Chapter 344 Tides of Death

Qi Lin heard the news when he was purchasing daily necessities in the underground black market—when he heard that a zombie-like monster with a stiff body and high defense power attacked the alliance's position, and could use a drill to attack the alliance's position. After the worms entered his brain and transformed a large number of players into their own kind, the word that popped up in his head was: Parasite!

Hell, can't these monsters leave that underground fortification? Did someone bring them out? Is it Ivan? No, probably not, Ivan isn't that stupid—and, maybe these parasites didn't come from Nerozsk at all, but ran out from somewhere else.

Qi Lin hurried back to his residence, quickly got into the game cabin, and logged into the virtual wasteland world.

The place where Qi Lin opened his eyes was on a single bed that was only one meter wide, but the messy sheets and the pillow that fell to the floor were silently telling how fierce the "battle" took place on this bed last night ——It's just that Qi Lin has time and is not in the mood to recall the beauty of last night, so he hurriedly put on his equipment and rushed out.

At this time, although the entire No. 147 outpost was full of noisy voices, but under the management of the private army of the Cheng family consortium, the order was still stable, and a large number of players who had escaped from the frontline lined up at the entrance of the five fortresses , will only be included after being checked.

Cheng Yanqiu was standing on top of the tallest turret in the whole fortress, frowning and looking at the five winding dragons below - the position of the 147th outpost is considered to be very close to the front line, otherwise it would not have been able to receive so many in the first time Crushed players.

But that was also the case, after the thousands of parasites had eaten away at the entire front line, the 147th outpost would naturally become their next target.

"How's the situation on the front line, have those parasites advanced to that position?" Qi Lin rushed up the turret in three steps at a time, and ran to Cheng Yanqiu's side.

"Parasite? You mean those 'new zombies'? Why, did you know about their existence before?" Cheng Yanqiu was stunned, with a look of curiosity in his eyes.

"That's right." Qi Lin nodded, and roughly told Cheng Yanqiu what happened in Nerozsk before, and then said, "I think we must find a way to go to Nerozsk and find Ivan and the others. I have to figure out how these parasitic worms escaped from that underground fortification."

"I understand..." Cheng Yanqiu rubbed his brows vigorously with two fingers, "But do you know what the biggest problem is now?"

"What is it?"

"It's a riot. The parasitic worm has spread throughout the entire front line. According to the alliance's conservative estimate, there are at least 30,000 to 40,000 infected players. This is only on the side of the alliance. Yamato Heavy Industries has also been parasitic." As you said, these people have all died in reality. Although the Alliance tried its best to suppress this truth, the death toll was too large to be concealed. Now several shelters All the players in it know about this... A new wave of uprisings is breaking out one after another."

"..."

It is not difficult to understand why the uprising broke out—the existence of parasitic worms has exceeded most people’s cognition. The implementation of the “Wasteland Survival Rules” had caused considerable turmoil among the residents of the shelter. It took several months to gradually calm down, but now the appearance of parasitic worms has plunged people into a new panic.

Originally according to the rules of the game, even if the three resurrection chances are exhausted, at most they will be eliminated. The refuge will only cut off the supply of living materials for the eliminated, but as long as there is no excessive behavior, the general management of the refuge will not directly Those who kill the eliminated—even if they go to the underground workshop to do coolies, at least they will still be able to survive for a long time, and there may be other turning points, although the possibility of this is really pitifully small.

But now, parasitic worms can directly kill the brains of online players in reality, which is very terrifying-this is equivalent to directly changing the sentence of "death reprieve" to "immediate execution", and it is still without any psychological preparation. under.

Not only that, once those players who still have the number of resurrections left are killed by parasitic worms, no matter how many lives are left in the account, there is no way to wake up the brain-dead body in reality...

Many people would rather face the violent suppression by the management of the shelter and the army than enter the virtual world again, because no one knows whether they will be able to wake up again after lying in the game cabin this time...

"Except for the original private troops of various consortiums and the NPC troops recruited from the mastermind, which are currently stable, almost all of the troops recruited online have large-scale deserters... Now the land route to Nerozsk It has been completely blocked, and with our current manpower, it is still a question of whether we can hold outpost 147." Cheng Yanqiu said in a deep voice.

At this moment, a sudden violent commotion broke out among the queues waiting to enter the city below. Qi Lin and Cheng Yanqiu looked up subconsciously, and saw a "black tide" appearing on the horizon in the distance!

That is a tide of death composed of thousands of parasites!

"Damn it! Those people in front were breached without even getting any news?" Cheng Yanqiu punched hard on the crenel of the fort, and immediately called the messenger over.

"Let the people below strengthen their defenses and speed up the inspection procedures, but don't relax. If someone breaks through the barrier by force, they will be killed directly! In addition, turn the muzzles of all heavy artillery and mortars to the direction where the enemy is coming, and wait for the fire command. All out with the power armor troops, and cooperate with the engineers to build the first line of defense around the outpost!"

Cheng Yanqiu's order was passed on in an instant. Sure enough, not long after, a guy who wanted to forcibly rush into the fortress appeared among the players waiting in line for inspection. The next person stopped his steps for life.

"Everyone, don't be impulsive! We must ensure that you are not carrying parasitic worms or eggs before letting you in. Otherwise, if the outside line of defense has not been breached and parasites appear inside, all of us Everyone is going to die here!"

Kalachev said with a microphone in his hand, and a soldier behind him was holding a huge amplified speaker, and the sound transmitted almost reached the ears of every player in the post.

"I don't have that kind of bug on me! Really, let me in! I won't lie to you! Really!"

At this time, a player suddenly jumped out of the team, took off all the clothes and equipment on his body, and ran towards the entrance naked in a near-zero environment.

The machine gunner guarding the entrance and exit just pointed his gun at the player and was about to fire, but Cheng Yanqiu stopped him in time and said to the person in charge of the inspection: "Check his hair and other places on his body where parasitic worms can be hidden. , let him in if there is no problem."

Originally, the last link in the inspection process was to take off all the clothes. This link was carried out in several small tents at the entrance. It would take a lot of time for the players in line to come one by one—— But this guy directly omitted all the previous steps, and the entire inspection process took less than 30 seconds.

Seeing this naked guy being put into the fortress, there was a commotion among the players in the queue. Then, several people followed his example, took off their clothes and equipment, and ran towards the checkpoint.

Compared with real death, that bit of equipment is nothing. As for the cold temperature and the shame of being naked, no one cares...
