Embers Ad Infinitum

　　 The desolate roar was still reverberating, and similar voices sounded in different places in the ruins of the city.

　　 They are not that huge, but one after another, they are equally tingling.

　　 And the most terrifying thing is that there are countless multiple roars from a hundred meters away from Shang Jian Yao and others.

　　 At this time, the high-altitude clouds seemed to be scattered a lot by such movement, and the yellowish moon briefly revealed half of its face.

　　The bright and clean glow scattered, shone on the buildings dozens of hundreds of meters high at the end of the street.

　　 In the dark night, the windows on that side were shining with moonlight, revealing countless figures.

　　 Their appearance is not clear at all. The only thing that can be sure is that they all seem to be looking at Shang Jianyao, Jiang Baimian and others, and their bodies are slightly crooked.

Shang Jian Yao and the others reacted almost subconsciously. They each took different actions and found obstacles nearby to cover them. Even Long Yuehong, after experiencing similar things several times, did not slow down much. The effect of training.

　　 The clouds moved quickly, and the moon was blocked most of them. The buildings at the end of the street were once again submerged in the deep darkness, and only the outline could be seen.

　　 After a while, seeing no attack occurred, Qiao Chu, wearing an exoskeleton device, took the lead to leave the hiding place.

However, he did not go back to the middle of the road, and went straight to the left side of the street paved with dark red stone bricks. There are trees with leaves far from falling to block the view from the heights, which can prevent the shooting that may come at the end of the street from being aimed .

　　 Similarly, Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen also approached Qiao Chu one after another.

　　 Shang Jian Yao raised his head and glanced at the sky, seeing that the moonlight and starlight were getting weaker, he slammed out of the hiding place, did two consecutive rolls, and came to Wu Shoushi's side.

　　 Then, he dragged the corpse, bent his back, and quickly entered an open room on the left side of the street.

　　 The signboard of this house was hanging diagonally, and it was half broken, and only four gray texts of "Snack Group" could be seen.

　　 Inside the house, rectangular tables lined up in two rows, dusty and dusty.

　　Shang saw that Yao didn't care about whether it was dirty or not, so he placed Wu Shoushi on one of the tables, and according to the first aid knowledge taught by Jiang Baimian, he untied the other's shirt and started to press.

　　 "It seems useless..." Jiang Baimian followed in at some point and watched Shang Jian Yao finish the process.

　　 did not give Shang Jian Yao a chance to speak, she habitually ordered:

　　 "Check his body for any clues."

　　 Qiao Chu, wearing an exoskeleton device, walked to the open door, pressed his lips tightly, and watched for two seconds:

　　 "No, go to the destination as soon as possible."

　　 Jiang Baimian looked back at Qiao Chu, and said sincerely:

　　"If we can figure out what happened to this relic hunter and find out the real reason why he slept on the street, we should be able to avoid a lot of danger in follow-up actions.

　　 "It's really weird here, the monsters are terrifying beyond my imagination.

　　 "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 rely solely on predation The same kind, mice and bugs simply cannot maintain such a large scale.

　　 The ecological environment will gradually balance.

　　 "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, whether it will deteriorate, the "unintentional" will not think so much, they almost have no brains.

　　 "Maybe." Jiang Baimian did not deny.

　　 After all, she didn’t know where the ruins of this city belonged in the old world. What if there were food storage depots found in other ruins?

　　 Moreover, the generation of "unintentional ones" from generation to generation is completely possible to evolve the ability to eat rice and flour.

　　Long Yuehong listened to the discussion between the two ladies and couldn't help but speak:

　　 "There are so many'unintentional people' here, and the situation is strange, shall we retreat?

　　 "If you just move something on the way out, it's a good harvest!"

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

　　 Qiaochu ignored him, but urged Shang Jian Yao to say:

"Faster."

　　 He seemed to accept what Jiang Baimian said just now, and felt that it was necessary to investigate what happened to Wu Shoushi, otherwise, it would 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. He didn't find any obvious damage on Wu Shoushi's body, but the other's face was distorted, as if he had seen something extremely scary or had encountered something extremely scary.

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

　　Combined with Qiao Chu's statement, Shang Jian Yao 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, which means 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 anesthetic gas inhaled... …" Jiang Baimian moved closer and helped Shang Jianyao to quickly complete the inspection.

