From the perspective of results, if the luck is worse and the people are diligent, they can also make up for it. Luo Ling is a good example, 63 hours after the hunt, Luo Ling finally found a temporary nest for himself and his family, in the new city.
Bank of China Building, once ranked first among the first-class buildings in Guang'an City, and recently, although there are many dilapidated and damaged places, but just looking at the structure of the building, I still feel that the atmosphere is overwhelming, calm and dignified, and it is not difficult to imagine the style of the heyday in the past.
Of course, Luo Ling chose it not because it was eye-catching, but because he was domineering. The glorious reign of the human surface has ended, and the advantages of choosing such eye-catching buildings are really limited, except for finding more unpleasantness for yourself.
Besides, the building is now considered to be a master, a feather angel and its minions occupy this 20-story building, Luo Ling roughly counted when conducting field surveys, there are more than 100 monsters of all kinds, mainly some dark angels, evil angels and blood angels, to put it simply, it is a bird's nest.
This building is valued because the 3 basement floors here are quite well preserved, and even if you look at it with a more critical eye, you have to admit that it is difficult to find a more suitable place than this place among the ready-made products.
First of all, probably due to the strength and performance needs of the time, the Bank of China Building has a top-level underground vault, the deepest part of the underground part B3 floor, homogeneous steel plate inner wall, concrete pouring whole, and even has a vibration alarm system to prevent drilling and a ventilation system independent of the ground building.
In terms of the tightness of the vault, the vault of the Bank of China does have the style of similar products in Hollywood blockbusters. However, there is also a disadvantage of almost all such products, which is that they are extremely dependent on electrical energy. Without electricity, many of the defenses are just furnishings.
Luo Ling doesn't need it to have electricity, what Luo Ling needs is an 'empty tin can' with good ventilation, for the time being, he and his family can live in this tin can. Of course, a little space for renovation is still needed, after all, the designers of the vault generally don't consider the comfort of people living here, and Luo Ling just needs to consider this problem, otherwise it is likely that he will not see a monster, but he will force himself out of a neurasthenia and depression or something like that.
Fortunately, Luo Ling didn't plan to let himself and his wives live in this metal cage for a long time. The characteristics of the vault make it more suitable as a training ground and a shelter for monsters to invade, and the space of the real owner, Luo Ling feels that the B2 floor is more suitable.
The main function of the B2 floor is a medium-sized bank's custody repository for personal belongings, and another well-defended iron cage. Compared to the B3 tonnage alloy door, Luo Ling thought that the dense metal cabinets here were obviously easier to deal with. After these eye-catching things are removed and transformed into living rooms, the security of the walls and the top floor is sufficient, and the total space of the size of the first floor is enough for the Luo Ling family to do anything.
The B1 floor is the location of the data room and the backup power supply system, the data room still has some value from a long-term perspective, and the power supply system is already a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron, after all, the emergence of magic power generation will be compared with nuclear power generation, and the fuel power generation here will naturally have to be more backward.
Although the roof of the B1 floor is more than three meters away from the surface, Luo Ling does not plan to use it as a quarantine area for the time being, or design it as a combat area to protect against invasions.
What Luo Ling values most about the BOC Building is that the only elevator leading to the third basement floor operates separately and only leads to the first floor. Other than that, there is no other entrance. In other words, as long as Luo Ling gets this portal done, then the safety factor below is quite guaranteed.
Luo Ling knew very well that what he needed to guard against was actually not those monsters, because most of the monsters currently active on the surface had limited intelligence, and some very simple desires made them put too much enthusiasm and energy into fighting, eating, and copulation, and they knew very little about the relics of human civilization, and they could find a place to look pleasing to the eye to hide from the cold, snow and rain, which was already the limit of their use of buildings.
It's the witchers who can really be bad, and places like the head office of the bank always attract stupid adventurers to explore and search, and many people prefer to believe that there are still valuable things in such places that have not been taken away, such as those in the storage lockers of personal belongings, without their own personal confirmation. The items that Ken kept for a rental fee of 12,800 a year were generally considered to be good goods, such as diamonds and jade......
Therefore, Luo Ling felt that the bird feather family who moved upstairs first, it was better not to move, this group of monsters was enough to discourage ordinary stupid demon hunters, if there was really a master team, of course, the probability of this happening should not be too high, after all, for masters, the bank is not a valuable target. Even if there is one in ten thousand, some masters think of taking the sheep by hand and visiting the vault after destroying the bird feather family, Luo Ling will pretend to be a ghost, make the other party disgraced, and even let them evaporate from the world. As for whether this kind of behavior is a bit of a conscience, Luo Ling didn't think about this kind of problem a long time ago, too many lives died because of him, whether it was active and passive, intentional or not, he couldn't choose himself, besides, the world is big, and the need for survival is the greatest, if he doesn't even have such a little ruthlessness, then now the artemisia on his grave is how tall a person is, Luo Ling knows this very well.
