Embers Ad Infinitum

In the early morning of the next day, several members of the "Old Tune Team" simply ate something, packed their belongings, and prepared to get in the car and leave.

At this moment, the gate of the border settlement on the opposite side of Xiaoxi opened, and Ding Ling walked out with Zeng Ping An.

"So early?" She smiled and greeted the "old tune group".

The honest Shang Jian Yao asked back:

"Do you want to invite us to lunch?"

Ding Ling was obviously choked, and he took a moment to say:

"I want you to wait a while. I just want to go back to Wubei to report to my work, so I can go with you."

A smile appeared on her face again:

"Follow me, you can save a lot of trouble on the road.

"Our'Salvation Army' may be different from other forces. It is relatively strict. There is no help from acquaintances, no letters of introduction, no passes. Many farms, forest farms, and settlements will not let you get close at all, let alone trade. Supplies.

"I also wanted to trouble you guys to help me keep an eye on my husband's whereabouts on the ice field, and I was on the way, so I had to help a little bit, so I told you this directly."

Seeing that Xue Shiyue did not reply immediately, but looked sideways at Qian Bai, Ding Ling added two more sentences:

"This is not a mandatory requirement, you can refuse.

"Not walking together is just to say that it will make you more troublesome. It doesn't mean that you can't trade supplies or ask for directions. In the wilderness and outside the settlements, there are some relic hunters who are active as brokers. They can do it. Many things are just relatively inconvenient and more expensive."

Considering that Wubei is a super large settlement closest to Yunshan, it is almost equivalent to an old world city, and it is the only way to the ice field—unless you choose to bypass several more dangerous areas, and Bai Chen nodded again and said that Ding Ling's statement was okay. Jiang Baimian groaned and smiled:

"How can we refuse such kindness?

"It just so happens that we need to go to Wubei to replenish some materials suitable for the ice sheet and obtain relevant information. These are very difficult to obtain in the'primary city'."

"Initially City" does not directly border the ice field.

Ding Ling smiled and nodded:

"Don't worry, I still know a lot of people in Wubei, so you can go through various inspections quickly and get a pass to the ice field.

"Well, I have an elder who works in the logistics department of the'Material Coordination Committee' in Wubei, who can help you introduce some reliable sources of materials."

Ding Ling is short, and didn't say too much in this regard.

"Thank you so much!" Shang Jianyao stretched out his hands before Jiang Baimian to express his gratitude.

Ding Ling was a little embarrassed by him, and actually shook hands with him, feeling the sincerity and joy.

In the next second, Shang Jianyao asked seriously:

"If you want to join your'Salvation Army', what procedures do you need to go through and how long?"

Seeing this guy holding his captain's hand, Zeng Ping'an couldn't help but interject:

"You must have lived in a farm, forest farm, ranch, or city for at least three years."

"So..." Shang Jianyao withdrew his hand in disappointment.

Ding Ling skipped this topic, turned his wrist and looked at the simple electronic watch:

"How about the official departure in fifteen minutes?"

"No problem." Jiang Baimian was kind in this respect.

After watching Ding Ling and Zeng Ping return to the border settlement, she glared at Shang Jianyao.

"Do you want to leave the company?"

"Nothing!" Shang Jian Yao replied confidently, "I just don't mean who I am now. Besides, we have ten of them. It is not a big problem to separate one to join the Salvation Army. The other nine are still It belongs to the company!"

"Heh." Jiang Baimian replied concisely.

In less than fifteen minutes, Ding Ling drove a green bulletproof mountain bike out of the gate of the settlement.

The Jeep of the "Old Tune Group" immediately crossed the creek and reached her side.

Jiang Baimian, who was in the passenger seat, glanced and found that there were two men and one woman in Ding Ling's car, all wearing the black uniforms of the "Salvation Army".

But this does not include the young man named Zeng Ping An before.

"Huh, where's Zeng Ping'an?" The businessman who pressed the car window asked Yao to ask, quite honest.

Ding Ling, who was sitting in the driving area, looked at them sideways, smiled and said:

"He has to stay behind the settlement.

"He and I, as well as two other fighters, are relatively strong fighters here, and can't leave the two at once.

"If it weren't for him to worry about your problems, he would have to stand by my side. I don't want him to accompany me to see you. If one is not good, maybe he will suffer heavy losses."

In this matter, Ding Ling acted carelessly and quite calmly.

There are four awakeners in such a border settlement? Or is it someone who is close in strength but strengthens in a different direction? Jiang Baimian whispered suddenly.

Regardless of the possibility, it shows that the "Salvation Army" is extremely powerful, and it deserves to be the big force that made the "First City" ashamed in the first place.

After a few simple greetings, Ding Ling drove the green mountain bike and drove into the road to the east of Yunshan first, followed by the Jeep of the "Old Tune Team".

