Indescribable cyberpunk

Coming out of a shopping mall in the old city, Zhu Jue, who had restored his original appearance, stepped on the scavenger's transformed skateboard, opened his umbrella, kicked the ground with his right foot, and used the recoil to enter the ruins of Yecheng.

The lead-gray clouds have been pressing down since just now. As the light becomes darker and darker, the rain also continues to increase. The rain curtain in the sky separates this once prosperous city that is now a desolate ruin from the gray sky. catch.

The day of disaster finally ended with intensive bombing covering the whole city. Two-thirds of the buildings in Yecheng were destroyed. Very few buildings were completely preserved. Some of the high-rise buildings that once symbolized the crystallization of human wisdom were broken at the waist. It crashed into a building of almost the same height on the other side, forcibly building a huge sky bridge; some were simply bombed in half, while the other half of the building that remained in place was forced to show its beauty to the world. Although there was not even a single spectator in the internal structure; there were also two or three holes blown out of the base, as if the storm could completely crush it if it was just a little bit stronger.

The lens shrinks, the panoramic mode of the picture viewed from a high altitude continues to zoom in, and the smart drone enters the target locking mode.

In the telecommunications station, everyone rushed to the second floor. They were paying attention to the actions of team leader Olivia, for fear that something would happen to her. They had to admit that this cold beauty who survived the disaster in Yecheng had undoubted strength. .

Clean obstacles to climb, bold and bold hiding, and occasionally one-shot kills for those infected humans who haven't had time to mutate yet.

In five years, her fighting ability has not only not weakened, but has become stronger under the stimulation of the crisis that year.

"This is too cool~"

The girl standing in the middle of the crowd seemed to remember the current situation and quickly covered her mouth.

"Where are you looking? Our team leader's picture is on the left!"

The girl's colleague said in surprise. He noticed that the former's eyes were always on the right.

"Ah? On the left. Who is the person in the picture on the right?"

Obviously, she had been seeing the wrong picture.

The conversation between the two of them caused some people to turn their attention to screen No. 6.

There is a black spot in the picture that is crossing the old city at an extremely fast speed. The collapsed and broken buildings in the outer city and the stacked stone ruins indicate the danger of this area with their angular edges. You can even see it from an overhead perspective. Many infected humans are wandering among them.

But that man seemed to have a detection radar. His route perfectly avoided all the monsters. The skateboard under his feet was so flexible that it was unreasonable. Not only did he change directions wantonly among the ruins, but he also occasionally encountered ruins blocking the road. You can always find a slope and jump over it with people and skateboards.

All it takes is two mid-air flips and it can be sent directly to the skateboard competition for scoring!

"Is there anyone near me?"

Olivia's voice came through the microphone in the telecommunications station, and she seemed sure that there should be someone near her.

"Report to the team leader, there are two infected humans in front of you on the left, and there is an infected beast behind the ruins on the right."

Zhang Ming thought she was asking about the surrounding situation, and immediately reported the report based on the real-time footage taken by a high-altitude drone.

"I asked if there was anyone!"

Olivia interrupted him directly, emphasizing the word "human".

"Uh no."

"No?"

Olivia hesitated for a moment, then asked again,

“Did the drone capture anyone who should be near the outer city area now?”

"There is one. He is almost at the bridge connecting the outer city area to the central area of ​​Yecheng."

"asshole."

"What?"

Zhang Ming seemed to have heard his team leader curse, and there was a hint of coquettishness in his tone?

"Keep an eye on him and report his location to me at any time!"

The voice returned to calmness, as if the person who spoke just now was not her at all.

Raindrops fell on the umbrella surface, sliding continuously along the ribs, forming a rain curtain beside Zhu Jue.

Looking at the completely locked passage No. 13 in front of him, he jumped to the top of it with a light jump, stepping on the surface that was washed away by heavy rain, revealing a lot of scratches.

Obviously, this place has been visited by those monsters.

The passage kept out all the people, but it gave those monsters a more direct way to pass.

It's ridiculous to think about it.

Keep going for about twenty minutes.

Zhu Jue finally arrived at his destination on this trip.

Looking up at the mottled building in front of him, in Zhu Jue's memory, he had only been away for a few months, and everything in front of him told him.

His few months were a little too long

Zhu Jue did not choose to go up from the building, but directly took off his shoes, threw away the umbrella in his hand, and walked up at a right angle to the building.

The Ancient One's Crystal retains all of Zhu Jue's original abilities and completely transforms them into Zhu Jue's own abilities, so now he can use them as instinctively.

Staring directly at the falling lines of rain, Zhu Jue did not take any cover, and was still soaked by the rain.

