Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 15 Overnight

Jiang Baiman hearing this turned around and looked over.

At the same time, she quickly drew out the “ice moss” gun with 9mm bullets.

Jiang Baiman observed carefully for a while, then asked:

“Have you seen what the silhouette looks like?”

Shang Jianyao was on guard while replied:

“The clothes are ragged, but they are very thick, just like a groundhog.”

Jiang Baiman is not nervous, he blurts out in surprise:

“Do you know what a groundhog is?”

If she remembers correctly, Shang Jianyao is the first time she left the company and came to the surface, and inside the company, the only place where groundhogs will appear It is a “research area”, which does not match the identity of Shang Jianyao who just graduated from University.

The only reason she can think of is that there are pictures of groundhogs in the textbooks. Shang Jianyao made a judgment based on this, but it is difficult for people who have not seen the real thing to have such an association.

Shang Jianyao’s other finger without a gun pointed to the other side of the river:

“There is one there.

“It looks like the picture in the textbook. . “

“…” Jiang Baiman followed Shang Jianyao’s fingers and looked over, and he found a groundhog that was highly nervous.

The groundhog gave a cry. Going back into the hole.

“Keen observation. “Jiang Baiman held back for a long time and gave an evaluation.

Bai Chen looked up at the sky:

“This season, at this point in time, he wears such thick clothes and only A person should be a wanderer in the wilderness. Don’t worry too much, we are so crowded and armed, he dare not approach.

“The only problem is that he may have contact with some bandit groups, which will cause a little trouble, but we will not stay here for too long and will leave soon.”

“If there is a band of bandits, just let you practice your hands!” Jiang Baiman retracted his gaze and looked at Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong said with a smile.

Long Yuehong’s heart trembled:

“Team leader, don’t you worry about the robber group with a lot of people and the firepower?”

Jiang Baiman said with a laugh:

“It’s not too far away from the company. The Ministry of Security often sends teams to train and exercise. There are so many robber groups with fierce firepower and they have long been cleared.

” Moreover, many bandit groups above the earth may be different from what you think. They are closer to the “warm” state where the Wanderers hug each other in order to survive. There will not be too many guns or too many people. Because they could not get enough supplies. Sometimes, the thinner guys in the bandit are the food reserves of other people.

“Of course, the famous bandit groups are not very easy to deal with. They have all found a way to keep themselves alive for a long time.”

Reserve food…Long Yuehong heard it Inexplicably horrified:

“Team leader, how can you describe such a cruel thing in such a plain tone?”

“Wait for you to stay on the earth for a long time, see more, You are used to it.” Jiang Baiman looked down towards the hot water bottle on the solar charging board.

Shang Jianyao is still guarding all around, but this does not prevent him from asking questions and mastering knowledge:

“Why do you call the people in the settlement also the wilderness wanderers? He is the real wilderness wanderer.”

Bai Chen pulled the scarf around his neck, and said with a slightly solemn expression:

“Because settlements are never stable.

/p>

“The changes in water sources, the quality of the land, the weather, and the migration of monsters all affect whether a place can be used as a settlement. Once the environment changes, people will wander again and find a new settlement.

“Of all the factors, the one that has the greatest impact on them and makes them migrate more frequently is actually whether they have been discovered by the big forces.”

“Why?” Long Yuehong asked curiously Tao.

Bai Chen glanced at him:

“Above the earth, the most notorious group is not the biggest bandit groups, but the slave arresters of the’First City’ Team’, they often break settlements, take people back, and act as slaves.

“In the mines occupied by’First City’, in the factories built, countless slaves became corpses. “

Jiang Baiman nodded lightly and added:

“Some bandit groups will do the same, especially those that occupy mineral deposits. “

“If it weren’t for the’slavery team’ of’First City’, the bandit group would also be captured. I think the most active industry on the earth now is the slave trade. “Bai Chen didn’t know what it was that he recalled, and he brought it back and turned the topic back. “In addition, many settlements cannot fully feed all the residents. They must often leave the settlements to find fruits in the wilderness, hunt wild beasts, and pick up various settlements. Planting items to exchange what they need, from this perspective, they are still wild wanderers. “

Long Yuehong listened and thought of himself.

Although he could only eat meat once a week in that many years, he often woke up hungry in the middle of the night, but at least basically It’s not a problem to have enough food and clothing.

Compared with those wild wanderers, he is like living in paradise.

“It’s really pitiful…” Long Yuehong said with emotion.

Bai Chen glanced at him:

“It’s really pitiful, but when you meet the wanderers in the wilderness, it is best not to be too soft. The only difference between them and the robbers is that they are hungry. To what extent, what is your weapon, and is it adequately guarded?

