Looking at the artificial lake in front of him, Jiang Baimian stopped and said to Wang Fugui and others:
"Since we want to act together, some things still have to be agreed on in advance."
"What?" Wang Fugui asked slightly warily.
Gray, Waite, and Fars had similar reactions.
Jiang Baimian nodded lightly and said:
"Actions must have a program, a goal, a plan, and a plan.
"Our team has an unchanging program for similar explorations, which in common parlance is:
"You can't expect to become fat in one bite."
"What, what fat man?" Wrapped in leather clothes, Gray, who was trembling slightly, obviously did not understand this gray "maxim", although Jiang Baimian had been translated into Honghe more accurately.
Jiang Baimian thought for a moment:
"In other words, the city was not built in a day."
Seeing that the three relic hunters other than Wang Fugui all showed a look of sudden realization, Jiang Baimian continued:
"We can't expect to find the secrets of the ruins of this city in such a single exploration, and it is completely unrealistic to harvest wealth that will allow us to worry about it for several lifetimes.
"It may be more feasible to divide the exploration into several times, gain a little bit each time, understand a little more about this place, and go deeper step by step, and finally achieve your main goal.
"During this process, we can decide whether to give up the follow-up exploration at any time depending on the situation."
Although the proposal of the "old tune team" is a torture for people with an impatient personality, Wang Fugui and others understood that this is the safest and safest plan at present.
Such a large city ruin would not be long to explore in a year, let alone only divided into several times.
You must know that there are dangers here, and blind action requires life, and the regular army of the "First City" does not dare to force deep into it.
Among them, only Waite muttered in a low voice:
"I just want to get some valuable supplies."
For a city ruin that is not very "developed", this is a small goal, and it is a task that can be easily completed in one exploration.
Jiang Baimian looked around and gave the plan that the "old tune team" had discussed before:
"I suggest that this exploration be limited to a two-kilometer radius of the exit, focusing on collecting materials and looking for clues."
Why two kilometers? Long Yuehong muttered softly in her heart.
He knew the answer, but he thought that the group of lone hunters should also ask, after all, during the group discussion, he had raised such a question, and then he was ridiculed by Shang Jianyao.
Wang Fugui and the others looked at each other and nodded one after another:
"A safe plan."
Without a vehicle, two kilometers approached their physical limit of running and fleeing.
After all, none of them have been genetically modified, nor have they strengthened their corresponding qualities, and they will not run a five-kilometer off-road without having anything to do, and there is still a big difference between running on the road and cross-country racing.
From the perspective of business, it is no problem to go further than the physique of the "chosen ones", but Bai Chen has to be considered.
Seeing that the lone hunters didn't ask why, Long Yuehong was a little frustrated for a while.
Jiang Baimian didn't say anything more, and said with a smile:
"Then let's start."
After saying that, she took the lead with a "short-necked" submachine gun and walked to the place where the weeds lay down leading to the artificial lake.
The first thing they explored was this park, but they found nothing except some things suspected of white wolf feces.
During the process, they were all extremely cautious, afraid that Wu Meng, the owner of the "Tao and Electrical Maintenance" radio station, would exert a bad influence on themselves and others in other ways, but fortunately, no abnormality occurred.
After leaving the park, the two teams entered the city streets, one left and one right.
As soon as he turned into this area, piles of white bones suddenly appeared in Long Yuehong's eyes.
Unlike the ruins of Swamp No. 1, the streets here are obviously not regularly cleaned by "heartless people", with rotten and black silt on both sides, and cars parked horizontally and vertically on the road.
Mixed with similar things are countless human bones, which can be seen everywhere, either with only a few rags to cover up, or completely "naked".
This was the first time Long Yuehong had seen so many corpses and bones, and she felt like she was entering a mass grave.
At this time, the summer sun was scorching, and he actually felt a little cold.
Wang Fugui and others were obviously shocked by such a scene, and they didn't take a step for a long time.
Shang Jianyao sighed and said:
"The amount of work to bury them all is so great that it is almost impossible to complete it."
Jiang Baimian immediately said:
"Those urban ruins that have not yet been discovered by humans should have similar situations in many areas."
Judging from the fact that there are no explosion marks here, those bodies either died in gunfights or were killed by "heartless people" and became their food, leaving only bones.
"The 'heartless ones' didn't drag these corpses into their nests, stored them, and left them on the street to eat them on the spot every day? Do they like outdoor parties?" Shang Jianyao said he couldn't understand.
His focus is always so wrong.
"When humans are first infected with 'heartless disease', they have not yet adapted to the bestiality instinct and will always behave similarly contradictory." Jiang Baimian replied with his own research results, "This area should be the core area of the outbreak of 'heartless disease', there are too many of them, and they will quickly eat up the remaining humans, and other streets may not be like this."
