Chapter 91 Small “Test”

Facing Long Yuehong’s defense, Jiang Baiman laughed:
“Know that, isn’t this trying to give you some confidence?

“This shows that you played an important role in this field training.”

Seeing the group leader’s description getting darker, Long Yuehong didn’t bother to emphasize it any more, and only muttered:
“It’s better not to have such a role.”

“What did you say?” Jiang Baiman tilted his head, as if listening intently, “Forget it, let’s get back to the subject and continue to review.”

She immediately looked around:
“We have discussed and summarized every incident encountered in this field training in detail, so I won’t repeat it today.

“What I hope is that you stand at the overall height and evaluate every choice before and after the incident to see if there is anything that needs to be reviewed.”

Bai Chen listened quietly and recalled:

“I don’t think there is any problem. Every decision you make is the best choice under the circumstances. Only if you encounter too many accidents, it will appear dangerous.”

“Yes, yeah, whether it’s the bandit who carried the external skeleton device, the mechanical monk Jing Fa, or the black rat town massacre incident, you will try your best to keep everyone alive and take us out of danger The whirlpool.” Long Yuehong echoed.

Shang Jianyao nodded:
“The main thing is that life is not good.”

“…” If he didn’t know that Shang Jianyao was like this, Long Yuehong would have thought he was targeting himself.

Jiang Baiman glanced at him and said seriously:

“If you don’t like this kind of joke, just tell him directly, saying that he won’t have friends like this.”

“Actually, they are all used to it.” Long Yuehong subconsciously responded.

Jiang Baiman scoffed and teased:
“What else can I say?”

She straightened her hair on her temples, her expression gradually serious:

“Although you are all complimenting me and making me happy, I still have to say that if you do well at first, many things can be avoided.

“Think about it, how long can Jing Fa stay in the ruins of the steel plant? How long can Qiao Chu wait at Broken Bridge?

“As long as we stagger for a few hours, we will most likely not encounter them.

“If we directly shoot at that band of bandits and wipe them out, so that they have no chance to wear an external skeleton device, then our Jeep will not be damaged, and the Jeep will not be damaged. He would not detour to Shuiwei Town. It is very likely that he would arrive at the ruins of the steel factory in the evening of the same day and leave in the morning of the 2nd day. At that time, the mechanical monk Jing Fa probably had not come to look for the destined person.

“Similarly, I will definitely not meet Wu Shoushi afterwards. Once I have the information about the newly discovered city ruins, maybe they have all crossed the river. I can choose other wilderness wanderer settlements to send information, and I won’t be caught Qiaochu’blocked’.”

See Bai Chen and Long Yuehong, they all showed looking thoughtful expressions, Jiang Baiman solemnly asked:

“If you change your decision-making process, and when you meet a similar team, you will choose to deter each other, disengage without conflict, or attack directly to eliminate hidden dangers?”

Shang Jianyao immediately replied:

“Team leader, I think you have any misunderstanding of my lofty ideals.

“Am I like someone who will attack innocent people? It is difficult to judge whether a group of people is guilty or not in a short contact.”

Jiang Baiman was said to be stunned, and then lost said with a smile:
“You look like you!

“Who wanted to shoot at that time on the ground that the other party made his ears?”

“I was aware of their hostility.” Shang Jianyao was replied, “Moreover, I also know that you will not agree.”

“Okay.” Jiang Baiman looked towards Long Yuehong and Bai Chen, “What about you? What decision will you make?”

Long Yuehong “hiss” said:
“I will not directly order an attack.

“What is the difference between that and those bandits?”

Bai Chen thought about it:
“There is a difference between a person and a wild beast.

“Unless I had no food at the time and I was about to die, I had to grab a handful.”

Jiang Baiman looked around again with a serious expression, the corners of his mouth gradually cocked:

“Congratulations, you passed the first psychological test.”

Seeing Long Yuehong was a little stunned, Jiang Baiman explained with a smile:
“I still hope that my team members have basic ethics and principles of life.

“Although you cannot use this to measure behavior in a desperate situation, at least most of the time, I can safely give my back to such a companion.”

Shang Jianyao gave a “um”:
“Real companions can dance the yellow golden sea shore swing hula together.”

Jiang Baiman didn’t bother to respond to this guy and continued to do the replay.

Near the end, she thought for a while and said:

“I haven’t analyzed the problem of the ruins of that city before. I just have time today, so I can discuss it specifically.

“What do you think is the relationship between the Taoist Galoran’s “smell left over from the old age” and the various abnormalities in the ruins of the city?”

