Code of Wasteland Survival

The gunshot sound of the Gauss pistol is inherently small. After installing a silencer specially designed for Gauss weapons, the sound is almost negligible. Moreover, because the muzzle velocity of the warhead is limited, it will not occur when shooting. A streamer-like tail flame produced due to violent friction with the air.

Although it is much less powerful than rifle-type and sniper-type Gauss weapons, it is definitely a first-rate weapon for assassination.

After entering the cloning factory, Qi Lin thoroughly implemented the doctrine of Kill everyone who sees me, then this infiltration will be a perfect infiltration, using his ghostly movement skills and nearly silent Gauss pistol to massacre all the way. , after killing the thirty-second staff member, he finally came to a 100-meter-square pool.

Qi Lin just glanced into the pool and felt his scalp numb - they were all human beings... clones, and each one's appearance and body shape were exactly the same as Ling Kui's.

There are almost four to five hundred clones in this pool alone. Their eyes are closed tightly, their bodies are curled up, suspended in the light yellow physiological maintenance fluid, and only rely on an artificial umbilical cord to connect to the bottom of the pool. The clones All the substances needed for survival are transported into their bodies through this umbilical cord.

The clones in this pool are almost all mature, while in another pool not far away, there are still a group of clones in the state of infants. These clones are connected to more tubes, and a large number of them are connected to them. Nutrients and catalytic hormones are continuously injected into the clones through pressurized pumps. These clones that appear to be seven or eight years old are actually just born into this world less than six hours ago...

Looking at the scene in front of him, Qi Lin once again remembered a classic scene in Resident Evil - after Alice entered the Umbrella Company's experimental base, she saw hundreds of copies of herself inside, which were exactly the same as herself. The clones were in the same posture, huddled in liquid bubbles, waiting for the moment to be awakened.

In the movie, these clones not only saved Alice's life, but also later helped her destroy another Umbrella Company base in Tokyo... Thinking of this, Qi Lin suddenly had an idea - if these thousands of If hundreds of Ling Kui could be awakened, wouldn't that be an extremely terrifying fighting force?

However, he soon gave up this somewhat whimsical idea... These clones are different from Alice's replicas. They are just flesh and blood puppets that are piled up with protein in a short period of time. Whether it is Conrad or Alice, John, their experiments have proven that these clones cannot wake up from this state at all. Even their self-consciousness has always been in a state of chaos, and even if they have been in a comatose state, , the lifespan of these clones is only a few days... In other words, the only value these clones have after they are created is sent to the experimental table.

Taking one last glance at the clones in the two pools, Qi Lin continued to run towards the depths of the cloning project. These clones were not the targets of his business, and there was no point in wasting time on them.

If John hadn't lied to him, Ling Kui's body should still be in the cloning factory now. This was Qi Lin's last chance.

If the mastermind and Xia do not obtain satisfactory results on the clones, there is no doubt that they will directly use Ayakui's body to conduct experiments - for them, the value of Ayakui is far less than the key that symbolizes Qin, this girl who also has powerful mental powers can only be regarded as their extra gain in the process of recovering Qin. They will definitely not cherish Lingkui as much as they cherish Qin.

Along the way, Qi Lin saw several more nurturing pools like the one before. The total number of clones in these pools was probably close to 5,000... This did not include those sealed in cold storage. Inside, there is an embryonic body that has not yet been injected with genetic sequences.

But what makes Qi Lin a little confused is why the mastermind didn't just clone Qin for experiments, but instead cloned Lingkui, whose abilities were quite different from Qin's?

After all, Lingkui has not experienced the experience of seizing the body like Qin, and in Qi Lin's impression, Lingkui's self-awareness cannot exist without the body... even for a short second. .

Using Lingkui to conduct experiments, even if it is the original body, the experimental data obtained will definitely be very different from directly using Qin to conduct experiments... In this case, why doesn't the mastermind clone Qin?

Could it be...that Qin couldn't be cloned?

This idea is a bit far-fetched, but it is the only possibility that Qi Lin can deduce.

After killing four workers who were carrying materials again, Qi Lin quietly touched the door of a small room that seemed to be very important. The reason why he felt important was because in this room At the door of the small room stood two guards holding assault rifles.

Qi Lin didn't see a single guard in the entire cloning factory. Even the staff wearing one-piece protective suits didn't have a small pistol for self-defense, but there were guards in this place. It's very illustrative.

There must be something worth guarding in this small room...

The vigilance of these two guards was very high. Although the small room where Qi Lin shot the four staff members was more than a hundred meters away, and there were a lot of equipment blocking the line of sight in between, they could now hear a slight After the thud sound of falling to the ground, one of the two guards picked up his gun and walked towards this direction.

Qi Lin had already put on the one-piece protective clothing of the staff at this time. When he saw the guard approaching, he immediately walked out of the corner on his own initiative.

What's going on? I seemed to have heard the sound of something falling to the ground just now? Qi Lin's clothes made the guard subconsciously relax his vigilance, but the muzzle of the gun in his hand was still aimed at Qi Lin's vital parts. .

Judging from the energy fluctuations emanating from the two guards, Qi Lin estimated that both of them have the strength of fourth-level evolvers, and they can be regarded as the best among fourth-level evolvers. They can directly carry out a frontal attack. Maybe he was sure to kill these two people in a short time, but he couldn't stop them from touching the alarm button that was close at hand.

Someone accidentally sprained his foot while moving things. Qi Lin said in a muffled voice.

