Tokyo underground city

Chapter 227 Whistle Encoding

In addition to the strong man who was stabbed in the side of the neck by Lin Huaien, there were two wounded people in Vaskov's team.

They were all bitten by Coco.

When Vaskov's team members raided Lin Wynn and Tanya, they also attacked the cursed skeleton waiting outside the house. They used a capture net and also fired a veterinary anesthetic at Coco.

However, as an undead creature, Coco is directly immune to the attack of anesthetics. His muscle strength has reached 4.5 points. With the size of the giant wolf, it is not something that ordinary explorers can contend with.

The four strong men holding the capture net were thrown away by Coco's dragon, and the man closest to him was bitten in the shoulder.

When others saw that the situation was not good and rushed to save people, Coco took the opportunity and bit one of them.

"Damn it, the brown bear in my hometown is only as strong as this!"

The wounded man with a shoulder injury complained so loudly that Lin Huaien could hear him from a distance of dozens of meters when he was sent away.

However, Lin Huai'en obviously didn't understand Russian, so Vaskov was happy not to have to explain to him.

After sending away the two wounded who had to withdraw from the battle order due to fractures, Vaskov's combat members were left with 16 people.

Vaskov briefly introduced the situation to Lin Huaien: "We all belong to the Internal Affairs Department of the Moscow Association. You can think of our 'Interior Department' as equivalent to your 'Control Department', which is responsible for internal management." The underground city functional department.”

"But unlike your 'Control Department' which is basically a civilian staff, our 'Ministry of Internal Affairs' also takes care of some of the work of the 'Ministry of Corrections', so there are combatants like the 'Ministry of Internal Affairs Military Police'. I and I My companions are all internal affairs military police, with levels ranging from 30 to 45, but they are all the best in the army. I used some special props to suppress my strength to around level 60, otherwise I would not be able to withstand the rising suppression of the ground world. "

Vaskov showed Lin Huaien the tattoo on his lower arm. The golden double-headed eagle pattern flashed rhythmically on his arm. His true strength was at least a level 105 Zika explorer.

"Aren't the organizational forms of each dungeon association different?"

Lin Huai'en asked curiously. He didn't know much about the composition of the Shangdu Prefectural Association, let alone those from other countries.

And Vaskov nodded: "With different national political systems, the organizational forms of underground city associations are also different - except for our Moscow Association and a small number of East Asian associations, most underground city associations use the 'round table system' , that is, the most powerful underground city companies will send their own explorer representatives to negotiate and solve problems. They basically have no internal service departments. Except for a small number of intelligence agencies, most parliamentary work is uniformly funded by the round table conference. Then it’s up to the various underground city companies to compete.”

"The dungeon version of the parliamentary system..."

Lin Huaien nodded: "I know this."

Unlike the surface world, the number of explorers in the underground city is not only very small, but also often affiliated to various underground city companies, so the one-person-one-vote electoral system is basically impossible to implement.

In addition, those particularly large dungeon companies that have been inherited for half a century often have a substantial veto power, so in the end the so-called parliamentary system became a round table system where strength speaks for itself.

Vaskov's statement is relatively bare.

But within the Urban Association, the term "parliamentary system" is basically still used.

Vaskov nodded and did not dwell on this issue. He greeted his team members and introduced them to Lin Huaien:

"Ivan, who was almost killed by you yesterday, is codenamed [Brown Bear]; his friend who came out of the same recruit camp as him, [Psycho Knife] Pavlov; [Ghost] Yevgeny... [Hard Gun] Macaro Husband...the only woman in my team, [Female Soldier] Serafima."

Vaskov knew the names of his team members by heart, but Lin Huaien was soon confused by the various syllables, and in the end he only remembered the nicknames.

Looking at his confused look, Vaskov was not too surprised.

He nodded and said, "That's why it's popular among explorers to use 'code names' - because then they can be freely translated."

Lin Huaien nodded and gave up the idea of ​​remembering their names.

