Chapter 109: The Barrier

Knowing that the person in front of him would never have the heart to joke, Yuan Sui suddenly felt a "chuckle" in his heart, and shrunk his neck and asked cautiously: "What's wrong?" Tell me, it's only halfway to the story of horror. Flash."
"You should know that after we identified the main area of activity from the 'Six Fingers', this was once the largest town in the vicinity, and because of this, it was eventually bombed and all the construction was destroyed."
"yes." Yuan Sui nodded, "Speaking of which, I also think it's a little magical...... Obviously they have already experienced this, and there are still humans who trust Six Fingers and are willing to trade with them. If you don't mention anything else, aren't you afraid of contracting some strange epidemic that has immigrated from other planets like before? I thought that both old and new humans should have learned this lessonβand that is why we had to move to sea? Otherwise, who wants to float around all day long, and to use projection technology to hide themselves, even to fly a plane must first find a safe place to transfer, can sit under the water to drive a boat will never sit on the boat floating on the sea, like a thief. β
"That being said, judging from the more conservative expansion strategy of the 'Six Fingers' in recent years, it is true that not everyone among them wants to be our enemy." As the "second generation of the countermeasure team", Ling Shucheng's views are unexpectedly more conservative, "Just as there are differences between human races and nationalities, the opinions within the 'Six Fingers' have always been unified, and even some ordinary people on land can barely make ends meet, or rely on the support of the 'fusion faction' among them......
ββ¦β¦ It's amazing. Yuan Sui blinked, "I thought that people like you, who have been fighting on the front line, should be the people who hate them the most, after all, most of our work is inseparable from them, and the human race has fallen to this kind of field completely thanks to them." β
"No, if we just compare the numbers intuitively, most of our work comes from human beings themselves...... At the end of the day, of course."
"Wait, it's off track again, of course I don't mind discussing these advanced questions with you, but," Yuan Sui paused for a long time before he continued, "Can you please tell me first, what exactly did you just find?" I feel a little hairy standing here now. β
"The explosion that happened here was so sudden that almost no residents managed to evacuate." Ling Shucheng used his answer to prove that what he said earlier did belong to the "Introduction" part, "The residents of the town we left not long ago moved here after that, and they are not locals. β
"Oh, no wonder, the snacks sold inside are indeed from all over the world." Because of standing on a high place, Yuan Sui enjoyed the feeling of looking down on Ling Shucheng for the first time, and nodded contentedly.
"There were about 300,000 inhabitants here, less than 1 in 1,000 survived, most of them were disabled for life, and a few lucky enough became radical rebels......
"That's understandable." Yuan Sui couldn't help but interject.
"I think I've seen aerial photos of this neighborhood in the newspapers." Ling Shucheng's tone was a little subtle, "In short, what is in front of you now, and what is under your feet...... Probably not just 'the remains of the city'. Or it should be implicitly stated that the former inhabitants also formed part of it. β
"Oh, that's it? I thought something was wrong. Yuan Sui understood, so he folded his hands and bowed hastily, "Let's not mention that there is a debtor who is wronged, we are just passing by, even if there is a ...... Well, if there's that, it shouldn't have come to take revenge on us. Besides, they should only have a bunch of inorganic matter left at most, right? As a living organism, human beings are still much more environmentally friendly than these non-degradable metals. β
"The problem is not this ......" Ling Shucheng seemed to whisper a "tsk", probably trying to consider the wording, "...... After many years, they shouldn't still be able to smell outside, right? β
Yuan Sui was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously moved a step away from the wreckage in front of him.
She has always been slow to respond, and this time she manipulated the rope in mid-air in time, but the fulcrum she chose was not weighty, but she was pulled up by her weight and fell to the ground together.
"Thanks, thank you, boss." Confirming that his floating position at this time was almost touching the ground, Yuan Sui stammered in shock, "You reacted so fast!" β
"I prepared it in advance." Feeling that Yuan Sui stretched out a hand and directly turned over and landed on the ground as if he was a guardrail, Ling Shucheng tensed a little straighter, "So at first, I planned to wait for you to come down and then tell you." β
"Oh, you're so sweet." Motosui accented the word "really", patted it on his chest again, and then focused his eyes on the railroad track that he had brought up.
Wearing a piece of blood-stained cloth that makes people think about it, it is fluttering in the wind for the sake of finally seeing the light of day.
