The lifeless glass buildings are cut through by layers of tracks, refracting too harsh orange light for decades.

In the square artificial lake, the last few goldfish seemed to have a premonition of the coming bad weather, and they gathered to the surface of the water that was almost completely covered by duckweed. Small bird-shaped flying machines pass through the cumulonimbus clouds that gradually envelop the sky, casting huge distorted shadows on the ground.

"Now traversing is the area numbered A7-4. The area is being scanned. Comparing images. Signs of life are being detected. "The mechanically simulated female voice is running on the aircraft as usual, while automatically retrieving remote sensing images of the same area from local sources from three months ago, carefully comparing each tiny patch with far more accuracy than humans.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Radiometric correction is being made, geometric correction is being made...... The comparison is completed, and the degree of similarity is 97.48%, which is judged to be green, safe area. There are no signs of humanoid survival. "Massive amounts of data are traveling at the speed of light in encrypted channels," as of May 21, 2200, 2,391 Earth days have passed since the last time humans were observed in the region...... Routes are being adjusted. Coming to the next area......"

Large, horizontally flying metal pieces disappeared behind the rolling mountains. Tong Siyuan leaned against the hot wall with his hands folded, and gave orders in a tone that did not fluctuate as always: "Okay, let's turn off the machine first, after all, it is also a valuable thing that is difficult to get." ”

Lao Qi bent down to pick up a small but heavy alloy cube, and carefully pressed the button at the bottom with his fingertips. 35xs

The strange noise, which was barely within the range of the human ear, finally disappeared. All the people around them instantly relaxed their tense limbs.

"It's from the direction of our house, so the children who are watching the house won't have anything to do this time, let's take a breath first." Tong Siyuan's gaze swept over the fish struggling among the duckweeds, "It seems that it is not suitable to travel tonight, we will leave tomorrow morning." As a rule, those who should clean up their dwellings will clean up their dwellings, and those who have a way to forage for food will go out to try their luck, and everyone will go ahead and return here before eight o'clock in the evening to concentrate. On the premise of ensuring that everyone has both time to rest and participate in the vigil, everyone is encouraged to take the initiative to take part of the work of the wounded, women, and children under the age of eighteen. Disband. ”

Fifteen well-dressed young men and women dispersed in an orderly manner, leaving only a few wounded lying in place. Tong Siyuan coughed lightly, and urged slowly at the one who was currently the most alive: "Bi An, I have never had idlers under me. Please help yourself and give your companions the medicine in turn. ”

"What about you?" Already standing up with a gloomy face, Tong Bi'an still habitually said.

"I still have a lot to think about. It's a customary division of labor within the team, and I'm not responsible for these chores. After all, they are not ten-year-olds who need to be nagged by their parents. Tong Siyuan looked at his blue face, and his tone was a little more stern, "You are only suffering a flesh injury, what's the matter, can't you walk on this mountain road?" ”

"I'm not a ten-year-old who needs to be nagged by parents." Tong Bi'an's trembling gaze swept over Gu Lan's scratched face in a comatose state, and the movement of applying medicine on his hand was quite skillful, "In addition, tell me why the six-fingered drone is staring here." 35xs”

"Are you scared? It's nothing, it's just routine. Tong Siyuan rubbed his sour eyes, and his voice was low, "After all, they are people who have completely destroyed a planet, and they must have suffered more than us in preventing microscopic problems." There had been an incident in this area a few years ago, and even if all the inhabitants had disappeared, they still did not dare to let their guard down completely, and they would do so about every three months. ”

"What is there about such a city built according to the template that has been in vogue for decades that they should be wary of to this day?" Tong Bi'an asked, "You said that the former residents here have disappeared?" Where did it disappear? What are the identities of these residents? ”

"As you can see, this is a human city. More precisely, it is a group of ordinary people who seem to be in peace. ”

"'Seemingly'?"

"There used to be a lot of remnants of such a place in the area basically controlled by the Six Fingers, so they didn't pay much attention to it at first, after all, it took a lot of time for them to have a certain understanding of the overall history and geography of this planet. After all, some humans are reluctant to fully cooperate, even if they are under their control. There is so much ineffective and false information that they can only do it themselves, or cultivate agents from an early age. Tong Siyuan followed his brother's gaze, "By the way, if you want to know more details about this, you should ask Miss Gu more later." ”

"You don't talk about this kind of topic in that playful tone, she can't help herself." Tong Bi'an grinded his teeth and barely endured, "Also, that's not what I asked. ”

"Patience is indispensable if you want to get effective intelligence." Tong Siyuan habitually took out an empty pocket, and after a pause, he licked his lips, "To make a long story short, the incident here is not caused by Six Fingers...... You should already know about the scandals in the water city, right? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Perhaps I have more say in this matter than you do. Tong Bi'an's eyes full of concern suddenly withdrew from Gu Lan's body, "After all, things ...... It was from me in the first place. ”

"Yes." Tong Siyuan's tone was not surprised. He looked at the afterglow left by the sun before it completely set in the sky, "But if I want to say, the methods they use are already relatively civilized. When it comes to how to 'develop' the potential of gifted people, the people who start the sect are, of course, those who are eager for ability. ”

"What do you mean......" Tong Bi'an's eyes widened gradually.

"See the mountain to the south that is almost burned bald? The first time I came here, I happened to witness someone setting a fire. Tong Siyuan raised his arm, "There, it used to be full of radiated crops that have been cultivated twiceβ€”you know what this means, right?" ”

"It's alright, let's get out of here." Liu Xia skillfully raised her hands up, lifted a heavy manhole cover, and then flipped it out lightly. She turned her head and stretched out her hand to the distracted Yuan Sui, and asked with a smile, "Do you want to help?" ”

"Ah......? Oh, no need. Yuan Sui kicked his legs, and before he could exert his hands, he had been pulled up by a strong force.

"Alright, it's clean again for the time being." Liu Xia sat on the ground all of a sudden because of inertia. She took a breath, turned sideways to greet the other companions who were emerging from various inconspicuous places one after another, and then turned her head and smiled at Yuan Sui, "You stay here first, I have to help recover." ”

After a while, the seemingly empty town was back in a lively state. Yuan Sui straightened up and watched as the familiar young man climbed onto the roof again, arranging the rubble that had been deliberately destroyed dozens of minutes ago piece by piece.

"Don't be surprised, every three months, we have to do such a strange event." When she passed by Yuan Sui again, Liu Xia hugged a bunch of pumpkin vines that had been picked up from the ground two hours ago, "Although it seems stupid to destroy the village by myself and rebuild it a few hours later...... But it is necessary. It's just a pity that these dishes don't know how much they can live in the field now. ”

"You ...... Is it to deceive the drone that passed by? It passes every three months? ”

"yes, it's weird to say. But we can't do anything but disguise it in advance every time to make sure that the buildings here look exactly the same as they were three months ago. ”

"Exactly the same?" Yuan Sui was speechless, "How is this possible?" ”

"So you have to be careful with how to use it, try not to move the large items that can not be moved, and the house can't be overhauled if it looks too bad." Perhaps it was indeed because she was in a hurry to rescue the pumpkin, Liu Xia kept walking in front, and Yuan Sui could only follow honestly, "As for the details, it doesn't matter, we have a very powerful supervisor." ”

"Who?" Yuan Sui probably already had a guess in his heart.

"What if." Liu Xia threw the vine in her hand on the ground first, and wiped the sweat from her head casually, "He can remember everything he has seen, and he will perfect all the details for us." ”
