Although she had seen the scene of overlay bombing in the old world entertainment materials, when she really encountered it, Long Yuehong still felt her own insignificance.
The technological creations that seemed to be comparable to the power of heaven and earth swelled in different parts of a city, making this area seem to be facing the end of the world, and even the iron will and robotic arms would be blown to pieces.
The thick smoke and dust rising upwards illuminated the blazing fire for a moment, and the ground under the constantly trembling feet made people deafening bursts of roaring, allowing Long Yuehong and others hiding behind the bunker to truly experience what a large-scale and high-intensity war is.
This is more spectacular than the artillery fire that Jiang Baimian has seen before, and it is even more shaky.
I don't know how long it took, the missile strike finally stopped, leaving only the afterglow of the wind and clouds and the imminent heavy rain.
Wow!
The rain the size of a bean falls, stained with countless dust.
Long Yuehong wiped her face and said with emotion:
"Fortunately, we are not the target."
Fortunately, the "old tune team" evacuated Taicheng in advance to rest and eat.
Recalling the team leader's decision at that time, Long Yuehong just wanted to hug Xiaobai hard and shouted:
"Hooray!"
Jiang Baimian rarely showed a confused expression, letting the rain hit his face.
"How could there be a sudden missile strike?" She asked herself doubtfully.
And it is also a saturation strike against the ruins of a city, regardless of the cost and the consequences!
You must know that in addition to the large-scale war between top forces such as the "First City", there has been no such thing as launching missiles to hit targets for many years.
This is comparable to the loss of a nuclear warhead by the "old tune team", and it is more sudden, unobedient and incomprehensible.
With Jiang Baimian's mind, there was a subtle sense of absurdity at this moment of encountering a mechanical séance.
"Can you write a script?" Shang Jianyao threw a stone in his hand to the ground.
When he was hiding behind the cover he had just found, he was bored and played the game of throwing stones and catching stones.
Jiang Baimian found that he easily understood what Shang Jianyao wanted to express this time:
The "screenwriter" of fate felt that there was a mistake in the Taicheng incident and there was no way to solve it, so he used missiles to wash the floor to force the end!
Gnava had calculated the trajectory of the trajectory he had observed earlier, and pointed to a local road to the northwest:
"The specific coordinates of the launch from there need to be further collected."
Bai Chen rubbed his short hair that was wet with rain, and said guessingly:
"A change within Taicheng triggered a default missile strike?"
Even though she had been a wilderness wanderer for many years, and had seen all kinds of things beyond cognition and common sense with the "old tune group", she was still trembling and unable to control herself during the missile strike just now, as if she had returned to the weakest and most helpless place.
"It's possible." Jiang Baimian responded to Bai Chen's words.
Long Yuehong stopped the follow-up communication, looked at Bai Chen with concern and said:
"How to discuss in the rain?
"Go back to the car first, or put on your raincoat."
Although the "old tune group" is all physically outstanding and not even human, there is no need to get caught in the rain.
Gnava tried to make Long Yuehong feel relieved:
"I have already tested that the explosion just now did not have radiation pollution or chemical pollution."
"It's okay, it's okay." Long Yuehong breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Baimian greeted the team members, packed up the items scattered outside before, and returned to the car.
Although the sky was still gloomy, the brightness could no longer prevent the "old tune team" from looking at the scene of Taiwan City in the distance.
Many buildings there have collapsed, and only a few are barely standing, more like the end of the world than before.
Jiang Baimian, who was by the window in the back row, stared for a while and said:
"Let's withdraw a little further away, so that there will be a few more rounds of blows in the future, which will affect us."
"Yes, yes!" Long Yuehong, who was in the passenger seat, almost raised his hands and feet in approval.
Inexplicably, he was a little grateful for the missile washing just now, which made the group's next exploration operation have to be terminated early.
Maybe I will be able to return to the company soon and register with Xiaobai...... Long Yuehong's thoughts went astray.
The "old adjustment team" withdrew more than ten kilometers in the direction when it came, all the way to the highway fault zone.
Instead of re-camping, they sat in jeeps and waited for the company to call back.
After about an hour, "Pangu Creature" finally gave the latest instructions:
"When you go to explore Renhui Hospital, be careful of the nodes of the 'New World'."
"It seems that the company also suspects that there is a 'new world' node in the vegetative rehabilitation center of Renhui Hospital." Jiang Baimian made a simple comment.
Shang Jianyao sighed and said:
"It's late, the company doesn't know that Taicheng has been bombed."
After saying that, he suddenly became excited:
"I haven't explored a city bombed by missiles.
"The kind that was just blown up."
"Wait a little longer, who knows if there will be another round of strikes." Jiang Baimian calmly stopped Shang Jianyao.
