The desolate and hoarse roar was still reverberating, and similar sounds rang out from different places in the ruins of the city.
They're not that huge, but one after another, it's equally scalp-tingling.
The most terrifying thing was that there were countless roars from a hundred meters away from Shang Jianyao and the others.
At this time, the high-altitude clouds seemed to be scattered a lot by this movement, and the yellowish moon briefly revealed half of its face.
The bright light scattered, shining on the buildings dozens of meters high at the end of the street.
The windows on that side reflected the moonlight in the rich night, revealing countless figures.
They couldn't be seen clearly at all, the only certainty was that they all seemed to be looking at Shang Jianyao, Jiang Baimian and others, and their bodies were slightly hunched.
Shang Jianyao and the others reacted almost subconsciously. They each took different actions and found an obstacle nearby. Even Long Yuehong, who has experienced similar things several times, did not slow down much, and gave full play to it. the effect of training.
The clouds moved quickly, the moon was mostly blocked again, and the buildings at the end of the street were once again submerged in the deep darkness, only vaguely visible outlines.
After a while, seeing that there was no attack, Qiao Chu, who was wearing an exoskeleton device, left the hiding place first.
However, he did not return to the middle of the road, and went directly to the left side of the street paved with dark red stone bricks. There are trees with leaves far from falling to block the sight from the heights, which can prevent the shooting that may come at the end of the street from aiming. .
Similarly, Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen also approached Qiao Chu one after another.
Shang Jianyao looked up at the sky and saw that the moonlight and starlight were getting weaker and weaker, he suddenly jumped out of the hiding place, made two rolls in a row, 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 diagonally, half of it is broken, and only four gray texts of "Snack Group" can be seen.
Inside the house, rectangular tables were lined up in two rows, dusted with dust.
Shang Jianyao didn't care whether it was dirty or not, and put Wu Shoushi on one of the tables. According to the first aid knowledge taught by Jiang Baimian, he unbuttoned the other party's shirt and started to press.
"It seems to be useless..." Jiang Baimian came 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."
Wearing the exoskeleton device, Qiao Chu walked to the open door, pursed his lips tightly, 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 the real reason why he slept on the street, it should allow us to avoid a lot of danger in the follow-up action.
"It's really weird here, the monsters are more terrifying than I imagined.
"Also, the number of 'unintentional ones' is also, what do they eat to survive?"
Although the "mindless" group has the instinct of reproduction and will not gradually disappear due to the death of the individual, they are also creatures and need enough food - in the ruins of cities that have lost agricultural and industrial support, they only rely on predation of the same kind , mice and bugs, simply cannot maintain such a large scale.
The ecological environment will gradually balance.
"Maybe the city's material reserves are very sufficient... The 'Unintentional' has a survival instinct and will take the initiative to find these things." Bai Chen also entered the house and guessed the reason.
As for whether the stored food has expired or deteriorated for so many years, the "unintentional" will not think so much, they are almost without brains.
"Maybe." Jiang Baimian did not deny it.
After all, she didn't know where the ruins of the city belonged in the old world. What if there were food reserves found in other ruins
Moreover, it is entirely possible for the "unintentional" to reproduce from generation to generation, and it is entirely possible to evolve the ability to eat rice and flour.
Listening to the discussion between the two ladies, Long Yuehong couldn't help but said:
"There are many 'unintentional people' here, and the situation is strange, let's retreat, shall we
"Anything you pick up on the way out can be called a bumper harvest!"
When he spoke, his eyes were looking at Qiao Chu.
Qiao Chu ignored him and just urged Shang Jianyao to say:
"hurry up."
He seemed to accept what Jiang Baimian said just now, and felt that it was necessary to investigate what happened to Wu Shoushi, otherwise, it would also be more dangerous for him.
After speaking, Qiao Chu seriously slapped the dust on his body.
Shang Jianyao took a flashlight and checked it again. He didn't find any obvious damage on Wu Shoushi's body, but the other party's face was twisted, as if he saw something extremely terrifying, or encountered something extremely terrifying.
It's very similar to the eerily dead people north of Yuelu Station described by bald hunter Harris Brown.
Combining with Qiao Chu's statement, Shang Jianyao can preliminarily judge that this was because he was attacked by a nightmare horse and died.
As for where the monster is and how far it is from here, he has no way of knowing.
He immediately stripped off Wu Shoushi's clothes, looking for inconspicuous traces.
"There is a circle of skin on the wrist that is whiter than the surrounding part, which means that the watch was worn before, but it may have fallen somewhere... There is no recent injection needle... Unfortunately, there is no blood test here, and it is difficult to determine whether there is inhaled anesthetic gas..." Jiang Bai Mian approached and helped Shang Jianyao to complete the inspection quickly.
Then, she straightened up and looked at Qiao Chu, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong with a slightly solemn expression:
"There is a high probability that it was forced to sleep by the ability similar to the Nightmare Horse.
