Jiang Baimian was no stranger to Shang Jianyao's occasional escapism.
She didn't say much, and rushed to East Street with Shang Jianyao.
On the way, they met Bai Chen and Long Yuehong, but they still pretended not to know each other.
At this time on the East Street, many relic hunters have come to look for more clues in the surrounding area.
The most critical warehouse area No. 1 to No. 3 was blocked by the city defense army, and no one was allowed to enter for the time being.
Jiang Baimian raised his head and looked at the surrounding buildings. Seeing that there were snipers in key positions, he nodded lightly and said:
"It's quite professional."
Even if the city defense army didn't know that the "priest" was an awakened person, they should go all out in the face of such a person who has been marked as "very dangerous".
Because he couldn't enter the warehouse area temporarily, Jiang Baimian could only stand across the street with Shang Jianyao, waiting against the wall.
After a while, several relic hunters who had close ties with the city defense army took the lead in getting the news.
And this news spread through the guild hall:
"A basement was found in warehouse No. 2. There are very fresh traces of human life in the room, and there are several worn-out printing equipment and a large number of flyers."
No need to ask, Jiang Baimian could guess what was written on those flyers with his toes.
It's nothing more than the phrase "thinking is a trap" with a lot of typos.
"How many years has it been stabilized, are the people in Weed City just so inattentive?" Jiang Baimian couldn't help but "complain" to Shang Jianyao, "When energy is so precious, they haven't found this area. Has electricity consumption increased significantly?"
Regardless of whether the No. 2 warehouse is private or Weed City, the corresponding management personnel are to blame.
Shang Jianyao agrees with this:
"Should be shot."
Inside "Pangu Biology", everyone uses electricity according to the energy quota, and they can immediately find out and reflect on the extra digit at the end of the meter after careful calculation.
Jiang Baimian was about to ask Shang Jianyao if he was impressed by the gun-judgment when he saw Odick in a thick woolen coat walking over.
The black-haired and blue-eyed "senior hunter" said bluntly:
"The guard at the city gate recalled one thing.
"About an hour ago, a pale man in a black trench coat walked out of the city."
Having said that, Odik specially added:
"He looks like he will fall ill at any time, and the guards are more impressed."
I know I know... You actually saw it through the influence of your dreams... Jiang Baimian understood as soon as he heard it, and asked with a smile:
"You want two helpers?"
Since the "priest" seems to have been out of town for a while, it is not bad to say such a few words.
"Your abilities are trustworthy." Odyk said frankly.
When have we ever shown competence in front of you? Jiang Baimian slandered and said:
"Is it because we look tall and can fight better?"
In the current environment, whether it is her or Shang Jianyao, in their respective gender groups, they are all quite tall types.
Odick answered succinctly:
"Confidence, you are very confident."
On this point, he will not be mistaken.
Also, it's not like two newbies either.
Those who can maintain enough self-confidence after going through the novice stage must have some skills.
"I can't wait." Shang Jianyao agreed with Odick's explanation.
Jiang Baimian didn't say more, nodded and said:
"Lead the way."
Odick turned around, walked quickly into a nearby parking lot, and drove out in a red off-road vehicle.
This car is obviously modified, with thick enough armor and bulletproof glass, it looks very flamboyant.
"Great beauty." Jiang Baimian almost whistled.
As for her regret, Shang Jianyao helped her make up for it.
It was a bad habit they developed during the two days at the "Rootless" camp.
"I didn't expect Odyk, who looks very calm and restrained, to drive this kind of car, tsk, his heart may be wild." Jiang Baimian said to Shang Jianyao "in a low voice".
Odick pressed down the window and said with a stern face:
"Get in the car."
After speaking, he looked ahead and said:
"When you're not that strong, you have to use whatever car you have."
And after repeated modification, it is not so easy to give up.
"If you dislike it, you can sell it to me. I have a group of friends who must like it very much." Shang Jianyao suggested sincerely when he opened the rear door.
Jiang Baimian, who was already in the car, frowned slightly:
"Why is this so weird..."
At this moment, Odick suddenly regretted asking these two people to be his helpers.
If it weren't for the fact that the two of them were already deeply involved, he would not have made this choice. After all, it would be good for one less person to know about the city lord's affairs.
The big red cross-country drove back to the central square, turned into South Street, and drove out of the city gate all the way.
Although they had heard Long Yuehong and Bai Chen describe the situation outside, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao became silent when they saw countless wanderers in the wilderness either kneeling or sitting on both sides of the road.