　　 Then, she straightened up and looked at Qiao Chu, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong with a slightly solemn expression:

　　"It is highly likely that they will be forced to sleep by the ability similar to the nightmare horse.

　　 "It is uncertain whether this was made by the nightmare horse or some other monster."

　　 "Not a nightmare horse." Qiao Chu said very positively.

　　 Jiang Baimian nodded:

　　 "Um... do you know what the roar of a nightmare horse is like?"

　　 Joe opened his mouth for the first time, as if he wanted to simulate, but felt too ashamed, and finally gave up this plan.

　　 At this time, Shang Jian Yao also stood up straight.

　　 He took a flashlight and asked seriously:

"Is that so?"

　　As soon as he finished speaking, he learned the loudest and most terrifying roar just now, without any embarrassment.

　　 Of course, this time, he controls the volume.

　　 "No." Qiao Chu shook his head in denial without hesitation.

　　 Jiang Baimian 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 be sure about the question just now—whether the nightmare horse made a huge roar that drew a burst of responses.

　　 "Is that the case?" Shang Jianyao repeatedly 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 the same as a normal horse, with a slight difference."

　　 Shang Jianyao glanced at Qiao Chu:

　　 "I haven't seen a horse."

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

　　 The first thing he uncovered was a brass-colored badge. The front of the badge had an embossed face, a knife and a gun, and a small chip inlaid on the back.

　　 Shang Jian Yao had seen something similar before, and knew it was the badge of the "Hunter Guild", so he handed it over to Jiang Baimian.

　　 Jiang Baimian put it away without reading the contents of the chip.

　　-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 ball on the surface, but it is neatly folded.

　　 Shang saw Yao shook his handkerchief and found no clues. He folded it back as it was and stuffed it into Wu Shoushi's breast pocket.

　　 The third item he found was half a 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.

　　 When Shang Jian Yao was looking at this piece of chocolate, Bai Chen suddenly said:

　　 "It should be that if you want to eat it, just lick it or put it in your mouth."

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

　　 Shang saw Yao nodded slightly when he heard it, and then replied:

"Do you want it?"

　　 "In the ruins of this city, there is no need." Bai Chen shook his head.

　　 There must be a lot of supplies to be found here.

　　 Seeing that Yao didn't ask anyone again, Shang continued to search Wu Shoushi's clothes.

　　 The fourth item he found was a piece of paper that was also neatly folded.

　　 The text on the paper is quite neat:

　　" owes Ruxiang a can of beef;

　　" I owe Ah Gang twice, which is equivalent to a large bag of compressed biscuits;

　　"Half a bowl of oil short of Zhang Cripple;

　　"A pistol owed to Oakland, ten bullets;

　　"I owe Xiaoguang a meal;

　　 "I owe a flower like fragrance..."

　　 Shang Jian Yao quickly finished reading, folded the piece of paper again and put it in his pocket.

　　 "You won't, do you want to help him pay it back?" Jiang Baimian looked a little surprised.

　　 However, she wouldn't be too surprised to see what Yao did.

　　 Shang Jian Yao replied with no expression:

　　 "If you meet his companions, give them this piece of paper and the hunter badge."

　　 Jiang Baimian nodded his head slowly ~ www.readwn.com ~ with a small amplitude and no 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 old world coins still be used?" Long Yuehong glanced at it and asked in surprise.

　　 "Yes, but it doesn't look at the face value, it just depends on what metal it is and how heavy it is." Bai Chen explained briefly.

　　 Of those twelve coins, seven were silver and five were gold. 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 Jian Yao made 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 Wu Shoushi carried when he first met them, I don’t know where it went.

　　 After searching, Shang Jian Yao put the clothes back on Wu Shoushi.

　　 "Let's go." Seeing that there was no clue, Qiao urged not patiently.

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

　　Shang saw Yao walking at the end, looked up, suddenly jumped up, and pulled down the metal door.

In the sound of 　　 crashing, the house was 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 he said in a deep voice, "Keep up!"

　　Shang saw that Yao had no other behavior, followed behind the team, continued to hold his gun, and trot towards the ruins of the city in the deep night.
