Jiang Baimian didn't expect the other party to ask such a very simple thing, and after a little thought, he replied:
"If you follow the normal route, you can get there in two or three days. If you encounter the flooding of Angry Lake, you need to take a detour, which may take more than a week."
These guys don't sound like they've been to a redstone set... what are they doing there? Buy all kinds of smuggled goods? Long Yuehong, who was listening in, extracted the key points of the conversation just now.
Without waiting for the other party to respond, Jiang Baimian said in a joking tone:
"Aren't you looking for a guide?"
"I found it." The younger man's expression changed slightly, "He is not a thing..."
The older man with the national character face glanced at his companion and stopped him from continuing to speak.
He laughed to himself:
"We're not very familiar with this place, and the guide we looked for was not so reliable, and we almost got lost."
He admits that his team is unfamiliar with this area, as this can easily be deduced from their question about how long the redstone set is.
A guide is not a thing? Jiang Baimian repeated in his heart what the young man had just said.
This gave her a guess:
Could the attack that happened last night be caused by that guide
After he was hired by this team, he bullied them as outsiders, colluded with robber gangs, left a mark, and planned to cooperate with each other and make a fortune
"You are not lost." The honest Shang Jianyao pointed out the loophole in the other party's words, "You are on the right path now."
The older man glanced at Shang Jianyao and explained with a smile:
"I said it's about to happen. In fact, we don't know which direction to go next, so we can only come and ask you."
Shang Jianyao hurriedly pointed in the direction when he came:
"First rule it out."
You don't need to tell me, normal humans all know... uh, except for Lu Chi like the team leader... Long Yue slandered a few words, but didn't dare to say it.
In order to prevent Shang Jianyao from continuing to be "disgraceful", Jiang Baimian raised his right hand and planned to show the way.
Wait a moment! Commander, are you unaware? Long Yuehong tried to stop it, but couldn't speak.
What's the difference between this and a blind man showing the way
While Shang Jianyao's face was "horrified", Bai Chen said before Jiang Baimian:
"You keep going in this direction until you see Angry Lake, then go south along the lake and find a large ruined city."
The route she provided is clear, the markers are clear, and there are no twists and turns in the middle, so people can understand it at once, and they think there should be no problem.
The older man sketched the map in his mind and asked:
"Are there any other city ruins on the way?"
The reason why redstone collections are hard to find is because of the huge urban clusters in the old world in the old world and the surrounding area.
"It was there before I arrived at the Angry Lake, but I didn't go to the south." Bai Chen explained briefly.
This is all confirmed by the "Old Tuning Group" before.
"In other words, the Redstone Collection is really not far away... No wonder you can get there in two or three days if you say fast." The older man showed a relieved smile, "You are regular visitors to the Redstone Collection."
Otherwise, you will not be so familiar with the road.
"I've been there twice." Jiang Baimian said that he couldn't really tell the truth.
Of course, she didn't mention that only twice, the "old tune group" turned the red stone set upside down, and the power structure has changed a lot.
The older man nodded and didn't ask any further questions:
"What kind of compensation do we need to pay?"
Jiang Baimian saw that Shang Jianyao was lost in thought, not knowing what request he would make, and hurriedly said with a smile:
"Just a few cans."
"Okay." The older man turned his head and said to his companion, "Go and get eight cans from the car."
His voice was thick and dignified.
The young man immediately turned around and walked towards the dark mountain bike parked ten meters away.
Taking advantage of this free time, the older man continued to ask:
"What do I need to pay attention to in the redstone set?"
"Learn to play hide and seek." Shang Jianyao's expression was sincere and serious.
The older man was silent for a few seconds after hearing the words, and then asked thoughtfully:
"The people there mainly believe in 'Yougu'?"
"Yes." Shang Jianyao raised his hands, crossed them against his chest, and took a step back, "Distance is our friend!"
"You also believe in 'Yougu'?" the older man asked with a little interest.
Shang Jianyao thought about it and said:
"It depends."
Just because of your piety, the executives didn't kill you with a single lightning strike. It was definitely because they hadn't discussed who would take the shot... Jiang Baimian muttered silently.
