The "Old Tuning Team" did not go directly to the ruins of Wasteland No. 13 to investigate the Holm Reproductive Medical Center because there were still some preliminary preparations to do.
On the one hand, the route they planned was to enter from the cave where the giant white wolves haunted the mountains on the north bank. After all, the destination was closely guarded by the army of the "First City". The identity of the relic hunters has been exposed, and the "First City" has traced the tasks they once participated in. Jiang Baimian is not sure whether this powerful force like clouds has mastered this secret passage and put it into custody.
At that time, the lone hunters who had explored the ruins of Wasteland No. 13 with the "Old Tuning Team", died and left, Jiang Baimian was not worried that the "First City" would get relevant information from them, but apart from these people, The "Old Tuning Group" has also invited a guide, so there is a possibility of leaks.
If such a thing really happened, the "old tune group" can only find a way to enter the ruins of Wasteland 13.
Therefore, Jiang Baimian hopes to confirm this problem from multiple sources of information, and does not want to slam into the open net.
She has now learned through the company from Conna, the owner of the swearing parrot, that the "Hand of Order" in "First City" originally wanted to investigate the tasks that the "Old Tune Group" took over, but then a series of events happened here. The matter, including the far-reaching turmoil, was left unresolved by the corresponding investigation.
On the other hand, the ruins of Wasteland No. 13 is a very dangerous place, and Genava is suspected to have the backhand of "Origin Brain". will go.
The jeep drove for ten minutes and stopped in front of a three-story khaki building.
This is the Wugo Hotel that Jiang Baimian and others are very familiar with.
The hotel's business seemed to have become very bad. When the "Old Key Group" entered the lobby, only the slightly haggard, dark-skinned and blond owner Hugo was alone.
His face was pale and his hair was wet as he was burying his head in arranging things, as if he had just experienced a torture.
Shang Jianyao walked over excitedly, "pressing" his voice and said:
"Are you abusing yourself again
"Have you felt the 'real me' this time?"
Hugo looked up at him and said calmly:
"I can't share my feelings with someone who hasn't experienced it."
"Oh, oh..." Shang Jianyao looked eager to try.
Ugo turned his attention to Xue Yueyue and Qian Bai:
"How many rooms do you want?"
"We're not staying in a hotel this time." Jiang Baimian laughed.
Hugo wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel:
"Then what are you going to do?"
Bai Chen looked around subconsciously, Jiang Baimian smiled and replied:
"Want to inquire about something from the general."
The general refers to General Phokas, the most senior and prestige general of the "First City" but in semi-retirement, only in charge of part of the city defense army.
He converted to "Dawn", the executive year of February, and was a high-ranking member of the "True Self Sect", and the hotel owner Ugo also belonged to this sect.
Ugo glanced at Long Yuehong, Genava and others, and said without any fluctuations in his tone:
"The city defense army is no longer affiliated with the general."
"Has he completely retired?" Shang Jianyao asked curiously.
Ugo shook his head:
"The new consul, Marshal Gaius, attaches great importance to the general, and asked him to return to active duty to replace him as the army commander of the Eastern Legion.
"A week ago, the general had set off and was not in the city."
Gaius's skills are very clever... Jiang Baimian's first reaction was to sigh inwardly when he heard this.
As the newly appointed consul and military commander who came to power by turmoil, Gaius must have the city defense army in his own hands in order to feel at ease.
But Phocas, who was in charge of the city defense army before, has the qualifications, prestige and background, so he is not so easy to deal with. A little carelessness may cause another turmoil.
In the face of this situation, Gaius chose to retreat to advance, holding Phocas higher, giving him more power, and letting him take over his direct line, the Eastern Legion.
In this way, it is naturally not good for Phokas to rely on the position of the chief officer of the city defense army, and the Eastern Legion has been painstakingly managed by Gaius for several years, and it is impossible to change a legion commander and not obey his orders.
At the same time, Gaius also indirectly showed the "True Self Teaching" behind Phokas, as well as the "Dawn" of the "True Self Teaching" belief, which can be regarded as serving multiple purposes.
The art of trading... As soon as Jiang Baimian had such an idea, Shang Jianyao blurted out with regret and heartache:
"He still owes us a celebration feast!"
Just ran away!
Wu Ge's expression changed a little, Jiang Baimian hurriedly coughed:
"What we want to inquire about does not require the general to be in the city, nor does he need to be in charge of the city defense army. As long as he uses a little of his personal connections, we can solve our troubles."
