Indescribable cyberpunk

At an abandoned small telecommunications station somewhere outside Yecheng, several off-road vehicles with the emblems of the Monster Countermeasures Bureau and the Archaeological Association painted on the outside had just stopped.

The drizzle of rain has already fallen, and some of it hit the signal receiver on the top of the two-story building. After a while, a small puddle formed and fell down, and some of it was blown around by the wind because it had not been taken care of for a long time. Twisted water lines stretched out from the windows covered with dust.

"One group is responsible for unloading equipment and doing waterproofing work. We have no spare equipment and have to ensure that every machine can operate normally; the second group enters the telecommunications station and first uses the vehicle power supply to restore the internal computer operation; the Monster Countermeasures Bureau team is in the telecommunications station Set up a defense line outside the station to prevent monsters with mental pollution sources from breaking in!"

"clear!"

Following her instructions, this team of twenty people began to advance the mission process at an extremely fast speed.

Danger zone observation is a task that must be carried out at regular intervals in order to confirm the situation in the danger zone, collect information, and facilitate an accurate assessment of the current situation within the Archaeological Association, and then use these real-time updated assessments to evaluate the danger. Preliminary inspections will be carried out in cities surrounding the area.

Yecheng is an A-level dangerous area, and observation operations are the most frequent. A team from the Archaeological Association comes almost every two months, accompanied by a combat force from the Monster Countermeasures Bureau and some information personnel.

"Zhang Ming, as usual, this coordinate alone gives a picture."

After all the equipment in the car was transferred to the telecommunications station, she found her subordinate in the observation team and handed over a piece of paper with obvious folds.

The young man took the note and glanced at the team leader who was looking in the direction of Yecheng in a daze. His delicate and cold side face made him freeze in place, and he hesitated to take any steps.

"Do you still have any questions?"

Realizing that her subordinate was not doing anything, she turned around with a frown and asked.

"Team Leader Olivia, can I take the liberty to ask you why you still participate in this kind of observation mission? With your professional quality and your achievements in the past few years, you can definitely be promoted to the field investigation team. I know your ideals You are dealing with those monsters on the front line. In the past, forget it, you are free, but recently the Dawn City Archaeological Association is conducting field investigator assessments. If you leave the association at this time, it is equivalent to giving up the opportunity to others."

Following this cold beauty in front of him for nearly three years, Zhang Ming knew something about her. He didn't understand why Team Leader Olivia gave up such a good opportunity and came to a place like this to do this job. In fact, it didn't mean much. Meaningful work.

What made him even more frustrated was the coordinates on the note in his hand. From the first time they came here to observe, Olivia had to stare at the building for a long time almost every time, even though there was some dissatisfaction within the Archaeological Association. When good rumors come out, she still goes her own way.

"Does this have anything to do with you? If you feel there is no room for advancement under me, you can leave at any time."

Olivia didn't give any explanation to Zhang Ming, she just said calmly.

"I"

The emotionless look in the other party's eyes made Zhang Ming feel as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head. Everyone in the Archaeological Association knew that he was chasing her. Everyone thought that he was the first to win, and even he himself began to feel vague. Consider yourself the other person's invisible boyfriend.

All the assumptions were shattered by the other party's understatement at this moment.

It's just that he is used to it. The other person has been pursued a lot over the years. Almost everyone she has taken a liking to has failed in the end. Just like him now, he can only search in despair. The location of the coordinates.

"It's the year 2224."

Olivia looked at the gradually falling rain outside, whispered to herself, turned around and walked up to the second floor, watching the information personnel inside setting up equipment. China Unicom had already launched intelligent observation drones.

"The first round of testing is ready to begin, 3, 2, 1!"

"Power supply is functioning properly."

"The line connection is normal."

"Device starts normally."

As the green indicator light indicating normal operation continued to light up, the images captured by the approaching high-speed drone began to be displayed on the screen one by one.

At this point, half of the task has actually been completed. The rest is just waiting for these drones to collect the video data before calling it a day.

But Olivia was still standing conscientiously by the computer.

This is her last time to participate in the Yecheng dangerous zone assessment. As Zhang Ming said, her qualifications and abilities are enough for her to participate in the field investigation team of the Archaeological Association. In fact, she has received an internal letter from the Archaeological Association. If nothing else happens, when she returns this time, she will officially enter the real core department of the Archaeological Association and start to get in touch with the special side of the world.

If he were here, maybe he would be more qualified for this kind of job than himself, right?

This strange thought came to my mind inexplicably, and I looked at the building as before.

The silence remains.

The figure that had now begun to become blurry in her mind did not appear. With a subtle sigh, Olivia told herself in her heart that it was time to end it.

