94 Monitoring
◎She seemed... to be looking at the original owner◎
An experimental base.
The researcher was a little puzzled. Chu Qing had been muttering to himself ever since that day.
Professor Chu has never been normal, and now he is even more neurotic than before.
He often spent hours in contact with pollutants.
Chu Qing stood by the window, with his experimental subject below him. The cold metal door had been pushed open a crack, and sticky red pollutants were breathing.
Being close to this thing will make people feel instinctively uncomfortable, which is difficult to block even through a layer of glass window.
Generally, researchers do not stay here for work unless they need to collect data. After the data collection is completed, no one wants to become food for pollutants.
However, Chu Qing was actively approaching the pollutants and had already reached his limit. A glass wall blocked his way.
He could feel the biting cold and hear the heartbeat of the pollutants.
Chu Qing observed it and recorded it. Most researchers just treated their work as a job, but for Chu Qing, he was obsessed with his experimental subjects.
"Like" isn't accurate; he's obsessed.
hiss--
Chu Qing sucked in a breath of cold air, his teeth chattering, his fear of the pollutants rapidly rising, and his mental strength could not support him to continue.
This is the maximum distance he can get close to pollutants, and it is also the maximum distance ordinary people can get close to pollutants. As long as he takes another step, the alarm here will sound wildly.
Chu Qing stopped, fearful of the living insects crawling up like dense swarms, pricking her back like needles.
This corridor is very cold, and they have done cryogenic treatment to reduce the activity of pollutants.
Chu Qing's glasses were covered with white mist, and his eyes were filled with white. This was his weakness. He was unwilling to accept any degree of transformation, and even refused to undergo the very mature myopia surgery. As long as he took off his glasses, he could not see the world clearly.
What is the future of mankind?
In the past, Chu Qing felt that only first-class citizens could be called human beings, and the others were man-made things. Why should those things be considered human beings?
But if Zhu Ning is a successful Alpha series experiment, then what is she?
If first-class citizens are pure-blooded humans in Chu Qing's eyes, then what are people like Zhu Ning who have evolved to the top of the pyramid?
God?
Chu Qing carefully felt his fear, then took off his glasses.
…
Ant blood.
This matter was more troublesome than the Abnormal Event Team had imagined. Aliens appeared inside the wall. They requested support twice and it took three days to completely deal with the matter.
They don't even know if this is the end of the matter.
The internal structure of the ant acupoints is very strange. Aliens hide in the chessboard-structured ant acupoints and randomly attack their employees.
Three demon hunters and four cleaners died in this incident, fifteen people were seriously injured, and thirty people were slightly injured.
But despite all their efforts, they failed to achieve complete purification. The land has been polluted and they are unable to eliminate all alien species.
Finally, the protective shield was lowered and a notice was issued to disperse the surrounding residents.
Huo Wenxi had to announce that the Yixue position had been lost.
Most people have evacuated from the ant school, but as a precaution, the abnormal incident team remained nearby. They were stationed here to make a final investigation report.
Most of the time, the Abnormal Events Team does not exist to solve problems. Their department's biggest responsibility is to investigate the truth.
They had a hovercraft near Yixue. Huo Wenxi took off her protective helmet in the car. She had long hair, which was braided into a pigtail and tied behind her head. After taking off the helmet, the long braid hung down naturally.
Huo Wenxi's pure white protective suit was covered in blood and stains, but she ignored it, lit a cigarette, and read her subordinates' investigation report.
"Team leader, you haven't given up yet?" Her partner's name is Zhuang Lin.
Huo Wenxi: "It's too obvious anomaly."
Huo Wenxi pulled out a document and said, "Before we entered, someone had already entered and left traces at the scene. The three buildings near Building 35, 34, 36, and 37, all showed signs of distortion and burns."
Huo Wenxi pulled out a photo, which they had taken a screenshot of from a video of demon hunters on the front line.
The sky corridor of Yixue was cut off at the front and back, and the inside was set on fire, forming a flaming cage with the corpses of alien species inside.
Zhuang Lin reminded: "You haven't slept for three days."
Compared to the truth, he wanted Huo Wenxi to take a break. If his team leader continued to work so hard, they would lose an elite.
Huo Wenxi raised the hand holding the cigarette, motioning him to shut up, and continued his train of thought: "At least two psychics, and they killed a source of contamination, and didn't have time to contain the contaminated spores."
The contaminated spores were not contained and were flying all over the sky when entering the scene.
There are pollutants here. Judging from the surface, the tomb posts attracted folk demon hunters to come in. They probably felt that they had caused trouble and could not clean up the mess, so they ran away. Prometheus then took emergency measures.
Zhuang Lin glanced out the window and saw that the outside of the ant's body was covered with a protective shield, but it was hard to say whether this A-level protective shield could block the attack.
