Embers Ad Infinitum

After Jiang Baimian inserted the index finger of his left hand into the hole in Jingfa's neck, the metal body of the mechanical monk froze next to the passenger seat as if an electrical appliance had lost its power.

At the same time, Bai Chen released his right foot from the accelerator, leaned sideways, and tried to pick up the grenade gun Jiang Baimian put on his lap.

Seeing this scene, Long Yuehong and Shang Jianyao also reacted almost in no particular order:

Long Yuehong quickly raised the "Berserker" assault rifle on her body and aimed at the back of Jingfa's head;

Shang Jianyao leaned forward slightly, his eyes suddenly darkened:

"Zen Master, look..."

As soon as he said these four words, he saw Jiang Baimian's body suddenly collapsed into the passenger seat.

Her left hand fell down softly and separated from Jingfa's neck. Her eyes were confused and she murmured strange words:

"Who am I...what am I doing here..."

Snapped!

Mechanical Monk Jingfa's body then returned to normal. He pressed down, stretched his left hand forward, and pinched Bai Chen's neck so that she could not pick up the grenade gun.

when! when!

The bullet fired by Long Yuehong accurately hit the back of Jingfa's head, but it only caused scattered sparks and made two small dents.

Not only that, the rebounded bullets almost hit Long Yuehong's face, and they missed the C-pillar of the Jeep and flew out of the window.

Seeing all this, Shang Jianyao's pupils dilated, but he still said the prepared words quickly and smoothly:

"You have human consciousness, and I also have human consciousness."

Jingfa put one knee on the armrest box, pinched Bai Chen's neck, and turned his head to look at Shang Jianyao.

Perhaps it was because Shang Jianyao had been asking and communicating in a friendly manner before, or perhaps because Shang Jianyao was not a woman, the mechanical monk did not stop him immediately, but just stared at him with bright red eyes.

Shang Jian Yao continued speaking very quickly:

"You are the awakened one,

"I am also an awakener.

"so……"

When Long Yuehong heard this, she turned her head in astonishment, and the confusion in Jiang Baimian's eyes recovered a little.

The red light emitted from Jingfa's eyes flashed rapidly for a while, and soon returned to calm.

His cold and emotionless voice sounded hesitantly:

"So, we want to get along well with each other?"

"Yes!" Shang Jianyao nodded heavily.

Jingfa hesitated for two seconds and finally released his left palm from Bai Chen's neck.

At this time, Jiang Baimian seemed to have gotten rid of the weird state just now, and looked back and forth between Shang Jianyao and Jingfa in shock and confusion.

Just when she was about to quietly pick up the grenade gun, regardless of whether the explosion would affect her and others, she saw Shang Jianyao shake his head twice in succession.

Jiang Baimian realized something and took his hands off the grenade gun.

At the same time, she closed her mouth tightly, not making any sound, to prevent Jingfa from diverting her attention.

During this process, she put her right index finger upright against her mouth, signaling Bai Chen not to make any move.

Shang Jianyao kept looking at Jingfa and said extremely sincerely:

"Zen Master, we appreciate your kindness.

"After sending you thousands of miles away, you will eventually have to say goodbye. Why don't you say goodbye here?"

Jingfa thought for a while, moved his head up and down and said:

"good."

Shang Jianyao immediately turned sideways, opened the car door, walked out first, and got out of the way.

Jingfa did not linger and got out of the jeep neatly.

From the beginning to the present, Long Yuehong always forgot to close her mouth, feeling as if she was dreaming.

This is so weird and ridiculous!

Jingfa got out of the car and was about to put his palms together when Shang Jianyao stretched out his right hand first.

Jingfa hesitated for a second and also extended his right palm.

A flesh-colored human palm and a huge palm made of black metal skeleton were held together like this.

Shang Jianyao gently shook his palm twice and took it back.

He immediately sat back in the back seat of the jeep and closed the door.

Jian Jingfa, the mechanical monk, still stood there without moving. Shang Jianyao raised his right hand again and shook it left and right through the open window.

"Goodbye!" he shouted sincerely.

Jingfa, who was wearing monk robes and cassocks, responded quickly and shook his palms:

"goodbye."

There was no need for Shang Jianyao to remind him. Bai Chen, who had already sat back in the driving position, kicked the accelerator and made the jeep fly.

Jiang Baimian didn't speak, and he didn't let Bai Chen make a sound. He just watched the mechanical monk wearing yellow monk's robes and red cassocks in the rearview mirror getting smaller and farther away.

When he could no longer see this extremely terrifying member of the monk sect, Jiang Baimian silently calculated the distance and asked in a lowered voice:

"How long can this effect last?"

Shang Jianyao didn't have to worry about anything and answered calmly:

“If the people, examples, and circumstances around him keep feeding him the same answers, he will remain unaware of them until he discovers contrary arguments or results.

