Chapter 273: How could it be her
Towards dusk, Dantu was brought out to the control room again.
Seeing Xilin and the others again, Dantu no longer had the initial fear and surprise, except for being a little overly cautious when he looked at the gray cat, he was already much more indifferent.
I have to say that this young boy has a very good psychological quality, perhaps because of the living environment, which makes him more precocious and calm than his peers in some other peaceful planets with good conditions. But Dantu's composure cracked down when he saw the projection in the middle of the control room.
There is a countertop in the middle of the control room, and the projection on it is the projection of the whole city that Nicky sent a miniature probe to infiltrate and scan when a patrol team returned to the city.
After entering the city, the miniature detector is broken down into several smaller parts, which scans the metal city in multiple directions, and then transmits the information to the aircraft to form an all-round scan map. With the metal city's internal defense system, it is impossible to detect that an external detector has infiltrated and transmitted information to the outside world.
Living in this city for more than ten years, Dantu has not been able to see the whole picture of the city, but now he has seen it from strange aliens, and several landmark buildings in the city are still recognizable at a glance even if they are so many times smaller.
Dantu is afraid that the Xilin people will really be unfavorable to the people in the city, the technology of the two sides is too different, once the war starts, even if they can win in the end, they will pay a heavy price, and those who become cannon fodder must be those relatively isolated people living at the bottom of the city. For example, Dantu is like this, such as Grandpa An, the lonely old man next door.
Nikki reacted when she saw Dantu. Smiled, "We don't have much interest in this city, we just want to find someone in the city, this person is hiding in your city." And he has the same technology as we do, he made us here, otherwise we wouldn't have paid attention to this tinkling little planet in the middle of the empire. ”
Hearing Niqi's words, Dantu was a little relieved, but Dantu was also curious about the person in Niqi's words, what kind of person would lurk in their city to do such a thing? At the same time, Dantu also has some understanding of Niqi's purpose.
"I don't know the guy you're talking about, and I haven't heard of anyone in the city with a high level of technology." Dantu said.
"I didn't expect you to know." Nikki gestured to the city-wide projection spinning on the table, "We'll find it ourselves, but I hope you can do us a favor." ”
"What's the busy?"
"We need to borrow where you live." Nicky stopped the swirling image. Move to Dantu.
Dantu pursed his lips, and after being silent for a while, he glanced at a few people around him: "Will you hurt the people in the city?" ”
Hearing this, Sedier sneered, "Boy. We're not begging you, we can find another solution without your help, but that would hurt the rest of the city. You don't want your fellow citizens to be harmed, do you? Hurry, we don't have that much patience. There's a cunning fox hiding in the city waiting for us to catch it. ”
"Rest assured, we are not executioners. They will not kill innocents indiscriminately. As for the people he met at that time, if they were not "innocent", it would be no wonder that they had to be cautious when it came to the matter of black vipers, otherwise they would be the ones who died.
After a moment's hesitation, Dantu stepped forward and pointed to the place where he lived on the image of the whole city, which was a poor area in the city, and most of them were lonely and widowed people. Dantu lives in a six-storey metal building, where each household has a small residential area, the largest is only about 30 square meters, and Dantu's accommodation area is only about 10 square meters, which is not even a third of their control room.
Rent is a big problem. Dantu they can only afford the rent there, and if it is more upscale, stronger and more well-guarded, the rent is sky-high for them.
Dantu said his exact residence, and then the monitor hidden in the city also quietly flew towards that side, and it didn't take long to arrive at the accommodation building that Dantu said, clearly reflecting the situation of the entire residence building.
The neighbor to the left of Dantu's house was drying dried meat, talking to some other people standing in the hallway, and the conversation was clearly audible here.
As for the neighbor on the right side of Dantu's house, the door was closed, and he didn't know what kind of person it was, but Xilin could see from Dantu's eyes that the people who lived there were very important to him, and Dantu didn't care about the other people who appeared on the influence, but at the moment when the video showed it, Dantu didn't look at his own house first, but the neighbor's house on the right.
The good thing is that there aren't many patrols there, because it's a slum, so the patrols don't appear very often, they are more often around high-end residential areas to keep the people there safe and prevent the occasional flying beasts from attacking them.
After investigating the situation there, Niki stopped asking Dantu questions, but looked at Chirafang and Sediya to study the so-called high-end residential area in the city. They need to wait a little longer until it gets completely dark. Because of the environment here, people in the city basically don't go out at night, and only patrols will walk through the city.
No one paid attention to Dantu, but Dantu didn't run away either, because he knew that in front of these people, he had no chance of escaping.
Whew-
A model of a flying car flies in from outside, and on the flying car stands a cat with a box in its mouth.
