Embers Ad Infinitum

Text Chapter 61: Words

The heavy snow has stopped long ago, but there are still white residues on the roof and roadside, covered in silver.

Jiang Baimian did not go to the business to see Yao trying to pinch a huge snowball, and smiled and said to Lei Yunsong and Lin Feifei:

"Wait for the company to have a good chat."

The previous turmoil was too sudden. They had not had time to obtain the self-assembled radio transceiver, and the task was completed. They had to contact Chen Xufeng, the intelligence officer in charge of the Yecao City affairs, and reported the general situation to the company through him. , And helped Lei Yunsong group apply for basic supplies.

In the end, the company asked Chen Xufeng to prepare two vehicles for Lei Yunsong's team, enough food for more than half a month, and corresponding weapons and ammunition, so that they could return to the underground building as soon as possible to report on their duties and receive psychological evaluation and trauma treatment.

Lei Yunsong, whose eyes didn't seem to be fully opened, pressed the door of the car while responding to Jiang Baimian:

"You must not forget the people who come into contact with the'machine heaven'.

"They must hold a part of the secrets of the destruction of the old world!"

In the previous exchanges, the recovered Lei Yunsong and Lin Feifei explained the reasons for their group's visit to Yecao City and their subsequent encounters:

They found several broken chips originating from intelligent robots in a wilderness homeless settlement to the south.

After repairing, cracking and data restoration, they extracted some useful information from it.

This information tells them that those chips came from the robot guards of "Machinery Heaven"-they were attacked by enemy forces during a certain business transaction and suffered heavy losses. Some of the components were lost as a result.

In addition to the origin, the term "mastermind" appears repeatedly in these messages, giving people a feeling that it has occupied various industries in the "mechanical paradise"-no matter what aspect of life, they cannot escape its control.

In addition, some time points in the message indicate that the "master brain" may have existed and put into operation before the destruction of the old world.

In order to verify these matters and obtain more information, Lei Yunsong's team chose to come to Weed City and start investigations from the local Hunter Guild-they have close cooperation with "Machinery Paradise".

It is obviously impossible for the lowly born wilderness wanderers to be treated equally. In order to make the inquiry smooth, Lei Yunsong deliberately chose the best hotel, showing that he and others are backed by a big force in his words and deeds.

They don't know exactly when they were attracted by the "anti-intellectual" "priest", but they can only be sure that it was the sick man they met after going to North Street and visiting the city lord.

Regarding Lei Yunsong's "request", Jiang Baimian said "um":

"In the end, it depends on the company's arrangements.

"The thread you found is likely to hold you accountable to the end."

Lei Yunsong sighed after hearing the words:

"After we go back, we may not have the opportunity to go to work.

"Our group is likely to be disbanded."

After working on the old tune for so long, they still have a certain feeling and obsession with this matter, so I very much hope that Jiang Baimian's team can take over this line, investigate it, and give them an answer.

Jiang Baimian said with relief:

"It depends on the final evaluation result, the chance is still quite big."

Lei Yunsong glanced at his team members, smiled and said:

"This is actually a good thing.

"We all have a family and a mouth. Every time we go out of the company and come to the surface, we are very nervous, afraid that we will never go back. No, this time I almost disappeared.

"I can take this opportunity to switch to internal work. It's a shame. I don't have to worry about my wife, children, parents and brothers. Anyway, I have been wandering in the dust for many years. I have visited many places and are much better than most of the company's employees. Well, it's time to be content."

When you say that, I can tell you a little bit of reluctance with my toes... Hey, few employees of the company who are used to life on the surface do not miss the outside world, even if it is full of danger... Jiang Baimian slandered a few words, heaps He smiled and waved his hand:

"No matter what the final result is, it is a good thing, at least to go back alive.

"Bon Voyage!"

"See you later!" Lei Yunsong waved their hands, opened the car door, and got in.

After watching their vehicle drive towards South Street, Jiang Baimian breathed out slowly, and said to the businessman beside him:

"How many times have you tasted it, why are you still looking forward to it?"

Shang Jian Yao was biting the huge snowball he pinched out again.

"I'm just thirsty," he answered vaguely.

Jiang Baimian gave a "tsk" and walked towards the bulletproof cross-country vehicle that Xu Liyan had sent:

"We should do things too."

While talking, she turned her head and waved to Bai Chen and Long Yuehong behind the second-floor window, indicating that they were busy.

After all, the Eugene slave hunting team is still outside the city, and the task of hunting down the "kidnapping criminals" is still hanging up.

The latest news that Bai Chen heard was that Eugene’s group had decided on a new leader after a brief merger and inherited the slave arrest certificate.

The new boss obviously doesn't want to get Eugene back. He just wants to catch a "true murderer" and show his loyalty to convince the crowd.

Throwing away the huge snowball in his hand, Shang Jian Yao entered the driver's seat and started the car.

