Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 67: Night city

   After taking the remaining food, a group of five people left Room 605 and went down the stairs to the first floor.

   "Driving over?" Jiang Baimian glanced at the Jeep who was parked on the side.

  The black marsh iron snake skin tied to the roof is so conspicuous that no one pays attention to the solar charging panel.

   "Too much movement." Qiao Chu shook his head.

   Jiang Baimian wanted to say that this is an electric car. As long as the simulated sound waves are turned off, there will be almost no much movement. Who knows that Qiao Chu, wearing an exoskeleton device, suddenly trot and left a word:

   "Catch up!"

   Jiang Baimian said nothing, and together with Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen, holding their weapons, they ran towards the exit with small steps.

   At this time, there are many clouds in the high altitude, only a few sparse stars can be seen, and the moon occasionally shows a little face, sprinkling a faint glow.

  Darkness is the main color of the ruins of this city.

   In the extremely quiet and dead environment, Shang Jianyao and others did not turn on the flashlights, trot through the main road and entered the opposite street.

   In the process, they always feel like they are being swallowed by the dark night, and the surrounding abandoned cars and the trees beside the road are shadowy, like monsters hiding in the dark.

   Faced with such a situation, the "old tune group" naturally spread out in accordance with the usual training and pulled a certain distance.

   Among them, Jiang Baimian followed Qiao Chu closely, Long Yuehong was on the right, Bai Chen was on the left, and Shang Jian Yao was at the end.

   Their speed has always been kept within a certain range, so that they will not ignore the observation and alert of the surrounding environment because of running.

   ran, Shang Jian Yao suddenly changed direction and rushed into an open room on the left side of the street.

   Jiang Baimian and the others reacted to the stress, rolled on the spot, and each found an abandoned car for defense.

   Qiao Chu also stopped and turned to look at Shang Jian Yao.

   The "comprehensive early warning system" of the exoskeleton device told him that there were no abnormalities around him.

   However, he still raised the rather peculiar silver rifle to guard against accidents.

   He immediately used the "Integrated Early Warning System" to observe Shang Jian Yao's destination.

   Although it is a very dim night, Qiao Chu has auxiliary equipment, so he can easily see the situation on the left side of the street from a long distance.

   Like other streets, the side-by-side, outward-facing rooms are almost all open. Inside, they are either dilapidated or very old. The only thing in common is that no life can be seen.

   Some of their signboards fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, some were mottled and faded, the handwriting was blurry, some were missing, and only parts were left, and some were hanging diagonally, and would not fall.

   And the room where Shang Jian Yao rushed into, the signboard was still hanging on the top, the blue background was only two white characters left:

   "...maintenance..."

   At this time, Shang Jian Yao had taken off the flashlight and took photos in the narrow room.

   He quickly opened various cabinets and found some small instruments and tools, as well as various components and circuits with and without packaging, and stuffed them into the camouflage backpack.

   put on the backpack again and hung up the flashlight, Shang Jian Yao trot back to the street with the "Berker" assault rifle.

   Joe, wearing a helmet, ran over at first sight, several strides.

   In his experience, once he "follows" him, unless he shows the intention to actively attack, no one will make his own claim and will inevitably follow his instructions. Even if there are doubts and doubts, he should ask and provide suggestions at best.

   At this point, Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen behaved as "normal" enough.

   In front of Shang Jianyao, Qiao Chu asked in a deep voice:

   "Why leave the team without authorization?"

   Shang Jian Yao answered calmly:

   "My brain twitched."

   "..." Qiao Chu's eyes narrowed. On the goggles, Shang Jianyao's figure appeared in a relatively abstract state, approaching the target.

   This is the "precision aiming system" that was naturally activated when he raised the silver rifle.

   After a few seconds of silence, Qiao Chu breathed out slowly and lowered the muzzle:

   "Continue to the destination."

   Although his voice is not loud, Jiang Baimian and others have been paying attention to the situation here, and quickly left the hiding place and returned to the team.

   The five people once again ran towards the three-way intersection at the end of the street in accordance with the formation and posture just now.

   In the ruins of this city, the wind at night was a little bit cold, blowing Long Yuehong as if he had returned to the "Pangu Creature", after the lights were turned off.

When    quickly turned to the left road, he couldn't help but look up and glance at the sky.

   Since coming to the surface, his first wish is to see the real sky, his second wish is to see the sun shining on everything, and his third wish is to see the starry sky shown in the textbook.

   Now, he has fulfilled his first and second wish, only the third wish has been delayed.

  ——The weather has been abnormal for a long time recently, the night is always cloudy, only a few stars and part of the moon can be seen occasionally, which is not a starry sky at all.

   I don’t know when I can see the real stars... Just as Long Yuehong retracted his gaze, he saw Qiao Chu and Jiang Baimian raising their hands sideways, aiming at a place, and pulling the trigger.

   The only difference is that Jiang Baimian first drew out the "Union 202" without using a grenade gun.

Snapped! boom!

