Scavenger, an automated mechanical device, comes in various forms.
The smaller ones are like normal people and have replaced the previous sanitation workers.
The largest one is like a special train in the sewer, whizzing along the water channel and sweeping away any garbage in the sewer.
Qi explained in detail for a moment and then said:
"Your importance is magnified to the extreme now, because Lin Youwei believes that the chip you took contains major secrets of the entire Lingyun ecology."
Wang Jun: Shocked!
He could clearly remember the thing that was fused in his left eyeball.
Qi saw that Wang Jun's eyes were wandering, as if he was in a daze, and she immediately laughed out loud.
"Hey hey hey, are you scared? All the information about Lingyun Ecology is hidden in a memory chip, but now you are misunderstood as having the chip. What kind of tactics do you think Red Umbrella Company will use to arrest you?
?”
Wang Jun came to his senses and cursed in his heart: "This is not a misunderstanding."
Ahem~
After coughing twice, Wang Jun ran away and put the smart watch on his left wrist again.
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and show me the way."
Qi teased: "I thought you weren't afraid, but now you know the seriousness of the matter."
At this moment, Wang Jun was maintaining the speed of an ordinary person sprinting 100 meters, and there was no sign of fatigue on his face.
He said: "Lingyun Ecology is only a T1-level project. One of my researchers is suspected of getting a chip. I don't know if the company will take it seriously, but that woman Lin Youwei must have some ideas."
Qi sneered and said immediately: "You can guess how many people she called."
"If I were her... I would use all the resources I have at my disposal."
"Hey, can you guess this?"
"It's not a guess, it's a conjecture."
"Where's the basis?"
"The basis is my understanding of Lingyun ecology. I once heard Mr. Chen Yangmei say that if the secrets of Lingyun ecology are deciphered, it will help humans move towards the end of evolution. That is the highest temptation for every living being——
eternal life."
Hearing Wang Jun talk about eternal life, Qi seemed to be interested and started talking more.
"The research data involving immortality is enough to drive the top chaebols crazy. You may not know how many senior chaebols are already aging, but they are using technology and evil methods to continue their lives crazily."
Suddenly, Qi laughed freely, and the laughter rippled back and forth in the empty sewer through the loudspeaker of the smart watch, forming a cascading echo.
Hahahahahahahaha~~~~
The sounds from near to far are superimposed on each other, as if they are diffused by an amplifier.
Originally it could only convey a distance of twenty or thirty meters, but now it can extend to a hundred meters.
Wang Jun lowered his head and quickly covered the smart watch with his palm.
"Aqi, I'm running for my life right now. I'm laughing so loudly. Do you think I didn't die fast enough and are you deliberately exposing my whereabouts?"
Qi pondered for half a second, then Nai yelled fiercely: "Who are you calling me? Boy, remember, you have to call me respectfully, such as Uncle Qi or Grandpa Qi."
Wang Jun said: "Okay, Ah Qi."
Qi: "You can try calling another one!!!"
"No problem, Ah Qi." Wang Jun nodded.
Bah la~ Bah la~ Bah la~
An electric spark shot up from the smart watch, and the light screen projected was magnified ten times.
In the one meter long and wide light screen, a huge panda face takes up most of the screen, with a furry paw in the lower right corner.
Wang Jun saw the claws turned over, with the fleshy balls facing upwards, slowly closing inward.
"Did you see that Uncle Qi's fist is hardened, and the consequences will be serious."
While running, Wang Jun reached out and poked the light screen, "Are you Ah Qi?"
"I'm here, what do you want?" Qi's face suddenly pulled back, exposing her whole body, and her two paws were placed in front of her chest and tightened.
The light screen automatically adds sound effects: Gala~Gala~
"If you yell again, Uncle Qi's two fists will become hard..."
Before it could finish speaking, Wang Jun poked Qi's two hind paws in the light screen, "It's okay, there are two more. I'll wait until you get hard together."
The corner of Qi's mouth twitched, and the cute and fierce panda face changed instantly.
