Chapter 43: invite

Views:

After listening to Jiang Baimian's explanation, Shang Jianyao and Bai Chen gradually felt a sudden realization.

They actually found many signs, but they didn't think deeply.

Jiang Baimian glanced at Shang Jianyao:

"Shouldn't it be

"Shouldn't you have guessed that there was something wrong with this plan? I didn't say anything, didn't you understand it very quickly when I used my actions to suggest that you fought the 'Hungry Ghost Dao' with a cookie in your mouth

"From such an important thing, I don't make a sound, and when I made a plan before, I didn't even lower my voice, so I could detect the abnormality, and I could even directly guess that what I said at the time may not be equal to what I really want to do."

Shang Jianyao did not recall, and said directly:

"I thought at the time that you were afraid of explaining with your voice, which would make me remember the corresponding content from time to time, and it would be difficult to avoid the 'heart-telling' of purifying the law. After all, we don't know how wide the effective range of this ability is.

"And when it is transformed into actions and pictures, there is a process of interpretation. Even if Jingfa can see the scene in my heart, I may not be able to understand what the real meaning is."

"...You think too complicated." Jiang Baimian commented.

Bai Chen agreed with Shang Jianyao:

"I also thought that your lack of voice was based on your understanding of the Awakened. Although I have never heard of discussing the Awakened's abilities and discussing how to deal with him, he would 'hear', but I cannot rule out this possibility. There are certainly no major forces that know much about this.”

"...You think more complicated than he thinks." Jiang Baimian laughed and praised himself, "Am I really impeccable?"

"I just didn't expect you to lie to us, and I didn't think in that direction." Shang Jianyao responded immediately.

Bai Chen nodded in agreement.

Jiang Baimian looked around again and changed the subject with a smile:

"So, going out to practice allows you to quickly accumulate experience and cultivate a tacit understanding between each other.

"In short, no matter what decision I make, you have to believe that I will never cheat you."

"Let's go, let's meet up with Long Yuehong."

"Okay." Shang Jianyao and Bai Chen have completely figured out what happened and learned a lot from it.

Jiang Baimian glanced at the direction in which the mechanical monk Jingfa escaped, and sighed:

"Unfortunately, I failed to destroy the body of the net method and get the bionic chip inside.

"The corresponding technology is definitely worth studying and can help the company overcome many difficulties. Moreover, most of the monks have a certain understanding of the reasons for the destruction of the old world. 'Eternals' is one of the most important projects before the destruction of the old world. It will not be easy to carry on this legacy."

Having said that, without waiting for Shang Jianyao's reminder, Jiang Baimian took the initiative to shake his head and said:

"Haha, this is all my beautiful imagination.

"Actually, I really want to destroy the body of the pure law, but I dare not take his bionic chip. The ability of the awakened person is strange and terrible, and carrying the bionic chip that bears his consciousness with him is like suicide.

"That's fine, that's fine."

She immediately turned to look at Shang Jianyao:

"Let's go."

Shang Jianyao glanced at the wheel marks, turned his body silently, and squatted down.

"It's very meticulous. If we didn't let us go on our own, I couldn't catch up with the exoskeleton device." Jiang Baimian nodded with satisfaction, and sat on the energy backpack sideways, leaving half of the seat for Bai Chen.

After the two of them sat down and grasped the metal skeleton on the shoulders, Shang Jianyao straightened his body and took a big step. With the slight sound of metal friction, he followed the track of the wheels.

He didn't run at full speed, and the sound of dangdengdeng was not very loud.

About a quarter of an hour later, Shang Jianyao left the sparse woodland and came to a gray and black wilderness.

This is a world of rocks and weeds, the soil is hard, and the car marks are shallow and numerous, making it difficult to distinguish.

Using the "integrated early warning system", Shang Jianyao saw a jeep in the distance.

Its side wheels were sunk in a pool the size of a puddle of mud, and the whole body leaned and could sink at any moment.

However, there are two ropes linking it to a spliced, wild-looking gray SUV.

The grey SUV's engine hummed as it tried to pull the Jepra out of the quagmire.

Long Yuehong, carrying an assault rifle, stood beside the car and chatted happily with a man and a woman.

"How is it, have you seen the jeep? I sensed that there are a lot of people over there." Jiang Baimian pressed the shoulder of the exoskeleton device, stretched his neck, and looked at the distance where Long Yuehong was.

