Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 32: Replay

   The night is deep, the wind is sad, the rain is bitter, and the entire Shuiwei Town seems to have been swallowed by darkness, only scattered lights can penetrate it.

   The previous noise, noise, and the mixed smell of various flavors quickly dissipated, allowing Shang Jian Yao to feel the silence as isolated from the world.

In the rain curtain around the wooden shed, several members of the town guard patrolled in places that could be covered, while the others put on the dark raincoats and large woven bags that had been prepared long ago, and walked back and forth on the wooden frame on the wall.

   In the light shining from the light bulbs, the rain is like broken pearls, densely packed, one after another.

"There were originally two diesel generators here, but one of them was broken and they couldn't be repaired. Well, for the settlements in the wilderness, lack of electricity is not a serious matter. Food, clothing, weapons and cleanliness The water is the most critical resource.” Bai Chen said casually.

   Jiang Baimian smiled and added:

"Can you speak louder? Well, food and clean water determine whether you can survive, clothes determine whether you will freeze to death or catch cold and get sick, and weapons determine whether others will leave you with food, Clothing and clean water."

   She glanced at the left and right, seeing that the rain was not too small, she clapped her hands and said:

  "I will build the jeep tomorrow morning, the first ‘class’ of this outdoor training this evening.

   "We need to resume the previous battle and sum up our experience and lessons.

   "Everyone must use themselves as the protagonist, describe the choices and experiences at that time, Bai Chen, you come first."

   As a wilderness wanderer who has joined the "Pangu Creatures" for not too long and has not participated in similar training, Bai Chen did not expect that there would be such a thing as "post-war resumption". He hesitated for a while and was obviously not ready.

   However, she didn't resist this. She was able to wander in the wilderness for so many years and still live well. In addition to having certain helpers, she also kept reflecting on and remembering her mistakes.

   organized the next language. From the first encounter with the relic hunter group of the part-time robber, she reviewed every detail she remembered.

   She was followed by Shang Jian Yao, after Shang Jian Yao, Long Yuehong, and finally Jiang Baimian.

   Jiang Baimian finished speaking and looked at Shang Jian Yao and said:

   "You took the initiative to shoot and kill the two motorcyclists. The choice was decisive, but also reckless.

"if not……"

   She paused and said:

   "If you are not lucky, you are the most likely to die."

   At this point, she smiled slightly:

   "But luck is also part of your strength. You have to balance the relationship between the two and try to make yourself more confident."

   Shang Jian Yao was slightly at a loss at first, then he nodded thoughtfully, expressing his approval of the group leader's words.

  Long Yuehong felt that Jiang Baimian's last few words were joking. Without thinking about it, she frowned and raised her biggest doubt:

   "Group leader, you just said that the bandit leader wearing the exoskeleton device was finally killed by us because he made a mistake in his own judgment and was not cautious enough.

   "Then, if a person wearing a similar exoskeleton device did not make such a big mistake, how should we deal with him?"

   Jiang Baimian looked at Long Yuehong:

   "Why do you think there is a way to deal with it?

  "If you don’t make big mistakes, it means that people who wear exoskeleton devices are fairly experienced and have no problems with physical fitness. Such people with exoskeleton devices can be a big killer even on the real battlefield, and they are the elite of the elite.

   "How can we be able to deal with such an enemy when we have a small number of people, no heavy weapons, only a grenade gun and have no chance to use it? Are you too underestimated by military-grade exoskeleton devices?"

   "Then, doesn't that mean..." Long Yuehong only discovered that he was really walking on the edge of **** before.

   Jiang Baimian looked around and said:

  "The best time to deal with such an enemy is before he puts on the exoskeleton device.

"If you don't grasp this opportunity, then you can'race' with him before you get closer. The military-grade exoskeleton device will not be much faster than a jeep at high speed, and some models will even be slower and have endurance. worse.

