Chapter 463 asked the cat
Zeng Duo was startled, and instinctively retreated to the door and pulled out his gun with his backhand.
As a relic hunter who has been adventuring in the wasteland of the North Shore all year round, it is not that she has never seen aberrant creatures, but this is the first time in the original city.
Han Wanghuo's reaction was similar to hers, but not that big, because he saw that Xue Yuyue, Zhang Qubing and others were all in their previous state, and they were not panicked at all about what to do, and they didn't even want to take a second look.
"Meow~" The sleeping cat meowed again, lay down, and spread its body.
At this time, Jiang Baimian's heart moved, he put down the kitchen knife in his hand and walked to the balcony.
She squatted in front of the sleeping cat, thought about it for a few seconds, and greeted with a smile:
"You came back from the wasteland on the north bank?"
The sleeping cat glanced at her without making a sound.
"Which road did you take, didn't you meet the people of the 'First City'?" Jiang Baimian asked straight to the point.
She went from Sleeping Cat to the wasteland on the north bank freely, and saw the hope of the "old tune team" and Han Wanghuo and Zeng Duo leaving the original city.
"Meow." The sleeping cat replied.
"......" Jiang Baimian was stunned there, subconsciously piling up an embarrassed but polite smile.
Only then did she remember that she had no "skills" to communicate with feline creatures at all.
The sleeping cat's previous performance always made her intentionally or unintentionally ignore this problem.
Seeing this, Long Yuehong turned his head sideways to avoid laughing out loud, and after he turned his head, he saw Bai Chen pursing his lips tightly.
Shang Jianyao, who was playing the game, had a bright eye, ready to apply for a suspension and went over to help translate.
As for whether the translation is accurate or not, that's another matter.
At this time, Xiao Chong muttered:
"It said that he had just returned from the mountains on the north bank, and there were no people at the official level of the 'original city' on the road he took."
He can really translate...... But can a simple "meow" cover so many meanings? Jiang Baimian sighed silently, quickly looked at the sleeping cat, and asked:
"Can cars pass on that road?"
"Meow!" There was already a little more impatience in the sleeping cat's voice.
Xiao Chong helped reply while playing the game:
"Yes."
Jiang Baimian did not hide his joy, and asked calmly:
"Can you take us that way?"
"Meow!" The sleeping cat's meow becomes short.
"From six o'clock in the evening to six o'clock in the morning, you can choose your own time." Xiao Chong looked at the computer screen and said without looking back.
Hearing this, Long Yuehong, Bai Chen and others who came back to their senses had Jiang Baimian's doubts just now:
"You said so many things with a 'meow'? Is this cat language?
"Uh, the sleeping cat can really understand human language, Xiao Chong didn't help with two-way translation......"
At this time, Zeng Duo and Han Wanghuo also saw that Xiao Chong was not ordinary, and had a certain degree of understanding of Xue Shiyue's team coming to cook and clean in a dangerous situation.
"Then it's seven o'clock in the evening." Jiang Baimian pondered slightly and replied.
If it is later, there will be fewer pedestrians on the street, there will be fewer vehicles, and they are easy to attract attention, and before 7 o'clock, the summer sun has not completely set, and there is natural light.
This time, the sleeping cat did not make any more sounds and responded by yawning.
"It said, 'Okay, follow it then.'" Xiao Chong dutifully completed the translation work.
After confirming this matter, Jiang Baimian stood up.
She swept her eyes over Han Wanghuo and Zeng Duo, and said with a smile:
"You can't be idle either, tidy up your bedroom."
She deliberately didn't say, "If you are not feeling well, just rest next to me", but just arranged the easiest task for the two of them.
Han Wanghuo and Zeng Duo immediately agreed.
…………
When night fell, Narcis, the owner of the "virtual world", was still in the building next to the parking lot on the northwest side of Antana Street, but he changed from standing to sitting.
"Will the prophecy of the 'Enlightened One' be inaccurate?" In the room next to Narcis, the middle-aged and elderly gentleman Constance said hesitantly.
