Two small remote-controlled cars with simple equipment drove into the cave one after another.
Wang Fugui, Waite and others immediately took out an old portable computer that could barely be used, received the returned screen, and carefully observed every detail.
Glancing at their occasionally stuttering screens, Jiang Baimian couldn't bear to take out the latest model of portable computer produced by "Mechanical Heaven" from his tactical backpack.
Immediately afterwards, she connected the computer with the Gnawa to share the "vision".
When Wang Fugui and the others saw this scene, their expressions became a little complicated.
"This passage is not purely natural, there are traces of artificial modification." Jiang Baimian focused his attention on the computer screen.
In the picture, a deep road stretches quietly in the dark, with obvious signs of reinforcement on both sides and above.
"But it's not wide enough." Long Yuehong expressed her thoughts.
In other words, vehicles cannot drive on cave roads.
Bai Chen said after consideration:
"Maybe this is a backup passage, only for human access."
"Well, this is just one of the entrances." Jiang Baimian nodded in agreement.
But no matter what, she can already make a formal judgment:
The cave where the white wolf usually lives originated from a certain human project.
As for whether it was built before the destruction of the old world, or whether it was secretly excavated by the "original city" or a certain force over the years, Jiang Baimian cannot give a definite answer for the time being.
Shang Jianyao next to them looked at the computer screen while enthusiastically manipulating the remote-controlled car, not giving Gnawa a chance to intervene.
When the exploration reached the limit and confirmed that there were no explosives pre-planted in the area, there were no other problems, and the two teams entered the cave one after another.
Their vehicles were left outside, hiding in places unknown to the other.
Of course, the "old investigation team" will not put military exoskeleton devices, radio transceivers and other valuable things in the car, and if they are taken away, they may not have time to recover them.
Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong, Bai Chen and Gnawa each carried a crate on their backs, holding different weapons, and followed behind Shang Jianyao.
This made Wang Fugui, Waite and others jump their eyelids:
Does this team have three military exoskeleton devices?
They were sent by some big force to destroy the "First City"?
This cave is actually their destination all along?
Step by step, the two teams reached the edge of the explored area.
So, they started a new round of detection.
After repeating the similar process twice, the "Old Tune Team" and Wang Fugui's team arrived at a fork in the road.
After sweeping with the light of a flashlight, Jiang Baimian turned his head and asked the survivor Longen:
"Which side did you go before?"
Long recalled:
"Left."
At this time, Wang Fugui looked over through the light of the flashlight and said:
"How about we explore separately?
"This saves time."
In order to show his sincerity:
"You choose first."
It's quite kind...... Long Yuehong muttered silently.
At this time, because he had gone deep into the cave, he felt quite cold and no longer in the middle of summer.
This feeling made Long Yuehong subconsciously glance at someone in Wang Fugui's team:
The man who was wrapped in black leather in the forward camp was indeed shivering.
His slender limbs and strong body, combined with such a performance, seem quite incongruous.
Is he really afraid of the cold...... Long Yuehong withdrew her gaze.
After these days of contact and inquiry, he had figured out that the man's name was Gray.
"Okay." Jiang Baimian thought about it for a while and accepted Wang Fugui's proposal.
As soon as she finished speaking, Shang Jianyao volunteered and said:
"I'll choose."
"Which side do you want to choose?" Wang Fugui asked curiously and solemnly.
Shang Jianyao smiled:
"Leave it to God and leave it to the deacons to decide."
As he spoke, he had already taken out a copper coin worth 5 kas from his pocket with the hand that was not holding the remote control.
Jiang Baimian controlled his expression and watched this guy perform speechlessly.
Frankly speaking, she didn't really understand what Shang Jianyao wanted to do this time.
The same goes for Long Yuehong and Bai Chen.
Gnawa reasoned with multiple results, but they all felt that it was not Shang Jianyao's style.
Flip a coin to decide such an important thing? Wang Fugui, Waite, Gray and others looked at each other, feeling that this matter was very strange.
In the next second, Shang Jianyao, who handed the remote control to Gnawa, really threw out a coin.
In the sound of dinging, the coin rolled and fell, and was caught by Shang Jianyao in mid-air.
"Let me see what it is." He looked around and smiled as he let go of his right hand covering the coin.
Immediately afterwards, Shang Jianyao displayed the coin and announced the final result:
"Back up, left!"
After saying that, he put away the coin and walked into the left passage without looking back.
Jiang Baimian followed with a slightly strange expression.
and the "old tune team" and Longen's flashlight disappeared in this area, Wang Fugui said with sincere emotion:
"He actually left it to the chief to decide......
"Are they some kind of devout believers?"
Gray, who was very afraid of the cold, was silent for a moment, and said with trembling teeth:
"Let's go left too?"