Under the icy cold wind, their faces were blue and white, and there was almost no light in their eyes.
In the farther ground nests and tent areas, there are still people lying there, whether they are alive or dead.
At this time, Dahong's off-road stopped.
With a swipe, countless eyes looked towards this side from all directions.
Odick pushed the door and went down, walked to a man in his thirties who seemed to be sober, took out the portrait of "Father", and asked:
"Have you seen this man?"
Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao in the car both pulled out their pistols, each guarding one side.
When the man in his thirties was looking at the portrait of "Father", an older man in the crowd behind him stood up and moved closer, as if he wanted to grab the job.
He staggered, fell to the ground, and then stopped moving.
His face was pale and pale, and his eyes were blankly open.
In Shang Jianyao's induction, the consciousness representing this person has disappeared.
With just such a light fall, he died.
On the other side, Jiang Baimian also saw some wilderness wanderers sitting and fell to the side, never getting up again.
In the whistling winter cold wind, the remaining withered and yellow weeds around them either collapsed weakly, or were swept into the air.
At this time, the man in his thirties who was asked answered in a weak voice:
"I have seen it.
"There are very few people out of the city today, and he has gone all the way to the end."
Odick nodded, took out an energy bar, and handed it to the man.
Almost at the same time, bloodshot eyes appeared from the pair of eyes looking here, and an indescribable light appeared.
After the man in his thirties took the energy bar, he quickly peeled off the package and folded it in half.
He thought for a moment, then folded half of it in half again.
Then, he woke up a little girl who was leaning on him, stuffed three-quarters of the energy bar into her hand, and urged:
"Eat fast! Eat fast!"
The little girl looked seven or eight years old, her face was dirty, and only one pair of eyes looked bright.
She was still a little confused, but she was very obedient. She took two energy bars, one long and one short, and devoured them quickly.
Only then did the man in his thirties feel relieved and ate the remaining energy bar in his mouth in a few bites.
"Thank you... thank you..." he raised his head and said vaguely to Odyk.
It was not until this time that Shang Jianyao could clearly see his appearance:
A simple and honest man with a Chinese character face and bronze skin.
Odick didn't stop, quickly got back into the car, and drove to the end of the crowd.
After several inquiries, they determined that the "priest" turned to the left.
In this way, they asked for a while, and found that the "priest" went to the northern city wall area after making a big circle outside.
There are gates for nobles to enter and exit.
"Yes, there is such a person." The guard at the gate of the city glanced at the portrait handed over by Odick and said with great certainty, "He has a pass specially approved by the city lord, and we dare not stop him."
"Father" left the south gate early in the morning, circled half a circle, and then entered the city through the north gate? Jiang Baimian suddenly became vigilant.
This behavior is so abnormal!
Shang Jianyao gave a "hmm" and said in a tone that I already fully understood:
"It could be a workout.
"Walk a hundred steps after a meal and live to be ninety-nine."
"The North Gate is the North Street." Odick ignored Shang Jianyao's joke and said his thoughts.
"Then why didn't he enter North Street from the bridge behind the city hall, anyway, there is a pass? Now it's more hidden?" Jiang Baimian said thoughtfully to himself.
"Maybe." Odick didn't say much, showed his pass and entered North Street.
At first glance, the streets are wide, with houses on both sides, or surrounded by courtyards, with rockeries, or high walls, including gardens, which are very different from East Street, West Street, and South Street.
After asking the armed guards at the gates of different mansions in turn, Odick, Jiang Baimian, and Shang Jianyao followed them all the way to the gate of a large building complex.
This is the "First Hospital of Wild Grass City".
- On East Street, there is also a "Wild Grass City Second Hospital".
"Have you seen this person?" Odick took out the portrait of "Father" and asked the guard in the hospital booth.
The guard took a look:
"He? Comes often."
Odick immediately asked:
"Has he been here today?"
"Come here, twenty or thirty minutes." The guard pointed to the innermost building. "He seems to be in charge of the renovation of the old building, so he should be there."
After thanking the guards, Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and the others entered the hospital and went straight to the old building that had been evacuated for renovation.
The old building was five stories high, the exterior walls were all painted white, the lighting inside was not very good, it looked gloomy everywhere, and there was an unpleasant smell of embalming fluid.
After walking for a while, Shang Jianyao and the others saw in the depths of the hall, on the green background and white wall beside the stairs, there was a child's graffiti-like painting.
That is a line person without facial features.
This "person" stood upright, with a line of chalk writing on his hands raised to his chest:
"May you lose your IQ too."
