Embers Ad Infinitum

Long Yuehong was startled, thinking that Shang Jianyao was going to "make trouble" again, so she quickly said:

"He probably has no intention of making a bet with you."

When the team leader arranges to perform tasks with Shang Jianyao, he always thinks about keeping an eye on this guy and not letting him cause trouble.

Of course, Long Yuehong also knew that she couldn't stop what Shang Jianyao really wanted to do.

At this time, Teresa's bodyguards had loaded the weapons into the car. She also finished her prayers and walked out of the church with the warning person Song He.

"You can go to the Hunter Guild." Theresa nodded gently to Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong.

Although the hunter team on the opposite side has not yet found out who was the real culprit who killed Herwig, they were able to find the lost batch of arms, and Theresa was very satisfied.

During the recent period, she took out a lot of supplies and distributed them to Herwig's subordinates, or gave them as gifts to the smuggler Lehman, hoping to maintain her arms trade.

Her family had a lot of savings, but they kept going out and not coming in, which still made her a little anxious. This batch of arms came back at the right time.

Shang Jianyao nodded slightly, and in front of Theresa, asked the warning person Song He in Gray dialect:

"How can I visit DiMarco directly, sir?"

Perhaps he felt it was impolite to call him by his first name, so he added the word "sir".

Song He smiled and shook his head:

“It’s impossible, even I can’t visit Mr. Di Marco directly.

"Only bishops officially appointed by the Bishops of Fear can communicate with Mr. Di Marco via video call."

After listening to this, Shang Jianyao seemed to have solved a major problem. He clenched his right fist and punched his left palm and said:

"He's really still alive."

What are these words? Long Yuehong was stunned for a while.

He immediately started trying to decipher Shang Jianyao's thoughts:

Because Di Marco never went out or saw anyone, even if he was dead, no one knew. In order to maintain their status and power, the three housekeepers pretended that Di Marco was still alive.

This "reasoning" obviously cannot be established in light of the fact that the bishop of the vigilance sect can have a video conversation with Di Marco.

Thinking of this, Long Yuehong asked out of curiosity and to change the subject:

"Will Mr. DiMarco attend your Mass at the same time?"

"No." Song He shook his head, "He will send a steward to participate on his behalf every time. Haha, when he converted to our Lord, he did not leave the 'Underground Ark' nor let the bishop enter."

This is too vigilant... Just as Long Yuehong cursed in her heart, she heard Shang Jianyao's clapping sound.

Long Yuehong was not surprised at all.

After expressing his appreciation, Shang Jianyao asked again:

"Where can I get a boat in Hongshiji?"

"Ankhbas has a speedboat, the town guard also has one, and the others are just some simple wooden boats." Song He thought about it.

He could probably guess what Shang Jianyao and the others wanted to do, so he couldn't persuade them directly. He just reminded:

"The fishmen have absolute dominance in the lake."

After a pause for two seconds, Song He said again:

"I have reported the matter of the temple in the lake to the Bishops of Fear. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait and see if they are interested and whether they will send someone to explore it."

He is so kind, and even specially provides us with solutions... If you use the ability to be friendly for a long time, will you become friendly unknowingly? While Long Yuehong was feeling emotional, she began to make endless guesses.

Shang Jianyao was silent for a while and said:

"Thanks."

After bidding farewell to Song He and getting on the jeep, Long Yuehong said with a smile:

"You actually gave him the highest treatment."

He remembered that Shang Jianyao said, "Thank you goes further than applause."

"He is very sincere." Shang Jianyao was quite calm.

Long Yuehong said "hmm":

"Then should we wait a little longer for the Vigilance Sect to make a decision?"

While driving, Shang Jianyao turned his head and said with the monkey mask on his head:

"Doesn't he mean to go as soon as possible, fearing that once the Bishops send someone over, we won't have any share?"

"..." Long Yuehong responded not confidently, "You are thinking too much."

"This is the result of reasoning using Jiang Baimian's thinking simulation method." Shang Jianyao is very confident.

He immediately imitated Jiang Baimian's tone:

"The only thing we need to worry about is the existence of fishmen."

Long Yuehong couldn't refute Shang Jianyao, so she had to change the topic:

"You really want to go? A sleeping 'god' must be very dangerous, even if it is just a so-called 'god'."

"Look." As soon as Shang Jianyao spoke, he saw Long Yuehong shrinking towards the car door.

He laughed and said:

"Isn't there nothing wrong with the fish-man awakener?"

"You call that okay? Didn't the team leader say that after he passed out, it was like he was giving birth to a monster in his body?" Long Yuehong argued.

"Don't you think this is interesting?" Shang Jianyao looked eager to try.

This successfully blocked Long Yuehong's subsequent words.

The vehicle continued to move forward in the ruins of the city, but Shang Jianyao became silent and said no more.

Long Yuehong gradually felt that the atmosphere was not good, so she asked again:

"what's on your mind?"

"How do you want to visit Di Marco?" Shang Jianyao answered truthfully.

Long Yuehong hissed:

"It's difficult."

He used his brain to help make suggestions:

"You can try to 'make friends' with the butler sent outside by Di Marco, sneak into the 'underground ark' through him, and find a chance to meet Di Marco.

"Well, the 'Underground Ark' will be replenished with supplies regularly. You can consider hiding in a box and going in. Under the care of a housekeeper, you will definitely not be discovered."

