long night fire

Maybe one day, a certain embers will start a prairie fire again, illuminating the world.This is closer to the meaning of Liszt's "Prelude", that man and civilization are mortal, but we will make the prelude as long as possible, as grand as possible, and as brilliant as possible.

If in the process of reading the first part, when you hear the singing of "Recalling the Past", you will have nostalgia for the old world, and the word civilization will flash in your mind, then I think what I want to express is Already out, enough is enough.

Having said that, let’s talk about the problems in the first part:

One is that it is too tiring to read in the second half. This is not a problem of words, but a problem of rhythm.Maybe it’s because I’m used to playing games. I always get a bunch of branch lines and then make the main line. So when I set it up like this at first, I didn’t think there was any problem at all. But after I started writing, I realized that once I sent it to Qifeng Town to send chips If the task is too long, it will make readers look forward to it. If you always deviate from the task and delay the task for too long, the reader will feel irritable, feel that the plot is too long, and read tired.

Playing games by yourself is really different from designing "games" for others, lol.

The second is about the city ruins. I hope that by describing the scenes and things we are used to, I hope to enhance the atmosphere of the wasteland and pave the way for the nostalgia and mourning for the old world. Therefore, many places are very detailed, which is nothing in itself. The problem, but I overlooked one point. At that time, the old tune group was not free and controlled by Qiao Chu. Many friends would be eager to get rid of this as soon as possible, which contradicted the peace of mind needed to read a detailed description.This is indeed a problem that I did not design well and dealt with it.

The first part is mainly to outline the outline, while trying some new writing methods, that's about it.

As usual, I will ask for leave to rest and organize the outline. However, because the second part will be very short, with only about twenty chapters, it is a relatively important turning point, so I will only ask for a day and a half of leave. At noon the day after tomorrow, that is, 31 noon on the 12st The update will resume at half past one.

You don't have to worry about the length being too short. It is estimated that the third, fourth, fifth, and seventh parts of the novel are all long, about [-] chapters.

The second title is "Unfinished"

In fact, there is still a lot to say, but let’s leave it to the testimonials, otherwise there would be so much to say.

Anyway thank you all.

Part [-] not finished

Chapter 1 Home

"There has never been a savior, nor a fairy emperor.

"To create the happiness of mankind, it is all up to us..."

Amid the hoarse singing, the jeep drove wildly through the mountains and forests.

"I'm finally going back to the company..." Long Yuehong looked at the road with no end in sight, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Although there are blue sky, white clouds, sun, trees, all kinds of scenery and an unusually open environment on the gray soil, he still misses the stable and quiet life inside the company after being out for a long time.

For knowledgeable people, the name "Pangaea" is not unfamiliar, but almost no one knows where the headquarters of this company is located, which gives "Pangaaa" a layer of mystery ——Many relic hunters only know that there are several powerful bandit groups occupying the area where the "Old Tune Group" is currently located, and they dare not approach at all.

Jiang Baimian, who was sitting in the co-driver's seat, heard Long Yuehong's emotion, touched his cochlea, tilted his head slightly and said with a smile:

"I thought you didn't want to go back to the company at all. Those girls in Qifeng Town are so enthusiastic."

Hearing this sentence, Long Yuehong blushed suddenly:

"Nothing, team leader, don't talk nonsense!"

Qifeng Town is located in the forest area of ​​the Black Marsh wilderness. It is remote and difficult to find. The "Old Tune Team" can't even drive a jeep in.

At that time, they followed the guards down the mountain and walked for about a quarter of an hour on the path before they suddenly saw a large piece of farmland.

The geographical advantages ensure the safety of Qifeng Town, but at the same time, it also brings about the shortage of water resources.

This is not to say that there is no water on the mountain, but that the water looks dirty, as if a lot of soil has melted into it. Even if it is used for irrigation, the townspeople in Qifeng Town are not at ease, fearing that it will be polluted and unclean.

