Embers Ad Infinitum

Shang Jianyao's answer was not at all what Wang Fugui expected, and he didn't know how to proceed.

Fortunately, Shang Jianyao had already ignored him. He glanced at the several ruin hunters beside him and looked away.

At the same time, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen also took advantage of the opportunity for the two parties to communicate and openly looked at the people sitting with Wang Fugui.

Among them, the one who impressed Long Yuehong the most was a man with slender limbs.

He has brown hair and blue eyes. He looks quite strong, but he is wearing a black leather jacket with the zipper pulled up high.

He was obviously wrapped tightly, but he still showed a feeling of being extremely cold.

You know, it's midsummer now, and even if the temperature in the mountains is lower than outside, a long T-shirt is enough for normal humans.

"Too weak? Have you been injured before?" Long Yuehong muttered to himself.

The remaining three ruin hunters have no obvious characteristics, except that their clothes and faces are much better than most of the people in the advancing camp. At first glance, they are the kind who are living a good life.

The other loners mentioned by Wang Fugui? Jiang Baimian nodded gently to them, withdrew his gaze without any trace, and sat down at the bar.

They came to Kos Bar to have lunch.

This time, they didn't prepare much food in the car.

"Do you think Wang Fugui is an awakened person?" Long Yuehong sat down and asked in a lowered voice.

At first glance, Wang Fugui had not done any genetic modification, nor had he attempted any mechanical or electronic modification.

And since he was able to live a good life as a lone hunter, and was rated as terrifyingly powerful by Waite, he should be more or less superior to ordinary people.

Eliminating the first two possibilities, there are only two answers left: distortion and awakening.

However, judging from the external appearance, the probability that Wang Fugui is a subhuman being is not too high.

"If so, what price did he pay?" Bai Chen asked in a low voice.

Everything Wang Fugui says and does is no different from a normal person, and there is no way to tell what price he has paid.

"Maybe it's the price of privacy." Jiang Baimian gave his own thoughts.

Shang Jianyao immediately agreed:

"Maybe he has an abnormal sexual fetish and likes animals."

He looked serious.

Obviously, this was inspired by a certain awakened member of the "Rootless" team, and some changes were made based on the current situation of hunting down the giant white wolf.

"No." Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen shook their heads at the same time.

This is female intuition.

They can all feel that Wang Fugui appreciates and desires the opposite sex, but this lone hunter behaves very restrained and polite, so as not to be disgusting.

During the casual discussion, the four members of the "Old Tune Group" enjoyed today's lunch:

The starchy roots of certain wild plants were roasted until they were fragrant and glutinous; a number of palm-sized stream fish were fried to a crispy texture - the oil used came from prey with poor meat quality; several common wild vegetables After cleaning, I put it there...

After lunch, Jiang Baimian and others got up one after another, called Gnava, who was fully charged, and climbed to the third floor of the main building of the castle.

This is where previous survivors received treatment.

Fortunately for them, the giant white wolf has no need for money or inedible materials, and has not deprived them of their belongings, so that they can now afford medical expenses and will not be kicked out.

At a glance, Jiang Baimian found Long En.

The ruins hunter immediately trotted over and asked flatteringly:

"You want to see me if you have something to do?"

Due to a rib injury, his running posture was slightly strange.

"Have you ever seen a hunter named Felin Tong?" Jiang Baimian nodded.

This is the relic hunter who knows the situation of the Mirror Sect and one of the goals of the "Old Tune Team".

After Shang Jianyao finished adding Felin Tong's appearance, Long En shook his head:

"I met him before he was controlled by White Wolf. He was also looking for White Wolf. After that, he never met him again."

Does this mean that Felinton was not "charmed" by the giant white wolf and became a ghost? Jiang Baimian looked to the left and right, signaling Long Yuehong, Bai Chen, and Shang Jianyao to separately inquire about the other survivors.

After asking for a while, Long Yuehong walked towards the third to last target.

It was a relic hunter who barely survived after being shot in the abdomen. He was lying there, his lips were slightly white, and his mental state was not very good.

"Have you ever seen such a hunter? He has gray hair, dark brown eyes, and likes to use shotguns..." Long Yuehong described Felin Tong's situation step by step.

The ruins hunter on the bed moved his eyes slightly and said:

"I've seen it."

"When?" Long Yuehong perked up.

The ruins hunter subconsciously wanted to say "you have to pay", but then he remembered the strength of the opposing team and his own situation, so he changed his words:

"When being controlled by White Wolf."

He didn't want the injury to become serious and never be rescued.

"Ah?" Long Yuehong was surprised and happy.

Jiang Baimian and Gnawa then came closer.

The ruins hunter calmed down for a while and continued:

"White Wolf will let us act as guards to guard different areas.

