"This is?" Next to the milky white speedboat, Jiang Baimian saw the members of the town guard who followed Han Wanghuo pushing four bicycles over.
Han Wanghuo looked at the lake stained with golden sunlight, took a breath of the cold winter wind, and said with a smile:
"On the island, there is still a long way to the temple, and wasting time on the road is not a wise thing.
"A few people from our town guard have put together and plan to borrow a few more bicycles from you as transportation."
Obviously, a small and rudimentary speedboat cannot carry a car.
Shang Jianyao was deeply moved when he heard this, and seemed to shout "brother" at any time, Jiang Baimian rushed before him, pinched the mask on his face, and said with a smile:
"You are rarely so generous."
Han Wanghuo said frankly:
"We also hope to figure out the matter of the sleeping 'god' as soon as possible, otherwise, from time to time a powerful awakener like that day appears among the fishmen, we will be in trouble.
"At that time, the only hope can only be pinned on the fact that 'Yougu' really protects the Red Stone Collection, and the vigilant sect is willing to send a fearful bishop over."
Jiang Baimian expressed his understanding of their vigilance against hidden diseases:
"Yes."
Han Wanghuo immediately pointed to the four bicycle lanes:
"These are all new products of 'United Industries' and have not been used for a year.
"You see, they all have rear seats, imitating the style of the early Old World, hehe, I've always wondered why bicycles in the Old World can't carry people later, isn't this a waste? The practicality is not high at all."
Jiang Baimian had never studied this issue, so it was not easy to agree casually, so he could only think about it and said:
"Since there are back seats, two are enough, otherwise the speedboat will be very crowded."
Han Wanghuo had no objection to this, and mentioned another sentence while chatting:
"Previously, the smuggler of 'United Industries' also sold us something called an electric balance bike, which was very small and easy to carry, but he didn't look at the road conditions in the ruins, and people flew out accidentally.
"The fish-man captive said that the road on the island is well preserved and should be quite suitable for electric balance bikes, but unfortunately, we didn't buy them at that time."
Jiang Baimian smiled and suddenly said:
"Team Han, you seem to be talking more than before?"
Han Wanghuo was stunned for a moment, and said with a self-deprecating smile:
"Maybe it's because you have shown great strength and want to please you."
After chatting for a few more words, Shang Jianyao and Bai Chen each pushed a bicycle to the speedboat, while Long Yuehong worked hard to carry the crate for the exoskeleton device.
——In order to save electricity, he didn't put it on now.
Jiang Baimian was the last to jump on the speedboat and waved to Han Wanghuo and others in the sound of the engine.
After more than ten seconds, the milky white yacht sailed into the endless Lake Nu, dragging a long trail on the surface of the water covered with golden scales.
The wind on the lake was obviously colder, causing Long Yuehong to shrink back.
He looked around and saw that there was only one line left on the shore, and the islands lurked deep in the lake like monsters.
"Team leader, why don't we come at night? It's broad daylight, and it's still afternoon, won't it be too conspicuous? This is easy for the fishman to discover......" Long Yuehong asked without understanding.
The similar actions he imagined were all chosen on a dark and windy night.
Jiang Baimian laughed and looked at Shang Jianyao, who was squatting on the edge of the speedboat and wanted to reach out to catch fish, and said:
"Explain it to Xiaohong."
She paused and added another word:
"Hey."
Shang Jianyao turned around, wearing a monkey mask with a vivid spirit, and asked Long Yuehong a question:
"Do you recognize the way?"
"What road?" Long Yuehong didn't react for a moment.
"The way to the island in the middle of the lake." Bai Chen reminded.
"I don't know." Long Yuehong subconsciously replied, and then suddenly realized, "At night, we can't find that island at all?"
Jiang Baimian observed the "landmarks" given by Han Wang and the others to determine whether the route was wrong, and nodded and said:
"Yes.
"During the day, we can also use maps, descriptions, and comparisons of the surroundings to get to that island along a predetermined route.
"At night, don't talk about us, if Han Wang gets them, they won't be able to find the north."
The lake area is a place where the fishmen have the absolute upper hand, and the people of Redstone Market are not deeply involved.
And this speedboat is very rudimentary and has no so-called intelligent navigation.
"Besides, if you are a fish-man, when are you most vigilant?" Jiang Baimian continued, "It must be late at night, and I am worried that the people of Hongshiji will take advantage of the night to cover up and sneak attacks, and they will relax a little during the day. Lake Nu is so big, as long as we don't move to the main area where the fishmen are active, there should be no danger before we get close to that island."
Long Yuehong listened carefully and summed up a sentence:
"Specific situation analysis."
After the speedboat circled westward for a long time, it gradually penetrated deep into Nuhu Lake.
As time passed, the sunlight was no longer so bright.
After an unknown amount of time, Shang Jianyao and the others saw a large island.
