Chapter 408 Return to the Wasteland World

Song Xiaodie woke up the next morning when they came to shelter 188, but when Qi Lin asked about blood-sucking, the girl just had a blank expression, completely unaware that she was on the rail car What did you do.

It seems that it should be an unconscious behavior driven by the body's instinct... Qi Lin thought to himself, although Song Xiaodie could not control this state, but according to the state at that time, it should be only when she lost a lot of blood or was on the verge of death , this ability will only be activated when stimulated by fresh blood.

Although I don't know if this ability has other side effects, but at least this time, Song Xiaodie was brought back from the brink of death.

After waking up, Song Xiaodie was quite surprised at her recovery speed, but when Qi Lin told her what happened on the rail car, the girl's eyes were full of panic.

"I... am I going to become... a monster?"

Song Xiaodie subconsciously touched her own teeth, but just like Qi Lin before, she didn't find her "blood-sucking fangs".

"Probably not..." Qi Lin thought for a while, "Isaac gave you a 'first hug', which happened in the virtual game world. In reality, you have never come into contact with any real Vampire, all these changes come from the game cabin—or rather, from yourself."

"The game cabin stimulates the human brain through a special frequency band, causing the brain to secrete hormones that promote the human body's self-evolution... Whether it is my recovery ability or your ability... similar to vampires, it should be our body evolved on its own."

"Recovering injuries by sucking blood... In fact, it is not such a strange thing. After all, recovering from injuries requires sufficient nutrition and energy, and blood contains these substances. You must know that in primitive society, human ancestors could It's the ruthless who drink blood to survive."

"Thank you..." Song Xiaodie lowered her head. Although Qi Lin couldn't see the expression on her face, he could tell from the girl's tone that she was sobbing.

"I know you're comforting me... But what if I really become that kind of monster and want to bite you to death?"

"I'm terrified...afraid...of that kind of thing...if it happens..."

"...Then...then you kill me..."

As she spoke, the girl burst into tears.

"Kill you?" Qi Lin smiled suddenly, and said in a funny tone, "No, no, no, I'll let you kill me when the time comes, maybe I can become a vampire too. It is said that vampires can live for hundreds of thousands of years? Then I really made a lot of money—”

"But... but what if I'm not... not that kind of vampire... just... just a blood-sucking monster...?"

"Then I will strike quickly, and you won't feel pain." Qi Lin put away his smile and said seriously.

"...Yeah." Song Xiaodie nodded, and slowly stopped sobbing.

Some people, in order to survive, would rather become inhuman monsters, while some people would rather give up their lives, and hope to end their lives as "human beings".

Song Xiaodie is the latter.

In fact, neither is wrong. The former's desire to survive is understandable, while the latter's spirit is even more admirable.

Qi Lin suddenly thought that, in fact, the definition between "human" and "monster" has always been very vague. Whether it is him or Song Xiaodie, in fact, they are all the result of the human body's own evolution. According to the definition of human beings, they should be regarded as more advanced "evolvers", or "new human beings". Are these evolved human beings considered "monsters"?

If a modern person appeared in front of those ancient apes thousands of years ago, he should also be considered a "monster", right? Of course, the premise is that there is a definition of the word "monster" in the thinking of those ancient apes...

"No matter what, as long as I can survive, even if I become a monster... I don't hesitate."

Qi Lin secretly said in his heart, he is different from Song Xiaodie, he belongs to the former.

For Qi Lin, being alive is the most important thing. This point has been deeply engraved in his heart since he was a child.

There is a saying among the mercenaries, "On the battlefield, those who are less afraid of death are less likely to die. On the contrary, those who are afraid of death are more likely to die first."

But from Qi Lin's personal experience, only those who have a strong desire to survive can finally walk down the battlefield alive, while those who drink several cans of alcohol before the battle and don't even wear a helmet are often the last He was taken off the battlefield in a body bag.

...

...

Qi Lin finally ended this unpleasant topic with the excuse of eating—their dinner was very simple, one piece of "Guanshengyuan" compressed biscuits for each person, plus a can of soybean protein meat and a few vitamin tablets .

Due to the events that happened before the No. 188 shelter, the original stock was either consumed or destroyed during the battle. Most of the supplies currently circulating in the shelter have been purchased from several other places in the recent period. mobilized from a shelter.

After dinner, Qi Lin and Song Xiaodie lay down in the newly moved game cabin - a new week is about to begin, if they can't maintain the 70 hours of online time per week, they will The legal identity will be canceled directly by the mastermind. At that time, not only the large amount of resource points in Qi Lin's account will be wiped out, but even the place where he lives now will be taken back by the shelter officials.

Lying in the game cabin, Qi Lin slowly closed his eyes, and the familiar synthetic female voice was in his ears again.

"Welcome back to Wasteland Survival Rules."

...

...

As soon as he entered the game world, the darkness in front of him had not completely dissipated, and Qi Lin heard deafening gunfire, explosions, and the sound of various guns shooting.

"Huh? I haven't been online for a few days, I thought you were dead?" Qi Lin opened his eyes, and found the fully armed Raven standing in front of him, holding his Remington M870 shotgun in his hand Gun, and at his feet, there was an M249 light machine gun, and a dozen boxes of ammunition chains and two spare barrels were piled up next to him.

In addition to machine guns, there are many grenades, explosives and individual bazookas.

"What happened? Has the Kuroshio reached the base camp?" Qi Lin looked out the window, only to see vehicles and players passing by constantly outside, and farther away, dozens of thick smoke billowed angry.

"I arrived last night. At four o'clock in the morning, the Kuroshio broke through the outer wall of the base camp. Now one-third of the base camp has fallen. The young master of the Cheng's consortium came here, but he only left me Download these things, and tell me to wait until you go online again before retreating." Raven said, pointing to the various weapons that occupied nearly half of the room with his toes.

"Okay, now that you're online, I think we should find a way to get out of this damn place."
