Embers Ad Infinitum

Zeng Duo watched Han Wanghuo and the others disguise themselves and walk out of the room, then withdrew his gaze, walked step by step to the living room window, and looked out.

"This is seven or eight stories high..." she said slightly surprised.

The experience of a ruin hunter like her is to choose the second or third floor facing the street, so that it is easier to jump out of the window and escape.

It was a rare opportunity to explain to others, Long Yuehong said immediately:

"This is called doing the opposite. In this way, it will not become the main target of large-scale investigations."

"But since it's an investigation, they will come up sooner or later." Zeng Duo was still a little confused.

"At that time, we were already aware of such a thing and made preparations in advance." Long Yuehong suddenly realized the mood of the team leader who usually explained to him.

With a little complacency, a little fun, and a little expectation, I hope that the goal can be understood by itself without having to explain it in such detail.

Zeng Duo frowned slightly:

"Then how to escape?"

"With a military exoskeleton device, this height is nothing." Bai Chen said simply.

In particular, there are balconies, pipes and various protrusions outside the building. It is not easy for people wearing military exoskeleton devices to climb down from the seventh or eighth floor.

Hearing this answer, Zeng Duo felt like he was acting like a country bumpkin.

Affected by the previous shock, her physical condition was not very good. She pointed to the single sofa in the living room and asked politely:

"Can I sit down?"

"You don't need to be too reserved." Bai Chen was still looking out the window.

She was using the height of the building to observe the surrounding neighborhoods.

This is also the reason why the "Old Tune Team" chose to rent on a high floor. They have snipers and they know the importance of the commanding heights very well.

The existence of military exoskeleton devices allows them to not worry about evacuation routes.

Hearing Bai Chen's answer, Zeng Duo smiled:

"But you can't think of yourself as the master."

Living quite well, quite transparent... Long Yuehong thought for a long time and finally came up with an adjective from the old world entertainment information.

Bai Chen turned around and looked at Zeng Duo, who was sitting down slowly:

"These are the only questions you have?"

Don't care about the origin and purpose of the "Old Tune Group"?

Zeng Duo thought for a few seconds, laughed at himself and said:

“I don’t have much longer to live and there’s no point in caring about this.

"As long as I can save everyone in the town, nothing else matters to me."

Bai Chen pursed his lips and said nothing more.

…………

Inside a jeep that starts slowly.

Jiang Baimian, who was driving, glanced at the rearview mirror, smiled and said to Han Wanghuo:

"You seem to have known that we were looking for you?"

Han Wanghuo, who was on the left side of the back row, nodded slowly:

"right."

"Then why didn't you contact us?" Shang Jianyao from the passenger seat asked.

Han Wanghuo fell silent and did not answer.

Jiang Baimian smiled:

"It doesn't matter. Say whatever you want. We are all in the same boat, so there is no need to be so open-minded."

Han Wanghuo turned his head and looked at Gnawa next to him, frowned slightly and said:

"Why are you looking for me?"

"Care about you and observe you." Shang Jianyao said words that could no longer be true.

How the other party understands it is another matter.

Han Wanghuo did not ask further questions, but raised his hand to touch the scar on his face:

"I don't think we are very familiar, and being too eager will only make people wary.

"You are also from the Gray Earth. You should know a common saying: If you show courtesy for nothing, you are either committing adultery or stealing."

Jiang Baimian laughed:

"Do you think you have anything worth stealing?"

Han Wanghuo stopped talking.

Jiang Baimian could actually tell that Han Wanghuo must have been injured in the past by someone who claimed to be his friend, and one or both of the two scars on his face were left in this way, so he was so wary of approaching for no reason.

Moreover, with his awkward personality, he probably doesn't want his fragile state to be exposed in front of us... As Jiang Baimian's thoughts turned, Shang Jianyao laughed and said:

"If it's rape, I think no matter which one, you're not at a disadvantage. Well, Xiaohong can discuss it further."

Han Wanghuo did not pick up the topic, but said with emotion:

"There are other reasons. For example, your origins are unclear, and I'm afraid of getting involved in bigger troubles. Well... your mental state is not quite right, so I'm more worried."

"Only him, thank you." Jiang Baimian quickly replied.

She didn't want to be in a group with a certified guy.

Shang Jian Yao looked puzzled:

"We are normal. What on earth gave you the illusion that our mental state is not right?"

Han Wanghuo thought that "we" referred to "Xue Shiyue, Qian Bai, Gu Zhiyong" and others. Without delving into the matter, he asked thoughtfully:

"Do you really want to help?"

Now that the conversation had begun, he felt it was still necessary to ask things clearly.

In this regard, he didn't have too many scruples because it was about his life.

"You hope it's fake?" Shang Jianyao asked with a smile.

Han Wanghuo was silent and said:

"Why?"

Shang Jianyao replied seriously:

"One, we are friends."

Friend... Han Wanghuo opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

"Second, we have indeed caused you trouble, disrupted your arrangements, and made your hope of completing the mission slim." Shang Jianyao continued.

Although Han Wanghuo did not dare to say this out loud, he did think so in his heart.

Shang Jianyao's expression gradually became serious:

"Third, our ideal is to save all mankind.

