Davis also didn't want to talk about the danger he and others brought to the entire camp.
Although their team is very strong, they even dared to go to the ruins of No. 9 in the Scarlet Wasteland, and they were able to retreat completely, but they couldn't hold back the large number of hunters around them. With outnumbered enemies, even if they could fight, they couldn't withstand being attacked. Set fire in the distance.
At this time, Davis had gotten rid of the influence of forgetfulness, and recalled the following:
"That necklace was found on the Upper East Side of Ruin 9."
"Upper East District?" Shang Jianyao suppressed the loss of being unable to walk upside down, and asked questions cooperatively.
Davis simply replied:
"The map of the city found in the ruins is marked by many people who have explored it as dangerous."
"But the harvest will also be great?" Jiang Baimian brought the topic back to the right track without a trace.
Davis nodded:
"really.
"We found an apartment on the Upper East Side that had not been set foot on by hunters before. In the room on the left side of the eleventh floor, there were several corpses. They were either sitting on the sofa or lying on the bed in the bedroom. , the flesh and blood have completely rotted and evaporated, leaving only a white bone.
"The necklace was placed in front of the corpse on the sofa."
"Why are you sure that the flesh of those corpses rotted and evaporated by themselves, instead of being eaten by the 'unintentional'?" The honest Shang Jianyao dutifully found loopholes.
Davis glanced at him and said in a slightly stiff tone:
"As an experienced relic hunter, these are two situations that can be distinguished at a glance.
"First, the clothes of those corpses were only somewhat rotten, relatively intact, and not torn apart; second, there was no trace of blood splashing in the entire room..."
Suddenly, Jiang Baimian interjected:
"So, what was the cause of death of those corpses?"
The ruins of No. 9 in the Scarlet Wasteland obviously have not been bombed, and are well preserved in all aspects, and there is no serious radiation pollution residue. In this case, the city residents are likely to die because of being attacked by the "unintentional", a small part of the reason In the process of competing for food, they were poisoned by the same kind.
"I think it was suicide," Davis replied.
He clearly thought about it at the time, and said it coherently:
"The door lock in that room had not been broken before, and it was tightly closed, as if outsiders had come in.
"The postures of several corpses are not so twisted...
"I suspect that the few people in the room wanted to go out to find food, but found that there were 'unintentional people' everywhere, so they had to shrink back. After that, their strong hunger and despair made them completely collapse and gave up their lives. "
"Have you checked the refrigerator and freezer?" Jiang Baimian asked.
Davis' expression was a little confused at first, then changed obviously, and looked sideways at his companions.
His companions also showed fear and panic on their faces, as if they remembered something extraordinary.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Davis said blankly:
"There are still a lot of boxed beef in the large-capacity freezer in the room..."
This means that those who died did not collapse due to starvation.
Jiang Baimian followed:
"If they were a family, facing the destruction of the old world, completely broken down, and trying to kill themselves, they should be together and be with each other, not in one place."
"Yeah." Shang Jianyao agreed.
"The most important thing is that we have been ignoring the situation of the freezer... As soon as we entered that room, we were affected by the necklace?" Davis whispered in fear.
They finally chose to take the necklace with the cross pendant, as if possessed by an evil spirit.
It's not surprising that strange things happened near the node of "New World"... Jiang Baimian looked around and found that the surrounding ruin hunters had been attracted by this story and briefly forgot the previous anomaly.
On the one hand, they were nervous and alert, on the other hand, they were curious about the next development.
Jiang Baimian lived up to expectations and asked a question that most people want to know:
"What else did you gain in that room?"
Davis and several of his companions did not dare to answer directly, and they lacked confidence in their memory.
After thinking about it for a while and pondering the details, Davis said:
"Like normal exploration, I took away gold with relatively high value, easy-to-carry electronic items, books with practical knowledge, and clothes that were not seriously deteriorated..."
In the current era, although most of the electronic items in the ruins of the city have been damaged and cannot be used, they are disassembled and selected, and some electronic components that are barely intact can still be found, which is relatively valuable.
Moreover, some electronic items may still be used if they are repaired. Even if all electronic components are broken, there is no shortage of market for them to be sold as waste. After all, these highly crystalline products of old world technology contain precious metals, including some There are very few alloys that can be imitated by power today.
