C271 A thinking gecko

"Why does it take so long?" Nicholas said: "There will be hurt animals after the night."

I couldn't tell how long I'd have to look for the transmitter, so all I could do was explain to Nicholas that I wasn't sure of the exact time, maybe fast, maybe slow. If they were afraid of the danger of getting dark, then they wouldn't have to wait for me.

"Are you all right by yourself?" Nicholas asked.

"It's fine." I nodded. You guys can go back first.

Nicholas nodded and said they would wait here for me for a few hours. If I didn't come back by the time it was dark, the three of them would go back first.

After a short walk, I began to mark a few trees with stones. At the same time, I used my compass and the sun's position to determine my position. Then, I continued on my way to the top of the hill.

When Nicholas said they couldn't cross the hill, it meant there must be Z-transmitters on those hills. My job was to find them.

Unfortunately, Duan Xiaoxiao wasn't around. With her, it should be easy to find her.

But I couldn't always rely on her. I had to try to do something on my own.

These small hills are not high, in fact, they are just hills taller than the surface. With my current abilities, I can reach the top in 5 to 6 minutes at most. I can inspect these small hills in less than half an hour. If there's really a Z-virus transmitter up there, I don't have to wait until dark.

I spent twenty minutes continuously inspecting four small hills but didn't discover anything. If this fifth hill, the last hill in the area, still hasn't been found, then I would have to continue searching for high points in the other regions. After all, based on previous experiences, this transmitter needs to be built on a high ground.

Very quickly, I climbed up the last hill. I still didn't see the transmitter. Just when I was about to leave, I suddenly heard a light but clear sound coming from below my feet.

It was the sound of a dog's tail being stepped on.

Black thing?

I continued to listen, but the sound was gone.

I started chopping and chopping at the small hill at my feet with my machete, and soon I heard a hollow sound, and I knew there must be something below.

I started to slash at the ground, and then I felt my feet go dry and I sank down.

Fortunately, I reacted fast enough. Before I could sink completely into the ground, I used my machete to press against the ground beside me and climbed back up.

Turning around, I saw that the place where I chopped down earlier had sunk into a large hole. I could faintly see a few large jars inside.

Damn.

The people of Bluebird Company were truly wretched, they had even built this communication device underground.

At the same time, I saw some black figures dart back and forth a few times below me, but the moment they came into contact with the light, the black objects would retract.

But even then I could see that it was those geckos.

I tried using the machete to slash downwards, but immediately I heard a commotion coming from below. It seemed the gecko man below was very irritable.

I wasn't sure how many geckos there were down there, so I didn't dare venture down. I tried to find out where the transmitter was by the light from the collapsed area, but all I could see were the big jars.

I recognize this kind of jar, it's the kind that stores liquid nitrogen, which further proves that there is a transmitter here.

I started to use my machete to expand the area where I had collapsed. Very quickly, I cut open a 5-6 square meter large hole. I was able to see the situation clearly now.

This is a small hole of over 10 square meters in size. The place where I chopped down and collapsed was actually the entrance. Five or six geckos were clinging onto a stone wall at the edge of the hole, which couldn't be reached by the sunlight.

Well, that's within my acceptable range.

It's a pity that I don't have a gun now, otherwise these geckos would have been turned into a sieve by me.

I saw that Z-virus transmitter, right in the middle.

I looked at the geckos again, and thinking that these guys wouldn't dare to attack me while the light was still shining, I jumped down. However, just as I was about to smash the transmitter, I saw those guys pouncing towards me as if they were stimulated. I hastily jumped back up and the geckos retreated back into the darkness.

F * ck.

It seems like these geckos were protecting this transmitter.

I frowned again at the liquid nitrogen jars on the floor. Most of them were empty, but there were a few that had been set up against the wall, and they gave me the impression that there was liquid nitrogen in them.

I was shocked. It seemed that it had been a long time since I last visited this place. Could it be that the people who used liquid nitrogen to maintain this transmitter were these gecko people?

I immediately thought of another thing. When we first met those dark things with the baby's face in the underground buildings on the island, they were also guarding those security doors with iris recognition system s. That was to say, they seemed to have been instructed to guard something.

Doesn't that mean that the black thing on this baby's face is essentially the same as these geckos?

The more I thought about it, the more likely it seemed, because they were essentially the same shape.

Since they were able to protect something together, it meant that these guys' brains had not completely degenerated yet. They should still be able to understand some of the commands.

I thought of Nie Bi again.

Nie Bi could obviously control those dark things that had baby faces, and his current appearance was more or less like a dark thing …

Did that mean Nie Bi could control the Gecko People as well?

As long as I find Nie Bi again, won't these Geckos all turn against us? Then when we fight against the Bluebird Company, or even the Salvation Army, we can invisibly add a new force to our life force.

Yue Ling said that Nie Bi had been brought back to the headquarters. I could only go look for him at the headquarters and hope that Nie Bi would still recognize me.

However, I can't wait for Nie Bi to control these Geckos. I jumped back down and started to slowly walk towards the infector.

As expected, the moment I got close, the geckos immediately charged towards me. This time, I was already prepared. I waved my machete and swung it towards the geckos' head.

Under the light, the Mantis' movement slowed down significantly. Furthermore, the strength of their attacks seemed to be much weaker. Thus, I instantly cut down the two Mantis on the ground.

Last time in the Metro Passage, after we killed a few Geckos in quick succession, the rest escaped. However, this time the other three Geckos did not have any intentions of escaping. They seemed to view protecting this transmitter as their mission, so I can only send you guys back to the west.

Soon, I hacked the remaining three Geckos to death. I kicked over the transmitter and smashed it hard. After a period of time, the transmitter turned to scrap along with the white mist generated from the vaporization of liquid nitrogen.

Then I looked at some of the upright liquid nitrogen tubes along the wall. I lifted one of the lids and reached inside.

It seems like my guess was right, these jars were indeed filled with liquid nitrogen. Besides guarding this sensor, the gecko guys also used liquid nitrogen to maintain the proper operation of this transmitter.

F * ck, this Gecko Man is much more powerful than I thought.

I directly opened the mouths of all the canisters to let the liquid nitrogen leak out. It was at this moment that I suddenly heard a gunshot not too far away. It seemed to have come from the place where I had just left Nicholas and the other two.
