Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 24: letter

Because the design of the military exoskeleton device must take into account the recovery of the wearer after the death, and Shang Jian Yao and Long Yuehong were familiar with such items during the previous two months of training. Seeing Yao only fumbled a few times, he found the button and successfully closed the integrated system and energy backpack.

   After completing this step, the next job is nothing technical-untie the metal buckles at the auxiliary joints one by one.

   Long Yuehong opened her mouth while flicking the buckles on her elbow joint and wrist, and then closed it again.

   just stopped talking like this three more times, and finally couldn't help but suppress his voice and asked:

   "You were not nervous just now, were you afraid?"

   Shang Jian Yao, who is in charge of the legs, pointed to himself:

   "Are you asking me?"

   "Who else is here besides you?" Long Yuehong asked angrily and funny.

   Bai Chen was repairing the jeep behind him. Jiang Baimian took the pistol and went around to the other side. In the small area where the body was, he and Shang Jianyao were the only people.

   Shang Jian Yao patted the corpse on the thigh:

   "There is still him."

   "..." Long Yuehong wanted to scold the guy opposite, but was a little scared inexplicably.

   He remembered the stories that adults often use to scare children.

   Shang Jian Yao suppressed his smile, and said "Yes":

   "I will definitely be nervous and scared."

   "But I can't tell at all." Long Yuehong blurted out.

   Shang Jian Yao nodded gently:

   "Because I told myself in my heart: Your goal is to save all mankind."

   "...what's the connection?" Long Yuehong felt that she was used to business meeting Yao from time to time, "I mean, why don't you be afraid or nervous?"

   Shang Jianyao replied with a serious expression:

   "On the way to achieve this goal, sacrifice is inevitable."

   At this moment, Long Yuehong didn't know whether to say that Shang Jian Yao was normal or abnormal.

   He quickly decided to abandon this topic and asked instead:

   "Don't you feel uncomfortable? Killed two people personally.

  " Not long ago, they could still laugh, walk and jump, and they were alive, flesh and blood.

   "Uh... it doesn't have to be uncomfortable, is there any special feeling anyway?"

   Shang Jian Yaowei nodded invisibly:

"Have."

   Long Yuehong was inexplicably relieved.

   Shang Jian Yao continued:

   "I want to make two more shots."

   "...Why?" Long Yuehong gave up letting her thoughts synchronize with Shang Jian Yao.

   Shang Jian Yao glanced at him, then cast his gaze to the jeep behind him:

   "We never thought of robbing them, hurting them, shooting them, and they were malicious to us from the beginning, tracking us all the way, and attacking them whenever possible.

   "If we didn't perform supernormally and made one more mistake, then we are here now, and it is us who are searched for the body, and do you think they will feel special about it?

   "No, they can only sing songs, spit our mouths, eat our energy bars, eat our compressed biscuits, eat our military cans, and make the hot pot with the black bog iron snakes we killed. Can this be tolerated?"

   Long Yuehong's mind reflexively flashed a similar picture, which reminded him of the intense hunger that he had endured since childhood.

  He suddenly became furious:

   "No!"

After    answered, he suddenly stopped, like a basketball that hadn't been pumped up for a long time:

   "But, I still don't feel so comfortable."

   Shang Jian Yao heard these words, and the corners of his mouth slowly opened, revealing a slightly grandiose smile:

   "This is dust.

   "Get used to it."

   "It's not the first time you have come to the surface..." Long Yuehong muttered, and became busy.

   Not long after, they opened all the metal buckles and took the military exoskeleton device off the corpse.

   Jiang Baimian returned to the jeep at some point, and said thoughtfully:

   "Long Yuehong, give it a try and see if you can control it."

Similar things always made some men enthusiastic, and Long Yuehong was one of them. He ignored the blood remaining on the exoskeleton device, and quickly urged Shang Jianyao to adjust the length of the auxiliary bone with the help of the other party. , Carried the energy backpack, put on the iron black helmet, and locked the metal buckle.

   When the self-check of the integrated system was completed, Long Yuehong took a look and quickly reported:

   "There is still 23% of the electricity, it is said that it can be used for 1 hour and 55 minutes."

"Don't believe this. This is just a situation where you maintain normal exercise and only do basic operations. If you want to fly like this one just now, run and jump wildly, all systems are overloaded, I guess it will be at most half an hour." Jiang Baimian Lifting his left leg, pointed at the body of the mature man with his toe.

   "Hmm." Long Yuehong began to perform various basic movements.

   After a series of operations, he said in surprise:

   "Group leader, this is much better than the one I tried in the company before!"

   Jiang Baimian "Heh" said:

   "That's a copy of the company. You don't want to think about how strong in machinery and electronics can we become a biological company?"

   "So too." Long Yuehong excitedly tried out the rest of the functions of the military exoskeleton device.

   Shang Jian Yao still squatted on the spot, searching every pocket of the body, not letting go of the inner layer of the panties.

