Chapter 542: Mutants and Medals
In this way, a three-wheeled motorcycle that fell apart at any time, and even the front wheels were seriously deformed, and the whole car was bumpy like a bamboo sedan chair, appearing a few hundred meters outside the warning area of the Linglong Experimental Headquarters.
"The motorcycle in front of you stops immediately! All personnel squatted with their heads in their hands! This is the headquarters of the Linglong Experiments, and we have the right to kill any survivor whose movements are unknown and who cannot be identified as infected! ”
The person who shouted was the captain of the escort team on both sides of the station with steel guns at the entrance of the wall, this person looked about forty years old, his face was sallow, but his waist pole was standing straight, he must have been a serious team officer, right?
Lin Xiao cooperated to stop the motorcycle, and stretched out his hands to show that he had no weapon in his hand, but he did not raise his hands above his head as he requested.
Peng Ling, who was sitting in the back seat, also followed Lin Xiao's example, slowly getting off the car, stretching out her arms with her palms open, and making an appearance of cooperating with the inspection.
Seeing that neither of them was excited, the officer's face also relaxed, he waved his hand at the soldiers beside him, and the two soldiers with loaded guns walked towards the two.
"Take out the ID and I'll take a look!" The officer approached with a cold face and said in a cold voice.
Proof of identity? Lin Xiao was a little confused, what is this? Could it be that the Linglong Experimental Headquarters has completed the census work in the last days? That's a bit of a challenge!
Peng Ling was the first to reflect, she smiled slightly wryly: "We are survivors, and when we saw the placard of your headquarters, we looked for it all the way, so we didn't have the identity certificate, and the ID card before the outbreak of the doomsday had already been lost!" ”
Hearing this, the officer was also stunned, they had indeed accepted many survivors before, and these survivors were all more than a dozen people, or even dozens or hundreds of people acting collectively, so that they could hold on all the way to the front of the Linglong Experimental General Department, but these two people in front of them.
Suddenly, an idea suddenly came to mind, and the officer's face softened slightly: "You are deviants? What rank is the strength? ”
Deviants? Dan? Peng Ling was also stunned at this time, she only knew that she and Lin Xiao belonged to the evolutionary, but what the hell was the mutant? What the hell is the rank?
The officer also saw the confusion of the two, and thought in his heart that the two in front of him did not seem to have the slightest trace of starvation, and they could survive in the wilderness without starving, and nine times out of ten they were deviants! I couldn't help but patiently explain: "Has there been some change in your body? For example, the strength becomes greater, or the speed becomes faster? Or is there something else that didn't exist before the apocalypse? ”
"Oh! You mean evolution? Peng Ling immediately understood, she just wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Lin Xiao.
"That's right, I've become very good at eating, she's been able to run, and I haven't noticed anything else special about it for the time being." Lin Xiao couldn't help but smile and hid his clumsiness, what he was more curious about was the division of the deviants in this headquarters, he wanted to know how many deviants there were in this headquarters, what rank they were, and what star rating they corresponded to.
Seeing that Lin Xiao didn't tell the truth, Peng Ling was also silent, although she didn't understand why Lin Xiao wanted to hide it, wouldn't the stronger the higher the treatment in the last days? But she is very smart, after coming into contact with Lin Xiao in the past few days, Lin Xiao has never been untargeted, and everything she does and says has a plan, so Peng Ling simply stopped talking and cooperated with Lin Xiao's performance with peace of mind.
The officer's attitude also changed suddenly, and he no longer had the cold words he had before, but said with a slight smile: "Haha! Little brother, you're hiding what you're saying! Especially able to eat the corresponding, it should be especially able to fight, right? Presumably, one of you is a power-type mutant and the other is a speed-type mutant, and both of these mutation directions are very strong! Come with me into town! All you need to do is verify your identity as a mutant, and someone will communicate with you! ”
Hearing this, Lin Xiao also nodded, and the broken motorcycle under his buttocks, which didn't know how many screws he had tossed along the way, simply kicked it out more than ten meters away.
Seeing the strength of Lin Xiao's kick, the officer's pupils contracted slightly, and his heart surged even more, he could see that with this strength alone, at least he was a high-level deviant! Recruit a high-level mutant to join the Linglong Experimental Headquarters, this credit! Gee.
In this way, under the heat of heart, in order to let Lin Xiao and the others stay, the smile on the officer's face became even more amiable.
"My name is Liu Chao, a few years older than the two of you, if you don't mind calling me Brother Liu!" Liu Chao said so, pointing to a moire medal on his chest: "Well, this is the level screening of the mutant, I was lucky, I barely assessed the sixth-level mutant in the middle section, so this moire is the red three-layer, if I am not mistaken, this brother you are at least the purple second-layer, if you are willing to stay, at least you can be a deputy commander, and then you have to take care of my brother!" ”
Lin Xiao looked in the direction of Liu Chao's finger, the moire medal on his chest should be made of aluminum alloy, with a layer of red color plated on it, and there were three layers of moire, so he couldn't help nodding slightly.
