"Are you going to deliver arms to the town guard?"
The warning Song He was a little surprised after listening to Jiang Baimian's words.
His room was very simple, about the same size as Shang Jianyao and the others lived in the hotel camp, with no extra furniture, only a bed, a few chairs, a set of cabinets, a bookshelf and a table with paper and pens.
The most representative of his clergy characteristics is that on the wall opposite the bed, the sacred emblem of "Yougu" is depicted - the white door is half-closed, and the back is dark, as if a female figure is looming.
This layout made Long Yuehong's scalp tingle a little, because he couldn't help but imagine the scene when he was sleeping:
The year is hidden in the darkness, quietly watching you.
Fortunately, the holy emblem was on the opposite wall and didn't touch the ceiling, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep at all! Long Yuehong muttered secretly, and Shang Jianyao replied instead of Jiang Baimian:
"It's not a gift, it's a sale."
Song He understood what he meant, didn't think it was offended, and said with a smile:
"What I mean by sending is escorting, not giving."
"I understood wrong." When Shang saw that Yao was wrong, he admitted it.
Even without wearing a mask, he doesn't care about that.
Song He, who was wearing a black robe, immediately nodded and sighed lightly:
"No matter what, I can feel your kindness.
"I would like to thank you in advance for the townspeople of Hongshiji."
He didn't say anything more, and said directly:
"Judging from the current situation, the fishmen and mountain monsters are trying to break through from the southeast direction of the ruins, and Han Wanghuo should have organized most of the members of the town guard to reinforce them."
As he spoke, he walked to the desk, took out a map, and unfolded it:
"Han Wanghuo's plan is: to set up a new defense line in the area of Aier Supermarket and the Sixth Day Shopping Mall to block the enemy.
"A large area here is severely damaged, and many buildings have collapsed.
After listening quietly, Jiang Baimian reminded:
"Mountain monsters are good at climbing cliffs, and this terrain can't stop them."
"Yes, Han Wanghuo has taken this into account, and he wants to use this to set a trap." Song He said this is indeed a problem.
Jiang Baimian turned to look at the surface of the desk:
"Is this a map left over from the old world?"
The urban layout is very clear.
Song He said "hmm":
"When I first came to Hongshiji, what I found was a tourist map of the city itself. You see, the park where the town is located is called Red Rock Park in the old world, which is why it is named Red Stone Collection."
"'Why' is a sick sentence." Shang Jianyao pointed out.
Song He laughed dumbly:
"I'm used to saying that."
Jiang Baimian looked at the map and asked curiously:
"You have made a lot of annotations."
There are many markers on the map, some are red crosses, some are black circles, and various symbols are different.
The blank space next to it has the corresponding meanings of different symbols.
"I marked out which buildings have collapsed and which roads are impassable." The old man who had been in the Red Stone Collection for forty or fifty years suddenly felt a little melancholic, "When there are more and more marks, and then look at the original map, I really feel that it is difficult to write again."
He withdrew his gaze and sighed,
"My parents were remnants of the Old World, but neither of them lived through the war.
"They once taught me a word called 'vicissitudes of life', and I could understand the meaning, but I didn't understand it deeply, until I started making these maps and doing field surveys......"
Jiang Baimian pursed his lips and laughed at himself:
"I asked so much just now to borrow this map from you, but now I can't open my mouth."
Song He was stunned for a moment, and laughed:
"Take it, I don't just have one."
"Huh?" Jiang Baimian was a little stunned.
Song He explained casually:
"I don't make maps purely for myself, sometimes the townspeople also need this thing."
Jiang Baimian suddenly realized:
"Then I'm welcome."
How polite are you...... Long Yue scolded the team leader, but he didn't dare to say it.
Shang Jianyao looked at Song He and said sincerely:
"Thank you."
Seeing that they had put away the map, Song He smiled and said:
"If the enemy attacks fiercely, you don't need to hold out and evacuate as soon as possible.
"Don't worry, the town guard will do the same."
Long Yuehong was surprised for a while, and Jiang Baimian asked thoughtfully:
"Fishmen and mountain monsters attack the Red Stone Collection, what do they want to achieve?"
Song He glanced at her appreciatively:
"They want to destroy the town, kill all the local humans, or drive all humans out of this ruins and occupy this place."
"That's right......" Jiang Baimian didn't ask any more.
Song He added:
"Once the fishmen and mountain monsters break through the defense line, they will definitely go to the Red Stone Collection first and destroy it.
"Destroy it, there are not many supplies there, and there are no people living there at night, and after repelling the fishmen and mountain monsters, there are still several underground shopping malls and air-raid shelters in the ruins that can be used to rebuild the town.
"Everyone, hehe, we are used to hiding, and it is not so easy to find our own people, let alone fishmen and mountain monsters? At that time, you can rely on your familiarity with the environment, and in groups of seven or eight, take turns attacking the enemy, making them tired of dealing with it.