   "There are only two packs of biscuits." Finally, he looked at the objects placed in front of him with disgust.

   These two packs of biscuits are not compressed, and rows of red river characters are written on the packaging bags-because of severe wear and tear, Shang Jianyao barely recognizes "scallions" and "soda".

——On the lime soil, the two most mainstream languages ​​are the lime soil language and the Honghe language. The former is the lingua franca of "Pangu Biology" and "The Salvation Army", and the latter is mainly used in the Red River Basin and the forces near the Red River Basin. ——This includes "First City", "White Knights" and "Orange Company".

   In addition to these two packets of biscuits, Shang Jianyao also found two letter papers and a badge.

   The two pieces of letter paper, one folded neatly, and one stacked together randomly.

   Shang Jian Yao unfolded the neat and clean letter paper, and casually commented:

   "This has been discounted many times."

   Jiang Baimian instructed Long Yuehong to be on guard for four weeks, and he got to the side of Shang Jian Yao, squatted down, and read the letter with him.

   This credit is in gray text:

  "Dear father:

   "I had a good time in the city at the beginning. Although reading is still a bit difficult, the dialogue is basically no problem. No one can detect that I am from the wilderness anymore...

"...The hierarchy here is very strict, but compared to the outside, it is beautiful like heaven. As long as you follow their rules, obey people higher than yourself, and identify your class and status, you can live more smoothly. ...

  "...Don’t worry about my studies. With that person’s help, I have already transferred to a regular college. As long as I graduate successfully, I can get rid of my status as a slave and become a citizen...

"...I don’t know if the town’s food reserves are still enough? Although it’s still summer, I heard some students say that this winter will be extraordinarily difficult. I don’t know where their judgment comes from, but I just feel it’s necessary to tell you Let me make some preparations as soon as possible. Even if this is a rumor, I would rather believe it than ignore...

"... You said that you became a relic hunter last time. This is a good thing. Compared to being a robber, this profession is obviously safer. Of course, it is also very dangerous... Don’t go to the newly discovered city ruins, don’t go to few people. The ruins of the city that came back, and, don’t be a robber anymore, although this is indeed the fastest time to bring back winter food to the town...

"...I will try to find merchants in the city who dare to smuggle food, but I am not sure, nor do I have enough resources to exchange it. I only hope that the children and grandchildren who will show me more about the elders of the Senate, see if I can Find opportunities from them...

"...Finally, I hope that you will always be healthy and that the famine will not come. I hope that Uncle Jishun, Uncle Jinfeng, Brother Ayu, and Brother Qianning are all doing well and can bring enough food to their homes. Hope Everyone can wait until the Senate’s approval, and wait until the day when they are incorporated into the original city as a citizen instead of a slave. Also, the one who is very good to the mother, don’t worry...

   "...Your little Anji."

   After reading it, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao did not speak for a long time.

   "This is the dust." After a while, Jiang Baimian laughed at himself.

   Shang Jian Yao responded in a low voice:

   "He has read this letter more than twenty times..."

   A certain degree of judgment can be made from the appearance of the crease of the letter and the condition of the paper.

   Jiang Baimian wanted to tell Shang Jianyao that this kind of thing is dead and alive, and there is no need to feel guilty because of this, but suddenly remembered one thing and could only pat the other person on the shoulder:

"Everyone has two sides, even more than two sides. It is completely different to one's own children and to strangers~www.ltnovel.com~ As a stranger, you don't need to care about what happens to his child losing his father, just to be fortunate. I'm still alive.

"I know what you are thinking, and I have heard some rumors. I can tell you with certainty that people in our company will not be reduced to this level of wilderness bandit. If they want to rob, they will only rob the hostile forces for material transportation. Team."

   Seeing Yao did not speak, Shang folds the letter and tuck it back into the inner pocket of the mature man.

   Then, he opened the other letter, the crumpled letter:

"mission details:

  "Explore the area north of Yuelu Station to collect information about the target.

  "Target description:

"Male, of unknown origin, height of about 1.8 meters, black hair and golden eyes, very handsome, and equally attractive. He likes to wear a trench coat, boots, and gloves. He always combs his hair neatly and neatly, not like wandering in the wilderness. If the risk level is tentatively set as'high'.

  "Remuneration:

  "One ton of flour of ordinary grade (guaranteed by the Association).

  "Task level:

   "C, 100 credit points."

"This is the mission document of the Hunter's Guild." Jiang Baimian introduced, and then thoughtfully picked up the badge found by Shang Jianyao, "Yuelu Station is an old world relic in the black marsh wilderness. Farther north, you are in the depths of the swamp, where dangers are dense."

   While talking, Jiang Baimian checked the badge in his hand.

  The badge is brass-colored, with a face embossed with blurred facial features, and a knife and a gun are engraved on the cheeks of the face.

A small chip is embedded on the back of the    badge.

   This is a badge from the Hunter Guild.
