When Lei Yu stopped the car and turned his head to wake Lian Chuan up, Lian Chuan opened his eyes, and there was no sign of fatigue on his face. His eyes were so bright that one might suspect that he was pretending to be asleep just now.
"Are you going to my house?" Lei Yu asked, "Let Aunt Chun get you something to eat, I won't eat rations today."
"No," Lian Chuan opened the door and got out of the car, "I'll just go to sleep."
Caracal stood up from the back seat, jumped out of the car window lightly, and walked straight into the building where Lian Chuan lived.
"Lian Chuan." Lei Yu called him through the car door.
Lian Chuan turned around and leaned against the car window: "Huh?"
At this moment, he could vaguely see that he was slightly lethargic, but this state disappeared soon.
"Is 009 a bit strange?" Lei Yu asked.
Lian Chuan gently pushed the hand holding the car window, and pushed himself away from the car door: "No, the material capabilities are not repeated, and they are different every time. If you say it is strange, everyone is strange, but they are almost the same."
"I think..." Before Lei Yu finished speaking, Lian Chuan had already turned around and walked towards the building.
"I don't think so," he said as he walked, "go back, it's getting late."
Lei Yu's question was based on Liu Dong's reaction. He hadn't had any material destroyed before that made him slap the table.
But when he asked, he didn't expect Lian Chuan to answer.
Lian Chuan is very good at covering up, so good that you can't even tell whether he has covered up anything in his life, but what you can be sure that he has never covered up is his distrust of people.
009 Is it strange that I won't talk to you, I can't trust you.
I can't trust anyone.
This kind of vigilance, which seemed to be part of his temperament since he was sensible, did not know where it came from.
Growing up alive in the day-to-day training of the War Department with almost no survivors is not the whole reason, it's just that this kind of vigilance has become "cold" and "cold-blooded" in the eyes of outsiders.
Lei Yu sighed and turned the car around.
With cats around, don't worry too much.
Probably only the boss can be trusted by Lian Chuan, after all, the boss is no longer a person.
Very nauseous.
I felt like throwing up when I took a shower, but I never threw up.
When he walked out of the bathroom, the boss was sitting at the door.
"It's not suitable," Lian Chuan pulled the towel on his waist, "What if I forget you are here and come out naked?"
The boss turned and walked away.
"Do you want to eat something?" Lian Chuan walked to the ration supply box, opened it and looked, the dinner automatically issued by the system was still there, he took out the box, looked at the words on it, "There are apples, vegetables, and more There is beef."
The boss jumped onto the sofa and lay down.
"Have you ever eaten real food?" Lian Chuan put the box on the table, "It's not rations, and it's not the kind made by Aunt Chun. It's the kind recorded in historical materials, not artificial food."
The boss closed his eyes.
"Have we discussed it before?" Lian Chuan rubbed his face and walked to the sleeping cabin, "I'm going to bed first, there are only five o'clock left."
The sleep time starts from 12 o'clock to 8 o'clock during the curfew, and the sleep cabin will display the countdown from 8.
The sleeping cabin in the main city is strictly controlled, not everyone can enter the sleeping cabin, in addition to recovering physical strength, energy, and various strengths, it can also detect and repair some problems in the body in time.
For Lian Chuan, the sleeping cabin is a very useful thing.
Of course, according to regulations, they are also occupations that must enter the sleeping cabin.
It's just that no one may know that their consciousness and body will be separated in the sleeping cabin.
After the lights of the sleep pod are turned off, only a dim yellow number on the top shows the remaining sleep time, and everyone will fall asleep before the countdown begins.
No matter how many times you count down from, you can't see the second number, and the number when you wake up is always 0.
The number on top changed from 5 to 4.
Lian Chuan sometimes wonders why he exists as a person who keeps making mistakes, maybe the only person who makes mistakes in the main city, or the person who makes the most mistakes in the main city.
He could see the second number, the third number, all the way to 0 no matter how many times he counted down.
He can feel that he has left his body, except that he can't move independently, he can feel everything, but everything is very unreal.
Just feel.
He seems to have merged into a thick fog of chaos, with only the pale yellow number in his vision, other than that, he couldn't hear, see, or touch.
This situation does not happen every time, and there is no rule at all.
Can only adapt.
So he learned to think in such "non-existent time".
