Ark, a chat group for gamers

Meat Pigeon Suffering Salted Fish: Indeed, Brother Lin didn't hit any natural disasters on the road, so I suddenly felt that this trip was a bit boring.

Soul Guy Zixu: It's just not epic enough, and it doesn't have a touch of soul.

Cube Liver Emperor Lin: Rather, why should the process of opening a new map be so soulful... Can't you guys just expect me to order it well?

Guzzle the slump fluid: That's not okay, because the brothers haven't been good lately.

Cube Liver Dilin: What, you dug up a collapse technology relic in Rim Billiton?

Norman: So some people have no clue about the tasks they take on.

Wu Qing, the dog-headed barista: To put it simply, our correction value has dropped.

Red Police Lao Hou: @韦菲天凯智, except for this guy who lost contact because he may have died on a woman’s belly, the correction value of all of us is decreasing at a rate of 0.1 every three hours.

Red Alert Laohou: And we do not rule out the possibility that the speed and magnitude of the reduction will increase as time goes by.

Meat Pigeon Suffers Salted Fish: So to put it bluntly - you have set up a server-wide mission, and without any special effects on the way, it really makes you feel inadequate.

Lobotomy Director Blisk: I hope you can speed through this full-server mission, otherwise I'm afraid my correction value won't last long.

Cube Liver Emperor Lin: ...If others don’t tell me, did you explode something else?

Lobotomy Director Blisk: No bombs, at least not right now.

Lobotomy Director Blisk: But I may, should, maybe, have a little probability, maybe, maybe, probably... contain the plague doctor.

Lobotomy Director Blisk: So hurry up, I'm not sure I can lock him up for a few days, if I collapse at that time, plus the correction value you lost now, Brother Lin, the big guy may really have to move towards Went with -150.

Cube Liver Emperor Lin: Fuck.

Cube Liver Dilin: Can't your company operate safely for a few weeks? !

Lobe Director Blisk: No, because containment breach is the fate of all Directors.

Cube Liver Emperor Lin: Isn’t that still a vegetable? !

Chapter 48 Meow

Compared with the small satellite city of Atyrau, even though Caraton was a marginal city in the eyes of the Victorians, it seemed extremely huge.

Dozens of old and new cities are connected together. They experienced the war against Kazdaele 200 years ago, and also faced the last edge of Gaul in the Battle of the Four Emperors 50 years ago.

But in the end, the city still didn't keep up with Victoria's footsteps. It was gradually falling behind, and then was grabbed by the heels of the various shadows and dragged into the abyss.

Lin Luo sat in the off-road vehicle, looking at the deep passage ahead, tapping the steering wheel with his fingers.

Although the customs clearance road in Karaton looks magnificent enough, the traces left by those years are also dazzling.

There are spots of rust on the steel vault, and the rusted brown-yellow liquid flows on the wall, leaving ugly water stains like claw marks.

Half of the light groups that could have illuminated the entire pass have been unable to light up, making this passage look particularly bleak, and even passing vehicles need to turn on their headlights for illumination.

The past heyday has preserved a glorious legacy for this city, but the people living here are abandoning it little by little, leaving only dilapidated ruins with some lamentations.

The automated observation post collected the information about the vehicle driven by Lin Luo. After comparing the data, the system automatically handed over the corresponding processing authority to the manual.

The lateral fence slowly rose, giving Lin Luo a green light alone. This was the lane for official vehicles, and there was no need to go through the subsequent cumbersome procedures to obtain entry permission.

Lin Luo is also happy and relaxed. The inheritance left by Loranta for him is indeed in place, which saves Lin Luo a lot of trouble.

After checking the documents at the manual post, Lin Luo was let go directly and drove directly onto the overpass leading to the inner city of the city.

However, when entering the bridge, you can see a car with a police plate parked on the side of the road, and an old man dressed in a military uniform is standing beside the car.

When the old man saw Lin Luo's vehicle, he immediately raised his hand to greet him. It was obvious that this was the contact person Simon had mentioned earlier.

"Thank you for coming. In this long dark rainy season, we finally got some good news."

The veteran who also belonged to the Model Army took off his hat and shook hands with Lin Luo: "My name is Gebri Wilson, a former member of the Fifth Commando Fortress of the Model Army, and is now the captain of the Patrol Mounted Police Corps in Caraton, Victoria. "

Mounted policeman... Lin Luo immediately wanted to ask you where the horse was, but he still suppressed his impolite thought: "Hello, maybe you already know my name. My name is Lin Luo. In order to track down that Come with charred black skeletons.”

"Of course, of course, but I hope Mr. Lin will not publicize this matter for the time being."

Gebri nodded and smoothed the tie inside his hat with his hands: "Please forgive me, I am the only one in this city who knows about what Simon conveyed.

