Chapter 5: The Battle of the Cicada and the Praying Mantis (1)

At the same time, on the other side, the three captains were already on the way to the research institute, and their task was the first thing to be completed, and every second had to be counted.

"I hope it doesn't matter how many of them matter." Wan Ye prayed.

Zou Xiaqi looked at her immature behavior and said: "It's better to take care of yourself now, after all, you may encounter danger here at any time, and the task comes first." ”

Wu Sheng used a folding steel rod on the side to pry open the boulders on the road, beckoning them to move on. "The damage here is so serious, it seems that it was the hardest hit area in the first place, but there is no such thing in the information reported before."

"yes, but I also want to thank Xia Qi for saving me just now." Wan Ye presented a bright smile to Zou Xiaqi. It looks particularly bright in this decaying, dilapidated abandoned research facility.

Zou Xiaqi walked forward embarrassedly: "It's okay." ”

The three of them slipped through the crevice and saw the machine's console. The wires that ran from the console pierced the wall into the glass, revealing that the huge center of operation had been damaged and had fallen a layer of dust, and the ceiling inside the glass looked damaged, and a dull light was shining through, at least illuminating the gray material that was floating inside like snowflakes.

Wu Sheng frowned: "Isn't it, it's already broken?" ”

In the darkness, blue dots of light lurk.

......

Looking ahead, Chaozhe saw that the path to progress had also collapsed, and only some lower pillars and iron bars crisscrossed it in a haphazard manner. "It doesn't look like a normal way to walk."

Twilight chimed in, "Looks like it takes some mountaineering skills. ”

"It's much harder than climbing, it's supposed to be like going deep into a cave."

"Let's do it."

?!

Chao Zhe wrote a surprised expression on her face and looked at Twilight, but she didn't explain to Chao Zhe, she jumped down like a cheetah catching prey, and when she fell, she quickly pulled out the climbing rope to lasso a dead load-bearing pillar, and landed steadily on the pillar, looked back at the stunned Chao Zhe, and said with the communication equipment that came with the headset: "You can do it too, try it boldly." ”

Chaozhe still wanted to be stunned and make some mental preparations, but his legs couldn't help but rush out quickly, making a nimble movement that Yili had never seen before, jumping like a light macaque on these broken buildings.

[The grinding effect of suffering can give the people of the last days unprecedented power.] 】

[This seems to be a kind of evolution, too. 】

Twilight saw Chaozhe's figure, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and then he withdrew his attention and continued to rush down.

After the exciting activity, Twilight waved her hand and patted the dust on her body, attached glasses to her right hand as if checking some information, and nodded in affirmation to Chaozhe, who had also experienced all this. She added: "Looks like we still have plenty of time. ”

Chao Zhe asked her puzzled, "Do we have any extra tasks?" ”

Twilight's eyelids drooped and she whispered, "No, it's just some mystery that I think I have." After she finished speaking, she mustered up her courage and faced Chaozhe, "You'll help me, right?" ”

Chaozhe nodded: "If it were you, I would help." Thinking of something, he blurted out again:

"The mystery you are talking about, is it about Li Zhen?"

Hearing this, Twilight's eyes were full of shock, she didn't expect Chaozhe to hit the nail on the head.

Chao Zhe hurriedly explained: "Maybe it's because I usually pay close attention to him, he already has a suspicion with me, you don't have to be so shocked." ”

"No, it's not this ...... that shocked me" Twilight sensed that something was wrong, her expression seemed to be a little surprised, but that surprise was quickly overshadowed by the loss, and then immediately turned into the original shock, Chaozhe's eyes were like changing her face in Sichuan drama, she quickly changed the topic, "I didn't expect you to observe it too, it's not the most perceptive one among us." So, in the remaining time, quickly put the suspicions together. ”

Chao Zhe suddenly thought of something and asked her: "Is it really good for us to doubt our partners who have worked together for many years?" ”

Twilight thought about it carefully, organized her language, and said:

"Where there are people, there is society, and the society of the end is not different from the past, as long as there is a conflict of interest, there will be betrayal and struggle."

"It's just substantiating the suspicion with insufficient evidence, but it's up to you whether you want to prove this point of view or not."

Twilight gave Chaozhe time to think, and the moment he looked at himself again, he exhaled, "Remember that this is your choice.

On the evening of the 6th, the day before the start of this mission, after we had a meeting, I noticed that Li Zhen was not heading to his room, but to other floors of the collective dormitory. ”

Chao Zhe felt that some memories were floating in his mind, and he who was present at the time did indeed see Li Zhen who was leaving the direction inconsistently.

"He must be hiding something, this institute was A-level before it was abandoned, including some important information is still distributed here, which shows that the scientific research strength here should not be underestimated, which means that some facilities here are likely to be still in operation."

Twilight methodically added, "At the time of the collapse, he deliberately approached the direction of the storage room, which may be more conducive to his next mission."

"I'm pretty sure he did something with our equipment, probably by listening or something. Your device was lifted when I was unconscious, and I can optionally provide voice on the grounds that it was broken. Twilight spun her wrist.

"He was also extra cautious on the way to the transport lane, and he was more aggressive than he was in the past."

"Is there anything in the transport corridor?"

"He seemed relieved when he found out that it was a USB flash drive, and it didn't seem that there was anything suspicious in the USB flash drive." Twilight took out the USB flash drive in the inside pocket of her clothes so that Asahol could take a good look. The silver strip-shaped USB flash drive is very bright by the twilight wiping, and the dirt that cannot be wiped clean can still be seen in the gap of the lid. "I checked the USB flash drive, and to my surprise it was intact and there was no built-in virus."

"There's a video in there, do you want to see it?"

Chaozhe was silent for a moment, but nodded out of curiosity.
