As the jeep drove towards the southeast area in the dark night, following the trajectory of the yellow headlights, in the city full of abandoned buildings, Long Yuehong slowly lifted her heart involuntarily.
Although he is no longer a rookie, this is the first time he has experienced this kind of direct "front line".
This is different from the riot in Weed City, it can barely be called a regular battle.
Just when Long Yuehong quietly took a deep breath and calmed her inner tension, Shang Jianyao held the steering wheel with one hand and took out the small speaker with blue bottom and black face from the tactical backpack with the other.
After he pressed it a few times, a passionate melody reverberated in the jeep.
This time the music was not mixed with human voices, but Long Yuehong was a little excited when he heard it, as if he had become a lone hero, about to defeat a hundred with one hit.
"What is this piece of music called?" He turned his head and asked curiously.
Compared with just now, he was obviously calmer.
"I don't know, pure music." Shang Jianyao swayed his body and replied with a smile, "You can call it an expedition song."
While feeling the enthusiasm and excitement brought by the music, Long Yuehong watched the khaki all-terrain vehicle in front move steadily in the ruins of collapsed buildings and damaged roads, and couldn't help but sigh:
"The team leader let us drive the car and wander around the redstone set. It's really useful..."
Although it was impossible for them to clearly grasp the status of each road in such a short period of time, after all, the scale of the city's ruins was not small, but they still knew the location of buildings and commonly used roads in the main area.
Coupled with the map provided by the alerter Song He, even if it is midnight, they can easily go to their destination.
Hearing Long Yuehong's emotion, Shang Jianyao glanced at him sideways, and said doubtfully:
"I thought you should have understood the importance of being familiar with the environment when you were in Weed City."
"It was mainly Bai Chen who led the way that time, and I didn't know much about it." Long Yuehong explained quite honestly.
Shang Jianyao expressed his understanding and seriously proposed:
"Hide and seek is the best way to get acquainted with the environment. I will take you to the vigilant sect Mass next time."
Do you want to participate yourself? Long Yuehong didn't say what was in his heart.
He stopped chatting and tried to adjust himself.
After an unknown time, Jiang Baimian gave an order through the walkie-talkie:
"Turn off the lights, slow down, turn on the stereo."
They had already reached the Ayr supermarket and the Sixth Day Mall, but they did not hear the continuous sound of gunfire and cannons.
Shang Jianyao immediately rolled down the car window, adjusted the content played by the small speaker, and turned the volume to the maximum.
Soon, a high-pitched male voice came out from the jeep that seemed to melt into the darkness:
"We are a team of relic hunters, and we are entrusted by the alerted Song He to send arms!"
"We are a team of relic hunters, and we are entrusted by the alerted Song He to send arms!"
Because the sound was too loud, Long Yuehong's ears in the passenger seat were buzzing, and the words echoed in her mind.
He opened his mouth and subconsciously wanted to say something, but the words he spit out were drowned out by the sound waves.
In the khaki all-terrain vehicle in front, Bai Chen's expression in the main driver's position became a little weird.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Baimian asked loudly, sensing her change.
She closed all the windows manually, reducing the "pollution" of Shang Jianyao's voice to a level that would not affect the conversation.
Bai Chen took a breath, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and said:
"When I used to wander on the dusty soil, I used to drive my car and go to different settlements to exchange items.
"Sometimes, in order to save time and convenience, I will make a big horn and keep shouting what I want."
Jiang Baimian asked curiously while observing the surroundings:
"for example?"
Bai Chen was silent for a few seconds, then looked ahead and said:
"Rice, flour, canning knives, pistols, bullet casings and various metal items."
Jiang Baimian chuckled:
"Aunt Nan and the 'receive bad pistols, bad rifles, bad submachine guns' at their door, did you think of them?"
Bai Chen pursed his lips and said:
"Every homeless person who has had a similar experience will say a few words."
Without waiting for Jiang Baimian to respond, she said in a deep voice:
"Team leader, you're almost at your destination, pay attention to your surroundings."
"Oh, I'm angry..." Jiang Baimian muttered in a relaxed state.
"Not angry." Bai Chen looked ahead and responded quickly.
"That's embarrassing?" Jiang Baimian asked with a smile.
Bai Chen stopped talking.
Jiang Baimian closed as soon as he saw it. While sensing the electrical signal, he continued to look at the buildings and ruins on both sides of the road by the moonlight outside.
In less than a minute, she picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"You can turn off the sound and keep a sufficient distance from us."
Every muscle of hers tensed slightly, ready for the unexpected.
After another tens of seconds, two figures emerged from a collapsed building in front of the side.
With their assault rifles in hand, they walked along the cleared road and got down to the ATVs that stopped voluntarily.
And in the surrounding darkness, I don't know how many guns were aimed at this side.
