A few months later, in the basement ward of Fairbanks District Hospital.

"Tick...... Backbite...... Tick ......" came the mechanical sound of a life support machine in the empty room. The screen of the sustainer displays the data of the living entity in the cabin, and from this alone, it can be seen that there is a human subject in a weakened state of data.

"Medical personnel, please note that the No. 32 life support device has detected signs of vital dying, please ask the medical staff to be in place quickly. The No. 32 life support device detected signs of dying life in the vital body, and asked the medical staff to be in place quickly". With the rigidity of digital broadcasting over and over again, the status lights on the life support device jump from green to orange.

The heart rate had fallen below the baseline, but there was no sound in the entire hospital except for the sound of the announcement. With no doctors, no nurses, not even security guards, this is a ruined hospital in an abandoned city.

"Vital signs declined, and it automatically entered the emergency resuscitation link", and finally, the life support device seemed to give up hope of seeking help from medical personnel and entered the pre-set mode. With the sound of sizzling electricity, the indicator light of the life support device turned red, "The sustainer is in emergency life resuscitation, do not forcibly open the cabin, do not forcibly open the cabin ......", the dull mechanical sound sounded again, and the values on the screen soared instantly, and the originally orderly curve was chaotic. This frenzy lasted for about half an hour, and the maintainer was quiet again.

The hatch slowly opened, and the hazy water vapor slowly drifted out of it, and the light on the maintainer returned to green, "Life resuscitation has been completed, please pay attention to the patient's recovery in the future." ”

Before he could finish speaking, a man suddenly sat up in the cabin. He is about 1.85 meters tall, with short black hair that blocks his eyes a little, dark eyes with a little doubt, blue stubble on his chin and cheeks, and loose clothes that can't hide his sturdy physique. He breathed in the real air as he looked around, his straight eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

……

Who am I?

He asked silently in his heart.

Jiang Ke. I'm Jiang Ke. A member of the Celestial Empire's Homeland Security Agency's covert agency.

……

Where am I?

He looked around, except for a door leading to the outside world, a small number of large medical equipment, and the cold pale walls were in front of him.

……

What happened?

Dormancy left his brain in a state of short circuit, and his nervous system was still slowly recovering. The perennial military habits made him try to take the initiative when the scene was out of control, Jiang Ke began to adapt to such an environment, he moved his limbs slightly, while trying to recall the situation before losing consciousness, and gradually came to mind the picture on the plane.

"Chief! The plane is out of control! Abandon the machine! The captain's roar resounded throughout the cabin.

Several people set up their parachutes and jumped from the plane in an orderly manner. Unfortunately, the place where he landed was not far from the plane and was affected. The final image is thick smoke and fire.

So I was treated in the hospital because I was injured? Is this a hospital? But why didn't anyone show up after waking up for so long? What about your teammates? What about the Slots?

Jiang Ke supported and barely rubbed the maintainer. As his feet landed on the ground, he looked around again and made sure that this was not an ordinary hospital room, where would there be no windows? Will there be so many instruments here? Are you being captured?

The gradual recovery of his nervous system not only allowed him to start thinking normally, but also caused him to feel a sharp pain in his leg, and he pulled up his trouser leg to find a large pink twisted scar on his leg, indicating the damage caused by the crash.

Immediately, he found a backpack with a letter on the chair next to the life support machine.

"Brother, I won't give up on you. Next to the bed is a gift for you, follow the map to meet us", the letter was signed by Li Jie, a member of the special operations team.

Jiang Ke dragged through the backpack and found a holographic map on the outermost side, on which he drew an X on Anderson with a red marker pen and marked the distance as 134.7 kilometers. In addition to this, there are some compressed dry food, two large bottles of mineral water, a military dagger, an American military pistol and two magazines. In the side pocket of the backpack, there is a quiet M-SEEN, which is issued by their department, one for each person, with powerful functions. Its appearance is like an ordinary ultra-thin glass, but it is both a communication device and similar to a flat plate, the texture is hard, wear-resistant, drop-resistant and corrosion-resistant, Jiang Ke immediately opened M-SEEN, the time displayed on it is 17:24 on August 7, 2057, and three months have passed since the end of the meeting - May 6, 2057. He shook his head with a wry smile, he still remembered that when he took this M-SEEN from the director's hand, the director smiled and said, "Even if you fall apart, this thing will be unscathed, and then the department will chase it to the sky and the earth and collect the body for you", but he didn't expect that he was seriously injured in the plane crash, but this M-SEEN was indeed more able to withstand the toss than himself. The battery was 99%, but it showed no service, and after trying to switch to radio function to no avail, he had to choose to turn off M-SEEN. Then, in the corner of his backpack, he caught a glimpse of his favorite playful dog, and he had to choose an electronic dog because of his busy schedule and love dogs.

