Chapter 333: Arrows
Ice crystals.
Raging and wanton.
It seems to come from a distant kingdom of God.
Pure white swept the heavens and the earth.
It wasn't snow, but a strong wind, and the storm kicked up the hard snow and ice on the ground.
The air in that area is dry and receives very little rain throughout the year.
And further south, there is less precipitation, and it is not an exaggeration to call it an ice desert, but it is not the target of androids, it is too cold for machinery to bear, and there is a limit to the temperature rise of the body surface.
It was hard for Lu Wen to imagine what a group of androids looked like wrapped in cotton coats.
The android who led the expedition projected his memories on.
Many android leaders sat around and watched.
on the screen.
A few androids are walking comfortably through the snow.
The snow on the ground is not soft and firm.
In this kind of weather, human beings need to wear thick jackets, bring enough supplies, and need to rest and conserve their strength after walking for a while.
But androids don't have so many scruples.
"At this time, we have already completed the area that the Nine has set aside for us, and we are on our way back."
He said the expedition was perfect.
Underground city ruins suitable for androids have been found.
It only takes some time to renovate and become a second Eden.
"But on the way back, we suddenly saw this creature."
A blurred figure covered in snow-white flickered away at the end of the horizon.
For a short time.
In total, it took less than two seconds.
"Replay, pause, stop at that screen." Lu Wen said.
"No problem."
Video playback.
This time, everyone's eyes widened.
The picture freezes.
But it's still vague.
Although the eyes of the android are sophisticated cameras, far more than humans, both the photographer and the subject are moving.
At that time, there was a snowstorm again.
So the freeze-frame is just a blurred creature in human form.
"The memories of the rest of the brothers are the same, so they can play it back, and we were very close at the time."
"No need."
Lu Wen frowned, and began to analyze in his mind.
Judging by the distance in the video.
That creature should be between 1.5-1.8 in height.
Walking upright, humanoid, with a white body that resembles hair.
If it's really human, it's much more terrifying than a white disease.
"Then we chased after it, but there was only a crack in the ice around us, and we suspected that the creature had jumped into it."
None of them followed.
They are not stupid, this unknown terrain, it is very likely that they will not be able to come up if they follow.
It is often reported in various cities that a certain scientist accidentally fell into a crack and died while investigating in the extreme south or north.
"What do you think?" Lu Wen looked at everyone.
"If we want to live in that place, we have to find out what the creatures are there, otherwise we will be very passive."
"It's very dangerous, and we need to send a group of people with relatively strong combat effectiveness to the past."
ββ¦β¦β
β¦β¦
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Westtown has arrived.
The city is as reported.
It was in tatters and ruined.
High-rise buildings collapsed.
The bungalow was shot into a sieve.
The palace hall collapsed, and the treasures and relics inside were looted.
The current city of West is no longer prosperous with a population of hundreds of millions.
It doesn't look much better than those ruined cities in no man's land.
Shops on both sides of the street are either closed, smashed and looted, and there are traces of flames, the top brass of big business are still taking refuge in Versailles, and thugs are still haunting the corners of the city.
A large number of people have not yet returned, hiding in no-man's land or underground.
The bodies on the streets are still being cleaned up.
Aid is also being flown in from various cities.
The hatch opens.
The smell of the city's decay poured into the cabin, causing quite a few to frown.
In July, the summer is hot.
There are many rainstorms.
The smell of carrion seemed to follow the rain, seeping into every inch of the city, taking root and sprouting in the dark corners of the invisible place, and blooming bloody flowers.
It's hard to imagine how the city's inhabitants got used to it.
"There are fewer than 20 million residents back in West, and maybe that's why." An old councillor sighed.
Thankfully, the city of Mou hasn't become like this.
In fact, after the android riots, Mou may have become one of the most powerful cities.
Quite a lot of people were greeted at the airport.
There's West's royal family, the current Prime Minister and Mayor, and various Senate Ministers.
This was a fairly formal meeting between the two sides.
All the people in the entourage were arranged.
Then came the part where Wei Bo'an didn't like the most, chatting, and greeting each other.
In his opinion, this is a pointless and time-wasting act.
He often told Lu Wen that he had always been very envious of androids.
Because androids are very direct in greeting, they will say things when they should say things.
Five o'clock in the afternoon.
After the various processes, everyone was finally able to go and see the scene of the explosion.
Looking at it with your own eyes is very different from looking at a picture.
The explosive warehouse has been fenced off with a cordon.
"These are bomb fragments collected at the scene."
The person in charge of West's side gently placed some shrapnel in front of everyone.
There were also some other evidence, and they were brought with them.
The person in charge of the military-industrial complex here in Mowu put on gloves, poured a fragment out of the evidence bag, looked at it carefully for a moment, and then said: "This is indeed a product made by our company, and there will be no fakes." β
"Are you sure?"
"Sure."
The accompanying bomb experts also quickly came to the conclusion and agreed with the statement of the military industry.
This is followed by a more detailed discussion.
Get to know each other.
