long night fire

"Heh, on the gray soil, the probability of encountering similar things is not low."

She didn't say any more about this aspect, but thought for a while and said:

"In this way, we go to the next hill or the top of the hill and set off a signal flare to lure the relic hunters and wilderness wanderers in that direction.

"As for the company, Black Rat Town is the only partner in this area. As long as it doesn't exceed the corresponding range, no matter where the emergency flare is fired, it will only lead them to think of Black Rat Town immediately."

While talking, Jiang Baimian looked at Long Yuehong wearing the exoskeleton device:

"Look around for larger stones, move them back, and block the entrance of the cave. By the way, the side of the backup passage must also be blocked. This will prevent wild beasts from smelling the smell and destroying the traces. It can make it impossible for the relic hunters and wilderness wanderers who have searched here to directly discover the existence of the cave. Well, with the equipment they have, even if they find it, it is quite difficult to open the blocked cave, and the company's People are very professional.”

Long Yuehong easily understood the team leader's words, and began to look for a large rock that was far beyond the limit of the human body and could only be moved by an exoskeleton device.

After bringing all the corpses outside back to Black Rat Town, Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and others dealt with the blood stains while watching Long Yuehong, who was covered with iron black metal skeletons, transport stones, first blocked the backup exit, and then sealed the cave entrance .

"Okay, let's go back to the jeep and set off flares elsewhere." Jiang Baimian stared at the pile of camouflaged stones for a few seconds, then turned and left.

When she was about to get in the car, she stopped, turned around and said:

"After setting off the signal flares, we will find a hidden place nearby to camp.

"Afterwards, until the company's people arrive, we have to stay here to prevent accidents and avoid damage to the site. In addition, we just happened to submit the information on the city ruins and the monks' order."

Regarding this arrangement, Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen all had no objection, and believed that it was an inevitable development.

Compared with the small task of delivering the filter chip of the water purification device, which can be delayed for a few days or even half a month, the matter here is obviously more important.

"It will probably take two or three days." Jiang Baimian smiled slightly, "It's just right, it can exercise your ability to survive in the wild."

Before Shangjian Yao and Long Yuehong could respond, she went around to the driver's seat, opened the door, and sat in.

Ten minutes later, Shang Jianyao, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong stood quietly on the top of a hill further to the southwest.

Jiang Baimian did not immediately fire the emergency flare carried by the "Old Tune Team" with the grenade gun, but waited for a while until the clouds drifted past, covering the sun and dimming the light, before pulling the trigger.

With a bang, a dazzling red light exploded in the sky, like a bloodthirsty flower in full bloom.

Chapter 51 Team

After setting off the emergency flare, Shang Jian Yao and the others drove the jeep back to the hill where Black Rat Town was located, and camped in a hidden place on the mountainside—this way, they could watch the grove condescendingly , to see if there are relic hunters and wilderness wanderers in the past, approaching the entrance of the cave.

After Long Yuehong, who had removed the exoskeleton device, finished the tent, she asked loudly with difficulty hiding her doubts:

"Leader, I have something I can't understand."

"What?" Jiang Baimian was happy to answer questions for novices.

Long Yuehong frowned and said:

"Why did those people have to attack Black Rat Town? After they just discovered the ruins of an old world city, they have an easier way to obtain more resources. There is no need to attack Black Rat Town, which has relatively sufficient weapons. You Didn’t you say that? Now is a special environment where relic hunters and wilderness wanderers can live in peace and even form an alliance. After all, everyone hopes to have more helpers to deal with the hidden dangers in the ruins.”

Jiang Baimian nodded first, then smiled and said:

"Good question.

"However, although the main premise is correct, the specific situation still needs to be analyzed in detail. I have read a book in the old world before, which rigidly applies existing principles, concepts, and situations, without analyzing the changes, developments, and conditions of things. Behavior with a corresponding specificity is said to commit the error of 'dogmatism'.

"Specifically, there are two main differences when it comes to the matter of Black Rat Town:

"First, as we have analyzed just now, the raider team must either have at least 30 people, or have seven or eight core, elite members with a large number of vassals. Regardless of the possibility, they are absolutely In terms of strength, coupled with the weapon configuration and ammunition situation that can be seen on the scene, they can be completely distinguished from the ordinary team of relic hunters and wilderness wanderers.

