Embers Ad Infinitum

"Hope is Taicheng." Long Yuehong, who was taking turns driving, whispered to himself.

In this way, the "Old Tune Team" can quickly complete the exploration and return to "Pangaea Creatures".

At this moment, Long Yuehong subconsciously wanted to pray, but he couldn't find a suitable person. He was not any religious believer, and he was not willing to go to any mountain to sing any song like Shang Jianyao did.

As for God, he felt it was too illusory.

After careful consideration, he decided to ask his ancestors for blessings.

Hearing Long Yuehong's words, Shang Jianyao sneered:

"Can't wait to go back to the company?"

Long Yue's face turned red and she was embarrassed to admit it.

"It's been several months since I came out. I need to go back to the company to rest for a while." The person who spoke to him was Bai Chen, who was frank and without shame.

The "Old Tune Group" left "Pangu Biology" in early spring. It is now midsummer, and there is still a long journey to go back.

Jiang Baimian then smiled and said:

"The current situation of our group is very worrying."

"After settling down, we will settle down, and then we will get married and start a business." Shang Jianyao began to talk nonsense.

Suddenly, he turned his head and glanced at Gnawa:

"Old Ge, are you a little lonely? We entered the company's underground building to attend Xiaohong and Xiaobai's wedding, and you can only stay outside, waiting for the next adventure?"

Before Bai Chen and others spoke, Gnawa moved his metal neck left and right:

"No.

"You didn't exclude me. It was purely due to practical constraints that you let me stay outside. Why should I feel lonely?"

A true straight man of steel... Jiang Baimian breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

Regarding the wedding mentioned in Shang Jianyao's words, Long Yuehong was looking forward to it on the one hand, but on the other hand she was a little shy. She cleared her throat and said to Gnawa:

"Don't worry, we won't forget your share."

As a native employee of "Pangu Biology", he felt that since the relationship was confirmed, it was a natural thing to talk about marriage.

"What is it?" It was Shang Jianyao who asked curiously.

Ordinary people are like candies or melon seeds, what would be better for a robot to give... Long Yuehong had a flash of inspiration and blurted out:

"power bank!"

There was a sudden silence in the Jeep, as if someone had told a joke that wasn't funny.

Bang bang bang, Shang Jianyao's support was just a few seconds late.

Honest Gnawa then said:

"There probably isn't a power bank suitable for me. You can consider using a high-performance battery charging device."

"No problem!" In order to cover up her embarrassment, Long Yuehong quickly agreed.

At this time, Bai Chen also said:

"When we get back to the ground, we can make up for it again."

Long Yuehong was stunned for a moment, then beamed with joy:

"Yeah yeah!"

When he returned to the ground... Jiang Baimian forcibly controlled his toothache expression.

While talking, the Jeep drove along the preserved old world road to a fault zone.

It seems that this place has been bombed, and the roads have collapsed in many places, and some are even twisted.

Judging from the green grass growing in this area, it seems that many years have passed since the destruction.

"We have to take a detour." Long Yuehong stepped on the brakes little by little, causing the Jeep to stop in the middle of the road without any surprise.

In the old world, this was definitely a bad driving habit, but in today's ice fields, there may not be many cars passing through in the morning.

"The detour may take a long time." Bai Chen looked out the window and found that only a relatively intact road leading to the distance remained on the left side.

The buildings on both sides of it are gradually decreasing, as if they are heading to other cities, and between it and the target direction of the "Old Adjustment Team" are large areas of hills, forests, swamps and deserted farmland.

Jiang Baimian pushed the door open and got out of the car, observed the terrain for a while and said:

"Hey, Xiaohong, put on the military exoskeleton device. Xiaobai, help me put it on."

Bai Chen was a little confused, but he still did it.

Not long after, the bodies of Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, and Long Yuehong were covered with cold and hard metal skeletons, and the corresponding operating systems were started.

"Lao Ge, come on, let's take a corner each." Jiang Baimian pointed to the jeep.

Only then did Long Yuehong suddenly realize:

"Team leader, what do you mean, we lift the car across this fault zone?"

"Otherwise?" Jiang Baimian bent down.

With the help of a military exoskeleton device, she almost overturned the jeep by herself.

Shang Jianyao has always had a spirit of experimentation when it comes to new things like this. He picked the spot second and tried to lift the jeep.

Without considering biological prostheses, his strength is about the same as Jiang Baimian.

After Long Yuehong and Gnawa took their places, Shang Jianyao got in front of Jiang Baimian and shouted loudly:

"One, two, three, get up!"