"Not for the time being." Wang Fugui turned to the right first.
Waite, Gray and the other four people and the guide hesitated for two seconds, but still chose to follow him.
In the left passage, Jiang Baimian caught up with Shang Jianyao and glanced at him:
"If it's head-up, will you go to the right?"
Shang Jianyao smiled:
"The answer will not change, because before the flip of the coin, I didn't say what the tail or the front represented at all."
I knew...... Jiang Baimian rolled his eyes helplessly.
She saw the problem just now:
Shang Jianyao, this guy is purely teasing Wang Fugui and the others!
Long Yuehong behind Jiang Baimian was stunned for a second when he heard it, and couldn't help but scold:
"In front of devout believers, you will be tied up and burned to death like this......"
Obviously saying that it was left to the year of the year to decide, but as a result, he directly made a decision, which is blaspheming the gods and treating himself as the year of the year!
Long, a survivor of the "Old Tune Group", gradually felt that this group of people was not in good spirits.
At such a serious time, in such a dangerous scene, how dare you make such a joke?
Next, Jiang Baimian didn't talk to the merchant anymore, turned on the flashlight, led the team, followed Gnawa, and continued to go deep into the cave.
It didn't take long for them to arrive at the area described by Ronn as piled up with human food.
After careful inspection, Jiang Baimian determined that these were all produced in the Old World from the production date.
"It seems to be related to the old world." As soon as she finished speaking, she sensed a lot of bioelectric signals.
After counting silently, Jiang Baimian looked sideways at Shang Jianyao.
"Wang Fugui and the others." Shang Jianyao was quite determined.
He determined it in terms of quantity.
Soon, at another passage, Wang Fugui, Waite, Gray and others walked out slowly with flashlights.
They are not surprised by the existence of the "old tune group".
At this moment, Shang Jianyao suddenly spoke:
"Hey, you are one less person."
"......" Wang Fugui's heart tightened, and he hurriedly looked back at his teammates.
He counted several times and confirmed that no one was missing.
Could it be that the missing person has disappeared from my memory? Wang Fugui and the others had just flashed such an idea, and they heard Shang Jianyao laugh and say:
"Just kidding."
At this moment, such a good-tempered person as Wang Fugui couldn't help but grind his teeth.
Jiang Baimian was about to help Shang Jianyao round things up, and Shang Jianyao explained seriously:
"I mainly want to remind you that you may encounter strange situations in the future, and you may forget some things, so it is best to keep the key information on you in the form of a record now."
He then added:
"We have found canine feces here."
This means that it is getting closer and closer to the white wolf.
Wang Fugui nodded thoughtfully and said to Waite, Gray and others:
"Make a simple record of the current situation, and then compare it regularly."
When their temporary team was busy with this matter, the two teams set off again, sometimes in parallel and sometimes separately.
Relying on the reconnaissance vehicle and their own chips, Jiang Baimian and Gnawa gradually drew the routes they had already taken in their "minds".
After eliminating those repeated roads, they and Wang Fugui's team entered a more spacious passage that seemed to be able to drive.
The traces of artificiality are more obvious here, and the ground is made of concrete.
As they moved forward step by step, they found dog feces from time to time, which were analyzed and compared by Gnava to confirm that they all came from the same organism.
This is most likely the white giant wolf.
"It eats a lot and pulls a lot." Shang Jianyao sighed with emotion.
This was a tasteful sentence, and several people in Wang Fugui's team on the other side frowned slightly.
The passage was very long, and the two teams had to stop from time to time to scout the situation ahead with a remote-controlled car, so they didn't see the exit until nightfall.
Outside the exit is an overgrown old world park with a decently scenic artificial lake.
The starlight fell from high in the sky, causing the high-rise buildings that "sank" in the darkness in the distance to be reflected in the eyes of Jiang Baimian and others.
They came to a city that had been buried in history for an unknown number of years.
In a trance, Long Yuehong seemed to have returned to the beginning, and after passing through the tunnel, she saw the ruins of Swamp No. 1.
The shock that came from the civilization of the old era at that moment is still unforgettable to this day.
When he subconsciously looked sideways at his teammates, he found that the team leader was frowning slightly at the stars in the dark night.
After making simple calculations relying on the auxiliary chip and getting a relatively vague positioning, Jiang Baimian ordered Gnava with a solemn expression:
"Tune in to radio mode."
In the suspicious gaze of Wang Fugui and others, Gnawa completed the transformation of the module as instructed.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Baimian exhaled and said:
"Tune to the 119.2 frequency band."
This band corresponds to the "Channel and Electrical Maintenance" station.
Jiang Baimian suspected that he and others might have entered the ruins of Wasteland No. 13.
The old world city in front of them is likely to be the ruins of Wasteland No. 13!
