Chapter 361: Intelligence gathering (Part 1)
Translator: 549690339
“This city looks. little scary …”
Lu Xin, Chen Jing, and the lizard had arrived at the front of the abandoned city after passing through the blockade. In consideration of the possible danger in the city, the blockade line of the central city was set up three miles outside the city.
Looking forward, he found that the entire city had an indescribable gloomy atmosphere.
Perhaps it was because of the gloomy weather, the thick, dark clouds lowered the sky, as if they were hanging over the city.
The city was huge. Like many other abandoned cities, it was filled with dilapidated skyscrapers. Like forgotten toys, they stood alone at the edge of the city, like strong guards, protecting some unknown secrets of the city. The entire city was filled with greenery. Many tall trees shot up into the sky, covering every dark corner.
From time to time, crows would fly up and circle above the city.
This city was once abandoned, but many refugees from the wilderness gathered and began to live in it. It had not yet been officially recognized by the other high-walled cities, nor did it have the defensive measures of ordinary high-walled cities. It did not even have a unified administrative organization.
This made it easier for Lu Xin and the others to invade. At the very least, they did not have to climb over the tall city walls.
“Alright, you can let us go now and follow us obediently.” the battle doesn’t need your participation, but remember to protect yourself.
Chen Jing gently said to the little monster, and the other party obediently released the tentacles around their wrists.
Lu Xin could clearly feel an unusual mental energy leaving his body at a rapid speed. He thought about what Chen Jing had said and moved his wrist. He deliberately looked away and when he turned his head again, he could no longer see it.
Even after he couldn’t see the little monster, he also had a feeling of not wanting to think about it.
And this feeling was gradually intensifying.
Perhaps in another ten minutes, he would really forget that he had such a little monster following him.
At this time, only Chen Jing could see it at anv time.
Of course, if his sister stayed by this little monster’s side and held it, he could always see it.
team leader, this is such a big city. Where do you think we should start looking? ” leader, do you think the aptitude users from the central city have entered? ” “Team leader, if we encounter danger, should I protect you first or shoot first?” team leader, you’re such a big leader, but you’re actually going out with us .
They entered the city from a low abandoned house area and followed a dilapidated path.
The lizard turned its head from time to time and looked at Chen Jing with a worried look.
“I’m a field agent, what’s there to be surprised about?”
Chen Jing looked very relaxed. She was wearing a military suit, but she walked like a cat. besides, we’re just here to visit relatives. We don’t have to think too much about it … Of course, we should try to avoid the people from the central city.”
She had taken off her coat and was now wearing a new combat protective suit. The soft, body-fitting material accentuated her tall and perfect figure. The armed belt around her waist and the gun pouch on her leg added a bit of heroic spirit. Even her short hair was tied in place with a pink hairband. Her smooth legs seemed to be longer than Lu Xin’s and the lizard’s combined.
“Hehe, you’re thinking about the data in this forbidden laboratory, right?”
The gecko laughed and looked at Chen Jing, as if it had seen through everything, ” the same goes for that poker-faced girl from the central city. The central city has sent so many people all of a sudden. Are they trying to ensure that the information is in their hands? ”
“Your Commission for this mission will be halved,” Chen Jing said expressionlessly.
“I protest?” the lizard panicked.
“If you protest, I’ll cut it by half.” Chen Jing glanced at him.
The lizard immediately shut its mouth, but its eyes widened.
also, ” Chen Jing said, ” if you use the excuse of talking to me to look at me again, not only will your Commission be cut in half, but you will also lose a leg.
The lizard and Lu Xin both averted their gazes.
Chen Jing was finally satisfied. She said lightly, ” although we have made it clear that this is only a visit, if possible, we still need to try our best to get the confidential documents of this forbidden laboratory or the special parasitic items.
“At the very least, it shouldn’t be monopolized by the central city.”
“Do you guys understand?”
ah, I understand. Snatching the spoils .
The gecko quickly agreed. It then turned to Lu Xin and whispered, convert the remuneration.”
“Oh, oh.”
“I understand,” Lu Xin replied.
Come to think of it, this should be considered a business trip while visiting relatives, right?
That’s good. I’ve earned back the money for the gifts for my relatives.
