The man who was pointed at the forehead by Shang Jianyao with a pistol seemed to be a mixture of the two major races of gray earth and red river, with black hair and brown eyes, a high nose bridge, and deep eye sockets.
He was dressed in gray clothes, very similar to his surroundings, as if he could blend in at any time.
Hearing Shang Jianyao's rhetorical question, he was a little angry and emphasized:
"This world is very dangerous, even the once strong human civilization can't resist, let alone us now?
"If we hadn't been vigilant all the time and knew how to hide ourselves, we would have been destroyed long ago."
Jiang Baimian had already come over, stopped Shang Jianyao from digging into the roots, and asked instead:
"Are you from the Red Stone Collection?"
"Yes." The man replied affirmatively, and then said, "But please don't believe blindly and be vigilant."
Jiang Baimian, who was still hearing others say this for the first time, was slightly amused, nodded slightly and said:
"We have always been vigilant.
"By the way, where is the Red Stone Collection?"
"Somewhere in this ruin." The man looked at the lobby area of the building, "Since I have been found by you and I have not been able to hide, then I will take you there."
"Okay, what do you call it?" Jiang Baimian can also be regarded as a bold artist.
"My name is Gaudí." The man said casually, "This may also be a pseudonym, please don't believe it blindly."
Shang Jianyao next to him looked excited when he heard this, as if he had learned another trick.
He took back the "ice moss" and said seriously:
"Lead the way, when you arrive at the Red Stone Collection, I promise to return your freedom.
"This may be a lie, please don't believe it blindly."
Gaudí nodded approvingly and took a few steps towards the hall:
"Distance is our best friend."
After leaving this building, Shang Jianyao asked him to get into the jeep and sit in the middle of the back row, responsible for guiding the way.
This time, it was Bai Chen who drove.
In the gap between the vehicle, Jiang Baimian asked without hesitation:
"What sect do you believe in?"
"Be wary of sects." Gaudí replied in a very fluent grey language, "But you ......."
"Stop! We have already remembered." Jiang Baimian interrupted the other party's repetition and asked with a smile, "Who is this believer, and what does the doctrine look like? We are a little interested."
"What is the sacrament?" Shang Jianyao on the other side added a question.
Gaudí's expression became quite pious:
"We believe in the 'Yougu' in October.
"Before the destruction of the Old World, He was widely worshipped among the people in some places.
"The reason why we are called the Vigilance Sect is because Yougu told us that the world is dangerous, vigilance is everyone's most important instinct, and it is difficult for people without vigilance to survive all kinds of disasters after the destruction of the old world and wait for the new world to come.
"Vigilance is God's prompting."
Speaking of this, Gaudí raised his hands, crossed them on his chest, and took a very defensive posture.
"And then?" Shang Jianyao urged.
Gaudí looked sideways at him:
"We don't have the sacrament. Do you dare to drink water and food that you don't prepare yourself?
"When we attend Mass and other ceremonies, we bring our own water and our own dishes."
"Really vigilant." Jiang Baimian commented, and glanced at Shang Jianyao a little gloating.
Shang Jianyao exhaled regretfully:
"We have no fate."
When Gaudí was at a loss, Jiang Baimian asked another question:
"You Red Stone Collection are all wary of sect people?"
"Almost, only a few are not, and outsiders like you are not." Gaudí said proudly, "Since the establishment of the Red Stone Collection, it has been frequently attacked, bringing a lot of casualties each time. At that time, there were many people from various denominations who came to preach, and everyone had mixed beliefs, but gradually, we found that the doctrines and ideas of vigilant sects were the most effective, and "Yougu" was the most compassionate to the world. After that, everyone spontaneously switched to the vigilant sect, and the number of attacks here decreased significantly, as did the casualties."
It is possible that after the initial restoration of order on the gray soil and the situation begins to stabilize, "United Industries" needs such a smuggling node to complete some inconvenient things on the surface...... Jiang Baimian found another explanation in his heart.
But when she was unfamiliar with the place, she could not refute Gaudí with this.
She is not Shang Jianyao.
According to Gaudí's "command", the jeep bypassed a badly damaged neighborhood and entered a fairly open area with many evergreen trees.
"Is this an old world park?" Jiang Baimian made a guess based on the knowledge he had.
"Almost, that's what we think." Gaudí wanted to add another idiom, but there was already an intersection ahead.
He had to start "conducting":
"To the right, to the end."
Soon, Bai Chen drove the jeep to a small hill.
There is a large hole in the hole that can allow four cars to enter and exit.
The road to the underground is well preserved and has a very neat surface.
"The red stones are gathered underground......" Long Yuehong suddenly realized.
He is familiar with this.