——Because Long Yuehong did not open the window, Shang Jianyao gave up the idea of ​​throwing a snowball at him, which would break the glass.

"There are two things next." Jiang Baimian in the co-pilot position leaned back, took out Chen Xufeng's "Response", and said simply, "First, let Xu Liyan show that we are people of Pangu Biology. Can establish a mutually beneficial relationship; secondly, personally interrogate the fake "priest" and grasp as much of the "anti-intellectual religion" as possible."

This is a new task assigned to them by the company.

Because Shang Jian Yao was obsessed with playing with snow in the past two or three days, Jiang Baimian was worried that he hadn't listened carefully, so he repeated it again.

"It's a mutually beneficial relationship now." Shang Jian Yaoyi and Xu Liyan were brothers of life and death.

Jiang Baimian sneered:

"How long can this last?

"The company also saw that there was a gap between Xu Liyan and the'First City', and only then thought about whether it could win together.

"If you can succeed, even if you have developed from'fraternal love' to'cut robe and righteousness', we won't have to worry about not being able to get out of Yecao City."

The relationship of interest is the easiest and most stable one to change.

Shang Jian Yao thought for a while and then asked:

"What is a mutually beneficial relationship?"

"It means that everyone is not together in terms of status, but if you have money to make money together, you have blessings to share together, there are difficulties, um, depending on the situation, you will give some support, in short, can easily bury a nail and make'First City' uncomfortable, directors I must be very satisfied." Jiang Baimian explained casually.

"Why are they like kids?" Shang Jianyao commented.

Jiang Baimian rolled his eyes.

…………

As the life and death of the city lord, Shang Jianyao met Xu Liyan without any effort.

Next to him was still Jingnian, a mechanical monk covered in a robe.

As soon as he saw Jing Nian, Shang Jian Yao shook his body gently, with a peculiar rhythm, and then was stared back by Jiang Baimian.

"City Lord Xu, I want to talk to you about something." Jiang Baimian indicated with his eyes that this is not suitable for being heard by Zen Master Jingnian.

Xu Liyan smiled and shook his head:

"Based on my relationship with Jian Yao, just say anything.

"Well, don't worry about the Zen master, we have a confidentiality agreement, and the monks have always been trustworthy."

Jiang Baimian didn't insist either, pulled the chair opposite the desk and sat down.

She smiled slightly:

"City Lord Xu, have you considered enhancing your own strength?"

Hearing these words, Shang Jianyao glanced sideways at the group leader and closed his mouth tightly.

Xu Liyan's expression suddenly became serious:

"What do you say?"

Jiang Baimian's gaze swept from Xu Liyan to the mechanical monk Jing Nian, and then took it back:

"Like this attack, once the enemy breaks through the blockade of bodyguards and restricts the activities of Zen Master Jingnian, you are like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. You can rub it as you want.

"I know that you can hire a lot of bodyguards, including the guild's "senior hunter". Normally, it is difficult for someone to assassinate you. But if you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of it. If your strength can be enhanced, then At the critical moment, it may be a winner.

"You should be very clear that there are too many weapons and human beings that are beyond the norm in this world."

For Xu Liyan, the "priest" incident is the most dangerous situation he has ever experienced since his birth. Whenever he thinks of his trembling and isolation and helplessness, he is afraid and uneasy, so he has nightmares for several days. ~www.ltnovel.com~ So what should I do? "Xu Liyan tried hard to make himself less eager.

Jiang Baimian smiled:

"On the dusty soil, there are many ways to improve yourself, but very few go beyond the conventional:

"One is to become an awakened person, but it really depends on fate. It is not trying hard, or being powerful and powerful. You can succeed; the second is to upload consciousness and become an'immortal'. This is indeed true for mankind in later years. It’s not a small temptation, but you are still young, and there are still many things you don’t enjoy; the third is mechanical transformation. With the relationship between you and the "primary city", it’s not that difficult, but you may not get the best equipment, and , The image is not so good..."

After talking a lot, Jiang Baimian changed his words:

"You see, my biological prosthesis has no abnormalities in appearance, but it has the ability to surpass humans."

A silver arc jumped between her fingers.

Xu Liyan was silent for a moment and said:

"You are'Pangu Creatures'?"

"Yes." Jiang Baimian responded with a smile, "Compared with the less mature genetic modification, the biological prosthetic technology is already quite reliable."

Xu Liyan watched her quietly for ten seconds, and finally asked:

"What do you want?"

Jiang Baimian laughed:

"We want very little.

"You are still alive, you still control the Weed City, and you still maintain the freedom of Weed City. For us, that is enough.

"If we can still buy some items here that are not available in normal trade, then we will be very grateful.

"City Lord Xu, putting the weight on the side of the balance can't maintain balance."

Xu Liyan thought for a moment, but didn't answer directly:

"I will think about it again."
