Embers Ad Infinitum

The jeep drove along the road in the cliff village towards the five-story building that served as the government office.

As far as Jiang Baimian knows, this is actually a scenic spot in the old world, and the land that can be planted is quite limited, but because of its excellent location, after the destruction of the old world, it has become a place where many wild wanderers live together. Cliff Village.

In the beginning, the villagers had to cross bridges every day, go to farm fields in the mountains, and go hunting in the surrounding areas. Not to mention, it was quite dangerous. Then use one hair less and one hair, lack of supplement.

But even so, they often lack food and clothing.

Later, Cliff Village encountered the "Pangu creatures" and became an affiliated force. It received a lot of aid for construction and quickly developed to a level where it could be self-sufficient.

Of course, this kind of self-sufficiency is only relative to other settlements. Once it is separated from the "Pangu creatures", the cliff village is nothing.

The simplest point is that the high-yield and improved seeds they are currently planting need to be continuously provided by "Pangu", otherwise the production of the second and third generation seeds will drop sharply, and the daily chewing of the villagers will no longer be able to be satisfied. .

In order to be able to eat enough, in order to obtain blessings, Cliff Village is loyal to "Pangu Creatures", and every employee of "Pangu Creatures" can enjoy the VIP treatment of a superior person when they come here.

When the jeep walked through the roads in the village, all the villagers they encountered stopped to greet them, and smiled at Shang Jianyao and others who opened the window and looked outside.

It didn't take long for the "old tune group" to arrive at the village hall.

In front of this five-story building with an ancient shape, there is a small square, and a dozen or 20 children are playing games such as picking stones and jumping on the grid.

Seeing Jiang Baimian in gray camouflage and others getting out of the car, several children ran over.

They were not as restrained as adults, and they asked in a babble:

"Do you have any candy?"

"Any chocolate?"

"Is there anything delicious?"

After the question, they emphasized in unison:

"We can buy it with money!"

As they spoke, the children took out gold and silver coins and crumpled banknotes from their pockets.

Jiang Baimian glanced at it and found that it all belonged to a certain country in the old world.

She shook her head and smiled:

"We still want to buy something from you."

The "Old Tune Team" came to Cliff Village to investigate the whereabouts of the "Pangu Creatures" project team, and to replenish supplies for entering the ice sheet.

The children were suddenly a little lost, and returned to their companions shyly.

Bai Chen looked back at them and said with a slight sigh:

"It is indeed richer than Shuiwei Town."

Under normal circumstances, a piece of old world banknote waste paper is either used to wipe the buttocks or thrown to the children to play with. It is not worth making a fuss, but those old world coins are all solid metal, small or small. But mosquito meat is also meat, which can be exchanged for other materials when accumulated.

For many wilderness wanderers and relic hunters, even a coin is a valuable thing.

In the cliff village, children on the side of the road can take out a few coins casually, which shows the difference between this place and other human settlements.

"They attached to the company earlier, and all aspects have developed." Jiang Baimian also felt a little emotional.

That's great...If the company is okay, it will be even better...Long Yuehong was touched.

Bai Chen nodded:

"Can Shuiwei Town become like this in the future?"

Jiang Baimian thought for a moment and said:

"Maybe not as good as here, but definitely better than before."

As she walked to the office, she explained casually:

"The biggest reason why Cliff Village can live so well is that they have a favorable location.

"The vast majority of the company's teams going to the icefield will choose to obtain the last supplies here. These supplies are not free, but fair trade.

"You must want to ask, how can there be so many materials in Cliff Village? It is impossible to rely on them alone. Every spring, summer, and autumn, the company will have multiple teams coming over and selling the corresponding materials to them, which forms a cycle. ."

To put it simply, this is equivalent to a supply warehouse of the company, and the people in Cliff Village are equivalent to the employees guarding the warehouse. Are there corresponding benefits? Long Yuehong uses her own experience to understand.

"Is that so..." Shang Jianyao showed an expression of "I fully understand".

Jiang Baimian glanced at Genava, who was wearing a burqa, making it impossible to see that he was a robot, and added:

"Since the supplies of Da Cliff Village have been enriched, many caravans and relic hunter teams that travel to and from the icefield will also choose to trade here and get supplies."