Occasionally, if rainwater drips into the eyes, it will turn into ice crystals in an instant and automatically disperse to both sides. Looking at the gloomy sky, Zhu Jue feels the desolation and loneliness in this ruined city.

It has been here alone for five years, and it must have endured this panicking feeling of nothingness every day, right?

Finally standing outside the floor-to-ceiling window of the weird studio, Zhu Jue lowered his head and looked at the room that was no different from the one before he left.

Stomping his feet, the glass shattered, and the scavenger turned into a rope of sand to drag him into the room.

The door is still closed.

Buzz~~~

The buzzing in his head warned him that there was a powerful monster here.

Stepping on the shards of glass and walking toward the door, Zhu Jue didn't actually need to sense it. Zhu Jue had already heard the crazy roar outside the door that shook the entire floor.

Is it angry?

It does have the right to be outraged.

It can even be said that no one in the world is more qualified to be angry at Zhu Jue, because it was Zhu Jue who "abandoned" it for five full years.

But the reality is that Zhu Jue didn't hear a trace of anger in those roars.

He would rather that the little beast he raised would smash the door with one claw, rush in and bite his body, even if it bites off an arm or a leg, he would not have any resistance.

The silver giant beast appeared beside Zhu Jue at some point, with his head drooped. He wanted to rush to the door a little anxiously, but he raised his paw and did not dare to press it.

Zhu Jue stepped forward, looked at the switch beside the door, raised his hand and smashed it completely with a punch.

The door has been locked for nearly five years and can be opened at any time.

Zhu Jue turned around and sat against the wall. When he finally got here, he realized that he didn't dare to face the existence behind the door.

Even if he kept telling himself on the way here that it was an accident and did not depend on his will, what he had experienced could not be erased with an understatement of "accident".

When Zhu Jue hesitated, the door of the weird studio was pushed open through a gap.

The huge terrifying figure outside the door was vaguely reflected in the weird studio, and then gradually shrank in a strange distortion. This is the special ability of some monsters that are the source of mental pollution - amorphous bodies!

It is very difficult for it to control this ability, so it only gives itself a shape.

Not long after, a gray ball of fur squeezed in from the door, its dark golden eyes looking into those black pupils.

Ouch~ow~

He trotted happily into Zhu Jue's arms without any change in his tone, and used his forehead to rub Zhu Jue's chin.

The wind chimes called softly.

As if to say nothing has changed.

It's still what it is.

"Hey, you guy."

The previous worries completely disappeared at this moment. Zhu Jue grinned and kneaded the soft flesh of the wind chime's neck.

Only then did Zhu Jue realize that he was actually overthinking it, and he was the only one waiting for the wind chime.

It doesn’t matter if it’s him five years ago or five years from now.

He is still himself.

"Come on, let's get our things and go home!"

With a smile on his face, he stood up and opened the door. Zhu Jue glanced at the corridor. The shock flashed in his eyes. Then he subconsciously lowered his head to look at the wind chime in his arms that kept making a comfortable purring sound. He pursed his lips and walked to the side. Safe passage, he said as he walked,

"You seem to have a big appetite. Fortunately, I have money and can afford to support you."

The entire corridor behind him was covered with giant skeletons.

Go up the safe passage, use the Mikazuki sword to open the door directly, and scan the room with your eyes.

"Go and see if the bathroom still works. I want to give you a bath."

Put the wind chime on the ground and let it go to the bathroom to waterproof it. Zhu Jue walked to the bedroom. He had to go to the safe to take out things first.

But the longer he stayed in this room, the more Zhu Jue felt that something was wrong.

When he bent down and started to enter the safe password, he suddenly remembered that his android butler was missing.

"Perhaps he left by himself when disaster struck?"

Thinking about it, it seems that this is the only possibility. The "Omnic Law" allows bionic people to ensure their own safety in the event of a crisis, so Wendy's departure is not that difficult to understand. Zhu Jue didn't think much about it. Anyway, what he was looking for this time was just wind chimes.

Ouch~

The sound of wind chimes came from outside, mixed with the sound of splashing water.

He took out the "Book of Degian", three bags of gems, and the two silver pots along with several bundles of spare cash, and even opened the two silver pots to check the liquid in them.

Zhu Jue originally thought that these might also be beneficial to his mental strength, but in the end, there was no special reaction. The Nian Beast (silver giant beast) did not appear, and seemed to have no interest in these dark yellow liquids.

Slightly disappointed, Zhu Jue stuffed the two small pots into a spare backpack in his bedroom. When Zhu Jue went to check the gems in the bag, his movements froze.

The mind beast seems to be quite interested in these gems.