"This is not a good time. Due to some things, the atmosphere in the city is very tense. It is like a cotton thread that is stretched to the extreme. If you apply a little more force, it may crack."

Lin Luo noticed the fatigue on the mounted policeman's face. He may be the same age as Simon, but he looks much older than Simon.

"You seem to have not rested for a long time." Lin Luo said, "It seems that Caraton's situation is not as optimistic as I thought."

"...Eh, it's hard to say."

Gebri scratched his head, handed a walkie-talkie to Lin Luo, and then asked him to leave this place first.

There are indeed a lot of things that happened in Caraton, and they can't finish talking on the main road for a while, so it's better to chat for a while on the road.

The mounted police car was driving ahead to lead the way. The streets of Caraton can be said to be messy, or the streets of Mobile City are very messy, because they are all patchworked together from different urban areas. If there is no local, outsiders It is easy to get lost here.

Lin Luo drove behind the other party, listening to the voice coming from the walkie-talkie.

“A small natural disaster hit the city some time ago, destroying part of the city’s communication system and breaking a major high-pressure Originium steam pipeline.

"The five affected urban areas have all lost contact, and a total of [-] urban areas including them have had their energy supply affected. We are working hard to clean up the high-risk infection sources left by the natural disaster, but the progress is not fast."

Gebril's voice was a bit distressed, and it could be seen that natural disasters were not the only ones that plagued the city: "However, it is precisely because natural disasters have destroyed the surface and opened up the subway network in some urban areas that we were able to discover some something hidden.

"Corpse, a large number of corpses are piled up in the pipes underground in the city. The number is so large that it makes your head numb."

Lin Luo recalled some of the information that the group of friends said before. The underground pipelines of Karaton are indeed complicated and most of them are abandoned. This situation seems to be normal:

"Before this, there were no warning signs for the disappearance of a large number of people?"

"..." Gebri was silent for a moment, with a bitter tone: "What is the omen, most of the corpses are infected.

"In the city, no one will notice unless the infected person disappears, sir."

The sound of the lighter opening reached Lin Luo's ears through the radio. Even at an advanced age, Gebri was already using this method to relieve stress: "But it is true that too many people died underground.

"After receiving the news, the anti-infected organization that was active in the city immediately organized a protest. They stormed various key facilities in the city and fought with the city police.

"Not only them, because there were many normal people among the dead bodies, the same protests also broke out among ordinary people."

The sound of inhaling and exhaling continued, and within a short while Lin Luo heard the sound of a cigarette being extinguished in the ashtray: "There are also nobles... I don't know why they want to wade into this muddy water , but the nobles also had a loud voice in these riots.

"But these are only dangers within the city. Sir, as Simon and Friend said, the real dangers come from the outskirts of the city, and they cast their own shadows on the city.

"We have blocked some information - deep within those corpses, there are a large number of pig-man remains. I hope I didn't call their names wrong.

"Besides, we also saw traces of the charred black skeletons in the photo that Simon sent over in the pile of corpses... There are also a lot of them."

Lin Luo raised his brows, he didn't expect this phenomenon to happen.

The refresh rate of Wither Skeleton is not high in the game. The most important thing is that it only refreshes in the nether fortress area.

This is different from the zombie pigmen running around. Wither skeletons are regional.

That is to say, even if the city also has a nether portal, there shouldn't be a large number of wither skeletons appearing in the city.

Furthermore, if there were such a large number of withered skeletons, Karaton would have already become a purgatory on earth.

Then the question lies in another point - who has mastered a certain method that can transform normal people into withered skeletons.

Or wither skeletons, like zombie pigmen, are also contagious after they come to the real world.

But no matter which possibility it is, it is not a good thing for Lin Luo.

"Mr. Wilson, is it convenient for you to take us directly to an incident scene now?" Lin Luo and Laurentina looked at each other, and then opened the dialogue button: "I want to go now and see if I can find any clues. "

"Oh...Okay, okay. Of course, you are experts in this field. There are many things we hope you can find out the answers to."

Without much hesitation, Gebri turned the steering wheel at the next intersection and took another road.

"In fact, even veterans like us felt panicked when we saw the scene that looked like a mass grave. Many people even had hallucinations on the spot."

"Hallucinations?" Lin Luo didn't let go of any word in Gebri's chat.

"To be more precise, it's an auditory hallucination." Gebri also understood that the details should not be missed, so he said to Lin Luo in detail: "Many people reported on the radio that they heard the voice of the father of the film when they were examining the corpse. sound."

Hearing this strange name, Lin Luo didn't turn around for a while.

Cube Gan Di Lin: @狂饮减液, hurry up, save the illiterate brother, what is a film beast?

Drinking Collapse Fluid: It’s not a novelty, the beast-parent is a term that Ark has to come up with for something special. It refers to those beast-like creatures that are of the same race as the porridge people.

