Embers Ad Infinitum

There are many Tarnan sects and many awakened people. Gnawa is no stranger to this, but perhaps it is precisely because he has organized the security of Tarnan so well. Except for this time when he encountered the illusion of the "Higher Heartless One", he usually There is also little opportunity to see the effects of various abilities, so we mainly rely on the information on the "Machine Paradise" public website.

At this time, he asked uncertainly:

"Yeah?"

"You can ask them." Shang Jianyao said with a smile.

What he was looking at was Long Yuehong.

Long Yuehong shivered inexplicably:

"Yes, it is."

Jiang Baimian helped:

"To a certain extent, human consciousness, memory, and self-understanding are also very fragile."

Gennava nodded slowly and did not ask any more questions.

Jiang Baimian then laughed and said:

"Actually, you don't need to think so much now. Now that you've come out, it's best not to have preset views. Listen, see, and experience with your heart. After enough experience, you may be able to get what you want. The answer is, when the time comes, the mountains will still be mountains, and the water will still be water.”

Gennava didn't quite understand the last sentence, but he understood the meaning of the previous part. He pondered for a while and said:

"I'll try to find the answer."

Jiang Baimian smiled, said nothing more, and said to Shang Jianyao and others:

"Get in the car."

After understanding Gnawa's confusion, she somewhat understood one of the reasons why he was not obsessed with rescuing Susanna and Redeth.

…………

On the second day, the vehicle was not far from Hongshiji and was about to enter the Nuhu area. It should be able to arrive the next day.

Long Yuehong looked out the window and found that a little bit of new green had grown on the surface of the hills, in the crevices of the rocks, and far away from the road.

"Winter is over?" In his experience, it's not spring yet.

Jiang Baimian, who took turns driving, smiled and explained:

"This place belongs to the south. It's different from the Black Marsh Wilderness. The weather warms up earlier."

"And this area is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the cold air is blocked, forming a relatively warm zone..." Gnawa added from a geographical perspective.

Long Yuehong asked thoughtfully:

"As far as this area is concerned, winter is over?"

The most difficult season on earth is finally over?

"Yes." Bai Chen, who was in the passenger seat, pointed diagonally ahead, "The wanderers are starting to come out to look for food."

At the end of winter and the beginning of spring, it is the season when the stored food is almost used up and new food has not yet been planted. Wilderness wanderers in various settlements begin to go out, relying on the mountains to eat and the water to drink.

As for those who cannot sustain their food now, they may have already become part of the group of refugees outside Weed Grass City.

Following what Bai Chen pointed out, Long Yuehong saw several small trucks.

They were shabby and old, and there were multiple men with guns standing on the back.

The faces of these people were quite dirty, their clothes had obvious signs of splicing, and their weapons were mainly homemade shotguns, mixed with rifles and pistols.

Seeing the "old tune team" with only one Jeep, the team changed direction and moved closer.

"They want to rob?" Long Yuehong was a little funny.

"In this season, robbery is more efficient than hunting." Bai Chen introduced calmly.

As soon as she finished speaking, Shang Jianyao took out the blue and white loudspeaker and opened the window next to him.

His voice immediately echoed:

“Give up your fantasies and accept reality.

“It’s not too late to look back now.

"Look, we have individual combat rocket launchers..."

While repeating these sentences in Honghe dialect, he turned his head and looked at Long Yuehong.

Long Yuehong had a tacit understanding of this, and he understood it instantly. He picked up the "Reaper" individual combat rocket launcher and stretched it out of his window so that the group of wilderness wanderers could see clearly.

Shang Jianyao continued to shout:

"We also have auxiliary combat robots..."

He shouted in bilingual turns while winking at Gnawa, who was crowded in the middle of the back row.

Gennava hesitated and asked:

"You want me to shock them?"

Shang Jianyao nodded to indicate that this was the case.

Gennava held the backrest with one hand, moved his body over Shang Jianyao, and tried to stick his head out of the window.

At this time, Jiang Baimian, who was driving, handed over an item with his backhand.

That's a pair of sunglasses.

After a brief analysis, Gennaval understood what she meant, took the sunglasses, and put them on the bridge of his nose.

In this way, the blue light bursting out of its eyes is blocked, and no one without careful observation will suspect that it is an intelligent robot.

——After spending this time together, he finally figured out one thing:

The real name of Qian Bai's team is the "Investigation Team for the Cause of Destruction of the Old World of 'Pangu Creatures'". The team leader is not Qian Bai, but this woman whose pseudonym is Xue Shiyue and whose real name is Jiang Baimian.

