Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 418: Suggest

Views:

When Long Yuehong took out the group's radio transceiver, Jiang Baimian was writing the report to the company on a piece of paper.

She cleverly grafted her previous experience with the "Dao and Electrical Repair" radio into this incident to explain why she had to let Genova switch modes and detect locations.

The existence of Genova, which she described as a collaborator, will make the company subconsciously think that the intelligent robot is from Wang Fugui's team.

After paving the prelude with the experience of the survivors, she officially entered the theme and talked about how she and Wang Fugui's team found the cave, how to go deeper, how to discover the ruins of Wasteland No. 13, how to determine what was wrong, and how to get rid of Wu Meng's strangeness The invasion, how to run away, no matter how small or small, did not miss a key point.

- If "Pangu Biology" wanted to find the survivor mentioned by Jiang Baimian to verify the "Tao and Electrical Maintenance" radio station, then Jiang Baimian would tell them that unfortunately, the other party was infected in the follow-up treatment and could not persist. Lost life.

For this reason, the name she reported belonged to one of the relic hunters who had a similar situation.

In short, the core is one sentence:

Dead without proof!

After translating the content of the report into a telegram and sending it out, the "Old Tuning Team" received the confirmation feedback from "Pangu Creatures".

This is confirmation that their telegram has been received, and further orders may have to wait a day or two, or even longer.

Jiang Baimian breathed a sigh of relief and said to the rest of the group:

"Take turns to rest and make up for sleep."

Another point of taking a break is to quickly recharge those high-performance batteries.

- In the forward camp, the electricity bill was much more expensive than the original city, and the savings of the "Old Tune Group" declined at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the afternoon, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen, who were on patrol, each carried their assault rifles and walked back and forth without the slightest slack.

Suddenly, they heard a thump from the group's jeep.

Long Yuehong subconsciously took a step forward and opened the corresponding rear door.

And Bai Chen has raised the muzzle, aimed there, and was ready.

Then, they saw that Jiang Baimian, who was sleeping on the seat, turned over at some point, and supported the carpet with his left hand, almost standing upside down.

"Team leader, what's wrong?" Long Yuehong asked cautiously.

Jiang Baimian straightened his back, bounced back to his seat, and said with a dry smile:

"Had a dream."

Then, her face became solemn:

"That dream made me discover a little problem."

Her serious attitude and dignified expression made Long Yuehong and Bai Chen naturally ignore the fact that she was "scared" by the nightmare and rolled off her seat.

When Shang Jianyao in the other car woke up and gathered here with Genava, Jiang Baimian said solemnly:

"I dreamed of those relic hunters who 'followed' the white wolf before, they were wandering in the black wasteland, in the ruins of the city, like living corpses.

"After waking up, I noticed something was wrong:

"The data doesn't match."

"What data?" Long Yuehong dutifully played the role of questioning.

Of course, he really didn't understand and asked.

Jiang Baimian recalled:

"Just counting the last two months, even if the white wolf eats one person a day, it can only eat 61 people."

"Those survivors said they didn't eat every day, but regularly, about once every two or three days." Bai Chen reminded the team leader.

"I'm making a big estimate." Jiang Baimian explained his thoughts, and then added, "The total number of followers killed by us and the surviving ruin hunters is 35, and according to the guild's statistics, the last two In the past month, there have been about 1,700 or 170 or 80 lost relic hunters and wilderness wanderers in the mountains on the north bank."

Hearing this, Long Yuehong already understood what the group leader meant:

The data on both sides do not match!

There are some missing persons who do not see themselves in life and die without a trace!

"Even if you deduct the part of the people who disappeared due to hunting, exploration and other things, it is estimated that there are 120 or 30 people affected by the white wolf." Jiang Baimian continued, "In other words, there are about 30 people who have neither. Followed by the white wolf, and he was not eaten by him."

After a pause, Jiang Baimian asked in a serious tone:

"So, where did they go?"

"According to the description of the survivors, there may only be twenty-four or five people eaten by the white wolf, and there are about sixty or more who are missing." Bai Chen added thoughtfully, "Because this is a unilateral action by the guild. The statistics will definitely be missed.”

As for the situation before the White Wolf mission was promulgated, no one in the mountains on the north bank did statistics. There was no unified organization here, and there was no force with strong control.

"Meaning, nearly half of the human beings who have been affected by the white wolf in the past two months are missing?" Long Yuehong said in an uncertain tone.

Shang Jianyao showed a sudden realization:

"Is it stockpiled?"

"It's also a reserve to take with you." Jiang Baimian denied this speculation.