Pretend to be having a dream.
The traveler hiding behind the wall, the main city weapon activated.
The suitcase he and the boss took back contained 009, and he was sure that even though it had been improved in the first place, he could still tell.
When he retrieved it, he had doubts, such a material, why does it need Betelgeuse? Retrieving the material is not even considered a confidential task, and the internal defense is not forced to use Betelgeuse even for level I tasks.
This question was answered during the confrontation with 009.
009's attack is very strong. When the air is stirred, the wind is like countless sharp knives. Every black incision cut on the skin will have clear pain. This knife can even cut his bones easily.
It's just that this kind of ability is not special among the many materials, and it is not worth transporting it from the ghost town, let alone asking Betelgeuse to pick it up in person.
But when Betelgeuse fought against 009, Lian Chuan felt a kind of fear that he had never experienced before.
Even if I searched the broken memories that have been reset, I couldn't find any similar feelings.
Someone is watching him.
Not the surveillance, nor the people behind the surveillance, not even 009.
What scares him is not "someone is looking at me", but...someone sensed him in a way other than sight.
The one he fears the most and will never appear.
Maybe the one that could find out all his secrets.
009 is a medium.
The people in the war department must not know that 009 has such an ability, or they only know that 009 has some kind of extraordinary ability, but they are not sure what it is, otherwise they will not let it come out to attack frontally, and this rare material will be directly destroyed. Betelgeuse is destroyed in one move.
Lian Chuan couldn't breathe a sigh of relief.
009 is just a medium.
He wants to find the person on the media side.
The traveler who can escape Betelgeuse's induction.
For safety reasons, Hammer forced Ning Gu to stay in that broken house for a long time before walking carefully to the street.
In fact, no one appeared around the whole time, not even a homeless person.
"Are there homeless people in the main city?" Ning Gu asked.
"What do you do as a hyena," Hammer said. "There is definitely no safe zone. I heard that one is broken and another is broken. There may be a few sporadically in the outer area. If you want to see homeless people, there are underground markets."
"I don't want to." Ning Gu said, "How did we sneak into the underground market? At first glance, we are travelers, right?"
"What are you thinking," said Hammer, "we look like tramps."
Ning Gu stared at him for a while, then lowered his head and stared at himself for a long time.
The clothes are indeed quite old. They have been worn for many years. Although they are not too dirty after frequent washing, they have lost their true colors.
Before coming here, Ning Gu really didn't think about this problem.
Is the homeless standard in the main city so high
In the ghost town, a tramp is only a man with rags wrapped around his body. His clothes are like a bully windbreaker, and there are beautiful little leather pockets hanging on his legs.
Before the hammer could react, he had already lifted his leg and kicked the door of a nearby shop.
"What are you doing?" Hammer was startled, turned his head frantically, and looked around nervously.
Travelers generally don't do their hands in such relatively well-managed areas. The security system of the main city is not the same thing as the loudspeaker broadcasting system of the ghost town.
"Find a piece of clothes..." Ning Gu walked in, he had already seen several sets of clothes hanging inside, none of which were new, this should be a shop for second-hand goods.
Just as he was about to reach out to take off his clothes, there was a noise from the corner.
Ning Gu turned his head and saw a man and a woman, huddled together in horror.
"I'll just take..." Ning Gu didn't finish his sentence, the man suddenly rushed to the side, stretching out his hand, not knowing what he wanted to do.
Without thinking about it, Ning Gu kicked him on the wrist, and then kicked him to the wall.
After the man rolled to the side, he saw that there was a button on the ground next to the leg of the chair.
This should be a device for calling for help. You can step on it in an emergency, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Don't kill us, don't kill us!" The woman cried while holding her head.
"Don't shout!" Hammer stood at the door and growled in a low voice, "If you shout again, you will die!"
Ning Gu didn't make a sound, took a long coat from the shelf, put it on himself indiscriminately, turned around and walked out quickly.
The traveler never begged for mercy. The ones he hit, some scolded non-stop, some turned and ran away, but they didn’t beg you to stop beating, so it was the first time he heard someone say such words, some do not adapt.
"Run." Hammer came out and said something.
Ning Gu reacted immediately and ran away.
The button is there, and as soon as they come out, they'll be pressed, and the hyenas will be there in no time.
Area D A6.
