Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 76 Threats

Diving squid

Regarding Lehman’s warning, Shang Jianyao was not ashamed, but seriously suggested:

"If you join, there will be more than four of us."

When he said this, he looked back at Jiang Baimian, very eager to try.

Knowing that he was asking whether to "make friends", Jiang Baimian thought for two seconds and shook his head.

This is not necessary yet.

After leaving the area where Lehman and his men lived, the "Old Tune Team" and a group of four were ready to go to the next destination:

The city ruins are located near the lake in the "low building area".

One of Herwig’s confidants, Buzz, lives in this area, and he has been robbed of arms throughout the entire process.

Before leaving the hotel camp, because Shang saw Yao wanted to go to the bathroom, they went back to rooms "05" and "06".

As soon as he opened the door, Jiang Baimian saw a piece of paper fluttering to the ground.

It is slightly larger than the palm of the hand, with a row of gray text written on it:

"Don't be nosy!"

"There is no typo." Shang Jianyao picked up the paper, looking surprised.

"It's not that everyone is anti-intellectual." Jiang Baimian took the piece of paper and looked through it several times in the winter sun.

When Bai Chen and Long Yuehong finished solving their personal problems and walked out of the room, she handed the piece of paper over and asked with a smile:

"Any thoughts?"

"Is it to prevent us from investigating the cause of Hevig's death, or to prevent us from looking for the arms that were robbed?" Long Yuehong followed the method taught by the team leader, and began to analyze step by step. "If it is the latter, it means the group of robbers. It is very likely to be inside the Redstone Set. Otherwise, it would have been withdrawn from other places a long time ago, and only one or two people would be sent over to discuss business. There is no need to threaten us. If it is the former, I think it’s too urgent? What are we? We haven’t found any clues yet. It’s better to threaten us than to warn Han Wanghuo from the police station."

Hey, Shang Jianyao, who came out of the toilet, applauded warmly and expressed his appreciation.

This applause made Long Yuehong a little happy and quite uncomfortable.

"Not bad." Jiang Baimian smiled and praised him, "You are a beginner in analyzing problems."

After speaking, she looked at Bai Chen:

"What's your opinion?"

After washing his face, Bai Chen, who has not yet put on a mask, frowned slightly and said:

"I find it a little strange.

"It's too early... isn't it necessary?"

She meant that she had not yet reached the point where she needed to warn herself and others.

Jiang Baimian smiled:

"indeed.

"There are only four of us, of which there is only one'Intermediate Hunter', and we haven't found any useful clues. Why bother threatening us in a hurry?

"Didn't the arms dealer Lehman also said it? With our'strength', it would be better to give up the mission as soon as possible."

Hey, Shang Jian Yao shook his right and punched his left palm:

"I understand!"

"What do you know?" Jiang Baimian asked angrily and funny.

Shang Jian Yao said solemnly:

"They must have seen through our disguise, knowing that we are the'Save the World Team' sent by the ultimate villain'Pangu Creature'.

"They are afraid of our strength and dare not fight with us recklessly, so they can only give a bit of warning with sternness."

Jiang Baimian let out a long sigh:

"You look at us too high."

She deliberately used honorifics.

Then she casually said:

"Even if the various branches of the Hunter Guild exchange data regularly, it will take some time for the affairs of Weed City to get here.

"Furthermore, the Weed City Branch of the Brotherhood of Shang Jian Yao should still be functioning normally. No outsider knows what we have done."

As a genetically modified person who can induce electrical signals, Jiang Baimian is very sure that there are no bugs in rooms "05" and "06" and the surrounding area.

"The ultimate villain and saving the world can't be connected..." Long Yuehong murmured.

Without giving Shang Jianyao a chance to refute, Jiang Baimian "complained":

"Really, it interrupted my thoughts.

"Well, since we have been warned without the need for threats, I can preliminarily think that this is actually a protection."

"Protection?" Long Yuehong was startled.

Jiang Baimian explained with a smile:

"The detailed description is: Seeing that we are too weak and afraid that we can't bear the consequences of being involved in the whirlpool, so we give us a warning in advance to keep us away from right and wrong.

"Uh, besides this, there are two other possibilities: First, the contradiction has intensified to a certain degree. Any external force will cause the balance to tilt. They have to take some precautions, but from Teresa’s response and her Judging from the choice, this may be very low; second, someone deliberately made such a warning letter in order to blame XX. If this is possible, even if we don’t speak out about being threatened, there will be someone Come to inquire and investigate, when the time comes, the clues will be delivered by themselves."

Long Yuehong was admired for a while, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart:

Hey, I have done genetic modification and it is only 1.75 meters. The brain and the team leader are far behind, and I don’t know how far. Uh, she has done genetic modification. It’s impossible to compare, don’t compare...

"If it is the first possibility, why protect us?" Long Yuehong asked.

Shang Jian Yao, before Jiang Baimian, replied earnestly:

"Because I am 1.5 meters tall and look good..."

"Stop!" Jiang Baimian stopped the reverse singing.

