Just as Qi Lin was about to squeeze into the group of corpses, he suddenly felt as if he was locked by a sharp gaze, and at the same time, a faint shadow also shrouded his body.

Qi Lin swept a little from the corner of his eye, and found that a large bird with a wingspan of more than three meters had already taken himself as a target and was swooping down towards him at high speed

"!"

Qi Lin cursed in his heart, and an idea beacon was instantly solidified, but when he swept his gaze over the towering city wall, he suddenly changed his original thoughts.

Qi Lin didn't put up any resistance, allowing the big bird's sharp claws to pierce his shoulder blades and carry himself into the air.

Many mutant scavengers like to tear their prey apart and devour it in the air, and the "food" here is very abundant, and there is rarely a scramble between scavenging birds, and the big bird that grabbed Qi Lin quickly brought Qi Lin to the sky above the Fort Yukon base.

From this direction, you can see the ground facilities at the Fort Yukon base, a heavily guarded fortress with soldiers in power armor at every intersection, and towers with bright searchlights and heavy machine guns and snipers every 100 meters.

Normally, it would be difficult to sneak into such a place, but there is this big bird...... That's different.

This scavenging bird brought Qi Lin to a height of hundreds of meters, and was about to tear apart and eat the "carrion corpse" hanging on its claws, but a powerful spiritual shock wave suddenly exploded from the depths of its mind, and it lost consciousness, and the big bird's body suddenly stiffened, and it fell diagonally downward, just hitting another scavenging bird flying from below.

This "air crash" caused both birds to lose their balance and crash straight into the Fort Yukon base

……

……

Fort Yukon base, outer city walls.

"Hey, I said, how was that chick last night?" A soldier in power armor held his helmet in one hand and a homemade cigarette thicker than a cigar in the other, gulping down the smoke while chatting with a colleague next to him.

"The figure is very positive, but it is a little loose below, and there is still a little skin disease on the body, and the old man who is harmed has eaten two more pieces of Qinghuining when he goes back!" The other soldier was a little upset, and tapped his fingers on the former's metal shoulder armor.

"Grass, then ask you if you're happy? It's better than your calloused right hand! You kid told me last time that he hadn't touched a woman for half a year, and last night Lao Tzu found one for you, and now you are here to complain about Lao Tzu! You have no conscience! The first soldier patted the weapon rack behind the opponent's armor with great dissatisfaction, and there was a crisp sound of metal clashing with metal.

"Okay, okay, it's pretty cool...... By the way, where did you find that chick? Slaves in the base? ”

"Come on, isn't any of the female slaves in the base loose enough to put her whole fist in? Those goods that are a little beautiful have been taken by the officers for themselves, how can they compare with the ones I found last night......" The second soldier suddenly lowered his voice, "To tell you honestly, those women are all prisoners in the prison, and I entrusted the iron buddies who guarded the prison to help me bring them out, and then I will be locked up after playing...... Damn, just those few goods last night, it cost Lao Tzu half a pack of 'Marlboro', you have to remember to compensate Lao Tzu next time! The soldier said in a sudden low voice.

"Yes...... Is it a prisoner? Grass! You don't know it's a big sin to release prisoners! If the lieutenant found out, he'd have to cut that thing off underneath you!" Another soldier said with some trepidation.

"Come on, those guys in prison are playing almost every day, we're just 'borrowing' it, what can we do? We're all men, and we all have normal needs...... Do you think that lieutenants don't need women? Besides, if you want to cut me, you won't be able to cut me, and you won't be able to escape. ”

"Fack! If you really get caught, I'll have to feed you a gun first! ”

"Rest assured, those prisoners will be executed at the end of the month, what can we do? Just pretend you don't know anything! ”

“…… Call...... Never mind...... Not to mention this, by the way, there was a helicopter that flew back from outside two days ago, and it seemed to have a prisoner on it, a little girl, and it was so fucking beautiful...... I dare say that there is no woman in the entire Fort Yukon base who is more beautiful than that little girl! ”

"Two days ago? You mean that helicopter? Shet! I think you're crazy! Do you know the identity of that woman? That's the person in the lab who asked for it, how dare you hit that girl with your idea? Oh my God! Anything that has anything to do with the laboratory, I don't dare to touch it if I have ten guts! ”

"Don't don't, I don't dare to hit that woman's idea! I'm just curious...... By the way, what happens to the woman when she is sent to the lab? ”

"I don't know, I don't want to know, if you want to live longer, it's best to dispel this thought, it's better not to ask anything about the lab, curiosity can kill not only cats, but also people."