Li Liang is the closest, but his partner Lu Qian is a novice, and Lian Chuan and the boss who are squatting nearby still need to go to support, because the residents' alarm shows that two travelers have invaded.
Described as "very fierce", although only one piece of clothing was robbed.
Travelers will not be empty when they come to the main city. They are very busy robbing supplies, food, wine, and exchanging non-essentials.
But two fierce travelers snatched a piece of clothing, which is quite rare.
Lian Chuan had never seen such a humble traveler.
The system cannot confirm the traveler's target and can only scan within the range. After all, the current generation of travelers basically no longer carries the identification information of the main city in their bodies.
Li Liang and Lu Qian went to the store first, and they could collect limited target information on the spot, mainly trying to find a way to capture the residue and predict the traveler's ability.
"They will go to Lost Valley." Lianchuan's A01 turned a corner, accelerated to the most remote area of D area, and the boss followed from the roof, "Boss and I copied to the front to intercept .”
"Okay." Li Liang replied.
Lost Valley is an underground market. It is at the junction of the main city and the Black Iron Wasteland. It is the real junction. It is very fair that half of them are in the wasteland and half are in the main city.
It is also a real underground market, not just referring to transactions that cannot be placed on the surface, it is really underground.
There are countless entrances and exits, with a maze-like layout. People who enter and exit can only remember one of the paths. If they take a wrong step, they will not be able to return to the original place. If the bat comes out of the main city, it will end up disappearing, and vice versa.
What's even more frightening than this is that there are countless forks where you don't know where to go, and you can never come back after entering.
Lost Valley is the business scope of the cleaning team, but even if the task coordinates are in the market, the cleaning team is only setting up a card at the exit.
It's not because the main city left Lost Valley alone and removed the overly complicated and dangerous terrain, but also because this underground market retains the powerful functions left by the main city who doesn't know which generation.
This function cannot be eliminated or copied, and only exists in the underground market.
"We're going to the Valley of Lost Soon," Hammer asked as he ran, "Is anyone chasing us?"
"I don't know," Ning Gu ran happily, "Look back."
"Why don't you turn back?" Hammer asked.
"Turning back will affect my speed." Ning Gu took out the small pocket on his waist and took out a small piece of metal. This was also the nail that was forcibly lent to him and he had to return it himself. He lifted up the shiny piece of metal, Looking at the scene reflected inside, "It seems..."
"Huh?" The hammer tilted his head.
"There's a car flying over the roof..." Ning Gu saw a black car far behind him, and a black figure that couldn't be seen clearly on the car. With such advanced equipment, he almost didn't think about it, but already judged it. Out.
"It's a hyena!" He suppressed his voice.
Hammer didn't speak. When he was staring at the car inside the metal sheet and speeding up to run away, Hammer stopped abruptly. He could even hear the sound of his shoes rubbing against the ground. The soles of his shoes were definitely worn wore.
"What?" Ning Gu couldn't trust and follow Hammer's behavior 100%, after all, he was just Nail's brother, not Nail.
And as soon as they entered the city, the two of them ran wildly because of his surprise.
So Ning Gu slowed down, but did not stop.
But when he shifted his eyes from the approaching black car behind him back to the road ahead, his foot braked suddenly, stronger than the hammer, he stopped almost immediately, and quickly retreated the hammer around.
Right in the middle of the road ahead, there is something.
The body is long and slender, with brown and black smooth fur, and the eyes are fixed on them, and the pupils shrink into a thin black line.
Although I have never seen a real animal with my own eyes, although this animal has no resemblance to the one drawn by Crazy Uncle, although this animal is much bigger than he imagined...
He recognized it instantly.
This is a caracal cat.
According to legend, its owner, the murderous hyena in the main city, should be in the black car behind.
Ning Gu turned his head.
The car behind hovered in the air twenty meters away from them.
From this distance, the people in the car can already be seen clearly.
The black uniforms, the silver exoskeleton wrapped around the body, the dark blue weapons on the arms and legs, have been aimed at their muzzles and the half of their faces behind the muzzles.
You can't see your eyes, you can only see the tight lips under the black goggles and the mandible that looks like a knife. There is no expression, and the coldness from the inside out makes people feel that a voiceover should be played now.
"It's Lian Chuan, we are dead."
Hammer said.
