Embers Ad Infinitum

Seeing that the room was empty again, Jiang Baimian walked towards a wooden chair and said with a smile:

"Our company, just by hearing the name, is researching biotechnology, and the relationship between biology and medicine has always been very close, so we are also relatively strong in the corresponding field."

While she was talking, she had lifted the wooden chair and walked to the bedside of Tian Erhe.

In the process, her gaze seemed to inadvertently swept across Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong, Bai Chen, Li Zhengfei, the radio transceiver and the other side of the bed window.

She originally planned to let Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong return to the jeep position to guard the most valuable property of this "old-tuned team" and the spare batteries and a large amount of food.

But she quickly gave up the idea.

It is better not to separate the members of the "old tune group" in this very likely dark night.

"Anyway, if the car is lost and the things are robbed, the company will make up for it...

"The most important people are Mayor Tian and Li Zhengfei. The most important item is the radio transceiver that keeps in touch with the company. They are here, so they don’t need to separate their hands to go to the jeep...

"What is going to happen, it is not easy to run there, it is easy to be surrounded, it is not so easy to get over the wall...

"Behind this room is the fence, and you can see the fields not far away. At that time, if you can't stick to it, you can just open the window and jump down to break through...

"It's not difficult for people who insist on coming to the company to come to fight guerrilla over there...

"Well, the pistol and the corresponding bullet are all on him..." Jiang Baimian's thoughts turned around, and he had already considered how to deal with the worst case.

She immediately put the chair next to the bed, sat down, and introduced Tian Erhe, Li Zhengfei and the two town guards in the room to the various situations of "Pangu Biology", focusing on the treatment of formal employees and other vassal forces. Circumstances.

Of course, before Shuiwei Town was officially accepted by "Pangu Biology", there are certain things that cannot be said, including the existence of underground buildings and the location of the company's entrance.

Here, Jiang Baimian also deliberately ignored topics such as genetic improvement. She knew that on the dusty soil, many people hated these technologies that they believed to be a serious violation of nature and would bring disasters, but she could not determine whether the opposite Tian Erhe and Li Zhengfei were such people.

Although the name "Pangu Biology" can make everyone think of similar aspects, since the other party did not show it, Jiang Baimian would not be too stupid to take the initiative to provoke sensitive topics.

Tian Erhe's mental state is obviously not as good as what he just said. He will close his eyes and rest for a while or sleep for a while. Li Zhengfei and Bai Chen originally wanted everyone to leave this room and let the mayor have a good rest, but Tian Erhe always woke up again quickly and stopped.

As they stopped chatting, the sky outside the window gradually became gleaming.

Early morning arrived.

Seeing that the most dangerous period of time had passed, Jiang Baimian was secretly relieved.

Throughout the night, she did not rest, just leave the chair from time to time and move her body, but there are arrangements for Shang Jian Yao, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen to sleep in turn to maintain energy.

Jiang Baimian was about to ask the team members to bring their breakfast, when suddenly he heard the radio telegraph making a sound.

"There is a telegram..." Jiang Baimian explained to Tian Erhe Li Zhengfei, and walked over.

In the eyes of everyone's expectations, she quickly translated the content of the text.

She raised her eyebrows and said:

"The company sent people to the entrance of the swamp."

"So fast?" Long Yuehong asked on behalf of everyone.

According to the normal process, the company should only start arranging manpower to prepare drugs now, which would take almost an hour.

If nothing happens on the way and everything goes smoothly, the team sent should be able to arrive in the evening or earlier.

Compared to the expected situation, it is now a full day ahead.

Jiang Baimian thought for a moment:

"It's not uncommon to have a quick march at night.

"Moreover, the road conditions from the company to here are relatively good."

She didn't say that at least half of the journey was within the company's actual control area. Many combat teams of the Ministry of Security had already figured out the situation in that area clearly and would not step into the pit with their eyes closed.

Of course, driving at night is indeed prone to problems. After all, the line of sight will be limited, but sometimes people have no choice, and the environment is definitely not an empty talk.

Based on this, the high-level personnel of the "Pangu Biological" Security Department consciously asked the various combat teams and operation teams to add night marches to training subjects.

This is the difference between a regular army and a wilderness bandit.

"Could it be that there was a team nearby?" Bai Chen saw that Tian Erhe and Li Zhengfei were still surprised, so he put forward his own guess.

Jiang Baimian shook his head:

"I have emphasized bringing doctors, medicines and equipment. There should be no teams going out."

Having said that, she smiled at Tian Erhe and Li Zhengfei:

"Let you guess the approximate distance between the company and here."

The distance a team marches quickly at night.

"That's fine, come early and feel at ease." Tian Erhe gave up the worry just now, and sighed with a smile.

This made him unable to help but cough a few more times, and Bai Chen patted him on the back worriedly.

Jiang Baimian took a look and said directly:

"I'll pick them up. The route into the town is circumstantial. People who come here for the first time will definitely get lost."

"Good." Tian Erhe didn't think there was any problem with this.

Li Zhengfei thought for a while, and said to the "dog" Ding Ce who was guarding in the room:

"Xiao Ce, you go with her."

When he said this, his eyes were solemn and his head was slightly slightly.

Ding Ce understood what the boss meant:

If you find something is wrong on the way, you have to tell the people in the town if you don't want your life.

"Yes, boss!" Ding Ce's blood surged and his chest was straightened out.

He was a little scared, but he thought it was worth it.

Jiang Baimian did not refuse, and said to Long Yuehong:

"You are with me."

Compared to the people who went to pick up the company, it was obviously more dangerous to stay here, so Jiang Baimian let Long Yuehong follow him.