"Brother is quite hearted", Jiang Ke said softly.

Jiang Ke sorted out the information he had now and made a plan, no matter what, go to Anderson first to see if he could join the team.

134.7 kilometers is not a very long distance for a soldier, and in his heyday he was full of energy and could reach it on foot in less than two days. The single-person walking target is small, and it is easy to hide from the enemy. However, the situation in the outside world is unknown at the moment, and there may be a crisis on the road that he has not faced, and besides, his injured leg and still recovering body do not allow him to make such an action. Therefore, Jiang Ke's first task before going to Anderson was to find a tool to get around, and it would be best if he could find a car with decent performance.

But before that, he decided to take a break in this ward first, and in order to face the unknown situation outside the door, recovering his strength was the first priority at the moment.

……

At half past seven the next morning, Jiang Ke, who had finished his morning exercise in the ward, walked out of the hospital full of corpses.

What was once a thriving city is now empty, and a pungent smell fills the air. Cracks in the streets and cracks in the walls were everywhere, but the city showed no signs of being attacked by large weapons, and the low walls of the buildings near the street were filled with potholes and bullet marks of various sizes, and in some places a layer of greenish-brown unidentified objects were attached to them.

The city of the end of the world, without a little life.

To Jiang Ke's surprise, there were not many corpses on the streets, judging from the situation of the corpses, most of them were human soldiers, and there were a small number of civilians. Judging from the direction in which the bodies fell and the degree of decomposition, Jiang Ke could almost certainly tell that they were not killed in battle, but were killed by a mass weapon in one and a moment. The near-intact corpse showed him that weapons were not physical, but some more nefarious means.

Jiang Ke squatted in front of several corpses, carefully examined for a moment, and found that the soldiers' corpses did not have any equipment, not even simple electronic devices, almost every corpse was barefoot, wearing only basic military vests and shorts, but the military registration cards were all there. The bodies of civilians were also looted. Obviously, the social order is not as good as it seems. In such an environment, the living always try to grab as many resources as possible that can be used for survival.

He checked several more cars in the vicinity, and the solar panels and batteries were removed and could not be started.

After having a brief understanding of the city he was currently in, Jiang Ke continued to move forward, and the city was deadly silent, and he had not even heard the sound of insects and birds. However, from the time he was observing the car just now, he heard the occasional sound of footsteps stepping on stones not far from him.

Obviously, he is not alone in the city.

"Squeak...... Squeak......" The sound of the machine coming from the front attracted Jiang Ke's attention. It was the collapse of a city, like a crater, and the sound came from the depression in the middle, and there was a mechanical leg in the gap of the reinforced concrete, trying to break free from it. Jiang Ke slid down the edge into the pit, pulled a broken steel bar from the side, and turned the machine over. Only then did he realize that inside was a "Wildcat" quadruped robot, which caused a huge sensation when it was launched, and to this day, the follow-up version of this robot is still in service with the U.S. military, but some parts of this machine have been replaced, and it is not in harmony with itself. And the machine is not struggling to get out of its restraints, it is just repeating the cyclical action of standing up and sitting. Jiang Ke looked up at the nearby building, and estimated that the "wild cat" was an exhibition machine that fell from above, and this small ruined crater was also caused by its fall from a height. However, there is no obvious damage to the outside of the machine, which makes people have to sigh that its craftsmanship is exquisite.

