Chapter 4
Departure day.
[1456.5.17 09:51:40]
In the third command center of the sky, the huge system projection shows the current time coordinates, and people are busy in an orderly manner, which is no different from the countless Guardian actions in the past.
Eight minutes later, the mission will be officially launched. Everyone in the seventh team of the guardians of the sky has changed into the uniform black combat uniforms of the guardians. They are checking their physical status again with the inquisitors to ensure that there will be no adverse reactions during the journey. .
Song Qinglan had already completed the inquiries, and checked all the team members as usual.
When he saw Ji Yushi, he frowned and patted the shoulders of the team members beside him: "Go and have a look."
A slender figure appeared in the group of strong guardians.
During the monsoon season, a subcutaneous communicator was implanted on the side of his neck the day before, and the dispatcher is now connecting it to the control bracelet for him. He was taller than the dispatcher, so he lowered his head, his long eyelashes concealed the look in his eyes, and he looked cold and incompatible.
"The recorder's mission is to act alone and does not need teammates. The guardian is the opposite." The dispatcher told him intimately, "Consultant Ji, it is the first time you have implanted a communicator, you may feel uncomfortable, and it is the first time in your mind to hear it. You may be startled by the voice of your teammates. But it doesn't matter, after a long time, you will get used to it and forget it exists."
"Okay." Ji Yushi said.
After the dispatcher walked away, Ji Yushi heard someone ask him, "Consultant Ji, how are you feeling? I don't think you're looking very well today."
The person who asked the question was one of the twins.
Ji Yushi was indeed pale, but his eyes were still bright: "No problem, I just slept late last night."
"That's it." Because of the unfamiliarity, the teammates said dryly, "Don't be too nervous about that season consultant. This transition feels almost the same as your previous mission. It's all the same. And the mission is also very simple. We'll be back tomorrow."
Ji Yushi understood the kindness of his teammates, he nodded: "Thank you, Tang Le."
Tang Le's expression was very strange when he returned.
Song Qinglan: "What?"
"Team Song!" Tang Le was like hell, "He actually knew my brother and me clearly! He called my name right! Many people in the ministry have not been able to tell the difference for so many years! Just today, just now! Zhou Ming Xuan admits his mistake one more time!"
Tang Qi and Tang Le are 99% similar in terms of height, weight and appearance. People who don't get along day and night can't tell who is who.
But remembered it when only introduced Jiyu once, and it was still in the same outfit, which made Song Qinglan a little surprised.
"It's just a coincidence." Song Qinglan said indifferently, "Is he okay?"
Tang Le replied, "It's okay! It's because I didn't sleep well."
Song Qinglan: "It's fine, I'm afraid I'll go out and be a hindrance."
Countdown to 3 minutes.
Everyone entered the huge transmission platform, and the silver-white capsules were closely connected, like lotus seeds on a lotus pod.
When the monsoon rained, he entered his capsule, sat in a safety seat, and closed the hatch.
[Welcome, when the monsoon rains, you are about to set off to complete the first A-level mission]
The noisy human voices in the command center were completely cut off, so quiet that only one's own breathing and heartbeat could be heard.
When Ji Yu let the locks on the safety chair wrap him from his calf, waist, abdomen, shoulders and neck one by one, he saw the control bracelet on his left wrist glowing green.
That is the current position and physical condition of the six teammates.
Ji Yushi realized that this time he was not alone in time and space, and he had six teammates by his side.
[You are connected to a public channel. ]
After a brief prompt, the law of the sky is displayed on the transparent panel.
"I am the witness of time, and I swear here."
"Never change the past!"
"Never talk about the present!"
"Never be obsessed with the future!"
The uniform and powerful voices of teammates sounded in the public channel.
This oath was already well-known during the monsoon season, but taking the oath with so many people is a bit more serious and chilling than before.
There are ten seconds left in the countdown.
When Ji Yushi was caught off guard, a deep male voice suddenly broke into his mind, instantly numbing his auditory nerves.
