Chapter 518: Bottleneck

"Well, it's not." Lao Liu was speechless for a while, wanting to explain, but he didn't know how to speak, he wanted to refute it with the excuse that he still belonged to the battle sequence of the southeast official jurisdiction, but deep down there was always a voice in his heart: Don't be stupid, stay here! Look at everything in front of you, this is your dream, this is your pursuit! To hell with that damned soldier who makes it his duty to obey orders!

Okay, Lao Liu took a deep breath, he felt that it was time for him to make a decision, Linglong Experimental Headquarters He was not going to go back, full of dark selfish desires, just thinking about it made him feel sick to his stomach.

In this way, Lao Liu, who was the most difficult to deal with in everyone's opinion, was left behind by Lin Xiao's fooling.

Since then, the Dark Rock Headquarters has an additional administrator who is extremely principled and upright, and there is also a good story that has been passed down for a long time.

With Lao Liu joining the Dark Rock Headquarters as an example, Li Dong and Qiu Yuan chose to stay without much effort, as for those ordinary team members, they had long been attracted by the good atmosphere of the Dark Rock Headquarters garrison, and they were unwilling to go back and continue to carry out the cold order, so they regarded the escort team as the annihilation of the whole army!

Under Lin Xiao's deliberate arrangement, Qiu Yuan joined Professor Yang Chunlan's laboratory, and did not continue to enable Origin Artificial Intelligence for the time being, but focused on quantum radar.

According to Lin Xiao's thoughts, the extension of quantum radar is not in a hurry, and the most anxious thing at the moment is to use quantum signals for communication, otherwise the Jian-10 that he worked so hard to get back would not become a pair of scrap copper and rotten iron?

After settling all aspects of the affairs in the headquarters, Lin Xiao saw with his own eyes that Qiuyuan Lao Liu and the others really integrated into this big collective, so he was relieved to prepare to go out in person, and according to the map handed in by Zou Chengmin, he went to find the secret warehouse in his mouth.

Zou Chengmin's careful thinking, Lin Xiao was actually clear, it was nothing more than wanting to use the information in this secret warehouse in exchange for some power.

People like him are born with an inexplicable yearning for power, and such a person will reduce his head and climb up in officialdom, and in order to climb up, it can be said that he has exhausted all the organs and means, and even sacrifices anything except his name.

But I have to admit that the more people like Zou Chengmin, who have a heartfelt pursuit of power, in order to consolidate their position during their reign, or to continue to climb up in order to make good achievements, they often do a very good job, for example, before the end of the day, at the age of less than forty-five, he has already become the second in command of the sub-base, and he also serves as the vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the province.

But these don't matter, Lin Xiao also revealed some news to Zou Chengmin intentionally or unintentionally before leaving, as long as the information he provided is indeed true and shows enough ability, Lin Xiao will consider changing him to a higher position.

After getting Lin Xiao's promise, which was not a promise, Zou Chengmin was as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and he couldn't wait to work twenty-eight hours a day, and he worked hard to sort out the originally messy household registration relationship from beginning to end.

Because the purpose of going out to open up the wasteland this time was clear, and the target items were extremely important, Lin Xiao personally led the team, but also brought Wang Liang and Bob.

Now Bob is already the squadron leader of the second squadron of the Wasteland Reclamation Regiment, and he controls an elite team of 800 people, and he is also a well-known figure in the Dark Rock Headquarters.

As for Wang Liang, his position will not be put on the bright side at all, except for a few people at the top who know it, in the eyes of others in the headquarters, he is just a marginal operational staff officer of the general headquarters.

And this time, Lin Xiao was ready to let Bob take his second squadron as the pioneer, and he and Wang Liang took an evolutionary elite as the main combat power, because of the long distance and too many uncertain factors, Lin Xiao was not prepared to let the armed helicopter escort, but marked the location of the secret warehouse on another map and handed it over to the only pilot in the entire headquarters who could fly the Jian-10.

According to the map given by Zou Chengmin, the predecessor of this secret warehouse was a war granary hidden in the mountain city, and later the domestic grain production increased sharply, the war grain warehouse was released from the secret level, and when the industry was auctioned publicly, it was taken over by the state security and transformed into a secret warehouse.

This secret warehouse is located on the edge of the mountain city, there are only two roads in and out, and it is surrounded by mountains and dense forests, so Lin Xiao is ready to let Jianshi go to explore the road first, and after making sure that there are no large zombies around, Bob's men and horses will set off as the vanguard, plus the more than twenty evolutionaries who follow him, it is enough to face any danger.

This is also the first official use after getting the J-10 back from the combat readiness airport, the temporary take-off and landing runway is a hardened field poured out of reinforced concrete, which is usually used to dry grain, and only needs to be cleaned up to make the J-10 barely take off and land.

