Celebration Day was as big and chaotic as ever.
Every time I look forward to seeing the real face of the administrator, but every time I can’t see it, it will not disappoint people. All kinds of food that I can’t usually eat, good wine that I can’t drink, and nights that I can’t pass, can make people feel happy. satisfy.
And fireworks.
Just the two daylight fireworks in two days can make Lianchuan wonder how many people can be accommodated in the safe zone. Where are these people usually? In the morning, the wall of an old house was even cracked because of the collective cheers. wide gap.
All departments in the entire defense building cannot rest on this day, and the cleanup team is no exception.
The cleanup team is not responsible for security, nor for maintaining order. Their job content is similar to usual, and they are only responsible for making people disappear.
The only difference is probably more tasks.
Although the various passages into the main city have been strictly closed, only people within the D area, including those who are not usually allowed to enter the safe area, are allowed to enter to participate in the celebration.
But there will always be bugs, and there will always be people who have a way to sneak in, watch the excitement, steal some survival supplies, and feel the sunlight and late-night wine in the main city.
Even just for taking a few steps on flat ground.
At this time, the system is like a chatterbox, and it will report coordinates, illegal population, redundant population, unknown creatures...
The eight groups of the cleaning team were all thrown out.
Lian Chuan stood on the roof of a building in District B, with his car parked beside him, and the boss squatted in the shadow behind him.
Lu Qian stopped following his car today, and Li Liang, who had no partner in the first group, switched to the sixth group, partnering with Lu Qian.
Li Liang is a steady and cautious person, and he is also very patient. It is very suitable for a fool like Lu Qian to lead him.
Everyone must have their own partner when performing tasks. The main city is not much safer than the outside. Even the legendary Lian Chuan, like Lian Chuan, does not do it alone. His partner is the boss.
Of all the people, only Long Biao was very angry. After all, besides him, Li Liang was the most experienced in the group and could withstand his violent temper.
There was a very thin and light sound behind him. It was the sound of the boss's paws gently landing on the ground.
"I have a headache." Lian Chuan said.
The boss walked over to him and sat down, tilted his head and sniffed his face.
He has had headaches for many years. From the day he found out that his memory would be reset, headaches are a side effect of incomplete resets, and when they hurt, the world will collapse.
So no one knows about this except the boss.
He has suffered countless injuries in training since he was a child, and the pain when his thigh is torn is not as good as the headache every time.
But no one knows.
Lian Chuan can endure such pain and participate in training of any intensity, even the training on Betelgeuse without any flaws.
"You don't live by your body," Lei Yu said, "You have always lived only by your will."
That's not all.
Still living on the desire to survive.
The only person who fits Betelgeuse always has a headache, and must be checked, comprehensive, detailed, and anatomical.
Once those checks that are not usually performed are started, the broken hard disk may...
The boss let out a low sound from his throat, turned and jumped up, and quickly disappeared behind the building.
Lian Chuan looked downstairs, and the crowds were coming in from all over, gathering more and more, all kinds of noisy sounds gradually covered up the imperceptible decay of the main city.
Maybe that's why the City Hall insisted on keeping the festival day.
And the street full of people underfoot, the smell of alcohol wafting in the air.
It is Lian Chuan's eternal memory of the celebration day.
"The leaders of each team," Lei Yu's voice came from the intercom, "Squat down and patrol the area."
"Patrol?" Long Biao was a little puzzled.
"Patrol." Lei Yu repeated.
"Received by the sixth group." Lian Chuan didn't ask any more questions. The boss suddenly ran away before because he had already discovered something abnormal.
Lei Yu didn't give the exact coordinates of the target and only let him patrol. There are two reasons. The system can't confirm the target's location, or the target's location can't be exposed, and special personnel are needed to clean it up.
Lian Chuan jumped into the car, and when he rushed down from the roof, he heard Lei Yu's voice: "One group, six groups, the target is among you."
The coordinates displayed on the goggles have been encrypted, and only Lian Chuan and Long Biao can see them.
And the yellow coordinates are different from the usual green coordinates, indicating that it is not an accurate location. At the same time, it can be seen that the target's confidentiality level is I2.
This is an escaped irregular adult.
"How to deal with it?" Long Biao asked.
"Self-destruct," Lei Yu replied, "Clear the route and make sure there are no witnesses."
The City Affairs Office has a project that has been going on for a long time, called "Irregular Project".
The main research object is unconventional adults. This is a project publicly recognized by the City Affairs Department. Unconventional adults refer to those who do not pass the application and are not included in the population. They belong to the official...legal illegal population.
