Embers Ad Infinitum

“Also, there are also the number of’unintentional people’. What are they going to survive by eating?”

Although the “unintentional” group has the instinct to reproduce and will not gradually disappear due to the death of individuals, they are also living creatures and they also need enough food-in the ruins of cities that have lost agricultural and industrial support, they It is impossible to maintain such a large scale just by preying on the same species, rats and insects.

The ecological environment will gradually be balanced.

“Maybe the city’s material reserves are very sufficient… “The unintentional” has the survival instinct and will actively look for these things.” Bai Chen also entered the house and guessed the reason.

As for whether the stored food has expired for so many years, and whether it will deteriorate, the “unintentional” will not consider that many. They almost have no brains.

“Maybe.” Jiang Baiman did not deny it.

After all, she doesn’t know where the ruins of this city belonged in the old world. What if there is a grain storage that was found in other ruins?

Moreover, it is entirely possible for “unintentional ones” to multiply from generation to generation to evolve the ability to eat rice and flour.

Listening to the discussion between the two ladies, Long Yuehong couldn’t help but opened the mouth and said:

“There are so many “unintentional people” here, and the situation is weird. Let’s retreat, right?
“If you just move something on the way out, it’s a good harvest!”

When he spoke, his eyes were looking at Qiao Chu.

Qiao Chu ignored him, but urged Shang Jianyao:
“Hurry up.”

He seems to have accepted what Jiang Baiman said just now, and feels it is necessary to investigate what happened to Wu Shoushi. Otherwise, it will also be more dangerous for him.

After speaking, Qiao Chu seriously patted the dust on his body.

Shang Jianyao took a flashlight and checked it again. No obvious damage was found on Wu Shoushi, but the other’s face was distorted, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying or encountered something extremely terrifying.

This is very similar to the strange people who died north of Yuelu Station described by the bald hunter Harris .Brown.

Combining Qiao Chu’s statement, Shang Jianyao can make a preliminary judgment that this was because of being attacked by a nightmare horse and died.

As for where the monster is and how far it is from here, he has no way of knowing.

He immediately stripped Wu Shoushi’s clothes, looking for inconspicuous traces.

“There is a ring of skin on the wrist that is whiter than the surrounding part, indicating that a watch was worn before, but it may have fallen somewhere… There is no recent injection needle hole… Unfortunately, there is no blood test here, and it is difficult to determine whether there is inhalation Anesthetic gas…” Jiang Baiman moved closer and helped Shang Jianyao to complete the examination quickly.

Next, she straightened up and looked towards Qiao Chu, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong with a slightly solemn expression:
“High probability is forced to fall asleep by the ability similar to a nightmare horse.

“It is not certain whether this was done by the nightmare horse or another monster.”

“Not a nightmare horse.” Qiao Chu said very positively.

Jiang Baiman nodded:
“Well…Do you know what the roar sound of a nightmare horse is like?”

Qiao initially opened his mouth, as if he wanted to simulate, but felt too ashamed to finally give up this plan.

At this time, Shang Jianyao also stood up straight.

Holding a flashlight, he asked seriously:
“Is that the case?”

Tone barely fell, he learned the loudest and most terrifying roar sound just now, without any embarrassment.

Of course, this time, he has control over the volume.

“No.” Qiao Chu shook his head in denial without the slightest hesitation.

Jiang Baiman frowned slightly:

“It seems that the scariest monster in the ruins of this city is not a nightmare horse.”

This is what she wanted to make sure of the question just now—Is the nightmare horse making a loud roar that drew a burst of responses.

“Is that the case?” Shang Jianyao continuously imitated the various roars he heard before.

“Neither.” Qiao Chu, wearing a helmet, couldn’t help asking, “Can’t you just learn how to call a horse? The roar of a nightmare horse is essentially the same as a normal horse, with a slight difference.”

Shang Jianyao took a look at Qiao Chu:
“I haven’t seen a horse.”

