After Jiang Baimian's left index finger was inserted into the hole in Jingfa's neck, the metal body of the mechanical monk seemed to have lost its electrical power and froze beside the passenger seat.
At the same time, Bai Chen let go of his right foot on the accelerator, fell to his side, and tried to pick up the grenade gun Jiang Baimian put on his leg for the first time.
Seeing this scene, Long Yuehong and Shang Jianyao also reacted almost in no particular order:
Long Yuehong quickly raised the "Berzy Warrior" assault rifle on his body and aimed at the back of Jingfa's head;
Shang Jianyao leaned forward slightly, and his eyes suddenly became dark:
"Zen master, look..."
As soon as he said these four words, he saw Jiang Baimian's body suddenly paralyzed to the passenger seat.
Her left hand was soft and drooping, detaching from Jingfa's neck, her eyes were confused, and she murmured strange words in her mouth:
"Who am I... what am I doing here..."
Snapped!
The mechanical monk Jingfa's body then returned to normal. He pressed down, stretched his left hand forward, and squeezed Bai Chen's neck so hard that she couldn't pick up the grenade gun.
when! when!
The bullet shot by Long Yuehong accurately hit the back of Jingfa's head, but it only splashed scattered sparks and made two small depressions.
Not only that, the bounced bullets almost hit Long Yuehong's face, and they rubbed the C-pillar of the jeep and flew out of the window.
The pupils of Shang Jianyao, who witnessed all this, were dilated, but he still quickly said the prepared words smoothly:
"You have a human consciousness, and I have a human consciousness."
Jingfa put one knee on the armrest box, pinched Bai Chen's neck, turned his head, and looked at Shang Jianyao.
Perhaps it was because Shang Jianyao had been asking questions and communicating amicably before, or because Shang Jianyao was not a woman, the mechanical monk did not stop him immediately, but just stared at him with bright red eyes.
Shang Jianyao continued to speak very quickly:
"You are the Awakened,
"I am also an Awakened.
"so… "
When Long Yuehong heard the words, she turned her head in surprise, and the confusion in Jiang Baimian's eyes recovered a little.
The red light released from Jingfa's eyes flashed for a while, and soon returned to calm.
His cold and emotionless voice sounded hesitantly:
"So, let's get along well?"
"Yes!" Shang Jianyao nodded heavily.
Jingfa hesitated for two seconds, and finally released the left palm that was holding Bai Chen's neck.
At this time, Jiang Baimian seemed to have gotten rid of the weird state just now, and looked back and forth between Shang Jianyao and Jingfa in amazement and confusion.
Just when she was about to pick up the grenade gun quietly, regardless of whether the explosion would affect herself and others, she saw Shang Jianyao shaking his head twice in a row.
If Jiang Baimian realized something, he took his hands away from the grenade gun.
At the same time, she tightly closed her mouth and did not make a sound, so as not to let Jingfa divert her attention.
During this process, she put her right index finger upright against her mouth, signaling Bai Chen not to do anything.
Shang Jianyao kept looking at Jingfa and said very sincerely:
"Zen Master, we appreciate your kindness.
"Send you a thousand miles, there will be a farewell, why don't you just say goodbye here?"
Jingfa thought for a while, then shook his head up and down and said:
"it is good."
Shang Jianyao immediately turned sideways, opened the car door, and walked down first to get out of the way.
Jingfa did not stay, and quickly got out of the jeep.
From the beginning to the present, Long Yuehong always forgets to close her mouth, as if she is dreaming.
This is so weird and ridiculous!
Jingfa, who got out of the car, was about to fold his palms, and Shang Jianyao stretched out his right hand first.
Jingfa hesitated for a second, and also stretched out his right palm.
A flesh-colored human palm, a huge palm made of a black metal skeleton, was held together like this.
Shang Jianyao gently shook his palm twice and took it back.
He then sat back in the back of the Jeep and closed the door.
Seeing Jingfa, the mechanical monk still stood there, not moving, Shang Jianyao raised his right hand again, and shook it left and right across the open car window.
"Goodbye!" he shouted earnestly.
Jingfa, who was wearing a monk's robe and cassock, responded quickly, shaking his palm:
"goodbye."
No need for Shang Jianyao to remind him, Bai Chen, who had already sat back in the driving position, kicked the accelerator and made the jeep gallop.
Jiang Baimian didn't speak, and didn't let Bai Chen make a sound. He just watched the mechanical monk in the yellow robe and red cassock in the rearview mirror getting smaller and farther away.
When he could no longer see this extremely terrifying member of the monk sect, Jiang Baimian silently calculated the distance and asked in a low voice:
"How long can this effect last?"
Shang Jianyao didn't need to worry about anything, and answered calmly:
"If the people around him, the events and circumstances around him keep feeding him the same answers, he will remain unaware until the opposite argument or result is discovered.
