The light bulb on the ceiling flickered a few times, but finally it came on reluctantly, not very brightly, but at least it illuminated the whole room, including the cobwebs in the corners. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Yu stared at the room a little surprised: "How long has it been since they cleaned the room?" It's worse than the small inn I used to find when I traveled with my classmates. ”

"I guess it was cleaned before the last guest left, I guess it's been at least two months." Christine said as she threw her backpack onto the bed, which trembled slightly, and Zhao Yu swore that dust was flying.

They had just stayed at Bodwell's only hotel, a motel that was at least two hundred years behind its time, with two floors and less than ten rooms combined, but not a single traveler now. The proprietor and waiter, an old man who looked to be over eighty years old, was very stubborn in taking cash instead of cards, and finally Christine pulled out a handful of old bills to pay the bill, much to the embarrassment of the Krauss, promising them to sleep until ten o'clock the next day.

"Where did you get all that cash?" Zhao Yu asked secretly.

Christine looked taken for granted: "Of course I've been preparing for a long time, don't you know that swiping a card is easy to expose the location?" We are now wanted criminals and must be careful to keep it secret at all times. ”

“…… You're the only one wanted! ”

In order to show the identity of "lovers", of course, the two asked for a double room on the second floor, but Zhao Yu and Christine did not have any twisted emotions about this: in the guard team with a shortage of soldiers, it is not uncommon for male and female soldiers to sleep together.

Zhao Yu looked out the window, and it was already completely dark, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Darkness meant a temporary truce, and only soldiers with special missions would rush at night, and the several times they had been killed from the Seventh War Zone had been considered a fatal walk. The Buttermins suppression particles are not just words, enough to envelop the earth for a hundred years of volcanic ash and dust to be concentrated and suppressed over the North American continent without polluting the global climate and the local ground environment, this kind of thing is not believed to have side effects, and so far, this side effect is within the acceptable range.

The most affected are all kinds of airlines, and there is a 40 percent chance of accidents when flying over the North American continent, and the probability rises to 60 percent if it is at night -- this will directly destroy the entire North American related aviation industry, and even the WPA's assistance to the West Coast Republic can only be transported by sea from Hawaii, and now those who have the courage to fly over the North American continent are only some unmanned things.

The second thing that is affected is all kinds of machinery and equipment, especially in the field that is seriously affected by Bad Mings technology, the function drops by more than 50% at night, and if it is in the field, it may drop even more, which is also an important reason why the Krauss are reluctant to drive at night.

The third most affected is the wireless network. Zhao Yu, as a person more than a hundred years ago, was able to adapt quickly on the battlefield, because the war on the North American continent was very close to the war mode of his time because of technological limitations and degradation, and it was even slightly backward......

With almost a sigh of emotion, Zhao Yu turned around and found that Christine had already taken out the computer, sat cross-legged on the bed and began to toss.

"What are you doing?"

"Plan tomorrow's trip." Christine didn't look up, "I bet San Francisco has already received my information, and I don't want to be taken away by the gendarmerie as soon as I enter the city." ”

"You're just a deserter...... Zhao Yu said here and looked at the Latin girl's computer, "Well, it's not an ordinary deserter. What are you going to do? ”

"This car must be targeted, so I will make a back door first, and when the car is about to arrive in San Francisco, I will invade the military system through the wireless network and change my location display," Christine raised his head and looked at Zhao Yu with a pitiful look, "Then I can only rely on you, we will go to the relevant departments of the WPA to apply for asylum......"

Half of Zhao Yu's face twitched: "Be serious!" What exactly is the plan? ”

"Cut, boring." Christine rolled her eyes, "Okay, I was telling the truth, but when I hack into the system, it's not just the location that shows ......"

"Don't make too much of a mess, the Alliance will come in at any moment."

"Don't worry, I'm measured, it's just a change to some personal information." Christine snapped her fingers proudly, "I hacked into the Sixth Theater Command back then, watched the Battle of Denver throughout the whole process, and temporarily modified the authority of the two armored regiments to give them a chance to break through......"

“…… I kind of know why they had to catch you. Zhao Yu decided not to continue to discuss technical issues with Christine, this girl is not very old, but her life experience is too exciting, and it is easy to make people feel unconfident.

But what's next? The furnishings in the house were too shabby, and he couldn't find a new topic when he looked at it, so he could only look up at the ceiling: "I said, this house is too retro, it's too tattered, even the style is similar to what I was back then, is this deliberate?" ”

Christine looked up, and finally just shrugged: "I don't know much about this, maybe it was built by the old man downstairs?" Maybe his interest is the old way? ”

"Okay, it's possible for you to say that, but this style gives me a terrible feeling, like the kind of scene commonly used in cheap horror movies......" Zhao Yu said and pointed to the chandelier, "For example, there is a camera in the lampshade, behind the portrait on the wall is a secret passage for voyeurism, there is a bugging device in the vase, and there is a corpse hidden under the bed......"

