Seeing that the room was empty again, Jiang Baimian walked towards a wooden back chair and said with a smile:
"Our company, as you can tell from the name, is researching biotechnology, and the relationship between biology and medicine has always been very close, so we are also relatively strong in the corresponding fields."
As she spoke, she had already lifted the wooden chair and walked to Tian Erhe's bedside.
During this process, her eyes seemed to inadvertently sweep over Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong, Bai Chen, Li Zhengfei, the radio transceiver and the window on the other side of the bed.
She originally planned to let Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong return to the jeep location to guard the most valuable property of the "old tune team", the spare batteries inside, and a large amount of food.
But she quickly gave up on this idea.
In this night when the undercurrent is likely to be turbulent, it is better not to separate the members of the "old tune group".
"Anyway, if the car is lost and the things are robbed, the company will make up for it......
"The most important people now are Mayor Tian and Li Zhengfei, and the most important item is the radio transceiver that keeps in touch with the company......
"If something really happens, it's not easy to run there, it's easy to be surrounded, and it's not that easy to climb over the wall......
"Behind this room is a wall, you can see the fields not far away, when the time comes, if you can't stick to this place, just open the window and jump down to break through half the way......
"It's not difficult to fight guerrillas over there, and it's not difficult to persist until the people from the company come......
"Well, the pistol and the corresponding bullets are all on me......" Jiang Baimian's thoughts were spinning, and he had already considered what to do with the worst-case scenario.
She immediately put the chair next to the bed, sat down, and introduced Tian Erhe, Li Zhengfei and the two members of the town guard in the room to the various situations of "Pangu Creatures", focusing on the treatment of regular employees and the situation of other vassal forces.
Of course, before Shuiwei Town is officially accepted by "Pangu Biology", there are definitely some things that cannot be discussed, including the existence of underground buildings, the location of the company's entrance, etc.
In this, Jiang Baimian also deliberately ignored topics such as genetic improvement. She knew that on the gray soil, many people hated these technologies that they thought were seriously contrary to nature and would bring disaster, and she couldn't be sure if Tian Erhe and Li Zhengfei opposite were such people.
Although the name "Pangu Bio" can make everyone associate it in a similar way, since the other party did not show it, Jiang Baimian would not be stupid enough to take the initiative to provoke sensitive topics.
Tian Erhe's mental state is obviously not as good as he just said, and he will have to close his eyes or sleep for a while after listening to it. Li Zhengfei and Bai Chen originally wanted everyone to leave this room and let the mayor have a good rest, but Tian Erhe always woke up quickly and stopped him.
As they stopped chatting, the sky outside the window gradually became faint and glimmering.
Early morning arrived.
Seeing that the most dangerous time period had passed, Jiang Baimian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Throughout the night, she didn't rest, she just left the chair from time to time to move her body, but she arranged for Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen to take turns sleeping to maintain energy.
Jiang Baimian was about to ask the team members to bring breakfast when he suddenly heard a sound from the wireless telegraph.
"There is a telegram......" Jiang Baimian explained to Tian Erhe and Li Zhengfei, and walked over.
Under everyone's expectant eyes, she quickly translated the content of the message.
She raised her eyebrows and said:
"The people sent by the company have arrived at the entrance of the swamp."
"So fast?" Long Yuehong asked questions on behalf of everyone.
According to the normal process, the company should start arranging manpower and preparing medicines now, which will take almost an hour.
If nothing happens on the way and everything goes smoothly, then the team should arrive in the evening or earlier.
Compared to the expected situation, it is now a whole day earlier.
Jiang Baimian thought for a moment and said:
"It's not too uncommon to march quickly at night.
"Moreover, the road conditions from the company to here are relatively good."
She didn't say that at least half of the journey was in the company's actual control area, and many combat teams of the Security Department had already clearly figured out the situation in that area, and they would not step into the pit even if they closed their eyes.
Of course, it is indeed easy to have problems when traveling at night, after all, the line of sight will be limited, but sometimes, people have no choice, and the environment is definitely not an empty phrase.
Based on this, the top management of the "Pangu Bio" security department consciously included night marches in various combat groups and operational groups as training subjects.
This is the difference between a regular army and a wilderness bandit.
"Could it be that there happens to be a team nearby?" Bai Chen saw that Tian Erhe and Li Zhengfei were still surprised, so he put forward his own guess.
Jiang Baimian shook his head:
"I emphasized bringing doctors, medicines and equipment, and there should be no team going out."
Speaking of this, she smiled at Tian Erhe and Li Zhengfei:
"Let you guess the approximate distance between the company and here."
The distance of a team marching rapidly at night.
"It's okay, come early and feel at ease." Tian Erhe gave up his worries just now and exhaled with a smile.
This made him cough a few more times, and Bai Chen patted him on the back worriedly.
Jiang Baimian glanced at it and said directly:
"I'll go pick them up, the route into the town is winding and round, and first-time visitors will definitely get lost."
"Okay." Tian Erhe didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
Li Zhengfei thought for a while and said to the "dog" Ding Ce guarding the room:
"Xiao Ce, you go with her."
When he said this, his eyes were solemn and his head was slightly nodded.
Ding Ce immediately understood what the head meant:
If you find something wrong on the way, you must fight for your life and notify the people in the town.
"Yes, boss!" Ding Ce's blood surged and he straightened his chest.
He was a little scared, but he felt it was worth it.
Jiang Baimian did not refuse, and said to Long Yuehong:
"You are with me."
Compared with the people who went to pick up the company, it was obviously more dangerous to stay here, so Jiang Baimian asked Long Yuehong to follow him.
