Hearing Jiang Baimian's words, Long Yuehong not only felt a sudden realization, but also seemed to fall into a dream.
He couldn't help but look around again, and he couldn't connect the "unintentional" who were conscientiously sweeping leaves and wiping windows with the inherent image in his mind.
On the way to the "Urban Intelligence Network Control Center", the "Old Tune Group" did not encounter the "unintentional ones" in the ruins. Like their counterparts outside, they are fierce, irrational, full of aggressiveness, and have a strong hunting ability. Instinct seems to have degenerated to the stage when human beings just got rid of the beast state.
At that time, if someone told Long Yuehong that the "unintentional people" here would sweep the floor, clean the windows, and maintain the lines, he would certainly scoff at it and regard it as a joke.
And now, the scene was playing out in front of his eyes so real.
At a glance, the street lights in the distance are continuous, and there are many people. I don't know how many "unintentional people" returned to the street after the city was "lit" again, came to the window, and did various things.
They are no longer vicious, they no longer regard Long Yuehong and others as prey, and "follow the rules" and earnestly complete their work, making the entire city appear different from the previous prosperity.
At this moment, Long Yuehong had a feeling that they seemed to be in another world. The two sides coexisted peacefully and could not establish contact.
As his thoughts turned, he heard Jiang Baimian sigh:
"It's like a silhouette projected from the past from the old world..."
"Why do they sweep floors, wipe windows, maintain exterior walls and streets?" Shang Jianyao asked suddenly.
Long Yuehong replied subconsciously:
"Maybe it's some kind of instinct, that's what they did in the old world, and after they became 'mindless', it solidified into an instinct..."
As he spoke, Long Yuehong's voice gradually decreased until it disappeared.
He also found that his explanation was untenable, because the old world had been destroyed for nearly 70 years, and the "unintentional people" here have changed for generations, and there are still those who once lived and worked in the old world.
Finally, he forcibly added:
"That instinct, through the demonstration and teaching of parents, has been carried on from generation to generation.
"The descendants of the repairmen are still repairing equipment, and the descendants of the cleaners are still cleaning the streets..."
Jiang Baimian laughed and said before Shang Jianyao spoke:
"Don't engrave all the messy things into your genes, it will cause the body to collapse.
"Teaching is indeed possible, but at best it's useful for simple, repetitive tasks."
Bai Chen looked around and said thoughtfully:
"After many generations of reproduction, the current 'unintentional ones' have been able to learn more complex things? No, even if they can learn it, the previous generations will not. The corresponding technology must have been lost..."
"Someone may be teaching them and instilling some 'instinct' in them." Shang Jianyao looked back and said his guess.
Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen also remembered Xiaochong, the weird and mysterious boy from before, and they couldn't refute Shang Jianyao's statement for a while.
During the discussion just now, they all walked a few steps across the street, wanting to see the silhouettes behind the bright windows more clearly.
A few seconds later, Long Yuehong looked at the "unintended people" who were cleaning the streets, repairing branches, and walking to other places in the distance, and said with emotion:
"Is this the city scene of the old world
"That's how people lived and worked back then
"The night was so brightly lit, as if the stars were reflected on the ground?"
Because of these words, Jiang Baimian raised his head again and looked at the opposite building.
On every floor, more than one-third of the windows are glowing yellow or whitish, and "people" come and go, or clean the windows, "watch" TV, or coax "children." ", or chopping the cutting board, although no sound came out, Jiang Baimian intuitively felt "lively" and "prosperous".
At this moment, she seemed to have returned to decades ago, when the old world had not yet been destroyed, and she could smell the breath of life.
As his eyes kept moving upwards, Jiang Baimian's pupils suddenly enlarged.
She saw a red dot shaking at the top of a tall building not far away.
This appears to be from a sniper rifle.
"Hide forward!" Jiang Baimian shouted loudly, and jumped to the side of the road with his jumping belt and hid in an open house.
With a snap, where she stood just now, the hard ground splashed with rubble.
Thanks to their previous experience, Shang Jianyao, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong did not doubt the order of the team leader at all. Network Control Center" in the street-facing house opposite the side door.
With two snaps, two more bullets shot from the top of different buildings and got into the ground.
After Jiang Baimian hid with his back against the wall in the room, he took off the walkie-talkie, pressed the button, and said in a hurried tone:
"There are snipers on at least three rooftops around.
"This style of coming to the source of the anomaly but not going in, just lying in ambush around, reminds me of a person.
"'hyena'!"
This is standard "Hyena" bandit style.
This is not to say that they are the only ones who like to use similar methods, but they are the most famous, and probably the only one, among the teams that haunt the surroundings and have at least three sniper rifles.
