Chapter 51 Detachment (Ask for Recommendation Votes)
After firing the emergency flare, Shang Jianyao and the four of them drove the jeep back to the hill where Black Rat Town was located, and camped in a hidden place on the mountainside - so that they could condescendingly monitor the grove to see if there were any relic hunters or wilderness wanderers passing by, near the entrance of the cave.
After Long Yuehong, who had removed the outer skeleton device, made the tent, he couldn't hide his doubts and asked loudly:
"Team leader, I can't figure it out."
"What?" Jiang Baimian is happy to answer questions for novices.
Long Yuehong frowned and said:
"Why did that group of people have to attack Black Rat Town? In the case of discovering the ruins of an old world city, they have an easier way to obtain more resources, and there is no need to attack Black Rat Town, which is relatively well-armed. Didn't you say it too? Now is a special environment where relic hunters and wilderness wanderers can live in peace and even form alliances, after all, everyone wants more help to deal with the dangers lurking in the ruins."
Jiang Baimian nodded first, and then smiled:
"Good question.
"However, although the main premise is that this is true, the specific situation still needs to be analyzed in detail. I once read an old world book that said that the act of rigidly applying existing principles, concepts, and situations without analyzing the changes, developments, and corresponding particularities of things is called making the 'dogmatic' mistake.
"Specific to the matter of Black Rat Town, there are two main differences:
"First, we have analyzed just now that the raider team is either at least 30 people or has seven or eight core and elite members, with a large number of vassals. And no matter which it is possible, they can definitely be called strong, coupled with the weapon configuration and ammunition situation that can be seen on the spot, they can be completely distinguished from the ordinary relic hunter team and the wilderness wanderer team.
"Second, Black Rat Town, as a sub-human settlement, will certainly not explore it when a large number of humans flock to the newly discovered ruins of the city, at most gathering intelligence from the periphery, and cannot be the cannon fodder that the raider team wants.
"In this case, if the raider team is confident that they can deal with the residents of Black Rat Town with almost no damage or little loss, and get a lot of resources, then they have every reason to cause such a tragedy.
"In this way, even if the ruins of that city are too dangerous and the raider team does not dare to approach, they have enough to gain and not come in vain."
Seeing Long Yuehong nodding frequently, Jiang Baimian added:
"Moreover, there are many additional possibilities, for example, the raider team is full of hatred for all the sub-people because of their past encounters, and would rather suffer losses than kill them, for example, they rushed here because of a strange roar north of Yuelu Station, and they didn't know that a new old world city ruins were discovered there, for example, Black Rat Town was the first to notice the anomaly because of its location near the area north of Yuelu Station, and sent people to investigate and harvested some things that made the raider team willing to take risks."
Long Yuehong was dizzy when she heard this, but she had to admit that the team leader was right.
Under the premise that all aspects of the situation have not been clearly investigated, there are indeed too many possibilities.
Jiang Baimian didn't explain anymore, looked around, thought for a few seconds and said:
"For the next few days, we will take turns in a team.
"The people in the camp are responsible for guarding the jeeps and monitoring the cave area, while those who go out investigate whether there are any signs of murder or other clues nearby.
"Well, this time, Long Yuehong and I are on the same team, and Bai Chen and Shang Jianyao are on the same team."
"Why?" Long Yuehong blurted out.
Shang Jianyao smiled:
"Because you are weak.
"Isn't this obvious?"
"......" Long Yuehong seemed to have been punched and couldn't fight back, and her whole body became a little wilted.
Indeed, it is not difficult to see the reasons for the regrouping:
Shang Jianyao showed the ability and sufficient calmness of the awakened person, coupled with the physique, energy, skill and talent of the genetic improver, in the "old tune group", the strength can already be ranked between second and third - at close range, he is undoubtedly stronger than Bai Chen, after exceeding a certain range, Bai Chen, who is good at sniping and experienced, is still a little more powerful than him.
In this way, the strongest Jiang Baimian and the weakest Long Yuehong teamed up, which could not only ensure the survival of the latter more effectively, but also make the strength of the two squads more even.
Hearing Shang Jianyao's ridicule, Jiang Baimian glanced at him and shook his head helplessly and with a small margin.
At this time, Bai Chen, who was in charge of guarding the surroundings, interjected:
"Team leader, it's actually not necessary. I can't use the jeep in recent days, and the solar charging pad can charge the backup battery, so you don't have to worry about the exoskeleton device consuming too much power and not being able to use it at critical moments."
"Yes." Jiang Baimian smiled and said to Long Yuehong, "You continue to be on the same team with Bai Chen, remember to wear an exoskeleton device when you go out, hehe, with such an operation, you have become the strongest one in the group, people, the most important thing is indeed equipment, I remember an ancient article that said: A gentleman is born different, and he is good at fakes."
Long Yuehong's spirit quickly recovered, only to feel that what the team leader said was really reasonable.
