Embers Ad Infinitum

When Long Yuehong took out the group's radio transceiver, Jiang Baimian was writing on a piece of paper what he had reported to the company.

She cleverly grafted her previous experience with the "Road and Electrical Maintenance" radio station into this incident to explain why she wanted Gnawa to switch modes and detect location.

Gnawa's existence, she described as a collaborator, will make the company subconsciously think that this intelligent robot comes from Wang Fugui's team.

After setting up a prelude with the experience of the survivors, she formally entered the topic and talked about how she and others and Wang Fugui's team found the cave, how to go deeper, how to find the wasteland No. 13, how to determine what is wrong, how to get rid of Wu Meng's weirdness The invasion, how to run wildly, has no big details, and did not miss a key point.

——If "Pangu Biology" wants to find the survivor in Jiang Baimian's mouth to verify the "Dao and Electrical Repair" radio station, Jiang Baimian will tell them that unfortunately, the other party was infected during the follow-up treatment and failed to persist. , Lost his life.

For this reason, the name she reported belonged to one of the relic hunters who had a similar situation.

In short, the core is one sentence:

No proof!

After translating the content of the report into a telegram and sending it out, the "Old Tune Team" received confirmation feedback from "Pangu Biology".

This is to confirm that they have received their telegram, and further orders may have to wait a day or two, or even longer.

Jiang Baimian breathed a sigh of relief and said to the rest of the group:

"Take turns rest to make up for sleep."

Another meaning of rest is to quickly charge those high-performance batteries.

——In Qianjin Camp, the electricity bill is much more expensive than the original city, and the savings of the "old-tuned team" is declining at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the afternoon, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen, who were on duty on patrol, each carried assault rifles and walked back and forth without any slack.

Suddenly, they heard a "boom" sound coming from the group's jeep.

Long Yuehong subconsciously took a step forward and opened the corresponding rear door.

But Bai Chen had raised his gun, aimed at that side, and was ready.

Then, they saw Jiang Baimian, who was sleeping on the seat, turned down at some point, with his left hand supporting the carpet, almost standing upside down.

"Group leader, what's the matter?" Long Yuehong asked cautiously.

Jiang Baimian bucked his back, bounced back to his seat, and laughed dryly:

"Have a dream."

Then, her face was solemn:

"That dream made me discover a little problem."

Her serious attitude and solemn expression made Long Yuehong and Bai Chen naturally ignore the fact that she was "scared" by the nightmare and rolled off her seat.

When Shang Jianyao in another car woke up and gathered here with Genawa, Jiang Baimian solemnly said:

"I dreamt of the relic hunters who'followed' the white wolf before. They wandered like living corpses in the black wasteland and in the ruins of the city.

"After waking up, I noticed something was wrong:

"The data is not right."

"What data?" Long Yuehong dutifully played the role of asking questions.

Of course, he really just asked if he didn't understand.

Jiang Baimian recalled:

"For the last two months, even if the white wolf eats one person a day, it can only eat 61 people."

"Those survivors said that they did not eat every day, but regularly, almost once every two or three days." Bai Chen reminded the group leader.

"My estimate is going to be bigger." Jiang Baimian explained his thoughts, and then added, "The total number of followers killed by us and the surviving relic hunters is 35. According to the guild's statistics, the last two By the end of the month, there were almost one hundred and seventy and eighty relic hunters and wilderness wanderers missing in the mountains on the north shore."

Hearing this, Long Yuehong already understood what the group leader meant:

The data on both sides are not right!

There are some missing persons who have not seen themselves in their lives, and have died without a trace!

"Even if you deduct the part of people who disappeared due to hunting, exploration, etc., the estimated number of people affected by the white wolf is still 120." Jiang Baimian continued, "In other words, there are about 30 people who have neither Followed by the white wolf and was not eaten by him."

After a pause, Jiang Baimian asked sternly:

"So, where did they go?"

"According to the description of the survivors, only twenty-four or five people may have been eaten by the white wolf. I don't know that there are almost sixty people missing, or even more." Bai Chen added thoughtfully, "because this is unilateral by the guild. Statistics will definitely be missed."

As for the situation before the White Wolf mission was promulgated, no one did statistics in the mountains on the north shore, and there was no unified organization and no powerful force in control.

"Meaning, nearly half of the human beings affected by the white wolf in the past two months are missing?" Long Yuehong said in an uncertain tone.

Shang Jianyao showed a suddenly realized look:

"Is it reserved?"

"Bringing around is also a reserve." Jiang Baimian denied this speculation.

