After shaking hands with Chen Jing, the eyes of the children became obviously empty.
After a moment of hesitation, they suddenly turned around and ran away.
There were three children in total, each running in different directions and to different people.
After rushing to the nearest person, he held his hand, whispered something, and then ran quickly to the next person. The person who heard his words was slightly confused, shook his head, then stood up and ran to other people.
They ran to other people one after another, holding their palms and whispering questions.
Like busy ants, running around, exchanging information with antennae.
If you look down from a high altitude, you will find that these residents scattered in the streets and surrounding buildings, each sitting in their own affairs, started from three ordinary dots and gradually formed a human-shaped network with a specific rhythm.
After they were contacted by these three dots and exchanged information, they immediately contacted other people.
Those who were touched by them ran to touch other people, and then extended in turn.
Each person only touched three people.
After the three half-grown children each touched three people, they were stunned on the spot, their faces a little confused.
They seemed to have forgotten what they had just done.
But at this time, the network had started and spread to the surroundings.
The nine people who were touched by the three of them also touched three people each, and then forgot about it.
But at this time, there were already twenty-seven people who had touched other people.
It was like a tide, spreading around with Chen Jing as the center point.
...
The whole street suddenly became much more lively.
"This is..."
Lu Xin looked at the people in the abandoned city and looked at Chen Jing with some surprise.
He had seen Chen Jing use her abilities before, but he had never thought that her abilities could be used in this way.
So amazing!
Although he felt that the team leader was very powerful before, that was because Chen Jing was decisive and thoughtful, and always protected him and reimbursed his salary, but he never thought that her ability was so strong... He had always thought that Chen Jing's ability was actually only suitable for interrogating prisoners, and could not be applied to large groups or critical situations. .
"This is already my limit."
When Chen Jing turned around, she saw the expressions of Lu Xin and Gehu, and explained with a smile: "I can give them an idea, and with their help, let this idea spread, expand the contact surface little by little, and exchange the information I want."
"It's just that my mental level is limited, and this idea will be diluted in the process of transmission and diffusion."
"The higher the mental level of the person affected, the faster it will be diluted."
"The longer the time, the weaker the influence."
At this point, she sighed softly and said: "So, I can only influence a few hundred people at most at a time..."
"Hundreds?"
Lu Xin's eyes became more direct.
The team leader should be being modest at this time, right?
From the tone, yes.
But why do I hear a sense of arrogance?
…
After determining the strategy, they became somewhat relaxed.
If this method can be used to locate the location of the laboratory as quickly as possible, then all aspects of the work will undoubtedly be much smoother.
Protecting Chen Jing on both sides, they walked forward along the middle street.
After walking for about five or six minutes, they saw that the people running on the street slowed down.
Some of them were confused, some were surprised, and looked down at their hands, not knowing why they were running so panicked just now.
Only people were running around, but no one came to report anything to Chen Jing.
"Keep going!"
Chen Jing said softly: "This area is safe."
"…"
They had no means of transportation, so they could only walk into the city. In addition to Chen Jing's spreading search through her ability, they were also paying attention to some details. For example, the occasional lights, the flatness of the road, the obstacles that were cleared, etc.
Since there is a laboratory here, it must be connected to the outside world.
First of all, the laboratory must be inseparable from electricity, so places with electricity may be related to the laboratory.
In addition, the laboratory must need different materials to be transported, so the roads around it must be smoother than other places. In addition, there are many details to find problems, such as street lights, surveillance, the number of residents around, and some new building foundations in this abandoned city that seem to have been recently repaired, etc., are all clues.
Every time they move forward a certain distance, Chen Jing will use his ability once, wait for a moment, and then continue to move forward.
Therefore, they basically just walk on the road and look around at the same time.
Gradually, an hour later, they are about to pass through the outer city and reach the middle city.
At this time, several figures suddenly ran over in front of them, their eyes were confused, but their eyes were extremely anxious.
"There is electricity, there are electric lights..."
A person came to Chen Jing, repeating it in his mouth and pointing to a place.
