Tomorrow's Ark, Second International

Ethan spent more than half of his life escaping. After being infected, he fled from the hometown where he was born and raised him to join the integration movement. After finding out that the integration movement had deteriorated, he fled and joined the International.

"Hey..."

Ethan regretted it very much. At that time, he only wanted to be handsome, and he didn’t want any real things. Now think about what’s the point of being handsome with a middle-aged man. His requirements are not high, just order a meal coupon. Listen It is said that the silver-haired chef on the Firefly is especially good at cooking insects.Don't look at him like this, he still likes to eat bugs.

Opening the sewer manhole cover, Ethan jumped down skillfully, as if he had returned home. He did live in the sewer for a while back then, and he didn't know if the graffiti was still there in the sewer where he lived.

Compared with Ethan regretting whether he could get more benefits there, Big Bob felt that he had one more person to worry about, and now he needed to put two communicators on the table in front of him.

If it wasn't that he couldn't find a suitable manpower, he actually didn't want to entrust Ethan to do this task. After all, Ethan was a member of Teco. Strictly speaking, Big Bob didn't have the authority to order Ethan. It could only be regarded as a commission. .

Fortunately, the current international is not yet a bureaucracy, and there will be no situation where people are afraid of taking responsibility and do not do it. Instead of worrying about the consequences of mission failure, Big Bob thinks that the intelligence brought by mission success is more important.

If there is a problem with the engine in the slums, it is really fatal.It is said that the engine is guarded by Shu King's people. Big Bob is not worried about Shu King. From the communication not long ago, he can see that Shu King doesn't say that he publicly supports the slums to get rid of Longmen, at least he maintains an attitude of acquiescence and promotion .

It's just that there is another person in Longmen.

If that person has any changes, it will be really troublesome. Even if you are ready to go to war, it is always good to be able to prepare for an extra minute, even if you don't know if that person will give you a chance.

There are too many civilians in the slums, and those people cannot be allowed to stay here after the war. In this way, even if the battle for the slums fails, it will not be considered a loss of money. Their original target is actually these people, but now the target is a bit out of control. It's just off.

Evacuating the poor is not only an important task for the present, but also for the future.

"Have you received Nonna's communication? When will they arrive?"

~

Walking in the sewer, Ethan expressed the same feeling as the idle wolf. He couldn't believe that this was the sewer of a slum, it was too clean.

Occasionally, small creatures such as insects and mice shuttled from the corner, and logically they should be in groups.

"If you lived here, you might starve to death."

Ethan's mind turned in a strange direction, but for some extremely poor or shady people, insects and mice were their main food.

Although it is very dirty and can spread diseases, there is no way to do it. Filling the stomach is the first priority. Just be careful not to be scratched by them. Once infected, you are likely to die.

Ethan’s way of cooking mice comes from a small village outside the city. As a young man, he couldn’t tell the difference between mice and voles. In his opinion, they are all the same. Thinking about it now is quite scary.

The way to cook the mouse is naturally to put the mouse on a stick and burn off the hair. Although this is only a preliminary treatment, the crispy mouse tail and mouse paws that have been roasted become the first snack.

Crunchy, no chicken taste.

The next step is to remove the skin, discard the internal organs and chop the rat meat into small pieces

Cooking as a hobby is no different from cooking pork and beef.

This process is also full of dangers, and contact with the blood and internal organs of rats is also very likely to be infected with diseases, which he only knew after he came to the world.

In addition, Ethan is not very clean, he is still alive and standing here, it can only be said that his life is relatively hard.

Fortunately, after Azazel's physical examination, Ethan has no more symbionts in his body except for a roundworm. He is the real lucky one.

Thinking of mice, Ethan felt a little greedy again, he no longer eats these things now, life is more important than appetite, isn't it?

When the work is done, he wants to have a good meal.

Chapter 378 The Empty Underground Facility

"This, what is this?"

