Embers Ad Infinitum

　　 The high roof, the empty roof, the sad female voice melodiously.

　　 Jiang Baimian listened quietly for a while, then looked around the dead and dark city around, and said with a sigh:

　　 "This song is pretty good."

　　 Without waiting for Shang Jian Yao to respond, Jiang Baimian continued:

　　"Go on. The lights are off, and I don’t know what will happen again. We must always monitor the Jeep and the armored vehicles.

　　 "If it's an oversight, you can wipe them out, and then it will be more troublesome to face the danger."

　　 She doesn't worry about whether there will be vehicles to rush tomorrow morning, because there seems to be a lot of cars in the ruins of the city.

　　 "Yes, group leader!" Long Yuehong replied reflexively.

　　 Jiang Baimian glanced again at Shang Jian Yao:

　　 "Turn off the speakers, otherwise it is easy to be a target."

　　 Seeing Yao did not refute, Shang squatted down, picked up the small blue speaker with black face, turned it off, and threw it into the tactical backpack.

　　 The surrounding area suddenly became extremely quiet again, only the high wind was hunting.

　　 When the four people from the "Old Tune Group" went to the top of the stairs, Bai Chen couldn't help turning his head and glanced at the city scene that continued to expand into the distance.

　　 Those buildings were hidden in the darkness, no sound came out, and no light appeared.

　　 "Team leader, do you think this looks like a tombstone?" When Bai Chen looked back, his voice asked softly.

　　 Jiang Baimian looked back and was silent for a moment:

　　 "Well, those buildings are like old world tombstones, tombstones..."

　　 Before she finished her voice, Shang Jianyao asked:

　　 "What is a tombstone?"

　　 There is no cemetery inside "Pangu Biology", and each dead employee has only one line of text carved on the corresponding wall.

　　 "It's..." Jiang Baimian organized the language, "Forget it, I will explain to you later."

　　 She immediately walked into the stairs and turned on the flashlight.

　　 This time, they could no longer take the elevator, so they could only trot down.

　　 Fortunately, their physical fitness is quite good, and three of them have been genetically modified. Therefore, when they returned to Room 805, they were just a little panting and not very tired.

　　 Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao separately checked the room again and confirmed that no dangerous creatures had broken into it.

　　 "Bai Chen, you and Long Yuehong have a rest. I am responsible for monitoring Jeep and armored vehicles. See Yao pay attention to the streets outside." Jiang Baimian took the flashlight and returned to the living room.

　　 "Yeah." Bai Chen kept watching the team leader come to the restaurant window, set up the "Orange" rifle, and then said thoughtfully, "The place where the explosion happened just now seems to be the mysterious laboratory Qiao Chu said."

　　 Jiang Baimian did not turn his head, watching downstairs intently:

　　 "That direction, that location, there is a high probability.

　　 "I don't know if Qiao Chu's mission is to destroy there, or because he was entangled in the mechanical monk's purification method. Due to various accidents, this big explosion..."

　　Shang Jianyao looked at the place where the fire and air flow had just risen, and said seriously:

　　 "I guess it's the previous possibility."

　　 "A conclusion drawn from the situation of the Eighth Research Institute described by Du Heng?" Jiang Baimian asked subconsciously.

　　 Shang Jian Yao shook his head:

　　 "I just counted the cars on the side of the road.

　　 "The result is singular."

　　 "..." Jiang Baimian sipped, "I shouldn't have discussed issues with you so seriously."

　　 Long Yuehong hasn't spoken since he left the rooftop. At this moment, he looked at the ruins of the city that was submerged in darkness outside, and said in a slightly erratic tone:

　　 "Leader, I understand a bit now why you want to investigate the cause of the destruction of the old world, why you like to dig out the past history from the ruins of the city..."

　　 Jiang Baimian listened quietly, and smiled with satisfaction:

"As long as you know."

　　 Long Yuehong wanted to say something more, but she didn't know how to express it, so she could only continue to stare at the silent city with many dangers hidden, and then said:

　　 "What will happen next?"

"Who knows?" Jiang Baimian still stared at the Jeep and the armored car, "I just hope that all changes will not be affected, I only hope that Qiao Chu is driven out of the ruins of the city by Jing Fa, or that the two sides fight to their limits , We are all seriously injured. In short, let us just stay there until dawn and drive away."