While talking, Davis made a clever move:
"We also took the phone from the corpse.
"There is the corpse of the necklace in front of you."
"Is the phone still there?" Jiang Baimian tried hard not to light up his eyes.
Davis nodded:
"We plan to bring back the Prime City trade."
"Can you sell it to us?" Jiang Baimian smiled.
She didn't choose to intimidate, deceive, cheat, etc. After all, in front of so many people, she had to pay attention.
Seeing Davis hesitated, Shang Jianyao said earnestly:
"As you should have noticed, we have experience dealing with similar things.
"To tell you frankly, the danger of this kind of thing is far beyond your imagination, and it is not within your grasp. Forcible participation will only lead to the destruction of the group."
Davis was about to say "Okay, no problem, I'll sell it to you", Shang Jianyao has further said:
"Would you like to know what the end result would have been if that necklace hadn't been thrown away?"
"What?" Davis asked instinctively.
All the surrounding ruin hunters turned their attention to Shang Jianyao.
Jiang Baimian's first reaction wanted to cover his face, no, slap that guy, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was a good thing to tell everyone about the possible ending.
As the "Old Tune Group" whose mission is to save all mankind, it is their duty to remind everyone not to touch the items related to the "New World".
Let tragedy be less together and be together!
Shang Jianyao solemnly answered Davis' question:
"Initially, the abnormality caused by the necklace will only last for a while, and then it will return to normal.
"But after this time and time again, the danger will accumulate to a critical point. At that time, most of the people present will be infected with 'innocence', and only a few people will survive, just like when the old world was just destroyed!"
Hearing the "innocence disease", the shadow that has shrouded all human beings for decades, all the relic hunters present took a deep breath. They were very fortunate that they had met a team that could handle similar things this time. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Davis was so frightened that he quickly picked up the denim backpack next to him and took out a mobile phone from it.
Immediately afterwards, he hurriedly threw the phone to Shang Jianyao as if he was holding a "innocent" virus or a hot baked potato.
"Give it to you!" He tried his best to be airy.
The champagne-gold phone had no signs of damage, but looked old. Shang Jianyao took it and played with it, and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, it's not abnormal."
With the string of "Six Consciousness Pearls" hanging on his feet, he can confirm whether there is "darkness".
Jiang Baimian took out a few 1 Ole banknotes and handed them to Davis.
She smiled and said:
"No, we advocate fair trade, and we have always been clear about money and goods."
Seeing that Davis wanted to be polite, she added:
"If you don't accept it, I'll return the phone to you."
Davies was startled and quickly took the banknotes.
After asking for a while, and after finding no clues, Jiang Baimian returned to his jeep with Shang Jianyao and Genava.
Because the "Six Consciousness Beads" would hinder walking on his legs, but would not affect running upside down, Shang Jianyao tried to replace his feet with his hands again, but Jiang Baimian glared back and put away the prop in embarrassment.
Bai Chen and Long Yuehong also listened to the conversation between their teammates and Davis just now, and had a general understanding of what happened. At this time, the former glanced left and right, and said in a low voice:
"Let Lao Ge try to restore the data on the phone?"
Jiang Baimian pondered for a while and said:
"After dawn, leave this gathering point and try again in a deserted place."
"Okay." After analysis, Genova thought that this was the most reasonable and safe choice.
On the other side, Shang Jian Yao rubbed his chin and said to himself:
"So it seems likely that the 'chaos' on the cruise ship really has something to do with the 'New World' node.
"I plan to transfer the breath from the 'Six Senses Pearl' or the 'Angel of Life' necklace to the 'Spiritual Corridor', and take one of them to the cruise ship to find out the specific location of the 'New World' node."
By analogy, he has a new idea of what to do next with the shadow of a cruise ship.
He is no longer limited to breaking through the psychological shadow, but to lift the veil of "chaos" and find out the truth of the matter!
Jiang Baimian nodded:
"There is no problem with the idea, but I still say the same thing: After dawn, leave this gathering point and try again in the wasteland where there are no people.
"Also, you are now mentally exhausted and need sleep to recover."
Shang Jianyao showed a longing expression:
"When is dawn..."
