668 Wasteland Raider
The orange dust floated all over the sky, making the originally low visibility even lower. Lin Chi and Frankenstein looked at each other with the "Sasha" who had just been saved by them.
In the end, Sasha broke the silence again:
"Are you new prisoners?"
"That's right." Lin Chi nodded, and with the help of the radio wave communication instrument in the space suit, he talked to the black man in front of him who looked very "loyal": "How long have you been here?"
"It's been ten years." Sasha's answer was straightforward and did not sound like a lie.
"It seems that you are our senior." Lin Chi said with a smile.
——They just arrived in Mars and are still unfamiliar with the place, and it is even difficult to survive simply. If they can establish a good relationship with this "predecessor", they may be able to follow him to find the gathering place for criminals exiled to Mars, and they can get information about this planet even if they are not good.
Because of this, Lin Chi's attitude was also very good at this time, which was very different from his usual state of "killing this group of gangsters". Sasha, who had just been awakened by him, obviously also took this trick:
"Hehe, I don't dare to take it or not. It's you who saved me. I'm dead now without you..."
"Why did you faint?" Frankenstein's eyes bent out of dangerous curves, and his dark red eyes stared at Sasha's black-charcoal-like face.
"ah……"
Hearing Frankenstein's question, Sasha reached out and grabbed his helmet, as if he didn't want to answer this question, but after thinking about it, he still gave the answer:
"Actually... the reason why I am so weak is that I have been exiled by my own tribe."
"Has the exiles established a tribe on Mars?" Lin Chi asked immediately.
——No doubt, this is another important information that I have obtained in addition to the information from the "scientists".
"Yes, the climate in this ghost place is too terrifying. You can't survive by relying on one person or a few people. Only by getting together can you survive." Sasha nodded.
The living environment on Mars is indeed very harsh. Not only is the oxygen extremely thin, the animal and plant resources available for consumption are almost zero, and there is no flowing water source, and the temperature difference between the four seasons is extremely large.
Mars is far away from the sun, and the solar radiation energy it receives is only 43% of that of the earth. The average ground temperature is about 30 degrees Celsius lower than that of the earth, and the temperature difference between day and night can reach hundreds of degrees Celsius.
Because the atmosphere density of Mars is less than one percent of the Earth's atmosphere, the atmosphere cannot preserve heat at all. The temperature on the planet's surface is extremely low, rarely exceeding zero degrees Celsius. On nights on Mars, the lowest temperature can reach minus 123 degrees Celsius.
To survive at this temperature, it takes more than courage...
"How did you survive?" Lin Chi sighed.
"Scientists have established greenhouses and fixed bases on Mars. They were early scientists who came here to study. They were unable to return because the spacecraft was broken." Sasha patiently explained: "We picked up the waste materials they threw away, including some of which can be used to heat and devices that can make a small amount of oxygen."
"Will you not attack them?" Frankenstein waved his fist.
"Do you think we haven't thought about it?" Sasha sighed: "The equipment of the scientists is too strong. They even have guns on their hands. We only have garbage weapons such as iron sticks. When we meet them, we will be slaughtered!"
——So is the most powerful force on this planet a scientist trapped here?
After learning about this sarcastic fact, Lin Chi chuckled and continued to ask the NPC prisoner in front of him: "Did the scientists go to the wreckage of the crashed spacecraft to collect parts to repair their spacecraft?"
"Yes, scientists have always wanted to go back to Earth, but their spacecraft cannot start. They seem to be looking for a way to return. It may also be for something else... Who knows?" Sasha shook his head irritably.
After obtaining this talkable "database", Lin Chi and Frankenstein were about to continue asking, when they saw orange-red waves slowly coming from the sand in the distance.
"Oh no, the sandstorm is coming. We have to find a place to hide." Sasha said, turning around and rushing in the opposite direction of the sandstorm.
It is worthy of being an "old fried dough stick" who has lived on Mars for ten years. This person is moving fast on the sand dunes with one foot, at a much faster speed than Lin Chi and Frankenstein.
