Chapter 128 Banxia Runs Fast
Building A of New Century Plaza was the tallest building in Jiangsu Province when it was completed. It is now the tallest building in Qinhuai District and ranks seventh in height in Nanjing. There are more than 20 skyscrapers over 200 meters in Nanjing. After the extinction of humans, no animals except birds can occupy them, so the skyscrapers have become super-high-rise luxurious bird nests. The glass is covered with white and black dry bird droppings, a thick layer that looks like unmelted snow.
The big eyes are perched on the roof.
It crawled around the outer wall of the building, carefully choosing its footing so as not to disturb any bird nests on the windowsills or balconies. Such a huge creature walked lightly, as if it was dancing ballet on eggs.
The huge pupils scan outside every window - we still have no idea what means the big eyes rely on to actively obtain information from the outside world. It seems to be visible light, infrared, or maybe sound, but there is no doubt that its vision is sensitive. It can detect and lock onto a little man a kilometer away in a few seconds in complex urban terrain, in a vast area of more than ten square kilometers, and in the pitch-black night when you can't see your hand in front of you. It doesn't take such a big eye to be wasted.
Banxia was hiding in the building, curled up under the front desk in the lobby. She knew it was right above her head.
At this moment, she is the prey and the other party is the hunter.
They play hunting games in the huge concrete jungle built by humans.
The girl slowly held her breath. She heard the thing crawling down. Building A of New Century Plaza was more than 230 meters high, but for a big spider with a span of seven or eight meters, it was only about twenty feet from the top of the building to the bottom, which was quite a leisurely stroll. The thing circled on the outer wall and stopped on the first floor.
The noise outside suddenly quieted down.
Banxia thought it was going to speak again, but it didn't. The thing just stayed outside for a long time.
The girl discovered a pattern: whenever the big eyes appeared, no sound would be heard around. She didn't know if this was a coincidence, but when it appeared, everything seemed to be silent.
The wait in the darkness and silence was extremely long and tormenting. Banxia could see nothing, hear nothing, and could not feel the flow of time. After an unknown amount of time, she finally heard footsteps again, and her big eyes slowly crawled away.
The "click, click" sound gradually faded away and finally disappeared.
Banxia breathed a sigh of relief, her whole body drenched in sweat.
The night in Nanjing returned to normal only after Big Eyes walked away. The girl heard the sound of the wind, the rustling of mice crawling, and the cry of owls again, as if the whole world had just held its breath.
"Dad... this is BG4MSR, can you hear me?"
Banxia turned on the walkie-talkie and tried to call Bai Zhen.
"BG...bad...bad..."
There was a crackling sound in the radio and nothing could be heard. The nearby tall buildings blocked the radio signal. Banxia slowly got up, stepped over the garbage on the ground, and approached the gate. Only then did the signal gradually become clear.
"This is Daddy... Are you... ok? Convey... Location... Command is planning a route, we have to bring you back safely, OVER."
"I...I'm in New Century Plaza, the tallest building here."
"New Century Plaza Building A!"

"We've arrived at the location."
Bai Yang and Lian Qiao stood in front of the gate of Building A of New Century Plaza. There were so many people here. It was worthy of being the bustling city center, with a lot of traffic.
"The swordsman's behavior pattern is being simulated and the blind spot route is being screened. According to the current information, the swordsman is likely to move westward. Over." Someone was talking in the channel.
"Moving westward?" Bai Yang turned his head. "Then it is returning to Xinjiekou."
"The results of the field of vision measurement are out and have been sent to your mobile phones. Lianqiao, please pay attention. Red is a dangerous area with a high probability of exposure. Orange is a risk area with a possibility of exposure. Green is a safe area. When choosing a route, try to pass through the green area. Over."
"Attention Command! 03, the route screening results have been sent to you, please check them, over!"
Huge amounts of data from the cloud are fed into the headquarters. The world's most powerful supercomputer is simulating everything in the background, with a floating-point computing speed of more than 900 quadrillion times per second. Lian Qiao can see the safe zone calculated in real time. She has a 3D map on her phone with six red dots moving on the map. They represent where the big eyes may be, and all areas they can see are marked in red. The only safe area is behind the building. The long-extinct humans left behind this huge steel and concrete jungle, leaving the girl with the only way to survive.