Song Qinglan's tone was very relaxed: "Everyone is ready, the seventh team of guardians of the sky, the thirteenth A-level mission, go!"
A nice young male voice still lingers in his ears.
Like many time travels before, he took a deep breath during the monsoon rain, and after about two or three seconds, the capsule that should have been calm and quiet violently jolted violently!
[warn! warn! You have deviated from the target coordinates! You have deviated from the target coordinates! ]
The warning lights in the capsule kept flashing, and on the transparent panel in front, countless colorful pictures flashed quickly, bizarre and unimaginable.
A white light flashed before his eyes.
Sharp tinnitus suddenly sounded, dizziness and nausea accompanied by a strong sense of weightlessness, almost drowning people!
[Illegal jump detected! ]
[Illegal jump detected! ]
error! !
During the monsoon rain, he gritted his teeth and tried to press the warning button several times, but the capsule was spinning and shaking violently.
In the sound, he had to use all his strength to grab the armrest of the safety chair, and the safety latch held him firmly in place, protecting him from being thrown out of the seat and hitting the bulkhead, causing his head to bleed.
As long as it may have been a century, the capsule cabin gradually became stronger and more stable.
As soon as the capsule cabin entered a state of complete stillness, during the monsoon season, he quickly grabbed the nutrient solution handed over by the robotic arm and gave it a few mouthfuls.
[? ? p0754%$#37]
[: ""LRR"/'l'89'']
The panel displayed incomprehensible garbled characters, as if the machine had completely crashed.
Without a time coordinate, it is impossible to confirm what year it is during the monsoon and what happened.
But through the glass windows of the capsule, they could see that their landing point was in a forest, and through the dense canopy, a dark gray sky could be faintly seen.
When the monsoon rains, release the safety seat lock and step out of the hatch.
"Sigh—"
A teammate vomited in the wind.
The person who started to vomit as soon as he stepped out of the capsule was Li Chun, the youngest teammate. He had just been recruited into the Guardian for less than a year. He was a big boy with good physical fitness. There was only one problem: he was "sick".
Hearing that he vomited, the teammates seemed to be well-trained and spread out tacitly with him as the center.
Song Qinglan was also taken back a few steps: "I'll let you sit on the pendulum ten times before you can go on a mission. Be honest, how many times did you sit?"
Li Chun threw up a second wave without saying a word: "Twice... vomit—"
The teammates expressed their shock.
"Listen to what people do?"
"With such a long vacation, you only use it to flirt with girls?"
"The simulator can't help you anymore, how dare you neglect the big pendulum?"
Li Chun finally finished vomiting, and said weakly, "...No, didn't you smell it? The air here is so stinky."
Duan Wen pinched his nose and handed over a bottle of unscrewed water: "Chun'er, don't make excuses, rinse first."
Li Chun: "Thank you Brother Wen... eh? Where's Consultant Ji?"
The capsule cabin during the monsoon was the closest to Li Chun, but the cabin door was wide open but no one was there.
Just when everyone was worried about whether he would have been thrown to a certain time and space, a cold voice came: "I am here."
Ji Yu Shi did not know when he had already stood four or five meters away from Li Chun. Under the fluorescent light from the capsule, he could see a trace of discomfort on Ji Yu Shi's pale face.
Everyone: "..."
Is it necessary to hide that far? !
Sven people really love cleanliness the most!
Song Qinglan glanced at Ji Yushi, but she didn't have time to manage the weak teammates shown by the new players.
Everyone encountered the same situation in the capsule. The transparent panel was full of garbled characters. Song Qinglan turned on the communicator on her wrist and found that the time had been updated to the current time: [1470.8.05 04:41:31]
This is obviously not the time coordinate of this A-level mission, nor their original time period.
At that time, the strong turbulence was accompanied by the prompt of "illegal jump". Song Qinglan judged that they might have encountered some kind of malfunction - this was the first time that he had encountered such a situation in the two years of his mission.
"Duan Wen." Song Qinglan ordered clearly, "Check the main control panel to see if there is any data leakage or information hijacking, and immediately contact the command center."