The accompanying publicist also worked with West's side.
released the news of Wei Bo'an's visit, and threw out a few pictures of everyone smiling and shaking hands to talk, indicating that the two cities had friendly exchanges or something.
For the time being, stabilize the mood of the people.
Lu Wen was still observing the scene of the explosion in the warehouse, and the voice of a middle-aged man sounded in the headphones he was wearing.
"Have you seen the princesses of the royal family's generation, I heard that several of them are very beautiful, blonde hair and blue eyes, with distinct facial features and good figures."
Duan Tiannan has never left West City these days.
During the week of the android riot, he hid underground with Momiji.
There are all kinds of food and drink.
Life is quite comfortable.
If your hands are itchy, come out and kill a few androids, or blow the heads of a few thugs.
Capable people can really mix anywhere, unless the environment is really bad enough to a certain extent.
"You're so old, why do you think about other people's princesses all day long?" Lu Wen sent a string of messages to the past.
"I almost took a princess away and flew away, who knew that that guy suddenly appeared in the summer......"
"You've said this many times."
"But I just can't get at ease."
"Look at your beer belly in the mirror, even if there is a princess, are you sure you still have the charm you had at the beginning?"
ββ¦β¦β
Duan Tiannan had nothing to say.
After all, he can't escape the greasy middle age.
Speaking of which, he is actually about the same age as Wei Bo'an, and he is the same generation.
But Wei Bo'an has insisted on exercising all these years, running on the front line every day, and now he is still a mature and stable beautiful man with muscles all over his body, even if he drinks, he is basically white.
And Duan Tiannan drank beer in that small place in the slum for ten years.
The chatter of the middle-aged man was gone.
Lu Wen can finally take a serious look at the scene.
"There is surveillance, there are no dead ends in monitoring, according to the information submitted, there are personnel taking turns to guard 24 hours a day, and idle people can't get in."
"Judging from the surveillance footage, the bomb should have been hidden a long time ago, probably during transportation, or when it was in Mowu City."
ββ¦β¦β
Lu Wen didn't analyze for too long.
It didn't take long for him to stop, because he knew that the investigation team was doomed to be in vain.
The explosion without a head and tail, and the exact origin of the bomb could not be found.
He had seen the monitoring of the entire transportation process, and found no problems, and there was no sneaky stuffing bombs into it.
"The only purpose of this visit is to appease the people of the two cities."
But the scolding between the two sides has already begun, and it is difficult to calm down.
It is of little use for the official to come forward.
The two cities do not speak the same language.
Cultural barriers.
actually relied on the translator to spray each other for two whole days, and it can only be said that the people's combat effectiveness is really strong.
Time flies.
Night falls.
The Western royal family hosted a banquet for Wei Bo'an and his party with the highest standard that could be achieved so far.
As a member of the team, Lu Wen was also treated very ceremoniously.
But he didn't want to waste his time eating, so he made an excuse to go out.
The night breeze was blowing outside.
Luckily, he doesn't have a sense of smell, so he can't smell those smells in the air.
There are no people at night in West,
The city has been through so much that the people are already afraid of the night.
From time to time, a few gunshots rang out.
It was the remaining thugs who were revolting.
Under the encirclement and suppression of the coalition forces in various cities, the rioters have not had a good life for a few days, and most of them have laid down their arms.
"Whewββ!"
Very subtle sound.
Pierce the night sky.
The patrolling soldiers heard the voice, but they found nothing.
Lu Wen saw it.
It was a black arrow, fused with the night, and the arrow flashed with a deadly menace and headed straight for his face.
His face remained unchanged, he stood in place, and with a casual grasp of the lightning-fast arrow.
The arrow was two fists away from his face.
The sudden attack startled the surrounding soldiers.
They are all very young, and they have almost no actual combat experience after emergency training during this time, and they have not even experienced exercises, so they took up arms to defend their families and the country.
What flashed in their hearts a second ago was not how to be vigilant, but: What age is this, and there are still people using arrows?
But the next second they reacted.
"Protect the VIPs!"
A soldier shouted.
"No, just leave it to me."
Lu Wen said lightly.
He casually threw down the black arrow feather and chased after it.
Night vision mode is on.
Draw your gun.
Open insurance.
Bullets are loaded.
In front of the palace, far away, on the ruins and wreckage, a man dressed in black combat uniform carried a longbow, smiled at Lu Wen and beckoned.
If nothing else.
It's going to be another night chase, attracting attention from all sides, and then a bunch of chirping nonsense, introducing yourself, half-talking, adding to the mystery or something.
But this time something went wrong.
Because Lu Wen is too lazy to talk nonsense.
So he raised his hand and it was a shot.
"Bang ββ!"
The silence shattered as the sound of gunfire startled a flock of black crows devouring flesh.
The spinning bullet hit the man's knee.
Blue blood splattered out.
"You ......"
The smile on the man's face froze.
He was half-kneeling on the ruins, and before he could continue to speak, another shot was fired.
This time he scrapped his other leg.
"Why don't you play by the routine?"
