Melted City

Chapter 37

Views:

Travelers wanted to squeeze into this carriage to see what was in this black box.

Some people worried that the main city had set a trap for them, and wanted to push the box out of the car first.

"Or get out of the car first!" Someone shouted, "Open it and see what it is!"

Before the leader gave an order, a group of people rushed forward.

The box was made of metal, heavy, and smooth. Everyone huddled together and had nowhere to move it, so they pushed it to the door of the carriage.

Ning Gu has already felt that this box is probably filled with...

He stretched out his hand to support the box, trying to stop it from falling to the ground: "Don't worry..."

Before he finished speaking, sparks exploded behind him, and a row of blue beams neatly hit the ground two meters away from them.

"Hyena!" someone yelled.

"Get in the car!" said the captain.

The box was pushed back into the middle of the car, and the travelers, who would not fight the hyenas in this situation, all jumped into the car and leaned on either side of the car door to look out.

"I didn't see anyone."

"The hyena actually left the main city?"

"The city guards won't chase here, why are the hyenas here?"

"Did the hyenas put this thing in the car?"

That's right.

Ning Gu stood beside the black box.

The box was sent by the hyena, and they were required to take it away.

Lianchuan was expelled to a ghost town.

It seems the news is true.

But Ning Gu really didn't expect that it would be in such a way.

He thought that even if he wanted to be deported, he should escort people over and point them at guns.

The equipment must have been dropped.

It is estimated that there will be no uniforms, because he knows that Lian Chuan's uniforms are also lethal.

Maybe it's still naked.

Next, if Lian Chuan refuses to get in the car, he can go and persuade him, little speaker, get in the car and live first...

I never thought of it.

Lian Chuan actually brought the car on the box.

Is it really Lian Chuan

Ning Gu squatted by the door of the carriage, staring at the flashing and dripping blue spots of light.

The hyena outside never showed up, and after the box was forced back into the carriage, there was silence outside, except for the wind and black fog, there was nothing abnormal.

Several travelers jumped out of the car, climbed to the roof, and ran up and down several times, but were not attacked again.

"Go to other compartments if you can't squeeze in," Li Xiang said, "Don't pile them up here."

"In case it's some kind of lethal weapon from the hyena, maybe the car will start when it drives out," Lin Fan's voice sounded from the corner. "At that time, everyone will be here, and it will be over immediately."

The travelers thought it made sense, and jumped out one after another. After a while, there were only a dozen people left in the carriage.

The atmosphere changed instantly.

Ning Gu lowered his eyelids, and continued to stare at the blue light spot from the corner of his eye.

But he could feel his breathing becoming lighter.

Many of the people left in the carriage are the "elders" who are familiar to me and who will walk around when they do anything bad.

But it was probably because there were still some ordinary travelers there, and there were many injured, the group leader didn't immediately ask him about the details of his stay in the main city.

When the car was moving, there were deafening cheers and screams again, and many travelers rushed to the door of the car, throwing out the small rags they were carrying.

Broken belt buckles, metal studs on shoes, torn gloves, hats...

They rushed into the main city, and with the firepower of the main city, they rushed all the way to Area C, rescued their companions, retreated with the firepower, and returned successfully.

This is something to cheer about, for the travelers who came back alive, for the travelers who stayed in the main city and died or didn't die but would eventually die.

Ning Gu looked up at the people around him.

These people who protected him from the main city had tired faces, and the black wounds on their faces were clearly visible, but no one noticed him.

It's just saving a companion, you may not be able to save it normally, but if you want to save it, you have to do your best to save it. As for who this companion is and what happened, no one will care, as long as you are happy.

Ning Gu didn't even need to express any gratitude to these people.

After leaving the ghost town, he felt how comfortable it was to be with these crazy people who didn't care about anything.

But what he needs to face next is not something that can be solved indifferently.

There is a high probability that Lian Chuan is in the box.

The number one hyena in the main city, which travelers fear but hate.

Lie unarmed in this box.

Once it is opened, Ning Gu dare not imagine what kind of scene it will be.

The noisy travelers in the other carriages gradually quieted down. After all, everyone was a little tired from this trip.

Li Xiang stood beside the black box and checked the box carefully.

This box is somewhat similar to the boxes used for the experimental items sent over from the main city in the past. They are all black sealed boxes, but this one is bigger and weighs much more. It is obvious that there are more complicated devices inside.

If it is an experimental product, it can only be said that this experimental product is no small matter.

But the goods between the main city and the head of the group have never been transported so openly, in front of all travelers.

Li Xiang turned around and walked to the head of the group, and glanced at him.

"I haven't received any news," said the head of the group.

"Any guesses?" Li Xiang asked in a low voice, "It's unlikely that this is just... an experimental subject."

"The hyena is abnormal today." The team leader glanced at Lin Fan, "You didn't see it there either, did you?"

Lin Fan walked over slowly, covered his mouth with his hands, and faced the carriage wall: "No, I don't think this is an experimental subject."

"Hmm." The captain replied.

"There was a precedent of expulsion from the main city before." Lin Fan still covered his mouth, his voice was vague, "Although it's not in this form... I think Ning Gu knows."