"Secondly, Black Rat Town, as a subhuman settlement, will definitely not explore it when a large number of humans flock to the newly discovered ruins of the city. At most, it is more about collecting information from the outside, and it is impossible to become the cannon fodder that the attacker team wanted.

"Under such circumstances, if the raider team is confident that they can eliminate the residents of Black Rat Town with little or no loss and get quite a few resources, then they have every reason to create such a tragedy.

"In this way, even if the ruins of the city are too dangerous and the raider team dare not approach, they still have enough gains to not come in vain."

Seeing Long Yuehong nodding frequently, Jiang Baimian added:

"Moreover, there are many additional possibilities. For example, the assailant team is full of hatred for all the subhumans due to past encounters. They would rather suffer losses than kill them. For example, they are because of Yuelu Station. There was a strange roar coming from the north, so they came here. They didn’t know that there was a newly discovered ruins of an old world city. For example, because of its location close to the area north of Yuelu Station, Heishu Town was the first to notice the anomaly. Someone was sent to investigate and found something that made the attacker team willing to take risks."

Long Yuehong's head was dizzy, but she had to admit that the team leader was right.

Under the premise that all aspects of the situation have not been investigated clearly, there are indeed too many possibilities.

Jiang Baimian didn't explain anymore, looked around, thought for a few seconds and said:

"For the next few days, we will work in teams of two and take turns.

"The people in the camp are responsible for guarding the jeep and monitoring the cave area, while the people who go out investigate the vicinity for signs of murder or other clues.

"Well, this time, I will be on the team with Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen will be on the team with Shang Jianyao."

"Why?" Long Yuehong blurted out.

Shang Jian Yao smiled:

"Because you are weak.

"Isn't that obvious?"

"..." Long Yuehong seemed to be punched by someone and unable to fight back, her whole body became a little listless.

Indeed, the reason for the rearrangement is not hard to see:

Shang Jianyao showed the ability and enough calmness of an awakened person, coupled with the physique, energy, skill and talent of a genetically improved person, in the "Old Tune Group", the strength can already be ranked between the second and third—nearly At a distance, he is undoubtedly stronger than Bai Chen. After a certain range, Bai Chen, who is good at sniping and experienced, is still a little stronger than him.

In this way, Jiang Baimian, the strongest in the group, and Long Yuehong, the weakest, can not only ensure the survival of the latter more effectively, but also make the strength of the two teams more even.

Hearing Shang Jianyao's ridicule, Jiang Baimian glanced at him, then shook his head helplessly and slightly.

At this time, Bai Chen, who was in charge of guarding the surrounding area, interjected:

"Leader, it's actually not necessary. I won't be using the jeep for the past few days. The solar charging board can charge the backup battery. Don't worry about the exoskeleton device's power consumption too fast, and it won't be used at critical moments."

"That's right." Jiang Baimian smiled and said to Long Yuehong, "You continue to be on the team with Bai Chen, and remember to wear the exoskeleton device when you go out, hehe, with this operation, you will become the strongest in the group , man, the most important thing is indeed the equipment, I remember an ancient text that said: A gentleman is not born differently, good and false are more than things."

Long Yuehong's spirit recovered quickly, and she felt that what the team leader said was very reasonable.

Shang Jianyao cares more about another point:

"Why haven't I learned this ancient prose?"

Bai Chen hadn't even heard of it.

Jiang Baimian thought about it for a while and said:

"Extracurricular readings, extracurricular readings."

Thinking that Jiang Baimian said that he has a biologist father, and that this is at least a D9 employee who is only one step away from the management, and the treatment he can get far exceeds his own, Long Yuehong is relieved immediately, and Shang Jianyao no longer has any question.

Immediately, Jiang Baimian looked up at the sky and determined the position of the sun:

"It's still early, Bai Chen, Long Yuehong, you guys stay in the camp and monitor the area of ​​Black Rat Town. Shang Jianyao and I went out to search for a while."

"Yes, team leader!" Long Yuehong and Bai Chen replied loudly at the same time.

Without delay, Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian left the hiding place and walked towards the bottom of the hill.

As before, they each carried two pistols, and then, one carried an assault rifle and the other a grenade gun.

