Not only could Long Yuehong think of it, but others had also come up with this guess. After all, everyone knew only this much about the No. 13 Ruins in the wasteland—that Wu Meng was such an existence.
Wang Fugui glanced in the direction of the wolf howl and said, recalling:
"That place is in the opposite direction of the 'Dao and Electrical Appliance Repair' radio station..."
The last time they entered, Genaava had roughly detected where the "Dao and Electrical Appliance Repair" radio station was located. Therefore, when exploring today, both teams had chosen routes that were far away from that area.
Although they had either obtained intelligence or "self"-deduced that Wu Meng could only directly affect various electrical appliances and then use the appliances to deal with humans, there was a prerequisite for this—"long distance."
--The double metal door at the exit, after subsequent inspection, was an electrically controlled door. This was to be expected, after all, it was extremely heavy, and it was very inconvenient to open and close it manually every day. At that time, Genaava, Jiang Baimian, and Shang Jianyao chose to push it themselves because they believed there was definitely no electricity. At the same time, they were also quite confident in their strength.
Once the two teams and Wu Meng, and the "Dao and Electrical Appliance Repair" radio station, got within a kilometer, or even shorter, what would happen, no one knew except those who had personally experienced it and survived.
What Wang Fugui meant was that even if Wu Meng was really the master of the white giant wolf, the influence he could exert in that direction would be limited.
"Maybe there are a few electrical appliances placed around the white wolf..." Jiang Baimian said quietly.
Wang Fugui smiled wryly and mocked himself:
"Yes, it's better not to act rashly without knowing enough about that person. No one stipulates that he must stay in the radio station area."
What he said... Long Yuehong felt another chill down his spine.
Because this meant that Wu Meng could appear around them at any time.
"Maybe he really can't leave the radio station. Otherwise, he would have come to find us long ago..." Shang Jianyao said, switching to a ghost story tone.
"Then let's go back in another direction," Weter suggested immediately.
Jiang Baimian looked at Long Yuehong and Bai Chen:
"Okay."
Grey and Fars had no objections either.
The group of eight no longer returned the same way, because that would be close to where the white giant wolf was making noise.
Similarly, they also avoided the area where the "Dao and Electrical Appliance Repair" radio station was located.
Because they chose a relatively unfamiliar road, the speed of the two teams could not be increased, and they had to be prepared for possible attacks at all times.
Along the way, when they encountered relatively valuable items, they would still pick them up, anyway, it was just a matter of convenience.
The principle of distribution was that whoever got it first got it.
Under the premise that there were sufficient supplies and everyone would not be left empty-handed, this did not lead to internal strife.
Shang Jianyao was wearing the gray camouflage uniform today. He put down the sleeves of both hands, covering his wrists in the rather hot weather.
At his left wrist, the "Blind Ring" woven from black hair would light up with fire-like light from time to time, helping him expand his sensing range.
Of course, this could not be maintained all the time, as it would quickly deplete the energy inside the item, and could only be done every few minutes.
On the street where vehicles were parked in a chaotic manner and some areas were invaded by green plants, the two teams were on either side, about seven or eight meters apart.
Shang Jianyao, holding the "Berserker" assault rifle, walked step by step between the telephone poles and the roadside trees.
Two minutes ago, he had just completed a sensing, and there were no other human consciousnesses or mutated creature consciousnesses within a hundred meters.
Suddenly, Jiang Baimian turned her head and looked to the side where Wang Fugui and the others were, towards a narrow alley.
"There's a si...tuation..." Just as she was about to give a reminder and use the "Short-necked" submachine gun to sweep that way, her thinking suddenly became slow, as if attacked by severe cold, freezing part of it, or, transforming into a long-neglected computer. Although it could barely boot up, it always ran with a lag, and things that could be done normally in one second might take three or four seconds.
Almost at the same time, she saw Grey, tightly wrapped in a leather jacket, who seemed a little cold, looking at her and the others.
His slightly rough face was filled with fanaticism, and the blue eyes were frozen with light.
"He...was...enchanted...by...the...white...wolf..." When this idea "flashed" through Jiang Baimian's mind, Shang Jianyao and Bai Chen also appeared abnormal, and their every move was progressing at a rate of one-third or even slower than normal.
Long Yuehong was not affected.
He noticed the abnormality of the team leader and others, immediately took a step forward, trying to seize a favorable position, and shoot at Wang Fugui and the others to suppress them with firepower.
However, as soon as his right foot took a step, he felt the contraction and twisting of his muscles, and felt severe pain.
He had cramps. At such a critical moment, both of his legs had cramps!
When his body involuntarily tilted, Long Yuehong saw Fars, who had blond hair, blue eyes, and was tall.
This ruins hunter also had a fanatical look, as if he was fighting to the death for someone.
At this time, his fists were clenched, and the pupils in his eyes were deep.
On the other side, Weter, who was originally in Long Yuehong's vision, disappeared.
He just disappeared out of thin air!
