Indescribable cyberpunk

Pushing aside a layer of attachments mixed with yellow-green grass stems and dark green moss, Zhu Jue saw the invisible arrow on the surface of the stone.

"When I escaped there, I would leave a mark every once in a while so that I could go back one day."

Fumbling with his thumb for the slightly crooked arrow, Flo pursed his lips and looked in the direction pointed by the arrow.

"I didn't expect that I would have been waiting for this day for three years."

Zhu Jue held the horse, looked up at the light red sky in the jungle, pulled the reins to bring the horse behind him closer to him, and asked aloud: "There is one thing I am curious about. When entering the valley, On the way, you told me that you were the one person in a hundred. In that case, you must be very valued by the cult. Why did those who were abandoned stay in the villages and towns, but you were able to leave?"

Before entering the valley, Flo's mental state seemed to have some problems, so Zhu Jue suppressed his curiosity. Now that he has recovered, he mentioned it again. "

"Does Mr. Bruce know about One Thousand and One Nights?"

After covering the mark again with moss, Flo turned to look at Zhu Jue and asked.

"Uh, fairy tale?"

Zhu Jue got tired of reading this kind of storybook when he was in elementary school. In his childhood, this was considered an entertainment item comparable to today's digital products.

"It seems that Mr. Bruce has read it. It is said that this collection of stories tells that there was a small country in ancient times. King Shanruyar was cruel and jealous by nature. He killed the queen because of her misbehavior. After that, he married a girl every day and the next morning He killed her immediately as a sign of revenge. In order to save the innocent woman, Scheherazade, the daughter of the prime minister, voluntarily married the king and attracted the king by telling stories. She told the most exciting part every night, and it was just dawn, which made the king unbearable. Kill and allow her to continue telling the story the next night. And her story has been told for one thousand and one nights. The king was finally moved and grew old with her."

Flo believes that her own experience is similar to this story.

"You mean you used the knowledge in the dream to get close to the leader of the cult, and then developed some special relationship with her or him?"

Zhu Jue's focus is obviously somewhat biased.

".Your understanding is too straightforward."

Flo, who felt helpless at someone's understanding, sighed, turned around and took out two pairs of full-face Bluetooth headphones from the left and right sides of the backpack, handed one pair to Zhu Jue, and then said,

"In that village, every once in a while, the high tower in the center of the town will play some sounds, which will cause mental hypnosis for everyone, and people will fall into their own wonderful delusions. Initially, it was because of an unexpected dream. , I fell into a dream when I was speaking on the radio. What’s funny is that this dream that has harmed me to this day really saved me at that time.”

Speaking of this, Flo casually picked a blade of grass next to him. He didn't know whether it was because of the peculiar smell of the plant branches or leaves or some emotion in his heart that made his face full of bitterness.

He hated those dreams, but those dreams made him the only sober person in the town.

What happens next can be easily guessed.

After witnessing how other people in the town went crazy, Flo realized what kind of ridiculous situation he was in. He chose what all normal people would choose and found a way to escape from the town.

"You have company."

Zhu Jue said this very firmly, he was sure of it.

"Of course, companions are essential. It was impossible for me to escape from there alone. There were two other people besides me. I found a way to block their ears and imprison them in the basement of the town. Finally, they have the same awakening as me, and the parchment in your hand is the result of one of them paying for it with his life."

When talking about this matter, there was no obvious emotion on Flo's face, and he was as calm as if he was describing the marks on the stone.

Some pain cannot be expressed in words, and every time it is revealed, it is a secondary trauma that is difficult to heal.

Zhu Jue stopped this topic. He was not one of those unscrupulous reporters and had no interest in digging up other people's painful past. The two of them mounted their horses and continued to advance deeper into the valley.

Night falls very quickly.

When Zhu Jue was thinking about whether it would take a lot of energy for a horse to walk with mechanical legs, the sky was already dark.

"How much longer?"

According to Zhu Jue's idea, this kind of infiltration activity always has to be carried out late at night. He thought that Flo chose this time to enter the valley just to ensure that their infiltration was as hidden as possible.

"When I ran out of it, I spent about a day on the road. Excluding the time for hiding and resting, it took about 10 hours of walking. We rode horses and didn't stop from the moment we entered the valley. I think there were two more You can see the last mark I left in about an hour, it’s now 6 o’clock sharp, and when we arrive in the village, it should be 11 o’clock in the middle of the night.”