“okok…… Look! Two scavengers crashed in the sky over there! ”

"Huh? This stupid bird...... Laughed to death...... on the top of Lao Tzu's head all day long, Lao Tzu has been unhappy with them for a long time...... Hey, it's a pity that it fell into the inner city, and the group of grandsons in it were cheaper. ”

……

……

Fort Yukon Base, Inner City.

A group of soldiers hurried to the spot where the two scavengers had fallen, two tall power armor pulled the carcass of the scavengers onto a flatbed truck, while several other soldiers pulled over two water pipes and began to wash the blood from the ground.

An officer-like man stepped forward, looked at the carcasses of the two scavenging birds on the truck, and then at the empty ground, and couldn't help but frown, and asked a soldier next to him, "Only the carcasses of these two birds?" ”

"Report sir, that's all we found when we got here!"

The officer's eyebrows immediately furrowed even tighter: "Didn't the sighting report say that there was a carrion hanging from the claws of a scavenging bird?" What about the carrion? ”

"We didn't find carrion at the scene......"

"What's going on?"

"Sir...... We can't be sure if the scavenging birds really have carrion on their claws, there are not many witnesses, and the scavengers fall very fast, they may be wrong......"

“…… Misread ...... Indeed, this possibility cannot be ruled out...... But...... What is it? The officer walked up to the carcass of the scavenger, drew his saber, and picked up the great claws of the scavenger, which were stained with pus and blood that had not completely dried up, apparently new traces of it.

"This ...... It was our negligence! Please, sir! When the soldier saw this detail, his face immediately turned pale, and he bowed his head deeply like the officer.

"There is no need to punish me, find this missing carrion for me, if I can't find it...... What are the consequences, you should understand, right? I think...... You don't want to be sent down there, do you? The officer squinted, his sharp gaze sweeping over the group of soldiers.

"Ming...... Got it! After hearing the officer mention the word "below", the soldiers couldn't help but shudder.

In this Fort Yukon base, the most feared punishment is neither being imprisoned nor being thrown into the corpses outside, but being sent to a "laboratory" located underground in the base...... Among the soldiers, "laboratory" was even a taboo word that they didn't even want to mention.

"Sir! We've found traces of that carrion! At that moment, the shouts of other soldiers suddenly came from a little farther away.

The officer and the others immediately rushed over, only to see that on the wall of a sewage ditch more than 20 meters deep, there was a long strip-like trace of pus and blood rubbing on it, and this trace spread all the way to the bottom of the sewage ditch.

This sewage ditch is full of highly corrosive industrial wastewater, and if a soldier accidentally falls into it, others will basically not choose to rescue it, because even if they succeed in saving it, they will only get a corpse full of holes.

"It seems that the carrion must have stumbled and fallen into the sewage ditch......" The officer cautiously walked to the edge of the sewage ditch, leaned out half of his body, carefully observed the newly left blood stains on the ditch wall and the turbulent water flow at the bottom of the sewage ditch, and then turned around and carefully examined the ground between the blood stains of the scavenging bird and the sewage ditch, and then nodded slightly.

"Okay, even if this thing is over, remember to hurry up for me in the future, if this kind of thing happens again, you must rush to the scene within a minute, otherwise, in case the above is investigated, it is not a matter that can be dealt with with by saying 'falling into the sewage ditch, the trace is difficult to find'!" The officer gave the soldiers a stern lecture and left, leaving only the soldiers who were cleaning the scene still silently washing the blood on the ground.