"Unless the fishmen and mountain monsters can quickly destroy the entire ruins, they will not be able to solve this problem in a short time."
Hearing Song He's words, Long Yuehong was surprised at first, and then completely figured out one thing - why the townspeople of Hongshiji admire and love to hide so much, even if the "peek-a-boo ceremony" seems so ridiculous, it does not affect their piety.
This is indeed one of their skills to settle down!
When listening to Jiang Baimian's analysis before, Long Yuehong initially understood the folklore here and knew its inevitability.
Now, the attacks of the second people have made the reasons behind folklore nakedly revealed, and there is no need for additional scrutiny:
As long as you hide well, you can escape the attack, you can find an opportunity to fight back against the enemy, and you can have the last laugh.
When the ruins of the city are very large and the number of enemies and friends is small, this is one of the best ways to deal with the invasion!
At this moment, Long Yuehong remembered some of the words that the team leader had said:
Behind all the absurdity, there is a practical factor.
…………
In the southeast corner of the city ruins, Tan Tianen, Gaudí and Scheele hid behind a collapsed building, listening to the fishmen and mountain monsters not far away communicating in strange languages that blended various dialects, and listening to them walking this way step by step.
After they escaped from the crumbling high-rise building that was bombarded by artillery fire, they thought they could rely on their familiarity with the terrain to distance themselves and return to the predetermined defense line, but as a result, those fishmen and mountain monsters seemed to know which area they were hiding in and where they were going to pass by, and they actually blocked them here.
Seeing that the enemy was getting closer and closer, Tan Tianen pressed his throat and said:
"It can't go on like this."
This time, he used the Red River language.
Gaudí was silent for a moment and said:
"It's a bit strange, I have to report this situation back."
Out of vigilance, they did not let "Mechanical Paradise" come to Redstone to collect local base stations, and could only rely on walkie-talkies to communicate with each other remotely.
And now, the distance between them and Al Supermarket and Sixth Day Shopping Mall has significantly exceeded the corresponding range.
After hearing this, Scheele gritted his teeth and said:
"Pull someone to lure them away, and the other two go to the parking place."
With the car, they can quickly distance themselves and return to the area of Al Supermarket and Sixth Day Shopping Mall.
"Okay." Gaudí took out a silver coin from the "First City", "Everyone throws it once, and whoever is different will go out."
This made Scheler suddenly feel a little dazed and remembered a lot of past events.
——Be wary of the sect organizing children of about the same age to play together and develop the ability to hide until they reach adulthood, and it is often such a coin that is used to decide who finds and who hides.
"I'll go first." Tan Tianen took the silver coin, threw it casually, and then put it directly into his pocket.
He said in a deep voice:
"I lost."
"Heaven's grace?" Gaudí blurted out in astonishment.
Scherer's eyes widened in surprise, as if he was knowing Tan Tianen for the first time.
Tan Tianen looked sideways at them, took a breath and said:
"After I rush out, you will immediately run in the opposite direction."
Speaking of this, his eyes fell on Scherer's face, with a straight face, and he roared lowly:
"Who told me to like your sister!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around, picked up his automatic rifle, and rushed out from the hidden place.
Da Da Da Da! He shot as he shifted in the other direction.
Even though it was bait, he tried hard to survive.
When Gaudí and Scheller saw this scene, they didn't care about the emotional agitation in their hearts, bent over, and ran towards the place where they parked with the help of cover.
Da Da Da Da!
Tan Tianen was about to roll over and enter the building opposite, when everything he saw in front of him suddenly "pulled away" from the real world.
This is just like how he felt when he almost drowned when he learned to swim before, the scene in front of him degenerated into a swaying picture, and the surrounding sounds seemed to come from the sky.
Tan Tianen's thoughts gradually diverged, and the whole person seemed to be slowly sinking into the water, unable to breathe anymore.
Before his eyes turned to darkness, he saw a fish-man.
This fishman was very tall, his eyes were not so protruding, he was wearing a laurel crown made of branches on top of his head, and the gray-black scales on his body surface seemed to be flowing with water under the moonlight.
…………
After leaving the vigilant church and loading the batch of arms onto the earth-yellow all-terrain vehicle, Jiang Baimian thought about it and said with his full name:
"Long Yuehong, you and Shang Jianyao drive a jeep."
This time, instead of stuffing the passenger seat of the ATV with the passenger seat, she transferred the corresponding box to the back seat of the Jeep.
"Yes, team leader!" Long Yuehong didn't ask why, but Shang Jianyao couldn't wait to open the jeep door.
Jiang Baimian turned to Bai Chen beside him and said:
"You come to drive, I will monitor the surroundings."
Because she still had to observe movements outside the sensory range, she had to stay attentive as much as possible.
"Okay." Bai Chen took the gun and sat in the driver's seat of the ATV.
Jiang Baimian followed into the car, took out the walkie-talkie and said:
"Now you can turn on the lights to illuminate the road, and when you are close to the battle area, listen to my command.
"Let's go!"
