Melted City

Chapter 30

Views:

The boss stood on the roof of the building opposite the exit from Lost Valley that penetrated the most into the main city.

Around the exit, there are no other pedestrians except for the down and out people in District D running past sporadically. It looks lonely and dilapidated.

However, pedestrians passing by here at this time should be able to feel a strong sense of security if their perception is sensitive.

Six city guards stood guard in the nearby abandoned building, standing by the window, staring at everything around them with scopes.

A caracal cat was standing on the roof of the building in a big way. This anomaly had been seen by the people behind the scope long ago.

But it doesn't matter, the caracal is not subject to any restrictions, the only animal that has been personally signed off by the administrator to reset it... animal.

Although it only exists voluntarily in the name of the partner of Lianchuan and Betelgeuse, it is not affiliated to any organization and does not obey anyone.

Many people would think that such an existence is meaningless, it is not even recorded in the roster of the main city, and if one day it disappears, there will be no record of it in the main city system.

The caracal is just an animal that never existed.

But for it, the word "voluntary" is more important than all rights and interests.

For Lian Chuan, it should be a word that he may have thought about but must have given up looking forward to.

The boss's paws rubbed against the edge of the roof, his body receded slightly, and he jumped down, landing silently but with a panoramic view in the middle of the street.

Then it ran past the exit, turned a corner, and ran to the next exit.

All the exits of the Lost Valley have people from the cleaning team, but the patrol team and the city guards are also guarding in a concealed manner.

Everyone knew that once Lian Chuan came out alone, he might not even have a chance to explain, and the only person who could get in touch with him immediately was the boss.

Wherever the boss appears, there may be Lian Chuan's destination.

So the boss appeared at every exit.

Run, jump, stretch, grind your paws, and scratch it twice.

"What the hell is the caracal going to do?" Xiao Lin looked at the information sent back by the system on the screen. The caracal's footprints had covered all the exits of Lost Valley, as if drawing a map for the system.

Moreover, for two consecutive days, the routes taken are still different. According to the system calculation, one is the longest time-consuming way, and the other is the shortest time-consuming way.

"Confused us." Liu Dong said.

"Are there any abnormalities? Except for the caracal cat." Xiao Lin asked through the intercom.

The captain of the patrol team responded: "No abnormality, but... the cleaning team closed down the ambush ten minutes ago."

"Lian Chuan coming out?" Xiao Lin asked.

"Not like," replied the other side, "like trying to get ahead of us."

Xiao Lin cut off the communication, turned his head and looked behind him: "Does Captain Lei know about the behavior of the cleaning team?"

Chun San was sitting on the sofa with a cigarette in his mouth, and said in a leisurely manner: "Captain Lei has already avoided suspicion and asked for leave, all weapons and communication equipment have been handed over to the Internal Defense Department, and he has been in the sleeping compartment, all the situation has been reported to the acting captain. "

Liu Dong, who was standing beside him, sneered: "The acting captain Liu Dong has not received even a single feedback."

"Report to the higher authorities and cancel Lei Yu's leave application," Xiao Lin said.

"There is a three-day cooling-off period for taking leave to avoid suspicion," Liu Dong said, "It cannot be canceled now."

"Is the cleaning team going to collectively disobey?" Xiao Lin looked at Chunsan, with obvious anger in his voice, "Captain Lei's training is really good."

"Thank you, protecting your teammates as much as possible is the first discipline of the cleaning team," Chunsan flicked the cigarette ash, "Looking at how envious Chief Xiao is, the security and patrol team members probably don't have such requirements, after all, they don't usually meet the needs A situation where you put your life in the hands of your teammates."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Lin turned around.

"What I mean is, sir, please distinguish between public and private." Chunsan pinched his cigarette butt, and his voice became cold, "Although Lei Yu is my husband, I am just a technician. I am here only to provide you with Lian Chuan Relevant information support."

