Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 617: Wilderness Daily

Views:

The "Old Tuning Team" stayed in the outer area of the ruins of Tieshan City for another day, but they still didn't wait for the special "high-level unintentional person", and then they pulled out and headed north to the first city, in order to explore the Huo Huo in the ruins of wasteland No. 13. Preparing for the Reproductive Medical Center.

After driving around various polluted areas and dangerous areas for nearly two days, Genova glanced at the wilderness outside:

"There is a homeless settlement nearby, do you want to go over to replenish some supplies?"

This is the place he passed by when he went south from the first city before.

Bai Chen is not familiar with this wilderness, because she has never been there.

Jiang Baimian in the co-pilot position thought for a moment and said:

"Can."

Although the Jeep of the "Old Tune Group" has been remodeled and has a wider trunk, three military exoskeleton devices and two bionic intelligent armors still occupy a lot of space, plus bullets, grenades, grenades, and rockets. , high explosives and spare weapons, there is not much room for the rest of the supplies.

With the help of true "smart navigation", the jeep passed through a grove and a few domes to a settlement built on topography and old-world ruins.

When the vehicle was more than 100 meters away from the destination, Shang Jianyao suddenly sat up straight:

"There's no one in there."

"They migrated?" Bai Chen made a guess while slowing down.

This is a fairly common occurrence on grey soils, and every few years, or even shorter, wilderness wanderers will change their prey range due to exposure of location information, drastic changes in weather, environmental problems, aberrations and "mindless ones", etc. The reason is to leave the current settlement and migrate to a safer place.

"Impossible." Genova answered affirmatively, "When I passed by before, they were plowing in the farmland behind the settlement."

Humans who are about to migrate will not do such a waste of resources.

The honest Shang Jianyao immediately retorted:

"Maybe it was just these few days that they were discovered by the slave-catching team of the 'First City'."

Had to move quickly.

Between a carbon-based man and a silicon-based man, Jeep approached its destination.

"It's true that there are no human bioelectric signals." Jiang Baimian affirmed Shang Jianyao's previous discovery.

The gate of the settlement is made of pieces of wood, and at this time, one side is half-closed and the other side is open.

Bai Chen's eyes swept away, and he said in a deep voice:

"There is blood in the ground."

Her observation position is better than that of Genawa, Long Yuehong, and Shang Jianyao, while Jiang Baimian is focusing on induction.

Several members of the "Old Tune Group" followed the sound and saw that there were several pools of bloodstains that were already dark red and black outside the gate.

This gave Long Yuehong a bad feeling.

He remembered what happened to Black Rat.

"Were attacked?" Jiang Baimian asked Jeep to stop.

She carried the grenade gun and the individual combat bazooka, and pushed out the door.

Shang Jianyao and others followed closely and entered the settlement one by one.

Some of the houses here are from the old world and have been renovated later, and some are newly built from wood. The two styles are mixed and bring a unique charm.

Just like what Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian sensed, there are no human beings here, but there are obvious bloodstains left in many places.

They are either splashed on the wall, or splashed far from the ground, and can be seen around almost any house.

A massacre... Such an idea suddenly popped into Long Yuehong's mind.

In the ensuing search, he accumulated some doubts:

Since there is a suspected massacre, why is there not a single corpse here, and only occasionally can find fingers, rotten meat and other things

It's impossible that the wilderness wanderers who settled here are all blown to pieces, right

Even if this is the case, the amount of remaining flesh and blood is not correct!

Also, all weapons in the settlement were gone, including items such as hatchets.

In addition to this, quilts, blankets, clothes and various foods also disappeared.

-These must have existed originally, otherwise the wilderness wanderers in the settlement would not be able to survive the winter.

However, there are also metal utensils accumulated in each house for trading other resources, as well as two oil-fired generators.

After checking, Bai Chen pursed his lips and said:

"The initial judgment is that it was attacked by the 'unintentional' group."

Seeing Long Yuehong's puzzled expression, she simply explained:

"If it was a band of robbers or a slave hunter, neither generators nor metal items would be left behind, which are sometimes more valuable than slaves.

"In the case of aberrations or other beasts, weapons, clothing, quilts and blankets will not be taken.

