Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 412: late at night

Views:

Shang Jianyao's answer was completely out of Wang Fugui's expectations, and he didn't know how to proceed for a short time.

Fortunately, Shang Jianyao had already ignored him, glanced at the several relic hunters beside him, and withdrew his gaze.

At the same time, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen also took the opportunity to communicate with each other and looked at the few people sitting with Wang Fugui in an open and honest manner.

Among them, what impressed Long Yuehong the most was a man with slender limbs.

He had brown hair and blue eyes, and he looked quite sturdy, but he was wearing a black leather jacket with the zipper up high.

He was clearly wrapped up tightly, but he still showed a very cold feeling.

You know, it is midsummer now, even if the temperature in the mountains is lower than the outside world, a long T-shirt for normal humans is enough.

"Too weak? Have you been injured before?" Long Yuehong muttered to herself.

The other three relic hunters have no obvious characteristics, but compared to most of the people in the forward camp, their clothes and complexions are much better.

The other loners mentioned by Wang Fugui? Jiang Baimian nodded lightly at them, withdrew his gaze without a trace, and sat down at the bar.

They came to the Cos Bar to settle for lunch.

This time, they didn't prepare much food in the car.

"Do you think Wang Fugui is an Awakener?" Long Yuehong sat down and asked, pressing her voice.

At first glance, Wang Fugui has not done genetic modification, nor has he tried mechanical and electronic modification.

And he can live a good life as a lone hunter, and is judged by Waite to be too powerful to be terrifying, there should be something more or less beyond ordinary people.

Excluding the first two possibilities, there are only two answers left: distortion and awakening.

But from the external image observation, the probability of Wang Fugui being the next person is not too high.

"If so, what was the price he paid?" Bai Chen asked in a low voice.

Wang Fugui's words and deeds are no different from normal people, and it is completely impossible to see what price he has paid.

"It may be the price of privacy." Jiang Baimian gave his thoughts.

Shang Jianyao immediately agreed:

"Maybe it's a fetish, like animals."

He looked serious.

Obviously, this is the inspiration from an awakened person in the "Rootless" team, and combined with the current situation of chasing the white giant wolf, some changes have been made.

"No." Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen shook their heads at the same time.

This is a female intuition.

They can all feel that Wang Fugui appreciates the opposite sex very much, and has a desire, but this lone hunter is very restrained and polite, and it is not disgusting.

During the casual discussion, the four members of the "Old Tunes Group" had today's lunch:

The starchy rhizomes of a wild plant are roasted to a fragrant and glutinous finish; palm-sized stream fish are fried to a crisp and charming crunch—with fat from prey with poor meat quality; several of the more common wild vegetable washes Then put it there...

After eating lunch, Jiang Baimian and others got up one after another, called the charged Genava, and climbed to the third floor of the main building of the castle.

This is where those previous survivors were treated.

Fortunately for them, the white giant wolf has no need for coins or inedible materials, and has not deprived them of their belongings, so that they can now afford medical expenses and will not be driven out.

At a glance, Jiang Baimian found Long En.

The relic hunter immediately trotted over and asked flatteringly:

"Anything for me?"

Because of the rib injury, he ran in a slightly strange way.

"Have you seen a hunter named Fei Lintong?" Jiang Baimian nodded.

This is the relic hunter who knows the situation of the Mirror Sect, and one of the goals of the "Old Tune Group" on this trip.

After Shang Jianyao finished adding Fei Lintong's appearance characteristics, Ron shook his head:

"I saw it before being controlled by the white wolf. He was also looking for the white wolf. Later, he never met again."

It means that Felintong was not "charmed" by the white giant wolf, and did not become a ghost? Jiang Baimian looked to the left and right, motioning Long Yuehong, Bai Chen, and Shang Jianyao to ask other survivors separately.

After asking this question for a while, Long Yuehong walked towards the third last target.

It was a relic hunter who was shot in the abdomen and barely survived. He was lying there, his lips were slightly pale, and his mental state was not very good.

"Have you ever seen such a hunter? Gray hair, dark brown eyes, like to use shotguns..." Long Yuehong described Felintong's situation step by step.

The relic hunter on the bed moved his eyes slightly and said:

"I have seen."

"When?" Long Yuehong was refreshed.

The relic hunter subconsciously wanted to say "you have to pay", but he immediately remembered the strength of the opposing team and his own situation, so he changed his words:

"When I was controlled, White Wolf."

He didn't want the injury to get worse, and he couldn't be rescued again.

"Ah?" Long Yuehong was surprised and happy.

Jiang Baimian and Genawa approached.

The relic hunter paused for a while and continued:

"The white wolf will let us be guards and guard different areas.

