Chapter 52: The Lair

After last night's battle, although Qi Lin now has no shortage of weapons at hand, his plan to go to that university has not changed.

Among yesterday's trophies, the most weapons were sabers and assault rifles, both of which could only stare at the heavy armor of the Red Dragon 6, and if you want to really hurt an iron canned like power armor, you can either use large-caliber anti-materiel weapons, or explosives with sufficient yield.

Those hunters did have a few grenades on their bodies, but the number was too small, and even if they were bundled together, the power would only blow up a small depression in the armor of the Red Dragon Type 6, and it was still a little far from the armor breaking.

"If only there were explosives for the men in black to ambush the hunters." Qi Lin sighed.

Last night, he was alarmed by the sound of a huge explosion, and judging from the large craters that were blown up, the high explosives buried in the ground to blow people up also had at least a few tens of kilograms of TNT equivalent.

These explosives, if they explode within five meters of the Red Dragon Type 6, are definitely enough for the people in the power armor to feel good.

It's a pity that those black-clothed people only seem to have brought so many explosives, and in addition, Qi Lin didn't find any explosives on their bodies.

However, the power of explosives made from flammable and explosive dangerous chemicals such as nitroglycerin will not be much lower, and in the old days, some terrorists from outside the country often engaged in this kind of thing, a bottle of home-made liquid explosives disguised as a drink, the amount of which is only 500 milliliters, once detonated on a bus or other means of transportation, the whole car will not have a few survivors survive.

Qi Lin's current position is not far from the university, and due to the sharp decrease in the number of surviving players, the density of players distributed in the competition area has also greatly decreased, Qi Lin walked for half a morning, but he didn't meet any players.

It's almost noon now, and Qi Lin, who only ate two compressed biscuits for breakfast, couldn't help but feel a slight protest in his stomach, and when he saw it, sure enough, his satiety had dropped below thirty o'clock.

After finding a fairly clean house, Qi Lin took out a can of luncheon meat, pried it open with a dagger, and then dug up a large piece and sent it to his mouth.

Luncheon meat is salty, greasy, and high in starch, so you can't eat much of the original taste of pork.

This should be the military rations allocated to the B troops in the old era, which belonged to the second-class supplies.

At the end of the war, most of the supplies were transported to underground shelters for storage, and due to the large depreciation of banknotes, the price of canned pork that cost more than ten yuan in peacetime at that time instantly soared to three or four hundred, and the price of fresh vegetables and fruits rose even higher.

Of course, this price is not shocking compared to the later time when the Vault implemented resource points and completely abandoned coins.

After all, if people knew that all the money in their hands would be turned into waste paper in a few months, the price of these things would probably increase tenfold and people would rush to ask for them.

The popularization of the resource point system suddenly turned more than 90 percent of the people in the shelters into proletariats, and at that time, there was really a feeling of returning to the era of "planned economy" in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

But fortunately, human beings are really very adaptable creatures...... Originally, in the eyes of many people, it could only be used as a synthetic food like pig feed, but now it has become the staple food that most people in the shelter rely on for survival, and there are even many people who eat this white paste in many different ways......

Canned meat like the one Qi Lin was eating now had now become a delicacy that many of the shelter residents could not reach.

Because of his ability to make his own firearms, Qi Lin has not been very poor in the past three years...... And those who really don't have the slightest ability, and are unwilling to do hard labor, can only rely on the little subsistence allowance issued by the brain of the shelter every day - the so-called subsistence allowance can only ensure that a person "will not starve to death" to the minimum.

The food calories that can be exchanged for those low-income resource points can only maintain the minimum consumption of an ordinary person's body in a day, and even many people are so hungry that they don't even have the strength to stand up and walk a few steps.

The saddest thing is that when these people are finally willing to do the dirty and tiring work, they will despair to find that they can no longer lift a hoe due to chronic hunger and malnutrition.

In the long run, a vicious circle can only be formed...... People like this who can only lie down and wait to die account for nearly one-fifth of the slum dwellers.

Most of the rest of the people will still look for some lucrative work in order to make a living, although life is hard, but at least they can survive.

In the old and new eras, the only thing that has not changed much in value is precious metals.

In addition to storing a large amount of living resources, the only thing that can support them to continue to prosper in the underground world is the tons and tons of gold that are transported underground by heavy private forces in safes.

And the banknotes, passbooks, and even stocks and bonds that were "sold cheaply" by the rich people in the last period of the war are really a pile of waste paper, or they are too hard to use to go to the toilet.

The phrase "collecting antiques in prosperous times and buying gold in troubled times" is not wrong at all.

Gold is a rare precious metal that is not only used for jewelry, but also a terrible amount in industry, not to mention the amount of gold needed to make so many of the internal components of the game pod.

……

Qi Lin eliminated the entire canned luncheon meat, and even a little minced meat and pork on the inner wall of the canned food were not spared, all of them were scraped off with a dagger, and then the empty canned food was thrown aside. At this time, several bloodthirsty rats that had been peeking in the dark for a long time all came out at once, and they all scrambled for the empty cans that still had a little oil.

Qi Lin found that since he killed countless ordinary bloodthirsty rats and a special hardy breed that night, he would invisibly exude a suppressive aura for this low-level mutant creature, so that ordinary bloodthirsty rats would not take the initiative to attack him at all.

That's fine, a lot of time, and a lot of time and effort can be saved - small bugs and rats are powerful, but annoying enough.

After replenishing the food, Qi Lin casually picked up the AR rifle with a high-powered scope and put it aside, and began to continue towards the university not far away.

His steps were a little fast, a little hurried, but in spite of this, there was not a single sound, and the whole person was like a silent ghost, speeding through the deserted streets.

What Qi Lin can think of, others may not be able to think of, maybe the various reagents in the university chemistry laboratory have already been taken by other players, maybe it is not surprising, if that is the case, Qi Lin will have to make other plans earlier.

……

Five minutes later, standing in front of this old-time university, Qi Lin felt a trace of hesitation in his heart.

It's not that this place has been looted by others, on the contrary, Qi Lin can be sure that no other players must have gone in to explore this university.

There was a faint fishy smell throughout the university, as well as in the neighborhoods, and the exterior of the relatively well-preserved teaching and dormitory buildings was wrapped in circles of gray-white spider silk.

These spider silks are extremely corrosive and tough, even if it is hard masonry, they are cut into several centimeters deep, Qi Lin has no doubt that in a few years, these buildings will no longer be able to see their original appearance, but will be completely transformed into several huge cocoon-shaped nests.

Yes...... The lair, with a perception attribute of up to 12 points, clearly tells Qi Lin the information of "danger", and the mutant creatures that can make Qi Lin feel "dangerous" now are at least E-level bosses of the same level as second-level evolutionaries......