   Two slightly different voices sounded one after another.

   With a flash of silver and white light, on a street tree in the middle of the street on the right, a figure with torn clothes and some parts of the exposed figure fell straight down and crashed on the top of the abandoned car.

   His blood spread quickly.

   The crude shotgun shell in his hand flew out and landed on the road.

   "A ‘unintentional’." Jiang Baimian held the grenade gun firmly with only his left arm.

   Her night vision ability is obviously better than ordinary people.

   Bai Chen asked subconsciously:

   "Do you want to pick up that gun?"

   "The gun is no longer needed. It seems that the gun was made by some wilderness homeless settlements. It is unnecessary." Jiang Baimian shook his head.

The destruction of the Old World has been for many years, many guns have been useless, many bullets of many sizes have been exhausted, and the major forces with a certain production capacity initially imitated the old world weapons to facilitate the maximum use of materials. In recent decades, internal standardization has gradually begun-although this is certainly a reference to the weapons of the past, many types have been reduced.

As a result, the guns obtained by many relic hunters and wilderness wanderers are either broken and cannot be repaired, or they are slowly unable to find suitable bullets. They have to increase their efforts to search for the ruins or buy smuggled by powerful forces. Arms, on the one hand, try homemade weapons and bullets.

   Among the latter, the shotgun is undoubtedly a good choice. The equipment required is quite simple, and many wilderness homeless settlements have it.

   Such a shotgun fell into the hands of "the unintentional", indicating that it is likely that ruin hunters or wilderness wanderers have been hunted.

   "Do you want to search?" Bai Chen asked again.

   "No." Qiao Chu, who had just used the electromagnetic weapon of the exoskeleton device, replied, turning his body.

   Bai Chen no longer insisted, and a group of five people continued to trot towards the predetermined destination.

   After turning another street, Qiao Chu suddenly slowed down.

   Jiang Baimian also raised his hand and pressed down, signaling Shang Jian Yao and Long Yuehong to stop.

   With a brighter moonlight than before, Shang Jian Yao saw a gray and black abandoned car ahead.

   Next to the car, there was a person sitting on the ground.

   This man has a face with a Chinese character and is wearing the so-called old-world formal wear. His upper body is leaning against the door of the car, his eyes are closed, whether it is life or death.

   "Wu Shoushi..." Jiang Baimian recognized the man.

   This is the relic hunter they met in the wilderness before.

  -The other party and his companions told the "Old Tune Team" the news of the new ruins found north of Yuelu Station.

   At this moment, Wu Shoushi is alone, and his life and death are unknown.

   "There are signs of life." Jiang Baimian made a judgment based on the electrical signals he sensed.

   Qiao Chu observed for a while, and then said:

"He is sleeping."

   Hearing the word "sleep", Jiang Baimian's pupils were slightly enlarged, and he quickly raised his right hand to shoot at the location of Wu Shoushi.

   However, she was not aiming at people, but car glass.

   At this moment, Shang Jian Yao had already taken the lead and shot Wu Shoushi's car with a short shot.

In the sound of    da, a glass window shattered directly.

   Wu Shoushi's eyes moved slightly, as if he was about to wake up, but at this moment, his expression was suddenly distorted, and his whole body twitched twice, completely losing his movement.

   "He is dead?" Long Yuehong asked in shock.

"In theory ~www.readwn.com~ there is still a chance to be rescued..." Jiang Baimian said so, but she had no idea of ​​going forward. At the same time, she guarded her surroundings and moved to an abandoned car. .

  Bai Chen did the same, and reminded:

   "The horrible nightmare horse may have returned."

  Long Yuehong was startled, and tried to keep her eyes wide open, not to let herself fall asleep.

   Qiao Chu didn't speak, but using the "comprehensive early warning system", he focused on searching for possible "enemy" around him.

   Shang Jian Yao looked at Wu Shoushi in front of him, and suddenly said:

   "Will you sleep on the street? Although I will..."

   "That nightmare horse can force people to sleep?" Jiang Baimian instantly understood what Shang Jianyao wanted to express, "However, when we encountered it before, it did not show this."

   After she and Shang Jian Yao woke up from a real nightmare, they didn't fall asleep again for some reason.

   "Either it can only sleep one person at a time, and will choose to give up when facing a large number of targets, or..." Shang Jianyao raised his head and looked at Qiao Chu who was wearing an exoskeleton device.

   Before Qiaochu faced the nightmare horse alone, he has lived to the present.

   Shang Jian Yao paused and said:

   "Either there are other monsters here, monsters that can force people to sleep."

   Hearing these words, Long Yuehong's body felt cold, only to feel that there were many things hidden in the surrounding darkness.

   "I'll see if I can save it, you pay attention to my situation." Then, Shang Jianyao approached Wu Shoushi in an upright decoy posture.

   He just walked two steps forward, and suddenly there was a desolate roar somewhere in the ruins of the city:

   "Woohoo!"

   The voice resounded through the sky, making people tremble.