Before attaching to the "Pangeon", they either collected rainwater, or went around to the other side of the mountain to carry water, which was very difficult.

When the season is bad and the mountain roads are difficult, they can only bite the bullet and drink the precipitated dirty water. The average life expectancy is far less than that of Shuiwei Town.

Therefore, the townspeople in Qifeng Town were happy and grateful from the bottom of their hearts when they saw the "Old Tune Team" send new water purification chips and repair the simple waterworks.

For this reason, they took out the treasured food to entertain the distinguished guests.

At that time, many women in Qifeng Town surrounded Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong with great enthusiasm, just like those men circling around Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen.

Jiang Baimian smiled and said:

"Hey, I'm just hard of hearing, but it doesn't mean my eyes are bad.

"In those few days, you were accompanied by girls wherever you went. I think you are very happy."

"Cough..." Long Yuehong coughed dryly, not knowing how to respond.

He was really happy at the time, after all, since he was a child, this was the first time he was so popular with the opposite sex.

Jiang Baimian didn't "comprehend" the real intention of Long Yuehong's cough at all, so he hurriedly asked:

"What? Didn't you have a relationship beyond friendship with anyone?

"It shouldn't be..."

Shang Jianyao, who was driving the car with music playing, interjected:

"He was terrified."

Long Yuehong originally wanted to refute, but sadly found that it was true.

Those girls were too enthusiastic, which frightened him and made him afraid to do anything.

Of course, this is also because he heard the team leader tell the real purpose of those girls:

Married into the paradise-like "Pangaean creature".

If not, then try to conceive and add excellent offspring to the town.

In addition, Long Yuehong also had to admit that a small part of the reason he was scared was that the girls looked dirty. After all, before the water purification chips were delivered, Qifeng Town was short of clean water.

"It's okay if you're scared." Jiang Baimian gave a "tsk" and turned to ask Shang Jianyao, "What about you? Why didn't those girls pester you after that? Did you use your ability on them?"

Shang Jianyao's body swayed slightly with the rhythm of the music:

"No.

"I just seriously discussed with them the current human situation, the pollution, the disease, the famine, the aberrations and the 'mindless', and the fate each of us should shoulder.

"They were very touched and inspired, and they all expressed that they would go back and think about it.

"Well, it will take some time to digest, I hope they can figure it out as soon as possible."

Jiang Baimian closed his mouth tightly, afraid that he would laugh out loud.

"I still underestimated you." She finally praised with a "serious face".

Sitting in the back row, Bai Chen listened to the three of them chatting, and didn't join in, but her expression was very gentle, she listened attentively, and occasionally smiled.

The Jeep drove for a few more minutes, Jiang Baimian patted the armrest box and said:

"Stop, I'll switch to the next one, or else, when we get to the door and pass the inspection, we still have to switch."

Shang Jian Yao reluctantly parked the car and sat in the passenger seat.

Jiang Baimian then turned off the speaker and laughed:

"go home!"

Then, she stepped on the accelerator and went straight to the entrance of the underground building of "Pangaea".

During this process, scenes of the previous experience flashed uncontrollably in Long Yuehong's mind:

The battle against black marsh iron snakes and military exoskeleton devices; the children's reading in Shuiwei Town; the ruins of the iron and steel factory met the clean law; the town of Black Rat was slaughtered; Qiao Chu's powerful charm; "higher heartless people" and abnormal creatures; " After the light is turned on, the "unintentional people" who look like normal people; the sad singing echoing in the dead city; the enthusiastic Qifeng Town; the wilderness survival training...

In just one month, he felt like he had lived for more than ten years.

Soon, the four members of the "Old Tune Group" saw the entrance of the underground building of "Pangaea".

At this time, Long Yuehong's heart finally fell back to its original position, and she felt extremely at ease and extremely stable.

It's like a fallen leaf finally drifting to the roots of a tree.

"I want to come back after going out for a long time, and want to go out after staying for a long time after coming back. Man, what a contradictory creature." Jiang Baimian sighed while driving.