Seeing this scene, Lin Chi and Frankenstein began to imitate his movements. Although he jumped around was funny, the movement speed was improved.
"The atmosphere of Mars is so thin, and the sandstorm is not powerful, right?" Lin Chi turned around and looked at the sand wall behind him.
Unlike the giant sandstorm that can kill people on Earth, Mars' atmosphere is very thin and its air pressure is much smaller. The wind power and wind speed are completely incomparable to the super typhoons on Earth. It should not be any threat to humans wearing protective clothing.
"The destructive power is not great, but the solar cells cannot be used. This is one of our main sources of energy!" Sasha's voice sounded very anxious: "Aren't you two carrying solar panels? Tie that thing tightly and don't be blown away!"
"I understand." Lin Chi said, tied the "turtle shell" behind him tighter.
Wind energy on Mars is not reliable, water energy is almost zero, thermal power generation consumes scarce oxygen, and relying solely on prisoners to develop advanced energy such as nuclear energy is simply nonsense. So after thinking about it... these guys seem to be able to use solar energy.
The spacecraft carrying prisoners flew over are basically equipped with solar panels. Although the energy generated by the panels is pitifully small, it is better than not.
It can be imagined that the huge sandstorm that covers the sky and the sun on Mars is undoubtedly a real disaster for criminals who only have solar energy!
"Run!"
The Sashatus said this, but his feet were still moving forward using the two legs to rotate and jump. The three of them jumped around in the desert, like three stupid kangaroos.
Ten minutes later, seeing that the sandstorm did not spread in this direction, but went to the other side, Sasha finally sat on the sand with relief and said breathlessly: "Okay..."
"What are you going to do next?" Lin Chi stared at the other party curiously.
Sasha, who was exiled by the criminal tribe, only carried basic living equipment. According to his movement range, he didn't know when he would have insufficient oxygen. He seemed to have no food or water.
If this continues, the exiled prisoner will definitely die in front of Lin Chi and Frankenstein. However, judging from the appearance of this guy, he should have thought of a solution.
As expected, the flesh on Sasha's face frowned, and he squeezed out a ferocious expression and said, "Of course I'm going back and grab it!"
"You mean, go back to the tribe that exiled you?" Lin Chi frowned.
"Yes, they are still in the sandstorm range, so they should have powered off." Sasha said gritting his teeth, as if he was planning to kill the other party: "That's a small tribe, and robbing them now is the right way!"
——So this is the reason why you betray your tribe members?
Lin Chi was about to complain, but saw a task prompt popping up:
Start the mission: Tribal massacre.
Sasha, who was exiled by the tribe, asked you to assist him and plunder the tribe that had exiled him.
Mission Rewards: Available life-saving equipment, food and drinking water.
...
After seeing the mission reward, Lin Chi nodded immediately and said, "Get up."
Although he had not yet figured out the combat effectiveness of the tribe composed of the criminals, this kind of mission reward was really hard to refuse. Because of this, he accepted the mission without hesitation and joined Sasha's "robbery camp".
"Find a place to store the battery panels, and come with me." Sasha said, walking back towards the sandstorm without looking back.
Lin Chi and Frankenstein stuffed the panels that were absorbing solar energy behind them into their backpack, then looked at each other and exchanged meaningful eyes:
——After completing the task, he did it.
——I think so too.
On this point, the two have very consistent views, and they just confirm the next course of action with their eyes.
Although he looks very honest, there will naturally be no kind person in charge who was exiled to Mars. This guy who claims to be Sasha can tell at a glance that he is not a good bird. If he helps him successfully rob, he may bite him back. Killing this guy before that is the right choice.
"Come here quickly!" Sasha's voice sounded from his headphones: "Have you put the panels in place? It's inconvenient to fight with the panels."
"Okay." Lin Chi said and followed immediately.
According to the situation described by Sasha, the criminals exiled to Mars did not have any decent weapons, and at most they only had various melee weapons, and long-range guns were all in the hands of "scientists".
