Means, who was rescued and recognized, was determined to repay, and immediately said to Shang Jianyao:
"If you really want to join our 'melting pot sect', then stop by Tarnan, and I will write a letter of trust for you to bring to Your Excellency Li Zhe, telling him your friendliness, sincerity and help provided."
Jian was where he was going to go, Jiang Baimian didn't take his eyes to stop Shang Jianyao, and let him play.
"Okay, okay." Shang Jianyao agreed without hesitation.
While speaking, he even took out a pen and paper, as if "quick, write now".
Means was a little confused. He wasn't talking politely just now, but everyone seemed to be communicating with each other. How could he just write now
Jiang Baimian resolved his embarrassment in time and asked instead:
"Apart from your 'Seaside Alliance', what other major forces are there in Tarnan?"
"No." Means answered almost without thinking, "Except that we are adjacent to the 'Mechanical Paradise', we have a good relationship, and we have obtained permission to enter. Other major forces either do not know the existence of Tarnan at all. Or it can only be traded through some small and medium forces recognized by 'Mechanical Paradise'."
For example, the Redstone Collection and the Weed City, which is relatively special within the "First City" sphere of influence? Jiang Baimian has a better understanding of the existence of the smuggling node of Hongshiji.
She smiled and said:
"'Machine Heaven' is still very careful."
"Actually, there is nothing special about Tarnan, except that there are more robots, machinery, and electronic products." Means didn't quite understand the reason why "Mechanical Paradise" did this.
At this time, the cold wind of woo ran through the valley, causing Means and several other members of the Shifang Trading Company to shiver.
Seeing this, Jiang Baimian said, "Oops":
"Really, patronizing and communicating with you, forget that you are all only wearing single clothes."
Their coats were taken by robbers while they were captives.
After speaking, Jiang Baimian pointed to the side with his chin:
"Fortunately, there is no shortage of clothes and supplies.
"Well, you buried the body, even if you paid for it."
There are many dead robbers in this area.
As for those who were seriously injured and would not die for a while, the "Old Tune Team" went all the way south, and the medical supplies began to be a little nervous, so they were considered dead.
Means had the idea of slapping the corpse's clothing just now, but he was too embarrassed to speak.
According to the rules of the area between "Mechanical Paradise" and "Seaside Alliance", they are all trophies, and only those who have contributed can enjoy them.
What he didn't expect was that the heroic and beautiful woman on the opposite side was not only willing to use the clothes on the corpse to help herself and others, but also gave extra supplies that the robbers couldn't take away when they fled in a hurry.
"This, this is impossible." Means hesitated for a while, but waved his hand.
This is not to say that he has a noble morality and is unwilling to take advantage of others, but that the team in front of him is powerful, and if he and others offend a little and behave badly, he might not be able to get out of this valley.
Jiang Baimian smiled:
"you are welcome.
"If you keep wearing it like this, you will freeze to death tonight, and you have no food, no vehicles, how will you go after that
"Uh, are those machines your cargo?"
She was referring to the laptops that filled one of the cars, thin, white or black, all gleaming with a glossy sheen.
"Yes." Means thought for a moment and said, "We'll be rude to the clothes, food, and car. There's really nothing we can do. If you take away those laptops, it will be our reward."
"It's too much." Jiang Baimian thought for a moment and said, "Follow the rules of the relic hunters. For such a task, we will take about 30% of the materials.
She didn't show generosity on purpose, because Lehman might have to gather supplies in exchange for equipment in the follow-up.
After intense "bargaining", the compensation was finally fixed at the figure of "forty percent".
At this point, Means was completely relieved, and beckoned his companions to the corpses.
Just as he bent down, he suddenly exclaimed:
"Just lost it? I really don't know how to cherish it!"
Shang Jianyao ran over and asked curiously:
"what?"
Means picked up a small blue cloth bag, the kind that could be held in one hand:
"My spice bag is full of good things!
"Except for our 'Linhai Alliance', where can we find so many spices.
"Those robbers thought it was gold, chips or high-performance batteries at first, and took it away."
Shang Jianyao asked with bright eyes:
"Do you use it when you eat?"
"Yes, some are used to boil the bottom of the pot, and some are used to prepare dipping sauces. Everyone chooses different combinations according to their own preferences." Means replied in a slightly sacred tone.
Seeing that nothing happened here, Jiang Baimian turned his attention to Long Yuehong:
"The exoskeleton device can be removed, and ordinary vigilance is enough."
Gotta save electricity!
It's not a sunny day today and they have a spare battery for the jeep.
When Long Yuehong removed the exoskeleton device with the help of Shang Jianyao, Jiang Baimian walked to Bai Chen's side, looked at the robbers crouching on the ground and said:
"Your bandit group is called 'Mountain Fox'?"