She did not forget to feedback the latest situation to the company, and "Pangu Biotech's" attitude towards this is:
"Observe for a few days to confirm whether the target location has been destroyed."
Seeing the sentence "Confirm whether the target location has been destroyed", Jiang Baimian said thoughtfully:
"The purpose of this missile strike will not be to blow up Renhui Hospital and Taicheng No. 1 Senior High School, right?"
"This sounds like what the Eighth Research Institute wants to do." Shang Jianyao slapped his thigh.
One of the missions of the Eighth Research Institute is to prevent humanity from investigating the causes of the destruction of the Old World and the origin of the "Heartless Disease", and for this reason, it often blows up various buildings that hide clues, such as the secret laboratory in the ruins of Swamp 1.
"Judging from the information we have collected so far, the Vegetative Rehabilitation Center of Renhui Hospital is indeed likely to hide extremely valuable clues." Jiang Baimian nodded in agreement with Shang Jianyao's statement.
Long Yuehong asked puzzled:
"Then why didn't the Eighth Research Institute destroy it early or late, but launched missiles at this time?"
"Previously, they could only find the fake Taiwan City, and it was estimated that the target location had already been destroyed." Bai Chen recalled what the group saw when they first arrived in Taicheng and gave his own guess.
Jiang Baimian nodded lightly and said:
"We awakened 'Zhuang Sheng', causing the dream in Taicheng No. 1 Senior High School to be shattered, and the fake Taicheng that protected the real Taicheng disappeared.
"But, how could they find out so quickly?" Long Yuehong asked suspiciously.
The Eighth Research Institute did not send anyone to garrison here.
Gnava moved his neck made of metal, pointed to the sky and said:
"There may be their 'eyes' on it."
Satellite? Does the Eighth Research Institute have satellites that can still be used? Long Yuehong quickly understood what Lao Ge meant.
Jiang Baimian said "hmm":
"So wait a few days, there will be no more situation, and then go to confirm whether the target location has been blown up."
…………
After waiting for two days, the "old tune team" did not wait for the follow-up missile strike.
So, they drove the jeep, circled around for half a circle, and entered Taicheng from another place.
The further you walk towards Renhui Hospital and First High School, the more serious the damage to the roads becomes, and the more tragic the collapse of buildings on both sides.
In the end, it was already difficult for vehicles to pass, so Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao had to push down the door, put on a military exoskeleton device, overcome many obstacles, and go to Renhui Hospital.
Long Yuehong, Bai Chen, and Gnawa stayed in place, waiting to receive them.
Not long after, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao arrived at the neighborhood where Renhui Hospital was located.
They looked at it and found that it had almost been razed to the ground.
Obviously, the missile strike was indeed aimed here.
"The clue is broken......" Shang Jianyao made a lost voice.
Jiang Baimian was also sad for a while, and experienced the taste of failure.
She calmed down and said to Shang Jianyao:
"Let's go to Taicheng No. 1 High School again."
The two places are not too far apart, otherwise the member of the scientific expedition team would not have been able to panic and enter that side.
The result is self-evident, and Taicheng No. 1 Senior High School was also razed to the ground.
"Aren't they afraid of angering 'Zhuang Sheng'?" The reckless Shang Jianyao was amazed at the courage of the Eighth Research Institute.
Jiang Baimian exhaled and said:
"It should involve the dispute of the 'New World'."
She waved her palm covered with metal skeletons and sighed:
"Let's go, go back."
Although Long Yuehong was secretly happy, she didn't dare to say anything at this time.
As the jeep drove back, Jiang Baimian suddenly raised his head and said thoughtfully:
"I'm thinking, it's impossible for Ding Ling's husband's scientific expedition team to all die in Renhui Hospital, right?
"Since someone can escape and mistakenly enter Taicheng No. 1 Senior High School, there should be other survivors, well, there is a certain probability."
"Yes." Long Yuehong didn't understand why the team leader suddenly discussed this topic, but he felt that there was nothing wrong with this reasoning.
Jiang Baimian looked at the windshield in front of him and said:
"Where will those survivors go after escaping from Renhui Hospital and passing through the panicked stage?"
Bai Chen, who was driving, and Gnawa in the back row said at the same time:
"Go back the same way, leave Taicheng, and seek rescue."
Jiang Baimian nodded:
"But obviously, they failed to leave Taicheng."
At this time, Shang Jianyao laughed:
"Maybe they lost the Buddhist 'token' in Renhui Hospital and found that they couldn't find their way out, so they wandered on the edge of the city, collecting food and looking for an exit."
This...... Long Yuehong suddenly discovered that this was really an investigation direction.
