Embers Ad Infinitum

Because he didn't know how long the wait would be, only Bai Chen, among the members of the "old tune team", put on the newer model of the "M-45" military exoskeleton device and stayed in a hidden spot with Long Yuehong. to save power.

At that time, if the prey escapes, she will cooperate with Gnawa and be responsible for catching it.

Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao were located in another place, and Gnawa was guarding one place alone. They kept their distance as much as possible to avoid being attacked and eaten in one fell swoop.

Although the target was an aberrant creature, Jiang Baimian still strictly followed the provisions of the tactical manual and made such an arrangement without any carelessness.

At the same time, Jiang Baimian prohibited the team members from applying liquid to prevent mosquito bites due to concerns about the sharp sense of smell of the canine giant white wolf, so as not to be discovered by the other party.

Although the purpose of "bait" is to be discovered, the discovery must be natural and reasonable, without any flaws.

It is normal for the ruins hunter not to think that the giant white wolf can sense human consciousness, and he will not be suspected. However, he does not even know how to cover up the smell on his body, and uses items with pungent smell when ambush the prey. It seems too stupid, or like It's a newcomer.

As for this kind of task, real newcomers would neither dare nor be able to take it on.

Jiang Baimian didn't know what level of intelligence the giant white wolf possessed, but if something was too abnormal, even ordinary beasts wouldn't take the bait. After all, not all animals are stupid roe deer.

The sun was rising little by little towards the middle of the sky, and Long Yuehong huddled in the grass, feeling humming sounds echoing around him.

Knowing his plan of action in advance, he wore long sleeves and long pants, but there were always areas on his body that could not be covered by the fabric. If he was not careful, a large, slightly red and swollen bump would pop up, which was itchy and painful.

He scratched the itch slightly to drive away the mosquitoes, and then became quiet again.

In this cycle, time passes slowly.

On the other side, Shang Jianyao did not hesitate to use the "Blind Ring" to increase his sensing range. Anyway, he was not hungry now, and there should be no chance to eat during the ambush.

Of course, he can't use it all the time. There is a limit to the number of times this thing can be used, unless he can find the corresponding "soul corridor" level awakener to recharge it.

He only uses it once every once in a while, and cooperates with Jiang Baimian's induction of bioelectric signals to monitor the situation at a relatively long distance.

Fortunately, if you only sense and don't use abilities, the consumption of items is not that big.

Suddenly, Jiang Baimian frowned slightly and said:

"Check it again."

Shang Jianyao raised his head and glanced at the blazing sun, making the black hair braided jewelry on his wrist once again shine like a burning light.

He immediately said:

“There’s a huge amount of human consciousness.”

Jiang Baimian thus confirmed what he sensed.

Is it another team of ruin hunters? Are they also here to ambush? Jiang Baimian subconsciously came up with such an idea.

But in an instant, she thought of herself and others who were "charmed" by Qiao Chu.

Many of the relic hunters who had captured the missing giant white wolf before found neither alive nor dead bodies... Jiang Baimian's heart moved, he picked up the walkie-talkie and issued an order:

"Change your position immediately and look for a bunker."

Without asking why, Bai Chen, Long Yuehong, and Gnawa quickly left their original ambush point and found a nearby place with a bunker but not so hidden.

Thanks to the habit of observing the environment and being familiar with the terrain, they already knew where to hide and where not to hide in the surrounding area, and they almost didn't waste time looking for it.

Just seven or eight seconds after they changed their positions, a group of people appeared in the nearby forest.

These people were dressed in rags, but they all held weapons in their hands, including rifles, submachine guns, grenade guns, and individual combat rocket launchers.

Long Yuehong glanced at them and found that none of these people had hunched backs, their expressions were not ferocious, and their eyes seemed normal, and they were not "unintentional people."

However, their faces were full of hatred, as if they were looking for enemies who wanted to kill their fathers and take away their wives.

At this moment, Long Yuehong's eyes suddenly solidified.

He saw an acquaintance.

Bob!

I chatted with him last night, Bob, who is determined to comfort female relic hunters!

This relic hunter who wanted to find the giant white wolf and change his life mixed with his companions among the group of people, holding rifles and looking at him with hatred.

It made him look so strange.

The next second, several rockets were launched, flying towards the three locations where the "Old Adjustment Team" was hiding.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the explosion, thanks to the protection of the bunker and early precautions, no one in the "Old Tune Team" was harmed.

Immediately afterwards, the group of ruin hunters rushed over with cheers and fired indiscriminately.

At this time, Jiang Baimian noticed with sharp eyes that there was a white figure in the forest!

That giant wolf!

It looks quite majestic, with green eyes.

"Old Ge, chase after me!" Jiang Baimian immediately gave the order.

In her opinion, with the firepower, cooperation and ability of the "Old Tune Team", it would not be a problem for even one Gnawa to deal with this messy group of ruin hunters. The only thing that needed to be considered was how many people could be saved in the end.

Gnawa thinks so too, and his analysis tells him that this is the best solution at the moment.

So, he rushed out, and with the sound of "dang-dang-dang", he rushed towards the forest.

Bai Chen, who was wearing a military exoskeleton device, also jumped out suddenly. At a height that exceeded the human limit, he aimed downwards with the submachine gun that came with the equipment.