Yixue has always been in the queue and has never been taken seriously, but this time he appeared in a very high-profile manner.
Fortunately, it was discovered in time. If the pollution had expanded, it would have been very troublesome.
Their losses this time were minimal.
Zhuang Lin also thought this incident was very strange, "We didn't capture anything."
Yixue has been in disrepair for a long time and there are no cameras inside, but there are cameras on the road leading into Yixue, and there are also several cameras on all sides that can be used.
But there was no information, they seemed to appear suddenly and then just as suddenly vanished.
Someone erased all traces of them, which reminds people of Prometheus.
However, any hacker can achieve the same level. No matter who enters, there is at least an organization behind them.
Huo Wenxi and Zhuang Lin exchanged a glance. "And it happens to be a metal-related ability. He might be the one Xuan Qing and the others were looking for a while ago."
The incident was actually first discovered by the Abnormal Team. Someone was looking for a metal-type mutant. No one paid attention to it when it first happened. The Abnormal Team reported it after discovering it.
Only then did Xuanqing start to pay attention. She tried to find traces in the cleaning center and found a highly suspected person, but was not sure.
I heard that the person was released.
Huo Wenxi found the information of cleaning team A70265, which consisted of three people: Xu Meng, Li Nianchuan, and Zhu Ning.
Their team had only been formed for a month, but they had already gone on a B-level aquarium mission. The person who stood out the most in that incident was Zhu Ning.
Zhuang Lin has been following this line. He also found the video of Zhu Ning being interrogated to see if she has any loopholes.
I have to say, either Zhu Ning is really just an "ordinary" cleaner who is relatively high-profile and has nothing to do with any weird conspiracy.
If Zhu Ning is really that person, then her psychological quality is top-notch. This is the kind of person Zhuang Lin is most afraid of meeting.
It's so troublesome.
Zhuang Lin thought Huo Wenxi would keep a close eye on Zhu Ning this time, but he didn't expect her to draw out the information of a third person.
Xu Meng.
Huo Wenxi pointed his finger at it and asked, "Do you know her?"
Zhuang Lin had never noticed this person at all. Among the three people, Xu Meng was the least conspicuous. Li Nianchuan was quite impressive. A video of him wanting to be a sister's puppy was uploaded to the forum, and Zhuang Lin had seen it.
But, Xu Meng?
Zhuang Lin had no impression at all, and Xu Meng's performance in the aquarium was not outstanding either.
The skills he displayed were just above average, slightly better than Li Nianchuan, but probably far behind Zhu Ning.
And why would Huo Wenxi pay attention to her? Is she related to the ant-shaped incident?
Zhuang Lin: "Is there something wrong with her?"
Huo Wenxi: "There is definitely a problem."
Zhuang Lin couldn't understand Huo Wenxi's train of thought at all. "Why?"
Huo Wenxi: "Check her out."
Zhuang Lin opened the internal network on the spot and started doing his homework so that the abnormal event team could see more information. He paused and saw a personnel change in Xu Meng's personal profile.
Xu Meng was a retired demon hunter. His information did not indicate which team he belonged to. He then joined the cleaning department.
But this is not a special thing. Many demon hunters will choose to return to work after retiring. For injured demon hunters, cleaner is a good job.
The people inside their center were also happy to see this situation, and the internal talents absorbed it directly.
Zhuang Lin frowned, "You don't think it was her who entered the ant acupoint, do you?"
This is too far-fetched and has no idea whatsoever.
But Huo Wenxi is usually very accurate, even more accurate than fortune telling. In Zhuang Lin's eyes, she is just a witch.
They all know that you should not be targeted by the little fortune teller, otherwise you will be skinned alive.
Zhuang Lin went to check Xu Meng's whereabouts on the day of the incident. It was actually quite easy to check. The data showed that Xu Meng had no tasks that day and should have been resting.
They could investigate the surveillance around Xu Meng by simply applying for an order, but at the moment, Zhuang Lin felt that it was unnecessary.
Huo Wenxi shook his head: "It wasn't her who went in."
Xu Meng's personality wouldn't allow him to do such a dangerous thing.
Huo Wenxi paused after saying this. It was difficult for her to describe this feeling. There was something wrong with Xu Meng, and of course Zhu Ning had a problem too. They were not necessarily all related to Yixue.
Zhu Ning, Xu Meng.
The two are related, and they have intersected at some point.
If we think linearly, we shouldn't think this way when searching for the truth about Yixue, but Huo Wenxi feels that they are all on the same network, shrouded in the same doubts.
Huo Wenxi only found two points, which seemed to have no strong connection. Once she established the connection, she could not only solve the problem of ants, but she might also discover new anomalies.
She would understand the whole thing in an instant.
