Long Yuehong was about to read the information a few more times when the lights in the room suddenly went out.
"It's power outage time?" Jiang Baimian turned his wrist and looked at the electronic watch and found that it was already past eight forty.
She immediately laughed:
"This is much more humane than the company."
Inside "Pangu Biology", it is said that if the street lights are turned off at 9 o'clock in the evening, it will not be delayed until 9:01, unlike now, it is overtimed for more than ten minutes.
"Does humanization mean looser management?" Bai Chen tried hard to understand the subtext of the team leader.
Jiang Baimian said "hmm":
"There are good and bad, the specific situation must be analyzed in detail."
"Saying it is the same as not saying it." Shang Jianyao commented seriously.
He then added:
"I'm afraid Bai Chen will be embarrassed to say that."
"Hey, you're quite enthusiastic." Jiang Baimian was already accustomed to Shang Jianyao's similar behavior, but he just gave him a blank look.
She immediately said:
"It's all rested, I'm busy from morning to night today, and I have to get down to business again tomorrow."
"Yes, team leader!" Long Yuehong subconsciously replied loudly.
Seeing this, Jiang Baimian smiled a little helplessly:
"No need to be so formal. Do you want the whole building to know that we are together and have a team leader?
"Hehe, it's okay, just pay attention, different environments have different environmental requirements."
Fortunately, there was just a power outage at this time, which brought a lot of noise and noise, completely covering up the small movement here.
According to the previous arrangement, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong entered the room near the yard.
In this way, if something really happened, Bai Chen could jump into the yard with Long Yuehong as soon as possible and return to the jeep, while Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao both had different sensing abilities from ordinary people, which could effectively prevent accidents from the street.
"Do you sleep on it, or do I sleep on it?" After watching Bai Chen and Long Yuehong leave, Jiang Baimian pointed to the high and low beds in the room.
"You." Shang Jianyao replied without hesitation.
Jiang Baimian thought for a moment and asked with a smile:
"Are you worried that waking up at night will affect me?"
"I ate a lot today." Shang Jianyao said sincerely.
"That's okay." Jiang Baimian suddenly remembered something, "Don't challenge the disease island tonight, you have to get down to business tomorrow and recuperate."
"Okay." Shang Jianyao did not hesitate.
"It's better to be able to distinguish the priorities of things." Jiang Baimian smiled and praised.
As she spoke, she walked to the table by the window and looked outside.
The entire South and East Streets were pitch black, and even the street lights no longer emitted light.
Some places on West Street still shine through, like lighthouses in the dark; North Street was brightly lit, as if the galaxy had fallen to the ground.
"It's really clear......" Jiang Baimian sighed, took off his jacket, and climbed to the upper bunk.
Not long after she and Shang Jianyao lay down, they suddenly heard a few crisp gunshots.
This is from West Street.
After a few bangs, the night calmed down again, and the dynamic and warm music continued to come from West Street without any impact.
Slapping, Shang Jianyao suddenly clapped his hands.
"What are you applauding?" Jiang Baimian didn't bother to guess what Shang Jianyao wanted to express, so he asked directly.
"They are really energetic." Shang Jianyao replied with a little yearning.
"Maybe this is Weed City." Jiang Baimian closed his eyes and slowly developed drowsiness.
Not long after, a commotion broke out at the city gate not far from them, mixed with a few gunshots.
"Why are there people shooting here?" Long Yuehong, who was sleeping in the lower bunk, asked Bai Chen worriedly and curiously.
He chose to go down the bunk because Bai Chen was good at sniping and could better monitor the movement in the yard from a higher place.
"Those wanderers who can't enter the city during the day want to break in at night." Bai Chen guessed based on his own knowledge and the current environment, "Then, the guard fired."
Long Yuehong felt quite complicated when he heard this, not only feeling sorry for the wanderers waiting to die on the cold winter night, but also feeling that the guards were shooting in the right way and did not make any mistakes.
This reminded him of a sentence, the favorite sentence of those employees who have served in the safety department for a long time within "Pangu Biotech":
"This fucking world!"
When the movement at the city gate subsided, Long Yuehong quickly forced herself to sleep.
At this moment, he heard a muttering sound coming from upstairs or upstairs.
In other buildings, there was similar movement, as if echoing in the yard.
Long Yuehong is no stranger to this, after all, the sound insulation where ordinary employees of "Pangu Biotech" live is not so good.
This made him a little blushing - the difference now is that he also sleeps a woman in his upper bunk.
After a while, the mmm-ah-ah voice subsided one after another, and Long Yuehong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But within a few minutes, the chanting sounded again.
Almost at the same time, a sharp curse erupted:
"Get out!
"I just gave you two steamed buns and want to come a second time? Do you want to be shameless?"
Long Yuehong was a little stunned when she heard this, and after a while, she hesitated and asked:
"This, what's going on?"
"Prostitute." Bai Chen replied concisely.
