Jiang Baimian looked at Zhou Yue's smiling face and was silent for a while.
In the yellowish light of the light bulb, she gave up all extra thoughts and said to herself:
"I have seen a lot of information from certain wilderness wanderer settlements, some are private diaries, some are production records, some are allocation lists.
"Through them, I feel like I see groups of human beings struggling to survive in that chaotic and harsh era, relying on less clean water, less productive farmland, and abandoned towns and villages.
"I can feel the heartfelt joy when they finally find clean water or pure crystal elements, I can feel the pride they have when they have worked so hard to clear the ditches and lay the foundation for the next year's planting, I can feel the happiness when they have a good harvest or hunt enough wild beasts, I can feel their cherishing of every sacrifice, and the joy of protecting the settlement.
"Looking at these materials, I feel like I have joined them and experienced the satisfaction of starting from scratch together."
Zhou Yue listened a little fascinated:
"What happened later?"
Jiang Baimian looked down at the corpse, smiled and said:
"Later, a 'heartless disease' broke out, and many people lost their minds overnight and turned into beasts, attacking their companions who had once fought side by side.
"The settlements built by so many people in the blue strands of the road were destroyed in a blink of an eye, and only some information remained that could tell that they had worked hard and struggled.
"If we find out a little later, maybe the information will also be scattered in the wind.
"Well, some of them are plagues, some are weather changes, which bring famine, and some are broken by bandits and some big forces after desperately resisting, but these are better than the sudden outbreak of 'heartless disease' and the situation where there is no effective way to fight it."
Zhou Yue opened her mouth, not knowing if she wanted to sigh or say, "Dreams are everywhere, why be serious."
At this moment, she heard Jiang Baimian's tone become a little erratic:
"That's why I have always hoped to understand the pathogenesis and transmission mechanism of 'heartless disease', and the reasons for the destruction of the old world, otherwise all efforts will eventually be in vain.
"Even if it's just a dream, I have to work hard to change it before waking up."
Speaking of this, Jiang Baimian laughed at himself:
"Rebuilding order, resuming production, and changing the environment are also important parts of saving the world, but it is not our turn to worry about it with those big forces.
"We can only set ourselves a goal that sounds unrealistic."
At this time, Shang Jianyao raised his head, looked at Zhou Yue, and asked with a smile:
"So, do you want to join us in saving all mankind?"
If it were someone else, he would definitely secretly scoff at this time, but Zhou Yue adhered to the concept of "dreams everywhere, why be serious", and responded with a smile:
"We are also saving all mankind.
"Our goal is to make everyone believe in the 'broken mirror', serve Him, please Him, and finally with His help, get out of the dream and enter a new world without 'heartless disease', no war, no plague, and no famine."
Since Zhou Yue did not laugh at her ideals, Jiang Baimian did not say words such as "self-reliance" and "don't pin your hopes on the ethereal years", she smiled and said:
"Then it depends on which side we can succeed earlier."
"Do you want to compare?" Shang Jianyao helped fill in a question.
Zhou Yue shook his head and said with a smile:
"No matter which side we succeed, it's a good thing, there's no need to compare."
As she said, she sighed:
"With the strength shown by your team, you will never worry about the source of food on the gray soil, and you can find a big force to settle down and live a better and more stable life, such as Tarnan."
"But maybe one day, they will suffer from 'heartless disease'." Jiang Baimian looked at Shang Jianyao, "And I don't know if it's my turn next, this can't be prevented, can't be cured, and I can't figure out who will 'draw'."
Perhaps it is precisely because of this fear of the unknown that those who have initially resolved food and clothing within the major forces will also be developed into believers by various sects, either open or covert.
Above the gray soil, almost no group really has a sense of security.
If you really want to find one, the employees of "Pangu Biotech" can barely calculate.
Zhou Yue was speechless for a while, and said after a while:
"I just want to express my admiration for your strength."
"Do you see it?" Yoshi Shomi was "surprised".
Jiang Baimian also added amusedly:
"It seems like we haven't done anything?"
Except for stunning a bunch of people in the "Wild Pigeon" bar, making them immune to hallucinations, not killing each other, and sticking to their own defense zone for a day and a night, not allowing the "High Mindless" to break through, the "Old Tune Group" has not shown much strength.
Zhou Yue replied casually:
"Being able to survive after he repeatedly exerted illusionary influences, allowing him to take the initiative to create illusions originating from Jiang Xiaoyue's spiritual world, being able to speculate and interpret the hidden information behind this, and choosing to stay behind without fear of danger, all show that you have both brains and confidence in your own strength."
"He" refers to the "higher mindless one" on earth.
"It may also be a blind guess, and people are reckless." Shang Jianyao gave another possibility.
"A reckless and mindless team will not survive today." Zhou Yue smiled and glanced at the guy.
