Wasteland Code Survival

Chapter 982

Vault 861, a dilapidated single-occupancy mid-zone dwelling.

Persephone has been stranded in this place for six days.

A dirty blanket was crumpled up and stuffed in the corner of the dilapidated sofa. Empty bags of the most low-grade synthetic food were scattered all over the floor, as well as a few blood-stained alcohol cotton balls.

Persephone leaned back against the sofa, lifted her dirty shirt with one hand, and brought a plastic bottle closer to the wound on her side with the other hand.

Her personal account has been frozen, and she was able to exchange these supplies thanks to a delicate watch she usually wears on her wrist—however, in the black market controlled by gangs, even that watch worth tens of thousands of resource points It can only be exchanged for materials worth less than [-] points, and they are all of the lowest grade...

Medical alcohol is hard to come by, and she doesn't have enough money, so she can only use salt and water to prepare normal saline, and use normal saline to rinse the wound.

"hiss……"

The liquid in the plastic bottle was poured on the wound, which made Persephone immediately clenched the collar she held in her mouth—although the physiological saline solution has the same solution concentration as human cell fluid, it is quite a comparison for the wound. It's softened, it's not as irritating as hypertonic saline and alcohol, but it still makes Persephone almost faint.

She was lucky, the bullet seemed to have just passed between the internal organs. If the spleen had been shattered, she would have died a few hours ago.

And even more fortunately, the person who came to arrest her was a secret agent belonging to the Union Gendarmerie. The weapon they used was a [-]mm submachine gun—if it was a large-caliber assault rifle issued by a regular army In terms of a rifle, being shot at this part is definitely enough to cut Persephone's body in half from the middle!
But... even if she survived until now, I'm afraid there is not much time... Physiological saline can only clean the wound, but it can't sterilize it. It is simply impossible to take it out under the current conditions.

Without any medicine to stop the bleeding, Persephone could only tightly wrap a bandage made of rags around her waist... Although pressing to stop the bleeding could easily cause tissue necrosis, compared to dying from excessive blood loss, she had no other choice. of choice.

……

Persephone's slender neck was slightly tilted back, and she leaned her head against the back of the sofa. She slowly closed her eyes, and began to recall what had happened in the past few days.

After Qi Lin was officially wanted by the consortium alliance, she was already aware of her danger. She has always known that behind the consortium alliance, there is a behemoth-like organization hidden. It is completely unscrupulous, and this time the arrest warrant for Qi Lin seems to be issued by the consortium alliance, but in fact, the organization behind the alliance is the real black hand behind the scenes.

The relationship between me and Qi Lin is not a secret, if they can't catch Qi Lin, I will obviously become the organization's second target——Three hours before the arrest warrant was issued, Persephone had already Find a way to escape from the Lexingshield Consortium, and secretly board a train used to transport laborers.

After the train arrived at the station, Persephone got off the train among the laborers. It was also at this time that she discovered that her personal account had been frozen by the mastermind.

Although her arrest warrant hasn't been issued yet, but her account has been frozen, which already explains a lot of problems. Persephone can basically be sure that the person who hunted her is definitely on her way.

……

However, before the pursuers found her, another person found her.

The highest executive officer of the sixth district——Qin, the other party used a scrapped terminal to get in touch with Persephone, and used enough information to gain Persephone’s trust. Qin said that as long as Persephone If Ni can go to the sixth district, he can provide her with shelter and find a way to send her to the ground.

Although she still has some doubts in her heart, for Persephone at this moment, she can only choose to trust the other party - if the other party wants to arrest herself, there is no need to make this promise at all, as long as the person is sent to The place where she is now will do.

But the other party not only didn't do this, but instead provided Persephone with a temporary hiding place, that is, this semi-abandoned one-person residence.

For the past few days, Persephone has been looking for a way to the sixth district, but the consortium alliance seems to have noticed that she is hiding in this refuge, and the entire refuge has entered a state of almost martial law. , Let alone leaving by train, even going to places with a lot of people, Persephone must be cautious.

This morning, Persephone originally planned to go to the black market to find out if there was any other way to leave this shelter—even though she wrapped her face tightly with a turban and her high chest It was flattened with a tightly wrapped belt, but the curve between her waist and hips still revealed her gender. A drunk man tried to touch her breasts, but accidentally grabbed the wrong place. Pulled off the scarf on Persephone's head.

