Code of Wasteland Survival

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us Debts, just as we forgive our debtors, do not let us meet temptation, and deliver us from evil, because the kingdom, the power, and the glory are all yours forever, Amen.

Kalachev sat kneeling behind the wall of a sentry tower, facing the rising sun, holding a small hardcover Bible in his hand, and silently finished reading this prayer with his eyes closed.

Hey, Karachev, do you still believe in religion? At this time, Qi Lin also came to the top floor of the sentry tower, just in time to see Karachev read Amen and opened his eyes.

Aren't you asking knowingly? I was a devout Orthodox Christian decades ago. Kalachev said.

Hmm...then do you believe in the existence of God? Or, do you think the so-called 'Lord' will really redeem their believers? Qi Lin pointed to the Bible in Karachev's arms.

Redemption... Karachev was silent for a while, and then looked at the desolate wasteland in the distance.

I never thought that salvation would come to us. Kalachev said, shaking his head.

Then you still say that you are a devout believer?

These are two different things. Whether the 'Lord' really exists or not, it doesn't affect my private beliefs outside of work... If you believe in him, he exists, if you don't believe in him, he doesn't exist...

Okay, I understand... psychological comfort, right. Qi Lin glanced at Karachev, then at the radiation cloud that blocked the entire rising sun behind - if that damn God It really exists, with his arrogant personality, it is absolutely impossible for people to make the earth like this.

If God wants to clean up the world by flooding the earth, that's fine; but if humans want to destroy the world with nuclear weapons, that's not okay—because all of this is God's creation.

This is really unreasonable.

Speaking of business, you are going to duel with Arthur, the young master already knows about it. Kalachev put the Bible in his arms and stood up from the ground.

Oh, what did Cheng Yanqiu say?

Master, he said, if you can slow down a little, maybe he still has a chance to see how funny that Li Arthur's expression was when he lost the duel.

Oh, so he's already on his way?

Yes. Moreover, according to the intelligence network of the Cheng's Consortium, after Arthur Lie launched a duel against you yesterday, he asked someone to rush back to the base of the Dessau Consortium overnight, and took a [Steel Mixture] in stock.

'Steel Mixture'? What is that, the name seems to be an item in a game... Ah, sorry, I almost forgot, we are in a game now...

A rare potion of purple quality that requires more than a dozen rare mutated biological materials to synthesize. The effect after taking it is simply invincible. Kalachev said.

Invincible? Isn't this a bit ridiculous? Qi Lin twitched his lips. This is a simulation game. You can't put on a holy shield like the magic online games of the old era and start grinding hearthstones so stupidly, right?

Of course, invincibility is just an exaggeration. However, after taking this potion, which can only be used by evolutionaries above the second level, it will instantly make the user's muscles and skin as hard as an alloy, and the defense will be greatly improved. The increase is two to three times, and it will not affect body movements and other physiological functions. The duration depends on the quality and purity of the medicine and the dosage. However, according to a conservative estimate, the medicine that Arthur took can at least last him for two A strengthened state for more than ten seconds, Karachev said.

Is there any weakness? For example, eyes and the like, will they also become invulnerable? Qi Lin asked.

Eye is indeed a weakness, but in your duel items, there is no limit to the use of armor. As long as it is not powered by its own armor, all armor can be brought on the battlefield - even a power armor that has been powered off, Arthur. I will definitely find a way to protect his eyes.

It doesn't matter, as long as you know that this thing has a weakness, it will be easy to handle—

...

...

Twenty minutes before twelve o'clock, Qi Lin had arrived at the square of the central fortress of the 147th outpost. Here, there was a circular arena made of reinforced concrete with a diameter of more than 100 meters and a height of two meters. It has already appeared in the middle of the square, and the surroundings are already crowded with players watching the excitement.

Arthur had already been waiting on the ring. He was wearing a soft armor tanned with mutated bio-leather. The whole body of the soft armor was pitch black, and there were high-strength carbon fiber protectors on the shoulder pads, knees, and elbows.

In addition, although Li Arthur did not wear a helmet, he wore a pair of well-made goggles as Karachev expected. Judging from the lavender gem luster on the lenses, it should be made of a kind of It is made of top-quality corundum, and a special metal coating is added to it.

These are the L2 goggles produced by the Dessau Consortium's 'Venus Company'. The lens can withstand the frontal impact of the bullet fired by the AK47 within 200 meters without damage. There are also multiple layers of cushioning on the part of the frame that is in contact with the wearer. The structure is one of the best goggles in the league at present, the stock is very limited, and the price has reached 110,000 resource points per pair. Karachev followed Qi Lin and said in a low voice.

One hundred and ten thousand? The price of this pair of glasses is worth a top sniper rifle from the old era. This guy is really willing to spend money. Qi Lin pouted.

Compared with [Steel Mixture], these L2 goggles are nothing. It is said that for this Steel Mixture, Arthur Lee overdrafted his six-month internship salary and the dividends of the shares under his name. Because of this, even His father, Li Yinian, was also alarmed.

Then he really hates me enough.

If you need potions, our Cheng's consortium can provide you with some now, but due to time constraints, you can't get things like [Steel Mixture], but I have the less effective power potions and runaway potions on me right now. Yes, there are several treatment needles.

It's not necessary. If you still take drugs to deal with Li Arthur, your young master will have to laugh at me for a month...Okay, the time is up, I'll go up.

Qi Lin patted Karachev on the shoulder, squeezed out from the crowd, and jumped onto the ring with a light leap.

I thought you didn't dare to come? Seeing Qi Lin arrived, Li Arthur said contemptuously on the opposite side.

You think too much, how can I have the heart to refuse someone who is willing to send money to my door. Qi Lin continued-for a duel of this nature, there must be unnutritive trash talk before opening.

I hope you can still beg me for mercy in such a relaxed tone later— Arthur snorted coldly, and drew his weapon.

This is a long sword in the shape of a medieval knight's epee, but from the blade emitting red light and the slightly distorted air around the blade, Qi Lin recognized at a glance that the real name of this knight sword should be High frequency cutting edge.

Like the Gauss sniper rifle, the high-frequency cutting blade was also a weapon in the experimental stage in the old days. The most obvious feature of this weapon is the blade that is constantly vibrating at an ultra-high frequency of several thousand hertz.

The high-frequency cutting blade heats the blade through high-frequency vibration particles. When it touches an object, it can automatically peel off the object through resonance at the molecular level. From the perspective of the naked eye, it is almost equivalent to cutting iron like mud.

In contrast, Qi Lin's equipment seems to be much poorer. There are only two cold steel tiger claw knives, and he only wears a simple combat uniform. As for the dragon scale light armor, it is because The damage was serious, and the Karachevto people sent it back to Huaxia to repair it a few days ago.

However, in front of the high-frequency cutting blade, the defensive effect of the Dragonscale Light Armor is not satisfactory-the best way to deal with this kind of blade that cuts objects from the molecular level through vibration is to dodge.