In the center of the island, there is a mountain peak standing like a boundary marker.
"It's almost here." Jiang Baimian compared the description of the characteristics of the island in the center of the lake given by Hongshi Ji and determined that the goal was just around the corner.
Bai Chen slightly adjusted the course of the speedboat to ensure that there was no deviation at all.
The wind in the lake was blowing, causing their hair to fly and their clothes to shake.
Finally, they approached the island and found a somewhat dilapidated pier, not far from the pier, with a small river gurgling.
At this moment, Shang Jianyao stood up, bent over, and looked at the water on the left with some excitement.
He then spoke:
"Human consciousness, three."
"It seems to be a fishman." Jiang Baimian had already discovered it, but he couldn't tell whether it was a large fish for a while.
"What should I do?" Long Yuehong's heart tightened at first, and then made a suggestion, "Hurry up and dock?"
As long as he doesn't clash with the fishman on the water, he is fearless.
"They came over, very fast." Jiang Baimian said calmly, "It seems that the fishermen have not completely given up on this island, and will send people over from time to time to check the situation."
At this time, Shang Jianyao took a forward posture of jumping into the water.
Bai Chen maneuvered the speedboat and pulled out a "United 202" and tried to shoot into the water, but she couldn't find where the fishman was at all while the lake was shaking.
Long Yuehong was the same, and even had a strange thought:
"I don't know how waterproof the exoskeleton device is......"
Jiang Baimian broadcast the movements of the fishmen:
"They dived a little deep and looked like they wanted to sabotage the bottom of our boat."
She stepped on the wooden deck and said to Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen:
"Get off the side of the boat and do not touch anything except the planks.
"There is no need to go into the water to fight with the fishmen, it's not cost-effective."
Shang Jianyao sighed and retracted his body.
When several members of the "Old Tune Group" stepped on the wooden planks, Jiang Baimian squatted down and pressed his left hand towards the lake.
The next second, the side of the boat suddenly brightened, as if it had returned to the sunniest noon.
Countless silver and white electric snakes erupted, jumping down the lake.
This lasted for more than ten seconds, and several fish turned their bellies and floated up.
Further outside, the three fishmen also approached the surface of the water and swam frantically into the distance.
Their bodies were twitching uncontrollably, their eyes were extremely blank, and they didn't know what was going on.
Jiang Baimian accepted it when he saw it and no longer released high-voltage current.
She still had to leave part of it for exploring the temple.
Taking advantage of the fishman's distance, Bai Chen drove the speedboat to the pier and tied it to a stake.
Jiang Baimian jumped off the speedboat, looked around, and was about to speak when he saw Shang Jianyao jump out, rush to the nearby river, and pick up a rusty metal sign.
This card has six large characters written in Grey language:
"Electric fish are prohibited here!"
Jiang Baimian was stunned for a moment.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Long Yuehong and Bai Chen who had taken off their masks pursed their lips tightly, their bodies trembling slightly, as if they were holding back their laughter very hard.
"Fishmen are not fish!" Jiang Baimian defended himself.
As soon as she finished speaking, she also laughed, and the pier was filled with a happy atmosphere.
This is a wonderful coincidence.
After Bai Chen moved the two bicycles to the pier, Long Yuehong put on the exoskeleton device with the help of Shang Jianyao, Jiang Baimian put away his smile and ordered solemnly:
"Xiaobai, Xiaohong, you stay here, one is to prevent the fishmen from coming again and destroy the speedboat, and the other is to be a reserve.
"I don't know what's going on in the temple, what should I do if we go in together and the group is destroyed? You stay here, what's really going on, we can still expect rescue and support, well, pay attention to my flares, and if we run out, you will come and look for it immediately.
"If you finally find out that something can't be done, go back and notify the company."
This is a normal division of labor in the team, and retaining the manpower to respond is also one of the effective measures similar to the exploration, Bai Chen has no objection.
Long Yuehong naturally would not object.
Jiang Baimian immediately put on the "Tyrant" grenade gun and the "Berserker" assault rifle, helped the bicycle over, turned over and sat down.
Then, she subconsciously tilted her head, glanced at Shang Jianyao, and found that this guy was ready.
The only problem is that Shang Jianyao, who is wearing gray camouflage, black leather boots, assault rifles, and "ice moss" and "United 202" at his waist, does not match the behavior of "riding a bicycle", which is inexplicably funny.
Thinking of himself as well, Jiang Baimian was amused for a while and couldn't help but say:
"Armed to the teeth, ready to explore the unknown, we actually went by bicycle...... It feels weird."
Shang Jianyao thought for a while and replied to her:
"At least not driving a tractor."
「…… too." Jiang Baimian imagined the scene and decided to accept the current conditions.
Then, the two of them hummed and pedaled on their pedals, fully armed, riding their bicycles in the direction of the temple.
