Chapter 5: Approaching

"On the journey of the great road, the world is the public, the selection of talents and abilities, and the faith and harmony..."
Long Yuehong sat in the back row to the left, holding a book, and muttering.
After reading this passage, he lifted his head and looked forward in doubt:
"Group leader, why doesn't the company teach this ancient essay?
"Does anyone remember?"
The book in his hand was bought from Shuiwei Town for food.
At this time, the sunset was thick, and Jiang Baimian had to wear sunglasses.
She thought for a moment, and said casually:
"I read in extracurricular books when I was a kid, which shows that many people still remember it.
"It's just that, the company executives may not want everyone to learn this ancient essay, lest they all pursue the Datong society, which is not conducive to management."
"Isn't it?" Long Yuehong expressed his thoughts, "Although the company has not done the world for the public, the selection of talents and ability, but at least let everyone have the end, strong and useful, young and strong, uh , Those who are underprivileged, widowed, lonely, alone, and disabled all have support."
Halfway through, he had forgotten his words a bit, so he could only look down at the book again.
Jiang Baimian laughed:
"There is a saying called Anti-Wei Dujian.
"You see, employees like you who haven't been working for a long time know that the people above often use power for personal gain and nepotism, which shows that everyone still has a steelyard in their hearts. They dare not object on the face, and they are all pointing in private.
"If generations of generations have accepted ideas similar to Datong society, how can they play? How can the big boss smoothly hand over rights?"
Long Yuehong was somewhat persuaded, but still felt not so serious:
"Should no one directly oppose the high level?
"Everyone is quite satisfied with the current situation."
Compared with the many wilderness vagrants on the dusty soil, the "Pangu Creature" is stable and calm inside. As long as you work hard, you will get a certain degree of return, and you don't have to worry about starving to death.
"Not necessarily." Jiang Baimian said as he let the jeep turn and walk along a small river.
Long Yuehong smiled immediately:
"How could someone be willing to sacrifice so much just to help everyone fight for their rights?"
After asking the question, he subconsciously looked at Shang Jianyao next to him.
He suddenly remembered that this friend and colleague often talked about saving all mankind.
"Yes." Shang Jian Yao Jiong looked at him with a piercing look.
"..." Long Yuehong felt that he could not argue with this guy, and said instead, "Aren't you sleeping?"
During this time, Shang Jianyao would sleep every day during the day, as if he had entered an intermittent hibernation period.
In this regard, Long Yuehong didn't feel strange. For more than half a month, he had been on the road every day, and there was basically no other life. Apart from sleeping, chatting and restoring physical exercises, there was nothing else to do.
"I'm a little tired, wake up and rest." Shang Jianyao said the truth that sounded strange.
Recently, he often wandered into the "Sea of ​​Origins" in search of a second "island".
"Isn't sleeping with you resting?" Long Yuehong cursed with a smile.
Suddenly, his inspiration flashed, and he looked at Jiang Baimian's back again:
"Group leader, why did Shuiwei Town teach this text? You have also seen that their senior leaders have their own careful thoughts. They don't want the world to be the public, and they don't want people to kiss themselves..."
Jiang Baimian said with an "um":
"It may be precisely to prevent this from happening that similar articles were put into the classroom.
"Different original intentions resulted in two different choices."
Bai Chen, who was in the co-pilot's position, glanced at the group leader, and said in a small voice:
"Actually, it's not that complicated.
"As soon as Shuiwei Town was founded, they used whatever textbooks they had. Everyone didn't think about it so much, and then it became a tradition."
Jiang Baimian wanted to look at Bai Chen sadly, but his eyes were completely blocked by sunglasses.
She laughed blankly:
"You can't dismantle my desk while I'm reasoning!"
When she said this, she was still in a good mood, because Bai Chen's state was recovering well.
She thought that Tian Erhe's death would make Bai Chen too slow for a long time. As a result, after the handover, on the second day after leaving Shuiwei Town, Bai Chen couldn't see anything abnormal, just a little depressed.
In the last few days, she is no different from before.
Jiang Baimian also understands this:
Which wilderness wanderer is not used to seeing life and death?
As long as there is no direct breakdown or psychological problems, they will not be affected by similar things in their daily life soon. Of course, it may be a long time later that they will still feel a pain in their hearts.
After finishing this topic, the jeep fell into silence again.
After half a month, how can there be so much talk?
Long Yuehong immediately looked out the window and saw the low-hanging lead cloud, the yellow wilderness, the brown soil, and the mountains and trees in the distance.
Apart from these, there is nothing, not to mention human beings, even animals are stingy in showing signs.
This is the dusty winter.
This kind of scenery is really depressing and irritating after a long time.
In order to rush to Ye Cao City as soon as possible and avoid possible dangers, the "old tune group" chose similar places all the way, and it has been more than half a month.
They did not take the conventional route and detoured very far, and it was delayed for many days due to environmental changes and bad weather conditions in some places.
