Vol 2 Chapter 189 Approach

Changping.

A virtual wall of light hangs down from the sky, encircling such an antique building complex.

Numerous stalls and hawkers radiate radially from the center of the bell tower, but the arrangement from top to bottom is like a draw game in the hands of a three-year-old child. One side is protruding and the other is a little concave, forming countless crumbling shapes. retail high-rise.

No matter how advanced the technology is, it can’t stop human beings’ pursuit of food and retro feelings.

Here is the newly built world’s largest holographic history museum, which completely restores all the evolutionary history since the scientific and technological revolution of mankind.

In addition to the street scenes simulated by holographic projection, it is more famous for commercial activities such as “the world’s largest folk snack area” and “one day tour of old human life in the 20th century”.

Anyway, the boundaries between museums and commercial activities are not so clear these days. Precious things are always projected light and shadow, and models can be rebuilt at any time.

This is the representative building complex of the East in the 21st century. This is a typical street of a third- and fourth-tier town. When walking on the road, you can see a light-screen sign sticking out from a corner. It reads “21st Century Brand Old Yogurt”, “Meet 2019”, “Gold Medal Century Grand Prize” Hotel, 88/person”.

Two steps further inside, it is the area where the mobile vendors gather, mainly for eating.

Red bean cake, egg filling cake, pancake fruit, baked cold noodles… everything.

Countless shouts and the electronic broadcast on the floating screen merged into a ball, and for a while, the AI’s voice was stained with the charcoal-grilled smell of human fireworks.

“Hey! Girl? Do you want coriander and spicy food?”

“Hey, girl? What about you?”

Just in front of the vendor selling cold noodles, stood several young boys and girls.

The vendor owner was questioning one of them.

He has short, fluffy hair and gray-green short sleeves that he casually wears on his body. On the front, there is “Glory” written in a flying brush. On the back, two big “Loyalty” are drawn in cursive script of the same style. The hem and blue ripped jeans have The edges are tangled, but on his feet are a pair of dusty long army boots, and there is a large black bag that reaches to the knees. There is no obvious brand logo, but a small animal is hung from the zipper. pendant.

The whole person exudes a casual and lazy temperament, and a pestle into the store can attract the attention of passers-by.

It’s not so much a soldier, it’s better to say that he is a young man who runs around the world.

No, Xiao Wenqing would not allow himself to be so sloppy.

“what?”

Chu Yang suddenly returned to her senses, with obvious red blood in her eyes. She reached out and touched her nose, and looked at the boss blankly.

…

The boss sighed: “Girl, do you want to…”

“Oh, I want coriander.”

Before the boss could finish speaking, Chu Yang reacted and replied quickly: “I want coriander, I want green onion, and put less vinegar…”

Her gaze reluctantly stopped for a while on the chili oil, and swallowed: “The chili… No, don’t.”

“Okay—”

“Wait! Boss! Are your chili peppers spicy?” Chu Yang couldn’t hold back and asked, “If it’s not spicy, just put it… put a little bit more?”

Sentinel has a sensitive taste, quit oil, salt, and all heavy mouths. When she eats cold noodles here, she is frantically testing on the verge of death.

“No.” Chi Dong swept over with a knife, and Chu Yang instantly turned into a quail.

Chu Yang muttered: “No, no, no, what are you doing with such a fierce voice.”

Chi Dong sighed.

“During the mission it was not possible to…” she said.

Chu Yang was too lazy to listen to her chatter and interrupted her: “Oh, you can’t just pretend, I know. After buying this, we’ll go to the next alley to start work. Anyway, we’re so close and we won’t waste time. Besides, people are also Want a meal… do you want one?”

Chi Dong looked away: “No need.”

Chu Yang made a face.

Before she could take the roasted cold noodles into her hands, Chu Yang heard a shrill scream.

It was very slight, buried by countless shouts and shouts, and then accurately transmitted to Chu Yang’s ears.

— is the opposite direction from the target alley.

“Walk!”

Without saying a word, Chu Yang pulled Chi Dong and ran in the direction of the scream.

Reluctantly gave up the love, and I didn’t even see the last sight of the spicy roasted cold noodles that I was thinking about.

The two ran to the “Golden Century Hotel”, which was suspected to be a dangerous three-story building.

Muddy alleys, irregular bricks raised, and small advertisements plastered on the walls.

On the countless lists of cats, dogs, and people, they saw the blood that had not dried up.

Tick ​​tock.

It drips down the poles and walls, gradually converging into a small crevice.

Someone fell to the ground.

Chi Dong stretched out his hand to probe the pulse and shook his head: “Dead.”

She noticed a startling claw mark on the back of the corpse.

Five rough paw prints almost penetrated the chest cavity.

There is no other explanation other than a ferocious beast.

“This one is clearer than the one in the photo.” Chi Dong said, “The five claw marks are not obvious in the photo.”

