Embers Ad Infinitum

Hearing Gnawa's words, Jiang Baimian opened his mouth, but said nothing.

She has remembered that one of Gnawa’s core settings is:

Protect mankind and serve mankind.

Long Yuehong subconsciously said:

"They don't necessarily feed on humans..."

While speaking, he fell silent.

At this time, Shang Jianyao and Bai Chen passed under the bare corpses that had been air-dried high in the cave, and came to the depths of what was already a mess.

Bai Chen swept around, not at all moved by the situation here, but simply commented:

"A complete group of'unintentional'."

This is the vocabulary used by the wanderers in the wilderness. They feel that using "tribes" and "tribes" to describe a small society composed of "unintentional people" is an insult to human beings, and they prefer to use "groups" to refer to this situation. .

Jiang Baimian quickly recovered his condition, frowning and said:

"Among the dozens of ‘unintentional ones’, there are two ‘higher unintentional ones’ who have awakened their abilities. In terms of proportions, the abnormalities are already obvious.

"This is simply a special case, the probability of natural mutation is unexplainable, and there must be a certain reason behind it."

How rare the "high-level unintentional people" are, you can see from the fact that An Ruxiang and Wu Shoushi, the ruin hunter team, were not very wary of similar things when they explored the ruins of Marsh No. 1.

"Unless this itself is left over from the tens of thousands of'unintentional ones'." Bai Chen helped Jiang Baimian fill in the logical loopholes.

In places like Marsh No. 1 Ruins, in addition to the special brought by Xiaochong, the number of "unintentional people" is also enough to support the birth of many "high-level unintentional people".

Jiang Baimian said with an "um":

"Let's search here separately, examine the corpse, and see what clues we can find."

Long Yuehong picked up her mood and cooperated with Bai Chen to search every corner of the cave.

After a long time, Gnawa reported the preliminary autopsy results:

"There are no pinholes left on these corpses, and there are no traces of surgery."

This preliminarily ruled out the possibility that scientific experiments caused this group of "unintentional people" to be abnormal.

Because of the experiment, regular blood draw analysis and comparison are inevitable steps, among which there will be some traces with a high probability.

In some cases, it is also a solution to judge the effect of the experiment through surgery.

Shang Jian Yao squatted next to a corpse and said with the back of his hand against his chin:

"Almost all corpses have traces of radiation, including the appearance of lymphoma."

"Do you still know this?" Long Yuehong was a little surprised.

Shang Jian Yao pointed to Gnawa:

"You can always trust Old Ge."

Just now, Gnawa has communicated with him about this situation.

He forced it.

Bai Chen pursed his mouth and said:

"It can't explain anything.

"Many of the areas where the'unintentional' are active are places with relatively serious pollution. Otherwise, they would have been completely cleared by the large regular army."

"Not necessarily." The honest Shang Jianyao began to retort, "With so many settlements of wilderness wanderers, those big powers are not yet mastered? They have limited manpower and there are too many places suitable for hiding."

"However, most of the settlements for the wilderness wanderers are in places where the environment is relatively harsh and only barely able to survive. They are relatively suitable for farming, and the water resources are not polluted. They are all occupied by big forces." Longyue Red Gang Bai Chen replied.

Jiang Baimian patted his hand:

"Okay, okay, continue searching."

Seven or eight minutes later, Jiang Baimian squatted next to a mutilated corpse, touched the metal decoration of his blue denim trousers, and muttered to himself:

"It is very magnetic..."

"This is the trend of the old world?" Shang Jianyao approached him with curiosity. "People of different genders wear pants with different magnetic poles. Once men and women get close to a certain extent, they will directly attract each other. So, if there is no Good impression, please keep enough distance?"

What kind of thinking... Jiang Baimian admitted that he couldn't keep up with Hey's thoughts at all.

Fortunately, she doesn't need to bother to think about how to respond to this guy. The "smart and clear" Gnawa said:

"I also found this problem.

"The metal decorations on the clothes and trousers of several corpses have been magnetized."

Jiang Baimian's eyes moved slightly and stood up and said:

"This is because they wear the original clothes, and the rest of the'unintentional' have been replaced with those of the wilderness wanderers?"