In addition to the two people who were injured and sent away, there are 16 members of Vaskov's team, basically a group of six. In addition to Vaskov, there are three team captains, namely [Hard Gun] Marka Love, [Ghost] Yevgeny and [Female Soldier] Serafima.

As for the stormtroopers [Brown Bear] and [Psycho Knife], they are both elites directly under Vaskov.

In other words, the "ace".

Now that Lin Huai'en recalled the scene where [Brown Bear] Ivan avoided his three-speed thrust, he felt a little calm.

Thinking of this, Lin Huaien couldn't help but look at Vaskov beside him: "What is your code name?"

The tall young man thought for a moment: "...[Political Commissar]."

Lin Huai'en was stunned for a moment: "Are you really a [political commissar]?"

"If it is really [Political Commissar], can I still use this code name?"

Vaskov smiled and shook his head: "But apart from that, I am indeed a Jew and a member of the TG party."

He was a little dumbfounded, but he immediately realized that Vaskov was playing tricks.

Fortunately, Vaskov had no intention of continuing this topic. He turned to look at Tanya in the distance and said:

"Okay, say hello to Miss Prisoner, let's set off. First, go to the ruins of the village where she last appeared, and see if we can gain anything there."

,

The gloomy weather carried the wind and snow, and poured into the woods. The 16-man combat team scattered into the Siberian wilderness, but it melted in like snow and could not be seen.

Lin Huai'en could only see the back of [Brown Bear] Ivan in the distance, but could not see anyone else wearing a white cloak.

And the only one following him and Tanya was Vaskov.

Lin Huai'en estimated that the skirmisher line of the combat military police controlled at least a safe area of ​​about 300 meters around, which was completely different from what Officer Shao and his colleagues did.

It is also a practice that was born under the special environment of Siberia.

"Snapped!"

There was a gunshot in the distance, Vaskov suddenly stopped, and then a whistle came from the distance, long and crisp.

Hearing the whistle, Vaskov put his index finger and thumb into his mouth and whistled as well.

Two quick sounds and one long sound.

"Let's go, it's a werewolf."

Vaskov glanced at Lin Wynn and said, "I let them maintain the status quo."

"Don't you have dungeon skills specifically for communication?"

Lin Huaien took a deep breath. He saw a radio walkie-talkie on Vaskov and the others, but perhaps because of the cold or other reasons, they did not use the radio.

"Whistle is the best means of communication."

As Vaskov said, he put a whistle in his pocket into Lin Huaien's hand: "Even in the deep underground city, we still use whistles - there is no need to consume energy or special attention. Operate with force.”

"When fighting, put the whistle into your mouth and you can communicate with your teammates about the battle situation while fighting."

"Can it still be like this..."

Lin Huai'en couldn't help but feel a little dumbfounded. Indeed, the penetrating power of whistles was far stronger than shouts. In an environment like a deep dungeon where every gram of weight is crucial, a small whistle can solve too many things.

Noticing that Lin Huaien seemed to be very interested in whistles, Vaskov thought for a moment and put an almost rotten pamphlet into his hand.

"What is this?" Lin Huai'en was stunned for a moment.

"Whistle coding by various associations."

Vaskov nodded: "Although each association will encrypt their own whistle signals, for deep explorers who are familiar with them, no matter how they are encrypted, they will remain the same."

"Whisting is to dungeon crawlers what sign language is to the deaf - even if the details are adjusted, if you want to pursue efficiency, it must be intuitive enough and cannot be easily changed."

Lin Huaien looked at the booklet in his hand and nodded.

.

When camping at night, Lin Huaien opened Vaskov's pamphlet and was shocked.

It is densely packed with notes, which is no less impressive than Yuan Ximu's script book.

He couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This... is really a generous gift..."

But Lin Huaien also knew that Vaskov's kindness to him was not without reason.

In other words, Vaskov will show his kindness to all Friendship Society explorers who are preparing to head into the deep.