Ethan, who was walking while leaning on the wall, suddenly felt empty, and fell to the ground. He raised his head and looked, but still couldn't find the culprit that caused him to fall.

It wasn't until he touched the position just now that he realized that it was empty, because he didn't notice the blind spot in his field of vision at all.

Going inside along this opening, there happens to be a hollow that can accommodate two people.

It must be fake to say that I am not curious about the source of this void, but now is not the time to dwell on such small issues,

The underground facility was right in front of him, and Ethan had to adjust his state to avoid showing his feet.

The activation of Originium skills is like breathing. As long as the frequency of breathing is not chaotic, Ethan can guarantee his perfect spellcasting.

'Why is there no one, it's too deserted. '

Originally, I thought I could go to the warm welcome of the guards of the underground facility, but I didn't even see a figure, thanks to the fact that he deliberately became invisible.

However, there is indeed a huge underground facility here, and it can be seen from the wide metal gates of these people that the space inside is definitely not small.

This gate seems to have been maintained for a long time, even in the dark and damp underground, there is no trace of rust on it.

There are small doors on both sides of the gate for people to enter and exit, not with keys but with more advanced ID cards.

It's just that now, the two small doors are all wide open, and it's pitch-black like a life-swallowing mouth.

Ethan's Adam's apple moved up and down, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and tightly grasped his only support, the metal yo-yo.

He didn't dare to relax at all, and tried his best to maintain the best state of Originium skills. Compared with guarded and unmanned underground facilities, it was more dangerous, because he didn't know what was inside.

The soles of Ethan's shoes have been modified, and the soft structure allows him to enter this underground facility with almost no sound.

It's just that this is not foolproof, whether it is a metal staircase or a metal corridor, it still takes some skills to not make a little sound, but fortunately he has these skills.

Sure enough, it was right not to let his teammates come. As Big Bob said, they would not be of much use if they came, but they might put themselves in it.

The only good news is that the lights in this facility are still on, and the door to the guard room next to it is open, and Ethan saw a half-drunk cup of coffee on the table in the guard room.

He purposely covered his hand, wanting to see if the [coffee is still steaming] situation that often appears in novels, but unfortunately the coffee has indeed gone cold.

Because he deliberately put his index finger in, dipped a little into his mouth.

'There is too little sugar, and there is no milk, so it doesn't taste good. '

As for the coffee being drunk by others?He didn't care anyway.

Turning his head to look at the monitoring in the guard room, the monitoring here is not complete, only some things on the periphery can be seen, it seems that there is another set of monitoring protruding from the facility.

From this point of view, it can only be said that everything is normal, and the only abnormal thing is that there will be no "people" in all surveillance in the future.

The leftover food in the cafeteria, the half-processed documents on the desk and table, and even the supplies in the corridor that are on the way to transport.

From everything, it can be seen that the people here have experienced an orderly evacuation, what happened to them and where they were evacuated to.

But this is not important anymore. The important thing is that Ethan has been able to confirm that this is where the engine of the slum is located. On the table in the guard room, some documents clearly write the word engine.

The main reason is that Ethan's cultural level is not high, he doesn't know many words, and he likes to miss errands in the literacy class.

But she still knows the word Longmen, it's on the Longmen coin, and he can recognize the rest of the common words such as "careful" and "attention".

It's just that the last one is "black*", what is black, that word is too uncommon, but Ethan's intuition told him that the evacuation of the staff here has something to do with this word.

Looking at the monitoring screen in the guard room, it was too normal, and something was wrong, Ethan scanned the screen one by one, and finally he found the problem.

Most of the pictures are normal and change with the flow of time. Even if there are no people, the things in the pictures will undergo some slight changes.

There is only one picture in the bottom left corner, which is a room with a ceiling fan. The slowly rotating ceiling fan in this picture always has a little sense of disobedience.

This ceiling fan, which seems to have only the second gear, can clearly see the rotation track, but every time the ceiling fan rotates 28 times, it will get stuck, and then continue to rotate normally.