Shang Jianyao cares more about another point:
"Why haven't I learned this ancient text?"
Bai Chen had never heard of it.
Jiang Baimian thought for a moment and said:
"Extracurricular reading, extracurricular reading."
Thinking that Jiang Baimian said that he had a biologist father, and this was at least a D9-level employee who was only one step away from the management, and the treatment he could get was far more than his own, Long Yuehong was suddenly relieved, and Shang Jianyao no longer had any questions.
Jiang Baimian immediately looked up at the sky and determined the position of the sun:
"It's still early, Bai Chen, Long Yuehong, you stay in the camp, monitoring the Black Rat Town area, Shang Jianyao and I will go out to search for a while."
"Yes, team leader!" Long Yuehong and Bai Chen replied loudly at the same time.
Without delay, Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian left the hidden place and walked to the bottom of the hill.
As before, they each carried two pistols, and then, one carried an assault rifle and the other carried a grenade gun.
After leaving the hill where Black Rat Town is located and coming to the hilly area with dense vegetation, Shang Jianyao suddenly spoke:
"Team leader, why do we have to wait for the company people to come and take action ourselves to track down the group of attackers?"
Jiang Baimian slowed down, turned his body halfway, and said quite directly:
"For your safety."
"We have an exoskeleton device and enough firepower to deal with that raider team without much danger." Shang Jianyao said with a serious expression.
Jiang Baimian looked into his eyes and responded calmly:
"I know, you have a lot of anger in your heart."
She paused for a moment and exhaled quickly:
"I have it too.
"But in battle, bullets don't grow eyes, they don't avoid you because you are handsome and novice, just because you are handsome, they are tolerant of you, on the contrary, they prefer such people.
"Besides, how can you be sure that the raider team does not have the capability to deal with military exoskeleton devices? They can all get thermobaric bombs, and I won't be surprised at all if they have some other powerful equipment."
"We can track and scout first, confirm the situation before considering whether to attack, and if it can't be done, we will withdraw and wait for the company's people." Shang Jianyao still didn't give up.
Jiang Baimian turned around and said as he walked forward:
"Don't say tracking and reconnaissance so simply.
"In the security department, the employees responsible for reconnaissance duties must be one of the best people in the corresponding team.
"If you and Long Yuehong are experienced enough, then I really want to give it a try, but now, can you guarantee that you won't be detected during reconnaissance and won't detonate the battle on the spot?
"In a mature team, it's not that everyone can't make mistakes, but when one person makes a mistake, the other members know how to make amends.
"When Bai Chen and I make a mistake, you and Long Yuehong can quickly remedy it, our 'Old Tune Team' can try something similar."
Speaking of this, Jiang Baimian glanced at Shang Jianyao, who was quickly catching up:
"Didn't you still attack Long Yuehong just now, and you wanted him to lose his self-confidence, fail the assessment, and quit the 'old tune group'?
"Now don't worry about tracking the attacker and causing him danger?
"Ah, I understand, what you think is that when the time comes, you will wear an exoskeleton device, rush into the attacker team, and kill it, so that Long Yuehong just needs to watch."
As he spoke, Jiang Baimian laughed:
"Aren't you trying to save all mankind? How can you take such a big risk at such a time? If you die on the spot, who will take on that sacred mission?"
「…… Team leader, don't say that you are greedy for life and afraid of death so grandiosely." Shang Jianyao was almost bypassed.
Then, he said seriously:
"There are those who come after you."
"Uh...... I don't know if you're joking." Jiang Baimian turned around and said, "I have to be responsible for you, you and Long Yuehong are not married yet, they haven't given birth to children, if you die like this, it's not worth it, hehe, it's not good for the company."
"Then do you have children? Don't you often take risks?" Shang Jianyao asked hurriedly.
Jiang Baimian glared at this guy:
"No.
"When I was married to the unification, I was lying in the hospital and could die at any time, but later I survived by volunteering and undergoing genetic modification.
"In the future, because the situation of genetic modification is still unclear and unsure of what hidden dangers there are, it needs to be further observed and waiting for various experiments to give more convincing data, such as genetic stability, so I have not participated in marriage."
Jiang Baimian suddenly frowned:
"What am I telling you about this? Can our situation be the same? Most of the time, I am still quite sure that adventure is adventure."
She didn't want to continue this topic, so she diverted:
"You are because of ......"
She pointed to her head:
"That's why you gave up on unified marriage?"
Shang Jianyao replied calmly:
"Although I do have problems with this......
Without waiting for him to finish, Jiang Baimian asked amusedly:
"Do you know it yourself?"
Shang Jianyao ignored her and continued:
"But a large part of the usual abnormal behavior is actually intentional."
"Why?" Jiang Baimian asked.
Shang Jianyao's eyes flickered for a moment, and he looked sideways into the distance:
"I don't want children, and I don't want a woman to worry about."
