Ning Gu was squatting behind the wall, next to a large iron cabinet that was thrown in the corner. I don't know what this thing used to hold, and there was an unpleasant burnt smell in the smell of iron.
But he had to endure, there was someone somewhere on the other side of the wall.
He didn't know how he knew. He had always been very accurate in judging the danger without any basis. He couldn't see, hear or feel it. Anyway, he thought there was someone there, so there was someone there.
The leader said that even if everything fails, there is still consciousness.
Maybe it was his consciousness that saw the danger, his consciousness that said there was someone there.
So until that person walks away, he can't move.
But... Although he looked very calm, leaning steadily behind this stinky broken iron cabinet, waiting for the next opportunity with a blank expression...
The head of the group and Li Xiang no longer knew where they had gone.
The hammer was gone too.
And he still doesn't know if the next opportunity has come, and what he can do when it comes.
A little panicked.
Not long ago, he was running wildly with a group of travelers on the Black Iron Wasteland.
Leading the way were a few skinny bats, one of which jumped extremely high and had no legs. His body was supported by two metal skeletons that could not see any technical content with the naked eye.
This kind of disability is generally not a disability. He has heard that it is a kind of body modification for bats to gain stronger abilities. After seeing it with his own eyes, he felt that the modification was quite successful, and the metal frame leg really jumped the highest.
The significance of jumping so high has not been seen for the time being.
The new exit that the bats took them to was far away, and there were fewer and fewer people running along the way. I don’t know where they all went. After entering a long ditch that looked like a collapsed mine, there were only 30 people left. Four travellers.
Although there were no city guards or hyenas on this road, there were only so few people left, and they looked like defeated soldiers who had been targeted by the city guard eight times.
At the end of the long ditch is a metal wall buried deep in the ground. It is full of mottled, but it is very thick. Bats will definitely not be able to get through it.
Travelers can.
"Where the circle is drawn!" cried a bat. "It's the thinnest there!"
The leader waved his hand from a distance, and the metal wall was dented silently as if it had been hit by an extremely heavy object.
All the people rushed forward while cheering. After the leader waved his hand for the second time, a hole was smashed into the wall.
Ning Gu was in a trance for a moment.
He saw the light in his eyes.
It was night time in the main city, and the daylight was already very dark.
But it’s different from the ghost city’s light that is always dotted with cold light bottles regardless of morning and evening, and it’s also different from the light spurs seen from a distance. Ning Gu doesn’t know how to describe it. His first feeling is that there is only one light in the main city... It’s full.
He jumped over the hole in the wall following the tail of the team, and set foot on the land of the main city.
On the other side of the wall is an abandoned building, surrounded by discarded sundries, tables and chairs, and unknown appliances. At a glance, there are several items that Ning Gu thinks can be brought back to exchange for some high-end things with the land king. .
The head of the group and Li Xiang probably found him, at least Li Xiang should have found out.
Because the small metal cube given to him by the king of the land had some problems not long after getting off the car, it began to emit a faint light all over, and he dared not press the button again, fearing that it was a surprise prepared by the king of the land for him. It sparks.
He had to distance himself, and deliberately lagged behind.
After turning countless times around the intricate corners of the main city, he realized that not only had he distanced himself from the regiment leader and Li Xiang, but he had also separated from Hammer.
Ning Gu, the bully of the ghost city, entered the main city for the first time, and was not stopped by the city guards, nor was he defeated by hyenas.
But apart from finally finding the suitcase that the leader was carrying when he came by intuition, he somehow became alone.
He didn't even bother to take a closer look at what the most dilapidated area D at the edge of the main city looked like, before he was blocked behind the wall.
It should be a hyena. In his cognition, the hyena is ten thousand times more terrifying than the city guard.
What he felt might be murderous intent.
Lian Chuan squatted on the edge of the roof, staring at the suitcase. The biological information inside had been scanned and transmitted, and Betelgeuse had no permission to view it.
He didn't want to know either.
Betelgeuse and Lianchuan have different appearances, but they are the same person from a biological point of view, so although Betelgeuse is the highest weapon currently publicized in the main city, it will only have temporary permissions on certain occasions, which is no different from none After all, when Betelgeuse is separated, all memories based on temporary permissions will be handed over together.
Lian Chuan didn't want his secret to be discovered, nor did he want to add another layer of chaotic memory, so naturally he had no curiosity.
The boss squatted next to him and looked at the suitcase below with him. After a long silence, the boss stretched out his paw and rubbed it lightly on the ground.
It was only a few minutes, but it was too long for the two of them to do the task.
But even after such a long time, the person who has been able to feel it has never appeared.
"Target confirmed." Minister Chen's voice came from the intercom.
This can be seen as a question sentence, a question about his delay in taking action.
"Confirmed, the target may have an impact on the perception system." Lian Chuan replied, leaning forward slightly.