After finishing speaking, he turned around, bent his back, and checked Wu Shoushi’s clothing pocket.

The first thing he uncovered was a brass-colored badge. On the front of the badge, there were embossed facial features and a saber, a gun, and a small chip inlaid on the back.

Shang Jianyao has seen something similar before, knowing it is the badge of the “Hunter Guild”, and handing it over to Jiang Baiman.

Jiang Baiman didn’t read the content in the chip, so he put it away.

—— Wu Shoushi’s previous missions have almost nothing to do with the encounters in this exploration.

The second item that Shang Jianyao found was a blue and white handkerchief.

This handkerchief looks very old, with a little pilling on the surface, but it is folded neat and tidy.

Shang Jianyao shook the handkerchief and found no clues, then folded it back as it was, and stuffed it into Wu Shoushi’s breast pocket.

The third item he found was half a piece of black chocolate wrapped in tin foil.

This chocolate has obvious signs of melting and recondensing, but there is no place where it has been bitten.

While Shang Jianyao was looking at this piece of chocolate over and over, Bai Chen suddenly opened the mouth and said:

“It should be that I usually want to eat, just lick it, or put it in my mouth.”

She said very plainly, and she seems to have been accustomed to similar things.

When Shang Jianyao heard slightly nodded, he replied:
“Do you want it?”

“In the ruins of this city, no need.” Bai Chen shook his head.

There must be a lot of materials that can be found here.

Shang Jianyao did not ask anyone again, and continued to search Wu Shoushi’s clothing.

The fourth item he found was a piece of paper that was also neat and tidy folded.

The text on the paper is quite neat:
“I owe Ruxiang a can of beef;
“We owe Ah Gang twice, which is equivalent to a large bag of compressed biscuits;

“Half a bowl of oil short of cripple;

“One pistol and ten bullets owed to Oakland;

“I owe Xiaoguang a meal;

“I owe Ruxiang a flower…”

Shang Jianyao quickly finished reading, folded this piece of paper again, and put it in his pocket.

“You won’t, do you want to pay him back?” Jiang Baiman looked a little surprised.

However, what Shang Jianyao did, she will not be too strange.

Shang Jianyao replied with no expression:
“If you meet his companions, give them this piece of paper and the hunter badge.”

Jiang Baiman is very small and nodded at a slow speed, so I didn’t say more.

The fifth “item” found by Shang Jianyao was the twelve coins in the pocket of Wu Shoushi’s pants.

Judging from their patterns and shapes, they should belong to the old world.

“Can the coins of the old world still be used?” Long Yuehong glanced at it and asked in surprise.

“Yes, but don’t look at the face value, just what metal it is and how heavy it is.” Bai Chen explained briefly.

Among the twelve coins, seven are silver white and five are golden. Shang Jianyao looked at them for a while and put them in the small compartment of the camouflage backpack.

Next, after removing his clothes, pants and shoes, he only found Wu Shoushi’s black pistol.

“Wubei 7, there are five bullets.” Shang Jianyao made a brief identification and hung the gun on the armed belt.

This bullet is 7.62mm, which is different from the one they prepared when they set off.

As for the automatic rifle that Wu Shoushi carried when he first met them, I don’t know where it went.

After the search, Shang Jianyao put the clothes back on Wu Shoushi.

“Let’s go.” Qiao Chu didn’t have any clues, so he urged not patiently.

Jiang Baiman and others did not object, and followed him out of the house on the street.

Shang Jianyao walked at the end, looked up, suddenly jumped up, and pulled down the metal door.

In the voice of oh la la, this house is closed.

“What’s the use of this? “The unintentional” will open the door, and then this will be their food.” Qiao Chu couldn’t help saying, and then said solemnly, “Keep up!”

Shang Jianyao didn’t have any other behavior. He followed the team and continued to hold his gun. In the deep night, he trot to the ruins of the city.