The scan of the omniscient artificial intelligence shows that this Liu Chao only has the strength of about half a star, that is to say, his various basic abilities are far more than the average number of times, but he has not yet reached the strength of a star.
According to this analogy, Peng Ling's three-star strength corresponds to a far superior high-stage deviant? Could it be that since the outbreak of the apocalypse, the most powerful evolutionary in the Linglong Experimental Headquarters is only a one-star strength? I'm afraid this is not scientific!
You must know that Peng Ling can become a wild two-star strength when she awakens on her own and doesn't know how to speed up the pace of evolution, so the bigwigs in the Linglong Experimental Headquarters, relying on the power of the entire Linglong Experimental Headquarters, haven't they become three-star and four-star?
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao couldn't help but ask, "Brother Liu, can you tell us about this rank?" I felt a little dizzy. ”
"Oh! It's easy! Liu Chao didn't take it seriously, took out a small black book from his arms and handed it to Lin Xiao: "Well, this is the rating regulations for deviants issued by the headquarters, there are different evaluation standards for deviants in different directions, like you, the strength type, that is, the strength is based on the size of the strength to evaluate, like the speed type, it is evaluated according to the time of the 100-meter sprint, as for other types, there are more complex, but more accurate evaluation methods, there will be a special person to receive you later, in the headquarters, the deviant can be a level higher than the free man." , take a little step forward, and you can enter your circle, so ah, it's good for you to stay! ”
Free man? Your circle? Lin Xiao was stunned for a while, this Linglong Experimental Headquarters is really awesome, the situation in the last days has not yet stabilized, they began to distinguish between three, six, nine and so on, it is really bureaucratic style!
"So, what about the lowest, middle, and higher levels? Are there any higher-level deviants? Lin Xiao continued to ask.
Liu Chao glanced at Lin Xiao with a complicated face, and had mixed feelings in his heart: "Brother, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, it's true that the higher the rank of the mutant, the better the prediction, but the greater the danger he faces!" Of course, there are more than high-level deviants, but those people are not accessible to my level at all! They generally join several high-level hunting groups, enjoy the treatment of the main group, and the death rate is extremely high! ”
Saying this, Lin Xiao understood that the Emotional Linglong Experimental Headquarters was reproducing the traditional conventions before Huaxia! On the bright side, it is never the strongest, these so-called middle-level and high-level are just reserves of the hunting group, give them a slightly higher treatment, it is nothing more than hoping that they will not worry about their livelihood, so that they can concentrate on improving their evolution, to make up for the battle damage of the hunting group!
After thinking about this, seeing that Liu Chao was out of interest, Lin Xiao didn't say a word, and entered the Linglong Experimental Headquarters from the entrance under the leadership of Liu Chao.
At the entrance, there were also a number of ordinary survivors who were being examined and interrogated, most of whom were wearing rough steel armor and carrying long knives and short guns.
Maybe it was seeing Lin Xiao turn his head and a large number of ordinary survivors, Liu Chao suddenly laughed: "Don't look at them, in the future, you and them will not be the same kind of people!" They need to pay the exit tax when they go out of the city, and they also need to pay the entry tax when they enter the city, and they work hard to barely take care of food and clothing, but after the two of you accept the level assessment, you will at least be one level higher than my squadron leader position, and the monthly salary alone is enough to live well! ”
Exit tax Entry tax? Who is this Nima? It's just exploitation, isn't it good! Lin Xiao felt a burst of anger in his heart, it was hard enough to struggle to survive in the last days, it was understandable that you would receive the city tax, but your city tax was a bit excessive, right? Do you have to pay taxes before you go out hunting?
"So, what if someone really doesn't have anything to pay their taxes?" Peng Ling suddenly asked, her face was full of puzzlement, whether it was the rich life before the end of the world, or the hardships and hardships after the outbreak of the apocalypse, she couldn't understand the meaning of the existence of this city tax.
But Liu Chao glanced at the survivors who were separated separately on the side with disdain, and snorted at them: "Well, just like them, if they don't have materials to pay taxes, then they can only go to be slaves, anyway, if they continue to be free people, they will starve to death, it is better to live as slaves for a few more years!" ”
Lin Xiao was silent, Peng Ling was also silent, in this world, not only zombies will eat people, but people will also eat people!
Liu Chao noticed the emotions of the two, and his heart was also a little stunned, recalling that when he first led the team to retreat to the Linglong Experimental Headquarters, he was also puzzled by this like these two, but as time went by, when he also enjoyed the preferential treatment of this unfair treatment, this emotion became numb and cold, and what can change people's hearts is not only time and desire, but also benefits!
