Chapter 493: Temporary Old Driver
Chapter 223: Temporary Old Driver
Lin led the way with a swagger in front, and Fritsch followed behind without hurry. Everyone in the castle bowed and greeted the two men when they saw them. Lin Zaishan is still self-aware and understands that this is the result of his own fox and fake tiger power, so he does not have the slightest "fluttering".
The two went to the storeroom and rented a zebra buggy. Since helicopters are still being repaired, and the number of raptors in the sky is particularly high today, only ground vehicles can be used.
John had specifically told them that they could borrow any individual equipment stored in the storehouse, except for helicopters. These two people are human spirits, and their ideas are far from ordinary people. Lin Zaishan asked for a bag of crystals, a bunch of inexplicable electronic components, some paper, a pen, a few ropes, and a waterproof backpack. Fridge brought a large bag of various ammo, but he did not receive the corresponding firearms; He also specifically asked for a bottle of high spirits by name. For another person, the treasury is absolutely not allowed to take wine, but the applicant is Fritsch, so naturally it is a different matter.
In front of the Zebra buggy, Fritch commanded, "Open the door for me." ”
Lin did so immediately, and then sat in the driver's seat - he was a natural and hard-working man, and he was happy to drive to serve his companions.
Fritsch sat down in the back seat as a matter of course, leaned back comfortably, and shouted, "Let's go." ”
Known for its ability to adapt to diverse terrain, strong maneuverability, and low failure rate, the zebra off-road vehicle rushed out of the castle gate with Lin Zaishan's unique action style. Marcus, who happened to lead the patrol here, took a nose of car exhaust and cursed secretly: "Asian monkeys and North American wild asses are really a fucking natural pair." ”
//////
"Tell me, wise man, what do you think of the impending crisis at John's Castle?" Lin Zaishan asked eagerly.
"While your head is still growing on you, eat more and talk less." Fritsch didn't sound like he wanted to talk about it at all.
"If there are millions of zombie soldiers in the city, should we continue to choose to ignore them? I'm afraid that if it goes on like this, eventually the foodies will become zombie food. ”
"Worrying about things that are beyond your own ability, not to mention whether you are competent or not, is not something you can afford in a role like you in terms of the unintended consequences of reckless action."
"According to your point of view, the safety of nearly 2,000 people in John's Castle is enough as long as John and you worry about it, so why do you keep us little people busy every day?"
"What keeps you busy is what you can do, and don't get involved in what you don't get involved in. Also, I'm going to do a meditation practice now, don't disturb me. ”
Fritsch sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed and entered a meditative state.
Lin Zaishan smiled bitterly and continued to drive. He is now focused on three things: to investigate the situation around the road and prevent sudden risks; Driving, deftly dodging various roadblocks and passing the most complex road conditions; Thinking about the impending zombie crisis and countermeasures.
You don't need to worry about traffic lights when driving on the roads of the last days, but that doesn't mean you're free from restraint and danger. In fact, if you are not careful, you can fall into a bottomless crevasse, or be hit by zombies and beasts that suddenly burst out, or you can press on small slow-moving bugs, snakes, frogs and trigger their violent reactions, and of course, you may encounter some moving plants, the latter of which is especially terrifying.
If driving a zebra chariot through 70 kilometers before the end of the world is like a leisurely stroll, then in the early days of the end of the world is equivalent to a sharp moment, requiring full attention; And in this current "deep apocalypse", it is basically equivalent to "generous death", unless there are people with superb abilities and strong combat power, it will be difficult to move an inch.
For Lin Zaishan, this is a big test. He does not guarantee absolute smoothness and safety, but he has enough means to face and resolve the multiple problems encountered on the road.
//////
More than an hour passed, and the Zebra buggy had only traveled 30 kilometers. Fritsch awoke from his meditative state, shook his neck gracefully, and lit a cigarette beautifully.
"Isn't that bad for your health?" Lin Zaishan, who has a medical background, is ready to advise.