The six red dots are moving every moment, and the safe area is changing rapidly.
Hiding in the shadow of the building, Lao Zhao said this.
Then run!
"Are you familiar with this piece?" Lian Qiao asked Bai Yang.
"Yes." Bai Yang said, "Ke Xiang, he often comes to eat here."
"Then you show me the way and I'll lead you." Lian Qiao said, "Is that okay?"
"Okay." Bai Yang nodded.
Lian Qiao held Bai Yang's wrist tightly.
"Everyone get ready—"
Zhao Bowen stood in front of the big screen, his eyes fixed on the map in front of him. The complex and crowded buildings in Qinhuai District were the best cover, and he could take the girl away from here safely.
Banxia took a deep breath and fastened the walkie-talkie to the shoulder strap of her backpack. Although twenty years apart, she and Baiyang were standing on the same starting line.
On the map, they were blue dots of light, and in front of them was the broad Zhongshan East Road. Old Zhao stared at that dot, that building, and that road until the green shadow of the building slowly tilted, and the square in front of Building A of New Century Plaza became a blind spot for his big eyes.
"run!"
Forsythia pulled the poplar and moved quickly along the wall, with Pinellia following closely.
"Walk along the wall and turn right at the corner! Sister Qiao, you can see the white words New Century Plaza! Go in the direction of Building B!"
"Sister Qiao, watch out for the cars!"
"Go straight for a hundred meters! Go through it, faster! Faster, faster, faster, faster!"
Bai Yang lowered his head and didn't look at the road. He either stared at the map or looked up to identify the surrounding environment. Lian Qiao pulled him and ran under the huge blue billboard of the New Century Plaza. The two of them passed through the crowd and the moving safe zone. Banxia moved in sync with them. If Bai Yang took a step forward, she would take a step forward, and if Bai Yang took a step back, she would take a step back.
"Right in front of us is Building 10 on Ke Lane. Do you see that wonton shop?"
"Turn left! Don't cross the road, turn left!"
"stop!"
"Walk against the wall!"
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Get the hell out of the way!" Lian Qiao shouted angrily.
"Fuck your mother, are you in a hurry to visit the grave?" Someone was pushed by her and turned around to curse.
"Go to your mother's grave!" Lian Qiao grabbed Bai Yang tightly and rushed past a brightly lit Chongqing noodles, mutton soup and rice noodles restaurant. The restaurant entrance was filled with steam and hot air on a winter night. Ke Lane was the canteen for Nanjing locals. They were running around in the canteen at great speed.
"Turn in! Turn in!"
"Stop! Stop! Stop!"
Bai Yang shouted and grabbed Lian Qiao's hand, pulling her to a stop. On the map, a large red light slowly swept in front of them, and the two of them turned into a residential area to hide.
After the red light passes, turn out and continue running.
"This is CFC, turn in!"
"Go forward to Block B and turn right!"
"Sister Qiao, you pulled too tight, it hurts..."
"What if you get lost if I don't hold on tighter?" Lian Qiao not only didn't let go, but also increased the strength, tightly grasping his wrist, "We agreed that you are responsible for pointing the way, and I am responsible for running!"
For a long time, Lianqiao had been urging Baiyang to run five kilometers every morning. This came in handy. Baiyang was dragged along and was able to keep up with Lianqiao's speed.
"There's a Pindasan building on the corner ahead, and then there's Building B, and across from it is the Foreign Trade Port Building... This area is the most dangerous, and it will be much safer if you leave it."
"If we speed up a bit, we'll be out of danger soon."
There really was a Jiapin Dasan downstairs in Building C, with a big red sign. Only when I got to the door did I realize that it was a restaurant. There were advertisements for stone pot tiger skin chicken feet, xiaolongbao, and roast pork elbows hanging at the door.
Lian Qiao is 1.75 meters tall with long legs. Every step she takes is very big. She can walk through the door of Pindasan’s restaurant in one step.
But Banxia slammed on the brakes in front of the third gate of Pinda.
This was the first time she failed to keep up with Bai Yang's pace.
The girl stood on the sidewalk, feeling cold all over and her hands and feet shaking, and she heard someone talking on the other side of the restaurant's corner.
"Where are you? I found you—"
