This continuous mountain range is called Yunshan. If you want to bypass it, you can either go northwest and pass through the sphere of influence of the "White Knights", or go all the way to the southeast to the great plain where the terrain is relieved, where is the "First City" "The front line confronting the "Salvation Army" is the defense area of the former Eastern Corps.
In the old world, Yunshan was not an insurmountable natural danger. Many bridges and tunnels connected the two sides together. But today, many bridges have collapsed, many tunnels have been blocked, and only a few routes are left to cross the mountains and mountains. , and this is guarded by people from the "First City" and "The Salvation Army".
Bai Chen in the driving area released a hand and pointed to a road ahead:
"From here, you can climb over the clouds and mountains, and you won't encounter particularly strict inspections.
"It belongs to a lower-level road in the old world. It travels around the mountains and does not rely on tunnels and bridges. Although many places have collapsed in the middle, it is still barely enough for a large car to pass."
Jiang Baimian first nodded "hmmm", then asked curiously:
"Xiao Bai, haven't you been here before? Why are you so familiar..."
"Because I know how to read maps." Shang Jianyao helped answer.
As Bai Chen drove the jeep to the mountain road, he explained:
"Although I've never been here, I've known it for a long time.
"At that time, the 'Salvation Army' sent people everywhere to gather the wanderers in the wilderness and organized them to go to the east of Yunshan Mountain, saying that although there was still a certain gap in food, but relying on the mountain to eat the mountain, relying on the water to drink water, and strictly following the rationing system, it would definitely still be possible. Let everyone barely survive, then work together, fight the danger together, reclaim farmland in less polluted areas, and build factories one by one, so that everyone will no longer be troubled by famine and cold…”
The more Bai Chen spoke, the slower he spoke, as if he recalled the feeling of hearing about these things for the first time.
Shang Jianyao straightened his back and pressed his left chest with his right hand:
"For all mankind!"
"For all mankind" is the slogan and ideal of the "Salvation Army", and "for all mankind" is Shang Jianyao's own, and he clearly distinguishes it.
Bai Chen ignored him and said to himself:
"At that time, a person from the 'Salvation Army' also came to our settlement. He described such a future to us, and also gave us a way to bypass the army of the 'First City' and pass through Yunshan.
"That's the way.
"Before in Prime City, when we were collecting maps and intelligence separately, I noticed it at a glance."
Long Yuehong, who listened carefully, quickly testified:
"Yes, I remember that Xiaobai specifically asked about this road at that time."
"Yes." Genova said it was.
Jiang Baimian is not so concerned about this "small road" for the time being, she is more curious about another point:
"Xiao Bai, did anyone follow you to the 'Salvation Army' in your settlement at that time?"
"There are quite a few. My parents thought about it, but because I'm still relatively young, I'm not suitable for long-distance travel, so I decided to wait a few years." Bai Chen pursed his lips, "Afterwards, they passed away, and in the last dozen or so years, they passed away. I haven't heard of the 'Salvation Army' doing anything similar in years."
"Is that so..." Jiang Baimian dismissed the topic in a silky way.
During the exchange of several members of the "Old Tuning Group", the jeep drove into the mountains.
The further you go, the more lush the trees on both sides, and the sound of birds chirping from time to time.
Less than seventy years after the destruction of the old world, the influence of human civilization on this region has only subsided for such a period of time, and nature seems to have eliminated all traces, except for the tattered, overgrown and disrepaired road.
Shang Jianyao listened to the birds chirping intently, as if thinking about the different ways of cooking in the wilderness.
He only thought of "baking", and couldn't help but raise his hand and wipe the corner of his mouth.
The jeep started and stopped, and several members of the "Old Tuning Team" would come down every once in a while to clear the impassable blocking stones or get a few trees, and set them up in some inconvenient depressions, which made the vehicles difficult to pass. The speed can't be picked up.
From early nine in the morning to more than four in the afternoon, Shang Jianyao and others were still struggling to move forward in Yunshan, but it seemed that they had already left the actual control range of "First City".
When passing through an area with high cliffs on the left and cliffs on the right, Jiang Baimian's movement of watching the scenery suddenly paused.
She was neither fast nor slow, and looked out the window quite naturally.
At the same time, she said casually:
"There are bioelectrical signals much like humans, two."
She can't make a very accurate judgment based solely on bioelectric signals, after all, many medium-sized animals are similar in physique to humans.
Shang Jianyao responded immediately:
"I don't sense human consciousness."
Long Yuehong and Bai Chen tensed their nerves.
Jiang Baimian nodded:
"Either two big 'monkeys' or two awakened ones.
