Embers Ad Infinitum

"A living person?" Waite blurted out, getting ahead of Long Yuehong.

In the ruins of this city, encountering living people who do not belong to your team and whom you do not know is much more strange and terrifying than encountering dead people, "unintentional people", and encountering aberrant creatures.

Long Yuehong thought so too.

Felinton held his shotgun and recalled:

"That street is similar to this one. It's dirty, messy and smelly. It hasn't been cleaned in I don't know how many years.

"There was a bench on the side of the road, and there was a man sitting on it. He, he was a gray man, wearing what the old world calls formal clothes, woolen, gray with black stripes.

"He looks less than thirty years old. His hair is neatly combed back, and he wears glasses with round and small frames on his face."

"This doesn't seem to be anything special..." Long Yuehong said after considering it.

When you meet such a person, even in such a dangerous ruin, you shouldn't just treat him as a monster. Maybe you should try to talk to him to see if the other person is friendly and can cooperate.

"There is really nothing special about him, except that he is still alive." Felinton breathed out, "But there is a huge python coiled on the tree behind him. The python's eyes are big and round, like two searchlights, and the color It looked like it was filled with blood... Its upper body hung down and rested on the back of the bench, like that person's guard...

"That's not the scariest thing. I, I saw that giant white wolf, it, it was squatting next to that person!"

At this moment, a name suddenly appeared in the minds of Jiang Baimian, Wang Fugui and others:

Wu Meng!

Wu Meng, the owner of the "Dao and Electrical Maintenance" radio station!

Doesn’t it mean that if you don’t go within one kilometer of the radio station and don’t carry electronic products, you’ll be fine? Didn't it mean that he was sealed? Why are you still wandering on the street? That direction was completely opposite to the location of the radio station. It must have been more than two kilometers away... Long Yuehong felt Felinton's panic at that time, and she felt it more deeply than the other person.

After all, Feilintong probably didn't know anything about the "Tao and Electrical Maintenance" radio station, and he didn't know how weird and scary Wu Meng was.

"The man was reading the newspaper and was very attentive, but both the white wolf and the python looked at me." Felinton continued, "I was frightened and ran this way while shouting for help."

You can see them. With Wu Meng's ability, it should be easy to control you. How could he let you escape? Jiang Baimian frowned slightly, noticing something was not normal.

There are two explanations for this. One is that Felinton was let go on purpose. In fact, he had been secretly influenced by Wu Meng and was waiting for the critical moment to fatally mislead the eight people here. The other is that it was not true. Wu Meng, but the image he created with the help of certain types of electronic products.

Combining the information given by the company and Jialolan's words just now, Jiang Baimian is more inclined to the latter.

Otherwise, with the strength and level shown by Wu Meng, there would be no need to use such a complicated plan and just come over directly.

The tendency is the tendency, but Jiang Baimian did not dare to be careless at all in actual handling.

She did not discuss the strange man's problem with Felinton, but solemnly asked:

“Do you have any electronics on you?”

Felinton was stunned for a moment:

"No.

"Why are you asking this?"

What's there to ask?

"It's okay if you don't have one." Jiang Baimian explained casually, "Here, electronic products are dangerous media."

"Really?" Although Felinton couldn't understand it, he had seen the white giant wolf control the group of ruin hunters before, so he was dubious about it. After getting a positive answer, he didn't ask why.

Compared with this, he is more concerned about another thing:

"Where is this place? You seem to be familiar with it?

"Is there any other exit?"

"Wasteland No. 13 Ruins." Wang Fugui answered concisely and concisely.

"Ah?" Felinton's pupils suddenly dilated.

There is almost no ruin hunter based in the First City who has never heard of the ruins of Wasteland 13 and its related rumors, unless he has just arrived here and plans to settle down.

Therefore, Felinton felt a little stupid for a while.

Jiang Baimian did not comfort him. He glanced at the direction Felinton had escaped from and said after careful consideration:

"Let's go back, take a slight detour, and continue to collect supplies on the way."

"Okay!" Waite once again got ahead of Long Yuehong.

For him, today was another great harvest. There was really no need to explore further and take unnecessary risks.

Others had no objections.

From what they just said, Felintong could tell that this group of people seemed to have a way out, and he felt much calmer.

While walking back step by step in tactical formation, Jiang Baimian smiled and said to Feilin:

"You have also seen that the giant white wolf can control humans and make them puppets. For everyone's safety, and to confirm whether you are yourself and whether you have been affected, I have to ask you a few questions."

"Do you know me?" Felinton heard the hidden meaning in Jiang Baimian's words and asked in surprise.

Jiang Baimian answered in a rather awkward way:

“Meet people who know you.

"Well, first question, what's your name?"

"Felinton." Felinton replied calmly.

"Second question, do you know a sect that worships mirrors?" Jiang Baimian got to the point.

Hearing this, Wang Fugui and Gray also looked at Felinton.

"Yes." Felinton suddenly realized, "Are you Terence's friends?"

He remembered that he had only mentioned this matter to Terrence and a few other people, and among these people, Terrence had the most friends.

"No, he is our creditor." Shang Jianyao looked serious.

But this creditor often trembles, fearing that he will be killed by the debtor... Long Yuehong laughed in his heart that Shang Jianyao's current performance was too hard.

Felinton did not ask how much they owed, but said thoughtfully:

"I do know of such a sect. Well, I know one of their followers and am quite familiar with him. He wanted to recruit me into the religion some time ago."

"What's his name and where he lives?" Jiang Baimian asked as he walked slowly forward and observed his surroundings vigilantly.

"His name is Smith." He was under the eaves and had to lower his head. Felinton had no intention of hiding it from his friend. "He lives in Room 503, No. 9 Harley Street, Golden Wheat Sheep District."

Shang Jianyao immediately asked:

“Do you know what their sacrament is?”

Felinton shook his head in confusion.

"No wonder you haven't joined them yet." Shang Jianyao said with an expression on his face: "I understand you very well."

"Who does this sect worship?" Jiang Baimian asked.

Felinton shook his head again:

"They don't seem to worship Zhi Sui, but worship the mirror. They always tell me, 'The new world is on the other side of the mirror.' They also say, 'You are looking at the person in the mirror, and the person in the mirror is also looking at you.' Every time I look in the mirror I feel awkward and even a little scared..."

Shang Jianyao listened with great interest, as if he had learned a new mantra.

After Felinton finished speaking, Jiang Baimian winked at Shang Jianyao and raised his right thumb and middle finger.

This represents a predetermined plan, which means going up to "make" friends or "persuading" the other party to eliminate hidden dangers.

Although Felintong had behaved normally and his words and deeds were reasonable until now, he had been in Ruin No. 13 for too many days, and Jiang Baimian did not dare to be careless at all.

Shang Jianyao immediately smiled at Felintong and said:

"Don't mind if we ask so many questions. Look: this is the ruins of Wasteland 13; everyone must be honest with each other, unite as one, and eliminate distrust in order to ensure their own safety to the greatest extent; so..."

These are words that can stand the test. Felinton nodded while listening. Wang Fugui, Waite and others did not think there was any mystery hidden in this.

When the word "so" was spoken, Felinton's expression suddenly twisted, as if it was covered with a layer of haze.

He moved his lips several times and said in a low voice:

"The more dangerous it is, the more risks you have to take. As the saying goes, the opposite is the way to go..."