The lifelike facial features disappeared, replaced by a slumped face outlined in a simple sketch.
The mouth outlined by two lines droops downward, with an eye-catching drool at the corner of the mouth. Two dead fish eyes turn up blankly, and two words are written in the center of the forehead: "Abba!"
Wang Jun was startled and complained: "There are also emoticons in this era?"
The next second, Qi's face changed back and she let out a tut:
"Now you know how powerful Uncle Qi is."
"Yeah, yeah, awesome, awesome, you are the best."
Wang Jun said perfunctorily, closed his mouth tightly, and looked like he needed to save energy.
As time passed, the atmosphere in the sewer changed.
The rotten stench gradually dissipated, parallel scratches appeared on the walls on both sides, and the air was filled with the sweet scent of blood.
Wang Jun's soles felt some kind of regular vibration through the leather boots.
Rumble...Rumble...Rumble...
He reached out and grabbed the floating dust, "This is?"
Qi: "The scavenger is here. You are really unlucky. You haven't even approached drain outlet No. 3 yet, so why did you encounter the extra-large scavenger?"
After a brief pause, Qi's tone rarely became serious.
"Next, do as I say, and you may still be able to escape with your life."
Wang Jun nodded and ran at a speed of more than ten meters per second, which was comparable to the physique of the top athletes among normal humans.
The whistling wind blew past his ears, and Wang Jun once again experienced the extraordinary charm.
He has not yet become a true transcendent. Just by awakening, his physique has undergone earth-shaking changes.
He had never experienced this kind of running speed.
"The running speed is not bad, you should not die." Qi commented, and then said: "Go straight for 300 meters, then turn right, then continue straight for 50 meters, turn left..."
Wang Jun did not doubt that he was there and ran as fast as he could.
When he reached the first corner, Wang Jun glanced behind him.
It is made of mud-gray steel, with a large circular opening on the front of the head, which seems to be modeled after the mouthparts of some kind of worm. The large circular mouth is filled with sharp steel thorns, with three rings on the inside and outside.
The garbage scattered in the sewer was swept into the huge mouth and turned into powder in just an instant.
Cold sweat broke out on Wang Jun's forehead. If he was swallowed by that thing, he was afraid that the flesh and bones would all turn into residue.
He maintained his speed and ran with all his strength, a flash of doubt in his eyes.
"That's not right. If Lin Youwei believes that I have a memory chip containing Lingyun Ecological Project data, she has no reason to directly send out such a killer weapon. Isn't she afraid that the memory chip will also turn into residue?"
Qi: "Because the technology used in that chip is very special. Even if you smash it into pieces, it won't be damaged at all."
Wang Jun: “This is fucking unscientific!”
He has just traveled through time and does not yet fully understand the technology of the current world.
Fragments of memory floated through my mind, including a noun: "Conversion between virtuality and reality."
This is a brand-new technology that allows the mutual conversion of matter and energy.
It was less than two years after the research and it has not yet been widely used in major cities, but Chen Yangmei is the creator of this technology and tried to create a memory chip.
Wang Jun suddenly understood. He understood why the company's senior management believed that there was something wrong with the memory chip left by Chen Yangmei.
The chip is protected by special technology, and the data stored in it will definitely be extraordinary.
Da da da da~
Wang Jun's footsteps were dense and echoed in the empty sewer.
The sensor on the scavenger's head simultaneously captures the sound and transmits back the image of Wang Jun running.
Thousands of meters away, at the other end of the sewer.
Lin Youwei wore a mask, with black glass mirrors covering her eyes.
She raised the corners of her mouth, tapped the call button on the edge of the mask with her finger, and switched to the wireless communication channel.
"Found it, the target is in area b32."
"Everyone has it, and the carpet shrinks the containment circle."
"Pay attention to the target's ability. He can blend into the water. We must ensure that there are large scavengers behind each channel and are on standby at all times to prevent the target from escaping through the sewage."
In the communication channel, the captains of each team responded one after another, and then more than 3,000 security elites from the Viper Department launched into action.
