Chapter 197 Chapter 195 Breath of the Wilderness
If all goes well, each location can be searched in about two days.The biggest factor affecting whether it is "smooth" is the weather. The semi-desert wilderness has its own breathing rhythm. After a clear sky during the day, it becomes a humid wind at night, and fog and rain fall the next day.

This kind of rain has very fine raindrops, which disperse as they fall, forming a thick mist.Zhuang Xuteng's field of vision is compressed to only 20 meters. After turning on the low-light mode of the telescope, he can see a little farther, about 25 meters.With this visibility, the search efficiency is too low, and it is extremely easy to get lost, so they dare not drive back to the city.So Zhuang Xuteng and Morgana had to sit in the car and wait for the weather to improve.

The only good news is that they can start a fire to cook, give themselves some hot food, and comfort their stomachs.

It rained for a long time, and the fog began to dissipate after noon.Although the weather is still very gloomy and the visibility is far inferior to yesterday's under the clear sky, but with low-light telescopes to make up for it, it is already possible to carry out investigations.

The two of them hurriedly set off and came back before nightfall, and there was still a lot of places to go!

During this operation, Morgana discovered that Zhuang Xuteng's memory is particularly good, as long as he has been to the place, he will not make a mistake.Whether returning to the last checkpoint yesterday or returning to the camp when it was dark, Zhuang Xuteng always went straight and found the correct position.

Ordinary people rely on landmarks to remember places, from landmark A to landmark B and then to landmark C...finding the past point by point, Zhuang Xuteng is not like that at all.Morgana believes that Zhuang Xuteng has recorded everything along the way, and the whole area is a whole landmark for him.As long as the destination is determined, he can go directly.

This ability is very powerful, but doesn't he think it takes a lot of brains?The human brain doesn't seem to work that way, does it?Morgana guessed that Zhuang Xuteng might have some kind of ability to control memory, or spells, or bloodline abilities.

The possibility of spells is very low, unless he also masters the advanced ability of silent spellcasting, Morgana must be able to notice his spellcasting behavior.If you think about it carefully, you can rule out this possibility: If you can learn to cast spells silently, Naike will have been hired by the company with a high salary. It is impossible to let him out as a mercenary, and he will not choose a mercenary.

Bloodline ability is even rarer nowadays.After the gods left, the "blood" quickly faded, and even intermarriage within the clan could not save its decline, so it gradually became rare.Up to now, there have been occasional cases of reactivation of the blood vessels, which are also concentrated in aspects related to the appearance, some flesh and blood, and organ functions. The blood vessels that strengthen the brain were extremely rare in ancient times, and it is even more impossible now.

The second location is more desolate, and it is a rolling hill, which is much more troublesome to walk.If there is vegetation, there is still something to hold on to when going up and down the mountain, and the feet are also stable.But the semi-desertized hills are full of loose rocks and clods, which will collapse if you don't pay attention, and you are often unstable.

Compared with bloodlines, shadow implants are more likely, but brain implants have always been the most expensive type, each of which needs to be specially ordered, and only specialized intelligence analysts or information control personnel will be used.

"My God! Many people died?"

"Sister Lucy, I'm Naike. I've just entered the range of Peicheng, and I'm currently using the speakerphone." Zhuang Xuteng slowed down and stepped aside, and asked, "What happened in the city? I heard there was a fight?"

The mood is happy enough, and the physical exertion is acceptable, but the results of the search work are not optimistic.Not only did they take an extra day than originally planned, but they also failed to find any leads.The one of the four locations that best fit the environmental data was excluded, and they could only pack their bags and go to the next location.

From the northwest of the city to the northeast, one must pass through Peicheng.After returning to the coverage area of ​​the phone signal from the wasteland, the phones of both people made a beeping sound.Zhuang Xuteng lowered his head and took a look. Various advertisers sent him meticulous care, and there were also a few unfamiliar numbers that he only dialed once, and it was not worth dialing back.

After disconnecting the phone, Morgana snorted and shook her head slowly.She looked out of the car window, the buildings in Peicheng came towards her, and the streets receded.She didn't say that she wanted to go back to PCPD, so Zhuang Xuteng didn't change direction, and continued driving to the next wilderness.

"The gangs started fighting, and some mercenaries were disobedient and meddling in it. There have been many shootings recently, and the riot squad has to be dispatched every night. The bureau is understaffed, so come back quickly."

Morgana said: "I'm still using the Nike, it's just the two of us in the car."

At the end of the call, Zhuang Xuteng asked Morgana to ask about the specific situation.Morgana was scolded again by her supervisor, but also decided to return to work without further delay.

If the blood vessels strengthened the brain, then he should at least have other appearances, right?Like a big head?Morgana secretly thought.

"Do I need to go back now? I can't go back for a while." Morgana frowned and asked, "Is there an emergency?"

