Jiang Baimian intuitively thought that the person who brought the Nightmare Horse was not Xiao Chong.
Her reason was that a guy like Xiaochong who "was too lazy to go out and just wanted to play games", except for occasional relaxation and activities, he would not be busy with these things himself.
Shang Jianyao obviously felt the same way.
"What does that person look like?" Jiang Baimian asked.
The innkeeper recalled:
"He's about the same height as me, with black, knotted, greasy hair...
"He looked strong and sturdy, with a white vest underneath and a thin black coat...
"He has a thick beard, dark hair on the backs of his hands, and a pair of sunglasses on his face, covering his eyes...
"He is very introverted, very dull, very few words, uh, he doesn't seem to say much, I offered 10 ore, he shook his head directly, I gave 15 ore, he nodded and left the horse, Then, come and take the horse away on the date I gave..."
The more Jiang Baimian listened, the more wrong he felt.
Relying on the assistive chip inside the biological prosthesis, she quickly remembered a similar image.
That is not a normal human being, but an "unintentional person"!
In the ruins of Marsh No. 1, the underground of the "Urban Intelligence Network Control Center", near the room where Xiaochong was playing games, the "Old Tune Team" once met a female "Higher Unintentional" who was giving birth, guarding her The male "unintentional person" around him, regardless of his image features or some of his clothes, was quite close to what the hotel owner described.
Could it be that the hotel owner made a deal with a "higher unintentional"? Although that person can't speak and can't understand too complicated sentences, but he seems to understand the level of price... Is this what Xiao Chong deliberately instilled? Jiang Baimian's eyes moved slightly, feeling that this was extremely absurd and terrifying.
What happens around Xiaochong is always bizarre.
After thinking about it, Jiang Baimian decided not to tell the boss the truth. This was unnecessary, and secondly, it might scare the other party.
No normal human being can accept that he has made a deal face-to-face with an "unintentional person".
She thought about it and said:
"It's not Xiaochong, Xiaochong is a child."
The hotel owner showed an expression of sudden realization:
"That person rented out the horses to earn rent, electricity, water and food for the children?"
Although it's true, it's a lot more complicated than you think... Jiang Baimian mumbled, nodded and said:
"We'll ask other hunters to see if anyone has seen that man and that horse."
The hotel owner was startled and said:
"He disappeared
"Could it be the white wolf that did it?"
He thought that Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao were looking for friends who never returned home.
"Almost." Jiang Baimian said perfunctorily, turned and walked out of the hotel.
In the following time, they, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen asked about the same situation from several relic hunters and camp personnel:
Some people have seen creatures similar to nightmare horses carrying supplies and walking on mountain roads;
It has been seen grazing where livestock are kept in the main castle building, keeping a certain distance from other cattle and horses;
Someone has encountered a man wearing black sunglasses and a white vest. He is in a hurry and doesn't know where he is going...
"A powerful deformed creature is actually making money by carrying supplies in the camp..." Although Long Yuehong has verified this from the side and thinks it should be like this, she still has an incredible expression.
If all distorted creatures, high-level mindless people, and even those powerful awakeners and reformers could be so down-to-earth and keep themselves safe, the situation of the dust would be many times better.
At that time, the dawn of a new world should appear.
Yes, Long Yuehong still thinks that the "new world" is a fable and a symbol, representing that human beings have completely stepped out of the shadow of the destruction of the old world, re-established order and civilization, and have a new home.
Bai Chen pursed his lips and said:
"If it hadn't happened to Xiaochong's pet, I would have thought who was joking."
She was a wanderer in the wilderness and a relic hunter, and she also saw some aberrant creatures, which were quite terrifying, full of aggressiveness, and could not be related to human society and working to make money.
When he first encountered the Nightmare Horse, when he heard Qiao Chu talk about the corresponding matter, Bai Chen also felt that this distorted creature was extremely dangerous.
Today, the mysterious and terrifying image of Nightmare Horse collapsed in her heart.
Shang Jianyao nodded with relief:
"This shows that Xiaochong is a law-abiding person, but he doesn't like going out very much and likes to play games."
You really treat Xiaochong as a friend... But don't forget that the "innocent disease" epidemic in the first city may have something to do with Xiaochong... Jiang Baimian didn't say what was in his heart, and said "um":
"15 Ole can't last long in Primal City, Nightmare Horse, and that 'Higher Unintentional One', are they working in some settlements and forward camps in the mountains?"
