Code of Wasteland Survival

From a bus stop sign lying on the side of the street, Qi Lin learned that the name of this small city by the sea in the Far East is Nerozhsk.

This is a very typical Russian city name, but this town is too small and too unknown. Even on the national map of Russia, it is estimated that it is difficult to find the name of this small town.

Compared with Pripyat, Nerozsk is located in a more remote location, and the city is a little smaller. The city buildings are all crowded in a narrow valley, while in the middle of the city, there is a long and narrow valley. Concrete roads that can only parallel two trucks.

The road runs in the same direction as the valley, running through the entire Nerozsk. On both sides of the road, there are low, dilapidated abandoned buildings.

The city is relatively well preserved, has not experienced the baptism of war, and Qi Lin has not seen traces of explosions or walls covered with bullet holes. It can be seen that all residents here should have fled here before the end of the day. And this city, since it has no military, political or even economic value, has not become the enemy's attack or bombing target.

As for the excessively high radiation concentration, it is due to the terrain. The barrier-like terrain on both sides of the valley firmly locks the radiation in Nerozsk. Compared with cities on the open plains, the radiation here Harder to dissipate slowly over time.

Qi Lin walked more than 200 meters on the only road in the city. At this moment, his intuition suddenly told him that there seemed to be something wrong with a small restaurant on the side of the road.

Intuition comes from people's subconscious. Many times, a little detail that is easily overlooked can be captured by a glance and send a warning to the brain.

Qi Lindang even pulled out the pistol behind him, aimed at the small restaurant, and approached slowly.

This small restaurant is a two-story building with a small footprint, and the faded sign hanging on the door frame is covered with a thick layer of dust.

The side of the small restaurant facing the road has two windows. Although the glass on the windows is dirty, they are relatively intact. Behind the windows, there is a layer of dark curtains.

Qi Lin walked all the way to the door of this restaurant and looked it over carefully. At this time, he finally found out what was the source of the strangeness he felt before.

The door of the restaurant is an ordinary single-leaf wooden door, and the doorknob is a tin-plated copper ball. A lot of the plating on the copper ball has been rubbed off, revealing a lot of patina.

And on this doorknob, there is almost no accumulated dust, which is in sharp contrast to the window sill, which has a thick layer of dust and sand on one side.

Has anyone opened this door recently?

Qi Lin subconsciously thought that the other party must be a human, at least a zombie, a humanoid creature with a high IQ, and beasts and zombies would not open the door.

Qi Lin lowered his head and wanted to look for footprints on the ground. At this time, he realized that although there was not much dust on the ground near the door, there was also a thin layer. It would take at least one person to accumulate the dust. Ten days and a half months.

There are dusty floors and clean doorknobs. Although these two points seem to be contradictory, they can be explained in connection with the terrain of Nerozsk. Due to air convection, there will be wind from time to time in the direction of the valley. After blowing, it will obviously take more time for the dust to accumulate on the smooth spherical surface.

These clues provided Qi Lin with a piece of information, either that the other party had not returned for a while after leaving this small restaurant, or that the other party had been hiding in this small restaurant during this period of time, and he has not yet returned. come out.

The latter possibility is relatively small. Even if there is food in the small restaurant, the quantity will not be too much. Even if this is a player's stronghold, it is impossible for those players who settle here to go out for several days in a row to find the necessities of life. supplies.

What's more, this is a high-concentration radiation area, passing by, or staying in Nerozsk for a few hours for a short time is not a big problem, but if you want to stay here for a long time, even if you have enough anti-radiation agents, The body is absolutely overwhelmed.

Unless, the other party also has radiation immune physique.

But if one has a physique that is immune to radiation, it is even more impossible to stay in such a small house. People with this physique can search for supplies in the city without worrying about someone scrambling for them. For them, it is a paradise.

After thinking twice, Qi Lin preliminarily deduced that the guy who left this trace should have just passed by in a hurry, searched for some food and supplies here, and then left.

Pointing the muzzle of the pistol at the door, Qi Lin held the door handle and turned it gently.

The mechanical structure inside the doorknob has been rusted, and there is a harsh friction sound when it is turned, which makes Qi Lin frown. If there are still people hiding in the house now, this sound will definitely be heard by the other party .

Opening the door, Qi Lin walked in with very light steps.

There are four dusty round tables in the front hall of the restaurant, and a half-person-high wooden bar separates the front hall from the back kitchen.

The outside wind can't blow into the house, so Qi Lin finally found many messy footprints on the wooden floor.

These footprints were all wearing shoes. Judging from the size of the patterns on the soles of the shoes, there should be two people who entered the restaurant. After walking around the first floor of the restaurant a few times, they went up to the second floor, then came down from the second floor, and left the restaurant.

The footprints are very clear, and there are no traces of intentional forgery or coverage, so the possibility that the other party came back stepping on his own footprints after leaving the restaurant was ruled out.

There is no one in this restaurant.

Qi Lin breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and closed the door behind him, raised his head, and began to carefully look at the scene in the restaurant.

There is a handwritten menu posted by the door, but Qi Lin only knows a little bit of Russian. This was taught to him by a Russian mercenary when he was drinking. Qi Lin only knows what is on the menu. Can recognize the more famous three: Da Lieba, vodka and some kind of sausage.

The string of letters in front of the sausage should be a place name, because the place at the end is the same as Nerozsk, with a sk suffix, which means town in Russian.

The four round tables were empty, and there were only two empty vodka bottles on the bar counter, and the cabinets in the back kitchen were even more open. It seemed that the two people who had entered had already raided the small restaurant.

It is estimated that there will be nothing left on the second floor. Qi Lin looked around the interior of the restaurant for the last time, and then retreated from the original road.

First and foremost, food, water and, of course, weapons must be found.

Russia is different from China. Its laws do not prohibit civilians from possessing guns and ammunition, and the control is relatively loose. Especially in some remote areas, almost every household can buy one or two weapons such as shotguns.

Coming out of the restaurant, Qi Lin quickly set his target on a four-story building across the street. Judging from the AK47-shaped signboard with only a metal frame left outside the house, it should be a restaurant specializing in the sale of Weapons shop for firearms and ammunition.