"Take a break," Liu Dong stopped Xiao Lin before he could speak, "Since the Traveler Expulsion War, the three parties have not cooperated again, and it is normal to have some conflicts."

"Let me also remind you," Chunsan stood up, "this is a cooperation between the two parties."

Before the two could speak again, she turned and walked out of the room.

"It's here," Lian Chuan stopped, "The exit is ahead."

Ning Gu looked forward, only black could be seen at the end of a tunnel, and the only way to judge that it was the exit was that there was no dark red light in the cracks in the cave wall of Lost Way Valley.

Oh, and the movement of air sweeping across your face.

"Are you going out now?" Ning Gu asked, "What time is it in the main city?"

"It's about the same time at any time." Lian Chuan glanced at him, "Don't follow, don't come out when you hear anything."

Ning Gu frowned: "Didn't you say that the main city of this exit doesn't know? Why do you say it as if you will die if you go out..."

"Just to make you cautious." Lian Chuan said as he began to undress.

"Return to your hyena suit?" Ning Gu looked at him contemptuously, "Is it so disgusting? The clothes found by the bat are also new."

Lian Chuan didn't speak, took out the uniform from his bag, put it on quickly, pressed it on the side of his leg, and a few blue lights flashed on the clothes.

"Understood." Ning Gu nodded, "Your clothes can help."

"Do you remember what I said?" Lian Chuan asked.

"Remember," Ning Gu waved his hand, "Let's go, I'm not Jiuyi."

Lian Chuan didn't say anything else, turned his head and walked towards the exit.

Looking at his back, Ning Gu suddenly felt a little lonely.

He doesn't know when the car will come, and he can't predict what will happen to Lian Chuan after he leaves. Next, he will face all the unknowns alone in this strange world.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say goodbye to Lian Chuan, or to be careful, but before the words came out, Lian Chuan had already accelerated suddenly, and several blue light spots drew a long trajectory and disappeared into the darkness inside.

Ning Gu sighed, now he is not on his way, and there is no car coming. According to Lian Chuan's instructions, he has to stay here for a day, and only after making sure that it is safe outside can he go out.

The time is too much to make people feel a little at a loss.

This was different from the ghost town, where he could spend the whole day wandering around the dumps and metal cemeteries, climbing to high places to enjoy the wind, even venturing to the bay, thinking about things that would never be answered.

In this strange and dangerous place, he had nothing else to do except watch out and wait quietly.

In order to kill boredom, he sat on the ground, took the clothes that Lian Chuan dropped, and rolled them up indiscriminately, preparing to take them with him when he went out, who knows how long he will stay here.

After rolling it twice, he found that there was something hard in the clothes.

He quickly shook the clothes off again, and there were things in both pockets of the clothes.

It stands to reason that Lian Chuan basically has no personal belongings, except for two boxes of stolen rations in this clothes...

He found a box in his right pocket.

rationing

Withdrawing his hand in shock, Ning Gu saw a small box containing rations in his hand.

"What the hell?" He hastily dug into another pocket, the same small box.

Both boxes of rations have not been opened.

Lian Chuan, the dog! Actually stole four boxes!

The ground beneath my feet felt different than usual.

The ground of the main city is flat, with man-made traces on every inch, but the Black Iron Wasteland is a primitive barrenness, with hard black iron under the feet, with sharp and sharp blades covering the ground, and shield walls rising from the ground to dominate.

Even if it used to be within the scope of the main city, with artificial sunlight and countless residents, it seems to be swallowed by primitives now. Except for places close to the main city, you can still see ruins. The hinterland of the Black Iron Wasteland has long since wiped out all civilizations. Mark of.

Without light, Lianchuan only relied on the dim sunlight of the distant main city, which had entered dusk, to identify his direction of travel.

What was better than what he had imagined was that this exit was indeed not found in the main city, and the Nine Wings did not lie.

This at least gave him a chance to choose from which direction to enter the main city.

