Chapter 98 Face Change

The passageway is only two or three meters wide.

The soldiers standing against the wall on both sides were only a few steps away from them, as if they were completely surrounded.

The rabbit was tense all over, instinctively gripping the sniper rifle in its hand.

These soldiers... always have a happy expression on their faces when they see them, and they will take the initiative to greet them when they meet.

Now, however, he didn't even move his eyes, silently watching them as if he were monitoring them.

The rabbit's fur stood on end.

The scene she least wanted to see happened, as if the soldiers would transform into monsters and pounce on her at any moment.

Protected by his teammates, Yun Zhao slightly moved his fingertips, and green fluorescence emerged, entering the bodies of these soldiers at an extremely fast speed.

As long as there is no distortion and emotions exist, her emotional resonance attack remains effective.

The corridor was dimly lit by only a few oil lamps. The soldiers stood stiffly in place, their eyes slightly unfocused, before finally looking away.

Xie Tu stretched out his arms and gently put them around her waist.

This is a protective stance.

Xie Tu winked at Song Liang.

Song Liang understood, strode to the door, and turned the valve on the wall.

A muffled creaking sound suddenly rang out.

The soldiers did not react.

Song Liang opened the door, creating a space just wide enough for one person, turned around and waved to them before slipping out first.

The others followed closely behind.

The passageway outside was just as dusty and dark as when we came in. The view was no longer as dark as before, but rather a dim gray.

As I walked down the stairs, the empty city was deathly silent.

It was eerily quiet.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the armored off-road vehicle parked there untouched.

In terms of combat prowess, even if those soldiers were mutated into monsters, they would be no match for the sentries.

But after a day together, the sudden change caused an indescribable sense of unease to well up inside them.

Not to mention the atmosphere of that scene was really too eerie.

The group quickly arrived at the armored off-road vehicle.

Tao Haohao opened the car door first, cautiously peering inside to make sure there was nothing amiss, before turning to call everyone to get in.

All the supplies inside the vehicle are still there.

The carriage was packed full of ammunition and food, leaving almost no extra space once someone sat down.

Wait until the car door is closed.

A closed space brings a sense of security.

Duan Xi finally couldn't help but complain, "This contaminated area is absolutely awful!"

Yun Zhao unzipped his backpack and stuffed snacks inside, unusually agreeing with him, "I don't like it here either."

We lacked both resources and technology.

They had already obtained the relevant information about the robots in the previous contaminated area; the only items they could really appreciate were the specimens in the storage facility.

Song Liang was sitting opposite him, turning on his computer and plugging in the USB drive he had brought with him. “Complaining is useless, the task is the priority.”

"Captain, shall we head straight to the Sichuan Opera Theater now?" Rabbit couldn't help but peek out and ask.

Xie Tu sat in the driver's seat, started the car, and said in a voice devoid of any emotion, "Hmm."

The armored vehicle moved slowly, turned, and drove onto the open road.

The ground was a ghost town, most of the buildings were dilapidated, and the sky was dark and gloomy, shrouded in a thick layer of gray fog.

The entire city resembled an apocalyptic scene.

Desolate and bleak.

Yun Zhao was still packing snacks into her bag; she brought the most food.

But after two days in the underground shelter, where food was enough for six people, she had very little instant noodles left in her bag, so she packed a dozen more bags in.

The bagged packaging doesn't take up much space and is lightweight.

Yun Zhao thought for a moment, then couldn't resist and stuffed a few packets of biscuits into his hand.

Song Liang, who was sitting opposite her, placed his computer on his lap and began playing the contents of the USB drive.

Time is of the essence.

Song Liang turned the speed up to the highest setting, and a rapid, noisy electronic sound immediately filled the car. The audio was so fast that it was almost impossible to hear the content, like countless bees buzzing in one's ears.

The sentries' nerves simply couldn't take it anymore.

Even when the volume is turned down to the lowest setting, the sound will be amplified infinitely in the enclosed space of a car.

Xie Tu, who was driving, frowned, his sense of irritation intensifying.

"Do you have headphones?" Yun Zhao, the only one unaffected, spoke up. "I'll listen."

"Yes." Despite his discomfort, Song Liang quickly plugged in the earphones and handed them to her.

The computer was still with Song Liang; he watched the screen, while Yun Zhao listened to the audio.

The sentries' keen hearing meant they could still hear the sounds even with headphones plugged in.

The reason I put it out earlier was to take care of Yun Zhao.

Only she could perceive the will-o'-the-wisp on her forehead and the sound of the world turning pages.

Yun Zhao wore headphones and had to carefully listen to the video to understand what the rapidly changing electronic voice was saying.

Song Liang then placed the computer diagonally on his lap so that she could see it when she looked up.

The content seems to be a cultural promotional video for Chengdu.

Each USB drive had a label on it. Song Liang thought that since everyone was suspicious of Facebook and robots, they should start by investigating those two aspects.

It's already past 8 p.m.

Everyone decided to eat dinner in the car.

The truck is full of supplies; help yourself to whatever you want to eat.

Yun Zhao opened a box of self-heating hot pot, the spicy flavor, and while listening to the video, she asked Xie Tu, "Do you want some?"

Xie Tu was driving when he heard this and unconsciously curled the corners of his mouth: "Okay."

"Do you want spicy or tomato flavor?"

"Tomatoes, please."

"Okay." Yun Zhao took out the tomato stew from the box full of food.

Unpack the package, remove the vegetables and seasonings, then place the heating pack on top, pour in mineral water, close the lid, and place it on the supply box. Wait for the water to boil and heat up.

The noise coming from her headphones had no effect on her at all.

While waiting for the hot pot to heat up, she also opened two bags of snacks to pass the time.

When the familiar 'swish' sound flashed by, it was so fast that she was leisurely munching on a bag of potato chips and didn't react for a moment.

"etc."

Yun Zhao was stunned for a long time before he spoke to Song Liang, "Rewind the video and play it at normal speed."

She had been repeating that voice all day; there was absolutely no way she could have misheard it.

Song Liang immediately did as instructed. The sentry's keen hearing had allowed him to hear a 'swish' sound as well, and the video was showing...

Upon hearing that a discovery had been made, the team members all gathered around.

The cultural promotional video had already finished playing, and there had been a cultural introduction, but because the background music was too loud, no one could hear anything.

However, the videos nowadays feature specials introducing traditional culture, and are pure audio documentaries without background music.

Sichuan Opera actors wearing brightly colored masks are demonstrating their training process in front of the camera.

He turned his head and struck a pose, and in that instant, the blue and red mask on his face suddenly changed.

Everyone heard it!

In the instant the mask changed, there were two very distinct sounds, similar to 'chacha' and 'shuashua'!

"Is that Sichuan opera face-changing?!" the team members exclaimed in surprise.
