Embers Ad Infinitum

Perceiving the change in Zhang Qubing's gaze, recalling Xue Shiyue's saying that he was a fanatical admirer of the "Salvation Army", Hong Guangming put the stack of bills into his pocket and muttered:

"I've been fighting for a lifetime just because I want my children and grandchildren to live better?"

He then waved his hand:

"Okay, go in and give you a pass."

This wave is the right hand of the non-robotic arm.

Seeing Hong Guangming limping back to the building of the "Wubei Management Committee", Jiang Baimian looked to Shang Jianyao again.

Shang Jianyao's expression was stern, seeming a little confused and a little lost.

"Let's go, haven't you already been mentally prepared?" Jiang Baimian urged him.

Shang Jian Yao sighed:

"You do not understand."

Seeing Jiang Baimian squinting his eyes slightly, he quickly added:

"Reality belongs to reality, ideal is ideal. When there is a gap between the two, emotions are always affected. For example, Xiao Hong..."

"Stop!" Jiang Baimian and Long Yuehong said at the same time, interrupting Shang Jian Yao's metaphor that might be very magical.

Ding Ling didn't understand their ways of getting along well, so he could only watch quietly, not to interrupt.

Soon, the "old tune group" returned to Hong Guangming's office.

Hong Guangming immersed himself in issuing a pass, and said:

"Take out all the bills on your body and I'll check it."

"Does this have to be checked?" Jiang Baimian was quite puzzled.

For polite and good-looking women, Hong Guangming is quite tolerant:

"Routine inspections are mainly for fear that you will bring a large number of fake tickets into the country."

Ding Ling explained to the side:

"Our bills are all pressed with plastic, and ordinary people can't forge them at all. They have no source of materials, and they can't get the corresponding machines.

"But the big forces like the'First City' can do it, so one of the duties of our border settlements and local immigration and security inspection offices is to intercept fake foreign bills."

This way...In the old world, you can find small factories or even family workshops to make those small plastic cards. Well, this is the convenience brought by the highly mature industrial system at that time. Today's dust is just getting oil. It's all a difficult thing... Jiang Baimian suddenly sighed.

This is the difference between the old and the new era.

Ding Ling turned to Hong Guangming and said:

"Grandpa Hong, I only exchanged all the bills on them with them yesterday."

"Then there is no problem." Hong Guangming's steel arm popped out a key, opened the mechanical lock of the lower drawer, and took out the official seal and ink pad from the inside.

He stamped a big bright red seal on the pass.

After Jiang Baimian received the pass, he found that there were two more sentences in addition to the regular content:

"This pass does not include smart robots.

"When four people enter the settlement, they cannot carry heavy weapons, high-tech equipment, or crates."

"Thank you, Director Hong." Jiang Baimian finally thanked him sincerely.

Although there are many restrictions, with such a pass, the journey after the "Old Tune Team" will be much easier, especially in terms of supplementary supplies, which will be more convenient, allowing them to head straight to the ice sheet without any distractions.

After leaving the "Wubei Management Committee", the "Old Tune Team" drove a jeep and followed Ding Ling's green mountain bike to a place called "Lime Hotel" on the edge of the city.

Said to be a big hotel, it was actually converted from an old world warehouse. The floor space is not small and the parking is very convenient, but the highest is only the third floor.

"This is for you outsiders." After Ding Ling helped the "Old Tune Team" check in, he followed them to one of the rooms and said with a smile, "You are not eligible for other places, even if you have a pass, it won't work. ."

Inside and outside belong to two systems... Jiang Baimian nodded if he wanted to:

"I have troubled you these two days.

"How many bills did you give to Director Hong? We will replenish you."

"No need." Ding Ling shook his head and smiled, "This is all the difference you made before, and it will be reimbursed a little later."

Hearing the next half sentence, Long Yuehong and others suddenly felt familiar.

Ding Ling glanced around, took the initiative to close the door, and said seriously:

"You said earlier that you stole some information from the'First City.' What is it about? Is it possible to sell it to us?"

She didn't believe it at first, but after seeing three military exoskeleton devices and two bionic smart armors, she felt that Xue Shiyue's team might not be bragging.

