Chapter 245 New "Island"
Because they had just enjoyed a "big meal" at noon, the "old tune group" casually ate canned food, energy bars, and compressed biscuits in the evening, without tossing and turning hunting or cooking.
Moreover, in the mountains in winter, beasts are not so easy to find.
"Does anyone know about this place?" Jiang Baimian sat by the fire and asked Jorgensen, who was trying to act as a "servant army".
Jorgensen glanced at his companions who were taking turns around him, and smiled flatteringly:
"This is the last clean water source to leave Qilar Mountain to the southwest, if it weren't for winter, there would definitely be various caravans and various relic hunter teams camping here, and if you are not careful, you will encounter other humans."
He paused for a moment and added:
"We like to ambush nearby, and when we encounter people with a lot of firepower and strong firepower, we pretend not to see it, if it's a small team of four or five, uh, five or six people, we will rush out to grab a wave.
"Without this kind of fixed income, our boss can't afford to raise so many people."
At this time, the robber with a scar on his face interjected:
"Later, those small caravans and small ruins hunter teams became proficient, and as long as they wanted to get water, they would gather a large group of people over.
"Hey, there are also relics-hunters who are specially invited to exterminate us. Sometimes, we are forced to dare not ambush in these places, and there are no meals, so we can only barely survive on the fields cultivated in the mountains."
Seeing that this guy seemed to want to grab his role and replace his place, Jorgensen glanced at him angrily and took the initiative to say:
"Don't listen to his nonsense, the Chiral Mountains are the main trade route from the 'Seaside Alliance' to Tarnan, and what you grab can be easily exchanged for food in Tarnan.
"Those rotten fields in the mountains are mainly used to pass the time for the mothers-in-law at home."
What makes her feel funny is that Jorgensen is obviously a Honghe person, but when he opens his mouth and shuts up, he uses words like "mother-in-law" and "ghost".
Robbers also have objects...... Long Yuehong sighed silently next to him.
Shang Jianyao asked:
"How is the harvest?"
"Huh?" Jorgensen didn't expect the other party to care about this issue.
This made him feel like two farmers were squatting at the door and chatting.
If the other person still has their hands in their sleeves, it will be even more similar.
Jiang Baimian didn't know where Shang Jianyao learned the old farmer's tone, so he funnily skipped this topic:
"Tonight, you two will be on duty in pairs.
"So do we."
She did not let Long Yuehong and others give up the habit they had developed for a long time because of the existence of the "servant army".
At this moment, Shang Jianyao and Bai Chen simultaneously set their sights on the entrance of this water source.
——This is a relatively closed valley, with clear water flowing down the rock wall, injecting into a quiet pool of water, and there is only one road around it that can drive cars in.
Of course, if you don't drive, there are still plenty of paths to get out of.
It didn't take long for a dark blue mountain bike with steel plates to drive in, with a taller chassis, larger tires and a burly figure.
"Handsome!" Shang Jianyao whistled.
This is not a great beauty, but a handsome guy.
——He was able to react before Jiang Baimian, not because the range of influence had increased, but because he heard the roar of the engine.
As soon as the mountain bike drove into the valley, it found a vehicle parked on the other side of the pool and a freshly set up tent.
Its speed suddenly slowed down, and the people inside seemed to pick up their weapons and put on guard.
The mountain car slowly drove to the farthest place from Shang Jianyao and the others, looking at them across a not small pool.
The people in the car seemed to be natural and calm, but in fact they got out of the car carefully, a combination of three men and one woman.
One of them was in charge of fetching water, the other was looking for firewood, and the two stood beside the mountain bike, watching the "old tune team" and their "servant army" vigilantly.
——This can be distinguished at a glance from the appearance, the four robbers of Jorgensen are all crooked, full of bandits, and look timid in their actions.
Jiang Baimian and the others swept over at a glance and left an extremely deep impression on one of them.
He stood next to the front cover of the car, taller than Jiang Baimian, only a little shorter than Shang Jianyao, and the small half of his head on the right side shone with a silver-white metallic luster, as if it had been repaired with synthetic materials.
There was also an irregular shrapnel embedded in the left corner of his forehead, which was not removed for some reason, but the protruding part was smoothed out.
The man was wearing a black coat, carrying a straight knife cross-body and holding a streamlined pistol in his palm.
His black hair was extremely short, his right eye seemed to have been altered, his iris reflected a peculiar purple-red color, and he had an inconspicuous tear mole under his left eye.
