Indescribable cyberpunk

"Plants that grow like crazy, natural evolution or mutation?"

"Environmental changes have occurred in areas such as Simu and Guangcheng in southern Anqing Prefecture. The federal government has dispatched a professional research team to investigate the local ecological environment."

"What I have in my hands now are strawberries grown in orchards in Guangcheng area. As you can see, they are nearly 10 times larger than before."

The female reporter in the video was holding a grapefruit-sized red strawberry in her hand. Behind her, a motorcade with federal government flags happened to be crossing the road, as well as those who seemed to have been filled with high concentrations of auxin overnight. , plants that are growing somewhat unreasonably now.

"Are the local fruit farmers crazy about this? One strawberry of this size is worth ten."

Wutong, who had just finished handling some emails, was also holding a bowl of washed strawberries in his hand. He looked at the slightly exaggerated one on the screen, and then looked at the one in his hand. It was not on the same level at all.

These news briefings were recently found by He Ye. As a collector of various information for Weird Studio, she is much more diligent than Zhu Jue and Wu Tong.

"It's not that simple. Look at this again."

Pick up the remote control on your desk and tune into the next video.

The video was probably shot late at night, and lasted only two minutes. The clarity was pretty good. After all, it is still difficult to capture blurry effects with digital products of this era. The content was of a shooting star that exuded a misty brilliance. The sky slipped.

"What do you mean? Does it have anything to do with the video we just watched?"

Wutong asked suspiciously as he watched the video replay.

"This video was shot in Guangcheng Town two weeks ago. There was a report on it in the local tabloid. I found it through the school's internal news collection station. There were no reports of meteor showers in that area at that time. Look at this video again. The object that I don’t know what it is is emitting bright, colorful light, which is not what a meteor should look like.”

Pause the video and zoom in on the picture above. Although the color emitted by this unknown light group is colorful, when you look up close, it is not as bright as imagined. Instead, it looks like a beaten palette. A sticky, sticky feeling mixed in after flipping.

"What is reported in the news is only a small part of the local situation. In fact, I have seniors and seniors who work in the media there. They told me that it is not just plants that are affected locally, but some animals are also experiencing abnormal conditions. , such as the sudden mutation of some insect larvae. Hello, who are you looking for?"

This time, it was replaced by several separated pictures. In the middle of the explanation, Li Qinglian saw a young man with a thin cheek coming in from the outside carrying a bag and a wooden box. Judging from the appearance, he seemed to have some body shape. Familiar, he asked subconsciously.

The person who came in was startled. He glanced at Wutong on the sofa before saying, "You are Lotus Leaf. I didn't expect you to arrive so soon. Hello, my name is Zhu Jue, which means I can't wake up 123."

Putting the backpack on the low table next to him, the wind chime crawled out and ran around the room, while Zhu Jue stepped forward and stretched out his hand.

"Ah? Hello, I am Li Qinglian."

She didn't expect that the person who could kill people all over Fangdou Mountain would be a young man who looked about the same age as her.

"What are you talking about?"

After saying hello, Zhu Jue was not restrained. He took the wind chime that was lying on the low table to tease the beef jerky into his arms. While feeding the beef jerky, he looked at the two of them and asked.

"Of course we are talking about where to go for the third video. Hey, did I tell you that there are media who want to interview us now?"

"Interview? You won't agree, right?"

He opened a bottle of drink and looked at Wu Tong with some surprise. He had never thought about being featured in any media.

"Of course not, it's just a small media studio in Yecheng. It just wants to catch up on our popularity. If you were interviewed, you might be written in a certain way, so I just found a reason to reject it. .”

Nowadays, Weird Studio has become a little popular thanks to two videos. Many people are asking where this studio came from. Not only is the video content realistic and novel, but the person who shot the video can actually rely on it. They use some special equipment to perform so many actions, not to mention that their special effects technology is so good that they can truly look real.

However, there are only a few special effects companies on the market. After asking around, no one recognized him, and a few even said that they were also looking for it.

"Why is the mantis in the photo so big? The photo was enlarged?"

Listening to Wutong's words, Zhu Jue looked at the green mantis sitting on the trunk of the photo with some surprise. The size was almost close to the size of one of his palms.

"It's just a photo that was taken without magnification. It's a mutated mantis. Look at these news and short videos. I dare say that this time it must be a big event. Why are there so many weird things recently? Something?"

Playing the video he had watched before to Zhu Jue again, those weird plants and insects appeared in front of him again. Wu Tong fell down on the sofa behind him. He was in a good mood because everything had been going well recently. Feeling a little depressed for no reason, he thought for a moment and then said,

"The area involved this time is not just one mountain like last time. The environmental variation area outlined in the photo just now has spread to one-fifth of Anqing Prefecture and is still expanding. What should the local people do? If the change is harmful, they certainly won't be able to continue living there."

Putting aside these weird phenomena and focusing on the local residents, they are the biggest victims.

"The federal government has not yet announced how to deal with local residents. Perhaps because there are fewer plants and insects in the town, there have been no casualties so far, so they think the problem is not serious and they can evacuate people, but It’s not necessary.”

Heye opened a few web pages on the computer he brought with ease, glanced at the displayed messages and said.