Therefore, one is magnetic and the other is not.

Jiang Baimian’s guess was quickly confirmed, because Long Yuehong and Bai Chen found bats, daggers, kitchen knives, iron rods and other items near the other exit of the cave.

In these, as long as they are metallic, there is more or less the phenomenon of being magnetized.

Accordingly, Jiang Baimian gave his own guess:

"This group of'unintentional people' should come from a place with heavier pollution, where there is a strong magnetic field for some reason.

"However, it is currently impossible to tell whether they have settled there or passed by during their migration."

"Among them, the number of'high-level unintentional' is obviously higher because of the strong magnetic field?" Long Yuehong was more concerned about this issue.

Shang Jian Yao laughed:

"You can try.

"Maybe it will succeed?"

I'm not stupid...Long Yuehong mumbled in her heart.

When I saw Thermaltake, I was more excited:

"If it really works, you can find someone to try if the awakening ability can be inherited..."

Uh... Long Yuehong stopped talking.

"Huh." Jiang Baimian interrupted Shang Jianyao's imagination, "The Awakeners have been around for so many years. If they can be inherited, do you think the company will let you, let me, and stay single?"

"Maybe it's just a lack of suitable matching." Shang Jianyao tried to insist.

Jiang Baimian ignored him and looked around:

"We are now going to other wilderness homeless settlements nearby to find out where there are areas with heavier pollution and disordered magnetic fields.

"Well, bury all the corpses here, bury them deeper, take away all valuable items, don't waste them, you can trade later."

…………

In a wilderness homeless settlement in the ruins of the city, several members of the "Old Tune Team" met the leader known as the elder.

——Relying on the city’s sewer system, this settlement has developed a society of nearly 300 people.

Their main food is edible moss and mushrooms, and the sewers and the hidden environment of urban ruins are only suitable for these plants.

Therefore, when Shang Jian Yao met that elder, the first question was:

"Is it tasty?

"Are mushrooms and moss delicious?"

The elder was in his forties, with a messy brown beard, and his eyes seemed to be a little shortsighted.

He smiled slightly proudly:

"These have been screened for several generations, and the taste is definitely not a problem."

After speaking, as if afraid of the "old-tone group" being worried, he pulled the blue coarse cloth and added:

"It's just that the yield is very problematic. We have grown it in so many places, but there is still not enough food."

Frankly speaking, if these outsiders hadn't found the door directly and showed great strength, he would definitely not receive them.

Jiang Baimian asked with interest:

"Mr. Dawson, normal mushrooms and moss can't be grown like this, right?"

Dawson rubbed his hands unconsciously:

"There used to be a research institute here that specializes in improving mushrooms and moss. We found the materials they left behind and we experimented for a long time.

"I am still doing this."

Hey, Shang Jianyao applauded and said:

"It's amazing. Can we replace your mushrooms and moss with canned meat later?"

Dawson was taken aback for a moment, and said with joy:

"good."

Long Yuehong was suddenly a little scared:

"In addition to mushrooms and moss, what do you usually eat?"

He originally wanted to ask if anything bad would happen if he ate too much mushrooms and moss, but thought that the other party would definitely not answer truthfully, he gave up this idea, and planned to let Gnava quantitatively test for toxicity in the future.

Dawson replied not too caringly:

"We will also organize out hunting, mushrooms and moss will also attract mice."

After chatting for a while, Jiang Baimian glanced at the rusty pipe outside ~www.readwn.com~ and asked tentatively:

"Mr. Dawson, is there any place in the surrounding area with heavy pollution and very disordered magnetic field?"

Dawson asked doubtfully:

"What is a magnetic field?"

"..." Jiang Baimian adjusted quickly, "That is where the metal you carry will become heavier..."

Dawson recalled:

"There is no such place nearby."

In the disappointment of Long Yuehong, Bai Chen and others, Dawson's conversation turned:

"But we once had a hunting squad that went far to the west, and there was the situation you described..."

You gasped...Long Yuehong couldn't help but slandered.

Dawson continued:

"But I advise you not to go. It will be very uncomfortable to stay there for a long time. There is also a very powerful bandit group nearby. They are called'Zorro' and they have dozens of artillery!"
