Chapter 824 Each

Bang bang bang!

When Shang Jianyao fired the flare to the rear, Gennava reacted very quickly and twisted his body and pulled the trigger.

But his bullets were supposed to be perfect, but this time he failed to hit the target. The bullets hit the outer edge of the balcony, sparking little sparks.

The cheetah-like feline creature suddenly started, shook off the excitement caused by the flare, and jumped into the window corresponding to the balcony.

Boom!

The grenade launched by Shang Jianyao landed on the balcony, setting off a blazing fire and shattering many nearby windows.

"My aiming system has been greatly disturbed." When the explosion subsided, Gnawa explained the "mistake" just now.

Shang Jianyao did not laugh, but said honestly:

"My vision was also disturbed to a certain extent. I originally wanted to bomb the room leading to the balcony, forcing the big cat to jump to the street. But, ugh..."

He was a little disappointed.

Gnawa searched for a while, but found no trace of the giant cat creature.

He said to Shang Jianyao:

"This could be the animal that Baymax reminds us to be careful of."

"What's there to be careful about? It can only follow us sneakily." Shang Jianyao expressed dissatisfaction, "Whether it's long-range or close combat, it won't be a problem for me to let it use one hand."

Gennava glanced at his left hand that was drooping due to paralysis and did not argue about the issue.

He said in a slightly synthetic voice:

"I have initially figured out why Dabai said that?"

"Why?" Shang Jianyao always asked when he had doubts.

Gennava answered emphatically:

"I searched the database, using the keyword 'cat creature', and found that the last time it appeared was in the ruins of the city covered in ice and snow. At that time, Xiaobai saw a white giant cat creature.

"That place doesn't have much in common with Cornynmis. The most noteworthy thing is that they both have a certain connection with the Eighth Research Institute. It's just a suspicion and a certainty."

"You mean, that big cat just now might have been raised by the Eighth Research Institute?" Shang Jianyao easily understood what Gnawa meant.

He was not surprised at all and had no fear at all. He looked like he would treat me too.

"Yes." Gnawa's head, which was currently shaped like a chameleon, nodded.

Shang Jianyao thought about it and said:

"So, where should we find the people from the Eighth Research Institute?

"Hey, I was too hasty just now, otherwise I would have let the big cat lead the way."

"Maybe it won't be long before that feline creature will bring people from the Eighth Research Institute." Gnawa said his inference, "It should be a member of the Eighth Research Institute responsible for patrolling Konimis. For one, animals are not afraid of 'unintentional disease' or what they are suffering from in the core areas of electromagnetic disturbances."

Shang Jianyao said "Hey":

"I should have a nice talk with it and tell it that the two countries will not stop fighting until the war breaks out."

Gennava has learned not to follow Shang Jianyao's train of thought when chatting, because this companion's train of thought often changes. He said directly:

"I suggest that we withdraw from Cornimis now and join Baymax and the others to prevent the attack from the Eighth Research Institute."

"The more dangerous it is, the more risks you have to take, Lao Ge." Shang Jianyao responded again with Wu Meng's words.

He added with a smile:

"I really want to see how people from the Eighth Research Institute can travel unimpeded in this area that overlaps with the 'New World'. I also want to see how I have hidden human consciousness. Laoge, you have activated the 'Chameleon' bionics." With the stealth function of the smart armor, can they still find us?"

"You need to do something about your smell..." Gennava helped to check and fill in the gaps.

He went on to say:

"You can't turn on the searchlights on the way, so you can't check the bodies on the road. What's the point of continuing?"

Shang Jianyao replied without hesitation:

“This exploration must at least roughly figure out what the root of the problem is.

"Well, rule out or confirm the possibility of the 'New World' node."

"Then let's go deep as soon as possible." Once a decision is made, Gnawa, as an intelligent robot, will never look forward or hesitate again.

"Okay!" Shang Jianyao turned around, bent his back slightly, and assumed a starting posture.

In the process, he used the biological agent provided by the company to cover up the smell.

But after that, Shang Jianyao didn't start running like crazy, he still stayed in the same place.

"Do you need me to shout one, two, three and run away?" Gnawa asked kindly when Shang Jianyao didn't move for a few seconds.

Shang Jianyao shook his head:

"Need not.

"I just suddenly thought of a question."

"What's the problem?" Gennava asked.

"Weren't we attacked by a high-level 'unintentional' before?" Shang Jianyao's thinking jumped so fast that even Gnawa could not keep up.

"Yes." Gennava moved his metal neck up and down, "What's the problem with this?"

Shang Jianyao said seriously:

"I was affected at the time and forgot how to use my abilities. It was like a 'loss of limb movements' in my brain. It took me dozens of seconds to fully recover.

"If the high-level 'Heartless One' only has the 'Origin Sea' level, I can get rid of the corresponding effect in a few seconds at most, and the degree of impact will not be that deep.

