"Well, when I didn't say it." Four tugged at the corners of his mouth and continued to lower his head to tinker with his communications equipment.

"Although we can't stop the parasite from climbing the wall, we still have to find a way to seal the doors and windows, even if we can only block a few attacks, maybe we can buy that life-saving few seconds at the critical moment." At his request, Qi Lin and the others split all the priceless and expensive furniture in the villa into planks and strips, completely sealed every window of the villa, and then found a few more bedding and some flammable textiles, and poured gasoline on them.

The gasoline-soaked textiles were piled up in key passageways, such as directly below the stairs, in the corridors on the second floor, and at the front and back doors of the villas, and if the parasites entered, the ignited fabrics could form a wall of fire that temporarily blocked the parasites' path.

This is also the experience gained from the battlefield of Herens, in addition to water, fire is also one of the nemesis of parasites, although a temperature of a few hundred degrees may not be able to burn the body of the parasite, but for the parasitic worm itself in their brain, it is enough to kill.

"There's also a pit, just dig through the floor on the first floor—"

Behind the two entrances to the villa, the floor was also chiseled through by Qi Lin and them, so that even if those parasites passed through the wall of fire, they would fall directly into the basement because of these two pits.

"Do you need to put some spikes underneath or something?" Qi Lin put down the pickaxe in his hand and asked No. 3.

"There's no need for that, first of all, we don't have enough metal materials, if we use wooden thorns, we may not even be able to pierce the skin of the parasite and it will be broken, and secondly, even if there are metal spikes that don't hit the head, it's meaningless, there's no need to waste that time, anyway, as long as we can make those parasites fall into the basement, the purpose of these two traps will be achieved."

……

……

Thirty minutes passed quickly, and the outside of the villa was already covered with corpses charred by high-voltage electricity, but the number of parasites had never decreased—the number of parasites in the rich area of Vault 444 was probably hundreds of thousands, and even if a thousand parasites could be killed every minute, it would take more than half a day to kill them all.

The only good news was that those charred corpses could no longer be parasitized, otherwise, the pressure on Qi Lin and them would probably be even greater.

"How's it going, Four, have you been in contact with the 'Order'?" Qi Lin turned his head and asked, at this time, No. 4 was already sitting cross-legged on the floor, his fingers crackling on the keyboard, beads of sweat constantly oozing from the corners of his forehead, sliding down his cheeks to his chin, and finally dripping onto the keyboard.

Good thing the keyboard is waterproof......

The sweat-soaked keyboard became a little slippery and uncomfortable to type, but at the moment Number Four didn't have the time to care about it, and the messy code on the screen and the black and white snowflakes flashing from time to time made his mood almost terrible.

"Can't be reached...... It's weird...... Since the death of Coren Edas, the electromagnetic interference has returned, and it is even stronger than before, and I can't even find the signal I set up at the transfer station at the garbage treatment plant, let alone send a call for help......"

"How so? Haven't we destroyed the signal jamming tower? Falcon said incredulously.

"If I'm not mistaken, after the death of Coren Edas, the Mastermind has taken over the entire Vault 444, and with the Mastermind's abilities, you won't need anything like the Interference Tower to block your signal." Qi Lin said with a calm face, "By the way, if the long-distance communication channel is not available, will the short-distance one-to-one signal transmission be affected?" ”

Qi Lin said, ran out of the room, ran to the first floor, and then turned on the radio communication on the headset.

"Hey, hey?" Located on the second floor, the falcon also turned on the radio communication, and after a few tentative feedings, Qi Lin's voice immediately came from his headphones, although there was a trace of electric noise, but it was quite clear.

"It seems that the impact on one-to-one communication is not too big, and the main brain should be shielded by the frequency of the relay signal base station, so I think we have to change the way-" Qi Lin ran back to the second floor and said.

"Contact the troops who entered Vault 444 directly and ask them to send a force to rescue us...... Just say, 'We have important confidential information, and we must bring it back to the organization's headquarters in time, or the consequences will be dire." That would be enough for them to change their battle plan on the fly. ”

"But...... This is disinformation...... If we find out that we are cheating on the Order, it will be no different from being a deserter before......" Number Four said with some hesitation.

"It's important to stay alive at the moment, as long as you can get back alive, there is a way to find a way to excuse it, and as for the false information - this is not false information, at least we now know that there is a shadow of the mastermind behind the rebellion in Vault 444."

Qi Lin paused and continued: "Although the top level of the organization must know more about this matter than us, there is a premise, that is, before starting the mission, our team absolutely does not know about the rebellion and the mastermind...... Think about it, from a soldier's point of view, if a 'conspiracy' of this level is discovered, is it considered 'important confidential information'? ”

"That's right! Even if this 'intelligence' is worthless to the big guys, at least it's not a false piece of information, and we won't be court-martialed! And until they know the content of the classified information, they will definitely not die without help! Falcon slapped his palm vigorously and said excitedly.

"It's an excuse, but it's an excuse to keep us alive." Qi Lin nodded, "Okay, hurry up and find a way to contact all the coalition forces that can be contacted, whether it is the people of the 'organization' or the people of the Edas Consortium, as long as we hold on to this 'confidential information', they will definitely come to support us!" ”

"Trying...... Pregnant! I found a communication signal! It's the troops of the Edas Consortium! The other party is requesting a password verification ...... Password passes...... I got in touch with them! Four shouted.

"Tell them what I just said!"

"Did...... The reply was, 'Let's hold out for three hours, reinforcements will arrive in three hours.'" ”

"Three hours?" Hearing this reply, Qi Lin couldn't help frowning - without the shelter of the high-voltage electric field, let alone three hours, even thirty minutes would be difficult for them to deal with, and three hours would ...... They need to hold out at least two full rounds of "gaps"!

The first round may still be able to be defended, but even if it does, it will definitely consume a lot of ammunition and set traps, and by the second round, the overall defense force will definitely be much weaker than the first round, and at that time, how can they survive surrounded by parasites?
