Volume 2 The Return of the Stars Chapter 58 The call is on

"Grandma, fortunately you're fine, otherwise I really don't know how to explain to your father, why did you run to Lishui ...... without saying a word?"

Next to Dr. Wu Yuannu stood a middle-aged soldier, the two red thin bars on the epaulettes and the four star emblems indicated his identity as an army colonel, but at this moment he did not have the majesty of the past, like a housekeeper.

Wu Yuan was speechless, this uncle who watched her grow up from childhood to adulthood is good anywhere, but he always likes to have broken thoughts in front of her.

"Uncle Qin, how is the situation in Lishui?" Wu Yuan decisively interrupted Qin Guomin, otherwise he would really be annoyed to death.

As soon as he mentioned the matter, Senior Colonel Qin Guomin became serious, "The casualties are relatively heavy, but the situation has been brought under control, and soon after you withdrew, we have given up the cost of half the city and eliminated those bugs." ”

Wu Yuan knew what he meant by "half a city", except for strategic-level weapons, the meaning of conventional weapons could no longer solve the problem. According to the feedback report, at least a dozen giant earth-drilling demon insects have invaded Lishui, and the cause has not yet been clarified. Sacrifice is inevitable, but if the strong man does not break his wrist, there will be more disasters, and there are many incidents in exchange for strategic victories with reasonable sacrifices, and Wu Yuan has been numb from the first shock to now.

The origin of this giant insect is still a mystery, but it is certain that it will not be a native species of the earth. Earth's giant age ended eons of age long ago, and with the current amount of oxygen in the air, it is impossible to produce such giant creatures, and it is not suitable for them to live.

Speaking of the Ground Drilling Demon Worm, Wu Yuan suddenly remembered something.

"Uncle Qin, you can help me check someone."

"Check people?" Qin Guomin looked at Wu Yuan with some surprise, this genius girl he watched grow up rarely became interested in people, she had only stayed with inhuman creatures since she was a child.

"A thin young man in the same car as me, he may be a stranger."

"Anomalous ones? You shouldn't have asked me to check this, you should have asked him directly. ”

Wu Yuan knew who Qin Guomin was referring to, and it was precisely to hide from that annoying person who had sneaked to the remote Lishui to disguise herself as a military doctor, and her real identity was a researcher at the Jiangnan Theater Research Headquarters in Jinling City, and her father was one of the seven founders of the institute.

"Uncle Qin, you know, I don't want to see him."

"But he, after all, it's your ......" Before Qin Guomin finished speaking, Wu Yuan's face changed, and he said in a voice that only he could hear, "Sooner or later, we have to be together, it's really ......"

"Okay, I see. He's a special anomaly? ”

"Sort of, anyway, I'm interested in him." Wu Yuan's eyes glowed with a strange light.

Qin Guomin couldn't help but sympathize with the young guy, it was not a good thing to be targeted by a female Frankenstein, it was still easy to investigate a person with his identity.

......

The night in Jinling City was shiveringly cold, and it seemed that the weather had become cold after the end of the world.

Jiang Luo walked alone on the street, the cold wind blew his thin body, he saw an abandoned newsstand, opened the door only to find a long-haired man wrapped in a torn jacket squatting inside, looking like a homeless man before the end.

Facing his fierce gaze, Jiang Luo found that he was still holding a sharp dagger in his hand, as if to warn Jiang Luo that this was his territory, and if he went any further, he would be attacked.

Although Jiang Luo's skills could completely parry this homeless man, he just silently retreated and closed the iron door again.

It's just an ordinary person.

After a few blind tones, Jiang Luo finally got through the phone, this mobile phone number was the one she had been using before the apocalypse, although the possibility of getting through after the apocalypse was very small, but there was nothing else to do.

"Hey, who is it?"

The lively and familiar voice on the other end of the phone made Jiang Luo happy, she was really fine!

Jiang Luo cleared his throat and said, "It's me, Jiang Luo." ”

There was silence, as if there was no one on the other end of the line.

"Hey, hey, are you okay?"

