Chapter 8: Doubts (8)

"I'm really convinced that every photo can tell you the truth. I change it to me. Apart from looking good and ugly, I'm afraid I can't say a word."

"It doesn't matter whether it looks good or bad," Francine shook his head, a trace of melancholy flashed across his emerald green eyes:

"Everything is illusory. Wu, I have a terrible reasoning about the nature of this world. Would you like to listen now, or wait?"

"This is really a coincidence. I also have an unpleasant inference." Suo Zhongwu felt his heart pounding wildly, his right hand and the power armor auxiliary hand made a fist together, causing the muscles to make a faint neigh:

"I just contacted you just to discuss this matter. I think our inferences are likely to be exactly the same."

"It's very likely." Francine stared at his partner, the warrior's nose line, which looked particularly supple at the moment:

"Let me take a look at your picture. The one shown to Gerald earlier. I really want to see what key you used to open the maze door."

"The QR code on the can of condensed milk." Suo Zhongwu raised his arm and called out the screen again with a slight embarrassment:

"It's also a coincidence that the name they gave to the QR code is just'Endless Labyrinth'. You are doing research over there. I am talking about the mountains here, and I don't know what's going on, so I suddenly talked about ancient decorative patterns. , Led to such a thing. Fran, QR codes, barcodes and Chinese characters can be found on the unearthed cultural relics of this world. Gerrard believes that these are the heritage of the ancient empire, but I think they are just buried It’s just ancient wrapping paper."

"I totally agree with this." Francine Davos nodded solemnly:

"They are the remains of past civilizations, the very few lucky ones who have escaped disaster. Just like the English phrase AfterDoom, they are deeply imprinted on this——"

"——The wasteland world reborn after destruction." Although there was no prior rehearsal, Suo Zhongwu and Francine said this inference in unison.The heavy burden was immediately removed from his shoulders, and he felt unprecedented ease, and the muscles of the cheeks were no longer sore and swollen.

"The most difficult problem is finally solved." After a long time, Suo Zhongwu once again showed a sincere smile.He rubbed the roots of his ears, rubbed vigorously, then looked back at Kotweimel, and exhaled his chest full of breath in peace:

"If you know what's going on here, it will be easy. Fran, when will you draft a written report? Follow-up negotiations or air strikes, let the old Wang use his brains."

"Of course it's best to be able to do this." Francine freed his auxiliary hand and quickly wiped off the beads of sweat sticking to the scar on his forehead.Although she was standing side by side with Suo Zhongwu, her eyes were completely different. First, the flickering lights among the battlements, and then turned to Gerard Chevalier who was waiting in place:

"However, there are some things that we still haven't figured out. Like the nature of the hereditary mage family, and those weird green-skinned races, the fantasy flavor in it is too strong. Wu, the orc head that the village master showed us, you Didn’t you take a sample?"

"Don't mention it. It's not a normal smell." Suo Zhongwu tweeted dissatisfiedly, recalling the unpleasant experience:

"I think, if this is a wasteland world reborn after a disaster, mages, orcs, etc., should not be difficult to explain. Hereditary mages are probably elites hiding in refuges and multiplying from generation to generation; orcs It’s even simpler. Isn’t their homeland a bad place? "The land is full of ruins and poisonous." It looks like a destroyed ancient city. Maybe the ancestors of the green skin race were mortals, but they have been suffering for thousands of years. Radiation, this mutated into an inhuman appearance."

"Don't say it. The story you made up sounds so reasonable." Francine couldn't help but smile.But her smile quickly disappeared, and a very rare mask appeared on her face, an invisible mask made of worry:

"However, radiation mutation is not a panacea. Just before our eyes, there is a problem that has not been explained, and it is still a difficult problem that cannot be avoided."

Suo Zhongwu immediately understood the idea of ​​his partner."The soil is not hurt." He let the term slip across his tongue, savoring the anxiety that followed:

"It feels really weird to call them by their own names. You are right. These monsters are too far apart from us. They are not like the descendants of mortal survivors. Fran, do you have a clue about this? "

"Intuition tells me that they are not good, and the possibility of being affected by the black plague is very high. But these are all speculations. If the evidence is used, I am afraid you will have to support. Wu, you have been checking the dead land for no injuries, although I also looked at the photos I sent, but—" Francine's tone became anxious.At this moment, she unmistakably showed her curiosity, and she cast her eyes on the corpses all over the floor:

"But first-hand information is always the most important. Do you think that the genetic traits of the soil is stable? Are there large areas of ulcers or visible tumors on the surface of their bodies? In the green skin race, cancer is like Hair can be seen everywhere, obviously the result of long-term exposure to radioactive residues or chemical contaminants. If the soil has no similar characteristics, then our inference will have a foothold."

"Ulcers, tumors? If the soil is not hurt--" Suo Zhongwu realized that something was wrong just as he spoke.Gerrard, Paul Paul, and three other veterans were looking at this side frequently, and looked uneasy, as if they had put a steamer under their hips.

It is not difficult to guess why they did this. The local bustle may not know anything about Chinese, but the word "Tu Wushang" was taught by Suo Zhongwu.[Son of Heaven’s repeated mention of the monster’s name in the dialogue is certainly not a good thing.If the character calls, I am afraid I will be even more worried.

"This way." Suo Zhongwu gave Francine a look, and motioned the two to walk deep into the parking area, away from Gerrard and his party."Let's take a look with your own eyes. Just listen to my introduction. It is not comprehensive enough. There are many samples of the four populations. I just removed their armor and can see clearly inside and out. Don't worry. Take your time, Gerald and the others, just let them go first."

Francine Davos agrees.For the next ten minutes, she kept going back and forth between the corpses, picking up the monster's weapons, equipment and even severed limbs from time to time, and placed them in front of her for a closer look.Suo Zhongwu was not idle either, and posted the test videos of weapons and armors, focusing on the selection of the front and heavy armor, and talked like a tour guide.
