Chapter 18: Interlude
The spiders crawled back and forth through the city's cobwebbed streets, busy and seemingly aimless.
The hostel, which is a budget room built in a slum area, is not close to the street and is only surrounded by old asphalt roads. The roads are littered with corpses, but the streets are surprisingly clean, empty except for the corpses of zombies. Zhang Zhiyu and Wang Kunzhi are arranging a trap, and they are not sure which path the spider will pass, so they change their minds and take the initiative to attract the spider.
"Fucking ......" The corpses were either blackened powder or still recovering from the clingy flesh. Now that the two of them had to walk through them, Zhang Zhiyu's soles were covered with this garbage, and he cursed angrily in his heart.
"Wang Kunzhi is a cleanliness fetish, hehe." He thought of Wang Kunzhi's feelings at this time, and couldn't help sneering in his heart.
"It seems that this damage can only be killed if this damage is achieved." Wang Kunzhi struggled to restrain his nausea, and this was his first contact with the lives of the middle and lower classes.
"Rest assured, the virus has taken us great." Zhang Zhiyu stuffed the loudspeaker that he casually removed in the hotel into a large pile of garbage, chose a heavy metal pure music, clicked play, and then grabbed the garbage on the top floor as quickly as possible, and changed the display screen of the loudspeaker.
The music slowly amplified, and soon, the almost cacophony of music began to hit the eardrums of both men heavily. They covered their ears and ran to the nearby residential building to hide.
The nearest spider sensed the noise, paused its work, and excitedly found the trail. There was no one ahead, but the music was still harsh.
The spider slowed down and looked around with its electronic eyes. It soon spotted the rudimentary traps and the sound of the music. The spider didn't stop moving, and it easily spotted the traces left by the two of them when they left in a hurry. It's just that it doesn't pay attention to the portable simple sensor under its feet. It was removed from the lock on the hotel door by the two and barely connected to a battery pulled out of a pile of debris like garbage.
An oversized ultrasonic cleaner tumbled off the roof of the opposite building and slammed into the spider's back, the blow only causing it to stagger a little, but it was a slight movement that touched the wire in front of it. The thin wire was not enough to bear its weight, and it cracked and collapsed to the sides, triggering the next layer of traps. Multiple cutters and steel cables flew towards the machine, cutting at the speed of light destroying its carapace, and the steel cables pierced it through its wounds.
The spider fell to the ground solidly. 5,6 freezers then smashed into the metal spider, and the debris almost buried it.
The robot can't move under the deadly force of gravity. Zhang Zhiyu and Wang Kunzhi excitedly rushed forward from their hiding places.
Jang Zhiyu turned the cutter to the strongest and cut off its head along the connection between the head and the metal body. The spider wasn't dead, it was alive, its metal teeth snapping together, and its electronic eyes glowing with a scarlet glow like hellfire.
"I hold it down, you control it." Zhang Zhiyu pressed the writhing spider's head to the ground with force. They knew they had to be fast, because more spiders were coming at any time.
Wang Kunzhi raised the dagger and cut off the sharp teeth of the spider.
"That's not what I meant." Zhang Zhiyu thought, he pretended that this was what he wanted to express, so he didn't say anything.
The two of them hurried back to the hotel with the spider's head in tow.
Next, Jang Zhiyu hacked into the spider's system, and then cracked it for hours. It's just that most of the data obtained is meaningless and messy, and Zhang Zhiyu has studied electronic programs all his life, and he has never even seen any of those symbols. As far as he knew, no time on earth, no country, had invented such an expression.
"it." Zhang Zhiyu asked Wang Kunzhi, "Can you decipher the code?" ”
"Not at all." Wang Kunzhi shook his legs idly, "Go on." ”
"Damn," Zhang Zhiyu roared, he was on the verge of collapse, "I fucking changed your sister's three points, and I didn't even get a little useful information!" ”
Wang Kunzhi
Zhang Zhiyu designed a simple program to scan all the data and remove the messy symbols.
"Looks like we'll have to wait a long time before we can do our separate things." Zhang Zhiyu pretended to laugh lightly. He took off his imaging eyes to see what Wang Kunzhi was doing.
Wang Kunzhi realized that someone was staring at him, and he stopped the game and looked at Zhang Zhiyu through the imaging eyes.
"How." Wang Kunzhi shrugged.