After a long time, Jiang Luo heard a somewhat choked voice reply: "Why did you only arrive now, I thought you were ......"

Calculated that Jiang Luo was three months later than the budgeted time, and these three months were basically trapped in that strange city.

Diana arrived in Jinling City three months ago, at that time there were not so many monsters along the way, Jinling City had just begun to carry out city defense construction, because of her parents' special work, so their family also received preferential treatment, and the current situation is not bad. At this moment, Diana was not in Jinling City, but followed her parents to the north of the defensive circle.

"I'll have someone pick you up, and you report your location......"

Half an hour later, off-road vehicles stopped beside Jiang Luo, and a tall man in black stepped out of the car.

"Are you Jiang Luo?"

Listening to the familiar voice, Jiang Luo looked up and was startled.

This man in black actually looks exactly like Angkor at the beginning, if he couldn't feel the breath of life of the other party, he would only think that he had seen a ghost in the middle of the night!

"You are?"

"My name is Wu Lun, and Wu Gang is my brother." He seemed to guess something from Jiang Luo's expression, and deliberately mentioned Angkor, and it was not ruled out that he had an opinion about Jiang Luo, after all, Angkor's death was indirectly because of Jiang Luo, if Diana didn't wait for him, his brother wouldn't have died in the horror forest to protect the two of them.

"Get in the car, it's too cold outside." Wu Lun greeted and opened the car door.

Jiang Luo nodded and got into the back seat.

Although Jinling Castle is brightly lit at night, it is also very quiet. Without these illuminated street lights, it would be a dead city.

"Jinling is like this, unless there are special circumstances, no one wants to go out at night, after all, it's too unsafe outside." Wu Lun stared at Jiang Luo, who had been looking out the window in the rearview mirror, as if he was introducing it in order to relieve the embarrassing atmosphere.

"I'm sorry." After a long time, Jiang Luo spoke.

Wu Lun snorted, and then said coldly: "He is my brother, but don't be mistaken, he didn't die for you, he died for the mission, he didn't need your apology!" ”

Jiang Luo didn't reply, he could feel a trace of deliberately suppressed anger in Wu Lun's tone. If this is not the case, Jiang Lu will feel strange, who will not have the slightest complaint about this situation? His apology was both a gesture and a temptation. If the other party behaves calmly, Jiang Luo will feel that there is a ghost in it, and even wonder if the other party is ready to clean himself up.

The atmosphere in the car stiffened again, Jiang Luo lay on the seat and closed his eyes to recuperate, about ten minutes later, the off-road vehicle stopped, only to hear Wu Lun say coldly: "I don't welcome you, but as a friend of the eldest lady, I won't treat you well." This is the key to this house, everything it should have in it, you can live here these days, remember not to cause trouble, don't run around! This is not the peaceful and prosperous world before the apocalypse, and I am not responsible if you are wrong! ”

Jiang Luo looked at the ordinary community in front of him and felt a little surprised, but it makes sense to think about it carefully, it is not easy to place an ordinary room in Jinling City now, it is conceivable that the Di family is not bad even in Jinling City!

As far as Jiang Luo knows, Diana's parents seem to be researchers, but the Di family is not just based on research, once in the magic capital, the Di family seems to be the major shareholder of a large pharmaceutical listed group.

As Jiang Luo walked into the community, he found many refugees sleeping on the edge of the building, huddled together and huddled together under the scarce street lamps to keep warm. The pale light shone on them, and some white chill floated up, and if you listened closely, you could hear their faint moans of hunger and cold.

I saw a lot of such people on the street before, but what I didn't expect was that there would be in the community, and there were quite a few of them, but it seems normal to think about it carefully, after all, within half a year, the entire East China south of the Yangtze River has defected to the Jiangnan Theater, but the first group of people to enter Jinling City is not necessarily the best, and the first aborigines of Jinling City are not necessarily lucky. With the influx of outsiders, many indigenous people have been forced to abandon their homes and live on the streets just to make room for certain special people.