She immediately ordered:

"We divided into two groups and asked the survivors to see who knew about this matter, and also recorded the specific time points when they were affected by the white wolf.

"Hey, it was too rushed and some details may have been missed."

No one is long-winded, the "old tune team" followed the plan of Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, and Longyuehong, Bai Chen, and Genawah, looking for survivors such as Qi Longen.

About forty minutes later, they met on the third floor of the main building of the castle, where the survivors received treatment.

"At present, it is not clear whether the White Wolf has other dens or other followers." Long Yuehong took the initiative to report.

Bai Chen glanced at the note paper in his hand, and said solemnly:

"But there is a problem. These people have only been affected by White Wolf in the last month."

"The situation I collected here is also." Jiang Baimian responded.

"The shelf life of the previous month has passed, and was thrown away by White Wolf?" Shang Jian Yao blurted out in surprise.

His words made Long Yuehong and others not know how to answer.

Only Gnawa said honestly:

"There is still so much expired food in the cave, it shouldn't be a problem to raise those people."

Jiang Baimian thought for a while, and then said:

"There are still two people who have not asked. The other survivors said that when they were affected by the white wolf, the two people were already following the white wolf."

One is Richard and the other is Louis.

Richard was slightly injured. After treatment and rest, he was able to walk freely. Then he moved away from this sad place and returned to the original city. The "old tune team" would not be able to find him for a while.

It was Louis, who seemed to have some savings, opened a room in the camp hotel.

Boom boom boom, Long Yuehong knocked on Louis's door.

Louis, with slightly fluffy flax hair, quickly opened the wooden door.

Seeing a group of five people from the "Old Tune Group", his face suddenly turned pale, and he subconsciously took two steps back:

"You guys, what do you want to do?"

"Please ask you if you have any questions." Shang Jianyao showed a kind smile.

Louis' eyes stopped, his emotions collapsed suddenly, and he shouted hysterically:

"I didn't want revenge!

"I didn't want revenge!"

Hearing these words, Long Yuehong suddenly remembered that this was the survivor who looked at him with hatred before.

Seeing Jiang Baimian's eyebrows moved, Shang saw Yao laughed out loud, and Louis became more nervous. He stepped back and begged for mercy:

"I, I have thought about it, but I don't have this ability, I, I don't have this ability!"

After yelling these words, he fell to the ground, covered his face, and said with a weeping voice:

"I have given up, I really have given up, I, I am useless, I am sorry for them! I am sorry for them..."

With desperate, horrified and sad voices echoing in the room, Long Yuehong sighed for a while.

When Louis calmed down a bit, Jiang Baimian deliberately lowered his voice and said:

"You have two choices now, one is to be killed by us, and the other is to answer one of our questions, then leave here, never return, don't be touched by us."

Louis was silent for two seconds, released his palms, and asked eagerly:

"what is the problem?"

His face was full of tears.

"When you first'followed' the White Wolf, there should be dozens of people around it. Where did they go?" Jiang Baimian asked a question that he had already thought about.

Louise's expression changed a bit and said:

"They, they followed the white wolf into the depths of the cave~www.readwn.com~ never came back..."

His eyes were full of fear.

This incident seemed to have become a lingering nightmare for him.

Into the depths of the cave? Delivered to Wasteland No. 13 Ruins? Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and others all instinctively flashed such an idea.

After "driving out" Louis, they exchanged for a while on this matter, and finally got a unified understanding:

Those who are missing are most likely to be related to the wasteland 13 ruins.

As for why the White Wolf sent those humans into the Wasteland No. 13 Ruins, Jiang Baimian and others lacked enough clues to even guess.

It was Shang Jian Yao who proposed a horrible story-like possibility:

"Experimental product."

…………

The next day, during the fixed contact time period, the "Old Tune Team" received a telegram from "Pangu Biology":

"I understand your situation...Wu Meng can exert remote influence without the help of words. There may only be various electrical appliances, including smart robots. If you want to explore the wasteland No. 13 ruins, please eliminate the hidden dangers in advance..."

"The company tends to let us do some exploration..." Jiang Baimian said thoughtfully.

Gnawa spoke immediately:

"Then I can only respond."

He simulated the emotions of three-point frustration and three-point loss.

When the "old tune group" put away the radio transceiver and discussed this matter, Wang Fugui walked over with the light of the street lamp.

He looked at Jiang Baimian and others, and said sincerely:

"I have thought about it. That Wu Meng's "Tao" should be in electrical and electronic products. If you don't bring these, you might be able to bypass his influence."

This... Long Yuehong's eyes widened slightly.

Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen were also quite surprised.

Wang Fugui's statement is almost the same as the company's advice!
