Chapter Seventy-Two: Abnormal Circumstances
As the cat drove farther and farther out of the ground, it gradually lost sight of the torrent of steel.
Jiang Bai retracted his gaze and sat in the co-pilot.
Looking out the window at the gloomy environment, a mood called loneliness suddenly arises.
"Is this everywhere in the world?"
The flower cat shook her head.
"I don't know...... We haven't been to any other city, not even outside the wilderness of the Third Ring Road. ”
The Three-Ring Wilderness is just a security cordon for the city.
Anything that happens within this range can easily have a direct impact on the city itself.
As far away, the danger is immeasurable, and people in the city can't manage that far.
After all, this is no longer the time when humans dominate the world.
"There should be communication between the officials, right?"
"Yes! But that's not something we can know. ”
"Do you want to see another city?"
The cat's eyes flashed.
"If you have the chance...... Absolutely. I heard that city 13 is near the equator, where there is still natural sunlight......"
Sunshine, equator?
As soon as he thought of this, Jiang Bai's mind came to the sunny beach of the past era.
Sea breeze......
Sunlight......
Sand beach......
Bikini......
Cough~
The task of the second ring is much simpler, and it only needs to close at least 2 anomalies.
But the rewards are also much less, only a measly 1000.
The risk is small, the task is light, and the reward is directly cut in half, which is very reasonable.
It took only half an hour for the car to drive out, and it probably arrived at the area of the second ring road.
The cat drove slowly as the parrot began to scan the anomalous gaps in space with the instruments distributed by the mission center.
From time to time, some small beasts ran outside the window, swimming among the ruins of the city.
Obviously, including the city today and the current wilderness of the first, second and third rings, are the relics left by a large city in the past.
Jiang Bai also didn't know how many years after the death of his past self that had happened after the cataclysm that separated the new era from his past era.
The Cataclysm severed much of the legacy of his time.
The last of humanity's energy is all about working together to build a shelter like City 26, and it's hard to keep track of anything more.
Fortunately, the psychic network of all human beings' scattered consciousness still has some memories of the past.
This magical sea of spirit is the key to Jiang Bai's resurrection.
When I have time, I need to understand this mental network.
Such a thought rose in Jiang Bai's heart.
At this moment, a slight beep sounded from the instrument in the parrot's hand.
The parrot looked overjoyed.
"There it is."
However, another beep sounded.
This time the beep is softer, obviously a little farther away.
"Where are you going?"
The parrot didn't say a word, and directly projected the search screen of the instrument onto the window glass in front of the cat.
Translucent electronic images do not completely obscure the cat's view.
Looking at the image in front of him, which looked like a radar scan, Hua Mao noted the direction and closed the front window.
As the cat approached the outlier that had first discovered the nearest anomaly, their team felt as if they had broken into the outlier's nest.
From time to time, the instrument in the parrot's hand emitted a slight beep, indicating the discovery of a new anomaly.
When I found the first three or four, everyone was still happy and felt lucky.
With the discovery of the seventh and eighth spatial anomalies, everyone's faces turned gloomy.
Jiang Bai is not proficient in the business of cleaning tasks, but he also knows that this situation is by no means a normal phenomenon.
"What's going on?"
Explosive Tiger explained in a deep voice.
"It is impossible for the second ring to have such a dense outlier, and in fact the third ring is not likely to appear. Usually such a dense number of anomalies means only one thing - the anomalies here are about to be connected into a portal. Anything that can come through a portal is usually not easy to mess with, at least we are definitely not opponents. ”
While speaking, the flower cat also stopped with a foot on the brake.
"Still going?"
At this moment, it has reached the range of the first anomaly, and the accuracy range of the anomaly monitors cooperated by the base on a large scale is limited, and the rest needs to be searched by them in person.
Explosive Tiger's eyes condensed slightly, staring at the ground in the carriage.
After a moment, he raised his head and said.
"Get out of the car to investigate the situation, if there are no monsters that are too tricky, destroy all the anomalies."
Destroying as many spatial anomalies as possible is a common interest for both mercenaries and the base city.
Whether out of a sense of responsibility to protect the city or a bounty for destroying additional anomalies, most mercenary teams in this situation will choose to do so.
"Yes!"
After the Tiger Explosion decided, the people in the zoo team didn't have any opinions.
And it's super fast.
The cat took off her seat belt and looked at Jiang Bai when she pushed the car door.
"Why don't you stay in the car?"
Jiang Bai shook his head.
"I'll follow you."
The flower cat tilted its head noncommittally.
"Whatever you want."
Wearing a tactical vest and getting out of the car, she caught the two submachine guns thrown by the leopard and hung them on her body.
The parrot began to arrange the drone for high-altitude reconnaissance as soon as it got out of the car.
The leopard moved his massive externally powered robotic arm a few times, then steadily pinched the heavy machine gun, which was half a man's length.
The Black Hawk leaned against the body of the car and observed its surroundings as he pinched the fusiform bullets and began to recharge.
The blue-glowing psionic bullets were inserted into his belt by him.
The psionic energy on the Psionic Bullet needs to be charged and fired, making it difficult to store for a long time.
The bullet itself is just a carrier made of special materials, and the core lethality is psionic energy itself.
The group was ready.
"Click~"
After the crisp sound of loading, Jiang Bai held the cold silver fox.
Now......
It is a large area of ruins of buildings that are no more than four or five stories high.
Compared to the Third Ring Wilderness, the Second Ring Wilderness is much quieter.
Therefore, those large and small rocks that roll down from time to time due to natural reasons or biological activities are particularly eye-catching.
Jiang Bai's nerves were tense.
This is the wilderness.
There are monsters in this.
It's dead, but it's going to be dead.
The wisdom of the gaze was working at full strength, Jiang Bai's attention was concentrated to the extreme, and all the changes around him came into view.
"Hmm~"
The sound of the valves closing came from behind them, and their car temporarily closed the interior space, falling completely silent like a stone.
"Follow me."
The leopard approached Jiang Bai, and the silver-black mechanical left hand that did not hold a heavy machine gun was covered in front of Jiang Bai.
The majestic and cold mechanical arm never seemed to feel so safe for a moment.
However, Jiang Bai still gently pushed his left hand away.
With the wisdom of his gaze working at full strength, his mind was equally calm...... Or rather, cold.
You can't hold back the cooperation of the zoo team because of your own existence, otherwise it will be irresponsible to the entire team.
"I'll take care of myself, it'll be fine."
The parrot leaned over at this time and handed Jiang Bai a pair of flat glasses.
At this time, the parrot has a calm face, and it does not return to the usual sand sculpture.
It seems that this is what he really is.
"Strictly speaking, this is the first time we've fought side by side, and I don't know where you fit in the team, so help me observe the battlefield first."
Jiang Bai put on his glasses.
In the lens of the right eye, a picture detected by a drone suddenly appeared-
With the position of the six people rising rapidly, all the surrounding scenery within a thousand meters appeared in front of Jiang Bai's eyes.
Within a radius of 1 kilometer, there was silence......