Flo had calculated this distance countless times in his mind. When Zhu Jue asked, he almost said it without thinking, and then said,

"We need to find a hidden place to hide the horse. We will use it when we escape later."

Speed ​​up to gain more time for action.

The night is getting darker and darker. Fortunately, in this valley area on a clear night, the moonlight and starlight are enough for people to see things within ten meters.

Flo bent down and searched among the piles of gravel in the forest. Because he did not dare to turn on the lighting, it took him a long time to find the stones that he had placed in a certain pattern. So he looked back at Zhu Jue and said, "This is the last mark. If we walk east for about an hour and a half from here, we can find the town. We can tie the horse here."

"What do you have in this backpack? It's bigger than my weapon box. Can it be carried for an hour and a half?"

Zhu Juegang tied the horse and looked at Flo's backpack casually placed beside the stone. Looking at its bulging appearance, he raised his hand to lift it. It weighed at least 25KG. Looking at Fu Flo's body, he was a little suspicious of carrying such a heavy bag. Can he still move freely after walking for an hour and a half?

"There are things inside that can help people in the town wake up. Some of them are the Bluetooth headsets I just gave you. Some soothing songs have been downloaded in advance. Some of them are weapons. I plan to destroy the center of the town. broadcast tower, this weight is no problem for me, I did some strength training some time ago.”

Flo came over from the side and opened the zipper of the backpack, revealing a full-cover wireless Bluetooth headset that was exactly the same model as the one in Zhu Jue's hand.

"It's a great idea, I'll help you."

At this time, Zhu Jue looked at Flo with more appreciation in his eyes. He had always admired those who still maintained certain valuable qualities after growing up in hardships.

There are not many such people in today's era. Among the people Zhu Jue knows, Qin Chengren is one of the people who said, "Someone has to tell others that shit doesn't taste good!" and so is the young man in front of him.

Times are often reluctant to help such people, but Zhu Jue is willing to help within his ability.

Hoo~ho~

The low roar of some kind of beast suddenly sounded in the jungle, interrupting their thoughts.

"Lower your head and hide behind those rocks. This kind of cry is not like that of an ordinary beast."

Zhu Jue put the weapon box aside, raised his hand and pressed it on Flo, telling him to find a place to hide first, pressed the button on the side of the weapon box, and took San Riyue in his hand.

The owner of the roar did not let Zhu Jue wait too long. Soon there was a chaotic sound coming from the bushes in front of him on the left.

Roar~

A ferocious beast jumped out from it, standing on the stone and shaking its head in all directions, as if it was looking for something. Zhu Jue's eyes tightened.

"What the hell is this?"

Looking at the giant wolf in front of me, which was about the same height as Flo when it was on all fours, its sharp metal claws proved that it was definitely not a wild animal.

"This is a genetically modified biochemical beast. The cult forces in this valley can use this beast to patrol. Its power is definitely extraordinary. Zhu Jue, you can't kill it. This guy must have a camera or a life sensing device on it. , as long as it dies, the people behind it will immediately know that something happened here, and if it is discovered, your whereabouts will be exposed immediately."

Li Qinglian's somewhat impatient voice came from the earphones. Zhu Jue grabbed the weapon box, turned over and landed directly next to Flo. The scavenger surged out of his body in an instant, completely covering the two of them.

"There has never been such a monster before."

Flo, who had just caught a glimpse of the giant wolf, gasped in the darkness.

"It should be a new method you added after escaping. Don't say anything, the scavengers will cover our breath."

Zhu Jue fully trusted the scavenger's ability to disguise himself. The government troops had not seen its disguise before, let alone such a beast with low intelligence.

Herod~

While the two were hiding, there was suddenly a neighing of frightened horses from outside, followed by a sound of tearing flesh mixed with the roar of wild beasts.

"Our horse is dead."

Flo couldn't help but whisper.

"Well, just die. Anyway, you won't need it later."

He responded with a strange tone.

In Zhu Jue's opinion, since he came here, he must have completely resolved the matter before leaving. Even if he doesn't have a horse, he just needs to walk a few more steps.

"Yeah, maybe it won't be needed."

For some reason, Flo followed silently.

About twenty minutes later, it became quiet outside. The scavenger told Zhu Jue that the giant wolf was far away, and the two came out of their hiding position.

"Fortunately, that guy didn't crush my wine, otherwise I would have chopped it up and kicked it as a ball when I got back from the job."

Picking up the two bottles of wine scattered on the ground, Zhu Jue threw one to Flo.

"Let's make a fuss and get ready to hit the road!"
