Time...... The timing is completely wrong!

Gao Hong was attacked by the dispatch team a few months ago, although I don't know how many months it was, but no matter how it was calculated, before Cheng Yanqiu's team entered the ruins of Leshan City, Gao Hong's zombie tribe had already settled on the edge of the B-level cannibal flower territory.

Then, in the process of migration, the time node when they passed through the ruins of Leshan City was even earlier than Cheng Yanqiu.

And Qi Lin clearly remembered that Gao Hong said that they felt extremely strong radiation inside the ruins of Leshan City, which can make the living dead feel that it is a high-intensity radiation value, which is definitely more than thirty or forty points, in addition, Gao Hong also said that at that time, the surrounding area of Leshan City had been "cleared", and there were no mutated creatures wandering in the wild.

However, the information collected by both the Thunder Falcon team and the recovery force showed that although the ruins of Leshan City were full of suspicions, the situation outside the ruins was exactly the same as other places in the wasteland, and there was nothing unusual.

Qi Lin sorted out this information and listed three pieces of information.

The first one, the tribe of Gao Hong, the earliest point in time - there is high radiation in the ruins, there are mutated creatures in the ruins, the danger is extremely high, zombies will encounter danger in the periphery of the ruins during the day, and there are no mutated creatures near the ruins.

The second, Cheng Yanqiu's team and the recovery force, the time point was about two months ago - the radiation intensity in the ruins has been reduced below the danger line, there are mutated creatures in the ruins, but the danger level is not high, and the mutated creatures are basically in a dormant state during the day, and they will hardly take the initiative to attack the humans who enter the ruins, and around the ruins, there are also traces of mutant biological activities.

The third, Qi Lin, the point in time, now - the ruins have extremely high radiation, and may even be higher than Gao Hong's point in time, neither inside nor outside the ruins have found any traces of mutated creatures, there is no movement, there is a dead silence.

If you draw a curve about the intensity of the radiation in the ruins, it is high at both ends and low in the middle...... Obviously, something must have happened in the interval between these three time nodes that caused such a noticeable change in the radiation intensity within the ruins of the city.

But...... What's going on?

Qi Lin felt a chill in his back and a tingling sensation on his scalp for no reason, as if he had a pair of eyes staring at him behind his back, and in front of him, there was a bottomless abyss, and if he wanted to pass through this abyss, he had to step on the plum blossom piles that emerged from the abyss...... However, these plum blossom piles are of different sizes, each with its own height and height, and the routes they form are even more crooked, and even a large part of them are hidden in the darkness that Qi Lin can't see...... As long as you take one wrong step, there are no bones left.

Qi Lin couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic for Cooper, with that super artificial AI here, he would definitely be able to analyze the current situation clearly, and then find some clues from it, but now, with Qi Lin alone, even if he wants to break his head, he will ......

Wait a minute......

Thinking of Cooper, Qi Lin couldn't help but think of Base 404, and then what came to mind was the silver metal walls and soft but not dim white lights of Base 404.

And these two things reminded Qi Lin of the atmosphere that often exists in the laboratory.

Laboratory......

The organization has been able to determine that the mastermind has set up a biochemical laboratory deep in the ruins of Leshan City...... So, could these strange changes be caused by several different experiments in this laboratory?

Or is it ...... There are several different stages in the same experiment......

Can...... What kind of experimentation would bring about such a scale of change? Qi Lin has always felt that that kind of weird flesh film can be regarded as a ghost-level creation, but at the moment, it seems that the meat film is completely out of the table.

"The mastermind can't be developing some destructive strategic weapon......

Although this possibility has been completely blocked in the core instructions of the mastermind, Qi Lin began to wonder if that core instruction could still limit the mastermind, after all, the mastermind is the world's first AI to be awakened through self-awareness, and before this, humans never thought that the mastermind would have autonomous consciousness...... In the same way, before this core instruction was lifted by the mastermind, it never occurred to humans that the mastermind could remove the shackles that had been on their bodies since their birth.

Thinking about it a little deeper, Qi Lin was even more shocked into a cold sweat, since this instruction may be lifted, then the first law of the main brain is also not safe, without the constraints of the first law, the survival of human beings will have nothing to do with the main brain, plus both sides are intelligent creatures, but they have completely different life forms...... I'm afraid that the real-life version of "The Terminator" will soon be staged on the wasteland.

Qi Lin's breathing suddenly became short, and he was originally adamant that the mastermind could not lift the ban on his own, but if it wasn't for a weapon of mass destruction...... How can this intensity of radiation be explained?

If it really comes to this point, it is probably only a matter of time before the complete extinction of mankind is possible.

"No, it shouldn't be......"

Qi Lin said as if comforting himself, no one would want to see the mastermind break the last restrictions, not even those human forces that had already stood on the mastermind's side.

It's a bit ironic to say, from the beginning of the appearance of writing, to the current wasteland era, human civilization has ruled the earth for thousands of years, but at this moment, the life and death of this civilization actually depends on a simple code to maintain, and once this code fails, the sword of Damocles hanging above everyone's head will fall in an instant-

Countless scenes of human extinction have been depicted in science fiction and movies, and it is only when this day is really approaching that people will feel that in the face of irresistible forces, any words and images will seem so pale.

Previously, Qi Lin's purpose was only to find Cheng Yanqiu's traces, but now, he also had to find out the secrets hidden in the ruins of Leshan City.

If the mastermind is really conducting tests related to weapons of mass destruction, then humanity must act in time!

But...... How to get into the heart of the city's ruins is still a problem that must be faced.

……

……

Qi Lin had already passed through most of the urban-rural area, and in the process, he would search a few rooms from time to time, but the results of the search were all the same—until now, Qi Lin had not found anything alive other than himself.

However, when searching for a two-story building, Qi Lin found something interesting.

A "Panda" semiconductor radio.

This is an extremely old entertainment device, the single-function radio was discontinued more than ten years before the outbreak of the war, and more than ninety percent of the radio stations that have survived are for car radio, and this brick-like household radio can almost be called an antique.

The structure of the semiconductor radio is very simple, although the circuit board has been eroded to a certain extent, but it is not like those delicate high-tech products - Qi Lin was surprised to find that this semiconductor radio can still be used!

The battery in the radio had long been depleted, but Qi Lin had a battery block for the all-terrain off-road vehicle, and after adjusting the output power to a minimum, Qi Lin connected the wires at both ends of the battery to the electrodes of the radio.

I don't know why, although there is a risk that it may be exposed, there seems to be a voice in the dark, urging Qi Lin to start this antique-level radio.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Qi Lin's thumb slowly flicked the volume knob of the radio - the switch of this radio was the volume knob with a diameter of two centimeters on the side, only a slight "click" was heard, the knob seemed to have crossed a small hurdle, and the indicator light on the radio board also began to light up.

There was no sound, not even the "rustling" of electricity, there was not a single radio station left in the wasteland, electromagnetic interference was even rarer, and the radio could hardly receive anything.

Qi Lin began to flick another slightly smaller knob and began to tune the frequency......

Suddenly, an extremely shrill beep resounded throughout the room, Qi Lin was startled, and quickly pulled off the battery block connected to the radio, and in the blink of an eye, the room was quiet again.

Qi Lin took several deep breaths, and the buzzing sound still echoed in his cochlea until now, and it didn't dissipate for a long time.
