Chapter 574 That Friend Over There

15 Vicente Street.

This is an abandoned industrial building.

He Ao got out of the taxi, bid farewell to the driver, and stared at the building.

Most of the doors and windows of the building have been broken, only a few of the surrounding buildings are still bright, and even the street lamps beside the road have been broken.

He just searched and found that this area has been included in the planning of the new industrial area of ​​Witland. To be demolished, most of the surrounding businesses and residents have already moved out.

He Ao did not directly enter this abandoned industrial building, but raised his wristband and took a look.

The signal grid of the wristband is displayed as '×'.

There is no signal here.

Theoretically speaking, within the fortress city, there is no place without signal.

In a federation that relies heavily on intelligence and automation, the communications consortium has spread signal transmitters almost everywhere. Where there is no signal, unmanned buses and unmanned taxis cannot be used, and various intelligent robots will also go on strike.

Even in some chaotic slums, such as the Zarot area where the scavengers live, there are few automated machinery and few smart devices, but there, the communication consortium maintains the weakest signal coverage.

Of course, this is not because the communication consortium is so kind and wants to do charity at a loss.

Even if it is less, the Zarot area still communicates with the outside world, including communication with cleaning companies, including the use of some intelligent machinery.

In order for communication companies to recover costs, the communication service fees in the Zarot region are much higher than in other regions.

If there are few users, it depends on increasing the unit price of customers to make profits.

Therefore, people in the Zarot area use the worst network and pay the highest communication service fee in the entire Wetland.

Of course, this is a proud achievement of the Communication Consortium Alliance. They can confidently claim that they have laid a communication network to every corner of the fortress city, so that users can use their services with confidence.

He Ao put down his bracelet and looked at the abandoned building in front of him.

The location here is not remote, even if it is a demolition area, the area is not large, even if all the surrounding signal base stations have been demolished, the nearby base stations can still spread weaker signals.

Therefore, the reason why there is no signal can only be that someone has used a signal shielding device nearby.

He Ao took out the bone ax and the wooden box wrapped in the cloth cover.

Then he took out the super-strong rope he bought near Witland University after he left home, tied it into two nooses, tied the bone ax and the wooden box separately, and carried it behind his back.

This kind of rope is made of a certain kind of strong fiber, which is very tough, and it can withstand a bone ax weighing several hundred kilograms without any problem.

He Ao tried it, and the bone ax and the wooden box could be easily released from the noose, so he tied the rope completely around his body.

After freeing his hands, he looked around the abandoned industrial building again,
Now that the time has passed zero, the surrounding area is pitch black, especially since there is still a brightly lit business district not far away, this area looks even darker.

But this didn't affect He Ao's eyesight. He turned on Super Memory, and quickly scanned the surrounding area.

Soon, he found some clues in details.

At the entrance of the building, on the broken windows and concrete walls, there were many flat cuts that seemed to be cut by extremely thin blades.

This is the damage caused by Haixi's silk thread weapon.

This proves that Haixi was here just now, who was fighting with.

In the depths of the first floor of the building, a few drops of blood were dripping on the ground, it didn't take long, this battle happened not long ago.

It took about 13 minutes for He Ao to take an express taxi, plus the 2 minutes of waiting, it only took 15 minutes in total from Haixifa's location to He Ao's arrival.

The blood on the ground has not yet dried up, and the battle happened almost ten minutes ago.

In other words, before and after Hai Xi sent the address to He Ao, she encountered some kind of fierce battle, and she didn't know whether the blood on the ground belonged to her or the person who attacked her.

He Ao turned off Super Memory, and walked into the building step by step.

The surrounding night was eerily silent.

This abandoned industrial building itself is relatively close to the North Vitland District, and He Ao was walking from the North Vitland District to the Plant District from the beginning, so after he received Haixi's address, he came here in a short time. not long.

But in ten minutes, for a powerful transcendent, some battles can already be ended.

After entering the building, more details appeared in front of He Ao.

There are many footprints at the entrance of the building. It seems that many people have run into the building, but the total number of people should not exceed ten.

