Wasteland Code Survival

Chapter 85 The Secret of the Castle

"Xiaodie, come and have a look." Qi Lin waved his hand behind him.

Song Xiaodie, who was keeping vigilant at the back, immediately leaned over. Qi Lin brushed aside the weeds with one hand, exposing the mummy on the ground. When Song Xiaodie saw the wound on the mummy's neck, she couldn't help blurting out a term: " vampire!"

"Have you seen it?" Qi Lin was a little excited. Could it be that there is such a strange power in this game?No, if it exists in the game world, then it should also exist in reality... It's just that ordinary people always think it's just a legend!

"En." Song Xiaodie nodded.

"Where did you see it?"

"In novels and movies."

"..."

If it was said that Qi Lin's heart was still a little hot in the last second, in this second, it would be equivalent to pouring a large bucket of ice water on him from head to toe.

"Don't you have Eastern European blood? The birthplace of vampire legends is in Eastern Europe. Don't you have some more reliable legends?" Qi Lin didn't give up.

"But I grew up in China! If you ask me about Journey to the West, I might know more about it..." Song Xiaodie, with long light blonde hair, said in standard Chinese.

"..."

The legend of vampires spread in the folk tales of the Balkan Peninsula and Eastern Europe in the early days. At that time, vampires were more similar to creatures like zombies in China. The reason why such legends appeared was largely due to the underdevelopment of science And the strong religious atmosphere of that era.

Coupled with the almost unsolvable plague at that time, and some strange phenomena that can now be explained by science, this led to the "birth" of vampires.

Later, vampires were "beautified" from zombies to nobles in the dark world. This was thanks to a large number of writers whose brains broke through the sky. It was only during this period that the image of vampires began to slowly become fixed, and related stories Stories and works gradually blossomed and flourished.

Pale complexion, sharp fangs, aristocratic living habits, blood-sucking, feud with werewolves, first embrace, etc., many of the characteristics of vampires are actually created by humans. As for the ancestor of vampires, "Cain "And so on, in fact, it is not mentioned in the Bible at all, this statement is derived from a video game at the end of the 20th century...

In other words, things like "vampires" are actually a product of human imagination. So far, there is no solid evidence to prove the real existence of vampires.

However, legends generally have a certain basis, and artistic creation generally has its prototype. It is the mummy in front of him that makes Qi Lin more convinced of the authenticity of vampires.

Compared with the diameter of the holes on the neck of the mummy, the size of this creature is not too large, and judging from the fact that there are no other scars on the corpse, either the murderer possesses the ability to stun or hypnotize the "prey", or It's just that the power is too strong, so that the prey can't make any resistance at all.

Coupled with the high-level mutant creatures obediently reared in the castle, Qi Lin is more inclined to the latter.

If D-level mutated creatures can be tamed, then the "master" of this castle should at least have the strength of C-level or above, converted to the player's level, that is, an evolutionary of level [-] or above.

Could it be that this castle is actually a vampire castle?
Qi Lin suddenly felt that there seemed to be a thick layer of suspicion covering the Li family's ancient castle, which was already extremely strange.

The corpse is the dead of the old era, but the Li Family Castle in the old era was an open public attraction - a vampire lived in the castle as a scenic spot... Qi Lin felt that this subject alone could be used by the author to open another It's time to write another novel.

"Then...shall we go back?" Song Xiaodie looked at the wound on the mummy, and subconsciously clenched the compound bow in her hand.

Qi Lin shook his head slowly: "Don't worry, let's see again. Anyway, this game can be revived. If I don't even have the courage to explore the unknown, I might as well go to Thunder City to set up a stall to sell double-headed beef barbecue."

……

Avoiding all kinds of powerful mutant creatures along the way, it took the two of them almost an hour to approach the northernmost tower of the castle, and then bumped into the first living creature after entering the castle.

It is not entirely true to say that it is a living thing. It is a high-level zombie that is completely different from humans. More than a dozen arms have grown out of its skinny upper body. The end of each arm is a highly alienated claw. On the side of the neck of this corpse, there is also a highly decomposed wound. Due to the existence of this wound, only half of the neck left cannot support the weight of the head. Dragging on the chest, like a drooping tumor.

And the cervical spine that was supposed to be upright was distorted into a curved shape like an arch bridge.

Seeing such a disgusting monster, let alone Song Xiaodie's face turned pale all of a sudden, even Qi Lin felt an unspeakable nausea - this zombie's strength is not strong, and it is only a mid-level F-level zombie if it survives. Level, but this terrifying appearance is definitely ranked in the top three among the monsters Qi Lin has encountered.

It's just that this wound...is it not dead after being sucked blood, and then revived after being irradiated?
The battle ended quickly, and the sharp bone blade cut off all the zombie's more than a dozen arms and cut off the curved cervical spine neatly, completely separating the crumbling head from the zombie's body.

Kicking the corpse of the zombie aside, Qi Lin walked gently to the door of the tower - he had lightened the fight just now as much as possible, but if the other party was really a vampire with level [-] evolutionary strength, it is estimated that The moment he entered the castle, he might have been discovered.

There is a mechanical lock on the door of the tower, which was installed by the managers of the scenic spots in the old days. The key is probably only in the hands of the managers in charge of the scenic spots, but Qi Lin doesn't have much time to find the key now. Chopping down, the alloy door lock was cut off from the middle.

Pushing open the wooden door, a stale smell of dust came rushing towards his face, Qi Lin immediately shut up and held his breath, and at the same time covered Song Xiaodie's mouth and nose behind him who hadn't reacted yet with one hand.

The dust cleared, and the fresh air from the outside poured into the tower. Only then did Qi Lin cautiously step into the tower, holding the Glock in one hand and the bone blade in the other.

"If I knew the opponent might be a vampire, I should have ordered some silver bullets in Thunder City..."

Although silver is not suitable for bullets due to its low hardness, there are also a small number of silver bullets for sale in Thunder City's commercial shops due to some rich people who have a special hobby for precious metals.

The first floor of the tower is very empty, only a few rows of decaying wooden cabinets on the ground near the wall, and a rectangular table placed in the middle of the tower.

The stairs leading to the second floor of the tower are winding upwards close to the inner wall. As for the downward direction—Qi Lin stepped on the rough limestone floor with his feet, and the feeling of feedback from the soles of his feet and the dull voice told Qi Lin a fact , the ground floor of the tower is solid.