"Worry about your own business, driver!" Fritch spat out a neat smoke ring.
Lin Zaishan sniffed and said with a smile: "The tobacco you are enjoying should be produced in South Asia, and the smoke has the smell of the tropical sea and the unique elements of a certain soil in the Philippines." ”
"It's nothing more than a Cuban product. Selling knowledge doesn't make you seem more knowledgeable. ”
"I'm sure you've read the note I delivered yesterday, so let's comment on it, how is my English?"
"It's as bad as your clothes." Fritsch took out a piece of paper from his arms and said in a show-off tone: "Let you appreciate my Chinese, which has a poem I made myself." ”
"Chinese?" Lin Zaishan immediately realized that there was a drama in it. He took the note and only glanced at it, and there were 3 lines with a total of 28 words written on it: "The nine-star chain is not a wonder, and the palace Langyuan is not new." Add me three years to learn easily, and the secret will of heaven is at the snap of a finger. ”
He ran his fingers over the back of the paper, and sure that there was no ink or other handwriting, he crumpled it up and threw it out of the window, and mocked in his mouth: "Your Chinese is terrible!" To this extent, you still dare to write poetry? Do you know what I Ching is? ”
"I definitely know more than you do."
"Then please give me advice."
"To put it simply, I Ching is a kind of book and knowledge about divination. I read the I Ching and learned divination based on numbers. ”
"It's a little too one-sided." Lin Zaishan commented unceremoniously.
"Do you know that I believe in God? Our religious beliefs tend to think that divination is witchcraft. In our Church of Latter-day Saints, those who are able to remain as open to foreign cultures as I am are not in the mainstream. ”
"Let's talk about something practical. If you have mastered the so-called art of divination, why can't you see the impending destruction of John's Castle? Lin Zaishan turned his head to look at Fritsch very sincerely.
"I can see the catastrophe you're about to suffer." Fritch pointed his right finger forward.
Lin Zaishan immediately turned around and saw that 100 meters away, a sixth-level wild boar had come out of the jungle, occupied the middle of the road, and was watching the approaching zebra off-road vehicle with hostility.
"Why do you think this pig is going to be bad for me?" Lin Zaishan stepped on the brakes and asked curiously.
"Because you're as stupid as it is."
"Hey, you're a bit deliberately hurtful, and you don't make a convincing reason."
"This wild boar is in heat and it is attracted to everything related to the sow's estrogen-hormone. And a certain fifth-level crystal you carry on your body happens to come from a certain sow's body, I'm afraid that even the blood stains haven't been cleaned. ”
“Fuck!” After Fritch said this, Lin Zaishan immediately sensed that there was indeed something wrong with the bag of crystals. With his current strength, he has a great chance of defeating the sixth-level wild boar; However, because he does not carry an armor-piercing weapon, it will probably take a lot of effort to compete with the wild boar with the currently discounted ability, and it is very likely to attract wolves, birds of prey, etc.
The sixth-level boar didn't give him much time to weigh up, kicked on his hind legs, and rushed over like a tank, stomping the ground along the way.
Lin Zaishan hurriedly jumped out of the car and ran towards a lake on the right. The sixth-level wild boar was really attracted to him and chased after him.
Fritch gloated over the communicator, "Good luck, don't move too much when you're in love with a sixth-level wild boar." ”
"Why don't you drive away, don't you let me work in vain and even sacrifice?"
"A decent person like me can't drive with his own hands, I have to wait for the driver."
"Pedantic!" Lin Zaishan flew up to a big rock by the lake, and the sixth-level wild boar then arrived, "braked" in time, and hit the stone headlong. The stone that weighed more than a dozen tons rolled down the slope into the lake.
Lin Zaishan immediately had an idea when he saw the stone entering the water, threw his backpack on the shore, jumped into the lake with all his might, and quickly cleaned all the crystals.
