Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 180: Vigilance is the instruction of God

Views:

The man whom Shang Jianyao pointed at his forehead with a pistol seemed to be a mixed race of the two races, Huitu and Honghe, with black hair and brown pupils, a high nose bridge and deep eye sockets.

He was wearing gray clothes, very similar to the surrounding environment, as if he could blend in at any time.

Hearing Shang Jianyao's rhetorical question, he was slightly annoyed and emphasized:

"This world is very dangerous, even the once powerful human civilization can't resist it, let alone us now

"If we didn't stay vigilant and know how to hide ourselves, we would have been destroyed."

Jiang Baimian had already come over and stopped Shang Jianyao from going to the bottom of it, and instead asked:

"Are you from the Redstone Collection?"

"Yes." The man answered in the affirmative first, and then said, "But please don't blindly believe it and remain vigilant enough."

It was the first time that Jiang Baimian, who had heard others say this, was slightly amused, and nodded slightly:

"We've always been vigilant.

"By the way, where is the redstone set?"

"Somewhere in this ruin." The man looked at the lobby area of the building, "Since I have been found by you and failed to hide successfully, let me take you there."

"Okay, what's your name?" Jiang Baimian was considered a daring artist.

"My name is Gaudi." The man said casually, "This may also be a pseudonym, please don't believe it blindly."

Shang Jianyao next to him was excited when he heard it, as if he had learned another trick.

He took back the "ice moss" and said seriously:

"Let's lead the way, at the Redstone Set, I promise to give you back your freedom.

"This may be a lie, please don't believe it blindly."

Gaudi nodded in approval and took a few steps towards the hall:

"Distance is our best friend."

After leaving the building, Shang Jianyao asked him to get on the jeep, sit in the middle of the back row, and be responsible for guiding the way.

This time, it was Bai Chen driving.

In the gap between the vehicles, Jiang Baimian asked one after another:

"What sect do you believe in?"

"Watch out for sects," Gaudí replied in very fluent Greyhound, "but you..."

"Stop! We have already remembered it." Jiang Baimian interrupted the other party's repetition and asked with a smile, "Who is Zhisui who believes in this, and what does the teaching look like? We are a little interested."

"What is the sacrament?" Shang Jianyao on the other side added a question.

Gaudi's expression became quite pious:

"What we believe in is the 'Yougu' of October.

"Before the destruction of the old world, He was widely worshipped among the people in certain places.

"The reason why we call it the vigilance sect is because You Gu told us that the world is dangerous, and vigilance is the most important instinct of everyone. It is difficult for people without vigilance to survive the various disasters after the destruction of the old world. The world is coming.

"Vigilance is a reminder from God."

Speaking of which, Gaudi raised his hands, crossed them on his chest, and assumed a very defensive posture.

"Then what?" Shang Jianyao urged.

Gaudi looked at him sideways:

"We don't have communion. Dare you drink water and food that you didn't prepare yourself

"When we attend Mass and other ceremonies, we bring our own boiled water and our own dishes."

"Sure enough." Jiang Baimian commented, and looked at Shang Jianyao with a bit of schadenfreude.

Shang Jianyao sighed regretfully:

"We have no fate."

When Gaudí was at a loss, Jiang Baimian asked another question:

"You Redstone Set are all vigilant sectarians?"

"Almost, only a few are not, and neither are outsiders like you." Gaudi said quite proudly, "Since the establishment of the Redstone Set, it has been attacked frequently, and every time it has brought a lot of casualties. That At that time, people from many sects came to preach, and everyone had mixed beliefs. But gradually, we discovered that the teachings and concepts of the sect were the most effective, and the 'yougu' was the one who had the most compassion for the world. After that, everyone spontaneously After switching to the Vigilant Sect, the number of attacks here has been significantly reduced, as have the casualties."

It is possible that the order on the dust has initially recovered, and after the situation began to stabilize, "United Industry" needs such a smuggling node to complete some things that are inconvenient to do on the surface... Jiang Baimian found another explanation in his heart.

But in the case of unfamiliar life, it is impossible for her to refute Gaudi.

She is not a businessman.

According to Gaudi's "command", the jeep bypassed a severely damaged block and entered a rather open area with many evergreen trees.

"Is this a park in the old world?" Jiang Baimian made a guess based on his own knowledge.

"Almost, we think so." Gaudi wanted to add another idiom, but there was already an intersection ahead.

He had no choice but to "command":

"To the right, to the end."

Soon, Bai Chen drove a jeep to a small hill.

There is a large hole here, and the opening can be used for four cars to enter and exit.

The road to the underground is well preserved and the surface is very neat.

"The red stones are collected underground..." Long Yuehong suddenly realized.

He is familiar with this.

