Hearing Bai Chen's reminder, Jiang Baimian, who was half-turning to communicate with Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong, cast his gaze forward.
There are unusually sparse woods on both sides of the rotten road. The left side has a few swamp characteristics, dark and muddy, with many mosquitoes, and the right side is overgrown with weeds. A black car full of mud spots is parked in the open.
With Jiang Baimian’s knowledge, it is naturally not difficult to recognize that this is an off-road vehicle, and obviously it has been modified many times, either actively or passively, and the tone and feeling in many places cannot be unified.
There were three people standing outside the off-road vehicle, either wearing old padded jackets, or wrapped in nitrified fur, or wore a wrinkled, obviously short black woolen coat.
They have crude cigarettes directly wrapped in brown tobacco leaves in their mouths, and they hold different styles of weapons in their hands, including the "United 202" pistol, the submachine gun nicknamed "Rainstorm", and the rifle from the old world.
There are two heavy motorcycles next to these three people. They have a black base and are painted with red patterns, giving people a feeling of ostentation.
There was a man sitting on each of the two motorcycles. They were wearing helmets with no hoods, and each carrying a miniature submachine gun.
"What can you see?" Jiang Baimian did not panic, but seized the opportunity to ask Shang Jian Yao and Long Yuehong.
had already lowered the window, and Shang Jian Yao, who looked at the front of his head, immediately replied:
"Eat very well."
"..." Long Yuehong looked at the windshield and wanted to say her own judgment, but Shang Jianyao disrupted her thoughts, and for a while she forgot what she was going to say.
Jiang Baimian did not criticize Shang Jianyao, but nodded:
"The eyes are good."
The skin of the five people's faces is very rough, but they don't feel yellow and thin.
This shows that they can at least guarantee food and clothing.
This distinguishes it from the average wilderness wanderer!
At this time, Long Yuehong finally found her way of thinking, and quickly said:
"Good equipment!"
Whether it's an off-road vehicle that has been modified many times, a heavy motorcycle, or the clothes on the body, and the weapons in the hands, they all show the difference between those people and ordinary wilderness wanderers.
Jiang Baimian nodded gently:
"It can be preliminarily judged that they are a well-mixed relic hunter team, or a well-mixed wilderness bandit group, and there is sometimes no difference between the two."
As soon as her voice fell, Bai Chen added:
"The way the off-road vehicle was modified shows that it burns oil.
"This means that those people are familiar with this area, know where to add gasoline, or are confident to get out of the wilderness before the gasoline burns out."
Seeing that the two sides are getting closer, Jiang Baimian didn't say more, picked up the grenade gun and said:
"You hold up the Berserker and put it in the window so that they can see it at a glance."
Long Yuehong suddenly became a little nervous:
"Team leader, will you fight?"
"Who knows?" Jiang Baimian smiled and said, "Ah yes, remember, in the wilderness, showing one's muscles is a form of friendliness, justice, fairness and communication only exist under the gun."
Bai Chen echoed:
"We call this ‘respect is only among the strong’.
"Many wilderness wanderers have expected the strong to be kind, kind, caring, compassionate to the weak, willing to help themselves, but unfortunately, this is closer to fantasy. Maybe there are such people, but there are certainly not many, it is difficult Encountering them is more effective than expecting them."
"The former'Salvation Army' can really be counted, now..." Jiang Baimian's voice gradually became lower.
"If we show our bad dealings, they will show a friendly side..." Long Yuehong nodded thoughtfully, understanding the words of the group leader and Bai Chen.
He immediately had new doubts:
"Why should I do this? They can only see Shang Jian Yao."
Jiang Baimian has not answered yet, Shang Jian Yao laughed out:
"Do you know how to play hide and seek?
"Doesn't it mean that no one is hiding there?"
Jiang Baimian followed with a smile:
"This metaphor is nondescript.
"Long Yuehong, you picked up the Berserker and got ready to frighten the enemies that might be hidden on the swamp and protect Bai Chen, who was focused on driving.
"Also, if you don't do this, even if there is no enemy hidden on the swamp, the opponent can guess that the person in the car lacks sufficient experience and is a prey that can be tried to deal with."
Long Yuehong suddenly realized:
"I understand!"
He immediately picked up the assault rifle and placed it on the incompletely stowed car window.
Shang Jianyao on the other side had already set up the "Berger" and asked eagerly:
"Team leader, can you judge the situation by yourself and shoot?"
Jiang Baimian hesitated:
"It's pretty bold, the people in front are obviously not very easy to deal with.
"Well... you can shoot in three situations. One is that I ordered it, the other is that they continue to approach us and the stop is invalid, and the third is that they show signs of aiming."
While talking, the gray-green four-door Jeep and the black off-road vehicle and heavy motorcycle were only less than ten meters away in a straight line.
