Embers Ad Infinitum

　　 faintly echoed in the sound of reading aloud in Shuiwei Town, Long Yuehong opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say. She felt that the feeling was extremely complicated, and it was difficult to describe it in words.

　　 None of the four spoke, and seemed to listen intently until the jeep drove out of the gate and ran into the distance.

　　 "What did they read aloud? I didn't hear it very clearly." Jiang Baimian looked in the rearview mirror, his tone a little annoyed.

　　 "The moonlight in front of the bed." Shang Jianyao repeated the beginning of "Quiet Night Thoughts".

　　 "That's it..." Jiang Baimian sighed for a while, but didn't say more words.

　　 She drove the car seriously, letting the Jeep drive quietly on the difficult roads crisscrossing the swamp.

　　Wait until he was completely out of this area, Bai Chen looked ahead and said to himself:

　　 "Part of the reason I want to be a full member of the company is that I can borrow a lot of books that way."

　　 "It's okay..." Long Yuehong, who has lived in "Pangu Creatures" since childhood, doesn't think this is special. "In the ruins of the old world, there are no books or libraries?"

　　 Bai Chen's eyes seemed to cast far away:

　　 "Yes, in the beginning, there were many, but at that time, I was not born yet.

"Later, many books were removed by big forces and by certain people, and the remaining part was regarded as easy to ignite by relic hunters and wilderness wanderers. It was bitten and torn by rats and other animals, making it look bad, only Very few can be found and able to read.

　　 "In the ruins of cities that are not explored frequently, there may be a large number of books, but those places are too dangerous."

　　 After a brief silence, Shang Jianyao jumped in thought and asked:

　　 "Are you literate?"

　　 "Well, my father and mother taught me. After they died, they left me with a very good teacher." Bai Chen's expression gradually softened, and the corners of his mouth were slightly invisible.

　　 But her eyes diverged, as if she woke up from a dream in the middle of the night, sitting on her knees, looking out the window without focus.

　　 Jiang Baimian glanced sideways at Bai Chen and continued to look forward.

　　 She smiled and said:

　　 "Can you communicate louder?

　　 "Is this bullying me because of my poor hearing? I doubt if you are cheating on me and saying bad things about me."

　　 Long Yue's red heart moved, and he whispered:

　　 "We all said it in front of you."

　　 "We all said it in front of you." At the same time, Shang Jianyao responded to Jiang Baimian's "accusation."

　　Long Yuehong was a little happy immediately:

　　 "Haha, how is it? Do I know you well? I can keep up with your thinking!"

　　 "How do you know that I didn't intentionally let you keep up?" Shang Jian Yao did not back down.

"Yes, you must pay attention to the team atmosphere when you go out to practice. It must be serious and lively. Otherwise, the spirit is easy to be over-tensioned, and it will not take long to crush yourself." Jiang Baimian commented casually, "Okay, Let’s not talk about this, let’s discuss Mayor Tian’s experience and see what useful things can be summed up from the details of his description, er, mainly about the destruction of the old world."

　　 Shang Jian Yao seemed to have thought about it, and immediately said:

　　 "The'unintentional ones' mainly appear in larger cities, and there are few villages and small towns."

　　 "The destruction of villages and small towns looks more like war and geological disasters together." Bai Chen added.

　　 Jiang Baimian nodded slightly:

　　 "War and geological disaster may be equated.

　　 "Before the destruction of the old world, geological weapons may have appeared. Of course, this needs to be confirmed. It needs to be confirmed by exploring some urban ruins to find corresponding information."

　　 Hearing this, Long Yuehong thought and said:

　　"What is the relationship between the emergence of the'unintentional' and war?

　　 "Did their appearance lead to the war, or did the war induce their appearance?"

　　 "There is no answer, there is not enough information and information." Jiang Baimian smiled and said, "This will be the main direction of our work after the old tune group."

　　 She looked down the road, pulled the steering wheel, continued to ask questions, and guided the team members to think:

　　 "Why do you think the'unintentional' appeared mainly in big cities in the first place, and there are few in villages and small towns?"

　　 "The urban population is denser? Is this an important transmission condition?" Shang Jianyao replied with the definition of city in the textbook.

　　 Bai Chen said from another angle:

　　 "City is more important, so is it the main goal?"

　　 "It is possible." Jiang Baimian did not deny it.

　　 The four people discussed the corresponding issues for a while. Although they were unable to reach a conclusion, they all broadened their thinking and had a clearer idea of ​​the investigations and information collected in the future.

　　 While the Jeep was driving neither too fast nor too slow, Jiang Baimian raised another question:

　　 "What do you think of the guy the hunters of the ruins are looking for?

　　 "It's the black-haired and golden-eyed one that the residents of Shuiwei Town have encountered."

　　Long Yuehong hissed:

　　"I feel that he is very strange, not only the origin is mysterious, but he is also very strange.

