Chapter 44 Next Destination (Monday Recommendation Ticket)
For the newly discovered ruins of the old world city, because it is not clear what has happened to the remaining "heartless people" inside, and I don't know what hidden dangers there are, the ruin hunters are more inclined to cooperate and form alliances and explore together, rather than guarding against each other and trying to eliminate competitors.
In the relic hunter group, this kind of thing is called "reclamation".
Jiang Baimian was not surprised by Wu Shoushi's invitation, she first glanced back at Shang Jianyao and the others, and then said with a smile:
"We have other things."
Without waiting for Wu Shoushi to speak, she turned to say:
"I heard that there are many abnormalities north of Yuelu Station.
"In addition to the late-night roar you should know, there are also some people who die inexplicably, without any scars on the surface, their faces are distorted, or they are smiling, which is very strange."
She took the information from Harris. The information obtained from Brown was relayed to Wu Shoushi and others, which was regarded as a reward for the other party's help in dragging the jeep out of the mud.
After hearing this, Wu Shoushi glanced sideways at the female companion with an indifferent expression beside him:
"Ruxiang, what can you see?"
The woman in the military green camouflage uniform shook her head:
"I can't judge."
Wu Shoushi nodded invisibly, looked at Jiang Baimian and said:
"Thanks for the reminder, we'll pay attention.
"But such an opportunity may only come once every few years, and it will only become less and less after that, so it must not be let go.
"On the gray soil, you must try to fight for what you can, otherwise it is just the difference between dying a few years earlier or a few years later."
After he expressed his firm will, he saw that Jiang Baimian was just smiling and noncommittal, and immediately understood that the other party really did not have the idea of exploring the new ruins.
"Then we will continue on our way, I hope to see you again." Wu Shoushi said goodbye politely and returned to the gray off-road vehicle with his companions.
"I hope to see you again." Jiang Baimian raised his hand and waved it.
"Goodbye" is one of the best wishes on the gray earth.
In a situation where everyone can die at any moment from hunger, disease, attacks, and natural disasters, it is absolutely precious to be able to meet again.
After watching the gray off-road vehicle go away, Jiang Baimian turned around and sighed:
"What a pity......
"Such an undiscovered city ruin will definitely find a lot of precious first-hand information."
Bai Chen looked at the north and subconsciously asked:
"Are you really not going?"
"Am I the kind of person who does one thing in person and one thing behind the scenes?" Jiang Baimian asked with a smile.
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Shang Jianyao, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong looking at her in unison, their eyes somewhat strange.
"Haha." She laughed dryly, "That's tactics, understand? Tactics."
Before the three team members spoke, she teased Bai Chen:
"What? The blood of the wilderness wanderer is burning in your body, urging you to go?"
Bai Chen was silent for a second, then lowered his head slightly and said:
"More, yes, get used to it.
"As long as you know this kind of thing, every wilderness wanderer will not miss an opportunity.
"Compared to freezing to death in winter without food and clothing, there is at least hope for a fight."
Jiang Baimian nodded slightly, looked at Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong and said:
"If our 'Old Adjustment Team' has been established for more than half a year and has completed several tasks, then this time I will definitely revise the plan and go around to the north of Yuelu Station.
"However, we have two novices who have just arrived on the surface, and the anomalies and dangers there have been clearly revealed, and I can't take them on an adventure and use their lives to pave the way for my own expectations."
After Shang Jianyao listened quietly, he suddenly spoke:
"You said I did well before, making you forget that I am a newbie to the surface."
「…… What did you say? I didn't hear clearly." Jiang Baimian's smile froze on his face.
Before Shang Jianyao could repeat, she rubbed her ears:
"In short, every member of our 'Old Tune Group' is hard-won, and I will not let you sacrifice at will."
Speaking of this, she said to Bai Chen seriously:
"Look at the map to see where we are now.
"We won't go to the newly discovered ruins of the city, but we have to get the news back to the company. I'll have to find the nearest Wilderness Wanderer settlement with a wireless telegraph attached to the company.
"Also, Harris. The information provided by Brown, the information related to the Mechanical Monk's Purification Method, must also be passed back to the company."
"Okay." Bai Chen took out a relatively simple map.
At this time, Long Yuehong remembered to ask about the key thing:
"Team leader, have you solved the pure law?
"Will he chase after you again?"
Jiang Baimian sneered:
"If he would chase me at any time, would I dare to communicate with Wu Shoushi and the others here and chat with you?"
Seeing that Long Yuehong breathed a sigh of relief, she changed her mind and said:
"But, we really haven't solved the pure law yet."
Long Yuehong's body suddenly tightened a little.
Jiang Baimian then smiled and said:
"We just hit him hard and made him unable to catch up for a while.
"By the time he repairs himself, we will have long been out of his tracking. The Kuronuma Wilderness is so big, you hardly have to worry about being found by him."
Long Yuehong eased down and touched her stomach:
"I feel a little hungry."