"It's not rust...... Yuan Sui muttered to himself as he dipped his finger a little red on the railroad tracks.
"From the previous level of technology, it is not possible to build a city with materials that are prone to rust." Ling Shucheng glanced at Yuan Sui's face, "Are you okay?" β
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a little sudden." Yuan Sui stuck out his tongue, "No wonder I feel like I've stepped on something, and it's strange to touch-"
"Alright." Ling Shucheng interrupted her a little helplessly, "Some people have just died around here recently, be careful." β
"Shall we go into the city and have a look?" Yuan Sui said with emotion, "It's good that I haven't eaten anything in the morning." β

"Shi, Shi ......" Gu Lan struggled to spell pinyin on a densely typeset paper, and finally chose to give up, patted the gray-eyed alien on the shoulder of the leader, and forced him to ask, "Come, this alien guy, tell my sister quickly, how should you pronounce this string of names?" β
The pressure on his shoulders was getting stronger, presumably conveying a tangible threat. The gray-eyed young man looked up at her and replied, "In Chinese, it is generally written as 'Shi Yin'. β
"Wait a minute, you're almost forty? Is this good maintenance or are you naturally more anti-aging? Gu Lan slapped her thigh suddenly, as if she was very envious, "Look at the little face that has no folds at all...... Alas, I'm going to report you for being suspected of fraud! I knew it was an uncle, so I asked someone else to ask. β
This tone vaguely reveals a bit of a female hooligan-like bold temperament. Shi Yin took half a step back and asked cautiously, "What exactly do you want to do?" β
Gu Lan dragged out a small bench from the side of the room, sat down with Erlang's legs crossed, and said leisurely: "You must understand one thing first, the person who asks the question can only be me." Have you ever learned an idiom? Do you understand what it means to be sized? Your brothers are in our hands. β
"It's not a 'brother', it's a 'collaborator', a subordinate who cooperates with my work." This guy is actually very rigorously corrected.
"Okay, Professor Shi." Gu Lan had been shaking her legs rhythmically, "Guess what we tied you here for?" β
The tender-looking alien looked straight at her for a moment with long, narrow gray eyes, and said thoughtfully in a slow, slow, "No wonder...... The so-called 'brother army' that fights some of us in the north is mainly made up of ordinary humans, and 'gifted' people like you are simply rare - otherwise we would not dare to show our ambition to conquer this place in the open. β
"Yes, there is one thing we have in common, that is, we have limited affection for those ordinary people." The smile on Gu Lan's face gradually dissipated, "When we can be used to escort their lives, they will force us into the battlefield like some kind of slaughtering machine." Once the relationship with you eased somewhat, we became the first time bomb that threatened their survival, and we were ostracized in various ways, and even wished that we would be killed by you one by one. β
"You've been doing more and more joint operations lately." Shi Yin whispered, "I thought you really couldn't see this clearly. It is not us who want the 'supernatural abilities' of you humans to disappear the most, but you humans yourselves. β
"No, no, no." Gu Lan shook her index finger, "Although collectively referred to as 'humans', I refuse to confuse them with them. β
"Because you think you're superior?"
"I said it, don't ask me questions." Gu Lan stood up and used her height advantage to make her sense of oppression increase dramatically, "In short, this time, kidnapping you yourself is also on our agenda, so it should be a favor for them." Your famous professor has disappeared into this realm, and you will probably be able to settle down, and with the reparations paid by the 'brother army' who think they have justice in their hands, this neighborhood will probably be able to stop for a few years...... After all, I don't want to be bombed around my house again. β
Noticing her unusually calm tone, Shi Yin raised her head and asked again, "You don't seem to have a strong hostility towards us?" β
"How could it be. Thanks to you, I have received numbness in collecting the corpses of my companions. Gu Lan looked at him coldly, "Of course, a person like me, who was born with a natural talent, is already one in a million luck." Otherwise, how can I stand in front of you with the confidence I do now, ready to say a word wildly. She smiled sharply, "Your life is in my hands." β
"I don't want to say any 'guilty' nonsense, because it's complete nonsense."
"yes, there's no room for negotiation between us. Either you can honestly explain what we want to know, and we will let you go back as appropriate, or ......" Gu Lan raised a knife, "I have no mercy for aliens. β
"It's a common disease for you humans." Shi Yin said.
"Each other, each other." Gu Lan replied loudly.
