Regarding Lehman's warning, Shang Jianyao showed no shame, but instead suggested seriously:
"If you join us, there will be more than four of us."
When he said this, he looked back at Jiang Baimian, eager to try.
Knowing that he was asking whether to "make friends", Jiang Baimian thought for two seconds and shook his head.
This is not necessary for now.
After leaving the area where Lehman and his subordinates lived, the "Old Tune Group" group of four prepared to go to the next destination:
The "low-rise area" where the city ruins are located by the lake.
One of Herwig's confidants, Buzz, lives in this area, and he has experienced arms looting throughout.
Before leaving the hotel camp, they went back to rooms "05" and "06" because Shang Jianyao wanted to use the toilet.
As soon as the door was opened, Jiang Baimian saw a piece of paper fluttering down to the ground.
It is slightly larger than a palm, and on it is written a row of gray text:
"Don't mind your own business!"
"There is no typo." Shang Jianyao picked up the paper with a look of surprise.
"Not everyone is anti-intellectual education." Jiang Baimian took the piece of paper and read it several times in the winter sunshine.
When Bai Chen and Long Yuehong finished solving their personal problems and walked out of the room, she handed over the piece of paper and asked with a smile:
"Any ideas?"
"Should we stop us from investigating the cause of Hewig's death, or will we not find the looted arms?" Long Yuehong started to analyze step by step according to the method taught by the team leader, "If it is the latter, it means that the group of robbers It is very likely that it is inside the redstone set. Otherwise, it would have been withdrawn to other places and only sent one or two people to negotiate business. There is absolutely no need to threaten us. If it is the former, I think it is too urgent? What are we? The clues have not been found yet, so it is better to warn Han Wanghuo of the police station to threaten us."
Papapa, Shang Jianyao, who came out of the toilet, applauded warmly and expressed his appreciation.
The applause made Long Yuehong a little happy and uncomfortable.
"Not bad." Jiang Baimian gave praise with a smile, "In terms of analyzing problems, you are considered a beginner."
After speaking, she looked at Bai Chen:
"What's your opinion?"
After washing his face, Bai Chen, who was not wearing a mask, frowned slightly and said:
"I find it a little weird.
"It's too early... it's not necessary, is it?"
What she meant was that she wasn't at the point where she needed to warn herself and others.
Jiang Baimian smiled:
"really.
"There are only four of us, and there is only one 'intermediate hunter' among them, and we haven't found any useful clues, so why hurriedly threaten us
"Didn't that arms dealer Lehman say it just now? With our 'strength', it's better to give up the mission as soon as possible."
Slap, Shang Jianyao clenched his right fist and slammed his left palm:
"I understand!"
"What do you understand?" Jiang Baimian asked angrily and funny.
Shang Jianyao said solemnly:
"They must have seen through our disguise and know that we are a 'save the world team' sent by the ultimate villain 'Pangu creatures'.
"They are afraid of our strength and dare not fight us recklessly, so they can only give some warnings sternly."
Jiang Baimian let out a long sigh:
"You think too highly of us."
She deliberately used honorifics.
Then she said casually:
"Even if data is regularly exchanged between the various branches of the Hunter Guild, it will take some time for the Weed City to spread here.
"Moreover, the Yecao City Branch of the Shang Jianyao Brotherhood should still be operating normally, and no outsiders know what we have done."
As a genetically modified person who can sense electrical signals, Jiang Baimian is very sure that there are no such things as bugs in rooms "05" and "06" and the surrounding areas.
"The ultimate villain and saving the world can't be linked..." Long Yuehong muttered.
Without giving Shang Jianyao a chance to refute, Jiang Baimian "complained":
"Really, it broke my train of thought.
"Well, since we were warned when there was no need to threaten, then I can initially think that this is actually a kind of protection."
"Protect?" Long Yuehong was shocked.
Jiang Baimian explained with a smile:
"The detailed description is: Seeing that we are too weak, we are afraid that we cannot bear the consequences of being involved in the whirlpool, so we are given a warning in advance to keep us away from right and wrong.
"Uh, in addition to this, there are two possibilities: one is that the contradiction has intensified to a certain extent, and the addition of any foreign forces will cause the balance to tilt, and they have to take some preventive measures, but from Teresa's reaction and her Judging from the choice of the Come to inquire and investigate, and when the time comes, the clues will be delivered to your door."
Long Yuehong heard admiration for a while, and couldn't help sighing in her heart:
Hey, I'm only 1.75 meters after the genetic modification. I don't know how far the difference between my brain and the team leader is. Uh, she has been genetically modified, so I can't compare, no need to compare...
"If it's the first possibility, why protect us?" Long Yuehong asked.
Before Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao answered seriously:
"Because I'm 1.85 meters tall and I'm pretty good too..."
"Stop!" Jiang Baimian stopped singing in reverse.
