Embers Ad Infinitum

If she had said this to others, Jiang Baimian would have definitely scolded Shang Jianyao, "Why don't you eat minced meat?" But since the target was Wang Fugui, she would just smile and watch without stopping him.

How could such a lone hunter, who was able to eat everywhere, still lack food and clothing?

Wang Fugui was stunned for a second and smiled slightly awkwardly:

"I have three sets of the same clothes and pants."

Shang Jianyao put on a posture of applause, with a look of admiration on his face:

"Your hobbies are really special."

Is this a hobby? This is a habit! It was like he was talking about something... Wang Fugui couldn't help but muttered a few words in his heart.

At this time, Jiang Baimian smiled and answered his original question:

"It would be best if you could exchange those items for Orei. Your share of the commission will definitely be indispensable. If not, it doesn't matter. We have our own channels in the First City."

The batch of items they harvested this time came from the dead relic hunters, mainly firearms and ammunition.

Arms have always been hard currency in the dust, and the "Black Shirt Party" will definitely welcome the use of such items to pay off debts.

Although this is not much, for the "Old Tune Team", it is worth a little bit.

The only inconvenience is that they take up a lot of space, and the "old tune group" itself carries quite a lot of things.

Wang Fugui nodded:

"Fly legs are also meat, I'll try to help with them."

He looked around and said with a smile:

"I heard from the surviving hunters that the white wolf escaped into a cave. The cave was very large, with a large amount of human food stored in it, and had multiple exits."

Jiang Baimian did not respond directly, but just added:

"One of the exits has been blown down, and many areas inside the cave should also be buried."

Shang Jianyao immediately looked at Wang Fugui and said without knowing what role he was playing:

"If Mingren doesn't say secret words, what exactly do you want to express?"

This time, he switched to the gray language to enhance the feeling.

Wang Fugui smiled:

"You can definitely see that that cave may contain quite a lot of secrets, or it may lead to some unknown base. Once found, the harvest will be absolutely huge, and may even exceed the value of the White Wolf itself.

"Haha, this also allows me to see the weird charm of that aberrant creature.

"A few friends and I are going to explore in a few days. Do you want to come with us?"

He showed enough goodwill that he could cooperate with the "old tune group".

"We have this plan ourselves, but there is no need for everyone to get together." Jiang Baimian said after some consideration, "We don't want much, mainly the various information that may exist, and you can also make a copy."

As she spoke, she laughed:

"There must be a lot of supplies and information there. I believe it should be able to satisfy everyone."

She had no intention of cooperating with Wang Fugui and the others, but she also showed the open attitude of the "old tune team" and gave a bottom line that would not cause conflicts.

Wang Fugui nodded without changing his smile:

"Yes, similar ruins can't be emptied out within a year and a half."

The two sides have a certain tacit understanding on this matter.

Wang Fugui looked back at the main building of the castle and said with curiosity:

"You didn't restrain the survivors and told them not to tell others about their experiences. With the strength you have shown, there is a high probability that they will listen and comply."

Jiang Baimian smiled and said "Oh!"

"I was so confused at the time that I forgot about it."

Wang Fugui looked at her deeply, smiled and said:

"I have already done this for you, otherwise the garrison in the camp will know, which will lead to the interference of the 'First City', and their elite team will not be weaker than yours."

"Thank you." Jiang Baimian's smile was extremely sincere.

Wang Fugui said nothing more, exchanged a few pleasantries, turned around and walked back to the main building of the castle.

"Team leader, why didn't you warn the survivors at that time?" Long Yuehong asked curiously as she watched Wang Fugui go away.

Jiang Baimian glanced at him and said with a leisurely smile:

“Who knows what secrets and dangers there may be in that kind of place? Wouldn’t it be nice to have these powerful loners and the elite team from the ‘Primary City’ to help us explore the way first?

"Large troops cannot enter the mountains, and until a shocking secret is revealed at the target location, no one should be able to stop us from exploring.

"Hey, it's a pity that Wang Fugui doesn't think so..."

Looking at the team leader's charming smile, Long Yuehong once again felt like she had grown horns, spread her wings, and raised her tail.

This time, Shang Jianyao did not applaud Jiang Baimian. He focused on places such as Kos Bar.

At the same time, he touched his belly with one hand and gave a hint.