Persephone immediately covered her face with her arms, then kicked the drunk man's crotch forcefully, and then hurriedly left the crowded black market.

Perhaps it was because the screams of the drunk man rolling on the ground clutching his crotch were too loud. Many people in the black market turned their attention to it, including a Consortium Alliance agent who was inquiring about information in the black market.

Maybe it was to monopolize the feats and bonuses for capturing the target, or maybe it was knowing that Persephone was a rare stunner. In short, this agent did not choose to send out the information that he had found Persephone, but secretly followed Behind Persephone, trailing all the way...

Persephone quickly discovered the stalker, she deliberately led him into a remote alley, and then used a pistol she carried with her to deal with the agent...

However, the opponent's counterattack before dying also injured Persephone, and this bullet that was still in Persephone's body was also shot from the opponent's gun.

After taking away all the useful things from the agent, Persephone threw the stripped naked body in the alleyway of the slums. In the slums, there are many more corpses of this type every day. , so there is no need to worry that someone will find the missing agent.

It's just that the only thing that made Persephone a little worried was that this kind of agent needs to report to the higher level every day. The disappearance of an agent is enough to attract a large-scale search ...

Persephone felt slightly regretful, she should have gone to another black market a little further away from her residence.

Breathing slowly became steady, the wound on her waist seemed to have begun to scab, Persephone struggled to support the floor with her arms, and got up from the ground.

Apart from a dozen empty cans on the table, there were two guns. One was her sidearm, a p226 produced by Sig Sauer. She used this gun to kill the man who was following her. Agent, the P226 has the last four rounds in the magazine besides the loaded one.

As for the other gun, it was the MP5K compact submachine gun used by the agent. She failed to find any spare ammunition on the agent's body, which was obviously placed elsewhere. There is only less than half left.

With this amount of ammunition, even a small-scale conflict can't be dealt with at all, and what makes Persephone even more headache is that all her food has already been eaten yesterday.

She went to the black market today not only to inquire about news, but also to buy some food, but that damned drunk messed up all her plans...

This hiding place is no longer safe, she must move immediately, even if she can't go to the sixth district, she can't stay here any longer...

Persephone breathed heavily the turbid air in the room, the air pump that delivered the fresh air had already stopped working, and only the ventilation fan on the ceiling was still whirling and creaking... Although the air here smelled bad. It smells bad, but at least it can still provide people with breathing. Unlike the tunnels in the slums, it is impossible to leave the house without wearing a breathing mask.

"Huh...huh... let's go after the wound doesn't affect the movement much..."

After a lot of effort, Persephone moved her body onto the sofa, covered the bandage on the wound with one hand, and firmly grasped the cotton wadding squeezed out from the broken part of the sofa with the other hand.

She is very sleepy and exhausted. In the past few days, she has not slept more than three hours a day, and the quality of sleep is very poor. There are two huge dark circles on her fair face, and her eyelids are so heavy that they seem to be poured. Like lead, it keeps falling.

"can not sleep……"

Persephone bit her lips hard with her white teeth, trying to use the pain to keep herself awake—at this moment, the sound of knocking on the door suddenly rang.

"Who?" Persephone asked with a sharp and hoarse voice similar to that of a middle-aged and elderly woman. Her false voice skills are very good. If you don't see her face and figure, you can see her through the door. Anyone would think that there lived an older woman who was over fifty years old.

"Routine inspection." The voice of the person outside the door was extremely cold, without any emotion in his tone.

"Wait a minute... My legs and feet are a little awkward... Cough cough..."

Persephone climbed down from the sofa, grabbed the MP5K on the table, walked behind the door, and pressed the muzzle of the gun against the door panel made of composite panels.

This is the most rudimentary residence in the middle area. Not only does it not have a bulletproof airtight door made of metal, there is also no peephole on the door panel to peek into the situation of the outer door. Persephone can only carefully open the door a crack——

A huge force came from the door in an instant!The people outside the door obviously intend to use brute force to push the door open!Persephone was immediately pushed backward by this force—but at the same time, she pulled the trigger on the door panel without hesitation!