"Yes." Duan Wen acted quickly and quickly reported, "Team Song, our equipment seems to be locked."
Song Qinglan frowned, "What kind of locking method?"
Duan Wen said: "The main control panel is offline, and the command center cannot be contacted. The capsule does not work. It seems that the electromagnetic waves and magnetic fields here are a bit different, but I can't be sure. Maybe the transition just now has something to do with this. We're stuck here with the rest of the communicator working."
When everyone heard the news, they "grasped" one after another.
"What about the mission?"
"I also explained that the mission of the world is to invite the newly-acquainted girl to dinner."
"You're so fucking scumbag, there's no end to it."
At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from the woods.
At 4 in the morning, who would come to such a remote depth of the woods?
Everyone tacitly muted.
Adhering to the low-key principle that the traversers cannot be discovered by the aborigines, Duan Wen, who was in charge of the control, immediately turned off the glowing holographic map through the wristband, and the seven capsules standing there were also hidden under his control. Invisibility.
The last light disappeared, the deep woods fell into darkness and silence again, and needles could be heard falling.
Probably going the wrong way.
The crisis is over, and everyone is like a group of ghosts under the cover of the woods, silently waiting for the people who broke into the forbidden area to leave.
The tramp saw them.
A group of mysterious figures suddenly appeared in the dark woods. Ordinary people should be startled, but the homeless person was not surprised at all, let alone stopped. On the contrary, when he saw this group of figures, he suddenly screamed with excitement, and rushed straight at the speed!
Li Chun stood on the outermost side, just vomited, and the person was still a little numb.
The stench was foul, Li Chun quickly responded with a curse, and threw the person to the ground with a backhand.
"Ho!! Ho!!"
The homeless roared out of his mouth, and he rushed again in an instant.
"What the hell?!" Li Chun didn't expect that the other party would dare to pounce for a while, but felt a flicker of fishy wind, and just smelled an extremely disgusting stench, a sharp pain in his shoulders, "Grass!!!"
The tramp actually bit Li Chun's shoulder fiercely!
With a "bang", the homeless man was kicked three or four meters away by Song Qinglan!
This first paragraph pulled Li Chun up: "Chun'er! How are you?!"
Li Chun grimaced in pain. Fortunately, the guardian's combat uniform had a layer of armor on the shoulders. This mouth only left a tooth mark, and did not hurt the flesh.
If an ordinary person was kicked by Song Qinglan, he would probably not be able to get up, but the homeless man made a sound of "hoho" and stood up again!
This time, his target was Song Qinglan.
Facing the new round of swooping, Song Qinglan was not in a hurry. In the darkness, his figure was like a vigorous black panther with ease and ease, but after a blink of an eye, a neat elbow hit him to the ground, completely subduing him silently.
Perhaps it was too easy to deal with the commoners, Song Qinglan didn't even catch her breath, she just raised her chin: "Chun'er, the new scumbag you've met? They've all come here."
A teammate was laughing: "Pfft."
In the monsoon season on the side: "..."
This team seems to be a little different from what he imagined.
The captain and team members are not like serious people.
After being ridiculed, Li Chun didn't dare to talk back. He obediently endured the stench and tied the "object he had scummed" with a rope. This was his retribution. Who made him vomit just now, polluting the nasal cavity of his teammates.
After the tramp was under control, he was still roaring wildly, struggling, and seemed to have lost his mind. The hoarse and eerie roar echoed in the silent woods, sounding less like a human than a man-eating beast from some low-level horror movie.
Song Qinglan sensed something was wrong and said concisely, "Flashlight."
This shout came when the rainy season came.
Seeing him walking over with a flashlight, Song Qinglan remembered that the special advisor of the airborne team was actually an observer in their team.
But the new observer's psychological quality was not very good, so he glanced at the homeless man in front of him, and immediately looked away.
It can be seen that consultant Ji, who loves cleanliness, is really nauseous this time.
