Chapter 44: Next destination

For the newly discovered old world city ruins, because it is not clear what happened to the "unintentional" remaining inside, and what hidden dangers there are, relic hunters are more inclined to cooperate and form alliances and explore together, rather than Guard against each other, try to eliminate competitors, anyway, in the ruins of such a city, all kinds of resources are rich enough to satisfy everyone, there is no need to grab each other.
　　 In the relic hunter group, this kind of thing is called "open wasteland".
　　 Jiang Baimian’s invitation to Wu Shoushi was not surprising. She first looked back at Shang Jianyao and others, and then said with a smile:
　　 "We have other things."
　　 Before Wu Shoushi could speak, she turned to say:
　　 "I heard that there are many abnormalities north of Yuelu Station.
　　 "In addition to the late-night roars that you should also know, there are some people who have died inexplicably without any scars on their faces, distorted faces, or smiles, very weird."
　　 She relayed the information she had obtained from Harris Brown to Wu Shoushi and the others, as a return to the other party's help in dragging the jeep out of the mud.
　　 After listening, Wu Shoushi looked sideways at the indifferent female companion beside him:
　　 "Ruxiang, what can you see?"
　　 The woman in the army green camouflage uniform shook her head:
　　 "Unable to judge."
　　 Wu Shoushi nodded invisibly and looked at Jiang Baimian:
　　 "Thank you for your reminder, we will pay attention.
　　"But such an opportunity may only be met once in a few years, and it will only become less and less afterwards, so I must not let it go.
　　 "On the dust, we must strive for what we can fight for, otherwise it will only be the difference between a few years before death or a few years later."
　　 After he expressed his firm will, when he saw Jiang Baimian just smiling, he didn't comment, and he immediately understood that the other party did not intend to explore the new ruins.
　　 "Then we continue on the road, hope to see you again." Wu Shoushi bid farewell politely, and returned to the gray off-road vehicle with his companion.
　　 "May I see you again." Jiang Baimian raised his hand and waved.
　　"Goodbye" is one of the best wishes on the dust.
　　When everyone may die from hunger, disease, attack, or natural disasters at any time, it is absolutely precious to be able to meet again.
　　 After watching the gray off-road vehicle go away, Jiang Baimian turned around and sighed:
"such a pity……
　　 "A lot of precious first-hand information can be found in such an undiscovered city ruin."
　　 Bai Chen looked at the north side, and subconsciously asked:
　　 "Really not going?"
　　 "Am I like the kind of person who is face to face and behind the scenes?" Jiang Baimian asked with a smile.
　　 As soon as she finished her voice, she saw Shang Jianyao, Bai Chen, and Long Yuehong looking at her together, their eyes a little strange.
　　 "Haha." She laughed dryly, "That's tactics, understand? Tactics."
　　 Before the three team members spoke, she teased Bai Chen:
　　 "What? The blood of the wanderer in the wilderness burns in your body, urging you to go?"
　　 Bai Chen was silent for a second, then slightly lowered his head and said:
　　 "More, yes, get used to it.
　　 "As long as you know this kind of thing, every wanderer in the wilderness will not miss the opportunity.
　　 "Compared to freezing to death in the winter without food and clothing, there is at least hope for a fight."
　　 Jiang Baimian nodded lightly, looked at the business and saw Yao and Long Yue red say:
　　 "If our ‘Old Tune Team’ has been established for more than half a year and has completed several tasks, then I will definitely revise the plan this time and go to the north of Yuelu Station.
　　 "However, we have two newbies who have just arrived on the surface, and the anomalies and dangers there are already exposed. I can't take them two rookies on an adventure and use their lives to pave the way for my expectations."
　　 Shang Jian Yao finished listening quietly, and suddenly said:
　　 "You said before that I performed well, making you forget that I am a newbie to the surface."
　　 "...what did you say? I didn't hear clearly." Jiang Baimian's smile solidified on his face.
　　 Before Shang Jianyao repeated, she rubbed her ears:
　　 "In short, every member of our ‘Old Tune Group’ is hard-won, and I will not let you sacrifice at will."
　　 At this point, she said to Bai Chen sternly:
　　"Look at the map to confirm our current location.
　　 "Although we don't go to the newly discovered ruins of the city, we have to pass the news back to the company. I have to find out where the nearest, company-dependent, wilderness homeless settlement with wireless telegraphs is.
　　 "Also, the information provided by Harris Brown, the information related to the mechanical monk's purification method, must also be passed back to the company."
　　 "Good." Bai Chen took out a relatively crude map.
　　 At this time, Long Yuehong remembered to ask the key things:
　　 "Team leader, have you solved the purification method?
　　 "Will he come back again?"
　　 Jiang Baimian snorted:
　　 "If he would chase at any time, I would dare to communicate with Wu Shoushi and others here, chat with you?"
　　 Seeing Long Yuehong relieved, she changed her words:
　　 "But well, we really haven't solved the purification method yet."
　　 Long Yuehong's body suddenly tightened.
　　 Jiang Baimian then smiled:
　　"We just wounded him so hard that he would not be able to catch him for a while.
　　 "When he fixes himself, we will be out of his tracking range. The black marsh wilderness is so big, there is almost no need to worry about being found by him."
　　Long Yuehong calmed down and touched his stomach:
　　 "I feel a little hungry."
