"About one hundred people, this is Wang Beicheng's action brigade."

That was the team sent by "Pangaea" to investigate the abnormality here.

Sure enough, they soon saw armored vehicles and other things, and Wang Beicheng, the captain of the 23rd Brigade.

Wang Beicheng was also surprised to meet Jiang Baimian and others again. He straightened the gray and black beret on his head, glanced at the armored vehicle that did not belong to the company behind the jeep, and said to Jiang Baimian:

"Didn't you go to Qifeng Town?

"Why did you come here again and get an armored vehicle?"

What's more, it seems to have entered the newly discovered ruins of the city earlier than they did.

"Haha, accident, accident." Jiang Baimian laughed twice.

She immediately became serious, and roughly explained how she and others were charmed by Qiao Chu and entered the ruins of the city from the trail.

This includes information about the "Urban Wisdom Network Control Center", the mysterious laboratory, the "Advanced Heartless Man", Nightmare Horse, Xiao Chong, Du Heng, Galoran, and the final big bang.

Here, Jiang Baimian only concealed the knowledge of the awakened person provided by Du Heng, and where Shang Jianyao's ability played a role, and cleverly connected the reason why they got rid of Qiao Chu's charm with the "advanced unintentional person" and the boy Xiao Chong Together.

From a certain point of view, this is actually true.

As Wang Beicheng listened, his expression became serious, and finally he said sincerely:

"Thank you so much, if we didn't have this information, we would have rushed in, and we don't know how many people would have died!

"Moreover, the 'advanced mindless beings' and abnormal creatures there are definitely more than the ones you encountered. It is still very dangerous to rely on our action team alone, even if we have a certain understanding in advance.

"I will immediately send the information back and ask for reinforcements.

"Next, we should only build a stronghold on the edge of the city for the time being..."

Jiang Baimian waved his hand:

"What you do is none of our business."

Wang Beicheng glanced at the armored vehicle again, rubbed his hands together, hesitated and said with a smile:

"Can you support the brother brigade?"

For them, one more armored vehicle and one more heavy machine gun will have a considerable combat effectiveness.

Jiang Baimian smiled:

"no problem.

"But we have a lot of things in the armored vehicle, and the jeep alone will definitely not be able to take them away. You have to help us transport them back to the company. I have made a list.

"Also, the heavy machine gun on that armored vehicle is also our trophy, so it should be considered a contribution."

For them, it is more convenient for them to drive on the dusty soil.

Wang Beicheng took a breath like a toothache:

"it is good."

After bidding farewell to Wang Beicheng's team, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen returned to the jeep.

Jiang Baimian said thoughtfully while driving:

"Since we met Wang Beicheng and the others, it means that there should be no danger on this road, and we won't run into Qiao Chu again.

"Shang Jian Yao, you can remove your 'reasoning clown' effect."

Shang Jianyao was playing with a pair of black sunglasses, sometimes putting them on and sometimes taking them off.

Hearing the group leader's order, he smiled and said:

"There are many couples in the company who come in free love."

Jiang Baimian froze for a moment, then patted the jeep's horn:

"That's right, why do I think that what I assign is true love?"

Seeing Yao, Shang turned his head and said to Bai Chen:

"Human beings are also trustworthy and dependable.

"After these few days, do you think we can also protect your back?"

Bai Chen was stunned, and his eyes flickered uncontrollably.

At this time, Jiang Baimian interrupted:

"Why does this sound so familiar?

"You plagiarized what I said!"

"It's called a quote." Shang Jianyao replied solemnly.

Listening to their quarrel, Bai Chen's mouth turned up unconsciously.

Shang Jianyao looked at the confused Long Yuehong again, smiled and said:

"Biological organ transplantation, nerve reconstruction, artificial womb."

"..." Long Yuehong's facial muscles twitched a few times, resisting the urge to beat Shang Jianyao violently.

Can't beat it after all.

Before he recalled, he found that he had been influenced by the "reasoning clown" without knowing it, and suddenly blurted out a little fearfully:

"Did you mislead me with 'reasoning clown'?"

Seeing that Yaotou didn't return, Shang said directly:

"You do not deserve."

"..." Long Yuehong didn't know whether to be lucky or sad.

Jiang Baimian finally couldn't stand it anymore, and said to Shang Jianyao:

"You sleep for a while, and it will be your turn to drive later.

"Huh, I finally got rid of the mess here.

"Next, we can't delay any longer, the goal is Qifeng Town!"

Upon hearing this, Shang Jianyao pinched his temples, put on his sunglasses, leaned against the back of the chair, and closed his eyes.

……

In the depths of the "Hall of Stars", at the top of the silver steps, in front of the gray-white stone door.

Shang Jianyao glanced at the three grooves above, put one hand in the pocket, stretched out the other, and pressed on the door.

In the groove, white light rose up and gathered into three groups of illusory stars.

Among them, the white light representing "reasoning clown" is much brighter than the other two groups.

In the next second, the white light displaying the words "hypocritical person" brightened rapidly, and soon became equivalent to "reasoning clown".

After a brief period of solidification, the heavy stone door trembled slightly and slowly moved back.