"This matter is not something we can use as material, at least not now. Although I also want to take a look at those watermelons the size of car tires, it is not sure what is hidden in these places now. If the environment itself There is a problem, and I don’t want to rush in in a daze, and then die in a daze. This is a regional environmental mutation, and the entire federation must be aware of it. Let’s see how it develops first.”

Judging from these news briefings, the local situation has obviously deteriorated to a certain extent. It is naturally impossible to cover up such a large-scale regional incident. After all, there are hundreds of thousands of people living in this area.

"Speaking of which, Guangcheng is not far from Yecheng. The environmental changes will not spread to our side by then, right?"

Wu Tong has seen a lot of monsters during this period. As an ordinary person, he subconsciously associates these phenomena in some bad directions.

"Your problem is also a problem for most people in Anqing Prefecture. You can take a look at the real-time hot spots on the Internet. Environmental changes are already the hottest topic in the federation. Currently, similar situations have not occurred in other regions. Who is it now? I don’t know what will happen next, but if there is a danger in this regard, I think the government should respond. At least we have enough buffer time, and judging from the current situation, there are indeed no accidental casualties. .”

After hearing He Ye's words, Zhu Jue took out his mobile phone and opened the web page. Sure enough, there was almost no need to look for the overwhelming news about the environmental changes in Anqing Prefecture.

"It must have been caused by the leakage of some raw materials during experiments conducted by those big companies. It's not like this has never happened before. I dare say that within a week, someone will come out and plead guilty."

This is a rational analysis.

"Plants mutate and become bigger, and insects mutate and become bigger. I have an immature idea. If I let those short people mutate, will they be able to grow taller?"

"The short man provoked you."

This is a wonderful idea.

"Damn it, the fruits are ripe in the winter in the greenhouse at home. Just like this, one is as good as 10 of us, and the price is even a little cheaper. Can this business still be done?"

This is a fruit seller.

Of course, there are also talks about the end of the world, and there are quite a lot of them. Some say it’s punishment from the gods, others talk about the earth’s self-repair, and some people even bring out Mayan prophecies from hundreds of years ago. In fact, the interpretation at the time was wrong. The real Day of Destruction actually occurred in the past few years. There were some people who followed it with seriousness.

"It's not our turn to get involved in this matter for the time being. If it's the end of the world, it's useless to make any preparations now. Heye, I can't leave Yecheng recently. I'll try my best to find any special events in Yecheng. By the way, you Do you have any thoughts on finding someone?"

For Zhu Jue, instead of worrying about the end of the world, it would be better to make more money to buy good equipment or find Mavala and seize the gravel from him.

This is a more effective means than hoarding food and water.

Strengthen yourself!

"Looking for someone? Sorry, I'm not good at this. All I can do is check some information that has been reported or spread on the Internet in other forms. If you are looking for someone, you can ask the Public Security Department. If a person is missing, They have access to surveillance cameras in most areas of Yecheng."

Li Qinglian can rely on some channels provided by the academy to obtain some information, which does not mean that she can run around like Wang Dong's informants, and she can also help him find out some things that ordinary people don't know at all.

"Then please help me pay attention to some recent reports on homicide cases in the outer city of Yecheng. The characteristics of the deceased are generally mutilated bodies, signs of flesh and blood being chewed, and there will be gravel at the scene. What I am looking for is a man named Ma The wanted criminal in Valla, this guy’s bounty seems to have reached 300,000 yuan now, if you can help me, I will give you a share of it when the time comes.”

Wang Dong has not reported any news in the past two days, and Zhu Jue is a little anxious waiting. What he cares about is not the 300,000 bounty, but the gravel on his body.

"Wanted criminal Mawala, are you still working as a government employee?"

People who work like her naturally have access to a wider range of information than most people, and government employees themselves are not a very hidden profession.

"I just mix it in occasionally. The main reason is that the corpses of those monsters cannot be thrown away. After the video is taken, it will usually be handed over to the government. If you have this, you can make an extra sum. As for this wanted criminal, he has me on him. Something needed.”

Zhu Jue then remembered that He Ye didn't seem to know his job, so he simply explained a few words. They would work together in the future, and since they had met each other, there was no need to hide some things deliberately.

"So that's it. I know it, and I can start checking it for you now."

"So quickly?"

Zhu Jue, who had just sat on the sofa, got up and walked to He Ye's desk, watching her skillfully control the interface and click on several strange forum websites in succession.

"Yecheng Outer City Exchange Forum, Yecheng Horror Story Forum. Murder Case Research Group. You actually have an account on this forum. Why are the levels so high?"

Nowadays, most forums do not have access requirements, so it is very simple to create an account. But Zhu Jue looked at the He Ye accounts at the top of these pages. They are all high-level. Some of them have golden borders, which are obviously the management of the forum. personnel.

"I have been running some accounts since I first entered college, and entered some forums with very high traffic on the federal network. Some of them require daily sign-ins to increase the level, and some require people to post to gain a certain degree of popularity, which cost me a lot. Time, but fortunately the effect is quite good. After the account level is improved, you can easily gain the trust of some people in the forum, and then chat with them about some information topics you need."

"It's awesome, you'll get a share~ I'm optimistic about you."

Zhu Jue felt more and more that his decision to recruit this talented student was the right one.

With He Ye and Wang Dong helping to search respectively, Zhu Jue lay back on the sofa and spent his free time with Wu Tong.

As time goes by, night falls.
