Indescribable cyberpunk

A huge excavator was parked outside the camp, and a dozen staff in federal government uniforms were busy moving supplies nearby.

Someone is sitting on the top of the mound next to the machine, with her slender legs pressed against the mound under her feet. Her short, refreshing hair cut to her ears is flying in the mountain wind at night. Her beautiful face is half facing the moonlight. There are people beside her. She was holding a can of light blue energy drink and a pack of popular snacks in her hand. If she couldn't see her current actions, many people might fall in love with her.

The flat potato chips that were originally oval shapes were bitten into triangles by her, and then they were held in her hands like darts. She swung them out with a small swing of her wrists and went straight to Zhu Jue's face.

"You bastard, I thought you were dead. Olivia is also a bastard. I am so kind to her in vain. I helped her transfer from the Abnormality Bureau to the Archaeological Association, but now she hides it from me. !”

Chu Yun looked at the guy in front of him with a face full of annoyance. Now she finally understood why Olivia was so evasive when she saw her the day before yesterday. But while she was mumbling and complaining, her eyes remained on him and the cat beside him. body, as if to confirm that this was not his hallucination.

Zhu Jue soon confirmed this for her.

He raised his hand to take the triangular potato chips thrown by her, and threw it back with his backhand. The speed was faster, and it was also a boomerang. After a long circle, it hit Chu Yun directly on the back of the head.

It's not very powerful.

"Go to hell, I shouldn't have dragged you along just now, and let you be discovered by those two people from the Archaeological Association headquarters, and then dragged out and beaten!"

He grabbed a handful of potato chips and smashed them over, hoping to win by quantity. However, all the potato chips stagnated in mid-air in front of Zhu Jue, and then lined up to enter his mouth.

This scene made Chu Yun's face darken again.

I'm so angry, but what should I do if I can't beat him?

"If we are really discovered, I will drag those two out and beat them up. After all, it has been five years, and you are still the same, whether it is personality or other things, you know."

Zhu Jue glanced at Chu Yun, made a pun, and changed his words before the latter broke out and prepared to fight him desperately,

"Before reminiscing about old times, can you first talk about rescuing Olivia? I was planning to enter the underground ruins with the Archaeological Association team, but you grabbed my wrist and dragged me out. I missed the opportunity!"

"You are a member of the Archaeological Association now. Don't you know what happened just now? If you really raise your hand, not only will you not be allowed to join the rescue team, but you will also be investigated later. In the Archaeological Association for so many years, even these things have not Do not you know?"

Swallowing back the "words of quality" that came to his lips, Chu Yun's eyes paused for a moment on the certificate on Zhu Jue's chest. He subconsciously thought that Zhu Jue had joined the Archaeological Association a long time ago and asked with a frown.

"I haven't joined the Archaeological Association for more than a month. How can I possibly know what you are talking about?"

Zhu Jue explained, and then asked a little strangely.

"According to some information I have read in the Abnormality Bureau, there are factional problems within the entire Archaeological Association. Didn't you notice that the two investigation team members who came from the association headquarters each selected no more than 5 people? , not because of their abilities, but because these people should be in the faction compared to you, so they were selected. The other association members didn't say a word because of this, so I said you just raised your hand. It will expose your identity, which is why I held you back!"

Chu Yun has not been sleeping like Zhu Jue in the past five years. She has been regarded as an "old man" in the Yitiao Bureau since its establishment. In addition, her father is a senior official of the federal government and is considered a member of the system. Her current position is no longer what it was at the beginning. For the second-level inspection, the intelligence information that can be accessed is naturally completely different.

Zhu Jue suddenly remembered what August said before he came. Now it seems that the latter asked him to hide his identity not because of this illegal behavior of seeking power for personal gain, but to guard against those in the faction?

Long~~

As he was thinking about it, the ground beneath his feet suddenly began to shake. The trees on all sides that had not yet been flattened swayed and made a rustling sound. On the hills in the distance, there seemed to be rocks that had been broken due to excessive excavation during this period. They fell and made a muffled sound. .

Even though it was only a small shock, it still caused the people around to scream and inevitably caused a commotion, which even made the entire camp a little noisy.

"earthquake?"

Zhu Jue relied on his ability to lift his feet off the ground and asked Chu Yun, who was standing at the foot of the slope opposite him.

"This is already the fifth wave of tremors today. There was no warning, and the seismic detection equipment completely failed. What kind of earthquake do you think can cause this situation?"

