Chapter 747 Willows and Flowers Bright
Bai Chen followed Shang Jianyao's thoughts and said:
"The one who may have the Buddhist 'token' died in the vegetative rehabilitation center of Renhui Hospital, and the survivors either don't know why they and others were able to enter Zhentai City, or they guessed it, but they didn't dare to go to Renhui Hospital again, hoping to get out of here in other ways."
Jiang Baimian said "hmm" and said in an enlightening tone:
"Humans are path-dependent, and after the survivors fled Renhui Hospital and got rid of the initial panic, they would most likely choose to evacuate along the most familiar road.
"When they reached the edge of the city, they should have found that the exit was missing, buried by the scene caused by the landslide.
"So, where is the corresponding exit, or what part of the city edge is the survivors returning to?"
Gnava was the first to answer:
"If this group of people really belongs to the scientific expedition team where Ding Ling's husband Ji Qiang belongs, then judging from the information we got before, they are from the southwest like us."
This is the news that the "Old Tune Team" heard at the "Salvation Army" rest stop where they met the monks of the "Ascetic".
Long Yuehong's heart moved when she heard this, and blurted out:
"Did they enter Zhentai City from the place where we entered the city?
"Where did you return?"
The honest Shang Jianyao sneered:
"Haven't you forgotten that we didn't come so smoothly?
"I encountered a fracture zone in the middle, and I didn't take a detour because of the military exoskeleton device, Lao Ge and Dabai, and I entered the city directly from that direction."
Why do you put me side by side with military exoskeleton devices and old grids? I didn't wear a military exoskeleton device at the time...... Jiang Baimian suspected that Shang Jianyao was slandering his strength as comparable to that of intelligent robots and military exoskeleton devices, and there was evidence.
Long Yuehong admitted her mistake with a slight annoyance:
"Yes."
He immediately made a suggestion:
"Then let's go back to the fault zone and see where we can enter the city from the detour?"
Jiang Baimian shook his head and said:
"It doesn't have to be that complicated.
"Think about it, from the logic of normal people rather than feeding, what will you do when you go back the same way and find that the exit is destroyed and insurmountable?"
Long Yuehong took a breath, calmed down, thought for a moment and said:
"That must be a different intersection out of the city, how can such a big city only have one exit?"
Stripping away the cocoon to this extent, his thinking gradually became clearer:
"After finding that every exit cannot leave the city, they should choose the one that looks the most promising, try to pave roads and bridges, cross the sky, and at the same time look for supermarkets and other places nearby to collect food."
What he said about paving roads and building bridges is not paving roads and building bridges in the true sense, but refers to a series of behaviors such as blowing up obstacles and laying baffles through ravines.
"So, what we need to do now is to circle around the edge of the ruins of Taicheng and look for places with traces of paving roads and bridges. The survivors are likely to be nearby and have a certain probability of being alive." Jiang Baimian took Long Yuehong's words and gave an order.
The citizens of Taiwan City died instantly when the old world was destroyed, and it seems that no one survived at present, and there is no food consumption here.
Of course, decades have passed, and most of the time when there is no electricity, many foods have long rotted and are no longer suitable for humans, but those that can be stored for a long time, such as canned food, are enough to support a team with few people left to survive for two to three years.
When Bai Chen heard this, he turned the steering wheel and let the jeep drive towards the edge of the city.
At this time, Shang Jianyao, who took "saving all mankind" as his own responsibility and hated evil, said hatefully:
"If there were no missile strikes from the Eighth Research Institute, it would be much easier for us to find someone."
Although those missiles mainly targeted Renhui Hospital and Taicheng No. 1 Senior High School, they were inevitably diverted elsewhere, which may destroy the traces of the survivors' paving of roads and bridges.
"It's not sure if it's the Eighth Research Institute yet." Jiang Baimian casually retorted, "This is just our speculation, I think the possibility is very high, and it cannot be ruled out that someone else did it."
Shang Jianyao, who had switched personalities, laughed and said:
"Anyway, their base is somewhere in the ice field, just in time.
"Just think that they did it, for them, they have done so many bad things, one more and one less is not painful."
Saying that, Shang Jianyao became excited:
"Just like the destruction of Buddhist holy places, it can also be pushed on their heads!"
Hearing this, Long Yuehong looked sideways at the direction of Taicheng No. 1 Senior High School, and her emotions instantly became very complicated.
This Buddhist holy place did not escape the fate of being razed to the ground after all.
Fortunately, Shang Jianyao did not mock him, saying that he had a crow's mouth, a straight mouth, and a good spirit that was not bad, but covered the pot on the head of the Eighth Research Institute.
