It was obviously unwise to enter from the front, but Jiang Chen didn't plan to enter by himself.
Things like reconnaissance could be left to the drones.
He ordered the older soldier to report to Cheng Weiguo and ask him to bring some reinforcements. At the same time, Jiang Chen ordered the younger soldier to guard the back door of the mall to prevent anyone from escaping from the back.
After doing all this, Jiang Chen took out a reconnaissance Hummingbird drone from the storage dimension. This model of Hummingbird didn't have a machine gun attached to it. Instead, it was replaced by a set of lightweight multi-function surveillance equipment. It was suitable for all kinds of reconnaissance missions and was a very convenient reconnaissance tool.
But Jiang Chen wasn't completely satisfied. He thought for a moment and installed two fist-sized sticky explosives on the top of the drone to utilize the excess load of the drone.
He connected the drone to the power armor's computer and carefully approached the mall. Then, he threw out the disc in his hand at the KFC near the mall's entrance and controlled the drone to fly to the window on the third floor.
Without the slightest sound, the disc-shaped drone approached the window that was sealed by the fabric. The pinhole camera under the chassis pierced into the fabric.
Other than a desk and a row of file racks, there was nothing suspicious in the room.
The drone cut a small hole in the fabric and slowly floated into the room. Just below the window, Jiang Chen saw a disc-shaped fragmentation landmine.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen's scalp felt numb.
[Good thing I didn't jump in. It turns out that there are traps everywhere.]
Not only the window, but under the open door, there was also an infrared landmine.
But these things were useless to the drone.
He skillfully controlled the drone and flew directly into the equally quiet corridor. Jiang Chen searched the rooms one by one.
Most of the rooms were empty, or they were filled with pre-war office supplies.
But in the room at the end of the corridor, he saw something different.
Four refrigerator-sized metal machines were lined up in a row at the entrance of the room. Sticking to the machine, he could faintly hear the sound of a fan. [Is this a computer case?] But it didn't look like it.
In the middle of the room, there was an operating table covered in blood. The light that shone through the gap between the wooden boards of the window happened to fall on the bloodstains on the operating table. There were two or three scalpels on the rusty tray. From the bloodstains that had not completely turned black, it seemed that an operation had been performed here not long ago.
What was even more terrifying was the paint bucket in the corner of the room.
What was in the bucket was obviously not paint, but blood mixed with minced meat and cold severed limbs.
"Fu * k." Jiang Chen cursed outside the mall as his stomach churned.
These things were obviously not things that a shopping mall should have.
Just as Jiang Chen controlled the drone to circle around the room, searching for something that might reveal information, there was a faint noise downstairs.
Jiang Chen immediately controlled the drone to float out of the room and down the stairs.
After flying past rows of them, the disc stopped at the door of an office.
The door was closed, but this couldn't stop the genius Yao Yao.
Not only was this girl unparalleled in programming, but she was also well-versed in the modification of electronic equipment. Jiang Chen carefully controlled the Hummingbird to get close to the door handle, aimed at the mechanical keyhole, and pierced out the probe equipped with a camera.
The probe pierced through the keyhole, made a few turns in the keyhole, and smoothly exited from the back of the door.
The light in the room was dim, but it was still possible to see clearly.
There were four people in the room, three standing, one lying down.
The one lying on the ground was Meng Qian, and the closest person was a man with a long beard. The skinny man's face couldn't be seen, but instinct told Jiang Chen that this person was dangerous. As to the man with his back facing the door, he didn't seem to have any presence, so he should be a small character.
…
"Dammit, why did this dumbass take the medicine himself? Didn't I tell him not to take the medicine himself? What's wrong with this dumbass' brain? " A burly man with a full beard cursed, and at the same time fiercely kicked the unconscious Meng Qian on the ground.
This kick seemed to have hurt Meng Qian, causing him to wake up from his coma.
When he realized he was tied up like a rice dumpling, his eyes were filled with fear.
"What should we do next?" Standing next to him was a tall and thin man with a streamlined rifle in his hand. At this moment, he was looking coldly at Meng Qian, who was twisting on the ground, and said in an emotionless tone.
