"They're out of touch."

About an hour after Zhang Liang entered the general data room, Yang Chang suddenly appeared behind him and spit out such a sentence like a ghost.

Zhang Liang raised his head with a cigarette in his mouth, took his eyes off the query screen in front of him, and surrendered his puzzled gaze to Yang Chang.

"What?"

"Lost contact, those armed personnel who went out to see the situation before, all lost contact."

"There's no way to get in touch, is there?"

After hearing this, Yang Chang inexplicably wanted to press Zhang Liang there and beat him up, this attitude was really easy to make people angry.

He forcibly suppressed his anger and explained: "The previous arrangement, they should return in half an hour, regardless of whether they have gained or not, they must come back, but now there is no news at all." ”

Zhang Liang turned around, threw the cigarette that had turned into a cigarette butt into the trash can on the side, and then pressed the start button of the cleaning system on the side.

A powerful exhaust system is put into operation, quickly purifying the air in the data room.

"Why are you telling me this?" , Zhang Liang looked at the half-empty cigarette box on the side and asked.

"Uncle Wang wants to remind you that the breakthrough on your side will be crucial."

Yang Chang's face is not very good-looking, the interior of the innovation base has always been very harmonious, this atmosphere has been very natural in their brains since everyone joined here, naturally, such a situation can also be explained by the word "brainwashing", which makes everyone unusually conscious and willing when serving the organization, but at this time, the sudden pressure like a military order makes Yang Chang feel very uncomfortable.

Zhang Liang touched his chin, felt out his terminal, and handed it to Yang Chang: "Pass me the order document over there, and then you can get out...... Also, don't let those who fight come over, I'm very annoyed right now. ”

Yang Chang did not doubt at all that Zhang Liang could say such unreasonable and rude words with a calm face, which was an extremely common situation.

"You're busy all by yourself?"

"Plus they can't keep it busy." , Zhang Liang rolled his eyes, he stood up, picked up a cup of hot water placed next to him, took a sip and said: "They don't understand the situation, they can only help, if they can't even catch up with the speed of intelligent search, plus they are also in vain." ”

After giving an explanation that was not an explanation, Zhang Liang hurriedly let Yang Chang leave the data room, and the young man walked to the door in a daze, and glanced at the three people standing outside—their faces were equally embarrassed.

"Alright, let's go back to my original post." , Yang Chang shrugged his shoulders and said.

One of the female staff members frowned, the door of the data room was open just now, so they all heard the conversation between Zhang Liang and Yang Chang.

"I don't think it's reliable to let him do this." , She said to Yang Chang, turned around and was about to walk into the data room, but in the next second, the indicator light in the data room flashed twice, and then turned off directly.

Zhang Liang removed his fingers from the button that forced the door to close and sat back in his original position.

He was the only one in the huge data room, and only one query in front of him was running on the screen.

With such a huge amount of data, Zhang Liang alone must not be able to go through it in a short period of time, he still has a certain choice, he called all the copies and materials related to "Mobius Ring", "Reincarnation", and "Cycle", and found that there were 195 copies of related materials, and 84 characters in the "edge" involved, and a total of 29380 pieces of information involving these sub-items, and there were so many characters that he was crazy.

"!"

He rubbed his temples and leaned back in his chair.

At this time, it is stupid to refuse the help of others, especially since Zhang Liang acted like a willful death before, but there is no way to do it.

A person who does scientific research always relies heavily on data, but Zhang Liang has a much more trust in his own intuition, especially after he found the "doll" that once appeared, and completely dispelled the idea of involving the rest of the people in a short period of time.

This kind of approach looks stupid, but Zhang Liang doesn't have any remorse, there are no stupid people in the innovation base, his actions like this are simply issuing a military order, and it is also a death-level military order, Zhang Liang knows that he must give a relatively clear answer in a short time, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

There is not much time left for him, and it can even be said that it is quite limited and constrained, Zhang Liang must at least provide a "reasonable" reason in a short period of time, so that he can get control of the whole thing.

He didn't know much about it, but it weighed so much that there were things that even the insiders of the Revolution Frontier and the Real Front couldn't know.