"It's fine." Zhang Zhiyu turned his gaze.
"Water," he stumbled, grabbing the glass, shaking all over the floor.
"What!" Although Wang Kunzhi asked, he obviously didn't want to get an answer.
"Nothing." Zhang Zhiyu almost muttered to himself. When you look at the inside of the eye from the outside, you can't see anything.
The blue strip light on the edge of the imaging eye flashes a few times, then turns green. Zhang Zhiyu grabbed it vigorously and buckled it in front of his eyes.
The program works very well, finding a coordinate that floats in front of many pages. Somehow, Zhang Zhiyu felt that the coordinates were very familiar.
Zhang Zhiyu grabbed his eyes, but hesitated.
"What?" Wang Kunzhi asked, and he leaned forward.
Zhang Zhiyu slowly took off his glasses, "Really, do we have to separate?" ”
"Yes," Wang Kunzhi said impatiently, "don't buzz like a *." ”
Zhang Zhiyu saved that coordinate and transmitted it to Wang Kunzhi.
"!" Zhang Zhiyu scolded angrily, he had a little impression in his memory, and thought that he once knew the meaning of this coordinate, and even went there. But just that little impression, this feeling is generally the most torturous. Desperately thinking about an important thing, but dying can't remember.
"Yes. Am I leaving? Wang Kunzhi's tone was not like a polite goodbye, but like asking if it was okay.
"Wait a minute." Zhang Zhiyu waved his hand, "God, I remembered another question." ”
"It's almost ......," Wang Kunzhi said, busily looking at the time in his imaging eyes, "It's fucking 10 o'clock." However, if there is anything important, hurry up and share it. His tone changed.
"It doesn't help you." Zhang Zhiyu said impatiently, "I'm just familiar with this coordinate. ”
"Huh." Wang Kunzhi didn't care about Zhang Zhiyu's unsatisfactory answer, "Are you stupid or what!" You...... You can check the map! Wang Kunzhi seemed surprised.
"Hahahaha!" Zhang Zhiyu smiled exaggeratedly, "Why the hell didn't I think of it." He immediately searched for coordinates and projected them through a projection.
It is clearly shown on the map.
"Abandoned hydroelectric power station." Wang Kunzhi directly ignored Zhang Zhiyu's dissatisfaction.
"Water...... Power station! Zhang Zhiyu stammered suddenly, the three words "hydropower station" stimulated his brain, at least in Zhang Zhiyu's subconscious, these three words were very important. He said those three words over and over again.
"What a play!" At the end, Zhang Zhiyu roared angrily.
"God knows," Wang Kunzhi's eyes widened, "this is the Three Gorges, which was established before World War III and then abandoned, but it is far enough from this city. ”
Zhang Zhiyu awakens some of the forgotten memories...... He looks like he's flying his own aircraft...... What to bring with you, to go there?
"And, really," Wang Kunzhi pointed to the scattered houses around the hydropower station, the map is not clear, but it can still be seen that those houses are small two-story buildings made of rags, and they can exist because they are slightly steep hills, "There are still people building such houses." ”
"Wait a minute," Zhang Zhiyu said directly, "Why don't I remember that I can fly a flying machine, and there is a flying machine?" As soon as he finished speaking, he remembered that he shouldn't have told Wang Kunzhi this idea directly.
"What a flying machine." Wang Kunzhi immediately asked.
"Nothing." Zhang Zhiyu wants to cope with the past.
"Hurry up," Wang Kunzhi sounded very unhappy, "You know you can't hide it." ”
"It's really nothing!" Zhang Zhiyu scolded casually, and then immediately knew that it was useless, "Okay, it's really nothing." ”
Zhang Zhiyu pretended to be relaxed and continued, "I just have a feeling, a damn feeling, I thought I had been to that hydropower station. ”
"Whatever!" Wang Kunzhi seemed to be very anxious, "Let's be careful." ”
"Oh, you know I invented these runaway machines." Zhang Zhiyu actually remembered more, he remembered the time, it was very, very close, so close to death, just a few days before the outbreak of the virus.
Zhang Zhiyu recalled carefully and found that he had forgotten a lot of things, all of which were a few days before the explosion.
"Hehe," Wang Kunzhi smiled mockingly, "I can guess what happened, I don't need to say it." ”
At the end, he added, "You don't want to answer anyway." ”