As he fell to the ground, Long Yuehong saw that the team leader's left arm was raised faster than his right, as if it had not been affected.
In that lone hunter team, Wang Fugui was the strangest one. He didn't show fanaticism, admiration, obedience, or other expressions, but instead had a look of hatred, as if he had met an irreconcilable enemy.
Immediately afterwards, he said in a deep voice to Grey, Fars, and the place where Weter had been standing:
"Hate!"
The fanaticism and admiration on Grey and Fars's faces disappeared instantly, twisted into extreme hatred for a certain target.
They turned quickly and looked into the depths of the side alley.
They were fast, but Jiang Baimian was faster. She had already aimed there and pulled the trigger.
--When Grey turned around, the freezing or slowness of Jiang Baimian's thinking was lifted, and her left hand had already raised the weapon to the intended position.
Da da da, a large number of bullets poured towards that side, gathering towards a certain telephone pole.
Shang Jianyao put down the assault rifle and let it hang on his body.
He took off the "Tyrant" grenade launcher and aimed it at the target area.
A grenade flew over.
Boom!
In the sound of the explosion, a white wolf shadow jumped backwards and leaped into the corner of the alley.
The fur on its tail was a little charred and bent, and on its head was something dark black, similar to a headset.
In an instant, the white wolf disappeared from everyone's eyes.
"Should we chase it?" Shang Jianyao looked at Jiang Baimian.
Jiang Baimian pondered for a moment and said:
"Let's not."
She then said to Wang Fugui:
"You weren't 'enchanted' by the white wolf."
The look of hatred on Wang Fugui's face had disappeared completely. He smiled and said:
"If I didn't have confidence, how would they be willing to come with me?"
He was referring to Grey, Fars, and the reappeared Weter.
The expressions of these three ruins hunters looking at Wang Fugui all had a bit of admiration.
"Hey, the white wolf didn't even choose to 'enchant' us..." Shang Jianyao muttered in regret.
That would have let it know what surprise meant.
"..." Long Yuehong didn't complain this time, because he thought so too.
Jiang Baimian heard this and said, "Hmm,"
"It seems that although the white wolf's 'enchantment' has a limited number, it can actively choose targets."
This is fundamentally different from Qiao Chu.
"But how can it accurately grasp the interval of my sensing and enter the range where the ability takes effect?" Shang Jianyao was quite puzzled by this and had switched to reasoning mode.
Fortunately, the "Old Task Force" has always had double insurance, and there is also Jiang Baimian's bioelectrical signal sensing.
Jiang Baimian was also puzzled. She looked around and had a thought:
"Could it be that they are working?"
Following her gaze, Long Yuehong, Bai Chen, Wang Fugui, and others saw the surveillance cameras on the street lights.
Jiang Baimian said in a deep voice:
"We didn't bring electronic products, but that doesn't mean there aren't any in this city ruin."
"Then it, then it's equal to Wu Meng's 'eyes'?" Long Yuehong blurted out.
Wang Fugui frowned slightly and said:
"But after so many years, there should be no electricity here."
Could Wu Meng still make things that have no electricity produce electricity?
"We haven't tried it, how do we know there's no electricity here?" Bai Chen, who had experience in the No. 1 Swamp Ruins, asked back.
Electricity was supplied there on a regular basis.
Jiang Baimian then looked at a shop on the side of the street and suggested, after careful consideration:
"Let's go in and try to see if the lights can still turn on."
They weren't in a hurry to evacuate this area, because figuring out this problem was more important - if they weren't careful and ignored it later, they might suffer a big loss.
"Okay." Wang Fugui and Grey exchanged glances.
Shang Jianyao quickly stepped into the roadside shop and pressed the switch with the muzzle of his gun.
The light tubes in the shop did not change in any way.
"Maybe it's broken..." Long Yuehong guessed the possibility.
As soon as he finished speaking, the light tube suddenly made a zzz sound and lit up with a whitish light.
The light was sometimes bright and sometimes dark, giving a feeling that the voltage was very unstable, and the alternation of light and dark was not very regular.
"This..." Weter exclaimed in astonishment.
In his opinion, it didn't seem like the city ruins originally had electricity, but that someone had deliberately turned on the electricity here after he and the others turned on the lights, otherwise it wouldn't have turned on after a while.
"As expected." Wang Fugui sighed.
There really was electricity here, in some way there was electricity.
Long Yuehong immediately said:
"Then let's evacuate as soon as possible."
This time, neither Jiang Baimian nor Shang Jianyao responded to his suggestion. They were both looking at the flickering light tubes, as if studying some major subject.
"What's wrong?" Bai Chen asked.
Jiang Baimian pursed her lips and said:
"The flashing of this light bulb is a bit like Morse code..."
"Ah?" Weter, Fars, and others were all a little dazed.
This involved their knowledge blind spot.
Jiang Baimian translated quickly based on the content recorded by the auxiliary chip, while slowly saying:
"The translation is:
"The Dao is in circuits, circuit boards, and electrical appliances..."
