In the real world, Sichuan Province, on the west bank of the Min River, on a mountain cliff.

"To be honest, I hate snakes the most......"

These snakes that surrounded the Thunder Falcon team are obviously all special species that have been biochemically modified, and no one will want to be bitten by them, with the ability of the main brain, they can completely synthesize toxins that seal their throats in the true sense of blood, and they will not even leave the bitten person when they are injected with antivenom.

"What do we do now? You are the commander, and our life and death are all in your thoughts. Ghost Face burst the heads of the two poisonous snakes that pounced on him with two accurate shots, and said to Cheng Yanqiu.

"Using a plasma grenade, then using a nail gun to drive the steel spikes into the rock wall, using the ropes, we'll go down from the bounty side!" Cheng Yanqiu immediately came up with a countermeasure.

The opposite bank of the Leshan Giant Buddha is a flat river beach, and the cliff where the Thunder Falcon team is located is actually quite a distance away from the river beach, and not far from the river beach is the urban area of Leshan City, which has been abandoned.

At this moment, it was surrounded by snakes on three sides, and the only way to retreat was to rappel down from the cliff and fall to the top of the river.

On a flat and open ground, whether it is fighting or escaping, it is more advantageous for the Thunderfalcon team.

"Plasma grenade!" Ghost Face immediately roared, and a soldier numbered No. 11 immediately threw a hexagonal prism grenade towards the snakes, and when the grenade was still in mid-air, it had already begun to release bright blue electric light, and when it fell into the snakes, the electric light instantly enveloped half of the mountain, and the unique smell of protein being burned immediately diffused.

"Hurry, hurry!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity for the plasma grenade to clean up the poisonous snakes closest to the team, several thick steel nails have been driven deep into the rock, and the team members have taken out the slings, fastened the buckles, and quickly slid down the cliff-

"Wait! Wait a minute!! On the river beach...... More on the river beach! ”

……

……

Virtual worlds.

After the complete launch core was assembled, the short-lived partnership between Qi Lin and Wind Rose came to an end.

Wind Rose plans to go north and go to the Hellens Line to fight the Kuroshio, where she can earn a lot of merit points effortlessly using ER004, and in that place where the major forces are watching, someone who thinks about ER004 also wants to do something, and for her, the battlefield has become the safest place.

Qi Lin plans to continue to go south, and his top priority now is to return to the 404 base, first, to let Cooper help analyze this "complete activation core", and second, calculate the time, the damaged 404 base should be almost repaired.

As long as there are enough resources, the production line of Base 404 can continuously produce a large number of robot soldiers - Qi Lin still remembers that Yamato Heavy Industries, whose total population in the permafrost tundra was less than one-tenth of the alliance, was once on par with the alliance with the robot soldiers all over the mountains.

Although robot soldiers have many shortcomings, but compared with players, they have the advantages of not being afraid of death, no emotion, strong versatility, low cost and can recycle damaged parts for reuse, etc., if you can have a strong robot army, then it is undoubtedly a big help for Qi Lin.

As for the resource thing...... Although in the real world, each consortium is very strict about the limited resources in its hands, but in the virtual game world, as long as Qi Lin has enough resources, such as steel, a huge reserve of basic resources, it is completely as much as there is, not only each consortium has its own mines, but even the waste pickers can pull out a large amount of scrap iron from the ruins of the old era every day, and these scrap iron can become new steel ingots as long as they need to go through several processes such as sorting, cleaning and refurnace.

The only thing that is a little troublesome is the rare metals that are needed for precision components, which are rare resources for various forces, and the biggest way to obtain this resource also comes from scavenging.

In the old days, most of the rare metals that were mined and refined were used in electronic devices and precision instruments, and these things were almost everywhere in the ruins of cities.

In the beginning, the scavengers scavenged the ruins, focusing on food and weapons, but it was not until later that people gradually gained a foothold in the wasteland, and various forces set up acquisition points on the outskirts of the city's ruins began to buy the garbage containing rare metals.

Most of these things are small in size, and if you send someone to collect them, it will not only be time-consuming and laborious, but if you give this task to a large group of waste pickers, then these acquisition points only need one or two cans or a few rounds of ammunition to exchange for a whole sack of old mobile phones and old computers and the like.

The scavengers need food and weapons, while the consortium needs large quantities of rare metals, and the two sides cooperate with each other to take what they need.

"It seems that it is time for the Mutual Aid Society to set up a buying point on the side of the ruins of the city...... As long as the purchase price is slightly raised, then you should be able to get a lot of rare metals every day......" Qi Lin thought secretly, originally, he planned to borrow the acquisition channel of the Cheng consortium, but now that the Cheng consortium no longer exists, then everything can only rely on himself.

"It's been three days, and now it's almost the border between Yu Province and Su Province...... But...... Why can't I get in touch with Cooper? ”

Qi Lin glanced at the fuel gauge, there was less than ten percent of the remaining gasoline left in the fuel tank, this car was bought by the Tomahawk mercenary group he asked, but the Tomahawk mercenary group seemed to be frightened by Qi Lin's almost trivial request, the mercenary who sent the off-road vehicle just stopped the car more than a hundred meters away from Qi Lin, and ran away without looking back, without even caring about the money to buy the car.

There were no bombs in the car, and there were no hands and feet, after being exposed by Qi Lin in the previous time of hiding the knife, the Tomahawk mercenary group would definitely not be stupid enough to do that kind of thing, after all, the two sides have now ceased fighting, in case they annoy Qi Lin again, then they are the only ones who will suffer.

This is a JEEP Wrangler, which has only undergone a simple modification and has no additional power system, so the nuclear battery in Qi Lin's hand is completely useless.

Qi Lin didn't see any people along the way, not to mention the gas stations along the way, which had basically been emptied, leaving only the asphalt-like sediments at the bottom of the oil tank.

"If I can't get in touch with Cooper, I'm afraid I'll really have to take bus 11......"

Finally, when Qi Lin still had the last three percent of gasoline left, a noisy electric sound finally rang in his ears.

After the third stage, the function of communication between players through their personal brains has been completely disabled, and the only one who can contact Qi Lin in this way is Cooper.

"Hello hosts...... Hiss...... It's a pleasure to see you again...... Hiss ......"

The signal seemed to be very erratic, and Cooper's voice seemed to be detached.

"Cooper?"

"It's me...... Hiss...... Don't know why...... Hiss...... It seems that the communication distance is greatly limited...... Hiss...... Originally, it was expected that the entire Huaxia region should ...... Hiss...... are all within the range of the connection...... Hiss ......"

"Restrictions? Is it an electromagnetic interference field? ”

"It doesn't seem to be...... Hiss...... The cause could not be analyzed...... Hiss...... Could be the cause of the Earth's magnetic field...... Hiss ......"

Can't analyze the cause? Qi Lin instantly thought of the limitations of the main brain, for NPCs like Cooper, the existence of the main brain and the real world will be completely denied, if it is the main brain that limits Cooper's communication range, then for Cooper, no matter what method it uses, it will definitely not be able to find the reason.

"I see, you should be able to lock my position now, right? If you can help me find a car, I'm running out of gas. ”

“…… Hiss...... No problem...... We're here to help......"
