Chapter 2 Water Monkeys
Jiangcheng, named after the Jinjiang River across the city, was originally divided into two towns, and the townspeople fished for a living, the upper Yutou Town, and the lower Yuwei Town. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the late Zhao period, there was a big official here, when he told the old provincial township, it happened that the stone bridge across the river was repaired, and the mayor asked him to write an inscription.
When he was young, he left home and returned to his old age, and the local pronunciation was difficult to understand, so he heard it and thought that he wanted him to name the town again.
A happy, a big stroke of the pen, the fish head changed to the dragon crown, the fish tail changed to the dragon bay, and there was one more dragon king bridge, since then, a tail of the dragon king lock the golden dragon (river), up to the dragon crown, down to the dragon bay, continue to this day.
By the fifth or sixth year of the Xia Kingdom, the old system was reformed, the county was changed to a city, and the town was changed to a district, with more than 3 million people in one river and two districts.
Among them, No. 72 Nanjiang Road, Longwan District, is where the story begins.
“…… This rain is endless. ”
Two stone lions in front of the courtyard, hum two will be left and right, old-fashioned courtyard, there are trees in the courtyard, there is a pond behind the tree, there are frogs in the pond, when it was newly built thirty years ago, it was considered luxurious.
Thirty years later, the wooden planks were rotten, the railings were broken, the trees in the courtyard were withered, the pond water was foul, and the frogs were eaten by mosquitoes.
A few years ago, when the warehouse was used to make do, in recent years, the concept of housing in the school district has been hot, and the surrounding housing prices have soared.
The rent is only half of the average, the environment is a little worse, poor students are not so particular, enough shelter from the wind and rain, and take care of it.
But there is really no good goods cheap, Jiangcheng has heavy river water vapor, it is raining a lot, and the rain is enough after summer, and the three-story building is heavy rain outside, and it is light rain inside.
"There are still two months, and after the college entrance examination, you can move out."
Lu Wu lives in 101 and has always been the number one resident, but he doesn't like it here.
There is not much water in the house on the first floor, but the ceiling is wet, there is water on the ground, the damp in the room is uncomfortable, and the rain is a little heavier, and it is always flooded.
A room of forty square meters, a table and a bed in the room, simple, but also clean.
The desks and chairs were eliminated by the school, the TV was second-hand and there was no wire, the wardrobe was plastic, and even the hangers were screwed by himself with wire, and the essence of the proletariat was exposed.
But the bookshelf is a fine product for finding carpenters, not only expensive, but also many, two bookshelves, three bookcases, four walls, and three sides are books.
One wall is a reference book, and on the other two, medicine, economics, politics, classical, Taoist, philosophy, most of them are connected with thick leather books, both in Chinese and foreign languages, but each of them is sandwiched with bookmarks, and the pages are turned yellow, obviously a lot of work.
These are all treasures accumulated by Lu Wu for many years, and some of them have been turned over and memorized, but they are reluctant to lose them.
This rain, the baby is all drenched, how can he not be annoyed.
But now, the owner of the room, Lu Wu, didn't have time to worry about the stagnant water in the room.
He has been waiting for two days on this rainy day, and whether he will eat meat for meals in the next half year, or transfer to a rabbit to gnaw cabbage leaves, depends on whether he can have a harvest today.
"It's 4:29 p.m., the mission starts in three minutes, and the final countdown, all teams pay attention."
On the computer's floor plan, five red dots are flashing, which are the ambush points of your team.
All six mobile phones showed that they were on a conversation, but on the computer was a floor plan of the neighborhood, and there was a paper sketch on the table.
The battle was about to begin, and on Lu Wu's computer, windows were opened, and they were all surrounding street scenes.
The river beach, Bazi Hutong, noodle restaurant, under the bridge, and the key locations in the plan are all within the scope of Lu Wu's monitoring.
The image source is the camera under the hanging roof beam, the old mobile phone that was scrapped and remodeled, and Lu Wu's handmade products, the cost is negligible.
Manual lenses have the disadvantage of not being able to turn their heads on their own, and the pixels are also low.
The quality is not enough to make up for the quantity, since there is no cost, Lu Wu simply placed more than twenty in one go, and all the important monitoring points were included.
A small rental house, with on-site images, voice communication, and space sketches, although they are all simple "civilian self-made versions", this can be regarded as a qualified combat command.
"ABC Team 3 in place?"
After making sure that the camera was working well and the command voice was clear, Lu Wu began the final inspection.