Seeing the gray cat, Dantu reflexively wants to dodge, but is attracted by the speeding car model. The difference in technology made Dantu very curious about such flying objects.
The gray cat flew in front of Xilin with the flying car model and put the box down: "Xilin, assemble this too!" ”
Inside the box was one of the side prizes of Sillin's participation in the Flying Race, which was one of two models of flying cars made by Fleka in the style of a vegetable cake, and the other was in Nayimi's hand. Although it is impossible to have the complex and diverse internal structure of "Caibi", it is used as a toy model. This is already quite extravagant. Just such a small toy model is enough to buy a flying car that is about the same. Except, of course, for luxury and racing cars.
Anyway, there was still some time before the action, so Cillin took the box over. Sit down on the spot and start assembling this flying car model.
The gray cat lay on the model of the flying car and flicked its tail to watch, and from time to time proudly glanced at Ruble and Amadeiro lying on the other side of the control room, and was so angry that Ruble and Amadeiro gritted their teeth: There are great toys!
Dantu was very curious about the thing that flew back, this should be the flying car on TV, although the appearance looks a little different, but they are all similar, I didn't expect there to be such a small toy.
Dantu wanted to get closer and see the assembly of Xilin. But he was very jealous of the gray cat there, and after wandering, in the end, curiosity overcame fear, and he moved there step by step. The gray cat just looked at him for a moment and ignored it. Dantu breathed a sigh of relief.
Xilin's assembly speed is not fast, but it is very rhythmic and skilled, and every part can be assembled precisely in place, Dantu looked at the round cake-like thing that was gradually forming in Xilin's hand. Getting more and more fascinated, it felt like there was a whirlpool that drew all his attention to it, and he himself was happy to delve into it.
"Do you have your own flying car?" Cillin asked. The sound is relatively low and gentle.
Dantu's eyes kept staring at the model that was gradually taking shape in Xilin's hand step by step, and shook his head.
"I'm assembling a model of a flying car. This kind of flying car was spurned for a long time, but after a race. Everyone's opinion of it has changed......" Cilin recounted something as he assembled it. Then asked, "What would you do if you had a flying car?" ”
Dantu's expression was puzzled, and then he began to think, "I will take Grandpa An to fly around the city and let him see the current development of the city, the city has doubled in size and built a lot of new places." ”
"Grandpa An?"
"Well, if it weren't for Grandpa An, I wouldn't have been able to live until now."
Dantu's mother was gone early, and his father went out hunting when he was seven years old and never returned, less than a fifth of the party's expeditions made it back to the city alive because they encountered the Garasmon, the more apex species of clawed beasts. Dantu alone has no ability to hunt at all, and the people around him did not help him, because there are too many such examples in this city, so many that everyone is numb, when Dantu is about to starve to death, he rarely goes out next to him, and Grandpa An, who is not very familiar with everyone on weekdays, gives him food. Grandpa An's savings are still left by his children, but after the children are gone, the old man seems to be silent a lot, basically does not go out, and because of his physical disability, he has been sitting in a wheelchair and has no one to take care of him.
Several people in the control room listened to Dantu's words, Chi Rafang and Sediye glanced at each other, if they guessed correctly, Xilin performed hypnotism on Dantu's little guy! Otherwise, how could this vigilant little guy say so much?
Speaking of what happened after meeting Grandpa An, Dantu's expression softened a lot, but as he spoke, when he mentioned that Xilin and they were going to enter the city to borrow Dantu's residence, Dantu's face became distorted, as if he was resisting something, and large drops of sweat rolled down from his forehead, and then Dantu suddenly raised his head to look at Xilin, and the anger and madness in his eyes made Xilin feel that the next moment this little guy would swing a knife at him.
"What did you do to me?!" Dantu snorted and panted, his five fingers clenched into fists but trembling uncontrollably, he had just said too much, and if he said too much, he would lose it!
Sirin smiled, assembled the last part, and handed it to the gray cat to play with.
"Good willpower." Xilin commented.
"You...... You can't hurt Grandpa An, you can't! Dantu yelled at Cillin.
"I didn't say I was going to hurt him." Xilin stood up and patted his leg, then walked to the control room, took two steps and stopped, turned back to Dantu and said: "You just laughed when you told you about that Grandpa An, someone told me that blinking when you smile means that you really think of happy things." ”
Dantu's clenched fist loosened, then clenched again.
Indeed, for a while, Dantu felt very happy, although he was already a veritable orphan at that time, but there was also Grandpa An next to him, the old man who always sat in a wheelchair with a peaceful face and told Dantu some stories that he had not heard, and taught him how to hunt. How to protect your elderly.
Dantu's wish is that one day he can hunt enough things to exchange for enough currency in the city, and then take Grandpa An next door and live with him in those stronger and more spacious high-rise buildings like fortresses, and live a better life......