“When I was wandering in the wilderness, I was often attacked by people, and often attacked others. In the eyes of the wanderers in the wilderness, there are no good people and no bad people, only living and dead.”

p>

She didn’t say these few words too loudly, so Jiang Baiman had to spend Strength of Nine Bulls and Two Tigers to barely hear them.

This ponytailed “Pangu Biology” D6 employee shook the head:

“It can’t be so absolute. I have encountered many people who know how to be grateful and are willing to respond with kindness to kindness. Wilderness wanderer.”

“For example?” Shang Jianyao asked.

Jiang Baiman showed a brilliant smile:

“For example, Bai Chen!”

Bai Chen was silent for a long time and said:

“Team leader, the water is boiling!”

Jiang Baiman nodded, to Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong:

“Go to the car and get all four water bladders.”

After filling up the water, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong began to learn how to drive the jeep.

Because the road is wide, there are no other vehicles, and there is no need to park the car in a fixed range, and the two are a new generation of genetically modified, concentration, reaction speed, hand and foot coordination They are all excellent, so they have almost mastered the skill of driving as easy as blowing off dust.

“There is a feeling of flying.” Long Yuehong reluctantly gave up the driver’s seat to Bai Chen.

Shang Jianyao agrees with nodded.

If it weren’t for the soft road here, and getting closer and closer to Great Swamp, the situation became complicated and he could drive the car to fly.

“It’s getting dark, be careful.” When Long Yuehong sat back in the back row, Bai Chen stepped on the gas pedal and said, “There is an abandoned building complex in front of it, which is said to be the old world. The rest stop next to the highway, we will camp there tonight.”

Jiang Baiman took the opportunity to teach Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong:

“The reason why we don’t continue to drive after dark , Not because there may be more dangerous creatures in the night, basically, you will encounter it during the day. The main reason is that after dark, there is insufficient light and the range of visibility is greatly reduced.

“This will make it difficult for us to spot potholes and swamps ahead of time. Similarly, we can’t detect the approach of dangerous creatures in advance, which is fatal. You should remember that most wild beasts and monsters, as long as they can be discovered in advance, are not too big a problem for humans with sufficient firepower. Our most dangerous enemies are more similar and diseases. “

Bai Chen, who was driving, interrupted and said:

“I have encountered distorted mosquito swarms. Each of them has large fingers, and the number cannot be counted. Together they are like A large black cloud flew from the sky, blocking all the sunlight.

“Their bites release a terrifying toxin, which paralyzes human and animal bodies and slows their thinking.

“At that time dozens of homeless people were densely packed by them. Covered with the ground and drained all the blood.

“Whether it’s a pistol, a rifle, a machine gun, or a bazooka, it’s difficult to cause too much damage to them.

“Fortunately, we picked up a few that The flamethrower used, relying on them, finally one third person survived. “

Long Yuehong’s scalp is numb, and he is a little more afraid of the wilderness.

Shang Jianyao’s eyes move slightly, as if he is thinking about what else is suitable for dealing with this kind of monster.

Jiang Baiman nodded gently:

“In this case, the company’s’weed killer’ is a good choice. ”

Four people while speaking, the jeep drove to a small ruin.

Several buildings of no more than three stories collapsed, and the surface was covered with densely packed buildings. Climbing Mountain Tiger, you can hardly see the original wall, as if it was submerged by the green wave.

In front of these buildings, there is a large open space, piled with large or small stones, the ground There were many cracks, and a bunch of plants jumped out of it.

After Bai Chen stopped, he swept around:

“There are no new traces of human activity…

“I will rest here tonight. There is clean water nearby.”

Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong got out of the car one after another and followed Jiang Baiman’s teachings to collect wood and make Bonfire, and use the charging pads that have been exposed to the sun for a day to replenish the high-performance batteries of the jeep-unless you know the wilderness well and know where there are settlements or corresponding ruins that can provide gasoline, or fuel vehicles can only move within their own sphere of influence , Or it comes with enough and full oil drums, and “Pangu Biology” is quite short of oil resources.

As for the tent, they did not prepare, because they could sleep directly in the jeep-two people watch the night, two people rest, and take turns.

Soon, the fire illuminates the gradually dimming environment around, and Jiang Baiman took out a few military cans and started heating them.

Shang Jianyao, who ate an energy bar first, carried a company-standard assault rifle nicknamed “Berserker”, patrolling the surroundings to prevent accidents.

Suddenly, he felt something, and looked up at the collapsed building group swallowed by the climbing Mountain Tiger.

At the uppermost edge of those buildings, a black shadow passed by, and then blocked by obstacles, no trace.

Shang Jianyao is not frightened, and nothing has happened. He said to Jiang Baiman, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong:

“You guys eat quickly.”

“Huh?” Long Yuehong looked puzzled.

Shang Jianyao said calmly:

“It seems that something is coming .”

PS: I will update in the early morning to ask for a recommendation ticket~
