The only problem with those elevators is that there is no electricity.
Thinking about it, this is also normal. It has been more than ten years since Konimis was destroyed by the disaster. Even if there is a generator set that can run on its own and is maintained by robots, it is now unable to function due to the lack of energy.
- Unlike Dajiang City, which is the ruins of Swamp No. 1, there are not enough water resources.
"The only option is to take the stairs." As an intelligent robot, Genova will not feel depressed because of this.
"No no no." Shang Jianyao shook his head, "There is another choice."
A smile appeared on his face under the protective mask.
He then raised his hand to point to the elevators:
"You can also climb the cable directly."
Genova immediately assessed the feasibility:
"For me, there's nothing wrong with that.
"For a normal human, the risk is very high, and the completion may be very low, but if you have a military exoskeleton device, there should be no difficulty."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Jianyao started to deny himself:
"Let's take the stairs, maybe you'll come across more corpses."
Genova's eyes flashed red a few times, but he didn't make a sound.
Shang Jianyao's eyes swept across the two open elevators, and suddenly jumped and "flyed" into one of them.
He and the weight of the military exoskeleton device made the car visibly sink and shook a few times.
"Be careful!" Genova quickly reminded.
The elevators here have been abandoned for more than ten years, and no one knows if the cables will break due to such behavior.
Shang Jianyao didn't answer, lowered his head and measured every inch of space in the elevator with his feet.
In just a few seconds, he said disappointedly:
"No bodies."
Genova understood the meaning of his behavior, and knew that he was worried that the overlap with the "new world" might cause some parts of the apartment to appear empty, but in fact there were hidden secrets.
It was easy for Shang Jianyao to miss his father's clues.
After checking the other elevator, Shang Jianyao walked to the stairs with regret.
There are no lights here, it's dark.
With the light of the flashlight shining in, the mottled stairs appeared in the eyes of Shang Jianyao and Genova.
"Besides it looks shabby, it's quite clean." Shang Jianyao was amazed.
A red light flashed in Genova's eyes and said:
"It may be that the electromagnetic environment in this area is too chaotic, so that the dust outside cannot enter.
"The specific principle is... "
Shang Jianyao turned his head to the side, glanced at his companion, and interrupted his words with a mournful tone:
"Oge, you just need to say 'yes, yes' at times like this."
Genova failed to analyze the reason, but still chose to cooperate:
"it is good."
The two walked up the stairs and walked to the top floor step by step.
It can be seen that outside the stairwell on each floor, the lights are bright, and through the crack of the door, a bright area is drawn inside.
The currently cautious Shang Jianyao did not choose to directly pass through a similar area. If he could bypass it, he would bypass it. If he couldn't, he simply used the handrail of the stairs and climbed to the upper floor.
Genova followed suit.
They dare not bet that they will not be discovered if they are not "seen" by the "new world" powerhouses or other creatures that may exist on every floor.
The cowardly but cautious Shang Jianyao suspects that the lights are actually the spiritual manifestations of those who are strong, and at the source of the problem, which is already very overlapping, touching the lights is like singing loudly beside other people's ears, and there is no way to hide them.
As for why there were only lights and no figures on the first floor, he had no idea.
Going up so slowly, Shang Jianyao has always restrained his human consciousness, and only relies on the light of the flashlight specially adjusted to a weak state to illuminate the way forward.
Along the way, he and Genova found several more bodies.
The ones on the lower floors also had only clothes, and their bodies were empty. They had obviously been raided by the Eighth Research Institute, while the ones found halfway through the floor had some personal items in their pockets.
Through their clothes and items, Genava clearly judged that they were all employees of "Panga Creatures" and members of the old-fashioned team.
With the help of skeletal features and item conditions, another conclusion can also be drawn:
This is not Shang Jianyao's father.
"It's all just personal belongings..." Shang Jianyao, who was squatting on one knee on the stairs, handed Genava all the things found on the corpse in front of him, with undisguised disappointment in his tone.
Genova knew that he wanted to find corresponding clues from those items, but unfortunately, they were either compressed biscuits, chocolates, candies and other items that were convenient and quick to replenish energy, or self-defense items such as pistols and bullets.
"Maybe the management of that team is very strict, and members are not allowed to record information privately, so as not to be obtained by others after they are separated." Genova stuffed the received items into his backpack.