Moreover, these footprints are very messy, which proves that they are not as strict as the professional mercenaries He Ao encountered before. Even if they are professional, they are not very professional.

Howo lowered his head and watched the footprints.

Most of the footprints are leather shoe soles, and they are all wide, looking like they came from some tall men.

And between these broad footprints, there is a very light, slender footprint with a firm step.

These should be Haixi's footprints. Haixi's feet are not big, about 230 mm long, so they can be easily distinguished.

Compared with other chaotic footprints, her footprints are clearly organized, which proves that at least when she arrived at this commercial building, her mood was quite stable.

Judging from the mixed proximity of these footprints, Haixi and the owners of those chaotic footprints should be together, they are a team.

These footprints extend all the way to the depths of the hall on the first floor of the building, and they seem to be hiding from something.

He Ao turned his head and looked behind him.

There was nothing on the ground behind him, clean as if nothing had walked on it.

He thought for a moment, and opened the super memory.

From the perspective of super memory, some small areas on the ground behind are not the same as other places are revealed.

It was a person's footprint, so light that it seemed to leave no trace.

These footprints are not coherent, and some of them have been buried by the dust blown by the night wind. Even with super memory, He Ao can barely distinguish that there may be a footprint before a certain area.

This person's movements are as light as the wind.

Different from the panic of Hai Xi and the others, this person's pace has obvious regularity, which proves that he is not in a hurry, chasing Hai Xi and others leisurely.

This is a combat-oriented transcendent, at least C-level.

He Ao withdrew his gaze and continued to move forward.

A signal shielding device was installed around this building, which was obviously to prevent Haixi from contacting the outside. It seemed that the other party deliberately 'drive' Haixi and others to the vicinity.

The footprints along the way are getting more and more chaotic.

Then He Ao found the first corpse behind a simple partition wall with only half of it left.

It was a tall man in a black suit who looked like a bodyguard. An extremely small wound pierced his heart, and the blow was fatal.

Seeing that his footprints are not with those of the large army, he should be completely panicked and wanted to escape from the other side, but because he was alone, he was killed first.

The opponent attacked fiercely, without leaving any vitality, and didn't even let the blood splash out of the area covered by this half of the wall.

A few steps beyond the corpse, you will reach the place where He Ao just saw the blood dripping outside.

There was a faint white glow in these bloodstains, surrounded by the footprints of Haixi and the strong man who chased them.

It seems that there was a fight between them here, Haixi's metal wire can attack from a long distance, but the footprints of the two are so close, it should be that the strong man got close.

It seems that what the strong man is holding should be some kind of melee weapon like a rapier.

In close proximity, the long-range advantage of Haixi Metal Wire cannot be brought into play, and the attacking moves will be restricted due to space constraints.

He Ao looked at these footprints and the traces left by the surrounding metal wires, and simulated the scene of the two fighting in his mind.

Haixi originally intended to prevent the strong man from approaching remotely, so she manipulated the metal wire to attack from a distance, but her attacks were easily dodged by the strong man.

There was no trace left by a rapier around, which proved that the other party easily dealt with Haixi's attack and got closer to Haixi.

He Ao stood on the last footprints left by the two, imagining what the two had just done.

In this extremely short hand-to-hand fight, after the strong man narrowed the distance, he stabbed Hai Xi's left heart with a sword, but was dodged by Hai Xi, and finally the sword light cut Hai Xi's left upper arm, blood Splashed out and dripped to the ground.

He Ao looked at the blood stains on the ground, the shape and direction of the blood splashes were as he expected.

His simulation was only completed in a very short time. He almost stopped in front of the bloodstain within a few seconds, and he had completed all the battles in his brain.

Then he raised his head and looked at the footprints in front of him. Those messy footprints gathered together, distanced himself from Hai Xi's footprints, and ran towards the depths of the building.

It seemed that Haixi was trying to cover these people, taking the initiative to delay and delay for them.