Then, she reminded the other side:
"When you arrive at the Redstone Set, you need to find a town resident in the ruins of the city and let him lead the way before you can reach your destination.
"This is a folk custom there. Those who have been there can't tell other people the specific location of the red stone set."
The older man didn't show an embarrassed expression, just nodded:
"thanks."
At this time, his companion came back with eight cans.
Canned sardines, canned elbows with sauce... Long Yuehong glanced at it and found that the category was a little different from what he often eats.
After Jiang Baimian took the can, the older man bid farewell.
He took his companions, returned to the car, and drove towards the large troop.
Throughout the process, they have basic precautions, but are not particularly vigilant.
"I have some confidence in my own strength..." Jiang Baimian sighed after watching the dark mountain bike go away.
She looked down at the can in her hand, and suddenly smiled:
"Guess where did these people come from?"
Bai Chen recalled the conversation just now and said unhurriedly:
"They're trying to control their accents, but they're still showing a little bit of a trick.
"They're supposed to be from the north-east of the ash, or have a lot of dealings with people there."
Hearing that the northeastern part of the mainland and the fact that the team were all gray people, Long Yuehong had a guess:
"People from the 'Salvation Army'?"
The "White Knights" and the east of "First City" belong to the "Salvation Army".
Jiang Baimian laughed in a low voice:
"Anyway, the categories of these cans seem to come from over there.
"Moreover, their demeanor is neat and tidy, and the overall order is orderly, like soldiers rather than robbers and hunters."
Perhaps for smuggling, the cans in Jiang Baimian's hands were not marked with the manufacturer.
Shang Jianyao got excited, stretched out his right hand, pressed it on his left chest, and bowed straight to the rest of the group:
"For all mankind!"
He looks like he's going to go to those people now to "reminisce"!
Jiang Baimian stopped him:
"Let's talk about it when we arrive at the Redstone Set.
"I don't know why they came to Angry Lake..."
The "Salvation Army" and the Nu Lake area were separated from the "First City", so their influence could hardly penetrate, and there were very few of their people working here.
"In order to open up a smuggling route?" Bai Chen guessed.
Jiang Baimian nodded lightly and said with consideration:
"After the turmoil in the 'First City', there was a tendency to shift the conflict out, and the 'Salvation Army' bore the brunt.
"In this way, it is normal for them to plan and reserve resources in various ways."
Returning to the dark mountain bike of the large army, the young man in the driving area glanced at the older companion beside him and said respectfully:
"Commissioner Xu, the most active man in the team just now should be an Awakener, but I'm not sure if it's at the level of the 'Spiritual Corridor'.
"There may be other Awakeneds among them."
The older man known as Commissioner Xu nodded lightly:
"His price currently looks like a lack of self-control, which is in 'last man' territory.
"But there are still many costs of similar performance, and it is not certain for the time being."
…
When the team suspected to be from the "Salvation Army" left the river and headed towards the direction pointed by Bai Chen, several members of the "Old Tune Team" calmly finished their lunch and got on the jeep.
Jiang Baimian glanced at Shang Jianyao in the back row:
"You can take a nap and go into that mental shadow again to see what's out of the ordinary."
Shang Jianyao was eager to try it.
…
"Soul Corridor", in room "912".
After Shang Jianyao entered, he thought he would appear at the pier, which is the starting point of the psychological shadow, but found that he came directly to the cruise ship cabin.
"Can it be archived here?" Shang Jianyao looked surprised.
This way you don't have to go back to the starting point every time and start all over again!
He looked around, raised his hand and rubbed his chin:
"This is another unusual point.
"Also, when we boarded the cruise ship before, it wasn't completely dark, and now the bright moon hangs high outside."
At this time, a dark cloud flowed past, blocking the moon.
Relying on the lighting of the aisle wall lamp, Shang Jianyao pushed open a door next to him.
This is the room he entered last time, and he wants to see how the people in it are now.
The next second, Shang Jianyao saw the pair of men and women who had fought fiercely before.
But now, one of them is standing beside the bed, keeping his back straight and hitting the air, while the other is holding his chest, spinning back and forth in the near-door area, as if he had lost his way in such a small place.
