long night fire

That man was none other than Wu Meng who was sealed in the ruins of Wasteland No. 13.

His projection unexpectedly appeared here.

Shang Jianyao then turned his head and said to Gnava with emotion:

"It's really an old acquaintance in a foreign land."

"Barely." Gnava did not use specific probabilities, but chose ambiguous words that were closer to human habits.

Wu Meng obviously couldn't hear Shang Jianyao's greeting just now, but the experienced Shang Jianyao resolutely gave up the "Berserker" assault rifle he was holding, and took out the little Jade Buddha.

The turquoise light then lit up, rushing to the surroundings silently, making the fog seem to have subsided a lot.

Wu Meng raised his head and looked at Shang Jianyao and Gnawa through the pair of small round glasses.

He slowly smiled:

"You guys..."

He still uses Honghe language.

"It's us." Shang Jianyao asked curiously, "Aren't you sealed in the wasteland No. 13 ruins, why did you still appear in the 'New World'?"

He seemed to take the previous speculation as the real situation, taking it for granted that Wu Meng is now a reflection from the "New World".

Wu Meng's expression turned slightly cold:

"If you don't rely on 'New World', what will they use to seal me?"

"Oh, so that's how it is." Shang Jian Yao acted as if suddenly enlightened.

Before he could ask again, Wu Meng folded up the newspaper in his hand and said with a smile:

"I know you want to know a lot of things, but I'm not going to answer you.

"I can only remind you, don't go any further, there are dangers that you can't deal with right now."

As soon as Wu Meng finished speaking, the area illuminated by the street light became distorted.

After the scene flickered a few times, it was completely dimmed with mist.

"Why did the projection of 'New World' be destroyed after just a few words?" Shang Jianyao was extremely aggrieved.

It was like this when he communicated with Flora and Barnard before, and it is also like this when he is talking to Wu Meng now.

Gnava guessed:

"There may be some kind of force preventing the people of the 'New World' from communicating with the people of the gray earth."

"Just like what happened to the first batch of 'New World' powerhouses in the 'Salvation Army'?" Shang Jianyao put away the little Jade Buddha, raised his right hand and pressed down on the armor on his left chest.

"Should." Gnava felt that the two things were essentially the same, but in different forms.

He suggested to Shang Jianyao:

"Going back now?"

"Why do you have to return?" Shang Jian Yao was very surprised.

Gnava replied:

"Didn't Wu Meng just say not to go deeper, there is a danger ahead that we cannot deal with?"

Shang Jian Yao laughed:

"Wu Meng also said that the more dangerous you are, the more adventurous you must be.

"He may be implying that we will continue to move forward. Well, with that kind of force stopping him, he can't say it clearly!"

Gnava was about to speak, but suddenly turned his head again:

"I have that feeling of being followed by something again."

boom!

Shang Jianyao, who had already prepared in secret, used the grenade launcher of the exoskeleton device to shoot a flare to the rear.

Under the sudden burst of light, wearing a helmet, he saw through the goggles that there was a black feline creature about the size of a cheetah on the balcony of a building in the distance.

The creature's green eyes were shrunk into a line by the flare.

Chapter 48 Respectively

Bang bang bang!

When Shang Jian Yao fired a flare to the rear, Gnava quickly turned around and pulled the trigger.

But he, who was supposed to shoot without missing a beat, failed to hit the target this time. Those bullets hit the outer edge of the balcony, sparking sparks.

The cheetah-like feline creature was startled suddenly, got rid of the stimulation brought by the flares, and jumped into the window corresponding to the balcony.

Boom!

Shang Jianyao fired a grenade that fell on the balcony, creating a blazing flame that shattered many nearby windows.

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

Shang Jianyao did not laugh, but said honestly:

"My vision has also been disturbed to a certain extent. I originally wanted to bomb the room leading to the balcony, forcing the big cat to jump into the street, but in the end, hey..."

He was a little disappointed by that.

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

He said to Shang Jianyao:

"This may be the animal that Dabai reminded us to be careful."

"What is there to be careful about? It will only follow us in a sneaky way." Shang Jianyao expressed dissatisfaction, "Whether it is long-range or close combat, I can make it with one hand without any problem."

Gnava glanced at his left hand, which was drooping due to paralysis, and didn't argue about the issue.

He said in a slightly synthetic voice:

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

"Why?" Seeing that Yao always had doubts, Shang asked.

Gnava picked the point and replied:

"I searched the database, using 'feline creature' as the keyword, and found that the last time it appeared was in the ruins of the snow-covered city, when Xiao Bai saw a giant white cat creature.