Drinking Collapse Liquid: Just like Felin, the beast kisser, in human terms, he is a cat.

----------

Chapter 49 You are spawning monsters in bed!

Under the leadership of Gebri, Lin Luo shuttled between the city streets of Calaton, walking on roads that only those who knew the city well knew, and quickly approached the scene of the incident.

Lin Luo didn't know much about the layout of the mobile city, but relying on Gebri's introduction and the road sign information he captured, it's not hard to see that this is a civilian living area close to the quarantine area.

The so-called quarantine area is the place where the infected people live, but in Karaton, these quarantine areas are often abandoned cities, and living here is no different from survival in the wilderness.

The impact of this natural disaster can be considered medium, affecting more than a dozen urban areas, but until now, people have not been able to figure out the type of natural disaster this time.

Is it a meteorite?Or a storm?They have no way of knowing.

Because there are a large amount of origin stone dust covering these urban areas, the catastrophic consequences of the explosion of the origin stone steam flow have intensified the destructive power of natural disasters. It can be seen that above the ruins, there is still a terrifying vortex swaggering wantonly.

In this case, it is unnecessary to worry about what natural disaster caused it.

"One more street and we're going to the polluted area." Gebril's voice was a little muffled, and it sounded like he was wearing some kind of mask: "Do you have any protective masks? If not, how many more are there on my side?" a spare."

"Then it will be troublesome." Lin Luo didn't want to expose his and Laurentina's physique, and shocking the world was not what he was after.

The car in front slowed down until it stopped, and when Lin Luo drove aside, two masks were handed over through the car window.

"A level 2 half-face mask, using a canister to filter the source stone dust, with an effective working time of five hours."

Gebriel pulled the elastic band on his mask: "It's not a good thing, but the bureau's budget can only get this kind of equipment—fortunately, we don't need to go deeper, this level of protective masks is just enough .”

"It sounds like you mounted police are not in a very good situation." Lin Luo looked at the obviously old stock mask in his hand and asked casually.

"It's not that the Mounted Police are not well-off." Gebri also stated his predicament very simply: "The entire police system has not been well-off over the years.

"The city council has successively lowered the budget of all the police, and even recently submitted a proposal for outsourcing security. If Earl Adams hadn't been behind us to support us, perhaps the police system of Karaton would have been taken over by Blacksteel International."

It sounds like some kind of interest entanglement and struggle, but it is also in line with the evaluation of Victoria's internal affairs by the group of friends.

Besides, according to the plot given by the group of friends, after three years, Londinium will be crushed by the regent with a foreign surname, and the great nobles in Victoria still have their own plans. It can all be considered stable.

Lin Luo also tightened his mask. He leaned slightly in the car to look at the sky. Now he had driven into the range of the vortex storm.

Laurentina, who had been staring out the window, suddenly turned her head, and murmured after a while: "The sound... so strange."

"Did you hear anything?" Lin Luo listened for a while, and asked Laurentina after not noticing any strange movements.

Laurentina stretched out her hand and touched the back of her neck. Although the original surgical wound there had disappeared under the recovery ability of the deep sea hunter, her fingertips could still feel something different from flesh and blood.

After entering this area, Laurentina could feel the extracts in her back becoming active, making her senses particularly sensitive.

"Many people's wailing." Laurentina closed her eyes so that no one could see her trembling pupils: "Their voices are all around, and it sounds like they are floating into the sky."

After the nun finished speaking, she lowered her head and prayed, but this time she no longer held the pendant that had always been hanging on her body, but took off the ring on her finger and held it tightly in her hand.

Oddly enough, praying to the ring calmed her down more.

Lin Luo remained silent, but kept looking towards the sky from the corner of his eye while driving.

A large number of corpses, withered skeletons, zombie pigmen, screaming cats... These clues floated in Lin Luo's mind, and they vaguely connected together, trying to reveal the curtain to Lin Luo.

The town of Hamlet that was destroyed, Atyrau, where the whole city was almost killed, and Caraton, which is now in a mess.

Someone is trying to bring a lot of death to this land, but Lin Luo doesn't think that the other party simply likes to deprive others of their lives.

If all of this was done by that witch, then it is obvious that she can see what the other party is pursuing.

"We're here!" Gebri's voice interrupted Lin Luo's thinking.

Lin Luo looked forward and could see the huge scar left on the ground.

The entire street and the buildings on both sides were lifted by the shock wave, the asphalt pavement completely disappeared, and the foundation of the mobile city made of multi-layer alloy was also melted and broken, exposing the deep and dark underground passage below.

This scene, which looked like a giant beast opening its mouth towards him, made Lin Luo feel a little disgusted.

After repeated confirmation, Lin Luo can be sure that he does not have the XP hobby of Wan Tun.