The content of this research is very simple, to improve the comprehensive ability and quality of human beings, to adapt to the increasingly harsh environment, and to fight against the stalking demons outside the city. The reason for the start of the research is also very simple and intuitive—the black iron wasteland that the main city had to abandon , was once a paradise.
Sooner or later, the main city will be eroded and degraded, becoming part of the extension of the Black Iron Wasteland.
Once that day comes, I'm afraid they won't give these people in front of them a chance to linger...
And this day has come many times.
It's just that no one knows how everything will start and end, and no one knows what kind of scene will be seen, you are still you, I am still me, who will be who.
However, this project, which sounds reasonable and necessary, has been constantly protested by the largest civil organization in the main city, calling it the "Anti-Human Enhancement Plan", which is plain and straightforward, just like the name the organization gave itself.
Let nature take its course.
There is also a sub-helm called to the three administrators.
Lian Chuan didn't know exactly what he said, let alone whether the administrator knew or not.
In short, they believe that everything in this world is against the laws of nature. They want to break everything man-made, let the world return to its original state, and move forward along the original track of the world, whether it is survival or death.
Lian Chuan had no idea what they thought.
I just hope that if they revolt in the future, they can keep the artificial daylight.
If the daylight is gone, we will have to go to the dark to get a cold light bottle if we want to hold a meeting. I am afraid that the bats and travelers will not be able to help laughing.
The main city can still make the Black Iron Wasteland and the ghost city stare at it, but it means that the main city does not need to let nature take its course.
So Lian Chuan has been unable to figure out why it takes so long to let the demands that can be realized by leaving the main city go with the flow.
Welcome to the Black Iron Wasteland, and if you want to go further, you can go to the ghost town.
"Patrol along the direction parallel to Avenue E to Area D." Lian Chuan gave instructions to the team members.
He never questioned Lei Yu's order, and never doubted it.
It is rare for irregular adults to escape, but there will always be accidents. The people in the cleanup team have seen it several times, and the shape is not exactly the same as that of normal humans. Chuan couldn't remember.
At this time, it is his best choice to remain silent and obey orders.
Chaotic memories have long taught him to be calm in any situation.
"The firework show will be held in Lightthorn Park, please do not crowd, queue up to enter the venue, follow the arrangements of the staff, please show the ID card of the main city residents when entering the venue, for the sake of safety, your ID card may be checked at any time, and your identity cannot be verified All personnel are recycled, cherish life, enjoy a better life... "
All the streets in the main city were repeatedly broadcasting the radio, and the mechanical male voice repeated prompts and warnings expressionlessly.
Lian Chuan's car drove past the crowd, one for the sake of speed, and the other for not causing unnecessary panic.
and insults.
The boss appeared on the roof on his right, and followed his car at a high speed. Lian Chuan glanced at the coordinates, gestured to the boss, turned from the intersection to the east, and the boss continued to move forward.
The system did not display the target and the status of the target near the coordinates. He could not make a prediction, nor could he ask the team members to cooperate. He could only follow the old rules and outflank the boss.
Although Long Biao and his partner were still there, they couldn't be taken into account because Long Biao didn't like him and was too lazy to get along with him.
Lei Yu said that the way to deal with it is "self-destruction". The irregular adults have self-destruction devices, that is to say, their task is only to confirm that the target self-destruction is complete, and to ensure that there are no witnesses before self-destruction.
This task, which was originally not too difficult, became difficult because of the requirement of "no witnesses". After all, this is not an ordinary night, this is a carnival night without a curfew on the celebration day.
There are people everywhere, even the dilapidated small streets where you usually walk three times back and forth without encountering a single person, you can hear laughter now.
Lian Chuan had to find a hidden place and parked the car, the A01 was too conspicuous.
"Come here." Long Biao's voice came from the intercom.
This sentence was said to Lian Chuan, and the meaning had to be understood by Lian Chuan himself.
According to Lian Chuan and his many years of cooperation experience, this means that he has seen the goal and cannot complete the task independently. He needs to bear the humiliation and put down his dignity and is forced to ask for support from his most hated fake savior Lian Chuan.
"Received." Lian Chuan saw Long Biao's coordinates on the goggles, and there was still a certain distance. If there was no car and he had to run over, the boss should arrive first.
Lian Chuan pressed three times on a transmitter on the side of his leg.
The boss quickly and silently appeared on the nearby roof, and Lian Chuan also climbed up with the help of the exoskeleton, and gestured to the boss.
The boss ran quickly in the direction of Long Biao.
Lian Chuan also jumped up and started running over the block.
Jumping from one roof to the next, the wind blows by my ears, and the low sound of the exoskeleton can be heard in the screams.