"That place doesn't have much in common with Coning Meath. 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, the big cat just now might have been raised by the Eighth Research Institute?" Shang Jianyao easily understood Gnawa's meaning.

In this regard, he was not surprised at all, and he had no fear, as if he would fix one for me too.

"Yes." Gnava nodded with his current chameleon-like head.

Shang Jianyao thought about it and said:

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

"Hey, I was too hasty to deal with it just now, otherwise I could let the big cat lead the way."

"It may not be long before that cat-like creature will bring people from the Eighth Research Institute." Gnava said his inference, "It should be a member of the Eighth Research Institute responsible for patrolling Conimis One, animals are not afraid of 'no heart disease', nor worry about what will happen to them in the core region of electromagnetic disturbance."

Shang Jian Yao let out an "hey":

"I should have a nice talk with it, and tell it that the two countries are at war without killing each other."

Gnawa has learned not to chat along Shang Jianyao's train of thought, because this companion's train of thought often changes, he said directly:

"I suggest withdrawing from Conimis now, and join Dabai and the others to prevent the attack of the Eighth Research Institute."

"The more dangerous it is, the more risky it is, Lao Ge." Shang Jianyao responded with Wu Meng's words again.

He added with a laugh:

"I really want to see how the people of the Eighth Research Institute can move unimpeded in this area that overlaps with the 'New World'. I also want to see that I hide human consciousness. Old Ge, you activated the 'Chameleon' bionic Will they be able to find us after the stealth function of the smart armor?"

"You need to do something about your own smell..." Gnava helped to check for omissions and fill in the gaps.

He went on to say:

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

Shang Jianyao replied without hesitation:

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

"Uh, rule out or affirm the possibility of the 'New World' node."

"Then let's go deeper as soon as possible." Once a decision is made, Gnawa, as an intelligent robot, will never look back and hesitate.

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

In this process, he used the biological agent provided by the company to complete the masking of the smell.

But after that, Shang Jianyao didn't run wildly in big strides, and still stayed where he was.

"Do you need me to call one, two, three to run?" Gnava asked kindly when he saw that Yao hadn't moved for a few seconds.

Shang Jian Yao shook his head:

"Need not.

"I just suddenly thought of a question."

"What's the problem?" Gnava asked.

"Didn't we be attacked by a high-level 'mindless person' before?" Shang Jianyao's thinking leaped so fast that Gnawa couldn't keep up.

"Yes." Gnava moved his metal-cast neck up and down, "What's the problem?"

Shang Jian Yao said seriously:

"At that time, I was affected, and I forgot how to use the ability, just like the ability of the 'limb movement loss' in the brain, it took dozens of seconds to fully recover.

"If that high-level 'Mindless One' only had the 'Sea of ​​Origin' level, I would be able to get rid of the corresponding effect in a few seconds at most, and the degree of impact would not be that deep.

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

"But what can an 'unintentional person' use to overcome the psychological shadow and fear of the island? How can he advance?"

This cannot be accomplished by creatures lacking intelligence.

Countless data entered Gnawa's main module, and calculations started at high speed.

After a few seconds, Gnava said:

"This was a guess at the beginning, but didn't it later prove that the early awakeners would not enter the 'Hall of Stars' at all?

"'Hall of Stars', 'Sea of ​​Origin' and 'Corridor of Mind' are all suspected to be built by certain beings, or belong to the legacy of those researchers in the old world.

"In other words, even if the awakened do not rely on the 'Hall of Stars', cross the 'Ocean of Origin', or explore the 'Soul Corridor', it is still possible to improve their abilities. The path is unknown and the difficulty is even greater.

"Since it is not necessary to cross the 'Sea of ​​Origin', it is not necessarily necessary to overcome the island of psychological shadow and fear."

Shang Jianyao suddenly realized:

"Is this the case for those higher 'mindless ones'?"

"It's just speculation for the time being." Gnava was not sure.

Shang Jianyao turned his eyes to the depths of the mist again, and shouted in a low voice:

"One, two, three, run!"

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

Gnava followed closely behind.

This time, Shang Jianyao didn't bother with the dead bodies on the street, but headed for the place where the fog was deepest.

He forcibly controlled his strength, not letting the metal bones on the soles of his feet collide 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 towards an alley shrouded in darkness.

There were figures floating there, obviously aggressive.

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

There was also a Taoist figure there. He seemed to break the glass and jumped down to attack Shang Jianyao and Gnawa.
