Chapter 55: The Model Worker, Genova
"Laoge, we will cheer you up!"
Shang Jianyao waved his right hand and shouted enthusiastically to Gnava.
He, Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen were standing on a high ground, looking down at the intelligent robot below.
Because it is not clear how many companions the escaped enemies have, what their strengths are, what their sensing range is, and whether there are traps set, the "old adjustment team" is cautious and decided to send only Gnava to chase the traces and follow the clues. The four carbon-based men used telescopes and surrounding terrain to be separated by several kilometers, closely observing the various performances of their teammates and ready to launch a long-range attack at any time.
This is also impossible. Who says that intelligent robots have high fault tolerance? If they really encounter an accident, the probability of surviving is far better than carbon-based people such as Jiang Baimian?
More importantly, intelligent robots are also immune to most awakened people's abilities and are not afraid of being sensed by human consciousness.
In order to ensure Lao Ge's safety, four carbon-based people from the "old adjustment team" unanimously decided to let the other party wear "Black Swamp Iron Snake" bionic smart armor this time to further improve their defense capabilities.
There is a proverb in the old world: Meat is wrapped in iron, and death will be fast; iron is wrapped in meat, and life will be restored.
Gnava is now called "iron-packed iron", which is strong enough and strong enough.
——Meat wrapped iron generally refers to humans riding motorcycles and bicycles, and flesh and blood are above steel. Iron wrapped meat refers to humans riding motor vehicles, and flesh and blood are under the protection of steel.
Gnava raised his steel arm covered with black scales and waved to his companions, indicating that he had received their encouragement.
Then, he began to follow the blood, footprints and other clues to the distance.
Jiang Baimian looked at the sky that was as dark as the main urban area of Keningmis, and breathed:
"In such an environment, only Lao Ge can miss a little trace."
"Yes, yes." Shang Jianyao agreed.
Long Yuehong glanced at them, raised his telescope and observed Gnava's every move so that he could understand what the other party had encountered in time.
At this moment, the four carbon-based people were fully armed, three were wearing military exoskeleton devices, and one was wearing "Chameleon" bionic smart armor.
That one is Long Yuehong.
They were not stingy with power, and they launched an attack when they found the enemy.
Through the corresponding functions of the telescope and military exoskeleton device, the four members of the "Old Tuning Team" saw Gnava moving forward quickly.
This shows that until now, the clues have not been interrupted and traces are still on the earth.
"Laoge bypassed a bunch of stones...
"Laoge crossed a stream...
"Laoge entered the abandoned village and walked through it again...
“…”
Finally, Jiang Baimian couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted Shang Jianyao's words:
"We can see it without explanation."
Shang Jianyao closed his mouth with a disappointed look on his face, regretting that he had not fully enjoyed the profession of commentator.
Jiang Baimian turned his attention to Gnava again, and then relied on the communication system embedded in the military exoskeleton device:
"Laoge, stop for a while and we will move. If you move forward, the angle here will not be very good, and the distance will be too far, which is not suitable for supporting you.
"You should be careful about your surroundings and beware of accidents."
After receiving Gnava's affirmative reply, Jiang Baimian called Long Yuehong and others to move to the second surveillance point.
This surveillance point is not pre-set, because they have no idea in advance where the enemy fled. This surveillance point is one of the few suitable places they specially selected when watching Gnava tracking.
Several carbon-based people from the "old adjustment team" had equipment assistance, and they arrived at the scheduled location in no time.
It was a water tower.
Jiang Baimian and others stood firm in the small steel terrace on the top of the water tower and observed the situation on Gnavan again.
No exceptions.
Gnava continues his tracking journey.
As he looked, a picture suddenly appeared in Long Yuehong's mind.
That is a funny picture from the old world entertainment information.
He suppressed his voice and shared his feelings with Bai Chen:
"Do you think the situation is a bit like that picture now? A group of people are watching and working alone."
"It's indeed a bit like this!" Before Bai Chen could speak, Shang Jianyao from all directions had already expressed his agreement.
He immediately sighed:
"Poor Old Ge."
I just said that I am not as good as you who cheered Lao Ge just now... Jiang Baimian didn't say it out loud.
After a while, Gnava slowed down.