The main city has indeed been expelled several times. The illegal birth of the green land is not allowed by the main city law, but the background is special and cannot be directly recycled. I chose to expel the ghost city, at least I can live.

Those evicted now live in silence in ghost town shelters.

But this one in the box, is clearly different.

Every time the train returns from the main city, the left-behind travelers will greet them with cheers. In the dark life, even death brought by the train is something new.

But this time, the black box brought back from the main city, this high-tech box with a distinctive style of the main city, made the three shelters even more excited.

"Open-"

"Open it!"

Ning Gu followed behind the leader, Lin Fan and Li Xiang did not stare at him to prevent him from escaping as soon as he returned to the ghost town.

Ning Gu knew that they had already guessed that this box was related to him, and also guessed that with this box, he would not run away.

He really can't run.

He said that if Lian Chuan was expelled to the ghost town, he would cover Lian Chuan.

Although Lian Chuan didn't know.

But travelers mean what they say.

The box was placed in the middle of the open space in front of the clock tower, and it was impossible to secretly transport and open it. The travelers already knew of its existence.

Travelers from the entire ghost town have gathered around the clock tower, on the ground, on the clock tower, and on nearby houses, and several houses have been trampled down.

Ning Gu stared at the people around him, staring at the faces one by one. Although the brightness of the cold light bottle was not as good as that of the main city, he didn't need too bright a light for the face looking for nails, he could recognize a silhouette.

No nails in sight.

When he got out of the car, he already felt that something was wrong. This time, the team leader brought someone to find him. It was impossible for Nail not to pick him up, and it was even more impossible for him not to rush over and hug him, crying.

He didn't even see the hammer.

Ning Gu's mood sank little by little.

It's just that he didn't dare to ask now, the head of the team had already walked to the side of the box.

"Pay attention to defense." The regiment leader glanced at Li Xiang.

Li Xiang nodded.

Below the flashing blue light, there are three buttons, flush with the surface, which can't be seen unless you look carefully, and there are no signs.

The leader of these three buttons is considered familiar, and there are such buttons on the test subject's box.

They are release control, wake up and unboxing respectively.

If it is an experimental subject, every time the box is opened, it must be opened first, and then released and awakened after confirmation.

After staring at the three buttons for a while, the whistling and shouting of travelers around him grew louder, and he whispered, "Be careful."

Li Xiang and Lin Fan moved closer.

The captain pressed the third button.

The beeping of the box stopped, and then the blue light stopped blinking.

The shouts around also gradually calmed down with the change of the box and became quiet.

There is only the sound of wind in my ears.

A gap appeared on the side of the box, and it opened slowly and silently.

Ning Gu almost couldn't take care of his breath, staring at the gradually widening gap

When the gap reached the width of a palm, the speed suddenly increased, and it almost opened completely without stopping.

A second later, crazy cheers erupted all around.

Inside the box lay a man in simple blue pajamas.

On the inside of the opened box lid, a set of uniforms was neatly fixed.

A dark blue light shone faintly.

"It's a hyena!" someone in the crowd roared.

Before the hyena could finish yelling, the crowd started to commotion, and someone rushed over.

The head of the group and Lin Fan raised their hands at the same time, and a powerful wave of air pushed out from their sides, and the people who rushed up were neatly swept away by more than ten meters.

"Stay where you are!" the regiment leader roared in a calm voice.

"Kill the hyena!" someone yelled.

"kill!"

"Abolish him! Let him be a real dog!"

It's Lianchuan.

Ning Gu stared at the box.

Lian Chuan closed his eyes, his face was pale, and he didn't know what was going on.

Still peeling off

Didn't it mean that they were stripped of detention? How come they haven't been out of the state since they were sent to the ghost town

Ning Gu suddenly felt a chill down his back.

If Lian Chuan is sober, even if he has no equipment, he will not be easily controlled when he arrives in the ghost town, but the "expulsion" in this state is obviously to hand him over to the traveler.

Even afraid that no one would know who it was, they even put on the uniform of the cleanup team.

The uniform every traveler knows and every traveler hates.

"0603!" Someone shouted, "I saw it! 0603!"

Although the distance was far away, someone still used their ability to see the numbers on the uniform.

Ning Gu admired him very much. He didn't know until now that Lian Chuan's uniform had his number on it.

"It's Lian Chuan—"

"Kill him! Avenge the traveler!"

Ning Gu gritted his teeth, the main city is really awesome, what is the difference between such expulsion and killing

If this is the purpose, wouldn't it be enough to kill them secretly after announcing the expulsion

Hearing the angry shouts of the travelers, Ning Gu clenched his fists. Only Lian Chuan knew why.

Nothing will happen to Lian Chuan.

He still has many questions unanswered.

He said he wanted to cover Lianchuan.

Ghost town bullies mean what they say.

"Prison it first." The leader said, "Without my order, no one can approach."

Lin Fan glanced around: "What about these people?"

The traveler's hatred for hyenas is straightforward and clear. Whether it was driven out of the main city that year or the sniping every time they entered the main city, they were all hyenas.

"After we figure out what's going on," the group leader raised his voice, "I'll discuss with you how to deal with it."

