Chapter 711 Ambush
In a city destroyed by war, a small group of mercenaries and a "civilian" were walking through the streets under the cover of surrounding buildings. They stayed away from the area where the exchange of fire was taking place. The occasional sporadic gunshots that could be heard sounded very strange. It seems that this journey will be peaceful, at least for now.
Nolan turned back and glanced at the "civilian". He had followed the team on foot for a long distance with the dead blond girl on his back. Until now, he had not fallen behind. She didn't know whether to praise this natural man's physical strength or his persistence. ——Or curse this damn world.
"I also said he couldn't last one kilometer," a mercenary whispered to his companion. He was one of the two newcomers who were responsible for recovering the weapons. "Tsk, I lose this time. I owe you a favor." Meal money.”
His companion muttered: "Speaking of which, that girl looks like a second-generation evolved person. This is the first time I've seen a natural person get so close to a second-generation evolved person."
Nolan asked his soldiers to quiet down with a straight face: "Shut up and go on your way in peace."
At this time, Hao Ren, who seemed to be quiet, was actually having a lively chat with his data terminal in his mind. The data terminal was expressing his opinion based on the "scandal": "Actually, I don't think this is the first time you have been involved in a scandal. ——Think about the pot at home, and then think about your image in Hesiana’s heart, are there not many scandals about you?”
Hao Ren had been bothered by this guy's noise all the way, and at this time, he was exhausted from arguing: "Why can't you stop talking nonsense... If you don't have the time to think about these nonsense, can't you analyze why you are like this? ?”
"This machine has been analyzed. The reason has not been analyzed," the data terminal said calmly. "This machine is a logic machine. It is okay to analyze some quantifiable experimental data. You can let this machine activate the sixth sense out of thin air. I guess it’s better to find Lily, at least she has a broad mind.”
Hao Ren sighed inwardly: "Either you were disturbed when you entered the dream plane and transformed into this image, or it was 'seizing the body' and your mind possessed a local person. Now look Come on, the latter has a higher chance."
Before discovering the Tanagus Rift, Hao Ren and the others could only enter the Dream Plane through mental sneaking, so they studied this process a lot. According to research, when the mental body enters the dream plane, since the main body is still in the surface world, a "clone" similar to data projection will be formed here, and the image of this clone is usually generated based on self-cognition, so the mental body If a schizophrenic person sleeps and enters the dream plane, he will most likely turn into an image that he cannot recognize - but Hao Ren doesn't think that a data terminal can be schizophrenic, and even if it is schizophrenic, it will not split into a person. The soft blonde girl is here, not to mention dead...
To sum up, the chance of "seizing the body" is greater. Perhaps the moment the data terminal entered the world, the blond girl also died, and then the two people's consciousness resonated or something... Anyway Isn’t that what the books say?
The data terminal thought about it seriously: "They are all guesses without data support. This machine is not good at judging such propositions. This machine only knows that the current situation is not good, and there is a big problem in sensing, and it is still unable to move. It is really low." What a useless body..."
"Nonsense, put Windows into the abacus, you can't run it. Just thank God that you still have the ability to quarrel with me." Hao Ren was even more resentful than the data terminal. "I'm still awkward. You It suddenly became such a big lump, and I had to carry it on my back when I took you on the road! How can it be as convenient as putting it in my pocket? Hey, there are so many people around, and I can’t throw you into the portable space..."
No one knew the conversation he had with the data terminal in his mind. Ulanov turned his head and looked at the man who had been "taciturn" curiously along the way: "Did you originally plan to go through the entire lawless zone? To Zero City? Or to Black street?”
Hao Ren didn't know where these places were, but he couldn't expose his ignorance too much, so he asked, "What's the situation in these two places now?"
"What else can you do, it's not a good place to go," another mercenary smacked his lips, "Zero City is better for now. It is more or less a managed city. It is currently dominated by evolutionists, but natural people can also survive, but entering It's more troublesome. You either have money or skills, or you have to make things difficult for them. But if you can fight, you can join their city guard army. The underworld is more relaxed than Zero City, and anyone can go there. , but how long you can live in it all depends on your luck. There is no difference between natural people and evolved people, and their lives are not valuable."
Ulanov added in a sullen tone: "By the way, we 'Grey Foxes' do business on the underworld."
"I suggest you go to Zero City," Nolan said from the front without looking back. "You can't survive more than three days on the underworld, and your gold will kill you. If you go to Zero City, you All your property will be handed over to the city management committee, and you should be able to exchange it for three years of living rights. Within three years, you should find a way to survive."
Hao Ren slowly digested these things about the world view, and outlined in his mind the distribution of forces in nearby areas and the current situation of the world. However, his silence meant something else in the eyes of Ulanov, who patted him. Shoulder: "Recognize the reality, after crossing the Gray River, this is the rule."
At this time, Nolan, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped and signaled the mercenaries behind him to be alert. Hao Ren and others hid behind a half-collapsed cement wall. He saw an open space not far ahead. , there seemed to be some signs of air distortion above the open space. After concentrating his energy, he could tell that it was a layer of optical camouflage.
Nolan squatted down in the shadow, pressing the communicator by her ear as if communicating with someone. After a while, she signaled that the alert was lifted, and then stood up and waved to the open space in front of her.
The optical camouflage above the clearing shook and faded, as if a ring-shaped water curtain fell, and a large armored truck appeared in front of everyone. Hao Ren noticed that the front of this truck had the same logo as Nolan's battle suit. It seemed that this was the person who came to pick them up.
"Follow me." Nolan waved his hand and walked ahead, but just when Hao Ren was about to follow him, his sixth sense that he had trained in battle suddenly sounded an alarm!
"There's an ambush!" He and Nolan shouted out almost at the same time, and the moment they finished speaking, gunshots rang out!
Flames spewed out from several surrounding buildings without warning, and intensive gunshots suddenly sounded like a rainstorm. The mercenaries reacted instantly and immediately retreated to the bunker. Nolan had no time to return because he was too far ahead. She had no choice but to grit her teeth and rush towards the armored truck in front, seemingly trying to use the body of the truck to seek cover.
Hao Ren had already put the "corpse" on his back aside and was about to find a chance to fight back. But at this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw the door of the truck in front of him opening, and an arm holding a gun. It was sticking out from inside and pointing at Nolan.
Hao Ren took out a hard object from his pocket and smashed it, accurately smashing the pistol of the man in the car. Nolan immediately took this opportunity to draw his gun and shoot to kill the enemy in front of him. He ducked into the truck like a nimble monkey. At the same time, other mercenaries around him also started to fight back. In an instant, only deafening gunshots and explosions could be heard. Hao Ren looked at the surrounding situation and thought that his psionic weapon and plasma spear were too eye-catching. So he simply put away his weapon and tiptoed towards a nearby building. Ulanov shouted from behind: "What are you going to do!?"
Hao Ren didn't reply. After a few ups and downs, he hunched over and disappeared into the shadow of a building.
A moment later, with a scream, an ambushed fireman was thrown directly from the top floor of the building and fell to death on the spot in the open space.
Hao Ren poked his head out from the edge of the building and waved to the mercenaries below, thinking that this should be regarded as combat power within the human category...
Ulanov looked at this scene in shock, unable to believe Hao Ren's identity as a civilian. At the same time, a sound of mechanical friction suddenly came from the truck in the middle of the open space, and he saw that the roof of the truck was gradually A small weapons station rose up from below. Nolan stood on the lifting platform and controlled four multi-barreled cannons to aim at fire points on nearby buildings.
With a dull expression, Nolan activated these killer weapons, and the next moment, only the roar of multi-barreled cannons was left in the open space.