At this time, it had been a long time since lunch, and he only stuffed half a compressed biscuit when he was affected by the "Hungry Ghost Dao".
Jiang Baimian's eyebrows moved slightly and said:
"You didn't even ask us how we severely damaged the Pure Dharma?"
"From the time you get off the bus halfway, I can roughly guess your real plan." Long Yuehong straightened her back, "For specific details, you can ask after lunch."
"Children can be taught." Jiang Baimian praised in a pretending old tone, "It's smarter than I thought."
Long Yuehong suddenly felt joyful, and subconsciously wanted to be humble.
At this time, Shang Jianyao blurted out on purpose whether he had deliberately asked:
"Team leader, did you think he wasn't smart before?"
"......" Long Yuehong's expression collapsed instantly.
Jiang Baimian coughed twice:
「…… That's not the case, mainly because he has no experience, and it's pretty good to be able to react in time.
"No matter what, it has also been genetically modified, and its brain is not too bad."
"My grades are only average......" Long Yuehong lowered her head slightly and replied to herself.
Jiang Baimian tilted his head slightly and carefully discerned the other party's words.
After a few seconds, she glanced at Shang Jianyao:
"Sometimes, being too smart is not necessarily a good thing, but the average person is more likely to survive because they know how to follow orders and do not make their own decisions.
"Besides, everyone's strengths are different."
Long Yuehong took a breath and nodded slowly.
At this time, Bai Chen had confirmed the current location and pointed it out to Jiang Baimian on the map.
"Ha, the nearest settlement is actually in the north...... It should arrive in the evening or tomorrow morning...... Jiang Baimian looked at it carefully for a while, "Fortunately, there is still a long distance from Yuelu Station, and there is a certain deviation in the direction, so it will not let us get involved in the affairs over there."
She casually closed the map and threw it to Bai Chen:
"Let's go, target Black Rat Town!"
Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong were unfamiliar with the Black Marsh Wilderness and had no objection.
"Bai Chen, check the condition of the vehicle, Long Yuehong, take out some more energy bars from the trunk." Jiang Baimian ordered as he walked towards the jeep.
When Bai Chen and Long Yuehong each did what they were instructed, Jiang Baimian slowed down, looked at the small swamp in front of him, and said to Shang Jianyao beside him:
"Why did you hit Long Yuehong's self-confidence just now?
"Be honest and say what you really think."
Shang Jianyao also looked ahead, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned and said:
"I want him to leave the 'old tune group', he is too in the way."
Jiang Baimian did not respond and continued to walk slowly towards the jeep position.
After two seconds, she heard Shang Jianyao's slightly dull voice sounding low:
"This is too dangerous for him......"
Jiang Baimian tilted his head not much, and a smile appeared on his face again:
"I almost didn't hear what you were saying!"
She didn't continue the topic just now, quickened her pace, and got into the driver's seat of the jeep.
Soon, the Jeep restarted and headed north towards Black Rat Town.
After taking turns to finish lunch, Shang Jianyao took the initiative to ask:
"What is the Wild Grass City? Where?"
Bai Chen, who was in the passenger position, turned his head sideways and said:
"It is a city on the border of the 'First City', on the edge of the Monk Wasteland."
"Monk Wasteland?" Long Yuehong was keenly aware that this term was a bit strange.
——Inside the "Pangea Creature", because many people may never reach the surface of the earth in their lives, the corresponding geography textbooks are very rough, only roughly introducing the major forces and marking the most important terrain.
"It's the area where the mechanical monks are most active." Jiang Baimian explained casually while driving, "It is rumored that the headquarters of the Monk Order hides the glazed pure land of 'immortals' technology and corresponding equipment, somewhere in this wasteland."
Bai Chen added:
"The specific location of this wasteland is in the southeast of the Black Marsh Wilderness, and if you want to go to the 'First City', as long as you don't take a detour, you will pass through."
After a brief introduction to the monk wasteland, she continued the previous topic:
"Weeds City was originally a small force in the Monks' Wasteland, but later the 'Original City' expanded and wanted to turn all its inhabitants into slaves.
"In this way, they fought several battles, each suffering casualties, and at that time, the 'First City' was still in conflict with other major forces, so there was really no way to reinforce the slave trapping team here, so they had to negotiate with the Wild Grass City to allow them to join the 'First City' as official citizens.
"Therefore, the Wild Grass City has a high degree of autonomy, and it is a place where relic hunters are very active, and the 'Hunter Guild' branch there is also quite famous."
After listening to Bai Chen's narration, Long Yuehong, who had eaten and drank enough, began to ask about the specific details of Jiang Baimian and others dealing with the pure law, and learned experience and intelligence from them.
At the end of the conversation about this matter, he looked sideways at Shang Jianyao, and asked curiously and a little hesitantly:
"What is the name of the Awakened ability that made the Pure Dharma suddenly friendly?"
He quickly added:
"If it's inconvenient to answer, don't say it."
Shang Jianyao looked at the windshield in front of him, was silent for a few seconds and said:
"Reasoning clown."
