After shaking hands with Chen Jing, the eyes of those children obviously became a little hollow.
After being stunned for a moment, 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, she took his hand, asked something in a low voice, and then quickly ran to the next person. The people who listened to his words showed confusion, shook their heads, then stood up and ran towards the other people.
One by one, they ran towards other people, holding their hands and asking in low voices.
Like busy ants, running around, exchanging information with their tentacles.
If you look at it from a high altitude, you will find that these residents are scattered in the streets and surrounding buildings, each sitting and doing their own things. Starting from three ordinary small dots, they gradually formed a large human-shaped network with a specific rhythm.
After they were contacted by these three small points and exchanged information, they immediately went to contact other people.
Those who were touched by them ran to touch other people, and so on.
Each person only comes into contact with three people.
After the three and a half-year-old children came into contact with three people each, they were already stunned on the spot, with confused expressions on their faces.
They seemed to have forgotten what they had just done.
But at this time, this network has begun to activate and spread around.
The nine people contacted by the three of them also contacted three of them each, and then forgot about it.
But at this time, there were already twenty-seven people going to contact other people.
This is like a tide, with Chen Jing as the center point, spreading to the surroundings.
The whole street suddenly became a lot more lively.
"This is..."
Lu Xin looked at the people in this abandoned city and looked at Chen Jing in surprise.
He had seen Chen Jing use her abilities before, but he never thought that her abilities could be used like this.
So awesome!
Although he had felt that the team leader was very powerful in the past, that was because Chen Jing acted resolutely, and considering Zhou Quan, she always protected him and reimbursed him 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, but could not be applied to large groups or critical situations.
"This is my limit."
When Chen Jing turned around, he saw the expressions of Lu Xin and Gecko, and explained with a smile, "I can give them an idea, and with the help of them, let this idea spread, expand the contact area bit by bit, and exchange the information I want."
"It's just that my mental capacity 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 time passes, the weaker the influence will be."
At this point, she sighed softly and said, "So, I can only influence a few hundred people at a time..."
"Hundreds?"
Lu Xin looked straighter.
The team leader must be being modest at this time, right?
Yes according to the tone.
But why is there an inexplicable sense of arrogance?
After deciding on the strategy, they became a little more relaxed.
If this method can be used to lock the location of the laboratory as quickly as possible, then undoubtedly all aspects of work will go much smoother.
Protecting Chen Jing from the left and right, he walked forward along the street in the middle.
After walking like this for about five or six minutes, I saw the crowds of people running on the street slowing down.
Some of the people were confused and some were surprised. They looked down at their hands, wondering why they were running so panicked just now.
There were just people running around, but no one came to report anything to Chen Jing.
"Keep walking!"
Chen Jing said softly, "This area is safe."
"..."
They had no means of transportation and could only walk into the city. In addition to searching for Chen Jing through her ability to spread, they were also paying attention to some details. For example, the lights occasionally come on, the smoothness of the road, the obstacles being cleared, etc.
Since there is a laboratory here, it will definitely contact the outside world.
First of all, the laboratory must be inseparable from electricity, so wherever there is electricity, it may be related to the laboratory.
Furthermore, the laboratory definitely requires different materials to be transported, so the roads around it must be smoother than other places. Furthermore, there are many details that can be used to find problems, such as street lights, surveillance, the number of surrounding residents, and in this entire abandoned city, some of them look brand new, such as the recently repaired building foundations, etc., etc., etc., these are all clues.
Every time he goes forward, Chen Jing will use his ability, wait for a moment, and then continue to move forward.
So they were basically just walking down the road while looking around.
Gradually, an hour later, they had almost passed through the outer city and reached the middle city.
At this moment, several figures suddenly ran over from the front. Their eyes were confused, but their expressions were unusually anxious.
"There is electricity, there are electric lights..."
A man came to Chen Jing, repeating it and pointing to a place.
"Cars, big cars, lots of big cars..."