Chu Yang nodded: “But what kind of animal… have claws like this?”

Long, deep and sharp. More elongated than a liger’s claws, but also more…anthropomorphic than their features.

Like an enlarged, human hand.

Chu Yang’s intuition is not very good.

“Collect samples and test them.” Chi Dong said, and carefully collected the skin and blood near the claw marks.

Now that technology is so advanced, the easiest way to know the truth is to compare it with existing data.

Chu Yang let out an “oh”, and squatted down to help with hindsight.

Soon, Chi Dong asked Chu Yang to open the backpack he was carrying and take out a portable analyzer inside.

“You actually brought this thing?!” Chu Yang was shocked, “Shouldn’t it be sent back to the White Pagoda?”

“According to the rules, it is like this.”

Chi Dong’s movements were still calm, “But why is there no analysis data in the data provided by Baita?”

Chu Yang: ?

Chi Dong narrowed his eyes and carefully put the sample into the instrument for data comparison: “Since the pagoda has photographed claw marks, it should be possible to find some genetic traces like we are now. According to regulations, they will be sent to the white pagoda. The department conducts testing, but why are the photos given to us, but the testing data is not followed?”

Chu Yang was stunned: “Didn’t you say that analysis also takes time?”

She still remembered that the boss told her that the matter was important, so she gave them the exact clues and asked them to investigate immediately.

As for the analysis data, it will not be transmitted to their personal terminals until the results are confirmed.

Chi Dong shook his head: “You just came here, so you don’t know the process. How long does the genetic comparison take? What an analyzer can do.”

Looking at her skilled movements, Chu Yang couldn’t help but sigh: “Why are you so skilled? Isn’t this the job of technical arms?”

Chi Dong glanced at her: “In the past three years, I have worked in many departments by myself.”

As if to prove Chi Dong’s correctness, the analyzer made a “ding” at this moment and turned on the green light.

“Look, it’s that simple.”

Chi Dong looked at the displayed match, and suddenly fell silent.

“What’s wrong?” Chu Yang leaned over, “Let me see what it is…”

Looking at the names with more than 99% matching degree above, Chu Yang lost his voice.

Humanity.

The species shown above, is human.

At this moment, the two’s communicators also rang at the right time.

Chu Yang saw that it was an urgent message from the Baita Mission Center:

Mission cancelled! Return now!

“This is… what operation?”

Chu Yang stared at the notice above, stunned.

Chi Dong quickly put away his things and brought Chu Yang’s attention back to reality: “Can you hear its footsteps as it escapes?”

Chu Yang nodded: “There is a general direction.” She pointed to the west.

“I can’t hear you from the back.”

“Chase.”

“Huh? But not that…”

“Talk while walking.” Chi Dong patted Chu Yang’s shoulder and pulled her to the west.

Chu Yang was shocked to find that Chi Dong, as a guide, ran as fast as a sentinel.

It didn’t even pull back.

Even she had to struggle to keep up with her.

Chu Yang suddenly understood how Chi Dong managed to keep doing tasks alone for three years.

As a guide, he has such a strong physical fitness! Don’t suffer from mania yet! It’s just unreasonable!

She is sour.

Chi Dong still has the energy to speak while running: “The task center is a system for issuing tasks directly.”

When a case occurs, the system automatically determines the hazard level and assigns it to the relevant person in charge according to the area, and then the person in charge assigns specific sentries to perform tasks.

The relevant detection of clues is also distributed through the system and automatically uploaded to the relevant departments for processing.

“Only the head of the White Tower has the power to make an emergency stop.” Chi Dong spoke quickly, “The genetic analysis report was detained and the task was stopped urgently—this can only prove that the report was reported to the head of the White Tower, and the system issued a task that should not have been issued. .”

The road is a straight line.

Straight out of town to the west.

Chu Yang ran out of breath: “You, you mean, the above doesn’t actually want us to check?”

Chi Dong’s eyes were sharp: “Yes.”

“Then we still…”

“I’ve only seen the White Tower emergency stop mission order twice.”

Chi Dong found that in front of him was the entrance to a wild forest park.

The History Museum tries to compress all the period features together, so the style is a mash-up.

“It’s this time.”

She threw her documents to the guard robot at the entrance, the identity verification passed, and the door slowly opened.

There is no hindrance.

“The other time was four years ago.”

They did not enter the layers of woods, startling layers of birds.

“It was the year I lost my spirit.”

“what?”

Chu Yang stopped.

She was standing in the pedestrian passage with a sign in front of her that read “There are beasts inside, drive carefully.”

There is no way behind.

Next to it are some reinforced security cars for tourists to rent.

At this time, Chu Yang’s senses were completely disturbed by the forest, and he couldn’t find his way.

Chi Dong stared at her and said, “If you don’t want to move forward, you can go back. The mission is over.”
