Chapter 16: The Secret Diary

The flickering fire on the kerosene lighter seemed to be extinguished at any moment, because the oxygen content in the cellar was not particularly high, but it was enough for Qi Lin, who was already very physically strong.

With the little bit of fire from the lighter, Qi Lin, who had nine perception attributes, had already seen all the scenes in this cellar of less than twenty square meters.

Directly below the ladder, there were two corpses with twisted limbs, covered with a thick layer of dust, and a look of despair could be vaguely seen on the distorted facial features, and the slightly open lips seemed to tell of silent hunger......

Although Qi Lin knew that these were only simulated by the game program, this did not mean that these images were completely fictional, and the people who could evacuate into the built underground shelter at the moment when the nuclear weapons fell accounted for less than one-fifth of the entire population of Huaxia......

In the corner of the cellar, a peeling, rusty gasoline generator leaned against it, and next to it, several square metal oil canisters stacked together, several of them scattered to the side.

Qi Lin walked over and weighed it, most of the oil tanks were empty, and only two oil tanks that had not yet been opened were heavy.

In fact, after so many days, even the remaining gasoline in the unused oil tank has almost evaporated.

This kind of square barrel-shaped oil tank has a capacity of only 20 liters for one tank and 40 liters for two cans, which is only one-third full for the 120-liter super large fuel tank of Qi Lin's off-road vehicle.

In addition to these things, there was only a pile of broken crockpots in the other corner of the cellar, Qi Lin roughly rummaged through, and there were no usable materials in it.

The two corpses, after eating up the grain stored in the cellar, the exit of the cellar was completely sealed by thick snow, and they starved to death.

As for freezing to death, Qi Lin thought it was unlikely, because there was an old-fashioned electric heater in the cellar, and given that there was still gasoline left for the generator, it would be absolutely no problem to supply the electric heater to operate - if there was no electric heater, it was estimated that the people in the cellar would have died earlier.

Because the sky is obscured by the dust and smoke caused by the nuclear explosion, so in the first half year, the earth has almost always been in a dark state, and the surface temperature will drop to dozens of degrees below freezing, which may be nothing for northerners, but Suzhou Province is located in the southeast of China, and people have no means and measures to resist ultra-low temperatures.

Low temperature, dehydration, and lack of oxygen are probably the reasons why these two corpses have become dried corpses.

The style of the electric heater is very old, and there is nothing special about it, plus the volume is not small, Qi Lin has no intention of bringing it, anyway, these things are taken to Thunder City, and it is estimated that it will be changed to a bottle of clean water, and every inch of space in his car is very precious.

Grabbing two cans of gasoline, Qi Lin left the cellar and headed to the next ruin.

The situation in the cellars of the village was almost the same – no food, a small amount of petrol and diesel remains, and well-preserved dried corpses.

In addition to this, Qi Lin also discovered something special.

An old-fashioned semiconductor radio from a hundred years ago, a laptop with a dead battery, an earthen double-barreled shotgun, a bag of damp and clumped black powder and iron sand, a small box of anti-radiation capsules, and a zombie.

This zombie was found when Qi Lin was inspecting the third cellar, I don't know what happened, it may be the reason for the shallow depth of that cellar, a human was transformed into a zombie by excessive radiation, and the evacuees who were with it left only some broken bones. When Qi Lin lifted the door of the cellar, the zombie couldn't wait to pounce, and then Qi Lin smashed his head with a punch.

The body fluids of the living dead also contain extremely high levels of radiation and a thing called a mutant virus, if ordinary people come into contact with these things in the wound and do not deal with them in time, they will slowly become their kind, but Qi Lin, as a first-level evolutionary, will naturally not be affected.

Every player has a small brain on their wrists, and the radio is naturally discarded by Qi Lin, the double-barreled shotgun is not very powerful, and the iron sand and black powder to be used are not as easy to get as standard bullets, but if it is sold to those slum players, it is still worth a lot of money.