Of the five people over there, three of them with simple cigarettes have raised their guns, and the remaining two are crawling on heavy motorcycles, holding the throttle handle in one hand and the mini submachine gun in the other.
If it weren't for the grenade gun and assault rifle muzzle sticking out from the window here, they might have changed positions and launched an attack.
Because the black off-road vehicles and heavy motorcycles are parked not on the "main road", but on the open area of sparse woods, although the two sides are getting closer, there is no danger of encountering them.
During this process, Bai Chen lowered the speed of the car and made the Jeep move a little bit to avoid an overreaction.
Suddenly, Jiang Baimian shouted:
"Do you know what happened to the anomaly deep in the swamp last night?"
Wearing a crumpled black woolen coat and holding a "torrential rain" submachine gun, the 30-year-old man spit out the simple cigarette in his mouth and responded loudly:
"Too far apart, I don't know!"
Jiang Baimian shouted again:
"What are you doing here?"
"Winter is coming soon, let's hunt more wild animals!" The mature man has messy eyebrows and an old scar on the corner of his right eye.
His whole temperament is fierce, like a brown bear wearing human clothes.
Before Jiang Baimian yelled, the mature man asked:
"What are you doing here?"
Jiang Baimian responded:
"We are relic hunters!"
"Relic hunter..." The mature man murmured, then suddenly smiled, "A few months ago, there was news from the depths of the swamp that there was a city ruin that had never been recorded before, ah, maybe, yesterday. The anomaly in the depths of the night swamp is related to this aspect! Although the two events have been separated by several months, who can deny it? Hunters, do you want to know the approximate location of the ruins of the city? You can exchange food for food!"
He roared so loudly that everyone in the jeep could hear clearly and clearly.
Shang Jian Yao focused on the outside, as if he would have a short shot at any time.
Suddenly, he asked:
"Team leader, he roared too loudly and caused damage to our ears, do we need to shoot to stop it?"
"...no need." Jiang Baimian returned to Shang Jian Yao first, and then raised his voice, "We have military cans, energy bars, and compressed biscuits. You make a price!"
The middle-aged man's eyes moved slightly:
"Sixty military cans!"
"Forget it!" Jiang Baimian didn't seem to have thought about bargaining at all, just perfunctory.
At this time, the jeep had passed the position of the black off-road vehicle, and the distance between the two sides gradually increased.
The middle-aged man did not insist either, and responded loudly:
"I hope there will be a trading opportunity next time!"
After finishing speaking, he maintained a vigilant posture, watching the jeep go further and further, beyond the shooting range.
"Boss, why don't you shoot?" At this moment, the thin young man next to him, wearing an old padded jacket and holding a simple cigarette in his hand, hurriedly asked.
"Yes, boss, although their firepower is not weak, we have that thing!" The man with a shaggy face straightened up on a heavy motorcycle and pointed to the trunk of the black off-road vehicle. "Their supplies Surely a lot!"
The mature man shook his head:
"No matter what, our loss will not be small.
"It's not good, it's not good."
The young man wearing an old cotton-padded jacket and holding a "United 202" pistol said puzzledly:
"Boss, people die for money and birds die for food!
"Besides, isn't it just to see who is ruthless and fierce in the wilderness? Anyway, tomorrow may be unexplained death, it is better to fight today!"
The mature man gave him a cold look:
"On the wilderness, we only talk about cruelty and fierceness, and they can't live long.
"There are not many pure prey here. UU reading www.uukanshu.com is mostly both hunters and prey. If we are not afraid of injury, we will soon become weak enough to become the prey of others.
"Look at those beasts. When they are full, they will not attack by force when they encounter a beast that is almost powerful. They know that once they are injured, they may become prey of others, so they should reduce unnecessary hunting.
"Aren't you better than wild beasts?"
The other older man wrapped in animal skins, holding an old world rifle, and a simple cigarette, echoed:
"The boss is right, and, haven't you found out? The only food for those people just now is military cans, energy bars and compressed biscuits!
"Do you know what does this mean?
"Normal relic hunters are in this state only when they have just set off from a certain border town in a certain city of a big power, and there seems to be no big power market town or city we know of nearby."
Another man sitting on the motorcycle murmured:
"Maybe, they just found an old world military warehouse?"
The middle-aged man headed by exhaled and said:
"Okay, everyone don't fight."
He immediately smiled:
"Don't you find out that they are likely to pass through that place? There are not many routes available for vehicles in this area, and there are not many people who know that an abnormality has occurred there.
"Get in the car, this distance is almost the same, we quietly follow up, and when they encounter that big trouble, fight to the limit, we will clean up together!"
The other men suddenly showed surprise:
"Yes, boss!"
They got on the off-road vehicle very actively and started the heavy motorcycle.