He needs to enter from the place closest to the City Hall.

There is a sound on the left front.

Without the goggles, he couldn't scan the target information in the dark, so he could only take out the spare knife from his waist at the first time.

The receiver on the leg side beeped twice, and the short beep made him suddenly relieved.

"Boss?" He stopped.

A black figure jumped out, and he heard the boss's deep guttural voice.

"How did you come here?" Lian Chuan looked around. He thought that even if the boss wanted to come, he would not be able to go so deep. It would not be easy to get rid of the surveillance of the patrol team and the city guard.

He pulled the boss's paw, and felt the damage on the pad without looking, several cuts made by sharp black iron.

The boss ran all the way at a high speed, and walking normally would not hurt him so deeply.

The boss drew back his paw and touched his nose lightly on his hand.

"I'm fine," Lian Chuan looked at the light in the distance, "I'm going to the City Affairs Office."

The boss walked to his leg, and he touched a communicator hanging on the boss.

This is the clearing team's communicator, the one he's been using, and the goggles.

Lian Chuan put on the goggles and the communicator. These two things cannot be connected with the main city system here, but the goggles can provide basic visual and scanning functions.

The two pieces of equipment brought by the boss have obvious meanings.

The cleanup team will pick him up in the main city.

"I'll go there by myself, you avoid the limelight," Lian Chuan pressed on the boss's shoulder, "If the car doesn't come these days, you have to pick Ninggu up."

The boss let out a breath from his nose.

"He is very important," Lian Chuan said, "No matter what, he cannot fall into the hands of the main city. If he is alive, I will not die."

The boss put his head on his calf to show he understood.

"I've passed," Lian Chuan said, "Boss."

The eldest paw lifted and stepped on his shoe.

He also clenched his fist and pressed twice on the boss's paw.

No weapons, no exoskeleton.

When meeting someone again, he may face a battle without even a chance to speak.

Apart from the cruel training that was full of pain in his memory, he had never fought like this outside of the laboratory.

No firepower, no support, only myself.

Precursor experiment.

In order not to implicate the cleaning team, Lei Yu and Chunsan, he had to arrive at the City Affairs Office in the shortest possible time, and use his last resort to win a chance to speak.

"Where is the boss?" Li Liang asked through the intercom.

"No news, I didn't see it today," Jiang Xiaogan said, "Could someone have been found?"

"It has a communicator," Long Biao said, "Just don't occupy the private channel of the cleaning team."

"Will Chief Liu trouble Captain Lei? We've been pretending we didn't hear his orders." Lu Qian said.

"Lei Yu is not easy to mess with," Long Biao said, "Besides, what kind of dirty work does the cleaning team do every day, who can replace him?"

Li Liang was about to speak when two beeps came from the intercom.

"The private channel is connected!" He shouted, jumped up in the hidden broken house, kicked open the door panel blocking A01, and stepped up.

"I'm entering the city from Exit A1 of District D," Lian Chuan's voice came out, "I'm going to the City Affairs Office."

"How many people?" Long Biao asked.

"One." Lian Chuan replied.

"The route will be uploaded to you," Compass said, "we will go there right away."

"Hurry up," Li Liang said, "be ahead of them."

"Don't come over." Lian Chuan said.

"Are you a fart?" Long Biao said, "What kind of prestige is the strongest in the main city at this time?"

Dozens of A01s of the cleaning team suddenly roared into the street from the squatting ground at the same time, completely ignoring the crowds of the residents, which was an unprecedented scene in the main city.

Neither the city guard nor the patrol team reacted.

A01 is the best mobile equipment in the main city, and only the cleaning team has one. After all, the work they do is the most shameful, requiring the fastest speed and the strongest mobility.

"Follow them!" Xiao Lin stood in front of the screen and watched several A01s whizzing past the screen flashing blue light, and roared into the intercom, "Where are they going!"

