Embers Ad Infinitum
Vol 2 Chapter 40: origin
Latest website: Jiang Baimian did not expect the other party to ask about such a very simple matter, and after a little thought, he replied:
"Follow the normal route and you will be there in two or three days. If you encounter the flooding of the raging lake, you need to detour, and it may last more than a week."
This group of people sounds like they have never been to Hongshiji... What are they doing there? Buy all kinds of smuggled goods? Long Yuehong, who was listening, extracted the key points of the conversation just now.
Without waiting for the other party to respond, Jiang Baimian said in a joking tone:
"Didn't you find a guide?"
"I found it." The younger man's expression changed slightly, "He is not a thing..."
The older man with the national character face glanced at his companion and prevented him from continuing to speak.
He laughed himself:
"We are not very familiar with this place, and the guide we were looking for was not that reliable, and they almost led us astray."
He confessed that his team is not familiar with this area, because it can easily be inferred from their questioning how long the Redstone Set is.
Isn't a guide a thing? Jiang Baimian repeated the words of the young man in his heart.
This gave her a guess:
Could it be that the guide caused the attack last night?
After he was hired by this team, he bullied them as outsiders, colluded with the bandit gang, left a mark, and planned to cooperate inside and outside to make a fortune?
"You are not lost." The honest Shang Jian Yao pointed out the loopholes in the other party's words, "You are on the right path now."
The older man glanced at Shang Jianyao, then smiled and explained:
"I'm talking about it. Actually, we don't know which direction we should go next. We can only come over and ask you."
Shang Jianyao quickly pointed to the direction when he came:
"Exclude it first."
Needless to say, normal humans know... well, except for the road idiot like the group leader... Long Yue red belly slandered a few words, but he didn't dare to say it.
In order to prevent Shang Jianyao from continuing to "shame his eyes", Jiang Baimian raised his right hand, intending to show the way.
Wait a moment! Team leader, are you unconscious? Long Yuehong tried to stop, but couldn't speak.
What's the difference between this and the blind man giving directions?
When Shang saw Yao's face showing "panic", Bai Chen said before Jiang Baimian:
"You keep walking in this direction until you see Nuhu Lake, then go south along the lake and find a large city ruin."
The directions she provided were clear, the signs were clear, and there were no twists and turns in the middle, so people could understand it at first, and they felt that there should be no problem.
The older man sketched the map in his mind and asked:
"Are there no other city ruins on the way?"
The reason why Hongshiji is hard to find is because Nuhu Lake and its surrounding areas had huge urban agglomerations in the old world.
"It was there before Nuhu Lake, but not to the south." Bai Chen explained briefly.
This has been confirmed by the "old tune group" before.
"In other words, the Redstone Collection is indeed not far away... No wonder you will be there in two or three days if you speak quickly." The older man smiled relievedly, "You are regulars of the Redstone Collection."
Otherwise, you won't be so familiar with the road.
"I have been there twice." Jiang Baimian really couldn't tell the truth anymore.
Of course, she didn't mention that just two times, the "old tune group" turned the Red Stone Group upside down, and the pattern of influence has changed tremendously.
The older man nodded and did not ask any more:
"What kind of remuneration do we need to pay?"
Jiang Baimian saw that Shang Jianyao was lost in thought, and he didn't know what request he would make, so he laughed quickly:
"Just give a few cans."
"Okay." The older man turned his head and said to his companion next to him, "You go to the car and get eight cans."
He has a deep voice and a kind of majesty of his own.
The young man immediately turned around and walked towards the dark mountain bike parked ten meters away.
Taking advantage of this free time, the older man continued to ask:
"What do you need to pay attention to in Redstone?"
"Learn to play hide and seek." Shang Jianyao's expression was sincere and serious.
The older man was silent for a few seconds when he heard the words, and then asked thoughtfully:
"People there mainly believe in'You Gu'?"
"Yes." Shang Jianyao raised his hands, crossed them against his chest, and took a step back. "The distance is our friend!"
"Do you also believe in'You Gu'?" the older man asked with a little interest.
Shang Jian Yao thought for a while and said:
"It depends."
Because of your piety, the old people didn't kill you with a thunder, absolutely because they haven't discussed who will take the shot... Jiang Baimian muttered silently.
