Zhou Jinru quickly lay down, looked up at Kelxi's face, and mustered up his courage: "Aren't you going to give me a reward?"
"Await your return."
After the big lynx finished speaking, the "coffin boards" closed, and a blue light shone on his body. As time went by, his consciousness began to sink.
After a period of trance, Zhou Jinru opened his eyes and found that he was standing in an open space, corresponding to the Rhode Island camp in reality.
"PhD!"
Melanza's voice came from behind, and sixteen people from the reserve group arrived one after another, each of them fully armed.
Du Bin hesitated and said: "The dream world seems to be very different from reality."
She pointed at the sea surface of Siesta. There was not the rising sun, but the afterglow before the setting sun.
For no reason, four words flashed in Zhou Jinru's mind, the setting sun was like blood.
"This is a dream. There is always a difference from reality. Our camp is also gone, isn't it?"
The three reserve groups formed a formation and moved toward the old city as planned. Du Bin walked in front and Zhou Jinru followed in the middle of the group.
Compared with reality, the Xista in the dream was in a dilapidated state, with broken walls everywhere and not a single intact building in sight.
The setting sun stretched everyone's figures very long, and the sea breeze blew on them, chilling them to the bone.
Very unusual.
This was the thought in the minds of all the operators. The doctor walking in the middle didn't care at all, which gave them a lot of confidence.
Before entering the dreamland, Yaye explained the safety regulations to everyone. They could escape at any time, and the medical operators monitoring outside were also closely observing and manually disconnecting from the dreamland when necessary.
"Pay attention to our surroundings. Can the drone's gratitude be used here?"
Stewart took out a drone from his backpack, but when he took it out, the drone disintegrated at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving only the rusty skeleton in his hand.
great.
Now they can only observe the extent of the void with the naked eye.
Soon, the group came to the junction of the old city and the west coast. The sand on the soles of their shoes quietly changed. They stepped on a patch of sand, and even the wind was mixed with sand, hitting their faces painfully.
“Put on your mask and turn on your air filter.”
The operators put on their masks one after another, and a black can was connected to the backpacks behind them.
Black lines appeared around Zhou Jinru's body. Dr. Rhode Island's coat was draped around him. It was mainly black and full of metallic texture. It was pitch black under the helmet and nothing could be seen.
Perhaps it was an illusion, but his figure became taller and more intimidating.
The man who once commanded them seems to be back.
After walking for some distance and completely entering the city, the wind speed gradually increased, and the vision was dim and yellow. Sand, sand, everything was sand.
Under the broken wall, yellow sand piled up into hills.
"Huhu."
There was a rustling sound in the wind, as if something was approaching.
The doctor raised his right hand, opened his fist, and spread it into five fingers. The operators around him instantly formed a team of three to find the nearest bunker.
Gradually, the ground trembled more and more loudly, and a figure appeared in front of everyone.
The five-meter-high rusty metal shell has two red electronic eyes glowing. Its thick metal lower limbs support the cylindrical body as it moves forward step by step. The sound heard before was emitted from the two metal pipes behind it. fog.
It didn't find anyone hiding nearby, or simply didn't pay attention to it. The seventeen people quietly watched the giant robot leave and disappear into the wind and sand.
Kati asked tremblingly: "What is that?"
"I think I've seen it before," Undercher replied.
Melanza immediately asked: "Where, when, and is there a file in the database?"
Zhou Jinru suppressed other voices: "Yes, we saw it when we retreated to the ruins of No. 59. Unfortunately, we didn't leave any photos. If I'm not wrong, it comes from the era of the Terminators."
He remembered that he still had the status of a so-called middle-class citizen.
"So, it came out of the big hole?"
Except for Amiya and Kelsey, the other operators don't know Chen Xi's origins and only think that she and her people are mercenaries. However, the concept of the Big Hollow has been popularized by the operators.
Zilan's tone was a bit unconcerned: "In other words, just like Victoria's melodrama, we will meet more beings from the past. Will there be living people?"
Zhou Jinru was not sure either: "Maybe."
After confirming that the robot was gone, the group regrouped, this time in a more loose formation.
Click.
A soft sound was caught by Spot walking behind the team. He raised his shield vigilantly: "Be careful!"
Emotional perception spread silently, and several cold and disordered emotional sources appeared within his range of perception.
"Melanza!"
The Feilin girl's right hand pressed on the hilt of the sword, and with a flash of cold light, the sword blade cut through the flying black shadow.
The tip of the sword was hanging to the ground, and the dark green blood on the sword was dripping. The monster that was split into two made an unpleasant sound, and after struggling for a few times, it stopped moving.
Its death caused several hostile emotion sources lurking around to flee and disappear without a trace.
Migru and Kati hooked the monster's body with hooks and made sure that the other party was completely dead before dragging it over.
"This is a bug, and it has all the characteristics that prove it is a bug."
Ansel wore gloves and used a scalpel to dissect the monster's body with Fleur. The movements were smooth and the two of them cooperated seamlessly. It only took a very short time to cut off the monster's limbs.
He continued to answer, but he was a little confused no matter how he listened: "Its body structure seems to be only for hunting. There is no redundant space for abdominal organs and no reproductive organs. It is not even as good as a worker bee. Why is there such a strange creature? ?”
When Ansel's scalpel tried to cut open a piece of the cyst, his fingers trembled and his tone was solemn: "There is a living creature."
"Kill it."
Zhou Jinru's cold voice came, and the Carters swallowed their saliva. Furong on the opposite side had already pierced the cyst with a knife. The slender blade cut open the life inside. Only a shuddering scream was heard. Under the blade, there was curled up. Stick insect-like creatures.
Zilan and Yue Jianye drew a few sketches respectively, looked at each other, and Niulang said, "Doctor, we have been staying here for a long time."
Zhou Jinru frowned, glanced at Undercher, and then looked at Sorcerer Sakaz.
"Yanrong, burn it, burn it to ashes."
Yan Rong nodded. She still remembered her experience during the assessment. She opened her fingers and a ball of flames shot out, instantly burning the monster's body to black. But at this moment, the dead stick insect suddenly shot out. , fled away from the crowd.
Boom.
The direction it flew out happened to hit Undercher's crossbow, turning it completely into a corpse.