"Unfortunately, we encountered a terrain change at the time, and we fought against the Black Marsh Iron Snake again. We didn't have all the advantages, and we were almost in a desperate situation. If it wasn't for that guy to be fearful, at first Obviously reluctant to waste too much energy, reluctant to destroy the spoils, calculated too clearly, we will die in the first round of attack by half, maybe more."

   Long Yuehong's face turned pale when she heard it, and she had a deeper understanding of the danger of dust. Shang Jian Yao and Bai Chen listened attentively, and obviously realized that Jiang Baimian hadn't finished speaking.

   Jiang Baimian "Uh" let out:

   "Before Shang Jian Yao killed the motorcyclist and angered that guy, I had two plans.

   "One is to surrender immediately to get closer. As long as I can enter a certain range, even if I am seriously injured by them and cannot move, I still have the means to counterattack."

   Having said that, she teased:

"The biggest problem with this plan is that Bai Chen and I have a lot of hope to survive and become captives, at least for a short period of time. And you two are likely to be shot directly, unless one of them prefers men. of."

   Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong's expressions instantly became quite complicated.

   Seeing their reaction, Jiang Baimian said in a good mood:

"The second plan is to use that guy's too much scrupulous and fearful mentality to design a trap so that he can't escape in advance, and as long as he doesn't escape in advance, I'm very sure that he is not protected The key to getting up."

   "What kind of trap?" Long Yuehong blurted out.

   Jiang Baimian looked at him for two seconds, spreading his hands and saying:

"Not ready yet."

   "..." Long Yuehong and Shang Jianyao's facial muscles twitched vaguely.

   Jiang Baimian suddenly became angry from shame:

   "How can you think about it so quickly?

   "When I was still thinking, things changed. I don't need to waste my brain anymore!"

   She turned her head and looked at Bai Chen who was listening quietly:

   "What can you add?"

   Bai Chen thought about it next:

   "The purpose of most robbers in the wilderness is to rob supplies, not to kill.

   "If there is no other way, I will consider giving up the jeep and the materials in it, such as letting the vehicle rush into the swamp without driving to attract their attention, and then take the opportunity to hide in the swamp in the other direction.

   "In many places in the Everglades, people can barely walk, but those wearing exoskeleton devices can't, and the weight exceeds the limit."

   After listening, Jiang Baimian nodded in satisfaction:

   "That's right, this is the different perspectives of the wilderness wanderers and the powerful-born people in handling the same thing.

   "Have you learned?"

   Happiness, Shang Jianyao clapped without losing the opportunity, and even Long Yuehong clapped subconsciously.

  What am I doing...Long Yuehong reacted quickly and responded awkwardly:

   "I learned it, but I have to digest and absorb it slowly."

   After resuming the daytime battle, the four were divided into groups according to yesterday, and the two took turns on guard.

  Because it had just rained, the weather was much colder than last night, and the charcoal provided by Tian Erhe was limited. They took out a thick cotton coat from the trunk and wrapped it on their bodies.

   The rain is rushing, washing everything in the dark night that covers everything, and it doesn't stop completely until the sky is getting clearer.

  Shuiwei Town has a mature and complete drainage system. There is no accumulation of water, but the ground is wet, and part of the soil has become muddy.

   Bai Chen was in the water, finished the compressed biscuits, and began to replace parts for the jeep, doing not too difficult repairs.

   At this time, Tian Erhe walked over in the early morning mist and asked with a smile:

  "Bai, can you fix it?

   "If it can be repaired, we will receive light machine guns and motorcycles."

   "Yes." Bai Chen did not look back, raising his hand to signal.

   Tian Erhe immediately greeted the surrounding town guard members:

  "Come on, bring that machine gun.

   "Oh, I feel that you have given too much, or else, I will add another tent for you?"

   "Okay." Jiang Baimian had no objection.

   At this time, Tian Erhe saw the black marsh iron snake skin on the roof of the jeep.

   "This..." His eyes widened, "You did it?"

