indescribable cyberpunk.

Chapter 541 Settlements (Happy New Year!)
Light blue flames surged from the jet port, and the beeping sound of the airship as it accelerated was heard far and wide among the ruins of buildings.

The right side window of the airship was ajar.

The small half of the camera is outside against the window sill, taking pictures of the surrounding environment.

"Pay attention to find a hidden place, don't let people find 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 checked the operating requirements in the manual by the light in the car.

In the early morning, I got the news from Lin Godot that there is a polluted area in community 40. Zhu Jue's original intention was to come here alone. After all, Suzi and Gu Yinxing's strength is good compared to ordinary people, but they obviously can't help them in these matters. He is going to leave Suzi and Gu Yinxing in the No. 35 community to support him.

However, since he doesn't know how to fly an airship and doesn't know enough about the low-level communities, he can only take two people with him in the end, and contact Rona to let him pay attention to the movements of the Thousand Sails City government.

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

Turn off the engine, take out the car cover from the trunk and put it on. Before going out, Zhu Jue specially blocked the open warehouse door, and wrapped the iron chain he picked up inside twice before he was relieved.

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

Suzi looked at the map, and handed the two flashlights to Zhu Jue and Gu Yinxing respectively. To complete the goal of destroying the bone tree, relying on imagination alone is undoubtedly nonsense, and it is possible to travel only after field investigation. the effective method.

Putting on the shooting glasses with built-in night vision ability, Zhu Jue put the flashlight back on Suzi, and wandered around the surrounding streets.

Due to the occlusion of the upper-level community buildings and the current major power outage, the No. 40 community at this time was still in darkness and chaos even at noon.

The originally well-connected streets under the feet are now in dilapidated condition, with uneven potholes, piled stones and various sundries blocking the view. Occasionally, the wind blows from somewhere in the street, bringing an uncomfortable stench.

A few years ago, the city was expanded to high places due to heavy pollution. Over the years, various environmental problems have accumulated, not to mention, and 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.

Broken branches and fallen leaves are all extravagant hopes here!
"From here to the polluted area, will you pass through the residential area?"

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, the number of residents in lower-level communities is only half that of other communities due to their harsh environment, let alone a place like No. 40 community, where ordinary residents would want to Do your best to go up.

Because of this, the resident population of No. 40 community, which ranks among the top in the entire lower urban area, is only about 30. Coupled with the harsh environment, most people will naturally choose to gather in some places to ensure their livelihood. In a fairly normal area, the Qianfan City government is happy to manage it in a centralized manner, which has led to the division of several large settlements in the entire No. 40 community.

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

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

Gu Yinxing, who has been active in the grassroots community for the past few years, is quite familiar with this matter, glanced at the map on the audio-visual stick, raised her hand to point a coordinate on it, and said.

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

"From here to settlement No. 5, the distance is about 1.5 kilometers, and from the settlement to the polluted area is 2 kilometers."

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

He turned sideways to signal Suzi to go first, and the latter looked at Zhu Jue with a puzzled expression, without saying anything, took the audio-visual stick from Gu Yinxing's hand, and walked in the forefront.

At a distance of 1.5 kilometers, there were no traffic lights on the road, and the three of them saw a faint fire emerging from the darkness ahead of them within a short distance.

Stopping at the ruins piled with stones, Zhu Jue turned around and looked at the two people who were walking together.

"Ginkgo, get your camera ready, and remember to take pictures of the environment in the settlement later. After we enter the settlement, Suzi, go find someone to inquire about the location of the polluted area. The important thing is not to ask the detailed location, but to let the settlement People in the spot know you're asking about the contaminated area."

"Why do this?"

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

She was allowed to use a camera with shooting glasses, and Suzi was asked to inquire about the polluted area, revealing both her identity and her intentions.

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

"You should still remember what Lin said in the morning. People from the bandit organization discovered the polluted area. Do you think that with the behavior of this organization, they will choose to evacuate directly or stay behind when the government has never taken any action to find and clear the polluted area. Opportunity?"

Sniffing, trying to prevent the intrusion of the smell, the light blue vortex hovered on the back of the left palm, the right hand approached, and the three-day moon dagger emerged. This is Zhu Jue's iconic weapon. Anyone who has carefully watched the video of Weird Studio can be recognized.

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

Unlike Suzi and Zhu Jue's usual "thieves", Gu Yinxing called them rangers.

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

According to past habits, Zhu Jue basically acted alone when shooting, and at most he only brought wind chimes. However, the current situation is special. Needless to say, the importance of the Gadamon daughter body to him can have a more secure plan. Wish I don't feel like taking any risks.

Since the bandit organization can discover the existence of the polluted area, it means that they are very likely to be in the No. 5 settlement at this time.

Zhu Jue didn't have much time to inquire about them, so he just walked over in this way. As long as they wanted to clear the polluted area, they would naturally find them.

"If you want to contact the Rangers, I can help. In fact, I have dealt with them during the human rights march before. 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 guarding against the girl who knocked on the door. I was afraid you misunderstood."

Gu Yinxing woke up when the door was opened. After hearing the whole process, she realized that Lin and Zhu Jue were concealing their identities from each other. Normal people would feel that they were not getting along well.

"Anyway, this is good news. Then what I just said is invalid, and I leave it to you. Find a way to contact the upper cavalry organization. If necessary, you can explain our identity."

Putting away the Mikayue Taidao, it was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise for Gu Yinxing to know someone in the Ranger organization. There was an intermediary who set up a line, and even the steps of mutual testing were saved.

Now that Gu Gingko was involved, Zhu Jue put away the Mikayue Taidao again, set foot on the dirt road that was piled up with ruins when he came, and walked along the street to the settlement.

It was said to be a well-run settlement, but Zhu Jue didn't realize it until he walked in. It was a conclusion based on the uninhabited ruins outside.

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

The malicious eyes of the scavengers walking around were as real as they were, constantly lingering on the well-dressed three people.

The two sides look very tall, but they are actually residential buildings that are not much better than ruins.

The torches used for lighting and the gasoline barrels used as bonfires, where the light did not cover, some harsh and noisy sounds could be heard vaguely.

Of course, this is only the periphery, and it might be better inside, but Zhu Jue has lost the will to continue walking.

"I'll send you here. I'll investigate the contaminated area. The mission of the two of you is to find the Rangers as soon as possible. Remember that you don't need to contact them immediately, just make sure you can contact them at any time, and then wait My news, it shouldn't take long, Ginkgo, stretch out your hand to scavenge, split."

Compared with the three of them walking together, Zhu Jue was obviously more efficient in acting alone. He raised his hand towards Gu Yinxing, a ball of gravel condensed in his palm, and covered her outstretched palm with his backhand.

"what is this?"

Feeling the tingling sensation in the palm and the vague sense of foreign body creeping in the flesh and blood, Gu Yinxing subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, but was forcibly stopped by her own will halfway, she believed that Zhu Jue would not hurt herself.

"Things for self-defense, you can call it a scavenger. There are many things it can do, so I won't introduce them to you one by one. I can show it to you when I find a chance."

With the current ability of the scavenger, the number of daughters that can be split for battle is not limited to one. Zhu Jue specially gave one to Gu Yinxing, which can be regarded as the best insurance to avoid accidents when he goes to the polluted area. After thinking about it, a little After a pause of two seconds, he continued,

"Suzi's fighting power is very strong, I don't worry about it, 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 it is absolutely necessary, it will subtly erode Your spirit!"

Having seen the cadres of the Ouroboros organization control the infected body and Bayaki, Zhu Jue can't guarantee that Gu Yinxing can resist the second mental erosion under the premise of staying away.

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

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