Chapter 541 Settlement (Happy New Year!)

The jet port was surging with light blue fire, and the beeping sound of the airship accelerating could be heard far away among the ruins of buildings.

The right side window of the airship was ajar.

The smaller half of the camera is placed against the edge of the window to take pictures of the surrounding environment.

"Be sure to find a secluded place so that no one can discover it. I don't want to come back after finishing my work and find that the airship is gone."

Zhu Jue leaned on the back seat of the airship, playing with the camera glasses Suzi bought, and using the lights in the car to check the operating requirements in the manual.

In the early morning, I got the news from Lin Godot that there was a polluted area in Community No. 40. Zhu Jue’s original intention was to come alone. After all, although Suzi and Gu Ginkgo’s strength was good compared to civilians, they obviously couldn’t help with these matters. He was busy, so he planned to leave Suzi and Gu Yingxing in Community No. 35 to provide support.

However, since he could neither pilot an airship nor understand the situation of the underlying community well enough, he could only bring two people with him, and also contacted Rona to let him pay attention to the movements of the Thousand Sail City government.

After wandering among the ruins for nearly half an hour, Suzi finally found a remote factory and landed.

After turning off the engine, he took out the car hood from the trunk and put it on. Before going out, Zhu Jue even blocked the open warehouse door and wrapped it twice with the chain he picked up inside before he felt relieved.

"This is about two kilometers away from North District 3. In order to avoid being discovered, we have to walk there."

Suzi checked the map and handed two flashlights into the hands of Zhu Jue and Gu Yinxing respectively. If he wanted to complete the goal of destroying the bone tree, it would be nonsense to just rely on imagination. He must conduct on-site investigation before he could make a decision. effective method.

Putting on his shooting glasses, which had built-in night vision capabilities, Zhu Jue put the flashlight back into Suzi's hands and wandered around the streets with his eyes.

Due to the obstruction of the upper community buildings and the current power outage, Community No. 40 was still in darkness and chaos even at noon.

The streets that used to extend in all directions under the feet are now in tatters, with uneven potholes and piles of stones and various debris blocking the view. Occasionally, the wind blows from somewhere on the street, bringing an unpleasant stench.

A few years ago, this city expanded to higher areas because of heavy pollution. Over the years, various environmental problems have accumulated, and they have even become more serious due to the dumping of garbage in high-rise communities.

The most intuitive sight is that the soil beside the road is still there, but there is no trace of greenery.

The broken branches and leaves are just a luxury here!

"From here to the contaminated area, will you pass through residential areas?"

Bending down to pick up the wind chime and carry it on his shoulder, Zhu Jue looked at Gu Yinxing and asked.

Different from densely populated normal communities, due to the harsh environment, the number of residents in low-level communities is only half that of other communities, let alone a place like Community No. 40. Ordinary residents will think about it if they have some savings. Go up as hard as you can.

Because of this, the permanent population of No. 40 Community, which ranks among the top in the entire Xiacheng District, is only about 300,000. Coupled with the harsh environment, most people will naturally choose to gather in some communities in order to ensure their lives. In a relatively normal area, the Qianfan City government is also happy with centralized management, which has led to the entire No. 40 community being divided into several large settlements.

Zhu Jue discussed this issue with Gu Yinxing before coming down.

"Our current location is close to settlement No. 5. I have been there before. It should be one of the few settlements in the entire No. 40 community that is in relatively good operating condition, but it is not on the route drawn by Miss Motoko. "

Gu Yinxing, who has been active in low-level communities in the past few years, is quite familiar with this matter. He glanced at the map on the audio-visual stick, raised his hand to click on a coordinate on it, and said.

"If we go to the settlement first and then turn to the contaminated area, how long will it take?"

"The distance from here to Settlement No. 5 is about 1.5 kilometers, and then from the settlement to the contaminated area is 2 kilometers."

"Suzi, lead the way, let's go to the settlement first!"

He motioned to Su Zi to go first. The latter glanced at Zhu Jue with a puzzled expression. Without saying anything, he took the audio-visual stick from Gu Yinxing's hand and walked at the forefront.

There were no traffic lights on the road at a distance of 1.5 kilometers. It didn't take long for the three of them to see the faint light of fire emerging from the darkness ahead.

Stopping beside the ruins piled with rocks, Zhu Jue turned around and looked at the two people traveling with him.

"Ginkgo, prepare your camera. Remember to take pictures of the environment in the settlement later. After we enter the settlement, Suzi, you go find someone to find out the location of the contaminated area. The important thing is not to ask for the detailed location, but to let the settlement know People at the site know you are asking about contaminated areas.”

"Why do you do this?"

Gu Yinxing still couldn't suppress her curiosity and asked.

She was given photography glasses and asked to use a camera, and then asked Suzi to inquire about the contaminated area, which revealed both her identity and her intentions.

