Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 71: remind

   The man wearing a ripped woolen cap was talking, and suddenly he couldn't control his voice:

   "He can't be an aberrant creature, right?"

   He has fresh memories of his previous experience, full of fear, and once he finds the corresponding signs, he will inevitably think about similar aspects.

   "He is obviously smart enough, he is definitely not a ‘unintentional’, and he also looks like a human being." An Ruxiang denied his companion’s guess without hesitation.

"What if he is a monster, just to make us'feel' like a person? Think about it, the previous'higher unintentional man' didn't take out anything, let us think that she has something extremely precious and must be obtained. Items." The man in the torn woolen hat retorted slightly quickly.

   An Ruxiang couldn’t explain, he thought about it and said:

  " Indeed, this is possible. However, there is another possibility:

   "He is an awakened person, one of his abilities is charming."

   The man wearing a ripped woolen cap thought about it carefully:

"When you say this, I think it's really possible, hehe, in my heart, the awakened are almost the same as the deformed creatures. No, they are more terrifying and weird than most of the deformed creatures. It should be said that this time with us It's almost the same."

   Most aberrant creatures are closer to the residents of Black Marsh Iron Snake and Black Rat Town, and certain parts of the body have changed, bringing a certain and fully understandable enhancement.

   Hearing the words of her companion, An Ruxiang couldn't help but recall the encounter.

   After several hours have passed, with her experience and will, she still can't get out.

  It was like a real nightmare that couldn't wake up anyhow.

   An Ruxiang took a breath and exhaled it slowly, looking back at the street when he came:

  "Will they be charmed too?

   "I remember the first time I met them in the wilderness, there were only four of them, and there was no man who was suspected of being Awakened.

   "Would you like to remind them?"

   The man wearing a ripped woolen cap immediately shook his head and said:

   "This is too dangerous!"

   An Ruxiang meditated for a few seconds and said:

  "They told us about the situation of the guard stone and returned the most important items to us. They also put the body of the guard stone in a closed room to prevent the ‘unintentional’ from quickly discovering, eating him...

   "For me, this is a heavy favor, a ‘thing’ that is worth many things."

"Didn't you also share the information with them?" The man in the holed plush cap tried his best to stop it. "Don't think about it, that person wearing a military exoskeleton device, even if he is not the awakened, can easily solve us! "

   An Ruxiang nodded:

   "Don't worry, I won't risk it. I have to take back the body of Shou Shi.

"It hasn't been long since they are not too far away from us. I plan to be right here and shout a few words loudly. As for whether they can hear or understand their situation after hearing it, it is not something I can control. "

   "Scream here?" The man in the torn woolen hat looked around, "Okay, I will shout for you, and leave immediately after shouting."

   An Ruxiang turned around, hung up the black pistol, folded his hands into a trumpet shape, and brought it to his mouth.

   The next second, her sharp and high-pitched voice rang:

   "He has charm!

   "Be careful to be controlled by him!"

  …………

   Long Yuehong carried the "Berker" assault rifle, guarding the corresponding area, and trotting to the left of the team.

   After listening to An Ruxiang's account and the discussion with group leader Bai Chen, he became even more afraid of this exploration. Whether it is forced sleep, a real nightmare, or an irresistible trap, all of them are a little beyond his ability to bear, making him instinctively feel that this is not something he can handle.

   If it hadn’t been for Shang Jianyao’s “inference clown” and the mechanical monk’s “hungry ghost”, Long Yuehong felt that she might have collapsed now.

   Uncontrollable fear kept growing in Long Yuehong's heart, making him unable to help but examine this action.

Why should we take such a big risk... Didn’t the team leader say that before we really adapt to life in dust and accumulate enough experience, won’t we take us to places that are too dangerous... Help Qiaochu really should, as long as he can? I have a better impression of me... But, is it worth it? I'm not married yet... During the trot, Long Yuehong looked at the figure wearing the exoskeleton device in the front, and fell into a strong struggle. .

   looked around, he suddenly felt sad:

   I was genetically modified and only 1.75 meters tall. I looked average. I had only average grades in various subjects. I was also assigned to the most dangerous team of the Ministry of Safety. I was called the son of bad luck. How could Qiao Chu look at me? Forget it, it's better to give up actively...

give up……

   Long Yue's red eyes were gradually lost, as if he had caught something wrong and couldn't tell.

   At this time, there was an intermittent voice in the wind:

   "Charm...be careful...control..."

   The voice is very sharp, but because of the distance, it is very unclear.

   Jiang Baimian immediately slowed down, tilting his head slightly and said:

   "What is this shouting?"

   "I only heard ‘careful’." Shang Jianyao replied solemnly, "It seems that someone is offering us good blessings."