Da da da.

She did not deliberately avoid the enemy's vital points, and completed the strafing in the fastest way.

The ruins hunter who ran towards her and Long Yuehong fell down like wheat.

A large number of the ruin hunters who were shooting and charging towards the area where Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao were hiding in the snow suddenly lost the ability to pull the trigger.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Baimian held the assault rifle, casually moved up, and completed a round of shooting without appearing.

However, every shot she fired was almost successful, as if there were a pair of eyes in the void helping her aim.

boom! boom! boom!

Shang Jianyao also pulled out two pistols and fired continuously at the group of ruin hunters.

He and Jiang Baimian also did not deliberately avoid the enemy's vital points. After all, they were both made of flesh and blood. Even if there was a stray bullet, they could not be careless. Holding back at this time was tantamount to self-harm.

Da da da!

The group of ruin hunters seemed to have lost their minds. Even though Bai Chen, who was wearing a military exoskeleton device, killed many of them in an instant, they still rushed forward and shot desperately. Two or three people approached Long Yuehong's hiding spot. .

Long Yuehong was no longer the immature newcomer she was back then. Taking advantage of the opponent's shooting gap, she picked up the "Berserker" assault rifle and fired a short burst.

A ruins hunter suddenly fell to the ground on his back, his chest was completely torn, and his body was almost disintegrated.

Long Yuehong immediately lowered his body and avoided the subsequent counterattack. Then, he locked onto another target.

But this time, he failed to pull the trigger in time.

That target is Bob.

It was the freckle-faced Bob who was chatting and laughing with him last night.

At this moment, Long Yuehong suddenly had the feeling that the two sides were getting along with each other, and she was facing him, and he was on the verge of death.

His fingers were unable to exert force for a moment.

The next second, Bob fired.

boom!

His rifle burst into flames.

Although Long Yuehong temporarily softened his heart and failed to shoot, he was still able to observe the situation and dodge in time. He retracted the bunker first and avoided the shot.

Bob then jumped over cover and in front of him, aiming his rifle at him again.

Long Yuehong regretted it, kicked her feet, exerted force on her waist and abdomen, and jumped out sideways.

Looking at Bob, who looked very unfamiliar with a look of hatred on his face, a sentence that the other party had said flashed in his mind:

"At that time, my parents will no longer have to work so hard, and my brother and sister will also be able to have a different life..."

As the thoughts flashed, Long Yuehong, who was somewhat flustered, pulled the trigger.

Click click click, the "Berserker" assault rifle fired several bullets.

At such a close distance, Bob did not dodge a single shot, and blood blossomed one after another on his body.

With a thud, he fell to the ground.

His expression first showed pain, then became confused.

When he saw Long Yuehong, he seemed to finally understand his situation and regain some clarity.

He opened his mouth, and a look of hope and pleading appeared on his face, like a drowning man trying to grasp the last straw.

But in the end, he didn't have time to say anything. In just a few seconds, he opened his eyes wide and lost his breath.

Long Yuehong glanced at him and without any further hesitation, she mounted the assault rifle on the bunker and fired at the remaining relic hunters.

After all the enemies were eliminated and fell to the ground, groaning in pain, or completely silent, Long Yuehong gasped for air, and his vision became blurry.

At this time, Gnawa's voice came back from the intercom:

"The target hid in a cave. It's very deep. I don't dare to chase him in for the time being."

Jiang Baimian glanced at the ruin hunters and the blood everywhere, and shouted to Long Yuehong:

"Xiao Hong, if you, Shang Jianyao, me, and I stay here, we can save as many as we can.

"Xiao Bai, you go and meet Lao Ge. Don't rush into the cave first and explore whether there are other exits around."

Bai Chen responded with action.

Wearing a military exoskeleton device, she disappeared into the forest in a few leaps.

After Long Yuehong finished breathing, she immediately ran to Bob's side, squatted down and tried to treat him.

But this relic hunter is dead.

On the other side, Shang Jianyao, who was treating the injured, suddenly said:

"This doesn't look like Qiao Chu."

Jiang Baimian had a flash of inspiration:

"yes!

"After the white wolf escaped, the 'charm' was still maintained!"

Those hunters are still "charging"!

This was obviously beyond the scope of its capabilities. After all, none of the four carbon-based people in the "Old Tune Team" felt that the other party had the charm to transcend beasts.

At that time, Qiao Chu's "charm" had to be effective within a certain distance.

"Lao Ge, Xiao Bai, please note that the target's ability is probably not 'charm', but a similar, more sustainable ability." Jiang Baimian immediately used the walkie-talkie to notify the other two members.

She and Shang Jianyao also speeded up the rescue of the slightly injured. As for the seriously injured, they really couldn't handle them. By the time they rescued them, most of them were already dead.

——The premise for them to treat the slightly injured person is that the other person has initially recovered and is no longer under the control of the white wolf.

"Huh, okay, Xiao Hong, let's go meet Lao Ge and the others now." After being busy for a while, Jiang Baimian stood up and shouted to Long Yuehong.

Long Yuehong nodded blankly.

Jiang Baimian saw this, thought for a while and said:

“No, there are so many people here, what if our car is stolen?

"You stay and watch."
