Chapter 84 Silhouettes of the Old World

Hearing Jiang Baimian's words, Long Yuehong felt a sudden realization, but also felt like she fell into a dream.

He couldn't help but look around again, and was completely unable to associate the "intentional" who carefully cleaned the fallen leaves and wiped the windows with the inherent image in his mind.

On the way to the "old tuner team" to the "urban smart network control center", they have encountered the "unintentional people" in this ruin. They are as fierce, irrational, aggressive, and have a strong hunting instinct, as if they have degenerated to the stage when humans have just escaped from the state of wild beasts.

At that time, if someone told Long Yuehong that the "unintentioned" here would sweep the floor, wipe windows, and maintain lines, he would definitely sneer and take it as a joke.

And now, this scene was so realistically staged in front of him.

At first glance, there were many street lights and silhouettes in the distance. I don’t know how many “unintentioned people” returned to the street after the city was “lit up” again, and came to the window, doing all kinds of things.

They no longer viciously, no longer regard Long Yuehong and others as prey, and "follow the rules" and complete their own work seriously, making the entire city look different from the previous prosperity.

At this moment, Long Yuehong felt that they seemed to be in another world, and the two sides were both peaceful and unable to establish a connection.

As his thoughts turned, he heard Jiang Baimian sigh:

"It's like a silhouette projected from the old world from the past..."

"Why do they sweep the floor, wipe windows, and maintain the exterior walls and streets?" Shang Jianyao asked suddenly.

Long Yuehong subconsciously answered:

"It may be some kind of instinct. This is what their work in the old world is. After becoming 'unintentional', it solidifies into instinct..."

As he spoke, Long Yuehong's voice gradually faded until it disappeared.

He also found that this explanation was unfair, because the old world had been destroyed for nearly seventy years, and the "unintentional" here has been changed for many generations, and there are those who once lived and worked in the old world.

Finally, he forced himself to add:

“That instinct has been continued from generation to generation after its demonstration and teaching by its parents.

"The descendants of the repairman are still repairing equipment, and the descendants of the cleaner are still cleaning the streets..."

Jiang Baimian smiled and said before Shang Jianyao spoke:

"Don't put all the messy things into your genes, as this will cause your body to collapse.

"Teaching is indeed possible, but this is useful at most in simple and repetitive work."

Bai Chen was on guard all around and said thoughtfully:

"It is after generations of reproduction that the 'unintentional people' can learn more complex things? No, even if they can learn it, they won't know how to do it in the previous generations. The corresponding technology must have been lost..."

"Someone may be teaching them and instilling some 'instinct' in them." Shang Jianyao retreated his gaze and expressed his guess.

Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen also remembered the strange and mysterious boy Xiaochong before, and could not refute Shang Jianyao's statement for a while.

While we were discussing just now, they all walked a few steps across the street, trying to see the figures behind the bright windows more clearly.

A few seconds later, Long Yuehong looked at the "intentional people" who were cleaning the streets in the distance, repairing branches, and walking to other places, and said with emotion:

“Is this the old world urban scene?

“That was how people lived and worked at that time?

"It was so brightly lit at night at that time, as if stars were reflected on the ground?"

Because of this sentence, Jiang Baimian raised his head again and looked at the building opposite.

On each floor, more than one-third of the windows emit yellow or white light. Inside, "people" come and go, either wipe the windows, "watch" TV, coax "children", or chop the cutting board. Although no sound came out, Jiang Baimian intuitively felt the "hustle and bustle" and "elasticity".

At this moment, she seemed to have returned to decades ago, when the old world was not yet destroyed, and smelled the breath of life.

As his eyes continued to move up, Jiang Baimian's pupils suddenly dilated.

She saw a red dot shaking on the top of a tall building not far away.

This seems to be from a sniper rifle.

"Hide forward!" Jiang Baimian shouted, jumped to the side of the road with a leap and rolling, and hid in an open house.

With a bang, the hard ground splashed with gravel.

Thanks to previous experience, Shang Jianyao, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong did not doubt the team leader's orders at all. They each responded immediately and rushed into the street-facing house opposite the side door of the "City Intelligent Network Control Center" with different movements and postures.

Two bangs, two more bullets shot from the tops of different buildings and drilled into the ground.

After Jiang Baimian hid in the room with his back against the wall, he took off the walkie-talkie, pressed the button, and said in a hurry:

“There are snipers on at least three roofs around.

"This style of coming to the source of the abnormality but not entering, and only lying around me, reminds me of a person.

"'hyena'!"

This is the standard "hyena" bandit style.

This is not to say that only they like to use similar methods, but they are in the surrounding team with at least three sniper rifles. They are the most famous one and are probably the only one.

