Jiang Baimian instinctively made an "ah" mouth shape, but quickly closed it and did not make a sound.
She turned her gaze back to the front, smoothly turned around a bush, and then, as if casually, smiled:
"I always feel that I may have a hidden talent, that is, to make people feel close, to be at ease by my side, and to be willing to talk about some of the backlog of distress in my heart."
"It's not something that must be kept strictly confidential." Shang Jianyao did not agree with Jiang Baimian's statement, but he also got rid of the scene created by his previous words.
"Haha, just kidding." Jiang Baimian nodded as if he was thinking, "Actually, everyone has experienced two crises together, and you have exposed the secret of the Awakened One, so we have a good trust in each other. Have you ever heard the saying that the way to quickly bring two people closer is to let both parties have a little secret together. Also, we can be regarded as friends in adversity."
Just now, the serious Shang Jianyao suddenly laughed:
"How can you be sure that this trust was not created by me with the Awakened power?"
"......" Jiang Baimian thought carefully and found that this possibility could not be ruled out, after all, the scene where Shang Jianyao shook hands and said goodbye to the mechanical monk Jingfa was really impressive, and Shang Jianyao also said that if a cyclical proof can be formed in the interpersonal interactions around them, the affected person can hardly rely on themselves to detect the abnormality.
"Haha, just kidding." Shang Jianyao responded to her in a white cotton way.
Jiang Baimian glanced sideways:
"I almost pulled out my gun, you know?"
She retracted her gaze and said to herself:
"Although you are indeed joking, I also have to be prepared for similar situations...... How many logical verifications do you set yourself?
"Hmm...... The easiest way is to record key information on paper and chips every day and look through it when you go to bed. In this way, if there is a conflict between the front and back, you can wake up immediately, and I have to say that such a thing as a diary is still very useful."
"The abilities of the Awakened are not omnipotent." Shang Jianyao added.
Jiang Baimian didn't say anything more, and continued to search for clues in this hilly area with Shang Jianyao.
After almost an hour, she looked around and said:
"The surrounding area is too large and the environment is complex, and it is impossible to complete an effective search without ten days and a half months by just the two of us walking step by step."
Shang Jianyao didn't speak, because he saw that the team leader was still smiling on his face, and it was obvious that he had a way.
Sure enough, Jiang Baimian set his sights on him and said with a smile:
"Let's go back to the hill where we put the emergency flare before."
Shang saw that Yao's heart moved, and he vaguely grasped something.
Jiang Baimian continued:
"You will definitely encounter a lot of relic hunters and wilderness wanderers there, just ask them for information to see if there are any large bandit groups or dangerous teams haunting the surrounding area recently."
Speaking of this, she showed the smile she had after severely injuring the Pure Law before:
"If you are the leader of the raider team and see something abnormal happening in the place where you bought tickets and deliberately erased the traces of the team, would you send some unrelated people to the area where the emergency flare was fired to investigate the specific situation? Anyway, there will definitely be a large number of relic hunters and wilderness wanderers passing by, mixing in, and no one can tell the difference.
"At that time, if you can use this to grasp which big force is behind Black Rat Town, you can also make some targeted preparations in advance."
Shang Jianyao suddenly realized:
"They will not send their core members to investigate, or even find people who are subordinate to them, and most likely they will directly hire real wilderness wanderers who are active nearby."
In this way, even if it is a trap, there will be no problems, just like no one can find a drop of water in a lake that is unique in nature but has nothing abnormal in appearance.
After Shang Jianyao thought about it, he asked with a little doubt:
"Team leader, you should have thought about this a long time ago, why don't we just guard over there?"
"Where did those relic hunters and wilderness wanderers come from so quickly? There is no point in waiting over there, so it is better to familiarize yourself with this matter and search for it." Jiang Baimian turned his wrist and looked at the black electronic watch, "It's almost time, let's go over."
When they returned to the hill where the emergency flare was fired, Shang Jianyao realized that the previous search was actually leaning this way - after the two changed direction slightly, they only walked for ten minutes to reach their destination.
In other words, Jiang Baimian did not think of the relevant issues temporarily, but was premeditated, and even the search route was planned in advance.
After observing for a few minutes, Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian found the best position, climbed a tree, and monitored several roads leading to this hill.
After almost a quarter of an hour, ruin hunters and wilderness wanderers arrived one after another, heading towards the top of the hill.
They were all very careful, they were clear about each other but did not infringe on each other, after all, it was uncertain whether there would be any gains around the abnormal point, and it would be too stupid to fight first.