At this time, Qi Lin, who was hiding in the shadows, breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, he had already made a misleading trace, otherwise, if it really caused the whole city to be vigilant, then I am afraid that things would be troublesome...... The Fort Yukon base is no better than an undersea prison with only a few hundred people stationed there, and the number of defenders here is probably tens of thousands, no matter how confident Qi Lin is, it is impossible for him to fight against tens of thousands of troops on his own...... What's more, they also have a considerable number of air forces.

In just a few minutes after the scavenger fell to the ground, Qi Lin wiped off his own blood on the scavenging bird's claws, and then smeared the pus and blood of the carrion on the paws, if people found that the scavenger bird's claws had fresh human blood on them, then they would definitely know that it was not a carrion that the scavenger brought into the inner city, but a living person...... And this unknown living person will inevitably arouse the high vigilance of the defenders in the city.

Subsequently, Qi Lin took out a piece of rotten flesh cut from the rotting corpse from his backpack, and wiped a long trail of blood on the wall of the sewage ditch, faking the illusion that "himself" accidentally fell into the sewage ditch, thus blocking the defenders' idea of conducting a full search.

As for the footprints, Qi Lin didn't think about making a row of footprints that stretched from the carcass of the scavenging bird to the side of the sewage ditch, but after careful recollection, Qi Lin noticed that the carrion corpses on the periphery of the corpse group had been walking on the snow for a long time, and their feet had been completely frozen, even if there was dirty blood, they were either frozen or wiped clean by the snow, and the soles of their feet became the cleanest place on the body of the carrion.

And the facts have also proved that Qi Lin's approach is completely correct.

Merely...... What made Qi Lin a little curious was what the "below" that the officers and soldiers were talking about, what was it? Does it refer to the underground part of the Fort Yukon base? The underground fortifications that were once built as nuclear shelters?

What's underneath the base? Were Qin and Ayakui sent underground?

Qi Lin's heart was full of doubts, to be honest, he really wanted to catch a soldier to ask, but the soldiers in this base also implemented a strict attendance system similar to that of an undersea prison, if a soldier went missing, it would soon attract attention, this time, there was no mastermind to help him cover up his tracks.

Qi Lin's only chance was to wait for the night to catch a soldier who was not on duty...... From the sign at the intersection, Qi Lin saw entertainment venues such as "bars" and "casinos...... That is to say, in this heavily guarded fortress, the soldiers can still have a certain amount of leisure time, after all, if they are in a state of tension for a long time, the soldiers are likely to have a lot of psychological problems, this base has been built for a long time, and this kind of supporting entertainment facilities for soldiers to relieve stress will definitely not be lacking.

If a soldier disappears for a while during his break, no one will suspect that he has been captured, at most he will think that he has gone to a bar to drink or a casino...... According to the signs, the bars and casinos are open from 9 p.m. to 4 a.m., almost six hours away.

In that case, the time left for Qi Lin would be relatively relaxed, at the earliest at four o'clock in the morning, and at the latest until the next day's work, when they would find out that a soldier was missing.

"I hope you'll be able to ask something useful......

Qi Lin sighed secretly in his heart, bypassed several cameras at the intersection, and slowly touched the location of the bar.

In the old era, with the exception of Russia and other exceptions, many countries had alcohol prohibitions in their armies, and it was impossible for such a thing as a bar to exist in the army, and even mercenaries like Qi Lin rarely drank alcohol during their missions...... But now it's different, alcohol, like cigarettes, is an indispensable munition used to maintain morale in the wasteland, and because the soldiers' physique is generally strengthened, even if a first-level evolutionary drinks a kilogram of high-purity vodka, he will only feel slightly drunk at most, and he will not have a hangover when he gets up the next day after sleeping, as long as he doesn't drink to the point of being drunk like mud, or if he is in arrears of drinking money, in this base, there is basically no one to control the soldiers' drinking.

Time passed little by little, and soon night had fallen, and by nine o'clock the roller shutters of the bar, known as "The Silt of the Yukon River Bottom," were pulled up, and many soldiers who had already been impatient poured in......

And Qi Lin, who was squatting behind a row of garbage cans on the corner of the alley, had also stuffed a dart needle coated with anesthetic into the blowpipe.
