Means, who was saved and recognized, had the intention of repaying him, and immediately said to Shang Jianyao:
"If you really want to join our 'Furnace Sect', then go to Tarnan by the way, and I will write a letter of trust for you to bring to His Excellency Li Zhe and tell him about your friendliness, sincerity and the help you provide."
Seeing that it was the place he was going to, Jiang Baimian didn't stop Shang Jianyao with his eyes and let him play.
"Okay, okay." Shang Jianyao agreed without hesitation.
While speaking, he even took out paper and pen, looking like "quickly, write now".
Meanings was a little confused for a moment, he wasn't saying polite words just now, but everyone seemed to have a serious exchange, how could he just write now?
Jiang Baimian resolved his embarrassment in time and asked instead:
"In addition to your 'Linhai Alliance', what other big forces are there in Tarnan?"
"No." Means replied almost without thinking, "Except for our neighborship with 'Mechanical Heaven', our relationship is good, and we have permission to settle in, other major forces either don't know about the existence of Tarnan at all, or can only trade through some small and medium-sized forces recognized by 'Mechanical Heaven'."
For example, the Red Stone Collection and the Weeds City, which is relatively special in the sphere of influence of the "First City"? Jiang Baimian has another understanding of the existence of the smuggling node of Hongshiji.
She smiled and said:
"'Mechanical Heaven' is still very careful."
"In fact, there is nothing special about Tarnan, except for robots, machinery, and electronic products." Meens didn't really understand why "Mechanical Heaven" did this.
At this time, a cold wind penetrated the valley, causing Means and several other members of the Ten Directions Trading Company to shiver.
Seeing this, Jiang Baimian said "Oh":
"Really, I came to communicate with you and forgot that you were all wearing only single clothes."
Their coats were taken away by robbers while they were captives.
After saying that, Jiang Baimian pointed to the side with his chin:
"Fortunately, there is no shortage of clothes and supplies.
"Well, if you bury the body casually, you will be paid."
This area is filled with many dead bandits.
As for those who were seriously injured and would not die for a while, the "old adjustment team" went all the way south, and the medical supplies began to be a little tight, so they were considered dead.
Means had the idea of hitting the corpse just now, but he was too embarrassed to speak.
According to the rules of the area between the "Mechanical Paradise" and the "Seaside Alliance", they are all trophies and can only be enjoyed by those who have contributed.
What he didn't expect was that the heroic and beautiful woman opposite was not only willing to use the clothes on the corpse to help herself and others, but also gave the robbers extra supplies that they didn't have time to take away when they fled in a hurry.
"This, this can't be done." Means hesitated for a moment, but still waved his hand.
This is not to say that he has high morals and is unwilling to take advantage of others, but that the team in front of him is strong, and if he and others offend a little and perform poorly, they may not be able to get out of this valley.
Jiang Baimian smiled:
"You're welcome.
"If you keep wearing like this, you will freeze to death tonight, and you have no food or vehicles, how will you leave after that?
"Uh, those machines are your goods, right?"
She was referring to the portable computers that filled one of the cars, thin, white or black, all shining with a glossy sheen.
"Yes." Means thought for a moment and said, "We are welcome to clothes, food and cars, there is really no way. You take those portable computers, even if it is our reward."
"That's too much." Jiang Baimian thought for a moment and said, "Let's follow the rules of the relic hunters, for such a task, we take about 30% of the materials.
She didn't deliberately show generosity, because Lehman might have to collect supplies in exchange for equipment in the future.
After fierce "bargaining", the reward was finally fixed at the figure of "40%".
At this point, Means breathed a sigh of relief and beckoned his companions to walk towards the corpses.
As soon as he bent down, he suddenly exclaimed:
"Just lost it? I really don't know how to cherish it!"
Shang Jianyao ran over and asked curiously:
"What is it?"
Means picked up a small blue cloth bag, the kind that could be held with one hand:
"My spice bag is full of good things!
"Except for our 'Seaside Alliance', where else can you find so many spices.
"Those robbers initially thought it contained gold, chips or high-performance batteries, so they took it directly."
Shang Jianyao asked with bright eyes:
"Do you use it when eating?"
"Yes, some are used to boil the bottom of the pot, some are used to mix dipping sauces, and everyone chooses different combinations according to their own preferences." Means replied in a slightly sacred tone.
Seeing that there was nothing going on here, Jiang Baimian set his sights on Long Yuehong:
"The exoskeleton device can be removed, and a normal level of vigilance is sufficient."
Save electricity!
There was not much sun today, and they had a spare battery ready to use on the jeep.
When Long Yuehong removed the exoskeleton device with the help of Shang Jianyao, Jiang Baimian walked next to Bai Chen and looked at the robbers squatting on the ground and said:
"Your bandit group is called 'Mountain Fox'?"