She immediately ordered:

"We divided into two groups, asked the survivors who knew about this, and recorded the specific point in time when they were affected by the white wolf.

"Hey, it was too rushed at the time, and some details may have been missed."

No one was long-winded. The "Old Tune Team" followed the plan of Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong, Bai Chen, and Genava to find survivors such as Long En.

About forty minutes later, they met on the third floor of the main castle building, where the survivors were treated.

"At present, it is unclear whether the white wolf has other dens and whether there are other followers." Long Yuehong took the initiative to report.

Bai Chen glanced at the note paper in his hand, and said slightly solemnly:

"But there is a problem. These people were only affected by White Wolf in the last month."

"The situation I have collected here is also." Jiang Baimian responded.

"The shelf life of the previous month has passed, and was thrown away by the white wolf?" Shang Jianyao blurted out in surprise.

His words made Long Yuehong and others not know how to answer.

Only Genova, honestly said:

"There are so many expired foods in the cave, so raising those people shouldn't be a problem."

Jiang Baimian thought for a while, and then said:

"There are still two people who haven't asked. Other survivors said that when they were affected by the white wolf, these two people were already following the white wolf."

One is called Richard and the other is called Louis.

Li Cha's injuries were relatively minor. After treatment and rest, he was able to walk freely. Then he left this sad place and returned to Primordial City. The "Old Tune Team" would not be able to find him for a while.

On the other hand, Louis, who seemed to have some savings, opened a room in the camp hotel.

Dong Dong Dong, Long Yuehong knocked on Louis' door.

Louis, whose flaxen hair was slightly fluffy, quickly opened the wooden door.

Seeing the "Old Tune Group" group of five, his face suddenly turned pale, and he subconsciously took two steps back:

"You guys, what do you want to do?"

"Ask you if you have any questions." Shang Jianyao showed a kind smile.

Louis' eyes froze, his emotions suddenly collapsed, and he shouted hysterically:

"I don't want revenge!

"I don't want revenge!"

Hearing this sentence, Long Yuehong suddenly remembered that this was the survivor who looked at him with hatred before.

Seeing Jiang Baimian move his eyebrows, Shang Jianyao burst out laughing, and Louis became even more nervous.

"I, I have thought about it, but I don't have this ability, I, I don't have this ability!"

After shouting this sentence, he fell to the ground, covered his face, and said with a cry:

"I've given up, I've really given up, I, I'm useless, I'm sorry for them! I'm sorry for them... "

The voice of despair, panic and sadness echoed in the room, making Long Yuehong sigh for a while.

After Lewis calmed down a little, Jiang Baimian deliberately lowered his voice and said:

"You have two choices now, one is to be killed by us, the other is to answer a question from us, then leave here, never return, and don't be touched by us."

Louis was silent for two seconds, released his palms, and asked eagerly:

"what is the problem?"

Tears were all over his face.

"When you first 'followed' the white wolf, there should be dozens of people around it. Where did they go?" Jiang Baimian asked the question that he had thought about for a long time.

Louis' expression changed a bit:

"They, they followed the white wolf into the depths of the cave and never came back..."

His eyes were full of fear.

This event seems to have become his lingering nightmare.

Into the depths of the cave? Sent to the ruins of wasteland 13? Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and others instinctively flashed such an idea.

"Expelling" Lewis, they exchanged for a while about this matter, and finally got a unified understanding:

Those who are missing are most likely related to the ruins of Wasteland 13.

As for why the white wolf sent those humans into the ruins of wasteland No. 13, Jiang Baimian and others lacked enough clues, and they couldn't even guess.

On the other hand, Shang Jianyao proposed a horror story-like possibility:

"Experimental item."

The next day, at a fixed time to contact the company, the "Old Tuning Team" received a telegram from "Pangu Creature":

"I understand your situation... Wu Meng can only exert influence remotely without the help of language. It may only be all kinds of electrical appliances, including intelligent robots. If you want to explore the ruins of Wasteland No. 13, please eliminate this hidden danger in advance... "

"The company tends to let us do some exploration..." Jiang Baimian said thoughtfully.

Genova said immediately:

"Then I can only respond."

He simulates three-point frustration plus three-point loss.

Just when the "Old Tuning Team" put away the transceiver and discussed the matter, Wang Fugui came over by the light of the street lamp.

He looked at Jiang Baimian and the others and said sincerely:

"I thought about it, that Wu Meng's 'dao' should be in electrical appliances and electronic products. If he didn't bring these, he might be able to bypass his influence."

This... Long Yuehong's eyes widened slightly when she heard this.

Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen were also quite surprised.

Wang Fugui's statement is almost the same as the suggestion given by the company!