Someone was gesturing nervously with both hands and looking at that place as well.
"Dududu, dududu..."
Someone imitated the sound of propellers turning, and then said, "Tall buildings, the tall buildings inside..."
Chen Jing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Found it."
As she spoke, she shook hands with each of these three people, then took out several fifty-yuan denominations of Alliance currency, stuffed one into each of their tattered pockets, and said softly, "Thank you, you can go back and forget about this matter."
These three men in ragged clothes walked away in a daze, like wooden figures.
"I can confirm that the laboratory is indeed here."
Chen Jing turned to look at Lu Xin and Gecko, and said, "Wherever there is electricity, there are many vehicles passing by, and there are places where helicopters will land directly. It must be very close to our target. And the tall building they are pointing to should be..."
She cast her gaze in the direction where the three people were looking just now.
Buffalo City Before Crimson Moon incident, it was only a mid-level municipal city with not many real high-rise buildings.
From where they were, they could just see one.
Judging from the distance, it should be located in the center of Buffalo City, visible from a distance.
"A leader is a leader, have you found it now?"
Lu Xin sighed in his heart, with a look of admiration on his face.
Gecko "tsk" and said with a smile, "The team leader must know a lot of gossip in the department..."
Chen Jing glared at Gecko and said, "Let's go!"
Lu Xin followed forward honestly, glancing at Gecko from the corner of his eye.
I feel that this guy was forced to wear small shoes by his boss, and it was his fault...
See how well you perform!
At this time, Chen Jing, Lu Xin and others were in a room only a few blocks away. Someone was sitting in a room full of surveillance screens. There were no lights on in this room, and only the blue light from the display screen hit his unshaven face.
He looked down seriously and smelled it again, confirming something important.
The noodles are already soaked.
So, he snored while eating instant noodles while looking at the dense computer screen.
There were many people on the screen. They were coming in from different directions in the city, and then using their own methods to search bit by bit. When these people had almost entered the central city area, he wiped his mouth and stood up reluctantly. From a black box, a black video tape seven to eight centimeters thick was taken out.
Then he walked over to an old VCR, pushed the black video tape in, and watched as the numbers began to pulse.
Then he felt relieved and continued to come back to deal with his bowl of instant noodles.
Lu Xin, Chen Jing, and Gecko determined the general direction and speeded up a lot.
But they all remained alert and kept their guns in their hands.
By this time, night had fallen.
Where Chen Jing is pointing, you can faintly see some red light.
Although you can see some cowering figures of refugees around you from time to time, the whole city is extremely quiet.
It was so quiet that it seemed like you could hear your own heartbeat.
Gradually, as they continued to advance deeper into the city, they encountered more and more refugees.
It seems that Central City's information is correct. A large number of refugees have gathered here. Although overall, it is still desolate and dilapidated, but because so many people have gathered, the city no longer looks as lifeless as outside.
It is a city of living people.
Going further, they even saw lights, and then saw supermarkets, restaurants, bars, and coffee shops in sequence.
There were men hurriedly going to work, women standing on the roadside carrying small bags, and elementary school students crossing the road in groups carrying thick schoolbags. Lights lit up piece by piece, and neon lights of various colors weaved into a dizzying color.
They found that they had arrived at a bustling city at some point, with bustling crowds everywhere.
"Something's wrong..."
Suddenly, the three of them stopped.
They looked at each other and saw the strange expressions on each other's faces that had just woken up.
Gecko's pupils shrank slightly. "There shouldn't be so many people here."
"It's not just people..."
Chen Jing breathed a sigh of relief 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.
Recalling it carefully, he also understood.
After the three of them saw this bustling street, it actually took them a few seconds to react.
The first impression is that it feels very normal. I very naturally accept the normality of this city and try to integrate into it.
There is even a feeling of returning to Qinggang.
If it weren't for the fact that there were three of them who could remind each other, they might not have been able to react until now.
The connection between reality and fiction is extremely natural.
