Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 291: good day

Views:

Almost simultaneously, the guards hiding at the entrance to the redstone set saw the mask and recognized the jeep.

Their bodies stiffened for two seconds, following the dogma of vigilance, withdrawing their weapons, hiding themselves more concealed, and having no intention of saying hello at all.

Shang Jianyao was not surprised at all, he got back into the car and introduced Genova:

"This is the folk custom here, do you want to put on a mask too?"

Genova couldn't analyze the quality of the matter, so he could only answer vaguely:

"let me consider it."

"He only needs to wear sunglasses." Jiang Baimian offered his opinion while driving the jeep into the redstone collection. "And the clothes have to be changed."

Genova is still wearing that dark green military uniform.

And this belongs to Tarnan's robot guard.

"Are there any clothes sellers here?" Because Shang Jianyao and the others wore masks, Genava didn't feel that changing clothes was discriminating against him.

"You don't have to be so particular about it. Take off your jacket and just wear the shirt inside. When you get a chance, you can buy a few more sets to replace." Jiang Baimian said thoughtfully.

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly had a strange thought:

Will Genova ask if the pants are to be worn

Fortunately, Genova did not doubt this question, moved the neck made of metal and said:

"it is good."

As he spoke, he took off his jacket.

Well, there is still a difference between an intelligent robot and an ordinary robot. You don't have to ask everything, you have to explain everything... Jiang Baimian muttered to himself, found a familiar parking space, and parked the jeep.

After entering the redstone set, before Genava could scan the layout and structure, Shang Jianyao rushed to an advertising box from the old world and knocked it.

As the voice echoed, the box door opened, revealing the members of the town guard with a submachine gun inside.

His mask was lifted to the top of his head, and he was a typical gray man.

"You are not cautious enough." Shang Jianyao pointed out.

He looked very familiar to both of them.

The town guard member replied slightly aggrieved:

"If I hide inside and put on a mask, I won't be able to breathe."

"Yes." Shang Jianyao expressed his understanding.

He turned to ask:

"Who can get more high-performance batteries?"

The town guard member quietly breathed a sigh of relief:

"Mr. DiMarco's housekeeper Ulrich, he is in charge of 'Visa Trading' energy-related matters.

"Also, Anhebas also has a channel, and maybe there is still inventory."

High-performance batteries are classified in the energy field in the smuggling industry, and although Anhebas "contributed" a batch of arms to Shang Jianyao, they are actually closer to energy merchants.

- He sells weapons to mountain monsters, but also for the coal business.

"Very good!" Shang Jianyao smiled.

He then asked a new question:

"Who are the sheriff and the captain of the town guard now?"

"Captain Tan Jie Tan," the town guard member answered truthfully.

"Oh, he." Shang Jianyao nodded happily, "I just like the way he doesn't express his swear words."

This... Long Yuehong suddenly felt that Shang Jianyao's performance today was more exaggerated than before.

He couldn't help but muttered:

"What happened to him today?"

Jiang Baimian touched his ear and said solemnly:

"Perhaps now it's a show-type businessman."

"Uh..." Long Yuehong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

It's all a pot of old world episodes!

"I feel like he's coming home." Genova gave his evaluation.

"It's all his brothers." Jiang Baimian explained without thinking.

Bai Chen said in a low voice:

"The Effects of Old World Entertainment Materials..."

At this time, Shang Jianyao has changed several topics, for example, has anyone from "Mechanical Paradise" come over recently.

He finally asked:

"Who is the new bishop?"

The town guard replied:

"Bishop Antoniola, looks strong."

Jiang Baimian took a few steps forward and asked:

"Did he come alone?"

"No." The member of the town guard shook his head, "There are also Lord St. Sigmund the Bishop of Fear and other clerics, but they left after they went to the island in the heart of the lake, which is what you have been there. that."

"Did they get anything back? Has there been any change in Lake Heart Island?" This is what Jiang Baimian wanted to ask.

"I don't know." The town guard member thought for a while and said he didn't know, "Anyway, we are prohibited from approaching the island in any form. What is there to prohibit? How dare we go to the lake when there are murlocs. Heart?"

Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian asked about other things, and they roughly grasped the current situation of Hongshiji.

Aside from the appointment of a new bishop, the most notable change is that Mrs. Teresa, Herwig's widow, has become a figure of some standing here.

The previous arms dealer, Lehman, had also left, and it is said that his face was ashen when he left.

After the exchange, the "old tune group" went to the Kaisha Hotel and booked three rooms with cans, energy bars, and compressed biscuits.

It was a lot more expensive than the last time they stayed, and the hotel owner explained:

"You are bringing the robot this time, and you must often need to charge it. This is the electricity bill charged in advance."