When the order was given and executed, Qi yawned out of boredom.
It was lying on a couch in cyberspace, with a nail sticking out of its fleshy paw.
Pick, pick, and pick again.
Qi picks the poop several times in a row, just like picking his nose.
Suddenly, it shouted: "Bring it to you."
The claws were suddenly retracted, and the tips of the nails were surrounded by fluorescent green information flow.
Qi said with great interest: "Xiao Junjun, Lin Youwei has discovered you. She is leading three thousand elites from the Viper Department to surround you. Even if you reach the end of the route I pointed out, you will eventually be captured alive by them."
Wang Jun didn't say a word, and it only took two or three seconds for him to reach 50 meters.
After turning the second intersection, I glanced at the scavenger, and the distance shrunk by 1/3.
When running, the soles of your feet land on the ground, and the vibration feedback from the ground becomes clearer.
Wang Jun estimated that his speed seemed a bit insufficient and he would be overtaken at the next corner.
"It's too late, why don't you give up?"
Qi's tone was full of teasing.
"As long as you call Uncle Qi honestly, we will come down to earth and help you deal with the big guy behind you."
"No, I just woke up and I just want to test my limits."
Wang Jun decisively refused, and immediately closed his mouth, locking up his breath and physical strength.
His peak speed increased again, 1%, 3%, 5%...
The magnitude is not large, but not small either.
Ordinary people may not be able to accurately identify it, but Qi is not a human, but artificial intelligence.
The precise value jumps at an interval of 2%, and the frequency is extremely fast.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Jun's speed increased by 50%.
The body is translucent in color, and the 84,000 pores all over the body are neatly opened.
His sweat was steaming like mist.
"Damn it, you are really a fucking human. The speed just now was already your limit, right? How can you still increase it by 50%?"
A picture of a panda with its mouth wide open and its jaw dropped to the ground appeared on the light screen of the watch.
Wang Jun gritted his teeth and felt the aches and pains coming from his thighs, calves, and leg bones.
He maintained his current speed and continued running, unaware that bright red oozed from his nose.
The camera on the scavenger's head shows Wang Jun accelerating.
Lin Youwei raised her eyebrows and her eyes were condensed, "Has the target ever had experiences that we don't know about?"
Three meters away from the side, a special operations team member wearing a full-coverage helmet temporarily took the position of technician Lao San and reported:
"The Viper Department launched a thorough inspection of the target and is 100% sure that there is no fraud in his resume."
"He was born very clean. Both his parents were researchers within the company. They were attacked and killed while out exploring in the wilderness. Later, as a child, the target received funding from the company, studied all the way and then worked..."
Lin Youwei put her hands together, put her two thumbs together, put her fingertips against the seam of her lips, and said to herself:
"No abnormality? This is the biggest abnormality!"
"So many people were radiated by the aftermath of the explosion of the Lingyun Ecological Crystal. They either died on the spot or mutated into aberrations. He is the only exception."
Lin Youwei clearly remembered that tonight, the top management of the Red Umbrella Company ordered the execution of the elimination plan.
A total of 36 people were targeted this time, 18 of whom were handled by the Viper Department.
Lin Youwei led the team to solve 6 of the 18 people.
The first five people all had varying degrees of mutation, three of them were unable to form effective combat effectiveness, and two of them turned into aberrations and were suppressed by the fourth man alone.
Three minutes ago, she got the news:
"Thirty-three of the remaining 35 targets were killed, and one had strange aberrations and was taken into custody by the company as a specimen. The other one belonged to the direct lineage of the Su family. The senior management of the Red Umbrella Company is negotiating with the Su family."
Based on the known information and Wang Jun's actual performance, Lin Youwei determined in her heart that the chip was on Wang Jun's body.
"How is his running speed compared to a regular Awakener?"
The technician in the special operations team replied: "It is even worse than that of a first-level transcendent with speed-related abilities."
Lin Youwei murmured to herself: "He will definitely be able to escape the scavengers..."
