It was late at night, the wind was bitter, the rain was bitter, and the entire Shuiwei Town seemed to have been swallowed by darkness, with only sporadic lights penetrating through it.
The previous noise, noise, and the smell mixed with various flavors quickly dissipated, making Shang Jianyao feel the quietness like being isolated from the world.
In the rain curtain around the wooden shed, several members of the town guard patrolled where they could shelter, while the others put on dark raincoats and large woven bags that had been prepared earlier, and walked back and forth on the wooden frame on the wall.
In the light from the bulbs, the rain is like pearls with broken threads, densely packed, one after another.
"There were originally two diesel generators here, but one of them was broken, and it couldn't be repaired. Well, for settlements in the wilderness, lack of electricity is not too serious a problem. Food, clothing, weapons and cleanliness Water is the most critical resource." Bai Chen said casually.
Jiang Baimian added with a smile:
"Can you speak louder? Well, food and clean water determine whether you can survive, clothes determine whether you will freeze to death or get sick, and weapons determine whether others will leave you food, Clothing and clean water."
She glanced left and right, and seeing the sound of rain, she clapped her hands and said:
"I'll repair the jeep tomorrow morning, and I'll have the first 'class' of this field training tonight.
"We need to replay the previous battle to sum up experience and lessons.
"Everyone must take themselves as the protagonist and describe their choices and experiences at that time. Bai Chen, you come first."
As a wilderness wanderer who has not participated in "Pangu Creatures" for a long time and has never participated in similar zipper training, Bai Chen did not expect that there would be such a thing as "post-war replay". He hesitated for a while, obviously not ready.
However, she did not resist this. She was able to live well in the wilderness for so many years. In addition to having certain helpers, she also often reflected on her mistakes and kept in mind her mistakes.
After organizing the language, she started from the first encounter with the part-time robber's relic hunter group, and reviewed every detail she remembered.
She was followed by Shang Jianyao, followed by Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong, and finally Jiang Baimian.
After Jiang Baimian finished speaking, he looked at Shang Jianyao and said:
"Your choice to take the initiative and shoot the two motorcyclists was decisive, but also reckless.
"if not… "
She paused and said:
"If it wasn't for your luck, you would most likely die."
Speaking of which, she smiled slightly:
"However, luck is also a part of strength. You have to balance the relationship between the two and try to make yourself more confident."
Shang Jianyao was a little dazed at first, and then nodded thoughtfully, expressing his approval of the team leader's words.
Long Yuehong felt that the last few words of Jiang Baimian were joking, and without thinking about it, she raised the biggest doubt in her heart with a frown:
"Team leader, you just said that the bandit leader wearing the exoskeleton device was finally killed by us because he made a mistake in his judgment and was not careful enough.
"Then, if a person wearing an exoskeleton-like device didn't make such a big mistake, how should we deal with him?"
Jiang Baimian looked at Long Yuehong:
"Why do you think there is a way to deal with it
"Don't make a big mistake, it shows that people who wear exoskeleton devices are quite experienced, and their physical fitness is not a problem. Such people cooperate with exoskeleton devices, even on the real battlefield, they are big killers, and they are the elite of the elite.
"How can we deal with such an enemy when we have few people, no heavy weapons, only a grenade gun, and have no chance to use it? Are you underestimating military-grade exoskeleton devices?"
"Well, doesn't that mean..." Only then did Long Yuehong realize that he was really walking on the edge of hell before.
Jiang Baimian looked around and said:
"The best time to deal with such an enemy is before he puts on the exoskeleton.
"If you don't take this opportunity, get ahead of him and 'race' him. Military-grade exoskeletons won't be much faster than high-speed jeeps, some models are even slower, and they have endurance. worse.
"Unfortunately, we encountered a change in the terrain and fought a battle with the Black Marsh Iron Snake. We did not have the favorable conditions in all aspects, and we could almost say that we were in a desperate situation. If it wasn't for that guy who was afraid, at the beginning Obviously reluctant to waste too much energy, reluctant to destroy the spoils, calculated too clearly, we will die in the first round of attack half, maybe more."
Long Yuehong's face turned pale when she heard this, and she had a deeper understanding of the danger of dust. Shang Jianyao and Bai Chen listened intently, clearly aware that Jiang Baimian had not finished speaking.
Jiang Baimian made an "uh" sound:
"Before Shang Jian Yao kills the motorcyclist and angers that guy, I have two options.
"One is to surrender immediately to shorten the distance. As long as I can enter a certain range, even if I am seriously injured by them and cannot move, I have the means to counterattack."
Having said this, she sneered:
"The biggest problem with this plan is that Bai Chen and I have a lot of hope of surviving and becoming prisoners, at least for a short time, and the two of you are likely to be shot directly, unless one of them prefers male of."
The expressions of Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong instantly became quite complicated.
Seeing their reaction, Jiang Baimian said in a good mood:
"The second plan is to use the guy's scruples and fear of hands and feet to design a trap so that he can't escape in advance, and as long as he doesn't escape in advance, I'm pretty sure he won't be protected if I hit him. Getting up is critical."
"What kind of trap?" Long Yuehong blurted out.
Jiang Baimian looked at him for two seconds, then spread his hands and said:
"Not ready yet."
"..." Long Yuehong and Shang Jianyao's facial muscles twitched vaguely.
Jiang Baimian was instantly "infuriated":
"It happened so suddenly, how could you think about it so quickly
"When I was still thinking, things changed, I don't need to waste my brain power anymore!"
She then turned her head and looked at Bai Chen who was listening quietly:
"Do you have anything to add?"
Bai Chen thought for a while and said:
"The purpose of most robbers in the wilderness is to loot supplies, not kill.
