A corpse was thrown high and far into the swamp ahead, splashing countless mud spots.
It is embedded in the dark and soft surface, sinking down inch by inch.
There are two similar scenes next to it, but they are buried deeper in the mud.
Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong stared for a few seconds, then withdrew their gazes, turned and walked towards the jeep.
Jiang Baimian didn't ask who came to ride the heavy motorcycle first, he put on the corresponding helmet and straddled it.
Carrying a miniature submachine gun, she turned her head to look at Shang Jianyao and the others, and said with a smile:
"I wanted to get one a long time ago, but never had the chance."
Before she finished speaking, she twisted the accelerator, causing the heavy motorcycle to make a low and violent roar.
Jiang Baimian crouched down. Although it was the first time to ride, the shape was still quite professional.
The roar became louder and louder, and the heavy motorcycle rushed out like an arrow, along the edge of the swamp, and ran into the distance.
"The romance of steel and fuel..." Long Yuehong whispered enviously, "and freedom and wind."
In the sound of the boom, the heavy motorcycle turned back and stopped not far away.
Jiang Baimian put his feet on the ground, pulled up the visor of his helmet, and laughed twice:
"This, that, Bai Chen, which way should I go?"
Bai Chen looked down at his scarf and responded loudly:
"You follow the jeep."
"Ah? What did you say?" Jiang Baimian raised his hand and touched his ear, but it was blocked by the helmet.
She didn't change her smile, pulled back her mask, and rode the heavy motorcycle back to the jeep, as if she had made a decision by herself.
Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong got into the car one after another, Bai Chen sat back in the driving position and started the jeep.
In this way, they traveled in the Black Marsh wilderness at a relatively low speed, changing directions from time to time and drilling around.
During this process, Jiang Baimian repeatedly used reconnaissance as an excuse to ride the motorcycle, leave the team, and gallop to different places.
After nearly two hours, Bai Chen stopped the jeep, who seemed a little overwhelmed.
She pushed open the car door and said to Jiang Baimian who had just whizzed back from afar:
"Team leader, it's almost time for that settlement."
Jiang Baimian put one foot on the ground, pulled up the mask and said:
"Do you have any idea?"
Bai Chen touched the rough skin on his face:
"I'm worried that we're going to overreact to the wilderness wanderers in the settlement, and they're always very vigilant about that.
"Why don't you wait here, I'll ride a motorcycle over there, make contact, and then come back to lead you over? If they don't let us in, then I'll try to trade outside."
Jiang Baimian nodded lightly and said:
"Our firepower is really scary."
The black marsh iron snake skin strapped to the top of the jeep is even more daunting.
She got out of the car immediately, parked the motorcycle, took off the helmet, and handed it to Bai Chen.
After watching Bai Chen's back disappear into the sparse woodland ahead, Jiang Baimian opened the door of the jeep and sat in the driving position.
"Would you like one?" She smiled and picked up the simple cigarette in the armrest.
This is the loot obtained earlier.
The roasted yellow and black tobacco leaves exuded an unspeakable fragrance.
"No." Long Yuehong and Shang Jianyao shook their heads at the same time.
"You two, this is a luxury!" Jiang Baimian put down the simple cigarette, "I don't know how many people who have been on the battlefield are crazy about it. It can relax their spirits and not overwhelm themselves. Just as alcoholic beverages can make people forget a lot of unpleasant things that they don't want to recall, hey, many people are only happy when they are drunk."
"That's not true happiness." Shang Jianyao sang suddenly. (Note 1)
"Yo, I'm still singing." Jiang Baimian opened his mouth slightly and scolded with laughter.
Shang Jianyao nodded seriously and said:
"I like music."
"But the lyrics don't seem right..." Jiang Baimian rubbed the metal device in his ear.
Shang Jianyao said as if discussing an academic issue:
"The lyrics can be modified to fit the current scene, which helps in better expression."
"..." Jiang Baimian waved his hand, "This is not the point, I almost forgot what I was going to say after being interrupted by you!"
She exhaled angrily:
"I brought up cigarettes to bring up the topic of war trauma.
"Although the battle you have just experienced has not reached this level, it is also necessary to pay attention. Whether it is cigarettes, alcohol, or even controlled drugs, it is not a good response, and it is easy for you to develop serious dependence. And it's not good for the body.
"If you are too tense, stressed, anxious, irritable, or have difficulty concentrating, you can chat with me at any time. I have taken some psychological courses."
"Yes, team leader!" Long Yuehong responded loudly, "Just now, on the way, Bai Chen actually asked us to talk about this. I feel much better now."
"Not bad." Jiang Baimian praised, "Since the above approved the establishment of this old-fashioned group, the most correct thing I have done is to pass Bai Chen's application, tsk, my vision is good, right?"
Without waiting for Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong to respond, she leaned on the driver's seat and turned her eyes slightly:
"Bai Chen doesn't know when he will be able to come back. If he is idle, he will be idle. Let me tell you some things that I haven't told you before."
Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong immediately sat upright, as if they were still in school.
Jiang Baimian laughed lowly:
"Don't be so focused! Be distracted and pay attention to the outside! Are you not afraid that a rocket will fly from somewhere and take us all in one pot
"Okay, back to the topic. Didn't I say it before? Above the dust, except for a very few creatures, the most dangerous enemy of mankind is always mankind.
"So, which human beings are dangerous
"Long Yuehong, what do you think?"
