Code of Wasteland Survival

Although Qi Lin has figured out the rules of the game and how to break the chess game, how about an old saying?

The ideal is full, realistic and skinny.

After one operation, there are still the last six chess pieces left on the chessboard. These six chess pieces are like six isolated islands facing each other in the sea, and there is no slightest connection between them. That is to say, Qi Lin It is no longer possible to move any of these pieces any further.

Crack failed.

These words appeared on the chessboard, and then the chessboard returned to its original appearance.

There is still one hour and forty minutes remaining on the projection. Qi Lin wiped off a drop of sweat that had slipped from his temples to his chin, took a deep breath, and picked up a chess piece again...

...

The second time I failed, there were still four pieces left on the board, and there was one hour and twenty-two minutes left in the remaining time...

...

The third failure, there are still two pieces left on the board, and there are fifty-six minutes left in the remaining time...

...

When there were less than 30 minutes left in the remaining time, Qi Lin had to shrink his body into a ball, because the walls and ceiling had compressed this space into a cube with a side length of less than one meter. The two sniper rifles were blindly disassembled by Qi Lin into a pile of original parts with both hands when he was thinking about the chess game—otherwise, the excessively long barrels would have been crushed by the ever-shrinking space.

There are still twenty-two pieces left on the chessboard, but they are divided into two continents with clear lines, and the ocean separated from each other is seven squares away.

Qi Lin understands that if things continue like this, these two continents will eventually become two isolated islands that cannot be touched, just like the last time they failed. He can only continue to use other pieces as springboards to make the two islands untouchable. The Continent is slowly approaching under the condition of continuous reduction, so that there is only one chess piece left in the end...

Qi Lin's brain began to run crazily, calculating the next route after every move, and the ceiling of the corridor was getting lower and lower, and it had already stuck to the back of his head and the back of his neck. Qi Lin's elbow was You must stick tightly to your waist, cross your arms in front of your chest, and use two fingers to move the virtual chess pieces...

... There are eighteen minutes left in the time, and Qi Lin's body has been oppressed to the limit, he can even hear the teeth-stinging creaking sound of his whole body's bones...

As there are fewer and fewer chess pieces left, the situation becomes more and more clear, and Qi Lin moves faster and faster—it’s just that there is a limit to the facilities that receive Qi Lin’s body movements and the speed of virtual projection changes. Yes, if it is a realistic chess game, in one second, with Qi Lin's speed and reaction, he can move more than a dozen chess pieces in an instant, but here, he must maintain a constant speed that is neither fast nor slow...

And... the last... step...

Finally, when one of the last two chess pieces was eliminated by the other, the ever-shrinking space finally stopped, and then they retreated in their respective directions at a rapid speed, less than ten seconds The bell, and the metal corridor was restored to its original appearance.

But now Qi Lin, when he looked at the metal walls on both sides, was full of precautions - the ghost knows what tricks are waiting for him after he has cracked this chess game...

Successful cracking, you have obtained the most basic [Visitor] permission of Base 404.

The long-lost mechanical sound sounded again, the metal wall that blocked the way forward shrank in the blink of an eye, and the dazzling red light in the corridor also changed back to the original faint blue.

Is this considered... pass?

Qi Lin took a long bite and moved his bones that were oppressed and sore all over his body - if he was slow for two or three minutes just now, he would inevitably break a few bones.

Bone Nightmare's genetic ability doesn't come with a bone shrinking technique, what a bad review...

Picking up the gun parts and modules scattered on the ground, Qi Lin reassembled the Gauss sniper rifle and the PSG-1, and put his back behind him.

Hey, by the way, you can always tell me now, what the hell is this place? Qi Lin shouted to the ceiling, if he said that this is an arsenal, Qi Lin would not believe it even if he was killed.

The way to enter the door is actually to play chess, if you can't pass it, you will be crushed into a meat sauce, this 404 base, Qi Lin's first impression is full of bad taste, and quite unreliable.

Sorry, your authority is only 'Visitor'. Your question involves the secrets of Base 404, so I can't answer it. Yes no answer.

According to the meaning of this AI system, the visitor's authority should be limited to staying inside the 404 base, or to put it a little harsher, it is just the minimum that does not kill Qi Lin as an illegal intruder... As for the other and the base Qi Lin has no right to know the relevant content.

Then... is there anyone alive in the 404 base? Qi Lin thought for a while, and changed the way of asking the question. If there are living people in the base, that is, NPCs, that would be better than this incommunicable rigid AI.

After testing, you are the only human in the base with signs of life.

... In other words, this is an empty base?

Can that open the airtight door?

Request to deny. The 'Visitor' permission is limited to visiting the base and does not include the permission to leave the base.

...Damn it. After hearing the AI's answer, Qi Lin was almost pissed off. Visitors can only visit, but not leave. What kind of gangster logic is this?

Is Base 404 a prison? But prisons don't detain people who come to visit, do they?

Communicating with this pissed-off AI will obviously lead to nothing. Since he can't leave, Qi Lin still plans to walk out of this tunnel first to see what the inside of Base 404 looks like.

AI refuses to tell me the function of this base, so why not use my own eyes to see it?

With this thought in mind, Qi Lin quickly walked out of the corridor and turned the corner——

……What's this?!

What appeared in front of Qi Lin was not so much an abandoned underground base as a tragic battlefield!

This is an incomparably huge underground space, with various sci-fi-style buildings lined up one after another. It looks like an underground future city—but, this city has been completely destroyed by fierce battles.

The end of the corridor is connected to a square with an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters. On the metal floor of the square, there are human skeletons and scrapped power armor everywhere. Roughly estimated, the people who died in this square alone There are at least 20,000 to 30,000 people...

Gudong.

Qi Lin swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and walked to the nearest power armor. This is a T-46 power armor. This type of power armor is a very early type, and it is the first generation of the American army. The improved version of the power armor T-45 has great sales in both military and civilian markets.

And on the chest of this T-46 power armor, there is actually a hole with a diameter of more than ten centimeters, which runs through the front and back, and the incision is very smooth-in Qi Lin's memory, there is no such thing as a weapon at all. , will cause such a weird destructive effect.

And at a little distance away, another power armor was scorched black, as if it had been scorched by flames, but there was no trace of burnt on the metal floor beneath it...

Here... where the hell... what happened...?
