After the sky gradually brightened, Han Wanghuo put away the walkie-talkie and looked at Shang Jianyao and others:
"They did retreat, and then leave some people to be responsible for vigilance and reconnaissance."
He meant that this war was temporarily over.
Although Jiang Baimian was wearing a mask, he still stretched out his hand to cover his mouth before yawning.
She put down the "Reaper" individual bazooka, stood up, and said with a smile:
"Then our employment contract is over?"
"If nothing else." Han Wanghuo replied very cautiously.
At this time, Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen also put away their weapons respectively.
Jiang Baimian smiled and said:
"We will stay in Redstone Market for a few more days, and remember to settle the final payment when the time comes."
This includes a military exoskeleton device and a week's worth of food for four people.
"No problem." Han Wanghuo answered without hesitation.
In his opinion, if it weren't for these four "mercenaries" in this war, Hongshiji would probably have suffered a catastrophe.
Of course, the premise is that when it comes to the most critical time, the vigilant sect will not be able to do anything.
Jiang Baimian glanced at Shang Jianyao, who was so quiet that he was a little weird, and turned back to Han Wanghuo and said:
"Then let's leave first, well, remember to inform us when those prisoners recover, I want to ask something."
Because a small number of wounded fell within the Redstone Gathering Line, there was no way to take them away when the Second Coalition retreated.
"Okay." Han Wang still has this power.
After leaving the defense line and coming to the parking place, Long Yuehong was a little dumbfounded.
Luck was not very good here, it seemed that it was swept away by artillery fire, and the glass of the earthy yellow all-terrain vehicle was shattered, and the tires were deflated.
The jeep of the "old tune group" is strong, and under the protection of thick armor, bulletproof glass, special tires and the vehicle next door, only a few traces have been obtained.
"This car can't be driven......" Jiang Baimian glanced at it and said happily, "Fortunately, it's not ours."
As she spoke, she walked to the jeep and opened the driver's door:
"Let me open it, Xiaobai stayed up all night, so you have to pay attention."
"Actually, it's okay." Under Jiang Baimian's insistence day after day, Bai Chen has fully accepted his nickname.
Shang Jianyao took the initiative to help Jiang Baimian "explain":
"She's still a little excited."
"Huh." Jiang Baimian let out a disdainful voice, "Are you alive? Why did you look so energetic just now, are you hungry?"
It's time for breakfast.
Shang Jianyao replied seriously:
"I'm thinking about it."
"What's the problem?" Jiang Baimian regretted it as soon as he said it.
She quickly sat down and started the car.
This failed to stop Shang Jianyao, he said in the back row:
"How to let the people of Hongshi Co., Ltd., fish people, and mountain monsters coexist peacefully."
「…… This is difficult." Jiang Baimian was stunned for a moment, then exhaled, "Even if you rely on the 'reasoning clown' to make them half-brothers and complete the circular argument, this effect will not last long, because you will eventually leave."
And if you don't rely on the ability of the Awakener, just look at the corpses and the dark blood that stained the ground red when cleaning the battlefield before, and think about how many similar things have happened in the past, you should understand that the difficulty of this matter breaks through the sky, and it takes at least a few generations of persistent efforts to resolve the hatred between each other.
Shang Jianyao listened quietly and sighed regretfully:
"It's a pity that I can't separate multiple 'I's', so leave one here."
Is your focus the same as what I want to say? Jiang Baimian was speechless.
The thinking angles of both sides are completely different from the same world.
Watching the jeep walk through the ruins of the city, listening to the conversation between the team leader and Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong took off his mask and said with a rather complicated expression:
"A mountain monster said something to me before he died."
"Huh?" Jiang Baimian made a sound in cooperation.
Long Yuehong truthfully told the mountain monster's answer when he was dying and his own feelings.
After listening carefully, Jiang Baimian said with a half-smile and half sigh:
"Have you come to appreciate the meaning of our work?
"Only by figuring out the cause can we find a more effective way to cure this fucking world!"
As she spoke, her emotions fluctuated a little uncontrollably.
Shang Jianyao immediately smiled and said:
"So, will you join me in saving all mankind in the future?"
Jiang Baimian laughed:
"How can you miss such a meaningful thing?
"When we investigate the causes of the destruction of the old world and find the pathogenesis and treatment of 'heartless disease', we will save the world!"
Long Yuehong smiled, and like Bai Chen, she didn't answer.
He felt that he could not afford such a thing yet.
What he wants to do most now is to make his life better.
After ending this topic, Jiang Baimian looked in the rearview mirror:
"Take out all the items on the Murloc Awakener, why didn't I feel right when I looked at it before?"
"You have to shout 'hello'." Shang Jianyao emphasized.
"Huh?" Jiang Baimian couldn't keep up with his thinking again.
Shang Jianyao explained seriously:
"Didn't you say it? His group nickname is Xiaohong, hers is Xiaobai, and mine is Hey."
"......" Jiang Baimian's expression under the mask changed again and again, angry and funny.
At this time, out of the corner of her eye, she saw that the side muscles of Bai Chen's face were faintly raised.
