Embers Ad Infinitum

　　 "Second person?" After hearing this term, Long Yuehong's mind instantly came up with words such as "cruel", "vicious", "deformed", "dirty", "pollution source", and "hate to humans".

　　 Although he has never met a second person, the textbook and the people around him say so.

　　 Jiang Baimian seemed to be able to sense what Long Yuehong was thinking at this time, and said "Hey":

　　 "Subhumans and humans are essentially the same, at least there is no isolation in reproduction."

　　 Without waiting for Long Yuehong and others to speak again, she continued to say:

"The group of people in Black Rat Town survived the first winter after the destruction of the old world by catching and eating rats. It is said that at that time, the rats in that area were crazy. They all got out of the ground and covered the mountains and plains. Yes, some of them were ulcerated, some had red eyes, and some attacked surrounding living creatures indiscriminately.

　　 "Uh...I'm pulling it far, or go back to the group of people in Black Rat Town.

　　"After the first winter, because the area where they originally lived was too polluted, which has caused a large number of residents to die, they chose to leave and migrated here.

"Unfortunately, the nightmare did not end there. Their bodies gradually changed. Moreover, it may be because they ate too many distorted mice. They are becoming more and more mice-like. Ha, I am not an expert in this area. I haven't done any research, I just said so.

　　 "In short, their hair has become black and heavy, their bodies are always rickets, and their nails are getting harder and sharper...

"After several generations of reproduction, the current residents of Black Rat Town are generally less than 1.4 meters tall. They like to live in caves and are very good at digging. Correspondingly, their types of food have become more diverse. At the same time, they are afraid of strong Sunlight can only be active in the early morning, evening and night.

"They also have a lot of good variations, for example, they are talented in mechanics and electronics. Some old-world electrical equipment was originally badly broken. After they worked for a while, they could barely be used again. Of course, the premise is Corresponding wires and parts."

　　 At this point, Jiang Baimian said "Oh":

"I almost forgot to remind you that you can't say the three words'Black Rat Town' in front of them. This is the code name given to their settlements by some vagrants in the wilderness. It is strongly discriminatory, while those in Black Rat Town It is also the kind with strong self-esteem. Inside the company, there is no hatred for the second person, but dislike, contempt, and rejection are definitely indispensable, so I continue to use this name."

　　 "Why does the company accept them?" Bai Chen, who was driving, couldn't help asking.

As a former wilderness wanderer, she has encountered hostility and unprovoked attacks several times. Coupled with the nightmarish appearance of the other party, she has a serious lack of favor with this group, sometimes even as a Intelligent dangerous creatures to treat.

　　 Jiang Baimian said silently:

　　 "The residents of Black Rat Town do not have too deep resentment towards humans, and they usually regard themselves as normal people.

　　 "If it were not for their sensitivity and low self-esteem, and the company's internal employees were full of prejudice against the second person, the company might gradually absorb them instead of treating them as peripheral vassals.

"Actually, it is not a vassal. It is closer to a cooperative relationship. We exchange weapons, ammunition, old clothes, and certain food with them for the valuable things they have collected. At the same time, they will share important information on the black marsh wilderness. Send it back to the company via radio. Yes, the company collects used clothes from you for similar transactions."

　　 At this point, Jiang Baimian paused:

　　"The company will also recruit volunteers for certain experiments in Black Rat Town.

　　 "In this regard, the residents of Black Mouse Town are very enthusiastic, and they are willing to give everything in exchange for the opportunity of their offspring to become normal people."

　　 Jiang Baimian did not add his own feelings, but Bai Chen still heard with emotion:

　　 "On the dust, the stain of the company's reputation is that it is always associated with biological experiments.

"Before I had in-depth contact with you, I had heard a lot of rumors. I was full of fear of similar experiments. I was afraid that one day I would be caught by'Pangu Creatures' and sent to a hidden place to become a victim of an evil experiment. He had a mental breakdown, his body was deformed, and he became a monster, and he couldn't even die like a human being.

　　 "And the people in Black Mouse Town will take the initiative to sign up as experimental volunteers..."

　　 After hearing what Bai Chen said, Shang Jian Yao and Long Yuehong realized that the company actually has such an image in the eyes of outsiders, just like the big villain in certain stories on radio programs.

　　 This is completely different from their cognition since childhood:

　　 They have always believed that the inside of the company is a paradise, but the outside is very hot.

　　 Jiang Baimian smiled upon hearing this:

　　 "You can hear that this kind of fear has been suppressed in your heart for a long time, so I said so much in one breath."

　　 She immediately raised her left arm and made an elbow bend:

　　"This electric eel-type biological prosthesis is the result of experiments, and so is genetic modification.

　　 "How is it? After witnessing this with your own eyes, doesn't it feel less scary?"

　　 Bai Chen remained silent and did not answer.

　　 "...Understood." Jiang Baimian laughed at himself, "You are even more scared when you see me like this."

　　 She exhaled invisibly:

　　 "One thing you said is quite right, most of the volunteers ended up not very well..."

　　 Inside the jeep, the atmosphere became calm, and no one spoke for a long time.