During this period of time, Bai Chen occasionally thought about this issue, and was the first to put forward his own guess:
“Could it be that in the laboratory of that city, what kind of taboo research involving the field of Spiritual God was being carried out, which angered Zhuang Sheng, who represented the whole year, so he dropped Divine Punishment?
“Maybe this also opened the prelude to the old world annihilation.

“Because this city is the origin of destruction, even the surrounding villages and small towns have not survived. Therefore, the ruins were completely forgotten until they were discovered recently.”

She connected the widely circulated theory of “Destroying the old world through the age” with this discovery.

“It is possible, I can only say that it is possible.” Jiang Baiman did not directly deny it.

Shang Jianyao then asked:

“Then why did Zhuangsheng Zhuangsui not erase the roaring creatures in the laboratory? Why are there that many ‘higher unintentional’ and distorted creatures in the urban ruins?

“This Divine Punishment is too incomplete, right?”

He paused for a while and said:
“If this is the case, I would feel ashamed for Zhuang Sheng.”

Bai Chen was speechless and difficult to answer.

If she could answer these doubts, she wouldn’t say it was just a guess.

“If Zhisui Zhuangsheng knew that someone like you was thinking about his face, he would definitely feel ashamed.” Jiang Baiman joked, “Personally, I like to be bolder Guess.”

She immediately looked around, burying her body slightly, “pressing” her voice and saying:
“Could it be the taboo research in that laboratory that gave birth to the old men?”
“The humans of the old world tried to create gods, but were destroyed by the Spiritual God they created?”

Such speculation, such a low and reverberating voice, heard Long Yuehong’s forehead twitching slightly, inexplicably fearful, and spontaneously felt a sense of profanity.

Human laboratories make the years old?
And the old men in turn destroyed mankind?
“Then why do the old people leave the roaring creature in the laboratory? Because that is their younger brother?” Shang Jianyao asked again, “Also, why didn’t they destroy the laboratory and hide themselves? The secret of birth? What thought did the Eighth Research Institute behind Qiaochu send someone to find the ruins of the city and blow up the laboratory?”

“What I said was just a guess!” Jiang Baiman glared at Shang Jianyao, “Moreover, we can’t be sure that Qiao Chu’s task is to blow up the laboratory. What if he is just looking for information? You know, There are many reasons for explosions, such as self-destructing devices.”

Speaking of which, Jiang Baiman has eased the “villain” expression:

“One thing that can be preliminarily confirmed at present is that without Qiao Chu, the ruins of the city would still be difficult to discover for a long time.

“Ah, when can I find the Eighth Research Institute, they must have mastered many secrets of the old world!”

After discussing for a while, Jiang Baiman glanced at the watch on his wrist:
“It’s almost there, let me talk about the future arrangements:

“You have two days of vacation, and then everything returns to normal.

“However, the daily training will be halved. The time in the morning must be reserved for studying materials, sorting out clues, and preparing for the official investigation.

“When the spring of next year begins, we will have to set off to the first scheduled survey site or the area where the survey subject is located.

“Before this, I will organize a winter survival training in the wild, but it is near the company, so I won’t go far to avoid trouble.”

Speaking of the word “trouble”, Jiang Baiman has lingering fears.

“Actually, that city ruin is a very suitable investigation point.” Bai Chen nodded and said.

Jiang Baiman said “um”:
“It depends on whether the company has found any valuable clues from there in recent months.

“I have a pessimistic attitude.”

Because the most important laboratory was completely destroyed.

Mentioning this matter, Long Yuehong asked whether he was curious or worried:

“Team leader, after the company intervenes, what will happen to the “high-level unintentional people” in the ruins of the city?”

“What else? Either migrate, or be killed, or become an experiment.” Jiang Baiman said seriously, “On the earth, unnecessary mercy has no value.”

Long Yuehong was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly said:
“But they will definitely bring a lot of casualties to the company… Those are our colleagues, maybe they know…”

Jiang Baiman was silent for a while, not saying with a smile too much:
“This is earth.”

While speaking, she stood up, patched Shang Jianyao’s shoulder:

“That’s why we have to pursue New World.”

“So we need to save all mankind.” Shang Jianyao said very cooperatively.

Jiang Baiman took the opportunity to finish, pointing outside:
“It’s almost dinner. I have a treat today to celebrate the completion of our first mission, Perfection.”

Long Yuehong, Shang Jianyao, and Bai Chen stood up at the same time.

“To tell the truth, I have missed the company canteen for a long time.” Long Yuehong sighed sincerely.

Although he tasted a lot of wild animal meat this time, the meat was either very woody or had a bad taste. In the absence of sufficient seasoning and cooking techniques, he can only say that it can barely be used for filling. Belly, the experience is not so good.

“Me too.” Jiang Baiman responded calmly.

Shang Jianyao raised his hand and wiped the corner of his mouth.
