I became a member of the ancient gods

Chapter 72
The helicopter flew straight over the desolate land, and the abandoned cities, villages, and countryside were shrouded in mist.

Lin Zhong was still a little excited about flying for the first time at first, but he soon got tired of seeing this scene. Everything was lifeless, and not a single figure or vehicle could be seen. Only once did he vaguely see a head of four people. Creeping creatures of the abyss wander aimlessly in the wilderness.

But Fran seemed relatively fresh and kept staring out the window.

"Bro, you rarely come outside the sanctuary, right?" Faceless was still chatting with him enthusiastically.

At first, Lin Zhong was worried that he was distracted while driving and didn't really want to talk to him. However, later he found that the other person was driving quite skillfully and he was indeed a little bored, so he started chatting: "When the [-]th District was first established, I I moved in. I was not yet ten years old at the time. I came out of the refuge area after becoming a hunter, but basically I just took the official road and drove directly to the polluted area to work. I never went to places like deserted cities. .”

His previous life was basically a two-point line between the sanctuary and the contaminated area. These days, there is a no-go zone outside the sanctuary. The residents of the sanctuary will not want to leave the sanctuary unless necessary, let alone deal with those wilderness travelers. .

"I spent my childhood in a shelter. I'm so lucky. I'm so jealous. The washboard behind me and I are both orphans in the wilderness." Wu Mian said.

"You don't count. Your biological parents are not necessarily dead. They just sold you because they couldn't afford to support me. My parents really died early." Axia interrupted.

"That can be considered as losing your parents, and I remember that you seemed to be adopted very quickly, right?" Wu Mian said.

"I also heard that you seem to have been adopted by an infected person?" Lin Zhong also spoke to A-Xia.

"Well, I recognized a sister back then who was an infected person. She died later, and there was nothing to say." Axia looked out the window, as if she was reminded of some bad memories.

"I had a much more rough life. I was sold by human traffickers to a group of warlords and trained as a boy scout. Later I stole weapons and escaped and made a living in the deserted city." Wu Mian continued to tell about his past.

"I remember, didn't Axia say you have an adoptive mother?" Lin Zhi asked.

"I met my old woman after that. There was a fight between two groups in the deserted city. At that time, after the battle, I went to pick up things from the corpse. Her own son was also involved in the fire and died. She was in a trance when she saw I was digging through the corpse of a woman. I thought I had just lost my mother. Somehow she talked to me and asked me to call her mom and raise me as my son. I thought to myself that such a good thing could happen? I recognized it on the spot. Got it!"

Faceless said that the tone of this heavy topic was still frivolous and playful as always, as if he was gossiping about other people's past.

What kind of competition is this?Lin Zhong thought to himself.

"How is your family situation, Bro?" Wu Mian looked at Lin Zhong.

"My whole family is happy, thank you." Lin Zhong replied expressionlessly, "Both my parents died of illness a few years ago. Although they are only over 50, their life spans are quite acceptable these days. I became a hunter. After that, let them enjoy a few years of happiness."

Compared with Faceless and Axia, his past is a bit lackluster. Although he was born in a chaotic era, his parents, each with their own skills, still ensured his most basic survival. As soon as No. 18 Asylum was established, his parents secured residence. Conditions, their life has been quite stable since then.

"Haha, bro, your mediocre experience cannot be the protagonist in the story. It's no wonder that A-Xia always said that you were a young man born in a greenhouse." Wu Mian laughed.

"Don't say anything that affects unity. If you weren't flying a plane, I would definitely give you a stick!" Axia scolded.

"There's nothing wrong with living in a greenhouse. Who would want to go outside when you can stay in a shelter these days?" Lin Zhong said.

"But, there is always a feeling of escaping reality. The world outside is still in such a miserable state. If the crisis outside is not solved, civilization will never recover. Bro, you are also a veteran-level abyss hunter. What does the Exploration Association say? Are you here? To give mankind the courage to explore and the dawn of hope for civilization? You abyss hunters are the spark to rebuild human civilization!"

Wu Mian suddenly said in a teasing tone.

"It's just that this job makes money quickly." Lin Zhi smiled, "Besides, what do you expect me, a lighthouse-level goalkeeper, to do? Isn't there a Dawn-level one behind you?"

"Don't, it's probably hopeless to count on this bad-tempered washboard human being." Wu Mian sighed.

"I don't know about other humans. You are probably really hopeless." Axia replied.

As they chatted, time passed quickly, and the navigation system on the center console began to indicate that the destination was approaching. Lin finally looked around and soon discovered the service car located on the side of the road in the distance. A base renovated in the area.

"It seems that the base is operating normally." Maskless inspected the entrance and exit of the base with a masked telescope. A truck happened to be parked at the entrance. Two people were guarding the entrance and exit, and four people were carrying goods back and forth.

"Weird." Fran said suddenly.

"What?" Lin Zhong asked.

"The faces and body features of these six people have not appeared in the previously read memories." Fran said.

Lin Zhi picked up the binoculars and looked around. At this time, someone at the entrance finally noticed the approaching helicopter. He suddenly waved to his companions in an exaggerated way, and then pointed this way.

The two guards guarding the door noticed the situation and nervously picked up their rifles.

This atmosphere couldn't help but make Lin Zhong a little surprised. Irene should have contacted this base in advance to receive the kidnapped hostages, but the reaction of these people seemed extremely surprised.

"Something's not quite right." Axia also became alert.

At this time, the helicopter control console received a communication message: "The helicopter over there, please land in the designated area for inspection as soon as possible. Repeat, please land as soon as possible for inspection."

At the same time, one of the guards at the door held a walkie-talkie, and another began to wave a signal flag this way, pointing to an open space.

"Want to go there?" Wu Xiang asked Lin Zhong for instructions.

"Keep your distance and observe first!" Lin Zhong also felt a little strange and couldn't help but hesitate.

A few seconds passed, and the helicopter suddenly began to descend. Wu Mian reached out and continued to operate on the control panel.

"Why did you suddenly start landing?" Lin Zhong glared at him.

"It's not me! It was the autopilot system that suddenly started to make an emergency landing, and I was trying to turn it off!" Faceless' voice became urgent, "It can't be turned off! Damn it, the system has been invaded!!"

At the same time, an armed force poured out from the entrance and exit of the base and began to surround the helicopter.