The sixth-level wild boar on the shore obviously knew the danger of the lake, and did not get carried away by hormones and went into the water to chase after it, but looked at Lin Zaishan with a "affectionate vein" gaze and stayed in place.
Lin Zaishan tentatively approached the shore, but the wild boar did not react.
"It looks like the sow smell should be gone." He was about to go ashore with confidence, when he suddenly noticed something unusual in the lake behind him, and hurriedly jumped up, somersaulted two times in the air, and dodged the aerial attack of a large fish monster. The fish monster fell straight to the shore after it pounced in the air, and it was about to turn back into the water, when the sixth-level wild boar that was originally standing suddenly rushed up, bit the fish monster's dorsal fin, and dragged it to the shore with all its might, followed by a big bite and a big chew.
"I'll go!" Lin Zaishan was stunned by this scene, "Although wild boars are omnivores, they shouldn't have such fierce hunting abilities, right?" Is this pig also a sperm? ”
When I think of Chengjing, I can't help but think of Dr. Sam, and a very bad thought suddenly pops into my mind: "Could it be that this wild boar is also Sam's experimental subject?" Or in his words, a gamer? ”
Lin Zaishan activated the Eye of Truth ability, concentrated on the body of the wild boar, and sure enough, he found some points of light with extremely powerful energy. Before he could curse Dr. Sam, the latter's characteristic tone echoed in his mind:
"No. 2222, how is this little pig I raised? It's 'loving', isn't it? Look how romantic and clever it is. ”
"Thank you, don't send it!" Lin Zaishan didn't want to beep with this perverted doctor now, so he picked up his backpack and left.
"Don't you want to know if I have a player at the destination of your trip, Fran Arsenal?"
"Am I listening?"
"Nope." Dr. Sam seemed to be happy that he had played on Lin Zaishan again.
"If you don't, don't dazzle."
"I didn't have players in the Arsenal, though; But in another place — I'm talking about a ship, actually — there was one of my proudest players: Lieutenant Marshall. ”
"What ship?"
"You know, it's the ship that will be able to sail around the world after the end of the world. I'm now looking at the ship's profile information and surveillance logs. ”
"This can't be? You're not on board, so how can you make people on board a test subject? ”
"Fool, I haven't been on this ship, but I can send my test subjects aboard. After all, no matter how good the ship is, it also needs to replenish personnel, food, energy, and exchange information with others. Sam paused, "Of course, if you know where they stop next." This is not too difficult for me, who has the ability to monitor remote communication signals. In fact, without fear of a threat from a human warship, the ship uses unencrypted radio technology to communicate almost frequently. ”
"Where will they stop next time?" Lin Zaishan wants to test it.
"You'll know the answer to that question yourself."
Lin Zaishan's brain was running at a high speed, and he suddenly asked in a shocked voice, "Could it be Fran Arsenal?" ”
"Clever! Good luck, number 2222. ”
//////
When he returned to the Zebra buggy, Fritsch was still sitting in the back seat, leisurely sipping the high wine.
"For a long time, you asked for this bottle of wine to come out, just to drink it for yourself?" Lin started the car neatly.
"I have a rule not to drive myself, especially after drinking."
"Gentleman, treat me as a driver, you have to have a tip, right?"
"Tipping is a free warning that you've got another female egg on your clothes."
“Fuck!” Lin Zaishan, who has always been very smart, is a little doubtful of his life today because of his successive low-level mistakes. "I also have a free tip for you: there might be a ship docked near the Fran Arsenal we're going to. It is not clear whether they are friend or foe, and we must prepare a plan. ”
"The boar told you? It seems that the love between the two of you is very rewarding. ”
Dr. Sam thundered in Lin Zaishan's mind, "Who does this stupid hat in a robe think he is?" I must capture him with my own hands and turn him into my lowest test subject! ”
Lin Zaishan said: "You don't mind if I complain a few words now, right?" ”
Dr. Sam and Fritch shouted at the same time, "Mind me! ”
Lin Zaishan shrugged his shoulders and then asked, "Can anyone tell me if there are any survivors in Fran's Arsenal?" ”
Fritch sneered, "I'll just say you're a pig's brain, and if there were survivors, you would have killed all sides with those powerful weapons; However, I've been in L.A. for so long, and I've never seen a weapon from Fran's Arsenal. ”
"It's only 70 kilometers away, so didn't the people in John's Castle have the idea of coming here?"
