Chapter 88 Ending
The high roof, the empty rooftop, and the mournful female voice are melodious and melodious.
Jiang Baimian listened quietly for a while, then looked around the dead and dark city around him, and said with a slight sigh:
"This song is pretty good."
Without waiting for Shang Jianyao and the others to respond, Jiang Baimian continued:
"Go down. The lights are out, and we don't know what will happen, so we have to keep an eye on the jeep and the armored vehicle.
"If you are negligent and get rid of them, it will be even more troublesome to face danger next."
She wasn't worried about whether there would be transportation to rush tomorrow morning, because there seemed to be quite a lot of cars that could be driven in the ruins of this city.
"Yes, team leader!" Long Yuehong replied reflexively.
Jiang Baimian looked at Shang Jianyao again:
"Turn off the speakers, otherwise you will be easily targeted."
Shang Jianyao did not refute, squatted down, picked up the small speaker with a black side on a blue background, turned it off, and threw it into his tactical backpack.
The surroundings suddenly became extremely quiet again, only the wind from high above was howling.
When the four members of the "Old Tune Team" walked to the staircase, Bai Chen couldn't help but look back and looked at the city scene that kept unfolding into the distance.
The buildings were hidden in the dark, without any sound coming out or the slightest light.
"Team leader, don't you think this looks like a tombstone?" When Bai Chen retracted his gaze, he asked softly.
Jiang Baimian looked back, was silent for a moment and said:
"Well, those buildings are like tombstones from the old world, tombstones ...... pieces."
Before she finished speaking, Shang Jianyao took the initiative to ask:
"What is a tombstone?"
There is no cemetery inside the "Pangu Creatures", and each dead employee only has a line of text engraved on the corresponding wall.
"It's ......" Jiang Baimian organized the language, "Forget it, I'll explain it to you later."
She immediately walked into the stairs and turned on the flashlight.
This time, they could no longer take the elevator and could only trot all the way down.
Fortunately, their physical fitness is quite good, and three of them have been genetically modified, so when they returned to room 805, they were only panting slightly and not very tired.
Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao checked the room separately and confirmed that no dangerous creatures had broken into this place.
"Bai Chen, you and Long Yuehong take a break, I am responsible for monitoring the jeep and armored vehicles, and Shang Jianyao pays attention to the streets outside." Jiang Baimian took the flashlight and returned to the living room.
"Hmm." Bai Chen kept watching the team leader come to the window of the restaurant and set up the "orange" rifle, before thinking and saying, "The place where the explosion just happened seems to be the mysterious laboratory that Qiao Chu mentioned."
Jiang Baimian did not look back, and watched downstairs intently:
"That direction, that location, there is a high probability that it is.
"I don't know if Qiao Chu's mission was to destroy there, or because he was entangled in the Mechanical Monk Pure Method, due to various accidents, it led to this big explosion......"
Shang Jianyao looked at the place where the fire and airflow had just risen, and said seriously:
"I guess it's the previous possibility."
"The conclusion drawn from the situation of the Eighth Research Institute described by Du Heng?" Jiang Baimian asked subconsciously.
Shang Jianyao shook his head:
"I just counted how many cars there were on the side of the road.
"The result is odd."
"......" Jiang Baimian took a sip, "I shouldn't have discussed the issue with you so seriously."
At this time, he looked at the ruins of the city submerged in darkness outside, and said in a slightly erratic tone:
"Team leader, I now kind of understand why you are investigating the reasons for the destruction of the old world, and why you like to dig up the past history from the ruins of the city......"
Jiang Baimian listened quietly and smiled with relief:
"Just understand."
Long Yuehong wanted to say something more, but she didn't know how to express it, so she could only continue to stare at the dead silent city that hid many dangers, and said instead:
"What will happen next?"
"Who knows?" Jiang Baimian was still staring at the jeep and armored vehicle, "I just hope that all the changes will not affect you, I just hope that Qiao Chu will be driven out of the ruins of this city all the way by the pure law, or, the two sides have fought to their limits and are seriously injured.
