Embers Ad Infinitum

While talking, Ding Ling took out a color photo from the inner pocket of his black uniform.

The protagonist of the photo is a man in his twenties, thin, slightly dark, wearing black-rimmed glasses, his hair is clearly combed, and he is lying backwards neatly.

"This is a photo taken almost ten years ago. He will be more mature now, and his hair is not so neat." Ding Ling added earnestly.

She handed the photo to Shang Jianyao, who took the initiative to stretch her hands over, and paused:

"If you can meet him somewhere in the ice field, remember to tell him that someone is still waiting for him to come back."

In the end, Ding Ling's tone became quite gentle unconsciously.

"No problem!" Shang Jianyao replied decisively.

He looked at the photo carefully, as if he wanted to imprint the person on it in his mind.

"Okay." Jiang Baimian also agreed.

At the same time, she sighed secretly.

Based on the similar things she has heard and experienced, she actually knows very well that if there is no news after two years, there is a high probability that she will never come back.

However, Jiang Baimian did not pierce Ding Ling's expectations and made her accept the reality, because it is not a bad thing to live on the dust and have a little hope for the future and a little illusion.

Jiang Baimian could also understand why Shang Jianyao was so excited.

She was sure that the other party remembered her father who had been missing for many years.

Shang Jianyao's father was also on a mission to investigate the causes of the destruction of the Old World, and he never went back, and there was no more news.

Since joining the "Old Tune Group", Shang Jianyao has been looking for his father's traces, and now he has a little eyebrow, knowing that there is a certain clue to a city that was destroyed by "No Heart Disease" after the new calendar.

Therefore, Shang Jian Yao mostly sympathized with the fact that Ding Ling asked someone to find her husband and give him a message.

It should be the one who values ​​feelings now... Jiang Baimian took the picture of Ji Qiang from Shang Jianyao and took a serious look:

"We will pay attention."

Ding Ling didn't leave the photo to the "old tune group", but took it back and carefully put it back in the inner pocket of his black uniform.

Bai Chen felt that for various reasons, she had only one photo left.

"What about your wedding photos?" The honest Shang Jianyao apparently thought of a similar question.

It was too late for Jiang Baimian to stop.

Ding Ling, who was still smiling politely when talking about Ji Qiang just now, tranced and said:

"Last year, when I withdrew into the deep mountains and was pursued by people from the'First City,' I fell in a fierce battle and fell into a mountain stream."

At this moment, her grief seemed a little hard to contain.

Always carry it with him... Jiang Baimian deliberately changed the subject:

"Does your settlement have a photocopier?"

"Not this year." Ding Ling shook his head, "When he gave up the settlement last year, it was taken away by the people of the'First City.' A picture for you."

"It's okay, she has a good brain and a strong memory." Shang Jianyao didn't help Jiang Baimian to be modest at all.

After a few more exchanges, Ding Ling led Zeng Ping An to the gate of the settlement.

On the way, Zeng Ping'an looked back at the "old tune group" with a slightly complicated expression.

When they passed the gate and entered the settlement, Bai Chen retracted his gaze and said in a low voice:

"The surname Zeng likes Captain Ding."

"No?" Long Yuehong blurted out.

This age difference is a bit big, it feels bigger than the pair of Yang Zhenyuan and Zhou Qi, at least ten years behind!

Moreover, Yang Zhenyuan and Zhou Qi were married by the company's unified distribution. Under normal circumstances, it is unlikely that they will become a couple.

Jiang Baimian laughed upon hearing this:

"Isn't it normal for 17- or 18-year-olds to like their big sister?

"Furthermore, such a border settlement is lonely outside. Zeng Ping'an has very few people in contact every day. The ratio of men to women here is not balanced. He often has to worry about being secreted by dangerous catalytic hormones and unknowingly likes his mature life. Reliable women, what's the fuss about? Ding Ling is pretty good, right?"

"You understand!" Shang saw Yao almost applauded.

"Expanding it is all a professional psychology paper." Genawah echoed Shang Jianyao's words.

Yeah yeah...Long Yuehong agreed in her heart.

Jiang Baimian smiled modestly:

"Actually, I realized it later, without Xiao Bai, I didn't think there was any big problem, but I thought it was a comradeship of life and death."

