Embers Ad Infinitum

As the Jeep was in the deep night, following the track illuminated by the yellowish car lights, driving towards the southeast in the city full of abandoned buildings, Long Yuehong slowly raised her heart involuntarily.

Although he is no longer a newcomer to the dust, this kind of going directly to the "frontline" is still the first experience.

This is different from the riot in Yecao City, which can barely be called the last regular battle.

Just as Long Yuehong quietly took a deep breath and calmed his inner tension, Shang Jianyao held the steering wheel in one hand and took out the small speaker with a blue background and a black surface from the tactical backpack with the other.

After he pressed a few times, a passionate melody echoed in the jeep.

This time the music didn't mix with human voices, but Long Yuehong was a little bit enthusiastic, as if she had become a lonely hero, about to defeat a hundred.

"What is this piece of music called?" he asked curiously, turning his head.

Compared with just now, he was obviously calmer.

"I don't know, pure music." Shang Jianyao swayed his body and smiled and replied, "You can ask it to go out to the song."

Feeling the enthusiasm and excitement brought by the music, Long Yuehong watched the earth-yellow all-terrain vehicle moving forward steadily in the ruins of collapsed buildings and damaged roads everywhere, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

"The group leader asked us to drive around in the Redstone Market before. It's really useful..."

Although in such a short period of time, they could not clearly grasp the condition of each road. After all, the scale of the ruins of the city is not small, but they are quite clear about the location of buildings and common roads in the main area.

Coupled with the map provided by the alerter Song He, even if it is midnight at the moment, they can get to their destination relatively easily.

Hearing Long Yuehong's emotion, Shang Jianyao glanced sideways at him, and said in doubt:

"I thought you should understand the importance of familiarity with the environment when you were in Wild Grass City."

"It was mainly Bai Chen leading the way that time. I don't know it deeply." Long Yuehong explained quite honestly.

Shang Jianyao expressed his understanding and seriously proposed:

"Hide and seek is the best way to get acquainted with the environment. I will take you to the Mass of the Vigilant Sect next time."

Do you want to participate? Long Yuehong didn't utter the whisper in her heart.

He stopped chatting and tried to adjust his state.

After an unknown period of time, Jiang Baimian gave the order through the walkie-talkie:

"Turn off the lights, slow down, and turn on the stereo."

They had already arrived at the Al Supermarket and the Sixth Day Shopping Centre, but they did not hear the gunshots and cannons one after another.

Shang Jianyao immediately rolled down the car window, adjusted the content of the small speaker, and set the volume to the maximum.

Soon, a high-pitched male voice came out from the jeep that seemed to have melted into the darkness:

"We are the relic hunter squad, and Song He, the alertee, has asked him to send the arms!"

"We are the relic hunter squad, and Song He, the alertee, has asked him to send the arms!"

Because the sound was too loud, Long Yuehong's ears in the passenger seat were hummed, and these words echoed in his mind.

He opened his mouth and subconsciously wanted to say something, but the words he uttered were drowned out by sound waves.

In the khaki all-terrain vehicle ahead, the expression of Bai Chen in the driver's position became a little weird.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Baimian asked loudly, aware of her changes.

She closed all the car windows manually, reducing the "pollution" of Shang Jian Yao's voice to the extent that it does not affect the conversation.

Bai Chen took a breath and said as if he should laugh or cry:

"When I was wandering in the dust, I often drove a car and went to different settlements to exchange items.

"Sometimes, in order to save trouble, I will use a big speaker to keep shouting what I want."

While observing the surroundings, Jiang Baimian asked curiously:

"such as?"

Bai Chen was silent for a few seconds, then looked ahead and said:

"Rice, flour, canned food changer knives, pistols, bullet shells and various metal objects."

Jiang Baimian sneered:

"Aunt Nan and the others at the door of the'removed pistols, rifles, and submachine guns' were what you thought of them?"

Bai Chen pursed his lip and said:

"Every wanderer who has had a similar experience will say a few words."

Without waiting for Jiang Baimian's response, she said in a deep voice:

"Group leader, we are almost at the destination, pay attention to your surroundings."

"Oh, I'm angry..." Jiang Baimian "murmured" in a relaxed state.

"Not angry." Bai Chen quickly replied, looking ahead.

"That's embarrassing?" Jiang Baimian asked with a smile.

Bai Chen stopped talking.

Jiang Baimian will accept it when he sees it. While sensing the electrical signal, he constantly looks at the buildings and ruins on both sides of the road by the moonlight outside.

In less than a minute, she picked up the intercom and said:

"You can turn off the speakers and keep a sufficient distance from us."

Every muscle of her tightened slightly, ready to deal with accidents at any time.

After dozens of seconds, two figures came out on a collapsed building in the front side.

With their assault rifles, they followed the cleared road down to the all-terrain vehicle that stopped actively.

In the surrounding darkness, I don't know how many guns were aimed at this side.

