Chapter 64 At Night (recommendation ticket)

“The Eighth Research Institute…” Jiang Baiman repeated the term in a low voice.

Obviously, she had never heard of such an organization before.

The same is true for Bai Chen, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong, and they look at Qiao Chu a little more admiration.

Mysterious and powerful combination has always been an effective element of fascination.

Jiang Baiman wearing a helmet moved his lips and seemed to be organizing the language. He wanted to further inquire where the Eighth Research Institute is located, what technologies it inherits, what is the relationship with the old world, and why did you send one? A special commissioner came to the ruins of this city in the depths of Great Swamp.

Without waiting for her to speak, Qiao Chu turned his body and walked to the right, leaving only a fluttering sentence: “Take off the outer skeleton device to save electricity.”

“Okay.” Jiang Baiman agreed.

This is what she wants to do in itself.

——Today, all the electricity stored in the solar charging board is given to the jeep, and it is already night.

Although they still have a spare high-performance battery, in such a weird old world city, they must try to make energy a little more generous and prepared.

When Bai Chen helped Jiang Baiman take off the external military skeleton device, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong looked at where they were currently.

The first thing that caught their eyes was an LCD screen, which was at least two circles larger than the similar type in the 495-story “Activity Center”.

“This is a good thing…” Long Yuehong sighed, be eager to have a try.

If this can bring back the company, no, move back to the company, even if it is broken, I don’t know how many contribution points can be exchanged.

Although this is mostly an item that needs to be turned in, the company will also give certain rewards as appropriate.

Qiao Chu walked to the window on the far right, glanced at Long Yuehong and said:

“In the buildings you saw just now, most of the glass windows have this A monitor.”

Long Yuehong recalled the tall buildings he had witnessed before and blurted out:

“So many?”

He immediately Suspiciously, I asked Qiao Chu:

“Why did you say this all of a sudden.”

The Shang Jianyao next to him smiled and interjected:

“It means , You must pick more valuable garbage!”

“This is the’bonanza’.” Bai Chen added with a common vocabulary among the wilderness wanderers.

“Bonanza” means that the region is rich in various resources, and there is no need to pick up anything for a certain period of time.

In this case, because the items you can carry are limited each time, you have to choose carefully to live up to your exploration.

It’s like entering a gold mine, you must put more gold in your bag instead of ordinary stones.

Long Yuehong thought about it for a while, and agreed with Shang Jianyao’s words, and continued to look at the surrounding things:

Below the LCD screen with many stains on the surface, yes A group of long, low wooden cabinets, it looks gray, barely recognizable as milk-white.

On the low wooden cabinet is a green water cup, two palm-sized electronic devices with lines inserted, and a transparent flask.

There is about one third dirty water remaining in the bottle, and some black debris floating on it.

This is consistent with Jiang Baiman’s previous judgment:

If the city has been “maintained” since the old world annihilation, the water in the bottle should have evaporated. The windows are closed tightly, the house is dry, it doesn’t look like rain has floated.

Opposite the wall that hangs the LCD screen is a coffee table of the same color as the low wooden cabinet, on which are placed some dirty water cups, and a pack of dark paper.

On the left side of the coffee table, there is a trash can full of holes, inside which is covered with a blue translucent plastic bag; on the side of the coffee table by the door, there is a group that looks very dirty, I don’t know it was originally snow azure It’s still a dark gray cloth sofa; between the coffee table and the low wooden cabinet, there is a faded folding low stool. Its surface is pink. The outline and patterns seem to form a cartoon-like pig; the right side of the coffee table is a comparison. Qiaochu stood there in the wide area.

Behind Qiao Chu is a row of dusty wooden railings. Several large glass sides stand on the outside of the railings, acting as walls.

Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong have not learned what these windows are called in textbooks, but I heard Qiaochu call them floor-to-ceiling windows just now, and I think they are quite vivid.

On both sides of the floor-to-ceiling windows, there is a handwashing area with a stone platform on one side, and a few brown pots on the other.

The soil in the pot was yellowish brown with some dry cracks, and the plants inside seemed to have been scattered ashes and smoke dispersed long ago, buried deep, leaving no traces.

In front of Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong is an aisle, and there seem to be several rooms inside.

On their left side, there is a small round table with a tablecloth embroidered with a few flowers. The original white of the tablecloth is close to dark gray.

Surrounding this round table, there are four ordinary chairs with mottled milky white paint.

One of them has obvious cracks, and the wood inside looks badly corroded.

Opposite the round table, near the door, there is a semi-open room. Shang Jianyao saw the rice cooker of the same model as his own at a glance.

