Borderlands: The Death Exam Chapter 50: The Horror Hunting Ground (3)

Shu Yungui followed the little boy back to his so-called "base".

In Shu Yungui's cognition, the base has a huge area and a regular structure, such as the Xihe military base, which is majestic and well-equipped, or as hidden and unknown as the IAFA base.

At the very least, it has to be like the Starstream Standby Station, with an independent building complex.

But this "base" that the little boy brought him here was a real eye-opener for him.

This is the foundation of an abandoned construction site, several floors underneath, with no water or electricity, and it is pitch black except for a few steaming bonfires.

Shu Yungui glanced at the embers of the bonfire that had not yet been completely extinguished, and knew that there were still people here just now.

"Lao Chen! It's me Tang Yue! Don't hide! ”

The little boy's voice echoed through the empty foundation, and soon there was a rustling movement in the quiet space.

Shu Yungui looked up and saw that there were many people hiding in the exposed ceiling pipes.

The leading man's name is Lao Chen, he is already old, his sideburns are gray, he climbed down from the ceiling alone, and with the help of the faint light of the lighter, he carefully looked at Shu Yungui's entire face, and then beckoned everyone else to come out.

Tang Yue walked over, helped Lao Chen relight the bonfire, and introduced Shu Yungui to him.

"I met him by the river, it was new, and he robbed the hunter's flying motorcycle, I saw it was good, and brought it back to show you."

Lao Chen glanced at him, lit a cigarette on the bonfire, and then flexed his knuckles to give Tang Yue a violent shudder.

"Stupid boy! Have you figured out who he is? Dare to bring it back! If it's the bad guys, we're all done now! ”

Before Tang Yue could speak, Shu Yungui laughed first and said, "Everyone is the prey, what good guys and bad guys are there?" There are only people here who want to live. ”

Lao Chen looked at him for a while, pointed to the bonfire with his hand holding the cigarette, and motioned for him to sit down, as if he accepted him.

Shu Yungui was not polite to him, and sat cross-legged opposite Lao Chen, and found two potatoes roasted on the edge of the bonfire.

"Soldier?"

Although Lao Chen is old, his eyesight is good, and he broke Shu Yungui's identity in one word.

"How do you tell?" Shu Yungui smiled and asked, "Don't we all wear the same clothes?" ”

Lao Chen took a puff of cigarette, this kind of homemade cigarette was so powerful that even Shu Yungui, who was sitting next to him and smoking second-hand smoke, felt choked.

"You stood there just now, it's a standard queue and a short rest posture, your fingers are calloused, not much, but you must have touched the gun, Tang Yue said that you robbed the hunter's flying motorcycle, then it is not an ordinary person."

He looked at Shu Yungui with eagle-sharp eyes and said, "Are you an undercover agent sent by the alliance army?" ”

Shu Yungui was a little stunned, and Tang Yue hurriedly explained: "Lao Chen was also a soldier when he was young, and I heard that he has been a soldier for many years!" ”

"It turned out to be an old-timer."

Shu Yungui said: "I am still a student of the Alliance Flight Academy, and I haven't graduated, let alone an undercover agent of the military." ”

"That flight academy on Wright?"

Lao Chen nodded thoughtfully, and asked him again: "You are both a superior person of Wright Star and a military academy background, how could you get involved in our Bo Xing's game of smelling the wind?" ”

"What kind of superior people, they are all in the new ephemeris era, are people still divided into three, six, nine and so on?"

He hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I don't know how I came to Boxing, when I opened my eyes, someone wanted to kill me, and I was forced to protect myself and kill him." ”

Lao Chen exhaled a puff of smoke and said slowly: "Then it seems that the farmer mistook your identity when he caught the prey, and for the sake of insurance, they generally don't reach out to the people of Wright Star." ”

"I heard Tang Yue say that Bo Xing's wind game is managed by the farmer, Uncle Chen, do you know the specific identity of the farmer?"

Lao Chen shook his head, raised his foot and added a piece of wood into the bonfire.

"I've survived this game for twenty weeks, and I've never seen anyone know the identity of the farmer, but what I can tell you is that the farmer is very dangerous."

"Twenty weeks?"

Shu Yungui was really taken aback, it seemed that the number of prey he saw in the Wenfeng game system was cumulative, once a prey was killed, the farmer would put new prey into it to maintain the rated ratio of hunters to prey on this hunting ground.

And their team failed in the mission in the Bone Hospital, and being sent to the Wenfeng game is a systematic punishment, but the CGP examination committee belongs to the military, and the alliance military has a connection with the farmer?!

Although he had heard Cheng Sikong say before that the game of hearing the wind was raised from the high-level of Wright Star, Shu Yungui was still surprised that the alliance military would take the initiative to provide prey to the farmer.

What kind of unknown identity does this boss hidden behind the scenes have?

"Lao Chen is the longest-surviving prey so far! The bets on him among the hunters are more than 10 million. ”

Tang Yue moved over a small bag, opened it and saw that it was full of potatoes.

"That's all you eat?"

"It's nice to have potatoes to eat."

