Ash Civilization

Chapter 358 The new boss. (Please vote for me! Please subscribe!)

Tongfu City, suburb.

The former site of Fudi Amusement Park.

The wind blows from the wilderness, kicking up the clouds of dust and blowing down on the face. Countless gravel and gravel are like violent wind and rain, further darkening the already faded shop sign.

The gates behind the small square are all rusted, and the mottled paint color has lost all its beauty in the wind and rain, almost exactly the same as the rust. The dilapidated stains seem to echo the silence and desolation of the huge amusement park.

Looking down from a high altitude, this scene blends in with the surroundings. They are all skeletons abandoned in time, waiting for the dust of time to completely bury them.

Suddenly, this amusement park that had been abandoned for 40 years seemed to come back to life in an instant. The bright and lively colors lit up the place like a spark of fire.

Rust, dust, weeds, moss, dirt... all the forgotten and dilapidated things accumulated over the years disappeared without a trace at the snap of a finger.

Time seems to have turned back 40 years, with colorful signboards, bright doors, neat and gorgeous embroidered flower beds, sparkling and jagged fountains, colorful amusement facilities... flocking to the place.

The strong sweet smell of popcorn creates a happy atmosphere in the wind, and the drum beats are as dense as rain, beating out a boiling rhythm.

"Immediately afterwards, I met the four 'Digital Rain'!"

Before the question he wanted to ask came out, "Shi Guang"'s urgent voice came out from the receiver instantly: "The call was interrupted just now. Have you met 'Dr. An'?"

At the main entrance of the amusement park, a gate in the middle suddenly opened, and a figure made purely of numbers rushed out from inside.

"You should leave the area near Foday Amusement Park immediately, don't wait for 'Doctor Ash'!"

Without enough time to observe the specific situation around him, Zhou Zhen immediately called up the menu of the visual sensor and prepared to contact Duan Lihe.

The moment he rushed out of the amusement park, the numbers all over his body faded away like the ebbing tide, revealing human flesh and blood. It was none other than Zhou Zhen!

In the past, Zhou Zhen would never let the authorities find out that he had any connection with the "Ash Order".

Knowing that the matter was serious, Zhou Zhen did not hesitate and immediately used [Plane Jump] to quickly leave Fudi Amusement Park.

However, this is no longer Binhai City!

The visual sensor that stayed on the message to be sent page was instantly damaged. Under normal circumstances, it is extremely resistant to drops, fireproof, waterproof and corrosion-resistant. In theory, the visual sensor can be used normally in various extreme environments. It is very outrageous that it was broken all of a sudden!
Zhou Zhen's expression changed and he immediately stood up from the ground.

Upon hearing that the "Nine-tailed Fox" was sent to help him, Zhou Zhen shook his head immediately. He was not sure whether the four drops of "digital rain" he just encountered contained "Dr. An", but one thing was certain, "Nine-tailed Fox" "Come here just to deliver!"
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhen replied very decisively: "She can't do it! Only a 'doctor' can come here to have any hope!"

But now that four drops of "digital rain" are chasing him, what he needs to consider most is not his identity, but whether he can survive!

At the same time, the Fudi Amusement Park behind him, with its myriad colors, sweet smells, and lush green plants... all disappeared without a trace, once again turning into a long-abandoned and desolate appearance. The sky dimmed instantly and was once again covered with a heavy weight. lead color.

"I am now in Tongfu City, in front of Fudi Amusement Park!"

"There are four 'Digital Rains' who have awakened and are chasing me!"

Before he finished speaking, Duan Lihe's astonished voice came over: "'Dr. An'? Are you sure?"

After saying that, Zhou Zhen didn't wait for "Shi Guang" to answer, hung up the phone directly, and dialed Duan Lihe's number as quickly as possible.

Just as I was thinking about it, the familiar cell phone ringtone suddenly rang.

It’s [Murphy’s Law]!
He had just exited the "digital form" one moment, and was directly hit the next moment!

The Xianyan in the scene just now was like a flashback hallucination.

"Hurry up and contact the 'doctor' for me!"

"Run away!"

"One of the four 'Digital Rain's who have awakened is probably 'Dr. An'!"

Binhai City, over Changfang District.

"I have now escaped to the Fudi Amusement Park in Tongfu City..."

Hearing this, Zhou Zhen heard that something was wrong. He wanted to ask more, but a sudden "Ah" came from the phone. It seemed that Duan Lihe fell down without warning, and then the call ended directly. I don't know what happened. It's not that Duan Lihe's phone was broken...

