The sound of gunfire outside the window gradually became quieter, and finally fell silent. Bu Ran used the communication terminal's detection system to confirm again that no one was around, and then cautiously emerged from the medical booth where he was hiding.
After sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, Bu Ran was fully armed at this time and picked up two pistols, as well as protective clothing, ammunition storage blocks, and a medical kit.
But his survival system has a very powerful self-checking ability - he feels that this is not enough.
The weakest point is the protective clothing on his body, which he ripped off from a corpse. The material of the clothing is similar to the protective clothing of the special operations team. It can only protect against scratches by mutants, but with
It won't work if you're bulletproof.
So he had been eyeing a single-family house for a long time.
Different from most of the single-family houses used for medical treatment that he saw along the way, this one was very grand and felt like a high-end villa. He believed that the people living in it should be relatively high-status people.
Then in this kind of character's house, you may be able to get better equipment, as well as information that can help him escape from this place.
The villa was quiet and deserted, and the courtyard door was locked, but Bu Ran easily climbed over without triggering any alarm device.
The Alien Front obviously never thought that the war would spread to this space, and residential buildings are not places to live for a long time. Therefore, the design is designed to protect against gentlemen and not against villains.
Entering the yard and passing through the garden with a swing and a sand pit, Bu Ran threw a hook onto the balcony. After pulling twice to make sure it was securely hung, he climbed up and entered the room from the balcony.
The decoration style of this villa is very cute. There are stuffed animals everywhere and the walls are painted with bright paint. It seems to be for children.
However, it is now empty, with a layer of loose soil falling on the surface of everything, as if no one has been inhabited for a long time.
On this floor, Randan found seven bedrooms for the children and a guest room with a simple and elegant style, which was expected to be the place where the caregiver lived.
He searched this room intensively, but found nothing.
After thinking about it, it was impossible to put weapons in an easy-to-find place in a place with too many children, so I opened the quilt to see if there was a hidden compartment for weapons under the bed, when I heard footsteps.
Someone is walking upstairs.
Bu Ran was surprised.
He glanced at the communication terminal again.
The biological detection interface is still open, but there is no display for incoming people.
He suddenly felt that the development of things became terrifying.
He quietly hid in a bedroom, hiding his figure with the ajar door. Heading toward the stairs, the gun was ready to fire.
Then a little girl appeared in his field of vision.
She was wearing a pure white straight skirt. She was about eight or nine years old. She looked very cute, but her skin was very pale.
A metal cuff was locked around her ankle, with a rope attached to the back. As she walked up, the rope gradually tightened.
If she were a ghost, she would never be locked up with a chain. So she should be a semi-foreign person receiving treatment here. Because her physical condition was not stable, she was locked up to avoid hurting others.
Bu Ran put the speculation about the supernatural direction away from his mind and breathed a sigh of relief.
It's no wonder that he had wild thoughts. After all, he was just an ordinary person, and he had seen too many dead people today.
However, due to the limitation of the length of the rope, the little girl walked halfway up the stairs and could not continue going up.
She stopped here, then raised her little face and stared at the direction where he was hiding with dazzling eyes.
She has discovered him.
The hiding place had lost its meaning, so Bu Ran simply walked out.
At this time, the little girl saw the gun in his hand and shrank back unconsciously, appearing a little nervous, but she did not scream.
She stared at him.
He stared at her too.
Bu Ran waited for the little girl to speak first.
The little girl also waited for him to speak first.
The two people just froze with their eyes wide open.
After a strange silence for a long time, Bu Ran felt that it was not an option to continue like this. He thought it would be better to get close to her first, so he asked kindly: "What's your name?"
"Ninety-three." said the little girl.
"Ninety-three?" Bu Ran was stunned for a moment, "I asked for your name."
"My name is Jiu San." The little girl's eyes widened, as if she didn't understand why he was struggling with this issue, "They all call me Jiu San."
Bu Ran couldn't help but wonder, how could someone be called such a name?
"Okay, Ninety-Three," Bu Ran hung the gun on his armed belt to show that he was not hostile: "Do you know where this place is?"
