Jiang Baimian didn't expect the other party to ask about such a very simple thing, and after thinking about it for a while, he replied:
"If you follow the normal route, you can get there in two or three days, but if you encounter the flooding of Nuhu Lake, you need to take a detour, and it may take more than a week."
These people sound like they have never been to the Red Stone Collection...... What to do there? Buy all kinds of smuggled goods? Long Yuehong, who was listening, extracted the key points of the conversation just now.
Without waiting for the other party's response, Jiang Baimian said in a joking tone:
"Didn't you find a guide?"
"I found it." The younger man's expression changed slightly, "He's not a thing......"
The older man with a Chinese face glanced at his companion and stopped the other party from continuing.
He laughed to himself:
"We are not very familiar with this place, and the guide we are looking for is not so reliable, and we are about to get lost."
He admitted that his team was not familiar with the area, as it could easily be inferred from how long they had left in the Redstone set.
A guide is not a thing? Jiang Baimian repeated the young man's words just now in his heart.
This gave her a guess:
Was the attack that occurred last night caused by the guide?
After he was hired by this team, he bullied them as foreigners, colluded with a gang of robbers, left a mark, and planned to cooperate with the outside world and make a windfall?
"You are not lost." The honest Shang Jianyao pointed out the loophole in the other party's words, "You are on the right path now."
The older man glanced at Shang Jianyao and explained with a smile:
"I'm talking about it, but we don't know which direction to go next, so we can only come over and ask you."
Shang Jianyao hurriedly pointed in the direction he came:
"Eliminate it first."
Needless to say, normal humans know this...... Uh, except for the team leader's road idiot...... Long Yue scolded a couple of words, but did not dare to say it.
In order to prevent Shang Jianyao from continuing to "embarrass", Jiang Baimian raised his right hand and planned to show the way.
Wait a minute! Team leader, aren't you a little self-aware? Long Yuehong tried to stop it, but couldn't speak.
What is the difference between this and a blind man giving directions?
When Shang saw that Yao's face showed a feeling of "horror", Bai Chen rushed in front of Jiang Baimian and said:
"You keep walking in this direction until you see Nuhu Lake, and then go south along the lake to find a large city ruin."
The route she provided had clear directions, clear signs, and no twists and turns in the middle, so people could understand it at a glance, and I thought there should be no problem.
The older man sketched a map in his mind and asked:
"Are there any other city ruins on the way?"
The reason why Redstone Collection is difficult to find is because there are huge urban agglomerations in the Old World in Nuhu and its surrounding areas.
"There was it before Nuhu, but it was gone to the south." Bai Chen explained simply.
This is all confirmed by the "old tune team" before.
"In other words, the Redstone Set is indeed not far away...... No wonder you said it would arrive in two or three days." The older man smiled relievedly, "You are regulars of the Red Stone Collection."
Otherwise, I wouldn't be so familiar with the road.
"I've been there twice." Jiang Baimian said that he really couldn't tell the truth anymore.
Of course, she didn't mention it just twice, and the "old tune group" turned the red stone collection upside down, and the power structure changed greatly.
The older man nodded and didn't ask any more:
"What kind of compensation do we need to pay?"
Jiang Baimian saw Shang Jianyao in deep thought, not knowing what request he would make, and quickly smiled:
"Just give me a few cans."
"Okay." The older man turned his head sideways and said to his companion beside him, "You go get eight cans in the car."
His voice is thick and has a kind of majesty.
The young man immediately turned around and walked towards the dark mountain bike parked ten meters away.
Taking advantage of this free time, the older man continued to ask:
"What should I pay attention to in Redstone Collection?"
"Learn to play hide and seek." Shang Jianyao's expression was sincere and serious.
The older man was silent for a few seconds, and then asked thoughtfully:
"The people there mainly believe in 'Yougu'?"
"Yes." Shang Jianyao raised his hands, crossed them against his chest, and took a step back, "Distance is our friend!"
"Do you also believe in 'Yougu'?" The older man asked with a slight interest.
Shang Jianyao thought for a while and said:
"It depends."
With your piety, the deceased did not kill you with a thunderbolt, definitely because they hadn't agreed on who would take action...... Jiang Baimian muttered silently.