"Yes." "Yes." The robbers scrambled to answer.
"What is your boss's name?" Jiang Baimian picked up the "Reaper" bazooka with one hand, which made the robbers and Mills and others stunned.
This power is not exaggerated, but it looks very relaxed.
A yellow-haired robber came back to his senses and quickly said:
"Panania."
"Will he come back to redeem you?" Jiang Baimian smiled slightly.
Several robbers were silent for several seconds before answering unevenly:
"Yes."
"Maybe."
"Probably."
They have all seen many prisoners who have not been redeemed, and the end of those people is not very good: they are either killed directly to avoid wasting food, or they are carried as reserve food, or sold to human traffickers.
Jiang Baimian was noncommittal and asked instead:
"If you grab something, where will you go to trade?"
"If you can go to Tarnan, you will go to Tarnan, those robots are fair and trustworthy, and they will maintain order." The yellow-haired bandit answered in front of all his companions.
When Jiang Baimian asked for information, Long Yuehong finally removed the exoskeleton device and put it back in the back seat of the jeep.
Then, he and Shang Jianyao switched positions, one holding an assault rifle and responsible for guarding, and the other went to the creek to fetch water and burn them using solar charging panels.
After the water boiled, Long Yuehong anxiously but patiently waited until the water temperature dropped a lot before pouring them into the water bags of himself and others.
After doing these things, he picked up the water bag and drank it gurglingly.
At this moment, he felt that the water was so delicious and addictive.
After drinking half a bag in one go, Long Yuehong wiped her mouth with satisfaction and looked around.
At this time, Means and the others had buried their bodies, changed into the robbers' coats, and wrapped themselves thickly.
While cooking with coal and other materials left by the robbers, they felt Long Yuehong's gaze.
After bowing his head and communicating for a while, Means walked towards Jiang Baimian and the others, and said with a smile:
"Do you want to eat together?
"Those robbers left a sheep, some potatoes and a lot of ingredients."
The robbers came to this valley to prepare lunch.
Shang Jianyao first winked at Jiang Baimian, and then directly agreed:
"Okay."
"Just to see your sacrament." Jiang Baimian smiled.
Long Yuehong subconsciously raised her hand and wiped the corner of her mouth, but immediately remembered that she was not Shang Jianyao.
Next, Jiang Baimian and the others watched as Means and others skillfully shaved meat, took bones, boiled soup, and sprinkled different spices.
In the end, the rich fragrance lingered on the tip of their noses, and no matter how the cold wind in the valley blew, it did not dissipate.
Seeing that his companions had almost processed the ingredients, Means asked about the general taste of Shang Jianyao and the others, and took their lunch boxes, using soup as the base and pairing them with various carefully selected seasonings.
Not long after, Shang Jianyao picked up a thin piece of freshly blanched lamb, rolled it in his own dipping sauce, and sent it to his mouth.
「…… Okay, it's delicious......" he praised vaguely.
Long Yuehong's heart was pounding when she heard this, and she immediately wanted to pick up a piece of mutton and put it in the iron pot from the robber.
At this time, a female employee of Shifang Trading Company stuffed her freshly blanched mutton into Long Yuehong's bowl.
"You try." She said with a smile.
"No, no." Long Yuehong suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Although they were molested by robbers before, they quickly adjusted and were no longer depressed.
They found that after the savior like "God descended to earth" removed the external skeletal device, he was a young man, not short, with a clean face, and a direct affection for him, so they took advantage of the preparation of lunch and looked for various opportunities to strike up a conversation with Long Yuehong.
The more enthusiastic they were, the more restrained Long Yuehong became, and even wanted to ask why they didn't go to Shang Jianyao.
——At that time, Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian were both seriously learning hot pot techniques from Means without squinting.
The meat had already arrived in the bowl, Long Yuehong couldn't refuse, and after dipping some dipping sauce, she stuffed the piece of mutton into her mouth.
The tenderness of the meat, the saltiness of the salt, and the wonderful feeling of mixing various spices instantly exploded in Long Yuehong's mouth, making him can't help but gobble it up.
This lunch was enjoyed by the guests and hosts, and Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen admired the soft and glutinous potato slices cooked the most.
During this process, they also chatted with Means and others about the "Seaside Alliance" and learned that the materials of this large force were relatively sufficient, although the people at the bottom were still difficult, only better than the wilderness wanderers in small settlements, but the middle class had begun to pay attention to food and clothing.
After the meal, they couldn't restrain their gratitude, and walked to the open space by the stream one after another, dancing a dance praising the year.
"It's quite pious......" As soon as Jiang Baimian laughed, he found that Shang Jianyao had mixed in at some point, dancing well.