"I remember, that night, I was guarding a road in a cave. I saw this man sneaking in and wanted to come in. I, I shot and tried to kill him. He was so frightened that he ran into another road, and then, again Didn’t show up.”

Jiang Baimian listened quietly and asked:

"In other words, he has never been controlled by the White Wolf?"

"Yes." The ruins hunter gave a very positive reply.

Jiang Baimian turned to ask:

"How did you see him in the cave?"

"There are torches." The relic hunter replied. "The first few times I used a flashlight, but then the battery ran out of power."

At this time, Shang Jianyao also asked about a similar situation from a survivor.

He was guarding another intersection.

Combining the descriptions of the two people, Jiang Baimian initially judged that Felintong entered the cave through another entrance and exit, and then was discovered by the "guard" and rushed into the side road in a panic.

And where that branch of the road leads, no one currently knows.

"It seems that I have to go into the cave after all." Jiang Baimian sighed after returning to the parking place.

She considered it for a few seconds, looked at Gnawa and said:

"On the one hand, we let lone hunters like Wang Fugui 'help' explore the road. On the other hand, we also have to make some preparations. For example, we make simple versions of drones and remote-controlled cars to scout first, then go deeper, and explore section by section. This can better prevent collapse caused by the previous explosion."

"Well, I will try my best to collect electronic components and try to make it with the equipment I have." Gnawa spread his right hand, "But you have to give me enough Orei."

As a law-abiding intelligent robot, if you don’t rely on buying, why should you still rob?

"I'm here to help." Shang Jianyao was very interested in this and looked eager to try.

…………

Night fell again, and a bright moon appeared in the sky.

Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao, who were on duty, were each patrolling. They saw many vehicles swaying under the light of the street lights, and heard vague or hoarse moans coming from all directions.

A word suddenly appeared in Jiang Baimian's mind:

"Carpe Diem."

Just then, she saw Shang Jianyao stop, look at the bright moon high in the sky, and open his mouth.

He wouldn't want to imitate these people, would he? Isn't this too shameful? Jiang Baimian thought blankly and amusedly.

The next second, Shang Jianyao made a voice:

"Ouch!"

The roar carried far away in the relatively quiet night of the mountain forest, as if the giant white wolf had sneaked into the advance camp.

In an instant, all the moans stopped and all the shaking subsided, leaving only a little aftermath.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

——For those who have not yet fallen asleep in the advancing camp, the current "wolf howl" is completely different from the previous roar. It is obviously very close and requires alertness.

"..." Jiang Baimian was speechless and wanted to turn away and pretend not to know that guy.

It's a pity that after the battle with White Wolf, the "Old Tune Team" has already made a name for itself in this advanced camp. Everyone knows that they have four members and one robot, and they are very powerful.

"You will be beaten like this!" Jiang Baimian quickly stopped Shang Jianyao from letting out a second "wolf howl".

Although Shang Jianyao was unwilling, he still chose to obey the order.

Beams of flashlight light appeared and shone here and there, but no dangerous wild animals were found.

After this incident, the groaning and shaking vehicles became much less frequent.

When the "alarm" was completely lifted, Jiang Baimian lowered his voice and asked Shang Jianyao:

"Why are you suddenly howling like a wolf?"

Shang Jianyao replied seriously:

"I'm simulating the roar of the white wolf to see if I can lure the nightmare horse over."

Seduction... Jiang Baimian's expression froze on his face, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice unconsciously.

"Do you have the ability to 'charm'?" she asked angrily and funny.

"No." Shang Jianyao answered honestly.

"Then it's over?" Jiang Baimian simply interrupted the exchange.

As time goes by, the moon gradually climbs higher, and all kinds of movements slowly disappear.

Jiang Baimian looked around and finally felt the ultimate tranquility of the night.

Tranquility... She suddenly frowned.

In the forward camp, each relic hunter team will keep people on duty overnight, and the "Primary City" regular army stationed here will also send personnel to patrol to prevent the invasion of dangerous creatures.

Therefore, no matter what, it is impossible to achieve ultimate tranquility.

Something went wrong? But I didn't notice anything... Could it be that there was something wrong with me? This, is this a dream? Is the Nightmare Horse really here? No, the nightmare horse can only make dreams become real, but cannot make people fall asleep! Is this a sleeping cat? Nightmare Horse's friend Sleeping Cat is also here? Jiang Baimian's thoughts started to spin and he began to think about how to wake himself up.

At this moment, she felt an obvious tremor in the ground, and the entire mountain swayed violently.

At this moment, it's like the end has come again.

Shaking and shaking, Jiang Baimian heard the movement around him and saw Shang Jianyao's face.

He grabbed Jiang Baimian's shoulders and said excitedly:

"The Nightmare Horse and the Ghost Cat are here!"