The boss jumped off the roof at the same time as him.
It is not common for a target to affect the perception system, but it is not surprising that it occurs.
He didn't report this in connection with the person he couldn't find. This has always been the norm. He can't trust anyone except the boss. Reporting this is just to explain his delay in action.
He and the boss quickly approached the suitcase from left and right directions.
There is a slight movement behind the wall, and then it disappears quickly.
Ran.
traveler.
have weapons.
The city guard weapon in the activated state.
A traveler he couldn't find, holding a main city weapon that required the user's biological information to activate.
Now he is more sure that it is not the target in the suitcase that affects the perception system, but the escaped traveler.
This is a situation Lian Chuan has never encountered before.
But after he judged that this person was running away, he didn't make any reaction, and the boss also cooperated tacitly, and didn't even flick his ears.
Keep it as usual, pick up the suitcase and send it back to the internal defense building, the mission is considered complete.
There is more than one hyena behind the wall!
Fortunately, run fast!
Ning Gu ran wildly all the way, much faster than when he came here, and he didn't know where he was going, in short, the farther away from where he was just now, the better.
Due to the arrival of travelers, all areas of the main city have been curfewed, and no pedestrians can be seen on the road, but anyone who sees a person can basically be sure to be a city guard or a hyena.
After running on the empty street for a while, Ning Gu turned into a side street and then an alley.
District D is indeed dilapidated, but it can also be seen that there is a strong breath of life, the kind of life that can be relaxed and alive even if there is no danger.
On both sides of the road, you can occasionally see shops that have been closed. It can be seen here that it is a bit miserable. Looking in from the window, the furnishings and items inside are not much better than the things replaced by ghost towns.
The main city is nothing more than that.
No one was chasing after him, and there was no suspicious person in sight. Ning Gu relaxed a little, but he didn't dare to stop, and ran anyway. His experience is that his body gets hot when he runs, and his reaction to any movement will be faster.
Except for a U-turn.
When he turned a corner and saw someone in front of him, it was too late for him to turn around.
The man saw him too.
"Ning Gu?" Hammer lowered his voice in shock.
Hearing this voice, Ning Gu was relieved immediately, and ran towards him at a faster speed: "Hammer..."
"Hyena?" Hammer's reaction was astonishing. Before he finished speaking, he turned his head and kicked his legs and started to run.
Ning Gu's hairs are standing up, hyena
Are you catching up? Don't you know
He immediately accelerated and rushed in front of the hammer, and the hammer quickly passed him again.
The two chase each other silently, and the friendship is there, but at this time, we know that the firmness is still not as strong as him and the nail.
Probably because of being overly frightened, Ning Gu easily found the way he came, the high metal wall with a hole punched out.
"Get out!" cried Hammer.
Ning Gu rushed out with a whoosh, and then turned around.
From the entrance of the cave, you can see the dilapidated building and the empty street below.
He supported the hammer that staggered and almost fell over: "Why are you running?"
Hammer was stunned, turned his head back, and then turned to look at him again: "Why are you running?"
"...All right," Ning Gu was a little speechless, and sat on the ground, "I see."
"I thought someone was chasing you!" It took Hammer a while to confirm that it was a misunderstanding, and he sat down too, "What's wrong with you, can't you walk?"
"What's wrong with you being afraid of becoming like this? Aren't you very powerful?" Ning Gu said, "Nail also said that you can protect me."
"Are you dead?" said the Hammer. "You're not dead, are you?"
Ning Gu stared at him, leaned back against the wall, and laughed.
"Where did you go? I thought you were behind me, but I didn't see you when I turned around." Hammer frowned, "I was so anxious."
"I may have encountered a hyena just now," Ning Gu whispered, "There is a wall between me, just over there."
Hammer waved his hand: "Impossible. If it was a hyena, you would be a pile of black scum now. If you were in the wind of the ghost town, there would be no scum left... In fact, there are not too many hyenas, so be careful not to touch them."
Ning Gu didn't speak.
"We can't be here," Hammer stood up, "The city guards will come and find them soon, and they will seal this place."
"How do we go when the car comes?" Ning Gu asked.
"From the bridge," said Hammer, "no one will stop you when you go."
"Why?" Ning Gu asked again.
"I don't know, it's always been like this." Hammer looked around and went back through the hole. "We weren't welcome in the first place, so why not stay if we're leaving? Definitely applaud and see us off."
"Where are you going?" Ning Gu also went back.
"Find a place to hide," Hammer said. "Take up your defenses and go to Lost Valley. No one cares about it. Travelers usually go there."
The screen is playing pictures quickly. At this speed, the naked eye cannot distinguish the content, but the system can identify all suspicious pictures.
This is Betelgeuse's mission memory.
The picture finally stops in front of a silver door, and a line of green words is displayed on the screen.