He Ao continued to follow those footprints, and these footprints turned into the deepest part of the building. Here, He Ao saw more bloodstains, as well as traces of Haixi fighting with the strong man.

It seems that Haixi's condition is not good. The strong man she didn't get rid of easily has been fighting and retreating, and he has suffered more and more injuries.

That strong man didn't seem to want to kill her, but was constantly consuming her strength.

Finally, the trembling footsteps came to an abrupt stop in the abandoned fire stairwell.

He Ao walked to the stairway, squatted down slightly, and picked up a black thing that had been crushed from the ground.

This is a bracelet, a broken bracelet.

The inside of the bracelet is completely damaged and cannot be opened.

Judging from its shape, this is Haixi's bracelet.

There were a lot of scratches on the surrounding walls, the rusty steel handrails were also cut off, and the broken steel fragments were scattered all over the stairs. Just looking at the ruin-like scene, one can imagine what a tragic event happened here before. fighting.

In the gaps in the stairwell, between the rusty steel, and in the walls cut by the rapier, blood with white brilliance was splashed everywhere.

In this battle, Haixi was seriously injured and paid a heavy price, but she finally got rid of the strong man's pursuit and escaped.

He Ao went up the stairs and entered the second floor of the building.

Those chaotic footprints covered by Haixi were running around in a panic.

On the corridor on the second floor, He Ao once again saw the body of a bodyguard in a black suit.

He knelt on the ground and leaned back against the wall.

There was panic, fear, and a begging look on his face.

A small gash pierced his skull.

It seemed that he wanted to surrender, but the strong man who was chasing and teasing them was not willing to accept his surrender.

He Ao continued to move forward, and encountered several corpses.

These basically wanted to surrender, but they were all pierced by the strong man's sword.

At this point, He Ao has discovered that the strong man is not in a hurry to kill Hai Xi, but is playing tricks on Hai Xi and the people around Hai Xi like a cat catching a mouse but not eating it right away.

Little by little it brought them fear and despair.

However, if the other party really had this kind of intention, there is a high probability that Haixi is still alive.

She should be hiding somewhere by now.

He Ao briefly turned on Super Memory, and his gaze scanned all the surrounding space.

-

Huge cockroaches crawled across the old, dark chopping board.

A middle-aged man in a black suit with a neat hairstyle curled up in the low, dark counter.

The shattered windows of the moon shone brightly on the dirty floor of the old kitchen.

A figure blocked the moonlight, casting a long shadow on the floor.

The shadow moved forward little by little, and passed the cabinet door where the two were hiding.

The man held his breath, saw the dim shadow covering the moonlight through the gap in the cabinet door, and trembled a little.

In front of him was a woman with short wine red hair wearing denim sportswear and a small jacket.

Most of her clothes were torn, and her white skin and hideous wounds were exposed in the silent night.

The man couldn't see the specific situation of the woman clearly, but he knew that the woman was seriously injured. He tremblingly watched the woman, and he didn't know what to do at the moment.

The woman just put her index finger to her mouth, signaling him to be quiet.

The shadow at the door moved forward slowly, and finally left the cabinet door completely.

The bright moonlight once again spread on the clean floor.

The man stared at the bright light through the gap, he still held his breath nervously, for fear that the shadow would kill a carbine.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

There was no movement in the bright moonlight, as if the figure had finally gone away.

At this moment, the man finally let out a long sigh of relief.

At this moment, a little dim shadow descended from top to bottom, covering the upper part of the cabinet door.

The man froze for a moment, looking at the dim shadow.

It was a head hanging upside down, leaning against the cabinet door, with bloodshot eyes staring at the man through the gap in the cabinet door.

He noticed that the man was looking at him too.

He cracked the corner of his mouth, revealing a row of teeth that were white under the moonlight.

A biting chill climbed up the man's back, and an abyss of fear filled his body.

bang... bang...
At this moment, there was a slow knock on the door.

Immediately afterwards, there was a gentle and gentle voice,

"That friend over there who is lying on the cabinet and looking down, please don't stick your butt up too high, it's unsightly."

　happy new year~