Shang Jianyao listened quietly and commented:

"Not creative."

"Then think of something creative!" Long Yuehong felt a small burst of anger in her heart.

Shang Jianyao fell into deep thought again.

At this moment, a red car with a sunroof drove up from the front.

The car wasn't new, but it was well taken care of. Sitting in the driver's seat was Playboy Weller, the Sheriff's medical examiner.

"His car is just like his people." Long Yuehong commented.

After waving to Weller and watching him drive to the north of the city ruins, Shang Jianyao smiled and retorted to Long Yuehong:

"His car is so clean, and his face is covered with facial hair."

How can this be considered the same?

Long Yuehong held it in for a long time and finally came up with an explanation:

"He may think beards represent masculinity."

While chatting and laughing, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong drove into Hongshiji and "escorted" Mrs. Teresa to the Hunters Guild to complete the formalities.

At this point, each of them has received 100 credit points.

After this time, Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong, and Jiang Baimian are still far away from the "intermediate hunter". At least that one still needs more than 700 points, while Bai Chen is only 140 credit points away from the "senior hunter".

…………

As a human being who has been genetically optimized since her mother's womb and subsequently underwent genetic modification, Jiang Baimian's illness came and went quickly. By the next day, she was alive and well again.

She stretched her left arm and looked at Shang Jianyao with a smile:

"How's it going? Do you think the disease is less scary?"

Seeing Shang Jian Yao's silence, she continued:

"Many diseases, as long as our body is strong enough, we can heal on our own. Look, am I fine now?

“For some diseases, we can rely on drugs, surgery, etc. to treat them and eventually get better.

"Although we cannot deal with a small number of diseases now, as long as human civilization has not been destroyed and medical technology continues to develop, it is likely that they will be able to be solved in the not-too-distant future."

Shang Jianyao pondered for a while and suddenly showed an expression of enlightenment:

"I see!"

"What did you understand?" Jiang Baimian asked warily.

Shang Jianyao sat back on his bed and said with a serious expression:

"I'll give it a try first."

He then lay down and raised his hands to pinch his temples.

…………

In the "Sea of ​​Origins", Shang Jianyao transformed into a "Pangu creature" according to the previous method, splitting countless Shang Jianyao into a regular hospital.

But this time, he prepared several extra Shang Miyao metal cabins that looked very sci-fi.

Then, he skillfully relied on the Shang Jianyao group organized in various ways to fight against those figures who were covered in white sheets and whose faces were not revealed.

After the busy and repetitive process of hospital delivery, treatment, isolation, disinfection, and injection, doctors and nurses Shang Jianyao once again achieved victory, but they also became extremely tired and gradually transformed into "diseases" from within. ".

Different from the past, they were no longer helpless and rushed towards Shang Jianyao's metal cabins not far away.

Cryonic chamber!

This is a sci-fi object from a radio story that allows a terminally ill person to enter a state of ultra-low temperature freezing until his disease can be cured in the future.

At the last moment, Dr. Shang Jianyao and the nurses looked at each other and shouted:

"Survive!"

After inflating themselves, they entered the freezing chamber one after another, covered with white sheets, and closed the door.

Their eyes immediately turned pitch black, and the unbearable low temperature spread.

The businessmen kept their eyes open, unwilling to fall asleep, and they seemed not so confident about the future.

In his more than 20 years of life, the acquaintances who had contracted and recovered from the disease appeared one by one on his left side, as if using their success to give him confidence, while those who died of illness appeared on his right side one by one. It was gray and very bleak.

After a brief hesitation, Shang Jianyao closed their eyes and chose to believe in their companions and the future.

In the darkness without any light, they seemed to have lost even the last of their consciousness, and their whole bodies were so cold that they lost all consciousness.

This also has advantages. The advantage is that even the thought of giving up cannot arise.

After an unknown amount of time, one of them, Shang Jianyao, suddenly felt that the darkness in front of him was dyed red.

He opened his eyes and found that the cryochamber had been opened and he was still alive.

He suddenly turned over and sat up, looked around, and found that all Shang Jianyao's cryogenic chambers had been destroyed, but there were still four Shang Jianyao doctors and four Shang Jianyao nurses alive.

None of them wore white sheets anymore.

In the end, these Shang Jianyao jumped up at the same time, held each other's hands, and celebrated their victory.

…………

Shang Jianyao opened his eyes and saw Jiang Baimian with an expectant look on his face.

He instantly showed a sunny smile:

"Successful."

"How did it succeed?" Jiang Baimian was happy and curious.

Although she knew that Shang Jianyao's method must be very polluting to the spirit, she still couldn't help but ask.

Shang Jianyao immediately shared his successful experience.

Jiang Baimian frowned repeatedly after hearing this, and finally said thoughtfully:

“When you decide to believe in the future and accept freezing, you have actually succeeded.

“The key to overcoming the fear of ‘disease’ is confidence.”

After speaking, she asked with great interest:

"What changes have occurred in abilities?"

Shang Jianyao lowered his head and looked at his hands:

"The most obvious one is that I can make nine people lose motion in their hands at the same time."

"Why nine?" Jiang Baimian was curious.

Shang Jianyao explained seriously:

"Only nine of me survived in the end."

"..." Jiang Baimian's mouth twitched.