- After identification, pass
"The memory doesn't need to be reset, wake it up?" Liu Dong said, "We are short on time."
"Then why are you asking me?" Lei Yu frowned.
Fitting with Betelgeuse puts a lot of mental pressure on Lianchuan. Generally, it is recommended not to exceed two hours. In theory, it should be stripped now, but Liu Dong means to test it immediately.
The group of people in the war department, headed by Liu Dong, did not treat Betelgeuse as a person at all. Even if they knew that once Lianchuan collapsed, they would never find another person who could match Betelgeuse. Do whatever it takes.
After all, the purpose of all the current tests is to replace this "weapon" that has only one fit person.
There can be no uniqueness, the uniqueness is endlessly controlled by others.
"He was raised by you, just like a son," Liu Dong said, "You still have to ask."
"Well, it's so caring," Lei Yu nodded, "Then peel it off immediately."
Liu Dong laughed, and pressed the keyboard in front of him: "The test is started, and the materials are in place."
"Material 009 is in place." A reply came from the intercom.
"Wake up." Liu Dong said.
Lei Yu stared at the screen, the screen was divided into many grids, monitoring Betelgeuse kneeling on one knee in the huge metal cage from all directions.
He is very familiar with this cage, and Lian Chuan is even more familiar with it.
Unpredictable "stuff" emerging from somewhere indeterminate in the cage would surprise the newly awakened Betelgeuse in unpredictable ways.
The only predictable thing is that all "materials" are extremely aggressive.
The first tests of various new materials are carried out in this cage.
Betelgeuse... No, it's Lianchuan. The reason why Betelgeuse exists is because Lianchuan has an amazing spiritual power that no one can replace. Without Lianchuan, there would be no Betelgeuse.
In this strong cage, Lian Chuan was attacked by various "enhanced" life forms again and again, injured again and again, and suffered extreme pain again and again, but he was able to destroy the target again and again, making those who expected him disappear time and time again. disappointment.
"Confirm." Betelgeuse said, but he didn't make any preparations for defense or attack, and his posture didn't change at all.
009 slowly walked out from the small door opened in the corner, as if taking a walk, and slowly walked towards Betelgeuse with its back facing it.
Lei Yu couldn't help frowning.
Betelgeuse stood up suddenly when 009 took the fifth step, took two steps, jumped up, turned half a circle backwards, and grabbed the railing on the top of the cage.
009 stopped.
Betelgeuse let go of the railing and fell downwards, a silver spike protruding from the skin of his wrist aimed at the top of 009's head.
Liu Dong patted the table in front of him, and Lei Yu turned to look at him.
Betelgeuse had already found the weakest point before 009 started attacking, no matter what the battle situation was, it was meaningless.
"How did he do it?" Liu Dong whispered.
"This part is the ability of Betelgeuse." Lei Yu said.
"I know," Liu Dong flicked the desktop, "How on earth did he fit Betelgeuse? How did he do it?"
This is a question that has not been answered since the day Betelgeuse was born.
Lei Yu didn't speak.
Because it will disappear if it doesn't fit, although this answer is not convincing.
But Lei Yu knew that this was the only reason why Lian Chuan could fit in.
He doesn't want to disappear, so he has to fit in.
"Ah!" Ning Gu, who was lying on the ground, yelled shortly, and his whole body bounced up as if he had been stabbed.
Hammer, who was staring out of the window, was so frightened by his movement that he almost jumped out of the window.
"What are you doing!" He pressed his hand on the ground while suppressing his voice, and Ning Gu, who fell back, was controlled by him on the ground, unable to move or speak.
"Did you dream?" Hammer asked.
Ning Gu blinked.
Hammer's hand left the ground and heaved a sigh of relief: "Why did you react so violently?"
"I don't know." Ning Gu sat up, raised his hand and scratched his head twice, "I rarely dream, I just don't know what happened."
"A traveler, it's amazing to be able to fall asleep in the main city," Hammer smiled, "What did you dream about?"
Ning Gu raised his head and looked at him: "Monsters kill monsters. A black man with several metal sticks stuck on his body can still fight. He killed several monsters who beat him with wheels."
Hammer also looked at him, and didn't speak for a long time.
"What's wrong?" Ning Gu raised his boots, "Are you scared? You're not too scared."
"Did anyone tell you about Betelgeuse?" Hammer asked.
"No," Ning Gu glanced at him, "What is that?"
"The person who drove all travelers out of the main city back then." Hammer's voice was very low, as if he was afraid of being heard.
"Oh, then I know something... why did you suddenly say this?" Ning Gu asked, this topic is a taboo in the ghost town, he just knew it vaguely, and the head of the team didn't let him ask. If he was in the ghost town now, Hammer would not dare to mention .
"The one with the stick..." said Hammer, "is Betelgeuse."
