Embers Ad Infinitum

The sudden depression quickly disappeared, and Jiang Baimian and others quickly returned to normal.

Although Long Yuehong was still afraid and didn't want to go further into the "City Intelligent Network Control Center", she felt that she could still take a risk for the sake of Qiao Chu, who was as good as an angel.

Because Qiao Chu was going to wear a military exoskeleton device, he had already taken off his mechanical watch and put it in his pocket. However, this did not affect his ability to know what time it was, because the goggles that doubled as a display screen had corresponding time.

He glanced at the lower right corner of the goggles, silently calculated the time when "Charming" would change, and quickly urged:

"Let's go to the underground computer room."

This time, Shang Jianyao and others no longer had any objections. They followed the commissioner of the Eighth Research Institute, bypassed the pool, and came to the front of the building where the "Urban Intelligent Network Control Center" is located.

The door here is made of glass. I don't know when it has been opened, or it has not been closed since the destruction of the old world. In short, the wide and dark hall inside is directly revealed.

Qiao Chu didn't rush in and used the "comprehensive early warning system" to observe outside for ten or twenty seconds.

Then, he bent slightly and rushed towards the elevator.

Jiang Baimian and others followed closely behind, always maintaining their tactical formation.

During this process, there was only the sound of the metal frame colliding with the ground and the sound of their not-so-heavy footsteps echoing in the hall. There was no other movement, and there was a dead silence.

Soon, they arrived at the elevator.

There are three gray-black elevators on the left and right sides here.

Of course, none of this works because there is no electricity.

Qiao Chu's target was not the elevator, but the safety passage door next to it.

This vermilion wooden door is a bit rotten and is quietly closed at this time. I don't know if it is locked or not.

Bai Chen was about to take a few steps forward to open the door for Qiao Chu, when he suddenly had some strange understanding in his heart.

Behind that door, there is something extremely precious that must be obtained!

This gave her an uncontrollable strong desire and impulse to open the door immediately, rush to the predetermined location, and pick up the item.

Not only her, but Qiao Chu, Long Yuehong and others also had similar feelings, and they all couldn't wait to get closer to the door.

Jiang Baimian frowned slightly and shouted:

"Do you still remember what Wu Shoushi's teammates described?"

She was referring to the "higher unintentional ones" who create temptations and set traps.

It was precisely because she remembered this incident that she was not completely blinded, and was able to resist the inexplicable cognition to a certain extent.

Her feet were eager to move forward, and her body was already in a charging posture, but her whole body was still firmly fixed in place, without taking a step.

Her words awakened some sense in Qiao Chu and others, causing them to struggle briefly without opening the door directly.

At this time, Shang Jianyao, who was at the rear, had already ran over, but instead of continuing forward, he stopped next to Jiang Baimian.

"I think there are secrets there that can save all mankind." He said seriously, "However, such secrets must be under layers of protection, and there are many dangers hidden around them."

For a moment, Jiang Baimian didn't know whether to roll his eyes or praise him.

"We must be careful and not be reckless." Shang Jianyao followed this train of thought and thought for two seconds.

Then, he jumped in front of an elevator, and with the help of the metal mirror effect and the moonlight and starlight shining through the window, he saw his unclear image.

Looking into his own eyes, Shang Jianyao said:

"Jiang Baimian has long legs, and I also have long legs.

"Jiang Baimian is very powerful, and so am I.

"so?"

His eyes turned dark without knowing when, his mouth opened, and he whispered to himself:

"So, we are the same."

During this process, Qiao Chu originally wanted to stop it, but on the one hand, he had to fight against the inexplicable and strong desire and was distracted. On the other hand, he felt that Shang Jianyao could make some different changes and break the current situation, and he had some expectations. , so, in the end, I chose to be prepared and sit on the sidelines.

After "deceiving" himself, Shang Jianyao turned his head and looked at Jiang Baimian.

His eyes became darker and darker.

Jiang Baimian suddenly had a strong thought in his heart:

"Although I am very eager for the item behind the door and want to get it, I must not show such urgency or say it directly. This will make me embarrassed!"

As soon as the thought flashed, Jiang Baimian half-turned around and lightly stamped his foot:

"You want to go, you go, I won't go."

Shang Jianyao turned to the same place and lightly tapped his foot:

"You want to go, you go, I won't go."

Seeing this scene, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong felt weird, shocked, and funny.

Suddenly, the strong desire in their hearts was diluted a lot.