She smiled and said:

"Maybe it's because we didn't pretend when we first entered the Redstone Set. At first glance, we looked like the Greys, no, Greyspeakers."

Long Yuehong looked at the "warning letter" in his hand in amazement, and found that there was only gray text on it, not Honghe language.

He nodded thoughtfully:

"So it's like this..."

…………

The "low building area" in the ruins of the city where the Red Stone Fair is located is composed of three or four-story buildings with yards and walls.

Before the destruction of the old world, there was another name here, but it has been forgotten and no one mentions it anymore.

In the entire Redstone Collection, it is estimated that only DiMarco in the "Ark Below the Earth" or the information left by his family can still be remembered.

According to Teresa's description, the "Old Tune Team" found the ancient tree that was hundreds of years old and had been struck by lightning at least twice.

There is also a three- or four-story building with a yard and fence behind the old tree.

Jiang Baimian got out of the car, walked to the gate, and rang the doorbell.

After nearly a minute, a male voice came from the trunk of the ancient tree that seemed to have long since died:

"Who are you looking for?"

Prior to this, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao had already cast their sights on.

"We are the relic hunters who took over the arms robbery." Sitting in the driving position, Bai Chen, who was facing the ancient tree, replied loudly, "Mrs. Teresa asked us to come."

"Wait a minute." The male voice inside the trunk was silent for a while.

After waiting for another two or three minutes, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao looked at another building with a courtyard and a wall.

The wall there suddenly lifted a plank, revealing a large hole.

Behind the big hole is not a garden, but a deep passage.

The next second, a man crawled out of the big hole.

He wears a metallic black iron mask, his flax hair is messy, and it seems that he hasn't been combed for a long time.

As soon as he stood firm, he saw a grinning monkey mask.

Shang Jian Yao swished and rushed over.

"Stop! Distance is our friend!" The man in the iron mask was startled, and quickly stepped back to the side.

"Can your mask be bulletproof?" Shang Jianyao asked curiously.

"No." The man in the iron mask replied blankly.

"Okay." Shang Jianyao was a little disappointed.

At this time, Jiang Baimian has moved closer:

"You are Buzz."

"Yes." Baz nodded.

"It was you who spoke just now?" Jiang Baimian asked.

"Yes." Buzz wondered if the other party had ear problems.

Jiang Baimian suddenly became interested:

"You dug a lot of tunnels and connected many places nearby?"

"I learned this from the Greyspeakers." Baz was quite proud. "There are tunnels everywhere, and there are exits everywhere. No one can stop me! I can even get around behind the enemy. , Shoot them from places they can't imagine."

"Good way." Jiang Baimian praised, "Just because of the geological structure and soil conditions here, it should be more difficult to dig a tunnel."

"We have the machines from the ‘United Industries’." Baz took the opportunity to ask, "Do you want it? Get a tunnel in the war zone that needs to be dug, and you can change a lot of things."

"First, we have to wait for us to get back that batch of munitions and get the corresponding reward." Jiang Baimian responded with a smile, "Furthermore, in the real war zone, you may encounter ground penetration bombs and thermobaric bombs at any time, hiding in underground fortifications. Not necessarily a good thing."

She stopped chatting and asked seriously:

"Have you seen what the band of bandits look like? Do you know their origins?"

Baz shook his head:

"They all wear masks, headgear and sunglasses."

Having said that, he suddenly sneered:

"This can explain some problems instead~www.ltnovel.com~ If it is a robber from outside, just run away if you **** it, where is such a strict disguise required?

"They wear balaclavas because they don't want others to see what their hair color looks like..."

Shang Jian Yao interrupted and said:

"This can also be achieved by dyeing your hair. I can introduce you to a professional team, which is farther away..."

Jiang Baimian interrupted him:

"It seems you have a suspicious goal."

"It must be those Greyspeakers!" Baz said angrily. "After the incident, I chased the tracks with a few people and found that they had gone to the south, and after leaving the ruins of the city, they went around to the east again!"

After speaking, he probably explained what the lower east means:

The Dimarco family’s "boat below the ground" and the Vigilant church are located in the north of the city ruins; the Red River people are mostly in the lake area to the west; the Greyspeakers are mainly hidden in the buildings in the east area of ​​the city ruins; to the south are mixed races. Site.

——The park corresponding to Hongshiji is located west of the center.

"So..." Jiang Baimian was noncommittal, "In addition to these, what else did you find?"

"Nothing." Baz shook his head again, "Uh... there were nine people who participated in the robbery, their heights were nothing special, there were seven or eight ambushes around..."

After asking some more details, Jiang Baimian simply replied:

"We will go to the Grey Whisperer to investigate."

Saying goodbye to Baz and getting on the jeep, Long Yuehong sighed:

"It seems that the munitions might have been robbed by the Greyspeakers..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Baimian looked ahead and chuckled:

"Strict disguise does not necessarily conceal the characteristics of the Greyspeakers, but the hair color and pupil color of the Honghe people."
