Hiss... "
This scene caused Chen Chen to inhale sharply. The scanner behind him seemed to have sensed the mental instability of its host. It popped up again and frantically scanned the surroundings, but no matter how it scanned, it could not detect any signs of life in the apartment in front of him...
"Keep retreating."
Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Chen took the lead and retreated again. It was not until he retreated to the passage that they came from that Chen Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Following that, Chen Chen suddenly pressed a button on his left arm with his right hand. There was a "beep" and a needleless syringe popped out of thin air. Following that, Chen Chen took out the syringe and at the same time, tilted his neck. Suddenly, a small piece of armor on his neck popped open, revealing a membrane that blocked out the air.
After that, Chen Chen directly inserted the needleless syringe along the membrane!
"Hiss!"
A small amount of solution was directly injected into Chen Chen's vein.
After about thirty seconds, Chen Chen only felt that his mind was clear. The original creepy feeling quickly receded, leaving only endless speculation and thinking in his mind.
"Very interesting..."
Chen Chen rested his chin on his hand and silently stared at the apartment a hundred meters away, then looked at the Prada Spaceship beside him. "X-112, did you see when those doors opened just now?"
"I didn't."
X-112 replied, "I've retrieved the visual signals of the three Black Knights around you. Just now, when you left, there was a period of 5.3 seconds when everyone looked away from the apartment, so the time when the doors of these apartments were opened is one hundred percent likely to be within these 5.3 seconds."
Chen Chen nodded. This situation was very normal. The Black Knights needed to be constantly vigilant of their surroundings, so it was impossible for them to keep their eyes fixed on the apartment behind them all the time. However, it was clearly not possible for ordinary people to open those rusted doors of the apartment without making a sound.
First of all, there was no electricity in the apartment. Chen Chen was very sure of this. Even if there was electricity, those doors were specially installed with switches that would automatically open as long as there was electricity. Even so, what happened just now was still not possible.
This was because those rusted doors could no longer be opened with electricity, and even if they were opened, they could not be opened silently.
Chen Chen directly dismissed the possibility that the doors were controlled by an electric switch.
However, if it wasn't someone controlling it, then what was it?
Chen Chen could not help narrowing his eyes. He had to admit that this was no longer a question that could be solved by eating NZT-48. The reason why civilization in this dimension was severed was obviously caused by some kind of existence and it was very likely that it was related to the apartment behind him.
"Is it similar to the world of Elysium?"
Chen Chen shook his head. At this moment, X-112's voice came again from the PK Armor's communication device. "Sir Commander, the M-1 drone has searched the general situation within a ten-kilometer radius. At the same time, we found thirteen human skeletons exposed on the streets."
"Can animals and plants be tested?"
Chen Chen asked again, "Can you switch the camera to thermal imaging mode to detect the distribution of animals in the ruins?"
"We can give it a try."
Following Chen Chen's command, the four drones switched to thermal imaging mode and began their exploration mission again.
While Chen Chen was exploring, a map with a radius of about ten kilometers was gradually taking shape with Chen Chen's location as the center.
This map was directly transmitted to Chen Chen's armor. The PK Armor had a unique AR system that could directly project the image on Chen Chen's retina.
At this time, in the lower right corner of Chen Chen's vision, was the map that was constantly taking shape.
When the map took shape, Chen Chen did not continue to move. He still stayed quietly in place while paying close attention to the situation of the small animals around him.
In Chen Chen's opinion, since these small animals could live so prosperous after the extinction of humans, it should be able to prove that the "thing" that had wiped out humans was harmless to animals and plants.
No, maybe it was not harmless, but these small animals could keenly detect that kind of "thing" and avoid it in advance.
Thinking of this, the four drones finally finished scanning everything within a radius of ten kilometers after half an hour.
Chen Chen clicked on the map in the lower right corner and suddenly the map was enlarged directly. It was translucent and occupied Chen Chen's entire line of sight. There were densely packed squares scattered on it, each of which represented a building.
It was like a real-life bird 's-eye view of a metropolis.
Chen Chen continued to zoom in on the map and a large number of small red dots appeared on it, but most of these red dots were dark red or orange-red, and some were orange or even bright yellow. These red dots were distributed throughout the map. At first glance, they seemed to be scattered all over the map without any pattern to speak of at all.
These little red dots were all wild animals hiding in buildings or ruins. The brighter the red dot, the bigger it was. The dark red dots were probably rats and birds, while the orange-red and orange-yellow dots were wild cats and dogs. The brightest yellow dots were medium to large creatures like cows and sheep.
"X-112, according to the density of wild animals, divide all the searched areas into square areas with a side length of 100 * 100m. As for the density, divide them into four levels."
Chen Chen thought for a while and continued. "The first level, in the square area, the number of wild animals is more than five, and the area is indicated in blue; the second level, the number of wild animals in the area is more than two, indicated in yellow; the third level, the number of wild animals in the area is more than one, indicated in dark red; the fourth level, the number of wild animals in the area is zero, indicated in bright red."
"Understood."
As X-112 carried out the order, the map in front of Chen Chen was suddenly divided by shallow dotted lines. The entire map with a diameter of about 4 kilometers was divided into 1,500 densely packed squares, and then these squares began to change color rapidly.
When the map had completely changed color, Chen Chen suddenly narrowed his eyes.
He saw that on this map, there were many individual red areas and dark red areas, but these were indeed scattered here and there, looking very messy. Only three locations showed extreme regularity — among these three locations, they were composed of bright red in the center, dark red at the edge, and yellow at the edge. The outermost layer was composed of blue patterns.
"X-112, perform calculations and corrections on the map."
Chen Chen ordered again.
Following Chen Chen's order, on the map in front of him, most of the messy red and yellow colors disappeared. Those places were either empty roads or open spaces without any houses. The sparse number of animals in these places was not an abnormal phenomenon.
Only the three locations with an area of thousands of square meters were highlighted, and one of the abnormal locations was the apartment building that Chen Chen had just entered...
"As expected."
Looking at the map in front of him, Chen Chen smiled calmly, revealing a look of realization. "These three locations should be some kind of restricted zone for life."
Now that he had ascertained the safety of his surroundings, Chen Chen no longer hesitated and sat directly in the Bugatti Spaceship. "X-112, take me to the location where you found the human skeleton. At the same time, pay attention to staying away from these three abnormal areas, as well as the small red areas that still exist after correction."
"Yes!"
X-112 replied decisively.