"But right now, no one else around him tells him that we are friendly, so there is no circular proof. Five minutes or less, he should be able to detect the anomaly, after all, he must remember that we were in our team. There are two women, and he knows very well what his attitude towards women is."
Long Yuehong's mouth has not been closed until now. Listening to Shang Jianyao's explanation is like listening to the host of a radio show telling a story.
Jiang Baimian did not talk nonsense, and immediately turned his head and said:
"Bai Chen, stop, let's change positions."
"Team leader, I'm more familiar with the Black Marsh wilderness." Bai Chen strove to reason, and stepped on the brakes without resistance and quite softly.
Jiang Baimian did not rush to explain, but opened the door first, went around to the driver's seat, and exchanged positions with Bai Chen.
When the jeep started again, she looked ahead and said:
"I did genetic modification and gained some unique abilities."
Hearing this, Bai Chen, Long Yuehong, and Shang Jianyao were all stunned.
Even within Pangea, the genetic modification technology is far from mature, and the failure rate is quite high. No volunteers who are really helpless are willing to try it.
"This was done to save lives at the time, and it was with the implanted biological prosthesis." Jiang Baimian quickly explained, "I have a special kind of cell in my body that can sense electric field signals within a certain range, while humans and beasts When active, muscle contractions and certain reactions will produce weak electrical signals, so as long as the enemy enters a certain range, no matter whether he is hidden or not, I can easily find his position and his state."
"No wonder you noticed the relic hunter wearing the exoskeleton device earlier than me before..." Bai Chen suddenly realized.
Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong also immediately understood a previous doubt:
When Shang Jian Yao was sleeping for the first time, it was obvious that Yao had found traces of human beings, but Jiang Baimian was not at all curious and did not initiate everyone to search around—she should have already grasped the characteristics and status of that human and made a judgment.
Jiang Baimian quickly added while driving:
"The black swamp iron snake was in a dormant state similar to hibernation at that time, and the electrical signal was very weak. I thought it was just an ordinary animal, and I didn't find it in advance, but Jingfa is a mechanical monk, and his physical activities depended on very strong electricity. The signal, I could pick it up from a distance and figure out what he was probably trying to do.
"Before he attacked just now, I was actually ready. I deliberately made Bai Chen slow down to induce him to attack, hoping to seize the opportunity to destroy him or inflict heavy damage on him.
"I didn't tell you before, Jingfa has always been a persevering mechanical monk. If he is targeted, he will definitely be chased and killed all the way, that is too dangerous, the best way is to hurt him and let him lose it in a short time. The ability to catch up, unfortunately, I didn't expect him to be an Awakener. A mechanical monk was also an Awakener at the same time, and he almost let everyone die together.
"I need to apologize for that.
"I will definitely try a long-range attack when Jingfa comes after me. Only I can detect it in advance and let the vehicle make evasive actions in time. Well, it's definitely too late to guide it through words."
Bai Chen nodded, expressing his understanding:
"I will pay attention to the road conditions ahead and left and right, and tell you in advance which direction you cannot go.
"How about using time as a proxy?"
There were five bloody fingerprints left on the back of her neck, which looked terrifying.
"Okay." Jiang Baimian slowed down a bit, allowing the jeep to smoothly bypass an obstacle.
At the same time, she looked at the rearview mirror and said:
"Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong, hurry up and decide who will wear the exoskeleton device. Next, the person who wears the exoskeleton device will be the main force against the net method."
Before Long Yuehong could speak, Shang Jianyao said firmly:
"I come."
He looked at Long Yuehong who was trying to argue, and explained simply:
"Jingfa is also an awakener, you can't balance him in this regard, and I need an exoskeleton device to help me get closer."
"...Okay." Long Yuehong got up and bent over, and together with Shang Jianyao, dragged the exoskeleton device from the trunk to the sitting position.
Then, he assisted Shang Jian Yao to wear it.
"Remember to replace the backup high-performance battery." Jiang Baimian reminded.
Because there are very few big forces that can produce real high-performance batteries, there are only "Orange Company" and "Future Intelligence". So, the high-performance batteries of a lot of military equipment are interoperable - 50% probability, and this time the old tune team was lucky, the high-performance batteries needed by the jeep and the high-performance batteries of the military exoskeleton device They are all standard products produced by "future intelligence".
"Well." Shang Jianyao didn't dare to be careless in this regard.
After changing the battery, Shang Jianyao, while carrying the energy backpack and metal skeleton, bent over to buckle the buckles at the auxiliary joints, and asked:
"Team leader, why did you suddenly fail when you invaded Jingfa's internal system?"
He suspected that it was one of the awakened abilities of the Pure Dharma.
And he currently knows two:
"The Way of Hungry Ghosts" and "His Heart".