"Only an attack by the 'unintentional' group would leave such a scene."

Having said that, Bai Chen concluded:

"Many wanderers in the wilderness think that the 'Mindless' who lack food in winter are the most aggressive and most dangerous. In fact, the same is true of the 'Mindless' in spring. After the long winter is over, the 'Mindless' who can survive are often exhausted. I've run out of food and I'm in urgent need of replenishment."

Jiang Baimian has only experienced the attack on human settlements by the "unintentional" group a few times while serving in other brigades of the Ministry of Security. With their help, those settlements that are attached to "Pangu creatures" have survived the crisis smoothly. , did not encounter the current disaster.

At this moment, she sighed and said:

"The wanderers who can survive in the wilderness will not relax in this kind of thing. It seems that they are crushed by strength..."

"It's also possible that there wasn't a strong 'unintentional' group here, but a group suddenly migrated after the beginning of spring." Bai Chen recalled what he had encountered and heard of.

Jiang Baimian glanced at the silent Shang Jianyao and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Now, what should I do?" Long Yuehong asked.

It is obviously impossible to exchange supplies. What he wants to ask is whether to rest here and leave tomorrow, or to continue on the road while it is still early.

Shang Jianyao suddenly turned his head and asked Genova:

"Are there any other Wild Wanderer settlements nearby?"

"There are three more within twenty kilometers." Genova replied.

Bai Chen followed up and said:

"They should not have been attacked.

"The food harvested from here is enough for the 'unintentional' to survive for a long time, and in this case, their aggression will be much lower."

This is the same as when many beasts are full, lazy and do not want to attack people.

Moreover, hunting too much in one go, and it cannot be preserved for a long time, will result in a great waste. For the "unintentional" whose IQ is slightly higher than that of beasts, it is better to continue "stocking".

Shang Jianyao laughed and proposed:

"Would you like to clear that 'unintentional' group?"

"With the strength they have shown, if an attack is launched, the other three settlements should not be able to resist..." Jiang Baimian pondered, "You can try, but you can't be reckless."

For the current "old tune group", this is a matter of convenience and will not be too difficult.

Near the evening, when the clouds on the horizon were still red, after the collection, comparison and analysis of environmental information by Genova and Long Yuehong, the "Old Tune Team" tracked down the target group.

They hide within a larger hill and occupy a hidden cave.

Genova put on the "Chameleon" bionic intelligent armor, sneaked to a closer place, and made a careful observation.

"There are four 'Mindless' guards at the entrance of the cave. Their weapons are shotguns, rifles, shotguns and submachine guns." Genova returned to the jeep and started reporting.

"Their weapons are not weak... They looted the harvest of the former wilderness wanderer settlement?" Jiang Baimian said half in doubt and half in emotion.

Bai Chen pursed his lips and said:

"This is on the one hand, on the other hand, from the previous scene, their own firepower is not weak."

Genova went on to say:

"There will be a unique aura overflowing from time to time in the cave, making the four 'Mindless' who act as guards tremble with fear."

"Trembling with fear?" Jiang Baimian muttered to himself.

"A 'high-level unintentional person'?" Shang Jianyao was a little excited.

Long Yuehong suddenly realized:

"No wonder they were able to crush the former wilderness wanderer settlement."

This group of "unintentional ones" not only has plenty of firepower, but also has a leader equivalent to the awakened ones!

"In this way, there may be some problems with their origins." Jiang Baimian said thoughtfully.

The number of "high-level unintentional people" is quite small. Only in the ruins of large cities can there be thousands of "unintentional people". And the "unintentional people" in this cave, according to Genova's observation, will not appear. over fifty.

Of course, there are exceptions to this kind of thing, and no matter how small the probability is, it means it may happen.

After a little pondering, Jiang Baimian gave the order:

"Wear your gear and prepare for the unexpected.

"Xiaobai, enter the sniper position; Xiaohong, you and Lao Ge are in the front, I will support you; hey, you exert influence at the end and control the audience."

After some busy work, Bai Chen, who was wearing the military exoskeleton device, followed Genava to a sniper spot he had just found during the reconnaissance.

This is on top of a half-withered tree, and you can see the four "Mindless People" guarding the entrance of the cave nearly 300 meters away.