Sprained your foot? There was a suspicious look on the guard's face. At this moment, a thought beacon exploded in his head, causing him to stumble -

What's wrong with you? Another guard who had been watching from a distance suddenly raised his gun nervously and asked loudly.

I'm fine...just...suddenly feeling dizzy. Maybe it's because I've been on duty for too long and I can't hold on... replied the guard who was blasted by Qi Lin with his mind beacon.

This thought beacon was deliberately weakened by Qi Lin. It will not cause too strong dizziness to people. It feels like the discomfort symptoms that often occur when you are overtired...

Can't you hold on? It's only been forty-eight hours? How is that possible? Another guard obviously didn't believe it.

At this moment, Qi Lin put his hand on the first guard's shoulder with a helping hand, and the anesthesia dart needle held between his fingertips had already pierced the guard's skin. Anesthetic toxin was injected into his body.

Worried that the fourth-level evolver's own toxin resistance was too high, Qi Lin even used six dart needles at once. For ordinary people, this can be regarded as a fatal dose. Even if he was lucky enough to survive, the human body's Nervous tissue can also be irreparably damaged.

The poison took effect immediately, and the guard fell directly into Qi Lin's arms, and even the gun in his hand fell to the ground.

He... he seems to have passed out! Dragging the paralyzed guard, he shouted to another person.

Damn it! What the hell is going on? Could this guy be on drugs? Seeing this, the guard had to walk over, but just as he was walking away from Qi Lin, When there were still ten meters away, a black muzzle suddenly emerged from the unconscious guard's ribs——

With the reaction speed of a fourth-level evolver, the moment he sees the muzzle of the gun, he will subconsciously make a dodge action... However, the prerequisite for successful dodge is that he must have enough dodge time, and at a distance of ten meters, no matter how No matter how fast his movements were, they were no longer faster than the electromagnetic bullets of the Gauss pistol.

Moreover, the most critical point is that he has left the alarm button next to the door. Even if he has realized that something is wrong, he has no chance to trigger the alarm.

A dark red blood flower exploded in the guard's chest. The physical strength of the fourth-level evolver was indeed much stronger than that of ordinary people. This shot only opened a blood hole the size of a fist in the opponent's chest. , did not even penetrate his body.

Of course, this has nothing to do with the high-strength body armor they wear.

When Qi Lin fired, the thought beacon had already detonated in the guard's brain. He was killed by Qi Lin before he could even pull the trigger... As for the anesthetized guy, then Not to mention.

After successfully luring two level four guards away from the alarm and killing them, Qi Lin was finally able to stand in front of the door of the small room.

The door was locked, but it used an extremely crude mechanical lock. Qi Lin directly used a knife obtained from the guard to pierce the door panel made of polymer material, cut off the lock tongue with brute force, and then pushed it open door.

The small room was filled with all kinds of instruments. A body that was very familiar to Qi Lin was curled up in a life-support capsule that was as tall as half a person. A beautiful woman who looked to be in her early thirties was holding a tablet. , looked at Qi Lin with surprise.

Before she could scream, Qi Lin had already grabbed her by the throat and ripped off the ID hanging on her chest.

Dr. Ella, the person in charge of the cloning factory and the leader of the No. 4 project team.

The prefix Dr can be said to be a very high position in this research institute. Unlike the Doctor in the old days, the people who can be given this title here are all leaders in various fields. , What Qi Lin didn't expect was that this woman in her thirties could actually reach this level.

But just when Qi Lin was about to interrogate the woman named Dr. Ella, the woman suddenly tilted her head, foamed at the mouth and died...

died?!

Qi Lin quickly opened her mouth with his fingers. Sure enough, deep in the other party's mouth, Qi Lin's fingers touched a broken tooth. After he pulled out his fingers, he could still smell it on his fingertips. A strong bitter almond flavor.

He actually poured poison into his dentures... Is this guy a spy or a researcher...

With no other choice, Qi Lin could only throw the body of Dr. Ella aside and focus on the life-support capsule in the center of the room.

Although she looked exactly like thousands of clones outside, Qi Lin's intuition told her that the girl lying in the life-support cabin was Ayakui herself.

Qi Lin walked around to the operating table. This life-support equipment was of the same type as the one used by Qin, Song Xiaodie and Persephone before. The operation method of this type of life-support cabin had been known since Zero The mastermind had already taught Qi Lin when he was at the base, so for Qi Lin, this operating interface was no stranger.

As for the large number of equipment that Qi Lin didn't recognize, they were basically used to monitor Lingkui's body data and observe and record changes in genetic sequences. These things would not cause any harm to Lingkui - except for those few plugs. Enter beyond the long steel needle inside Ayakui's spine.

They seemed to have used a mental induction device to put Lingkui into a long state of sleep. Qi Lin quickly found the induction device hidden at the bottom of the life-saving cabin and reached out to unplug its power supply——

At this moment, something cold touched his waist.

That's a pistol.

Aren't you dead? Qi Lin slowly stood up from the ground. Without looking back, he knew that the person holding the gun against him was Dr. Ella who had just committed suicide by taking poison.

Haha... That's just a camouflage trick. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't be able to deceive you... I advise you not to move around. My pistol is a Desert Eagle with a caliber of 0.5 inches. Even if You are a high-level evolver, and it can break your spine with one shot. You'd better not move at all. I'm very easily nervous, and when I'm nervous, I can easily go off~ Ai stood behind Qi Lin La said with a half-smile.

If I had known earlier, I should have shot you in the head... Qi Lin said while secretly attaching a thought beacon to the other party's body...
