Chapter 32 Shuttle

There were bursts of roars, as if a hundred beasts were roaring in the dark night.

The Suzuki group assembled and transferred within ten minutes. Numerous motorcycles and three large shuttles flew away from the Suzuki Spring, left the Katagi area, and headed straight for No. 26 Highland.

In the Lijia hypermarket, Xu Yang originally rested, but he was awakened by the sound of a large number of teams moving. He turned to look and saw that the Suzuki team members who were moving things in the store had already retreated, and the place was empty.

He quickly ran outside to observe the situation, and saw the lights of a vehicle pierce the darkness, cross the road, and whizz away.

"They are going to Highland No. 26," Xu Yang looked out, "We can't stop either."

"Look for the 'shuttle machine' you mentioned?" Ye Ye was still afraid of returning to the darkness, nostalgic for the light of the hypermarket.

"Yes, Ye Zi, come with me, and let's go too. The sooner we go, the better. We can only feed the mice if we stay here." Xu Yang didn't want to delay for a moment, he immediately turned around and headed towards the Bronze Titan Company's quarry. .

A head of rat-men emerged from the darkness, peeping at them, whispering and whispering at the same time.

There are more of the same kind behind them, and the number seems to be endless. There are at least tens of thousands of rat people, densely packed, and it is impossible to see the edge at a glance.

Where did the rat people come from? Xu Yang couldn't help asking himself.

This is more than that.

Some people say it is the product of the company's biochemical experiments, some say it is a strange life left over from the age of witches, some say it is a heterogeneous creature born from extraterrestrial meteorites, some say it is degenerated after humans were driven into the ground, no one Know.

There are tens of billions of rats, and the Rat People are much larger and fewer in number.

Other humanoids, such as various apes and orangutans, currently only number 300,000 worldwide, and many people think that the number of rat people will not exceed this number.

But from what we've seen so far, that's far from the truth.

According to some surveying companies, the rat people can live near the underground city, relying on the huge amount of garbage left in the underground city and on the ground to survive.

Under the prediction of artificial intelligence, the imbalance between supply and demand will cause economic turmoil. In order to balance production and sales, a large amount of food that cannot be consumed is directly discharged into the sewer, and it is likely to become the food of the rat people.

After all, when the Rat People first expanded on a large scale half a century ago, they had already shown enough intelligence to use or even replicate the hydroponic farms developed by humans, without humans knowing anything about it. , to establish a self-sufficient underground empire.

These thoughts lingered in Xu Yang's mind.

As they walked to the quarry, more and more Ratmen appeared on both sides, verifying these conjectures.

The forgotten intelligent race has returned.

They didn't attack, they just watched them walk silently in the dark, which felt even more eerie, as if they were being filmed by thousands of cameras at the same time, the rat people stared at them like they were staring at the prey to be slaughtered.

Creepy.

"Or... let's go back." Kojima Ye couldn't help it. "Go back to the place with lights, go back to the robot shop, there are automatic gun towers and battery packs to protect our safety."

"How long will the rat infestation last?" Xu Yang didn't stop, "What if we are facing a long tug of war?"

"With the company's technology and firepower, the number of mice will die." Kojima Ye Ye is very confident.

"Yes, the company is too strong, what about us?" Xu Yang sighed.

"The company is invincible," Cui Junyou added in a timely manner, "Our little people are the reserves."

"..." Leaf was silent.

"Yeah," Xu Yang said with emotion, "For the company, the Rat Man is just a disease of scabies, and it doesn't affect their business empire under the sun at all. The company also has no obligation to protect us, and now the Rat Man is killed. Those populations that are not covered by the company's plan, the company will only protect those who pay for their services. There is no doubt that the major companies will continue to thrive after this disaster, so what about us?"

"Just staying in one place will exhaust resources sooner or later," Niedlet reminded Ye Ye.

This guy can always look at facts objectively, Xu Yang feels good and can handle it.

"It's more dangerous here." Ye Zi was annoyed, "Why don't you let me stay in the hypermarket and pick me up when you find the shuttle?"

"There is something useful for you." Xu Yang smiled.

"Huh?" Ye Ye was puzzled.

"They haven't attacked for the time being." Lila used her magic power to gather intelligence around her. "They seem to be waiting for the arrival of the 'chief' and 'leader', and they are more excited than normal. If it wasn't for the lack of certain orders, they would have been waiting for a long time. rushed over."

"We move fast, we're right in front." Xu Yang pointed to the quarry in the dark.

After the longest 15 minutes in his life, Xu Yang and his party finally arrived at their destination.

After the original battle, everything was dead silent, there was no light, the floor was full of smoke and dust, bullet casings, dirt pits, metal remains and corpse fragments were intertwined, and it was difficult to distinguish carefully.

It seems that because of Farosa's burial, the psychedelic aura of the inner room of the excavation site dissipated. The rat people didn't like this smell, so they didn't break in, but just spied on the periphery.

Xu Yang ran to find the shuttle, Lila and Farosa stopped very close to the entrance.