Ugo regained the look of indifference when someone hanged himself in front of him:
"What can you come up with to impress the general?"
What can impress him? I haven't said that I was pitted by your general last time, and I collided directly with Assus and Kristina, almost killing Xiaohong! Jiang Baimian's heart was turbulent, but his face was full of smiles:
"We're going to wasteland 13 ruins and want to know what is the safe way to get in.
"Didn't you always want to get the information that Ole hid in that secret laboratory? If we have something, we will share it with you afterwards."
Hehe, we will only go to the Hom Reproductive Medical Center. It is impossible to have any harvest in this area. Naturally, we will not be able to share it at that time. The picture of what he did on the "cruise ship" - in order to restore the truth, he made a face and made a "slightly slightly" sound.
Wu Ge digested Jiang Baimian's words:
"I can help you convey it, but I can't promise you."
Jiang Baimian said "um":
"If there is no safe enough route, then please provide the general guards on the passages of the ruins of wasteland No. 13, and we will find a way."
She did not mention the matter of the passage in the mountains on the north bank, but sought confirmation in a euphemistic way, lest Phokas and the "prime" city military system did not know the information in this regard, so they grasped it, and it was a mess.
—If the guarding situation provided by Phokas does not include the information about the mountains on the north bank, then combined with Kang Na’s feedback, the “Old Tuning Team” can preliminarily confirm that the passage is safe.
"Okay." Hugo agreed, "How can I contact you in the future?"
"We will visit you regularly." Jiang Baimian chose the safest way, not even leaving the telegraph frequency band.
As for how long the period is, of course, the "old tune group" has the final say. Anyway, Ugo spends most of his time in his hotel.
Seeing that Ugo had no objection, Shang Jianyao changed the subject:
"Your business here has become so bad, what's wrong?"
Hugo glanced at him:
"Many low-level citizens joined the army and received training. Initially, the number of relic hunters in the city and surrounding areas dropped drastically."
Speaking of which, Hugo seemed to remember one thing:
"Last year, when you were still in Prime City, an Awakener jumped out of a helicopter and fell to his death. Did you do it?"
The owner of the "virtual world"? Jiang Baimian hadn't considered whether to answer or not, but Shang Jianyao patted his chest with a proud face:
"Yes, I did!"
Ugo rarely showed a puzzled expression and looked up and down this guy.
He didn't know the actual situation, but he knew that General Phokas was very concerned about this matter.
After chatting about the changes in the situation in Zhencheng, the "Old Tune Group" left the hotel and returned to the street.
After sitting in the jeep, Shang Jianyao nags to himself:
"The business environment in the first city has deteriorated a lot, and I don't know how Suna's fast food restaurant is now..."
Suna... Long Yuehong was startled for a moment before she remembered that it was the gray-soiled woman rescued by her team from the "wolf's den".
Jiang Baimian nodded lightly and said:
"Turn over to take a look, then make a good disguise, go to the Hunter Guild, and confirm the current situation of the first city through the released quest."
Bai Chen didn't object, and drove the jeep to the port.
Because it was daytime, and there were not many pedestrians in the Green Olive District, the "Old Tunes Group" arrived at the port not long after.
Seeing the ships coming and going here, there are many sailors, and a lot of materials have been transported to the warehouse, Jiang Baimian immediately knew the situation of Su Na and the others in the fast food restaurant.
- The "prime city" that is about to be developed is frantically stocking up supplies, the port is extremely prosperous, and the sailors are enough to support the business of the fast food restaurant.
As Jiang Baimian expected, at the bottom of the building where the original "Wolf's Den" was, Su Na and the others were still busy with smiles on their faces.
"When the 'First City' officially begins to expand, the situation here will probably change a lot, and their business may not be able to continue." Jiang Baimian retracted his gaze and sighed, "Find an opportunity to remind them, let They were ready early."
"Yeah." Bai Chen was the first to respond.
For some reason, Long Yuehong remembered the wilderness wanderer settlement that was slaughtered by the "unintentional".
Security on the dust is always so fragile.
The longer people live in such an environment, the more numb they become, and in the end they have to believe in whoever is old and put their spirit on it.
…
After detouring to the first city hunter guild, the disguised "old tune group" divided into two teams and entered the hall.
Looking around, Jiang Baimian saw an acquaintance.
That was the relic hunter they had worked with before, Odik.