However, Lin Xiao firmly believes that these difficulties are only temporary, with the development and expansion of the headquarters, he will have a complete air force system sooner or later, but at that time, when the air mutant beast has evolved to a higher level, it is unknown whether the supersonic fighter created by science and technology still retains combat effectiveness.

After the intense inspection work was completed, the J-10 pilot boarded the plane and prepared to take off, and the ground crew that was temporarily pulled up nervously paid attention to whether there were birds in the airspace.

It wasn't until J-10 dragged the dark blue tail flame and gradually turned into a small black dot in the roar of the engine that the tension of the crowd eased slightly.

Bob's vanguard team was already preparing for departure, and Lin Xiao was considering whether to absorb the sixth-level crystals before leaving.

In the end, with a ruthless stomp of his feet, Lin Xiao still ordered no one to disturb him, and returned to the lounge to take out the sixth-level crystal.

The purification speed of the omniscient AI is very fast, and it is enough to have a crystal nucleus the size of a baby's fist, but it is completely absorbed and digested by the omniscient AI in an instant, leaving only a pair of light blue powder.

After receiving the infusion of crystallized power, Lin Xiao could clearly feel that his body had ushered in a strengthening, and his agility and strength had increased significantly, but there was no substantial improvement in qi, blood and soul.

Lin Xiao had expected this situation before using crystals, after all, his qi, blood and soul had reached a level close to saturation, and in the words of being biased towards martial arts, it was a bottleneck, and at this time, it was no longer possible to break through by quantity, and it was necessary to find a suitable opportunity.

And chance is such a thing, which can be met but not sought, and it is not urgent to come.

After Lin Xiao completely absorbed and digested the pure energy, his strength had officially entered the threshold of the fifth level, and he was placed on the interstellar defense line, and he was invincible in the five-star strength, even in the face of the strong man in the early stage of the six-star, he also had the strength to fight.

didn't let Lin Xiao wait for a long time, the Jian-10 sent out to reconnoiter came back soon, after all, the supersonic cruise speed is not a joke, the round trip is only a thousand kilometers, and the flight time alone is only half an hour.

When landing, there was a slight deviation, because the hardness of civilian cement was really unsatisfactory, and at the moment of landing, the huge kinetic energy directly crushed the hardened ground, and the landing gear made a crisp sound and almost broke directly.

Fortunately, the pilot's skills are still very good, and the Jian-10 was stopped crookedly and staggered, the landing gear must have been scrapped, and the fuselage also had a slight bump, but overall the loss was not large.

"Report to Boss Lin! There is a lot of fog around the mountain city, I can't circle at low altitude to investigate, and the high-altitude reconnaissance shows that there are no obvious traces of large-scale zombie gathering, but what the specific situation is, I can't determine for the time being! The J-10 pilot reported so, and added a sentence quite helplessly: "Alas, it would be nice if the airborne radar could still operate normally!" It's not a little foggy, and you will become blind! ”

"Don't worry, the new radar is already in the testing stage, and I believe it will soon be equipped with helicopters and your J-10!" Lin Xiao patted the driver's shoulder to show comfort, but he vaguely felt that something was not quite right.

It stands to reason that there are not too many residents in the mountain city, even if there are zombies, there will not be more than 10,000, but there will definitely be no less wild animals in the mountains, and mutant beasts are much more difficult to deal with than zombies in Lin Xiao's heart.

However, it is useless to sit in the headquarters at the moment, and everything will have to wait until the field to figure out the situation.

Bob's team had already set off, and Lin Xiao finally inspected the various departments of the headquarters, and then focused on explaining that during his absence, Wang Dalong and others, who were in charge of the affairs of the headquarters, and then got into an armored car with Wang Liang.

Because of the importance of this time, Lin Xiao took away half of the armored vehicles in the headquarters as fire support, as for the slower moving 99 tank, Lin Xiao did not take it away, that thing is good to use as a battery in the headquarters, but it is a burden to carry it.

Starting from the Dark Rock Headquarters, there were no emergencies along the way, after all, the surrounding area has been searched repeatedly, there can be no zombies, and there is no trace of mutant beasts, the only thing to worry about is the possible mechanical failure of the vehicle.

After leaving the area with frequent human activities, Lin Xiao suddenly found that the plants on the roadside also mutated to varying degrees, and in just a few months, the growth rate of the trees seemed to have increased more than ten times, and the poplar tree, which was originally only a bowl mouth, had grown to a diameter of more than one meter and a height of more than fifty meters!

The mutation of the trees must be more obvious, the vines are more obvious, the branches and leaves show hideous black-brown veins, and the rattans have become the thickness of a baby's arm, and the roots are intricately entwined on the towering trees, if you see it at night, it really has a horror movie atmosphere.
