Chapter 880: Stronghold Zero

Under these circumstances, the front of the troops was suddenly stretched into a long strip, and in the face of the attack of the Revolutionary Union, it was completely unable to organize effective resistance, and it was soon eaten up by the Revolutionary Union nearly a third of the troops.

Finally, when the number rose to half, the organization had to give up continuing to chase Qi Lin, but instead concentrated all the remaining forces and began to fight to the death with the Revolutionary Alliance.

But at the beginning, the organization had already lost the opportunity, whether it was terrain, firepower, numbers or even morale, all of them fell behind, even if they started to counterattack now, they couldn't let the balance of victory tilt towards them.

“…… Retreat, the target should be far away by now, and the people of the Revolutionary Union will not be able to catch up with them. The Speaker sighed, and finally gave the order to retreat.

He really didn't expect that the heavy encirclement that was originally laid out in order to intercept Qi Lin turned out to be an "escort operation" in the end, not only that, but he also had to fight to make his subordinates pay more casualties to stop the people of the Revolutionary Union, so that they could not catch up with Qi Lin.

Even if the organization can't catch Qi Lin, it will definitely not let him fall into the hands of the Revolutionary Federation, not to mention, there is also a Qin and Qi Lin walking together, which will make him even more jealous.

On the other side, after "hijacking" Qin and running for more than ten kilometers, Qi Lin finally stopped at the intersection of a highway - as early as five minutes ago, the soldiers of the organization who followed them had already given up, leaving only a few sentries to follow, but they were also killed by Qi Lin with extreme precision one by one.

"Alright, it's almost time for me to go back, the 'new home' is ready for you, here's the key." Qin glanced at his watch, then took out a black card from his pocket and threw it towards Qi Lin.

"A new home? What new home? Qi Lin took the black card and asked with some confusion.

"Personally, I'd love to see you wandering the wasteland alone, but you're a very important part of the plan, and if you burp, it's not so easy to find a replacement...... All in all, the second mastermind has prepared a temporary foothold for you, and the specific coordinates have been sent to Thor's mailbox. ”

"Why didn't you say it earlier? I'm ready to wander the world. Qi Lin immediately checked the mailbox, and sure enough, there was a short anonymous email lying inside, and the content of the email was only a latitude and longitude coordinate accurate to five decimal places.

This was already a meter-level accurate positioning coordinate, and Qi Lin quickly found this place on the electronic map.

This place is three hundred and fifty kilometers away from where he is now, it is not far away, it is not close to it, and it only takes half a day to feel it with the "cruising speed" of Thor's hammer.

This foothold is located in a remote valley, belonging to the outskirts of the city, next to a dense forest, although Qi Lin does not know whether this forest was destroyed in the war or has been transformed into the Black Forest, but since it is the foothold arranged by the mastermind, there should be no problem with safety.

"Well, good luck and hope to see you alive next time." Qin waved his hand at Qi Lin, turned around and walked towards the place he had come from.

"Good luck too, don't bump into the big army of the Revolutionary Union on the way back." After saying that, Qi Lin also started to run in the direction he had chosen.

He drew a route on the electronic map, and more than half of the route was along an old-time highway, with open wasteland on both sides of the road, although it was easy to expose the target in this environment, but it also reduced the possibility of being ambushed - the most important point was that the view was extremely good, and if he found powerful advanced mutant creatures or obstacles such as the Black Forest and Radiation Swamp, Qi Lin could also modify the route in advance to detour.

The exchange of fire between the Order and the Revolutionary Union continued, but as the distance increased, the sound of gunfire and explosions faded into obscurity.

"Actually really rushed out...... Although all this was going according to plan, thinking that he had really walked out of that level of encirclement unscathed, Qi Lin still had an incredible feeling.

The "hijacking" plan was proposed by Qin on his own initiative, and Qin also tried to reveal the information on the side of the Revolutionary Alliance...... Although they were not under Qin's command, as long as the other eight people did not intend to tear up the oath, then even if they knew that this was just a play performed by Qin and Qi Lin, they had to put Qin's personal safety first.

This was a risky move, of course, it was just for Qi Lin, and Qin didn't seem to be worried at all that the other eight people would take the initiative to tear up the oath...... Of course, the facts have also proved that Qi Lin's worries are completely unnecessary.

After all, in Qin's words, they were old partners who had been together for more than half a century, and there was no one in the world who knew them better than him.

……

……

It took almost ten hours for Qi Lin to finally arrive at the coordinates in the email. What appeared in front of him was a country villa that looked a little dilapidated on the outside, covering an area of about 200 square meters, three stories high, and a ring of decaying wooden walls around the periphery of the villa.

The Black Forest was nowhere to be seen, and the dense woods had long since died before they could mutate, leaving only a bare valley and a handful of low, tenacious shrubs.

Although the villa looks like an old abandoned house, it has a cast-iron gate that resembles a vault door, and on one side of the gate, there is an inconspicuous black card slot.

Qi Lin stepped forward, took out the black card that Qin had given him, and inserted it into the card slot next to the door.

"Welcome to Colony Zero." Cooper's voice, also the mastermind, came from the loudspeaker overhead, and the cast-iron door slowly opened with the sound of metal gears turning.

"Stronghold Zero, is that what it's called?" Qi Lin muttered a sentence and quickly flashed into the door.

It wasn't until he entered the villa that Qi Lin discovered that this stronghold was not as simple as he looked from the outside - except for the heavy cast-iron gate, all the exterior walls of the villa were reinforced with composite armor plates, which were generally used on the city walls, enough to withstand the direct fire of a hundred-millimeter cannon at close range.

It is more appropriate to say that it is a villa than a fortress.

Before Qi Lin could take a few steps, the holographic projector located in the corner of the indoor ceiling became cold, and a holographic projection that was exactly the same as Cooper's usual image appeared in the hallway.

"You're nearly half an hour later than I expected."

"Cooper" said mercilessly, Qi Lin knew that it was no longer the conscientious AI butler in Base 404, but the super mastermind who controlled almost the entire wasteland.

"I probed around the colony, so I wasted some time."

"Are you questioning my abilities?" The mastermind asked with some dissatisfaction.

"There are some things that you can only feel at ease after you have determined them with your own eyes."