After a while, Jiang Baimian patted Shang Jianyao on the shoulder and pointed to the road on the left.
She didn't speak, because she couldn't be sure how loud her voice was, so she could only signal with her movements.
Shang Jianyao then looked over and saw two sneaky and cowering male wilderness wanderers.
They can't tell their specific age from their appearance, but what they have in common is rough, chapped, tanned, oily and greasy, messy and disheveled, and the beard on their faces has not been shaved for an unknown amount of time, and the surface is stained with various stains of unknown origin.
One of them was wearing a dark blue ripped sweater, a shirt that was so greasy that it was hard to see the original color, a black clothing that did not reach the waist and was obviously ill-fitting, and military green rubber shoes under his feet. He held a black pistol with a shimmering metallic luster pinned to his waist, and held a long, flaky knife in his palm.
Shang Jianyao felt that this was very similar to the watermelon knife in the textbook.
The other old padded jacket was tightly wrapped in black, and through the obvious holes, you could see that the cotton inside was compressed into a piece, and the hair was black and tight. He didn't seem to have a gun, but he had a sharp dagger on his waist, a baseball bat in both hands, and a dirty, extremely shriveled pocket on his shoulder.
"Yes, is there any problem?" Shang Jianyao asked in a low voice.
This was almost no different from the wilderness wanderers who had come before, but it was a little more cold.
"I ......" Jiang Baimian made a voice, with obvious inquiry in his tone.
Shang saw that Yao understood what the team leader meant, and quickly said:
"A little lower."
After two "debugging", Jiang Baimian finally suppressed his voice:
"Don't you think these two wilderness wanderers are too poorly equipped?"
"Isn't it normal for the Wilderness Wanderers to be poorly equipped?" Shang Jianyao asked rhetorically.
"Yes." Jiang Baimian did not deny it, and said while looking at the two wanderers, "The point is that there is a contradiction between their behavior and their equipment.
"Under normal circumstances, the wilderness wanderers with only a small pistol and a few cold weapons would not dare to rush to such a place where abnormalities occurred. As long as there is a fight, they have almost no ability to protect themselves.
"For this kind of wilderness wanderer, they will come back for half a day, or even a day later, to see if they can turn over some scraps. At that time, the rivals will be similar people, and they will not be powerless to resist."
Shang Jianyao nodded slightly when he heard this:
"It's like a lot of animals that feed on the rotting corpses left behind by the hunt of wild beasts.
"In other words, there is a certain probability that these two wilderness wanderers were forced over?"
And who would force two powerless wilderness wanderers to come over and investigate the anomaly?
Jiang Baimian embodied the teaching in practice, and said with a smile when he heard the words:
"Yes.
"Can you make them friendly and tell us the situation directly?"
Shang Jianyao looked at the two wilderness wanderers who were getting closer and closer, and said calmly:
"If there is only one, no problem.
"If both of them are there, there is a high possibility that they will witness each other, causing the 'reasoning' to fail.
"If you separate, affect one first, and then get together and affect the other, it's okay."
Jiang Baimian made an "OK" gesture:
"It's simple.
"Change the gun."
After saying that, she and Shang Jianyao exchanged grenades and assault rifles.
In the next second, Jiang Baimian jumped down and landed in front of the two wilderness wanderers.
After landing, she quickly raised her assault rifle and coldly pointed at the man wearing a ripped sweater and a pistol pinned to his waist.
Almost at the same time, she turned her waist slightly and kicked her right leg out, like a suddenly tense whip.
This kick undoubtedly didn't hit, but it scared the man with the baseball bat to retreat sharply and fall to the ground.
He glanced at the assault rifle in Jiang Baimian's hand, gave up his companion without hesitation, and fled into the distance without even stumbling and stumbling on his head.
The man holding a pistol and a watermelon knife was always pointed at by an assault rifle and did not dare to move.
At this time, Shang Jianyao jumped down and said with a smile:
"Don't be nervous.
"We have no ill intentions."
He motioned for Jiang Baimian to lower his gun, and when the man opposite was at a loss, he spoke:
"You see, you are here to search for intelligence, and we are also here to search for intelligence.
"You are human, and we are human.
"So ......"
The man's expression gradually became vivid, and finally he smiled:
"Brother!"
When he shouted this title, he subconsciously glanced at Jiang Baimian, only to see that the other party had put away his assault rifle and did not show the slightest hostility, so he believed in his reasoning and judgment even more.
"Brother!" Shang Jianyao learned from the other party and greeted him warmly, "Who asked you to come here?"
