long night fire

"……repair……"

At this time, Shang Jianyao had already taken off the flashlight, and shone it around in the narrow room.

He quickly opened various cabinets, found some small instruments and tools, and stuffed them into the camouflage backpack along with various components and circuits, packaged and unpacked.

After putting on the backpack again and hanging up the flashlight, Shang Jianyao trotted back to the street with the "Berserker" assault rifle in his hand.

Qiao Chu, who was wearing a helmet, rushed over in a few strides when he saw this.

Based on his experience, once he "follows" him, unless he shows the intention of actively attacking, no one will make his own claim and will definitely do things according to his orders.

On this point, Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen behaved "normally" enough.

Arriving in front of Shang Jianyao, Qiao Chu asked in a deep voice:

"Why did you leave the team without authorization?"

Shang Jian Yao answered frankly:

"My brain twitched."

"..." Qiao Chu narrowed his eyes, and on the goggles, Shang Jianyao's figure instantly appeared in a relatively abstract state, approaching the target.

This is the "Precise Aiming System" that was naturally activated when he raised the silver rifle.

After a few seconds of silence, Qiao Chu breathed out slowly and lowered the gun:

"Continue to the destination."

Although his voice was not loud, Jiang Baimian and the others had been paying attention to the situation here, and quickly left the hiding place and returned to the team.

The five people once again ran towards the three-way intersection at the end of the street according to the formation and posture just now.

In the ruins of the city, the night wind was a bit chilly, making Long Yuehong seem to have returned to the "Pangeon", after the lights were turned off.

When he was about to turn to the left road, he couldn't help raising his head and glanced at the sky.

Since coming to the surface, his first wish is to see the real sky, his second wish is to see the sun that illuminates everything, and his third wish is to see the starry sky shown in textbooks.

Now, he has fulfilled his first and second wishes, only the third wish has been delayed.

——The weather has been abnormal for a long time recently, the night is always cloudy, only a few stars and part of the moon can be seen occasionally, and this is not a starry sky at all.

I don't know when I will be able to see the real stars... Long Yuehong just looked away when she saw Qiao Chu and Jiang Baimian raised their hands sideways almost at the same time, aimed at a place, and pulled the trigger.

The only difference is that Jiang Baimian drew the "United 202" first, without using the grenade gun.

Snapped!boom!

Two slightly different voices sounded one after another.

With the flash of silver and white lightning, a ragged and partially naked figure fell straight down from a street tree in the middle of the street on the right, and hit the top of the abandoned car with a bang.

His blood quickly spread out.

The crude shotgun shell he was holding flew out and landed on the road.

"An 'unintentional person'." Jiang Baimian held the grenade firmly with only his left arm.

Her night vision is obviously better than ordinary people.

Bai Chen subconsciously asked:

"Want to get that gun back?"

"You don't need a gun. That gun looks like it was made by some homeless settlement in the wilderness. It's unnecessary." Jiang Baimian shook his head.

It has been many years since the old world was destroyed, many guns are no longer usable, bullets of many sizes have been exhausted, and the major forces with a certain production capacity initially imitated the weapons of the old world to maximize the use of materials, and then In recent decades, internal standardization has gradually been done - although this is certainly based on past weapons as a reference, it has reduced a lot of variety.

As a result, the guns obtained by many relic hunters and wilderness wanderers are either broken and cannot be repaired, or they cannot find suitable bullets gradually. Arms, on the one hand, try homemade weapons and bullets.

Among the latter, the shotgun is undoubtedly a good choice. The equipment required is quite simple, and many wilderness settlements have it.

Such a shotgun fell into the hands of the "unintentional", indicating that relic hunters or wilderness wanderers are likely to have been hunted down.

"Do you want a body search?" Bai Chen asked again.

"No." Qiao Chu, who had just used the electromagnetic weapon of the exoskeleton device, replied and turned around.

Bai Chen no longer persisted, and the group of five continued to trot towards the predetermined destination.

After turning another street, Qiao Chu suddenly slowed down.

Jiang Baimian also raised his hand and pressed down, signaling Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong to stop.

Under the brighter moonlight than before, Shang Jianyao saw a dusty black abandoned car in front of him.

Next to the car, there was a person sitting on the floor.

This person has a Zhang Guozi face and is wearing a so-called old world formal suit. His upper body is leaning against the car door, his eyes are tightly closed, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.

"Wu Shoushi..." Jiang Baimian recognized the man.

This is the relic hunter they met in the wilderness before.

——The other party and his companions told the "Old Tune Group" about the discovery of new ruins north of Yuelu Station.

At this moment, Wu Shoushi was alone, and his life and death were unknown.

"There are still signs of life." Jiang Baimian made a judgment based on the sensed electrical signal.

Qiao Chu observed for a while, then said:

"He is sleeping."

Hearing the word "sleep", Jiang Baimian's pupils dilated slightly, he quickly raised his right hand, and was about to shoot at Wu Shoushi's position.

However, she is not targeting people, but car glass.

At this moment, Shang Jianyao took the lead and shot a short burst at the car that Wu Shoushi was leaning against.

In the sound of clicking, a glass window was directly shattered.

Wu Shoushi's eyes moved slightly, as if he was about to wake up, but at this moment, his expression suddenly twisted, his whole body twitched twice, and he completely lost his movement.

"He's dead?" Long Yuehong asked in astonishment.

"Theoretically speaking, there is still a chance of rescue..." Jiang Baimian said so, but she had no intention of stepping forward at all. At the same time, while guarding her surroundings, she moved towards an abandoned car.

The same is true for Bai Chen, and reminded aloud:

"The dreaded nightmare horse may have returned."