"Yes." Shang Jianyao stood up, picked up the Berserker assault rifle again, and walked up the stairs.
As he was walking, he stumbled suddenly.
"Be careful." Genova imitated humans, expressing concern with reminders.
"It's okay." Shang Jianyao first comforted Genava, and then said, "I should have been hit by the ability of the Awakened."
"It's okay?" Genava's eyes flashed red, but he still couldn't understand.
Shang Jianyao did not stop his steps:
"This ability feels relatively weak and has no obvious impact on me.
"Also, although I got the ability, I didn't sense the enemy's consciousness."
Normally, if the ability affects a person, it means that a connection is established with this person, and it is no longer possible to hide human consciousness from the other party's sensing, unless it can be interrupted and re-hide before the enemy finds out, or out of target sensing range.
The former can be temporarily ruled out, because Shang Jianyao's footsteps are not stable, and it seems that there is nothing to do with the assistance of the military exoskeleton device, and the latter means that the hidden Awakener is stronger than Shang Jianyao, but This again contradicts the weak effect of the ability.
"It's a little weird." Genova responded in a slightly synthetic voice.
Shang Jianyao smiled and said:
"It doesn't matter, it's only a few floors away from the top floor, we don't care about anything else, hurry up, time, go up..."
As he spoke, his tongue seemed to grow a little bigger, and his body swayed, making it difficult to keep his balance.
Shang Jianyao was not surprised but delighted, and said loudly:
"It's very similar to what Dabai, Xiaohong, Xiaobai have encountered before, that kind of 'drunk man' ability!
"Is that the eighth, the Awakened of the Research Institute, hiding nearby
"But she should be weaker than me!"
Genova understood what he meant - there was no reason why he couldn't sense the human consciousness of the other party and was passively beaten.
Before Genava could respond, Shang Jian Yao fell to the ground with a bang.
"I'm drunk, my head is still dizzy, it hurts..." he whispered to himself.
He then began to switch the behavior of the military exoskeleton from "assistance" to "leadership."
Equipment-led, "autonomous driving".
With the input of the order, Shang Jianyao "stands up" and steadily continues to go up the stairs to the top floor.
Although he was still in a "drunk" state, it had no effect on his actions.
"Cheese, that is, strength, old..." Shang Jianyao's tongue was so big that he was a little vague.
At this moment, a rope caught in the glass window of the stairwell swayed in the wind.
In the dark night, this is like a dancing poisonous snake.
Shang Jianyao's eyes froze for a moment, and the whole person showed a state of wanting to twist his body and run away.
But a military exoskeleton device stopped him.
The order received by this equipment has not been changed, and it judges that a rope is not a threat!
"No!" Shang Jianyao screamed, and was "hijacked" by the military exoskeleton device and continued to go upstairs.
The closer he got to the rope, the more he screamed, and at the end, he even shouted loudly:
"Lao Ge, save me!"
Genova analyzed a certain possibility and chose to follow without speaking.
Finally, Shang Jianyao crossed the glass window in the stairwell, and no longer saw the rope that was shaking like a snake.
He suddenly calmed down.
After a few seconds, he didn't dare to turn around and said excitedly:
"Lao Ge, this should be caused by the power that overflowed from the top floor.
"Otherwise, it is impossible. It has both the ability, the effect, and the additional cost."
"Twisted Biophobia" is a price to pay, as the "Old Tune Group" knows.
"Although some of the costs and the effects of certain abilities are the same, I still think that your guess has a high probability of being true." Genova agreed with Shang Jianyao's speculation.
Shang Jianyao said happily:
"Then let's continue, go up, the distance, the source of the problem, is not far away!"
Speaking of which, his voice became low:
"The closer you get, the top floor, the influence, it should be, the stronger it will be, wait a minute, if I can't control it, you, Lao Ge, knock me out and take me up."
"Okay." Genova agreed, "but you need to adjust the order and put me on the whitelist for no defense and no confrontation."
Otherwise, he really can't solve the military exoskeleton device that dominates Shang Jianyao's body in a short time.
In this way, Shang Jianyao walked with difficulty, with Genava following him, ready to help at any time.
When Shang Jianyao's "drunk" state was about to enter the level of unconsciousness, the two finally came to the stairwell on the top floor, and the target location was only separated by a wooden door.
It was pitch black here, and the light of the torch could only illuminate a small area.
