Embers Ad Infinitum

Long Yuehong and Bai Chen were silent, with their thoughts racing, when Shang Jianyao suddenly raised his head and laughed.

"Why are you laughing?" Gnawa asked very cooperatively.

Shang Jianyao smiled and said:

"Things involving the reasons for the destruction of the old world and the secrets of the 'new world', without some arrangement, can only mean that we have deviated from the right path."

He changed the commonly used rhetoric of the source of "unintentional illness" to "New World" secrets, because the "Old Tune Group" has initially determined that "unintentional illness" originated from the "New World", but it is not clear where it is in the "New World" What is its position and what its essence is.

After listening to Shang Jianyao's words, Jiang Baimian did not refute, nodded gently and said:

"The company obviously hopes to make some fuss about these things, otherwise it would not send out one 'old tune team' after another.

"My current question is: is the company's true purpose to investigate the cause of the destruction of the old world and the secrets of the 'new world', and to prepare for similar crises in the future, or does it want to get involved in the muddy waters of the 'new world'?" Get on the pole and gain some kind of benefit?"

Long Yuehong thought for a long time and only came to one conclusion:

It's possible.

If the strong people who enter the "new world" can pass the secrets of the "new world" to the dust without restriction, then the company must have the second idea, but it is obvious that the strong people who enter the "new world" are subject to certain restrictions. Constraints may be based on rules or threats.

"It may be a combination of both situations." Bai Chen expressed his thoughts.

Bang bang bang, Shang Jianyao clapped his hands:

"right!

"After investigating the reasons for the destruction of the old world and figuring out the secrets of the 'new world', the company may be able to carve out a niche in the 'new world' and gain more benefits. This is exactly how to deal with similar crises in the future. Prepare."

Jiang Baimian nodded:

"No matter what, if we continue to pursue the cause of the destruction of the old world and the secrets of the 'new world', we will definitely encounter greater and greater dangers. Our current situation is like crossing a big river, finally seeing the middle stream, only to find that the ship has started to There is water leakage, lack of preparation in all aspects, and ignorance, which is like a demining device."

She then looked at Shang Jianyao and said seriously:

"I plan to go to Taicheng to explore the Buddhist holy land, and then return to the company to see if the current harvest can squeeze more information from the board of directors.

"When we have a better understanding of the 'New World' and are more fully prepared, we will set off again. First, we will look for the remaining Buddhist holy land, and then go to the city where your father last appeared."

The place where "Wuxin" destroyed it.

Shang Jianyao was silent for a while, then replied in a slightly lower voice:

"good."

Jiang Baimian said "hmm" and turned his attention to Long Yuehong and Bai Chen.

Of course, Long Yuehong was in favor of being able to go home early. Bai Chen just wanted to act with the team and didn't care where he went.

After looking away from them, Jiang Baimian ordered:

"Each of us recharge our batteries and wait for the transfer."

She actually has a longer-term plan in mind than anyone else thinks, and plans to keep Bai Chen and Long Yuehong in the company after returning to "Pangu Biology" this time.

In Jiang Baimian's view, as they are not awakened, the risk factor will definitely become higher and higher in the investigation that becomes more and more in-depth and more and more involved in the "new world". If they continue, they may not be able to protect themselves. question.

After several members of the "old tune group" found their seats and sat down, Shang Jianyao suddenly started playing again.

He looked at Bai Chen and asked eagerly:

"Will you drive, me, or Xiaohong come?"

In short, there is no share of Jiang Baimian.

As for Gnawa, let him save some power as much as possible.

"I'll do it, you focus on preventing accidents." Bai Chen had no complaints about the division of labor within the team, nor did he feel inferior.

"I can come, too." Long Yuehong wasn't too sure why Shang Jianyao had to confirm this matter now.

"Then Xiaobai." Shang Jianyao ignored Long Yuehong's answer, then took off his tactical backpack, took out a small speaker with a blue background and black surface, and handed it to Bai Chen.

Bai Chen looked at him doubtfully. Although he didn't speak, it was better than asking a question.

Frankly speaking, Jiang Baimian couldn't guess what this guy was thinking this time. He only roughly understood that his intention was to let Xiaobai play songs while driving.

The next second, Shang Jianyao smiled so much that he showed his white teeth:

"Remember to play some music while you're driving. I've turned the volume up to the maximum."

"You want to have background music during the battle?" Bai Chen tried to understand this matter from the perspective of a mentally ill patient.

Most likely... Long Yuehong thought that she had a certain understanding of Shang Jianyao.

Shang Jianyao shook his head:

"I want to attract the attention of the 'Doctor', and if he can indeed make it, let him know that we are here, retreating southwest along the Moonscale River.

"In this way, he will not attack ordinary people who are evacuated from the other direction because he cannot find us."

At this second, Long Yuehong suddenly felt that the sun was a bit dazzling and couldn't help but tilt her head.

Dang Dang Dang, Gnawa applauded without hesitation.