Song Qinglan looked at him: "Can you bear it? I can't bear to replace them."
In the dark, the fair neck forms a stubborn curve during the monsoon, and it can be seen that it is forcing: "I will try my best."
Song Qinglan was noncommittal and said indifferently, "Then you must hold back."
In the darkness, the strong light of the flashlight made everyone see the appearance of the homeless man.
It was a pale face, the surface of the skin was covered with dark cyan reticulate blood vessels, and there were a pair of gray and cloudy eyeballs in the eye sockets. They were out of focus, and there was no trace of humanity. What's even more shocking is that the homeless's mouth and clothes are covered with dark red blood, and even some finely minced meat!
Not only during the monsoon, but also the teammates have different expressions.
Those pieces of meat have features, and human tissues can be vaguely seen.
Li Chun had a strong desire to survive and whispered, "I told you that the air here is very smelly."
The stench comes from this blood stain.
Chapter 5
In the early morning in the park woods, a homeless man who was covered in blood and jumped at everyone, was still a lunatic, which was not unusual.
In addition, the other party is likely to suffer from some kind of disease, and the appearance is too exciting, and everyone is speechless for a while.
Song Qinglan took the flashlight from Ji Yushi and turned it off.
Falling back into the darkness, Ji Yu heard him say: "Yes, you should check the almanac before going out. It simply broke the record of being discovered by the aborigines fastest in the history of the Guardians. No one is allowed to report when they go back. Helping my grandson will surpass us."
During the rainy season: "..."
Song Qinglan's tone was as usual, pulling everyone out of the mysterious and strange atmosphere.
It's a reminder that they are guardians and are currently in a time and space where they shouldn't be.
"Leave the person nearby for a while, and then someone will find him and call the police." Song Qinglan said, "It's pitch black and you can't see anything. We have to go out and find a way to contact the sky of this time and space. When you go out, pay attention to your surroundings. Be vigilant, you may pass the murder scene."
Everyone: "Yes!"
Distribute equipment as usual before leaving your landing site.
Zhou Mingxuan opened the mechanical storehouse, and he was equipped with long guns, short cannons, daggers and saber. Guardians have state-of-the-art equipment, and everyone has their own specialty. When necessary, they must take necessary measures, and they must be ready for any emergencies in future time and space.
This was the first time he had carried a weapon on a mission during monsoon, and when it was his turn, he chose a pistol that he had used frequently in the private training room in recent days.
The whole body of this gun is silver and white, and the gun body is small, which is very easy to carry and hide.
"Diamond bird." Song Qinglan stood beside him and said the name of the gun, "It imitates the style of PPK in the last century, which Hitler and Bond used. Consultant Ji, you are very retro."
"What?" Ji Yushi was puzzled. Just a gun showed that he was retro?
Song Qinglan didn't explain why he said that, but said, "If it were me in this situation, I would try to choose a weapon that can protect me better. However, it's quite suitable for you."
Ji Yushi: "..." He knew that someone in the army called the Diamond Bird a woman gun.
Song Qinglan is good at close combat, and her tight and well-proportioned muscles also show this.
I saw that he methodically first picked two sabers and inserted them into the girdle tied to his slender calf, then chose a pair of gloves, a pair of fist hooks, and finally a shotgun.
Divine sleep.
——It is the code name of this gun. It is not light in weight and has great lethality. Just like the feeling that Song Qinglan brings to people, it is presumptuous, domineering, and hard to ignore.
After choosing the equipment, Song Qinglan asked, "The weapon should be used when it should be used, and it's best not to leave your body. But do you know what to do if the aborigines discover that you are wearing a gun?"
When he stared at Ji Yu in front of him with black eyes, he was a little teased and taught him: "Just say you are a policeman."
After walking out of the woods, everyone found that the place they had reached was a park.
Song Qinglan was right. As soon as they came to the main road of the park, they found a body under the street lamp. It is said to be one, but it is not the case. Only half of the corpse is left, and the wound has been bitten by some animal, which makes people think of the terrifying crazy tramp.