"Unable to judge!" The patrol captain's tone in the intercom was equally angry, but with a bit of helplessness, "A01's speed..."

"Chase! They must be in the same direction!" Liu Dong said, "Stop it in advance and strengthen the scan around the main city. Lianchuan will definitely enter the city soon."

"Acting captain? Are you ordering the patrol team and the city guard?" Xiao Lin looked at him, "Shouldn't you order the mad dogs of the cleanup team to stop first?"

"Why don't you act as the captain?" Liu Dong said.

"What's going on?" The door was pushed open, and Minister Chen hurried in. "Hyenas are running all over the street, and all the residents came out to watch!"

"You really can sit still, you only come here now." Liu Dong said.

"Lianchuan's information was scanned," a technician shouted. "It has already broken through the A1 intersection in D area. Two city guards died and did not stop it."

"Didn't stop it? The city guards of the four groups of A1 didn't stop an unequipped Lianchuan?" Xiao Lin looked at Minister Chen.

"That's Lianchuan." Minister Chen rubbed his chin, "It's unbelievable to stop him."

"Are you quite happy?" Xiao Lin pointed at the screen, "He is going to take those hyenas straight to the city affairs hall, and you are right there in the city affairs hall now!"

"Chunsan," Minister Chen said, "can you stop him?"

Chun San, who was leaning on the sofa behind and had not made a sound, stood up: "I said, he doesn't want to die, as long as he thinks his life is threatened, no one can stop him, he must take the initiative, this is the inevitable result. "

"Give it a try," Minister Chen said, "I'll go talk to the internal defense. In this state, we might lose both sides. Ning Gu doesn't know where he is yet. Once Lianchuan dies, everyone will be wiped out."

In the past few days, the cleaning team has already found the positions of the patrol team and the city guards. Although the opponent already knows the purpose and route of the cleaning team, and the number of them is much larger than them, the cleaning team has already seized the opportunity.

When reuniting with Lianchuan, the cleaning team will not suffer too much in terms of numbers.

Without Lei Yu and Lian Chuan's clean-up team, under the command of Long Biao and Li Liang, they rushed to the A1 route of the City Affairs Office.

No one questioned the action, no one mentioned "consequences".

But they also knew that Long Biao and Li Liang had pulled the entire cleaning team into this operation, hoping that everyone would work together to avoid "consequences."

Unspoken memory reset cannot be perfectly implemented in the face of such a huge amount of information and so many participants.

Lian Chuan crossed the roof of a three-story residential building and jumped down.

At the end of the road ahead, several familiar A01s appeared, and when he rushed over, an orange light flashed from the right fork.

He spun half a circle in the air suddenly, avoiding the first attack, and the second attack brushed his thigh, and a wall behind him collapsed.

The first A01 to rush towards him was Li Liang, and Long Biao's car followed closely behind him.

"Come up!" Li Liang shouted.

Lian Chuan was about to get into the car when a beam of orange light swept over him. Long Biao quickly activated his shield, but failed to completely block the attack.

Li Liang, who was turning the car around, was swept over his right shoulder, and he and the car fell to the ground.

The people on the patrol used deadly weapons instead of conventional security weapons, and Li Liang's entire right shoulder showed black fragments.

"Bastard!" Long Biao roared, raising the weapon in his hand.

But before he could take aim, Lian Chuan rushed into the side road like an invisible shadow.

When Lian Chuan was found from the scope, he had already swept across the chests of two patrol members, and the tip of the knife sank into the captain's neck.

This knife is not fatal, but at Lian Chuan's speed, it can be fatal at any time before anyone shoots.

"If you touch it, you will die." Lian Chuan held the knife in one hand and took off the patrol captain's communicator with the other, "Xiao Lin."

"Yes." Xiao Lin's voice came from the intercom, "If you dare to touch my people, you won't be able to get out of there alive today."

"It's already moved," Lian Chuan said. "Whoever stops me next will die."