The two figures were wearing animal masks and hoods, making it hard to tell whether they were from the Red River or the Greyspeakers.

After looking at it for a while, the woman wearing a bull mask said in gray:

"Are you the relic hunters who took on the mission of Hevig?"

"Yeah, we retrieved Hevig's arms and wanted to sell our own part to the town guard. I don't know where Captain Han is?" Jiang Baimian explained with a smile without being disturbed by the gunpoint.

"Recovered it?" The woman in the bull mask was a little surprised.

Jiang Baimian said with an "um":

"The Song warning person can testify."

The woman wearing the bull mask was silent for a few seconds, picked up the walkie-talkie, and reported the incident to Han Wanghuo.

It didn't take long for the sheriff to come here on his own initiative.

He is dressed in black without a mask.

Han Wanghuo, who had checked Hevig's munitions and the supplies of the "Old Tune Team", had a rifle on his back and two "Union 202" inserted in his back. He was not long-winded and asked directly:

"What do you want to exchange?"

"The military exoskeleton device of the town guard." Jiang Baimian, wearing a delicate monk mask, replied calmly, "One, you can wait until this war is over before delivering it."

Seeing Han Wanghuo frowned, she added with a smile:

"Ankhbas has already confessed in the church and is willing to make more contributions to the Redstone Set against the next person.

"When the situation stabilizes, you should be able to get a new military exoskeleton device through him. This may take a year or a half, but you can afford it, but we can't."

Han Wanghuo was silent for a while and said:

"I can't agree directly, I'll discuss it with others."

Jiang Baimian, who knew he could not be the master at Hongshiji, expressed his understanding:

"Row.

"But please hurry up, we can wait, the Murloc will not wait."

Han Wanghuo nodded slightly and walked to the side.

After a few steps, he turned around and asked:

"Aren't you afraid that the town guards would forcibly requisition or even kill people and grab goods?"

Jiang Baimian laughed.

But she hadn't made an answer that was in line with the status of the "ultimate villain", and Shang Jian Yao, who had driven the Jeep over, shouted loudly:

"We believe in you!"

Han Wangyu was taken aback, and it took a while before he said bitterly:

"Some things, I can't stop them."

He stopped speaking, walked to the side of the collapsed building, and used the walkie-talkie to communicate with several powerful figures in the town guard.

Ten minutes passed before he walked back to the all-terrain vehicle and said to Jiang Baimian and others:

"Deal."

"Happy cooperation." Jiang Baimian wanted to stretch out his right hand and shake the opponent, but considering the folk customs of Hongshiji, he gave up this plan.

Although she knows that Han Wanghuo is not a believer of the vigilant sect, and shaking hands is not something to be concerned about, the residents of Hongshiji around the town believe in "you aunt." What if they become vigilant because of the handshake between the two and decide to suspend the transaction?

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case!

Han Wang was sighed and talked about the specific plan:

"You first hand over the arms and supplies to me, and distribute them. When we defeat the Murloc and hit them hard, we will hand over an'AC-42' military exoskeleton device to you."

"No problem." Jiang Baimian did not hesitate.

On the contrary, Han Wanghuo was a little uneasy, and asked deliberately:

"You are not afraid that we will lose the war with the next person, even the two exoskeleton devices will fall into their hands?"

What he really wants to ask is, UU reading www. uukanshu. Isn't com afraid of recklessness afterwards?

Shang Jianyao once again answered first:

"We will get it back."

He was very confident.

Jiang Baimian laughed and helped to add:

"We can collect debts armed."

Seeing that the other party was so confident, Han Wanghuo began to notify the members of the town guards across the defense line and asked them to come over in groups to collect new supplies.

This is not to say that they no longer have guns and bullets, but that they must be prepared for a long-term battle with the help of the ruins of the city.

During the material distribution, Han Wanghuo looked at Jiang Baimian and others:

"Do you have anything else?"

Jiang Baimian had already planned, and asked with a smile:

"Do you want to hire mercenaries?

"Just give food for a week, mainly because we have to look at our property and not let it be lost."

She wanted to take this opportunity to give the group a new temper, so that she could have experience in dealing with similar situations in the future.

Han Wanghuo picked up the walkie-talkie again, walked to the previous position, and discussed with the nominal subordinates.

This time, he quickly returned, nodded and said:

"Great.

"You just follow me."

As soon as he was hired, Jiang Baimian entered the state immediately.

She glanced to the southeast and said:

"Captain Han, don't you think it's weird?

"The murlocs and mountain monsters haven't attacked yet. How long has it been?"

They all arrived here from the Vigilance Church in the north of the city, and the materials they brought were almost distributed.

Along the way, they did not hear any obvious gunfire or cannon.

"This is also the reason for hiring you." Han Wanghuo said solemnly, "The team that first discovered the Murloc Mountain Monster never came back."

The southeast corner of the ruins of the city was extremely silent.