"Yes." "Yes." The robbers scrambled to answer.
"What's your boss' name?" Jiang Baimian used one hand to hold the "Reaper" bazooka, and the bandits, Mills and others were speechless for a while.
This power is not exaggerated, but it seems to be very relaxed.
A yellow-haired robber came back to his senses and quickly said:
"Panania."
"Will he come back to redeem you?" Jiang Baimian showed a slight smile.
Several robbers were silent for several seconds before answering unevenly:
"should."
"possible."
"perhaps."
They have all seen many unredeemed captives, and the final fate of those people is not very good: they are either killed directly, so as not to waste food, or they are taken as reserve food, or they are sold to human traffickers.
Jiang Baimian was noncommittal and asked instead:
"If you grab something, where will you trade it?"
"If you can go to Tarnan, you will go to Tarnan. Those robots are fair and trustworthy, and they will maintain order." The yellow-haired robber answered before all his companions.
When Jiang Baimian asked for information, Long Yuehong finally removed the exoskeleton device and put it back in the back seat of the jeep.
Then, he and Shang Jianyao exchanged positions, one carried an assault rifle and was in charge of vigilance, and the other went to the side of the creek to draw water, and used solar charging panels to burn them.
After the water boiled, Long Yuehong anxiously but patiently waited until the water temperature dropped a lot before pouring them into the water bags of herself and others.
After doing these things, he picked up the water bag and drank it.
At this moment, he felt that the water was so delicious and so addictive.
After drinking a small half bag in one breath, Long Yuehong wiped her mouth contentedly and looked around.
At this time, Means and others had buried the body, put on the robbers' coats, and wrapped themselves thickly.
While cooking with coal and other materials left by the robbers, they felt Long Yuehong's gaze.
After bowing his head and communicating for a while, Means walked over to Jiang Baimian and the others, and said with a smile:
"Want to eat together
"Those robbers left a sheep, some potatoes and a lot of ingredients."
The robbers came to this valley to prepare lunch.
Shang Jianyao first winked at Jiang Baimian, and then agreed directly:
"it is good."
"Just in time to see your communion." Jiang Baimian laughed along with him.
Long Yuehong subconsciously raised her hand and wiped the corner of her mouth, but she immediately remembered that she was not a businessman.
Next, Jiang Baimian and the others watched Means and others skillfully shave meat, take bones, boil soup, and sprinkle different spices.
At the end, the rich fragrance lingered on their nostrils, and no matter how the cold wind in the valley blew, it would not dissipate.
Seeing that his companions had almost processed the ingredients, Means asked Shang Jianyao and the others about the general taste, and took their lunch boxes, using soup as the base, with various carefully selected seasonings.
It didn't take long for Shang Jianyao to pick up a thin piece of mutton that had just been boiled, rolled it in his dipping sauce, and put it into his mouth.
"...good, delicious..." he complimented vaguely.
Long Yuehong was so moved that she immediately took a piece of mutton and put it into the iron pot from the robber.
At this time, a female employee of Shifang Trading Company stuffed the mutton she had just boiled into Long Yuehong's bowl.
"You try." She said with a smile.
"No, no." Long Yuehong suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
The female employees of Shifang Trading Company have been running around in the dust all year round, and they have the identity of hunters. Although they were molested by robbers before, they quickly adjusted and were no longer low.
They found that after the savior like "God descends to the world" was removed from the exoskeleton device, it was a young man, not short in height, with a clean face, and his goodwill was overwhelming, so while preparing lunch, they looked for various opportunities to strike up a conversation with Long Yuehong.
The more enthusiastic they were, the more cautious Long Yuehong became, and even wanted to ask why they didn't go to Shang Jianyao.
- At that time, Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian were both earnestly learning hot pot skills from Means, and they were not looking sideways.
The meat was already in the bowl, so Long Yuehong couldn't refuse any more. After dipping in some dipping sauce, he stuffed the piece of mutton into his mouth.
The tenderness of the meat, the salty taste of salt, and the wonderful feeling of mixing all kinds of spices burst out in Long Yuehong's mouth instantly, making him gobble up.
This lunch was enjoyed by the guests and the host. Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen most admired the boiled potato chips.
During this process, they also chatted with Means and others about the "Linhai Alliance", and learned that this major force has relatively sufficient supplies. Although the people at the bottom are still struggling, they are only better than the wilderness wanderers in small settlements. The middle class has begun to pay attention to clothing and food.
Means and the others finally escaped from the tiger's mouth, ate another meal, and got back most of the supplies. After the meal, they couldn't restrain their gratitude. They walked to the open space by the stream one after another and danced a dance in praise of the old age.
"It's quite pious..." Jiang Baimian just laughed, when he realized that Shang Jianyao had also gotten in at some point, and danced in a graceful manner.
