Chapter 742
Qi Lin has seen those photos taken back. The body of another soldier from Thunder Falcon Squad was severely corroded, and most of his body was almost dissolved and swallowed by that strange layer of flesh, but even so, he still It maintains a roughly human shape, and the remaining part of Cheng Yanqiu's arm is not even as severely corroded as the soldier's corpse. It makes no sense that other parts except the arm will be "digested" by the flesh membrane first. .
That layer of fleshy membrane will never refuse any "nutrition", they don't have the habit of picky eaters, and they won't leave only a section of arm after "eating" the entire torso.
Cheng Yanqiu's "death" is full of doubts everywhere... Qi Lin even felt that he should still be alive in this world. At that time, he should have escaped successfully on the roof of the hospital, leaving only a severed wound. arm.
It's just that Qi Lin couldn't guess what happened after that. If Cheng Yanqiu was still alive, why didn't he return to the organization?If he died later, where did he die?
Back on the ground, there are actually only two things Qi Lin has to do. One is to find a radiation source with abundant energy to charge the energy-gathering vortex, and the other is to investigate Cheng Yanqiu's life and death.
From the time they met on the edge of the cliff outside Thunder City to fighting side by side at the Herrons defense line, Qi Lin has already regarded this guy as one of his few friends.
He used to have a few friends like this, but they either died in the war, or disappeared as if they had evaporated from the world. Now Qi Lin can contact him, and the only one who can contact him is the German military doctor Hans.
It's just that he doesn't dare to go to Hans right now... He can't protect himself now, and going to find Hans in the real world rashly will only bring more trouble to the other party, and the organization can also have one more hostage to blackmail him .
Not the same as Cheng Yanqiu, he was originally a member of the organization, and even Qi Lin was forced to join the organization, which has more or less relationship with him.
Although Cheng Yanqiu himself has never been very supportive of Qi Lin joining the organization, even in order to prevent Qi Lin from stepping on this thief boat, he has never told Qi Lin all these secrets related to the organization and the mastermind... But at that time In the virtual training ground, the guy pretending to be Cheng Yanqiu told Qi Lin all these things. Since then, Qi Lin has been unable to be alone.
……
……
This secret mission from the "Shadow Troop" coincides with one of Qi Lin's goals, but Qi Lin is not happy at all. He always has a feeling that he seems to be being used by others. feeling.
It seems that there is a pair of invisible eyes watching me in the dark all the time, and every move I make is under the control of the other party...
The sixth district, the executive officer, the experimental body No. [-], the crystallization of pure energy... There have been many unreasonable things that have happened during this period of time. This made Qi Lin realize that it seems that within the organization, there is absolutely no It is not monolithic.
At least that strange executive is definitely not completely loyal to the parliament.
……
……
Half an hour later, the organization headquarters, Molten Abyss.
Qi Lin was wearing a loose training uniform, carrying an empty backpack and walking on a suspended street. Around him, there were people in hoods and black robes hurrying on their way. , only Qi Lin, who stopped to look at him from time to time, looked like a different kind... However, the soldiers standing on both sides of the street seemed to have gotten the news, and they didn't interfere with any of Qi Lin's actions, and didn't even look at him more .
In this half an hour, Qi Lin almost visited most of the organization headquarters - this is a large shelter built purely by mechanical power, all kinds of exquisite mechanical designs make Qi Lin feel as if he is in a In the magical world with a steampunk background, and among these facilities, what surprised him the most was the "Molten Abyss" under his feet.
This is the mountainside of an active volcano in the old days. This space is the artificially developed lava channel inside the volcano. In the past, every time the volcano erupted, it would be filled with hot magma, and then overflow from the crater. But now, after being transformed by humans, this place has become a fairly safe refuge.
The air above the abyss is quite hot and dry. This is because there is a huge magma lake below. This magma lake has not been filled, but has become the most important energy supply facility in the organization's headquarters——the energy from the ground. The scorching energy has been converted into energy that can be used by humans through a sophisticated conversion system, and is transmitted to every corner of the organization's headquarters along the thick copper pipes.
In the organization headquarters, at least 80.00% of the energy supply comes from the Molten Abyss.
This is an astonishing project, and Qi Lin can feel the heat wave coming from a distance of several hundred meters, and bright yellow magma continuously gushes out from deeper underground, tumbling in the magma lake.
A metal bucket with a diameter of ten meters away dug up a large lump of burning magma from the lake, and then poured it into the bottom of a boiler... Whether it is related to nuclear energy or geothermal energy, human beings have nothing to do with it. The application method still stays above the level of "boiling water". Although the subject of energy conversion has made breakthroughs in recent years, it has not been put into practical application on a large scale.
After standing on the guardrail at the edge of the hanging street for a few minutes, Qi Lin turned his eyes away from the magnificent scene, sighed slightly, and walked forward.
The parliament has never been so kind. If it weren't for the mission from the "Shadow Troop", Qi Lin would definitely not have gotten this two-week "holiday".
The so-called holidays are just a cover for carrying out secret missions.
There is no passage leading to the ground in the headquarters of the organization. The passage closest to here is in shelter No. 899. The passage of this shelter was supposed to be closed after the nuclear explosion, but refuge No. 899 There was a malfunction in the intelligent brain terminal of the shelter, which resulted in the failure to lock the entrance and exit, and those people who entered the No. 899 shelter for refuge also died on a large scale due to exposure to radiation, and only a few Some of them used the tunnel to escape to a nearby shelter.
Later, when the organization took control of Vault 899, it cleared the Vault and transformed it into an outpost leading to the surface.