It deserves to be a team with a total value of more than one hundred thousand O'Lei!

Jiang Baimian and the team members each looked at each other and smiled at Ding Ling:

"The information does not need to be concealed in particular, and the relevant personnel even asked us to spread it widely.

"That's it. We tried to get in touch with Olei's descendants in the First City, do you know Olei? The archon of the'First City' used to be the emperor for a while."

"We have it in the textbook." Ding Ling nodded and said solemnly, "You continue."

Jiang Baimian said with an "um":

"Ore currently has two descendants left, one is his granddaughter Avia and the other is his grandson Marcus.

"The two people together hold certain secrets left by Ole. They are closely guarded by the'First City', which is equivalent to guarding them.

"There is no need to say more about the specific process. In short, we have spent a lot of effort and finally contacted the descendants of these two Aurei and obtained corresponding information from them.

"This includes a secret laboratory in the wasteland No. 13 ruins. Ole will use his guesses about the cause of the destruction of the old world and his understanding of the'new world', and how to deal with the data of the'source brain' in the'machine paradise'. Hidden inside, including Avia has a mysterious mobile phone that Ole once used, through which you can dial a bunch of garbled codes to connect to unknown and terrifying existences, including the secret laboratory's opening password is'Messiah'...

"We later sneaked into the remains of Wasteland No. 13 and found the secret laboratory. We opened the door with a password, but there was nothing inside. All the materials left by Ole were gone.

"All this stems from a new artificial intelligence'future' he created in his later years. It can manipulate the electromagnetic in the laboratory through the'new world' node, control those computers, and transfer the information left by Ole. The laboratory has become a trap..."

Jiang Baimian knew what he could say and what he could not say, the main thing was to publicize what Olei left behind.

Hearing this, Ding Ling was stunned.

Her mental journey just now was like this:

"Why do you spread that information widely?

"It has something to do with the former emperor of'First City'... That piece of information is indeed more important.

"This team is really strong, able to bypass the tight protection of the'First City' and get in touch with key personnel.

"Although I don't understand too much, it sounds pretty awesome.

"Wait, what is she talking about, what is the node of the ‘new world’, what artificial intelligence manipulates electromagnetic..."

Ding Ling was at a loss as he went forward, feeling that the other party was speaking in a language he didn't understand.

When Jiang Baimian finished speaking, she subconsciously swallowed her saliva and said:

"I, I will report these things up.

"If, if it is of great value, we may compensate you for some materials or bills."

After expressing a friendly attitude, Ding Ling settled down and asked:

"How is that secret laboratory now?"

Although she didn't understand what happened at the time, just like listening to the heavenly scriptures, her experience told her that the secret laboratory was one of the key points, and she didn't need to understand those terms, just grasp the key points.

Jiang Baimian hesitated and said:

"Destroyed."

The honest Shang Jian Yao quickly added:

"Don't get me wrong, we didn't destroy it. We had to trigger the self-destructing device in the laboratory in order to escape the predicament set by the artificial intelligence ‘future’ at that time."

This sounds more terrifying... Ding Ling nodded:

"I understand. I will report this matter before I get off work, and there should be a result tomorrow."

After speaking, she raised her hand and waved:

"See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow!" Shang Jianyao is always so enthusiastic~www.readwn.com~ Ding Ling thought for a while and exhorted:

"If you encounter any situation, don't rush to do it yourself, especially if you use those equipment, just report directly to the'Ubei Public Security Management Committee'. There is a phone in the hotel room with the corresponding number written on it."

"No problem." Jiang Baimian agreed sincerely.

Anyway, the strongest of the "Old Tune Team" is not the equipment, nor the Gnawa, but the Shang Jian Yao who can quietly influence people.

Sending away Ding Ling, because it was still early, Jiang Baimian did not ask what to eat at night, but walked to the window, looked outside, and observed the surrounding environment.

Although this is only the third floor, the surrounding buildings are generally not high and the view is relatively good.

During the observation of several people, Bai Chen noticed sharply that one after another camouflage green armored vehicles and tanks were driving on a certain highway in the distance, accompanied by soldiers with live ammunition and black uniforms. The atmosphere seemed a bit nervous.