As an intelligent person, protecting humans is one of his responsibilities.

Jiang Baimian also deeply felt what noble sentiments and pure integrity meant, and for a moment he felt that his "smallness" under the leather robe was being revealed.

She muttered in her mind:

The only problem is, this guy is a psychopath...

At this time, Shang Jianyao suggested again:

"How about I borrow a car from the Salvation Army? Then I will drive it myself and play songs by myself to attract the attention of the 'Doctor'."

"No need." Bai Chen replied firmly.

Jiang Baimian also shook his head and groaned:

"Are you trying to trap us into injustice?"

Shang Jianyao looked surprised:

"Isn't this a very simple plan? I'm responsible for attracting attention, and you are responsible for the ambush."

This...which Shang Jianyao is this! Jiang Baimian took a breath and said:

"No need, if 'Doctor' really comes, the first target to attack will definitely not be us, but the sleeping one in Wubei.

"If we don't restrict him, influence him, or bypass him, 'Doctor' shouldn't be able to deal with us directly.

"Since a strong man from the 'New World' can actively spread 'Wuxin Disease', he will most likely be able to make good use of the nodes, absorb the corresponding viruses, and reduce the scope or number of people affected. Otherwise, Commissioner Huang would not suggest that we follow that transfer. "

Shang Jianyao had no objection to this.

The "Old Tune Team" continued to recharge their batteries. After a while, Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian turned their attention to the door at the same time.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?" Shang Jianyao walked towards the door.

"Zhang, Mr. Zhang is looking for you." The slightly trembling voice of hotel manager Shen Kang came into the room.

Shang Jianyao's face showed joy, he opened the door and saw Mr. Zhang holding a gray-white deep-bottomed aluminum pot.

He was still wearing the black Salvation Army uniform that had been starched until it turned white.

"Mr. Zhang, they are in the room, can I go?" Shen Kang turned to Mr. Zhang and said.

Mr. Zhang waved his hand and said:

“Go back and reflect deeply, and deeply examine your own problems.

"Humph, don't think I don't know? The reason why those thieves were able to succeed before was because you and your subordinates always turned a blind eye, did not do any checks on the people who left, and even accepted gifts when they should not have done so. When the door opens, open it for them and let them out!”

A layer of sweat broke out on Shen Kang's forehead:

“I just implement the tenet of putting customers first and providing considerate service.

"me……"

"Go back." Mr. Zhang didn't want to hear more of his explanation.

After Shen Kang left the third floor, Mr. Zhang lowered his head and walked into the room through the gap under the aluminum pot while looking at the roadside.

Then he identified people by their shoes and said to Jiang Baimian:

"Little girl, you are so amazing. You didn't seem to notice anything at the time, but you turned around and found that guy!"

"I was worried that acting too abnormally would arouse the target's alertness." Jiang Baimian admitted frankly.

Mr. Zhang nodded with satisfaction, which was reflected by the up and down movement of the aluminum pot.

He said:

"No need to explain. Although we, the Salvation Army, are honest with others, we also talk about methods and strategies for dealing with the enemy."

His voice gradually became louder:

"Let me ask you, did something unexpected happen in this matter? Why did the people of the Public Security Management Committee temporarily change the planned plan and let the people gather in the northeast?"

Shang Jianyao did not hesitate and told Jiang Baimian about the "doctor" matter without any hesitation.

Mr. Zhang was speechless for a while.

"So that's it..." Finally, he sighed with emotion, "You little guys have experienced a lot, and you have started to come into contact with things in the 'new world' at such a young age."

He did not question Commissioner Huang's handling.

Mr. Zhang then waved his hand and said:

"I will go back and inform my old comrades so that they can also prepare to move."

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of noisy footsteps suddenly came from the stairs.

Shang Jianyao looked around and saw Commissioner Huang and the staff and security guards around him, including Ding Ling.

Commissioner Huang glanced at Mr. Zhang and walked into the room without saying anything.

Mr. Zhang seemed to have guessed who it was. He remained motionless and stood inside the door, while Ding Ling took the initiative to close the door, blocking the others out.

"So fast?" Jiang Baimian looked at Commissioner Huang and intuitively thought something was wrong.

Didn't it take several hours?

At this point, ordinary people probably have not yet fully gathered, let alone a large-scale evacuation.

Commissioner Huang's eyes swept over Jiang Baimian and others as well as Mr. Zhang, and said in a lowered voice:

"The one sleeping in Wubei cannot be contacted."

What does it mean to be unable to contact? Jiang Baimian first flashed such an idea, and then remembered that Shang Jianyao used the process of releasing the awakened person's ability to connect to Yan Hu's consciousness and heard him calling for help.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Baimian had a clear guess about what Commissioner Huang said:

He used the awakened person's ability to connect to the consciousness of the "New World" strongman in Wubei, but found that the other party did not respond at all?

Who had an accident in the "new world"?

What did "Doctor" do?