"Why don't we … observe him for a while?" The man at the door suggested.
"That's the only way, at least we have to wait until he wakes up." The man with a long beard sighed, sat down on the chair on the side, and lit a cigarette.
"Who, who are you people! Why do you have to tie me up! God, are you crazy? Hongbo, Little Du, come help me! These psychopaths … "Meng Qian screamed at the empty office table as he mumbled random names.
Judging from the reactions of those people, the name he called out should not belong to any of the people present.
"Who can make this guy quiet down?" The man with a long beard blew out a smoke ring as he shook the cigarette butt and said impatiently.
Bang-!
A wisp of smoke rose from the rifle in the hands of the skinny man.
Meng Qian was completely quiet. The pupils in his widened eyes gradually became slack.
Blood spread along the back of his head, contrasting with the bloody hole on his forehead.
The room was terrifyingly quiet.
The cigarette between the bearded man's fingers was frozen in place. After a long while, a piece of ash fell off soundlessly.
"You … killed him?"
"That's right." The skinny man said disapprovingly.
The corner of his mouth twitched. The man with a long beard was obviously dissatisfied with the man's approach, but it seemed to be out of some fear that he didn't dare to get angry at the skinny man.
"Well, this is great, everything has to start from the beginning." The man with a long beard slapped his thigh, flicked the cigarette butt in his hand, and complained to his knees.
"Trash has no value," the skinny man said nonchalantly.
"But we can at least know the situation of that camp from his mouth. Now, we don't even know if he made contact with those blue skins, "the man standing at the door said helplessly.
Perhaps it was because he realized his carelessness, or because of his extreme arrogance, the skinny man didn't explain his companion's complaint.
After a moment of silence, he said in a commanding tone.
"Use the mutant flies, inject the drug into their poison sac, and then put them around the fallout shelter … I'll take care of the surgery, you go find two mutant flies."
The flies the size of a skull, attacking by shooting maggots, were one of the most disgusting creatures on the wasteland. Although they weren't aggressive, they carried a variety of germs on their body. Once infected, it would be very troublesome.
"Alive?" The man with a long beard raised his eyebrows.
"Mhmm." The man nodded.
"Are you kidding? Catch two mutant flies alive? Do you think that thing is a rabbit? " Perhaps the commanding tone made the man with a long beard unable to take it anymore, he yelled at the skinny man.
"If you're infected with the mutated germs, I can help you deal with it," the skinny man said with the same emotionless tone.
"Ha!" The man with a long beard sneered in disdain. "I won't let you touch my organs. Let me tell you, the Crimson Chamber of Commerce and you are only partners, not your servants. "
"Is this what your boss wants?" The skinny man asked.
"We'll help you enter the fallout shelter, and you give us the recipe of the drug —"
"Shh." The skinny man suddenly put a finger on his lips.
The room instantly became quiet.
He was discovered?!
Jiang Chen gulped as he began to control the drone to retreat.
However, at this moment, something unfortunate happened.
Because the keyhole hadn't been oiled for a long time, when the needle was pulled out of the keyhole, it made a slight noise.
"Who's there!" A roar came from behind the door. The man near the door quickly twisted the handle and pushed the door open.
Seeing that he was discovered, Jiang Chen pushed the drone's engine to the maximum. Accompanied by the buzzing sound of the electric current, the drone flew into the room.
The tall and skinny man raised his gun, but the moment he saw his face, Jiang Chen's heart skipped a beat.
Lin Chaoen?! How could it be him?
The member of the Defender, the Lin Chaoen he met at the Bullet Shell Tavern on Sixth Street?
He almost forgot about this guy. After they agreed to work together to fight against the mutated humans, there was no news from him. He didn't expect to see him here!
Lin Chaoen pressed the trigger. At the same time, Jiang Chen reflexively pressed the button on the sticky bomb.
The drone signal was cut off. Jiang Chen looked up at the second floor of the mall.
There was a delay of half a second.
Boom!
Accompanied by a loud explosion, scarlet flames flickered and blew the wooden board sealing the window more than ten meters away.
Looking at the thick smoke coming out of the window, Jiang Chen was confused.
He was completely confused. What kind of play was this?