When we get here, the traces seem to be getting fewer and less and more difficult to capture.
This was not difficult for Gnava. He relied on the assistance of various equipment and modules to pursue it little by little.
I don't know how long it took, and when the real night was approaching, Gnava stopped and pointed to a building ahead:
"The enemy should have entered there."
The building belongs to a small town on the edge of Koningmes, close to the northern pass.
It was originally the tallest building in this area, but it was later renovated a bit like a post.
"How about blowing up that house directly?" The vicious Shang Jianyao made a suggestion.
The honest Gnava replied:
"But according to my detection, there are no living creatures inside."
"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Shang Jianyao, who was looking for innovation and wonder, was disappointed.
"Transferred in advance? Trap?" Jiang Baimian said to himself and ordered Gnava, "Lao Ge, you go in and search, be careful."
"Okay." Gnava has always obeyed orders.
Then, with the help of the communication system, his report continued to be transmitted to Shang Jianyao and others:
“There are traces of human life at the bottom, which is very new…
"They also raise animals... The soil outside the window at the back side drifted over...
"I found a storage room with some supplies, but not many, and there were traces of transport...
“There are observation points on the top floor, and you can see the road to the northern and western passes entering Koningmes…
"A preliminary judgment shows that there were three to four people living here, plus a large animal...
"I found a clearer rut on the east side of this building. I have reason to believe that a few hours ago, the humans here hurriedly moved with most of the supplies. The direction was the main urban area of Koningmes..."
After listening carefully, Jiang Baimian frowned.
She murmured to herself:
“This is unscientific…
"There are only such people in the Eighth Institute at Koningmis? Moreover, the one who was severely injured by us is one of the best combat powers..."
In her original understanding, at least dozens of people in Koninmis were responsible for clearing investigators and supervising areas overlapping with the "New World". Among them, the awakened ones at the "spirit corridor" level may not count one hand, and they carry items that can directly contact the "New World" powerhouses of the Eighth Institute.
Unexpectedly, according to Gnava, there were only three or four people here plus a black giant cat creature, and they would suffer a heavy blow due to the attack on the "old commissioning group" and choose to rush to transfer instead of organizing a stronger encirclement.
"Aren't it from the Eighth Research Institute?" Long Yuehong murmured.
"No, the commissioner we caught has confirmed that the Eighth Institute has been quarantined here, so people will definitely be left to guard." Bai Chen shook his head.
Jiang Baimian said "yes":
"There are also giant cats, which is not that coincidental."
At this time, Shang Jianyao laughed, and his voice came to Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong, Bai Chen and Gnava in the distance at the same time:
“The answer is simple.
"The Eighth Institute does not pay enough attention to this place, so it only sent a small team to guard it.
"Why is it not enough to pay attention? It is because outsiders enter the main urban area of Koningmis, which is basically equivalent to death, or become an "unintentional person". A few who can come out alive will have more or less protection, and the Eighth Institute doesn't care much..."
He repeated the statement he had discussed with Gnava before.
Jiang Baimian nodded and said thoughtfully:
"This speculation is very reasonable, but the question is, in this case, why does the Eighth Institute still send such a team to guard Keningmis? I think there are too many awakened people at the level of the "Spirit Corridor"?
"What exactly are they 'guarding'?"
"I can only ask them." Shang Jianyao answered sincerely.
Jiang Baimian immediately used the communication system to tell Gnava:
"Laoge, you track the ruts and see where those people went."
Gnava tracked down to the edge of the main urban area of Koningmes.
After nightfall, it was so dark that it was so dark that it could not see any five fingers. At first glance, it seemed that there was some dangerous existence sleeping deep in the depths.
After observing for a while, Gnava, who was opposite to Shang Jianyao, said:
"Those people seem to have entered the main urban area. Aren't they afraid of 'heart-free'?"
——Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen did not dare to get too close to this place, so they could only send Shang Jianyao to support him.
"Maybe they have someone to protect them." Shang Jianyao was "not surprised" and didn't care.
When he and Gnava returned to the main force and reported on this matter, Jiang Baimian thought about it and said:
“There are so many mysteries here, and our reserve power is almost dropping below the safety line.
"Next, go to the sphere of influence of the White Knights, replenish the energy, and then come back and explore further."