Just like the other city ruins, the dilapidated and empty houses always gave people a dark and oppressive feeling.
The city was man-made, but the emptiness of the city would give people a strong sense of fear.
People always seemed to be afraid of the things they created.
After passing through two streets full of scrap metal, they saw a figure.
In the middle of the dilapidated and dirty Street, there were a few children dressed in black. Some of them were barefooted, while others were kicking a
pair of footboards. They were happily playing football in the middle of the road. The ball they were kicking was actually a ball of newspaper. It was rolled together and then wrapped tightly with yellow tape. However, they were still very happy, and faint laughter could be heard.
Oh my God, this is so strange …
The lizard was stunned for a moment before it whispered, “”Don’t tell me that’s a human head they’re kicking?” no, ” Lu Xin shook his head. they were just kicking a newspaper. “How do you know?” the lizard was immediately dumbfounded.
“I saw it with my eyes,” Lu Xin answered.
Chen Jing ignored the two of them and strode forward with her long legs. The lizard and Lu Xin hurriedly jogged two steps to catch up.
When they got closer, they found that they seemed to have come to a place similar to the slums.
In addition to the children who were kicking the ” balls “, there were many other people on both sides of the road. There were women who were sitting in a pile of smelly cans and picking, and there were also men who were squatting in a small vegetable field that had just been plowed and pulling out bricks and cement blocks. The flat ground was covered with a layer of dried sweet potato that was half-soft from the sun. In some houses, the fragrance of corn porridge was wafting.
This was what a common gathering point should look like.
“Do you have any special feelings?”
Chen Jing, Lu Xin, and the lizard walked past the vigilant and dull eyes of the people around them and asked softly.
Lu Xin closed his eyes and tried to sense for a moment, but there was nothing.
Then, he turned to look at his sister. At this time, she was climbing on the wall of the building next to him, moving forward side by side with him.
He looked confused and didn’t seem to sense anything.
So he could only shake his head.
Chen Jing laughed with a deeper meaning and said, ” it seems that you’re not very close to that relative …
“It’s been a long time since we’ve contacted each other,” Lu Xin explained awkwardly.
looks like we’ll have to come up with some stupid ideas. It’s not easy to find a hidden laboratory in such a large city ruins without the help of an Intelligence Agency and information analysts, so we should now …
She seemed to think about it silently and looked at the side of the street.
There, there were a few children who were not too young. They were staring at Chen Jing’s slender figure in a daze, and some of them were even drooling.
Chen Jing beckoned them over with her finger. The children were stunned at first, then they immediately rushed over.
Chen Jing bent down slightly, her hands on her knees, looked into their eyes, and smiled. “I’m here to find a place. This place should be a little different from other places. I think there should be electricity there, and the surrounding roads should be relatively clean. There may be frequent vehicles, and there may be some people in clean clothes .
Her voice was gentle and distant, giving people a feeling that the distance between them was gradually deepening, but it was also getting clearer and clearer. It was as if all the noise around her was quickly fading away when she spoke, and she was the only one left in the whole world.
“Do you guys feel like helping me now?”
it’s very simple. I need you to help me find someone I’m familiar with and ask them who knows about such a place or any clues about it. If anyone knows, tell them to come and tell me quickly. I’ll be very grateful to you …
ask three people and then forget about this matter, understand? ‘
As Chen Jing’s back was facing him, Lu Xin could not see her eyes.
However, he could hear that Chen Jing’s tone was unprecedentedly gentle, as if she was telling the most reasonable thing in the world.
Or rather, it was something that people were most willing to follow.
After he finished speaking, he saw Chen Jing raise her hand and hold the hands of the three children respectively.
Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!
She snapped her fingers three more times and then chuckled softly. “Go!”
After that, Chen Jing stood up and said to the lizard and Lu Xin behind her, ” no matter what, intelligence gathering is the most important. The blacktable is very cunning. He chose to set up the laboratory here, which means that the people in this city are their shields, or even experimental materials. However, this comes at the price of confidentiality.
“As long as they’re in this city, no matter how carefully they hide, it’s hard to avoid being seen.”
“And I …”
“I’m the best at gathering information in this area,” she said with a smile.
“Everyone is happy to tell me what they know!”
