Chapter 56 Ruin Syndrome
After getting off the spacecraft, Xie Shen quickly counted the number of people present:
Not counting the team led by Mag, the total number of people following Xie Shen at the moment were There are 18 team members.
16 of them are reformers.
There are also two natural persons.
These two people were Li Xiu and his assistant Zhuge Fu who was following him.
Not bad.
The total number of people is equal, and no one is left behind.
…
Relying on the surrounding ruins, it was not difficult for Xie Shen to judge: Thousands of years ago, there was a high probability that there was a road here.
Just because of its disrepair, the road is now overgrown with weeds.
Xie Shen and Ma Ge led their respective teams, walking on this main traffic road, heading southeast
On the way, although Li Xiu always looked expressionless.
But after many years of getting along with each other, Xie Shen still vaguely felt something abnormal: Li Xiu, this guy, most likely has something on his mind.
From the moment he got off the spacecraft, he had been feeling a little restless.
As for why.
Xie Shen asked, but Li Xiu never answered directly.
Perhaps it was because Li Xiuhuai had something on his mind that almost the entire operation was directed by his brain.
Brain and Zhugefu are both talkative.
The former is caused by staying in the laboratory for too long and causing problems.
The latter lives underground all year round, so he also has some psychological problems.
So the two patients chatted endlessly through the wireless communicator.
Although Zhugefu had lowered his voice, Xie Shen, with his five senses far beyond ordinary people, could easily hear what the two were talking about.
He was discussing with Brain about Li Xiu.
"What, have you found it?" Although Xie Shen didn't look back, he could hear that it was Zhugefu talking.
In Zhugefu's headset, the voice from his brain immediately sounded: "I found out that Li Xiu came to the surface this time. The reason he reported to the superiors is: he wants to get a very important chip, and he must be there at that place. Only then can we go in. "
"Is it a very important chip?" Zhugefu asked curiously after hearing this. "What is it used for?"
" The brain replied: " In the information about the chip, the note states that it can be used as a backup plan for human beings to fight against tower prisons. And more specifically, I can't check it because I don't have the authority."
"Then. Just hack into the system and take a look. "Zhugefu said: "With your skills, it's easy to see."
"You dog!"
The relationship between the two is obviously not bad.
Hearing what Zhugefu said, his brain immediately cursed: "Don't hurt me."
After that, it was just some useless chatting.
Xie Shen did not continue to eavesdrop.
After walking like this for about an hour and a half, gradually, the number of broken walls and ruins on both sides of the road became obvious.
"You have already reached the township area. If you continue walking for another hour, you should be able to reach the city ruins."
In the public channel.
Brain reminded everyone: "According to the map, this should have been the Jiaxing area of Zhejiang more than 4,000 years ago."
Everyone continued to move forward.
Finally, after almost another hour passed, Xie Shenyu saw tall towers rising from the ground not far ahead.
The shape of the tower is completely contrary to human aesthetics. If you look at it for a long time, you will feel dizzy or even vomiting.
So Xie Shen only glanced at it and quickly moved his eyes elsewhere.
But seeing the brain reminds everyone again: "In addition to the pseudo-human beings in the city ruins, there is also a monster that is more than 10 meters tall and has bones all over its body. It looks like a human and can walk upright. We The space station is named 'Giant Bone Monster'."
"Some of you may have seen it before." "But some of you are visiting the puppet territory for the first time, so I will mention a few more words. ”
The brain continued: "Those 'giant bone monsters' seem to be unable to hear any sounds, and their eyesight is not very good. They can only see things directly in front of them, so as long as they do not actively wander in front of the giant bone monsters, they will not be attracted by them. Keep an eye on it. ”
Because there are satellite monitoring equipment, we can observe the surface conditions in real time.
Under the command of the brain, Xie Shen and others easily avoided the giant bone monsters wandering around in the ruins of the city.
In order to ensure that they are not discovered, everyone slows down deliberately.
With such caution until evening, the large army finally reached the inner ring city.
Transformers are human beings too, and they also need rest.
Seeing that it was getting late, Xie Shen and Ma Ge found a relatively less dilapidated house, entered it and set up camp on the spot.
Everyone eats when it’s time to eat, and recharges when it’s time to recharge.
And so on until late at night.
A sound of vomiting suddenly sounded in the camp - the person showing symptoms of vomiting was a modified person from Paradise Space Station.
The reformer spoke Italian.
Li Xiu helped translate: "He said he was dizzy and felt like vomiting. It felt like motion sickness in a car."
As soon as he finished speaking, another person appeared in the camp. had similar symptoms.
——Due to technical limitations, the modified person cannot replace the heart and stomach with mechanical parts.
The former is because it is bound to the blood circulation of the human body.
Once replaced, it will affect the whole body, and the impact is too great.
The same goes for the stomach.
It is bound to the human digestive system and cannot be replaced.
So, like natural people, modified people will also experience symptoms such as dizziness and vomiting when they feel uncomfortable.
“What’s going on?”
Xie Shen asked the brain in the space station: "Have similar problems occurred to people who came to the city ruins before?"
"Yes." The brain responded: "Everyone who is close to the city ruins will be infected. This disease."
"And the closer to the central area, the more serious it is."
"At first, the infected person just feels dizzy and then vomits."
"Over time, it may even cause deafness, coma, and even mental disorder."
"Because this symptom can only be contracted after being close to urban ruins, it is also called 'Ruin Syndrome'."
——If you want to sneak into the Tower Prison, you must first solve the 'Ruin Syndrome' 'The problem is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed.
After realizing this, Xie Shen said with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Why didn't you tell me about such an important thing earlier?".
"This"
The brain wants to explain.
But I saw Li Xiu interjecting from the side: "My brain forgot to tell you because I am responsible for this matter."
Solving the 'ruin syndrome' is obviously a headache for scientific researchers .
Xie Shen is not a scientific researcher, he is good at infiltration and actual combat.
So it was reasonable that he was not informed of this matter in advance.
After thinking about the key to this, Xie Shen softened his tone and said to Li Xiu: "Then have you thought of a solution?"
"Not yet."
Li Xiu stared at Xie Shen for a long time, and then suddenly said: "I want to know right now: Do you feel uncomfortable so far?"