　　 "Normally, no one can get the love of a group of people at the same time when they first see it, but there are men and women!"

"Actually, I'm a bit curious about what he looks like and how attractive he is." Jiang Baimian replied with a smile, "However, that's right, it's really strange. For people who can create strange phenomena , My first reaction was to classify it into the ranks of the awakened."

　　 "Why?" Shang Jian Yao asked blurtedly.

　　 Bai Chen didn't show any doubts about the term awakened person, and he obviously knew that such a person existed.

　　 Jiang Baimian lowered the speed of the car by slightly lowering the accelerator:

　　 "In addition to having weird and terrifying abilities, the awakened may also exhibit strange and different places from normal people. Well, this kind of performance is the same as their abilities, and the probability of being the same with each other is not too high."

"Such an awakened person who appears in the black marsh wilderness is definitely not just for survival." Bai Chen looked out the window and looked into the depths of the marsh. "He may be looking for something... there may be no small secrets hidden in the depths of the marsh. ."

　　 Jiang Baimian nodded:

"Indeed. Forget it, let’s not say, our route will not pass north of Yuelu Station. Besides, taking two novices to participate in this obviously unusual thing is too dangerous, we can only find the opportunity to report it to the company.

　　 "Long Yuehong, Bai Chen, you can have a rest.

　　 "Ah, ha, Bai Chen, don't sleep in a hurry, tell me how to go next..."

　　 "..." Bai Chen glanced at Jiang Baimian, a little doubt that this was still the unusually reliable team leader before.

　　 In this way, the jeep drove through the black marsh wilderness, and at about noon, it stopped at a weedy concrete intersection.

　　 "This is the first point of this field training." Jiang Baimian opened the door and went out, pointing to the left side of the jeep.

　　 Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong got out of the car, followed the group leader's fingers, and looked over.

　　 There is a sloping fork road there, the concrete floor is cracked by clumps of weeds and plants, and there is almost no good place.

The left side of the road was originally suspected to be a field, but most of it has been swallowed up by the swamp, and many different varieties of plants grow in the rest of the road; on the right are three buildings surrounded by open squares, of which one has collapsed and the rest is The others are covered by creepers and other plants.

At the end of the 　　 road, there is a large square. On both sides of the square are more four-story, five-story, and six-story buildings, but there is also a very large and tall bungalow.

　　 Part of them collapsed, the rest is mixed with green, it is difficult to distinguish each other.

　　 At the end of the square, there are black iron gates that can pass four jeeps in parallel. The gates are completely open, revealing rows of houses that do not resemble residences.

　　 Behind these houses, in places that Shang Jianyao and others could not see, a few brick-red or gray-black "chimneys" rose from the ground and rose into the air, quite spectacular.

　　 Their outer walls are inlaid with iron-black, very simple stairs. The higher the height, the sparser the green plants in the crevices.

　　 After waiting for Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong to observe for a while, Jiang Baimian explained:

　　 "In the future, our team will inevitably enter the old world city ruins, especially those that are rarely visited or have not been discovered. This will be quite dangerous.

　　 "So, you have to adapt to this kind of place in advance and accumulate some experience."

　　 "But this is not like a city." Long Yuehong couldn't help but said.

　　 Jiang Baimian laughed:

　　"It must start with the lowest difficulty.

　　"This used to be a steel factory with a complete social structure inside, which is equivalent to a miniature city. Look, the buildings on the roadside are hospitals and radio stations. UU看书www.uukanshu.com

　　 "Well, this place has been visited by relic hunters many times, and the valuable things are basically gone.

　　"There are two main tasks for you today:

　　"One is to get some food here, whether it is to find something that no one else has found, or to target the beasts that haunt here.

　　"The second is to draw a complete map and mark all the key points.

　　 "How about it, simple?"

　　 Shang Jian Yao and Long Yuehong did not answer, because based on their experience, it was impossible to judge whether this was simple or difficult.

　　 Jiang Baimian glanced at the steel plant again:

　　 "There are often relic hunters here. If you encounter them, you must learn how to deal with them, how to get along, how to exchange information and materials."

　　 "Group leader, didn't you say that the valuable things here are basically gone? What are the relic hunters doing?" Long Yuehong asked a little surprised.

　　 Jiang Baimian laughed and said:

　　 "Isn't there a saying? There are still three catties of nails in a bad boat, let alone such a big steel plant?

　　 "If there is no gain in other places, come here to look for it, maybe you can move back to something useful.

　　 "A relic hunter dug up the ground before, and got down a section of the main water pipe, then pulled it back to get some food."

　　 Seeing Long Yuehong and Shang Jianyao nodded lightly, indicating that there is no doubt, Jiang Baimian turned his side and said:

　　 "Let's start then.

　　 "Bai Chen and I are here looking at the car. If you have trouble that can't be solved, you can send a signal for help. If you need guidance, go back within two kilometers and use the walkie-talkie."
