Embers Ad Infinitum

　　 "Urban Smart Network Control Center", 17th floor.

　　 Wearing exoskeleton equipment and carrying a silver rifle, Qiao Chu returned to the elevator hall.

　　 He was about to press the button to make the elevator that had stopped on the 16th floor go up, but saw that the number representing the elevator next to him jumped from "16" to "17".

　　 This means that after two or three seconds, the door of that elevator will open, and the people inside are highly likely to be enemies and not friends.

　　 Qiaochu didn't hesitate, but inside the golden eyes that were blocked by the goggles, a circle of seemingly true and imaginary ripples swayed.

　　 Almost at the same time, he saw countless figures around him.

　　 These figures are a little illusory, rushing to the potted plants in the elevator hall, frantically nibbling on yellow leaves, shrinking branches, and dry soil.

　　 Qiao Chu didn't feel physical hunger, but he seemed to be infected by such a scene. He couldn't help thinking that he was hungry and he had to eat something.

The thought of 　　 filled his mind and made him unable to think about other things.

　　 "Hungry Ghost Road"!

　　 Qiaochu's hands covering the black metal bones immediately reached into his pockets, took out a bag of dried beef, and brushed the floor to tear it open.

　　 Then, he frantically stuffed the black beef jerky into his mouth and tried to swallow it.

　　 But this beef jerky is as hard as a rock. It doesn't need to be soaked in saliva, and it does not need to be torn and ground by teeth. It is impossible to eat it.

　　 Qiaochu was undoubtedly choked, and even thought that he would choke to death here, becoming the commissioner of the Institute for the most ridiculous cause of death.

　　 The instinct to survive and the fact that food has entered his mouth, allowed him to resist the hunger self-awareness to a certain extent, and was able to distract him and make some chewing.

　　 At this time, the gray-black metal door of the elevator next to it opened, and a dark black robot in a tattered monk's robe and a red robe jumped out.

　　 The machine eye on the metal face of Jingfa is bright red, as if rendering a **** world.

　　 He looked at Qiao Chu who was wearing a military exoskeleton device. Instead of raising his arms directly, using grenade launchers, laser weapons and flamethrowers, he took a big step and jumped over, preparing to stun the opponent with a real iron punch.

　　 Qiao Chu couldn't stop biting the beef, chewing and swallowing it, while reluctantly shrinking his body, he rolled to the side with difficulty, avoiding the punch of the mechanical monk Jing Fa.

　　 In this process, he followed the strong idea of ​​looking for food and put his right hand into his pocket again.

　　 This time, he took out not only an energy bar, but also a stack of playing cards.

　　 At this time, Qiao Chu had already swallowed beef jerky, his eyes turned white and tears were left, but this also relieved him a bit of hunger, and was able to throw the pile of playing cards to the ground.

　　 Pop, in the sound of playing cards landing, Qiao Chu rolled to a position near the stairwell.

　　 What was reflected in his eyes was the mechanical monk's purification technique that quickly turned to pounce again, and it was the pair of red eyes.

　　 "Go... play... cards..." Qiao Chu said three words vaguely while eating beef jerky and energy bars.

　　 The Jing Fa who just rushed to his side was stunned.

　　 The head of the mechanical monk directly turned a half circle and looked at the playing cards on the ground.

　　 The red light in his eyes flashed, his feet could not control himself and walked over, bending down to pick up the cards.

　　 At this moment, to him, nothing seems more important than playing cards.

　　 Even if the companion needs rescue, even if the danger is close at hand, you have to play a hand first.

　　 When the net method picked up those playing cards, the hunger that Qiao Chu thought he had disappeared instantly, and the whole person returned to normal, but he still choked a little.

　　 He can completely imagine what he has become under the metal helmet:

　　Because he was still swallowing food desperately so as not to be choked to death, his face was distorted, his eyes turned slightly white, tears and snot flowed, there was nowhere to call it handsome.

　　 This made him extremely angry, distracted and raised his arm, ready to attack Jingfa with a grenade launcher and electromagnetic weapons at the same time.

　　 At this moment, Jing Fa has already turned his body, synthesizing the sound channel with that unique, cold electron:

　　 "Let's play cards together."

　　 The price he paid is so great, and his psychological distortion is so serious that he didn't play cards there silently and intently, but decided to combine the two "hobbies" into one, pulling Qiao Chu together!

　　While the mechanical monk was speaking, Qiao Chu once again saw countless, slightly blurred figures, and once again strongly believed that he was very hungry and had to eat something.

　　 Fortunately, he still has food in his mouth and still has something to eat, which makes him not so "hungry" in the initial stage, and he can be distracted to do something.

　　 Qiao Chu quickly raised his left hand, covering the goggles of the metal helmet.

　　 He suddenly became extremely depressed. Even if he thought he was very hungry, he didn't want to eat or do anything.

　　 When he was no longer choked, he let go of his left hand and looked at the mechanical monk who came with poker.

　　 That kind of depression seems to be contagious, and Jing Fa suddenly feels that everything has become meaningless, and everything is just an illusory dream.

　　 In the incomprehensible depression, the dark black mechanical monk seemed to have realized something. He suddenly sat down cross-legged, folded his hands together, and whispered:

　　 "Nanwu Ahu Duola Sanhao Sanbodhi, all active methods are like dream bubbles..."

　　 Qiao Chu relieved immediately, using his waist and abdomen, relying on the military exoskeleton device, he jumped directly into the air.

