Chapter 97 Settlement (Happy New Year!)

The jet gust was filled with light blue flames, and the beeping sounds of airships as they accelerated were spreading far among the ruins of buildings.

The right window of the airship is half open.

Half a small camera is facing the window ridge to shoot the surrounding environment.

"Please find a hidden place and don't let people discover it. I don't want to come back and find that the airship is gone."

Zhu Jue leaned in the back seat of the airboat, fiddling with the camera glasses bought by Suzi, and checked the operating requirements on the instructions with the lights in the car.

In the early morning, I got news from Lin Godo that there was a contaminated area in the No. 40 community. Zhu Jue's original intention was to come alone. After all, although Suzi and Gu Yinqiao's strength is good compared to that of civilians, he obviously can't help with these things, so he planned to leave Suzi and Gu Yinqiao in the No. 35 community to support him.

However, he neither could drive an airship nor did he know enough about the situation in the lower-level community, so he could only bring two people with him and contact Rona to let him pay attention to the movements of the Qianfancheng government.

After wandering in the ruins for nearly half an hour, Suzi barely found a remote factory to land.

Turn off the engine, take out the cover of the car from the trunk, and before leaving the door, Zhu Jue specially blocked the originally open warehouse door, and wrapped it with the iron chains he picked up inside twice before he felt relieved.

“It is about two kilometers away from the North 3 area. In order to avoid being discovered, we have to walk to it.”

Suzi looked at the map and handed the two flashlights to Zhu Jue and Gu Yinqiao. If you want to complete the goal of destroying the bone tree, it is undoubtedly nonsense to rely on your brain alone. You must have to conduct on-site inspections to get an effective way to travel.

Wearing glasses for photography and having night vision ability, Zhu Jue plugged the flashlight back to Suzi, and his eyes wandered between the surrounding streets.

Due to the obstruction of the upper-level community buildings and the current power outage, Community No. 40 was still in a dark chaos even at noon.

The streets under my feet, which were originally well-connected, are now shattered, with uneven potholes and piles of stones and various debris blocking their view. Occasionally, wind blows from somewhere on the street, bringing an uncomfortable stench.

A few years ago, the city expanded to a higher place because of heavy pollution. Over the years, various environmental problems have become increasingly serious because of the dumping of garbage in high-rise communities.

The most intuitive scene is that the soil next to the road is still there, but there is no trace of greenness.

The broken branches and leaves are all luxury here!

“Will you pass through the residential area from here to the polluted area?”

He bent down and picked up the wind chime and carried it on his shoulder. Zhu Jue looked at Gu Yinqi and asked.

Unlike normal communities with dense populations, the number of residents in the lower-level communities is only half of the size of other communities due to their harsh environment, not to mention a place like Community No. 40, where birds do not shit. Ordinary residents will try their best to move up if they have some savings.

Because of this, the permanent population of the No. 40 community, which can be ranked among the top in the Xiacheng District, is only about 300,000. In addition, the harsh environment, most people will naturally choose to gather in some relatively normal areas in order to ensure their lives. The Qianfancheng government is also happy to manage it in a centralized manner, which has led to the entire No. 40 community being divided into several large settlements.

Zhu Jue discussed this issue with Gu Gingko before he came down.

"We are now close to the No. 5 settlement. I have been to it. It should be one of the few settlements in the entire No. 40 community with good operating conditions, but it is not on the route drawn by Miss Suzi..."

Gu Yinqiao, who has been in the lower-level community for the past few years, has a good understanding of this. She glanced at the map on the audio-visual stick, raised her hand and pointed a coordinate on it and said.

“If you go to the settlement first and then turn to the contaminated area, how long will it take?”

"From here to settlement No. 5, the distance is about 1.5 kilometers, and then from settlement to contaminated area... 2 kilometers."

"Suzi, you come to lead the way, let's go to the settlement first!"

He turned sideways and signaled Suzi to leave first. The latter glanced at Zhu Jue with confusion, and said nothing more. He took over the audio-visual stick in Gu Yinqiao's hand and walked in the forefront.

At a distance of 1.5 kilometers, there was no traffic light on the road. Not long after the trip of the three, they saw a faint fire in the darkness ahead.

Stopped by the ruins piled with stones, Zhu Jue turned around and looked at the two people walking with him.

"Ginkgo, prepare your camera and remember to take pictures of the environment in the settlement later. After we enter the settlement, Suzi, go find someone to find the location of the contaminated area. The important thing is not to ask for the detailed location, but to let the people in the settlement know that you are asking about the contaminated area."

"Why do you do this?"

Gu Yinqiao still couldn't suppress her curiosity and asked.

She also asked her to use a camera when she was taking pictures of glasses, and then asked Suzi to ask about the contaminated area, which exposed her identity and intentions.