Yes, it was they who did it, they fired missiles to destroy Renhui Hospital and Taicheng No. 1 Senior High School! Long Yuehong slowly firmly believed that this was done by the Eighth Research Institute.
The area covered by Taicheng is not small, and many roads are seriously damaged, so it took the "old tune team" a whole morning to go around the edge.
Except for the places that were accidentally bombed by missiles and were beyond recognition, there were no traces of paving roads and bridges at the other exits.
"There's something wrong with our reasoning? Which link is wrong?" Long Yuehong retracted her gaze in disappointment.
He preferred to believe that it was the missile that destroyed the clue.
Jiang Baimian smiled:
"It's okay, the previous reasoning itself was based on several assumptions, and it is normal for errors to occur.
"Don't I say it often? Bold assumptions, careful verification, now we have at least ruled out some possibilities."
"Is there no other survivor, only one escaped from Renhui Hospital and entered Taicheng No. 1 High School?" Bai Chen started talking to himself.
Jiang Baimian thought for a moment and said:
"It may also be that other survivors encountered accidents in the middle and lost their lives one after another before they could try to pave roads and bridges."
"Then it's troublesome." It was Gnava who made the evaluation.
Because in this way, finding the traces left by survivors in Taicheng, which was bombed by missiles, is no less than looking for a needle in a haystack, and it is possible everywhere.
"Yes, yes." Shang Jianyao echoed, "Those survivors may have happened on the way back to the exit from Renhui Hospital, or they may have encountered changes when looking for another exit."
Jiang Baimian pondered for a moment and said:
"Do your best and obey your fate.
"We are now using a stupid method: leave Taicheng, return to the fault zone, and then drive from the only option of detouring to Renhui Hospital to see what we can find along the way.
"If there is still no harvest, then report to the company tomorrow that the target location has been destroyed, and at the same time inform the company that we are going back."
"Okay!" Long Yuehong replied very simply.
He suddenly felt that his actions had taken shape.
About two hours later, the "old tune team" circled back to the edge of Taicheng according to the predetermined plan.
When the buildings still standing there came into their eyes, the pupils of Jiang Baimian and others dilated at the same time.
The surface of a gray-yellow high-rise building has a window and the façade around it dyed red.
Even from a distance, this is extremely conspicuous.
The "Old Tune Team" had actually come to this entrance before, but only checked for traces of paving roads and bridges, and had never looked at the corresponding buildings from the direction of entering the city.
"It was splashed red with paint." After a few seconds, Gnava made a slightly synthesized sound.
If it is blood, unless it has just been on it for a long time, it is impossible not to oxidize or blacken.
Bai Chen thought for a moment and said:
"It feels like a distress signal......"
When some wilderness wanderers are trapped in a certain place, they often choose to use colors such as red and purple to attract attention because they do not understand the words, or because they are not sure whether the people they may pass by understand the words.
Long Yuehong's heart moved:
"Did those survivors do it?
"They entered the city from here, thinking that those who came after them would also enter the city from here."
So I chose to make a distress signal here.
Snapping, Shang Jianyao applauded Long Yuehong rarely.
Jiang Baimian thought for a few seconds and said:
"Go over and take a look, be careful.
"Prepare according to the standards that may encounter 'New World' nodes, powerful aberration creatures, and advanced 'heartless'."
Not long after, the "old tune team" arrived under the building, Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, and Bai Chen put on military exoskeleton devices, and Long Yuehong and Gnawa put on bionic intelligent armor.
Then, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong went to the opposite building and found a suitable position for sniping and fire cover.
Gnawa stayed downstairs, guarding Jeep on the one hand and preparing to pick up his teammates on the other.
The heavily armed Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao climbed the stairs and successfully reached the thirty-second floor where the "red" window was located.
The door of the corresponding room is closed, and there is a stale smell.
Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
From their own point of view, they confirmed that there were no humans in it, living humans.
Relying on the helmet of the military exoskeleton device with anti-virus filtration function, the two of them were bold, pushed open the door, and entered the room.
This is an ordinary house, with tables, chairs, benches, sofas, TVs, etc.
Near the "red" window, there is a computer desk with a computer full of smudges.
On the chair opposite the table, facing the door, sat a corpse dressed in dark clothes.
He was lying on the computer desk, his neck and head had turned to bones.
Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao moved over step by step, and when they got closer, they found that the corpse had a dark green rucksack resting between its thighs and waist and abdomen, and a handful of Wubei 7 was lying quietly on the ground next to it.
And apart from this one, there were no other bones around.