After all, sometimes a hot weapon is likely to be an extra life.

Qi Lin couldn't use the anti-radiation capsule himself, but he could trade it in the same way, in addition to these, he drove the off-road vehicle over again, selected two well-maintained generators and put them on.

As for the laptop rated as blue quality by the system's intelligent brain, this is the main thing, connecting the charging cable whose rubber texture has aged and hardened to the charging dock of the off-road vehicle, Qi Lin pressed the power button on the computer.

It may be that the computer has not been used for too long, but it took five or six minutes before the familiar sound of music sounded, and the screen also lit up with the picture of the old Windows operating system.

From XP at the beginning of the 21st century to Win19 just released before the war, MS Microsoft, the largest technology company on the planet founded by the legendary Bill, has finally become history, and now the brain system in the shelter is all developed by a group of amazing scientists in just a few years after the outbreak of the war.

As a highly simulated intelligent simulation calculation, the intelligent brain system has even been given extremely high authority by humans, and some major decisions require the participation and analysis of the intelligent brain...... Of course, in the end, it is still the people in power among the human race who make the decision and decide, but in the era of the refuge, these people in power are all hidden in the shadows, and in the eyes of ordinary people, it is as if human beings are now ruled by a supercomputer.

Seeing that this laptop did not have a boot password, Qi Lin breathed a sigh of relief, he was not very proficient in the calculator industry.

There is naturally no problem with playing games and surfing the Internet, and simple program statements can be understood, but it is only limited to this, at least for the time being, so that he has no tools at hand, in the face of a locked computer, he can only do it.

After a cursory glance at the files on the computer, according to the game's system settings, the owner of the computer seems to be a college student, who returned to his old home in this small village due to the outbreak of war.

There were icons of several popular online games before the war on the desktop, Qi Lin didn't care, and clicked directly into the system disk.

Before the brain came out, the computer system had almost developed to the pinnacle of technology, a small notebook, the storage capacity of the hard disk was tens of thousands of terabytes, and the dense documents in it gave Qi Lin a headache.

Casually clicked on a folder called "System Files", and there were hundreds of small folders in it, all of which were named after some different Dongying people, Qi Lin couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth, revealing a somewhat helpless and somewhat weird smile.

Although he didn't know all of these names, Qi Lin had heard of some of them very well-known, and as for their identities...... Without exception, they are all "actresses" who shoot small movies of "love" and "action".

"MD, this game is too vulgar, isn't it?"

However, Qi Lin didn't have the time to click on the "Dongying blockbusters" that enjoyed these old eras, but quickly opened the next folder......

More than 10,000 terabytes of hard drives, 90 percent of which are games, and some are college assignments for an architecture student and other miscellaneous items...... All in all, there's nothing worth caring about in this computer.

"Is this laptop just a normal item?" Qi Lin was a little disappointed, he vaguely felt that the game system should not have designed such a strange link, leaving such a good notebook in a cellar, and it was just some useless things.

"Am I missing something? ……! ”

Qi Lin was suddenly shocked, and then clicked on the "System Files" folder where the small movie was stored before, and looked carefully at it line by line, and sure enough, the names on the fifth folder in the first row and the first folder in the seventh row coincided!

"There must be a problem!"

At first glance, it seems that you have pasted two more times when copying a folder, and most people will never care when you see it, but because of this, if you hide the real secret in a bunch of small movies, it is very easy for people to ignore the past!

Qi Lin clicked on the two folders, which were all a bunch of extremely "inappropriate" videos, but for the same video, the length in the folder below was a full twenty minutes!

Qi Lin fast-forwarded bit by piece, and finally, after passing a large number of inappropriate children's pictures, the camera turned and became pitch black, and at the same time, a deep male voice also came out.

"The Secret Diary, Chapter 12. Today is July 5, 2036, and counting the time, it has been two years since I escaped from there and lived in disguise. ”