The fourth child curled his lips and muttered: "Boss, don't think too highly of that kid. He is facing an extra-large scavenger. Even an extraordinary person with a second-level body specialization is no match for him."
"Silly guy, the target is cautious and not reckless. He can see that confrontation is not a wise move and he can just run to a safe area." Lao Wu rolled his eyes and interjected.
"Let's talk about it if we can outrun it." Lao Si said disdainfully.
Lao Wu shook his head, "Have you forgotten how your crotch was broken? You have already suffered a loss once, how dare you despise him?"
The fourth child didn't look very good, but he didn't know how to refute.
Lao Wu added fuel to the fire: "Oh, no, it should be three times. I slipped once before, and at the end I was stepped on the ground and chewed on the floor again."
"Fuck! If you don't know how to speak, fifth child, just shut the hell up." The fourth child's face was blue and red, like a monkey's butt that was swollen but unevenly injured.
"Okay, don't make any noise." Lin Youwei squinted.
Her eyes are calm, like a mirror lake.
The storm is coming, the storm is approaching, and a huge sense of oppression arises spontaneously.
The fourth and fifth brothers stopped their voices and stood at attention. No one dared to say more.
At this moment, Lin Youwei seemed to have a calm face, but in fact, she was filled with murderous intent.
In the past two years, she had never used family connections in the tasks she led, but this time, 3,000 elite members of the Viper Department were mobilized in a short period of time, which obviously exceeded the authority standards of a child of a chaebol.
The fourth and fifth sons have been with Lin You for a few years, and they all know that Lin Youwei is very competitive.
Even in a trivial matter like arm wrestling, she was so strong that she was unwilling to lose to the strong man Lao Si who was over two meters tall.
This time a huge array was used for a mission goal. One can imagine how much anger her pride has accumulated.
At this moment, Lin Youwei's helmet mirror showed a comparison of the sewers and the surface of City 36.
She had a keen sense of tactics and analyzed Wang Jun's previous walking route. Her first answer was to escape and leave City No. 36.
In less than three seconds, Lin Youwei shook her head and denied herself.
She had seen Wang Jun in the apartment and roughly inferred Wang Jun's character:
When you are weak, dare to be silent and wait for the opportunity.
When the opportunity comes, he can bravely make a desperate move and seize the fleeting opportunity.
He is very patient, extremely calm, cautious yet courageous.
Moreover, that seemingly blank resume is absolutely inconsistent with his true personality.
What does this mean? It means that the target is a person who intentionally hides himself.
If the other party is also a son of a chaebol, he may become an opponent that cannot be underestimated.
Lin Youwei suppressed the arrogance in her heart and replaced it with empathy.
"Living in different places, will I leave City 36?"
"No, no, I have never been to the wilderness and am not familiar with it. Not to mention the harsh environment in the wilderness, just the flat terrain. How can humans outrun armored vehicles and helicopters on the plains?"
Lin Youwei shook her head, her eyes fixed on drain outlet No. 3.
The area corresponding to this drainage outlet is the Lower Third District, and it is very close to Heifeng Lane in the Seventh District, less than three kilometers.
Black Front Alley and Red Umbrella Company are bitter rivals, and they have disliked each other for a long time.
However, both sides were wary of each other's trump cards, so urban war did not break out.
Lin Youwei once heard an elder from the clan mention:
"The boss behind Black Front Alley is suspected to be level 5. He has extremely strange abilities, is difficult to die, and is extremely good at assassination."
"This boss has outstanding abilities, but his charisma is even better."
"No one understands why he can win over those powerful extraordinary beings."
"Although there are not many regular troops in Black Front Alley, there are many masters among them. Anyone who comes out is a transcendent of level three or above."
Slightly exhaling turbid air, Lin Youwei clenched her fists and said, "The target must not be allowed to come into contact with Black Front Alley!"
After pondering for half a second, she continued: "Give me the order. All first-level extraordinary beings from the Viper Department on this mission will be dispatched. They must intercept every road leading to the No. 3 drainage outlet."