Long Yuehong was startled, and tried to keep her eyes wide open to prevent herself from falling asleep.

Qiao Chu didn't speak, and used the "comprehensive early warning system" to focus on looking for possible "enemies" around.

Shang Jianyao looked at Wu Shoushi in front of him, and suddenly said:

"Will you sleep on the street? Although I will..."

"That nightmare horse can force people to sleep?" Jiang Baimian instantly understood what Shang Jianyao wanted to express, "However, when we met it before, it didn't show this."

After she and Shang Jianyao woke up from the real nightmare, they didn't fall asleep inexplicably again.

"Either it can only make one person fall asleep at a time, and will choose to give up when faced with a large number of targets, or..." Shang Jianyao looked up at Qiao Chu who was wearing the exoskeleton device.

Qiao Chu faced the nightmare horse alone before, and he has survived until now.

Shang Jian Yao paused for a moment and said:

"Or there are other monsters here, monsters that can force people to sleep."

Hearing these words, Long Yuehong felt chills all over her body, and felt that there were many things hidden in the darkness around her.

"I'll see if I can save it. Pay attention to my situation." Immediately afterwards, Shang Jianyao walked towards Wu Shoushi with an upright decoy attitude.

As soon as he took two steps forward, a desolate and hoarse roar suddenly sounded from somewhere in the ruins of the city:

"Ow!"

The sound resounded through the sky, making people tremble.

Chapter 68 Inspection

The desolate and hoarse roar was still reverberating, and similar voices sounded from different places in the ruins of the city.

They're not as huge, but one after the other, it's just as scalp-tingling.

And the most frightening thing was that, a hundred meters away from Shang Jianyao and the others, there were countless roars that joined together.

At this time, the high-altitude clouds seemed to have been shaken a lot by the movement, and the yellowish moon briefly revealed half of its face.

The bright and clean rays of light scattered, shining on the buildings at the end of the street that were dozens of meters high.

Those windows reflected the moonlight in the dense night, revealing countless figures.

They couldn't be seen clearly at all, the only thing that was certain was that they seemed to be looking at Shang Jianyao, Jiang Baimian and others, and their bodies were slightly stooped.

Shang Jianyao and the others reacted almost subconsciously. They each took different actions and found an obstacle nearby to cover them. Even Long Yuehong, because she had experienced similar things several times, did not slow down much and fully exerted herself. the effect of training.

The clouds moved quickly, and most of the moon was blocked again. The buildings at the end of the street were once again submerged in the deep darkness, and only the outlines could be vaguely seen.

After a while, seeing that there was no attack, Qiao Chu, who was wearing an exoskeleton device, left the hiding place first.

However, he didn't go back to the middle of the main road, and came directly to the left side of the street paved with dark red stone bricks. Here, there are trees with leaves that are far from falling out to block the sight from high places, which can prevent the shooting that may come at the end of the street from being aimed. .

Similarly, Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen approached Qiao Chu one after another.

Shang Jianyao looked up at the sky and saw that the moonlight and starlight were getting weaker, so he rushed out of the hiding place, made two consecutive rolls, and came to Wu Shoushi's side.

Then, he dragged the corpse, bent his back, and quickly entered an open room on the left side of the street.

The signboard of this house hangs down obliquely, and half of it is broken, only four gray words of "Snack Group" can be seen.

Inside the house, rectangular tables were lined up in two rows, dusty with dust.

Seeing that Yao didn't care if he was dirty or not, he put Wu Shoushi on one of the tables, and according to the first aid knowledge Jiang Baimian had taught him, he unbuttoned the other person's shirt and began to press.

"It seems useless..." Jiang Baimian followed in at some point, watching Shang Jianyao finish the process.

Without giving Shang Jianyao a chance to speak, she habitually ordered:

"Check his body for clues."

Qiao Chu, who was wearing an exoskeleton device, walked to the open door, pressed his lips together, and watched for two seconds:

"No, go to your destination as soon as possible."

Jiang Baimian looked back at Qiao Chu and said sincerely:

"If we can figure out what happened to this relic hunter and find out the real reason why he slept on the street, it should allow us to avoid a lot of dangers in the follow-up operations.

"It's really weird here, and the monsters are more terrifying than I imagined.

"Also, the number of 'heartless people' is also the same. What do they survive on?"

Although the group of "unintentional people" has the instinct to reproduce and will not gradually disappear due to the death of individuals, they are also living things and also need enough food-in the ruins of cities that have lost agricultural and industrial support, they rely only on predation The same kind, rats and bugs simply cannot maintain such a large scale.

The ecological environment will gradually balance.

"Maybe this city has a lot of material reserves...'Unintentional' has survival instincts, and will actively look for these things." Bai Chen also entered the house, guessing the reason.

As for whether the stored food has expired or deteriorated after so many years, "unintentional people" don't think so much, they are almost brainless.

"Maybe." Jiang Baimian did not deny it.

After all, she didn't know where the ruins of this city belonged in the old world. What if there were grain storages found in other ruins?

Moreover, it is entirely possible that the "unintentional person" has evolved the ability to eat rice and flour from generation to generation.

Listening to the discussion between the two ladies, Long Yuehong couldn't help but said:

"There are so many 'unintentional people' here, and the situation is weird, shall we retreat?

"Just moving something on the way out can be called a bumper harvest!"

When he spoke, his eyes were on Qiao Chu.

Qiao Chu ignored him, but urged Shang Jianyao:

"hurry up."

He seemed to accept Jiang Baimian's statement just now, and felt that it was necessary to investigate what happened to Wu Shoushi, otherwise, it would be even more dangerous for him.

After finishing speaking, Qiao Chu earnestly patted the dust off his body.