"When can I meet people?" Long Yuehong exhaled slowly.
If this goes on, he feels that one day he will go crazy because of it.
"What then? Will you chat with them?" Shang Jianyao asked quite excitedly.
"Uh..." Long Yuehong thought about it carefully, and felt that she should not be so reckless, "I just want to see other people, otherwise, I would feel that there are only four of us left in the whole dust."
"Then who do you pick? For the reproduction of humans, you must make sacrifices." Shang Jianyao seemed to imagine the scene in Long Yuehong's hypothesis.
Jiang Baimian was about to stop this guy from continuing to speak, Bai Chen suddenly said:
"In this season, it is better not to meet people in the wilderness."
Long Yuehong has some experience, and said thoughtfully:
"Wanderers who have entered the wilderness in such cold weather have no food?"
"Yes. Moreover, their food is seriously insufficient." Jiang Baimian replied.
She sighed immediately:
"At that time, it's okay for them to try to grab you. If you kneel on the side of the road, hold your child, and beg, will you save it or not?
"If you choose to save, how many days can you support them with food? How many can you save along the way?
"After the rescue, if they feel that this is still not going to be winter, and they decide to take the opportunity to grab you, or even kill you, and make it into reserve food, how would you feel?
"Even if they know how to be grateful, they didn't do it, and they turned their heads for food to survive the winter, and wiped out some other people you saved, even the poorer people, would you blame yourself?"
These rhetorical questions seemed to be sharp arrows, accurately inserted into Long Yuehong's heart, causing his lips to move, unable to answer.
"No one can be saved." Bai Chen replied on his behalf, "Our food is only enough for us to eat the Weed City, and it is winter now."
"Unless you are willing to starve yourself to death, otherwise, it is better not to see." Jiang Baimian added.
She laughed at herself:
"Personal power cannot save dust.
"The founders of the'Salvation Army' decided to unite after experiencing similar things time and time again, and then they decided to unite and build an organization that is equal on the ground and with the goal of saving all mankind.
"They hope to use a powerful collective to rebuild the social order and production system as soon as possible, and then to accommodate more vagrants, produce more food and other materials, and grow as a snowball.
"such a pity……"
She lamented that the "Salvation Army" established by idealists eventually fell.
"There are always latecomers." Shang Jianyao replied solemnly.
Jiang Baimian did not continue this topic, pursed his lower lip, and said heavily:
"It's time to consider what to eat at night."
Hearing these words, Long Yuehong's expression suddenly collapsed, and Shang Jian Yao did not raise his hand to wipe the corners of his mouth.
They have only three options:
Energy bars, compressed biscuits and military cans.
Although there are different flavors and different types, in the final analysis they are energy bars, compressed biscuits and military cans.
And after eating these things every day for more than half a month, when they hear similar topics, they will inevitably feel bad and even feel a little sick.
"When I go back this time, I will definitely never want to eat canned food again." Long Yuehong sighed sincerely.
Those cans are indeed delicious, but who can take it every day?
Seeing that no one answered, Jiang Baimian glanced at the setting sun hanging on the horizon, and said to Bai Chen sideways:
"What is a suitable settlement for the wilderness wanderers nearby?"
Although the map provided by the company marked several well-known settlements in this area, Jiang Baimian felt it was more straightforward, more convenient and more appropriate to ask Bai Chen.
"In addition to trading food, what are the requirements?" Bai Chen asked directly.
She was very sure that the group leader was not the one who had to change the itinerary just to change the recipe.
Jiang Baimian laughed:
"We're going to Ye Cao City in one or two days, so we have to make some preparations in advance.
"You can't just swagger into the city, right?
"Even if the'Life Sacrifice' cult is not that extreme and not that powerful, and has not obtained the information that we are going to Ye Cao City, we have to consider the factors that caused the disappearance of the other'Old Tune Group'.
"So, we still need to find a suitable wilderness wanderer's settlement, do some necessary disguise, for example, mix in the caravan going to the Weed City to trade."
Papa Papa, Shang Jian Yao sincerely applauded. Long Yuehong also praised from the bottom of his heart that the team leader was thoughtful and comprehensive.
Bai Chen nodded gently:
"I see what you mean~EbookFREE.me~ Then go to the nearby ‘Rootless’ camp.
"In winter, they should all be here."
"Rootless?" Long Yuehong let out a puzzled voice.
"Are they all eunuchs?" Shang Jianyao asked.
Jiang Baimian also said with interest:
"I have heard of'Rootless', but I don't know much about it. What is the specific situation?"
Bai Chen smiled slightly:
"When you see it, you will know that they are not inferior, nor are they eunuchs, but a group of normal humans with unique customs and habits."
"Oh, I have learned how to sell off." Jiang Baimian joked, "Where should I go?"
Bai Chen had already sat up straight and pointed the way seriously.