Suzi, who was standing beside her, nodded and agreed with Gu Yinqiao's question, and she also wanted to ask.

"You should still remember what Lin said in the morning that the people from the Youth Die Organization discovered the polluted area. Do you think with the style of this organization, would you choose to evacuate directly or stay behind when the government has never taken action, and look for opportunities to remove the polluted area?"

I sniffed my nose and tried my best to prevent the invasion of the odor. The light blue vortex circled on the back of my left palm, and my right hand approached. The Three Sun Moon Tai Knife appeared. This is Zhu Jue's iconic weapon. Anyone who has carefully watched the video of the weird studio can recognize it.

"You want to use the power of the Rangers?"

Unlike the "traveling thieves" commonly used by Suzi and Zhu Jue, Gu Gingko calls them Rangers.

"Just just go over in advance and say hello... I have a plan in my mind that I might be able to use their stuff."

According to past habits, Zhu Jue basically acted alone when shooting, and at most he only carried a wind chime. However, the current situation is special, and there is no need to say much about the importance of Gadamon's body to him. If there is a safer plan, Zhu Jue does not intend to take risks.

Since the thief organization can discover the existence of the contaminated area, it means that it is extremely likely that they will be in the No. 5 settlement at this time.

Zhu Jue doesn’t have so much time to inquire about their news, so he simply goes there in this way. As long as they want to clear the polluted area, they will naturally come up on their own.

"If I want to contact the Rangers, I can help. In fact, I had dealt with them before during the Human Rights March. I know a few people in the Rangers!"

"You know them, why didn't you tell me before in the hotel?"

"I didn't know you were looking for the Rangers, and you seemed to be on guard against girls knocking on the door. I'm afraid you will misunderstand."

Gu Yinqi woke up when the door was opened. He listened to it throughout the whole process and noticed that Lin and Zhu Jue were hiding each other's identities. Normal people would feel that they were not very good at dealing with each other.

"No matter what, this is good news. What I just said is invalid. I will leave it to you here and find a way to contact the Rangers. If you need it, you can explain our identity."

Putting away the Three Suns and Moon Taidao, Gu Yinqiao's understanding of the people in the Rangers organization was undoubtedly a big surprise. There was an intermediary who set up a line, even saving the steps of testing each other.

Since Gu Yinqiao was in contact, Zhu Jue put away the three-day moon and Taidao again, stepped on the mud and stone road that was piled up in the ruins when he came, and walked along the street toward the settlement.

It was said to be a well-managed settlement, but when Zhu Jue really walked in, he realized that it was a conclusion based on the unmanned ruins outside.

The dark streets are occupied by cracked walls and huts pieced together like building blocks.

The ill-intentioned gazes of the scavengers coming and going around were the essence, and they kept wandering around the well-dressed three people.

The residential buildings on both sides look very tall, but are actually not much better than the ruins.

The torches used for lighting and gasoline barrels that act as bonfires, where the light has not yet been shrouded, some harsh and noisy sounds can be heard vaguely.

Of course, this place is just the periphery, and it might be better inside, but Zhu Jue has no idea how to continue.

"I'll send you here, and I'll check the contaminated area. The task of both of you is to find the Rangers as soon as possible. Remember not to contact them immediately. Just make sure you can contact them at any time. Then wait for my news. It shouldn't take long. Ginkgo, stretch out your hand...scavenger, split."

Compared to the three of them walking together, Zhu Jue's own efficiency was obviously higher. He raised his hand and reached out to Gu Yinki. A ball of sand condensed in the palm of his palm, covering her backhand on her outstretched palm.

"What's this?"

Feeling the numbness in the palm of your palm and the vague movement of foreign objects from the flesh and blood, Gu Yinqiao subconsciously wanted to shrink her hand, but was forced to stop her by her own will. She believed that Zhu Jue would not hurt her.

"You can call it a scavenger for self-defense. There are many things you can do, so I won't introduce it to you one by one. I'll find an opportunity to show it to you later."

With the current ability of the scavenger, the number of sub-body used for combat can be divided is not limited to one. Zhu Jue gave Gu Gingko one, which is considered as an insurance policy to avoid any accidents when he went to the contaminated area. After thinking about it, paused for a few seconds, he continued,

"Suzi has a strong combat power, I'm not worried, and I'll give her some self-defense things. Your situation is different. Remember, unless you have to, don't use the ability given by the Ourobosnake organization. It will subtly erode your spirit!"

Having seen the cadres of the Webosnake organization and control the infected body and Baiyaki, Zhu Jue could not guarantee that Gu Ginkgo could withstand the second mental erosion while staying away from him.

"I understand, even if you don't say it, I won't use it anymore."
