I became a member of the ancient gods

Chapter 16 Securing Transportation

In the middle of the contaminated area, near the entrance of Fran's lair.

Lin Zhong stood in front of a dug pit, checking his equipment.

He was wearing a power protective suit, carrying a shotgun on his back, a pistol on his waist, and plenty of magazines and grenades.

Just yesterday when he was resurrected, he only had two small pistols, but now he is fully armed.

These equipments were obtained from Fran. After reading Li Suling's notes, Lin finally understood the fact that Li Suling's team and the apostle died together.

At that time, he realized that the bodies and equipment of Li Suling's investigation team were left in this lair.

He mentioned these things to Fran, and finally learned that those corpses had been thrown directly into the valley some distance away by Fran - probably because of the remaining human consciousness, Fran seemed to have no idea about treating humans as food. Somewhat contradictory.

As for the equipment, the protective clothing was also discarded along with the corpse. Only a small amount of scattered equipment was collected by Fran and buried near the lair.

Lin finally dug out these things and temporarily selected some of them that could be used.

The last thing he picked up was a small buckler, made of metal and painted gray-black on the surface.

When it was first dug out, Lin Zhong's detector reacted to this thing. The detector sensed the energy response of an adult-level abyssal creature from the shield, and marked it with a yellow outline on the display interface.

This is a relic from the abyss, but it is not an antique from the Abyss civilization, but a mass-produced imitation of the military industrial research institute of the coalition government. There is also the production number of the military industrial research institute on the back. It is probably the equipment carried by one of the main guards of Li Suling's team. .

Lin finally recognized this piece of equipment, having used it before when he was a newcomer.

The "Guardian" shield, a second-level abyssal relic, can project an energy shield directly in front of the shield that is enough to withstand ordinary bullets and grenade explosions without causing any reaction to the holder. It is the only way for humans to extract abyssal creatures. Special weapons made with strength.

With the technology currently mastered by the coalition government, it can only independently produce first- and second-level relics. Currently, third- and fourth-level relics can only be picked up ready-made from relics.

In the eyes of abyss hunters, the abilities of many abyss creatures are so weird that they can be called magic.The Abyss Relic can be said to be a magical prop that uses magic to fight magic.

Lin Zhong is a lighthouse-level hunter who can skillfully use third-level relics. He actually doesn't like a second-level abyssal relic.

But now having such a thing in hand is better than nothing. Lin Zhi picked up the shield, grasped the handle and tried to open it.

Suddenly, a strong nausea invaded him without warning. At the same time, his hand felt like an electric shock, and a spasm-like pain passed through him.

He reflexively let go of the shield and retracted his hand. The shield fell to the ground with a "choking" sound, and the painful feeling subsided.

He looked at the dropped shield on the ground in confusion.

Abyssal relics have side effects when first used, such as dizziness, headache, nosebleeds, hallucinations... They are basically similar to the symptoms of being infected with gray fog, and you will gradually adapt to them after repeated use.

I am now able to control even third-level relics skillfully. How can I not be able to hold a second-level relic?

Even an ordinary person who has no abyss adaptability at all would not react so violently.

At this time, Fran, who had been watching with folded arms, said, "Don't touch that thing, it's going to hurt."

"You can't use it either?" Lin Zhong looked at Fran in a daze, suddenly understanding what was going on.

Abyssal relics have a characteristic. Although they possess the special power of abyssal creatures, they will repel abyssal creatures and can only be used normally by humans.

This seems to be an insurance set by the technology of the Abyss civilization, and the coalition government has mastered this technology and kept it as a secret.

Lin Zhong, who had the heart of a stealth worm transplanted, and Fran, who was born from the fusion of humans and apostles, seemed unable to pass the judgment of abyssal relics.

This is trouble.

Lin Zhong's brows suddenly knitted together.

Not being able to use the relics of the abyss means that his personal combat capabilities will be greatly reduced.

Xu Zhongyi is also a lighthouse-level hunter. He can use third-level abyssal relics. The power of a third-level abyssal relic is comparable to that of an upper-level adult-level abyssal creature.

Should he really use Fulan to deal with that couple of dogs?
Lin Zhong shook his head in his heart.

As a last resort, he still prefers to kill his enemies with his own hands, especially Xu Zhongyi. Revenge always feels like a pointless thing if he doesn't do it himself.

"I said it's about the same." Fran's impatient voice came, interrupting his thinking, "Hurry up! I don't understand what you are doing with these weapons! If I go with you, there is nothing around here. By threatening you, are you trying to protect yourself from me?"

"No, these things can't kill you." Lin finally looked towards her.

"It's good to know." Fran hummed.

"With these equipment, I have some ability to protect myself. You don't want to carry around a burden that needs to be protected all the time, right? Okay, where is the car?"

Lin Zhi motioned to Fran to lead the way and ignored the abyssal relics on the ground.

"This way." Fran led Lin Zhong towards the northeast.

They left the lair this time to find the car used by Li Suling's team.

This is the deep layer of the abyss, the middle ring area. Considering the space distortion inside the abyss, to leave the abyss from here, you have to travel at least [-] kilometers.

Considering the terrain inside the abyss and the monsters that appear everywhere, it would be impossible to get out in less than ten days and half a month by just walking on two feet.

After learning about what happened to Li Suling's scientific expedition team four years ago, Lin Zhong immediately thought that Li Suling's team should also have at least one car.

He asked Fran if there was any suspicious object nearby, and got a positive reply immediately.

Today, he was here to ensure transportation out of the abyss.

"Well, this is it."

Fran finally brought Lin Zhi to a sparse grove and pointed at a "little dirt bag".

Through the faint gray fog, Lin Zhong recognized that this was a floating off-road vehicle. The surface was covered with dust and mud, and vines and moss were crawling everywhere.

Lin finally took out a remote control car key, which was found in Li Suling's password box.

With some prayers, Lin finally pressed on the off-road vehicle.

After being abandoned for four years in such a harsh environment, no one can guarantee that the car will still work normally.

The off-road vehicle suddenly turned on its lights.

"Okay!" Lin Zhong was overjoyed. He immediately put down his equipment and turned to Fran, "Here you go, let's clean up the car."

"Do I want to come too?" Fran obviously didn't particularly want to do this kind of chore.

"Don't you want to go with us? I only have two hands. You have eight hands including the tentacles. You also bring your own tools. This must be more efficient than me... Hey, you are joking, don't poke me with that thing. !!”

Lin Zhi raised his hand, desperately trying to dissuade Fran from aiming the scalpel tentacle at him.