Combined with the pieces of meat on the homeless man just now, everyone felt nauseated.
Was this eaten?
This is not only the earliest time they were discovered by the aborigines, but also the most intense.
This is a large forest park, located in the center of the city, surrounded by high-rise buildings. It was already five o'clock in the morning. Morning exercisers and elderly people should have gone for a walk in the park to exercise, but they didn't meet a single living person along the way.
The rubbish was blown everywhere by the wind, on the lawn, on the benches, everywhere, as if it had not been cleaned by sanitation personnel for a long time. In the slump, dry dark red bloodstains can occasionally be found on the road. It seems that more than one murder has occurred here.
Looking up, except for a few street lights in the park, it was almost impossible to find a single light.
Not only that, but the windows of all the tall buildings in the distance were dark, standing lifelessly under the dark gray sky.
There is no hustle and bustle, no familiar noise in the morning, the city is terribly quiet, as if it had fallen into a dead silence.
What's even more strange is that the farther away from the woods, the more obvious the smell of rancid wafting in the air, as if there are more unknowns waiting for them in places they can't see.
What the hell happened here?
A pale wisp of white appeared on the skyline, and the sun was about to come out.
But the huge park, which is deserted, is still shrouded in shadows, and it is extremely gloomy.
Out of a sense of danger, Song Qinglan made a silent gesture.
Everyone was on guard, lined up, and looked around.
Ji Yushi was walking on Song Qinglan's left. He held the gun with his beautiful fingers, and loaded the diamond bird neatly. He had a tacit understanding with his teammates. However, Song Qinglan tilted her head towards him in view of her immediate reaction when she encountered danger during the monsoon rain in the woods.
The meaning in Song Qinglan's black eyes was obvious: go to the middle of the team.
In Ji Yushi, he didn't have any self-awareness of being a vase. As if he couldn't understand what he meant, he continued to move forward on his own.
A few seconds later, he suppressed his voice and said very quickly: "Song team, at eleven o'clock, the park management office."
Song Qinglan narrowed her eyes in the direction he said, it was dark and he didn't see anything.
Ji Yushi said again: "There seems to be a light inside."
The minimum quality requirement for an observer is to have good ears and eyesight. In the past, when the observer was old, Song Qinglan regarded him as the team's eye and never doubted the observer's judgment.
Therefore, Song Qinglan said solemnly, "Go and have a look."
It turns out that the eyesight is excellent during the monsoons.
After he reminded them, everyone walked some distance before they could distinguish the buildings hidden by the bushes. There is a sign on the door of the low building: PU-31 Central Park Service.
"What is PU-31?" Someone whispered, "Is there no place name?"
Everyone has doubts in their hearts. The current time coordinate is Xingyuan 1470. Although they came from more than ten years ago, they should not use such a place name, right?
With such a long distance and such small words, don't know how to read it clearly during the monsoon rain.
After entering the door, Song Qinglan realized that the so-called light was just a lamp on the solid wood desk in the corner.
Is this person's eyes able to magnify the focal length?
The park management office was empty, as dead as the outside world.
Several teammates entered other rooms to check. Song Qinglan picked up the communicator on the administrator's desk and found that it had been turned off because there was no electricity. The desk was also messy, with keys, newspapers, register books, and takeaway boxes.
Soon Tang Le came out: "Song team, a body was found in the bathroom!"
The corpse in the bathroom was wearing a uniform, and it looked like it was the caretaker here.
The corpse lay face down on the floor, a large blood hole in the neck running through the brain, rotting flesh and clearly visible arteries. Song Qinglan casually took a towel, wrapped her hands and turned the person over. As expected, this person was just like the homeless man just now. The skin on his face was pale and covered with cyan reticular blood vessels. The difference was that the corpse's face was stiff and his eyes were tightly closed. However, he kept the screaming state before his death, with maggots squirming in his wide open mouth, causing the onlookers' scalps to tingle.
There was no airflow in the small space, the stench was strong, and there was a slight retching sound.