- Their masks are not fully wrapped, and part of their faces can be seen from the side.
"Are you laughing?" Jiang Baimian became angry with shame.
Bai Chen pursed his lips tightly, neither admitting nor denying it.
The atmosphere in the jeep was a little more cheerful, and Shang Jianyao immediately took out dried fruits, rhizomes of some kind of plants, poorly packaged green sugar, and a few thick needles.
"What is this?" Jiang Baimian glanced back.
Is this the item carried by a powerful awakener?
Bai Chen turned his body and studied for a while, saying:
"This should be dried plums."
She pointed to the black piece of dried fruit and said.
Of course, she didn't dare to taste the unknown things directly with her mouth, she just picked them up and sniffed them lightly.
Dried plums? Jiang Baimian suddenly felt an increase in saliva secretion in his mouth.
As for what plant rhizomes and green candies are, they will not be able to figure it out for a while.
In this way, they drove the jeep to the fortress-like vigilant church.
At this time, the warning Song He had already returned with the church armament.
Compared to the time of departure, this team had several fewer people.
"I heard that you solved the fish-man awakener?" Seeing the four familiar masks entering the hall, Song He, who had just finished saluting the "Yougu" symbol, asked.
Jiang Baimian, who had already answered this question for the third time, said "hmm" and nodded.
Song He sighed and said:
"If it weren't for you, I would have considered retreating to the church and letting Brand leave the room."
"I thought you were a hidden powerhouse." Shang Jianyao expressed regret.
Although I think so too, don't say it...... Jiang Baimian wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
Song He was stunned for a moment, but he was not angry, and smiled bitterly:
"I was afraid that the price would increase, so I never dared to continue to improve myself.
"Being able to obtain the gift of the year is already very satisfying for me, and I can't ask for more."
Fear...... He also mentioned before that people get older and more timid...... When Jiang Baimian was thinking, Shang Jianyao took out the pile of items on the fish-man awakener and sincerely asked for advice:
"Do you know them?"
"Where did this come from?" Song He took a few steps forward and began to observe carefully.
"That fish-man awakener." Shang Jianyao replied truthfully.
Song He became more focused, and after a while, he pointed to the poorly packaged green candies and said:
"This is the plum candy from 'United Industries', and the children like it very much."
In a large number of wilderness wanderer settlements, sugar is also a luxury.
Plum sugar? Jiang Baimian frowned slightly.
Song He continued to identify:
"This should be dried plums, this is a needle, there is nothing to say.
"This, this, this is a kind of grass and tree rhizome grown in the nearby mountains and forests, we call it 'eat for nothing', it is slightly toxic and can cause diarrhea, but it is very refreshing. When I was young, I followed them to hunt in the wild, and if I had to stay up late and wait, I would chew a piece when I was most sleepy."
"Eating for nothing" means eating for nothing, because it will soon be pulled out and even empty your inventory.
After Jiang Baimian listened, he looked at Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong and others:
"Plum sugar, umeboshi plums, refreshing plant rhizomes, thick and long needles, what can these indicate?"
Shang Jianyao immediately replied:
"I'm pregnant!"
"What does needle have to do with pregnancy? Also, which pregnant person eats something that can cause diarrhea?" Jiang Baimian couldn't understand Shang Jianyao's brain circuit.
Shang Jianyao explained seriously:
"Constipation is easy during pregnancy.
"Needles are used to sew children's clothes."
Jiang Baimian couldn't find Shang Jianyao's flaws for a while.
This is an official member of the "Sacrifice of Life" order.
"These should all be used to refresh the spirit." Bai Chen gave his thoughts at the right time, "Dried plums and plum sugar can give us a certain amount of stimulation, so that we can stay awake for a short time, and needles are also acceptable."
She once slapped herself several times in order to protect a prey, with the intention of preventing herself from falling asleep.
Jiang Baimian said "Hmm", glared at Shang Jianyao and said:
"That Murloc Awakened person carries so many similar things with him, which shows that he often needs to stay awake.
"The price he pays is that he is easily sleepy? Get tired easily?"
"Maybe that's true." Warning person Song He agreed.
Taking this opportunity, Jiang Baimian introduced the main topic:
"Warning Song, the fish-man awakener has a mutation after he passed out of a coma......"
She described the phenomenon of a strange aura coming out of the body and parasitic things wriggling under the skin after the fish-man awakened person fell into a coma, focusing on the fact that Shang Jianyao encountered an invisible barrier in the first few shots and failed to hit the target.
After listening to Song He Jingjing, he thought and said:
"Do you want to ask what is going on?"
Without waiting for Jiang Baimian to respond, he said hesitantly:
"I heard the man who led me to the church say that he is now a member of the Bishopric of Fear.
"He said that those powerful awakeners who explore the depths of the 'Mind Corridor' can leave their own breath in the 'Mind Corridor' and even in the real world, which can be combined with objects to produce wonderful and terrifying effects.
"I suspect that the Murloc Awakened person is combined with this breath, and he himself should not have entered the 'Spiritual Corridor' yet."