"Those people in Chuchun Town are also members of the human race, and they haven't done anything bad."

Han Wanghuo once again determined that there was something wrong with the other party's mental state.

At this time, Jiang Baimian casually continued:

"Besides, we have to go out of town to avoid the limelight, so we can do you a favor."

Han Wanghuo's eyes shifted back and forth between the man and the woman several times, and finally gave up questioning.

"Want to listen to some music?" Shang Jianyao asked enthusiastically.

He had already taken out the small speaker from his tactical backpack.

"No need." Han Wanghuo cautiously rejected his proposal.

Shang Jianyao sighed in disappointment and turned to Gnawa:

"Lao Ge, stop pretending, we are all friends."

Playing the role of an ordinary robot, Gennava, who had not interrupted until now, moved his metal joints and said with a red light in his eyes:

"If there are corresponding tutorials and instruments, I can try to do an organ transplant."

Han Wanghuo suddenly turned sideways and looked at the robot.

"It, it is an intelligent robot in the medical field?" Han Wanghuo asked Xue Shiyue and Zhang Qubing in surprise.

This kind of functional and life-like robot only exists in large forces. For small teams, it is too luxurious and has too single ability.

"No, I am a truly intelligent robot, with the same learning ability as humans and higher efficiency." Gnawa stretched out his silver-black metal palm to Han Wanghuo, "Get to know Gnawa, I used to Mayor Tarnan, the first president of the 'Underground Ark' Management Committee."

Han Wanghuo was stunned for a while after hearing this, and it took him a long time to realize:

"Are you from 'Mechanical Paradise'?"

As the police chief of Hongshiji and the captain of the town guard, he still knew enough about "Mechanical Paradise" and Tarnan. He just didn't expect that Xue Shiyue's team actually abducted a real intelligent robot.

He looked at Gnawa's metal palm that never took it back, hesitated for a moment, and shook hands with him.

"Yes." Gennava simulated a human and sighed.

Han Wanghuo was waiting to ask again when he suddenly discovered that there was something wrong with the route the vehicle was traveling on:

"Isn't this going to Antana Street?"

Antana Street is in the northwest direction, close to the factory area, and the Jeep is now driving northeast. Although this will still reach the green olive area, it is already a bit different.

"Go somewhere else to do some errands first." Jiang Baimian replied with a smile.

After a long time, the jeep parked outside Ugo's Hotel.

"Let's go in together, Laoge Caboose." Jiang Baimian nodded to Han Wanghuo.

Seeing them coming in, Ugo said nothing and took out an old blue bag.

"You want it." He pushed the slightly bulging bag to Jiang Baimian.

Contained here are the six thousand ores promised by General Phocas.

Shang Jianyao took the small bag, unzipped it, glanced at it casually, and threw it into the tactical backpack without counting.

The amount was not small... Han Wanghuo made this judgment just by glancing at the banknotes at the zipper with the corner of his eye.

"Can I help you?" Ugo seemed to be asking for General Phocas, "I think you have been in a bit of trouble lately."

Jiang Baimian smiled:

"Not yet, but I may have to ask for your help later to get us out of the city safely."

She clicked this sentence first so that General Phocas could make some preparations.

"Okay." Ugo replied calmly.

Jiang Baimian said no more, turned and walked outside.

Although she, Shang Jianyao and Han Wanghuo had all disguised themselves, it was not convenient to stay in the hotel lobby for a long time where people might come and go at any time.

After completing this matter, they still did not go to Antana Street, but came to Stern Street in the Red Wolf District to visit Terrence, the second boss of the "Black Shirt Party".

This time, Han Wanghuo and Gnawa stayed in the car together.

Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao entered through the back door. Only a brother from the "Shang Jianyao Brotherhood" saw them and helped them open the door and lead the way.

"This is the last six thousand Orei." Jiang Baimian took out the cash he just received and pushed it to Terrence.

She didn't use the little blue bag.

Terrence did not accept the money immediately, but looked back and forth between Xue Yiyue and Zhang Qubing with a dazed and surprised look.

He already knew that his good friends were being hunted down by the "Hand of Order", and he thought that they would never dare to show up again, and the money they owed would never be paid.

Who knew that even though they were in danger, they didn't forget to pay back the money and took the risk to pay back the money!

What kind of spirit is this!

Jiang Baimian reminded with a smile:

"Our robotic arm."

Terrence came back to his senses and said with regret:

"You can wait until the situation calms down before paying back..."

It would be best not to return it forever. In that case, it would be equivalent to him buying a T1 multifunctional robotic arm with 6,000 Ore.

This is a huge profit!

"No, you have to keep your word." Shang Jianyao responded righteously.

"Okay." Terrence counted the banknotes and reluctantly went to the safe upstairs to take out the mechanical arm of the "Old Tune Team".

After this item was brought back to the car, Han Wanghuo's eyes were a little straightened when he saw it.

"If we can get a new model of robotic arm, we will be able to get a mechanical heart." Jiang Baimian said with a smile, "Hey, I'm just afraid that we won't have enough time."

Without waiting for Han Wang's response, she said to Shang Jianyao, who was taking turns driving:

"You can go to Antana Street now."
