The man wearing the ripped plush hat was talking, and suddenly he couldn't control his voice:
"He won't be an aberrant creature, will he?"
He had a fresh memory of the previous encounter and was full of fear. Once he found the corresponding signs, he would inevitably think in a similar direction.
"He is obviously wise enough, definitely not an 'unintentional person', and he also looks like a human." An Ruxiang denied his companion's guess without hesitation.
"What if he is a monster, just to make us 'feel' like a human being? Think about it, the previous 'high-level unintentional person' didn't take out anything, and let us think that she has something very precious in her that must be obtained. Items." The man in the ripped plush hat retorted slightly faster.
An Ruxiang couldn't explain it, she thought for a while and said:
"Indeed, there is this possibility. However, there is another possibility:
"He is an Awakener, and one of his abilities is charming."
The man in the ripped plush hat thought about it carefully:
"When you say this, I think it's really possible, hehe, the Awakened are similar to the distorted creatures in my heart, no, they are more terrifying and weirder than most of the distorted creatures, it should be said, and we are this time. Pretty much what happened.”
Most of the aberrant creatures are closer to the residents of Black Marsh Iron Snake and Black Rat Town, and some parts of their bodies have changed, bringing certain and completely understandable enhancements.
Hearing her companion's words, An Ruxiang couldn't help recalling this encounter.
After several hours have passed, with her experience and determination, she is still a little unable to get out.
It was like a real nightmare that never woke up.
An Ruxiang took a breath and exhaled it slowly, looking back at the street where she came from:
"Could they be charmed too
"I remember when I met them for the first time in the wilderness, there were only four of them, and there was no man who was suspected of being an Awakened.
"Would you like to remind them?"
The man wearing the ripped plush hat immediately shook his head and said:
"It's too dangerous!"
An Ruxiang pondered for a few seconds and said:
"They told us about the situation of Shoushi, and returned the most important items to us, and they also put the body of Shoushi in a closed room to prevent the 'unintentional' from finding out soon, and eating him...
"For me, it is a heavy human feeling, a 'thing' that is worth a lot of things."
"Didn't you also share the information with them?" The man in the ripped plush hat tried his best to stop him, "Don't think about it, that person is wearing a military exoskeleton device, and even if he is not an Awakened, he can easily kill us! "
An Ruxiang nodded:
"Don't worry, I won't take the risk, I have to take Shou Shi's body back.
"It hasn't been long, and they're not too far away from us. I'm going to be right here and shout a few words. As for whether they can hear it, and whether they can understand the situation after hearing it, it's not something I can control. "
"Shouting here?" The man in the ripped woolen hat looked around, "Okay, I'll help you shout, and leave immediately after calling."
An Ruxiang turned around, hung up the black pistol, folded her hands into a trumpet shape, and brought them to her mouth.
The next second, her sharp and high-pitched voice rang out:
"He's charming!
"Be careful to be controlled by him!"
…
Long Yuehong carried the "Berzy Warrior" assault rifle and trotted to the left of the team while guarding the corresponding area.
After listening to An Ruxiang's narration and team leader Bai Chen's discussion, he was even more afraid of this exploration. Whether it's forced sleep, real nightmares, or irresistible traps, it's a bit beyond his ability, making him instinctively feel that this is not something he can handle.
If he hadn't seen Shang Jianyao's "reasoning clown" and mechanical monk Jingfa's "hungry ghost", Long Yuehong felt that he might have collapsed now.
The unstoppable fear kept growing in Long Yuehong's heart, making him unable to bear to scrutinize this action.
Why take such a big risk... Didn't the team leader say that until we truly adapt to life in the dirt and accumulate enough experience, he won't take us to places that are too dangerous... It really should help Qiao Chu, as long as he can deal with me The impression is a little better... But, but, is it worth it, I'm not married yet... While trotting, Long Yuehong looked at the figure wearing the exoskeleton device at the front, and fell into a strong struggle in her heart.
Looking at it, he suddenly felt sad:
I am only 1.75 meters tall after genetic modification, and I am average in appearance. My grades in various subjects are only average, and I have been assigned to the most dangerous group in the Ministry of Security. I can be called the son of bad luck. Forget it, it's better to give up voluntarily...
give up…
Long Yuehong's eyes gradually became confused, as if she had caught something wrong and couldn't tell.
At this time, there was an intermittent voice in the wind:
"Charm... Be careful... Control..."
The sound was very sharp, but because of the distance, it seemed very unclear.
Jiang Baimian then slowed down his pace, slightly turned his head and said:
"What is this calling?"
"I only heard 'be careful'." Shang Jianyao replied solemnly, "It seems that someone is offering us good wishes."
