Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
Three armored vehicles lined up in the deserted wilderness, and the distinctive emblem of the gray fox shined on the side armor of each vehicle. The dry plain wind rolled up the dust and beat the outer shell of the vehicle, while the last silhouette of the city grew farther and farther behind the convoy and disappeared.
There are no traces of people around this lonely convoy. The only sight I can see is the rugged rocks and the bumpy wasteland landscape, which is stained by sand and dust. The sky is gray and yellow, and it hangs down in all directions. The vast earth is connected together, almost giving people the illusion that the whole world has turned into a ball of yellow sand. The convoy is now driving on an avenue that is theoretically an intercontinental highway, but this avenue now has only a little bit of cement residue on the side of the road that can still be discerned: the power of nature easily erases the traces of civilization that once existed After more than sixty years of weathering, the solid concrete road is no different from the surrounding gravel wilderness.
This is the mercenary force who will be heading to the Northland Ruins, led by Nolan himself. After starting from Black Street, he went straight westward to the Gray River, and Hao Ren was with them. The team departed yesterday afternoon, and now they have been traveling for almost twenty hours without stopping, and the ruins of the city that just disappeared on the horizon are the last urban area of the Rift Valley city-it is said that it will not go further until the Gray River Seeing any city ruins again, in the next two or three days, this desolate wilderness will be the only landscape on the road.
Hao Ren and Nolan and others rode together in a second armored vehicle. These vehicles have a spacious interior, and seem to have been specially modified for transport personnel, and the car in the middle is the most tightly protected one: gray fox customers are here.
Two expressionless men are sitting behind the carriage, wearing different uniforms from the mercenaries. They are said to be researchers of the Baihe Chamber of Commerce, and two senior bodyguards from the Baihe Chamber of Commerce are sitting on each side. They are responsible for protecting researchers and monitoring the work of the gray fox mercenaries. Nolan's task is to safely **** these four people to the North Tower – then at least one of the researchers should come back alive.
The above is the original commissioned letter from the Baihe Chamber of Commerce.
These four "customers" hardly talk to mercenaries, they only occasionally whisper something about themselves, and try to avoid being heard by others. It is obviously meaningless to pay attention to these people, so Hao Ren turned to look at the display embedded in the carriage, and the situation outside the armored vehicle could be seen on the screen, but the scenery outside was only static waste. Ulanov murmured in a low voice: "This ghost place, even the rangers can't survive."
"Relax, we are now in the safest area in the world," Nolan sat across from the car, his hands behind his head, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he put his feet on the front of the steel unsightly On the handrails, "You can't meet humans in this place, the only danger is only the highly toxic soil and water."
Carl holding his large rifle in the corner of the car, sniffing his nose after hearing Nolan ’s words: "His, that ’s really safe."
Hao Ren looked at the four members of the White River Chamber of Commerce sitting at the end of the carriage, and sat next to Nolan and sat down: "Do you know what they are doing?"
"I don't know," Nolan's interest is lacking, "I do business without asking about customers. This is the trick I can live to today. Don't know what you shouldn't know."
She paused, noticing that the curiosity on Hao Ren ’s face had n’t diminished, so she shrugged and lowered her voice: “It ’s probably going to dominate the computer. The pre-war nanocomputer cluster control program, and the time it did n’t come The drawings of the next generation of nanocomputer clusters transferred from the control center ... It is said that they are hidden deep in the Beidi ring tower. Any force can develop as long as they can get one and a half of the data. The guys who went to the Northland in these years have basically All go to those things. "
"Pre-war technology ..." Hao Ren muttered in a low voice, "Is it really useful ..."
"Why are you going there again?" Nolan raised an eyelid. "I heard that you buried your wife in the wilderness outside Black Street in the morning, so it seems that you should go to Northland To die. "
Hao Ren said helplessly: "My mental state has always been normal, okay? I went to Beidi Huan Pagoda just to confirm some things ... Anyway, there is no conflict of interest with you, just a ride. "
Nolan opened his eyes suddenly and looked at Hao Ren seriously: "To be honest, I always think that you are a guy who is not quite right, it feels like this from the first meeting."