As the master of Nanke Temple, the "Dream Feather Warrior" of the "Mirage Dragon Sect", she still has this bit of eyesight, but she can't remember her face.
"That's because we have a good name." Shang Jianyao has a set of logical and self-consistent theories.
Jiang Baimian held back his smile and prepared to see how Zhou Yue would answer.
The corners of Zhou Yue's mouth moved slightly, and after thinking about it, she decided not to continue the debate with the other party.
There is no need to be so serious.
The three of them were silent at times, chatting for a few words, guarding the body of the "High Mindless One" until the sky began to shine.
Looking at the Taoist temple courtyard where the outline gradually emerged, Jiang Baimian took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.
"Hello?" On the other side, Gnava's slightly synthesized baritone voice came from the opposite side.
"Chief Gnawa, the problem is solved, you can send someone over to deal with the follow-up matters." After Jiang Baimian finished speaking, he added, "Well, maybe what we are experiencing is just an illusion, be careful on your way and don't give up the protection of the mirror."
Gnawa was silent for two seconds and said:
"Okay."
…………
At nine o'clock in the morning, after confirming that the "High Mindless One" was really dead, and Tarnan was no longer affected by the illusion, the local residents, foreign hunters and caravan members who had previously evacuated Hexi returned to Hedong one after another with corresponding supplies.
Seeing Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian coming out of Nanke Temple, they nodded in greeting and expressed their respect.
They all heard that last night, these two relic hunters stayed behind with Zhou Yue, the master of Nanke Temple, to deal with the "High Mindless One", and earlier, they also saved a bar person.
"You are now a celebrity in Tarnan." As soon as Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao opened the jeep door and sat in the back row, Long Yuehong turned her head and smiled.
He sat in the passenger seat.
Shang Jianyao emphasized:
"We."
"Yes, it was our Qian Bai team that became a celebrity in Tarnan." Jiang Baimian understood very well what Shang Jianyao wanted to express.
Bai Chen, who was driving, couldn't help but whisper:
"Why is it still the Qian Bai team?"
She has always been the most low-key one in the group.
"Because you are the only one who is an 'intermediate hunter'." Jiang Baimian replied with a smile.
Then, she and Shang Jianyao recounted their experience last night, focusing on three things: "consciousness was infected", "five hundred three" and "'higher mindless people' committed suicide by jumping off the building".
At the end, Jiang Baimian couldn't help but sigh:
"I want to join any denomination and try their Mass to see if I can awaken.
"The secret hidden in room 503 of the 'Spiritual Corridor' must be quite ......"
And now, it seems that only Shang Jianyao can explore that place in the future.
Hearing this, Shang Jianyao seriously made a suggestion:
"Let's join the 'Crucible Sect' together and be baptized, shall we?"
The sauna should be enjoyable...... Jiang Baimian was a little moved.
Anyway, she just believes in it, mainly for awakening, and has no piety to the "Scorching Gate".
"It's a way......" Bai Chen whispered as he drove.
Long Yuehong, the co-pilot, was a little scared when she heard this, and asked weakly:
"Do you want to report to the company first?"
"Ha, just kidding." Jiang Baimian laughed.
Bai Chen asked instead:
"Did you tell Gnava all the details?"
"No." Jiang Baimian shook his head, "We discussed with Zhou Guanzhu, and only mentioned the general development, but did not specifically say what the consciousness infection brought by Jiang Xiaoyue's spiritual world and the information transmitted by the 'higher mindless person' desperately transmitted."
"Hmm." Long Yuehong had already expected this.
After all, this can be regarded as the secret of the "Mirage Dragon Sect".
At this time, he heard Shang Jianyao lower his voice:
"Will we be silenced?"
Long Yuehong was shocked, thinking that this was not impossible.
"If it's another sect, I really can't be careless." Jiang Baimian said with a smile, "But the 'Mirage Dragon Sect', uh, dreams are everywhere, why be serious?"
"Yes." Long Yuehong thought of Zhou Guanzhu's appearance and performance, and felt that she couldn't do or couldn't do anything to kill and silence her.
As he spoke, the jeep drove back to the Dream Hotel.
As soon as the four of them entered the hall, the proprietress Aino, who was huddled at the front desk, stood up and asked with a curious expression:
"You solved the 'higher mindless person' yesterday?
"He's so strong......"
Before the proprietress finished speaking, Shang Jianyao asked in confusion:
"How do you know he's strong?"
"Just, just, I heard about it! Everyone is saying that this 'higher mindless person' is very strong, different from the previous ones." Aino stammered and organized his words.
What are you stuttering...... Jiang Baimian's thoughts moved, and he replied with a smile:
"We can't solve it, this matter has a lot to do with the 'Mirage Dragon Sect'.
"By the way, have you encountered other 'higher mindless people' before?"