　　 At this time, it has been a long time since lunch, and he only stuffed half a compressed cookie when he was affected by the "Hungry Ghost Road".
　　 Jiang Baimian's eyebrows moved slightly:
　　 "You don't even ask us how to severely injure the purification method?"
　　 "As soon as you get off the bus halfway, I can probably guess your real plan." Long Yuehong stiffened her back, "For the specific details, you can ask after lunch."
　　 "Children can be taught." Jiang Baimian praised in a pretentious tone, "Smarter than I thought."
　　Long Yuehong suddenly felt joy, and subconsciously wanted to be humble.
　　 At this time, Shang Jian Yao blurted out and asked:
　　 "Team leader, did you think he was not smart before?"
　　 "..." Long Yuehong's expression instantly collapsed.
　　 Jiang Baimian coughed twice:
　　"...That's not the case, mainly because he doesn't have much experience, and it's pretty good to be able to react in time.
　　 "In any case, it has been genetically modified, so my brain is not too bad."
　　 "My grades are only medium..." Long Yuehong lowered his head slightly, and said to himself.
　　 Jiang Baimian tilted his head slightly, carefully distinguishing the other's words.
　　 After a few seconds, she glanced at Shang Jian Yao:
　　 "Sometimes, being too smart is not necessarily a good thing. The middle-class people are more likely to survive because they know how to obey orders and don't make their own decisions.
　　 "Besides, everyone's strengths are different."
　　Long Yuehong took a breath and nodded slowly.
　　 At this time, Bai Chen had confirmed his current location and pointed it to Jiang Baimian on the map.
"Ha, the nearest settlement is in the north...it should be possible to arrive in the evening or tomorrow..." Jiang Baimian took a closer look, "Fortunately, there is still a long distance from Yuelu Station, and there is a certain deviation in direction. So that we won’t get involved in things over there."
　　 She closed the map easily and threw it to Bai Chen:
　　 "Let's go, target Black Rat Town!"
　　 Shang Jian Yao and Long Yuehong are unfamiliar with the Black Marsh Wilderness and have no objection.
　　 "Bai Chen, you check the condition of the vehicle, Long Yuehong, you take another energy bar out of the trunk." Jiang Baimian ordered as he walked to the jeep.
　　Wait until Bai Chen and Long Yuehong did what they had ordered, Jiang Baimian slowed down, looked at the small swamp ahead, and said to Shang Jianyao beside him:
　　 "Why did you beat Long Yuehong's self-confidence just now?
　　 "Be frank and tell the truth in your heart."
　　 Shang Jian Yao also looked forward, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upwards and said:
　　 "I want him to leave the'old tune group', he is too in the way."
　　 Jiang Baimian didn't respond, and he moved slowly to the jeep position.
　　 Two seconds later, she heard Shang Jian Yao's slightly dull voice in a low voice:
　　 "This is too dangerous for him..."
　　 Jiang Baimian tilted his head slightly, and a smile appeared on his face:
　　 "I almost didn't hear what you were talking about!"
　　 She didn't continue the topic just now, she quickened her pace and got into the driver's seat of the jeep.
　　 Soon, the Jeep restarted and headed to the northern town of Black Rat.
　　 After taking turns eating lunch, Shang Jianyao asked:
　　 "Where is Yecao City? Where is it?"
　　 Bai Chen in the co-pilot position turned sideways and said:
　　 "It is a city on the border of the'First City', on the edge of the Monk Wasteland."
　　 "Monk Wasteland?" Long Yuehong was keenly aware that this term was a bit weird.
　　In the "Pangu Biology", because many people may not reach the surface for a lifetime, the corresponding geography textbooks are very rough ~EbookFREE.me~ only roughly introduces the major forces and indicates the most important terrain.
"It's the area where the mechanical monks are most active." Jiang Baimian explained casually while driving. "It is rumored that the headquarters of the monk order, the glazed pure land with the technology and corresponding equipment of the'immortal', is in this wasteland somewhere."
　　 Bai Chen followed and added:
　　 "The specific location of this wasteland is southeast of the Black Marsh Wilderness. If you want to go to the'First City', you will pass by as long as you don't make a detour.
　　 After briefly introducing the Monk Wasteland, she resumed the previous topic:
　　"The Yecao City was originally a small force in the Monk Wasteland. Later, the "Initial City" expanded and wanted to turn the residents there into slaves.
"In this way, they fought several battles, each with deaths and injuries. At that time, the'First City' was in conflict with other big forces. There was really no way to reinforce the slave hunting team here, so they had to negotiate with Ye Cao City to allow them to formally The identity of a citizen is added to the'First City'.
　　 "Therefore, Yecao City has a high degree of autonomy. It is a place where relic hunters are very active, and the ‘Hunter’s Guild’ branch there is also quite famous."
　　 After listening to Bai Chen's narration, Long Yuehong, who was full and drunk, began to ask Jiang Baimian and others about the specific details of how they dealt with the purification method, and learned experience and intelligence from it.
　　 Talking about this matter to the end, he turned his head to look at Shang Jian Yao, and asked with unbearable curiosity and a little hesitation:
　　 "What is the ability of the awakened person that you made Jingfa suddenly friendly?"
　　 He quickly added:
　　 "If it is not convenient to answer, don't say it."
　　Shang Jianyao looked at the windshield in front and was silent for a few seconds:
　　 "The reasoning clown."