At that time, if the situation in the town changes suddenly, Shang Jianyao, who is good at making friends, and Bai Chen, who is familiar with the environment, have a higher chance of survival.

"Yes, team leader!" Long Yuehong replied louder than Ding Ce.

This is a habit.

When the three of Jiang Baimian left, Bai Chen faced Tian Erhe:

"You should feel at ease now?

"Sleep for a while, they won't be so fast."

Her tone seemed to calm a child.

"How can you really feel at ease without waiting for them to enter the town?" Tian Erhe stubbornly shook his head.

He looked at Bai Chen and coughed twice:

"I wanted to ask you before, why do you always wear this scarf?"

There is a stove in the room and the temperature is not so low.

Bai Chen's expression changed slightly, and then smiled bitterly:

"There is something bad..."

Tian Erhe didn't ask any more, half closed his eyes, as if his energy could no longer be supported, and he needed to slow down.

Upon seeing this, Li Zhengfei turned his attention to Shang Jianyao, as if he wanted to spend the rest of the time in small chats-this may be able to get more information~www.ltnovel.com~Welfare】Follow the public.. number【 Book Friends Base Camp], you can get cash/points for reading books every day!

However, Shang Jianyao made a zipper movement with his fingers in front of his mouth, and he whimpered twice.

"Huh?" Li Zhengfei looked blank.

Bai Chenyin tried to explain with some speculation:

"What he meant was that he couldn't talk easily."

He might be afraid that his brain would twitch, destroying this somewhat sad and solemn atmosphere...Bai Chen filled up the rest of the words in his heart.

Shang Jian Yao nodded his head and said that was the case.

Seeing that his guess was confirmed, Bai Chen looked at Shang Jianyao's eyes softly.

She didn't expect this teammate who had mental problems and escaped to make so much effort and sacrifice silently.

However, Bai Chen felt that Shang Jian Yao's situation seemed to be a bit more serious than before.

Li Zhengfei couldn't understand why Shang Jianyao was inconvenient to speak. He could only think that it was a more tactful way of refusing to disclose more information.

He had to turn to look at Bai Chen, but Bai Chen got busy, cleaned the spittoon, opened the door to ventilate, and cleaned the room.

I don't know how long it took, Tian Erhe woke up. He tilted his head, listened for a while, and asked weakly:

"What's the sound outside?

"come yet?"

Bai Chen walked a few steps to the aisle outside, supported the railing with both hands, and looked at the gate of Shuiwei Town.

No outsiders appeared there yet, only the sounds of "one, two, three, four" and "one, two, three, four" faintly floated.

"The outside voice is'one, two, three, four','one, two, three, four'." At this time, Shang Jianyao imitated what he heard.

Tian Erhe's expression quickly softened, and his wrinkles unfolded:

"It's the children doing morning exercises..." He smiled and said to himself, his mental state seemed to improve.

…………

Outside the swamp, Ding Ce followed Jiang Baimian and Long Yuehong to see the team sent by "Pangu Creatures".

He was deeply shocked by the cars that shone with metal and glass, the soldiers in gray and green uniforms, and the weapons that gave people a new feel.

Jiang Baimian nodded slightly, and praised the person in charge of this matter in his heart:

"Sure enough, the company is still very experienced...

"Knowing that similar receivers must have a glamorous appearance, and a soldier who won't fight without fighting..."

…………

Shuiwei Town, outside Tianerhe room.

Bai Chen didn't know this was the first time he was urged by the mayor to the corridor to see if Jiang Baimian and the others had come back.

Finally, she saw the convoy slowly approaching the town and the familiar gray-green jeep.

"Here! They are here!" Bai Chen turned around and shouted into the room.

Tian Erhe relaxed instantly.

After taking a few breaths, he turned his head to Li Zhengfei and said:

"You arrange the manpower to maintain order.

"When we meet at the meeting, we will call everyone to announce this matter."

Li Zhengfei got up and answered:

"Go right away."

Bai Chen still stayed in the corridor, pressing on the handrails with both hands, and constantly turning back to report the situation to Tian Erhe, like a little excited girl:

"They passed the gate."

"They got out of the car."

"They are lining up and passing through the square.

"Everyone was a little confused, but order was restored soon."

After reporting to this, Bai Chen stopped suddenly.

She felt terribly quiet in the room, with no echo.

Bai Chen turned and looked, only to see Shang Jian Yao standing closer to the door, looking at the bed with a solemn expression, while Tian Erhe had shrunk for some time and changed from sitting down to lying down.

A bad premonition emerged in an instant, Bai Chen's expression changed, and quickly ran in and squatted beside Tian Erhe.

She saw that the mayor's face was blue and black with no gloss.

She tremblingly stretched out her fingers and reached the tip of Tian Erhe's nose.

After ten seconds, she pulled her hand back abruptly and shouted tentatively:

"Mayor!"

This time ~www.ltnovel.com~ there is no more response.

Bai Chen's vision was blurred, his knees lost support and he knelt to the ground.

She grabbed the bedside in a gaffe, shouting as if her voice was mostly blocked:

"grandfather!"

…………

Under the gaze of the townspeople with messy and dirty clothes, Jiang Baimian took the people sent by "Pangu Creatures" through the chaotically built areas of mud houses, brick houses, and tents.

As soon as she reached the flag-raising platform, she suddenly heard a neat and tender voice from the deepest building in Shuiwei Town:

"On the journey of the great road, the world is for the public, selecting talents and abilities, stressing faith and cultivating harmony.

"The old man does not only kiss his relatives, not only children, and his sons, so that the old will have end, the strong will be useful, the young will be strong, the stubborn, widowed, lonely, alone, and the disabled will all have support..."