"Hey, look, someone appears in video No. 3!"

The sudden voice of the person sitting in front of the screen made Olivia turn her head subconsciously. On the screen, there was someone walking alone to the old town of Yecheng.

"Enlarge the screen immediately!"

Taking a step forward and holding the table with one hand, Olivia shouted. The excitement in her words made everyone around her look at her.

"He must be a desperate gold prospector. He actually dares to go to a place like Yecheng alone."

People from the Archaeological Association and the Monster Countermeasures Bureau, who often deal with dangerous areas, naturally know these guys who want money rather than their lives.

"Zoom in again, fly the drone directly over and stop in front of him!"

Olivia didn't listen to the people around her and just continued to order.

"Sir, our drone is for information collection, I understand!"

The person controlling the drone originally wanted to give some advice, but when he turned around, he saw a pair of eyes with a dangerous luster and immediately began to control the drone.

However, when the drone actually hovered in front of the opponent and captured his face on the screen, Olivia's originally tense body suddenly collapsed.

not him.

Both the body shape and the face were very different. Just one glance, and Olivia was convinced that the person on the screen was not him.

"Recover the drone."

He straightened up again and his excited expression became calm again.

The man in the picture seemed to have noticed the existence of the drone and looked up at it for a while, and even waved his hand to say hello.

"This guy's mentality is quite relaxed. He is already in the old town of Yecheng. What's going on when he encounters a monster that causes mental pollution later? Why is the picture gone?"

The picture that could still play clear images before suddenly turned into darkness. The person controlling the drone was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it must have been destroyed by the guy in the picture.

With a grimace, he wanted to look at the female team leader next to him. That was an aircraft worth hundreds of thousands, how could he afford to pay for it!

However, there was no Olivia's voice beside him. He could only vaguely hear the sound of car engines outside the telecommunications station.

"Team leader, what are you going to do?"

Zhang Ming, who had been paying attention to Olivia, ran downstairs when the former ran downstairs. He was even more shocked when he saw her starting the car, and subconsciously wanted to go to the passenger seat.

"You watch here, I have something very important to do!"

Olivia stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and made a beautiful flick. The white smoke emitted when the tires rubbed against the asphalt disappeared into the heavy rain.

Holding the steering wheel with both hands, Olivia recalled the location where the man appeared, which should be near the Second Avenue in the eastern old city. She called up the Yecheng map on her mobile phone and looked for the route closest to the Second Avenue from the central area of ​​Yecheng.

The second before the scene No. 3 disappeared, some yellow sand appeared in front of the camera!

Others might think it was sand blown by wind and rain, but she had seen that magical ball of sand and knew exactly what it was.

"No wonder your face and figure have become different. It must have been changed by the scavenger, right? After five years, you are finally willing to show up. Why today?"

If that person is Zhu Jue, he must have only one purpose in coming to Yecheng, and that is to find the wind chime that has been following him, but Olivia doesn't understand why Zhu Jue appears now and in this state.

Unknowingly, Olivia had already increased the speed of the car to the highest speed, racing along the completely smooth road towards the old town in the east of Yecheng.

When the outline of the city ahead continued to expand in front of her eyes, and the ringtone of her cell phone kept ringing, Olivia suddenly realized how outrageous her behavior was. Racing in a Class A dangerous zone was simply telling the nearby monsters that were the source of mental pollution that there was something here. Human existence.

There was no surprise. When Olivia came to her senses completely, the harsh shouts and shouts nearby announced that she had entered the territory of these monsters!

"Team leader, drive back quickly and circle back from the nearby area. We will be dispatched immediately to cover your retreat."

Although the observation team monitoring the scene through drones in the telecommunications station did not know that Team Leader Olivia suddenly drove towards Yecheng, this was their commander. If she died here, none of them would be present. Can escape from the relationship.

"You guys keep working, there's no problem with me."

Without letting go of the accelerator, Olivia continued to move forward according to the route displayed on her mobile phone. When the vehicle entered the old city, she immediately found an abandoned house and parked the vehicle. Before the mental pollution monsters surrounded her, she rushed over. He went into a nearby room and tried to hide his whereabouts.

At the same time, he took out his mobile phone and opened "TALK", clicked on the avatar that had been dark for 5 years, and sent a voice message.

"I'm behind you!"

The sounds of monsters running in the nearby ruins came from all directions, and Olivia shouted into the built-in microphone of her phone.

Zhu Jue, two blocks away, frowned as he looked at the message sent on his phone.

"Hmph, trying to deceive me is so childish!"

He stuffed his phone back into his pocket.

Pretend you didn't see anything.