Then, she reminded the opposite:
"When you arrive at Redstone, you need to find a townsman in the ruins of the city and let him lead the way before you can reach your destination.
"This is their folklore. People who have been there can't tell other people the exact location of Redstone."
The older man didn't show any embarrassed expression, but just nodded:
"thanks."
At this time, his companion walked back with eight cans.
Canned sardines, canned knuckles in sauce...Long Yuehong glanced at it and found that the category was a little different from what she used to eat.
After Jiang Baimian took the can, the older man said goodbye.
He took his companions, returned to the car, and drove towards the main unit.
Throughout the process, they had basic precautions, but they were not particularly vigilant.
"I have a certain degree of confidence in my own strength..." Jiang Baimian said with emotion after watching the dark mountain bike go away.
She looked down at the can in her hand and suddenly smiled:
"Guess, where did these people come from?"
Bai Chen recalled the conversation just now, and said unhurriedly:
"Although they are trying their best to control their accent, they still show a little bit of trouble.
"They should come from the northeastern part of the dusty area, or often deal with people there."
Hearing the northeastern part of the mainland, and that the team were all gray people, Long Yuehong had a guess:
"People from the'Salvation Army'?"
The "White Knights" and the east of the "First City" belong to the "Salvation Army".
Jiang Baimian laughed in a low voice:
"Anyway, these canned foods seem to come from over there.
"Furthermore, they behave simply and neatly, and the overall order is in order, like soldiers rather than bandits and hunters,"
Perhaps because of smuggling, the cans in Jiang Baimian's hands are not printed on the manufacturer.
Shang Jian Yao got excited, stretched out his right hand, pressed it on the left chest, straightened his body and saluted the rest of the group:
"For all mankind!"
He looks like he is going to find those people to "reserve the old" now!
Jiang Baimian stopped him:
"Let's talk about it at the Redstone Collection.
"I don't know why they came to Nuhu Lake..."
The "Salvation Army" and the Nuhu Lake area are separated from the "First City", and their influence is almost impossible to penetrate, and there are usually few of their people who are active here.
"To open up a smuggling route?" Bai Chen guessed.
Jiang Baimian nodded lightly, and said carefully:
"After the'Initially City' turmoil, there is a tendency to shift the contradictions out, and the'Salvation Army' bears the brunt.
"In this way, it is normal for them to make various plans and reserve resources."
Returning to the dark mountain bike of the main unit, the young man in the driving area glanced at the older companion beside him, and said respectfully:
"Commissioner Xu, the most active man in the team just now should be the Awakened, but he is not sure whether it is at the level of the'Spirit Corridor'.
"There may be other awakened among them."
The older man known as Committee Member Xu nodded gently and said:
"His price currently seems to be not strong in self-control ability, which belongs to the field of the'last man'.
"But there are still a lot of costs for similar performance, and it's not certain for the time being."
…
When the team suspected of being from the "Salvation Army" left the river and headed towards the direction Bai Chen pointed out, the members of the "Old Tune Team" calmly finished their lunch and got on the jeep.
Jiang Baimian glanced at Shang Jianyao in the back row:
"You can take a nap and go into that psychological shadow again to see what is unusual."
Shang Jian Yao has long been eager to try.
...
"Spirit Corridor", in the "912" room.
After Shang Jian Yao entered, he thought he would appear at the pier, which was the starting point of this psychological shadow, but found that he was directly in the cabin of the cruise ship.
"Can you save here?" Shang Jianyao looked surprised.
In this way, you don't have to go back to the starting point every time, UU reading www.uukanshu.com will start all over again!
He looked around, raised his hand and rubbed his chin:
"This is another unusual point.
"Also, when we boarded the cruise ship before, the sky was not completely dark, but now the moon is hanging high outside."
At this time, a black cloud flowed past, blocking the moon.
Leaning on the aisle wall lamp lighting, Shang Jianyao opened a door next to him.
This is the room he entered last time, and he thinks about how the people in it are now.
In the next second, Shang Jianyao saw the pair of men and women who had fought fiercely before.
But now, one of them is standing next to the bed, constantly pushing his back forward, hitting the air, one holding his chest, and constantly spinning back and forth in the near door area, as if they have lost their way in such a small place.