"Team A is ok, the bridge is in place, the poles are ready, the target is still in the water. I just saw it pop up, uh, it's ugly. ”
"Team B has arrived at the observation point, the bait has been eaten, and Sister Lan is in front of the ramen restaurant. Ready. ”
"Team C...... Lost it, big brother, give me a little more time. ”
Lu Wu hesitated for a moment, but Team C was just "insurance" and might not be activated, and it would be a missed opportunity to wait any longer.
"Team C searched for the target on its own, and the mission began. Team B, ready. ”
Lu Wu's hands flew on the keyboard, the No. 7 pop-up window doubled, and the sound came, it was the scene in front of the ramen restaurant.
"Plan, start."
At the sound of an order, a young man with dyed hair wiped his face in the muddy water, and then ran in the rain in embarrassment.
Everywhere he went, the panicked appearance attracted the attention of passers-by.
"Help, there's a youkai over there in the riverbed! My friend was taken away by him. ”
The young man with dyed hair wore a nose ring and a fierce face, and he was not a good person at first glance.
Such a person was talking nonsense and running around the street, and others thought that he had taken too much medicine and avoided it, but it attracted Zhu Qinglan's attention.
In front of the camera, Huang Mao was stopped by Zhu Qinglan and asked about the situation.
"........ my friend, they are still there....... there are water ghosts......."
Scattered voices were transmitted, and the two quickly finished talking, and Zhu Qinglan rushed to the south embankment section without hesitation.
Looking at Zhu Qinglan's back, the panic of the yellow-haired young man just now disappeared instantly, and he took out his mobile phone that was not turned off and reported directly to the commander.
"Team B induces mission completion, over."
"It's a good performance, Team B and Team D converge. Team A prepares, the expected arrival time is one and a half minutes, and the countdown is 90,89 ......."
Lu Wu's hands were tapping on the keyboard, and one by one the shots were enlarged, among them were Zhu Qinglan who was running, some were backs, and some had just appeared.
According to the location of the camera, on the map on the desktop, Lu Wu drew with a pencil and a hook to mark Zhu Qinglan's walking route.
The distance is clear, the speed is clear, and the simple number calculation, Lu Wu got the desired result.
"The road slippery in the rain slowed her down, and the arrival time would be more than thirty seconds slower than expected, and the countdown was 110, 109.......1, and Team A began to bait the battle! Team D is ready for support. ”
On the guard section, the two young men who had received the order looked at each other, looked under the bridge, and began to work together to push a high-voltage power pole.
The pole had been sawn hollow, and after only two pushes, the pole fell in the direction of the river.
The high-voltage power lines were flooded, sparks burned in the water, and demonic screams echoed in the air.
"Whoa!"
Several dead fish floated up on the river, and under the bridge, a huge monster rushed out screaming.
It was about two meters tall, covered in carrion and tumors, and from a distance, it looked like a soaked corpse.
There were fins on the limbs, but no scales, a spider-like deformed body, no facial features, a face of countless wriggling pieces of flesh, and a bloody mouth still chewing on a human severed foot.
As it appeared, a disgusting smell of meat spread, and there were obvious burnt marks on the monster's back.
It was a wound that had been injured by high-voltage electricity, and the injury was still unclear.
Determined that even high-voltage electricity could not kill the water ghost, according to the predetermined plan, the two youths of Team A turned around and ran.
On the roof of the old building on the side, an observer in a raincoat looks at everything with a telescope from a high point.
"Team E reported that the shock was effective and the weakness intelligence was real. Subject was wounded and slightly injured. Team A is performing a decoy operation, and the opponent is not fast and there is no danger. ”
The observer of Team E paused for a moment, and he saw that in the alley, Zhu Qinglan had almost arrived at the river beach.
And the position of Team A is about to meet her.
"Big brother's time card is just right, Team A, pause at the next alley, and you're about to meet it."
As soon as Zhu Qinglan rushed out of the alley, she saw the two people being chased by the water ghost, and she rushed forward without hesitation.
The bright white light source converged in his right hand, and Zhu Qinglan, who had completed the accumulation of strength on the way to run, lowered herself and walked forward.
Close, charge, lunge, lunge, dash, slam!
The deliberately designed direction and the timing of the card made it impossible for the water spirits to detect the attackers who were close at hand.
Zhu Qinglan's just right appearance became a sneak attack under "coincidence".
There was no time to react, and the right fist with the white light was fast and ruthless, and it hit the side of the water ghost directly.
"Boom!"
The white light seems to be the natural enemy of the water ghosts, and the rotten flesh it touches directly collapses and melts.
That bit of white light dissipated in the air instantly, but it made people feel inexplicably reassured.