The burial chamber where Farosha was buried was still hidden deep, with a faint flood of light, and Lila stared there. In the absence of light, she was able to slowly construct an internal model from the information she perceived.

Temperature, airflow, and visual imaging are all available resources.

"The people who hated me the most built that place together." Farosa folded her arms in front of her chest, "There are still my funeral objects in it, do you want to dig it out?"

"1,000 years ago, there were about 8 witches who were very violently malicious for doing things that made other witches invincible, causing an unprecedented catastrophe." Lila recalled.

"Only 8 of the 11 witches are remembered by people of this era? I really want to know how the three forgotten ones will feel if they live to this day." Farosa half-smiled.

"In fact, only numbers have been passed down without any detailed records."

"I guess that's why modern witches seem so vulnerable, because they don't know anything about the past."

"If you are one of them, your presence is a huge threat to us."

"As long as you don't provoke me, everything is easy to say." Farosa scorned, "I feel disgusted by a monstrous witch like you. Your existence has insulted our entire ethnic group. If God could know about you, God would have nothing to do with it. Destroy you blasphemous without hesitation."

"It's a pity that your 'God' has fallen in the attack of major companies." Lila took a calm attitude.

The gloomy smile on Farosa's face was even weirder. She shook her head and walked quickly towards Xu Yang.

Xu Yang found the black shuttle, opened the hatch and got in. He turned to greet the others, and Farosa was the first to get into the shuttle.

"Wow!" She excitedly said to Xu Yang, "We came here safely."

"Of course!" Xu Yang felt that Farosa was extraordinarily naive and cute at this moment.

"So many motorcycles left just now. Is there no one in the hot spring? It would be great if I could go back to the hot spring before and pay homage to the gods. I miss the gods so much!" Farosa said.

Oh god...great god, I haven't tasted your fear for a long time. I wonder if you are as soft and mournful as before.

"Worshiping the gods can restore your strength." Xu Yang remembered, "If you have the chance, go over and take a look. The people from the Suzuki group seem to have really left, so they shouldn't stop us from visiting that place, and they shouldn't send them. People stay, there are so many rat people, how can they stay."

"Yeah, yeah." Farosa nodded happily, "I can't wait to use my full power, then I can really do whatever I want."

"If you can recover your strength from the worship, it will be good for all of us, but you have to be careful, after all, there are rat people everywhere." Xu Yang reminded.

When he saw Lila coming up, he took her to the console, pulled out a data cable from the console, connected it to his wrist, hacked into the internal system, modified the background settings, and found the original Black Fire Innovation AI. to completely block its administrative rights.

"Warning: Violent hacking has been detected." The AI ​​of the shuttle immediately broadcast, "Suggestion: The crew members immediately find the neuro-hacker and kill them. Warning, violent hacking has been detected..."

Xu Yang adjusted its volume to 0.

Lila sat on the operating table and quickly connected to the control. She cooperated closely with Xu Yang and became the new controller of the shuttle. The original AI intelligence was permanently isolated and could no longer interfere with the behavior of the shuttle.

Under Lila's operation, the shuttle engine started, the airflow spurted, and it rose from the ground, ready to go.

It worked! Xu Yang was excited for a while.

This shuttle machine is not painted. It was originally used for the evacuation of the mercenaries who were innovated by the Black Fire. It is a powerful military technology product, and its performance is outstanding. The performance of speed, manipulation, and protection are all excellent.

"It's big and bright here." Cui Junyou also came up and saw the automatic doctor that came with the shuttle. "Hey, this thing is also new, and there's nothing wrong with it."

"Yes, this is it." Xu Yang said pleasantly, "Use it to repair me."

The implants were new, the hacking was fully on, and I was the real tech juggernaut back then. Xu Yang was excited when he thought about it.

Due to the current large-scale rat infestation, there are loopholes that can be exploited everywhere in this chaotic dungeon, where big companies are reluctant to set foot, and every block will become my private property, who else can hold me accountable Responsibility, bring up my hacking log? Besides, I still have hundreds of millions of dollars to spend! As long as you use this shuttle to escape from life, the future will be promising.

"You go first." Cui Junyou pushed Xu Yang into the automatic doctor and adjusted it on the control screen outside, "Well, I can use many of its functions, I will give you aseptic treatment first, and then cut your skull open. Change your processor to Feishen 4, plug in the No. 7 wire, and you will be invincible."

"Yeah." Xu Yang nodded, "It couldn't be better."

"There is a problem." Cui Junyou said quickly, "You will be anesthetized for a while, and then you will not be able to move."

"So what's the matter?" Xu Yang didn't know what Cui Junyou meant for a while.

"You're not here, who's in charge?" Cui Junyou looked at the person in the shuttle, "You're the guy in our team who gave orders, right? Who will preside over the situation when you fall asleep? What if there is an emergency? "

Xu Yang looked around and saw that Ye Zi, Farosa, Lila, and Niedlet were still able to move.

The answer is obvious.

When I was sleeping, among the four, there was only one person capable of presiding over the situation.
