Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 461: ask the cat

Views:

Zeng Duo was startled, and instinctively retreated to the door and drew a gun backhand.

As a relic hunter who has been adventuring in the North Shore wasteland for many years, it is not that she has never seen aberrant creatures, but this is the first time in the original city.

Han Wanghuo's reaction was similar to hers, but it wasn't that big, because he saw that Xue Yueyue, Zhang Qubing and others were all in their previous state. Neither want.

"Meow~" An Sleeping Cat called out again, lay down and spread out its body.

At this moment, Jiang Baimian moved in his heart, put down the kitchen knife in his hand, and walked to the balcony.

She squatted in front of Sleeping Cat, considered it for a few seconds, and said hello with a smile:

"You came back from the North Shore Wasteland?"

Sleeping Cat glanced at her without making a sound.

"Which way did you go, haven't you met anyone from the 'First City'?" Jiang Baimian asked straight to the point.

She came and went freely from Sleeping Cat to the North Shore Wasteland, and saw the hope of the "Old Tune Group" and Han Wanghuo and Zeng Duo leaving the first city.

"Meow." Sleeping Cat replied.

"..." Jiang Baimian was stunned there, subconsciously putting on an embarrassed but polite smile.

Only then did she remember that she didn't have the "skill" to communicate with cat creatures at all.

Sleeping Cat's previous performance always caused her to ignore this issue intentionally or not.

Seeing this, Long Yuehong turned her head to the side so as not to laugh out loud, but after turning her head to the side, he saw Bai Chen pursed his lips tightly.

Shang Jianyao, who was playing the game, lit up, ready to apply for a suspension, and went to help translate.

Whether the translation is accurate or not is another matter.

At this time, Xiaochong muttered:

"It said that it had just returned from the mountains on the north bank, and that there was no official level of 'First City' on the road."

He can really translate... But a single "meow" can cover so many meanings? Jiang Baimian sighed silently, looked at the sleeping cat quickly, and asked:

"Is that road passable for cars?"

"Meow!" Sleeping Cat's voice was a little more impatient.

Xiaochong answered while playing the game:

"Can."

Jiang Baimian did not hide his joy, and asked calmly:

"Can you take us that way?"

"Meow!" Sleeping Cat's meow became short.

"From 6 o'clock in the evening to 6 o'clock in the morning, you can choose a time yourself." Xiaochong looked at the computer screen and said without looking back.

Hearing this, the recovered Long Yuehong, Bai Chen and other talents had the doubts that Jiang Baimian had just now:

"So much to say with one 'meow'? Is this the cat language

"Uh, Anmianmao can really understand human speech, Xiaochong didn't even help with the two-way translation..."

At this time, Zeng Duo and Han Wanghuo also saw that Xiaochong was unusual, and had a certain degree of understanding of Xue Yueyue's team who came to cook and clean in a dangerous situation.

"Then it's seven o'clock in the evening." Jiang Baimian pondered for a while before answering.

If the time is later, there will be fewer pedestrians on the street, there will be not many vehicles passing by, and they will easily attract attention. Before seven o'clock, the summer sun has not completely set, and there is natural light.

This time, Sleeping Cat didn't make a sound, and responded by yawning.

"It said 'Okay, follow it when the time comes'." Xiaochong dutifully completed the translation work.

After confirming this matter, Jiang Baimian stood up.

She glanced at Han Wanghuo and Zeng Duo and said with a smile:

"You can't be idle either, tidy up the bedroom."

She deliberately didn't say "you are not healthy, just rest next to you", but just arranged the easiest task for the two of them.

Han Wanghuo and Zeng Duo agreed immediately.

When night fell, Narcissus, the owner of the "virtual world", still stayed in the building next to the parking lot on the northwest side of Antana Street, but changed from standing to sitting.

"Will the prophecy of the 'Enlightened One' be inaccurate?" In the room next to Narcissus, Constance, a middle-aged and elderly gentleman, said hesitantly.

