Chapter 66 Early morning

"I found something." Shang Jianyao walked back to the living room area with the long white hair.

In order to let Qiao Chu, Jiang Baimian and the others see clearly, he turned the flashlight and shone it on his hand.

The yellow column of light spread slightly, reflecting Shang Jian Yao's face was extremely gloomy, which scared Long Yuehong so much that he almost jumped up and shot him.

"Look at my hand." Shang Jianyao seemed to have expected Long Yuehong's reaction, but it was not until this time that he added.

Long Yuehong breathed slowly, moved her eyes and looked over,

In the yellowish column of light, slight dust flies and white hair shakes gently.

"Where did you find it?" Jiang Baimian asked.

Shang Jianyao pointed to the wall where the LCD screen was hung:

“On the pillows in this bedroom.”

"Only one?" Jiang Baimian asked.

"In theory, this is true unless it can swallow its companions and evolve itself." Shang Jianyao replied seriously.

"To learn this kind of thing in basic courses now?" Jiang Baimian said casually, as if he was distracted from thinking about various possibilities.

Bai Chen, who was listening quietly, pulled the old scarf around his neck and said:

"What was left behind when the old world was destroyed?"

Hair is not so prone to rot in similar environments.

"There is no reason to leave only this one." Jiang Baimian expressed his doubts, "And don't we have a preliminary judgment? This city will have some degree of "maintenance". Some situations in this room also confirm this point, just like we found traces of mouse movement in the restaurant and kitchen, but they left nothing except bite marks and scratches."

"The more you hear this, the more terrifying it is..." Long Yuehong couldn't help but mutter.

A city that has long been dead is still cleaning up debris regularly and "maintaining" itself!

Without knowing the reason, this is even more scarier than the ghost stories on the radio show!

"The mice may have been eaten by the active 'intentional people' here, and they also need food." Bai Chen expressed his guess.

Jiang Baimian said "yes":

"It's possible. But will the 'unintentioned' help the mice clean? They only have the survival instinct left."

"What's impossible? Don't they all sing?" Shang Jianyao turned off the flashlight in his hand and said seriously.

"..." Jiang Baimian gave him a blank look, "Do you care about the kind of roaring and singing? Besides, even if they still have a certain instinct to clean up the environment, although I have never seen it in the "unintentional people" in other places, just think they have it first. In short, they should also be "maintenance" often, instead of doing it for a long time. After all, they do not have too much thinking ability and will only act according to their instincts."

Judging from the situation in the streets, buildings and rooms, it has not been maintained for a long time.

Shang Jianyao strives for the "reason":

“Humans have the instinct to be lazy.

“How often do you usually clean the room?”

Jiang Baimian was speechless for a moment and glanced at Qiao Chu and said:

“I just perform tasks in the wilderness more casually, which is a manifestation of sociability.

"When you are in the company, if you cook by yourself, you will clean it every day, more than once, and eat in the cafeteria, clean it once every three days and clean it once a month."

Since their discussion began, Qiao Chu, who had not spoken, suddenly asked:

"Are you 'Pangu Biology', or 'United Industry', 'Orange', 'Future Intelligence'?"

"We are 'Pangu creatures'." Jiang Baimian replied truthfully.

Qiao Chu touched the silver rifle that was lying on his knees, nodded slightly and said:

“No need to discuss that hair, this is not a big deal.

"Eat, rest, and wait for the early morning."

"Okay." Shang Jianyao and others gave up the discussion, found a seat to sit down, took the purified water in the water bag, and started eating food such as compressed biscuits and energy bars.

After filling his stomach, Jiang Baimian stood up, walked to the window in the restaurant area, and looked at the weed lawn below.

She originally planned to express her needs directly, but after taking a look at Qiao Chu, she became a little embarrassed again:

"I, go down and make it easier."

"The toilet here can be solved directly." Shang Jianyao looked eager to try, as if he wanted to share the method he found with his companions.

"No need... affects rest." Jiang Baimian politely declined his kindness.

Sitting on the chair, Qiao Chu, who seemed to be closing his eyes to rest, opened his eyes and said:

"You can go to the corner of 601."

Jiang Baimian instinctively shook his head:

"It's better to be careful about this weird place.