After leaving the hill where Black Rat Town is located, Shang Jianyao suddenly said after arriving at the densely vegetated hilly area:

"Team leader, why do we have to wait for people from the company to come instead of taking action ourselves to track down the group of attackers?"

Jiang Baimian slowed down, turned his body half sideways, and said quite directly:

"For your safety."

"We have an exoskeleton device with enough firepower to deal with that attacker team without too much danger." Shang Jianyao said with a serious expression.

Jiang Baimian looked into his eyes and responded calmly:

"I know, you are angry."

She paused and let out a quick breath:

"I have that too.

"But in battle, bullets don't have eyes, and because you are handsome and a novice, they won't be tolerant of you and avoid you. On the contrary, they prefer such people.

"Besides, how are you sure that the raider team doesn't have the ability to deal with military exoskeleton devices? They can all get thermobaric bombs, and I wouldn't be surprised if they have some other powerful equipment."

"We can track and reconnaissance first, and then consider whether to attack after confirming the situation. If nothing can be done, we can withdraw and wait for the company's people." Shang Jianyao still did not give up.

Jiang Baimian turned around, walked forward and said:

"Don't put tracking and reconnaissance so simply.

"In the Ministry of Security, the employee responsible for reconnaissance must be one of the best people in the corresponding team.

"If you and Long Yuehong have enough experience, then I really want to give it a try, but now, can you guarantee that you won't be discovered during reconnaissance, and won't detonate a battle on the spot?

"In a mature team, it's not that everyone can't make mistakes, but when someone makes a mistake, other members know how to make up for it.

"When Bai Chen and I made a mistake, and you and Long Yuehong can make up for it quickly, our 'Old Tune Group' can try something similar."

Having said that, Jiang Baimian glanced at Shang Jianyao who was catching up quickly:

"Didn't you still attack Long Yuehong just now, wanting to damage his self-confidence, fail the assessment, and withdraw from the 'Old Tune Group'?

"Now you're not worried about tracking down the assailant and putting him in danger?

"Ah, I understand. What you think is that when the time comes, you will wear the exoskeleton device, rush into the raider team, and make a big kill, so that Long Yuehong can only watch."

While talking, Jiang Baimian laughed:

"Aren't you going to save all mankind? How can you take such a big risk at this time? If you die on the spot, who will take on that sacred mission?"

"...Team leader, don't talk about being greedy for life and fearing death so grandiosely." Shang Jianyao was almost caught in it.

Then, he said seriously:

"There will be successors."

"Uh... I don't know if you are joking." Jiang Baimian turned and said, "I have to be responsible for you, you and Long Yuehong are not married yet, and you have not given birth to a child. If you die like this, too It's not worth it, hehe, and it's not good for the company."

"Then do you have children? Don't you often take risks?" Shang Jian Yao asked hurriedly.

Jiang Baimian glared at this guy:

"No.

"At the time of unified marriage, I was lying in the hospital, and I could die at any moment. Later, I survived by being a volunteer and undergoing genetic modification. Luckily.

"In the future, because the situation of genetic modification is still unclear, and there are no hidden dangers, further observation is needed, and various experiments are waiting for more convincing data, such as genetic stability, so we have been Not involved in the marriage."

Jiang Baimian frowned suddenly:

"Why am I talking to you about this? Can our situation be the same? Most of the time, I take risks as risks, and I still have a lot of confidence."

She didn't want to continue this topic, so she diverged:

"You are because..."

She pointed to her head:

"That's why you gave up the unified marriage?"

Shang Jian Yao answered frankly:

"Although I do have problems with that..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Baimian asked back with a smile:

"You know it yourself?"

Shang Jian Yao ignored her and continued:

"But a large part of the usual abnormal behavior is actually intentional."

"Why?" Jiang Baimian asked.

Shang Jianyao's eyes flickered, and he turned his head to the distance:

"I don't want kids and I don't want a woman to care about."

Chapter 52 Waiting for a Rabbit

Jiang Baimian instinctively made an "ah" mouth shape, but quickly closed it without making a sound.

She turned her gaze forward again, turned around a bush smoothly, and then smiled casually:

"I always feel that I may have a hidden talent, which is to make people feel close, to feel at ease around me, and to be willing to express some of the distress that is accumulated in my heart."
