Abyssal Wanderer

Chapter 130 NO.0081: Newcomers and Receiving Bullets

Jiang Zhou had thought carefully before, what kind of social ecology will be formed by those wanderers who are trapped in the abyss and dark net.

The stand-in program does not need to eat, and it will not be sick or aging; although it will truly simulate the fatigue and sleepiness of the real body, it is only limited to the feeling-the purpose is only to remind the roamers not to be high-intensity for a long time Tighten your nerves to reduce mental stress.

These elements, coupled with the fact that Narcissus Plains do not have the threat of rogue malware. It can be said that for wanderers trapped in the abyss and dark net, as long as the safety of the body in the base reality is not considered, this place can definitely be regarded as a real data utopia.

And just as human consciousness is the reflection of its material body, the social form of a society is also the reflection of each individual's life goals. According to the logic of development, these wanderers living in the Narcissus Plain should spontaneously form some kind of unprecedented social form.

However……

Jiang Zhou, who hid his figure at the side, silently observed the guards approaching in his direction.

Each of them was wearing full-cover riot armor, and the one-way light goggles on the helmet made Jiang Zhou unable to see each other's appearance clearly.

In their hands, each held a stun baton that was constantly flashing with lightning, and a subsonic non-lethal gun hung from their waists where they could touch it as soon as they stretched out their hands.

When they marched, their footsteps were extremely cautious, and they covered each other's blind spots, as if they were facing an enemy.

In addition, the last person walking in the team has an obvious captain's logo on his helmet. During their advance, he had been directing the formation of the crowd.

Hmm... It is basically certain that among these people, there is not only a social division of labor, but also a clear order of superiors and subordinates.

Jiang Zhou came to such a preliminary conclusion.

But it shouldn't be like this...

He can understand that Wanderers will most likely live in groups—after all, human beings are collective animals with a natural need for socializing. However, without the limitation of living materials, the wanderers who stay here should not have social division of labor and the need to establish a leadership order...

Could it be that there are armed conflicts between different Wanderer settlements?

Jiang Zhou thought of another possibility.

In addition to collecting survival resources, there is another reason for human beings to accept the power order - the need to jointly deal with the threat of foreign enemies.

Considering the reverberation of the female substitute who followed her along the way, it is very likely that she was killed many times before her consciousness was finally wiped out. Jiang Zhou speculates that these people will form a social division of labor and a superior-subordinate order, possibly because they have to deal with attacks from other wanderers.

But soon, he himself denied this conjecture.

Because if this is the case, then the armed forces carried by these guards would seem too childish—they are just some non-lethal weapons, which are not enough to suppress workers’ demonstrations. If there is a life-and-death conflict, the things in their hands can be said to be completely insufficient.

In short, let's observe first...

Jiang Zhou, who was hiding aside, didn't think too much, but silently watched the guards get closer and closer.

When they finally surrounded the ghostly girl, the captain who had been at the end before stepped forward.

He looked at the translucent girl and said in surprise:

"Wandering soul? How long has it been since you ran away last time, why is it floating back?"

The man's voice sounded dull because of the filter.

"I don't know, boss... maybe she likes our place."

A guard closest to the captain said so.

"Qi... I thought there was a newcomer here. It's a pity... How long has it been since we held a carnival?"

At the same time, another guard next to him complained.

Along with his complaint, the people next to him also nodded in agreement.

"Okay, that's it!"

The captain raised his voice, interrupting everyone's chatter.

It wasn't until he confirmed that everyone's attention was on him that he continued:

"According to the procedure, it would be good to guide her into the city of sages first, and then hand it over to the 'Dionysus Bureau'. Although it is not as good as finding a newcomer, but finding a wandering spirit can still exchange for some wine. Holy shit."

"Look, we're home, we're home... we're done..."

The girl pointed at the city not far away, and her voice froze again like a broken repeater.

Everyone around nodded their heads when they saw this, and the captain immediately walked to the girl's side, waving his hand in front of her dull and bright eyes.

"Okay, okay, let's go home."

He greeted him in a tone as if coaxing a child.

But the girl ignored him at all, but turned her head to look at an empty place beside him—the place where Jiang Zhou was hiding.

"We're home, let's go back together."

As if she could see Jiang Zhou hidden there, she said again.

This made the latter feel bad.

"Huh? Don't these wandering spirits go with them? Doesn't it mean that as long as they meet a person who is still alive, they will be like brown sugar, and they will not be able to get rid of it?"

In this regard, a guard asked strangely.

"Usually that's the case."

The captain stopped his other actions as he spoke, and drew the subsonic non-lethal gun from his waist.

Then, following the wandering soul's gaze, he pointed the gun at the blank space that seemed to be empty.

"Generally speaking, there is another possibility... It is possible that this ghost did not wander back by itself, but came back with someone."

Said the captain.

Then, he decisively pulled the trigger in the direction of Jiang Zhou.

"Snapped……"

The rubber bullet propelled by the low-intensity gunpowder fired from the short muzzle without making much noise.

Thin flames and indifferent gunpowder smoke shot out immediately after the bullet, but their kinetic energy couldn't catch up with the bullet, and they just dissipated in mid-air like mist.

In fact, this kind of non-lethal weapon is not worth mentioning to Liao Qi's body. Even if the power is increased five times, it will only be enough to spend some of his plastic steel armor under the skin.

Jiang Zhou could even just stand here and let the opponent empty out an entire magazine. To him, this kind of subsonic rubber bullet was no different from a water gun bullet.

But now that he was discovered, Jiang Zhou planned to intimidate the other party first—this would help future exchanges.

Under the activation of adrenaline, everything around him slowed down in his eyes. When he was at depth 1, this super-high-speed reflex nerve often made him feel aggrieved that his movements could not keep up with his reactions.

However, after completing the Depth 2 adjustments, his body is fully capable of handling this feeling.

As if entering bullet time, Jiang Zhou saw clearly the trajectory of the subsonic bullet with his naked eyes, and saw how the bullet hit his chest.

Then, he gently made an "OK" gesture with his index finger and thumb, and easily twirled the bullet on his fingertips.

At the same time, he closed his concealment program—accompanied by a burst of subtle color changes, he appeared directly in front of many guards.

"Hi there."

Jiang Zhou twirled the bullet lightly, saying so in a calm tone.

It may be that the sudden change of life has stimulated the other party. The captain who had shot at himself earlier pulled the trigger continuously without saying a word, and emptied the magazine in less than two seconds.

"Crack, crack, crack, crack... Ka Ka Ka..."

An entire magazine was empty, leaving only the hollow echo of the trigger.

The target he was aiming at, Jiang Zhou, was just holding a small handful of rubber bullets that were still warm, and shrugged at everyone. Then he let the bullets slip through his fingers and bounce around like jellybeans on the ground.

No way, are these guys native people?

He caught all the bullets with ease, looking at the people who were stunned in place, Jiang Zhou thought so.

The other guards around the captain reacted quickly, and then took out their guns and pointed them at him—five in total, and Jiang Zhou didn't bother to take those bullets one by one like Dayinyou. After all, whether you dodge by yourself or ignore it with the subcutaneous armor, these things are not a threat at all.

But also at this time...

"Wait, wait! Put down the guns! He's a new guy!"

Said so to the captain who had played the whole shuttle to himself earlier.

Today, we will change one more day, and tomorrow we will resume two more changes. The family has been delayed by something in these two days.