At this moment, even the usually gray skies in high-risk cities seemed to have been cleared away, revealing the long-lost blue.

At this time, Zhou Zhen clearly heard Duan Lihe's breathing on the phone getting heavier, and he seemed to be in a very uneasy mood. Just when he thought Duan Lihe would question his relationship with the "Ash Order", Duan Lihe's unusually serious voice came from the receiver: "I'll contact the top right away!"

In addition, when facing the civilization of Planet No. 142857, the "Ash Order" and the official position are the same!

"'Doctor Ashes' should be coming to my place soon..."

Zhou Zhen immediately entered the "digital form" to prevent being affected by [Murphy's Law] again. At the same time, he took out his mobile phone and looked at the screen. On the screen, the caller displayed as "pickup".

"The 'Nine-tailed Fox' will be here soon..."

Mother ship, command room.

※※※

However, I don't know if it was because he was in a hurry, but before he sent the message, his calf suddenly cramped, and he couldn't stand up, and he fell to the ground involuntarily!
It just so happened that at this time, his nervous reaction was inexplicably slow by half a beat!
boom!
With a muffled sound, Zhou Zhen fell face to the ground.

"If you really encounter 'Doctor Ash', just like you encountered 'Dr. An', run away immediately!"

Zhou Zhen quickly replied: "I'm not sure, but it's definitely an 'out of control number'!"

"The 'Ash Order' suddenly contacted me just now and asked me to be careful about 'Dr. An'."

Zhou Zhen didn't hesitate and immediately answered the phone: "Hello, 'pick up the light'..."

The call was quickly connected, and before Duan Lihe on the other end could speak, Zhou Zhen quickly said: "Captain Duan, I'm in big trouble!"

"The location is an abandoned school in the suburbs of Binhai City. The specific address is..."

In the room where large and small holographic projection screens were suspended, several senior executives of the Starry Sky Law Enforcement Corps were very surprised to see Duan Lihe fell to the ground with his chair, and the special mobile phone issued internally fell four to five meters away and hit hard. on metal table legs.

The muffled sound echoed slightly in the room. Because the incident was so sudden, the senior executives who were discussing business did not react for a moment.

Duan Lihe immediately stood up, and a young assistant in uniform quickly left his seat and came forward: "Captain Duan, are you okay?"

Several other senior executives also came to their senses and asked questions one after another.

Duan Lihe shook his head and said, "It's okay."

He frowned slightly, feeling a little strange.

It should have been [Murphy's Law] just now, but Binhai City's [Murphy's Law] has basically been controlled... Thinking of this, Duan Lihe quickly gathered his mind. Now was not the time to think about these things. He immediately used the visual sensor to compare what he had just heard around him. The contents of Zhen's call were passed to the superiors.

After the information was uploaded, Duan Lihe turned around and walked out, saying at the same time: "You decide what happens next!"

While striding outside, he pressed the button in his coat to activate the equipment, and at the same time called for satellite support to start preparations. He planned to go to the abandoned school on the outskirts of Binhai City to investigate the situation before reinforcements from above arrived.

Normally, those "digital rains" that have awakened now regard the entire earth as an experimental field and will not take action against any of the experimental subjects.

And this time Zhou Zhen was suddenly attacked, it was very likely that it was related to the digital information that the other party translated!

The main reason why the Chiluan-1916 digital signal receiver was shipped above is actually to keep it secret and to prevent the civilization of the planet No. 142857 from discovering it as much as possible.

However, it seems now that the technological gap between the two sides is indeed a bit big!

While he was thinking, Duan Lihe had already put on a full set of equipment, entered the special aircraft, and pressed the launch button without hesitation.

boom!
※※※

China, northwest, desert.

This is a top-secret underground base that does not even have a number. In the laboratory with a height of 100 meters, several large lights are carefully designed to illuminate the center of the laboratory.

It was a cylindrical glass vessel filled with light green liquid, and suspended in the liquid was something similar to a metal plant.

It is like a big tree growing under the water, with lush branches and leaves. Dozens of eyes are sparsely distributed on the trunk. At this moment, some are open, some are half-closed, and some are tightly closed...

There are countless colorful lines connected around the glass vessel, and they are submerged in a series of instruments. Most of these instruments are working at full capacity, and countless data are brushed off the screen every second.