Shang Jianyao nodded:

"I see."

"Is Long Yuehong okay?" Bai Chen's pace slowed down when he saw Shang and Yao, so he asked a question.

Shang Jianyao smiled and said:

"He's nice and has made a few friends."

"Huh." Jiang Baimian said, "Go and have a look."

Shang Jianyao immediately quickened his pace and ran to the location of the jeep.

Kick, kick, kick, he deliberately increased the sound of footsteps, so that Long Yuehong and the man and woman next to him could hear the movement from a distance.

The man and the woman and Long Yuehong turned their heads almost at the same time and looked here.

As soon as they saw the black military exoskeleton device of Taiwan Iron, the man and the woman's expressions suddenly changed.

At this point, the jeep had been towed out of the small swamp by the assembled gray off-road vehicle.

Long Yuehong showed joy on her face, and took a few steps to greet her:

"How's it going?"

After shouting, he remembered something, and hurriedly turned his head to the gray off-road vehicle and shouted:

"Don't worry, it's my companion!"

"Who are they?" Shang Jianyao has rushed to the front.

At the gray off-road vehicle, both the people inside and a man and a woman outside were all highly nervous and alert.

Long Yuehong quickly replied:

"I was not familiar with the road and drove the car into the mud. When they found out, they offered to help.

"They are very friendly!"

Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen looked at each other and said with a low laugh:

"This doesn't seem like something a normal wilderness wanderer would do..."

After speaking, she patted Shang Jianyao on the shoulder:

"We also showed our kindness."

When Shang Jianyao heard the words, he immediately stopped.

After Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen jumped off their energy backpacks, picked up their guns, and took precautions, he walked up to Long Yuehong and said loudly:

"Help me take off the exoskeleton device."

Seeing that the businessman was indeed dismantling the exoskeleton device, the group of people at the gray assembled car was obviously relieved.

They discussed it and asked the man and woman who had talked to Long Yuehong to come over again.

The man was in his early thirties, with a face of the Chinese character Zhang Guo, and his skin was rough and vicissitudes.

He had black hair and brown eyes, and he wore what was called a formal suit in the old world, with a straight back—of course, the formal suit must have been modified to make it easier to move.

Unlike the wilderness wanderers that Shang Jianyao and others encountered before, although his clothes were outdated and patched with inconspicuous patches, they didn't feel tattered at all.

The woman was in her twenties, with black hair and brown eyes.

She was wearing an army green camouflage uniform, and her facial features were not bad, but her face was completely expressionless, giving her a cold and indifferent feeling.

At the junction of her neck and clothes, there is a faint blue-black tattoo.

The man and the woman each carried an automatic rifle and a black pistol, and stopped four or five meters away from Jiang Baimian and the others.

"Thank you for your help!" Jiang Baimian shouted loudly.

"This is what every virtuous person should do." The man in his thirties responded calmly.

Jiang Baimian suddenly smiled:

"On dust, morality is a luxury, no, a rarity."

"We can't give up morality just because the old world is destroyed." The man was a little proud of his ability to uphold morality.

Then he asked aloud:

"Are you also going to the north of Yuelu Station?"

"Are you looking for someone?" Jiang Baimian's eyebrows moved slightly, "What's your name?"

The man answered frankly:

"Wu Shoushi, an intermediate hunter."

He paused and said:

"It seems that you don't know yet. North of Yuelu Station, a ruined city in the old world has been discovered, which has never been discovered before."

Urban ruins never discovered before? Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen couldn't help but glance at each other.

Jiang Baimian frowned slightly:

"How did you know that

"Something unusual happened in the depths of the swamp, which was the night before."

Wu Shoushi glanced at his companions, but did not hide:

"Someone entered the ruins of the city, found a lot of things, changed the radio telegraph, and passed the matter back to the guild in Weed City.

"You should know what the undiscovered city ruins mean."

Before waiting for Jiang Baimian and others to answer, he gave the answer himself:

"Danger and opportunity!

"The items, materials and secrets there are enough to satisfy thousands of relic hunter teams many times, and you don't have to worry about killing each other.

"In comparison, the dangers inherent in the ruins of the city are more intuitive and terrifying, and more companions can provide more strength to fight them."
