A Million Possible

"Did the mission finally continue?"

Cheng Lin put down the water glass, took a look at the outside environment, and changed into normal clothes.

Then he opened the door and walked out.

"Woo..."

The moment Cheng Lin stepped into this wasteland after the nuclear war, Cheng Lin couldn't help frowning.

The wind is blowing outside.

The wind engulfed the warm air current and blew his cheeks.

Look around.

This is indeed a wasteland, and the wind is blowing from nowhere, bringing a lot of sand.

So the ground was also covered with sand.

The air was very dry, and when I looked up, the entire sky was dull, and there was no clear blue sky at all.

The view here is very good. Looking at it, you can see the existence of hills in the distance.

There are also some very strange trees and plants, not many, growing in clusters.

Farther away, there seems to be a city.

It's just that the wind and sand are very big and the vision is blurred, so he can't see clearly for the time being.

"Here... is the Western Hemisphere?"

Cheng Lin couldn't help but frown and asked.

According to the previous information, there is no sunshine in the Eastern Hemisphere and the temperature is cold, which should not be the case.

[You stand in this desolate world and don’t know where this place is. You thought for a while before you remembered that this place is at the intersection of day and night, west of the "lifeline"]

[According to the regional division of the old era 30 years ago, this place is located in the territory of Sudan, but according to the division of this era, this area belongs to the land boundary ruled by the "Sand King" who is the strongest of the land emperor, and administratively it is the power of the nine ranks" The subordinate scope of the main city of "Sahara" under the control of "The Butcher"]

Hearing these messy names, Cheng Lin had a headache.

Fortunately, he heard a familiar word.

"Sahara? The Sahara Desert?"

Cheng Lin tried to remember the knowledge of geography in his mind.

Well, a magazine that introduced Sanmao I read a long time ago seemed to mention the Sahara Desert.

It is said that it is connected to the Mediterranean Sea in the north and the Red Sea in the east. It should be west of Sudan.

[Global Lock has brought years of wind, the wind blows across the Sahara, so the wind is stained khaki]

"No wonder it's such a landform here."

Cheng Lin nodded, and finally had a more correct understanding of where he was.

But speaking of it, the area next to the desert is not fertile soil. It seems that even if humans migrate here, the life conditions are still bad.

No wonder practitioners can be in power. The worse the natural environment, the greater their individual advantage.

Cheng Lin stopped thinking, and started to follow the signs on the ground.

The mission in the fifth paragraph is to find the body of the investigation team, but it is not clear what this means.

Cheng Lin walked forward in silence for about five minutes. When he climbed over a mound, he finally saw the end of the road sign.

"what?"

Standing on the mound, Cheng Lin saw two brown painted jeeps not far away, parked there.

And beside the jeep, there seemed to be a few dead bodies lying upside down.Cheng Lin came closer and saw the specific scene clearly.

There were four bodies in total, wearing some kind of strange military uniform.

One fell outside the jeep with some blood stains on his clothes. There were huge hideous wounds on the shoulders and neck, with deep bones visible, but there was not much blood in the exposed wounds.

One was sitting in the driving position of the jeep, the front windshield of the car was broken.

It appeared to have been attacked, and there were blood stains on the broken glass.

The other is on top of another jeep, lying on a machine gun.

The last one was more than a hundred meters away from the vehicle and fell to the ground, seeming to have tried to escape.

All four bodies wore similar uniforms and had similar wounds.

The common feature is that the face is extremely pale and shriveled, and there is almost no blood in the wound, as if their blood has been sucked away.

Among them, the one who escaped was the worst. There was almost no good meat on his body, and the wounds were densely packed and very tragic.

In addition to these four people and the car.

What's more, there are a few dead bodies that resemble bats.

The reason it is said to be similar is that this kind of bat is very different from the kind that Cheng Lin has seen on the Internet.

First of all, their bodies are very huge, with their wings spread out, they can almost wrap up half of Cheng Lin Xiao's body.

This bat looks very ugly and hideous, with fangs and extremely strong claws.

The whole body was blue and black, and it looked like a dozen died.

Several were apparently killed by machine guns.

The other is the pile around the person who died escaping.

"Repair practitioner?"

Cheng Lin squatted down, the ninja was disgusted, and looked at the group of bats and the brutal man who had been torn apart.

He saw a wound that was obviously left after the flame burned.

There are also faint Spiritual Qi fluctuations in the air.

The Spiritual Qi in the practitioner's body dissipates after death, and within a certain period of time, it can be sensed by other practitioners.

"It seems that it is an elemental practitioner, and it should not be of very high grade...These bats are not simple, and they also have Spiritual Qi fluctuations. Is this the so-called beast that has been upgraded by the influence of psychic radiation?"

Cheng Lin frowned and thought.

[You found a small battle scene. Not long ago, there seemed to be a battle here. There were "vampire bats" on the ground. It seems that this investigative team was attacked by a large number of vampire bats.]

[Out of the corner of your eye, you suddenly saw something in the jacket pocket of the corpse on the ground, you resisted the nausea and took it out]

Jacket pocket?

Cheng Lin frowned, and saw the white corner of the military uniform pocket.

He pinched it out with two fingers.

It is a folded sheet of paper.

Cheng Lin unfolded it and saw that it was printed in English.

Thanks to the experience of playing those foreign stand-alone games, although Cheng Lin used to be a scumbag, but his English is still good.

He read the English headline.

"Order?"