Fritsch added: "I forgot to tell you one thing: the Fran Arsenal is close to the core of the meteorite explosion, and its surface structure is long gone; However, there is reason to believe that the underground structure should still be intact. Most likely, the arsenal is underground. ”
"Understood, no wonder John fell in love with me, a plumber, to explore the way."
//////
As we got closer to our destination, the traces of the explosion became more and more obvious; Although dense jungle has grown in many areas, the fragments of buildings below are still faintly recognizable.
After passing through several abandoned roads and large jungles, a flat field appeared above the cliffs near the sea ahead. Stubborn post-apocalyptic plants emerge from the ground, but they can't grow and cover them in patches - for the simple reason that the ground is covered with thick reinforced concrete.
"Plumber, let's use your expertise and tell me where the entrance to the underground fortifications is?" Fritch continued to cross his hands like a noble lord.
"Didn't you, the wise man, come and show me the way?"
"I have here a satellite image of the Fran Arsenal before the end of the world and a schematic diagram of the building structure obtained from unknown sources, the credibility of the latter cannot be guaranteed."
Lin Zaishan cautiously took the schematic diagram, as if he had obtained the test paper of the entrance exam, for fear of causing some problems. He stroked the drawings repeatedly, slowly opened them, and only glanced at them again, then immediately closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then threw the drawings back to Fritsch, "What kind of cartographic level is this?" When I was in the third grade of elementary school, I was better than that. ”
Fritch sneered and put away the drawings. "Do you want me to go back and tell John that you're a piece of shit? If you survive. ”
"If you like to sue, please take it easy. See if you can find an old driver like me on your next mission? Lin Zaishan smiled and mocked.
Both stood with their hands behind their backs, facing the sea.
Fritsch raised his wrist first and looked at his expensive watch, "If we keep looking at the sea here and don't look for the entrance to the arsenal, then we might as well compose a poem and entertain ourselves." ”
"I suggest you split up and look for it, I'll go this way, you go over there, and if you can't find it in 30 minutes, you'll go back here and meet."
Fritsch grabbed Lin Zaishan's hand, who was about to turn around, "Stupid pig, don't play any tricks, and don't use your brains to escape." ”
"A selfless person like me, who only cares about the lives and deaths of the vast number of survivors, and doesn't even want his own life, still needs to escape?" Lin Jaishan responded proudly.
//////
Ten minutes later, under the cliff, Lin Zaishan found a hole hidden under the sea, he packed up his things, dived into the hole, climbed along the cave to a depth of more than ten meters, and then swam out of the water. Nearly 100 meters deep along the passage, there is an iron gate.
Lin Zaishan immediately confirmed that this should be an entrance to the arsenal. He returned to the cliff and called Fritch over the communicator.
"How's your job going?" Lin Zaishan asked.
"Only a stupid pig would ask questions." Like a gecko, Fritsch clinged his hands and feet to the cave, climbed over the top of the hill, and then jumped lightly in front of him.
"Gecko ability? Pretty cool. ”
"I've learned the gecko's crawling ability to the fullest." Fritchy seemed proud of it.
"Will you break your tail like a gecko and escape in a critical moment?"
"I'll break your neck." Fritsch was ruthless, but his steps were unhurried.
The two of them came to the iron gate.
Lin Zaishan rushed to open the door lock with a sense of qi and opened the iron door. There is another corridor in the back. He snapped his fingers, and the hallway immediately lit up.
At the end of the hallway is an elevator with a room next to it with two uniformed corpses lying across the floor.
Lin Zaishan probed with his sense of qi, walked out of the room, and faced the elevator.
