Embers Ad Infinitum

After hearing Shang Jianyao's reminder, Long Yuehong subconsciously gave suggestions:

"Go somewhere else?"

This ruin is said to be small, but compared to Iron Mountain City, Marsh No. 1 Ruins, and Wasteland No. 13 Ruins, it was actually enough to accommodate three to four hundred thousand people in the old world.

In such a big place, the two teams can completely occupy one side without interfering with each other, and they may not even know that the other side exists.

With the current strength of the "Old Tune Team", Long Yuehong is really not afraid of conflicts, he just doesn't like to engage in meaningless battles.

On the dusty land, everyone is very tired from living, and there is no need to get together, fearing each other, and speaking insincerely.

——If in the old world, these two teams would have bumped into each other, and maybe they could hold a party in line with Shang Jianyao's wishes. But in today's dusty world, order only exists between the major forces. Settlement exists, meeting in the wild, weakness is the original sin.

There are countless greedy people, because those who are not greedy will probably starve to death in a few days.

Bai Chen, who was driving, glanced at the side:

“It can wait a little.

"Wait until you are closer to those people, then go around to other buildings."

Uh, why... Long Yuehong's mind raced, thinking about Xiaobai's intention.

Soon, he figured out the specific reason:

Making a U-turn or detour at this time seems safe, but in fact it will expose some problems.

It's a good thing that the team of nearly twenty people didn't have awakened people at the "soul corridor" level. If there had been, then he would have found that the "intruder" had changed its direction a hundred meters away in a straight line.

This allowed him to easily draw a conclusion:

There is a high probability that among the visitors there are awakened ones at the "soul corridor" level, and the sensing range is about 150 meters!

This means that the two parties have not yet contacted each other, but they have figured out one-third of the strength of the "Old Adjustment Team" and grasped the maximum range of Shang Jianyao's capabilities.

According to Bai Chen's approach, the "Old Tune Team" will behave more like a team with some strength but not too much strength, making the other side think that there are indeed awakened ones among them, but they are still in the "Sea of ​​Origin" , and waited until the distance between the two parties was close to thirty or forty meters before they felt anything.

As a result, the maximum range of Shang Jianyao's abilities was covered up, and the strength of the "old tune team" was greatly underestimated. Once that team wanted to do something against them, the results could be imagined.

Bang bang bang, Shang Jianyao applauded Bai Chen's plan and said "literally":

"This is a plan to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger!"

At this time, the jeep was going around several buildings along the "round the island" road, and the straight-line distance from the team that Shang Jianyao sensed did not change much.

Why use such a vulgar name? It makes Xiaobai look very insidious and cunning... Long Yuehong silently criticized Shang Jianyao in her heart.

There are obviously better words to describe it!

Jiang Baimian suddenly laughed:

“Actually, it’s not necessary.

"Xiao Bai, weren't you used to showing strength from a distance to intimidate the other party and avoid unnecessary conflicts?

"If they really want to be positioned as a relatively powerful team with ordinary awakened people, and they really have awakened people at the 'soul corridor' level, wouldn't it arouse their greed and actively provoke a more dangerous and dangerous battle? Why bother fighting when there may not be anything to gain?”

Bai Chen argued while driving:

“But this will expose the maximum scope of Shang Jianyao’s capabilities.

"This is one of the most important secrets of an awakened person."

Jiang Baimian nodded gently and said with a smile:

“So, we just need to turn within the range of 70 to 90 meters.

"This exceeds the limit of the 'Origin Sea', but it only touches the bottom of the 'Soul Corridor', making it easy for the other party to guess that there are awakened ones at the 'Soul Corridor' level among us, but the range of abilities is definitely more than that. That's a little bit.

"Let them use their own imagination as to how much it is. The unknown is the most shocking thing."

"Okay." Bai Chen changed his mind after thinking for a moment.

It's best this way, as there won't be any conflicts... Long Yuehong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Without knowing how strong the awakened ones in the "Old Tune Team" really are, unless that team has experts at the "New World" level, they certainly don't have much confidence in defeating them, so they can only choose to stay away from them.

As for the powerful people at the "New World" level, they have either escaped from the dust or have been sleeping for a long time. How can they be easily encountered...

"Stop! Stop your brain and stop thinking!" Shang Jianyao was suddenly frightened and turned his head to look at Long Yuehong.

"..." Long Yuehong held back her anger, "I didn't think about anything."