Listening to Xue Shiyue and Zhang Qubing discussing this matter, Wang Fugui and the others felt inexplicably absurd.
What does the "mindless people" of the past have to do with us now?
"In pairs, search here a little to see if there are any clues." Jiang Baimian ordered Bai Chen and Long Yuehong.
This time, she took Long Yuehong and Shang Jianyao with Bai Chen, so that there were no shortcomings in the strength of both sides.
Seeing this, Waite and the others also began to look for valuable materials in this area.
Because they couldn't drive in and out and had to retain enough physical strength, they didn't choose large items, but chose things that were easy to carry and more valuable, such as the gold jewelry on the bones.
After an hour of simple searching, the "old tune team" failed to find useful clues, and could only preliminarily restore the scene at that time - more than two-thirds of the people on the street suddenly went crazy, attacking normal humans, biting them, and eating them.
During the search, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen did not forget to pick up gold jewelry, technical books and other things.
They have never forgotten that they and others are still burdened with huge debts.
Leaving this street, Jiang Baimian's eyes suddenly opened up.
In front of it was a city square, and on the other side of the square were dozens of stories high.
The curtain wall of the building has been broken, and many places are covered with green plants.
As Jiang Baimian expected, the number of bones here was quite rare compared to the previous area.
At this moment, Shang Jianyao pointed to the ground in front of the black building and said:
"Their painting style seems to be different."
Bai Chen, Wang Fugui and others followed his finger and looked over, and found that there were four or five corpses there.
Unlike others, they are highly decomposed, but not yet turned into bones.
"Not long has he died?" Jiang Baimian said considerately.
The "not long time" in her context is relative to those white bones.
"Go over and take a look." This time, Wang Fugui actually took the initiative to propose.
Because it was open and unobstructed, and it didn't look dangerous, Gray, Waite, and Fars all agreed with him.
The "Old Tune Team" is more concerned about such things, and they will not let it go.
As soon as he approached the four or five corpses, Wang Fugui's eyelids suddenly jumped, and he pointed to one of the dead and said:
"Then the shirt he wore was the kind of cheap shirt produced in the original city factory area."
It's not outdated yet, and the style is characteristic of the current era - with more hidden pockets for easy stuffing.
Long Yuehong then looked over and saw the appearance of the corpse clearly.
At this look, he almost pouted.
Only then did he realize that the highly decomposed and miserable corpse was many times more disgusting than the white skeleton.
The indescribable stench penetrated the tip of his nose and made him almost vomit on the spot.
"This shirt has no traces of sewing, it should have been bought in the last year or two." Jiang Baimian raised his hand to his nose, took a few steps forward, squatted down, and explored carefully.
As for the current rupture of the shirt, it should have been caused by death.
She immediately made a judgment and said in a deep voice:
"These are the completely missing relic hunters who were brought deep into the cave by the white wolf?"
"It should be." Bai Chen held his breath and agreed.
Wang Fugui and others were stunned when they heard this:
"Didn't the missing relic hunter either be eaten or saved?"
The rest were killed by the "old tune group", of course, this cannot be said.
Long Yuehong took the opportunity to withdraw her gaze, explained to the lone hunters that the number was wrong, and told the information that a large number of missing people were taken into the depths of the cave by the white wolf.
Waite hissed:
"They went in here, and then, they died, and they weren't eaten?"
How can this sound a bit weird.
"What is the cause of death?" Wang Fugui asked urgently.
Shang Jianyao touched his chin, rushed before Jiang Baimian, and looked up at the black building on the side:
"Judging from the traces of damage to the corpses, they should have jumped from a certain floor of that building and fell to their deaths."
Jumping off a building to commit suicide? Long Yuehong, Bai Chen and others were all shocked.
The group of relic hunters were taken into the depths of the cave by the white wolf and entered Ruins No. 13, but one of them committed suicide by jumping off the building three times in a row here?
"My judgment is the same." Jiang Baimian echoed Shang Jianyao's words, and his face was filled with doubts that could not be hidden.
What happened to these four or five relic hunters, and what did the white wolf want to do?
Jiang Baimian paused for a moment and then said:
"It is not ruled out that they were pushed down, and further inspections must be done to investigate the scene of the jump."
This might be more terrifying, okay...... Who pushed them, why did they push them? Long Yuehong subconsciously wanted to take a breath, but was so smoked by the smell of the scene that she closed her mouth.
"Do you want to go in?" Shang Jianyao pointed to the majestic black building.
Jiang Baimian was silent for several seconds and said:
"Don't do it this time, remember our pre-established guidelines.
"Well, just search around."
The criterion is not to go deep rashly and lay the foundation for the second exploration.