"I remember, that night, I was guarding in the cave, at an intersection, I saw this man, and wanted to come in sneakily, I, I shot him at that time and tried to kill him, he was so scared that he ran into another road, and then, again, It didn't show up."

After Jiang Baimian listened quietly, he asked:

"In other words, he has never been controlled by the white wolf?"

"Yes." The relic hunter gave a very positive answer.

Jiang Baimian turned and asked:

"How did you see him in the cave?"

"There are torches," the relic hunter replied. "The first few times I used a flashlight, and then the battery died."

At this time, Shang Jianyao also asked a similar situation from a survivor.

He was at another intersection.

Combining the descriptions of the two, Jiang Baimian preliminarily judged that Fei Lintong entered the cave from another entrance and exit, and was discovered by the "guard", and rushed into the fork in a panic.

And where the fork in the road leads, no one knows yet.

"Looks like I have to go into the cave after all." Jiang Baimian sighed when he returned to the parking place.

She considered for a few seconds, looked at Genova and said:

"On the one hand, we asked Wang Fugui and these solo hunters to 'help' to explore the way, and on the other hand, we had to make some preparations. For example, we made simple versions of drones and remote-controlled vehicles, first reconnaissance, and then in-depth exploration, piece by piece. This will better prevent the collapse caused by the previous explosion."

"Well, I will try to collect electronic components and try to make them with the equipment I have." Genova spread his right hand, "But you have to give me enough Ole."

As a law-abiding intelligent robot, do you have to grab it instead of buying it

"I'll help." Shang Jianyao was very interested in this, eager to try.

Night fell again, and a bright moon appeared in the sky.

Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao, who were on duty, were patrolling each side. They saw many vehicles swaying under the light of the street lights, and heard groans that seemed to be absent or hoarse from all directions.

A word suddenly appeared in Jiang Baimian's mind:

"Carpe Diem."

At this moment, she saw Shang Jianyao stop, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and opened her mouth.

He wouldn't want to imitate these people, would he? Wouldn't that be too shameful? Jiang Baimian thought blankly and hilariously.

The next second, Shang Jianyao made a voice:

"Ow!"

This roar spread far in the relatively quiet night in the mountain forest, as if the white giant wolf had sneaked into the forward camp.

In an instant, all moaning stopped, all shaking subsided, only a little aftermath.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

- For those who have not fallen asleep in the forward camp, the current "wolf howl" is completely different from the previous howl, it is obviously very close, and needs to be alert.

"..." Jiang Baimian was speechless and wanted to turn his head away and pretend he didn't know that guy.

It's a pity that after the battle with White Wolf, the "Old Tune Team" has already made a name for itself in this forward camp. Everyone knows that they have four members and a robot, and they are very powerful.

"You will be beaten like this!" Jiang Baimian quickly stopped Shang Jianyao from making a second "wolf howl".

Although Shang Jianyao was unwilling, he still chose to obey the order.

Bunch of flashlights appeared, shone to and fro, but no dangerous wild animals were found.

After this, the moaning and shaking of the vehicle were much less.

After the "alarm" was completely lifted, Jiang Baimian asked Shang Jianyao in a low voice:

"Why did you suddenly learn to howl?"

Shang Jianyao replied seriously:

"I'm simulating the roar of the white wolf to see if I can seduce the Nightmare Horse."

Seduce... Jiang Baimian's expression froze on his face, and the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously.

"Do you have the ability to 'charm'?" she asked angrily and hilariously.

"No." Shang Jianyao answered honestly.

"Isn't that the end?" Jiang Baimian cut off the communication neatly.

As time passed, the moon gradually climbed higher, and all kinds of movements slowly disappeared.

Jiang Baimian looked around and finally felt the ultimate tranquility of the night.

Tranquility... She frowned suddenly.

In the forward camp, each team of relic hunters will stay on duty at night, and the regular army of the "First City" stationed here will also send personnel to patrol to prevent the invasion of dangerous creatures.

Therefore, no matter what, it is impossible to have the ultimate tranquility.

Something happened? But I didn't notice anything... Could it be something wrong with me? This, is this a dream? Is the Nightmare Horse really here? No, the Nightmare Horse can only make dreams come true, not sleep! Is this the sleeping cat? Nightmare Horse's partner, Sleeping Cat, is also here? Jiang Baimian's thoughts turned, and he began to think about how to wake himself up.

At this moment, she felt the earth tremble obviously, and the whole mountain swayed violently.

At this moment, it was as if the end had come again.

Shaking and shaking, Jiang Baimian heard the surrounding movement and saw Shang Jianyao's face.

He grabbed Jiang Baimian's shoulders and said excitedly:

"Nightmare horse and ghost cat are here!"