　　 Several seconds later, Jiang Baimian turned his head to look at Shang Jianyao, "blaming":

　　 "Why don't you make a joke at this time?"

　　 Shang Jian Yao sternly responded:

　　 "As a person who is determined to save all mankind, he never makes jokes on similar topics."

　　 "...also." Jiang Baimian sat upright again.

　　 After another while, she pointed to the front and said:

　　 "Turn left and go into the mountains."

　　 Upon arriving here, a hill appeared on the Black Marsh Wilderness, some of which could even be called hills, and Black Rat Town was located in the mountains.

　　 After driving along the bumpy road for a while, Jiang Baimian couldn't help but roll down the window:

　　"Really, the total distance of the up and down movement is more than the previous one.

　　 "Going out like this once, I must overhaul the chassis..."

　　 While complaining, Jiang Baimian suddenly closed his mouth.

　　 She tilted her head slightly, felt for a while, her brows gradually frowned:

　　 "The electric signal in the direction of Heishuzhen is pitiful."

　　 This has entered her sensing range, and it also shows that Black Rat Town is very close.

　　 Seeing Yao instinctively, Shang raised the "Beerker" assault rifle and put it on the car window:

　　 "Could it be affected by those abnormalities north of Yuelu Station?"

　　 It’s not close to Yuelu Station, but it’s not too far away. You can get there in almost half a day.

　　 "Maybe." Jiang Baimian nodded, his tone obviously more solemn than before.

　　 "Team leader, do I need to wear an exoskeleton device?" Long Yuehong asked relatively calmly instead of being shocked like the previous few days.

　　 "Yes." Jiang Baimian did not despise the unknown.

　　 She then ordered:

　　 "You come and wear it."

　　 "Why not Shang Jian Yao?" Long Yuehong blurted out.

　　 "Shang Jian Yao is going to follow me into Black Rat Town, the exoskeleton device can't get in, uh, it can get in, but it can't be used." Jiang Baimian briefly explained.

　　 Shang Jian Yao had no opinion on this, and remained silent, highly alert for anomalies that might come suddenly.

　　 After Long Yuehong put on the exoskeleton device, the jeep continued to drive.

　　 Two or three minutes later, Jiang Baimian gave the order:

　　 "Stop."

　　 she immediately pointed to the woods and bushes ahead:

　　 "Black Rat Town is over there.

　　 "Long Yuehong opens the way."

　　 "Yes, team leader!" Long Yuehong opened the door and got out of the car first.

　　 After entering the relatively dense woods, the group of four walked forward for several minutes, and suddenly smelled a familiar smell.

　　 That is the smell of blood!

　　 "This is a big trouble..." Jiang Baimian muttered to himself suddenly, as if he had thought of the possible development.

　　 Holding a grenade gun, she speeded up slightly and walked to the other end of the forest.

　　 There is a grayish-yellow mountain wall, where there is a deep cave where the mountain wall is blocked by trees and weeds, and a richer smell of blood escapes from it.

　　 "That is Black Mouse Town." Jiang Baimian said in a deep voice.

　　 Just looking at it, Long Yuehong understood the reason why the exoskeleton device could not be used in Black Mouse Town:

　　 The entrance of the cave is only one meter high, and the exoskeleton device cannot be adjusted to this extent after shrinking, and the cave is obviously shorter.

　　 In this way, after people wearing exoskeleton devices enter Black Mouse Town, which is essentially a cave, ~www.ltnovel.com~, the waist is not worth it, and the combat effectiveness will naturally be greatly reduced.

　　 Before getting close to the cave, Shang Jian Yao and Jiang Baimian looked to the left at the same time, and under a tree, they saw two bodies.

　　 The two corpses were very short, with a tendency to curl up, and their clothing was stripped clean.

　　 Their nails are sharp and hard, they are obviously yellow, and there are a lot of black hair on the body. At first glance, they look like giant rats in heavily polluted areas.

　　 However, those hairs are not dense, you can see through them, you can see the pale skin underneath.

　　 The eyes of the two corpses were round, and the remaining expressions were frightened and resentful, and their bodies and surroundings were soaked with blood that looked indistinguishable from normal humans.

　　 Frankly speaking, apart from the thicker hair, the shorter body, the weird nails, and the paler skin, Shang Jianyao doesn't think the two dead residents of Black Rat Town are fundamentally different from him.

　　 It is not the first time that Long Yuehong has seen a corpse. Although she is still a little scared, nauseous, and does not want to look directly at her, she can control herself.

　　 He hissed:

　　 "Aren't all dead..."

　　 Jiang Baimian subconsciously tilted his head and looked at the deep cave. He didn't have the courage to go in immediately.

　　 She seems to have been able to predict what kind of scene will be inside.

　　 At this time, Bai Chen, who squatted down to examine the corpse, raised his head and said in a deep voice:

　　 "Dead by shooting."

　　 Jiang Baimian narrowed his eyes slightly, and said to himself:

　　 "Who did it..."

　　 After speaking, she took a light breath and walked towards the entrance of "Black Rat Town".

　　 No need to order, Shang Jian Yao followed her closely.