As soon as he finished speaking, on the cliffs on both sides of the cave, gun barrels were drilled out of the hole, and there seemed to be artillery guns aiming outwards in the cave.

"I'll go down and say hello," Gaudi said.

Jiang Baimian instructed Bai Chen to back the jeep a distance away from the possible firing trajectory of the artillery, and then opened the door to let Gaudi get off.

"Yes, very vigilant." Gaudi praised.

He took a few steps forward, waved his hand, and retracted the extended barrel and the turned artillery.

Only then did Bai Chen drive the jeep, pick him up, enter the cave, and spiral down the road with heavy humidity.

Before long, they saw the parking lot.

"Look for the closest place to the Redstone Collection and stop." Jiang Baimian looked around, memorizing the terrain.

"Everyone stops there." Gaudí said that people who were wary of the sect also thought the same.

They are ready to rush out of the redstone set at any time and drive away.

"Heroes see the same thing." Jiang Baimian responded with a smile, "Then find a vacant seat nearby."

After some searching, they parked the car, passed through two wooden doors in a row, and saw the appearance of the red stone set.

It seems like a replica of some building patterns outside, just moved underground.

At the very bottom is the sheet plaza, which can be seen directly from the top floor where the "Old Key Group" is located.

The square is surrounded by a circle of floors going up, and the places visible to the naked eye are connected by escalators.

These floors are brightly lit, separated by shops, some with signs of "Arms Trade", and some with "Offshore Oil Company Office in Hongshiji".

At a glance, Long Yuehong found that almost everything was sold here, and it was more naked than the underground trading market in Weed City.

The only problem is that there are no samples in these stores, just some tables, chairs and cabinets, and there is no one inside!

"If you want to trade in the Redstone Set, you must first find the boss who is hiding." As Gaudi introduced, he took out a cloth mask from his pocket, unfolded it, and put it on his face.

This made him look rather "fierce".

"Interesting." Shang Jianyao's eyes were unusually bright.

Before Jiang Baimian stopped him, he took a few steps to the nearest shop, "Golden River Tea".

Then, he knocked on the wooden cabinet at the door a few times.

"You lost!" After speaking, he ran back to Jiang Baimian.

After a few seconds, the door of the wooden cabinet slowly opened, and a middle-aged man with a height of at most 1.6 meters came out.

He touched the black beard under his chin, and looked around the shop blankly, but he didn't find the person who found him.

"Is this the custom of the Red Stone Collection?" Jiang Baimian smiled and retracted his gaze, and said to Gaudi, "Let's take us to the Hunter Guild here first."

"It's at the bottom." Gaudi took the lead and walked to the escalator next to him.

As the escalator slowly descended, Jiang Baimian asked thoughtfully:

"What do you rely on to generate electricity here?"

"Diesel generators, solar charging panels, hydroelectric units, these are all in use." Gaudi replied casually.

At this time, Shang Jianyao interjected and asked:

"What's your Mass like? Is it better to hide than anyone else?"

He looked enthusiastic.

Gaudi nodded:

"It's one of those ways.

"In the previous Mass, I was found only tenth from the bottom."

Co-authoring is really hide-and-seek teaching... Jiang Baimian slandered.

Shang Jianyao asked:

"Then who is number one?"

"Viere." Gaudi said with admiration, "he has not been found yet."

"...When was your mass held?" Jiang Baimian was stunned for a moment.

Gaudi answered with some puzzlement:

"Just three days ago."

"That's okay..." Jiang Baimian breathed a sigh of relief.

Otherwise she would have thought that the Viel was gone.

As a researcher who has read books in the old world, she will inevitably think of some more evil rituals, what everyone has to work hard to keep themselves from being found, and support until the end to get the favor of the old age, and directly enter the new world.

This is equivalent to a human sacrifice in disguise.

They seemed to be the only living creatures left in the empty underground building with few people coming and going, but when they came to the bottom and saw the signboard of the "Hunters Guild", they still found other people.

This "Hunter Guild" is not big, not even one-tenth of its counterparts in Weed City.

It also doesn't have that many tech gadgets, just a big screen and a row of service windows.

The clerks behind the windows all wore different masks, some were rabbits, some were clowns, some were tigers, some were paper bags poking holes.

"There is no way, the Hunter Guild does not allow the clerks to hide, everyone can only wear masks to hide their true appearance." Gaudi introduced.

Jiang Baimian sincerely praised:

"pretty good."

Although it is relatively easy for her and Shang Jianyao to find someone, but who wants to make trouble for themselves

Unless you have fun.

They quickly entered the Hunter Guild and came to one of the windows.

The clerk in the tiger mask immediately said:

"The tasks are all displayed on the screen, and the records on the table are neat.

"If you can't read, you can find the 'guides' and they'll be hiding somewhere nearby."