The bullets poured out from the muzzle of the gun, pierced through a thin layer of door panel, and there was a dull sound of piercing into the flesh and blood, and the fallen body of the guy outside the door directly knocked the door open. Fell to the ground.

The other party was not an enforcer not wearing a taupe vest, but a gendarme wearing a black gendarme uniform!This is not a routine inspection at all!
Moreover, the other party is not alone!

Persephone crawled into the blind corner behind the door with both hands and feet, took out a slender needle tube from her underwear, and stabbed it into her neck forcefully!

Inside the needle is a high-grade stimulant, and this is also the last hole card in Persephone's hand.

As the medicine started to take effect, Persephone only felt a strong force pouring into her body, and the pain from the wound in her waist and abdomen also began to become less obvious... In just half a second, her whole body was already Recovered from a serious injury to almost full glory.

After emptying the last few rounds in the magazine, and knocking down the second person who rushed in, Persephone quickly bent down and passed in front of the fallen person, and in the blink of an eye, she had already put the short assault rifle in his hand. He copied it in his hand, turned sideways and fired at the door!
The search team composed of five agents was wiped out in an instant, but Persephone's whereabouts have also been exposed—the weapon used by the other party did not have a silencer installed on it, and the gunshots were enough to spread far away, knocking out all the agents in the surrounding area. are all attracted...

Must get out of this place immediately before being surrounded!

Taking away all the magazines from the corpse, and taking off a breathing mask hanging by the door, Persephone rushed out of this humble hiding place, and started running wildly along the alley on the right— She has been familiar with the area near her residence in the past few days. This road leads to the slum area of ​​Vault 861. The terrain is complex, and various lanes and paths criss-cross. It is an excellent place to play hide-and-seek with the agents. place.

But her luck was not good. Just when she rushed to a crossroad, she happened to bump into a team of special agents running out from the other side.

The other party was also five people, but the leader was wearing a tactical exoskeleton and was holding a heavy Gatling gun in his hand!
"It's over!" Persephone's heart sank, the short assault rifle in her hand couldn't penetrate the opponent's armor, but the weapon in the opponent's hand could easily tear herself into pieces... and the most crucial point Yes, the effect of the stimulant is beginning to wear off, the strength is constantly flowing from her body, and the wounds on her waist and abdomen are starting to ache...

"Catch her!" The agent wearing the tactical exoskeleton ordered, he didn't directly open fire to kill Persephone - obviously, a living Persephone is far more important than a dead Persephone More valuable.

The other four agents quickly stepped up from both sides with their guns raised.

"..." Although the opponent did not kill her, the current situation is not much better. Persephone is very clear in her heart that if she falls into the opponent's hands, she might as well live happily. die.

In fact, she would always leave the last bullet in the magazine, and she kept that bullet for herself.

A series of short bursts knocked down one of the surrounding agents, and while the other three were looking for cover, Persephone turned around and ran—

"Bah!"

The gunshot rang out, and she only felt a sharp pain in the knee of her left leg. She lost her balance and fell heavily to the ground.

It's all over... She thought in her heart, do you regret it... She asked herself silently, and the figure of that guy appeared in her mind again... If you say you don't regret it, you must be lying... But , if I can see him one more time before I die, maybe it's not bad...

Anyway, sooner or later you will die... In this damn era...

Persephone struggled to turn the gun and pressed it against her chin. At this moment, a tall figure walked up to her and kicked away the gun in her hand——

Before Persephone could react, a deafening gunshot sounded above her head, and then a large number of scorching bullet casings fell on her back...

The gunfire subsided, and there was a muffled sound of a body falling to the ground behind him, and the tall figure bent down, picked her up from the ground, and carried her on his shoulders.

"I'm 0592, the master asked me to take you to the ground..." The voice of the other party was very strange, between a child who just learned to speak and a mechanically synthesized voice.

"Who is your master...?"

"I can't tell you, but we are not your enemy, we will send you to Qi Lin."

"Qi Lin...over there?" Persephone wanted to ask something more, but the side effects of the stimulant had already started to take effect, and the doubled exhaustion and sleepiness made her gradually lose consciousness...