Suzi on the side nodded in agreement with Gu Gingxing's question, she also wanted to ask.

"You should still remember what Lin said this morning. People from the bandit organization discovered the contaminated area. Do you think that based on the organization's behavior, will you choose to evacuate directly or stay behind to find and clean up the contaminated area when the government has never taken any action? Opportunity?"

He sniffed and tried his best to prevent the intrusion of the stench. A light blue vortex circled on the back of his left palm. He brought his right hand closer and the Mikazuki Tachi appeared. This is Zhu Jue's iconic weapon. Anyone who has watched the Weird Studio video carefully Everybody can recognize it.

"You want to use the power of the Rangers organization?"

Different from the "robbers" commonly used by Suzi and Zhu Jue, Gu Yinxing calls them rangers.

"I just went over in advance to say hello. I have a vague plan in my mind. I might be able to use their things."

According to his past habits, Zhu Jue basically acted alone when shooting, and at most he only carried wind chimes. However, the current situation was special. Needless to say, the importance of the Gadamon sub-body to him. I wish he could come up with a more reliable plan. I don't want to take risks.

Since the bandits can discover the existence of the contaminated area, it means that they are most likely to be in Settlement No. 5 at this time.

Zhu Jue didn't have much time to inquire about them, so he might as well go there in this way. As long as they wanted to clear the contaminated area, they would naturally find it themselves.

"If you need to contact the Rangers, I can help. In fact, I have dealt with them before during the human rights march. I know several people in the Rangers!"

"You know them, why didn't you tell them in the hotel before?"

"I didn't know you were looking for the Rangers at the time, and you seemed to be on guard against girls knocking on the door. I was afraid you might misunderstand."

Gu Yinxing woke up when the door was opened. After listening to the whole process, she realized that Lin and Zhu Jue were hiding their identities from each other. Normal people would think that they were not getting along with each other.

"Anyway, this is good news. Then what I just said is invalid. I leave it to you to find a way to contact the Ranger organization. If necessary, we can explain our identities."

Putting away the Mikazuki Taito, it was undoubtedly a big surprise for Gu Yingxing to meet people in the Ranger organization. There was an intermediary to set up the line, and even the steps of testing each other out were saved.

Since Gu Gingxing was involved, Zhu Jue put away the Mikazuki Taitō again and set foot on a more or less decent road compared to the debris road where he came, and moved closer to the settlement along the street.

It was said to be a well-run settlement, but when Zhu Jue actually walked in, he discovered that that was based on the uninhabited ruins outside.

The dark streets are occupied by cracked walls and shacks patchwork like building blocks.

The malicious glances of the scavengers walking around seemed to be real, constantly lingering on the neatly dressed three people.

The residential buildings on both sides look very tall, but are actually little better than ruins.

From the torches used for lighting and the gasoline barrels used as campfires, some harsh and noisy sounds could be heard in places where the light did not cover them.

Of course, this is just the outside, and the inside might be better, but Zhu Jue has no intention of continuing.

"I will send you here, and I will investigate the contaminated area. Your two tasks are to find the people in the Ranger organization as soon as possible. Remember, you don't need to contact them immediately. You just need to make sure you can contact them at any time, and then wait. My news, it shouldn’t take long, Ginkgo, reach out your hands, scavenger, split.”

Compared with three people walking together, Zhu Jue was obviously more efficient when acting alone. He raised his hand and reached out to Gu Yingxing. A ball of gravel formed in the palm of his hand, and his backhand covered her outstretched palm.

"What's this?"

Feeling the numbness in her palms and the vague squirming feeling of a foreign object in her flesh and blood, Gu Gingxing subconsciously wanted to shrink her hand, but was stopped by her own will halfway. She believed that Zhu Jue would not hurt her.

"You can call it a scavenger for self-defense. It can do many things, so I won't introduce them to you one by one. I can show it to you later when I have an opportunity."

With the current ability of the scavenger, the number of sub-bodies that can be split for fighting is not limited to one. Zhu Jue specially gave one to Gu Yinxing as an insurance policy to avoid accidents when he went to the contaminated area. After thinking about it, he thought for a moment. He paused for two seconds and then continued,

"Motoko's fighting power is very strong, I'm not worried, and I also gave her things for self-defense. Your situation is different. Remember, don't use the abilities given to you by the Ouroboros organization unless you have to. It will subtly erode you." Your spirit!”

Having seen the control the Ouroboros organization cadres had over infected bodies and Bayaki, Zhu Jue could not guarantee that Gu Ginkgo would be able to withstand the second mental erosion as long as he stayed away.

"I understand, even if you don't tell me, I won't use it again."

Compared to Zhu Jue, Gu Yingxing, who has experienced it personally, undoubtedly knows better what the so-called "evolutionary fruit" brings.
