Embers Ad Infinitum

Text Chapter 69 Mission

The clerks wearing tiger masks didn't speak much, and they spoke very fast. They seemed to want to end the introduction in the shortest possible time, so that no one would remember the characteristics of the voice.

"After confirming the task, I will take the badge to pick it up?" Jiang Baimian asked with a smile.

She has already had a deeper impression of the customs of Hongshiji, and she is not irritated by being neglected.

"Yes." The clerk in the tiger mask nodded his head.

Just as Jiang Baimian and the others walked a few steps and looked at the big screen together, Gaudí wearing a cloth mask asked:

"Can I go now?"

"Yes." Jiang Baimian responded in a relaxed tone.

Gaudí thought for a while and emphasized a few words:

"After you leave the Redstone Set, you can't tell anyone the location of the underground entrance, you can only give a rough range.

"Everyone who can enter here must have found a townsman from the Red Stone Collection in the ruins outside and let him lead the way."

Shang Jianyao asked curiously:

"What if no one leads the way and finds here again?"

"The guards will stop you, interrogate you from where you know the location of the underground entrance, and then blacklist the people and forces that leaked the information to you." Gaudi seems to have said this many times, without any stumbling. Bar, "If you are really lucky, I will let you go back by yourself and find a townsman from Redstone Set."

"There is a sense of ritual." Shang Jianyao exclaimed.

Jiang Baimian agrees with this, because she can't see that this behavior can reduce the danger from outside.

This is closer to a religious ceremony.

At this point, she also understood why Shang Jian Yao's life and death brother, Fei Lin, the leader of the "Sangzi" business group, would not give specific location information.

For Shang Jianyao’s admiration, Gaudí nodded like You Rong and said:

"This can please Zhisui's You Gu."

He admitted frankly that this was a ritual.

At this time, Shang Jianyao suddenly raised a question:

"If everyone in the town has Vier's level of hiding and no outsiders can find it, wouldn't there be no new hunters and smugglers in your Redstone Set that can arrive?

"In this way, the vitality of the Redstone Set will gradually weaken and will eventually be abandoned."

I remember the name quite clearly... I suspect you want to hide and seek with that Vierbi... Jiang Baimian couldn't help but slander.

Gaudí was silent for a few seconds, as if he hadn't thought about it at all.

After a while, he said:

"Not everyone can reach Vierle's level.

"Furthermore, if everyone has forgotten the Red Stone Collection, it means that we are hiding well and will be rewarded by'You Gu'.

"We have opened up farmland in the surrounding hidden places, and there are a lot of fish in the lake. A momentary forgetting will not let us starve to death,"

Jiang Baimian laughed:

"But you will no longer have oil and other industrial products to supplement, do you want to go back to the old world farming era?

"People who have enjoyed the afterglow of civilization cannot adapt."

"After that,'Yougu' will lead us into a new world, where there is no longer any danger, so we don't need to be so vigilant." Gaudí responded very firmly.

Jiang Baimian couldn't persuade Gaudi, nor did he want to persuade, so he waved his hand and said:

"You can leave now."

"Thank you." Gaudi, wearing a cloth mask, looked at them, and step by step withdrew from the Hunter Guild.

When the distance between the two sides became large enough, he turned around abruptly and ran into the safe passage on the side.

"What do you think?" Jiang Baimian asked, withdrawing his gaze.

Shang Jian Yao immediately said:

"It's too rigid.

"I only care about my head, I just want to guard against us, but don't consider whether there is danger behind him.

"I knew that I would throw a banana peel behind him. He would definitely step on it and fall down with a stab, remembering this lesson from then on."

Jiang Baimian laughed blankly:

"First, you have to have a banana."

This season, given the climate of the Nu Lake region, it is impossible for this kind of fruit to exist.

Instead of discouraging Shang Jian Yao, she nodded approvingly:

"Although Gaudí has ​​probably observed the environment and is not worried about stepping on things that shouldn't be stepped when walking backwards, this direction of thinking is quite valuable."

With that said, she looked at Long Yuehong:

"Do you have any idea?"

Long Yuehong answered carefully:

"Their philosophy sounds reasonable at first, but the more you understand it, the more extreme it becomes."

"Any good thing will develop in a bad direction as soon as it is polarized." Jiang Baimian nodded, "This is one of the reasons why many religions can be spread on the dust. They put some very reasonable things in the old world. The packaging became what I wanted, and a lot of private goods were added."

After commenting on Long Yuehong's thoughts, Jiang Baimian looked at Bai Chen again, smiling:

"You can talk too."

"I think their philosophy is a bit similar to some of the old world philosophies you have taught us, eh...a small country and few people?" Bai Chen said thoughtfully.

After the run-in in Yecao City, on the way to the Redstone Collection, the three members of the "Old Tune Team" were more relaxed than before. Jiang Baimian took the opportunity to tell the team members some knowledge of the old world.

"It's true, but it's also extreme." Jiang Baimian looked around with a smile, "Remember, individual human beings are very small. They cooperate with each other and combine to make civilizations."

Papa Papa, Shang Jian Yao's applause arrived as scheduled.

Jiang Baimian didn't bother to look at him:

"Okay, look for a mission worth taking."