Zhu Qinglan's "sneak attack" was successful, and the water ghost's head was directly shattered, but it was only the beginning.
The troll let out a silent howl and slammed to the ground, as if it had been badly wounded.
But the next moment, the carrion began to reassemble, its hideous face facing the attacker, and there was more hatred in its dim pupils.
"Eight-armed water monkeys? Threat creatures above level 4? ”
At this time, Zhu Qinglan had the strength to look at her opponent, covered in rotten flesh, four-legged and four-armed, and super regenerative ability, all of which were the written characteristics of this powerful melee creature that only knew its name.
Water ghosts, commonly known as water monkeys, scientific name water spider ghosts (carrion type), is a famous water monster of the Shonan generation, with infinite underwater strength and agile action, and likes to eat human blood and carrion.
Although it is a water monster, it can go ashore for a short time, but after going ashore, it is slow to move and weaken, so it always drags people into the water.
Recognizing her opponent, Zhu Qinglan gasped.
In the data, this powerful monster with a threat of more than 4 is not something that an amateur can take on alone.
"Sister Lan!"
Hearing this, she looked back and saw that the faces of the two young men were somewhat familiar, they should be gangsters from Wulongwan High School.
Usually when I see Sister Lan, Sister Lan is very affectionate, obviously I have already quit the "rivers and lakes", and I have already repeated the grade to become a school girl........
Encountering a strong enemy, the water ghost was about to move, and in the next moment, Zhu Qinglan's eyes locked on the opponent.
The severed foot that the water ghost had just fallen out of his mouth, and a red high heel, had already been killed.
In this situation, Zhu Qinglan's chest was on fire namelessly.
Silently clenched her fists, facing the giant monster whose combat power was a cut higher than herself, the girl rushed forward without hesitation.
The white brilliance wrapped around her arms, palms, fists, or claws, and each time it touched the water ghost's carrion, it could melt a piece.
The energy of life and the negative energy of the dead monster, which is the natural restraint of the attributes.
In the face of natural enemies, the water ghosts are a little jealous, and they are even more sluggish and slow.
If it had a sane body, it would have felt very aggrieved.
As a water ghost, it is already afraid of high temperatures and electric shocks, and the super electric shock at the beginning makes it feel like it has been struck by lightning.
After being hit hard, it was crushed by the "sneak attack", and the repeated regeneration of key parts is depleting its reserves.
Now I have to face this hedgehog, a natural enemy who is full of "poison", and he is obviously restrained by attributes when he has the advantage of strength.
On the one hand, he suffered heavy blows repeatedly, but on the other hand, he was a new force with abundant physical strength, and his attributes were naturally restrained, and after many calculations, the gap in strength between Zhu Qinglan and the carrion water spider ghost was narrowed.
At first, Zhu Qinglan was still very cautious, and when she found that her opponent was far less terrible than that on the illustrated book, she was even more decisive and turned defense into offense.
Zhu Qinglan can only cover her right fist with white light now, but her years of experience in dry fighting have given her good hand-to-hand combat skills, at least, much more sensitive than the sluggish big water ghost.
Anticipate the opponent's attack, dodge, counterattack, and tear off a piece of flesh with every blow.
For a while, it was Zhu Qinglan who pressed the water ghost to fight.
And all this is seen by the observer on the roof and the "big brother" behind the camera.
"The preparation was not in vain, the attribute restraint was more effective than expected, and the situation was good. Team D continues to lurk........"
Lu Wu was giving an order, but the scream interrupted his words and listened to the voice, that was the stupid biao of Team E, wasn't he in charge of lookout.
"Big brother, in the river, in the river, there is another one!"
And another one? What else is there? What else could there be here, and a water monkey!
"Make it clear. Location, size ......."
"Coax!"
The answer to Lu Wu was that after a roar, the lights and computers in the room suddenly went out, and the scene of the camera disappeared.
Blackout? Caused by a broken power pole? Emergency power outage maintenance in the power sector?
Is this an alternative way of shooting yourself in the foot?
One water monkey will do its best to deal with it, and if there are two of them, one of them will be intact and will be wiped out.
Not well planned? Error with the intelligence source? Investigators are not conscientious?
There is no point in passing the buck, there is no time for regret, and with every second of delay, the risk increases dramatically.
The room was pitch black, but there was a chaotic noise of old cell phones on the table, and the screams of people and the roars of monsters were mixed together.
This made ordinary people fear and despair of the environment, but Lu Wu smiled heartlessly.
"Oh, that's how it's fun! Attention all squads, waiting for my orders. ”
