Embers Ad Infinitum

After that group of people disbanded, the "Old Tune Team" also returned to the room.

Gennava took off the sunglasses on his nose and glanced left and right:

"You don't seem to be in a good mood?

"Did the slave merchant's lecture just now remind you of any bad memories?

"I remember that slaves and servants are very common in the dust, so it shouldn't be a shock to you."

He asked very directly and did not use a tactful way. In other words, he did not understand what tactfulness was at all.

And the last person his eyes fell on was Bai Chen.

He remembered the slave merchant's lecture. When the dozens of scheduled servants showed expressions of hope, the lady whose pseudonym was Qian Bai quietly shook her hands.

Before Bai Chen spoke, Long Yuehong answered on her behalf:

"Because the person they're going to serve isn't very good."

He paused and explained in detail:

"DiMarco is a brutal man..."

Long Yuehong briefly described the information about Dimarco that he had previously obtained from the Red Stone Collection, and finally said:

"It makes me a little uncomfortable to see them think their destiny has changed for the better, but it's not the case."

"Yes." Jiang Baimian nodded and agreed with Long Yuehong's statement.

Gennava thought for two seconds and asked:

"Then why don't you try to save them?"

If he doesn’t understand, just ask.

The room suddenly became extremely quiet. Except for Shang Jianyao, who was thinking about something, no one else seemed to have expected that Gnawa would ask such a question so directly.

This is a somewhat embarrassing question.

It was like a sharp arrow, piercing the whitewashed nonchalance.

After more than ten seconds, Bai Chen said:

“There are too many people in need of saving on the earth, and it is impossible for us to provide help just once when we see them. This is beyond our capabilities and the materials we have.

"We must ensure our own survival first, and then we will consider other things."

She paused for two seconds and added:

"I've always felt that being on the dirt without hurting innocent people is considered a noble character."

Don't expect help from outsiders.

Xiaobai, you rarely talk so much... Jiang Baimian listened quietly and was not in a hurry to speak.

Long Yuehong echoed:

"Yes, on the one hand, the 'Underground Ark' is quite powerful. Just a few of us will definitely not be able to defeat them. Whether we can even get in is still a question mark. On the other hand, there are so many of them. How can we save them?" How to resettle the land in the future is also a very real problem. Farming still has to wait a month or two, and the harvest is even further away, and our food is very limited. By then, they don’t know how many people will starve to death or freeze to death. Maybe it’s not as good as entering the ‘Underground Ark’.”

Not bad, he has been able to explain things clearly and logically... Jiang Baimian then concluded in the language he had organized long ago:

"Besides, our main task is to investigate the reasons for the destruction of the old world. We have to take care of this and that. It will only slow down our actions and add unnecessary burdens.

"If the difficulty is not high and the risk is not high, then it is easy to do it. But in this case, we cannot bet on the lives of the team members regardless of priority.

"Everyone's abilities have their limits. It's impossible to take care of everything. Doing your own thing well is the most important thing."

Gennava thought carefully for a while and nodded to express his understanding:

“So that’s it.

"I thought 'saving all mankind' was one of your goals."

It's heartbreaking... Jiang Baimian's expression was slightly dull, and a word he had just learned not long ago flashed through his mind.

She forced a smile and said:

"Investigating the reasons for the destruction of the old world and figuring out the origin of the 'innocent disease' is itself an effort to 'save all mankind'."

Gennava thought for a moment and then asked:

"If the main mission is also full of risks, would you risk the lives of your team members?"

"..." Jiang Baimian had a headache from being asked.

She considered it and said:

“I analyze the situation, weigh the risks, and then make a decision.

"If it can be done with a little risk, then I will try it. Anyway, I will definitely be the one who takes the lead. If the risk is extremely high, then I will consider changing the method and find other clues. In short, I will not make unnecessary sacrifices and keep Qingshan. Are you afraid of running out of firewood?"

Gennava moved his metal neck and asked again in doubt:

"Then why isn't this the case when it comes to dealing with the 'underground ark' and rescuing those servants?

"Why not first consider whether there is a good way or other ways to solve it, and then just give up?"

You robot is so honest... I need to teach you what to ask and what to understand in the future... Jiang Baimian was a little crazy, just like when he was facing another Shang Jian Yao.