Jiang Baimian looked ahead and suddenly smiled:

"Ding Ling probably understands Zeng Ping'an's mind a little, and deliberately finds a high-sounding excuse not to take him."

Bai Chen echoed and nodded:

"Women are relatively sensitive in this regard."

Uh... Long Yuehong became nervous again.

Fortunately, Jiang Baimian did not continue this topic.

Several places that were dangerous or severely damaged were slowly left behind by them, and the road gradually widened and flattened before everyone's eyes.

This is obviously a trace of maintenance.

"Isn't this better than the wild roads of'First City' that has been in disrepair for a long time?" Shang Jianyao pointed out the window quite proudly.

If someone who doesn't understand the basics is here, I'm afraid he will think that he is a member of the "Salvation Army".

Jiang Baimian did not stare at him, nor sneered at him, nodded, and said sincerely:

"The previous'Salvation Army' had extremely strong mobilization capabilities, as can be seen from these details."

As soon as she finished speaking, the green mountain bike in front of her stopped in a relatively open place on the side.

"It's noon, take a break, eat something, and go out of the mountain in a hurry." Ding Ling pushed the door and got out of the car and shouted in the direction of the jeep.

"Okay!" Shang Jianyao replied quite positively.

This made Jiang Baimian couldn't help but doubt one thing:

In this guy's heart, who is his leader now?

Because eating is the common need of all the team members, except for Gnawa, Jiang Baimian is not the kind of person who likes to be awkward and narrow-minded. She has to come the other way. Therefore, she led the team members to get off the car. Direct them to find firewood.

——The energy stored by the solar charging board and the power of the battery can save a little bit.

Upon seeing this, Ding Ling beckoned:

"Don't worry about it, let's go together."

Several of her subordinates have made a fire.

"Alright." Who doesn't want to be lazy when they can be lazy, Jiang Baimian is no exception.

She walked over, swept around, smiled and praised:

"Your subordinates are very motivated!"

Many things do not need to be ordered, just do it yourself.

Ding Ling sat cross-legged on the floor and smiled and said:

"Because it is a benefit for them.

"In border settlements, apart from having a regular holiday to go home every year, you have to stay there at other times and you are not allowed to leave without authorization. It is our common expectation to be able to go to Wubei for mission reasons.

"When I picked people this morning, they called it a positive one. They forced me to make a decision based on the merits of my merits when I was attacked by the'First City' last year."

The two men and the woman who were busy preparing for lunch all smiled and nodded frequently, indicating that the captain was right.

Shang Jian Yao heard this, and asked with concern:

"Was the attack last year particularly dangerous?"

A male member of the "Salvation Army" with a height of only 1.7 meters and a bumpy face replied in fear:

"Yeah, Team D almost died. Fortunately, she was struggling to save her safely. At that time, she was shot three times safely. We all thought that the rescue would not be possible. Fortunately, he was young and had good physique. He finally passed that level."

So... Jiang Baimian forcibly held back, not allowing himself to look at Ding Ling.

"It's all over." Ding Ling smiled and calmed down the subordinates.

She then asked Xue Shiyue:

"You come from the'First City', do you bring a lot of banknotes?"

"Not much, most of them have been replaced with supplies." Jiang Baimian answered calmly.

She also randomly found a place to sit down.

Ding Ling nodded:

"This is very good, mainly because our "Salvation Army" officially does not recognize the banknotes from the "First City". You can only get to the underground black market to exchange for various bills. The discount is very large."

The daily life of the "Salvation Army" mainly deals with bills, supplemented by banknotes.

"We have taken this into consideration." With Jiang Baimian's character, how could he go to the "Salvation Army" site without doing his homework?

The "Old Tune Group" and Ding Ling quickly had lunch. At this moment, a military jeep drove over from the east.

Seeing Ding Ling on the roadside, the military jeep braked suddenly and stopped quickly.

A man who also wore a black uniform left the co-pilot's position and walked around to the open area. He walked closer and shouted:

"Captain Ding, something is looking for you!"

His eyes swept away, and he found Jiang Baimian and others.

"Who are these?" He suspiciously asked Ding Ling~www.readwn.com~my friend. "Ding Ling introduced briefly.

The man didn't say more, took out a document and handed it over:

"Captain Ding, there are two inner ghosts who stole some military supplies and may defect to the'First City.' You should pay special attention to similar figures in your settlement."

Ding Ling gave a sullen expression, opened the file and looked at it for a while before handing it back:

"I'm going to Wubei, please go ahead and go to the settlement to notify the remaining soldiers."

"Okay." The man took the documents back and trot back to the military jeep.

Shang Jian Yao and others didn't ask much, eating lunch without squinting their eyes or listening.

After restarting the journey, Jiang Baimian looked at the green mountain bike ahead and said thoughtfully:

"The stolen military supplies are probably very important..."
