Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 73: Style Destroyer

Views:

The sudden depression disappeared quickly, and Jiang Baimian and others quickly returned to normal.

Although Long Yuehong is still afraid and doesn't want to go deeper into the "Urban Intelligence Network Control Center", she feels that she can still take a risk for Qiao Chu, who is as good as an angel.

Because Qiao Chu had to wear a military exoskeleton device, he had already removed the mechanical watch and put it in his pocket. However, this did not affect his knowing what time, minutes and seconds it was, because the goggles that doubled as a display screen had corresponding signs. time.

He glanced at the lower right corner of the goggles, silently calculated the time when "Charm" was about to mutate, and hurriedly urged:

"Let's go to the underground machine room."

This time, Shang Jianyao and others no longer had any objections, and followed the special commissioner of the Eighth Research Institute, bypassing the pool, and came to the front of the building where the "Urban Intelligence Network Control Center" was located.

The door here is made of glass. It has been opened for some time, or it has not been closed since the destruction of the old world. In short, the vast and dark hall inside is directly revealed.

Qiao Chu was not in a hurry to go in, and used the "integrated early warning system" to observe the outside for ten or twenty seconds.

Then, he bent slightly and rushed to the elevator.

Jiang Baimian and others followed closely, always maintaining a tactical formation.

During this process, there was only the sound of the metal skeleton colliding with the ground, and the sound of their footsteps that were not heavy. There was no other movement, and there was a dead silence.

Soon, they reached the elevator.

There are three gray-black elevators on the left and right sides.

Of course, none of this can be used because there is no electricity.

Qiao Chu's goal was not the elevator, but the door of the safe passage next to him.

The vermilion wooden door has been a little rotten, and it is quietly closed at this time, I don't know if it is locked or not.

Bai Chen was about to take a few steps forward and help Qiao Chu open the door when a strange realization suddenly occurred in his heart.

Behind that door, there is something very precious that must be obtained!

This gave her an uncontrollable strong desire and urge to open the door immediately, rush to the predetermined position, and pick up the item.

Not only her, but Qiao Chu, Long Yuehong and others also felt the same way and couldn't wait to approach the door.

Jiang Baimian frowned slightly and shouted loudly:

"Do you still remember what Wu Shoushi's teammates described?"

She refers to the "higher unintentional ones" who create temptations and set traps.

It is precisely because she remembered this matter that she was not completely blinded, and was able to resist that inexplicable cognition to a certain extent.

Her feet are eager to try to move forward, her body is already in a charge posture, but she is still firmly stuck in place, without taking a step.

Her words awakened a little rationality in Qiao Chu and the others, causing them to struggle for a while, and did not open the door directly.

At this time, Shang Jianyao, the last party, had already run over, but instead of continuing, he stopped beside Jiang Baimian.

"I think there are secrets that can save all mankind." He said seriously, "But this kind of secrets must be protected by layers, and there are many dangers hidden around."

For a while, Jiang Baimian didn't know whether to roll his eyes or praise him.

"We have to be careful and not be reckless." Shang Jianyao followed this line of thought and thought for two seconds.

Then, he jumped in front of an elevator, and with the help of the mirror effect of the metal and the moonlight and stars shining through the window, he saw his image that was not clear enough.

While looking at himself, Shang Jianyao said:

"Jiang Baimian has long legs, and so do I.

"Jiang Baimian is very powerful, and so am I.

"so?"

He did not know when his eyes had become deep, his mouth opened, and he whispered to himself:

"So, we are the same."

During this process, Qiao Chu originally wanted to stop it, but on the one hand, he had to fight against the inexplicable and strong desire, and he was distracted. On the other hand, he felt that Shang Jianyao could make some different changes and break the current situation. , So, in the end, I chose to be prepared and stand on the sidelines.

After "deceiving" himself, Shang Jianyao turned his head and looked at Jiang Baimian.

His eyes grew darker.

Jiang Baimian suddenly had a strong thought in his heart:

"Although I am desperate for the item behind the door and want to get it, I must not be so eager to say it directly, it will make me humiliated!"

In a flash of thought, Jiang Baimian half turned his body and stomped his foot gently:

"You're going to go, I'm not going."

Shang Jianyao followed and turned to the same place, and also stomped his foot gently:

"You're going to go, I'm not going."

Seeing this scene, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong felt weird, stunned, and funny.