Theodore's eyes stared straight ahead:

"Prophecy is always fulfilled in a way that no prophet can predict, so don't take it too seriously.

"Also, those monks' prophecies often have only a vague hint, and it's normal to misinterpret them."

Although if he could rely on the prophecy to catch Xue Yueyue and Zhang Qubing's team, the small mistakes that Theodore made before would definitely be exposed, but he still had something to say, and his expectations would not affect his judgment.

"It looks like we'll have to wait here until the early hours of the morning." Constance looked around. "Take a look at the previous surveillance footage. Maybe you can find the details that the prophecy really points to. Anyway, we have nothing to do."

After "taking over" the parking lot due to the prophecy, the "Hand of Order" deployed supplies and replaced all the broken cameras with intact ones.

"Okay." Theodore raised his hand and rubbed his eyes.

The inability to move his eyes all the time made his eyesight tired easily.

At this moment, the wall-like sheriff Wall returned to the room from the outside.

"How is it, is your line profitable?" Constance asked.

Wall nodded:

"It is now certain that the person Xue Yueyue and Zhang Qubing rescued on the street really had a problem.

"From various feedbacks, he is suspected to be an intelligence officer of a certain force."

"Have you caught anyone?" Theodore was refreshed.

Wall sighed, shook his head and said:

"He appeared again this morning, and no one has seen him since."

"It seems to have been warned." Constance nodded lightly.

Wall instead said:

"However, I did find someone with a very complex background to him.

"That person's name is Old K. He has connections with several veterans and a number of nobles. On the surface, he is an import and export businessman. What, I don't know yet.

"The person Xue Yueyue and Zhang Qu were rescued was named Giuseppe. He used to be old K's assistant and was trusted by him. Later, he slept with old K's mistress and moved to his rival 'Red Army'. There."

"Old K didn't even think of a way to kill him?" Constance, who has been wandering in the circle of noblewomen all the year round, laughed and joked with a smile.

Wall smiled:

"Why do you think Xue Yueyi and Zhang Qubing wanted to save him

"Well, I'll find him as soon as possible."

Constance nodded:

"If you can figure out which force he works for, the whole thing will be very clear."

Having said that, Constance glanced at Theodore, who was still observing the parking lot, and raised his right hand:

"Let's eat something first, then watch the surveillance video, and wait for the guy who checked the source of the vehicle to come back. Hey, I hope there will be some gains."

At seven o'clock in the evening, the "old tune team" moved all the weapons and other materials to the car.

In order to show the calmness of themselves and others, they did not let Han Wanghuo and Zeng Duo separate, but let the other party drive the dark black off-road vehicle, and just sent Genova to help - otherwise, they would be stuffed with all kinds of things. The Jeep couldn't sit at all.

Looking at the sleeping cat who sometimes trotted in the shadows on the street and sometimes walked on top of the house, Jiang Baimian stepped on the accelerator and started the car.

She didn't let Bai Chen drive because on the next road, in order to avoid humans, the sleeping cat would often travel in invisible places on the street, and could only rely on bioelectric signal sensing and distorted biological awareness sensing to make positioning. .

Therefore, at present, she and Shang Jianyao can only take turns driving.

The two cars drove out of Jinmaisui District and headed towards the northeast.

Seeing this, Jiang Baimian breathed a sigh of relief, because she didn't know how far the temporary checkpoints of "Hand of Order" had been set up. She thought that if she went to Antana Street and the factory area, the risk of exposure would be very high.

In this way, they passed through the red giant wolf area, entered the green olive area, and finally saw a familiar area under the light of the street lamps.

West Port!

The Westport of the first city!

At this time, many ships were moored on the edge of the Red River, warehouses and container piles were quietly crawling in the dark, and there were port guards patrolling by from time to time.

Sleeping Cat jumped out of the shadows on the side of the road and walked towards Pier 1 with graceful steps and proud head.

"It's so-called road is here?" Long Yuehong's mind flashed such an idea.
