Chapter 72 Frustration (Seeking Recommendation Votes)
Jiang Baimian glanced at Shang Jianyao and the others, and looked at Qiao Chu again:
"Where is that laboratory?"
Qiao Chu, who was wearing a helmet and couldn't see the expression on his face, didn't answer yet, and the desolate and hoarse roar resounded in the sky again:
"Whoa!"
This time, Shang Jianyao and the others could clearly hear that the roar came from not far away, just a few streets away behind the "Urban Smart Network Control Center".
It was so huge and loud that it made Shang Jianyao and the others' ears buzz, and their heads felt dizzy.
It seemed to come from the depths of everyone's heart, from the memory of fear that could not be dissolved, which made Long Yuehong's legs shake uncontrollably, making Bai Chen subconsciously tighten his scarf, as if he was about to strangle himself.
Jiang Baimian's body trembled slightly, as if he was using all his strength to fight that fear, Shang Jianyao's body shrank slightly, as if he was still a child.
However, he quickly returned to normal, no, not normal, he smiled and looked interested.
His mind seemed to skip the word "fear" and came to "excitement."
Of course, this was more because the hoarse and desolate huge roar had stopped, leaving only the sound and the roars of the ruins echoing endlessly.
At this time, Qiao Chu laughed low without any smile:
"That laboratory is where the sound came from just now."
Hearing this, Jiang Baimian and others were shocked and thought:
A mysterious laboratory with a loud roar...... From the destruction of the old world to the current hydropower station...... The ruins of the city are regularly maintained...... Some of the wires and equipment that can still be used today...... A cat-shaped monster that can force people to sleep...... A nightmare horse that can create real nightmares that can lead to all sorts of serious consequences...... It is suspected that there is a "High Mindless One", and there are some areas deep in the swamp where there is no radiation pollution but there are many monsters......
Together, the truth seems to be close and terrifying.
Jiang Baimian was frightened, but he was also a little excited.
This is one of the reasons why she formed the "Old Tune Group"!
"I don't know if the research in that laboratory is related to the destruction of the old world......" Jiang Baimian said to himself.
Qiao Chu ignored this question and stepped out of his legs covered with a black metal skeleton:
"It's time to turn on the electricity."
Jiang Baimian chased after him and asked quite quickly:
"Do you have a layout map here?"
"First go to the underground computer room to close the gate, restore the power supply to this building, and then go to the power grid center on the 17th floor to complete the power." Qiao Chu seems to have already figured out the situation of this "urban intelligent network control center".
Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and others didn't say more, and followed Qiao Chu, who was wearing an exoskeleton device, through the left side of the gate and entered the courtyard.
It is very spacious and green, and various abandoned cars are neatly parked in their corresponding positions, without blocking the road.
Clumps of dark green plants, tall or short, fluffy or messy, were scattered around, full of shadows, like monsters hiding in the dark, making Long Yuehong's already fearful body more and more tense, as if he would make stressful movements at any time.
In his own opinion, the team should not enter the "Urban Intelligent Network Control Center" at all, should not restore the power supply here, and try to open all the doors of the mysterious laboratory.
Not to mention whether this will bring a new round of disaster to the already fragile human society on the gray earth, Long Yuehong felt that it was impossible for her and others to withstand the danger contained in that mysterious laboratory and this strange ruin.
He didn't want to sacrifice at all, he didn't want to become an 80-month pension.
In front of the building where the "Urban Intelligent Network Control Center" is located, there is a pool with turbid water and a lot of debris floating in it, but it is not as much as imagined.
Under the faint moonlight and starlight, Long Yuehong suddenly saw a black shadow flashing in the water.
"There is something!" He aimed there with his Berserker assault rifle in horror.
Qiao Chu glanced back at him:
"An ordinary fish."
Long Yuehong breathed a sigh of relief, but the residual stimulation brought by it finally ignited the pent-up fear in his heart.
"No, it's not ordinary!" Don't the 'heartless' eat fish? Me, I don't want to go in! I give up! I'll go back to the jeep and wait for you!" He said all his thoughts in one breath.
At this moment, he actually felt that Qiao Chu was not so charming.
Qiao Chu, who was wearing a helmet, was stunned for a second, and then narrowed his eyes.
He silently raised his arm covering the exoskeleton device and aimed at Long Yuehong with the strangely shaped silver rifle.
Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen opened their mouths at the same time, ready to stop it, but they were a little hesitant, not knowing whether to take the step of doing it, and their hearts seemed to be in a fierce fight.
Qiao Chu didn't give them a chance to react and was about to pull the trigger.
Suddenly, he found that he couldn't pull his fingers back!
In addition, his fingers can move flexibly in any direction.
All he seems to be missing is the action of pulling the trigger!
Qiao Chu's gaze subconsciously passed over Long Yuehong and fell on Shang Jianyao who was a little further back.