"The commercial center of this area?" Bai Chen nodded with understanding, combining his experience in Weed City, Primordial City and the knowledge provided by old world entertainment materials.

Jiang Baimian said "um":

"But except for the company's employees, no one else can cross the bridge or enter the village, so they can only trade in an abandoned town opposite.

"Spring has just started recently, and no one has come yet."

While speaking, several members of the "Old Tune Group" went up the steps and arrived at the entrance of the office.

The village chief already knew that such a group of "Pangu creatures" were coming, and waited there in person.

He was in his fifties. Although his hair was gray, he was very energetic, and his face was quite rosy, and his wrinkles were not so conspicuous.

"Are you going to the icefield?" The village chief spoke with a clear accent.

He was a little surprised, because the number of people in this team was too small.

Over the years, the teams of "Panga Creatures" he has seen going to the icefield are all a mighty gang, with at least four or five cars.

"Yes." Jiang Baimian replied with a smile, "Go to the icefield for a mission."

"Why don't you go again in summer, why is the task so urgent?" The village chief knew very well how cold the ice field in spring was.

He just asked casually, and did not expect Jiang Baimian and others to answer, after all, this definitely involves confidentiality regulations.

Jiang Baimian pointed to the office and said:

"Let's go in and talk."

At this time, Shang Jianyao interjected angrily:

"You don't know her anymore?"

The village chief led the "Old Tune Team" for two steps, and when they arrived at a brightly lit place, they carefully looked at Jiang Baimian for a while:

"Remember, I have seen such a handsome and tall girl before."

"That's right." Shang Jianyao showed a relieved expression.

Jiang Baimian forcibly pressed the embarrassment that was surging, and said with a smile:

"It's not too strange to go to the ice field in the spring. I just heard that a scientific research team from the company passed by last week."

The village chief stepped into the hall of the office and found an enclosed sofa area:

"That's different. You want that weather to do scientific research. You don't do scientific research at first glance."

"Who said that? We have also done scientific research!" Shang Jianyao said that you look down on us.

Jiang Baimian's heart moved, but he didn't stop this guy from going on.

Shang Jianyao added triumphantly:

"As volunteers, we have participated in scientific research projects."

The village chief muttered:

"What kind of participation is a volunteer? Many people in our village have been volunteers."

Jiang Baimian asked:

"is it a lot?"

"A lot." The village chief replied with a bit of sigh, "But this is all a few years ago. For more supplies and better treatment, many people in the village agreed to be volunteers, thinking about it. Even if you die, you can still leave something for the family, hey, there are very few now, everyone can eat enough and have their own livelihood."

"Is that so..." Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao said in unison.

The former asked again casually:

"A lot of volunteers in the village~www.readwn.com~ come back?"

"About half of it." The village chief was not too sure. "Some are fine, some are sick, some have more, and some have less."

Jiang Baimian gave an "um" and did not continue the topic.

After chatting for a while, the village chief pointed upstairs and said:

"It's getting late. How about you live on the second floor? Everyone from the company lives in the office, and dinner will be brought to you later."

"Okay." Jiang Baimian had no objection.

Shang Jianyao asked curiously:

"Is it free?"

"You don't need accommodation, you have to pay for meals." The village chief smiled, "But for the people in the company, we will invite you for the first meal."

"What is the first meal? We leave tomorrow morning and come back in the evening, can we count as the first meal again..." Before Shang Jianyao could finish his words, he was forcibly dragged into the stairs.

Entering the room, Long Yuehong looked around and said:

"This condition is better than the hotel we stayed at in Redstone."

It is almost comparable to the "Salvation Army" foreign hotels, clean, tidy, more spacious, and the furniture such as beds does not have a stale smell.

Bai Chen didn't care about this aspect, looked at the door and said:

"The volunteers who can be released should not be involved in important secrets."

What she means is that the living volunteers in the village may not know much.

Jiang Baimian laughed:

"It's good that it won't arouse the company's vigilance, and a lot of key information is hidden in ordinary details."