   When the Jeep came over yesterday, the sky was already dim because of the dark clouds. They didn't see what was tied to the roof of the car. They thought it was a black tent.

   Following Tian Erhe's gaze, the members of the surrounding town guards all saw the snake skin that gave a strong sense of oppression.

   "Black Marsh Iron Snake..." Someone whispered the nightmare name.

   Jiang Baimian laughed softly:

   "This guy is too big, we can only peel off the skin."

   The people in Shuiwei Town were silent for a moment, and Jiang Baimian was a little embarrassed by the silence.

   She was fine even when she was idle. She looked at the town that was gradually becoming lively, and tentatively asked:

   "Mayor, can we walk around and take a look?"

   "Yes, where do I want to go, I will take you there?" Tian Erhe helped the hat on his head, "Or, go to the classroom to see? Are you very interested in our classroom?"

   Under the clear morning light, the wrinkles on his face became more striking and deeper.

   "Okay." Jiang Baimian turned to Shang Jian Yao and said, "You follow me. Long Yuehong, help Bai Chen look around."

   Shang Jian Yao did not refuse, and followed Jiang Baimian and Tian Erhe to the three buildings in the shape of "Pin".

On the way, they passed through the chaotically built areas of various houses. They saw holes in some walls, which could only be blocked with wood and hay. Seeing some townspeople drinking cold water, they hurried to the fields behind the town. A certain tent became soggy in the rain last night, and it seemed to be a little water seep. I saw people with yellow-faced muscles and torn clothes running to different places.

   After passing through here, it is the small square made of cement. The flagpole on the flag-raising stand remained the same, but the flag was missing.

   Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian followed Tian Erhe onward, bypassed the front building, entered the left one of the two buildings behind, and went up to the third floor.

   There is a fenced aisle on one side, and a small room on the other side, with plenty of light and good ventilation.

   After walking a few steps, Tian Erhe led the two to stop in front of a fairly large room.

   Through the bright and clean glass windows, Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian saw a dozen or twenty tables and chairs inside. The aisles were very narrow and the gaps were small.

   At this time, a dozen or twenty half-year-old children under the age of ten are wearing all kinds of tattered and not clean clothes, sitting behind the table or on the chair, looking up at the podium, and listening intently to the teacher's lecture.

Some of them tremble slightly, seemingly not adapting to the early morning cold enough. Some of them hang their younger siblings on their chests, coaxing them from time to time~www.ltnovel.com~ They have males and females. The same, but the back is very straight, sitting upright.

   Shang Jian Yao glanced at it and saw the timetable they had posted on the wall:

   "Morning exercises...common sense...language...mathematics...history..."

   "This is a middle-grade student." Tian Erhe pressed his voice and introduced, as if he didn't want to disturb the children inside.

   Jiang Baimian watched intently for a few seconds, and then let out a "um":

   "Let's go, don't disturb them."

   After visiting Shuiwei Town with Tian Erhe, the two returned to the wooden shed. At this time, Bai Chen had repaired the jeep.

  Because the Shuiwei Township did not have enough food, and the meat was even more lacking, Jiang Baimian did not try to trade again.

   "Mayor, we have to go."

   Tian Erhe nodded gently:

   "I hope I can see you again."

   "Yeah." Jiang Baimian smiled and nodded.

   "It will." Bai Chen responded at the same time.

   They quickly packed their belongings and got into the jeep. This time, it was opened by Jiang Baimian.

   When the Jeep slowly drove to the gate with the barbed wire, Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong and others once again looked at the dense and chaotic area.

   The townspeople there have gone to the fields or went hunting, only a few are at home.

   This makes the place more and more ragged and decayed.

   In the silent silence, Shang Jianyao and others suddenly heard a neat and tender voice from the deepest building:

  "The moonlight in front of the bed,

   "Suspected is frost on the ground.

  "Look up at the moon,

   "Look down and think of hometown."
