Under the slightly gloomy sky, the green buildings that climbed up and stretched along the cracked road to the distance, like tombstones standing silently in a dead cemetery.
Shang Jianyao, who was wearing a military exoskeleton, and Genava, who was wearing a "chameleon" bionic intelligent armor, walked side by side at a distance, and there was only the sound of wind in his ears.
Shang Jianyao turned his head, looked around through the helmet mask, and said with great interest:
"Dark sky, abandoned buildings, empty roads, one person and one robot walking into the unknown... This is the smell of the doomsday scene in the old world entertainment materials..."
After two days of traveling, the "Old Tune Team" arrived at Koningmis, and then, according to the predetermined plan, sent Shang Jianyao and Genava, who were carrying the "Angel of Life" necklace, into this area to do early reconnaissance, hoping It is possible to figure out the root cause of the "no heart disease" virus residue here.
What does Genava, who is currently a large chameleon, say:
"One more dog."
"Also, there is no dog. With a lonely man and a robot alone, there is still a little less feeling, the feeling of a wasteland." Shang Jianyao recognized his mistake.
He immediately fell into contemplation:
"But I can't find a dog for a while..."
After a full twenty or thirty seconds, Shang Jianyao made a voice:
"Wang Wang Wang!"
"It's all over now!" he said with satisfaction.
Genova has established a database of business behaviors and has certain predictions for this development.
He was more puzzled by another question:
"Why did it take you so long to decide to play the dog yourself
"I thought you didn't care about the so-called face of this relationship at all, and you could make a decision on the spot."
Shang Jianyao smiled and said:
"We're having a democratic consultation and voting to decide who should fill this role, and it's taking a little bit of time."
"Understood." Genova enriched his business behavior database.
Shang Jianyao looked up at the sky, completely forgetting what topic he was discussing just now:
"Lao Ge, do you think that the closer you get to the main city of Koningmis, the darker the sky will be?"
Konimis is surrounded by mountains on three sides, blocking the cold current from the south, and the climate is much warmer than other parts of the ice sheet. At this season, the snow has already melted, and it has merged into a trickle, and the earth has grown. Light green, a new scene.
This should have been a very beautiful scene, but for some reason, the place is always gloomy and there is no sunlight, which makes people feel depressing, like the end of the day.
Genavar moved his metal neck up and down:
"Have."
On the edge of Konimis, where the "Old Tunes Group" camped, this darkness was only equivalent to a cloudy day, and when it was near the main city, there was already a feeling of dark clouds.
"It doesn't seem to be my hallucination, this kind of darkness is related to the 'New World'." Shang Jianyao lowered one hand, wrapped around the "Angel of Life" necklace, covered the metal bones with the other hand, and held the "Berzy Warrior" assault rifle.
He said happily:
"The next thing is easy, we can just go to the darkest place to find it, that is definitely the root cause of the problem!"
"Your reasoning is too taken for granted, and it lacks sufficient conditions." The honest Genava replied, "Maybe it's just about to rain heavily, maybe the whole city is in the same environment."
Shang Jianyao confidently taught his companions:
"Lao Ge, have you forgotten our group's motto
"Bold assumptions, be careful to verify!"
"This is Dabai's mantra, not the group's motto." Genova remembered it clearly.
Shang Jianyao, who couldn't fool the past, said "ha":
"Da Bai is my role model!"
"That's fine." Genova already knew a little bit about what it means to be enough.
He looked at the buildings in the main city that were getting closer and closer, and reminded seriously:
"Hey, you have to be careful, 'Innocent Disease' may infect you at any time.
"Why don't you let me come in to investigate first, and then decide whether to find out the source of the problem after understanding the general situation?"
Intelligent robots are not afraid of "innocence".
"Because I'll come in regardless of whether you detect anything useful or not." Shang Jianyao seemed to answer that this season is suitable for a spring outing.
Without waiting for Genava to say that you can wait until you have done a preliminary reconnaissance before entering Konimis, Shang Jianyao added with a smile:
"And I'm not worried about getting infected."
Genova, who was wearing the "Chameleon" bionic intelligent armor, turned his head to look at this guy.