Chu Yun was obviously used to this kind of sudden small-scale earthquake, but his face didn't look very good. After thinking about it, he continued,

"If nothing else, there should be some kind of creature under the ground in this area. It may not be the creature we know. In short, I have never seen such a big source of mental pollution."

If it were really an earthquake caused by underground creatures, then there is no doubt that it would be very large, and this is currently the only reason that can explain the continuous collapse of the channel.

"Let's not talk about this first. I don't have much time. Olivia is still buried underground. I am also planning to visit the underground ruins. I can't join the Archaeological Association's rescue team, so I can only use other methods. Method, I have to go back and get a clear picture of the underground situation."

Zhu Jue himself has the help of the scavenger. It is not impossible to go down, but it will be very troublesome. However, now that there is no better choice, he can only do this.

"Who said there is only the Archaeological Association's rescue team? Didn't you hear clearly just now? The rescue team formed by those two people is not to rescue Olivia, their target is the archaeological team!"

The reason for stopping Zhu Jue was naturally that she had a better solution. After taking a sip of the energy drink, Chu Yun said in a deep voice,

"The rescue of those two rescue teams is the responsibility of our people."

There are currently three teams buried underground. The second rescue organized by the Archaeological Association without any hesitation ranked the rescue of the archaeological team as the first priority.

However, although the rescue force here is sufficient, it is not sufficient enough to form three to four rescue teams in a short period of time. Therefore, the Archaeological Association's original intention was to let the two underground teams find their own way. , after all, judging from the final information return, they still retain a certain degree of mobility.

However, as Olivia's friend and one of the leaders of the federal government in this rescue mission, Chu Yun proposed that the federal government be responsible for this task. The reason is easy to find. It is simply to deepen the cooperation between the two parties. Official rhetoric such as showing sincerity.

The federal government was willing to work without asking for anything in return. Naturally, the Archaeological Association would not refuse and agreed without saying a word. All they had to do was make a banner and send it to Chu Yun.

"You can come down with me later. I have only one request. I also want to go in and take a look at these underground ruins!"

Today's Chu Yun is no longer the arbitrary inspector she used to be. She represents the interests of the federal government to a certain extent. Such a high-profile help must be rewarded.

Compared with the Archaeological Association's gratitude or any banners, the federal government obviously also wants something more practical.

What Chu Yun said was the fifth wave of tremors today.

For people on the ground, this may be the fifth time they huddled under the table, the fifth time they fell to the ground, or the fifth time they started thinking about why they didn’t bring five items and more when they participated in this task. Lots of panties.

But for people underground, this number is undoubtedly shocking.

It was already evening when Olivia led the team into the underground, so she only experienced two of the five tremors, but it still caused huge trouble.

The rescue aircraft was stuck between an underground void and a blocked passage. The second burst of tremors caused a large number of rocks to fall, causing secondary damage to the rescue aircraft.

"The power thruster of the third section was damaged twice, the headlight was damaged, and the No. 1 solution storage tank leaked. FUCK!!!"

The mechanic wore a repair light on his head, looked at the data on the rescue machine panel, and finally punched the rock wall next to him helplessly.

The underground space was already quiet, so the mechanic's voice reached the empty floor as expected.

"Fortunately, we chose to stay in this underground void before, otherwise I'm afraid it would have been completely buried by now."

With lingering fear, Joseph found a fairly flat stone to sit down on and whispered.

He is among those who support repairing the rescue aircraft in situ.

"We have to find a way to withdraw. You heard the sound just now. The guy is nearby. We can't take any more risks."

The people who had previously asked to join this rescue mission on the ground knew in their hearts that there would be risks involved, but no one expected that the risks would be so great, and that they would come so unexpectedly, that they had not even seen the archaeological team. into risk.

The risks far outweigh the rewards, and if you continue, you will be in trouble with yourself.

Everyone in the basement had this sentence written on their faces.

"I'll go over and ask about the situation."

Joseph didn't want to wait here. He stood up and walked towards the entrance of the underground void where the rescue plane had crashed. After finding the mechanic, he asked,

"How long will it take to repair these broken places?"

"If it is a complete repair, it will take at least a few hours, but I am not prepared to do that. As long as the solution storage tank and power thruster used to open the channel are repaired, we can go back."

Joseph and the mechanic stood on one side and communicated, and everyone, including Olivia, listened carefully.

This time no one stepped forward to move on to the rescue.

Olivia reached into her neck and took out the old seal she had obtained from Zhu Jue before.

Slightly hot.

I don't know if it's because of the body temperature or something else.