"Mechanical modification?" Long Yuehong asked Shang Jianyao in a low voice.
Shang Jianyao said "Hmm" and replied solemnly:
"For the time being, I can only see the transformation, but I haven't found any machinery."
Not all metals can be called mechanical.
The person in charge of fetching water on the opposite side was a twenty-seven or eight-year-old woman, with long straight black hair, a gentle and intellectual temperament, not like a relic hunter who had been adventuring outside for a long time.
Antiquarian? Historical researcher? Natural scientists? She hired a relatively powerful team of relic hunters to protect herself and go deep into the mountains of Chiral? When Jiang Baimian retracted his gaze, speculation flashed through his heart.
The relic hunter team over there didn't seem to have any idea of coming over to communicate, and Jiang Baimian didn't send Shang Jianyao to stimulate each other, and the two sides were wary of each other and maintained a state of peace.
This is the norm when caravans and relic hunter teams meet at water sources, everyone has no relatives, no common language, and no need to communicate at all, unless they all gather for one thing, or someone is in a hurry to ask for directions and inquire about news.
After the fire was lit on the opposite side and dinner was finished, Jiang Baimian arranged for Long Yuehong and Bai Chen to take turns first, and he and Shang Jianyao were responsible for the most dangerous and easy time period to slacken.
Shang Jianyao got into the jeep, didn't say much, pinched his temples on both sides, and fell asleep.
…………
As soon as he became familiar with his good abilities, before he left the Red Stone Collection, he wandered in the "Sea of Origin" again and headed to the next island.
In the shimmering illusory ocean, Shang Jianyao changed various postures to adjust the boring "journey" in a way that entertained himself.
He used freestyle for a while, switched to backstroke for a while, did a dog planer for a while, and swam out of the S-shape for a while, moving forward aimlessly.
I don't know how long it took, but an island appeared in front of him.
This island has mountains and water, trees and grass, and compared to the previous two, it is like a paradise.
As soon as Shang Jianyao climbed up, he took a posture to respond to the attack, but after a while, he didn't wait for anything.
He looked around and didn't find any monsters that had evolved into fear.
After thinking about it, Shang Jianyao sat down cross-legged and decided who was more patient than anyone.
The warm sun shining and the gentle breeze made him a little drowsy, but it wasn't enough to control himself.
This state of no abnormality lasted until he began to get tired.
As a result, Shang Jianyao naturally escaped from the "Sea of Origin" and returned to the real world.
He opened his eyes abruptly and looked at the front seat of the jeep, his mouth half open.
After hesitating for a moment, Shang Jianyao closed his mouth again and closed his eyes again.
This time, he really fell asleep.
…………
On duty from night until dawn, Jiang Baimian ordered the team members and the "servant army" to pack up their belongings and prepare to leave.
As they drove separately towards the entrance and exit of the valley, the man on the opposite side, who seemed to have been mechanically modified, hesitated for a few seconds and shouted:
"Are you going southwest?"
"Yes!" Shang Jianyao pressed the window and answered any questions.
The man raised his hand and touched the cold metal right side of his face, and said loudly:
"Then it's better to take a detour.
"A 'higher mindless person' appeared in the southwestern mountainous area."
"Higher mindless"? Jiang Baimian opened the passenger driver's window and asked suspiciously:
"When did it happen?"
Means and the others had just come out of Tarnan and returned to the "Seaside Alliance" through that area.
The man with a small half of his skull replaced with silver-white metal replied:
"Just recently.
"He wasn't there before, he just entered that mountainous area yesterday."
Jiang Baimian suddenly realized and asked:
"Is it the 'mindless person' who has become a deformed person, or is the awakened person suffering from 'heartless disease'?"
"I don't know, this is the information that several ruin hunter teams exchanged for tragic deaths and injuries." The opposite side responded.
They didn't seem to want to say more.
Jiang Baimian exhaled, stopped entanglement, and said loudly:
"Thank you!"
"Thank you!" Shang Jianyao also expressed his feelings.
After leaving the valley, Jiang Baimian didn't have time to stop Jorgensen and others' vehicles and asked for a way to take a detour, when Shang Jianyao suddenly said:
"I discovered the third island last night.
"But it's strange."
Why didn't you say it earlier?" Jiang Baimian first subconsciously flashed such a thought, and then asked gently:
"What's so strange?"