Shang Jianyao's body was slightly bent, as if he was gasping for breath.
His eyes responded to Qiao Chu's gaze darkly, and he said with great difficulty but very seriously:
"My mother said that even if you like someone, you can't condone her bad habits."
…………
When Jiang Baimian fired a grenade at the "Sleeping Cat", creating a lot of explosion.
Somewhere in the ruins of the city, in a square with multiple sculptures.
The mechanical monk Jingfa, who was wearing a yellow monk's robe and a red robe, stopped the movement in his hand and looked back at the place where the sound came from.
In front of him were several tattered corpses of female "heartless ones".
Not long after, in the direction of the explosion, the roar that shook the sky sounded again.
As the red light in the electronic eyes flashed a few times, the mechanical monk Pure Fa gave up the surrounding corpses and strode towards the place where the sound came from.
…………
In the ruins of a dark city, on a certain street, in a certain house.
Du Heng, a middle-aged beautiful man wearing a dark black robe, long hair of the same color, and a ring of beard on his mouth, said to himself suspiciously:
"Not here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of the explosion came from not too far away.
Du Heng didn't react much to this, but soon, a desolate and hoarse roar also sounded in that direction.
"Is it over there?" Du Heng thought for a moment and walked to the stairs.
…………
In the ruins, in a shop on the street.
The blonde Taoist priest Galoran was lying on a very soft black leather back chair, drowsy.
Unfortunately, she couldn't fall asleep and was woken up by a series of explosions and roars.
"Hey, the cultivation is still not enough, Master can sleep peacefully next to the factory...... That's all, since you're awake, let's go with the flow, I don't know if I can meet a hitchhiker on the way......" Galolan blamed himself crepely.
Even when she talks to herself now, she uses gray language.
Then, Garolan got up slowly and walked towards the location where the roar was.
…………
On the other side of the ruins of the city, there was a square with many equipment.
A convoy of five cars is parked here.
Among those five vehicles, one was a gray-green armored vehicle.
Next to the armored vehicle, a middle-aged man wearing a gray-green beret looked at the harvest and nodded in satisfaction.
"Brother Li, it's only been a long time since we filled all the vehicles. Otherwise, brothers, look for vehicles that can still be driven and repaired, and strive for one for each person?" A man with a shaved head leaned over and said happily.
Lin Li, known as Brother Li, looked around, his eyes slowly swept over the faces of the twelve or thirteen core members, seeing the same joy and excitement of everyone.
His nose is very straight, his forehead is a little bulging, and his appearance is quite distinctive.
"It's okay." Lin Li nodded in agreement with the bald man's suggestion, "The main reason is that we haven't found a weapon that can effectively improve our strength this time, or technical data that can be exchanged for good things from the big forces. We have to prepare for the future, there must be a big force behind Black Rat Town, and we must deal with it before they figure out what happened."
He was about to add a few more words when explosions and roars sounded in the same direction one after another.
After listening quietly for a while, "Hyena" Lin Li smiled and said:
"It looks like something good over there.
"Let's go over and take a look, do it if we have the chance, and find something else if we don't have a chance."
This is the style of their bandit group, like a group of hyenas that smell carrion coming but do not risk approaching, only waiting for an opportunity in the distance.
"Yes, Brother Li!" His core members were about to take turns sleeping, and they all stood up energetically when they heard this.
…………
Hearing Shang Jianyao's words, the corners of Qiao Chu's mouth moved slightly.
It wasn't until this time that Long Yuehong realized that Qiao Chu wanted to kill her.
Suddenly, all the good things he had imagined fell apart at the same time, allowing him to truly return to "reality".
"He, he ......" Long Yuehong was horrified to find that Qiao Chu was not a companion at all, not a person worth following and having great charm.
Along the way, I was like lard blinded by my heart.
This is so weird!
Before Long Yuehong finished speaking, circles of illusory ripples appeared in Qiao Chu's golden eyes.
Jiang Baimian, who had decided to stop Qiao Chu, suddenly felt a strong sense of frustration:
He obviously wanted to take Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong out of the danger zone, but instead led them to the high-risk ruins; A field training that should have been ordinary has developed to this extent, which is the dereliction of duty of the team leader; The dream of the past had to be given up because of a mistake, and his body almost collapsed......
Forget about dying like this......
At this moment, Jiang Baimian was completely disheartened, gave up the struggle, and just wanted to wait for death.
Bai Chen, Long Yuehong and Shang Jianyao also had the same reaction, they were all so frustrated that they were unwilling to do anything or say even a word.
Qiao Chu didn't attack, but put away the silver rifle, his eyes were cold and his voice said gently:
"Don't worry, it's all over."
Long Yuehong and others, who are trapped in a dark and depressed world, seem to hear the comfort of angels.
