting the target magnification, Qi Lin directly put the rifle on the counter where only half of it was left, and aimed at the head of the corpse king-
"Phew!"
"Hit the nail on the head! Deal 1139 damage! [Gun Mastery] Mastery increased by 19%! β
When the sound was raised, Qi Lin was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that he was still in the game.
It's just that this shot has also cut the Corpse King's health bar by one-third!
"Whew!"
The Corpse King was hit hard, roared angrily, gave up the two people who were running in front of him, and turned aroundβ
"Phew!"
A bullet pierced the corpse king's eye, and blood and pus splattered!
"Hit the nail on the head! Deal 1274 HP of damage! [Gun Mastery] Proficiency increased by 21%! β
The Corpse King only had the last bit of HP left, which was estimated to be less than five hundred points according to the previous damage dealt.
"Phew!"
Although the Corpse King's speed was fast, before it could rush into the convenience store again, Qi Lin pulled the trigger for the third time!
"Hit the nail on the head! Deals 1185 damage, of which 413 are effective! [Gun Mastery] Proficiency increased by 20%! β
"You killed the F-rank boss and gained 1500 experience points!"
"You've reached level two!"
"Micro Brain has unlocked a new permission: [World Broadcasting Channel]!"
"[World] System: Congratulations to player 9527 for killing the F-rank boss: Corpse King!"