He had asked Xia Liang before, but she was vague and unclear.
"You don't know?" Jiu San was surprised and looked him up and down, "Are you an enemy?"
"...Huh?" Bu Ran was stopped by her question.
——What to do next? Kill and silence?
In fact, he is not very capable of doing it. But if this little girl starts to scream...
Fortunately she didn't scream.
Not only did she not scream, her eyes also lit up, and she looked very happy, as if she had been waiting for him for a long time. "That's great." She said, "Don't be nervous, there is no one else here."
"What?" Bu Ran couldn't figure out the little girl's mind for a while.
"I know how to get out," said the little girl, "but you have to take me with you."
She raised her feet, causing the rope to make a series of rustling sounds, and then looked at him pitifully: "Can you help me out?"
"It might be more dangerous for you to go with me than to stay here." Bu Ran couldn't protect himself, so of course he couldn't take this little girl with him, so he analyzed it for her: "You are so young, stay here quietly, in the end
No matter who finds you, they will not hurt you because there is no need. But if you go out and run around, you may get a stray bullet. Do you know what a stray bullet is?"
The little girl shook her head.
Bu Ran thought she didn't understand what a stray bullet was. He was about to explain, but he heard her say: "I can't stay here. Otherwise... I will be eaten."
"What did you say?" Bu Ran was stunned.
The little girl burst into tears and her shoulders trembled slightly, "I know it's scary outside and there is a strong smell of blood. But I don't want to be eaten."
"Wait, how could someone eat you?" Bu Ran felt that this was too incredible.
"The sisters were eaten." The little girl's voice was low and sad, "Have you heard of them? Ninety-two, ninety-one, ninety, eighty-nine..."
"..."
Again it's a number, not a name.
Bu Ran thought about the empty rooms left for children that he had just seen, and for a moment he was horrified to think about them.
This child cannot be detected by the detection system. The obvious conclusion is that she has a special constitution.
So were there other children with special physiques who lived in these empty rooms here?
Where have all these children gone?
This ninety-three-year-old is still young, so what she means by "being eaten" may not mean being eaten literally.
Recalling that he saw with his own eyes that this organization could turn a semi-alien into a normal human, they had very advanced biotechnology.
Those children with special physiques...
The answer is ready to come out.
Thinking further, they don't even have names.
This may indicate that they were not captured from somewhere, but were obtained from people with special physiques, or sperm and egg cells were generated by some technical means, and the lives produced on a large scale through gestation containers were specially designed to
Used for biochemical transformation, or to provide organs.
"I'll take you away."
Bu Ran made a decision resolutely.
Then combined with his own strength and the current situation, he weakly made further explanation: "... try your best."
"Thank you, thank you," the little girl said with bright eyes, "brother, you are so kind."
Bu Ran: "..."
He has always been an egoist, but this was the first time he received such a good person card. He was embarrassed to the point of shame and didn't know what to say next.
So he simply shut up. He took out the tactical knife he found on a corpse, walked to the stairs, and tried to help her cut the rope connected to the cuff ring.
However, this rope was made of thin alloy wires and was extremely strong. It took a long time before half of it was cut off.
At this time, Jiu San suddenly became nervous: "Someone is coming!"
Bu Ran stopped immediately.
The villa was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. But you didn't hear any footsteps.
"Did you hear wrongly?" Bu Ran asked softly.
"No," Jiushi San said, "There is still a short distance, but it is indeed coming towards us."
Bu Ran asked: "How many people?"
"Two." Jiu San recognized it, "There are only two."
She looked at Bu Ran expectantly, "Let's kill them, one for you and one for me?"
Bu Ran:????
He didn't believe that these were words that a little girl could say.
So tough?
Jiu San had already reached out to him: "Give me a gun, I will use it."
Bu Ran first thought about the possibility that there was something wrong with the little girl.
When helping her cut the rope, the distance between the two people was very close. If she wanted to take away his gun and harm him, she could do it right then. There was no need to lie to him now.
So he pulled out a small-caliber pistol and handed it to her.
"You use this gun to protect yourself." He ordered, "I will try my best to get rid of them."