Theodore looked straight ahead with his eyes blank:
"Prophecies are always fulfilled in ways that none of the prophets can predict, so don't take them too seriously.
"Moreover, the prophecies of those monks often have only one vague hint, and it is normal for them to be misinterpreted."
Although if he could rely on the prophecy and catch Xue Shiyue and Zhang Qubing's team, the small mistakes Theodore had made before would definitely be exposed, but he still had something to say, and his expectations would not affect his judgment.
"It looks like I'm going to wait here until the early hours of the morning." Constance looked around, "Let's turn over the previous surveillance videos and take a look, maybe we can find the details that the prophecy really points to, we don't have much to do anyway."
After the prophecy "took over" the parking lot, the "Hand of Order" deployed materials and replaced all the broken cameras with intact ones.
"Okay." Theodore raised his hand and rubbed his eyes.
Always unable to roll his eyes made him easily tired of his eyesight.
At this moment, the wall-like sheriff Wall returned to the room from outside.
"How is it, have you gained anything from that line?" Constance asked.
Wall nodded:
"Now I can be sure that there is really something wrong with the person Xue Shiyue and Zhang Qubing saved on the street before.
"Judging from the feedback from all sides, he is suspected of being an intelligence officer of a certain force."
"Did you catch anyone?" Theodore perked up.
Wall sighed, shook his head and said:
"He appeared again this morning, and no one has seen him since then."
"It seems that he has been warned." Constance nodded slightly.
Wall turned to say:
"However, I found someone with whom I have a lot of connections and complex backgrounds.
"That person's name is Lao K, he has connections with several elders and nobles, ostensibly an import and export businessman, and has business dealings with the 'White Knights', 'United Industries', and 'Salvation Army'.
"The person Xue Shiyue and Zhang Qubing rescued was called Giuseppe, who was once Lao K's assistant and won his trust.
"Old K didn't think of a way to kill him?" Constance, who has been wandering in the circle of ladies all year round and has more taste the older he gets, joked with a smile.
Wall smiled:
"Why do you think Xue Shiyue and Zhang Qubing wanted to save him?
"Well, I'll find him out as soon as possible."
Constance nodded:
"If you can figure out which force he works for, the whole thing will be very clear."
Speaking of this, Constance glanced at Theodore, who was still observing the parking lot, raised his right hand and said:
"Let's eat something first, then watch the surveillance video, and wait for the guy who checked the source of the vehicle to come back, hey, I hope there will be some gains."
…………
At 7 p.m., the "old tune team" moved all the weapons and other materials to the car.
In order to show the calmness of themselves and others, they did not let Han Wanghuo and Zeng Duo separate, but let each other drive the dark black off-road, and just sent Gnawa over to help - otherwise, the jeep stuffed with all kinds of things would not be able to sit down.
Looking at the sleeping cat that sometimes trotted in the shadows on the street and sometimes walked on the top of the house, Jiang Baimian stepped on the accelerator and started the car.
She didn't let Bai Chen drive because on the next road, in order to avoid humans, the sleeping cat would definitely often move forward in invisible places on the street, and could only rely on bioelectric signal sensing and aberrant biological consciousness sensing to position.
Therefore, at present, she and Shang Jianyao can only take turns driving.
The two cars drove out of the Golden Wheat Ear Area and drove in the northeast direction.
Seeing this, Jiang Baimian breathed a sigh of relief, because she didn't know how far the temporary checkpoints of the "Hand of Order" were arranged, and she thought that going further to Antana Street and the factory area would pose a high risk of exposure.
In this way, they passed through the Red Giant Wolf Area and entered the Green Olive Area, and finally saw a familiar area under the light of the streetlights.
Westport!
The first city of Westport!
At this time, many ships were moored on the edge of the Red River, and warehouses and containers were crawling quietly in the dark, surrounded by port guards patrolling from time to time.
The sleeping cat jumped out of the shadows on the side of the road, took elegant steps, and carried its proud head towards Pier 1.
"Is the road it calls here?" Long Yuehong had such an idea flashing through his mind.