　　 A jet of white air jetted out, pushing him horizontally into the stairwell.

After 　　 landed, Qiao Chu raised his arm and pointed the grenade launcher at the mechanical monk wearing a ragged monk robe and red robes.

　　Jingfa is still chanting the scriptures in a low voice, as if he has fully realized.

　　 glanced at the loaded grenade, Qiao Chu realized that this was not the kind with high explosive performance, and he hesitated suddenly.

　　——Because the preset enemies are "higher unintentional people" and distorted creatures, not robots, he did not change the grenade before acting.

　　 And this kind of grenades, one or two rounds are probably not capable of destroying the mechanical monks.

　　 This will help the other party to get rid of frustration, the same is true for electromagnetic weapons.

　　 It may not be too late to replace the grenade on the spot. Qiao Chu can't make the already depressed people even more depressed and always depressed. Once he does not grasp the moment when the mechanical monk's frustration is just over, the situation will become very bad with a new round of control.

　　 After thinking about it for two seconds, Qiao Chu pursed his lower lip and decided to give up this opportunity.

　　 He turned back and ran to the side of the stairs, holding on to the handrail, leaping down, and falling steadily to the next floor.

　　 In this way, Qiao Chu, with the help of the exoskeleton device, jumped layer by layer in the hollow of the stairs, and soon moved away from the 17th floor and went straight to the ground floor.

　　 At this time, the mechanical monk finished the chanting and raised his head again.

　　 On his black metal face, the mechanical prosthetic eyes glowed red like blood again.

　　 In the next second, Jing Fa surpassed the human body structure and jumped directly into the stairwell from sitting cross-legged.

　　 He imitated Qiao Chu's method, holding on to the handrail, turning over and jumping down.

　　…………

　　 Hearing Du Heng's words, Jiang Baimian did not hesitate, and turned his head to Shang Jian Yao and others:

　　 "We will leave immediately."

After 　　 gave her instructions, she nodded to Du Heng:

"Be careful.

　　 "May I see you again."

　　 Du Heng smiled and said:

　　 "At that time, I hope you have enough important news, intelligence or information to trade."

　　 He took another look at Shang Jian Yao:

　　 "Trying to improve your awakened ability is not a good thing. The price is never compensated. You can measure it yourself."

　　 Without waiting for Shang Jian Yao to respond, Du Heng stood up, cats his waist, and in the shadow of the trees, he leaped towards the place where Xiao Chong disappeared.

　　 "Let's go." Jiang Baimian retracted his gaze.

　　 Shang Jianyao nodded, straightened his body, holding the Berserker assault rifle, and trot and hung at the back of the team according to the previous tactical formation.

　　 Soon, they reached the side fence.

　　 Long Yuehong, who was in charge of the left side, quickly glanced outside, and suddenly met a pair of muddy, bloodshot eyes.

　　 "The unintentional"... Long Yuehong was startled, instinctively raised the assault rifle, and flashed a step aside.

　　 On the street outside, the tops of the metal long poles are shining, each illuminating an area.

　　 As far as Long Yuehong knows, these should be street lights in the old world. At this time, at least half of them are still working normally.

　　 The "unintentional" was standing under the street lamp diagonally ahead, wrapped in a shriveled blue jacket, wearing a wide-brimmed hat of the same color, holding a broom and an iron dustpan.

　　 There are some wrinkles on his face, his skin is very rough, and there is no wise light in his eyes. He just stared at Long Yuehong and others blankly, showing no sign of attacking.

　　 Such a scene made Long Yuehong a little surprised, and interrupted his attempt to pull the trigger.

　　 The "unintentional" quickly lowered his head and swept away the fallen leaves accumulated on the roadside.

　　 Seeing this scene, Bai Chen and others suddenly had some inexplicable guesses. UU reading www. uukanshu.cOM

　　 "Go out first." Jiang Baimian recovered quickly and quickly climbed over the metal fence.

　　 Long Yuehong, Bai Chen, and Shang Jianyao left the "Urban Smart Net Control Center" under the cover of their companions and returned to the streets outside.

　　 "He is cleaning the fallen leaves..." Long Yuehong couldn't help but looked at the "unintentional" who had no tendency to "hunt" again.

　　 Jiang Baimian raised his head and looked across his eyes:

　　 "Look there."

　　 Following the direction of her chin, Shang Jian Yao and others saw a tall building.

　　 At the bottom of the tall building are houses on the street side. On each floor above, there are several glass windows showing bright light.

　　 Those glowing lights seemed to form a halo around them, which made Long Yuehong feel a little warm.

　　 Among them, there are many people moving behind some windows on the lower floors.

Some of them seem to be holding a baby, pacing back and forth by the window, some holding a rag, carefully wiping the glass, and some sitting on the sofa by the window, holding something unknown, and staring at the opposite wall blankly. On the LCD screen...

　　 Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and the others were barely able to see clearly, they all wore outdated and messy clothes, their movements were dull, their eyesight was sluggish, and they were obviously "unintentional".

　　 On the LCD screen watched by the "unintentional", the picture is colorful, with landscapes, people, text, and boxes, but the whole frame is frozen and there is no change.

　　 But this does not prevent the "unintentional" from seeing very attentively.

　　 Jiang Baimian was silent for two seconds, and said in a complex tone:

　　 "It is these ‘unintentional ones’ who regularly ‘maintain’ this city...

　　 "Whenever the light comes on, they become like normal people..."