It is also peeling off the shell coating, rusty in many places.

Next to the rice cooker, there are two metal objects that are suspected of cooking stoves. On them are two pots, one large and one small. The large one is iron black, the small one is pink, and the inside is gray.

In addition to these, Shang Jianyao also saw faucets, metal sinks and various cabinets.

Based on his common sense, he came to the conclusion that this should be the kitchen.

“Luxury…” Long Yuehong next to him looked over and said with emotion.

Shang Jianyao agrees with nodded and said:

“Yes, yes.”

In their perception, rooms with kitchens are already senior employees We can only be allocated, and there is such a large kitchen room, I am afraid to go to the “living area” management residence.

While speaking, Shang Jianyao lifted his feet, step by step, and stepped back quietly.

Qiao Chu glanced over.

At this time, Shang Jianyao has retreated to the door and looked up.

“605…” He read the house number.

“What are you doing?” Long Yuehong asked in surprise.

“There are five rooms on each floor, each unit has a total of 20-30 floors, and each building has several units…” Shang Jianyao said to himself, “Like such a big room There are hundreds more.”

Qiao Chu obviously didn’t catch the focus of Shang Jianyao’s thinking, and said calmly:

“Come in, close the door.”

After Shang Jianyao closed the door softly, Long Yuehong came back to his senses:

“There are seven or eight buildings here, and there are more buildings around…

“Is this the old world? “

Shang Jianyao ignored him, squatted down, and opened the wooden cabinet on the right side of the entrance.

The stale smell instantly floated out, rows of all kinds The shoes are quietly placed inside the wooden cabinet.

“Close! “Qiao Chu pinched his nose.

Shang Jianyao didn’t look closely, and closed the cabinet door abruptly.

Long Yuehong sighed again:

“Luxury! “

This who has so many shoes!

At this time, the sunset has sunk below the horizon, and the sky is made of gray metal, reflecting a little rays of light.

Looking through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Shang Jianyao and others saw that the whole city became darker, and the tall buildings looked like islands, being swallowed by the increasingly fierce dark “tide”.

Their hearts seemed to sink along with it.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the neighborhood not far away, and the voice of “peng” came out.

Jiang Baiman and others looked at each other and made a judgment at the same time:

This is the sound of a gunshot!

Someone shot just now!

They didn’t have time to speak, and there was a hoarse roar around the area.

The roar quickly “spread”, and all directions responded, one after another.

“roar!”

“Woo! “

This kind of movement is endless, and they are all approaching the gunshot block.

The city that was completely silent just now became lively.

One two minutes passed, the roar subsided, and the whole city fell into extreme silence again.

Jiang Baiman, who had already taken off the external military skeleton device, frowned slightly and thought for a few seconds:

“The unintentional? “

As far as she knows, many urban ruins have “unintentional people” staying and wandering. The specific number depends on the local ecological system and how many remaining materials can feed.

Qiao Chu Still carrying the silver rifle, facing the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the silent city road outside:

“Yes. “

“The hunter of the ruins who entered the ruins from other roads was attacked by the’unintentional’ and fired a shot, causing a chain reaction? “Jiang Baiman tried to restore what happened just now.

This time, Qiao Chu ignored her and stood there quietly, not knowing what she was looking at.

Shang Jianyao turned to Said:

“Does the roar sound we heard in the wilderness come from them? “

“Impossible, how could this level of voice spread so far?” “Jiang Baiman responded thoughtful looking, “However, what we heard was probably the roar of the unintentional people in the area at that time. They responded to the roar that was the most exaggerated at the beginning, and looking at it from the direction, The roar that resounds through the wilderness may really come from here…”

“From the power of the roar and the response that can inspire the’unintentional’, the monster is probably very dangerous, very dangerous! “Long Yuehong joined the discussion, and the more he talked, the more nervous he became.

Upon hearing this remark, Jiang Baiman, Shang Jianyao and Bai Chen’s expressions suddenly fluctuated, seeming to remember the original decision not to approach the danger zone.

This is completely contradictory to their current state.

Jiang Baiman’s eyes moved slightly, his expression gradually became heavy, and he looked at Qiao Chu subconsciously.

At this time, Qiao Chu has turned around, faintly smiled and said:

“Since I have come here, I can only protect myself first.

“At the same time, think again about what is the most precious and most important thing to care for.”

His golden eyes briefly lost focus, like a piece of sunlight shining Deep lake.

Jiang Baiman pursed his lower lip, his eyes softened again:

“I understand.”

Shang Jianyao and others resumed the discussion. status.

Qiaochu looked back and looked around:

“Eat dinner first, then take turns rest, waiting for the early morning.”
