Chapter 942: Preparing for the Rendezvous

Next, the first thing Qi Lin had to do was to rush to the safe house where Freewill was located on the surface and meet the team members on the list.

The safe house was almost the distance between the three provinces of the old era from Stronghold Zero, and with no helicopter accessible, Qi Lin had to cross the route on foot on his own legs.

Fortunately, the mastermind got the news that Xia would not attack Qin for the time being, he was carrying out a series of complicated preparations, and this process would probably consume about a week, and this time was the deadline left for Qi Lin to do so.

Stuffing all the equipment that the Mastermind had prepared for him into his backpack, Qi Lin gently hugged Persephone's shoulders and strode out of Stronghold Zero - after he left, the Mastermind would transfer Persephone and Song Xiaodie directly to another newly built safe stronghold, and everything in this Zero stronghold would be destroyed.

Although he hadn't lived here for long, when Qi Lin looked back at this American-style country house, he still felt a slight sense of reluctance.

"I hope I survived in the end...... When the war is over, find a way to build a house that looks exactly like this one......"

(I haven't talked much about what Stronghold Zero looks like...... However, when I was writing, I had a reference template, and in order to make it easier for everyone to make up for it, I will tell you the reference template - "Rainbow Six; The Siege of the Oregon country house. )

In order to cover up the trail as much as possible and prevent it from being tracked by surveillance satellites, the main brain could not provide Qi Lin with any transportation equipment, and if he only relied on his legs to hurry, even if Qi Lin had the speed of a fifth-level evolutionary, it would take at least three days to reach the safe house where free will was, and half of this back and forth action time would be wasted...... Fortunately, more than 300 kilometers away from the Zero stronghold is a large area of abandoned cities connected together, as long as Qi Lin can find some vehicles that can still be used in it, it can save a lot of time, under the cover of buildings, coupled with a large amount of electromagnetic interference in the abandoned city, it is difficult for monitoring satellites to capture targets moving at high speed in the ruins of the city.

Two-thirds of the way through this abandoned urban area is vehicle-ready, and a conservative estimate could reduce the travel time to less than two days.

"It's one o'clock in the afternoon, from now to four o'clock, there will be no satellites in the sky over this distance, at 4:05 the RX0799 monitoring satellite will pass through these points along the 6th orbit, the effective monitoring radius of RX0799 is 600 kilometers, the main detection means are thermal infrared and visible light, you must do a good job of masking in advance."

Qi Lin was sprinting on the wasteland while silently memorizing the information that the master brain had told him.

Due to the fact that a strategic nuclear warhead had just been detonated nearby, a large amount of radiation in the nuclear explosion area continued to escape outward, attracting a large number of mutated creatures, but fortunately, the view above the wasteland was relatively wide, and Qi Lin could find these wandering mutant creatures in advance from a dangerous distance, so as to avoid those unnecessary battles.

It's not that Qi Lin can't defeat these mutant creatures, but if he fights these guys, it will waste more time, and if he doesn't clean up enough, it will easily leave traces that will be discovered by satellites - and if he wants to completely erase these traces, it will take more time.

Anyway, it's clear that detouring is the best solution to this problem.

"But then again, if you can find a way to get around it in the wasteland, you will be in trouble in the abandoned city...... The devil knows what monsters will rush out of the corner of the street......" Qi Lin complained to the mastermind, choosing to pass through the abandoned city, it is true that you can use vehicles to shorten the travel time, but again, you will encounter more uncertainties.

"I've already planned the route for you." Accompanied by the voice of the mastermind, the voice appeared on the AR screen at the same time is a three-dimensional three-dimensional real picture of the abandoned city, from the real picture, it can be seen that because the city's subway tunnel is shallow from the ground, after being bombed, the entire tunnel has been exposed, and from a distance it looks like a large ditch, and the route marked by the main brain is this subway line exposed to the sun.

"......Do you want to go from the tunnel," Qi Lin said silently in his heart, although the semi-enclosed environment of the subway tunnel can indeed reduce a lot of risks, at least Qi Lin doesn't have to worry about the mutant monsters rushing out of the buildings on the left and right sides like he did when he walks into the street, but if the tunnel is blocked by some powerful mutant creatures, then this road will be even more difficult to walk......

"I have already used a small drone to reconnoiter this route, and there are indeed some mutated creatures living in the subway tunnel, but there are no mutated creatures above the F level, theoretically speaking, this is the safest passage."

"It seems that this is the only way, I hope you didn't set a flag for me......" Qi Lin nodded, although in the "Wasteland Survival Code", the most powerful boss in a city ruin always likes to entrench in landmark buildings, and the second favorite nest is the underground structure of the city, but after all, it is a virtual game, since the mastermind has already investigated this passage, it should not be too much of a problem.

Four o'clock was fast in coming, and night in the wasteland always came earlier, because it was difficult for sunlight to refract through the thick radiant clouds to the ground, and by this moment the sky had turned a gloomy leaden gray, and in some places the clouds were even inky black...... This scene couldn't help but make Qi Lin think of the ancient poem "Black clouds overwhelm the city and want to destroy it".

The clouds are so thick that the visible light camera will definitely not see anything, even the thermal infrared detector will be seriously disturbed by the radiation clouds, but for the sake of safety, Qi Lin still found a large enough stone, squatted on the back of the stone, and then took out a piece of felt from his backpack and covered himself from head to toe.

The inside of the felt is a fine metal mesh and a layer of insulation made of synthetic materials, which can help Qi Lin evade most detection methods, including thermal infrared detectors on surveillance satellites.