"If the stronger odor is not buried and is close to it, it may cause unnecessary trouble."

"It's okay." Qiao Chu insisted on his opinion.

Jiang Baimian didn't want to refute and chose to obey.

Bai Chen stood up:

"I'll go with you."

"It just happened to help each other to guard." Jiang Baimian nodded gently and smiled, "Even if you don't want to go, I have to take you there."

Long Yuehong clamped his thighs and looked at Shang Jianyao and said:

"Go together later?"

"Okay." Shang Jianyao responded with regret, "Since Qiao Chu said it's okay, we can be more relaxed, for example, stand on the railing, open the window, and directly face the outside..."

"Stop!" Long Yuehong stopped his jumping thinking, or sudden whim.

After such an episode, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen each occupied one end of the sofa, curled up and prepared to rest. Qiao Chu was still sitting on the chair, closing his eyes, not knowing whether he was resting or was asleep.

Shang Jianyao sat cross-legged on the railing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the direction of the tunnel, and monitoring the movements in the dark city. Jiang Baimian did not hold a grenade gun, and walked back and forth in the living room with a "ice moss" pistol, always paying attention to whether there were any abnormalities on the sleeping person.

After a few minutes, a scream of fear rang out somewhere in the city.

In this extremely quiet night, in the ruins of the dead forest-like city, the scream spread from afar, making Long Yuehong, who was not asleep, feel numb and tremble when she heard it.

Immediately afterwards, gunfire sounded one after another.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang, this series of movements were like firecrackers, and they quickly finished burning and returned to silence.

After a while, Shang Jianyao saw a figure jumping out of a nearby alley with the faint starlight.

The figure was hunched over, and his movements were more like a monkey than a human.

He was wearing some clothes and cloth tied around in a mess, and quickly approached the building where Shang Jianyao and others were.

Then, he ran to the other end along the street full of yellow leaves, climbing skillfully to the high place from time to time, and then jumping down lightly.

Seeing such a scene, Shang Jianyao felt that even if he had done genetic improvement and received systematic training, it would be difficult to complete similar actions. After all, the main direction of improvement is not this.

At this time, the clouds moved at high altitude, and the moonlight leaked a little, allowing Shang Jianyao to see clearly the figure.

This should be a male, with lots of black hair, messy and dirty, but not too long and not on his shoulders.

As if he noticed Shang Jianyao's gaze, the figure suddenly turned his head and looked upstairs.

A confused face suddenly appeared in Shang Jianyao's eyes.

"The unintentional one".

This is a "no-hearted person", a "no-hearted person" who is in his prime.

Shang Jianyao did not dodge, opened his eyes and looked at each other quietly at a distance from the "intentional person".

Finally, the "unintentional person" withdrew his gaze and continued to head towards the shadow of the tall buildings in the distance, disappearing there.

Shang Jianyao gradually smiled on his face, as if he had achieved some decisive victory.

Suddenly, he saw another figure.

The figure was also hunched over, and his speed was much slower than the "intentional person" just now.

Shang Jianyao looked at him and saw a wrinkled face, and a messy long white hair.

The figure flashed past and penetrated into the alley on the left - this was the blind spot of Shang Jianyao's sight.

Within the next two hours, Shang Jianyao saw several "unintentional people". Jiang Baimian also noticed this and expressed doubts about the number of "unintentional people" here.

Afterwards, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong woke up and took over their responsibilities.

When Shang Jianyao was woken up from his dream by Long Yuehong, Qiao Chu had already left the chair and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

"It's almost morning." Qiao Chu said calmly.

He immediately took his eyes back from the dark city ruins, and ordered gently with a cold look on his face:

“Put me the exoskeleton device.”

Not long after, with the help of Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen, he put on the military exoskeleton device and activated the system.

After taking the silver rifle, Qiao Chu, whose body was covered with black metal skeleton, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and pointed to a building a few blocks away:

“Our destination is there.”

Shang Jianyao and others looked in the direction he pointed and saw a building that was not short distance from all the surrounding buildings.

It seems to have a large attached courtyard.

At this moment, it was standing quietly in the dark city ruins, with no light shining inside, as if it had long been dead.

A few seconds later, Qiao Chu turned around and walked towards the door, saying in a deep voice:

"Set off!"
Chapter completed!
