Chapter 67 City at Night (Recommendation Ticket Requested)
After taking the remaining food, a group of five left room 605 and went down the stairs to the first floor.
"Drive there?" Jiang Baimian glanced at the jeep parked on the side.
The skin of the black swamp iron snake tied to the roof of the car is so conspicuous that no one pays attention to the solar charging panel.
"There is too much movement." Qiao Chu shook his head.
Jiang Baimian originally wanted to say that this was an electric car, as long as the simulated sound wave was turned off, there would hardly be much movement, but Qiao Chu, who was wearing an exoskeleton device, suddenly trotted up and left a sentence:
"Keep up!"
Jiang Baimian didn't say anything more, and together with Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen, they held their respective weapons and ran to the exit in small steps.
At this time, there were many clouds in the sky, and only a few sparse stars could be seen, while the moon occasionally showed a little face, casting a faint glow.
Darkness is the dominant color of the ruins of this city.
In the extremely quiet and dead silent environment, Shang Jianyao and the others did not turn on the flashlight, trotting through the main road and entering the opposite street.
During this process, they always felt like they were about to be swallowed up by the dark night, and the surrounding abandoned cars and roadside trees were full of shadows, like monsters hiding in the dark.
Faced with such a scene, the "old tune group" naturally spread out in formation according to their usual training and pulled out a certain distance.
Among them, Jiang Baimian followed closely behind Qiao Chu, Long Yuehong was on the right, Bai Chen was on the left, and Shang Jianyao was dragged at the end.
Their speed is always kept within a certain range, so as not to neglect the observation and vigilance of the surrounding environment because of running.
While running, Shang Jianyao suddenly changed direction and rushed diagonally into an open room on the left side of the street.
Jiang Baimian and others reacted to stress, rolled on the spot, and each found an abandoned car to build fortifications.
Qiao Chu also stopped, turned to look at Shang Jianyao.
The exoskeleton device's "integrated warning system" told him that there was nothing unusual around.
However, he still raised the silver rifle with a rather unique shape to guard against accidents.
He immediately used the "Integrated Early Warning System" to observe the destination of the business.
Although it was a very dim night, Qiao Chu had auxiliary equipment, and he could easily see the situation on the street on the left side from a long distance.
It was the same as the other streets, with side-by-side, outward-facing rooms almost all open, either dilapidated or unusually old, and the only thing in common was that no life was visible.
Some of their signs fell to the ground and broke into several pieces, some were mottled and faded, the handwriting was blurred, some were missing, and only part remained, and some hung diagonally, and they would not fall.
And the room that Shang Jianyao rushed into, the sign was still hanging above, with blue as the background, and only two white characters remained:
「…… Maintenance ......"
At this time, Shang Jianyao had taken off the flashlight and shone it around in the narrow room.
He quickly opened various cabinets and found some small instruments and tools, along with various components and wiring with and without packaging, and stuffed them into the camouflage backpack.
After putting on his backpack again and hanging up the flashlight, Shang Jianyao trotted back to the street with the "Berserker" assault rifle.
Seeing this, Qiao Chu, who was wearing a helmet, strode over.
In his experience, once he "follows" him, unless he shows the intention to take the initiative to attack, no one will make his own decisions and will definitely do what he instructs.
At this point, Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen behaved "normally" enough.
In front of Shang Jianyao, Qiao Chu asked in a deep voice:
"Why did you leave the team without permission?"
Shang Jianyao replied calmly:
"Brain twitching."
"......" Qiao Chu's eyes narrowed, and on the goggles, Shang Jianyao's figure instantly appeared in a relatively abstract state, close to the target.
This is the "precision aiming system" that is naturally activated in response to his action of raising the silver rifle.
After a few seconds of silence, Qiao Chu exhaled slowly and lowered the muzzle:
"Continue to your destination."
Although his voice was not loud, Jiang Baimian and others had been paying attention to the situation here, and quickly left the hiding place and returned to the team.
The five of them once again followed the formation and posture just now, and ran towards the three-way intersection at the end of the street.
In the ruins of this city, the wind at night was a little cold, blowing Long Yuehong as if he had returned to the "Pangu creature" and returned to after the lights were turned off.
When he was about to turn to the left road, he couldn't help but look up and look at the sky.
Since coming to the surface, his first wish is to see the real sky, his second greatest wish is to see the sun that shines on everything, and his third wish is to see the starry sky shown in textbooks.
Now, he has fulfilled his first and second wishes, but only the third wish has not been fulfilled.
——The weather has been abnormal for a long time recently, the nights are always cloudy, and only a few stars and part of the moon can be seen occasionally, which is not called a starry sky at all.
I don't know when I will see the real stars...... As soon as Long Yuehong retracted her gaze, she saw Qiao Chu and Jiang Baimian raise their hands sideways almost at the same time, aimed at a place, and pulled the trigger.