When Jiang Luo swiped open the door of the building, he could feel countless pairs of throbbing eyes behind him, they were like a pack of wild wolves that were about to starve to death, but the patrol security guards who came later calmed them down again.

The two security guards looked at the key in Jiang Luo's hand, and said impatiently: "Hurry in, don't go out at night in the future." ”

Now the two of them can afford to live in the building, but this kind of person who goes out in the middle of the night is always very troublesome, and there have been cases of mobs hurting people in the middle of the night.

After they passed by, Jiang Luo realized that they were not security guards at all, but two armed policemen in civilian clothes, and they also carried a shotgun and an explosion-proof electric baton behind their backs.

Jinling City still has special military control, and there are armed police patrolling the community to prevent riots, and most of the people who gather outside the community are the original inhabitants of these buildings......

Jiang Luo opened the door, this is a standard two-person suite, which is fully equipped, it should have been a private house, but at this time, it has been transformed into a hotel suite.

He locked the door and lay quietly on the comfortable and soft bed after washing, which he hadn't slept on for about half a year, and was a little uncomfortable lying on it at the moment.

With his current eyesight, he can see even without turning on the light, and lighting a lamp in a dark building always feels like a very bad thing, perhaps for some unknown reason, most of the floors on the opposite side are pitch black.

And now it's only eleven o'clock, and it's just the beginning of the nightlife in normal times.

Jiang Luo didn't fall asleep, for some reason, he was always a little restless, as if he had faintly forgotten something.

So he sat up, absorbing the elemental aura in the air little by little according to the way he had cultivated before, and then periodically operated in his body.

It's a pity that there has been no such qualitative leap since coming out of Lake City, although the effect of the elemental aura is minimal, it is like throwing a drop of water into the sea, and it has not had the slightest effect.

Maybe there was something wrong with his body, but in short, Jiang Luo's cultivation seemed to have reached a bottleneck, and there was no more progress except for replenishing his energy.

The more in this apocalypse, the more people yearn for the power that can change their fate, instead of crying in despair under the bloody mouths of monsters.

Jiang Luo is no exception, after learning about the existence of the so-called superhuman, Jiang Luo is thinking about whether the superhuman can really reach the level of superman in the movie, if it can, many originally deadly monsters will become less terrifying, and humans can even hunt them in turn.

The only person he has come into contact with is the captain Li Qiang, but he belongs to the special ability of the perception type, and he is not the so-called conventional ability, so he can't completely explain Jiang Luo's situation.

Isn't it time to find a time to go to that so-called testing agency? There are a lot of supernatural people gathered there, and there are always people who are in a similar situation to themselves, right? Maybe something more powerful than yourself, or even a true transhuman?

Unconsciously, it was already two o'clock, and the meager elemental qi that he had captured had already walked five times in his body, almost exhausted, and Jiang Luo also felt a trace of sleepiness, not physical sleepiness, but spirit.

Controlling the movement of elemental qi through a highly concentrated mind is a very laborious task.

Just as he was about to lie down and rest, he suddenly heard a faint gasp from the other side of the wall.

"Well, don't ......."

"Shhh If someone knows that you have snuck into the building, you know the consequences! "It's a man's voice, and it's more obscene than threatening.

"Hmm......"

The woman seemed to be gagged by something, but a low whimper still reached Jiang Luo's ears.

It's not that the sound insulation of the walls is not good, it's that Jiang Luo's hearing is beyond the normal range! As long as he concentrated his consciousness, he could hear very subtle sounds, which was also part of the reinforcement achieved through the flesh vertebrae after cultivation.

Jiang Luo had already guessed what was probably happening next door, it was nothing more than the most clichΓ©d episode in the apocalypse, but at this moment, the woman's breathing was replaying in his mind like a tape recorder.

Is it because I haven't had that for too long?

But he could clearly feel that he didn't have that kind of physical impulse, and this strange desire seemed to come from "within", a spiritual desire that didn't seem to belong to him!

Looking at the balcony outside the floor-to-ceiling window, Jiang Luo thought about it, this is the sixth floor......