"Team leader, it doesn't seem auspicious for you to say that." Shang Jianyao replied casually.
Jiang Baimian said angrily and helplessly:
"We have all been unlucky so many times, things will be reversed, should Jitai come?"
Hearing the word "unlucky", Long Yuehong felt inexplicably guilty and touched her mouth.
I don't know if Jiang Baimian's words were really effective, but in the next few hours, although there were explosions, gunshots, and roars from time to time in the entire city ruins, they did not spread in the direction of the tunnel.
By midnight, the place was completely silent.
As time passed minute by minute, the sky gradually lit up, and buildings broke free from the darkness and revealed their figures.
But in the eyes of Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and others, they are more and more like tombstones, or dark black, gray or yellow faded tombstones.
"Let's go." After breakfast quickly, Jiang Baimian gave the order.
This time, she let Bai Chen and Long Yuehong sit in the armored car and take turns driving, while she and Shang Jianyao were in charge of the jeep.
In the morning light, they did not return along the same path as the tunnel, because the road was too tortuous and dangerous, and without Qiao Chu, who was familiar with the situation, the vehicle could easily fall into the swamp.
Moreover, Jiang Baimian suspected that some sections of the road over there could not bear the weight of the armored vehicle at all.
Based on An Ruxiang's statement and the traces left by the relic hunters, they made a small circle north for half a circle and left the ruins of the city on a relatively better road.
On the way, they did not forget to collect watches, LCD screens, sunglasses and various useful metals, and even found two barrels of suitable oil for the armored vehicle.
Driving on, Jiang Baimian squinted his eyes and said to Shang Jianyao in the passenger seat:
"There is a convoy coming in front, dozens or hundreds of people."
As soon as she finished speaking, she had already woken up.
"About a hundred people, this is Wang Beicheng's action brigade."
It was the team sent by "Pangu Creatures" to investigate the anomaly here.
Sure enough, they soon saw armored vehicles and other things, and saw Wang Beicheng, the captain of the 23rd Brigade.
Wang Beicheng was also surprised to meet Jiang Baimian and others again, he straightened the gray-black beret on his head, glanced at the armored car behind the jeep that did not belong to the company, and said to Jiang Baimian:
"Aren't you going to Qifeng Town?
"Why did you come here again and get an armored car?"
More importantly, it seems to have entered the newly discovered ruins of the city earlier than they did.
"Haha, accident, accident." Jiang Baimian laughed twice.
She immediately became serious and roughly said that she and others were seduced by Qiao Chu and entered the ruins of the city from the trail.
This includes "Urban Intelligence Network Control Center", Mystery Laboratory, "Advanced Heartless", Nightmare Horse, Xiao Chong, Du Heng, Garoland, The Last Big Bang and other related information.
In this, Jiang Baimian only concealed the knowledge of the awakened people provided by Du Heng and the place where Shang Jianyao's ability came into play, and cleverly linked the reason why they got rid of Qiao Chu's charm with the "higher mindless person" and the boy Xiao Chong.
From a certain point of view, this is actually the truth.
Wang Beicheng listened, his expression became solemn, and finally he said sincerely:
"Thank you so much, if it weren't for this information, we would have rushed in and didn't know how many people would have died!
"Moreover, the 'High Mindless' and Aberration Creatures there are definitely more than those you encounter, and even if we have some understanding in advance, it is still very dangerous.
"I will immediately send the intelligence back and ask for reinforcements.
"Next, we should only build a stronghold on the edge of the city for the time being......"
Jiang Baimian waved his hand:
"What you do has nothing to do with us."
Wang Beicheng looked at the armored vehicle again, rubbed his hands, and said hesitantly and smiled:
"Can you support the brother brigade?"
For them, one more armored vehicle and one more heavy machine gun would have considerable combat effectiveness.
Jiang Baimian smiled:
"No problem.
"But we have a lot of things in the armored vehicle, and we definitely can't take it away with a jeep alone, you have to be responsible for helping us transport it back to the company, and I have made a list.