Jiang Baimian, who was still in a pretentious state, glared at Shang Jianyao:

"Why do you want to imitate me?"

"Why do you want to imitate me?" Shang Jianyao imitated everything from his eyes, language to micro-expressions perfectly.

At this time, Jiang Baimian's pretentious state receded.

Recalling the scenes just now, she couldn't help laughing:

"Do you want to fight against that inexplicable knowledge and desire by laughing us to death?"

"You want to fight against that inexplicable knowledge and desire by laughing us to death?" Shang Jianyao laughed.

The corner of Qiao Chu's mouth moved slightly when he saw it, and he subconsciously wanted to warn them in a deep voice to tell them to be more serious.

This is the Intelligent Network Center in the ruins of the city. There are dangers everywhere here, and the silence here is eerie. How can we have fun and laughter?

Jiang Baimian thought for two seconds, and then said with a smile:

"My hair is long and your hair is short."

"My hair is very long..." Shang Jianyao repeated this point and suddenly couldn't continue.

His eyes returned to normal.

"Take this opportunity," he said immediately.

Jiang Baimian suddenly woke up, and before that inexplicable desire had time to corrode him again, he quickly came to the vermilion double wooden door.

"Go to both sides." She ordered Bai Chen, Long Yuehong and others as she grasped the rusty metal handle.

After waiting for a few seconds, Jiang Baimian suddenly turned the handle and pushed open the door.

Without any space, she jumped and rolled and hid next to the elevator.

Bang bang bang! Da da da!

Continuous gunshots came from below and above the stairs, and a storm of bullets enveloped the space at the entrance to the safe passage.

If Long Yuehong and others had opened the door recklessly, they would have been beaten into pieces by now.

——Qiao Chu was controlled by that strong and weird desire, and completely forgot to use the "comprehensive early warning system" that came with the exoskeleton device.

Amidst the sound of gunfire, Jiang Baimian took off the tactical grenade hanging on his armed belt, prepared to tear off the ring and throw it towards the safety passage gate.

She had calculated the trajectory and wanted to use the rebound from the wall to make the grenade fall down the stairs.

At that point, the shooting stopped.

Jiang Baimian silently hung up the tactical grenade, holding the grenade gun in one hand and the "United 202" in the other, focusing on sensing various electrical signals in the safe passage.

"The 'unintentional ones' above have retreated. There is interference below. The signal is not so clear, but there are only two left at most..." Soon, Jiang Baimian gave the message.

At this time, the inexplicable knowledge and desire that something precious was hidden in the safe passage and must be obtained as soon as possible had disappeared, and Qiao Chu completely returned to normal.

He relied on the exoskeleton device and the "comprehensive early warning system" to roll and enter the safe passage.

Deep in the stairs leading to the underground machine room, a figure was looking up.

This is a woman who looks relatively young and has neat facial features, but her eyes are more white than black, quite turbid, and full of bloodshot eyes.

She is about 1.65 meters tall, wearing a deflated white down jacket. She is tidied up from top to bottom much cleaner than other "careless people".

She stood quietly in the deeper darkness, like a ghost wandering in the night, silently watching the target she wanted to kill.

If it weren't for the "comprehensive early warning system", Qiao Chu wouldn't be able to see her clearly.

Before Qiao Chu could launch the grenade, the "unintentional man" pressed down with one hand, jumped down, and disappeared deep into the stairs.

"Is it the 'Higher Unintentional Person' that Wu Shoushi and the others met?" Jiang Baimian approached the entrance and asked.

Qiao Chu nodded lightly and said:

"Um."

"Huh, sure enough." Jiang Baimian breathed out.

At this time, Long Yuehong sighed as if he had spent the rest of his life:

"Fortunately, the 'Careless Ones' don't have any IQ. If they had just shot directly without waiting for us to open the door, at least half of us would have died."

The vermilion double wooden doors cannot stop bullets.

But in the eyes of the "unintentional people" who follow their instincts, obstacles seem to be just obstacles that must wait to be removed.

"Don't say such words now, it's unlucky." Bai Chen glanced sideways at Long Yuehong.

Long Yuehong was always particularly sensitive when hearing words such as "lucky", "unlucky", "unlucky", and "fate", and she closed her mouth tightly when she heard the words.

Qiao Chu glanced at the dark stairs ahead and said in a deep voice:

"Go down."

He paused and then ordered:

"You go ahead."

It’s time to put the bait into play.