She knew very well that unless Shang Jianyao was asked to make "friends", half of the materials they exchanged for Xu Liyan's bullet-proof cross-country would not be able to buy military exoskeleton devices, even if they were old models.

Therefore, her plan is to collect another batch of hard currency in the Redstone Junction Point Guild.

As the team leader, in order to enhance the strength and survivability of each team member, she racked her brains.

As a result, the "old tune group" was divided into two waves:

Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao stayed in place, watching the scrolling tasks displayed on the big screen, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong went to the surrounding tables to check the corresponding paper records.

"Actually, we can have your good brother Xu Liyan support one. Didn't he say that after this incident, he will equip his guards and city defense forces with more units?" Jiang Baimian said deliberately.

This time, the military exoskeleton device was lost on South Street, and it was almost useless.

The only good thing is that those wild wanderers will not use it.

Shang Jian Yao shook his head:

"Brothers clearly settle accounts."

"I'm relieved." Jiang Baimian smiled.

"Although I am harder than you, my moral bottom line is not low." Shang Jianyao replied.

"Ah? What are you talking about?" Jiang Baimian touched his ear, not wanting to continue this topic.

She knew that Shang Jianyao was referring to the riots in Yecao City, but she failed to quickly make up her mind to kill the man who killed the owner of the “old noodle restaurant” in order not to starve to death.

Shang Jianyao glanced at Jiang Baimian's left arm and stopped in due course.

While talking, Jiang Baimian found a very interesting task:

"Investigation of no heart disease in Hongshiji and surrounding areas."

"The reward is: be responsible for the basic guarantee during the mission, and then give enough food for half a month, choose the type, save yourself, hehe, this is not rigorous, if you encounter something like you, the cost may be doubled. !" Jiang Baimian said amusedly as he read the content of the task.

Shang Jianyao responded seriously:

"I'm just worried, he won't be able to get the food I chose."

"Let me see who released it... "Fire Eye"? Is this all the code-named task release?" Jiang Baimian has a further understanding of the style of Redstone.

Of course, this must have been reviewed by the Association, and the credibility is still guaranteed.

At this moment, Long Yuehong took a record and walked back with Bai Chen.

"Group leader, this task is not bad." He handed the paper in his hand to Jiang Baimian.

Jiang Baimian took it curiously, and took a quick glance:

"Task: Assist Hevig to retrieve the robbed arms.

"Description: Hevig, the owner of Gunfire, had a batch of munitions capable of arming hundreds of people and was robbed in the lakeside area. According to reports, there were nearly ten robbers.

"Remuneration: one-fifth of the arms.

"Task level: C, 100 credits.

"Hint: There is a certain danger, please try to team up.

"Requirements for task personnel: hunters above formal level.

"Poster: Hervig."

"One-fifth of that batch of munitions? This is not a small amount." Jiang Baimian's eyes shone slightly.

"And the number is quite appropriate." Long Yuehong added happily.

He feels that with his team's strength, one hit three, or even one hit four, is not a problem.

Shang Jianyao immediately "analyzed":

"Perhaps during the robbery, there were a hundred people ambushing around."

Long Yuehong was no longer the same as before, and instantly frustrated his face, he asked amusedly:

"How can there be a hundred people ambush and only seven or eight people do it?"

It takes at least forty or fifty to be normal, and it conforms to the normal logic of mankind!

"What if their leader is mentally ill like me?" Shang Jianyao was confident.

Jiang Baimian interrupted him and said thoughtfully:

"There is a saying in the old world to describe this situation, what is it called, uh, one core is difficult, eight cores are onlookers.

"Furthermore, there will be many people escorting that batch of arms. Those bandits are either very powerful, or there must be more than seven or eight."

Without waiting for Long Yuehong to speak, she smiled and said:

"But well, UU reading www.uukanshu.com can also take over. It's not that they don't do reconnaissance. If there are really too many people on the opposite side, we can still invite other relic hunters to participate."

She wasn't worried about not being able to pick it up, because Bai Chen was an "intermediate hunter."

After some exchanges, they took on the task under the name of "Qianbai Team", got a picture of Hevig, and knew where his shop was located-the third floor of the underground building, close to the C1 safe passage.

There is no doubt that the "gunfire" shop has no guns and no one.

"It seems that we have to find the publisher of this task first." Jiang Baimian reluctantly raised his right hand and glanced at the photo.

It was a chubby man, aged between thirty and forty, with dark green eyes and a shaved head.

"No one here." Shang Jianyao immediately concluded.

Jiang Baimian glanced at him and smiled slightly:

"Then why are you still staying here instead of looking for it next to you?"

"It must be handled according to the process and cannot be completely dependent on ability." Shang Jianyao replied in a clear-cut manner.

"Not bad." Jiang Baimian praised sincerely.

While talking, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong had already dispersed, one looked up at the ventilation duct, and the other carefully opened the cabinet.

"There is something wrong there." A few seconds later, Bai Chen pointed to the upper side.

At the exit fence of the ventilation duct, a little black clothing squeezed out.

Jiang Baimian's expression suddenly became solemn.

Since Shang Jianyao didn't sense human consciousness, and she didn't find any human electrical signals, it shows one thing:

The person hiding in the ventilation duct is dead.

Dead for a while.