Do you think we will believe this? Long Yuehong muttered silently.

Bai Chen nodded:

"I'm fairly sensitive to this aspect."

Uh... Long Yuehong was nervous and uncomfortable.

Honest Gnawa followed:

"I didn't notice this, but the analysis revealed another problem."

"What?" Long Yuehong asked actively.

Gnawa moved his neck made of metal:

"Ding Ling and her husband have been married for almost ten years, and they didn't even mention their children just now.

"In most of the powers in which the dust is on a large scale, encouraging childbirth has always been the forefront of the basic policy, and the'Salvation Army' is no exception."

Jiang Baimian looked around and sighed:

"It may be that I didn't support it after I was pregnant, or I didn't find out at the first time after I got pregnant. I accidentally miscarried when someone broke through or attacked the'First City'.

"There are many reasons. The outside is not as good as the inside of the company, and the fertility environment is not so good."

"Alright." Jiang Baimian slapped his hands, "Prepare dinner."

Just as the "old tune group" was cooking the newly traded canned sauerkraut pork, a pitted and tattered green jeep drove from the east of the creek and stopped at the gate of the settlement.

"Captain Ding, we're here to update the data!" The head of the Jeep co-pilot poked out.

He has wicked eyebrows, and wears a thin felt hat.

Ding Ling knew him, but according to the usual practice, he sent his subordinates to search the bodies of the two opposite people, check the vehicles, and then let them in.

"Why is it so late? Didn't you say that you will be there in the morning?" Ding Ling walked down the wall from the wooden stairs, and asked the man with wicked eyes.

Unlike the gentle restraint when communicating with the "old tune group" just now, she is now aggressive and strong.

"Oh, wrong! Captain Ding, our car broke down on the road, and it took a lot of time to repair it." The thief-eyed man quickly explained.

His name is Zhang Chenguang, a staff member of the Wubei Hunter Guild, and his companions are responsible for regularly updating the hunter information for settlements and border posts in a large area around him to ensure that the data can be unified.

Ding Ling didn't say much, and led Zhang Chenguang and his companions into the two-story building with burning traces deep in the settlement. He pointed to a portable computer and said:

"By the way, let's take a look at why it is so stuck. I wanted to check the information of several hunters before it was displayed for a while, and it was not completely displayed."

"Okay!" Zhang Chenguang is a technician who has received professional training.

Of course, he also works part-time as a relic hunter, because he usually runs around like this, and some tasks are automatically completed, such as helping soldiers in certain outposts to send letters to their homes.

After some cleaning, Ding Ling's computer returned to normal, and then Zhang Chenguang plugged in the U disk and imported the latest hunter information from all over the dust, covering the original.

Ding Ling nodded slightly when she saw it:

"Help me look up the four hunters Xue Shiyue, Zhang Qubing, Qian Bai, and Gu Zhiyong. I haven't seen why they were wanted by the'First City' before.

"The hunter numbers are..."

Ding Ling picked up a piece of paper next to him and read the number on it.

"Okay." Zhang Chenguang tapped the keyboard quite hard.

Soon, he called up the information of Jiang Baimian and others.

"A bounty of 20,000 O'Lei?" Zhang Chenguang stood up abruptly as if there was a nail under his butt.

How many catties can this buy, no, how many tons of pork!

How dangerous is the hunter team that has been offered such a large sum of money!

"I know." Ding Ling said with a look of disgust, "Help me see why they are wanted."

If it weren't for the "old tune group" bounty so high, and on the way to the ice field, she would not ask them for help~www.readwn.com~ Zhang Chenguang sat down tremblingly, as if there were a few monsters lurking outside the room.

"Planning, uh..." Zhang Chenguang was stunned. "Planning a big conspiracy against the'First City'."

Ding Ling doubted her ears:

"The big conspiracy? Against the'First City'?"

Just four people outside and a robot?

Zhang Chenguang mechanically nodded:

"That's what it says in the information."

"Well, the reason for'First City' is not necessarily true. Sometimes, they will find an excuse to cover up the real reason." Ding Ling quickly recovered his calm, "However, they can be so attached to it outside Those few people must have done terrific things, I have to report it up and see if I want to make further contact."

She cast her gaze on the radio transceiver placed in the corner of the room.