However, Jiang Ke had to do more than that, he noticed footsteps coming from the side of the ruins, he climbed out of the pit unhurriedly, leaned on the ruins on one side and secretly pushed the ruins hard, the small mound that had lost its balance and was crumbling immediately collapsed, making a roar, just suitable for his cover, Jiang Ke pretended to be exhausted in the climbing just now, bent down and gasped. Sure enough, two figures appeared on the other side.

It was two young men, standing a little in front of the stout body, wearing a dusty military jacket, his hair was messy, and his face was even dirtier, he looked at Jiang Ke for a long time, and was the first to speak, "You are the first living person we have seen in this whole month, where are you from?" ”

"I'm in this city", Jiang Ke selectively concealed part of the facts, "I hid in the basement", it was such a coincidence that it could be seen that these two people had been following him for a while, just now they were just vigilantly observing, but now seeing that he was not in good health, they boldly showed up. It's just the sound of them stepping on stones...... Jiang Ke paused, it was not the same as the footsteps he heard at the beginning, it seemed that what he had attracted was not the prey he had fancied.

"It seems that the thick concrete can indeed withstand the terrible attack", and next to the strong man is a short, normal-sized man wearing a military jacket that does not match his size.

"So how did you survive? Kindness...... I mean what do you eat for so long? The strong man then asked.

"I have food reserves," Jiang Ke replied.

The short man laughed when he heard this, and his face was full of contempt, "It seems that another poor rabbit who has been starved into the street." ”

Jiang Ke spread his hands and said that this was indeed the case.

"Your legs?" The strong man stared at Jiang Ke's leg for a long time, and said in a deep voice, "You are injured, we can help you, we also have food, come with us." He patted the gun pinned to his waist, "We've got a lot of refugees like you there, you're so lucky, we're going to do a final wave of searches in the city today, and if no survivors are found, we're going to abandon the city altogether."

Jiang Ke looked at him while saying comforting words, but at the same time pulled out the gun pinned to his waist, the gesture, as well as this person's posture, etc., are not what a soldier should have, Jiang Ke was alarmed in his heart.

"Yes, my legs are ......," Jiang Ke sighed, "It's the last strength to insist on coming out." He pretended to fall under his feet, and took advantage of the situation to hide his half-sideways figure behind the mound, and at the same time pressed his hand on the gun, he clearly knew that with his current physical condition, there was no way to fight these two people head-on, only to strike first, "I am so lucky, I met the army rescuers here, my leg is very badly injured, can you come and help?" ”

The strong man and the short man approached Jiang Ke one after the other, a smile appeared on the corner of their mouths, and the short man even gave the strong man a successful look, as if he didn't take Jiang Ke with a leg injury in his eyes at all.

Jiang Ke counted the steps in his heart, patiently waiting for the two of them to come to the range where he could kill.

"Run! They are not real military men! You're going to get caught! The atmosphere hung by a thread, but a man's shout suddenly sounded on the building on Jiang Ke's left.

"!" The strong man's face changed greatly, and he quickly raised the gun to Jiang Ke, "If you don't want to die, don't move!" ”

However, when the voice sounded, the two of them were distracted, Jiang Ke had already pulled out his gun and shot, and at this moment he also scolded in his heart, "... Lao Tzu's perfect plan! It could have been possible to shoot two people at once! ”

Due to the distance, Jiang Ke could only hit the strong man in front of him, the bullet passed through his trachea and stuck in the cervical vertebrae, and the strong man's huge body leaned back. Jiang Ke knew that he was not completely sure that he would be able to shoot a short man, and in order to preserve his strength, he decided not to waste this bullet almost instantly.

The short man watched the strong man fall to the ground in pain holding his neck, a large amount of blood gushing out of his chest, he didn't want to resist at all, he turned around and ran away in a panic.

Jiang Ke stood up, walked slowly to the strong man's side, and looked at him condescendingly.

The strong man's expression was very hideous, his mouth opened wide, as if he wanted to scold something, but he could only hiss and roared. Jiang Ke looked at him expressionlessly, and after a while, the strong man gradually lost his vitality due to lack of oxygen and blood loss.

"Click", there was a sound of a stone being kicked away from behind Jiang Ke, he reacted quickly, pointing a gun near the sound source, "Come out!" He put his index finger and middle finger together with his other hand and made a gesture of hooking back, signaling the other party to identify himself.