At that time, if the situation in the town changes suddenly, Shang Jianyao, who is good at "making friends", and Bai Chen, who is familiar with the environment, will have a higher chance of survival.
"Yes, team leader!" Long Yuehong answered louder than Ding Ce.
It's a habit.
When Jiang Baimian and the three of them left, Bai Chen said to Tian Erhe:
"You should be at ease now, right?
"Sleep for a while, they are not that fast."
Her tone was like reassuring a child.
"If you don't wait for them to enter the town, how can you really feel at ease?" Tian Erhe shook his head stubbornly.
He looked at Bai Chen and coughed twice:
"I wanted to ask you before, why do you always wear this scarf?"
There is a stove in the room, and the temperature is not that low.
Bai Chen's expression changed slightly, and then he smiled bitterly:
"There is something bad......"
Tian Erhe didn't ask again, and half-closed his eyes, as if his energy could no longer support it and he needed to slow down.
Seeing this, Li Zhengfei set his sights on Shang Jianyao, as if he wanted to pass the rest of the time by chatting - maybe he could get more information.
However, Shang Jianyao used his fingers to pull the zipper in front of his mouth and whined twice.
"Huh?" Li Zhengfei looked dazed.
Bai Chenyin tried to explain with some speculation:
"What he means is that he is not convenient to speak."
He may be afraid that his brain will be pumped and ruin this somewhat sad and solemn atmosphere...... Bai Chen finished the rest of the words in his heart.
Shang saw Yao nodded heavily, saying that this is it.
Seeing that his guess was confirmed, Bai Chen's gaze towards Shang Jianyao suddenly became a lot gentler.
She didn't expect that this teammate with mental problems and was very out of the way would silently make such great efforts and sacrifices.
However, Bai Chen also inexplicably felt that Shang Jianyao's situation seemed to be a little more serious than before.
Li Zhengfei couldn't understand why Shang Jianyao was inconvenient to speak, and could only think that this was a more tactful way to refuse to reveal more information.
He had to turn to look at Bai Chen, but Bai Chen got busy, packed up the spittoon, opened the door for ventilation, and cleaned up the room.
I don't know how long it took, Tian Erhe woke up. He turned his head sideways, listened for a while, and asked a little weakly:
"What is the sound outside?
"Are you here?"
Bai Chen walked a few steps to the aisle outside, supported the railing with both hands, and looked at the gate of Shuiwei Town.
There were no outsiders there, only the voices of "one, two, three, four" and "one, two, three, four" floated faintly.
"The sound outside is 'one, two, three, four' and 'one, two, three, four'." At this time, Shang Jianyao imitated what he heard.
Tian Erhe's expression quickly became softer, and the wrinkles unfolded in turn:
"Are the children doing morning exercises......" he said to himself with a smile, and his mental state seemed to have improved.
…………
Outside the swamp, Ding Ce followed Jiang Baimian and Long Yuehong to see the team sent by "Pangu Creatures".
The cars with flashing metal and glass, the soldiers in gray and green uniforms, and the weapons that gave people a new feeling were all deeply shocked.
Jiang Baimian nodded slightly, and praised the person in charge of this matter in his heart:
"The company is still very experienced......
"Knowing that similar reception must be glamorous in appearance and surrender without a fight......"
…………
Shuiwei Town, outside the room of Tian Erhe.
Bai Chen no longer knew that this was the first time he had been urged by the mayor to go to the corridor to see if Jiang Baimian and the others had returned.
Finally, she saw the convoy slowly approaching the town and the familiar gray-green jeep.
"It's here! They have arrived!" Bai Chen quickly turned around and shouted into the room.
Tian Erhe's whole person instantly relaxed.
He took a few breaths and turned his head to Li Zhengfei and said:
"You arrange the manpower and maintain order.
"When we meet, we will gather everyone and announce this matter."
Li Zhengfei had already stood up and replied:
"I'll go right away."
Bai Chen still stayed in the corridor, pressing the railing with both hands, and kept turning back to report the situation to Tian Erhe, like a little girl who was a little excited:
"They passed through the gate."
"They got out of the car."
"They were lining up and passing through the square.
"Everyone was a little confused, but order was quickly restored."
Reporting here, Bai Chen suddenly stopped.
She felt that the room was terribly quiet, without a single echo.
Bai Chen turned around and looked, only to see Shang Jianyao standing closer to the door, looking at the bed with a solemn expression, while Tian Erhe had shrunk back at some point, from sitting to lying down.
A bad premonition came instantly, Bai Chen's expression changed, he quickly ran in, and squatted next to Tian Erhe.
She saw that the mayor's face was bluish-black and had no luster at all.
She trembled and stretched out her finger and approached the tip of Tian Erhe's nose.
After more than ten seconds, she suddenly withdrew her hand and shouted tentatively:
"Mayor!"
This time, there was no response.
Bai Chen's vision blurred all of a sudden, his knees lost support, and he knelt on the ground with a bang.
She grabbed the edge of the bed in a gaffe, and shouted as if her voice was blocked for most of the time:
"Grandpa!"
…………
Under the gaze of the townspeople with messy and dirty clothes, Jiang Baimian led the people sent by "Pangu Creatures" through the area where mud houses, brick houses, and tents were built chaotically.
As soon as she walked to the flag-raising platform, she suddenly heard a neat and immature voice coming from the building in the deepest part of Shuiwei Town:
"The journey of the great road is also for the public in the world, selecting the virtuous and capable, and emphasizing faith and harmony.
"Therefore, people do not only kiss their relatives, but also their sons, so that the old have an end, the strong have use, the young have growth, and the proud, widowed, orphaned, lonely, and disabled are all supported......"
