Embers Ad Infinitum

Just when Jiang Baimian lamented that the trouble was finally over and he could embark on his original journey, a slightly deep and powerful male voice sounded:

"When Jiang Baimian said these words, she did not realize that the matter was far from over. The waves of fate would push her to the opposite intersection..."

Jiang Baimian turned his head in shock and looked at Shang Jianyao:

"...Why did you suddenly say such things?"

Shang Jianyao looked serious:

"I just happened to think of such a sentence in my mind, maybe I sensed God's will in the dark."

When Jiang Baimian was suspicious, Long Yuehong said hesitantly:

"I seem to have heard this somewhere...

"Yes, in the previous radio show!"

Just changed the name!

The radio station under the entertainment department of "Pangu Biology" not only produces "news on the hour", but also has columns such as "bedtime music" and "story chat", which are one of the few spiritual enjoyments for employees.

Shang Jianyao's serious expression faded instantly, revealing a sunny smile:

"Don't you think that line is particularly touching in the scene just now?"

Jiang Baimian laughed dumbly:

"Can you still do lines?

"Hmm... Not bad, it seems everyone is in a good mood."

She glanced around and saw Bai Chen's expression was a little confused.

The petite girl stood there, not knowing how to join the conversation.

"Are you a little lonely? Do you feel like an outsider?" Jiang Baimian asked directly with a smile.

Bai Chen's expression changed a few times, and he instinctively pursed his lips:

"I am an outsider to begin with."

Because she is not a formal employee yet, and certain news on the radio cannot be leaked, there is no corresponding line in the area where she currently lives for those who are waiting to be promoted.

This caused her to be a little confused on related topics.

If she had not seen the loudspeakers used to issue orders in some settlements before, and heard the hourly time on the floor of the Security Department, she might not have understood what the word "broadcast" meant - just like many ruin hunters Everyone knows that a collapsed building in the ruins of a steel plant belongs to a radio station, but they don’t know what a radio station is.

"You can't say that. Many senior employees in the company, and even some managers, are from wilderness wanderers. When you become a regular employee, you can participate in unified marriage. By then, we will all be a family." Jiang Baimian He said with relief as if he was well prepared, "Besides, do you think it is the deep friendship between us or the deep friendship between me and the board members who have not had much contact with each other? We have experienced life and death together, and we are half-sisters. Why? Can you be considered an outsider?"

"What about us?" Shang Jianyao joked.

"You?" Jiang Baimian thought seriously for two seconds, "We can't talk about half-siblings for the time being. What if we get married together later, which one of you will get married with Bai Chen?"

Bai Chen heard that the senior wilderness wanderer who joined "Pangu Creatures" mentioned the matter of unified marriage. Hearing this, he couldn't help but look back and forth between Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong. His expressions didn't seem too happy.

"I understand, you feel a little inferior." Shang Jianyao seemed to understand what Bai Chen meant.

With Bai Chen's experience, knowledge and cultivation, the muscles on his face were slightly distorted at this moment, and he didn't know whether to spit back angrily or make a sound in anger and fun.

"Forget it. Only ambitious people can like you? Well, if you were mute and had disabled hands and feet, more people might like you." Jiang Baimian mocked you unceremoniously. .

When facing Shang Jianyao, she was not so cautious. Through these days of getting along with each other, she has initially confirmed that the other person has a strong heart and will not be really hit by similar words.

On the contrary, the same cannot be said for Long Yuehong.

As a team leader, Jiang Baimian has always understood that people are different and different people have different ways of getting along with each other.

This is one of the reasons why she is so popular in the Security Department.

Long Yuehong, who was originally a little inferior because of Bai Chen's observation and subsequent change in expression, was also amused by Shang Jianyao, and the slight haze that had just emerged in her heart instantly dissipated.

At this time, Bai Chen turned his head and said to Long Yuehong:

"I'm sorry, I just imagined the scene where you are my husband. It feels a bit weird and uncomfortable, but there is nothing else."

"It's okay, it's okay." Long Yuehong responded quickly.

Jiang Baimian asked with a smile:

"What if it doesn't feel weird?"

"Then find an opportunity to sleep with that person." Bai Chen said casually.

"Ah?" Long Yuehong looked shocked.

Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian moved their eyebrows in sync.

Bai Chen suddenly wanted to laugh for some reason:

“This is a common thing on dirt.

"If you like it, try to go to bed as soon as possible. If you wait until the next day, he or you may die due to various problems.

"Team leader, I always thought you were an experienced person, but it turns out..."

"Haha." Jiang Baimian laughed dryly, "My focus is not in this direction."

She immediately showed a thoughtful expression:

“This is something that should be recorded.

"This is a humanistic custom that was naturally formed on the dust due to the harsh living environment after the destruction of the old world."