For a while, the strong desire in their hearts was diluted a lot.

Jiang Baimian, who was still in a hypocritical state, glared at Shang Jianyao:

"Why do you want to learn from me?"

"Why do you want to learn from me?" Shang Jianyao imitated his eyes, language and micro-expressions vividly.

At this time, Jiang Baimian's hypocritical state receded.

Recalling the scenes just now, she couldn't help laughing:

"You want to fight against that inexplicable cognition and desire by laughing at us to death?"

"You want to fight against that inexplicable cognition and desire by laughing at us to death?" Shang Jianyao laughed along with him.

Qiao Chu saw the corners of his mouth move slightly, and subconsciously wanted to warn them in a low voice to make them more serious.

This is the intelligent network center in the ruins of the city. There are dangers everywhere, and the dead silence is so creepy. How can there be fighting and laughter

Jiang Baimian thought about it for two seconds and said with a smile:

"I have long hair and you have short hair."

"My hair is very long..." Shang Jianyao repeated here, suddenly unable to continue.

His eyes returned to normal.

"Take this opportunity," he said immediately.

Jiang Baimian suddenly woke up, and before that inexplicable desire could erode him again, he quickly walked to the front of the vermillion red wooden door.

"Go to both sides." She instructed Bai Chen, Long Yuehong and others, while probing the rusted metal handle.

After waiting for a few seconds, Jiang Baimian twisted the handle abruptly and opened the door.

Without any gap, she jumped and rolled and hid beside the elevator.

Bang bang bang! Da da da!

Continuous gunshots came from below and above the stairs, and a storm of bullets enveloped the space at the entrance to the safe passage.

If Long Yuehong and others recklessly opened the door, they would have been beaten into a sieve now.

- Qiao Chu was controlled by that strong and eerie desire, and completely forgot to use the "integrated early warning system" that comes with the exoskeleton device.

At the sound of the gunshots, Jiang Baimian took off the tactical grenade hanging on the armed belt, prepared to tear off the pull ring, and threw it at the gate of the safe passage.

She had calculated the trajectory and wanted to use the rebound of the wall to let the grenade fall down the stairs.

It was at this point that the shooting stopped.

Jiang Baimian silently hung up the tactical grenade, holding a grenade gun in one hand and "United 202" in the other, and focused on sensing various electrical signals in the safe passage.

"The 'intentional ones' above have retreated, and there is interference below. The signal is not so clear, but there are at most two left..." Soon, Jiang Baimian gave the information.

At this time, the inexplicable cognition and desire that there are precious things hidden in the safe passage and must be obtained as soon as possible have disappeared, and Qiao Chu has completely returned to normal.

Relying on the exoskeleton device and the "integrated early warning system", he rolled and entered the safe passage.

In the depths of the stairs leading to the underground computer room, a figure was looking up.

This is a woman with a relatively young appearance and neat facial features, but her eyes are more white than black, rather cloudy and bloodshot.

She was about 1.65 meters tall, and was wearing a shriveled white down jacket, which was much cleaner from top to bottom than other "unintentional people".

She stood quietly in the deeper darkness, like a ghost wandering in the night, silently watching the target she wanted to kill.

If it weren't for the "integrated early warning system", Qiao Chu couldn't see her face at all.

Before Qiao Chu launched the grenade, the "unintentional" pressed one hand, jumped straight down, and disappeared into the depths of the stairs.

"Is it the 'high-level unintentional person' that Wu Shoushi and the others met?" Jiang Baimian approached the entrance and asked.

Qiao Chu nodded lightly and said:

"Um."

"Huh, sure enough." Jiang Baimian sighed.

At this time, Long Yuehong sighed like the rest of her life after the robbery:

"Fortunately, the 'Unintentional' have no IQ. If they just shot directly and didn't wait for us to open the door, we would be at least half dead."

The vermilion-colored wooden door could not stop the bullets.

But in the eyes of the "unintentional" who follow instinct, it seems that obstacles can only be obstacles, and they must wait to be cleared.

"Don't say such things now, it's unlucky." Bai Chen glanced sideways at Long Yuehong.

Hearing words such as "lucky", "unlucky", "unlucky" and "fate", Long Yuehong was always very sensitive, and she closed her mouth tightly.

Qiao Chu glanced at the dark staircase ahead and said in a deep voice:

"Go down."

He paused and then commanded:

"You go ahead."

Time to play the bait.
