Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 214: those items

Views:

After the sky gradually brightened, Han Wanghuo put away the walkie-talkie and looked at Shang Jianyao and the others:

"They did retreat, and it's enough to leave some people in charge of vigilance and reconnaissance."

What he meant was that the war was temporarily over.

Although Jiang Baimian was wearing a mask, he still reached out to cover his mouth and yawned.

She put down the "Death" individual bazooka, stood up, and said with a smile:

"Then our employment contract is over?"

"If nothing else," Han Wangshou answered cautiously.

At this time, Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen also put away their weapons.

Jiang Baimian smiled and said:

"We will stay in the Redstone Collection for a few more days, and remember to make the final payment at that time."

This includes a military exoskeleton and a week's worth of food for four people.

"No problem." Han Wanghuo replied without hesitation.

In his opinion, if there were not these four "mercenaries" in this war, the Redstone Collection would likely have been wiped out.

Of course, the premise is that at the most critical time, the vigilant sect can't come up with a solution.

Jiang Baimian glanced at Shang Jianyao, who was so quiet that it was a little strange, and turned back to Han Wang and said:

"Then let's leave first, er, remember to inform us when the prisoners recover, I want to ask something."

Because a small number of wounded fell within the redstone defense line, there was no way for the next-person coalition to take them away when they retreated.

"Okay." Han Wanghuo still has this power.

After leaving the defense line and arriving at the parking place, Long Yuehong was a little dumbfounded.

The luck here is not very good. It seems that the artillery fire has been swept away. The glass of the khaki all-terrain vehicle is completely shattered, and the tires are deflated.

The Jeeps of the "Old Tune Group" were strong, with only a few traces being gained under the protection of thick armor, bulletproof glass, special tires and the vehicle next door.

"This car can't be driven..." Jiang Baimian glanced at it and said happily, "Fortunately it's not ours."

While speaking, she walked over to the jeep and opened the driver's door:

"Let me drive, Xiaobai stayed up all night, so you have to be careful."

"It's actually fine." With Jiang Baimian's insistence day after day, Bai Chen has completely accepted his nickname.

Shang Jianyao took the initiative to help Jiang Baimian "explain" and said:

"She's still a little excited."

"Huh." Jiang Baimian made a disdainful voice, "Alive? Why didn't you look so energetic just now? Are you hungry?"

It's time for breakfast.

Shang Jianyao replied seriously:

"I'm thinking about it."

"What's the problem?" Jiang Baimian regretted as soon as he said it.

She sat down quickly and started the car.

This did not stop Shang Jianyao, he said in the back row:

"How to let the people of Redstone Set live peacefully with murlocs and mountain monsters."

"... This is very difficult." Jiang Baimian was startled for a moment, then heaved a sigh of relief, "Even if you rely on the 'reasoning clown' to make them half-brothers and complete the circular argument, this effect will not last long. Yes, because you will eventually leave."

And if you don't rely on the ability of the Awakened, you just look at the corpses and the dark blood that dyed the ground red when you were cleaning the battlefield before, and think about how many times similar things have happened in the past, you should understand this. The difficulty of the matter breaks through the sky, and at least several generations of people have to make persistent efforts to resolve the hatred between each other.

After Shang Jianyao listened quietly, he sighed regretfully:

"It's a pity I can't separate out multiple 'me's and keep one here."

Is your point the same as what I'm trying to say? Jiang Baimian was speechless.

The thinking angles of the two sides are completely different from the same world.

Looking at the jeep walking through the ruins of the city, listening to the conversation between the team leader and Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong took off her mask and said with a rather complicated expression:

"A mountain monster said something to me before he died."

"Huh?" Jiang Baimian made a cooperative voice.

Long Yuehong truthfully told the answer of the mountain monster when he was dying and his own feelings.

After Jiang Baimian listened carefully, he half-smiled and half-sighed:

"Have you further realized the meaning of our work

"Only by figuring out the cause can we find a more effective way to cure this fucking world!"

As she spoke, her emotions fluctuated uncontrollably.

Shang Jianyao immediately smiled and said:

"So, are you going to save all mankind with me in the future?"

Jiang Baimian laughed:

"How can you miss something so meaningful

"We will save the world when we investigate the cause of the destruction of the old world and find the pathogenesis and treatment of 'no-heart disease'!"

Long Yuehong followed with a smile, and like Bai Chen, did not answer.

He felt he couldn't afford such a thing.

All he wants to do now is to take care of his life.

After finishing this topic, Jiang Baimian glanced at the rearview mirror:

"Take out all the items on that Murloc Awakener, why didn't I feel right when I looked at it before?"

"Shout 'hello'." Shang Jianyao emphasized.

"Ah?" Jiang Baimian couldn't keep up with his thoughts again.

Shang Jianyao explained seriously:

"Didn't you say it? His group name is Xiaohong, hers is Xiaobai, and mine is Hello."

"..." Jiang Baimian's expression under the mask changed again and again, both angry and funny.