Before it was completely dark, the last hunting party to leave the city returned to the city. It was the hunting party that Dantu was in.
The hunting team did not wait for Dantu within the specified time, and Dantu's communicator could not be contacted, so according to previous experience, Dantu either encountered an accident or did not know where to get lost. Either case is an outcome, as in both cases, the odds of surviving on a single player tend to be close to zero. What's more, Dantu is only a fifteen-year-old boy, even though he has nearly five years of hunting experience. But there are many aspects that are still lacking, and they are not as good as experienced hunters.
Until they were ready to return to the city and still couldn't contact Dantu, the people of the hunting team gave up waiting and returned to the city with the results of today's hunting.
But. When his hunting party entered the city gates, no one noticed a single person lurking among the pile of hunted Crow corpses. And where the hunting party armored car was not noticeable, there was a small protrusion.
"Very well, Xilin has successfully entered." Inside the aircraft, Niqi said as she looked at the image of the signal sent back from the transmitter installed on Xilin's body.
Behind Nikki. Both Ruble and Amadeiro stayed in the control room and did not go out like the others. Dantu sat quietly to the side, nervously watching the actions of these aliens.
Not far outside the city, Sediye and Chirafang lurked around. Only Sirin and White Night entered the city. The team that was lurking in front of Xilin entered the city, and the target of White Night was the city lord's side. And Xilin went to Dantu's residence first, and everyone acted separately.
The equipment in the city is relatively backward. So White Night and Xilin were not detected at all, and as for the gray cat, they were even more undetectable.
After Xilin entered the city, he found an opportunity to break away from this hunting party, found a hidden place to hide, and waited for the night.
After it was completely dark and everyone was hiding in the house, Sirin sneaked towards Dantu's house.
Most of the people in the city are quite experienced hunters, and for hunters, they are quite sensitive to crises and changes in their surroundings, and many of them cannot be disguised by technology. So in the city, Xilin and White Night are very cautious.
The layout of the entire city has been deeply imprinted in Xilin's mind, so soon Xilin came to the building where Dantu lived.
With Cillin's hearing, he could hear several families talking about Dantu. Today, the people from the hunting team brought the news that Dantu did not follow back to the city, and in the eyes of these people, Dantu will definitely not be able to come back. However, from their tones, it can be heard that these people are just using Dantu's matter as a topic to kill time after cooking, without much sympathy or regret.
Because of numbness, so indifferent, the relationship between people here is like this city is full of metal cold light, social relations in a special environment, no one will accuse who is right and who is wrong, here, the living are always right.
Xilin came to Dantu's residential floor, now that no one in the building will stay outside, there will always be some unknown dangers lurking in the night, and it is safe for people here to hide at home at night.
When passing by Dantu's grandfather's house, Xilin paused, glanced at the house with the door closed and no light leaking, and then stood in front of Dantu's house, took out the key given by Dantu and opened the door, but the moment the door was opened, Xilin felt that there were people in the house.
In the aircraft, the picture displayed on the screen in front of Niqi began to be intermittent, and then completely disconnected, and the received signal was interfered with, electromagnetic interference signal! How can there be electromagnetic interference at such a technical level there?!
That guy is right there!
This was the first thing that came to Niqi's mind, and she quickly contacted Bai Ye and Chi Rafang and Sediye outside the city.
Cillin was highly alert when he noticed someone in the house, dodged the oncoming wind, blocked the opponent's fists and feet, leaned back sideways, pointed his fingers and bounced off the ground, and pulled out a long knife with his other hand and pointed at the other party.
The picture transmitted to the aircraft by Xilin was only disconnected for a while, and the electromagnetic interference under the influence of the gray cat was eliminated, and the picture was restored.
There was no light in the room, but Xilin could see the person on the other side clearly with the faint light coming in from outside, and the aircraft could also see the figure standing opposite Xilin clearly through the night vision filter.
After seeing this person, the biggest reaction was not Niqi and the others, but Dantu.
Dantu got up from his chair excitedly, his eyes full of disbelief, "Impossible! How could it be her...... She's not already ......"
"That woman is a little familiar." After seeing the picture that Niki passed to them, Chi Rafang, who was staying somewhere outside the city, said.
Nikki shook her head, "Not impressed. ”
"I saw it not long ago, and although I haven't spoken, I remember that this woman was the one who participated in the same speed race as the boy from Xilin." Sedier looked at the image and said.
Dantu's house.
The person opposite Xilin did not continue to attack, in fact, she did not show killing intent just now, and because of this, Xilin did not kill him, otherwise he would have been slashed down with a knife.
Cillin pointed the tip of his knife at the person in front of him. To be honest, he didn't expect to meet this person here.
"See you again, Akio."! ~!