Long Yuehong recalled and said:
"People wearing exoskeletons."
In the previous battle, he was impressed by the role of the military exoskeleton device.
He even suspected that it would be one of the sources of his nightmares.
"Yes, you can also add people wearing bionic intelligent armor. These two kinds of people can deal with a team alone, and even wipe out a small settlement of wanderers in the wilderness." Jiang Baimian turned his attention to Shang Shang. Jian Yao, "What do you think there are?"
"Teams with heavy weapons, teams with outstanding firepower, and people who have installed specific types of biological prosthetics or have done corresponding mechanical and electronic modifications." Shang Jianyao said three things in one breath.
Jiang Baimian nodded lightly:
"really."
She stroked her left arm with her right hand and said:
"It has brought me a great improvement, but it is still the original one, you should cherish it!"
She immediately added:
"In addition, there are monks from the monk sect, and genetic improvers. You may not know that in many forces, people like you are called 'the Chosen One'."
"Why?" Long Yuehong asked in astonishment.
Jiang Baimian laughed:
"You have too much contact with each other, and you are too, so you can't appreciate the preciousness of this technology.
"Among all the forces, only our company and the 'White Knights' can stably do genetic improvement and produce the corresponding stock solution.
"Think about it, a person who is tall, strong, fast, quick in reaction, strong in coordination, strong in balance, strong in immunity, strong in self-healing, extremely energetic, has excellent eyesight, and is not low in firearms talent. For ordinary people, isn't it like the darling of God? Isn't it synonymous with danger
"However, don't be in a hurry to be proud. Some forces extremely reject genetic technology, believing that this is a blasphemy against nature, heaven and gods, and is the main reason for the destruction of the old world."
Jiang Baimian took a breath and continued:
"And stronger than genetic improvers are people who have been genetically modified. They often have some abilities that humans do not have. In this regard, those who have been distorted by pollution also have similar performance. I even saw The second person who can complete photosynthesis by himself without food for three months.
"However, the technology of genetic modification is still very immature, and the failure rate and death rate are quite high. You should not try it lightly."
The subhumans themselves are normal human beings, but in the cataclysm of the destruction of the old world, they were polluted and distorted.
Although a large number of them died completely not long after being contaminated, some still survived and passed on their aberrations to their offspring.
These people were discriminated against by normal human beings, expelled from the settlement, and degradingly referred to as "subhumans".
This time people inevitably hated normal human beings because of their physical changes and similar encounters, always carrying an insoluble resentment, and the two sides gradually developed into mortal enemies.
Under such circumstances, the title "second person" really spread on the dust and became a "scientific name".
In the new calendar era, many years after the destruction of the old world, there is still strong pollution in some places, and the distortion has not disappeared from human beings, but a new subhuman is still being created.
Of course, most of the subhumans today are the result of natural reproduction.
"There is such a second person..." Long Yuehong knew what a second person was, but had never heard of the kind of second person Jiang Baimian described.
Jiang Baimian gave a "hmm", glanced at Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong respectively, and said nonchalantly:
"In addition to the ones just mentioned, there is another kind of person who can be called dangerous, or even very dangerous."
"What kind of person is he?" Long Yuehong was very curious, as was Shang Jianyao.
Those mentioned before, the two of them have more or less learned about it in the textbook and training, but no one has put the corresponding content together from the perspective of "dangerous human beings".
Jiang Baimian lowered his head and smiled:
"Awakened."
"Awakened..." Long Yuehong and Shang Jianyao whispered and repeated.
Jiang Baimian raised his head, looked at the two and said:
"Awakened refers to humans who have strange mutations for some reason, and they all have some weird and terrifying abilities.
"Some people once thought that the abilities of some awakened people should be described as funny, but later, it turned out that no matter how funny the ability is, in the right scene, it will become very scary.
"So far, no force has figured out the law of the generation of Awakened, and all experiments to artificially create Awakened have failed. Therefore, the number of Awakened is very rare, and it is not easy to encounter. I didn't rush to tell it before. you.
"Ah, yes, this is knowledge that needs to be kept secret."
Long Yuehong asked worriedly:
"Team leader, you say that the Awakened is so strong. If you encounter it, how should you deal with it?"
Shang Jianyao was silent and did not speak.
Jiang Baimian smiled and said:
"Except for a small number of very powerful Awakeners, most Awakeners have a limited range of abilities, and the range is not large.
"Based on this, if you encounter them, try to distance yourself first and use a gun to solve the problem remotely."
"Is that so..." Long Yuehong began to imagine the corresponding scene.
Shang Jianyao nodded lightly, as if thinking about something.
Seeing this, Jiang Baimian added:
"Also, don't just pay attention to these dangerous humans. Our bodies are too fragile. If you are careless, children of seven or eight years old have the opportunity to kill us."
…
Bai Chen rode a heavy motorcycle, and after detouring for a while, he went deep into the swamp along a seemingly soft road.
Ten minutes later, a small red dot appeared on the road in front of her.
Slightly swaying red dots.
This is a warning.
Note 1: Quoted from "You Are Not Really Happy" by Mayday. Originally, in order to prevent harmony, I made this book completely empty, but sometimes, in order to arouse resonance, I still quote and adapt some realistic poems or lyrics, so that after everyone sees it, the corresponding melody and lyrics can be generated in their minds. screen. This is necessary for later scenarios.