The only difference is that Jiang Baimian drew "United 202" first and did not use a grenade gun.
Syllable! Bang!
Two slightly different voices sounded one after another.
With a flash of silver and white lightning, in the middle of the street on the right, on a street tree, a figure with tattered clothes and bare parts fell straight down, smashing on the top of the abandoned car.
His blood quickly spread out.
The crude shotgun bullet he was holding flew out and landed on the road.
"A 'heartless person'." Jiang Baimian held the grenade gun steadily with only his left arm.
Her night vision ability is obviously stronger than that of ordinary people.
Bai Chen subconsciously asked:
"Do you want to pick up that gun?"
"I don't need a gun, that gun looks like some wilderness wanderer settlements made it themselves, it's not necessary." Jiang Baimian shook his head.
The Old World has been destroyed for many years, many guns are no longer usable, many sizes of bullets have been exhausted, and the major forces with a certain production capacity have gradually started internal standardization in recent decades after initially imitating Old World weapons to maximize the use of materials.
As a result, many ruin hunters and wilderness wanderers have either broken and cannot be repaired, or they slowly cannot find suitable bullets, so they have to increase their search for ruins on the one hand, or buy arms smuggled by large forces, and try to make homemade weapons and bullets on the other hand.
Among the latter, the shotgun is undoubtedly a great choice, and the equipment required is fairly simple and is found in many wilderness wanderer settlements.
Such a shotgun falls into the hands of the "heartless", indicating that it is likely that a relic hunter or a wild wanderer has been hunted.
"Do you want to search your body?" Bai Chen asked again.
"No." Qiao Chu, who had just used the exoskeleton device electromagnetic weapon, replied as he turned his body.
Bai Chen no longer insisted, and the group of five continued to trot towards the predetermined destination.
After turning another street, Qiao Chu suddenly slowed down.
Jiang Baimian also raised his hand and pressed down, signaling Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong to stop.
Through the moonlight, which was a little brighter than just now, Shang Jianyao saw a gray black abandoned car in front of him.
Next to the car, there was a person sitting on the ground.
This person had a Zhang Guozi face, wearing a so-called old-world formal suit, his upper body leaning against the car door, his eyes were closed, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
"Wu Shoushi ......" Jiang Baimian recognized the man.
This is the relic hunter they have encountered in the wilderness before.
——The other party and his companions told the "old tune team" about the discovery of new ruins north of Yuelu Station.
At this moment, Wu Shoushi was the only one on his own, and his life and death were unknown.
"There are signs of life." Jiang Baimian made a judgment based on the electrical signals he sensed.
Qiao Chu observed for a while, and then said:
"He's sleeping."
Hearing the word "sleep", Jiang Baimian's pupils dilated slightly, and he quickly raised his right hand to shoot at Wu Shoushi's location.
However, she was not aiming at people, but car glass.
At this moment, Shang Jianyao had already taken the lead and fired a short burst shot at the car that Wu Shoushi was leaning on.
In the sound of the bang, a glass window was shattered directly.
Wu Shoushi's eyes moved slightly, as if he was about to wake up, but at this time, his expression suddenly distorted, his whole body twitched twice, and he completely lost his movement.
"Is he dead?" Long Yuehong asked in astonishment.
"Theoretically, there is still a chance to be rescued......" Jiang Baimian said so, but she had no idea of stepping forward at all, and at the same time, she moved to an abandoned car while guarding her surroundings.
Bai Chen did the same, and reminded aloud:
"That terrifying nightmare horse may have returned."
Long Yuehong was startled and tried to keep her eyes wide open to keep herself from falling asleep.
Qiao Chu didn't speak, using the "Comprehensive Early Warning System" to focus on finding possible "enemies" around him.
Shang Jianyao looked at Wu Shoushi in front of him, and suddenly spoke:
"Will you sleep on the street? Although I will ......."
"That nightmare horse can force people to sleep?" Jiang Baimian instantly understood what Shang Jianyao wanted to express, "However, when we encountered it before, it didn't show this."
After she and Shang Jianyao woke up from the real nightmare, they no longer fell asleep inexplicably.
"Either it can only put one person to sleep at a time, and when faced with a large number of targets, it will choose to give up, or ......" Shang Jianyao looked up at Qiao Chu who was wearing an exoskeleton device.
Qiao Chu faced the nightmare horse alone before, and he has survived to the present.
Shang Jianyao paused for a moment and then said:
"Either there are other monsters here, monsters that can force people to sleep."
Hearing this, Long Yuehong's body felt cold for a while, only to feel that there were many things hidden in the surrounding darkness.
"I'll go see if I can still save it, you pay attention to my situation." Immediately afterwards, Shang Jianyao walked towards Wu Shoushi with an upright bait attitude.
He had just taken two steps forward when a desolate and hoarse roar suddenly sounded somewhere in the ruins of the city:
"Whoa!"
This sound resounded through the sky, making people tremble.