She smiled and said:
"Maybe it's because we didn't make a disguise when we first entered the redstone set. At first glance, we look like gray people, no, gray people."
Long Yuehong looked at the "warning letter" in her hand in amazement, and found that there was only gray text on it and no Honghe language.
He nodded thoughtfully:
"It turns out that..."
…
The "low-rise area" in the ruins of the city where the Red Stone Collection is located is composed of three- or four-story buildings with courtyards and walls.
Before the destruction of the old world, there was another name here, but it was forgotten and no one mentioned it anymore.
Of the entire redstone set, it is estimated that only DiMarco in the "underground ark" or the information left by his family still remembers.
According to Teresa's description, the "Old Key Team" found the ancient tree that was hundreds of years old and had been struck by lightning at least twice.
There is also a three- or four-story building with a yard and walls behind the old tree.
Jiang Baimian got out of the car, walked to the gate, and rang the doorbell.
After nearly a minute, a male voice came from the trunk of the ancient tree that seemed to have died:
"Who are you looking for?"
Before that, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao had already set their sights on it.
"We are the relic hunters who took over the case of the robbery of arms." Bai Chen, who was sitting in the driving position and facing the ancient tree, answered loudly, "Mrs. Teresa asked us to come here."
"Wait." The male voice inside the trunk was silent for a while.
After waiting for another two or three minutes, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao looked at another building with a yard and walls.
The fence there lifted a plank abruptly, revealing a large hole.
Behind the big hole is not a garden, but a deep passage.
The next second, a man climbed out of the big hole.
He wore an iron-black mask with a metallic luster, and his flaxen hair was messy, as if it had not been combed for a long time.
Just as he stood firm, he saw a grinning monkey mask.
When Shang saw Yao, he rushed over.
"Stop! Distance is our friend!" The man in the iron mask was startled, and quickly stepped back a few steps to the side.
"Is your mask bulletproof?" Shang Jianyao asked curiously.
"No." The man in the iron mask replied blankly.
"Okay." Shang Jianyao was a little disappointed.
At this time, Jiang Baimian has moved closer:
"You are Buzz."
"Yes." Buzz nodded.
"You were the one who spoke just now?" Jiang Baimian asked.
"Yeah." Buzz wondered if the other party had a problem with his ears.
Jiang Baimian suddenly became interested:
"You dug a lot of tunnels and connected many nearby places?"
"This is what I learned from the Greyspeakers." Buzz was quite proud, "There are tunnels everywhere, exits everywhere, no one can stop me! I can even go around behind the enemy's back. , shoot them from places they can't imagine."
"Good way." Jiang Baimian praised, "Just because of the geological structure and soil conditions here, it should be more difficult to dig tunnels."
"We have the machines from 'United Industries'." Buzz took the opportunity to ask, "Do you want it? Going to the war-torn area where tunnels need to be dug can be exchanged for a lot of things."
"First of all, we have to wait for us to get the arms back and get the corresponding rewards." Jiang Baimian responded with a smile, "Besides, in the real war-torn area, you may encounter ground-penetrating bombs and thermobaric bombs at any time, and hide in the underground fortifications. Not necessarily a good thing."
She stopped chatting and asked earnestly:
"Have you seen what the robbers look like, and know their origins?"
Buzz shook his head:
"They were all wearing masks, hoods and sunglasses."
Having said this, he suddenly sneered:
"It does explain some things.
"If it's a foreign robber, if you grab it and run away, why do you need such a strict disguise
"They wear hoods because they don't want people to see what their hair color looks like..."
Shang Jianyao interjected:
"This can also be achieved by dyeing your hair. I can introduce you to a professional team, but it's far away..."
Jiang Baimian interrupted him:
"Looks like you have a target of suspicion."
"It must be the Grey Talkers!" Buzz said angrily, "Afterwards, I chased the tracks with a few people and found that they went to the south, left the ruins of the city, and then went around to the east!"
After speaking, he roughly explained what the next east side means:
The "underground ark" of the DiMarco family and the church of the Vigilant Sect are in the north of the city ruins; most of the Red River people are in the west by the lake area; the grey people are mainly hidden in those buildings in the east part of the city ruins; site.
- The park corresponding to the redstone set is located west of the middle.
"Is that so..." Jiang Baimian was noncommittal. "Besides these, what else did you find?"
"No more." Buzz shook his head again, "Uh... There were nine people who participated in the robbery, and their heights were nothing special, and there were seven or eight ambush around..."
After asking some more details, Jiang Baimian simply replied:
"We'll go to the Greyspeakers to investigate."
Saying goodbye to Buzz and getting on the jeep, Long Yuehong sighed:
"It seems that the batch of arms is really likely to be robbed by the Grey Whisperers..."
Jiang Baimian heard the words, looked ahead, and chuckled lightly:
"The strict camouflage does not necessarily cover up the characteristics of the Greyspeakers, but may also be the hair color and eye color of the Red River people."