A woman who can defeat an intelligent person in a one-on-one duel.

Although this relied on a sneak attack, it was still outrageous.

Just a few seconds after Gnawa stuck his head wearing sunglasses out of the window, the shabby little trucks carrying people had already turned around and "whistled" away.

Before long, they disappeared into the hilly terrain.

Gennava retracted his body, took off his sunglasses, looked at Shang Jianyao, and asked very directly:

"You used the Awakener's ability on them and changed their perception?"

"Yes, he can use the loudspeaker to improve the range of his abilities, but currently it can only be one-on-one." Long Yuehong felt that she could answer this question by herself, so she helped Shang Jianyao explain.

Shang Jianyao looked at him and Gnawa respectively, and asked doubtfully:

"When did you get the illusion that I have the ability to use it?"

"Uh..." Long Yuehong was a little stunned.

Shang Jianyao immediately smiled:

"I just intimidated them.

"Think about it, a combat auxiliary robot or a personal combat rocket launcher can easily defeat them. If they still dare to charge forward, I will suspect that their brains have been eaten by 'unintentional people'."

Even if only the "unintentional ones" with bestial instincts are left, they would not dare to rush into this situation unless they are really hungry.

Gnawa nodded:

"There is really no need for additional capabilities."

Intimidation and a show of force can produce great results.

Then, he corrected Shang Jianyao:

"You were talking about auxiliary combat robots before."

"Haha, don't worry about these details." Shang Jianyao laughed, stretched out his left hand and put it on Gnawa's left shoulder, "You can't be too rigid in your life."

He looked like he was hooking up with the two brothers.

"You can't be too rigid in your life..." Gnawa repeated in a learned tone.

Jiang Baimian, who was driving, couldn't help but frown slightly.

Shang Jianyao won't bring down the smart robot, right?

As the saying goes, those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black, and intelligent robots rely on special learning algorithms to absorb "nutrition" from the surroundings and build their own cognitive systems, which will reflect this even more.

"Ahem." Jiang Baimian cleared his throat, "Gnawa, there are universal differences among human beings. You can't just look at individual samples and accept only one point of view. You need to have more contact with other human beings."

"I understand." Gennava expressed his understanding while returning the sunglasses. "I have tried to communicate and get along with many townspeople and outsiders in Tarnan before, but they were all more reserved and not very Dare to show off. "

After speaking, he sincerely suggested:

"You can call me Lao Ge. Calling me by my first name seems unfamiliar."

"Who taught you to choose this nickname?" Jiang Baimian was surprised and amused at the same time.

Gennava explained seriously:

"I analyzed your nicknames, found out the patterns, and chose this one myself.

"Well, during this process, I have been unable to find any similarity between his nickname and your nickname, so I can only rule it out without reference."

This refers to Shang Jianyao's "Hello".

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Chen in the passenger seat laughed inaudibly.

Jiang Baimian couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth:

"I just said that there are universal differences between people. His way of thinking is different from ours. You don't need to think too much about it."

Gennava said "hmm" and said to himself:

"From the perspective of us intelligent people, nicknames do not necessarily follow rules, but can also be based on one's own habits and exposure to certain scenes. I lack understanding of him, so I cannot analyze it."

As he spoke, he glanced at Shang Jianyao with a flashing blue light in his eyes, as if he wanted to use this to establish a special observation sample and enrich his own database.

Shang Jianyao didn't mind this at all. He took back his left hand that was draped over his shoulders, and shook Gnawa's hand heavily:

"Welcome to communicate and dance together later."

Gnawa might be a little averse to dancing, but thinking of joining the group, he finally agreed:

"good."

"..." Jiang Baimian looked at the road ahead and exhaled helplessly.

…………

In the ruins of the city where Hongshiji is located, silence is still the main theme here.

The jeep drove to the entrance of the underground shopping mall, which is the Hongshiji. As expected, it was targeted by guns hidden in the rock wall and artillery in the cave.

"Do you need me to negotiate?" Gnawa analyzed the situation and felt that it was safest and appropriate for him to come forward.

Before he finished speaking, Shang Jianyao opened the car door and walked out without caring.

Shang Jianyao raised his arms and waved towards the people hiding at the entrance of Hongshiji, while shouting happily:

"We're back!"

He didn't know when he had put on that mask with a furry face and a sharp mouth.