Zhuang Lin was still waiting for her to explain why he thought there was something wrong with Xu Meng.
Huo Wenxi put out the cigarette and chose to remain silent in the face of Zhuang Lin's questioning gaze.
…
Zhu Ning is currently playing the role of Cheese, in other words, she is taking a break.
After that day, Lin Xiaofeng became particularly attached to her, but her way of clinging was a little special. She didn't talk and was very quiet, just like a red hat floating next to her.
Zhu Ning guessed that he might have scared her, so he didn't go out recently and stayed at home with Lin Xiaofeng.
What a ten-year-old child needs is companionship, and Song Zhizhang can’t always be the one to come.
The two of them seemed to be working in shifts, and Song Zhizhang had been resting during the day recently.
Zhu Ning sat cross-legged on the sofa, a war movie was playing on TV, and Lin Xiaofeng hugged his knees while watching the movie.
Zhu Ning was distracted and wanted to ask about Labao's progress.
After opening the dialog box, I realized that only a few days had passed. I urged the progress of the garbage collection before entering the mechanical aquarium, and now only six days have passed.
But she seemed to think that after several months, Song Zhizhang was right. If people frequently enter polluted areas, they will gradually lose the concept of time.
It will drive you crazy.
Zhu Ning felt that he needed to rest for a while.
Zhu Ning thought so, but he did not stop urging Labao at all. In Labao's view, he might be an unscrupulous boss who came to urge people to do their work less than a week later.
Zhu Ning sent a smiling emoticon, intending to convey the death stare from the buyer.
Labao returned a wider smile: [Ningbao! Hello!]
Zhu Ning: “…”
She felt that this little robot probably lacked the emotional intelligence for interpersonal communication and was completely unable to understand Zhu Ning's subtext.
Zhu Ning spoke more bluntly, [Where is my video?]
Labao: [I found it! A lot!]
Zhu Ning hadn't originally intended to place any hope on this, and she had never expected the progress to come so suddenly. Then Zhu Ning's secondary brain flashed, and Labao sent her a 2TB video.
Zhu Ning was stunned by this massive amount of material. If it were before, it might take her several days just to watch the videos.
But now she has data capabilities. She closes her eyes, and the secondary brain instantly unfolds in her mind. She herself is like a data point wandering in the network of the secondary brain.
Zhu Ning quickly browsed through it, which took about three minutes.
Three minutes later, Zhu Ning opened his eyes.
Most of the videos Labao sent her were useless. Some were meaningless empty shots. Several hours of footage only had an abandoned white garbage bag being blown by the wind, as if it was dancing in the corner.
Labao has been captured in a large number of videos because it often picks up trash nearby. When it is alone, the words "Labao" will be displayed on the screen.
Trash~Trash~
It is not connected to the sound system and cannot speak, so it can only talk to itself in text. Sometimes a few expressions will appear on the screen of Labao.
Labao's work style emphasizes putting happiness first. He wanders happily in the garbage dump with happy expressions on his face, and sometimes a few lyrics are scrolling on the screen.
Like singing.
In a garbage dump where no one cares, Labao works alone and sings silently.
Zhu Ning felt a little depressed watching the videos. If these videos were put together, they should be called "Labao Work Log". She had never been forced to watch a little robot dance from multiple angles.
Wait, Zhu Ning suddenly opened his eyes, and data was surging in his eyes.
With so much material, she only found one useful video, and the video was very short, making it very easy to miss.
Zhu Ning was actually captured in the video, but it wasn't very high definition, and there was only a figure.
Zhu Ning paused the video and zoomed in on a blurry face.
This feeling is also quite strange. You are looking at yourself, but it seems that you are not looking at yourself, but at another person.
And it's your dead self, you are watching her... "life" image.
You know nothing about your other self. She is too mysterious. Zhu Ning still hasn't figured out the original owner's motive.
Before she was sure whether she was the original owner, she would call the woman in the video the original owner.
Judging from the angle, this shot should have been taken at the entrance of the landfill, so it was captured, but the camera was shot from a very low position, so the person was somewhat distorted and stretched in the camera.
Her figure was exactly the same as his, and she was wearing a black windbreaker with a standing collar, which made her look mysterious.
Zhu Ning had no wounds on her body at that time. She walked hurriedly and after entering the garbage dump, she suddenly looked in this direction.
She took a look before continuing to move forward. The whole process took no more than two seconds. In fact, she appeared in the camera range for less than thirty seconds.
The video was very blurry, and no matter how much you zoomed in, you couldn't see Zhu Ning's expression, but you could see him turning his head.
Why look back?
Would a normal person look back here? Her action was not even that of a vigilant look around, but a precise glance over.
Zhu Ning had an illusion that she seemed to be... looking into the eyes of the original owner.