A dozen researchers in white coats were busy among the instruments, discussing professional terms in a soft voice from time to time: "The activity has further increased... The characteristics of JF2114 agent are..."

"There is a peak in mental fluctuations..."

"The next step is to proceed to the second step. First, discharge the medicine. After dilution, the injection of CG4416 mixed gas begins..."

An old man with simple clothes and ordinary appearance stood in front of the glass vessel, raising his head slightly and quietly staring at the infected person inside, as if in deep thought.

At this time, the cell phone ringtone suddenly rang.

No. 001 picked up the phone, looked at the caller ID, and immediately connected: "Hello, this is No. 001..."

His expression was calm when he got through, but he didn't know what was said on the phone. No. 001 stood up straight in an instant and asked with a solemn expression: "What?"

Immediately afterwards, something else was said on the phone. No. 001 looked solemn throughout the whole process. After answering several times in a row, he quickly ended the call.

Just as the call was hung up, No. 001 quickly stood up, left the laboratory, entered the corridor, and after swiping his card five times in a row, entered an exclusive room.

Soon, he came out of the room, already wearing a set of heavy armor, like a majestic lion, and holding a heavy sword filled with terrifying energy in his right hand, like a general about to go on an expedition.

No. 001 pressed the hidden button at the door. Above his head, layers of portals suddenly opened, revealing an exit like a rocket silo.

He put a little force on his feet, and a majestic energy burst out in an instant, and his whole body soared into the sky, straight into the sky.

※※※

Tongfu City.

"Order of Ashes" sub-base.

Deep in the corridor full of technology, there is a small but well-equipped theater.

"Jiyu" was wearing gorgeous medieval costumes, standing in the middle of the stage, performing with great emotion.

Suddenly, the closed door opened, and a camel-colored figure burst in.

Those who come are in a hurry, which is exactly "picking up the light".

Seeing "Shiguang" suddenly come in, "Jiyu" immediately stopped his performance and asked very dissatisfied: "What's going on?"

"Shiguang" replied briefly: "'Doctor' is in trouble."

"Jiyu" had an extremely exaggerated smile on his lips. Hearing these words, his expression suddenly froze. It took him a while to recover, and he asked directly: "Now, who is the new boss?"

"'Blue Dragon'? 'White Tiger'? 'Suzaku'? Or 'Xuanwu'?"

"Shiguang" shook his head and said, "It's the beginning of the year!"

"The 'New Year' is now, right near Fudi Amusement Park."

"The 'Nine-tailed Fox' has gone to pick him up and will be back soon."

"Hurry up and get ready, it's time to fulfill your mission!"

"Jiyu" came back to his senses, nodded without any hesitation, and replied with a smile: "Okay!"

"Shiguang" looked at him deeply, turned around and left the theater without saying anything else.

The door closed again, leaving "Jiyu" alone in the room.

He did not continue to perform a one-man show, but raised his head and looked at the dark and high ceiling. On his pale face, the weird smile became more and more exaggerated. The corners of his bright red mouth were raised high, like a bloody wound, which seemed to tear his entire face. , completely torn apart from the lower court...

※※※

Step, step, step...

Coming out of the small theater dedicated to "Jiyu", "Shiguang" walked quickly on the spacious and bright corridor, and soon stopped in front of a mountain wall. After opening the hidden entrance, there was a lounge inside.

The holographic projection screens on three sides of the lounge are showing the appearance of a vast grassland, with a simulated breeze blowing against your face with a faint smell of grass.

The furnishings in the room are simple, except for the necessary water dispenser, table and chairs, etc., and a soft couch in the center.

At this moment, the "nine-tailed fox" was holding a roasted chicken with a brown color and fragrant aroma, lying on the sofa, and was munching on it.

Seeing that there was only "Nine-tailed Fox" enjoying the roast chicken alone, "Shiguang" was stunned for a moment. He looked around the clearly visible room to make sure there was no other figure, and immediately asked: "'Nine-tailed Fox" ', Where's the 'Sui Shi' people?"

The "nine-tailed fox" concentrated on chewing the roast chicken without even looking at anyone. The corners of her mouth were stained with oil. As she chewed, she asked in a vague voice: "What's the beginning of the year?"

"Shiguang"'s face stiffened, and he suddenly understood that "Nine-tailed Fox" had forgotten about going to find Zhou Zhen!

However, just when "Shiguang" was about to explain it to "Nine-tailed Fox" again, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind her: "'Doctor Ashes,' did something happen?"