"But now, there is no one else around him who tells him that we are friendly, so there is no way to form a circular proof. In five minutes or less, he should be able to detect the abnormality. After all, he must remember that there are people in our team. There are two women, and he knows his attitude towards women very well."

Long Yuehong's mouth has not closed yet. Listening to Shang Jianyao's explanation is like listening to a radio show host telling a story.

Jiang Baimian had no nonsense and immediately turned his head and said:

"Bai Chen, stop the car and let's change places."

"Team leader, I'm more familiar with the Black Marsh Wilderness." Bai Chen argued with reason and stepped on the brakes without resistance and quite gently.

Jiang Baimian did not rush to explain. He opened the car door first, walked around to the driver's seat, and exchanged positions with Bai Chen.

After the jeep started moving again, she looked ahead and said:

"I have been genetically modified and gained some unique abilities."

Hearing these words, Bai Chen, Long Yuehong, and Shang Jianyao were all shocked.

Even within Pangea, genetic modification technology is far from mature, and the failure rate is quite high. No volunteers are willing to try it unless they have no other options.

"This was done to save lives at that time, and it was together with the transplantation of biological prostheses." Jiang Baimian quickly explained, "There is a special cell in my body that can sense electric field signals within a certain range, while humans and beasts During activity, muscle contraction and certain reactions will produce weak electrical signals, so as long as the enemy enters a certain range, no matter whether he is hiding or not, I can easily find his location and his status."

"No wonder you noticed the relic hunter wearing an exoskeleton coming earlier than I did..." Bai Chen suddenly realized.

Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong also understood a previous doubt:

When they first slept outdoors, Shang Jianyao clearly found traces of humans, but Jiang Baimian was not curious at all and did not mobilize everyone to search the surroundings - she should have already grasped the characteristics and status of the human and made a judgment.

Jiang Baimian quickly added while driving:

"The black swamp iron snake was in a dormant state similar to hibernation. The electrical signal was very weak. I thought it was just an ordinary animal and failed to detect it in advance. But Jingfa is a mechanical monk, and his body movements rely on very strong electricity. I could detect the signal from further away and judge what he probably wanted to do.

"I was actually prepared before he attacked just now. I deliberately asked Bai Chen to slow down the car to induce him to attack, hoping to seize the opportunity to destroy him or severely injure him.

"I didn't tell you before that Jingfa has always been a persevering mechanical monk. If you are targeted by him, you will definitely be chased all the way. That would be too dangerous. The best way is to beat him and make him lose control in a short time. The ability to catch up, but unfortunately, I didn't expect that he was still an awakened person. A mechanical monk was also an awakened person at the same time, which almost caused everyone to die together.

“At this point, I need to apologize.

"When Jingfa comes after me, he will definitely try a long-range attack. Only I can detect it in advance and let the vehicle take evasive actions in time. Well, it is definitely too late to give guidance through words."

Bai Chen nodded, expressing understanding:

“I will pay attention to the road conditions ahead and to the left and right, and tell you in advance which direction you cannot go.

"How about using time as a proxy?"

There were five bloody fingerprints on the back of her neck, which looked terrifying.

"Okay." Jiang Baimian lowered the speed and allowed the jeep to smoothly bypass an obstacle.

At the same time, she looked in the rearview mirror and said:

"Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong, please hurry up and decide who will wear the exoskeleton device. Next, the person wearing the exoskeleton device will be the main force against Jingfa."

Before Long Yuehong could speak, Shang Jianyao said firmly:

"I come."

He looked at Long Yuehong, who was trying to argue, and explained simply:

"Jingfa is also an awakened person. You can't balance him in this aspect, and I need an exoskeleton device to help me close the distance."

"...Okay." Long Yuehong stood up and bent down, and together with Shang Jianyao, dragged the exoskeleton device from the trunk to where he was sitting.

Then, he helped Shang Jianyao get dressed.

"Remember to replace the backup high-performance battery." Jiang Baimian reminded.

Because there are very few big forces that can produce truly high-performance batteries. There are only two "Orange Company" and "Future Intelligence". The others can at best produce some fake and shoddy products, which are only suitable for civilian use within their own sphere of influence. Therefore, the high-performance batteries of many military equipment are interoperable - a 50% probability, and this time the old adjustment team was quite lucky. The high-performance batteries needed by the jeep and the high-performance military exoskeleton device Batteries are standard products produced by "Future Intelligence".

"Yeah." Shang Jianyao didn't dare to be careless in this regard.

After replacing the battery, Shang Jianyao, carrying the energy backpack and metal frame, bent down and buckled the buckles of the auxiliary joints, and asked:

"Team leader, why did you suddenly fail when you invaded Jingfa's internal system?"

He suspected that it was one of the awakened abilities of Jingfa.

And he already knows two types:

"The Path of Hungry Ghosts" and "Thinking Through Others".