In the next second, another voice came from the wind:
"Charm... Be careful... Control..."
This time, a high-pitched male voice sounded.
"Control..." Bai Chen tried his best to distinguish.
Qiao Chu, who was at the forefront of the team, changed his face slightly, and said in a deep voice:
"No more delay, let's go."
"Okay." Jiang Baimian couldn't refuse.
The group of five trotted again.
Long Yuehong is on the left side of the team, and the voice he just heard is always circling in his mind:
"Careful... Control...
"Careful control
"Carefully controlled..."
He was startled, vaguely aware that there was something wrong with the current situation.
He subconsciously turned his head and looked at Shang Jianyao, the best-connected person in the team.
In the trot room, he saw Shang Jianyao's mouth grinning wide, and he returned a bright smile to himself.
What does he mean... Long Yuehong tried to understand Shang Jianyao's idea, but failed.
He turned to think about the bits and pieces along the way, trying to find clues about the problem.
Two or three minutes later, they walked around a building and saw their destination "sunk" in the dark.
It was a hundred-meter-high building with its own large courtyard, and it was extremely quiet inside.
Because there were still two or three hundred meters, Shang Jianyao and others couldn't see what was written on the plaque lying on the ground at the gate of the courtyard.
At this moment, Qiao Chu, who was at the forefront, suddenly stopped.
Immediately afterwards, he leaned back and fell to the ground with the sound of metal collisions.
Jiang Baimian and others looked at this scene in amazement, and subconsciously moved closer to confirm the problem.
Almost at the same time, the exoskeleton device made a beep beep sound, and all the auxiliary joints shook in unison.
Qiao Chu's body moved, and he slowly got up.
At this time, Jiang Baimian seemed to have noticed something. Holding a grenade gun, he pulled the trigger over a sidewalk tree.
Boom!
A ball of fire expanded rapidly, revealing the ignited tree canopy and a figure leaping into a building on the street.
It was a cat-shaped creature with a length of one meter. It seemed that there was no hair or skin on the body, and the blood-red "muscles" were directly exposed.
Its tail seems to come from a scorpion, covered with a brown hard shell and has barbs; its shoulders are decorated with clusters of white bone spurs; its head seems to have four ears.
No matter how you look at it, this is not a normal creature.
The monster leaped into a room on the second floor and narrowly avoided the explosion of the grenade. Then, it ran quickly, broke away from Jiang Baimian's sensing range, and disappeared into the depths of the building on the street.
At this point, Qiao Chu had returned to normal and stood up again.
He glanced at the direction in which the monster disappeared, and said in a deep voice:
"I just fell asleep.
"Fortunately, the sensor wake-up function of this exoskeleton device is good."
"Is that a monster that forces people to fall asleep?" Bai Chen immediately responded.
"It looks like a deformed creature." Jiang Baimian made a judgment.
Qiao Chu did not try to chase the cat-shaped monster, but pointed to the destination and said:
"Let's go."
Shang Jianyao was the first to express his position and strode towards the tall building with its own courtyard.
Jiang Baimian and others quickly followed.
"Do you want to give it a name?" Shang Jianyao asked suddenly while running.
"Who?" Jiang Baimian was a little at a loss.
"That monster just now." Shang Jianyao said seriously, "Call it a ghost cat?"
"It's so ugly." Jiang Baimian subconsciously denied, "It's called Anmian Cat!"
While talking, they reached their destination and came to the gate of the courtyard.
With the help of the slightly weak starlight and moonlight, they could clearly see the black plaque lying on the ground.
The plaque is made of stone and doesn't look too dirty, as if it was often washed by rain or "maintained" by someone.
None of the gold characters on its surface fell off, all of them were written in grey soil.
These words form a term that Long Yuehong has never heard of:
"Urban Intelligent Network Control Center"
"What place is this?" Long Yuehong blurted out.
Jiang Baimian explained a little:
"In some cities, water pipelines, natural gas pipelines, electric wires, optical fibers, and other miscellaneous things are integrated together to form a huge smart pipe network.
"The one who controls this pipe network is the City Intelligence Network Center."
"Then... why are we here?" Long Yuehong became more and more puzzled.
At this time, Qiao Chu, who was wearing an exoskeleton device, said indifferently:
"Around the ruins of the city, there is a hydroelectric power station that is still in operation and is being 'maintained'. Inside the ruins of the city, many lines have also been 'maintained' and are well maintained.
"All we need to do is go into the control center and turn the power back on."
"Why power on?" Jiang Baimian asked subconsciously.
Qiao Chu was silent for two seconds and said:
"To open all the doors of a laboratory."