"Cars, big cars, lots of big cars..."
Someone gestured nervously with his hands and also looked at that place.
"Beep, beep, beep..."
Someone imitated the sound of the propeller turning, and then said: "High-rise building, high-rise building inside..."
Chen Jing breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Found it."
She shook hands with the three people, then took out a few fifty-yuan alliance coins, stuffed one into their ragged pockets, and whispered: "Thank you, you can go back and forget about this."
The three ragged people left blankly, like wooden people.
"It is certain that the laboratory is indeed here."
Chen Jing turned her head to look at Lu Xin and Gekko, and said: "Where there is electricity, there are many vehicles passing by, and there will be a place where helicopters land directly, it must be very close to our target. And the high-rise building they pointed to should be..."
She cast her eyes in the direction where the three people were looking just now.
Before the Red Moon incident, Buffalo was just a mid-level city, and there were not many real high-rise buildings.
From where they were, they could see one.
Judging from the distance, it should be located in the center of Buffalo, and it can be seen from a distance.
…
"Leaders are leaders, and they found it so soon?"
Lu Xin sighed in his heart, and his face showed admiration.
The gecko "tsk" and laughed: "The team leader must know a lot of gossip in the department..."
Chen Jing glared at the gecko and said: "Let's go!"
Lu Xin followed him and walked forward honestly, glancing at the gecko with his eyes.
I think this guy was bullied by the leader, and it was also his own fault...
Look how well he performed!
…
At this time, Chen Jing, Lu Xin and others were in a room only a few streets away. Someone was sitting in a room full of surveillance screens. The room was not lit, and only the blue light of the display screen hit his bearded face.
He looked down with a serious look, sniffed it again, and confirmed an important thing.
The noodles were already soaked.
So, he ate the instant noodles while looking at the densely packed computer screen.
Many people were shown on the screen. They were coming in from different directions of the city, and then searching bit by bit with their own methods. When these people had almost entered the central city area, he wiped his mouth and stood up reluctantly. He took out a black videotape about seven or eight centimeters thick from a black box.
Then he walked to an old-fashioned recorder, pushed the black videotape in, and watched the numbers start to jump.
Then he put his mind at ease and went back to deal with his bowl of instant noodles.
…
…
Lu Xin, Chen Jing, and Gehu determined the general direction, and their speed increased a lot.
But they all remained vigilant, holding guns in their hands.
At this time, night had fallen.
At the location Chen Jing pointed to, a faint red light could be seen.
Although some refugees could be seen shrinking from time to time, the whole city was very quiet.
It was so quiet that it made people panic, and it seemed that they could hear their own heartbeats.
Gradually, as they continued to move forward and went deeper into the central city, they encountered more and more refugees.
It seemed that the intelligence from the central city was correct. A large number of refugees had gathered here. Although it was still desolate and dilapidated as a whole, because so many people gathered here, the city no longer looked as dead as it did outside.
It was a city of living people.
Going further, they even saw lights, and then supermarkets, restaurants, bars, and coffee shops in turn.
There were men rushing to work, and women standing on the roadside with small bags, and elementary school students lined up to cross the road with thick schoolbags on their backs. Lights lit up one after another, and neon lights of various colors woven a dizzying color.
They found themselves in a bustling city without knowing when, and there were crowds everywhere.
"Something is wrong..."
Suddenly, the three of them stopped.
They looked at each other, and saw each other's faces with strange expressions.
The pupils of the gecko shrank slightly: "There shouldn't be so many people here."
"Not just people..."
Chen Jing sighed softly and said: "Even if there is electricity here, it shouldn't be wasted like this."
...
Lu Xin could feel that both of them were a little nervous at this time.
After thinking carefully, he also understood.
After seeing this bustling street, the three of them actually reacted after a few seconds.
The first impression was that it felt very normal, and they accepted the normality of this city very naturally, and tried to integrate into it.
There was even a feeling of returning to Qinggang.
If it weren't for the three of them who could remind each other, they might not have reacted until now.
Reality and falsehood, the connection is extremely natural.