　　 "Team leader, it seems unlucky for you to say that." Shang Jian Yao replied casually.

　　 Jiang Baimian said in an angry and helpless voice:

　　 "We have all been unlucky so many times, things are going to be reversed, should we be very happy?"

　　 Hearing the words "unlucky", Long Yuehong felt inexplicably guilty and touched her mouth.

　　 I don’t know if Jiang Baimian’s words are really valid. In the next few hours, in the entire city ruins, although there were explosions, gunshots, and roars from time to time, they did not spread to the tunnel direction.

　　 When it was midnight, the place fell silent.

　　 Time passed by, the sky gradually lit up, and buildings broke free from the darkness, showing their own posture.

　　 But in the eyes of Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and others, they are more and more like tombstones, or faded tombstones in dark, gray, or turquoise.

　　 "Let's go." After breakfast quickly, Jiang Baimian gave the order.

　　 This time, she let Bai Chen and Long Yuehong sit in the armored vehicle and drive them in turn, while she and Shang Jian Yao are responsible for the jeep.

　　 The morning light was shining, they did not return along the original tunnel road, because the road was too twisty and dangerous. Without the guidance from Qiao Chu who was familiar with the situation, the vehicle would easily get stuck in the swamp.

　　 Moreover, Jiang Baimian suspected that some sections of the road could not bear the weight of armored vehicles.

　　According to An Ruxiang's statement and the traces left by the hunters of the ruins, they circled a small half circle north and left the ruins of the city on a relatively better road.

　　 On the way, they did not forget to collect some watches, LCD screens, sunglasses and various useful metals, and even found two barrels of suitable oil for the armored vehicles.

　　 drove on, Jiang Baimian narrowed his eyes, and said to the businessman in the co-pilot's position:

　　 "A convoy came in front, dozens or hundreds of people."

　　 She had just finished speaking, and she was already awake.

　　 "About a hundred people, this is the action brigade of Wang Beicheng."

　　 That is the team sent by "Pangu Creature" to investigate the anomaly here.

　　 Sure enough, they quickly saw armored vehicles and other things, and they saw Wang Beicheng, the captain of the 23rd brigade.

　　Wang Beicheng was also surprised when he met Jiang Baimian and others again. He straightened the gray-black beret on top of his head, glanced at the armored car behind the Jeep that did not belong to the company, and said to Jiang Baimian:

　　"Didn't you go to Qifeng Town?

　　 "Why are you here again and got an armored vehicle?"

　　 More importantly, it seems to have entered the newly discovered city ruins earlier than them.

　　 "Haha, accident, accident." Jiang Baimian laughed dryly.

　　 She immediately became serious, and roughly recounted the fact that she and others were enchanted by Qiao Chu and entered the ruins of the city from the trail.

　　 This includes related information such as the "Urban Wisdom Network Control Center", Mystery Laboratory, "Advanced Unintentional", Nightmare, Xiaochong, Du Heng, Galoran, and the last big bang.

In this, Jiang Baimian only concealed the knowledge of the awakened by Du Heng and the place where Shang Jianyao’s ability played a role, and cleverly linked the reason for them to get rid of the charm of Qiao Chu with the "higher unintentional" and the boy Xiao Chong. together.

　　 This is actually true from a certain angle.

　　 Wang Beicheng listened, his expression became solemn, and finally said sincerely:

　　 "Thank you so much. If it weren't for this information, we would havetily go in. I don't know how many people will die!

　　"Moreover, the ‘higher unintentional’ and deformed creatures there are definitely more than the ones you encounter. It is still very dangerous if we rely on our action team, even if we have a certain understanding in advance.

　　 "I will immediately send back the information and ask for reinforcements.

　　 "Next, we should only establish a stronghold on the edge of the city..."

　　 Jiang Baimian waved his hand:

　　 "What you want to do has nothing to do with us."

　　 Wang Beicheng glanced at the armored car again, rubbed his hands, and hesitated with a smile:

　　 "Can you support the Brothers Group?"

　　 For them, one more armored vehicle and one heavy machine gun would have a considerable combat effectiveness.

　　 Jiang Baimian smiled:

"no problem.

　　"But we have a lot of things in the armored vehicles. Jeep alone will definitely not be able to take them. You are responsible for transporting us back to the company. I have a list.

　　 "Also, the heavy machine gun of that armored car is also our trophy, it should be considered as a contribution."