"Stop!" Christine finally couldn't help but exclaim, "What was your previous hobby?" ”

"Before I got sick, I was exercising and traveling, but after I got sick, I ...... Zhao Yu shrugged, "At first, I was reading books, but then I couldn't turn the pages of the book, so I installed a software that can be controlled by my eyes, watching movies on the computer, reading e-books or something...... For the last two years, I was just lying in bed and moving my eyes. ”

"Your life is harder than I thought...... Christine looked at him sympathetically, "I understand why you have always had a crush on aliens, and you are grateful to them for being rescued from this hellish life, right?" ”

“…… Am I acting obviously? ”

"Along the way, we talked about aliens, but you never cursed them, not even 'aliens'." Christine replied, "Sergeant Borg has complained about you in private several times. ”

"Aha......" Zhao Yu didn't expect that he had already been seen through, and he was also a little embarrassed, "No way, it's been less than a year since I woke up, you know, for hatred ...... such a thing"

"I don't mean to complain about you, in fact, many people know that at this point, the earthlings themselves have bigger problems, but no one wants to admit it." Christine jumped out of bed and walked to the table next to her with a depressed expression, "Oh shit, I was scared by the horror movie plot you just said...... I can't sleep without checking it out. ”

"Hey, I'm just giving an example, don't be serious."

"I know." Christine held up the vase and shook it, "But I'm a bit obsessive-compulsive, and the more I think about not being serious, the more I care." ”

Zhao Yu sighed, and also lifted the mattress: "Look, it's solid down here, it's impossible to hide the dead...... Hey, you're going to check the chandelier? ”

"You killed me." Christine brought a chair and stepped on it without taking off her shoes, but even then she was still a little far from reaching the chandelier, Zhao Yu watched speechlessly as she stood on tiptoe and tried to grasp the chandelier with both hands - well, the T-shirt is a little short, and her navel is exposed, do you want to remind me? But she's in really good shape, look at this waist......

"Zhao Yu, why don't you come!" Of course, Christine didn't know that Zhao Yu was secretly scanning with his gaze next to him, and after trying a few times, he gave up in frustration, "How much taller are you than me?" Five centimeters? ”

Zhao Yu smiled bitterly and turned over the portrait on the wall: "I think forget it, it's all movie jokes from more than a hundred years ago......"

"But......" Christine was about to retort two sentences, when suddenly his eyes widened and he pointed at Zhao Yu, "What is that?" ”

"Huh? What are you talking about? ”

"That picture ......," Christine stammered a little, "that painting has a word written on the back!" ”

Zhao Yu didn't expect this kind of hidden plot at all, and looked down in amazement, yes, there were a few lines of scribbled words written on the back of the portrait, and it seemed that the person who wrote was in a hurry.

Christine had already jumped out of her chair and rushed over in three or two steps: "What is written?" ”

The meaning of the word is very simple and easy to understand - "No matter who you are, run away when you see the message!" The people in this town are crazy! Don't stay overnight here!! ”

Zhao Yu raised his head and looked at Christine, and for a while neither of them knew what to say.

After about a minute, Zhao Yu coughed: "What do you think?" ”

"I don't know......" Christine was clearly really frightened by the words, "what about you?" What do you say in those horror movies? ”

Zhao Yu scratched his head: "Normally, to avoid the horror that happens next, the best choice is to flash people immediately, get into Mrs. Claus's car and escape from this town, the farther away the better...... Although I don't think the couple would agree with us going crazy like this. ”

Christine still stared at him: "I think...... You still have something to say. ”

"Is it obvious?" Zhao Yu touched his face, "Okay, I didn't want to scare you - generally, this kind of thing can only be done before the truth is discovered, and now ......"

He shook the portrait in his hand: "We have already found that something is wrong, according to the rhythm of horror movies, the main drama is about to be staged......"

Christine took a few deep breaths: "What will happen?" ”

"Zombies, ghosts, perverted murderers who can't be killed...... I don't know what the script looks like. Zhao Yu sighed, "I said, do you really want to take this message seriously?" Regardless of whether it's true or not, we don't even know when the message was left, maybe it's been several years? Do you believe that the old waiter is also crazy? ”

Christine finally turned her gaze away from Zhao Yu's face and looked out the window: "I don't know if it's true, but I feel that something is wrong with this town now." ”

Zhao Yu was about to say something more to comfort his companion, but his face suddenly changed.

It was a familiar hunch.

Then he smiled wryly: "I just suddenly felt that something was wrong here. ”