Shang Jianyao raised his right hand holding the Berserker assault rifle, and said in a low voice:
"The long night is long, the life is blessed!"
He tried to shake off the "Angel of Life" necklace wrapped around his left wrist, but stopped because that hand was paralyzed.
The red light in Genova's eyes flickered a few times, and then he asked:
"Hey, do you think your father is still alive?"
Shang Jianyao was silent for a while and said:
"I always thought he wasn't going home for no reason, something must have happened to him and I need to look into it."
Genova stepped over the cracked concrete floor due to freezing and drying year after year, and changed the question:
"Then do you think you can find your father's whereabouts or related clues in Konimis?"
Shang Jianyao laughed:
"After joining the 'Old Tune Group', I held that belief wherever I went."
The red light in Genova's eyes flickered a few more times:
"Your carbon-based people's feelings are indeed richer, more varied and more subtle than our intelligent people's."
He glanced at the dark sky and the deadly towering buildings in front of him, and then asked:
"Where do you think the clues are most likely?"
Shang Jianyao smiled and said:
"The most dangerous place.
"Since the 8th Institute's commissioner said that the disaster of Konimis originated from the team investigating the cause of the destruction of the old world, then the center of the disaster must be where they investigated a certain truth or where they last appeared."
"This is an idea." Genova affirmed first, then asked, "But what if it was just a slander by the special commissioner of the Eighth Academy?"
Shang Jianyao looked sideways at his companions:
"Isn't that a good thing?"
Gnavalho analyzed and understood what Shang Jianyao wanted to express.
He was about to say something else when he suddenly detected a little anomaly.
"There is blood there, no more than two weeks ago." Genava pointed to the intersection into the main city of Konimmis.
Below a clump of weeds beside the road, there are some black marks.
Dangdang, Shang Jianyao was paralyzed with one hand, and could only use the "Berzy Warrior" assault rifle to collide with the chest armor to create applause.
"I didn't find out." He was very honest and calm.
Even with the assistance of the "Comprehensive Early Warning System" of the military exoskeleton device, even if he has always been sharp and clear, he is still no match for an out-and-out intelligent robot in similar detection.
"There are no corpses nearby, but there are certain signs of fighting, not too intense." While checking, Genova reported the results of his findings and analysis.
"Hmm." Shang Jian Yao nodded again and again, "What do you think is the situation?"
Red light flashed twice in Genova's eyes:
"Neither guns were used on either side of the fight, and I think the biggest possibility is the infighting between the 'unintentional'.
"There should be a small number of 'unintentional' living in this ruins, and the remaining materials seem to be insufficient."
After all, there used to be hundreds of thousands of "unintentional ones" in Konimis.
"'Unintentional' ah..." Shang Jianyao was a little disappointed.
Then, he pointed to the city:
"Go, go to the most dangerous place!"
…
The intersection of the Western Mountains and Konimeth.
The Jeep of the "Old Key Group" is parked in a wood, hiding itself with the help of natural protective colors.
Jiang Baimian stood on the front hood of the vehicle, holding a telescope, observing the distant villages, roads and the edge of the city.
- The main city of Konimeth is located to the west.
Long Yuehong and Bai Chen stood aside, guarding against accidents.
After a while, Long Yuehong broke the speechless silence:
"Team leader, why don't you stop Shang Jianyao?"
"This should be the one thing he insists on the most besides saving all mankind." Jiang Baimian sighed slowly.
She paused and said:
"Besides, since we've worked so hard to get here, the existence behind the scenes shouldn't just watch us get killed by 'innocence'. With the corresponding items, people from the Eighth Research Institute can enter , we can probably do it too.”
Those existences refer to the old bosses, "yougu" and so on.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Baimian suddenly saw a dark shadow flash past in an abandoned village.
She had already anticipated the existence of "unintentional people" and wild creatures in Koningmis, and was not surprised, but simply informed Bai Chen and Long Yuehong about the situation:
"I saw a rather large black cat."
"Cat creatures..." Bai Chen pursed his lips and said, "I have seen it in that ice and snow ruins, but the fur is white."
Encounter the ice and snow ruins of the "Rootless" team.
Jiang Baimian frowned and said to himself:
"Wouldn't this be too coincidental..."