With his back against the hard boulder, Qi Lin squatted in place and did not move, his right hand behind his back picked up a small piece of gravel from the ground, and his thumb and index finger and middle finger pressed slightly, rubbing this small gravel into a handful of fine gravel.

Time passes very slowly, especially in this case.

"Well, this area is no longer within the range of satellite monitoring." It wasn't until the mastermind's voice sounded that Qi Lin lifted the felt covering his body and stood up from the ground.

Looking at my watch, it was only five o'clock in the afternoon, and less than an hour had passed.

However, Qi Lin felt as if half a day had passed.

For a soldier trained as a sniper, patience is one of the necessary conditions, but as his evolution level continues to increase, Qi Lin always feels that his personality gradually begins to become a little frizzy, and more often than not, he prefers to solve problems by more direct means - such as using violence.

He's been on solid track and he's not in shaky form, but he realizes that there seems to be something wrong with his mentality.

Fortunately, Qi Lin is now aware of these problems, and is obviously lucky to be able to realize the problems before the accident happens, at least, before these problems have a substantial impact, Qi Lin still has a chance to overcome and solve them.

"Hoo ......"

Gently exhaled a breath of turbid air, and scattered the fine sand in his hand on the ground.

Although it had been quite some time since the winter solstice, the entire canopy had gone dark before five o'clock, and the howls of some mutant creatures that were nocturnal echoed in the distance of the wasteland.

There are still more than ten kilometers away from the abandoned city, where Qi Lin can already see the outlines of those skyscrapers left over from the old era, standing in the dark night, like petrified giants.

Speeding up slightly, Qi Lin finally entered the abandoned city of the old era before five o'clock.

It is an industrialized city with several factories capable of producing the main components of aircraft, and after the outbreak of the war, it was naturally bombed by hostile forces, although the nuclear bomb was intercepted, but some low-altitude stealth bombers launched suicide attacks have already destroyed the city.

In particular, the industrial area located in the northern suburbs has been almost completely razed to the ground.

Looking at the collapsed factories and the blackened bricks and rubble on the ground, Qi Lin directly dispelled the idea that he could find usable vehicles here, although there was no shortage of raw materials in the industry, but Qi Lin did not have the ability to turn these raw materials into vehicle parts with his bare hands.

Judging from the real picture provided by the main brain drone, the width of the subway tunnel is about three to four meters, and the car is definitely unusable, and the ground in the tunnel is full of garbage and rubble, and the most ideal vehicle should be an off-road motorcycle.

Qi Lin had a clear goal, and after passing through an industrial area and a collapsed high-rise office building, he headed straight for a motorcycle shop in the downtown area.

After 2030, motorcycles are rarely used as a means of transportation in the city, and most of the people who play motorcycles in those big cities are enthusiasts who particularly like motorcycles, and if you can find a high-quality off-road motorcycle in this club, it is a very comfortable thing.

Qi Lin kicked open the door of the motorcycle club, and threw a saber to the side without looking, and the saber directly cut off the throat and neck bone of a zombie with a curved blade, spun in the air, and returned to Qi Lin's hand again.

The zombie was wearing a dirty, bloodstained rider's suit, and it looked like it had once been a member of the club.

"Let's go, your treasure will be borrowed from me." Kicking the zombie's corpse aside, Qi Lin stepped over the collapsed leather sofa and front desk, and walked towards the interior of the club.

In the hallways of the club, there was blood and mutilated bones everywhere, and the walls were covered with shocking bloody hand shadows - Qi Lin could almost imagine what happened here: after the outbreak of war, a group of people took refuge in the club, they did not die from the bombing of the planes, but the dirty bomb dropped spread the radioactive contamination throughout the city, and some people gradually contracted radiation sickness, and one of them suddenly changed one day, Turned into the zombie who was killed outside, killing everyone in the club.

This is very similar to the scenes in movies like Resident Evil, but it is a real thing that happens in reality.

In a small room, Qi Lin found a large number of corpses that had rotted so much that only bones remained, and many mutant beetles used these bones as new nests, and when Qi Lin pushed open the door of the compartment, the frightened beetles burrowed into the shadows of the room.

Scanning the things in the cubicle, Qi Lin didn't find what he was looking for, so he didn't plan to disturb the dead, closed the door again, and walked towards the depths of the club.

Various accessories, rider uniforms, helmets...... Even race trophies can be found everywhere in the club, but Qi Lin just couldn't find a complete motorcycle, and even the hydraulic frame of the tuning workshop in the club's backyard was empty, and only a rusty motorcycle skeleton was left in the corner of the workshop.

"It won't be so unlucky......

Qi Lin muttered to himself, and suddenly, he found that the floor under his feet seemed to be hollow, and directly below this renovation workshop, there seemed to be a secret basement hidden!

Qi Lin didn't bother to look for an entrance, so he directly took the largest wrench from the tool rack on the side and smashed it the floor under his feet.

With the brute force blessing of the fifth-level evolutionary, the metal wrench smashed directly through the concrete floor, smashing out a large hole one meter square.

Qi Lin jumped in and jumped in directly.

"it...... Good luck! ”

In this basement, there are four modified motorcycles covered with canvas, and in the corner of the basement, there are a lot of daily necessities and gasoline!

It's not a strange thing that there are modified motorcycles hidden in the basement of the club, after all, these motorcycles are illegal at first glance, and if the police must see it, they will inevitably be fined and detained, as for those supplies and gasoline, it is estimated that the people in this club used to escape after waiting for the radiation to dissipate, but who knew that a mutated zombie appeared among them, killing everyone directly in the club.