He could hear a lot, the sighs below when he jumped over the street, and the whispers in the house when he jumped over the skylight on the roof.
The old pipes are humming, the glass of the drinker in the back alley falls, the small steel ball bounces, a glass of water flows in the sewer, and the shoe rolls down the stairs...
Heavy and hard breathing.
It's an unusual breathing sound.
Lian Chuan suddenly stopped by the bell tower window at the intersection, and lowered his body.
There are no irregular adults in the field of vision, and the goggles can't scan the information, but he can hear it.
This is the edge of Area D and Area C. There are very few carnival people, but there are two passers-by on the street corner below him.
"He's going out." Long Biao whispered into the intercom.
"Did you see him?" Lian Chuan asked.
"...I saw a shadow," Long Biao said, "but now I can't see it anymore."
"He stopped." Lian Chuan said.
"Did you see it?" Long Biao asked, "The coordinates."
"I heard it." Lian Chuan replied.
"You can just say that your brain wave has been scanned." Long Biao was very upset, "The god of internal defense."
Lian Chuan did not speak, and sent his coordinates.
"It was going in that direction just now," Long Biao said, "Your cat should be directly south of him."
Lian Chuan still didn't make a sound, canceled the coordinates, jumped off the side of the clock tower, and quickly crossed the intersection.
"Did you go?" Long Biao asked, "Why did you cancel the coordinates!"
Lian Chuan was silent, jumped up again, and jumped onto the gatehouse of an abandoned movie theater at the opposite corner of the intersection.
Boss is not a cat.
"Lian Chuan," another voice came from the intercom, it was Long Biao's partner Cui Ping, "Is the boss already in front?"
"Yes." Lian Chuan replied.
"We can get stuck on Xingpan Street," Cui Ping said, "There's no one there."
The order that there should be no witnesses also includes the meaning of "disappear when you see it", but under normal circumstances, the cleanup team will not be unscrupulous because of such a license, even if they have already had the reputation of hyenas .
Why is Xingpan Street called Xingpan Street? It is impossible to test. After all, the stars are just legends. In the early years, the main city would decorate the black mist with a few dots of light when the sun was dimming every day. After being criticized for wasting resources , A few stars never lit up again.
The only trace related to stars in the main city is the incomprehensible Xingpan Street.
A criss-crossing chaotic block, no street or alley is horizontal and vertical, it can be regarded as the most individual block in the main city.
And the most dangerous.
I don't know where there will be a fork, I don't know where there will be a gap, I don't know which collapsed steel beam is hiding behind the sneaking bat, and I don't know which abandoned sewer hides a bug that wants to escape from the city.
Xingpan Street was very quiet, and the only thing that was heard by Lian Chuan's ears was the wind.
After diving deep for a while, he heard a few short guttural sounds from the boss.
This is an early warning, the boss has found the target.
The sound was very close to Lian Chuan, and Lian Chuan quickly jumped onto the roof of a house. After a few steps, he jumped up from the roof, crossed the street, and landed on the opposite corner of the house.
The boss is on the metal ladder where half of the oblique wall has collapsed, with his head down and his tail up, and his whole body is on alert.
At the same time, Lian Chuan saw a white creature lying in the middle of the road below.
"Lock the target." Lian Chuan pressed on his shoulder and began to scan the inexplicable creature in front of him.
The data was quickly sent to Long Biao and Cui Ping, and Cui Ping's voice was a little puzzled: "Is this illegal?"
Lian Chuan didn't answer.
This is of course an irregular adult, and it looks like a failed irregular adult. The scanned form is walking on all fours.
Take a look at it if you have a chance. After all, they have seen such a thing, and it's hard to say how much memory they can retain.
Lian Chuan could piece together some things from the fragments of memory.
This irregular adult form does not look like the so-called "enhancement" in the public plan.
This is almost out of the scope of human beings.
Lian Chuan had never seen such a thing, or did not remember seeing it.
I can't see clearly. When I observe, it seems that there is a layer of fog. Although I know that this layer of fog comes from the target itself, it is difficult to really judge what is in the fog.
Can only see a rough idea.
It is tall and tall, with slender, knobby limbs, skin covered with fine scales, prominent eye bones, and the torso seems to have been damaged. It looks reminiscent of...
"Why does this thing look a bit like K29?" Long Biao's voice came from the intercom, and he and Cui Ping were already lying on the edge of the nearby building.
That's right, it's k29.
It is not known why k29 is called k29, and it is not known whether there are k28 and k30, but they have this memory of k29.
This is a synonym for the aborigines of the ghost town.
