Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 1735 The city behind you is dreaming
"This is a product of my ability."

A silver-white ball with the size of a human head spun around on Batoude's fingers, just like a basketball player showing off his skills before the end of the world; only between his fingers and the silver-white ball, there is still There was a thin line of air.

"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, they are message sending and receiving stations that only belong to me. My combat power is not high, and this ability is special; I can produce a total of seven at present, and when I can produce the eighth , then it should be renamed Nine Heads Virtue.”

As soon as Batoude raised his finger, the ball floated up leisurely and stopped on the heads of the two of them out of thin air.Through the dense bamboo curtains around them, the figures and legs of the residents of Fanjia City came and went in a hurry, shaking and fragmenting the sunlight from the opposite window, making the whole room full of bamboo-colored waves.

Although he is a famous person, his residence also occupies only one side of the road, separated from the neighbors by walls on both sides, and two large bamboo curtains hang down on the side facing the road as a door.The abode was really humble; but it sat beside the flowing crowd, and under the wavy sky, it was warm and peaceful in an appropriate way.

Lin Sanjiu sat cross-legged on the thin carpet, and there was a cup of tea on the rough stone table—this kind of special item that can be refilled after eating and drinking is not uncommon in the Twelve Realms; he sat down and said In just a few words, two thirsty children came to ask for tea with their cups raised.

"I became an anchor because of my interest, and I was born to do this job." Eight-headed De explained, "The information that flows from my seven heads can be connected to any system that transmits information through signals. From this system So, even if I am not a registered anchor in any communication system, you can still hear my program on, for example, the yellow ear system."

Any communication system?

As soon as Lin Sanjiu had an idea, Batou De had already expected it. It seems that he has been asked many times: "Yes, even the internal communication system of the spacecraft that happens to pass by will send out my program. Your pre-doomsday society , is something called a mobile phone? If I want to, and I can reach the signal, then my voice will also come from everyone’s mobile phone.”

Lin Sanjiu realized that the help Batou De could bring her to find someone far exceeded her expectations.As long as there is any signal transmission around Yu Yuan, it is equivalent to being only an arm's length away from her - she later realized that the subject of this sentence that crossed her mind was Yu Yuan, not Ji Shanqing.

"Why not just become a registered broadcast in the communication system?"

Eight-headed German waved his hand. "It's too troublesome. It's just for ordinary users. What the anchor wants to broadcast has to be checked and approved by the system first. If the content doesn't suit their wishes, I have to change it again until they agree. I'm just a free ride, and they can't do anything to me In the same way, my existence is now acquiesced.

"These heads can also be directly used as a broadcaster, or a broadcaster with very advanced functions, which can be broadcast within a certain range." Batoude suddenly laughed, circled his fists, and said something silently—— Outside at least five or six houses along the street, Batoude's faint voice suddenly sounded in the distance: "Old Ding, there is one more person on the task tonight, you should be ready."

If you close your eyes, it sounds like Batou De himself is talking tens of meters away.

"Tonight's mission?" Lin Sanjiu leaned over and asked.

This should be the purpose of the eight-headed Germany to hire her-it sounds like it has changed from a fight to a group fight.

Batoude's smile slowly fell, and when he raised his hand, the silver-white ball stopped moving, and its color dimmed, as if it had been "closed".

"I hope you can stay for a few days and join our patrol team. At twelve o'clock tonight, you, me, and the other [-] evolutionaries we organized will watch the night in Fanjia City in different regions." He said I don't know what to take out a simple map with strokes from some storage props, and spread it on the stone table.The creases on the map were very deep, and Lin Sanjiu was obviously not the first person to see it.

Fanjia City was simplified into an irregular shape and divided into eleven blocks. Batoude pointed to the fifth area, indicating that this is the area that Lin Sanjiu will patrol.There were two other names written on the paper, including himself, who were members of the fifth district patrol.

"To defend against who?" To be honest, as long as Batoude can help her find a gift bag, she can defend against nuclear bombs.

Batoude's answer was unexpected to her.

"...I don't know." The broad and strong man replied in a low voice.After a pause, he said, "I guess it's a fallen species."

"you guess?"

Batoude glanced outside the bamboo curtain, and the shadows around him were still flowing as usual. "In the past month, many people in Fanjia City have disappeared. They are often still there the day before, discussing with neighbors about the business of transporting vegetables, quarreling with lovers, signing up to join Guihe...they disappeared the next day .”

Lin Sanjiu frowned.

"For the evolutionary who suddenly disappeared, it's easy to explain. It's either a teleportation or a great flood. We're almost used to the latter." As expected of the anchor, Batou De is well-informed, "But how to explain the sudden disappearance of ordinary people Woolen cloth?"