Bang bang bang, Shang Jianyao, who had been deep in thought, clapped his hands.

He looked at Gennava, smiled and praised:

"I'm very relieved."

This nonsense words made Gnawa a little confused. After analyzing it carefully, he said:

"Do you think my question is a good one?"

"Yeah." Shang Jianyao nodded solemnly.

At this moment, Jiang Baimian felt as if he was about to face N Shang Jianyao.

She began to regret her behavior of coveting the ability of intelligent robots to resist and fight.

Huh... Jiang Baimian slowly exhaled and said:

"The reason is that I have already considered and analyzed it in my mind."

To show that this was not "tactical deception," she elaborated:

"The 'Ark' is located underground, and there are strict controls on entry and exit. It is not possible to break in just because you want, and you may encounter a situation where the road is blocked at any time and you are trapped in place...

"There are a lot of guards inside, and the weapons are also very sophisticated...

"'DiMarco' has at least two new military exoskeleton devices, and there are only a few more old models...

"There are also awakened people working for him, more than one...

"In addition, the 'Ark' has sufficient internal supplies and weapons, so it will not be a problem to be besieged for a year and a half...

"Besides..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Baimian pondered for several seconds before saying:

"DiMarco is not a simple person. On the one hand, he is very cruel, but on the other hand, he shows all kinds of strange things.

"For example, he is very concerned about Yan Hu's affairs on Huxin Island. This is not what an ordinary person should do. For example, he dares to see us alone in the room.

"So, I suspect that he himself also has strong strength."

After the analysis, Jiang Baimian concluded:

"Based on the above situation, I don't think we can save the servants in the Ark, even if they all sacrifice, it is unlikely.

"Well, it's easy to save those just now. The focus is on the arrangements afterwards. We don't have that many supplies."

Gnawa agreed with Jiang Baimian's analysis and asked instead:

"Have you ever considered how to raise food?"

"Isn't this delay helpful?" Jiang Baimian replied helplessly.

At this time, she saw from the corner of her eye that Shang Jianyao seemed a little eager to try, so she weakly said:

"what do you want to say?"

After dealing with a fake Shang Jian Yao, now we have to face the real Shang Jian Yao.

Shang Jianyao stood up, looked around, and said with a smile:

"I'll just tell you a few facts."

A few... Long Yuehong suddenly felt a little nervous.

Shang Jianyao didn't seem to notice anything strange about him, and said to himself:

"First, there must be a lot of supplies stored in the 'Underground Ark', which can feed many people for a long time.

"Second, Dimarco occupies the largest share of the Hongshiji smuggling market, no matter which business it is, so there must be many high-performance batteries in the 'underground ark'.

"Third, as long as you control the channels well and have enough force, whoever does these businesses can make good profits."

Jiang Baimian did not object blindly. He thought carefully and said:

"You mean, as long as you kill Di Marco and occupy the 'Underground Ark', you can solve our needs, save those servants, and how to feed and house them at the same time. All at once?"

Bang bang bang, Shang Jianyao clapped his hands:

"And with such a force that is supported by us and will be affected by us, we can use it to change the situation of Hongshiji little by little and promote the peaceful coexistence of the gray soil people, red river people, fish people, and mountain monsters here."

When Jiang Baimian heard this, he felt that it was indeed the case, and was also a little dumbfounded:

"Are you going around in a big circle, or are you trying to achieve this goal?"

So persistent!

Shang Jianyao did not answer, but seriously raised the thorn in his previous sentence:

"We can't talk about killing Di Marco and occupying the 'underground ark'. This will make us look like bandits."

"Then what should I say?" Jiang Baimian asked angrily and funny.

Shang Jianyao's expression became solemn:

"Do justice for heaven!"

"..." At this moment, Jiang Baimian only had one word in his heart.

regret.

Now I regret it.

Why did you agree to let this guy watch the Old World series in the first place?

Long Yuehong's expression was similar.

He feels that the current Shang Jianyao is simply "even more powerful than a tiger."

Bai Chen said nothing, neither expressing agreement nor objecting.

Jiang Baimian calmed down, looked at Shang Jianyao, and responded with a serious attitude:

"If you can come up with a feasible plan, then I can consider it.

"If it doesn't work, just pretend it didn't happen."