After such a "discussion", Bai Chen inexplicably felt that the distance between himself and Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong, and Shang Jianyao had become much closer, and he truly felt like comrades who depended on each other for life and death.

——When she was a wanderer in the wilderness, she and many people experienced the test of life and death, but most of them were forced by the environment and situation. There was no friendship between the two parties at all. When they were out of danger In this situation, they may even attack each other. Therefore, although she had faced many crises with Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and others before, she only admired Jiang Baimian's quality, feared Shang Jianyao's ability, and sympathized with Long Yuehong's forced growth. Shang still maintained a considerable distance from them.

Just when Bai Chen was feeling emotional, Jiang Baimian suddenly turned his attention to her again and said with a smile:

"How is it? Do you really feel like a member of a team?"

Seeing Jiang Baimian's clear smile, Bai Chen couldn't help but close his eyes:

"Team leader..."

She didn't expect Jiang Baimian to be able to grasp her own mental state so accurately.

Jiang Baimian laughed and said:

“As a team leader, in addition to improving each of your abilities, you must also always pay attention to your psychological problems.

"Don't look at the fact that I usually mainly teach those two novices, no, a bastard and a novice. In fact, I have always paid attention to your feelings and performance. For a long time in the future, we will face countless challenges together. Danger, our backs need to be protected by each other, and our relationship must be deeper than that of biological sisters.

"I said before that every decision I make will try to ensure the survival of the team members. This sentence is not only said to Long Yuehong and Shang Jianyao, but also to you."

Bai Chen was silent there, pursed his lips, looked at Jiang Baimian, and didn't speak for a long time.

"It's a pity that you are a woman, team leader, otherwise I would sleep with you tonight."

It was not Bai Chen who said this, but Shang Jianyao, who deliberately pinched his voice next to him.

Bai Chen turned his head in astonishment and looked at this guy who always acted out of common sense.

"Help you dub the voice." Shang Jianyao nodded sincerely.

"I didn't think so!" Bai Chen retorted, his face obviously flushed.

"Just think so." Shang Jianyao tried his best to persuade.

"Shut up!" Jiang Baimian finally couldn't bear it anymore and yelled angrily and funnyly, "Can't you be more serious?"

Shang Jianyao moved his eyebrows:

"Most of the time I am serious, and a small part of it is to help liven up the atmosphere.

"There are also occasional times when I really can't control myself. I have a doctor's certificate!"

He said it confidently.

"Thank you!" Jiang Baimian responded with a bit of gritted teeth.

After the mechanical monk's purification, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong now somewhat guessed why Shang Jianyao's thinking occasionally went off the rails, so they did not pick up the topic and let it pass.

"After saying thank you," Jiang Baimian complained to Shang Jianyao again:

"Really, you've wiped out Bai Chen's emotions."

"..." Bai Chen didn't know whether to cry or laugh and glanced at the team leader, not wanting to continue this topic.

Don't talk about being moved!

How embarrassing!

Seeing that the atmosphere had been adjusted to normal, Jiang Baimian chuckled secretly, waved his hand and said:

"Let's go!"

Because they had already arrived at the hilly area where Black Rat Town was located, they did not return to the ruins of the steel plant, but headed directly to the southeast—the direction of their destination, Qifeng Town.

It is rainy in autumn. As the jeep drove towards noon, the clouds became thicker and thicker, the sky became darker and darker, and raindrops began to fall on the wilderness.

The rain was not heavy, but it created a hazy feeling out of thin air, causing Bai Chen, who was responsible for driving, to suddenly shrink his vision.

Not long after, the jeep came to a rather wide and seemingly deep river.

It is called the "Green River", named after a certain kind of green algae that always grows at the bottom of the river. It is the "mother river" of many creatures in the Black Marsh Wilderness.

At this time, the bridge over the Green River, which was already in disrepair, had broken off and most of it fell into the water.

"It looks like it was blown apart..." Jiang Baimian made a careful analysis and made a preliminary judgment, "Let's go downstream and take another bridge."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a person coming out from behind a certain bridge pier on the shore.

In the misty rain, this man was wearing a black windbreaker and a pair of gloves of the same color. He was about 1.8 meters tall and his hair was neatly combed back.

He carried a long, slightly weird-looking silver rifle on his back, held a black umbrella in one hand, and let the other hand droop, walking step by step toward the slowly approaching jeep.

Although they haven't seen the other party's appearance clearly yet, Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and others suddenly felt like they couldn't take their eyes away.

Bai Chen, who originally wanted to turn the steering wheel, subconsciously stopped and stepped on the brakes.

Not long after, the man came closer, revealing a handsome face with black hair, golden eyes, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes.

He knocked on the driver's seat window and said with a smile:

“Finally got rid of that passionate monster.

"Can you give me a ride?"