He exhales. "Walking in the clouds, they will attack ordinary people. After thinking about it, they are the fallen species, right? Our highland is piled up from the top of the mountain under the smog layer. If occasionally a few fallen species sneak up to hunt It's normal."

"In that case," Lin Sanjiu immediately realized what was unreasonable, "similar incidents should have happened before."

It's not that the eight-headed German has never thought about this problem.He scratched his stubble-covered chin a few times, and was also very distressed: "Maybe the degenerate species is smart? In the past, they attacked everywhere without distinguishing targets, and they would immediately trigger alarms and be evolved. or kill them. Now they may have learned to sneak up at night and take one by one."

"Has anyone heard the warning or the cry for help?" Lin Sanjiu raised an eyebrow and asked. "Are there any traces of struggle and remnants of the fallen species?"

"……nothing."

Lin Sanjiu glanced at him, and he was discouraged: "So... one of the goals of the patrol is to find out what's going on."

As long as Batoude can help her find the gift bag, she doesn't care what the goal is—everything she does now is just to find the way back to the gift bag; as for what happened to the stranger in this strange city, There may be some regrets, but it is not to mention how worried and concerned.

With the same attitude as her, there are many evolutionaries hired by Badude to do things for money-for example, the evolutionist Zhongqing who is on the same team as her, a thin, shoulder-length hair casually tied in his head young man behind.

Fanjia City in the middle of the night closed its eyes along with the people who supported it during the day, just like a body that sinks softly into the sheets during a deep sleep, rising and falling slightly in the dark.

Lin Sanjiu walked in the narrow passage echoing with the sound of steady breathing, behind Batou De and Zhongqing Palace.

From somewhere behind the city wall, the sound of charming and swaying music came; in the bursts of ambiguous and changing light colors between the windows, someone's dance steps were struck; occasionally, from the open night sky overhead, young girls lowered their smiles Sound, stepping on a skateboard and leaping past - like a dream in Fanjiacheng's trance.

The night from the skylight was light, and it seemed to be softened by the heat from people's bodies; in such a quiet and peaceful night, it was hard to imagine any danger.

They took a few glances out from a window, and there were countless layers of dark city walls stretching along the hillside, and they couldn't even tell where the edge of Fanjia City was.

People in Fanjia City can sleep among so many companions every night, so they must be very at ease, right?Even if someone is missing, the atmosphere does not feel tightened.

After patrolling for almost two hours, neither Lin Sanjiu's intuition nor his consciousness caught anything unusual.After walking for a long time, even Batou De gradually relaxed his vigilance—it was true that nothing happened, and sometimes he could meet people who stayed up late at night and greet them softly.

"Still on patrol?"

A woman was leaning against the window and smoking a cigarette, and the smoke was puffing, which made Lin Sanjiu unable to see clearly whether she was an evolutionary or an ordinary person. "You have more to worry about than Guihe, who doesn't care about anything other than collecting taxes."

Batoude said a few words politely.

"I don't know what you're trying to prove." She crushed the cigarette butt and threw it out the window.is an evolutionary. "We people who live here every day, don't we find nothing? I think the rumors are probably true. Are you paying people to patrol every night because you don't want to admit it?"

Badou De didn't want to say more, and walked over with a stiff face; when Zhong Qing walked in front of her, he stopped and asked, "What rumors?"

The woman smiled lightly, and the remaining smoke and light lines dispersed from the corners of her eyes.She glanced at Zhong Qing, obviously unwilling to say more, she just smiled at him in a low voice: "I just like your type, a thin and short young boy. Don't die, or it will be a pity. "

Zhong Qing shook his head.The eight-headed German in front also stopped and turned around, as if to urge the two of them to move on; Zhong Qing looked back at Lin Sanjiu and asked, "You also noticed something wrong?"

Lin Sanjiu didn't speak.

She was going to find the gift bag and Yu Yuan, so it was worth taking any risk for it.

"The target of your suspicion is indeed not the Corrupted species at all," Zhong Qing said in a low voice to the Eight-Headed Virtue: "If you are worried about the Corrupted species, then what's the use of us patrolling the depths of Fanjia City? The outer edge that can be climbed is too far away. I lived in Fanjia City for a few days, and I did hear some rumors..."

Batoude's complexion suddenly darkened, and the woman by the window straightened up slowly; anyone could feel that their bodies were tense because of vigilance—at that moment, the word "trap" suddenly appeared from Lin San The past flashed across Jiu's mind.

She realized it after an instant: the eyes of the two of them at this moment were fixed on something behind herself and Zhongqing.

　I feel that the plot of Fanjia City is a bit slow, so I decided to speed up the pace...