"Patrols of the 'Salvation Army'?"
Since this is a covert route given by the "Salvation Army", it must be under their supervision.
"What do I do next?" Long Yuehong did not follow Jiang Baimian to look at the cliff covered with a lot of vegetation on the right.
Jiang Baimian smiled and said:
"Forget it, we are dealing with people from the 'Salvation Army' after all. Playing stupid is not necessarily a bad thing."
"Well, we also know Xu Datong of the 'Public Security Management Committee'." Long Yuehong agreed with the team leader's statement.
The core organization of the "Salvation Army" is called the "Material Coordination Committee", and the "Public Security Management Committee" directly belongs to it, which is equivalent to the product of the combination of the "Pangu Creatures" Order Supervision Department and the Security Department, which excludes external combat functions. The real power is very large.
In the old world, the "Salvation Army" is a highly unified force between the military and the government. In terms of internal affairs management, many places have a strong military color.
On the ash soil, this is not the exception, but the norm, and there are only a few places where the division between the army and the administrator is particularly clear, for example, "Pangu creatures".
Hearing Long Yuehong's words, Shang Jianyao clicked:
"How do you know that there is no political struggle within the Salvation Army, no factional rivalry
"What if you run into a political enemy of Commissioner Xu?"
Long Yuehong was speechless for a moment.
As far as the old world entertainment materials he has seen and the several forces he has experienced, there are struggles where there are people.
Jiang Baimian sneered at Shang Jianyao:
"Haven't you always believed that the 'Salvation Army' has fallen, thinking that they are still the organization full of ideals and brilliance?"
Shang Jianyao's expression darkened a little, and he couldn't hide his sadness and said:
"That's why I told the worst-case scenario ahead of time."
Uh, now is Shang Jianyao, who attaches great importance to feelings, or Shang Jianyao, who hates evil and takes saving all mankind as his mission? Jiang Baimian said to Genawa, who was driving in rotation:
"Maintain the speed just now."
Not long after, at the bend of the dangerous road, a female voice suddenly sounded:
"parking!
"Don't go any further, or you will be bombarded from a distance!"
It's in Grayscale, with a less serious accent.
Jiang Baimian looked up and found a slightly rusted loudspeaker tied to a tree on the edge of the road.
It connects the lines, and the lines are hidden in the grass.
"Stop." Jiang Baimian said to Genova as if prepared.
The jeep stopped in the middle of the road, and several members of the "Old Tunes Group" got out of the car one after another.
In such an environment, sitting in the car is not so safe, it is too easy to become a target, and it is not convenient to dodge.
"Who are you and why are you here?" The female voice sounded through the radio again.
The sound may be slightly distorted due to the old equipment.
Jiang Baimian replied:
"We are relic hunters, and we want to seek life east of Yunshan."
"Why don't you stay in the 'First City'?" the female voice asked.
She is outside the range of Shang Jian Yao's induction.
Jiang Baimian looked "helpless":
"We were unlucky and wanted by 'First City'.
"I think there should also be a hunter guild on your side. You can use them to check whether we are really wanted by the 'First City'."
"Name, hunter number." The female voice was still polite, and she didn't let the "old tune group" hand over the hunter badge directly.
After Jiang Baimian finished reporting the fake name and real number, the female voice asked:
"Why are you wanted?"
Uh... Jiang Baimian couldn't remember for a while that he and others were wanted for something in the first place.
Wanted too many times by "First City"!
"We robbed three military exoskeleton devices and two bionic intelligent armors!" Bai Chen, Long Yuehong, and Genava teamed up and failed to stop Shang Jianyao from exposing himself.
There was silence on the other side.
Shang Jianyao followed with a smile and said:
"Kidding."
The other side was still silent.
After a while, the female voice came through the radio again:
"After confirmation, you are indeed wanted by the 'First City', and the bounty is very high.
"And you haven't been arrested until today, which shows that you are very strong."
"Yes, yes." Shang Jianyao was not humble at all.
Jiang Baimian smiled and said:
"But we came with kindness, and our final destination was the ice fields.
"You shouldn't exclude foreign hunters, right?"
At least no one has mentioned that the "Salvation Army" does not allow relic hunters from other forces to enter.
"Icefield?" The female voice suddenly took on something strange.
She paused for a few seconds before saying:
"We just don't welcome the kind of relic hunter who acts as a spy.
"You can move on. You can't enter the settlement when you encounter a settlement. You can only camp outside unless you have undergone further inspections."
Seeing that the communication was normal and smooth, Jiang Baimian breathed a sigh of relief:
"OK."
