Chapter 28. There is no such thing as a world of source stones
"The radius of the city is no more than 30 kilometers, and according to the normal speed, it only takes two or three hours to get out of the city smoothly, and the assessment content should be more than that."
Zhou Jinru pulled his hands apart, the map zoomed in front of him, and he could observe the reserve group operators assembling on the ground from above.
There is no doubt that this is a deserted city, with little to no living creature to be seen except for the plants that grow wildly, but there is definitely more to the threat hidden within than can be seen on the surface.
Zhou Jinru, who has had experience in a ruined city, immediately thought of those terrible robots, and now it's up to him to see how to solve the problem.
Jian Lei rubbed his forehead and walked from behind, she was not at all used to the dream world, and on the contrary was Doberman, who was holding the guardrail with both hands and a relaxed expression.
Zhou Jinru asked curiously: "Instructor Dubin, are you not worried at all?" ”
"No, I don't worry about whether they will pass the assessment, and those who can't pass will be educated by the love that I have carefully prepared."
Hiss.
Zhou Jinru secretly took a breath of cool air, this is okay, he can imagine what a terrible scene it is, even Amiya beside him unconsciously leaned towards the doctor.
"Actually, it's nothing, I bought a few new whips of different styles."
At this point, Doberman turned his face and smiled at Zhou Jinru, obviously a very friendly smile, in the doctor's opinion, it was undoubtedly the devil showing his hideous fangs.
The frightened Amiya clutched his sleeve tightly and said in a trembling voice: "Instructor Dubin, please don't add a new burden to the medical team operators, even if it is psychological intervention treatment. ”
However, the Prep Operatives who are venturing through the city are unaware of the love from the instructors.
Dressed in a full combat uniform, Melansha pulled out her long sword, and the sharp blade stabbed into the door of an abandoned car, easily cutting a gap.
Click.
The rusty door was folded in half, and Stewart got inside, reached out and touched the driver's seat a few times, shaking his head with an ugly face, they had already found several cars, none of which worked.
"Miss Zilan, how is your situation over there?"
"The airblast hasn't come back yet, maybe she'll find out."
Little Popka carried the chainsaw and said hard, "I'll protect everyone." ”
Cross said uneasily, "I think we should get out of this place first, I always feel that something is wrong. ”
Finn and Anderchel, who were in charge of the reconnaissance, hurried back, and it just so happened that Tsukimi and Kati also arrived at the temporary base.
The four men put together four provisional maps to piece together a map of the area that could barely be used as a reference.
Anderchel raised his head, his gaze swept over the faces of everyone present, and pointed to the center: "I found a small supermarket in this place, and I found something. ”
He took out a bag of snacks from the collection bag, judging by the packaging, it was supposed to be puffed food, but no one recognized the words on it, and then he took out the second and third bags.
Migrew said softly, "The production dates are similar. ”
"Yes, it means that there was a huge flow of people here, at least it was also a commercial street,"
Yan Rong was puzzled: "Wait, do you know the words on it?" ”
The person who answered her was Fleur: "Do you remember those snacks you bought, whether it is Yanguo or Victoria, the simplified numbers are similar, even if there are unknown letters, as long as there are enough samples involved in the comparison, you can get a vague answer." ”
More than just snacks, Anderchel pulled out what resembled a desk calendar, adding: "I found a reference here, and the production date was only two months after the calendar was last turned over. ”
"When?"
"Mid-February."
"What time is it?"
"Based on the degree of corrosion of some items, I speculate that it will be at least three years or more."
Melansha seemed to realize something, and exclaimed softly, "Ansel! ”
"At present, the outdoor temperature is 21°C, the southeast wind, and the humidity is high......"
When he said this, he obviously hesitated for a moment before he continued: "It may be that the equipment is malfunctioning, and I did not detect the concentration of source stone particles in the air. ”
"Not detected?"
At this time, Airblast and Steward returned, and their presence meant that all the reserve team members were all here.
The air explosion looked serious, and changed from the previous jump: "No anomalies have been found, except for some small animals, no signs of large creatures have been observed at present." ”
All the information came together, and almost all the Reserve Operatives were shocked and incredulous, this was an empty city, and it had been abandoned for years, and no intelligent beings had set foot on it.
"We're going to have to think about how to get out of here, and the quest tip is to get out of the city, and I don't think it's that simple."
Suddenly, everyone turned to the end of the road, and saw a large herd of deer jumping and running towards them, and these creatures seemed to have taken on the role of masters in the days when the city had lost its owner, and it was as if it were their own garden, coming and going like the wind.
Migru whispered, "Cross! ”
Before he could finish speaking, the crossbow arrow was already fired, and the sharp arrow pierced the eye of an adult deer, breaking through the skull and spilling a large amount of blood from the wound.
The attack alarmed the deer, who scattered and fled at a faster pace, leaving behind their dead companions and running away without a trace.
Fleur and Ansel run together to the carcass of the deer, methodically maneuvering with the tools at hand, and soon come to another astonishing conclusion.
"No source stone particles were found in the blood of this deer."
"Could it be that there is a problem with the test strip?"
Ansel slashed his finger with a bright silver knife, leaving a streak of blood on the other test strip, showing the opposite color.
He couldn't understand what was going on in this world, and said astringently: "There is no problem with the sensitivity of the test strip, even if I am not infected, it can still work, which only shows ......"
"It means that we are in a world without source stones."
On the other side, Jian Lei stared at the experiments of the reserve group operators in disbelief, and said blankly: "Is there really such a world?" ”
Zhou Jinru said lightly: "Why don't you believe it, maybe this is our future." ”
In his field of vision, the line written on the enlarged snack bag could not be clearer, which translates to mean "production date January 12, 2020", and the date on the calendar is stuck on April 2, 2020.
The remaining letters on the shop signs he could see were all in English, and even half a Chinese character on one of the rusted advertisements.
It was his world, at least, the world he knew.