"Kill!" the travelers shouted in unison.

Ning Gu rushed to the side of the box, and when he kicked the lid of the box, there were still shouts from all around.

"Ning Gu!" Li Xiang was taken aback by his move, and wanted to pull him away when he came over.

"Don't touch me!" Ning Gu roared.

Everyone was stunned, and the surroundings fell silent for an instant, looking at him in shock.

Ning Gu stepped on the box with one leg, slowly raised his left hand, looked at the leader: "This man is mine."

For those three seconds, Ning Gu didn't know how to activate it, and what effect it would have, but he knew that the leader would not let him use the ability.

And the head of the group didn't know that his ghost ability was still in the rebellious stage, and it wasn't something he could use if he wanted to.

This is the first time he has threatened the head of the group since he was a child.

In front of everyone.

The head of the group probably didn't expect him to be like this, his face was very tense, and he stared at him, too angry to speak.

"It seems that our Ning Gu's... ability has been stimulated?" Lin Fan folded his arms and opened his mouth, looking much calmer than the leader, "What do you want?"

"Give him to me." Ning Gu said.

"Impossible." The leader replied firmly.

"There are so many companions here," Li Xiang said, "If you want to negotiate terms, you have to mention a feasible one."

Ning Gu thinks it makes sense.

"Custody is fine," he said, "but in a place I know, where I can see him at all times."

"You..." The leader's face was livid, but he was interrupted by Li Xiang before he could finish speaking.

"Yes." Li Xiang said.

"Where is the prison?" Ning Gu asked.

"You can follow," Li Xiang replied, "but you have to answer honestly when we ask you."

"You can't lie to me," Ning Gu said, "You can't limit my range of activities."

"Okay." Li Xiang nodded.

"Deal." Ning Gu said.

The black box containing Lianchuan was unanimously agreed to be detained in Guicheng Medical Center first.

The medical center is not just a simple medical center. Its initial function is to detain travelers whose abilities are out of control, and it has a powerful control and defense system.

When the head of the regiment brought the boxes to the medical center, Ning Gu followed behind him, staring at the road ahead without turning his eyes.

After threatening the head of the group in front of all the travelers, he suddenly didn't have the courage to face the gazes around him again.

Those suspicious, shocked, contemptuous, angry eyes.

The box was placed in the confinement room of the medical facility, and after the travelers who carried the box left, there were only four people left in the room.

"Do you know about this?" After a long silence, the leader watched Ning Gu speak.

"Well," Ning Gu responded, "The main city has announced that Lianchuan will be expelled."

"Why?" Li Xiang asked.

"He let me go in Lost Valley." Ning Gu said.

"Why?" Li Xiang continued to ask.

"He said that I can help him." Ning Gu carefully searched his mind for an answer that could be said without "deceiving".

"How can I help?" Lin Fan asked.

"It's not clear," Ning Gu said, "so you can't kill him."

"Who said he was going to kill him?" Li Xiang said.

Ning Gu glanced at him, but didn't speak.

It seems that he didn't say anything.

"What is your ability?" Lin Fan asked again.

"I still..." Ning Gu hesitated, "I'm not too sure."

"Crowd control," said the regimental leader, "but he's out of range."

Both Lin Fan and Li Xiang looked at Ning Gu in surprise.

"Ghost towns don't have such capabilities," Li Xiang said.

Lin Fan pinched his chin: "It's not like..."

"We'll discuss this later," the head of the group interrupted him. "The top priority is Lianchuan."

Li Xiang walked to the side of the box, tapped on the box twice, then turned to look at Ning Gu: "If Lian Chuan is awakened, can you let him cooperate with us?"

"I'm not sure." Ning Gu replied.

"Wake up first and then release the control," said the captain, "plus our control device."

Li Xiang dragged an iron bed, to be precise, an iron bed-like frame, out from the side. Although the shape of this thing looked a bit rough, it was full of wires and shining like the main body. It can still be seen from the black barrels that resemble the muzzles of Chengcheng weapons that once Lian Chuan is tied up, it is impossible to escape easily.

The leader opened the lid of the box. Before waking up, he had to check the box again and take away Lianchuan's uniform.

Ning Gu stood beside him nervously, staring at the box.

At this moment he was a little depressed.

Facing the head of the regiment who had guarded him like a strict father since he was a child, he could no longer completely trust him.

When he realized this change, Ning Gu was wrapped in a daze.

But this emotion was thrown to the back of his mind in the next second.

Before the lid was fully opened, he could already see Lian Chuan's face.

Lian Chuan's eyes were opened.

When the head realized that he was about to close the lid of the box, Lian Chuan had already jumped out of the box.

Ning Gu didn't even have time to move, he felt a chill on his neck.

"Don't move." Lian Chuan stood behind him, with his fingers on his throat.

The leader turned his head and lowered his voice: "Let him go."

"Even without equipment," Lian Chuan tightened his fingers, "no one is faster than me."

"If you can kill him," Lin Fan said, "you won't let him go in the main city."

"Then try it." Lian Chuan said.

The author has something to say:

Lian Chuan: How dare you step on my packing box