"It's not certain whether this was done by the Nightmare Horse or another monster."
"It's not a nightmare horse." Qiao Chu said with great certainty.
Jiang Baimian nodded:
"Um... do you know what a nightmare horse's roar looks like?"
Qiao Chu opened his mouth and seemed to want to imitate, but he felt too ashamed and finally gave up the plan.
At this time, Shang Jian Yao also stood up straight.
Holding the torch, he asked earnestly:
"Is that so?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he learned the loudest and most terrifying roar just now, and there was no embarrassment at all.
Of course, this time, he has control over the volume.
"No." Qiao Chu shook his head in denial without hesitation.
Jiang Baimian frowned slightly:
"It seems that the most terrifying monster in the ruins of this city is not the Nightmare Horse."
This is what she wanted to determine with the question just now - was the Nightmare Horse the one that made a huge roar and attracted bursts of responses.
"Is that so?" Shang Jianyao continued to imitate the various roars he had heard before.
"Neither." Qiao Chu, who was wearing a helmet, couldn't help but ask, "Can't you just learn how to call a horse? The roar of a nightmare horse is the same as that of a normal horse, with a slight difference."
Shang Jianyao glanced at Qiao Chu:
"I've never seen a horse."
After speaking, he turned around, bent down, and checked Wu Shoushi's clothes pocket.
The first thing he pulled out was a brass-colored badge. The front of the badge had a facial relief with blurred facial features, a knife and a gun, and a small chip was inlaid on the back.
Shang Jianyao had seen something similar before and knew that it was the badge of the "Hunter Guild", so he handed it over to Jiang Baimian.
Jiang Baimian put it away without reading the contents of the chip.
- Wu Shoushi's previous tasks have almost nothing to do with the encounters in this exploration.
The second item Shang Jianyao found was a blue and white handkerchief.
The handkerchief looks old and has a little pilling on the surface, but it is neatly folded.
Shang Jianyao shook off the handkerchief, but found no clues, folded it back as it was, and stuffed it into Wu Shoushi's breast pocket.
The third item he found was a half of dark chocolate wrapped in tinfoil.
This chocolate has obvious traces of melting and solidification, but there is no place where it has been bitten.
When Shang Jianyao was looking at this piece of chocolate over and over, Bai Chen suddenly said:
"It should be that when you want to eat it, just lick it or put it in your mouth."
She said it very flatly, as if she was used to things like that.
Shang Jian Yao nodded slightly and replied:
"Do you want it?"
"In the ruins of this city, there is no need." Bai Chen shook his head.
There must be a lot of stuff to be found here.
Shang Jianyao didn't ask anyone else, and continued to search Wu Shoushi's clothes.
The fourth item he found was a similarly neatly folded piece of paper.
The text on the paper is quite neat:
"I owe Ruxiang a can of beef;
"I owe Ah Gang two payments, equivalent to a large bag of compressed biscuits;
"I owe Zhang the lame half a bowl of oil;
"Olank owes a pistol, ten bullets;
"I owe Xiaoguang a meal of meat;
"I owe a flower like fragrant fragrance..."
Shang Jianyao read it quickly, folded the piece of paper again, and put it in his pocket.
"You won't, do you want to help him pay it back?" Jiang Baimian looked a little surprised.
However, she wouldn't be too surprised when Shang Jianyao did something.
Shang Jianyao replied expressionlessly:
"If you meet his companions, give them this paper and the hunter badge."
Jiang Baimian nodded slowly but didn't say more.
The fifth "item" found by Shang Jianyao was the twelve coins in Wu Shoushi's trousers pocket.
Judging from their patterns and shapes, they should belong to the old world.
"Is the coins of the old world still usable?" Long Yuehong glanced at it and asked in surprise.
"Yes, but don't look at the face value, just look at what metal it is and how much it weighs." Bai Chen explained briefly.
Of the twelve coins, seven were silver-white and five were golden. Shang Jianyao looked at them for a while and put them into the small interlayer of the camouflage backpack.
Next, removing the clothes, pants and shoes, he only found Wu Shoushi's black pistol.
"Wubei 7, there are still five bullets." Shang Jian Yaolue identified and hung the gun on the armed belt.
The bullet was 7.62mm, not the same as the ones they set out with.
As for the automatic rifle that Wu Shoushi carried when he first met them, I don't know where it went.
After the search, Shang Jianyao put the clothes back on Wu Shoushi.
"Let's go." Qiao Chu saw no clues and urged impatiently.
Jiang Baimian and others did not object, and followed him out of the house on the street.
Shang Jianyao walked at the end, looked up, jumped up suddenly, and pulled down the metal door.
In the sound of clattering, the house was closed.
"What's the use of this? The 'Unintentional' will open the door. At that time, this is their food." Qiao Chu couldn't help but said, and then said solemnly, "Keep up!"
Shang Jianyao didn't have any other behavior, followed behind the team, continued to hold the gun, and trotted away somewhere in the city ruins in the deep night.
