After she saw Jiang Chuan's expression, her mood suddenly sank because of Jiang Chuan's safe return.

Jiang Chuan threw the plastic bag in his hand to the ground, without changing his shoes, and spoke to Ando Haruyuki in the calmest tone possible.

"Go to the kitchen and clean up. Take the military rations and the remaining mineral water at home. Don't take the other food."

"……what?"

After hearing Jiang Chuan's words, Ando Haruyuki immediately understood what Jiang Chuan meant, and a hint of panic gradually appeared on his face.

Jiang Chuan put his arm around her shoulders and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I have planned everything. Just do as I say. Go now."

Ando Haruyuki looked at Jiang Chuan, nodded heavily, and ran quickly into the kitchen.

Race against the clock.

Taking a glass of water from the coffee table, Jiang Chuan took out the medicine box that he had prepared in his pocket and walked quickly into the bedroom.

Mrs. Hayakawa, who was lying on the bed, struggled to stand up after seeing Jiang Chuan.

"Kawa-kun... I'm glad you're okay..."

Jiang Chuan came to Mrs. Hayakawa, supported her back, and handed the cup of water to her.

"Mrs. Hayakawa, take the medicine, and then we will leave immediately."

"Eh? Departing? Where are we going?"

"Foot Emperor Dai."

"Eh?!!"

At Jiang Chuan's urging, Mrs. Hayakawa swallowed the antipyretic, anti-inflammatory drugs and water in her hand.

"There is a group of people coming in our direction. I think they might be looking for me because I killed someone before."

"So we have to leave right away. Do you still have your car keys? What's the license plate number? Where is it parked?"

Jiang Chuan was in a hurry, so he spoke very fast.

But Mrs. Hayakawa is indeed a strong woman who has been in the workplace for many years. Even when she was so weak, she was able to quickly understand Jiang Chuan's words and give the correct response in time.

"In the second cabinet under the coffee table, the car is parked in the west parking lot. It's a black Toyota with the license plate Adachi 114-514."

Jiang Chuan nodded.

"Okay, you can move, right? Do you need me to carry you?"

"It's okay, Chuan-kun, I'll get up right away."

Without further delay, Jiang Chuan first put away the black bag that had been placed in the bedroom, folded it and put it in his arms.

Then he went to the living room, took the key from the coffee table, took out a screwdriver, violently disassembled the computer host, unplugged the hard drive and put it in his arms.

The data here is priceless to him.

After doing all this, Ando Haruyuki also walked out of the bathroom carrying two bulging black plastic bags.

"I tried to pick out the important things, such as food, water, and clothes to change into!"

Her cheeks turned red with nervousness, but she spoke as calmly as possible.

Mrs. Hayakawa also put on her clothes, took the bow and arrows she brought from home, and walked out of the bedroom. Although her face still didn't look very good, at least she seemed to be able to move normally.

Jiang Chuan handed the two straw dolls that he had prepared in advance to the two people.

"Pulling the rope at the critical moment can save lives. Don't ask too many questions, just remember it."

Ando Haruyuki had already seen the farm space and had been given a straw doll by Jiang Chuan before, so he nodded readily.

Even though Mrs. Hayakawa was full of doubts, she couldn't ask more questions at the critical moment and could only nod.

Jiang Chuan picked up the supplies on the ground and walked to the door again, but his steps stopped again.

A look of despair also appeared on his face.

"It's over... it's still too slow..."

The figures shown in the thermal images were very close. Some of them had even come downstairs, holding guns and looking around with their heads raised.

"You guys hide in the bedroom first and don't make any noise."

Jiang Chuan put the plastic bag in his hand on the ground, slowly retreated to the sofa in the living room, and spoke to the two of them in a weak voice.

Ando Haruyuki was so frightened that he was shaking all over, but he still nodded and helped Mrs. Hayakawa hide in the bedroom.

The whole room suddenly became quieter, so quiet that Jiang Chuan could even hear his own heartbeat clearly.

The orange-red figures were clear enough that their appearances could almost be seen.

There were ten people in total, who entered the apartment from both sides.

They went up the stairs...

The second floor.

third floor.

Here it comes, indeed it is coming towards me...

Jiang Chuan put his hands in his pockets, tightly holding something.

He still has one last resort, which he will only use as a last resort.

Do you want to use it now?

He used the bright red straw doll in its second form once during his first visit downstairs to the Hayakawa household.