Tang Yue threw the potatoes into the bonfire and said: "We are all injected with miniature positioning chips, and we will be found by hunters wherever we run, only this building was originally going to be built as a military building, and the construction was mixed with reflective materials, so we can hide under this to shield the positioning signal." ”

"We can only go out while the hunters are sleeping, short-term food is easy to spoil, and potatoes and sweet potatoes can be stored for a long time."

Tang Yue took out a roasted potato from the fire with a wooden stick, wrapped it in his sleeve, handed it to Shu Yungui, and said generously: "Eat it." ”

The skin of the potatoes was already paste, and the inner core was dry and choking, Shu Yungui took a bite, and it was really difficult to swallow.

It's hard to imagine what kind of physical and psychological torture the prey is going through.

It is even harder to imagine how Lao Chen persevered for twenty weeks.

Not to mention dealing with hunters who may appear at any time, Shu Yungui felt that if he was allowed to eat baked potatoes for twenty weeks in a row, he might not have the strength to stand up again.

The most important thing is that these so-called prey are all normal people and should have a normal life.

Just because they are powerless and have a low status, they are forced to become the amusement toys of the superiors.

Shu Yungui turned his head to look at the other prey, all of them were very thin and timid people, and when they looked at Shu Yungui, they all lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.

Shu Yungui really couldn't figure it out, what fun was it in bullying and killing these low-capable and timid people? Even if it is hunting malignant mutants on Wright, at least the malignant mutants still have the ability to fight back, but what about these people? They can't even run.

The so-called clumsy imitation is just a stepping stone for the Bo celebrities and elites to integrate into the higher world.

The lives of these innocent people are just a small talk point when the powerful approach the higher ones.

The ugliness of human nature is vividly reflected here.

He exhaled silently, swallowed all the baked potatoes, and asked Lao Chen while holding his choked chest: "Uncle Chen, you have enough experience, can you tell me where to find the farmer?" Or where do the hunters go the most? ”

Lao Chen's gaze was very deep against the backdrop of the dancing flames, and he did not answer Shu Yungui's question, but stopped him by saying, "How capable can you be alone?" The young man was so high-spirited that he killed a hunter and thought he could turn the sky upside down. ”

Shu Yungui said in a sincere tone: "Uncle Chen, I know very well how capable I am, and I can't hide it, I have a group of friends who may also be involved in this game, including two girls and a child who has just graduated from high school." ”

"I have to find them as soon as possible, I know that the farmer will threaten the prey with his family, you are hiding here, you don't go home and don't ask for help, just to protect your family, and I'm the same, I can't let my friends have an accident!"

Lao Chen's eyelids drooped, Xu was moved by Shu Yungui's sincerity, he thought for a moment, and finally spoke.

"I really don't know the whereabouts of the farmer, but the hunters like to go to the Pearl Tower to party, and whenever the hunt is successful, they will go there to celebrate."

Shu Yungui was about to stand up when he heard this, but was held down by Lao Chen.

"It's useless for you to go in the past now, only the powerful can enter the top floor of the Pearl Tower, not to mention that you are still wearing the clothes of the prey, and you are clearly going to give away people's heads."

Shu Yungui sat down with his eagerness and asked, "Uncle Chen, is there any way you can go up to the top of the Pearl Tower?" ”

As the saying goes, there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, Lao Chen snuffed out the cigarette, stuffed a piece of cigarette butt back into the cigarette case, and said quietly with a smoke ring: "I was still in the army back then, and I was assigned to the Pearl Tower on duty......

Shu Yungui knew that there was a drama as soon as he heard it, so he hurriedly sat up straight and listened closer.

"The tower has a total of three floors, the lowest floor is the largest, and now it is the visitor center, you change your clothes, and then go to get a certificate at will, there is no problem to enter this floor, the visitor center is open from 9 am to 9 pm every day."

"The second floor is currently the business floor, which is only used for large enterprises or government dignitaries to hold meetings and drinks, and the opening hours are determined by the tenant, and this floor is very strict, not only with the security of the Pearl Tower, but also brought by the tenant."

"The third floor was originally the control room of the lifting station, but now it is a mysterious world that only the powerful can enter."

"There's only one elevator up and down there, and you have to check your identity several times to get in and out, and all the gatherings are only held after midnight in the evening, and I haven't been up before, but it's said that there are defensive weapons, and they are not small."

Shu Yungui immediately asked, "Was the defensive weapon left over from the period when it was used as a vertical lifting station for the ground of the star-battleship, or was it added by the magnates themselves in the later stage?" ”

"I don't know about this, guess it's both, the upper echelons of Bo Star are different from Wright Star, they are timid and very life-sparing, it's not an exaggeration to describe them as armed to the teeth."

A question mark rose in Shu Yungui's heart, and he said, "Uncle Chen, have you also been in contact with the high-level elites of Wright Star?" ”

Lao Chen ignored his words, but sighed, got up and went deep into the foundation.

Tang Yue was still nibbling on potatoes, and his mouth was bulging to persuade Shu Yungui: "Lao Chen has seen a lot of things in the army before, he just doesn't want to say it, don't ask, I'll go out to find out the news for you when it's dawn, if they succeed in hunting tonight, they will definitely go to the party tomorrow night!" ”

Shu Yungui nodded, looking at the direction of Lao Chen's disappearance and fell into deep thought.