Then, she reminded the other side:
"When you arrive at Hongshiji, you need to find a townsman in the ruins of the city and let him lead the way before you can reach your destination.
"This is their folklore, and people who have been there cannot tell others the specific location of the Red Stone Collection."
The older man didn't show an embarrassed expression, just nodded:
"Thank you."
At this time, his companion walked back with eight cans.
Canned sardines, canned elbows with sauce...... Long Yuehong glanced at it and found that the categories were a little different from what she often ate.
After Jiang Baimian took the can, the older man took his leave.
He took his companions, returned to the car, and drove towards the large army.
Throughout the process, they had basic defenses, but they were not particularly vigilant.
"Do you have a certain confidence in your own strength......" After watching the dark mountain bike go away, Jiang Baimian sighed.
She looked down at the can in her hand, and suddenly smiled:
"Guess where did this group of people come from?"
Bai Chen recalled the conversation just now and said unhurriedly:
"They are trying their best to control their accents, but they still show a little bit of clumsiness.
"They should be from the northeast of the gray soil, or often deal with people there."
Hearing that the northeastern region of the mainland and the team were all gray people, Long Yuehong had a guess:
"People from the 'Salvation Army'?"
The "White Knights" and "First City" belong to the "Salvation Army".
Jiang Baimian laughed softly:
"Anyway, the categories of these cans are quite similar to those from there.
"Moreover, their demeanor is neat and orderly, like soldiers rather than robbers and hunters,"
Perhaps for smuggling, the cans in Jiang Baimian's hands were not printed with the manufacturer.
Shang Jianyao was excited, stretched out his right hand, pressed it on his left chest, and bowed to the rest of the group with his body straight:
"For all mankind!"
He looked like he was going to go over to find those people to "catch up" now!
Jiang Baimian stopped him:
"Let's talk about it when we get to the Red Stone Collection.
"I don't know why they came to Nuhu ......"
The "Salvation Army" is separated from the "First City" by the Nuhu area, and its influence can hardly penetrate, and few of their people usually operate here.
"To open up smuggling routes?" Bai Chen guessed.
Jiang Baimian nodded lightly and said after consideration:
"After the turmoil in the 'First City', there was a tendency to shift contradictions outward, and the 'Salvation Army' bore the brunt of it.
"In this way, it is normal for them to plan in many ways and reserve resources."
Returning to the dark mountain bike of the large army, the young man in the driving area glanced at his elderly companion beside him and said respectfully:
"Commissioner Xu, the most active man in the team just now should be an awakener, but I'm not sure if it's at the 'Mind Corridor' level.
"There may be other awakened people among them."
The older man known as Commissioner Xu nodded lightly and said:
"His price currently seems to be that he does not have strong self-control, which belongs to the 'last man' realm.
"But there are many costs associated with similar performance, which cannot be determined for the time being."
……
When the team suspected to be from the "Salvation Army" left the river and headed in the direction pointed by Bai Chen, several members of the "Old Tune Team" finished lunch unhurriedly and got into the jeep.
Jiang Baimian glanced at Shang Jianyao in the back row:
"You can take a nap and go into that psychological shadow again to see what is out of the ordinary."
Shang Jianyao had long been eager to try.
…………
"Mind Corridor", in the "912" room.
After Shang Jianyao entered, he thought he would appear at the pier, which was the starting point of this psychological shadow, but he found that he had come directly to the cruise ship cabin.
"Can you archive here?" Shang Jianyao looked surprised.
This way, you don't have to go back to the starting point every time and start over!
He looked around, raised his hand and rubbed his chin:
"This is another unusual point.
"Also, when we boarded the cruise ship before, it was not completely dark, but now the bright moon hangs high outside."
At this time, a dark cloud flowed by, blocking the moon.
Relying on the light of the wall lamp in the aisle, Shang Jianyao pushed open a door next to him.
This was the room he had entered last time, and he wanted to see how the people inside were now.
In the next second, Shang Jianyao saw the man and woman who had been in a fierce confrontation before.
But now they are standing on the edge of the bed, constantly pushing their backs forward, hitting the air, and the other holding their chests, constantly spinning back and forth in the near door area, as if they have lost their way in such a small place.