Fritsch asked, "Plumber, do you think this elevator still works?" ”
"Give it a try and you'll find out." Lin Zaishan casually clicked a button.
With a "ding", the elevator door opened, and more than a dozen weak, skinny zombies appeared inside, and it seemed that most of them had been trapped in the elevator since the beginning of the end of the world, and had never been full, and of course they could not evolve.
Fritsch still crossed his hands, looked at Lin Zaishan, and said politely: "Lady first!" ”
"You're big first!" Lin Zaishan couldn't help but complain in Chinese, and then cast a speed ability, killing all the zombies in 3 seconds and throwing them out of the elevator.
The two entered the elevator and saw that the floor indication button was at least "-18". "Wise man, guess the number, which layer should I go to first?"
"Then let's go straight to the lowest level -18."
The two entered the elevator and pressed the button, but the elevator did not move.
"It turned out that a certain line was broken, but fortunately I brought a lot of electronic components with me, and I could barely replace it." Lin Zaishan uncovered the control panel of the elevator and lifted the fault in a few clicks.
//////
In the dim light of the elevator, Lin Zaishan and Fritsch stood one after the other, patiently waiting for the target floor. The floors here are very different from the ground, and each floor seems to be relatively high and takes a long time.
Never boring himself, Fritsch took a sip of his high wine.
Seeing this, Lin Zaishan took out a crystal, put it in his mouth, and made it extremely comfortable.
"If I'm not mistaken, you just touched a large number of zombies with your bare hands, and now you actually take something and send it directly to your mouth. This hygiene problem can kill you and make you one of them completely. ”
"I can't imagine that you also know how to care about people, I'm really grateful."
"Don't get me wrong, I'm just curious how an idiot like you managed to survive until now."
"Because I'm full of positive energy." Lin Zaishan took a crystal again "Wise man, I have already found out that there are many unfriendly characters behind the elevator who are about to move, most of them have powerful life energy, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the eighteenth layer of hell. If you continue to pretend to be high-minded and sit back and watch, this problem will not only make you die here, but you will most likely become one of them. ”
"A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, well done."
At this time, the elevator reached the destination floor, slowly opened, and the unique roar of zombies came from behind the elevator. Three level 5 zombies with their backs to the elevator suddenly turned around and pounced.
Lin Zaishan drew his twin knives and stepped forward, deliberately cutting down two and keeping one. He expected that the remaining fifth-level zombie would definitely attack Fridge, who was closer, but who knew that it turned around and continued to pursue him.
“Fuck! Even zombies know they can't get along with me. ”
"Because you're the so-called soft persimmon of the two of us." Fritsch smiled and passed past Lin Zaishan, and walked through the "human wall" formed by the three level 4 zombies in front of him, and came to an iron door at the end of the corridor. The zombies all turn a blind eye to Fridge.
"What kind of ability are you?"
"This ability is called a dumb chicken, as long as you don't run, make trouble, and don't fight back every time you see zombies, let them bite a few bites, and your heart is like not moving, it is possible to practice." Fritsch continued to fold his hands in the sleeves of his robe.
"I think most of them will train to be zombies."
Lin Zaishan first controlled the corpses with electric shocks, qi energy beams and other abilities, and then successively performed tricks such as "Throwing Peaches and Sending Plums", "Finding Fish and Flowers", "Wearing Stars and Wearing the Moon", and after more than ten seconds, the corridor was cleaned up.
"You're good, you're the best person I've ever met with dual blades."
"Want to know how I did it?"
"My ears aren't plugged in."
"Every day, I alternate between hitting my face and ass 1,000 times, and then touch my peanut seedlings after every 3-10 random number times, and a clever knife like mine is just around the corner."
"It seems that you have worked very well with this training method." Fritsch took a sip of wine and mocked.
The iron door was rushed open, and Lin Zaishan and Fritsch glanced inside, and were immediately stunned by what they saw behind the door.