After exploring the three underground floors, Luo Ling could have returned to the base of Glorious Street directly from the Shadow Plane, but he felt that the harvest of this hunting was not very rich, so he decided to take advantage of the fact that there was still some time to hunt again.
The Bank of China Tower is located on the edge of the new city, and Luo Ling walked east less than a kilometer before entering the suburbs, entering a small plain that was as desolate as the road leading to the airport in the old city.
The smooth snow has eliminated a lot of the originally rich night, Luo Ling discerns the direction of stepping on the snow and sweeping to the northeast, in the whistling wind, listening to the creaking, creaking sound of stepping on the snow, looking at the eyes of the monsters floating far or near like ghost fire, Luo Ling found that this kind of snowy night hunting alone made him particularly comfortable.
"Is it the whiteness of the snow, or the depth of the night, or the chill of the cold air and the feeling of emptiness that makes me excited?" Carrying a sword in one hand and a gun in the other, Luo Ling hunted alone and consciously used cold weapons, all because of his research on weapon making, which required the so-called gun soul sword spirit.
"Huh?" Three hours after the hunt, Luo Ling, who was resting behind a leeward mound, suddenly noticed something unusual. A few hundred meters to his north, there appeared to be a group of adventurers traveling from east to west.
"Looking at the route of these people when they came, it seems that it is the old city, but the direction of travel should not be the new city, otherwise they should be inserted diagonally to the south, according to their current route and speed, more than an hour away, and they will enter the mountain. It's 3 o'clock in the morning, and you're rushing into the mountains overnight? "The intention of this group of people to walk at night is not the strangest thing that makes Luo Ling feel the strangest, the strangest thing is that there seems to be a horizontally developed squirrel in the team, who is only a little out of his head, but his body width has reached a level that is more robust than that of a normal adult, and there is more than one such skug.
"Disability team? Or dwarves? Due to the distance, Luo Ling could only see a general outline, and at the same time, a spiritual light suddenly flashed in his mind, "Dwarf from the other world!" ”
Luo Ling became interested, and he continued to crouch motionless in the shadow of the mound like a rock, coldly watching the group go west. It wasn't until they disappeared into the boundless night that Luo Ling shot out, running like an elegant leopard, looking for footprints, unhurriedly embellished beyond the limits of each other's field of vision.
"It's an open area, and when you enter the mountains, you can quickly get up close and observant."
In fact, Luo Ling's wish came true ahead of schedule. After tracking for more than 20 minutes, several closely connected ramie fields allowed Luo Ling's goal to be achieved.
Those ramie have been dead for years, but they have not died completely by the magic energy, and one by one they have lost their branches and leaves, and they are standing up with a straight pole, glowing with a dark green luster, like a forest of arrows. Luo Ling relied on his cover to approach the group.
When I got closer, I found that this team of more than a dozen people turned out to be two groups of people, seven of whom still knew each other, it was the hunter I saw when I was drinking with Gardi that day, a veteran of the Holy Horse, with six rookies. Luo Ling found that their situation was not very good, although they were wearing armor, they had no weapons, and they were tied to their hands by a rope, obviously someone else's captive.
There were six other men, two of whom were dwarves, and the little man was shorter than the dwarf, and relatively thin, presumably a dwarf, and the rest, a majestic minotaur, an armoured human, and a slender humanoid creature wearing robes, a staff, and a hood, possibly a female human.
Luo Ling smiled to himself suspiciously. "What is this for? The Otherworldly Hunting Team went to Earth to fight the autumn wind? Can I do the other way around and become a 'rare beast' dealer? ”
The goal had been set, but Luo Ling was not in a hurry. "Be careful to make the 10,000-year-old ship, or touch the bottom of the other party."
The first step is to observe. With the superb technique of stealth and concealment, Luo Ling relied on a piece of ramie as a backing, took the first step, and lurked more than 100 meters away from the team's route, this distance, under the full force, Luo Ling could listen to the other party's breathing and see the other party's walking situation clearly. Through these, he could roughly deduce the physical strength of these otherworldly adventurers.
After three consecutive appraisals, Luo Ling found that in terms of physical fitness, even the female mage was far above the level of ordinary people, among them, the strongest was the human male in armor, and the lightest was the dwarf, Luo Ling could hardly find his shoe prints on the snow. In comparison, those two dwarves and minotaurs, there is nothing too special, warriors, strength players, Luo Ling estimates that they have some unique skills, otherwise, the team structure of this team of adventurers is too weird.
The second step is to wait for the opportunity. Luo Ling decided to patiently follow this group for a short distance, wait until he entered the mountain, and then use the terrain to give the other party a sudden blow, or, if the other party has friction with the monster, it is also a good opportunity.
