Chapter 2: System Emergence
After Roger recounted the situation outside, there was a deathly silence in the room, and then an uproar.
But because of Roger's existence, this uproar was also a little suppressed, and finally turned into the whispers of everyone.
As a traverser who didn't know anything, Lin Xinghai naturally pricked up his ears and eavesdropped on the conversations of these people in order to get more information.
It soon became clear to him that numbered shelters like Vault No. 83 were small shelters that didn't have much combat effectiveness as a whole.
And the Star Shield Shelter they were going to, the one with a name, was a medium-sized Shelter.
Medium-sized shelters are larger, more equipped inside, and even have military garrisons.
It is also because of this that they can monitor the outside world and understand so many things.
However, Lin Xinghai also overheard this basic information, and as for more of it, it was some nonsense speculation.
Using the information in his hands, he began to think about the way back.
As Roger said, they are really a group of "white pigs" now, without any combat power, they can only be slaughtered by others, and it is estimated that they will not be much better if they go to the Star Shield Shelter.
He was considering whether to accept Roger's invitation to join the other party's mercenary group.
Although Lin Xinghai didn't know what kind of organization the mercenary group was, the mercenaries could obviously hold guns, if they accepted the other party's invitation......
Wait, when we first met, what did the other party say, inviting myself to be cannon fodder?
However, he believes that if he goes to the other party's mercenary group, he will not really be used as cannon fodder.
Because it was his B-level genetic assessment, he attracted the other party to send an invitation.
But now he still knows too little information, how much cultivation value does B-level genetic assessment have? Is the other party's cultivation method dangerous? He didn't know anything about these things.
"It's better to wait, and find a chance to set up the other party's words." Lin Xinghai silently made a decision in his heart.
At this moment, the troop carrier they were riding in seemed to start, and the sound of the engine was accompanied by a slight tremor of the body.
At the same time, the thick alloy walls around it also open "small windows", which are narrow and long, and should be firing ports.
The firing opening was a little narrower, but it was enough for these people in the car to see the situation outside.
There are at least more than 100 of these personnel carriers parked outside.
In addition to this, there are more than 10 special vehicles.
Lin Xinghai squinted slightly, according to his guess, those were very likely to be armored vehicles, and those who were fully armed inside should be real soldiers.
His gaze continued to wander outward, and from his vantage point, he could see the entire landscape of Vault 83, a structure resembling a bird's nest.
Wait, something seems wrong...... Why is this shelter so empty?
Then the corners of his mouth twitched, and in the distance there was a large instrument cutting through the alloy façade of the vault, where the exposed rock face could already be seen.
No wonder the shelter is so empty, because all the facilities have been demolished, and now even the walls and floors are not spared.
"In the last days, any resource is precious." Roger came to his side at some point and suddenly spoke.
Lin Xinghai was a little silent, the outside world seemed to be more cruel than he imagined.
……
However, he was not given time to sigh, because the vehicle started meant leaving, and the troop carriers lined up and drove towards the outside of the shelter.
After a while, it was their turn to pass the troop carrier, and as the vehicle moved, the angle of observation changed, and Lin Xinghai finally knew how these people had come into this underground shelter.
The other party actually used large-scale engineering equipment to open up a road to the ground.
Well! It's a road, not a tunnel, because it's too big.
How to describe it?
Six lanes in both directions!
is so spacious, Lin Xinghai can only sigh at the rapid development of science and technology.
After only two or three minutes, the vehicle was on the surface.
……
The environment on the surface can only be described in two words, desolate!
As far as the eye could see, there were all dilapidated and collapsed buildings, not a trace of green, no living creatures in sight, and even the sky was gray.
The cold wind poured into the carriage, and Lin Xinghai felt a little cold, is this the earth after the catastrophe?
The other people in the car behaved even more unbearable, and many people cried directly, and the hope in their eyes turned directly into despair.
After the convoy came to the ground, it formed a defensive formation and waited in place for another half hour.
It wasn't until those huge engineering machines pulled up truckloads of alloy steel that the final finishing touches were completed.
The convoy officially drove to the Starshield Shelter.
……
Roar, roar, roar!
After only driving for more than 10 minutes, everyone faintly heard a roar like a wild beast, but this sound was more penetrating than the beast.
"Could it be...... Is this the roar of zombies? Lin Xinghai immediately had a guess in his heart.
The roar was getting closer and closer to the convoy, and the sound was getting louder and louder, as if it was a single piece, if it was really a zombie, then the number would definitely not be small, it must have exceeded hundreds.
As soon as the sounds got close to a certain distance, they were immediately overshadowed by a series of machine-gun fires, which rang out for about half a minute, and when the gunfire stopped, the roars died down.
"Is it solved?" Someone asked in a low voice.
"Hmmm! Solved. Roger nodded, an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth, "White pigs, it's time to teach you a lesson 1." ”
"What Lesson 1?" Seeing Roger's inexplicable smile, many people felt that something was wrong.
But Roger didn't answer this, and the troop carrier continued on its way, soon arriving at the place where the fire had just been exchanged.
Before they could see what was going on, the car stopped and the rear door opened.
Not only them, but also the troop carriers that came later.
Then a member of the Vault was taken down.
"Next, I'm going to take you there, and everyone has to touch those zombies, and that's what Lesson 1 is about." Roger said, pointing to a pile of corpses not far away.
In fact, there is not much difference between zombies and humans in appearance, but the skin is a little pale, and the teeth and nails are extraordinarily long.
So when everyone looked in the direction that Roger was pointing and saw the bloody corpse, many people vomited on the spot.
Especially the women in the field vomited even more, and after vomiting, they retreated with a pale face, not even wanting to look in that direction.
"Everybody lined up for me to touch the zombies, otherwise. Hey! Then stay here and be with these corpses! Roger's voice sounded again, and at this moment, many people felt that this was the whisper of the devil.
Lin Xinghai's face is not good-looking, but he knows that people are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat. So I had to obediently line up and follow the line to the nearest corpse.
This corpse is still relatively intact, except for a small hole in the forehead, which should have been pierced through the head by a direct shot.
But what made him feel strange was that there was a wound on the back of the zombie's head.
He also found that not only the zombie in front of him, but also the zombies around him had such a wound on the back of their heads.
"Mending the knife? But why cut the back of the head? ”
Out of curiosity, and also to complete the task of "Lesson 1", Lin Xinghai stretched out his hand and touched the wound.
"Ding! When the power of blood qi is detected, is it absorbed? ”
