Davis also didn't want to talk about the danger that he and others were bringing to the entire camp.
Although their team was very strong, they even dared to go to the ruins of Scarlet Wasteland No. 9, and they could still retreat with their bodies, but they couldn't withstand the large number of hunters around them.
At this time, Davis had shaken off the effects of forgetfulness and recalled:
"That necklace was found on the Upper East Side of Ruins No. 9."
"Upper East Side?" Shang Jianyao suppressed the loss of not being able to walk upside down and asked questions cooperatively.
Davis replied simply:
"The city map found in the ruins is marked by many people who have explored it and think it is more dangerous."
"But the harvest will also be great?" Jiang Baimian pulled the topic back on track without a trace.
Davis nodded:
"Indeed.
"We found an apartment on the Upper East Side that had not been set foot by hunters before, and in the room on the left side of the eleventh floor, there were several corpses, either leaning on the sofa or lying on the bedroom bed, their flesh and blood completely rotting and evaporating, leaving only bones.
"The necklace was placed in front of the corpse on the sofa."
"Why are you sure that the flesh of those corpses decayed and evaporated by itself, rather than being eaten by the 'heartless'?" The honest business saw Yao dutifully looking for loopholes.
Davis glanced at him and said in a slightly stiff tone:
"As an experienced relic hunter, these are two situations that can be distinguished at a glance.
"First, the clothes of those corpses are only a little decayed, relatively intact, and have not been torn; Second, there was no trace of blood splattering in the entire room......"
Suddenly, Jiang Baimian interjected:
"So, what is the cause of death of those corpses?"
In this case, there is a high probability that city residents will die because of being attacked by "heartless people", and a small part of the reason is that they were poisoned by their own kind in the process of fighting for food.
"I think it's suicide." Davis replied.
He obviously considered this issue at the time and said it clearly:
"The door lock of that room has not been broken before, and it is tightly locked, unlike outsiders have ever entered.
"The postures of several corpses are not so distorted......
"I suspect that the few people in the room wanted to go out to find food, but found that there were 'heartless people' everywhere, so they had to shrink back.
"Have you checked the refrigerator and freezer?" Jiang Baimian asked.
Davis's expression was a little confused at first, and then changed significantly, and he looked sideways at his companions.
His companions also showed fear and trepidation, as if they remembered something terrible.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Davis said with a blank look in his eyes:
"There are still a lot of boxed beef ...... frozen in the large-capacity freezer in the room."
This means that the dead did not collapse from hunger.
Jiang Baimian said:
"If they are a family, facing the destruction of the old world, their emotions are completely broken, and they try to commit suicide, they should get together and be with each other, not in one place."
"Yes." Shang Jianyao deeply agreed.
"The most important thing is that we have been ignoring the freezer situation...... As soon as we entered that room, we were affected by the necklace?" Davis whispered in fear.
In the end, they chose to take the necklace with the cross pendant, as if they were possessed by an evil spirit.
It's not surprising that something wacky happens near the nodes of the "New World"...... Jiang Baimian looked around and found that the surrounding relic hunters had been attracted by this story and briefly forgot about the previous anomaly.
On the one hand, they were on guard, and on the other hand, they were curious about what would happen next.
Jiang Baimian lived up to expectations and asked a question that most people wanted to know:
"What else do you gain in that room?"
Davis and several of his companions did not dare to answer directly, clearly lacking confidence in their memories.
After thinking about it carefully for a while and pondering the details, Davis spoke:
"As in normal exploration, I took away relatively valuable gold, portable electronic items, books with practical knowledge, and clothing that was not seriously deteriorated......"
In the current era, although most of the electronic items in the urban ruins are damaged and cannot be used, they can still be found by taking them apart and picking and choosing, and you can still find some barely intact electronic components, which are relatively valuable.
Moreover, some electronic items may still be usable after repairing, and some even if all the electronic components are broken, there is no shortage of market for selling them as scrap, after all, these highly crystallized products of old world technology contain precious metals, including some alloys that few forces can imitate today.
As he spoke, Davis made a clever move:
"We also took the phone from the bone.
"The bones of that necklace are placed in front of me."