As he mentioned in his previous conversation with Uncle Wang, even if these things are going to happen, they shouldn't happen at this point in time, they can only happen at a later or more distant point in time, and if there is an accident at this time, it can only mean that the whole plan itself is wrong.

A clear reminder sound came from the terminal, Zhang Liang turned on the screen, and spent two minutes reading the stern order, and then burrowed into the pile of data.

The hints extracted from the restored modeling were so clear that Zhang Liang had never seen such a clear hint, and he could even imagine the thoughts of the arrangers behind this hint.

The arranger must have had to use some means to disguise such a hint, so he, or it, went so far as to disguise the whole incident as an obviously offensive and threatening sabotage.

"Since the camouflage is known, it means that the arranger must have understood some communication rules, that is, it can use some things at the data level......"

Zhang Liang sorted out his thoughts, he suddenly realized something, picked up the folder, took out the record paper with "204863" written on it from it, and turned on the data positioning function in the query instrument.

"Please enter your reference number."

Zhang Liang raised his hand and entered this group of numbers, the first 20 represents classification, 4 and 8 represent time positioning, and the last 6 and 3 are extraction codes.

"Just 6 bits."

Zhang Liangqiang endured his excitement and issued a search order, so that the intelligent system began to locate, because now the total system can not operate at full power, so he can only wait for a while, according to the prompts of the system, he will get the result in 1 minute.

Zhang Liang, who was busy, didn't realize that in the depths of the innovation base, in an inconspicuous corner, a trace of dark red luster suddenly spread out from the gap, and began to slowly climb towards the rest of the place, the speed was very slow, but it was indeed moving.

……

At this moment, about 1 kilometer from the entrance to the Innovation Base, two figures cautiously flashed into a convenience store on the side of the road, one of them guarding the surroundings, while the other seemed to be carrying something.

At this time, the city of S has changed its appearance, the previous heavy snow has long stopped, and the snow on the ground has not known when it has melted away, replaced by a dirty and dark road surface, some fragments of corpses and broken objects piled up in the middle of the road, these things have no special shape, they seem to be only composed of flesh, waste and other things.

"No movement."

Gu Yisheng gently closed the door of the convenience store, shook a few corners of the convenience store with a flashlight, and then couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "It's okay for the time being, the walls here are still normal." ”

As she spoke, she walked to the wall and pressed it lightly with her palm: "Yes, it's still solid." ”

Hearing this, Ding Zheng hurriedly put down the "thing" he was carrying on his back, this was actually a person, and it was also a person wearing a combat uniform with a bloody face.

"Unconscious."

Ding Zheng took off the rotten helmet on this man's head and quickly checked his condition.

"Thankfully, his situation isn't as scary as it seems." Ding Zheng said as he took out a bottle of hemostatic spray, he gently brushed the man's hair away, pointed to a blood mark on it and said: "A bullet shattered the mask of the helmet, and then grazed his scalp and shot diagonally upward, only causing flesh wounds, but the amount of blood loss was a bit large." ”

"Shooting?" , Gu Yisheng was puzzled: "He and the other two who died there have the same clothes and weapons, I think they should be companions, but the cause of death of the other two does not seem to be a fight...... Their weapons shouldn't be able to beat the whole person to pieces, right? ”

The place where they found this "survivor" was at the other end of the block, where the two encountered a strange-looking creature, and out of caution they decided to leave with this survivor, also thanks to Ding Zheng's physical fitness, otherwise this distance alone would be enough to drag the two of them to death.

"Let's deal with the injuries first." , Gu Yisheng leaned against the wall and listened to the movement outside, the moment the inner world came, they lost the skills and props they had before, and the weapons that the two of them could use at present were only a few firearms with extremely ordinary attributes.

After listening to it for a while and not noticing any movement, and after confirming that nothing had caught up, Gu Yisheng came to the survivor's side, reached out and rummaged through the clothes on his body: "We should be very close to the destination, this person is likely to be their armed man." ”

"He must have been injured by mistake...... Maybe it's a fire in the chaos? Gu Yisheng fiddled with the damaged helmet and judged.

Ding Zheng shook his head with a bitter face, the equipment couldn't be used, and the mask on his face before was naturally taken off: "This, we can only tell us when he wakes up, do you have a way to confirm the location again?" I really don't want to spend any more time in this environment, it feels too bad. ”