This sentence hits the weak spot of the "old-tone group".

They have tons of high-performance batteries waiting to be recharged!

-Gnavar now only has a spare battery to use, and the military exoskeleton device has never been worn since Long Yuehong last took it off.

Hotel camp.

Jiang Baimian distributed the electronic card:

"Me and Shang Jianyao have a room, Xiaobai and Xiaohong have a room, and Lao Ge has a room for you."

Long Yuehong and others have long been accustomed to this plan and did not express any objection. Only Genova hesitated and asked:

"Are you two couples?"

"Cough..." Long Yuehong choked on the saliva and coughed.

Jiang Baimian looked at Genava and smiled:

"Why do you think so?"

"Why don't couples want the opposite sex to live in the same room?" Genova raised his doubts.

Shang Jian Yao smiled.

He tapped Genova on the shoulder:

"Old Ge, your view is too pedantic.

"There are many combinations among human groups. It is not only men and women who can be called lovers, but also women and girls, men and women, neither men nor women, half male and half female..."

He pulled farther and farther, until Jiang Baimian glared at him.

"In addition." Shang Jianyao's conversation changed, "Who and who lives in the same room as our 'old-tone group' depends only on actual needs. Think about it, who of the two can restrain me? I sneaked out in the middle of the night and did it. Bad things, they may not even notice."

Huh, are you proud? Jiang Baimian was both angry and funny.

Genova thought for a moment:

"I understand that."

He turned to ask:

"Why do you have to sneak out in the middle of the night to do bad things?"

Shang Jianyao pondered for a few seconds and solemnly replied:

"Brained."

Before Genova asked what it meant, Jiang Baimian said with a smile:

"Old Ge, it's rude of you to ask if it's a couple so directly just now. Look, it makes them both very uncomfortable."

Obviously, only Long Yuehong was uncomfortable, and Bai Chen was calm, not taking it seriously.

Genavana's slightly synthetic voice revealed a bit of sincerity:

"Actually, I know it's not too polite, but didn't you say it? You don't need to care so much about your companions. And I also want to improve the cognition system of human society and your carbon-based people as soon as possible, so as to survive for the individuals in the future. And lay the foundation for going it alone.

"This is also what you teach, see more, ask more, listen more, and experience more."

Jiang Baimian laughed:

"The truth is that it's true, but you can change it to a more polite way, for example, ask me in private, not in front of them."

"Is that so..." Granava responded with a tone he had learned again.

Next, they went back to their rooms, rested for a while, and then got together to prepare dinner.

Among them, Genova's "food" is a high-performance battery that is being charged.

At this moment, they felt that there was some commotion on the other side of the hotel camp.

"What happened?" Long Yuehong cast her eyes outside the door suspiciously.

Shang Jianyao put down the things in his hand and walked out.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, they saw a group of people gathered in the distance, not knowing what they were doing.

"I'll go take a look." Shang Jian Yao informed and approached curiously.

Jiang Baimian, Bai Chen, Long Yuehong, and Genava looked at each other, closed the door, and walked over there.

After getting closer, they could see the situation on the opposite side:

There were forty or fifty young men and women over there, their faces were fairly clean, and their clothes were tattered.

Long Yuehong glanced at it, and even saw the old cotton shoes with the toes drilled out, and the down jacket with several large holes.

These men and women ranged in age from fifteen to sixteen to twenty-three or four. There were seven or eight men with guns standing around them, and their appearances were more polished.

The man suspected of being the leader of the gunmen was shouting:

"I know that you have suffered a lot in the past, or you would not have been sold to me and become slaves.

"But now, your good days are coming soon!"

The forty or fifty young men and women listened with a slightly numb expression, but they seemed to be looking forward to it.

The slave trader continued:

"Think about it, if I didn't find a good place for you, I would let you live in a hotel? This redstone set is full of abandoned houses, where can I put you

"Hehe, in two or three days, you will be able to enter the 'underground ark', where even the lowest servants can have enough to eat, free clothes, and sleep at least six hours a day. Sick and a doctor can see.

"Although you will always live in the underground castle, don't worry about the plague, don't worry about robbers, troops and other homeless people, don't worry about being attacked by wild beasts, if you behave well enough, maybe you can become a steward and be sent work on the ground...

"Anyway, you have to receive good training when the time comes, and strive to become the servants of Mr. Dimarco..."

Listening to what he said, the faces of the forty or fifty men and women gradually brightened.

There seemed to be some kind of light flickering in those pair of black and white eyes.

Their toes spewing out of their cotton shoes and their swollen and swollen fingers moved involuntarily.

At this moment, only one sentence echoed in Long Yuehong's mind:

"DiMarco is a very brutal person."