Hao Ren smiled: "What's wrong with me?"
"Too optimistic, too calm, too indifferent," Nolan turned his head, "I thought it was the cause of your nervousness at first, but it does n’t seem to be the case now. You remind me of the kind in peacetime A person who was born and raised ... but that kind of person on this scorched soil can't maintain this state of mind for as long as you do. "
When I heard Nolan ’s words, Hao Ren also inadvertently said: "You look at the age, but you can see people."
"Isn't it age ..." Nolan repeated softly, looking up at the display in the car, and then she pressed the on-board dialogue device beside her, calling the soldiers in the front cab, "Jin , Have we crossed the old Route 17? "
The soldier in the cab reported: "Just a few minutes ago."
"Well, you rest, let the vehicle switch to autonomous driving, and the driver will not be needed for the next two days."
"Received, boss."
Although Black Street and Zero City are the closest human settlements to the Northland Ruins, there is still a considerable distance from there to the Northland Ring Tower. This life restricted area is absolutely insurmountable for ordinary people. Forbidden land, even professional mercenaries need the support of modern equipment and the best physical and mental state to cope. Over the next two days and nights, under the guidance of the autonomous driving system, the convoy continued to approach the Northland Ruins. As the destination gradually approached, everyone's mood also became tense. These originally brought out by Nolan were gray foxes. The most courageous and loyal group of people in the army, but at this point, they still began to perturb uneasiness.
“It ’s a terrible thing to be killed by the nanocomputer cluster,” Ulanov told Hao Ren on the fourth day of the journey. “The death process is very long, and it usually starts from the internal organs. The body When it is dissolved, it will be accompanied by extreme burning illusion and tearing feeling-more pressure comes from psychological. You will clearly feel that you are becoming some kind of Heterogenization block ... and this feeling Will continue to repeat within a few minutes. "
Hao Ren is looking at the scene outside the car. Ulanov ’s words make him feel weird: "You are here to say that this is shaking the mind ..."
Ulanov laughed hoarsely, and the laughter seemed to have a mischievous meaning: "I just want to remind some people not to be interested in the nano-machine clusters that seem to be sleeping, they are not sure Will suddenly come alive. "
Two researchers from the Baihe Chamber of Commerce looked up here and looked dissatisfied.
At this time, a call from the driver of the head car suddenly came from the horn of the carriage: "Gray River! Gray River in front! Boss, it's Grey River!"
The words "Gray River" woke up the dull atmosphere of mercenaries like a stimulant. The crowd raised their heads and clenched the weapons at hand. A mixed emotion of uneasiness and excitement spread from them. Nolan immediately picked up his equipment bag and stood up: "Everyone, bring an electromagnetic dormant with me!"
The armored vehicle stopped on a wilderness, and the mercenaries jumped from the carriage to the ground. Before getting up, Ulanov put a slap-sized device shaped like an old-fashioned radio into the arms of Hao Ren: "Take this, your electromagnetic dormant device."
The Hao Ren took the quirky device unidentified, and was urged to jump off the car by the people behind.
An endless barren land spreading out in front of his eyes, and a hundred meters away, he saw the lead armored vehicle was parked beside a broad "big river", and the river bank could be I saw a continuous, neat metal luster.
Hao Ren followed the mercenaries and he looked at the scene in surprise: "This is ... Gray River?"
All he sees is the endless gray-white, thick and weird liquid surging in front of his eyes, the texture is like asphalt, the color is like bone, the speed of these liquids is extremely slow, almost like a slow film In the same way, the slowly rolling sticky gray "river surface" brings only an endless sense of strangeness. And on the edge of the gray river like a black-and-white movie, you can see a layer of something like a plated armor covering the rocks on the shore-just like a naturally growing river bank, bringing those people a great deal Dangerous "river water" is blocked in the river bed.
This is Grey River.