If it is one time, it may be that this point is stuck or the monitoring is faulty, so if this freeze is not a coincidence, but something that must happen every 28 laps.

A strange idea popped into my mind, it seems that the real picture of a monitoring station is a set video, and the real monitoring picture has been artificially replaced.

Obviously, this will not be set by the original staff here, that is to say, there are indeed intruders here.

The anxious evacuation of the staff was also related to these intruders. They even gave up half of their breakfast in a hurry.

There are also various documents in the office, which were not taken away. Apart from the rush, there may be other reasons.

It's just that the current information is still too scarce, and Ethan has no way to fully analyze it. After all, he is just a scout, not a staff officer in the headquarters.

According to the normal situation, he can now retreat, and the character given to him by Big Bob is the engine to detect the location of this underground facility and determine whether it is a slum.

Now that he has completed this task perfectly, if he retreats, it can be regarded as a successful retreat.

But the same intuition told him that if he didn't find out the mystery of the disappearance of the staff here, he might pay a price later.

However, continuing to investigate represents danger.

Ethan took out a coin, the metal coin in his treasured hometown, the face value is not big, but he earned it through his own efforts, neither stealing nor snatching, it is of great significance.

'If it's heads, I'll go in and have a look, if it's tails, I'll go. '

Throwing the coin, the brass-colored coin suddenly appeared in the air, and disappeared suddenly with a snapping sound.

Ethan took a careful look, then covered his palm, put it back in his pocket, and walked into the underground facility full of weirdness without hesitation.

Chapter 379

After choosing to enter the underground facility, Ethan's footsteps became much more stable, and his heart was not as flustered as before.

What people fear most is the unknown. He didn't know what happened in this underground facility before, but now he knows that there are intruders here.

On the premise that the intruder is a human being, Ethan has some psychological coping methods—as long as he is not discovered.

The corridor was empty, but the surrounding doors were wide open. It seems that the people who invaded the underground facilities did not have the habit of closing the doors this time, which made Ethan a lot easier, but he didn't need to work hard to open the doors.

He doesn't have the Originium skills like the boss. Sliding doors and picking locks is a skill for him. He still has a little bit of experience with ordinary iron gates blocking the road. These doors here look very powerful. I really don't have any confidence.

He didn't choose to explore the past one by one. His mission is to investigate, not to search. The exploration work here should be left to the follow-up troops. Now he is eager to know what happened under the tampered surveillance equipment.

According to memory, Ethan was moving forward slowly, careful not to make a certain sound, after all, those intruders were probably nearby.

'The smell of blood...'

Living in this chaotic world, everyone can distinguish the rusty bloody smell, and who has confiscated injuries several times?

But the smell of blood was too strong, and Ethan slowed down again. The strong smell of blood was not a good sign.

This room was open like the other rooms, and not only did the smell of blood come out, there were also dried dark blood stains at the door of the room.

Ethan approached the door and didn't go in rashly. He didn't want to get blood on the soles of his shoes. In that case, being invisible would be meaningless.

Looking sideways into the door, his pupils suddenly narrowed, and he almost didn't cry out. He covered his mouth and backed away slowly, until he leaned against the wall, then let go of his hand and panted slowly.

Inside the room were layers of corpses, all in uniform-looking clothes, and they might have all been staff here.

Their death conditions were not miserable, perhaps they could be called serene, probably because they never thought that they would die before they died, and the death process was painless, and they were fatally struck by a quick and decisive blow.

Ethan was a little puzzled. Logically speaking, the people who worked in this underground facility, not to mention the civil servants of Longmen, had at least some relationship. Then who killed all these people.

Integration movement?Unlikely, this underground facility showed no signs of being forcibly attacked, and various traces and evidence could also show that this was an unexpected attack, and even the attacked did not think that they would be attacked in the end.

If we really want to talk about infiltration, what kind of virtues are the ghosts of the integration movement? Ethan himself doesn't know.