"It's almost time for dinner..." Jiang Baimian understood instantly and looked up at the sky.

At this moment, another figure walked towards where they parked their car.

That was Waite who was sure that he had lost all his companions.

The relic hunter had shaved his beard cleanly, and his brown hair had obviously been taken care of, making him look much fresher.

He solemnly saluted Jiang Baimian and others:

"Thanks."

Jiang Baimian raised his eyebrows:

"Two of your companions died at our hands."

Waite sighed and said:

"I also hated you a little at first, and hated you for not holding back. But after I calmed down and thought about it, I realized that if it were me, in that situation, I couldn't take care of other things and could only choose to ensure my own safety first.

"The king is right. It was the giant white wolf that really killed them, not you. If I want to take revenge, I must find out who the real enemy is."

"This is a common saying among us Gray-Turks: Every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner." Shang Jianyao helped explain while rubbing his stomach.

Jiang Baimian nodded:

"I wish other people could be as sane as you."

Waite did not continue the topic and instead said:

“I thank you because you agreed to let me take back their relics and not keep them as trophies.

"On behalf of myself and their families, thank you."

When cleaning the battlefield, Jiang Baimian asked his dead companions who were still alive to collect the relics.

If no one claims it, it will be taken back to the "Old Tune Team" as a trophy.

——At that time, no one dared to pretend to be the companion of the deceased in front of them.

"I hope those relics can be returned to their relatives." Long Yuehong couldn't help but interjected.

Waite nodded:

"I will leave here tomorrow morning, take the relics back, and then return to work with Wang and the others to explore the cave."

"I wish you good luck." Jiang Baimian did not shy away from his blessings.

After seeing off Waite, the "Old Tune Team" went to Kos Bar and enjoyed a barbecue.

The meat quality of the prey that could be left in the advancing camp was not very good, but the smell of several plants in the mountains effectively covered up the smell, and Shang Jianyao and others still ate with gusto.

"It's just too bad." Shang Jianyao expressed emotion.

When leaving the bar and returning to the parking area, Jiang Baimian deliberately lagged a few steps behind and walked side by side with Long Yuehong.

She asked casually:

"After taking care of that group of ruin hunters, I see that you are not in the right state. Did something happen?"

Long Yuehong was silent for a few seconds, talked about Bob, mentioned his family situation, his ideals and "willingness", and finally said:

"In the end he died under my gun..."

Jiang Baimian said "hmm":

"Killing someone you know and is okay is definitely different from killing a stranger and a bad person. I can understand your feelings.

"I can only tell you that in that case, there is no problem with your final choice."

Speaking of this, Jiang Baimian smiled:

“Are you feeling sorry for Bob’s parents, brother and sister?

"But why don't you think about it, if you hesitated, hesitated, and died under his gun, how would your father, mother, brother, and sister react?"

Long Yuehong's expression suddenly changed.

Jiang Baimian continued:

"So, for them, you have to work hard to survive and face everything with ruthlessness."

Long Yuehong was silent again, and then said after more than ten seconds:

"Team leader, I probably understand. I will adjust my mentality quickly."

"That's good." Jiang Baimian didn't say any more, smiled and quickened his pace, catching up with Bai Chen.

At this time, Shang Jianyao deliberately slowed down and walked alongside Long Yuehong.

"What do you want to do?" Long Yuehong looked suspicious.

Is this guy also coming to relieve himself?

Shang Jianyao replied with a smile on his face:

"To laugh at you."

Then, he looked at Long Yuehong and said:

"Ha ha.

"Ha ha.

"Ha ha."

After laughing three times, Shang Jianyao immediately distanced himself from Long Yuehong.

"..." Long Yuehong grinded her teeth for a while and resisted the urge to curse.

After this incident, he found that his condition had improved inexplicably.

…………

At noon the next day, five people from the "Old Tune Group" entered Kos Bar again.

At a glance, they saw Wang Fugui again.

Wang Fugui was sitting with several ruin hunters, wondering what they were discussing.

After discovering the "Old Tune Group", Wang Fugui smiled and said hello:

“Why didn’t anyone leave a caboose?

"You have so many supplies, but some people take desperate risks. Alarms and surveillance cameras cannot stop them."

Shang Jianyao responded immediately:

"I can let them run fifty meters first."