If this is true, it shouldn't be too difficult for players with guns in their backpacks to kill the criminals here.
——Let’s see the situation first…
Lin Chi knows that things are obviously not that simple in the game "War Paradise". It should be impossible for players to easily massacre Martian NPCs.
Even if there is no gun in your hand, the vicious criminals will definitely develop other ways of fighting.
While thinking, Sasha's voice sounded from his headphones, disturbing Lin Chi's thoughts:
"Let's go down quickly, the raider is here!"
Before he finished speaking, Sasha, who was still jumping forward before, fell to the ground instantly as if he was dead. Lin Chi and Frankenstein also lie on the ground suddenly, and orange sand quickly covered their space suits and created natural armor.
A particularly huge figure appeared in the sand and dust in front of him. Although it was just a contour, Lin Chi could also see that the other party was at least three meters tall, and the outline of his arms was not like that of a human, and there were many mechanical parts on his arms.
Then, in Lin Chi's blurred vision, extremely clear prompt text appeared:
"Wilderness Raider", a hero-level NPC, cannot be recruited.
Is this so-called plunderer a similar existence to a wild boss?
Lin Chi was thinking, and saw the other party's huge body breaking through the sandstorm and rushing out. The "giant" who had just been hidden in the sand and dust finally showed his terrifying true body:
The guy was wearing a set of cobalt blue power armor, and his helmet was hemispherical in shape trapped at the front of the armor. His chest and shoulders were sprayed with skull patterns, with the words "MARINE" written below.
The arms of this large power armor are equipped with drill bits and circular saws, and linear white light flashes under the helmet, as if scanning nearby.
"Damn it, didn't you say that the criminals of the tribe have no combat power?" Lin Chi cursed.
"The raiders are different. They are wearing Martian Marine armor seized from scientists. A few years ago, my tribe ambushed the scientist in the wild, but more than 200 people died before killing the scientist who was wearing the landing armor and mining in the wild. Then they handed the Marine armor to our patriarch..."
Speaking of this, Sasha has begun to retreat again: "You guys hold on, I'll leave first."
"Hello……"
Lin Chi was about to call the other party, but a noise suddenly mingled in the communication, and the roar with its own subwoofer effect sounded from the headphones, shaking the eardrums of everyone present:
"Sasha, you actually have an affair with the patriarch's wife... You must die today!"
"Damn, aren't you exiled?" Lin Chi looked at the escaped black man in surprise.
——Although he had known that this guy would cheat him, he didn’t expect that he would cheat so quickly. This guy who claimed to be an exiled by the tribe turned out to be a guy like “The Old King next door”.
In this way, Sasha was not exiled, but ran out and then fell into the sand. Now, the reason why this guy fainted due to weakness seems to be explained...
"Friends, I'll leave it to you!" Sasha shouted and jumped backwards.
Although Lin Chi and Frankenstein were also retreating, the Raiders were obviously much faster than they were. The thruster jet nozzle behind the Marine Corps armor burst out with blue and white flames, pushing the armor to rush towards the two of them in a way that was flying against the ground.
"Die, Sasha's accomplice." The ravenous roar of the raiders came into the ears through the ears.
Obviously, this big guy also received the news from Sasha just now, and he has identified Lin Chi and Frankenstein as enemies!
So, there is only one choice left:
"Kill him."
While Lin Chi was speaking, he took out multiple grenade launchers from his backpack and bombarded the raiders in an endless stream. The cobalt blue armor that was rushing towards him suddenly disappeared into the fog of the explosion.
The sound insulation performance of the space suit is very good, completely isolated from the roar of the grenade explosion. However, the few grenades that hit the body only delayed for less than two seconds. The raider quickly broke through the smoke and rushed over. Except for a few more black spots on the armor, he was not injured at all!
——Is it so hard?
Before Lin Chi could put away the grenade launcher, he saw the plunderer wearing Marines' power armor rushing to the front, and the circular saw in his right hand was turning wildly towards the head of his space suit.
Chapter completed!