As soon as he finished speaking, gun barrels drilled out of the holes on the cliffs on both sides of the cave entrance, and there seemed to be artillery aimed outward in the cave.
"I'll go down and say hello." Gaudí said.
Jiang Baimian ordered Bai Chen to push the jeep backwards for a while, away from the possible fire trajectory of the artillery, and then opened the door for Gaudí to get out of the car.
"Yes, very vigilant." Gao Di praised.
He took a few steps forward, waved his hand, and took back the outstretched barrel and the turned gun.
Bai Chen then drove the jeep, picked him up, entered the cave, and coiled down the damp road.
It didn't take long for them to see the parking lot.
"Find the closest place to Hongshiji to park." Jiang Baimian looked around, remembering the terrain.
"Everyone stopped there." Gaudí said that people who are wary of sects think the same way.
They were ready to rush out of the Red Stone Market and escape by car at any time.
"The hero sees the same thing." Jiang Baimian responded with a smile, "Then find an empty seat nearby."
After some searching, they parked the car and passed through two wooden doors in a row, and saw the appearance of the Red Stone Collection.
It seems to be a replica of some of the building patterns outside, but it has been moved underground.
At the bottom is a plaza, which can be seen directly from the top floor where the "Old Tune Group" is located.
The square is surrounded by a circle of floors that are visible to the naked eye by escalators.
These floors are brightly lit, separated by shops, some with signs saying "Arms Trade", and some with "Offshore Oil Company Office in Redstone".
At a glance, Long Yuehong found that almost everything was sold here, and it was even more naked than the underground trading market in Wild Grass City.
The only downside was that there were no samples displayed, just tables, chairs, and cabinets, and there were no people inside!
"If you want to trade in Redstone Collection, you must first find the boss who is hiding." As Gaudí introduced, he took out a cloth mask from his pocket, unfolded it, and put it on his face.
This made him look quite "fierce".
"It's interesting." Shang Jianyao's eyes were extremely bright.
Before Jiang Baimian stopped him, he ran a few steps to the nearest store - "Golden River Tea".
Then, he knocked on the wooden cabinet at the door a few times.
"You lost!" After saying that, he ran back to Jiang Baimian's side.
After a few seconds, the door of the wooden cabinet slowly opened, and a middle-aged man with a maximum height of 1.6 meters came out.
He touched the black beard on his chin and looked around the store blankly, not finding the person who found him.
"This is the custom of the Red Stone Collection?" Jiang Baimian smiled and withdrew his gaze, and said to Gaudí, "Take us to the hunter guild here first."
"It's at the bottom." Gaudí took the lead in walking to the escalator next to him.
As the escalator slowly descended, Jiang Baimian asked thoughtfully:
"What do you rely on to generate electricity here?"
"Diesel generators, solar charging panels, hydroelectric units, these are all in use." Gaudí replied casually.
At this time, Shang Jianyao interjected and asked:
"What does your Mass look like? Is it better to hide than whom?"
He looked enthusiastic.
Gaudí nodded:
"This is one of the ways.
"In the previous Mass, I was the tenth from the bottom to be found."
Is the co-authorship really a peek-a-boo religion...... Jiang Baimian scolded.
Shang Jianyao asked:
"Then who is the first?"
"Vier." Gaudí said with great admiration, "He has not been found yet."
「…… When did you hold this Mass?" Jiang Baimian was stunned for a moment.
Gaudí replied with some confusion:
"Just three days ago."
"That's okay......" Jiang Baimian breathed a sigh of relief.
Otherwise, she would think that the Vieer was gone.
As a researcher who has read a lot of books from the old world, she will inevitably think of some more evil rituals, where everyone has to work hard to keep themselves from being found, and those who support themselves will receive the grace of the year in the end and enter the new world directly.
This is equivalent to human sacrifice in disguise.
In the empty underground building with almost no people coming and going, their group seemed to be the only remaining creatures, but when they came to the bottom floor and saw the sign of the "Hunter's Guild", they still found someone else.
This "hunter guild" is not big, not even one-tenth of the same as the weed city.
It also doesn't have that many tech gadgets, just a large screen and a row of service windows.
The clerks behind the window all wore different masks, some were rabbits, some were clowns, some were tigers, and some were paper bags poking holes.
"No way, the Hunter Guild does not allow clerks to hide, everyone can only wear masks to hide their true appearance." Gaudí introduced.
Jiang Baimian sincerely praised:
"It's good."
Although it was relatively easy for her and Shang Jianyao to find someone, who would want to cause trouble for themselves?
Unless you're having a good time.
They quickly entered the hunter's guild and came to one of the windows.
The clerk wearing the tiger mask immediately said:
"The tasks are displayed on the screen, and the records on the table are also very neat.
"If you can't read, you can find the 'guide', and they will hide somewhere nearby."