　　 For them, driving on the dirt is still convenient for Jeep.

　　 Wang Beicheng took a breath like a toothache:

"it is good."

　　 Farewell to Wang Beicheng's brigade, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen returned to the jeep.

　　 Jiang Baimian said thoughtfully while driving:

　　 "Since I met Wang Beicheng and the others, it means that there should be no danger on this road, and I won't run into Qiao Chu again.

　　 "Shang Jian Yao, you can remove the effect of your'inference clown'."

　　 Shang Jian Yao was playing with a pair of black sunglasses, sometimes putting it on and sometimes taking it off.

　　 Hearing the command of the team leader, he smiled and said:

　　 "There are many couples who come in free love in the company."

　　 Jiang Baimian was taken aback, and patted the Jeep's speaker:

　　 "Yes, how can I think that true love is the one assigned?"

　　 Shang Jian Yao immediately turned his head and said to Bai Chen:

　　"Humans can also be trusted and depended on.

　　 "After these few days, do you think we can protect your back?"

　　 Bai Chen was startled, his eyes flickered uncontrollably.

　　 At this time, Jiang Baimian interrupted his way:

　　 "Why are these words so familiar?

　　 "You plagiarized what I said!"

　　 "This is called quotation." Shang Jianyao responded solemnly.

　　 Bai Chen listened to their quarrel, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

　　 Shang Jian Yao looked at Long Yuehong, who was a little confused, and smiled:

　　 "Biological organ transplantation, nerve reconstruction, artificial uterus."

　　 "..." Long Yuehong's face muscles twitched a few times, resisting the urge to beat Shang Jian Yao.

　　 can't beat it after all.

　　 Before he recalled, he realized that he had been unconsciously affected by the "inference clown", and he blurted out with a little fear:

　　 "Do you usually mislead me with'Reference Clown'?"

　　 Shang saw Yaotou and didn't turn back, he said directly:

"You do not deserve."

　　 "..." Long Yuehong didn't know whether to be fortunate or to be sad.

　　 Jiang Baimian finally couldn’t stand it any longer, and he said to Shang:

　　 "You sleep for a while, and then it's your turn to drive.

　　 "Huh, I finally got rid of the mess here.

　　 "Next, we can't delay any longer, the goal is Qifeng Town!"

　　 Seeing Yao's words, Shang squeezed his temples, put on sunglasses, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes.

　　…………

　　 Deep in the "Hall of Stars", at the top of the silver stairs, in front of the gray stone gate.

　　 Shang Jianyao glanced at the three grooves above, with one hand in the pocket, the other hand out, and pressing on the door.

　　 In the groove, the white light rises up and converges into three groups of illusory stars~www.readwn.com~ Among them, the white light representing the "inference clown" is much brighter than the other two groups.

　　 In the next second, the white light showing the words "The Hypocritical Man" quickly brightened, and it quickly became equivalent to "Reference Clown".

　　 After a short period of solidification, the heavy stone gate trembles slightly and slowly moves back.

　　 As the gap in the door gets bigger and bigger, Shang Jianyao sees the scene clearly.

　　 It was an imaginary "sea" that was beyond sight, and the glimmer of light gliding gently on the surface of the water.

　　 "The Sea of ​​Origin".

　　…………

　　 After Jiang Baimian drove the Jeep out of the depths of the swamp, he woke up Shang Jian Yao:

"It's your turn.

　　 "Next, let us have a smooth journey!"

　　 Shang Jian Yao opened his eyes, took off his sunglasses, and went around the driver's seat neatly, swapping positions with the team leader.

　　 When he sat down, he saw the endless gray and black wilderness ahead, with few clouds in the sky and bright blue.

　　 "The weather is great." Shang Jianyao nodded, first put on sunglasses, and then took out the small speaker from the tactical backpack.

　　 Seeing Jiang Baimian looked over, he moved his body and said with a smile:

　　 "How can I drive without music?"

　　 When Bai Chen and Long Yuehong looked around one after another, Shang Jian Yao rang the speaker.

　　 A hoarse cry followed:

　　"Get up, hungry slave...

　　 "Get up, the suffering people all over the world..."

　　 In the passionate and generous singing, Shang Jian Yao waved his hand:

"set off!"

　　 Before the words fell, he kicked the accelerator to make the Jeep gallop across the wilderness and drive into the distance.