"Is your phone still there?" Jiang Baimian tried hard not to let his eyes light up.
Davis nodded:
"We plan to bring back the original city to trade."
"Can you sell it to us?" Jiang Baimian smiled.
She did not choose to intimidate, deceive, deceive, etc., after all, in front of so many people, she had to pay attention to her appearance.
Seeing that Davis was a little hesitant, Shang Jianyao said earnestly:
"You should have found out, we have experience in dealing with things like this.
"To be honest, this kind of thing is far more dangerous than you think, it is not something you can grasp, and forcibly participating will only lead to the annihilation of the group."
Davis was about to say, "Okay, no problem, I'll sell it to you", but Shang Jianyao had already said further:
"Do you want to know what the end result would be if that necklace hadn't been thrown away?"
"What is it?" Davis instinctively asked.
The eyes of all the surrounding relic hunters fell on Shang Jianyao.
Jiang Baimian's first reaction was to cover his face, no, he would give that guy a blow, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it would be a good thing to tell everyone about the possible ending.
As the "Old Tune Group" with the mission of saving all mankind, it is our duty to remind everyone not to touch items related to the "New World".
It can make tragedy less together!
Shang Jianyao solemnly answered Davis's question:
"Initially, the anomalies caused by the necklace only persist for a while, and then return to normal.
"But after doing this again and again, the danger will accumulate to a critical point, and at that time, most of the people present will be infected with 'heartless disease', and only a few will survive, just like when the old world was just destroyed!"
Hearing the shadow of "heartless disease" that has shrouded all mankind for decades, some of the relic hunters present gasped, and they were extremely glad that they met a team that could handle similar things this time, otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous!
Davis was so frightened that he hurriedly picked up the denim backpack he was putting next to him and took out a mobile phone from it.
Immediately afterwards, he was holding a "heartless" virus or a hot baked potato, and he hurriedly threw his phone to Shang Jianyao.
"I'm sending you off!" He tries to make himself appear atmospheric.
The champagne golden phone had no signs of damage, but looked old, Shang Jianyao played with it for a while, and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, it's not abnormal."
With the string of "Six Consciousness Beads" hanging on his feet, he could confirm whether there was "darkness".
Jiang Baimian took out a few 1 ore bills and handed them to Davis.
She said with a smile:
"No, we advocate fair trade and have always cleared both money and goods."
Seeing that Davis wanted to be polite, she added:
"If you don't accept it, I will return the phone to you."
Davis was startled and quickly took the banknote.
After asking for a while and finding no clues, Jiang Baimian took Shang Jianyao and Gnawa back to his jeep.
Because the "Six Beads" would hinder walking on both legs without affecting running upside down, Shang Jianyao tried to use his hands instead of his feet again, but was glared back by Jiang Baimian, who put away the prop unhappily.
Bai Chen and Long Yuehong also listened to the conversation between their teammates and Davis just now, and had a rough idea of what happened, at this time, the former glanced left and right, and said in a low voice:
"Let Lao Ge try to recover the data in the phone?"
Jiang Baimian pondered for a moment and said:
"After dawn, leave this gathering point and try again in a place where there are no people in the wasteland."
"Okay." After analyzing Gnawa, he believes that this is the most reasonable and safe choice.
On the other side, Shang Jian Yao rubbed his chin and said to himself:
"From this point of view, it is likely that the 'chaos' on the cruise ship is really related to the 'New World' node.
"I plan to transfer the breath in the 'Six Consciousness Beads' or 'Angel of Life' necklace to the 'Mind Corridor' and take one of them to the cruise ship to find out the specific location of the 'New World' node."
He was able to bypass and had new ideas on how to deal with the shadows of cruise ships next.
He is no longer limited to breaking through that psychological shadow, but wants to unveil the veil of "chaos" and find out the truth of the matter!
Jiang Baimian nodded:
"The idea is fine, but I still have the same sentence: wait until dawn, leave this gathering point, and try again in a place where there are no people in the wasteland.
"Moreover, you are mentally drained now and need sleep to recover."
Shang Jianyao showed a longing expression:
"When is dawn......"