That thing became extremely ferocious and even devoured zombies.

Finally, after the time was up, Jiang Chuan got a pitch-black doll.

This is what is in his pocket at the moment.

[Desperate Straw Doll: After swallowing the Desperate Straw Doll, it becomes deadly, its combat power increases again and it becomes extremely dangerous. Untie its rope for the last time, be careful, this time, it may not protect you.]

That day on the third floor, through the fence, Jiang Chuan witnessed the horror of the second form of the bright red straw doll.

So what will this third form look like?

Jiang Chuan couldn't imagine it, but he knew that the farm space system rated the bright red scarecrow as "somewhat dangerous", and the desperate scarecrow as "extremely dangerous".

The worst possible outcome is to die together!

Jiang Chuan already had an epiphany when he held this thing in his hand.

As long as Haruyuki and the others are safe, that's all that matters.

The first figure finally arrived outside his door and stopped.

Jiang Chuan's eyes were bloodshot and a few drops of cold sweat slid down his forehead.

The figure simply glanced behind him, then waved his arm, made a gesture, and moved forward again...

Passing by the door of my own house.

Jiang Chuan, who witnessed all this, was stunned.

Figures passed by his door one after another, seemingly having no interest in his house at all.

No, I'm really not interested!

This group of people's target is not me!

Jiang Chuan breathed a sigh of relief when he realized this, but this was followed by deep confusion.

It's not directed at me... then who is it directed at?

The optical glasses quickly gave him the answer.

Five people in a row passed through his door, and finally joined five people who went upstairs from the other side, and gathered outside the door of a room on the other side of the corridor.

Jiang Chuan watched this scene and gradually developed a bad feeling in his heart.

In his mind, the words that the investigator said before his death reappeared.

"Among the survivors you met, were there any that made you feel particularly uneasy?"

"Ms. Citizen, he is the 'matrix'. If left unchecked, all the citizens in this apartment building will be in big trouble."

Matrix!

Could it be that... this group of people came here for the so-called "matrix"?

In other words, the "matrix" has always existed in this apartment? !

who is it?

Jiro Hayakawa!

The originally disorganized fragments of information finally established connections. At this moment, Jiang Chuan gradually understood everything.

Well, not really, I just understood a little bit.

There are still countless doubts before him.

What exactly is the "matrix"?

Why did the “matrix” appear?

Why did Jiro Hayakawa come back to life?

Those people from the Tokyo Administration Bureau, under the pretext of registering survivors, actually broke into houses, killed people, and robbed women. However, they were extremely concerned about the so-called "matrix" and even went to such great lengths to start a war...

"Is there something profitable to be gained from the so-called 'maternal body'?"

Jiang Chuan came to this conclusion.

As he thought about this, the group of people in the corridor seemed to start to move.

One of them stood in the middle, his hands hanging down at his sides, posing like a Terminator holding a Gatling gun. The others took a half step back.

Jiang Chuan felt something was wrong, so he rushed into the bedroom and covered the two women's mouths with one hand each while they stared at him in shock.

"boom!!!"

As Jiang Chuan expected, a loud noise came from outside the door, and the screams of Ando Haruyuki and Mrs. Hayakawa were successfully blocked by Jiang Chuan.

Chapter 58 "Matrix"

"Demolition completed, first group breaks in, where is the mother body?!"

"Found it! Here!!"

"The mother body has been confirmed, ready to try to control it!"

On the rooftop of a building five hundred meters away, several helicopters were parked.

Shimizu Shiho held the railing on the edge of the roof with one hand and held a telescope in the other, looking towards the direction of Aoi's third apartment.

The sound of the intercom came from the headphones, and Shimizu Shiho could see everything that happened in the room through the telescope.

Her palms holding the railing had turned white, and she seemed very nervous.

However, there was a sudden silence on the other side of the headset.

Shimizu Shiho's expression suddenly became solemn.

"What's going on? What happened?"

"..."

There were clearly ten team members on the other end of the intercom, but for a moment no one's voice was heard.

at last.

"Captain Qingshui, please leave immediately. The mission has failed."

Hearing the vice-captain's words, Shimizu Shiho's breathing suddenly became rapid.

Without saying anything, just one sentence, Shimizu Shiho understood what had happened.

The mother has matured.

She put down the telescope, looked up at the clear blue sky, and took several deep breaths.

After a long silence, she finally spoke.