Within "Pangu Creatures", this is a non-existent profession, and Long Yuehong only knows what it means through textbooks and dictionaries.
"Ah......" Long Yuehong was startled at first, and then defended herself, "I thought the people on the surface were busy surviving......"
"This is a way of survival in itself." Bai Chen said without the slightest contempt, "And the more pressure to survive, the more I will seek venting in this area."
She paused for a moment and added two sentences:
"In Wild Grass City, there are too many outsiders, too many relic hunters, who wander the gray soil all year round, and have not touched a woman for weeks or even months.
"In this regard, female relic hunters are much better, as long as they are willing, some are candidates, and they may be able to earn some supplies, but they also have to consider whether they will be infected with diseases and whether they will become pregnant. For a female relic hunter, these are all things that will ruin herself if she is not careful."
After listening quietly, Long Yuehong wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into a sigh.
The night flowed at a constant speed between calm and unrest, and when Long Yuehong woke up in the middle of the night, the whole city had fallen asleep completely at some point.
At half past seven, it was just dawn, the darkness was still the master of the earth, and the streets were already lively.
Many shops are open and selling breakfast.
Among them, the most popular business is a few shops selling Wo Wotou, which are cheap enough to be their feature.
Some stores even only sell charcoal-grilled hot water, 1 cass and 1 cup, specially prepared for relic hunters who choke on eating Wo Wotou.
- You also have to pay for running water.
"Good ......" Shang saw that Yao had eaten two yellow wowotou in a row and made an evaluation.
This kind of nest head only gets 5 cas, and two get 1 drase.
Jiang Baimian, who was picking up the water bag, glanced at Shang Jianyao:
"No one is urging you, what are you doing eating so fast?"
"I re-experienced the feeling of being hit by the 'Hungry Ghost Dao'." Shang saw that Yao finished drinking water and explained seriously.
"Do you want to say that if you get used to this way of eating first, when you encounter the Pure Dharma, you can buy a few extra seconds after being hit by the 'Hungry Ghost Dao'?" Jiang Baimian asked enlightenedly.
"Be prepared, more is better than less." Shang Jianyao nodded.
「…… You are repeating it again!" Jiang Baimian first thought this was a bit familiar, and then remembered that he had said it.
She smiled instead:
"Actually, wouldn't it be better to prepare some food that is easy to swallow?"
"You can't predict when you will encounter the Pure Dharma." Shang Jianyao hung the water bag back on his armed belt.
"You can keep it on your body and not eat it." Jiang Baimian retorted, "However, he shouldn't be able to meet Zen Master Jingfa in Wild Grass City, there are so many women here, he can't control himself at all."
While talking, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao walked along the street road towards the central square, targeting the Hunter Guild.
Bai Chen and Long Yuehong ate breakfast slowly, not in a hurry to keep up.
After walking dozens of meters, Jiang Baimian saw a man wearing a wide-brimmed round hat hurriedly coming out of the alley.
Suddenly, she stretched out a hand, stopped Shang Jianyao, and set her sights on the opposite building.
Bang!
After a gunshot, the man wearing a wide-brimmed round hat just now fell to the ground, splashing red and white.
The entire street instantly fell into a freeze and lost its sound.
After a few seconds, screams and shouts rang out one after another, one after another.
The patrols of Weeds City with submachine guns hurriedly ran to the building where the bullets were fired.
They have posted on the street to prevent themselves from being shot.
"It's quite professional...... Jiang Baimian commented very calmly.
She had already noticed that the gunman was on the roof of the building.
Shang Jianyao sighed inexplicably:
"It's a pity......
"What's a pity?" Jiang Baimian asked with a slight confusion.
"If you break through another island, you should be able to make him unable to pull the trigger." Shang Jianyao replied quite regretfully.
Jiang Baimian looked at the width of South Street and the height of the building, nodded slightly and said:
"If the gunman is on the fourth floor of these rows, it's not impossible."
The width of South Street is about five or six meters, and the three-story building is almost ten meters high, counting the height of the window sill, and applying the Pythagorean theorem, it can be easily calculated that if the sniper is on the fourth floor and roughly parallel to the two of them, the straight-line distance from Shang Jianyao is between twelve and thirteen meters, which is just within the range of the awakened person's ability of "lack of movement of both hands".
And the fifth floor and rooftop are beyond the boundary.
Without waiting for Shang Jianyao's response, Jiang Baimian smiled thoughtfully:
"I neglected this ability a little before.
"In a city with many obstacles, in an environment dominated by street fighting, it should play a greater role than I expected."
Especially in places like Wild Grass City, where buildings are generally not high.
"It's a pity......" Shang Jianyao sighed again.
"Are you a pity that there are no enemies for you to try now?" Jiang Baimian asked quite understandingly.
"Hmm." Shang Jianyao nodded honestly.
Jiang Baimian didn't say anything about him, but reminded him seriously:
"This place is also suitable for most awakened people."
Here, the distance between people is significantly compressed by the building.