The two figures were wearing animal masks and hoods, making it impossible to tell at a glance whether they were Red River people or Grey Whisperers.
After looking at it for a while, the woman wearing the bull mask said in gray:
"Are you the relic hunters who took the Herwig quest?"
"Yeah, we retrieved Herwig's arms and wanted to sell our own parts to the town guards, but I don't know where Captain Han is?" Jiang Baimian explained with a smile, not at all worried about being pointed at the gun.
"Have you found it?" The woman wearing the bull mask was a little surprised.
Jiang Baimian said "um":
"Song Alerter can testify."
The woman wearing the bull mask was silent for a few seconds, picked up the walkie-talkie, and reported the matter to Han Wanghuo.
Not long after, the sheriff took the initiative to come here.
He was dressed in black and did not wear a mask.
Having inspected Herwig's arms and the materials of the "Old Tune Team", Han Wanghuo, who was carrying a rifle and two "United 202s", asked directly:
"What do you want in exchange?"
"The town guard's military exoskeleton device." Jiang Baimian, wearing a delicate monk mask, replied calmly, "One can be delivered after this war is over."
Seeing Han Wanghuo frowning, she added with a smile:
"Anhebas has repented in the church and is willing to make more contributions to the Redstone Set against the next generation.
"When the situation calms down, you should be able to pass him to get a new military exoskeleton device. It may take a year and a half, but you can afford it, and we can't."
Han Wanghuo was silent for a while and said:
"I can't agree directly, I'll discuss it with others."
Jiang Baimian, who knew that he could not be the master of the Redstone Collection, expressed his understanding:
"Row.
"But please hurry up, we can wait, the murlocs won't wait."
Han Wanghuo nodded slightly and walked to the side.
After a few steps, he turned around and asked:
"Aren't you afraid of the town guard's forcible requisition, or even killing people and robbing goods?"
Jiang Baimian laughed.
But before she made an answer in line with her identity as the "ultimate villain", Shang Jianyao, who had already driven the jeep over, shouted loudly:
"We believe in you!"
Han Wangsuo was stunned for a moment, and after a while he said slightly bitterly:
"There are some things that I can't stop."
He stopped talking, walked to the side of the collapsed building, and used the walkie-talkie to communicate with several powerful figures in the town guard.
After ten minutes passed, he walked back to the all-terrain vehicle and said to Jiang Baimian and the others:
"make a deal."
"Happy cooperation." Jiang Baimian wanted to stretch out his right hand and shake the opponent, but considering the folk customs of Hongshiji, he gave up this plan.
Although she knew that Han Wanghuo was not a follower of the Vigilance sect, and shaking hands was not something to be concerned about, but the people in the surrounding Hongshiji town believed in "Yougu".
Don't be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of what happens!
Han Wanghuo sighed and talked about the specific plan:
"You give me the arms and supplies first, and distribute them. After the murlocs have been repelled and they have been severely damaged, we will hand over an 'AC-42' military exoskeleton device to you."
"No problem." Jiang Baimian didn't hesitate.
On the contrary, Han Wanghuo was a little uneasy, and he asked carefully:
"Aren't you afraid that we will lose the war with the next person, and even the two exoskeleton devices have fallen into their hands?"
What he really wants to ask is, is he not afraid of defaulting on his debts after the fact
Shang Jianyao was the first to answer again:
"We'll get it back."
He said it very confidently.
Jiang Baimian laughed and added to help:
"We can arm the debt collection."
Seeing that the other party was so confident, Han Wanghuo began to notify the members of the town guards in various places of the defense line, asking them to come over to collect new supplies at different times.
This is not to say that they are now out of guns and bullets, but they have to be prepared to fight for a long time with the help of the ruins of the city.
During the distribution of supplies, Han Wangwen looked at Jiang Baimian and others:
"Do you have anything else to do?"
Jiang Baimian had already planned, and asked with a smile:
"Do you want to hire mercenaries
"Just give food for a week, the main thing is we have to look at our property and not let it go missing."
She wanted to take this opportunity to give the group a new training so that they could have experience in dealing with similar situations in the future.
Han Wanghuo picked up the walkie-talkie again, walked to the previous position, and discussed with several subordinates in name.
This time, he returned quickly, nodded and said:
"it is good.
"You just follow me."
As soon as he was hired, Jiang Baimian immediately entered the state.
She glanced at the southeast direction and said:
"Captain Han, don't you think it's strange
"The murlocs and the mountain monsters haven't attacked yet, how long has it been?"
They all came here from the Vigilant Church in the north of the city, and the supplies they brought are almost finished.
On the way, they did not hear obvious gunshots and gunshots.
"This is also the reason for hiring you." Han Wanghuo said with a solemn expression, "The team that first discovered the Murloc Monster never came back."
The southeast corner of the ruined city was eerily silent.