The sleeping cat image is too scary to be in contact with humans.
"Maybe." Long Yuehong couldn't deny this guess.
Bai Chen followed up and said:
"Then we will expand the scope of the inquiry."
Anyway, after the "Old Tune Team" will find other entrances and exits of the cave, it is likely that they will pass by other camps and other wilderness homeless settlements.
"Well." Jiang Baimian nodded, "Actually, there is another way of thinking."
"What?" Genova collected data diligently, trying to establish an analysis model for Jiang Baimian.
Jiang Baimian said:
"It now appears that when Xiaochong left the Swamp No. 1 Ruins, in addition to taking away the two pets, the Nightmare Horse and the Sleeping Cat, there was also a group of 'high-level unintentional people' following him.
"You said, where are these 'higher unintentional ones'?"
"Working to make money!" Shang Jianyao replied without hesitation.
Without waiting for Jiang Baimian to stare at him, he said to himself:
"Judging from the situation at the time, some of the 'high-level unintentional ones' would stay by Xiaochong's side to guard him and protect him, while the other part would go out to find food and control the ordinary 'intentional ones' in the ruins of the city."
"Yes." Jiang Baimian sighed, "Therefore, there should be several 'high-level unintentional people' beside Xiaochong now. Although they have a certain amount of wisdom, their level is obviously not high, and they will often be attacked. Instinct control, when we return to the prime city, we can try to start from this point, use the instinct of the 'unintentional' to fish them out, and then find Xiaochong."
This... The team leader wants to deceive even the "high-level unintentional people"... Long Yuehong secretly stunned.
He thinks the plan is very feasible.
Shang Jianyao immediately smiled and said:
"Maybe it doesn't need to be so troublesome. Maybe Nightmare Horse and Sleeping Cat will tell him that I'm looking for Xiaochong, and he will come to see me in person."
"Hope." Jiang Baimian responded perfunctorily.
She immediately showed a thoughtful expression:
"Judging from last night's situation, the range of the sleeping cat's ability will not be much larger than that of Shang Jianyao, and the nightmare horse's ability is not as scary as we expected..."
After discussing this topic for a while, Genova and Shang Jianyao continued to study the various electronic components that were currently available.
This is what they exchanged for some of the previous spoils.
Long Yuehong was busy for a while, and stood up a little bored.
He has always said that his grades are average, which is true.
In the university, he has always been in the same position, and he does not have much love for his major. The reason for choosing it when applying for the exam is that it is relatively easier to assign a better job.
Jiang Baimian glanced at him and said with a smile:
"It doesn't take so many people for this. It's pointless for you to stay here. Why don't you go to the camp? Well, maybe you can find out some information."
"Okay." Just as Long Yuehong was about to walk around, she hurriedly agreed.
Based on the principle of not letting team members be singled out, Bai Chen followed him.
When entering the main building of the castle, a young man with flaxen hair and eyes of the same color came out and passed them by.
At this moment, Long Yuehong seemed to feel the gaze full of hatred.
He subconsciously turned his head to look at the other party, the man lowered his head and hurried away.
While Long Yuehong was puzzled, Bai Chen said in a low voice:
"I remember him, his companion died at our hands."
"Is that so..." Long Yuehong suddenly realized.
Bai Chen looked back and asked calmly:
"Are you looking for a chance to kill him?"
"Uh, no, no." Long Yuehong shook her head quickly.
He felt that the "Old Tune Group" did not need to be afraid of this level of hatred. He and others had enough self-protection power, and there was no need to kill more.
Bai Chen didn't say much and entered the main castle building first.
…
A few days later, when Waite came back from Primal City, Ron and the other survivor's injuries were almost healed. Cave entrance.
In the afternoon, a deep cave appeared in front of them.
Waite immediately took out a remote control car from his backpack and drove it into the cave.
"We asked him to get it from Primordial City." Wang Fugui smiled at Jiang Baimian and the others.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Jianyao also took off his tactical backpack and took out a black remote control car with a simple but industrial style.
"We did it ourselves." Shang Jianyao looked at Wang Fugui and smiled.
"..." Wang Fugui opened his mouth, but said nothing.