Just like the city of Yemo where Catalina is located, would assassinate potential explorers from other associations, the managers of other associations would also take the initiative to "protect" and "cultivate" their own potential explorers.

It's just that this kind of 'protection' does not mean putting them in "infancy", but throwing them out to face greater difficulties.

Just like what Minister Xiao did to Lin Huai'en.

She asked Lin Huaien to face the harsh wind and snow in Siberia, and also sent Vaskov, a protector with experience in Siberia and deep underground cities.

"Compared to "Devil's Clock Hand" and [Giant's Will], this is a truly generous gift..."

Lin Huai'en sighed while flipping through the Russian version of the whistle code.

As Vaskov said, whistle coding is not like a "language" but closer to a "signal".

In other words, for the explorers, they do not need to say "There is a large group of werewolves in the direction of the team at 12 o'clock", but "At 12 o'clock, there are more than ten werewolves" is enough.

The three phrases correspond to three whistle combinations, respectively linked to length and timbre.

In other words, for explorers, the whistle is more like an "instrument" than a tool. Although it is not beautiful, it can still express itself clearly enough with "different melodies." mean.

"For example, the signals of 'encountering enemy attack' and 'calling teammates' are a series of uninterrupted rapid whistles, because for explorers, they do not need to distinguish the difference between the two situations. They All you need to know is, 'Come here!'"

There are many situations like this, and it is quite a bit like when foreigners learn Chinese, they see "timely" and "facts".

However, because of this, the total vocabulary of whistle codes is limited after all. As a dungeon explorer, Lin Huai'en's mental memory is several times that of ordinary people, so it took him two days to memorize all the whistle codes.

.

"Here we are."

Lin Huaien was one step ahead of Vaskov and told the meaning of the whistle.

Vaskov nodded and smiled without much surprise.

As Vaskov said, the whistle code used by the Internal Affairs Gendarmerie is slightly different from the official code in Moscow. But after Lin Huaien listened to Vaskov for so long, and compared his reaction, he could understand what it meant.

"Here we are."

Now that Lin Wynn had been notified, Vaskov turned his attention to the hunter girl beside him.

Compared to a few days ago, Tanya became much more haggard. But in this situation, there wasn't much that Lin Huai'en could do. He could only help her as much as possible and march in the wind and snow to prevent her from falling into the snow because she was handcuffed.

"How many people have I killed here."

When Lin Huaien heard it, Tanya asked Vaskov.

"32." Vaskov shook his head and replied: "The M1891 rifle bullets taken out from the corpse match the 'rifling information' of your Mosinagan rifle. In the Moscow Association, this type of rifle is still used. There aren’t many explorers with old-fashioned rifles, so we almost immediately locked the suspect on you.”

"Coupled with the testimony of two witnesses who narrowly escaped death, we basically have both human and physical evidence."

Hearing this, Tanya smiled miserably: "Then do I have any need to defend myself?"

"Yes." Vaskov looked at Tanya and nodded: "Based on your daily words and deeds, as well as the relevant testimonies of your relatives and friends, we believe that you lack the 'motive' to attack these villagers."

"You killed your 'uncle' Alexander, who was closest to you. Although there may be some internal reasons that we don't understand, but considering the fact that you lost your memory, I would rather believe that you were [mind controlled]."

Lin Huaien's fingers trembled, and when Tanya heard Alexander's name, her body also shook in the wind and snow——

"[Mind Control]..." Lin Huaien saw that Tanya slowly raised her head, and suddenly there was light in her eyes——

Although that kind of brilliance is like frost blooming in the darkness.

"Yes, [Mind Control]." Vaskov nodded: "A [Psychic Technique] often used by the explorers of Yemo City. My companion has also been hit by this technique. Her state at the time was different from yours. almost."

"So, although I am not sure, I am willing to believe that you are innocent."

Vaskov said calmly.

The wind and snow in the woods suddenly became violent.

Tanya raised her head subconsciously, looked at the sky, and murmured to herself——

"A snowstorm is coming."
