Chapter 603, Bank Vault

When Ren Xiaosu withdrew his own gaze from that sea of green, he was shocked to see that just a short distance away from the gate, the camera representing Wang’s AI was actually slowly turning towards him.

Ren Xiaosu put on his hood as he wondered, ”This barrier is going to be gone, how come the AI is still working? But since it’s still working, why wasn’t it warned in advance?”

Too many people had mentioned artificial intelligence to Ren Xiaosu before, only that Ren Xiaosu had never been too clear about how it worked, and Ren Xiaosu’s previous growth environment had not been able to come into contact with computers and computers and such things, so he had always held an attitude of curiosity towards artificial intelligence but did not particularly believe in it.

Now that he remembered those people’s praise of AI before, it always felt like an irony.

Of course, Ren Xiaosu didn’t know if Wang himself thought so.

Because she didn’t understand artificial intelligence, Ren Xiaosu couldn’t judge this thing either.

Ren Xiaosu and Zhou Yingxue both walked carefully on the street, walking Ren Xiaosu suddenly stepped on an obstacle, looking down, under the dense foliage cover of the wall-crawler, it was clearly a human skeleton.

Not only this one, the road human skeleton can be seen everywhere, and the wall-crawler’s vines are tightly wrapped around it, horrible and abnormal.

Ren Xiaosu could imagine how desperate these people were the moment disaster struck, and how tragic the scene was.

If it was an experimental body attacking in, at least some people hiding in their homes could still be the fish that escaped the net, because the experimental body’s senses didn’t become particularly powerful along with the enhancement of their physical qualities, so there were still people who escaped the net.

But facing this wall-crawler was different, after walking for half a day, Ren Xiaosu didn’t even see any survivors.

Ren Xiaosu recalled, “What was the name of the hotel Luo Lan stayed in?”

He flipped out a copy of yesterday’s newspaper from inside his space and searched for half a day before finding it: the Intercontinental Hotel on Kaixuan West Road.

Ren Xiaosu brought Zhou Yingxue with him to first find the newspaper kiosk, from which he found a map of Barrier 61, which led him to the location of Kaixuan West Road.

They were only five or six kilometers away from there, and they walked there in half an hour.

By the time they arrived outside the Intercontinental Hotel, the only thing left outside the hotel besides human skeletons were banners thrown away by protesters.

“This is the right place,” Ren Xiaosu was sure they weren’t in the wrong place when she saw the banners, “Let’s go to the parking lot first.”

When they arrived at the parking lot, Ren Xiaosu discovered that the cars with Qing’s license plate had been covered by wall creepers, and the tires looked like they had been punctured off.

Ren Xiaosu searched for the reason why all of Luo Lan’s cars were so unfortunate, it was before when she was at Li’s walled off, when she bought one, she got one blown up by Yang Xiaoguan.

When I arrived here, I was surprised to have my car tires punctured again ……

Ren Xiaosu took Zhou Yingxue upstairs, looking from room to room, but never found any trace of Fatty Luo, just looking for each room, Ren Xiaosu they spent a full hour of time.

“Not seeing the suspected Luo Lan’s body means that he fled the hotel ahead of time, which is a good thing,” Ren Xiaosu analyzed, “But where would he go?”

“He’s so fat, he definitely can’t run fast, he might have been caught up by the wall-crawler long ago,” Zhou Yingxue skimmed her lips and said.

“No,” Ren Xiaosu shook her head, “He came with an entourage, the loyalty of Qing’s soldiers far exceeds your imagination, if he can’t run, the others will carry him.”

“Alright,” Zhou Yingxue said, “Then let’s go look for the bank vault?”

Not long after, a group of people hiding in the bank vault suddenly heard a knock on the door outside the vault, the people locked in the vault were all shocked, how could there be a knock on the door at this time?

“Is someone coming to rescue us?” A person said excitedly, “It must be Wang’s troops coming, otherwise who would be knocking on the door at this time?”

“Maybe it’s some wall-crawler?”

“Wall-crawlers don’t knock!”

“Wall-crawlers eat people, so what’s so strange that they would knock on the door?”

Just as they were talking, muffled shouts came from outside through the vault door, and because of the vault’s soundproofing, the sound was already very small when it reached inside.

Someone heard the sound and put his face on the wall, but he heard the outside shouting, “Is there anyone inside ah, don’t open the door, the outside is full of wall creepers, I’m just asking, is there a called Luo Lan inside ……”

The people inside the vault looked at each other in dismay, what’s this all about, how come there are still coming to look for people?

The people inside shouted, “No, we don’t have anyone named Luo Lan here!”

“Okay, you guys hide inside, don’t come out rashly, the wall crawlers outside haven’t been taken care of yet, Wang’s troops haven’t come yet,” Ren Xiaosu said and left with Zhou Yingxue.

The people in the bank vault, are the first survivors he saw, this is a good thing, according to Luo Lan’s brain surely can also think that the vault can hide people, as long as Luo Lan can hide inside, then can wait until his rescue!

And the people in the vault listen to the outside gradually return to calm, all of them are a bit dumbfounded: “Who is outside? Isn’t it Wang’s troops?”

“Definitely not anymore ……,” someone said, “But at this time of the day, how powerful would someone have to be to sneak around in those wall-crawlers?”

For a moment, Ren Xiaosu’s image in their eyes instantly mysterious and tall, they look at themselves, woefully hiding in the vault, breathing still a bit unsteady, and then look at others, depending on the wall-crawlers as nothing ……

Ren Xiaosu and Zhou Yingxue continued to walk towards the depths of the wall, Zhou Yingxue suddenly whispered, “Master, look over there.”

Ren Xiaosu looked in the direction Zhou Yingxue was pointing, and he saw several people entangled in a wall, the wall reptile’s tentacles rooted into their bodies, and blood flowed out of those tentacles, so much so that the wall reptile tentacles that were connected to their bodies had turned red.

It was just that these people were different from the skeletons Ren Xiaosu had seen before; although these people had closed their eyes as if they were unconscious, they were obviously still alive!

These people, it was as if the wall creeper was storing up nutrients for itself.

Ren Xiaosu wanted to get closer to observe, but Zhou Yingxue shouted at him, “Master, don’t get close, this wall-crawler is extremely protective of its food, and its sense of territory is also extremely strong, if you get close to its food like this, you will make it furious, and then both of us will be doomed.”

Ren Xiaosu was puzzled, “What exactly is the principle behind it not attacking you?”

“It’s that I assimilated with it through my ability, making it think that we’re just a part of it, so it’s not that it’s not attacking us, it’s that it hasn’t noticed us,” Zhou Yingxue said.

“Then weren’t you able to control my potato shooter before, why can’t you control it?” Ren Xiaosu asked.

Zhou Yingxue explained helplessly, “Because I couldn’t find where its root system was, and if I want to control it, I have to infuse my ability into its root system. Why don’t we go find where its root system is, Master, as long as I control it, won’t the crisis of this barrier be lifted?”

Ren Xiaosu looked numbly at the vast green ocean in front of him, “This find a dog’s egg ah, who can find where its root system is? You wake up a little!”

“Ao ……”