The jeep was lifted easily, with one person carrying a corner.

"Next, follow my command." Jiang Baimian took back the team leader's power.

She was afraid that while waiting, Shang Jianyao would suddenly have a brain twitch.

By then, although the members of the "Old Tune Team" wearing military exoskeleton devices and the intelligent robot Gnawa will probably be fine, breaking the vehicle will be quite troublesome.

Under the unified command of Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and others sometimes jumped left and sometimes high. With the help of several solid sites in the fault zone, they successfully lifted the jeep to the relatively intact road behind.

"Is this the end?" After putting down the jeep, Shang Jianyao looked unsatisfied.

Long Yuehong looked back at the fault zone and asked with concern:

"What should I do, Xiaobai?"

Jiang Baimian said "Oh!"

"I should have let Xiaobai sit in the car. Her little weight won't affect anything."

After saying "annoyed", she smiled at Long Yuehong:

"Now is the time for you to show off your style. Go over and bring Xiaobai over."

"Uh..." Long Yuehong was startled.

Is there such a good thing?

Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao urged in unison.

Long Yuehong quickly jumped back to the fault zone.

He hesitated for a moment, turned around, squatted down and said:

"I'll carry you."

"Okay." Bai Chen did not refuse.

Jiang Baimian kept smiling as he watched the two people arrive.

Shang Jianyao tried to applaud, but was forcibly held down.

…………

After driving for twenty or thirty minutes along a road that was not too smooth and had many plants blocking the way, a city appeared in front of the "old tune team".

Numerous high-rise buildings, green plants growing wantonly from different places, mottled gray colors, and steel "garbage" everywhere, together constitute a ruins scene that is both familiar and unfamiliar to Jiang Baimian and others.

Long Yuehong couldn't help but sigh:

"Every time I enter such relatively well-preserved urban ruins, I will be shocked by the civilization of the old world. There are so many tall buildings, bridges in the air, countless vehicles, and various high-tech products. Why was it destroyed all of a sudden..."

Jiang Baimian smiled and said:

"If you really say that, the company's underground building is probably more shocking than any of these urban ruins."

Who in the right mind would have thought that there is a building with more than 600 floors and a height of more than 2,000 meters underground?

Long Yuehong thought about it carefully and found that it was really like this.

It's just that he was born in a "Pangu creature" and grew up in a "Pangu creature". He has long been accustomed to this miraculous civilizational crystallization and turned a blind eye.

"What needs to be confirmed now is where this is." Bringing the topic back on track, it was Shang Jianyao who looked serious.

"Yes." After analysis, Gennava chose to agree with this behavior.

Jiang Baimian pointed forward:

"Go around the abandoned vehicles, and then we'll look for clues along the street that can confirm the name of the city."

"Okay." Long Yuehong turned the steering wheel and drove the Jeep directly onto the pedestrian part of the street.

As for the driveways, they had long been turned into disorderly parking lots after the destruction of the old world, with white corpses scattered among them.

After Long Yuehong parked the jeep, the "Old Tune Team" was divided into two teams. One team was Shang Jianyao and Gnawa, and the other team was Bai Chen, Long Yuehong and Jiang Baimian. There were awakened people on both sides.

They then rotated around guarding vehicles and searching houses on the street.

Ten minutes later, Shang Jianyao and Gnawa walked back to the jeep.

The former said to Jiang Baimian:

“We saw a promotional billboard over there.

"It says……"

Shang Jianyao suddenly paused.

"What's written?" Long Yuehong blurted out.

Shang Jianyao laughed:

"Writes:

“Let’s build a beautiful Taicheng together!”

Jiang Baimian's brows suddenly frowned:

"Is this really Taicheng?"

Long Yuehong and Bai Chen also felt a little confused.

Arriving at your destination so easily?

"Other clues also indicate that this is indeed Taicheng..." Gnawa began to report the results.

After he finished speaking, Shang Jianyao rubbed his chin and said:

"We also found that a lot of materials have been preserved here, and the gold jewelry on many bones is clearly visible."

His expression gradually became serious:

"Such a city ruins that is relatively easy to find and has not been circled by the Salvation Army, even if it is located in an ice field, should not have no ruin hunters coming.

"Whether you set off from the northern border of the Salvation Army or come from the territory of the White Knights, it takes less than a month to get here. There is no need to face the cold late autumn and midwinter."

PS: Ask for double monthly tickets at the end of the month~