The vehicle moved on and approached the gate.

……

After passing a series of inspections, the four members of the "Old Tune Group" returned to Room 647 on the 14th floor.

"Give me all the things you brought back from outside." Jiang Baimian looked around and said, "These must pass the company's review before deciding where to go."

She smiled and added two sentences:

"Don't worry, those who will be handed over to the company in the end will definitely have contribution points and subsidies, and you will not be treated badly.

"As for many small things, the company probably doesn't like them and will return them to you.

"Haha, I don't know if Wang Beicheng's action team has returned, but we have an armored vehicle with them."

Hearing the words "Wang Beicheng", Bai Chen said thoughtfully:

"I don't know if they have found useful clues about the various anomalies in the ruins of the city."

Jiang Baimian let out a "hmm":

"When we meet later, I will ask, I hope the level of confidentiality is not very high.

"Hey, I don't think it's very likely that they will find any clues. The laboratory was blown up, and there may not even be any remains of the roaring creature inside..."

While she was speaking, Shang Jianyao had already taken out all the harvests he had brought with him and put them on the table.

They are:

A pair of black sunglasses, a mechanical watch with a black dial, a transparent glass ball inlaid with yellow petals bought from Shuiwei Town, paper from the ruins of a steel factory hospital, a voice recorder from a little girl in Black Rat Town, and a black pen from Wu Shoushi. North 7 pistols and twelve coins, hunter badges for exoskeleton armored bandits...

- The rest of the catch is on the jeep.

Jiang Baimian glanced at it, pointed to the piece of paper and said:

"what is this?"

"The paper picked up from the outpatient department of the hospital in the ruins of the iron and steel factory." Shang Jianyao replied.

"Why didn't you say it before?" Jiang Baimian asked subconsciously.

Shang Jianyao is confident:

"forget."

"...That's right, I met Jingfa at that time." Jiang Baimian withdrew his gaze, "It's just right, hand it over to the higher-ups, and let them study whether there is any useful information."

After finishing this matter, Jiang Baimian greeted everyone to sit down and said with a smile:

"I know you're all tired, but you still have to do a replay of the whole field practice."

As she said that, she glanced at Bai Chen:

"What do you have to say?"

Bai Chen thought for a while and said:

"What should be said, the previous few replays have been finished."

"This time it's mainly about the whole." Jiang Baimian proposed the direction of the discussion.

Bai Chen was silent for a few seconds and said:

"There were too many surprises.

"One field trip has as many dangers as I have encountered in the previous three years."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shang Jian Yao nodded solemnly and said:

"It's mainly because of bad luck..."

Hearing this, Long Yuehong's expression suddenly collapsed.

"Stop talking." Jiang Baimian interrupted Shang Jianyao's "statement", and said to Long Yuehong with a smile, "I don't believe in fate, luck, these things are not scientific at all!"

Long Yuehong breathed out silently, and was about to say something casually, but saw the team leader looking at herself with a smile:

"However, your name is really not very good, why don't you go back and change it? How about Long Aihong? Your parents must be very satisfied."

"..." Long Yuehong responded with a dull expression, "Team leader, don't you believe this?"

"On dusty soil, sometimes, it's better to believe what's there than to believe what's not." Jiang Baimian laughed as he said, "Haha, I'm just kidding. Well... I will tell you in this mission report Mark it as qualified, and at the same time write that it is not suitable for the life of the old transfer team, and it is recommended to make a replacement. In this way, even if you are transferred to another position, there will be no stains."

Long Yuehong was moved when she heard it:

"thanks, thanks."

Jiang Baimian shook his head with a smile and said:

"You don't need to say thank you so early, I only have the right to make suggestions, and whether I can transfer you away in the end depends on the thoughts of the higher-ups.

"Unless I write that you and I are incompatible, that you are completely unqualified and have a problem with your thinking, then I can guarantee that you will be transferred, but in that case, your file will be stained."