As the gap in the door grew wider, Shang Jianyao could see the scene inside clearly.

It was an unreal "sea" that could not be seen, and the shimmering light slid gently on the water surface.

"Sea of ​​Origin".

……

After Jiang Baimian drove the jeep out of the depths of the swamp, he woke up Shang Jianyao:

"It's your turn.

"Next, let us have a smooth journey!"

Shang Jianyao opened his eyes, took off his sunglasses, walked around to the driver's seat neatly, and exchanged positions with the team leader.

After he sat down, he saw the endless gray and black wilderness in front of him, with few clouds in the sky and bright blue.

"The weather is really nice." Shang Jianyao nodded, first put on sunglasses, and then took out the small speaker from the tactical backpack.

Seeing Jiang Baimian looking over, he moved his body and said with a smile:

"How can you drive without music?"

When Bai Chen and Long Yuehong looked over one after another, Shang Jianyao rang the speaker.

A hoarse cry followed:

"Arise, hungry and cold slaves...

"Arise, sufferer all over the world..."

In the passionate and generous singing, Shang Jianyao waved his hands:

"set off!"

Before the words were finished, he kicked the accelerator to let the Jeep run on the wilderness, and drove into the distance.

(End of the first part)

Summary of the first part

It's time for the long-awaited summary of each volume. Well, probably only I am looking forward to it.

In fact, this time is quite embarrassing. I will write a few more chapters until December 12st, so that I can merge the testimonials on the shelves and save trouble.

Of course, this is also beneficial. It will be on the shelves on January 1st, and the first part will be completed on December 1st. How dare I ask for leave?

So, everything has pros and cons.

Speaking of the first book itself, because the mystery itself is written very heavily, if Long Night continues this tone, it will not only appear repetitive, but also have no buffer and adjustment. In addition, in my previous novels, except for Xiaomeng, the rest are in character and Internally, they all have relatively similarities, but there are differences in certain aspects and some details.

Therefore, I want to challenge a protagonist who is completely different from before and break through my own limitations.

Based on these two points, as I said before, I intend to write a psychopathic protagonist. On the one hand, this is a new experience for me. On the other hand, it can also bring joy to the dark background and dilute the depth of the underwater An undercurrent of sadness.

I'm not a mental patient, laughing, I can't really imitate the thinking of mental illness, which is the biggest obstacle before my real creation. After repeated thinking, I thought of a way, that is to give up most of the mental activities and use Actions and words to shape characters.

After adopting this method, I was pleasantly surprised to find that this is very different from the previous creations. I am no longer a person who presets what kind of character this is, what his preferences are, what are his little shortcomings, what is his Where is the arc of the character, but give his background, his past experience, and then, when he encounters different things, start from the background, experience, and character status, and launch different reactions.

As I wrote this, I realized that Shang Jianyao turned out to be such a person.

For friends who read novels, this may not make much sense, because no matter what method is used, in the final analysis, it is all about shaping characters, and there is no distinction between high and low. But for writers, this new feeling is very special. wonderful.

This is not to praise my own good writing. This does not exist. There must be various problems when trying a technique for the first time, but it is very rewarding to develop and test out a little bit.

This way of writing is not without shortcomings and disadvantages, at least I have discovered several now:

One is that without psychological activities, the most powerful weapon to create a sense of substitution is missing. This is quite troublesome for an online novel, and without a sense of substitution, many plots cannot spread tension.

The second is that the initial shaping of the character will take a long time. I was probably in Shuiwei Town, when Shang Jianyao separated the beef for the little girl a little bit, and I felt that the character's feet really stood on the ground.

The third is that it is impossible to rely on psychological activities to quickly label a new character, deepen the impression, and shape the image.

Combined with the fact that I desperately adopted a writing method similar to travel notes and road movies in the first part, it was difficult to advance the whole story with too much tension, and I failed to quickly set up some supporting roles, so that there were obviously many ups and downs , but the plot seems slow.

This way of writing also has its own advantages:

When there is a lack of psychological activities, character creation relies more on interaction, and once there are more interactions, the characters that often appear will naturally become vivid and full.

In the first part, it is mainly the members of the old tune group.

I can boast a little bit about this, but well, there are still too few plots at present, and the arc of the characters must not be brought out, I just hope that I can do it well in the future.

After talking about the characters, let's talk about the overall structure of the first part.

Because I want to present such a big environment, the reflection of the old world, the darkness of the new world, and the absurdity of their combination, first make a big picture, and set the atmosphere and tone, so I used similar travel notes and highways. The writing method of the film does not set explosive and climax content, but focuses on experience.

In addition, the feeling of upgrading was downplayed, which caused the plot tension of the entire first part to be very weak, after all, two powerful weapons were missing.

By the way, the title of the first part is "Prelude", and the epigraph is:

"At the moment of death, the solemn first notes of an unknown song sound. Life is but a series of preludes to this song."

When many friends saw this, they thought they would die, but it was not. What I wrote was about a "civilized" life.

In the last two chapters, one song is one of the series of preludes before the death of the old era, which is the nostalgia and mourning for the past civilization, and the other song is the prelude to the new world, which is the sincere expectation for it.

In the long night of civilization, there are still many embers of fire.