Song Qinglan didn't turn her head back: "Li Chun, give me another spit and give it a try."
The crowd crowded in the bathroom turned their heads in anger, and Li Chun innocently raised his hand: "This time it's really not me!"
Ji Yushi, who was standing at the door, covered his mouth and quickly walked away.
Finally can't stand it anymore? Song Qinglan thought.
However, no matter who it is, he has no time to manage the mental state of the players.
He pondered on the corpse for a few seconds, and instead of using it directly, he took out the saber from the girdle of his calf, and pulled open the eyelids of the deceased with the handle of the knife.
Sure enough, like the tramp, the deceased's eyeballs were also grayish-white, and it was difficult to tell which group was the pupil in the turbidity.
Li Chun said: "Fuck, the same symptoms as the madman just now, what is this? Infectious disease?"
Recalling that he was almost bitten, which means that he was almost infected, Li Chun was almost afraid.
Song Qinglan said, "It's possible, but we can't be sure."
Plus that body in the park, and other bloodstains... Can a mad tramp really cause so many murders? He was skeptical.
During the rainy season, didn't really spit it out.
When Song Qinglan returned to the administrator's office, Ji Yushi was looking at the communicator that had no signal. Except for her pale face, she had already sorted herself out.
Seeing them coming out, Ji Yushi said, "I found a video."
"I found the charging port of the communicator in the drawer." It seems that I am not used to expressing my views in front of people, so I continued without emotion during the monsoon season. "After the communicator was turned on, I found this video downloaded a month ago. ."
The communicator projected the video.
A man with a pale face covered with cyan mesh blood vessels appeared in the picture, his raised pupils were gray and he was madly rushing towards the camera. The photographer screamed for a while, and while the picture was shaking, the man was pulled by the iron chain around his neck, and his neck was bloodied by the violent pulling, but even so, the man still slammed wildly with his mouth open, "Hohohoho" in his throat. ' growls.
The photographer was a woman, and her cry came from the video: "Help! Help me... My husband has mutated! There are many outside and outside! Help me, I don't want to die! I didn't get bitten! Who will save me? help me!"
The video ends on the man's hideous face.
The crowd shuddered.
"It's a zombie!!"
"If it's really a zombie, how many of them must be out there!"
"Damn it, no wonder it's so weird here!"
"This is a video from a month ago!"
Just after watching a real horror movie, Ji Yushi's face was also very strange: "The communicator is not connected to the Internet, but I just received a message, which should have been sent to us."
Zhou Mingxuan asked curiously, "The information is on the deceased's communicator, but is the information sent to us?"
He emphasized the word "we".
This is outrageous.
Ji Yushi affirmed this statement: "I think it is."
Song Qinglan said calmly, "Open it."
The blue light flashes slightly, and the holographic projection gradually lights up.
The team formed a circle, looking at the information on the projection and looking at each other.
[Welcome, guardian from Xingyuan 1456, welcome to PU-31. ]
The familiar welcome from the Vault of Heaven system appeared, which should have made people breathe a sigh of relief. Everyone felt a chill down their spines while they were puzzled.
Not only because the message was really sent to them, but also because the second and third lines of words appeared in the projection.
[This transition has been locked and will be unlocked after the mission is successful. ]
[Mission Mode: Ouroboros. ]
[Task rules: death elimination. ]
"Look!!" Tang Le, who was standing at the window, suddenly pointed to the outside and shouted.
The crowd walked over quickly.
All were stunned.
I saw a black wall suddenly appear between heaven and earth, spreading all the way from the direction they came from.
No, it cannot be said to be a black wall.
If had to describe it, it was like the black screen when the model game was loading. It moved so fast that everything from the sky to the ground was submerged, and it didn't stop until the park management office.
"Di-", the communicator beeps.
The last line of words on the projection appears.
[Quest objective: Dark Chaser. ]
Authors note:Merry Christmas guys[>]>=/^^
And yah I already know your guys are curling your toes just wanting them both to just kiss hehe