At this time, out of the corner of her eyes, she saw that Bai Chen's side face muscles were slightly raised.

- Their masks are not full wraps, part of the face can be seen from the side.

"Are you laughing?" Jiang Baimian became angry.

Bai Chen pursed his lips tightly, neither admitting nor denying.

The atmosphere in the jeep was a little more cheerful because of this, and Shang Jianyao immediately took out dried dried fruit, some kind of grass roots, poorly packaged green sugar, and a few thick and long needles.

"What is this all about?" Jiang Baimian glanced back.

Is this an item carried by a powerful awakener

Bai Chen turned around and studied for a while before saying:

"This should be dried plums."

She pointed to the dark piece of dried fruit.

Of course, she did not dare to taste the unknown things directly with her mouth, but just picked it up and sniffed the smell.

Dried plums? Jiang Baimian suddenly felt that the secretion of saliva in his mouth increased.

As for what the grass roots and green candies are, they will not be able to figure out for a while.

And just like that, they drove the jeep to the fort-like vigilant church.

At this time, the alerter Song He had returned with the church armed.

Compared to the time of departure, the team was a few fewer people.

"I heard that you solved the murloc awakener?" Song He, who had just saluted the "Yougu" symbol, asked when he saw the four familiar masks entering the hall.

Jiang Baimian, who had already answered this question for the third time, gave a "um" and nodded.

Song He sighed and said:

"Without you, I would consider retreating to the church and letting Brand leave the room."

"I thought you were a hidden powerhouse." Shang Jianyao expressed regret.

Although I thought so too, don't say it... Jiang Baimian wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

Song He was stunned for a moment, but he was not angry, he smiled bitterly:

"I am afraid that the cost will increase, and I have never dared to continue to improve myself.

"Being able to obtain the gift of ageing is already very satisfying for me, and I can't ask for more."

Afraid... He also mentioned before that the older people are, the more timid they are... When Jiang Baimian was thinking about it, Shang Jianyao took out the pile of items on the Awakened Fishman, and sincerely asked:

"Do you know them?"

"Where did this come from?" Song He took a few steps forward and began to observe carefully.

"That murloc awakened." Shang Jianyao answered truthfully.

Song He became more focused, and after a while, he pointed to the shabby green candies and said:

"It's plum candy from United Industries, and the kids love it."

Sugar is also a luxury in large wilderness nomad settlements.

Plum candy? Jiang Baimian frowned slightly.

Song He continued to identify:

"This should be dried plum, this is needle, nothing to say.

"This, this, this is a plant rhizome from the nearby mountains and forests, we call it 'free food', it is slightly poisonous, it causes diarrhea, but it is very refreshing. When I was young, I followed them on wild hunting, if If you need to stay up all night waiting, you will chew a piece when you are the sleepiest."

"Eat for free" means to eat for free, as it will be pulled out quickly and even empty your stock.

After Jiang Baimian finished listening, he looked at Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong and others:

"Plum sugar, prunes, refreshing roots, thick and long needles, what do these mean?"

Shang Jianyao responded immediately:

"pregnant!"

"What does acupuncture have to do with pregnancy? Also, which pregnant woman would eat something that can cause diarrhea?" Jiang Baimian couldn't understand Shang Jianyao's brain circuit.

Shang Jianyao explained solemnly:

"I am prone to constipation during pregnancy.

"Needles are for sewing children's clothes."

Jiang Baimian could not find Shang Jianyao's flaw for a while.

This is an official member of the "Rite of Life" order.

"These should be used to refresh the mind." Bai Chen gave his thoughts at the right time, "Dried plums and plum sugar can give a certain stimulus to keep us awake for a short time. Acupuncture is also possible."

She once slapped herself several times in order to guard a prey, in order to prevent herself from falling asleep.

Jiang Baimian gave a "hmm" and glared at Shang Jianyao and said:

"The fact that the murloc Awakened carried so many things like that with him shows that he often needs to stay awake.

"The price he paid was getting sleepy? Getting tired easily?"

"Perhaps that's true." Song He, the alerter, agreed.

Taking this opportunity, Jiang Baimian introduced the main topic:

"Song Alerter, the murloc awakened had a mutation after he passed out..."

After she put the murloc awakened into a coma, she described the phenomenon of a strange breath coming out of her body, and a parasite-like thing under the skin squirming, focusing on mentioning that Shang Jianyao encountered an invisible barrier before several shots, and failed to hit on the target.

After Song He Jingjing listened, he pondered:

"You, do you want to ask what the hell is going on?"

Without waiting for Jiang Baimian to respond, he hesitated and said:

"I heard from the man who led me into the church that he is now a member of the Fear Bishops' Conference.

"He said that those powerful awakeners who have explored the depths of the 'Spiritual Corridor' can leave their own breath in the 'Spiritual Corridor' and even in the real world. This kind of breath can be combined with objects to produce wonderful and terrifying effects. Effect.

"I suspect that the murloc Awakener is combined with this breath, and he himself should not have entered the 'Spiritual Corridor'."