"If there is really no way, I will consider giving up the jeep and the supplies inside, such as letting the vehicle rush into the swamp without a driver to attract their attention, and then take the opportunity to hide in the swamp in the other direction.
"In many places in the Great Swamp, people can barely walk, but those wearing exoskeleton devices can't, and the weight exceeds the standard."
After listening, Jiang Baimian nodded with satisfaction:
"Yes, this is the different thinking angles of the wilderness wanderer and the person born with the great power when dealing with the same thing.
"Did you learn?"
Papapa, Shang Jianyao clapped his hands without losing time, and even Long Yuehong subconsciously clapped.
What am I doing... Long Yuehong reacted quickly and responded embarrassedly:
"I learned it, but it has to be digested and absorbed slowly."
After replaying the battle during the day, the four of them were grouped according to yesterday's group, and two teams took turns to be on guard.
Because it just rained, it was much colder than last night, and Tian Erhe provided limited charcoal for free. They took out thick cotton coats from the trunk and wrapped them around them.
The rain is rushing, washing everything in the dark night that covers everything, and it stops completely until the sky is getting brighter.
Shuiwei Town has a mature and perfect drainage system, and there is no water accumulation, but the ground is wet, and some of the soil has become muddy.
Bai Chen drank water, ate the compressed biscuits, and began to replace parts for the jeep, making repairs that were not too difficult.
At this time, Tian Erhe paced over in the early morning mist and asked with a smile:
"Baby girl, can you fix it
"If it can be repaired, we will receive light machine guns and motorcycles."
"Okay." Bai Chen didn't look back, raised his hand to signal.
Tian Erhe immediately greeted the surrounding town guard members:
"Come on, get that machine gun.
"Oh, I feel like you've given too much. Otherwise, I'll add another tent for you?"
"Okay." Jiang Baimian had no opinion.
At this time, Tian Erhe saw the black marsh iron snake skin on the roof of the jeep.
"This..." His eyes widened, "what did you do?"
When the jeep came over yesterday, the sky was already dark because of the dark clouds. They didn't see what was tied to the roof of the car. They thought it was a black tent.
Following Tian Erhe's gaze, the surrounding town guard members saw the snakeskin that gave a strong sense of oppression.
"Black Swamp Iron Snake..." Someone whispered the nightmarish name.
Jiang Baimian laughed softly:
"This guy is so big, we can only peel off the skin."
The people in Shuiwei Town fell silent, and Jiang Baimian was a little embarrassed by the silence.
It's okay for her to be idle. She looked at the town that was getting lively and asked tentatively:
"Mayor, can we walk around and take a look?"
"Okay, where do you want to go, I'll take you?" Tian Erhe lifted the hat on his head, "How about, go to the classroom? Are you not very interested in our classroom?"
Under the clear morning light, the wrinkles on his face became more striking and deep.
"Okay." Jiang Baimian turned to Shang Jianyao and said, "Follow me. Long Yuehong, help Bai Chen look around."
Shang Jianyao did not refuse, and followed Jiang Baimian and Tian Erhe to the three buildings in the shape of "pin".
On the way, they passed through areas where various houses were built in a chaotic manner. They saw holes in some walls, which could only be blocked with wood and hay. A certain tent became wet in the rain last night, and it seemed to seep a little water. I saw people with yellow faces, thin skin and tattered clothes running to different places.
After passing through here, it is the small square made of cement. The flagpole on the flag-raising platform is still there, but the flag is gone.
Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian followed Tian Erhe, bypassing the building in front, entering the building on the left of the two buildings in the rear, and going up to the third floor.
There is an aisle with guardrails on one side, and houses divided into small rooms on the other side, with sufficient light and good ventilation.
After walking a few steps, Tian Erhe led the two to stop in front of a fairly large room.
Through the bright and clean glass windows, Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian saw a dozen or 20 tables and chairs inside. The aisle was narrow and the space was small.
At this time, a dozen or twenty half-old children under the age of ten were wearing all kinds of tattered and not clean clothes, sitting behind tables and chairs, looking up at the podium, and listening intently to the teacher's lecture.
Some of their bodies were trembling slightly, as if they were not used to the cold of the morning.
There were men and women, and they all looked different, but they all had straight backs and sat upright.
Shang Jianyao glanced over and saw the timetable they posted on the wall:
"Morning exercise...Common sense...Chinese...Math...History..."
"This is a middle-grade student." Tian Erhe introduced in a low voice, as if he didn't want to disturb the children inside.
Jiang Baimian watched intently for a few seconds, then said "um":
"Let's go, don't disturb them."
After visiting Shuiwei Town with Tian Erhe, the two returned to the wooden shed. At this time, Bai Chen had repaired the jeep.
Because there is not enough food in Shuiwei Town, and meat is even more scarce, Jiang Baimian did not try to trade again, and said to Tian Erhe Road:
"Mayor, we have to go."
Tian Erhe nodded lightly:
"Hope to see you again."
"Well." Jiang Baimian nodded with a smile.
"Yes." Bai Chen responded at the same time.
They quickly packed their belongings and got into the jeep. This time, it was opened by Jiang Baimian.
When the jeep slowly drove towards the gate with the barbed wire, Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong and others once again looked at the area where the buildings were dense and chaotic.
The townspeople there have gone to the fields or out hunting, and only a few remain at home.
This made the place even more tattered and decayed.
In the wordless silence, Shang Jianyao and the others suddenly heard a neat and immature voice from the deepest building:
"The bright moonlight in front of the bed,
"Suspected of frost on the ground.
"Look up at the bright moon,
"Look down and think of your hometown."