"This is too insidious, isn't it?" Long Yuehong blurted out, holding the walkie-talkie.
The "Hyena" robber group didn't want to explore the anomaly and find more valuable things, and only intended to deal with the evacuated ruin hunters.
"They're a band of robbers." Jiang Baimian responded with some amusing. "Fortunately, they were also dazzled by the changes in the city ruins after the power supply was restored, and they didn't deal with us immediately."
"But we were also affected by the changes in the ruins." Bai Chen simply explained.
"It may also be that they climbed more than 20 floors, and we came out before we could breathe. Moreover, we called and we can use the elevator." Shang Jianyao sighed inexplicably, "It's a pity..."
Long Yuehong is very tacit understanding:
"What a pity?"
"Unfortunately, I was attracted by the changes in the ruins at the time. Otherwise, I would dance a piece of Gold Coast Hula for them first." Shang Jianyao's tone revealed obvious regret.
"... Looking forward to such a day in the future." Jiang Baimian held the walkie-talkie and said casually, "The most important question now is, how to get out of the ambush of the 'hyena'? They must not only set up snipers."
"'Hyena', they have armored vehicles, heavy machine guns, and bazookas. After using snipers to control our range of activities, they should send people over to clean up." Bai Chen recalled all the news he had heard, and calmly gave the most possible development.
"What should I do?" Although Long Yuehong was not too panicked, he still felt that he and others were in danger.
Without the military exoskeleton device, they could not avoid heavy machine gun fire in such a limited range, and neither grenade guns, rifles, or grenades could break through the thick armor.
If the military exoskeleton device is still there, you can try it with an electromagnetic weapon.
Jiang Baimian was silent for a few seconds, and gave an order through the walkie-talkie:
"There must be no snipers in the building of the 'City Intelligence Network Control Center', and the 'Hyenas' do not dare to enter that area.
"So, we can go to the door and walk against the wall, which is their dead end.
"After finding the location in advance, when the armored vehicle comes over, Bai Chen immediately shoots the machine gunner and briefly suppresses him. If the fire control system of the armored vehicle is in good condition and the heavy machine gun can be operated in the vehicle, then I will try to give the shooting position. A 'Thunder Spear', in short, the purpose is to create an opportunity for Shang Jianyao to approach.
"Shang Jianyao, when you get to the bottom of the armored car, the distance between it and the people in the car is less than one meter. You can give full play to your abilities, and you don't have to worry about the threat of snipers."
Jiang Baimian named the attack of his electric eel-shaped biological prosthesis "Thunder Spear".
"Okay!" Shang Jianyao seemed to have wanted to do this for a long time.
Bai Chen also responded.
Long Yuehong listened quietly, and said silently for two seconds:
"what have I done?"
"You cheer me on." Shang Jianyao said seriously.
As soon as Shang Jianyao finished speaking, Jiang Baimian added another sentence:
"You are responsible for guarding the surrounding area, what if it's not just armored vehicles
"I'll give you the grenade gun later."
Long Yuehong immediately answered loudly:
"Yes, team leader!"
Jiang Baimian was about to say a few more words when he suddenly turned his head to the side, feeling a little bit.
"Come on! There is only one car on the street on the right." She quickly told Shang Jianyao and the others, and found a pair of metal scissors from the room.
The four members of the "Old Tunes Group" immediately returned to the door, moved against the wall, and headed to different locations.
During this process, they exchanged some weapons and prepared for the next.
Soon, the armored car appeared on the corner of the street.
It has three large wheels on one side, an armored finish in army green, a door on the side, and dark bulletproof glass on the front.
It is more than double the size of an ordinary vehicle, with an iron-black heavy machine gun on top and an antenna-like thing standing up.
Long Yuehong just glanced at it, and words such as "steel", "hardness", "strength", "crushing" and "indestructible" appeared in his mind.
At this moment, a pleasant music sounded from far to near, turning into the current street.
It was a big blue car with a giant metal can on it, with its lights on and music playing, as it sprayed water down the street.
In the driver's seat of the cart, an "unintentional person" in an old orange-white padded jacket sat there, steering the steering wheel somewhat rigidly.
His eyes were blank, and a picture of black, peeling-painted headphones hung on his head.
The sprinkler, which illuminated the road ahead, drove so fast that it nearly collided with the armored vehicle coming out of the side.
With a squeak, the "Unintentional" driver slammed on the brakes in a conditioned reflex, allowing the vehicle to stop there.
The driver of the armored vehicle, who had never encountered a similar situation, also brought the vehicle to a stop.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Baimian's eyes lit up and shouted loudly:
"Chance!"
In the light and melodious sprinkle music, she took a step forward and pulled up her left arm.
The metal scissors in her hand were immediately "entangled" by the crackling silver-white electric snake.