"I suspect that he is a high-level 'mindless person' at the level of the 'soul corridor'.

"But what can a 'careless person' do to defeat the psychological shadow fear island? Why can he advance?"

This cannot be accomplished by creatures lacking intelligence.

Countless data enter Gnawa's main module and start calculations at high speed.

After a few seconds, Gennava said:

“This was a guess at the beginning, but wasn’t it later confirmed that the early awakeners would not enter the ‘Hall of Stars’ at all?

“The ‘Hall of Stars’, ‘Sea of ​​Origin’ and ‘Psychic Corridor’ are all suspected to have been built by certain entities, or are leftovers from researchers in the old world.

“In other words, even if the awakened do not rely on the ‘Hall of Stars’, cross the ‘Sea of ​​Origin’, or explore the ‘Corridor of the Soul’, it is still possible to improve their abilities. The path is unknown and more difficult.

“Since it is not necessarily necessary to break through the ‘Sea of ​​Origin’, it is not necessarily necessary to defeat the psychological shadow fear island.”

Shang Jianyao suddenly realized:

"Is this the case for those high-level 'unintentional ones'?"

"It's just speculation for now." Gnawa was not sure.

Shang Jianyao cast his gaze back into the depths of the mist and shouted in a low voice:

"One, two, three, run!"

He ran out like an arrow. With the assistance of a military exoskeleton device, even if one hand was paralyzed, he still ran smoothly, smoothly and naturally.

Gnawa followed.

This time, Shang Jianyao stopped looking at the corpses on the street and headed towards the place where the fog was deepest.

He controlled his strength to prevent the metal bones on his feet from colliding with the ground to make too obvious a sound.

After running like this for a while, Shang Jianyao suddenly turned sideways, holding the "Berserker" assault rifle, and pulled the trigger into an alley shrouded in darkness.

There were figures floating around there, obviously aggressive.

At the same time, Gnawa also raised his arm and aimed at a window of the building on the other side.

There was also a figure there. He seemed to be breaking the glass, jumped down and attacked Shang Jianyao and Gnawa.

Bang bang bang!

Shang Jianyao and Gnawa finished shooting at the same time.

This time, in order to prevent strong electromagnetic interference, they did not insist on accuracy and directed fire coverage.

With banging sounds, the glass windows shattered, and bullet holes appeared one after another on the walls and cement floors on the side of the alley.

The two figures were also penetrated by bullets, and the water wave was also penetrated without any damage.

"Phantom?" Gnawa calmly interrupted the shooting and raised a possibility.

The two figures each did their own thing. One threw himself into the corner of the alley and nibbled at the darkness, as if there were delicious prey there. The other passed through the window and fell to the street. He shook a few times and "collapsed" on the spot.

Shang Jianyao said "Oh":

"A phantom like Flora and Barnard?"

"But this does not come from the overlap of the 'New World', but more like some scenes after the disaster in Konimis." Gnava quickly analyzed, "This was recorded by the chaotic electromagnetic environment?"

Shang Jian Yao was very happy when he heard this:

“This shows that we are on the right track!

"We are much closer to the source of the problem!"

What he meant was that why we didn't encounter similar things before, but now we have, it's because such a situation exists in the core area where the disaster broke out.

"Should." Gennava replied impartially.

Shang Jianyao waved his right hand holding the "Berserker" assault rifle:

"Then let's go deeper!"

…………

Edge of Cornynmeath, Western Mountain Crossing.

Jiang Baimian and others made the jeep park deeper into the woods to avoid being discovered by the "patrols" of the Eighth Research Institute.

"We have lost contact with feeding them." Jiang Baimian, who was wearing a military exoskeleton device, stopped trying. "The electromagnetic environment there gets worse the deeper it goes?"

Bai Chen nodded and said slightly worriedly:

"The deeper you go, the more likely you are to encounter people from the Eighth Research Institute. They won't let anyone investigate what exactly happened to Cornynmis."

"They can definitely follow what they did in Taicheng and directly clear the ground with long-range missiles and bury the city..." Jiang Baimian didn't quite understand this.

"Maybe the problems deep in Cornimis cannot be investigated clearly. The Eighth Research Institute really just wants to prevent the problem from spreading, and this cannot be solved by missile bombing." Long Yuehong guessed.

Jiang Baimian said "hmm":

"Now I just hope that Hei and Laoge don't run into people from the Eighth Research Institute. We can wait until we are ready."

"Yes, yes." Long Yuehong quickly agreed.

At this time, Bai Chen pursed his lips and said:

"Team leader, do you think it's too quiet around us?"

After hearing Bai Chen's question, Long Yuehong realized that the wind in the woods where she and others were was seemed to have stopped.

It wasn't like this just now.