Zhuang Xuteng would only say "in order to maximize the efficiency of the task" or "there is no special exercise these two days, I just do weight-bearing".These are obvious white lies, and Morgana can be happy as long as she accepts the good part.

"It's okay, gangs are fighting for territory, and outsiders are making trouble here. The whole situation is chaotic but not very intense. Are you driving the speakerphone? Is anyone still there?"

"This is not considered a favor, it's just relaying the news. Well, I have other things to do, hang up!"

"If you think about it, just say, don't be embarrassed, I'm your informant!" Zhuang Xuteng dialed Lucy's phone, turned it on speakerphone, and put it on the dashboard.

"He only pays me overtime pay instead of making up vacation time...what do I need overtime pay for?"

Zhuang Xuteng smiled and said: "When I was working in the factory, I only wanted to pay enough overtime pay, and never thought that I had to take a vacation-almost all the workers around me were like this. Maybe your boss just doesn't understand you, and it's not that he doesn't treat you well. not good."

Zhuang Xuteng noticed her uneasiness from the furrows between his brows and slightly trembling cheeks, and he asked, "Is your boss at PCPD urging you to go back again? Morgana, let me help you find out what's going on in the city." ?”

"Thanks, I thought of that too."

Fortunately, the weather was beautiful, there was only a shower, and no fog rose to affect their sight.Counting a night of reconnaissance with night vision goggles, the two finally completed the search of the area in two days.Unfortunately, there are still no clues.

"Just use it, use it hard. The mercenaries don't get involved in the gang fire, unless there is a chance to make trouble and get rid of the roots. It's not the time yet, just let Naike work for you with peace of mind. By the way, wait a moment ..." There was a sound of searching for documents from Lucy, and after a while she said: "Morgana, our mercenaries are fine, but the PCPD is a little injured. The third branch of the hub area was bombed yesterday. Someone Driving a car full of explosives straight into the police station..."

Morgana had more calls than Zhuang Xuteng, and she frowned when she looked at the missed call list. "I've got to call my supervisor, it looks like something's going on with the PCPD. Naik, you don't talk."

Morgana likes smart people, especially when he knows how to take care of people.Since there is no stamina implant installed, and there is no ability to transfer damage such as dormant martial arts, how can long-distance walking and scouting keep Morgana from getting tired?Every time she showed that she could not keep up with the progress, Zhuang Xuteng would take the initiative to take a rest and then help her carry the heavy load.

Zhuang Xuteng nodded, then listened attentively.

And he never said things like "you're tired" or "you can't do it".

"Fortunately, only three died and 27 were injured. The timer of the explosive was broken during the impact, so it didn't detonate. The equipment on a PCPD policeman exploded, and all the deaths and injuries were caused by this. Because it was also an explosion , everyone thinks that this is probably also done by the Gardeners' Organization. At present, the Gardeners' Organization has not claimed responsibility for this incident. Nothing else, I just think you must want to know this."

"I really want to go back, but..." Morgana shook her head and said, "I'm trying to find a way. If I have the chance, I'll take the earliest flight back. Boss, my vacation... well, count me in work overtime……"

"Go to the next one!" Morgana was not discouraged, but returned to the coverage of the mobile phone signal, and she was frowned by the messages that kept ringing.

Morgana hated hearing the words "you can't" the most.When she wanted to become a witch, "You can't"; when she wanted to go to PCPD, "You can't";She had heard these three words since she was a child, and she had formed a stress response, which always made her angry.

After much deliberation, on the contrary, "Nike is very smart" may be the closest to the truth.

"Where did you go? You have to be able to answer the phone even on vacation! Where are you now? What, you're not in Peicheng, you just walked out of the mountains? What are you doing in that crappy place?" The voice in the phone receiver couldn't escape Zhuang Xuteng's reinforcement Listening, the anxiety and anger contained in it are also clearly expressed.

"Thank you, I know from you, I remember this favor."

The two held each other's hands, with Zhuang Xuteng in front and Morgana behind, supporting them up and down the mountain.You can see farther from the top of the mountain, but you can't see the valley clearly.In order not to miss clues, they can't just watch from the top of the mountain, but still have to step on the situation in the valley.

"Maybe you're right, at least it makes me feel better."

"You are very kind in nature. It would be better if you looked at the problem from several angles." Zhuang Xuteng said: "You go back to PCPD, and I can investigate the remaining two places by myself."

"No, don't go to that place in the wild. You can't get in touch with your mobile phone, and no one can support you. You can go together after I finish my work." Morgana thought for a while and said, "You can't always Leaning on this, so you can check out that place on the edge of town first. There's a signal there, and it's in better condition to buy supplies."

"Okay, then I'll go to location No. [-] first. I'll wait for your news about the field exploration. Don't go back to PCPD directly, change your clothes first. Where do you need me to send you?"