"Also, the heavy machine gun in that armored vehicle is also our trophy, and it must be counted as a contribution."
For them, it is more convenient to travel on the gray soil or a jeep.
Wang Beicheng took a breath like a toothache:
"Okay."
After bidding farewell to Wang Beicheng's brigade, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen returned to the jeep.
Jiang Baimian said thoughtfully while driving:
"Since we have met Wang Beicheng and the others, it means that there should be no danger on this road, and we will not encounter Qiao Chu again.
"Shang Jianyao, you can cancel your 'Reasoning Clown' effect."
Shang Jianyao was playing with a pair of black sunglasses, sometimes putting them on and sometimes taking them off.
Hearing the team leader's instructions, he said with a smile:
"There are many couples in the company who are in free love."
Jiang Baimian was stunned for a moment, and patted the jeep's horn:
"Yes, how could I think that what is assigned is true love?"
Shang Jianyao immediately turned his head and said to Bai Chen:
"Humans can also be trusted and relied upon.
"After these few days, do you think we can protect your back too?"
Bai Chen was stunned, and his eyes flickered uncontrollably.
At this time, Jiang Baimian interrupted:
"Why are these words so familiar?
"You plagiarized what I said!"
"This is called a quote." Shang Jianyao responded seriously.
Bai Chen listened to their quarrel, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.
Shang Jianyao looked at Long Yuehong, who was a little confused, and smiled and said:
"Biological organ transplantation, nerve reconstruction, artificial uterus."
"......" Long Yuehong's facial muscles twitched a few times, resisting the urge to beat Shang Jianyao violently.
After all, it can't be beaten.
Before he recalled, he found that he had been unknowingly influenced by the "reasoning clown", and immediately blurted out a little fearfully:
"Do you usually mislead me with 'reasoning clowns'?"
Shang saw that Yaotou didn't reply, so he said directly:
"You don't deserve it."
"......" Long Yuehong didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
Jiang Baimian finally couldn't stand it anymore and said to Shang Jianyao:
"You sleep for a while, and then it's your turn to drive.
"Huh, I finally got rid of the mess here.
"Next, we can't delay any longer, the goal is Qifeng Town!"
When Shang Jianyao heard this, he pinched his temples, put on his sunglasses, leaned on the back of the chair, and closed his eyes.
…………
In the depths of the "Hall of Stars", at the top of the silver staircase, in front of the gray and white stone door.
Shang Jianyao looked at the three grooves above, put one hand in the pocket, stretched out the other, and pressed it on the door.
Inside the groove, white light rose and converged into three illusory stars.
Among them, the white light representing the "Mystery Clown" is much brighter than the other two groups.
In the next second, the white light showing the text "hypocritical person" suddenly brightens, quickly equating it with the "reasoning clown".
After a short period of solidification, the heavy stone door trembled gently and slowly retreated backwards.
As the crack in the door got bigger and bigger, Shang Jianyao saw the scene inside clearly.
It was an illusory "sea" with no bounds in sight, and the shimmering light slid gently on the water.
"Sea of Origin".
…………
After Jiang Baimian drove the jeep out of the depths of the swamp, he woke up Shang Jianyao:
"It's your turn.
"Next, let's have a smooth journey!"
Shang Jianyao opened his eyes, took off his sunglasses, neatly circled to the driver's seat, and swapped positions with the team leader.
When he sat down, he saw an endless gray and black wilderness ahead, with sparse clouds in the sky and bright blue.
"The weather is so nice." Shang Jianyao nodded, first put on his sunglasses, and then took out the small speaker from his tactical backpack.
Seeing Jiang Baimian looking over, he moved his body and said with a smile:
"How can you drive without music?"
When Bai Chen and Long Yuehong looked at each other, Shang saw that Yao made the speaker ring.
A hoarse cry followed:
"Arise, slave of hunger and cold......
"Arise, the afflicted people of the world......"
In the passionate and generous singing, Shang Jianyao waved his hand:
"Let's go!"
Before he finished speaking, he kicked the accelerator and let the jeep get up in the wilderness and drive into the distance.