"Oh, that's not possible. Your brain will get rusty if you don't use it." Shang Jianyao shook his head.

Long Yuehong chose to remain silent.

Bai Chen followed the plan agreed upon by the four of them. After entering the 90-meter range of the target location, he turned the steering wheel and turned to the other side of the ruins of the city.

Nothing unusual happened along the way.

Shang Jianyao began to think about a question and raised it:

"What if that team doesn't have awakened people at the 'soul corridor' level, and is a more common hunter team or bandit gang?"

"..." Long Yuehong replied dully, "Then what we just did was to wink at the blind man."

"There's no need to worry about it." Jiang Baimian, who was in the passenger seat, was quite open-minded. "As the saying goes, it's better to be cautious than to indulge."

Not long after, the "Old Adjustment Team" found a building that looked quite solid and intact a few kilometers away from those people to take shelter from the rain.

After having a simple dinner using the electric kettle, Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian sat in the back seat, one leaning against the passenger seat, and fell into a deep sleep at the same time.

During this period of time, they each made considerable gains in their spiritual world.

Jiang Baimian had already mastered the application of several abilities, left the "Hall of Stars", entered the "Sea of ​​Origins", and landed on the first island of fear.

The performance of this island is that she will fall into coma as soon as she goes up, and will naturally exit the "Sea of ​​Origin" after being comatose for a long time.

Nearly two months have passed, and she still hasn't found a way to overcome this fear.

After Shang Jianyao broke through the psychological shadow involving "Tieshan City's Second Food Company", he was originally facing the second psychological shadow and was trying to find a way to board the long-abandoned cruise ship. However, the owner of the room seemed to notice To his exploration, by changing a certain environment, a warning was made.

Although this was not in line with the common sense of breaking through many psychological shadows and exploring the depths of the target's conscious world, which would cause the other party to have continuous nightmares and become aware of it, the polite Shang Jianyao still chose to leave.

After that, he set off to the "Old Tune Group". Based on the "strategy" provided by "Pangu Creatures", he found two nearby rooms and went through three psychological shadows each, which was considered an incomplete exploration.

If you continue to go deeper, the risks are too great and the rewards may not keep up. That "strategy" is not recommended.

Even so, Shang Jianyao's awakener ability has been significantly improved:

The range of "thought guidance" is still limited by the other party's ability to hear the corresponding sound clearly, but the effect of transmitting it to a distance through radio waves is much stronger;

The range of "Literary Youth and Hypocritical Man" has been increased to 110 meters, "Lack of limb movement" is 150 meters, interference electromagnetic is also 150 meters, and interference matter is 60 meters.

The extent of improvement in these abilities is not exactly the same, because different psychological shadows in different rooms have different tempering effects on different abilities.

As for the number of people affected, they all reached seventy.

This shows how good the psychological shadow effect of the "Tieshan City Second Food Company" is.

After leaving room "131", Shang Jianyao and the others came to the corridor covered with dark yellow carpet.

One of them looked at each other and said to himself in a heavy tone:

“You can’t always go to a room with a ‘guide’, that would be boring.

"How about we find one that's not recorded in the 'strategy' this time?"

"Oh, then why don't you go to rooms like '101' and '205'? Although there are guides, they are guaranteed to be exciting!" The cowardly Shang Jianyao sneered.

The common scene of "101" is a lunatic asylum, which is very dangerous. "205" is the dream of "Dawn" or "Zhuang Sheng", which is bizarre and extremely dangerous.

The honest Shang Jianyao immediately responded:

"First, '205' is too dangerous and not suitable for us now; second, the others are not nearby, and we don't know when we can find them."

"Three, if possible, I would really like to visit '101'." Shang Jianyao, who is seeking novelty and novelty, added.

After a while of arguing, Shang Jianyao finally reached an agreement:

Find a nearby room that is not recorded in the "guide" to explore.

With a casual glance, Shang Jianyao's eyes fell on the room with the house number "912".

It's not in the guide.

"We are destined to meet each other." Zen Master Pudu, a cyborg monk, turned the "Six Consciousness Pearl".

Shang Jianyao and others joined together and came to the "912" door, turned the handle and pushed it open.

As soon as he entered, Shang Jianyao saw a dark sea and a cruise ship covered with shellfish.

After a few seconds, he laughed:

"interesting……"

This psychological shadow looks exactly the same as the second psychological shadow in room "522"!