   The next second, another voice came from the wind:

   "Charm...be careful...control..."

   This time, it was a high-pitched male voice.

   "Control..." Bai Chen tried to distinguish.

   The face of Qiao Chu at the front of the team changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice:

   "No more delay, let's go."

   "Okay." Jiang Baimian couldn't refuse.

   The group of five trot again.

  Long Yuehong is on the left side of the team, and there is always the voice that I heard in my mind:

   "Be careful...control...

   "Control carefully?

   "Control carefully..."

   He was shocked, vaguely aware that there was something wrong with the current situation.

   He turned his head subconsciously and looked at Shang Jian Yao who had the best relationship in the team.

   During the trot, he saw Shang Jian Yao grinning open, and he returned with a bright smile.

  What does he mean... Long Yuehong tried to understand Shang Jianyao's ideas, but failed.

   He turned to think about the bits and pieces along the way, trying to find clues related to the problem.

   After two or three minutes, they walked around a building and saw the destination "sinking" in the dark.

   It was a building hundreds of meters high, with a large courtyard and extremely quiet inside.

  Because there are still two to three hundred meters, Shang Jianyao and others could not see clearly what was written on the plaque lying horizontally on the ground at the courtyard gate.

   At this moment, Qiao Chu at the front suddenly stopped.

   After that, he leaned back and fell to the ground amidst the sound of metal collision.

   Jiang Baimian and others watched this scene in amazement, and subconsciously moved closer to confirm the problem.

   Almost at the same time, the exoskeleton device made a beep, and all the auxiliary joints shook together.

   Qiao Chu's body moved and he slowly got up.

   At this time, Jiang Baimian seemed to have noticed something, holding a grenade gun, and pulling the trigger to the side above a street tree.

   Boom!

   A ball of fire swelled rapidly, showing the ignited canopy and a figure jumping into a building on the street.

   It was a cat-shaped creature with a body length of one meter. There seemed to be no hair or skin on the body, and blood-red "muscles" were directly exposed.

   Its tail seems to come from a scorpion, covered with a brown hard shell, with barbs; on its shoulders, clusters of white bone spurs are like decoration; on the top of its head, it seems to have four ears.

   No matter how you look at it, it is not a normal creature.

   The monster leaped into a certain room on the second floor and almost avoided the explosion of the grenade. Then, it ran quickly, broke away from Jiang Baimian's sensing range, and disappeared into the depths of the buildings on the street.

   At this time, Qiao Chu had returned to normal and stood up again.

   He glanced at the direction where the monster disappeared, and said in a deep voice:

   "I fell asleep just now.

   "Fortunately, this exoskeleton device has a good wake-up function."

   "Is that a monster that forces people to fall asleep?" Bai Chen reacted immediately.

   "It looks like a distorted creature." Jiang Baimian made a judgment.

   Qiao Chu did not try to chase the cat-shaped monster, pointing to the destination and said:

   "Let's go over."

   Shang Jian Yao was the first to express his position and ran to the tall building with its own courtyard.

   Jiang Baimian and others hurriedly followed.

   "Would you like to give it a name?" Shang Jian Yao asked suddenly while running ~www.ltnovel.com~.

   "Who?" Jiang Baimian was a little at a loss.

   "That monster just now." Shang Jianyao said seriously, "Call it a ghost cat?"

   "It's so ugly." Jiang Baimian subconsciously denied, "It's called Sleeping Cat!"

   While talking, they arrived at their destination and came to the courtyard gate.

   With the help of the slightly faint starlight and moon, they could clearly see the black plaque lying horizontally on the ground.

   The plaque is made of stone, and it doesn't look too dirty, just like it is often washed by rain or "maintained" by someone.

   None of the gold characters on its surface fell off, and they were all in gray.

   These words form a noun that Long Yuehong has never heard of:

  "Urban Intelligent Network Control Center"

   "Where is this place?" Long Yuehong blurted out.

   Jiang Baimian explained a little bit:

   "In some cities, water pipes, natural gas pipelines, electrical wires, and optical fibers are all integrated to form a huge intelligent pipe network.

   "The one who controls this pipe network is the urban intelligent network center."

   "Then... why are we here?" Long Yuehong became more and more puzzled.

   At this time, Qiao Chu, wearing an exoskeleton device, said indifferently:

  " Around the ruins of this city, there is a hydroelectric power station still in operation, and it is still ‘maintained’. In the ruins of this city, many lines have also been ‘maintained’ and are well maintained.

   "All we need to do is to enter the control center and turn on the power again."

   "Why power on?" Jiang Baimian asked subconsciously.

   Qiaochu was silent for two seconds and said:

   "To open all the doors of a laboratory."