Before he continued to work hard to identify, information emerged in his mind.

[You read this paper, and then you understand the cause and effect. These people belong to the army reconnaissance squad of the "Sahara" city.

There are many outposts near the city of Sahara,

The personnel stationed in the outpost perform tasks such as investigating the transshipment of security materials,

However, contact persons in Sahara City and various outposts found that

Its southwest outpost, "Shajiao City", has failed to communicate in accordance with the prescribed time for many times.

And there was no response to the radio inquiries in Sahara City.

So the local chief dispatched an investigation team to "Shajiaocheng" for investigation]

"Shajiao City?" Cheng Lin raised his head and looked at the somewhat hazy building complex in the distance, guessing it might be there.

"So these scouts were attacked by vampire bats here, and the entire army was wiped out."

He probably understood the situation.

[Congratulations on completing the fifth stage mission]

[Mission (Part 6): The Shajiao City outpost was attacked by a large number of vampire bats the day before yesterday. The vampire bats surrounded the entire city. The people inside the outpost suffered heavy casualties. Many breakouts were unsuccessful. Now only a few people can be dropped. With the construction lingering, please rush to Shajiao City to meet them and learn about the situation]

...

Hurry to Shajiao City?

understand situation?

What else do you know? Haven't you already said it very clearly...

Cheng Lin made a comment.

Immediately prepare to leave.

But when he was about to take a step, he suddenly thought of a question.

That is, the clothes on his body seem to be too inconsistent with the environment.

"If I wear this dress, people will know that I have a problem."

Cheng Lin thought for a while, his eyes stopped on the corpses, and he had an idea.

Quickly compared the four people, let alone say that these four people are quite interesting, they seem to come from different places from the looks of them.

There are whites, blacks, and Asian faces. They look like a miscellaneous army.

"It seems that the pattern of the Wasteland Era is really different, and the forces are obviously more messy."

Thinking about it, Cheng Lin chose the clothes of the person sitting in the driving position.

Only this person's clothes are basically intact.

The size is similar to him.

...

After changing into the man's clothes, Cheng Lin returned to the safe house and took a picture with the mirror. He felt that there was no problem, and then he came out again.

It was quite far from Shajiao City, Cheng Lin thought for a while and decided to drive forward.

Both jeeps can drive, but the difference is that there is a vehicle-mounted machine gun on the roof of one car.

On the roof of the other car was a strange device, which looked like some kind of radar facility.

After a little hesitation, Cheng Lin chose the latter.

He could drive a car, turn the key, and start a fire. Cheng Lin grabbed the steering wheel and started heading for the city in front of him.

There is no road in the wilderness, but there are roads everywhere.

Cheng Lin was infected by this rough style for a while, slammed on the gas pedal, and the brown-green jeep with rough-skinned skin rumbling forward.

The tires ran over the sand, raising a string of smoke and dust.

As it got closer, Cheng Lin finally saw what the city looked like.

The first thing I saw was the city wall.

Yes, this Shajiao City actually has walls.

In Cheng Lin's cognition, things like city walls are standard features in ancient cities.

In modern times, there is basically no such thing as city walls.

Unexpectedly, thirty years of nuclear war will not only lead to changes in the social structure.

Even the layout of urban buildings has "degraded".

The appearance of the city wall is very strange.

It is not boxy. From this perspective, it seems that there is a certain arc.

But it is not round.

A circle of city walls outside the entire city presents irregular geometric shapes.

Unfortunately, Cheng Lin's perspective limited his observation.

Can't see the whole face.

The city wall has been very dilapidated, many places have collapsed, and the buildings in the city can be seen from the fracture.

It was obviously a complex of buildings that had long been abandoned.

The entire building complex presents a very regular and characteristicless feeling.

It doesn't look like it was thirty years ago, it's more like a city built or rebuilt in the past few decades, and then abandoned.

The ruined walls are scattered, and the empty, slumped houses reveal a smell of no one for a long time.

"It seems that this place has long been deserted. No wonder it can only exist as a sentry post. It is estimated that there are only a few sentries living here in the entire city."

Cheng Lin thought secretly.

At this time, the jeep finally found a buried, dilapidated highway.

Along this highway, you can enter the urban complex not far ahead.

However, at this moment, Cheng Lin suddenly braked and forcibly stopped.

Since the city was already surrounded by that kind of vampire bats, it would be irrational for him to drive in directly.

Even if he has an immortal body.

"Let's go in and see the situation."

Cheng Lin thought about it, and jumped out of the car.

The car was parked on the highway entering the city, and a tall cross stood ten meters away on the side of the road.

It seems to be a steel structure, crooked, like road signs.

Or to use a more specific description, this seems to be a sculpture, a metal sculpture.

Its main body is a steel cross, and on the cross, an upside down body is cast from metal.

It seems to be punishing sinners.

Cheng Lin was curious for a while, and took a second look, and found that there was a metal sign under the sculpture, which seemed to have words on it.

"What kind of strange sculpture is this?"

He walked closer curiously and looked at the rusty sign.

A line of symbols is engraved on it.

It seemed to be some kind of text, which Cheng Lin didn't know.

Fortunately, the information in my mind was translated at the right time:

[You look at the text on the metal plate in confusion, don’t understand it, after a while, you suddenly understand its content]

[The translation is as follows: The human traitor "Cheng Lin" will surely imprison eternity on the cross until the end of the world]

Cheng Lin: "..."