"Is this too sinister?" Long Yuehong blurted out with the walkie-talkie.

The "hyena" robber group did not want to explore the abnormalities and search for more valuable things, and only planned to solve the withdrawn ruins hunters.

"They are bandits." Jiang Baimian responded with some amusement, "Fortunately, they should have been dazzled by the changes after the city ruins were restored to power, and they didn't deal with us as soon as possible."

"But we are also affected by the changes in the ruins." Bai Chen briefly defended.

"It may be that they climbed over twenty floors and before they could breathe, we came out. Moreover, we called and could use the elevator." Shang Jianyao sighed inexplicably, "What a pity..."

Long Yuehong has a very tacit understanding:

"What a pity?"

"It's a pity that I was attracted by the changes in the ruins at that time, otherwise I would have been able to dance a Gold Coast swaying grass skirt for them first." Shang Jianyao's tone showed obvious regret.

"...Looking forward to such a day in the future." Jiang Baimian held the intercom and said perfunctorily, "The most important question now is how to get rid of the ambush of the 'hyena'? They must not only set up a sniper move."

"The hyenas have armored vehicles, heavy machine guns, and rocket launchers. After using snipers to control our range of activities, they should send people to sweep them." Bai Chen recalled the various news he had heard and calmly gave the most possible development.

"What should I do?" Although Long Yuehong was not too panicked, she still felt that it was dangerous for her to wait for others.

Without the military exoskeleton device, they could not avoid heavy machine gun strafing within such a limited range, and neither grenade gun, rifle or grenade could break the thick armor.

If the military exoskeleton device is still there, you can try it with an electromagnetic weapon.

Jiang Baimian was silent for a few seconds and issued an order through the walkie-talkie:

"There must be no snipers in the building of the 'City Intelligence Network Control Center', and the 'Hyena's' they didn't dare to enter that area at all.

“So, we can go to the door and walk close to the wall, which is their shooting dead end.

"After finding a seat in advance, when the armored vehicle comes, Bai Chen will shoot the machine gunner as soon as possible and temporarily suppress him. If the fire control system of the armored vehicle is intact and the heavy machine gun can be operated in the car, then I will try to give a 'Thunder Spear' to the shooting position. In short, the purpose is to create an opportunity for Shang Jianyao to get closer.

"Shang Jianyao, then you go to the bottom of the armored vehicle, and the distance there is less than one meter away from the people in the vehicle, which can fully utilize your abilities and allow you to avoid worrying about the threat of snipers."

Jiang Baimian named his electric eel-type biological prosthesis "Thunder Spear".

"Okay!" Shang Jianyao seemed to have wanted to do this for a long time.

Bai Chen also responded.

After listening quietly, Long Yuehong said silently for two seconds:

"what I do?"

"Come on for me." Shang Jianyao said seriously.

As soon as Shang Jianyao finished speaking, Jiang Baimian added:

"You are responsible for keeping your guard around you, what if it's not just armored vehicles?

"I'll give you the grenade gun later."

Long Yuehong immediately replied loudly:

"Yes, team leader!"

Jiang Baimian was about to say a few more words when he suddenly turned his head and felt something.

"Here you come! There is only one car on the street to the right." She quickly told Shang Jianyao and others about the information, and found a pair of metal scissors from the room.

The four members of the "Old Transfer Group" immediately returned to the door, moved against the wall, and headed to different locations.

During this process, they exchanged some weapons and prepared for the next step.

Soon, the armored vehicle appeared at the corner of the street.

It has three large wheels on one side, the armored surface is military green painted, there is a door next to it, and dark bulletproof glass on the front.

It is more than twice as big as an ordinary vehicle, with an iron-black heavy machine gun on the top and an antenna-like thing on it.

Long Yuehong just glanced at it, and words such as "steel", "hard", "strength", "crunch", and "indestructible" appeared in his mind.

At this moment, a pleasant music quickly turned from far to near and into the current street.

It was a big blue cart with giant metal cans, which was lit up and played music while spraying water into the street.

In the driving seat of the car, a "heartless person" wearing an old orange-white cotton jacket was sitting there, operating the steering wheel a little dullly.

His eyes were dull, and there was a black paint-detached headphone on his head.

The sprinkler truck that illuminated the road ahead drove very quickly and almost collided with the armored vehicle that came out of the side.

With a squeak, the driver of the "intentional" stepped on the brakes like a conditioned reflex, causing the vehicle to be stuck there.

The armored vehicle driver had never encountered a similar situation and stopped the vehicle.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Baimian's eyes lit up and he shouted:

"Chance!"

In the brisk and melodious joy of sprinkling water, she took a step forward and pulled up her left arm.

The metal scissors in her hand were suddenly "wrapped" by the crackling silver-white electric snake.
